DESTROY THE RUNNER LYRICS

1. Crumbs For The Murder

Take this breath in my chest.
I crave death and nothing less.
Slit my throat 'cause I'm better off dead.
My life has been wasted.

Keep me around as if I had a purpose.
I'm speaking out and proving that your wrong.
The sweetest sound is when your voice is distant.
I'm wanting out if that means taking you on.

I've seen your breath written on these pages.
You have bled for animals in cages.
Was I given straw to build this house?
Tell me why the hell did my walls all fall down?

Keep me around as if I had a purpose.
I'm speaking out and proving that your wrong.
The sweetest sound is when your voice is distant
I'm wanting out if that means taking you on, and now I'm taking off your crown.

Take these hands and turn them into weapons.
Change these plans and make them into yours.
Take this man and turn his sight from demons.
All I am is wanting you more.

Now I see what's been hidden inside of me.
I'll never question you again.

2. Isabella's

Outside,
They hear a different song than inside.
What's in your heart?
You'll find that they are just waiting for you
This time to watch you fall.

[Chorus:]
If you're drawing lines you can get off our side.
We want to be wrong if what you say is right.
Down on you, Down on you! They'll never stop.
How can you? Now can you use what you've got?

A fire,
Is burning inside of you,
And they've tried to put you out.
You'll find that possibly maybe that you might die,
But not on your own.
But they will tell you that you're wrong.
If you're drawing lines you can get off our side.
We want to be wrong if what you say is right.
Down on you, Down on you! They'll never stop.
How can you? Now can you use what you've got?
Your blankets of "What if's?" there making us cold.
We've tasted life wasted and it's getting old.
"You'll never make it" ,at least we tried.
And If we make it, well, at least we tried.
We've tried
We've tried
We've tried
We've tried
You can not stop us.
This is who we are.
You can not stop us.
This is who we are.
If you're drawing lines you can get off our side.
We want to be wrong if what you say is right.
Down on you, Down on you! They'll never stop.
And how can you? Now can you use what you' have got?

3. Mr. And Mrs. Cuckoldom

Cut out a heart and then ran away with you.
Today I'll start and do the same to you.
I'll watch you leave.
I'm not what you need.

Everyone wants the same as I do.
As you wait and bleed, I am trying to forget you.
I'll watch you leave.
You'll watch me grieve.

Lie to me to make this better, and I won't leave.
I will stay, I have made grave with you.
We can sleep now. Entombed, we can sleep now.

So this happens once again to a child without sin.
Don't say, "This is love."
Just say, " This is greed."
We'll watch you leave.

We won't give up this time.
We won't give up.
We'll give our all this time.
We'll give our all.

4. Bag Of Marbles

Give me one reason and I'll give you more.
It seems I'm not what she was looking for.
I was waiting for something.
And I found out that it's nothing.

[Chorus:]
Never act that way (and then let's talk about growing old)
Never say those things boy (and forget all that you know)
You will love this pain (you've got nowhere to go), and you will play her games.
And do what you're told

I'll be happy with or without you.
You make your choices and become what you choose.
Break an organ that's mended, and fake who your in love with.

Never act that way (and then let's talk about growing old)
Never say those things boy (and forget all that you know)
You will love this pain (you've got nowhere to go), and you will play her games.
And do what you're told

Tell me, "That distance is why we fight."
And though your not like other guys, everything I say is right.
Tell me, "I envy and hate your God."
Life is a meaningless song.
Hope and true love all have gone away.

I'll never act that way (and then let's talk about growing old)
I'll never play your games girl (I am letting go).
You're not what I need (now I really see), and you are what I leave.
I have never felt this free

5. I, Lucifer

I carved you picture into my skin.
I showedeveryone that I never sin.
Just 'cause I bleed like you
I am not aman.
I am not of this world
And you must understand that.

I have apredestined plan,
And I walk better than you.
I preach what I practice,
And I will practice on you.

Carved your holy name inside my skin,
I showed everyone I'm not a trend.
I am a zombie,
I'd be better offdead.
Speak of angels,
But host demons instead and...

I am prayingfor a prayer that's true.
I am preying on you.
I talk aboutwalking,
And I try to walk upon you.

When I look at all of you I see,
I seethe weak.
I'm a wolf among the lost sheep.
When I look at all of you I see,
I see the weak.
I'm a wolf among the lost sheep.

I will tell them thescriptures.
I will profit from your name.
I will sell them thescriptures,
and I will pocket your fame.
I magnify splinters
Whiletrees grow from my eyes.
I am posing for pictures.
I am feasting on bread and your wine.

6. It's Always Cold In Paris

Death to my will.
Oh, can I fill this hole in my heart?
What will ever fill?
I've fallen way to far.
I wanted only you.

Tell me what we are
When I'm hurting you,
Your hurting me,
And whyare we in love?
Nothing is ever new and we both can see that.

Death toyour will.
Oh, can I fill this hole in your heart?
Swallow me as a pill
And stand with me in the dark.
Oh, I wanted only you.

Winter haslasted to long.
Oh, it's always cold here.
We can't see right or seewrong.
Oh, it always snows, dear.
Winter has lasted to long.
Oh, it'salways cold here.
We can't see right or see wrong.
Oh, it's always cold,my dear.

