Still We Rise

Open my eyes
I've bled for this moment
Feel so alive
Under your spell
I'd rather die
Then let them control me
If it's goodbye
See you in hell

Let the victors rise
Let the idols fall
Let the cowards hide
Let the victims cry
Let the dreamers want
Let the spirits guide

Welcome to the wounded paradise
Don't believe the truth just fantasize
Maybe we’re just doomed or scared to try
But somehow Still We Rise
Somehow Still We Rise

Teach me to fly
I'm drenched in the moment
Buzzards they fly
Around your head
Keep up the fight
Don't mess with the bullshit
Shine like a light
With no regrets

Let the hustlers grind
Let the thieves rip off
Let the weak abide
Let the cheaters lie
Let the preachers talk
Let the stars align

Welcome to the wounded paradise
Don't believe the truth just fantasize
Maybe we’re just doomed or scared to try
But somehow Still We Rise
Somehow Still We Rise

Somehow, Somehow Still We Rise
Somehow, Somehow Still We Rise

Welcome to the wounded paradise
Don't believe the truth just fantasize
Maybe we’re just doomed or scared to try
But somehow Still We Rise
Somehow Still We Rise

I See Sparks

She came out of the blue
and ripped my eyes wide open I could tell by her wounds she’d already been broken

But when the night is covered in dark And her walls are severed and torn apart

I See Sparks
I See Sparks
Only Love can tear us apart I See Sparks

We lit up like a fuse Waiting for an explosion Thought I was fireproof Till I saw her in motion

But when the night is covered dark
And the whole world start to come apart

I See Sparks
I See Sparks
Only Love can tear us apart I See Sparks

And now the damage starts And we remember who we are Although we’ve come this far
I See Sparks

I See Sparks x2
Only love can tear us apart x3 I See Sparks

Faded Purple White Trash Royal

I saved every bead of sweat, you slept While I just burned the oil
And even at my very best, I'm faded Purple white trash royal

I needed you to fill me up, and keep Me on the dotted line
Now every word is murder and I'm stuck here feeling dead inside

There's no in between us
We're just dreamers till our demons call
There's no one to grieve us
When we make our final curtain call

Drowning in the deep end
Heavy feet but can we make the shore
Can't reach out for Jesus when the Devils in the bottom drawer

Guns, Money, Sex, Drugs

We want it all dirty hearts are dangerous
We want it all til the dark side breaks us

I tried to confess to
Every mess you swept off to the side Poison on my breathe, I cheated death And i feel so alive

Life is just a beast that eats the weak And it won't be denied
You can't talk to heaven
When the devils on the other line

There's no in between us
They can't reach us where were Trying to go

There's no road to lead us
To the secret or the antidote
Caught up in the deep end
Heavy feet but can we stay a float
A thousand times to hell and back
And still I feel invincible

Guns, Money, Sex, Drugs

We want it all dirty hearts are dangerous
We want it all til the dark side breaks us

All the nights we stumbled to bed
All the lies we told under our breathe

Guns, Money, Sex, Drugs

Every single night I lie awake and try To shake the doom
Every single day I watch the light Expose a different wound

Somewhere in the static dirty habits Get the best of you
Shot out of a cannon but we landed on the wicked truth

There's no in between us
We're just dreamers till our demons Call
There's no one to grieve us
When we make our final curtain call

Drowning in the deep end
Heavy feet but can we make the shore Can't reach out for Jesus when the Devils in the bottom drawer

Get Numb

I walked through heroin
The full moon pulled me in
And I felt saved
It's warm embrace

I drove myself to church
To inhale Jesus words
And I felt saved
He spoke to me

Everybody wants to fill the void Everybody wants to kill the noise
And shed their skin
To feel something

I don't need it
Pain is just a weakness
Every morning I Get Numb
Every morning I Get Numb

All my demons
Wake me to release them
Every morning I Get Numb
Every Morning I Get Numb
Better believe It

I climbed your fire escape
To steal your heart away
And you were gone
So I moved on

I called my pharmacy
And he’s swarmed by police
Now my debts gone
And he’s reborn

Everybody wants to fill the void Everybody wants to kill the noise
And shed their skin
To feel something

(Chorus)

Haunts Me

What kind of love is this
What kind of love is this
What kind of love exists
As fucked up as this. X2

I wanna know what this is
Feeling broken and sick
And it really haunts me
Yeah, it really haunts me

I wanna know what you are Something born in the dark
Did you really want me
Yeah, did you really want me

Well there’s no rest
For the wicked
When the darkness
Is calling for me. X2

What kind of love is this
What kind of love is this
What kind of love exists
As fucked up as this. X2

I wanna know how it feels
To destroy something real
Ever since you found me
Got darkness all around me

I wanna know where you’ve been
Are we close to the end
Did you start to doubt me
Think you could live without me

Well there’s no rest
For the wicked
When the darkness
Is calling for me. X2

What kind of love is this
What kind of love is this
What kind of love exists
As fucked up as this. X2

Cause this love is fatal
And we’re not able
To let go

What kind of love is this
What kind of love is this
What kind of love exists
As fucked up as this. X4

Born Ready

Born Ready

I was born with a storm inside me

Hurricane, full of rage, set me free.

I try to pray but the devil he finds me

Someone lift me up.

