Lyrics

Where Is The Line?

Urban hipster, the new gangster...
frontin' by the club
new wave mannequins packin' haircuts,
instead of packin' guns
magazines from overseas
won't teach you how to feel
they trade in their hearts for indie rock charts
to tell them what is real

when did they assume... putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to... ostracize
out of the woodwork... art aficionados
answer one question...

where is the line? where is the line?
Between your fashion and your mind
where is the line? where is the line?
cause some of us aren't blind!
where is the line? where is the line?
To be yourself is not a crime
where is the line? where is the line?
cause some of us aren't blind!

She sells street cred with no smile
at the local record store
she's acting the role and dressing the part
pretending to be bored
the truth about conformity
is it bites without a sting
trends come and go, but when you're alone
it doesn't mean a thing

when did they assume... putting on a costume?
Gave them a right to... ostracize
out of the woodwork... art aficionados
answer one question...

where is the line? where is the line?
Between your fashion and your mind
where is the line? where is the line?
cause some of us aren't blind!
where is the line? where is the line?
To be yourself is not a crime
where is the line? where is the line?
cause some of us aren't blind!

Here today but forgotten tomorrow!

Let the rain fall down, let it fall to the ground,
Let the rain fall down to the ground.
And the birds don't sing, no they don't make a sound,
When you're six feet underground.

Well they cast me out when the word spread around
That I never sang in the church.
And it took one night for the town to decide
I'm afflicted by the curse.

And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground.
And the birds don't sing, no they don't make a sound.
So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why,
Do they all get to live, and I have to die?

So they marched me down to the center of town,
With their pitchforks high in the air.
I was chained and bound with a blindfold around
So the judge wouldn't catch my stare.
And they hung my soul from the gallows pole
But the witch they never found.
So to those who don't fit society's mold,
Learn to swim or you will drown.

And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground.
And the birds don't sing, no they don't make a sound.
So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why,
Do they all get to live, and I have to die?

And the angels sing: let it shine, let it shine,
Dry the teardrops from my eyes.
And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind,
'Cause the dead can't testify.
And because I can't take an eye for an eye,
In the afterlife I'll haunt you 'till you die!

And the rain falls down, let it fall to the ground
(Let teardrops hit the ground!)
And the birds don't sing, no they don't make a sound
(When you're six feet underground!)
So I look to the sky, tell me why, tell me why,
Do they all get to live, and I have to die?

And the angels sing: let it shine, let it shine,
Dry the teardrops from my eyes.
And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind,
'Cause the dead can't testify.
And because I can't take an eye for an eye,
In the afterlife I'll haunt you 'till you die!

And the angels sing: let it shine, let it shine,
Dry the teardrops from my eyes.
And the bells will ring when the blind lead the blind,
'Cause the dead can't testify.
And because I can't take an eye for an eye,
In the afterlife I'll haunt you 'till you die!

She reads a book from across the street
Waiting for someone that she'll never meet
Talk over coffee for an hour or two
She wonders why I'm always in a good mood

Killing time before she struts her stuff
She needs support and I've become the crutch
She'll never know how much she means to me
I'd play the game but I'm the referee

(Surrender)
Every word, every thought, every sound
(Surrender)
Every touch, every smile, every frown
(Surrender)
All the pain we've endured until now
(Surrender)
All the hope that I lost you have found
(Surrender) Yourself to me

Even though I know what I'm looking for
She's got a brick wall behind her door
I'd travel time and confess to her
But I'm afraid she'd shoot the messenger

I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
Searching until my hands bleed
This flower don't belong to me
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
Searching until my hands bleed
This flower don't belong to me
This flower don't belong to me
Why can't she belong to me?

Every word, every thought, every sound
Every touch, every smile, every frown
All the pain we've endured until now
All the hope that I lost, you have found

(Surrender)
Every word, every thought, every sound
(Surrender)
Every touch, every smile, every frown
(Surrender)
All the pain we've endured until now
(Surrender)
All the hope that I lost you have found

(Surrender)
I never had the nerve to ask
(Surrender)
Has my moment come and passed?
(Surrender)
I never had the nerve to ask
(Surrender)
Has my moment come and passed?
(Surrender)
I never had the nerve to ask
(Surrender)
Has my moment come and passed?
(Surrender)
I never had the nerve to ask

Hey!

Down, let's take it down
Raise up their heads on a stake
We will show no mercy
On evolution's mistake

Change, will have to wait
If we can't decide on a fate
Self appointed prophets
And a doomsday charade

You preach about love
And teach about faith
But all your beliefs are still rooted in hate

[x2:]
Crosses to burn
Axes to fall
And down on your knees you just don't look so tall

Stop, punch in the clock
Punch it with all of your rage
Put the men in office
For a minimum wage

Rats fighting for scraps
Siphon the gas from your tank
Left your pockets empty
As they laughed to the bank

They speak about trust
But make no mistake
They're shaking your hand while they spit in your face

[x2:]
Crosses to burn
Axes to fall
And down on your knees you just don't look so tall

Now, the time is now
We can still turn it around
Raise your voice like a weapon
'Til they fall to the ground

Light, let there be light
Without a shadow of doubt
We will fight tooth and nail until
Salvation is found

So how can you look the world in the eyes
When all we can see is corruption and lies

Down on your knees you don't look so tall [x2]

Cracking the whip on the backs of the poor
We asked you to stop but you still wanted more
The blood on your hands left a trail as you crawl
Down on your knees you just don't look so tall

[x3:]
Crosses to burn
Axes to fall
Down on your knees you just don't look so tall

Crosses to burn
Axes to fall
Down on your knees you just don't look so tall
Open your eyes and the empire falls

Covered In Cowardice

twisted tongues will place you in their category
face to face you'll hear them tell a different story

cowards that hide behind their words
don't care whose feelings will get hurt
their eyes are blinded by their rage

when your insecure,
they'll find the fuel to start a fire
they're pent up pricks with only hatred to inspire
level heads prevail, revenge won't make it better
trust your instinct
like you trust what's in the mirror
