ALL THAT REMAINS LYRICS

1. Safe House

Before you knew which house it was I knew where you'd come in
Welcome I've been waiting
To think you'd find your victim here will be your fatal sin
Welcome I've been waiting
The lights were out the car was gone the door was left unlocked
You've already been caught
The path was laid the rope was fresh and every gun was cocked
You've already been caught

Welcome to my safe house
Do you feel safe now
Semi automatic I don't panic when it goes down
Welcome to my safe house
Do you feel safe now
Aka your gods away there's no one you can call now
Do you feel safe now
Do you feel safe now
Do you feel safe now
Do you feel safe now

The kitchen then the hall there was no other path to take
You don't know its too late
One more room to guide you through then show you your mistake
You don't know its too late
The moment I'm behind you and you know what its about
And you're forsaken now
By the time you think to run you're starting to bleed out
And did not let me down

Welcome to my safe house
Do you feel safe now
Semi automatic I don't panic when it goes down
Welcome to my safe house
Do you feel safe now
Aka your gods away there's no one you can call now
Do you feel safe now
Do you feel safe now
Do you feel safe now
Do you feel safe now

Welcome to my safe house
Do you feel safe now
Semi automatic I don't panic when it goes down
Welcome to my safe house
Do you feel safe now
Aka your gods away there's no one you can call now
Do you feel safe now

Welcome

2. Madness

History repeats itself
Over and over again and again
Why should we escape ourselves
We are who we are in the end in the end

Over and over again
Over and over again

This is madness madness
You know that this is madness madness
You know that this is never changing
Its always been this way
Consuming madness madness

Enemies who once were friends
Around and around still we know how it ends
I can't believe how sickening
All the love lost we can't even pretend

Over and over again
Over and over again

This is madness madness
You know that this is madness madness
You know that this is never changing
Its always been this way
Consuming madness madness

This is madness madness
You know that this is madness madness
You know that this is never changing
Its always been this way
Consuming madness madness

3. Nothing I Can Do

Don't waste this temptation
Caress this last portation
Consuming, you soothe me
Your vial moves right through me
You made me look good, doesn't get any better
You're going out then let's go out together

No, there's nothing I can do
No, there's nothing I can do to make you stay
No, there's nothing I can do
But I came here anyway
No, there's nothing I can do
No, there's nothing I can do to make you stay
No, there's nothing I can do
But I came here anyway

You thought you were even
But no one ever leaves me
You came back to taste me
Lost in their hunger lately
If you need me right now then they need a future
I'll let you use me if you be my user

No, there's nothing I can do
No, there's nothing I can do to make you stay
No, there's nothing I can do
But I came here anyway
No, there's nothing I can do
No, there's nothing I can do to make you stay
No, there's nothing I can do
But I came here anyway

But I came here anyway
But I came here anyway

No, there's nothing I can do
No, there's nothing I can do to make you stay
No, there's nothing I can do
But I came here anyway
No, there's nothing I can do
No, there's nothing I can do to make you stay
No, there's nothing I can do
But I came here anyway

4. If I'm Honest

You'll probably see this in the headlines
And let me tell you, almost all of it's true
But we both know that I'm dead right
And I don't know what else you want me to do
I've been saying this a long time
Not a lot of people hear what I say
So when you see it in the headlines
Maybe then you'll see it's always this way

They'll try to twist and turn and try to drown me out
But that won't change my mind

If I'm honest, I'm not afraid to die
Not afraid to live, not afraid to try
If I'm honest, you couldn't change my mind
Couldn't break me down
So don't waste your time
If I'm honest, I'll-I'll be alright

You can put me in the spotlight
And the world will try to pull me one way
But it's gonna be a long night
I've been around the block and I know this game
I won't wait until it feels right
'Cause the truth is something long overdue
You could put me in the spotlight
Maybe then my words would finally break through

They'll try to twist and turn and try to drown me out
But that won't change my mind

If I'm honest, I'm not afraid to die
Not afraid to live, not afraid to try
If I'm honest, you couldn't change my mind
Couldn't break me down
So don't waste your time
If I'm honest, I'll-I'll be alright

They'll try to twist and turn and try to drown me out
But that won't change my mind

