FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH LYRICS

1. Trouble

I don't look for trouble, trouble looks for me
That's how it's always been, that's how it's gonna be
I'm looking down on you, you're looking up to me
I never saw you coming, you never saw me

I can't explain who I am

'Cause there's no excuses, this is who I'm meant to be
There's no regrets, I don't care if you believe
There's no excuses, this is who I choose to be
I don't look for trouble, trouble looks for me!

Does it confuse you? I fucking used you
I got just what I want and what I wanna do
You won't destroy me, you just annoy me
I'm sitting here on top, so fuck your trophy!

I can't explain how I am

'Cause there's no excuses, this is who I'm meant to be
There's no regrets, I don't care if you believe
There's no excuses, this is who I choose to be
I don't look for trouble, trouble looks for me!

Get some!

'Cause there's no excuses, this is who I'm meant to be
There's no regrets, I don't care if you believe
There's no excuses, this is who I choose to be
I don't look for trouble, trouble looks for me!
Trouble looks for me!

2. Fake

This is the end, I can't take anymore
This is where I'm fuckin' drawing the line
You talk a great game, trying to make a big name
Soon you're gonna run out of time
I've got news for you, I got nothing to lose
If you were smart you'd simply run and you'd hide
You're such a dumb punk, such a fuckin' weak chump
Don't have the balls to look me dead in the eyes

Boom!

You're a... you're a... you're a...

You're a fake mother fucker, I hate you mother fucker
I'll break you mother fucker, you're mine
You're a joke mother fucker, you gloat but you're a sucker
Such a fuckin' waste of my time
You smile and wave with your borrowed fame
But everybody sees through the lies
You're a fake mother fucker, you're dated mother fucker
And you're never gonna get what is mine

Fake!
You're a fuckin' fake

What's in a name bitch, you truly make me so sick
Think about the shit that you say
You'll wish you never crossed me, you had me then you lost me
You're losing all your bark when you beg
You've got a big mouth, makes me want to tear it out
Really don't have nothing to say
I'm not your scapegoat, ram it down your damn throat
For me it's just another day!

You're a... you're a... you're a...

You're a fake mother fucker, I hate you mother fucker
I'll break you mother fucker, you're mine
You're a joke mother fucker, you gloat but you're a sucker
Such a fuckin' waste of my time
You smile and wave with your borrowed fame
But everybody sees through the lies
You're a fake mother fucker, you're dated mother fucker
And you're never gonna get what is mine

Fake!
You're such a... you're such a...
You're such a... you're such a fake
You're a fuckin' fake
You're such a fuckin' fake
You're just a fake fake fake fake

You're a fake mother fucker, I hate you mother fucker
I'll break you mother fucker, you're mine
You're a joke mother fucker, you gloat but you're a sucker
Such a fuckin' waste of my time
You smile and wave with your borrowed fame
But everybody sees through the lies
You're a fake mother fucker, you're dated mother fucker
And you're never gonna get what is mine

Fake!
You're a fuckin' fake
You're such a fuckin' fake
You're just a fake fake fake fake
You're such a fuckin' fake!

3. Top of the World

I'm tired of bleeding for the ones that I love
Look to the heavens but there's no one above
One day you need me, the other you hate
We've all got problems, I can fucking relate

I've tried my best to be humble
I've tried so hard to explain
I know that nothing is easy
(Over and over)
I know that all of it's my fault
I bring you nothing but pain
Look at the way that you treat me
That's why I'm insane

Top of the world
Living the dream, wake me up, wake me up when it's over
Top of the world
Living the dream, wake me up, wake me up when it's over

I'm sick of burning for the ones I despise
Have you mistaken me for some other guy
One day you love me, the other you run
My life's a comedy, well isn't this fun?

