Bitter 02:51
Take me out to the yard where we used to joke and play Yeah So now you've got me crying where the words won't make me stay Yeah I can't find the strength for us to wait or carry on This won't be the end of me you don't have too long I can't find the strength for us to wait or carry on This won't be the end of me you don't have too long Let's not create a big scene where the people stop and stare Yeah Why are we still fighting I don't even care Yeah You're hell bent on spiting me I wouldn't even dare Yeah I can't find the strength for us to wait or carry on This won't be the end of me you don't have too long I can't find the strength for us to wait or carry on This won't be the end of me you don't have too long I can't find the strength for us to wait or carry on This won't be the end of me you don't have too long I can't find the strength for us to wait or carry on This won't be the end of me you don't have too long

Hope 06:10
Hope, you're on my mind Why do you taunt me? Now every time, I feel, I feel it Hope, you're not kind It hurts when you kill me Again and again, I know, I know it Take me away from this land of dismay where the dreams are crushed by the rocks Take me away to that place far away where Hope and Happiness do not mock Take me away from this land of dismay where the dreams are crushed by the rocks Take me away to that place far away where Hope and Happiness do not mock Yes, it was meant to be the best thing that's ever happened Now, it's the worst, I know, I know it Yes, I can finally see my pale face in your mirror And it won't be long, before you show, before you show it Take me away from this land of dismay where the dreams are crushed by the rocks Take me away to that place far away where Hope and Happiness do not mock Take me away from this land of dismay where the dreams are crushed by the rocks Take me away to that place far away where Hope and Happiness do not mock Hope, let's try one more time to go where the wind blows Let's take it slow, you know, you know it Hope, will you please shine This is it, my final plea Please listen to me before you go, before you go away Take me away from this land of dismay where the dreams are crushed by the rocks Take me away to that place far away where Hope and Happiness do not mock Take me away from this land of dismay where the dreams are crushed by the rocks Take me away to that place far away where Hope and Happiness do not mock

Went down to the road Went down to the road yeah Gone down to find my baby Can't find my baby They took her away from me She said meet me there She said meet me there yeah No way I'd miss out on that Got my head all confused Where'd you go baby? We'd been at the river We'd been at the river yeah She was so wet I'll get you a towel babe Just stay right here Went down to the road Went down to the road yeah Gone down to find my baby Can't find my baby They took her away from me

Out the door Won't be back till four It's not to late to go and celebrate Can't find the way Follow that ray of light I see Let's go party I've fucked it again We all make mistakes I've lost it before Where's that stupid whore? Please don't come and see what's become of me There's no way to leave Fuck this party Drunk and alone Where's my phone? It really hurts I've been such a jerk Back to back I'm losing track No more party until next week I've fucked it again We all make mistakes I've lost it before Where's that stupid whore? Please don't come and see what's become of me There's no way to leave Fuck this party I've fucked it again We all make mistakes I've lost it before Where's that stupid whore? Please don't come and see what's become of me There's no way to leave Fuck this party

War Machine 03:34
Break it down They see a red light show Break it down They see a mad man go No time to think Won't sleep a wink Shut it down They're all in a row Shut it down Don't want the priest to know No one too keen They're a war machine

Said the old man at the end of days Fighting the machine Has left me bitter and emaciated If I had this time on Earth with you again Wish you could have been Strong enough to make it with me So here I sit again Waiting for the end Wishing you were here You were the best for me So here I sit again Fighting till the end Wishing you were here These are the end of days Said the young girl to the old grey man Why should I give you The time of day in this short life? 'cause you think you so much smarter than me Waving that degree But life experience is worth more than that So here I sit again Waiting for the end Wishing you were here You were the best for me So here I sit again Fighting till the end Wishing you were here These are the end of days When the end of days finally came No one came to see The old man in his wooden casket With many summers here come and gone Regret hung in the air For the old woman knew how the other felt So now I've come to see How fleeting life can be How can it be true How closely I resemble you Now I've come to see How fleeting life can be How can it be true How closely I resemble you So here I sit again Fighting till the end Wishing you were here These are the end of days So here I sit again Fighting till the end Wishing you were here These are the end of days