If I'm honest, I'm not afraid to die
Not afraid to live, not afraid to try
If I'm honest, you couldn't change my mind
Couldn't break me down
So don't waste your time
If I'm honest, I'll-I'll be alright
I'll-I'll be alright

5. Halo

There is no judgement day
No jury to abide
Our lives are worlds away
The distance makes you blind

So you think you know the way that I should live my life
I know a better way I swear I know a better way
I'll smash your crown before I give you power to decide
I know a better way I swear I know a better way

You don't get to say what I'm made of
You don't give me a halo
Don't give me a halo

There is no sacred way
No rules to live my life
No man or deity
Can tell me wrong from right

So you think you know the way that I should live my life
I know a better way I swear I know a better way
I'll smash your crown before I give you power to decide
I know a better way I swear I know a better way

You don't get to say what I'm made of
You don't give me a halo
Don't give me a halo

You don't
You don't

You don't get to say what I'm made of
You don't give me a halo
Don't give me a halo
You don't get to say what I'm made of
You don't give me a halo
Don't give me a halo

6. Louder

You're not as smart as you think you are
Spin doctor shit talker
I make the rules you ain't got nothing on me
The clever line only gets you this far
Spin doctor shit talker
Don't think your straw man means a damn thing to me

You're loud
You're loud
I'm louder
You're weak
I'm power
Go ahead and try to paint me red
'Cause I'm like no one that you've ever met
You're loud
You're loud
I'm louder

The truth is loud no matter where you hide
Sleep walker fear monger
I make the rules you ain't got nothing on me
You may not hear me but you will in time
Sleep walker fear monger
Don't think your straw man means a damn thing to me

You're loud
You're loud
I'm louder
You're weak
I'm power
Go ahead and try to paint me red
'Cause I'm like no one that you've ever met
You're loud
You're loud
I'm louder

You're loud
You're loud

You're loud
You're loud
I'm louder
You're weak
I'm power
Go ahead and try to paint me red
'Cause I'm like no one that you've ever met
You're loud
You're loud
I'm louder

You're loud
You're loud

7. River City

All the lights out in Rivercity
All the phone lines are dark and gritty
Every half home is up late waiting
I can't leave here til you come get me

I keep picking up the line
To hear you on the other side
Can you hear me?
Every time you say goodbye
I'm left here waiting for a sign
Can you hear me?
Hear me, hear me, hear me

No, can't tell you to be safe
Can't tell you to be strong
Can't tell you that I love you
So don't put down the phone
Too far away to hold you
Too close to let you go
But I can't fight this for you
So don't put down the phone

Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone

All the ghosts live in Rivercity
Check my pulse, is my heart still beating?
Focus hard on your face, it's fading
I can't leave here til you come get me

I keep picking up the line
To hear you on the other side
Can you hear me?
Every time you say goodbye
I'm left here waiting for a sign
Can you hear me?
Hear me, hear me, hear me

No, can't tell you to be safe
Can't tell you to be strong
Can't tell you that I love you
So don't put down the phone
Too far away to hold you
Too close to let you go
But I can't fight this for you
So don't put down the phone

Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone

Hear me, hear me, hear me

No, can't tell you to be safe
Can't tell you to be strong
Can't tell you that I love you
So don't put down the phone
Too far away to hold you
Too close to let you go
But I can't fight this for you
So don't put down the phone

Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone

8. Open Grave

It's not my suffering
It's not my wound to cover
I'm dying watching you bleed
Why can't I make this better
Face down, I need some water
There's nothing I can do
To make you stronger

How long will we pray to silence?
How long?
How long will we pray to silence?
How long?

Don't give up, I've heard you say
Over and over from an open grave
Eviscerated by your misery
I watched you rot inside an open grave

You're blade between my ribs
It never lets me forget
Fight with every breath
To keep the anger in
Ripped out
Slave of compassion
Stitch by stitch
You just let it happen

How long will we pray to silence?
How long?