I've tried my best to be humble
I've tried so hard to explain
I know that nothing is easy
(Over and over)
I know that all of it's my fault
I bring you nothing but pain
Look at the way that you treat me
That's why I'm insane

Top of the world
Living the dream, wake me up, wake me up when it's over
Top of the world
Living the dream, wake me up, wake me up when it's over

You know I'm living it up
Never giving a fuck
I heard you're down on your luck
I-I just wanna take it
Living it up
Never giving a fuck
Never giving it up
I-I just wanna break it down

Top of the world
Living the dream, wake me up, wake me up when it's over
Top of the world
Living the dream, wake me up, wake me up when it's over
Top of the world
Living the dream, wake me up, wake me up when it's over
Top of the world
Living the dream, wake me up, wake me up when it's over

4. Sham Pain

I never cared about the money, never really needed fame
You'd think it would have changed me but I've always been the same
My label tried to sue me, TMZ tried to screw me
Blabbermouth can fuckin' suck it 'cause they never fuckin' knew me

Everybody seems like they're waiting for me to die
Talk shit behind my back, can't look me in the eye
They say I'm overrated, that I should've already faded
Gave a shit about it all because I love to be so hated

All in all it's a good life
I got what I want
I can't complain (I can't complain)
I'm living the good life
A toast to you now
It's all sham pain (it's all sham pain)

I barely get to eat and when I finally get to sleep
I get drug out of bed for another meet and greet
I shake the hand of every fan, put on a happy face
Spread so fuckin' thin I'm all over the place
I hate riding on the bus, I hate flying on the planes
Sedate myself just to kill the pain
I have no life, forgot the hope
The whole thing's turned into one big joke

All in all it's a good life
I got what I want
I can't complain (I can't complain)
I'm living the good life
A toast to you now
It's all sham pain (it's all sham pain)

I mean no disrespect but I ain't picking up the check
Taking selfies on your phone while you're breathing down my neck
It's getting pretty fuckin' old, and I'm almost nearly done
I'm glad that you were happy as you talk to number one

I'm living the good life, a toast to you now, it's all sham pain

All in all it's a good life
I got what I want
I can't complain (I can't complain)
I'm living the good life
A toast to you now
It's all sham pain (it's all sham pain)

5. Blue on Black

[originally by Kenny Wayne Shepherd]

Night falls and I'm alone
Skin, yeah, chilled me to the bone
You turned and you ran, oh yeah
Oh slipped right from my hands

Yeah

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's like blue on black

Blind, oh, but now I see
Truth, lies and in between
Wrong can't be undone, oh no
Well it slipped from the tip of your tongue

Yeah

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's blue on black

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's blue on black
Yeah, blue on black
Yeah, it's blue on black
Yeah, blue on black

6. Fire in the Hole

I have a knife in my heart, I could never explain
Cloned from a killer, I crawled out the drain
Dark from the start, there's a short in my brain
To some it may hurt but to me it's just pain

Regret it? Never...
Forget it, this ain't a game
Ain't gonna talk it, I ain't ashamed (I ain't ashamed)
I'm gonna walk it, I'll never be tamed

Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Burn all the bridges then fire in the hole

Ugly I can be, what you know about me?
I'm a pirate and a thief and you'll never fucking see
There comes a point in time, put it all out on the line
I'm gonna get mine (mine), I come to take mine

Regret it? Never...
Forget it, this ain't a game
Ain't gonna talk it, I ain't ashamed (I ain't ashamed)
I'm gonna walk it, I'll never be tamed

Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Burn all the bridges then fire in the hole
Burn all the bridges then fire in the hole

You live - die
That's - life
You live - die
That's - life

Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa

Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Whoa, whoa
Open windows, closing doors
God can't help us anymore
Souls forever come and go
Burn all the bridges then fire in the hole
Burn all the bridges then fire in the hole

7. I Refuse

I don't wanna die alone
I don't wanna live forsaken
I refuse to let this go
Because my soul is breaking

I don't wanna let you know
That my heart is just so jaded
I refuse to let it show
I refuse to let it go

Wake me up when this is over
I'm tired of living life like it's a dream
Please wake me up when it's all over
I'm tired of living right here in between
I refuse

I've always walked alone
I chose the path less taken
I refuse to let you win
Life's a bitch and I've been shaken

