Threw you the obvious And you flew with it on your back A name in your recollection Down among a million, say: Difficult enough to feel a little bit Disappointed, passed over. When I've looked right through, To see you naked and oblivious and you don't see me
Well I threw you the obvious, Just to see if there's more behind the Eyes of a fallen angel, Eyes of a tragedy.
Here I am expecting just a little bit Too much from the wounded But I see, See through it all, See through, And see you.
So I threw you the obvious Do you see what occurs behind the Eyes of a fallen angel Eyes of a tragedy
Well, oh well..
Apparently nothing. Apparently nothing at all.
You don't You don't You don't see me You don't You don't You don't see me You don't You don't You don't see me You don't You don't You don't see me at all
I can't see the meaning of this life I'm leading I try to forget you as you forgot me This time there is nothing left for you to take, this is goodbye
Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay
And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away
Close to ending it all, I am drifting through the stages Of the rapture born within this loss Thoughts of death inside, tear me apart from the core of my soul
Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay
And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away
At times the dark's fading slowly But it never sustains Would someone watch over me In my time of need
You got a fast car I want a ticket to anywhere Maybe we make a deal Maybe together we can get somewhere
Anyplace is better Starting from zero got nothing to lose Maybe we'll make something But me myself I got nothing to prove
You got a fast car And I got a plan to get us out of here I been working at the convenience store Managed to save just a little bit of money We won't have to drive too far Just 'cross the border and into the city You and I can both get jobs And finally see what it means to be living
You see my old man's got a problem He live with the bottle that's the way it is He says his body's too old for working I say his body's too young to look like his My mama went off and left him She wanted more from life than he could give I said somebody's got to take care of him So I quit school and that's what I did
You got a fast car But is it fast enough so we can fly away We gotta make a decision We leave tonight or live and die this way
I remember we were driving driving in your car The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder And I had a feeling that I belonged And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone
You got a fast car And we go cruising to entertain ourselves You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted We'll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs You got a fast car And I got a job that pays all our bills You stay out drinking late at the bar See more of your friends than you do of your kids I'd always hoped for better Thought maybe together you and me would find it I got no plans I ain't going nowhere So take your fast car and keep on driving
You got a fast car But is it fast enough so you can fly away You gotta make a decision You leave tonight or live and die this way
Out at the train tracks I dream of escape But a song comes onto my iPod And I realize it's getting late
And I can't take the staring And the sympathy And I don't like the questions "How do you feel?" "How's it going in school?" and "Do you wanna talk about it?"
Way out Way out of here Fade out Fade out, vanish
And I'm trying to forget you And I know that I will In a thousand years, or maybe a week Burn all your pictures, and cut out your face
The shutters are down and the curtains are closed And I've covered my tracks Disposed of the car
Trying to forget even your name and the way that you look When you're sleeping Dreaming of this
You lived a time of lies until you told me everything I hope we make amends, but you don't Life taught you how to fly and then you flew away from me You left me haunted, star the ending image of the one
'Cuz they're still in you too low All the voices you don't know And they're still in you too low All the choices that you chose (Make the voices tell me who you are and who I am to be)
You harbored all the wasted sighs to define the quiet drone I'll let you start again, but you won't I saw you pray for change and then you walked all over me You wanted what you could not have and now you are alone
Are you alone where you are tonight? I'm alone when you're right here But I'm still in you somehow I never left at all Now I'm stealing you too low So my voice is all you know
'Cuz they're still in you too low All the voices we don't know And they're still in you too low All the choices that you chose Leave you nothing left to hold
When you're nothing it's a good time to remind you of one thing The pursuit begins when this portrayal of life...ends
Was I left behind? Someone tell me, tell me I survived. Don't look so surprised that I'm home, but just for tonight. With rough hands and sore eyes so don't speak, I am tired. Let's just live through this lie.
She says I swear too much, she says a lot of things, well I'd swear every other word if I could for her I'll make an attempt.
Sometimes love isn't about how much someone suits you but how much you're willing to change to suit them.
All my bones are dust, (Two people too damaged too much too late) and my heart's sealed with rust. (Two people too damaged too much too late) These hands will always be rough. (Two people too damaged too much too late) I know this won't count for much. (Two people too damaged too much too late)
One day my hands were too soft, one day she said, "I'm tired". one day her clothes were on my floor, one day, empty bottles.
