5MAN LYRICS

1. So Many Wars, So Little Time

Dead eye kill shot.
Let the whole world freeze in time
And cast an eye on the embodiment of an assassin.
With no remorse for the trail of the dead
It almost makes one have to smile.
If you weren’t such a fucker hats would be tipping.

IN THE ALL IN ALL, YOU’RE MY ENEMY.
BUT WHEN THE CURTAIN FALLS IT WILL BE JUST ME.

Clouds of smoke and the crack of the crust.
Talons are gripping for strays.
Better clean up, critical times are crashing the party and this is not a game.
There is no joy in this dance until the final steps are taken.

IN THE ALL IN ALL
(This means war now)
YOU’RE MY ENEMY.

BUT WHEN THE CURTAIN FALLS
And this is over
IT WILL BE JUST ME.
VICTORY!

2. Romance For The Ages

Proven to bend the rain, 16 strikes to 27 stones.
What I could not float proves to bring out that red screen, there dare to dream.
Did I mean to look on a queen and crown myself.
How'd you go from pride and soft sides to gritted?
I pose: Though 'The Know' is the other hand of 'The Do' clapping for myself I jumped right into you.
Bearing close to damnation, I played my part.
Let's get unzipped and wash up.
By a warm fire I'd share a false sense of love.
Nestled in four letter sentiments.
Whispered in linen hints.
Sink this so far that it's a new high.
Bottle pour low most of what you call 'Sinner.'
Tribute. The rest to sparkle numb me.
So many halls, so many falls.
Skin is the liquor, the only thing we've eaten in days.
And these ARE the days; the best.
The rest may hinge, but let's just breathe.
Let's get unzipped and wash up.
By a warm fire I'd share a false sense of love.

3. Politics (A Love Story Though I Don’t Know Why)

Nestled up to the warmest fire beams the face that is less the liar.
Nodding yes with that noble smile, she’s so loyal.
And all the secrets you’d never dare, came out beneath her caressing stare.
You’ve found yourself in a home you never thought you’d know.
All around you there’s whispers of warning.
You start to doubt the ones that bleed like you.
Where have you gone to?
You just flash that badge.
Stronger now but it’s a lie, don’t ever say that I didn’t try.
Now you let her deep inside…it’s the beginning of the end.
SHE’S ON YOUR SIDE.
BUT WHY.
SHE'S ON YOUR SIDE.
And WHY would you care?
Drains the color from passions stone and reassures as he shifts the course,
“I've got a dream in my palm if you see it my way.
Everything that you need to be came, but only came AFTER me.
Pledge allegiance and we’ll say WE. It’s our secret.”
Welcome to slither, you’re losing your judgment.
You can’t tell in the heart of a lie.
The one we knew would have said, “Fuck you.” a long time ago but the talons grew into heart shaped wings and pretty things don’t suit your beholder.
HE’S ON YOUR SIDE.
BUT WHY.
HE'S ON YOUR SIDE.
It’s my side vs. your side
SHE’S ON YOUR SIDE.
BUT WHY.
HE'S ON YOUR SIDE.
It’s my side vs. your side.
This is what you wanted. Let’s get it started. Shed a tear for the broken hearted.
It’s my side vs. your side.
This is what you wanted. Let’s get it on. We’ll gnash the teeth and we’ll break the bone.
I am ready. This is just how you wanted it.
I am ready…but why would you care?

4. Role Play

“Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking…
Eyes to the front. Toes to the line. Let me give you a piece of your mind.
Nation, report to your station. Everyone here has a role and it’s time to go.
(Let’s go!)
My observation is that your elation should come from the draining of you for a rise in the price of gold.
So MOLD.
And HOLD.
Now’s not the time. Let’s keep order.
You really need not worry your pretty head, though I see the wheels turning.
Do not test this scheme.
I meant to say dream.
You may feel like you’re selling you soul but it’s all for the cause.
And when we’re done, you’ll say you had fun…or whatever the hell other lines I give you to say.
So MOLD.
And HOLD.
Now’s not the time. Let’s keep order.
You really need not worry your pretty head, though I see the wheels turning.
I’ve watched you for so long. How could you let yourself get in the way of such a beautiful dream?
I will make you beautiful.”