Don't give up, I've heard you say
Over and over from an open grave
Eviscerated by your misery
I watched you rot inside an open grave

It's not my suffering
It's not my wound to cover
I'm dying watching you bleed
Why can't I make this better
Ripped out
Slave of compassion
Stitch by stitch
You just let it happen

Don't give up, I've heard you say
Over and over from an open grave
Eviscerated by your misery
I watched you rot inside an open grave
Eviscerated by your misery
I watched you rot inside an open grave

9. Far From Home

Some days I like the ocean
It never seems to end
So help me through the motions
Until I see you again
Come be by my side
Fix this lonely night

You may be far away
But you're never far from home
No matter where I go
You may be far away
But you're never far from home
No, you're never far from home

When my voice is shaking
You are my steady hand
When I think I can't go on
You showed me that I can
Some times I forget
That you ever left

You may be far away
But you're never far from home
No matter where I go

You may be far away
But you're never far from home
No matter where I go
You may be far away
But you're never far from home
No, you're never far from home

Mom said I'm just like you
Little things you used to do
I like to think the same
Running from memories
Lessons you left with me
You teach me everyday

You may be far away
But you're never far from home
No matter where I go
You may be far away
But you're never far from home
No, you're never far from home
You may be far away
But you're never far from home
No matter where I go
You may be far away
But you're never far from home
No, you're never far from home

10. Trust And Believe

Trust and believe my intentions are pure
As pure as the poison I put in the cure
Trust and believe that I will provide
Provide all your demons with places to hide

Be careful what you wish for
(Careful what you wish for)
(Careful what you wish for)

All through the night and over the screams
Trust and believe
All through the night, your secrets we'll keep
Trust and believe

Trust and believe that your family is safe
Safe through the eyes that know where you sleep
Trust and believe that I know what's right
Right to take yours and then they get mine

Be careful what you wish for
(Careful what you wish for)
(Careful what you wish for)

All through the night and over the screams
Trust and believe
All through the night, your secrets we'll keep
Trust and believe

All through the night and over the screams
Trust and believe
All through the night, your secrets we'll keep
Trust and believe

Trust and believe (Trust and believe)

11. Back To You

It's okay to have a bad year
As long as we don't let it win
It's okay if you don't see clear
As long as you remember that
Every day that I'm with you
Is another chance to get it right
I can say that I love you
Even when we fight
'Cause...

First times don't last
But they light the path right back to you
Right back to you
Bad days will pass
'Cause they're on the path right back to you
Right back to you

It took time for me to hear you
'Cause all I wanted was to say I'm right
And it took time for me to see through
Every way that you could say goodbye
And I don't think there was another way
For me to understand
And I'm sorry that I took so long
And now will you take my hand
Because...

First times don't last
But they light the path right back to you
Right back to you
Bad days will pass
'Cause they're on the path right back to you
Right back to you

The first time you left
I just had to wait
I knew you'd come back
'Cause you just felt like fate
You just felt like fate

First times don't last
But they light the path right back to you
Right back to you
Bad days will pass
'Cause they're on the path right back to you
Right back to you
Right back to you

12. Never Sorry

You can zone me shut
Or cut out my tongue
But you can't unhear me now
Neck deep in concrete
You can bury me
But you'll never drown me out

Something they can't see
See how you fear me
I'm never sorry!

Scream
Repeat after me
I'm never sorry, I'm never sorry
Scream
Repeat after me
I'm never sorry, I'm never sorry

I will trip that line
I'll be crucified
You can hang me upside down
In your righteous purge
I will re-emerge
Still I turn this world around

Something they can't see
See how you fear me
I'm never sorry!

Scream
Repeat after me
I'm never sorry, I'm never sorry
Scream
Repeat after me
I'm never sorry, I'm never sorry

Scream
Repeat after me
I'm never sorry, I'm never sorry
Scream
Repeat after me
I'm never sorry
Scream
Repeat after me
I'm never sorry, I'm never sorry
Scream
Repeat after me
I'm never sorry, I'm never sorry

I'm never sorry!
I'm never sorry!
I'm never sorry!
I'm never sorry!

13. The Thunder Rolls

[originally by Garth Brooks]

Three thirty in the morning
Not a soul in sight
The city's looking like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night
Raindrops on the windshield
There's a storm moving in
He's heading back from somewhere
That he never should have been

And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

Every light is burning
In a house across town
She's pacing by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown
Asking for miracle
Hoping she's not right
Praying it's the weather
That's kept him out all night

And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightning strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She's waiting by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful he's alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightning flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows

And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightning strikes
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls

She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He won't do this again
Because tonight will be the last time
She'll wonder where he's been