It's not a joke at all
Inside my spirit's fading
I refuse to take the fall
'Cause no one cares at all

Wake me up when this is over
I'm tired of living life like it's a dream
Please wake me up when it's all over
I'm tired of living right here in between
I refuse

'Cause at the end of the day I'm not you
I refuse

Wake me up when this is over
I'm tired of living life like it's a dream
Please wake me up when it's all over
I'm tired of living right here in between
Wake me up when this is over
I'm tired of living life like it's a dream
Please wake me up when it's all over
I'm tired of living right here in between

I refuse

8. It Doesn't Matter

I've wasted a lot of time and effort on motherfuckers like you
Now it's my turn
1 2 3, fuck you!
Fuck you!

You can run away from anything that you have ever done
You're a victim to the system, you're a knife and I'm a gun
You want to be a martyr but you can not take the pain
You're a voice without an echo, you're a drop and I'm the rain
You want me to just turn the other cheek
Want me to admit that I am weak
Want me to submit? That ain't me, that ain't me

You're so self righteous
And you're never going to change
You're sick and spineless
You're the fake and I'm the fame

You can't convince me life is fair
'Cause you were never even there
In the end it doesn't matter, matter at all
That's why I never really cared
'Cause I was never really scared
In the end it doesn't matter, matter, matter, no!

I want to run away from everything I've ever said
It's hard to really care when everything I love is dead
Can't take away a single thing that I have ever done
I'm learning from the burden and that's just half the fun

You want me to just turn the other cheek
Want me to admit that I am weak
Want to wear the crown? Learn to bleed, learn to bleed

You're so self righteous
And you're never going to change
You're dead and lifeless
You're a pawn within the game

You can't convince me life is fair
'Cause you were never even there
In the end it doesn't matter, matter at all
That's why I never really cared
'Cause I was never really scared
In the end it doesn't matter, matter, matter, no!

Go!

You can't convince me life is fair
'Cause you were never even there
In the end it doesn't matter, matter at all
That's why I never really cared
'Cause I was never really scared
In the end it doesn't matter, matter, matter

9. When the Seasons Change

There's a light in you
That tears me down to nothing
There's an angel in your eyes
There's a hope inside
That you can make it better
You see right through my disguise

When it rains it pours
And everybody stumbles
I won't let them bring you down

I won't let you down
When the seasons change
I won't go down
I'll fight through the pain
I'll be there right by your side
I'll never let them bring you down
When the seasons change

There's a hope in me
That I will die for something
Was there fire in my eyes
All this pain inside
Will it be this way forever
I can run but I can't hide

When it rains it pours
And everybody stumbles
I won't let them bring me down

I won't let you down
When the seasons change
I won't go down
I'll fight through the pain
I'll be there right by your side
I'll never let them bring you down
When the seasons change

When the seasons change
And we're in for colder weather
Look for me on the divide

I won't let you down
When the seasons change
I won't go down
I'll fight through the pain
I'll be there right by your side
I'll never let them bring you down
I won't let you down
When the seasons change

10. Stuck in My Ways

All the shades of gray that loom inside me
No one's ever home and there's no one around me
Such a perfect waste this soul behind me
No one really knows what truly drives me

I know what I've done wrong
I knew it all along
I can't let it go, let it go, let it go

Run away, run away
Look away, look away
I see it inside you
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
Run away, run away
Get away, get away
Leave me behind you
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways

All the shades of red that have designed me
All the hell I've seen, it still confines me
All the pain I've felt, it's still inside me
All the rage I have, it still completes me

I know what I've done wrong
I knew it all along
I can't let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go

Run away, run away
Look away, look away
I see it inside you
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
Run away, run away
Get away, get away
Leave me behind you
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
Stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways

Just run away, run away
Look away, look away
I see it inside you
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
Run away, run away
Get away, get away
Leave me behind you
I'm stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways
Stuck in my ways, stuck in my ways

11. Rock Bottom

I ain't your bitch, I ain't your boy
I ain't no god damn motherfucking toy
I'm not dead, I'm still alive
You don't like it, you can go ahead and die

Rock bottom
I got nothing left to hide
Rock bottom
I got nothing left but pride
Rock bottom
Nothing left to say
Rock bottom
Don't bring that shit to me
Rock bottom

You're such a punk, you'll never see
What it's like to be a man like me
I refuse to be your kind
Have you lost your god damn motherfucking mind?