5. Some Heroes Are Born, Some Are Reluctantly Made

I reclaim all of our pain as my own so you can once again see the way to my warmth.
Yet as we sail, seas of ice shatter against our helm.
Breaking forward inch by inch, inch by bloody inch, towards our land of promise that I have not felt since we left shore.
We can’t see through this mist. We may be lost but look to me.
Just look to me.
YOU KNOW ME, I’M FINE,
BECAUSE WE NEED ME TO BE ALRIGHT.
I too feel this stinging grasp.
Before this discord becomes our melody we will pass thought the eye.
I know it’s foreign now, but we will smile again.
Through this fog I see who we are.
YOU KNOW ME, I’M FINE,
BECAUSE WE NEED ME TO BE ALRIGHT.
We can pick up these pieces if we try.
We can pick up these pieces, it’s our time.
When we pick up these pieces we may find that something’s missing... that’s just mine.
YOU KNOW ME, I’M FINE,
BECAUSE WE NEED ME TO BE ALRIGHT.
YOU KNOW ME, I’M FINE,
BUT WE MIGHT JUST BE BLIND.

6. We're In This Together Whether You Like It Or Not (A Mourners Petition)

In one sad breath you’ve said it all…
A piece that finally has a name.
This sigh has roots so deep that they run with Mothers veins.
Landlords of this burning house, I swear we’re never moving out.
We’ll leave the light on and pies upon the sill.
Misery and company: a relationship sewn before us, which makes us puppets in a play.
An though I’ve never seen our lines, we sing and dance a scripted life…
If we only knew the end.
NOBODY GETS AWAY.
NOBODY GETS AWAY THIS TIME.
STAND IN LINE AND DON’T FORGET TO SMILE.
I’m the crier, I’m the thorn.
With every spill of milk I’m torn in two.
I’m really not sure how I got to be this way…
Or why I love a sad parade. The pageantry washed in a rain.
I’ve dried all my clothes but I’m soaked down to the core.
Misery and company assure no matter where we aim pity, it’ll always lead you home.
NOBODY GETS AWAY.
NOBODY GETS AWAY THIS TIME.
STAND IN LINE AND DON’T FORGET TO SMILE.

7. Permanent Campaign

Borne of the same home and plate, we have come to the end of our once warm embrace.
I’ll cut you up.
Painted for war, the poison’s running its’ course.
We’ve got a strong arm and it’s grasping for throats.
The lions are eating while the dove is a ghost.
We’ve been drinking up all of the wine before hanging the host.
All this hate will crush us in our wave.
WE CAN’T STAND AGAINST OUR TIDE.
IT’S AMAZING WHAT WE CAN CREATE WHEN LEAVING ALL OUR LOVE BEHIND.
WE’LL BE TOGETHER WASHING AWAY.
We’ll never give in because there’s always more to win.
The death horse is marching and it’s wearing our face.
Pistol shots at the opera start the debate.
The choir is screaming for a blood red toast raised to all of the future martyrs lining the coast.
All this hate will crush us in our wave.
WE CAN’T STAND AGAINST OUR TIDE.
IT’S AMAZING WHAT WE CAN CREATE WHEN LEAVING ALL OUR LOVE BEHIND.
WE’LL BE TOGETHER WASHING AWAY.

Side by side here on the shore, there will always be more.
WE CAN’T STAND AGAINST OUR TIDE.
IT’S AMAZING WHAT WE CAN CREATE WHEN LEAVING ALL OUR LOVE BEHIND.
WE’LL BE TOGETHER WASHING AWAY.