Well I'm not saying she's my last. I'm just saying that she could have been, it doesn't matter how rough these hands get. It doesn't matter cause I'm not her man.
All my bones are dust, (rough hands, rough days) (Two people too damaged too much too late) and my heart's sealed with rust. (rough hands, rough season) (Two people too damaged too much too late) These hands will always be rough. (rough hands, rough days) (Two people too damaged too much too late) I know this won't count for much. (rough hands, rough season) (Two people too damaged too much too late)
I find you in the morning After dreams of distant signs You pour yourself over me Like the sun through the blinds You lift me up And get me out Keep me walking But never shout Hold the secret close I hear you say
You know the way It throws about It takes you in And spits you out It spits you out When you desire To conquer it To feel you're higher To follow it You must be clean With mistakes That you do mean Move the heart Switch the pace Look for what seems out of place
On and on it goes Calling like a distant wind Through the zero hour we'll walk Cut the thick and break the thin No sound to break no moment clear When all the doubts are crystal clear Crashing hard into the secret wind
You know the way It twists and turns Changing colour Spinning yarns You know the way It leaves you dry It cuts you up It takes you high You know the way It's painted gold Is it honey Is it gold You know the way It throws about It takes you in And spits you out You know the way It throws about It takes you in And spits you out It spits you out When you desire To conquer it To feel you're higher To follow it You must be clean With mistakes That you do mean Move the heart Switch the pace Look for what Seems out of place
It's o.k. It goes this way The line is thin It twists away Cuts you up It throws about Keep me walking But never shout.
Nuevos ojos nueva piel nuevas las manos del placer Van metiéndose y de a poco dominando mi querer mi querer Y la flor sobre la herida que ha dejado la tristeza del vacío indeseado es la flor que va creciendo en la marea de mi piel Y al olvido de los días imagino tus caricias y te pido guárdate La aventura que posiblemente sea una más pero como siempre he sido muy intensa pienso que te quedarás Y en el éxtasis de un beso imaginario mis tragedias forman parte del pasado y me guardo la visión maravillosa en la piel
Y en el éxtasis de un beso imagino más que eso y te pido quédate Y al olvido de los días imagino tus caricias y te pido quédate
Y en el éxtasis de un beso imaginario mis tragedias forman parte del pasado y me guardo la visión maravillosa en la piel Ely Guerra - Peligro
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you bad But I did it anyway And then maybe Some would say your life was sad But you lived it anyway
And so maybe Your friends they stand beside they watch you crumble As you falter to the ground And now maybe Your friends they stand beside as you were flying Oh you were flying oh so high
But then some day people look at you for what they call their own They watch you suffer Yeah they hear you calling home
But then some day we could take our time To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad But I did it anyway Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had But you couldn't share the pain No, no, no Couldn't share the pain they watch you suffer
Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes But I live with what Ive known Yes maybe we might share in something great But wont you look at where we've grown Wont you look at where we've gone
But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I fear for you in my mind As you trip the final line And that cold day when you lost control Shame you left my life So soon you should have told me But you left me far behind
Now maybe I didn't meant to treat you oh so bad But I did it anyway Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had But you couldn't share the pain No, no, no
Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad But I did it anyway No maybe some would say you're left with what you had But you couldn't share the pain I said times have changed your friends They come and watch you crumble to the ground They watch you suffer Yeah they hold you down Hold you down
Maybe brother maybe love I didn't mean to treat you bad But you left me far behind Left me far behind Left me far behind Candlebox - Far behind
I'm not sure what I'm looking for anymore I just know that I'm harder to console I don't see who I'm trying to be instead of me But the key is a question of control
Can you say what you're trying to play anyway I just pay while you're breaking all the rules All the signs that I find have been underlined Devils thrive on the drive that is fueled
All this running around, well it's getting me down Just give me a pain that I'm used to I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive You just need to achieve something that rings true
There's a hole in your soul like an animal With no conscience, repentance, oh no Close your eyes, pay the price for your paradise Devils feed on the seeds of the soul
I can't conceal what I feel, what I know is real No mistaking the faking, I care With a prayer in the air I will leave it there On a note full of hope not despair
All this running around, well it's getting me down Just give me a pain that I'm used to I don't need to believe all the dreams you conceive You just need to achieve something that rings true