Rock bottom
I got nothing left to hide
Rock bottom
I got nothing left but pride
Rock bottom
Nothing left to say
Rock bottom
Don't bring that shit to me
Rock bottom
Rock bottom

Do you like blood? Cause I like mine
When you're not looking I'll be standing right behind
Can you taste blood? Cause I taste mine
You want the pain? Well I'm your motherfucking guy

I hit rock bottom
I got nothing left to hide
Rock bottom
I got nothing left but pride
Rock bottom
Nothing left to say
Rock bottom
Don't bring that shit to me
Rock bottom
Rock bottom

12. Gone Away

[originally by The Offspring]

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can't deal, it's so unfair

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it feels
Yeah, it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you've gone away

Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
Black roses and Hail Marys
I can't bring back what's taken from me

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
Oh please let me trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah, it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
Gone away
Gone away
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, yeah ooh ooh

I reach to the sky
And call out your name
Oh please let me trade
I would

And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven is so far away

And it feels
Yeah it feels like
Heaven's so far away
And it stings
Yeah, it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away
Gone away
Gone away
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, yeah ooh ooh
Yeah ooh, yeah ooh ooh

And it feels
And it feels like
The world is so cold
Now that you've gone away

13. Bloody

I'm staring at the photographs
That used to make me smile
Now all they bring is rage
Flipping through the albums
We made for one another
I'm tearing out that page

I love to hate you
I hate to love you
How did heaven turn to hell?

I can't blame you for leaving me
I took more from you than I could give away
You can't blame me for turning face
Because everything became so bloody

Does it have to burn
Does it have to sting
When we say goodbye
Do you ever stop to think about
What you've done to me
'Cause I'm so bloody, bloody, bloody
'Cause I'm so bloody, bloody, bloody

I hate to love you
I love to hate you
I will never wish you well

I can't blame you for leaving me
I took more from you than I could give away
You can't blame me for turning face
Because everything became so bloody, bloody
Bloody, bloody yeah

The pain we shared, the laughs and cries
All the evil lullabies
It all went up in flames

I can't blame you for leaving me
I took more from you than I could give away
You can't blame me for turning face
Because everything became so bloody, bloody
Because everything became so bloody, bloody
Bloody, bloody

14. Will the Sun Ever Rise

I take one step forward and two steps back
It's always been like that, it shouldn't be like that
I'm trying to overcome myself
Trying to work around this hell
Two steps forward and three steps back
Why is life like that? Why am I like that?
I'm trying to understand myself
Trying to fight through this hell

Why can't I see this clearly? (See this clearly)
Why can't I?

Hey hey you, are you living the dream?
If you've seen what I've seen, nothing is clean
Hey hey you, while I'm rolling the dice
I'm paying the price, I've been walking on ice
Hey hey you, just get outta my way
At the end of the day, you've got nothing to say
Hey hey you, see the look in my eyes
Will the sun ever rise, will the sun ever rise?

Will the sun ever rise again?

All the days gone by and I can't get 'em back
What was my name now, what is my name now?
Trying to rise above myself
Trying to look beyond this hell
Seems like I got way off track
No one ever found me, no one unbound me
They wonder why I hate myself
Surrounded by a living hell

Why can't I see this clearly? (See this clearly)
Why can't I?

Hey hey you, are you living the dream?
If you've seen what I've seen, nothing is clean
Hey hey you, while I'm rolling the dice
I'm paying the price, I've been walking on ice
Hey hey you, just get outta my way
At the end of the day, you've got nothing to say
Hey hey you, see the look in my eyes
Will the sun ever rise, will the sun ever rise?