Someone lift me up

Take a hit, flip the switch, can't turn off

In a pit, off the grid, just burn off

Like a spark, light the dark, then lift off

Elevate me up

On the run

Here it Comes

I was Born Ready, Born Ready

Oh's x2

I was Born Ready, Born Ready

oh's x2

I was Born for This

I was Born, I was Born, I was Born, I was Born for this

I was Born Ready, Born Ready

Oh's x2

Got a name but it's not what they call me

Got a heart that kickstarts like a Harley

Hit the jaw like a runaway army

Someone start me up

On the run

Here it Comes

I was Born Ready, Born Ready

Oh's x2

I was Born Ready, Born Ready

oh's x2

I was Born for This

I was Born, I was Born, I was Born, I was Born for this

I was Born Ready, Born Ready

Oh's x2

Born Ready(high pitched voice)

I Was Born Ready, Born Ready

Oh's x2

I Was Born For This

I Was Born Ready, Born Ready

Oh's x2

I Was Born For This

Rust To Gold

Look at the stars in the sky

We are here lost in the night

Like a child whose been kissed by the dark

It hurts like a hole in our heart

There is something you should know

I’d die before I’d let you go

I work my fingers to the bone

To follow the light of this

All the things that we’ve been told

We will never let them go

All our dreams from Rust to Gold

We will never let them beat us

All the things that we’ve been told

We will never let them go

All our dreams from Rust to Gold

We will never let them bleed us

We will never let them beat us

We will never let them bleed us

Burning our eyes in the sun

Our demons have no where to run

Like sirens that cut through the light

Oh, we’ll never stop chasing this life

There is something you should know

I’d die before I’d let you go

I work my fingers to the bone

To follow the light of this

All the things that we’ve been told

We will never let them go

All our dreams from Rust to Gold

We will never let them beat us

All the things that we’ve been told

We will never let them go

All our dreams from Rust to Gold

We will never let them bleed us

We will never let them beat us

We will never let them bleed us

Musical Interlude

Chorus the rest of the way out

Savages

I’m just trying to figure out the Savage that you are
It’s like we’re two planets crashed into the same star

Now all my thoughts are like a distant warning
You left a headache on my voice recording

I’m just trying to figure out how flashes turn to dark

We live like Savages, Savages
Savages

We live Like

All the plans that we made were just a lost cause
It’s like we turned a parade into a death march

A dirty angel landed on my shoulder
She said “ be calm and let the drugs take over”

I’m just tired of blowing these ashes into sparks

We live like Savages, Savages
Savages

We live Like

This is what it feels like X 8

We live like Savages, Savages
Savages

We live like

The World is on Fire

Stuck behind a wall of love

And if there is a God above

He will let you fill a cup

With all your desires

Never meant to see the light

It's sentimental suicide

And I can turn the smallest notion

Into a riot

I keep it all inside

And I'll never see the light but...

Sometimes less is more than you’ll ever need

Love is like a war but you better be sure

Where you place your desires

Cause...the world is on Fire ×4

I see the ashes in the sky

The city's broken on its side

But I can turn the broken

Into cold hearted lions

Someone let the ceiling fall

We gave our love to criminals

But I am your emotions

When you try to deny them

I keep it all inside

And I'll never see the light but..

Sometimes less is more than you’ll ever need

Love is like a war but you better be sure

Where you place your desires

Cause...the world is on Fire ×4

I've seen enough

The violent birth of our souls

I've seen the rust

And I know it's time to let it go

I've seen enough

The fire deep in our souls

I've seen the love

And I know I just can't let it go

Sometimes less is more than you’ll ever need

Love is like a war but you better be sure

Where you place your desires

Sometimes less is more than you’ll ever need

Love is like a war but you better be sure

Where you place your desires

Rise Above It All

For every time I’ve fallen down

For every wall that keeps us bound.

For everyone we've beaten to the ground, and watched them fade away

For every wrong I couldn't right

For every sleepless night I hoped and dreamed

For every one, everywhere, every cross I couldn't bear to watch you leave..

But I will not break when all hope is lost

I will be brave and rise above it all

All the mistakes, the pain, the rise and fall

But I will not break and rise above it all

Oh’s

For all the blood we've yet to bleed

For every beauty fading endlessly

In the city washed in light, we come alive, the night is young and so are we

But I will not break when all hope is lost

I will be brave and rise above it all

All the mistakes, the pain, the rise and fall

But I will not break and rise above it all

Oh’s

Here's where we start, here's where we begin

The voices change, but we're the same

A million hearts with the same fiction..

And it was more than I could take

Oh’s

All For You

I was doomed from the start

And I held my regrets

I was covered in dark

And I wore it like death

Still I got a heart

That pounds in this chest

And my closet is full for days

But when your strength is gone

And the lights go grey

I'll sing your favorite song

I'll be your hit parade

With every breathe I've blown

I've failed a million ways

And everything I own

I tore to pieces

When the darkness comes

To conceal my wounds

I did it all for you

My vacant eyes

Hide the dangerous truth

I did it all for you

I can be smart, I can be misled

I can be dark and I can be wasted

I swam like a shark

Through a sea of this red

But your blood is all that I tasted

I know the things they say

And they were never true

With every step I take

It brings me back to you

I know we may be cursed

I know I'm not brand new

But for all it's worth

I live and die for you

When the darkness comes

To conceal my wounds

I did it all for you

My vacant eyes

Hide the dangerous truth

I did it all for you

I'll keep your secrets safe

I'll take them to my grave

And you can be my saint

When I'm in pieces

With no more lies to tell

We know this place too well

And we can share this hell

It all begins with you

Chorus x2
