Use your delusions
To get ahead
I'm not faking
A single breath
You say these days are made of rust
Counted out
Counted out in loss
I've got plans to prove them wrong
I got manners
Like a comedy
If you push too hard
It's a thin veneer
Got the new deal
It's like a wish
See me wanting
All of this
Let you take me
Deep down the river
Kiss the changes
That shape my life
Always
Left behind
All the tracks that
I could find
All these scars are mine
I was thinking
Got the feeling
The gift you gave
Is gonna last forever
All the lies you find
All the truth you see
Rise and fall
But I know what's mine
Here we lie
Looking up to
Empty sky
And the promises we find
I'm not the first one
To ask why
All we ever try
I choose to pull my punches
Don't you test my conscience
You'll see
You'll see
Cut your teeth and make your peace
Is what you ask for
Got a way of getting
What I want to see
When you know I'm winning
You'll get over me
All the trash you're thinking
Don't you feel it sinking
All this bitter fighting
Makes no sense to me
We're only talking circles
Loosin' sympathy
No time like the future
Make signs 'cause I need ya
Well it's only time
It's only time that makes you
Well it's only time
It's only time that breaks you
Yeah they're gonna make ya
Pay for the crime
And put you up in cages
Treat you unkind
All your plans are made now
Just like they told you
So what becomes of Monday
Now that Sunday's gone
All you ever wanted
Will come to you one day
Just when you taste it
You turn and walk away
What do I hear
About war and peace
What do I hear
About love and sex
I'm delirious
For an answer
Taking me deeper
And deeper in mind
I'm only looking
Fascination for
Limits of love
Should I aim higher
And higher and higher
Will I break you
Like some possession
To learn my lesson
You think it's easy 'cause you don't know the feeling
Make it up
Make it up like you do no wrong
Give me fever like a man blind from passion
If you got the time I'll show you how to turn it on
Please
You got that need
She got her ways to get me down on the floor
And take me places that I never seen before
Someone told me I got to take it easy
But I'm a junkie
A junkie when the heat is on
Full moon over dirty hearts
Don't be surprised
By the way it is
I've broken bones for less
I took a voyage
On the deep blue sea
But I had to swim away
I swam away that day
Innocence is what we want
Now even children think that way
I need a new way
Out of here
The door
Is opening
Freedom take me deeper
All the blue days
Gone astray
The clouds
Are giving in
I'm losing my fear
Suddenly
The way
Has come to me
Kill the pain you feel
I know you've seen some things
That hurt you in your dreams
Your face
It tells the story
The pages stained with tears
You kill the pain you feel
Keep the heart
Take the curtains down
The sun is what you found
It leads you far from here
And takes you to high ground
Find a way
Keep the heart
You have within
All you lovers
Take a look around
Before they cut your roses down
All they've got is bones and blood
Don't they know that love is around
Make your way through the pain
You've got no one to blame (no one)
Put a rope around
Crush into the ground
All in the name of love
[muffled words]
All you lovers
Take a look around
Before they cut your roses down
All they have is bones and blood
Don't they know that love is around
You meet the devil within
And that's a name not a friend (that's right)
Comes around knocking down doors
And when you let him in
Gonna burn again
All you lovers
Take a look around
Before they cut your roses down
All they have is bones and blood
Don't they know that love is around
All you lovers
Take a look around
Before they cut your roses down
All they have is bones and blood
Don't they know that love is not around
Your moment
Is coming
Hold on
How you gonna be when tell the story
Everything we took
Was it from each other
It's too late to get around it
Say goodbye to how we found it
This is what we least expected
Don't you put the blame on the messenger
I've seen the flames
That lick at survival
Check your dreams
Into the justice hotel
Can't stop looking at the lights
All around my head
I'm missing the darker side
Of the man
He's on his knees
Looking for the door
But everybody's
Giving him applause
Crashed the car
Into a wall
But everybody's
Calling for more
It's called the end of rock and roll
These days are numbered
Counted out in loss
Faith and spirit
Walking hand in hand
To meet a wall
Made of sound
But where does that sound
Find a place today
Maybe we came to the wrong show
I've seen this before
Oh shadow take me
Leave nothing still
'cause I've not seen the miracle
How could anyone
We ask too much of the song
To come and save our souls
When all it's trying to do now
Is save its own
Maybe we came to the wrong show
I've seen this before
It's called the end of rock and roll
