GWEN STACY LYRICS

1. The First Words

Don't let them make you think your doubt is disbelief.
It's time you finally listen to the things I have to say.
I've been talking with no response.
It's time for your attention.
Are you ready to listen?
Now listen for what you've missed every time before.

In this conversation with the known unknown,
Mouth shut, eyes wide, ready and willing.

I've let open the skies this very night.

I'll sit and wait while the stars they take their time.
Because I'm starved with empty hands, and I've been a broken man
Oh pilot of pilots come fly me home.
I'm coming to say goodnight.
If I have one more day to live.
Then I have one more day to fight.
Sometimes it's just too hard to make myself believe,
that you'll catch me when I fall.

Don't let them make you think your doubt is disbelief.

I'm not about to pretend to be something that I'm not.

2. Profit Motive

You gave your life away in hopes for something more.
Did you think you would find the answer to questions
centuries old by sitting on your hands?
You won't find your answers.

Say what you came here to say.

All eyes are fixed on ruins.
If there's a hope for change to be made
then now is your time to deliver.
Rise above.
The calm is wearing thin.
Rise above.
I feel this growing.
This is love.
It's what we're made for.
This is love.
We're never backing down.
This time I am so sincere.
You blot out the sun with your mouth open wide,
and built a spiritless empire to reach your heaven.
You're stumbling, you're tripping now.
How worthless this all seems.
And your time is running out.
How worthless this all seems.
Take an axe to the root, cut out your eye.
The towers crumble.
The lowly sing.
We all sing,
This is me, I know its not what you wanted.
This is me, My heart is so sincere.

3. A Dialogue

"I have become so bitter that it has reached my core.
I have become so bitter that it has reached my core,
but every day brings a battle that I can’t win.
Still it seems that I have all my drones in a row...in a row.
So I will drown myself in holy water, and call myself at home.
I’ll drown myself in holy water, and call myself at home.
Can this be happening? Let me know when to feel,
and when to live my life again.
I’ve tried my best to overcome.
All that I truly have I will lay at Your feet.
I swear this better be worth it.
It’s been three hundred days of cold, and I am so alone.
What can I make of this? What can I make of this?
Oh me of little faith. Overtaken by mind and thought.
I can’t believe how far I’ve come,
but it has taken so many steps to get here."

"You speak your doubts in hope of finding
something that I have not already seen.
There are things that are so much greater
than your heart could truly understand."

"You’ve got me out on my hands and knees,
but I’m a faithful son to no one.
I bury loved ones in memories.
Guide me as I walk over their ashes.
I burn my bridges to the ground with failure as my road.
I burn my bridges to the ground with failure as my road.
Can this be happening?
Let me know when to feel, and when to live my life again.
I’ve tried my best to overcome.
All that I truly have I will lay at Your feet.
I swear this better be worth it.
It’s been three hundred days of cold, and I am so alone.
I swear this better be worth it.
It’s been three hundred days of cold, and I am so alone.
What can I make of this? What can I make of this?"

"This is the real world, and you’re falling apart (and you’re falling apart).
This is the real world, and you’re falling apart (and you’re falling apart)."

4. Creation And How I See It

"I am the kind of man who wants to watch the world burn.
I hold the match that will spark it's destruction,
And burn out the liars, traitors, spies
That live under the protection of your name.
Unfortunate, pathetic fools.
They scorch the earth with fire from their mouths.
I've felt your wrath.
Let's explore mine.
By sundown, you and I will be all that's left.
If I'm to feel alone. I'll make it that way.
In the clutches of death,
I'll stand at the center circle of a burning town and smile.
Unfortunate, pathetic fools.
There will be a slaughter of those untrue.
The fate of the world is held by the throat with my two hands."

5. Words Of The New Prophet

"I've come to show the world the way."

"But you're about to mislead them all.
Your words they drip with ruin."

"I've come to show the world the way."

"You've shown them nothing of what you think.
One day you'll eat your words."

"How can this be? I speak the truth."

"You speak your own truth in vain.
You'll eat your words.
I swear, one day you'll eat your words.
Using my name to slander theirs.
How does that show integrity?
Ride your plank to rivers end.
Because of you these rivers run red.
Flowing from a war that's blood on blood.
Love is patient, but I guess it's time has run out.
It's all conditional.
Who put you in the position to cast judgment?
There is two sides to every story.
So do not judge the walk unless you step foot in those shoes.
There is nothing complex about this.
The fire that burned this bridge down
Was caused by the sparks from your mouth.
Ignorance has plagued your mind, and now there is no going back.
You can't go back.
If you could see the world through my eyes,
Then you would know love, this love, you've lost."