Will the sun ever rise?
Will the sun ever rise?
Will the sun ever rise, will the sun ever rise?
Will the sun ever rise?

Hey hey you, are you living the dream?
If you've seen what I've seen, nothing is clean
Hey hey you, while I'm rolling the dice
I've been paying the price, I've been walking on ice
Hey hey you, just get outta my way
At the end of the day, you've got nothing to say
Hey hey you, see the look in my eyes
Will the sun ever rise, will the sun ever rise?

Will the sun ever rise?
Will the sun ever rise?
Will the sun ever rise?
No!

15. Bad Seed

I didn't give up the fight
I gave up on what's right
Everything I should've believed
I don't care about the warnings
Just who I've become
You swore that I wouldn't succeed

I know that you're wrong
Insanity embraces me
It's what I chose and it's what I believe
I still stand here strong

I won't deny, deny
The sun never shines
It always rains on me
I can't deny, deny
That I haven't tried
No honor amongst us thieves
Inside, inside
I try to survive
Strangled by the waste
You can't deny, deny
That I never tried
It's always been on me

I'm just a bad seed
I'm just a bad seed
I'm just a bad seed

I gave up on the light
I gave into the night
I never knew how much I could bleed
When it's all said and done
I still stuck to my guns
I always knew what I couldn't take

Even if I'm wrong...
Honesty is everything
It's what I know and it's what I believe
I still stand here strong

I won't deny, deny
The sun never shines
It always rains on me
I can't deny, deny
That I haven't tried
No honor amongst us thieves
Inside, inside
I try to survive
Strangled by the waste
You can't deny, deny
That I never tried
It's always been on me

I'm just a bad seed
I'm just a bad seed
I'm just a bad seed
I'm just a bad seed
I'm just a bad seed

Yeah!
Bad seed!
Yeah!
Bad seed!
I'm just a bad seed

I won't deny, deny
The sun never shines
It always rains on me
I can't deny, deny
That I haven't tried
No honor amongst us thieves
Inside, inside
I try to survive
Strangled by the waste
You can't deny, deny
That I never tried
It's always been on me

I'm just a bad seed

16. Save Your Breath

Children of all ages, welcome to the game
Time to face your demons (Question the answers)
Wasted generation, raised by television
Come and choose your poison (Poison or cancer)

I can't be sympathetic
Repent repent, repent repent
Are you that blind?

Save my breath, 'cause no one is listening
There's no today if there's no tomorrow
Save your breath, 'cause no one can hear you
Another day in the life...
Save your breath

Life, bigger and better, sell your soul for whatever
Lie, so fucking clever (Nothing is sacred)
Priests and politicians, crime masked by religion
Faith with no contrition (Bring on your hatred)

I can't feel empathetic
Repent repent, repent repent
I'm not that blind

Save my breath, 'cause no one is listening
There's no today if there's no tomorrow
Save your breath, 'cause no one can hear you
Another day in the life...

Save my breath, 'cause no one is listening
There's no today if there's no tomorrow
Save your breath, 'cause no one can hear you
Another day in the life...
Save your breath

Repent repent, repent repent
Repent repent, repent repent

Save my breath, 'cause no one is listening
There's no today if there's no tomorrow
Save your breath, 'cause no one can hear you
Another day in the life...

Save my breath, 'cause no one is listening
There's no today if there's no tomorrow
Save your breath, 'cause no one can hear you
Another day in the life...
Save your breath

Repent repent, repent repent
Repent repent, repent repent

17. The House Of The Rising Sun

[originally by Animals]

There is a house in Sin City
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And, God, I know I'm one

My mother was a tailor
She sewed my new blue jeans
My father was a gamblin' man
Down in Sin City

Now the only thing a gambler needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Well, I've got one foot on the platform
The other's on the train
I'm goin' back to Sin City
To wear that ball and chain

Well, mothers, tell your children
Never do what I have done
Spend your lives in sin and misery
In the house of the rising sun

In the house of the rising sun

Well, there's a house in Sin City
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy
And God knows that I am one
