beer and cigarettes there's booze and brunettes there's hookers and midgets all placing their bets on who's getting lucky and who's going down but nobody knows which is which in this town. Darkness and neon puke in the streets there's glowing bar portals spilling out all the beats And I've heard 'em all yeah I've heard 'em before But I'm stumbling around at their beck and their call You can't save my soul It's all full of holes Life in this city is taking it's toll So let the fucker burn Burn it all down Burn it all down And then let it drown Faces are blurred The scene is absurd The animal growls are the worst that I've heard There's no point to the party There's no point at all We're only standing here 'cause we're too afraid to fall You can't save my soul It's all full of holes Life in this city is taking it's toll So let the fucker burn Burn it all down Burn it all down And then let it drown Head in my hands Staying here is the plan The world is spinning round I'm a sick helpless man And I knew this would happen I've been here before But I no longer know How to stop this fall Save my soul It's all full of holes Life in this city is taking it's toll So let the fucker burn Burn it all down Burn it all down And then let it drown

Whaddaya know, it's all a show The curtain's coming down The hero's dead, the villain's fled The actors take their bows The painted smile begins to die as you begin to see That you've been playing masquerades While others fought for real The wind without, the dark within The stagedoor slamming shut For all bright lights have died tonight As you walk away from love Still you hear the jingling bells but can't see where they're at For on your head there still remains A broken jester's cap A tragedy to some, a comedy to others How you've been stumbling around, a jester in a crown The punters laugh, the punters scream Bring on the clowns But I can see your face from here Someone save the clown save the clown You can't go back, you can't stay here the laughter's still too real You wipe away your makeup and destroy all that you've been For those who laughed shall laugh no more the show is over now And he who laughs the last shall walk away from this unbowed A tragedy to some, a comedy to others How you've been stumbling around, a jester in a crown The punters laugh, the punters scream Bring on the clowns But I can see your face from here Someone save the clown save the clown

wake up start the day yeah up and away you drag yourself and all your demons back into the fray you know your life is mess nothing more nothing less and theres a sad sinking feeling it's as good as it gets the lights go out the world caves in and night comes on in the dark city Well I've seen you before but now you've faded some more A ghost of memories left behind, you weren't needed no more But as the lights go out, you're back again and I'm starting to remember why I left you back then the lights go out the world caves in and night comes on in the dark city you don't know who you are you don't know where you've been you got a hole in your heart, you're trying to fill up with sin but it's a one track road straight down to hell But when you get there will you be able to tell. the lights go out the world caves in when night comes on in the dark city

The ashes clogging up my lungs the charred remains of all we've done crunched beneath my feet out here wandering through burned out fields smoke and embers smoke and embers smoke and embers these blackened timbers will not burn the sky is gray the snow is white seeking warmth through evening light as winters chill seeps to the bone you're naked scarred and all alone alone alone smoke and embers smoke and embers smoke and embers these blackened timbers will not burn These blackened timbers will not burn As the world it turns and nothing's learned again we try, the sparks they fly fly up high fly and die The aimless wanderer stumbles on through towns of ghosts and forgotten songs The fire we built has choked and died And now I see the flames were lies lies, all lies smoke and embers smoke and embers smoke and embers these blackened timbers will not burn

Just one more day Just one more way to see Everything's wrong Everything's wrong with me Voices are calling Voices are calling me, they say Give up now, there's nothing left for you to feel Keep on fighting, we all like a joke for free The laughter in the dark The savage grin upon my face I'm dodging lies like bullets as my heart begins to race, they scream Go back, Go back Give up, Give up Head in my hands Flies in my room Keeping me moving Keeping me moving on The shadow of failure The shadow of failure in front of me I tremble before him I tremble before him as he says Give up now, there's nothing left for you to feel Keep on fighting, we all like a joke for free The laughter in the dark The savage grin upon my face I'm dodging lies like bullets as my heart begins to race, they scream Go back, Go back Give up, Give up Head in my hands Flies in my room Walk into darkness Walk into darkness, bring no light Stand on your own now Stand on your own or die on your knees Voices are calling Voices are calling me, they say Give up now, there's nothing left for you to feel Keep on fighting, we all like a joke for free The laughter in the dark The savage grin upon my face I'm dodging lies like bullets as my heart begins to race, they scream Go back, Go back Give up, Give up Head in my hands Flies in my room Walking away Running away Flies in my room Lies in my mind

Mirrors lie, they change before my eyes The face I see in there is no longer mine Twist and turn, I dig and search to learn That something's gone for good And I can't remember what Say my name, I need to hear it again Something is wrong, I don't feel the same My face isn't mine, or am I going insane Gotta change my eyes, change my face, or change my brain Something broke, I fell too far and choked Upon a soup of lies that had filled my throat Can't recall , I just remember falling Something's gone for good And I can't remember what Say my name, I need to hear it again Something is wrong, I don't feel the same My face isn't mine, or am I going insane Gotta change my eyes, change my face, or change my brain Check my notes, feel like a cruel hoax I can't read a single fucking word I wrote Hands are claws, and my face is gone And something's coming back And I don't know what Say my name, I need to hear it again Something is wrong, I don't feel the same My face isn't mine, or am I going insane Gotta change my eyes, change my face, or change my brain