6. Devil Devil

"Devil, Devil.
My heart is filled with selfish
Thoughts of destruction,
And things I don't understand.
Yet I must find acceptance in this
From the one who brought me into this world.
Taking me under his wing,
And showing me what it is to be a man.
Time has passed, and things have changed.
All these things have changed.
Do his words still ring true?"

"They've given up. Don't you do that to me."
"But I'm so unsure with the way things are."
"Now listen to me. Trust me my son."

"I am learning every day that things have changed.
It's not just me and you.
Is there still life in the blood we once shared?
Am I wrong for loving you or just in love with being wrong?
I want to know where your heart lies.
That much I deserve.
Excuse my words from before.
Hate found it's way to my heart.
I'll leave my back turned to you.
See if my world falls apart.
Is this what you call being a man?
Are you a man?
Excuse my ways from before.
Hate found it's words in my heart."

7. Addictionary

"Baby girl, stand up.
This world's in need of beauty,
And it has taken you for granted.
And the pain consumes what's in you.
Your closest ones held back by the length of an arm.
Unable to reach.
You have no idea what you put yourself through.
Keep on pushing yourself to the floor.
You're wasting away in your self-made hell.
You're steady in your own demise.
Can you feel this racing through your veins?
This is all you need.
Why do you do the things that you do to yourself?
You do this to yourself.
It's so hard to live with your hands down your throat."

"I am not in control, and I'm praying for peace to keep.
I am not in control, and I'm praying for peace to call my own.
It always takes what's left of me.
A lesson here is deserved."

"I built your heart. I built that heart for me.
That heart was built for love.
You'll never fill the void.
Breathe deep, let the smoke fill your lungs.
You're steady in your own demise."

8. Braveheart

"I try to sleep with the shakes, but they keep me awake.
I am a son of sin with a heart of scars
Hiding in the shadows because the light reveals my flaw."

"I made you. I brought you into this world."

"I'm searching for the one place in this world
Where I can escape from your eyes."

"Don't ever think you can use my name to clear your own."

"I wake up sweating from sleep
Because it seems that dreams can be nightmares."

"I know you know.
Lie in the bed that you built
With your own two hands.
No greater shame has a man
Than laying down a friend's life for his own."

"I know that you know
That you threw it all away.
Who are you that you may choose who is worthy of mercy?"

9. A Middle Ground

"Here at the end of my walk,
I'm looking back and seeing clearly
That along with the way my footsteps
Turned lighter turn by turn
From walking every way yours.
I've ruined the choice,
And lost the voice to speak for myself.
Even with these two hands raised
I have no hope for better days.
If truth is written in your hands
Then it's ever-passing from my reach.
I am all but the man you thought you knew from before.
All my doubts and disbeliefs have brought me to this."

"Your footsteps grow lighter because I carry you.
So turn around, and run away.
I'll run with you.
Uncover your eyes.
You just have to find a way to let go.
A way to catch your breath.
Uncover your eyes you blinded child.
You're no better or worse than the ones beside you."

"Here I am faced with a choice.
It's just so hard to make myself believe.
It's still too hard to fully walk away.
Standing on the fault line torn between two sides."

10. The Making Of

"The mirror stands in me.
It's got more heart than I do.
How did I get this way?
There has to be more than this.
More to life than wasting time, and missing out.
Am I missing out on the afterlife?
My head is too strong,
And my heart is too weak.
I've got tunnel vision, and nothing else surrounds me.
Is this what they meant by abstract?
Torn and thrown together.
Do I run the other end of these prayers?
Or are they just screaming in my head?
I swear you can't break me.
You're not gaining any ground.
I'm not giving anything."

"All I'm asking is you look to the sky to find your heart.
It's all you have and it's falling."

"Even if you know my face, can you really know my heart?
If you want me you'll have to give me breath,
And wake this creature from death."

"You can't see standing in your own shoes.
Why can't you see that you're standing on holy ground?
Try to remember that this meant something.
This does exist, and they'll never understand."

11. The Sound Of Letting Go

This is the sound of letting go.
This is the last breath I'll ever know.
This is the last breath I'll never know.
As I look up with my last breath, and I say:

I want to know what it's like
To walk in the footsteps you have made.
I will run my course, finish my race
Until I'm called home.

Death will bring the greatest day I've ever lived.
On that glorious day held off so long,
All the world will rejoice as the son comes home.

I patiently await the day when all is revealed.
When morning never comes.
When we speak these words
Eye to eye, hand in hand, face to face.
