lyrics

when you're alone and your head starts to pound call me up I'll come around tell me how you never fell feet planted deep in the ground tell me off if you want to before you do let me tell you they only call it cognitive dissonance cause ya can't see how you're living it everything fits so perfect used to be so different detached from reality a show of fealty now and again it appears to be a lack of interest maybe burning heat becoming paltry nothing new to me if I go now will you let free all the things that are so dear to me they only call it cognitive dissonance cause ya can't see how you're living it everything fits so perfect used to be so different thunder lightning wind and rain sunlight

sitting by the sea questioning what I know to be real a philosophy white yellow lines together in rhyme logic commits no crimes I'm asleep at the wheel and sailors ships have run away come again another day liars will be liars let them lie awake long ways away feel none of this pain everything I've seen just seems to fall away no way to escape the road goes on forever level this playing field if I'm gonna play your game and sailors ships have gone away to come again some other day liars will be liars let them lie aware and sailors ships have gone away to come again another day liars will be liars let them lie awake I know you're afraid of the things you can't see let me lead you to the wide open sea ways to release I know of quite a few let your anger out it won't linger around and sailors ships have gone away to come again another day liars will be liars let them lie awake infinite quiet galaxies burning up a place like this marred by your corrupt regime I don't want to wait for the right time to say the president's afraid lincoln city's gone under the rain and sailors ships have run away to come again some other day liars will be liars let them lie to me and pirates ships have come today come again another day riots will be riots let them be free

a paris massacre in the back of my mind going thru the doors a life is on the line tell me all the things you gave away with time or was it all just a cover for the crime the bombing of a shrine the shelling and the lies I'd tell you what I mean but I can't be so obscene the end of time for glamour and design we beat them to the punch with a quick one-two crunch take me to the top please make it stop so afraid of cold hard rain I don't wanna die but I'm questioning why as we fly away from Paris again we run lies and guns deadly fun come undone

you can tear down your heroes they won't even care you can tear down a wall still a massacre still they war a building on fire full of words taken down by monuments built by fools still they won i am not a hero I sit here and play my song even so I try the prophet and the scholar screaming aloud overtaken by war machines without a sound again, again, we're dying everywhere you look it seems something's goin wrong no one really knows what the hell is goin on every day transfix your memories on the ones that hurt if pain says we're alive then what's there to forget when you're stuck in the middle way if i were a hero I wouldn't be all alone I end where I begin the monuments we made fell into the sea only to be remade by raw deceit you're always fucking me up it's time to go away now there’s no more massacres everything dies in the end end where you begin start all over again and in the end time to do it again end where you begin start all over again and in the end time to do it again

All Roads Lead To Nowhere 06:27
lyrics

All roads lead to nowhere even if you're not alone step into the car I'll show anywhere you want to go but be warned you don't get to go home day in day out peddling around I've worn my hope like a noose so it shows my neck is scarred from the gallows of life it hurts just to think of the price the truth is a lie as your life's on the line all days go by wishing that I could fly but you got my wings tied All roads lead to nowhere even if you're not alone step into the car I'll show anywhere you want to go but be warned you don't get to go home my signal's on I'm turning for the right the light has changed composure of this picture paints you so bright burning my eyes with those black knee highs nothing else matters you're the fuel on my fire nothing could ever take that away from me help me honey please I'm being crushed by the weight of my life All roads lead to nowhere even if you're not alone step into the car I'll show anywhere you want to go but be warned you don't get to go home I'm tired of this run tired of being myself I'm tired of starting again I'm tired with this life if this road goes on forever I want to get out wanna stretch my legs I didn't even want to go in the first place who the hell have I replaced All roads lead to nowhere even if you're not alone step into the car I'll show anywhere you want to go but be warned you don't get to go home you don't get to go home