Tell me what we are
When I'm hurting you,
Your hurting me,
And whyare we in love?
Nothing is ever new and we both can see that.

With crumbling, ripping, and failing,
You'd think that we'dget the point.
God and the devil are saying,
"The well has rejectedyour coins."

7. A Pathetic Psalm

Another second wasted or is it another year?
We've tried hard not to face it.
Erase a thought so clear.

A we've tried to cover our eyes and ears,
(But we can see with our hearts,)
And it's the greatest view from here.

[Chorus:]
Give them your eyes.
(They are no longer invisible.)
Give them your eyes.
(They are no longer invisible.)

Comfortable, we are so blind.

The vision lives on inside this wasted time,
And the dream is growing.
The time that is gone we've tasted,
But now we crave a different song.

Give them your eyes.
(They are no longer invisible.)
Give them your eyes.
(They are no longer invisible.)

And we all know,
And we all know and do nothing about it.
And we all know,
We all know and do nothing do nothing.
We do nothing about them.

And if it was all turned around.
What do you see now?
All of their many tears could drowned
Apathy that' is found in you.
In you
In you
In you

Give them your eyes.
(They are no longer invisible.)
Give them your eyes.
(They are no longer invisible.)

We all know,
We all know and do nothing about it.
We all know,
We all know and do nothing do nothing.
We do nothing about it.

8. Luxuria

He was given a thorn in his side.
Was I given the same?
Around everycorner in this life
Lies are whispering.
I follow what they say.

As demons hide,
I'll curse your name,
And I'll say it to your face.
WhenI've died and touched the flame,
I'll know who I should blame.

Theblankets of this leave me cold.
Curse my thoughts and my eyes.
Lookingback at all of this I know
Maybe I should of cried.
Maybe I don'tmind.

As demons hide,
I'll curse your name,
And I'll say it to your face.
WhenI've died and touched the flame,
I'll know who I should blame.

You've got today,
But you always say
That you'll change tomorrow.
Good intentions fade
When you sit and say
that you'll change tomorrow.

We have stolen blood running through
Our veins like a cancer.
We havefound a cure and it's you,
And we have found the answer.

As demons lie,
I speak your name,
And I'll say it to your face.
When I die,
I'll saywith a smile
That you are the one to blame.

9. On Falling Leaf

I watch him cry,
And hold onto his legs as a mother waits outside forher son to come.
I've seen to much.
I haven't seen enough.
You haven'tseen enough until you have seen a family breaking up.

(no one..)
It'slike nothing that you've felt before.
(No one should ever feel like...)
(like this)
I'll cry, but tears won't lock the doors.
(no one...)
It'slike throwing away all of those years.
(no one should ever live likethis.)

I'll cry,
But my tears won't keep you here,
Or keep us together.
Fathers and Mothers,
Know that your sons and your daughters
Might walk a road that is harder
Because of the choices you've made
Or the onesthat you make.
We have lived with your blood on our hands.
What we'vebeen waiting for now...
Now it's our chance.

We will stand,
Sisters andbrothers,
From broken homes and broken lovers.
We will fight forsomething true,
And we will stand for something true.

(no one..)
It'slike nothing that you've felt before.
(no one should ever feel like...)
(like this)
I'll cry, but tears won't lock the doors.
(no one...)
It'slike throwing away all of those years.
(no one should ever live likethis.)

Where others havefailed,
we will make it.
Where families derail,
We won't lose track.
We'll start a trail,
And our kin will take it.
We'll fight tooth andnail when lies attack.

Falling Leaf.

10. A Novel Of War

They fight and it never seems like it ends.
"Are you too busytonight?"
When all of your children cry,
"Oh God, when will it end!?"

Will we ever see the day
The world stands as one?
Love and peace arehidden
Somewhere under this sun.
We are on our knees and
Praying to endthis war.
Time will already murder
What they are fighting for.

Justifybelief in a God that's left you behind,
But we're still hoping tonight
That our prayers and our wishes,
Find a way through their hearts.

Will we ever see the day
The world stands as one?
Love and peace arehidden
Somewhere under this sun.
We are on our knees and
Praying to endthis war.
Time will already murder
What they are fighting for.

All of this time their burning down bridges.
All of this time warsfought from religions.
All of this time spent burning the witches.
All of this time they're fighting for riches.
All of this time theirbreaking the stitches
All of this time their dying in ditches.
All of this time...

11. A Mountain So Big, A Question So Small

Another child is born into this pain,
And the unfortunate die slow.

Who do we blame?
Give our fingers a place to go.
Give us a name that youknow.
They know.
We all know.

A God we can't see
(is barking orders)
A thought and a dream
(is more as it seems)
As children play in thestreet
(children are also crying)
As they choose what to eat
(childrenare also dying)

One question started off,
And now there is more.
Areanswers found in hats of thorns?
What is the point?
He's given us all a choice.
We'll flip a coin,
And rejoice, rejoice,
We rejoice!

Thedrowning are asking
"Who'll stop the rain?
Have the angels all goneaway?"
The suffering's not passing.
"Who will stop the pain?"

A God we can't see
(is barking orders)
A thought and a dream
(is more as it seems)
As children play in thestreet
(children are also crying)
As they choose what to eat
(childrenare also dying)
