GWEN STACY LYRICS

1. The Path To Certainty

Down, down again
My day has come
A captive of my fate

Where are you now?

A dark cloud approaches
Don’t let me go
Not now, not ever
Don’t let me go

When will I see the sun again

Swallow your pride, let me lift you up
so I can make you whole again (whole again)
You’re not dead (I'm not dead)
I'm not dead
My son your not alone
My son your not alone

Crawl in humility before you walk in honor

There is a world of deceit in all of us
There is a world of deceit in all of us

When will I see the sun again

Swallow your pride, let me lift you up
so I can make you whole again (whole again)
You’re not dead (I'm not dead)
I'm not dead
My son your not alone
Swallow your pride
I'll make you whole again
You’re not dead (I'm not dead)
I'm not dead
My son your not alone
My son your not

All is not lost yet
I am not dead yet
All is not lost yet
I am not dead yet

2. I Was Born With Two First Names

Put yourself on display
You call yourself pure

Maybe we should face the wall,
Close our eyes and kiss ourselves goodbye
One more fight
There is a good chance I might die
If I'm not already dead on the inside
Tell me how I'm going to feel

Hanging heads and teary eyes
Shining smiles and polished lies
How many times can we change ourselves
Before we disappear completely

Let me out of this mess
No one has a reason to act this way
Let me out of this mess

"I must a been so blind"
Save your trust for the ones you can fool

This is family! This is pure!
This is family! This is pure!

Save your trust for the ones you can fool

You don't have a clue what family is all about
You liar you snake you lie you lie
You liar you snake you lie you lie

You call yourself pure
You call yourself pure

Maybe we should face the wall,
Close our eyes and kiss ourselves goodbye

Hanging heads and teary eyes
Shining smiles and polished lies
How many times can we change ourselves
Hanging heads and teary eyes
Shining smiles and polished lies
Before we disappear

3. Challenger Pt. 2

Enter left those who have the nerve to play as God
Oh baby were going for a long ride now
Let’s turn out the shadow
And show them what we’re about
I’ve got some lines for you to hear

Hear them from the bottom of my heart

Is this what real men are made of?
Shifty eyes, crooked spines, and lies

It’s so easy to know the right from wrong

Now run
Run before someone sees what you are
Run before you see for yourself

The selfish receive their own
The selfish receive their own

I’ve got smiles for miles and only I can play
Cause in this world its do or die
Lady you’ll love the way I am
Cause lady I’ll make you mine

You may be the king of this town
But you have got the world to prove to me

From the moment you walked through the door
I knew I’ve seen you before
And your face looked oh so much different
But the fear was all the same

Judge me, hate me, love me, what is it going to be?
Judge me, hate me, love me, what is it going to be?
Is this what real men are made of?
Shifty eyes, crooked spines, and lies
But your face looked oh so much different
And the fear was all the same

The selfish receive their own
The selfish receive their own
The selfish receive their own
The selfish receive their own

4. If We Live Right, We Can't Die Wrong

Set aside
Sent with no intent to return
What am I to expect
When I don't understand
Here is the life I know

When everything you know
Crumbles before your eyes
It becomes a battle to breathe
Under the weight of disappointment
The places I knew to be home seem strange
I feel the farthest from the ones I love the most

Set aside
Sent with no intent to return
What am I to expect, when I don't understand?

Still I know if I close my eyes and silence my heart
I can hear a voice quietly calling my name
Did you expect this to be easy?
Don't let yourself be fooled
Do you have the strength to move so to move the world

Never underestimate those with something to fight for
Convictions run deeper than blood
I see now that peace is but an illusion of safety
I see now that peace is but an illusion of safety

My complaints, my fulfillment
They are a distant memory
I am made whole in his love
I've finally learned to feel
And no one can take that away

You can not take that away
You can not ever take that away
Don't look for me to back down
Don't look for me to back down

You have the strength to move the world

Still I know if I close my eyes and silence my heart
I can hear a voice quietly calling my name
Did you expect this to be easy?
Don't let yourself be fooled
Do you have the strength to move so to move the world

You have one chance at life
You have one chance at life
You have the strength to move the world (to move the world)
Move the world

5. What Will Happen If I Hit Enter

Looks like I'm stuck here once again
With a thought on my mind, I stare at your open face

Every time I feel as though I try
I fail and no one wants to be a failure

I've had the wrong impression this whole time
And now we're the ones to blame

All I want to do is try
Want to
Pour my heart out for ones to read
Want to
Pour my mind for ones to hear
Want to
Drain my thoughts so everyone
Will have
Something to call their own

Here is the life I know
Here is the life I know

I won't stop till I have your attention
Till I have your attention

This life is now my explanation
You are proof that love is real
Tell me what I have to give
You are proof that love is real

So talk with me as I move my mouth
I'm pouring my heart out
Enough for you to see

These are my words
I want you to know them
I want you to sing them
I want you to feel
Pour my heart out for ones to read
Pour my mind for ones to hear
Drain my thoughts so everyone

Here is the life I know
Here is the life I know

6. The Fear In Your Eyes

Sound the alarms all eyes to the horizon
Prepare for war put down the fear in your eyes

We fight and die, bearing arms,free of fear
Our colors nailed to the mast

I may not make it back
But I'll make sure someone never forgets me
I may not make it back
But I'll make sure someone never forgets me

No regrets nothing left to loose.
I may not make it back
This night is mine
But I'll make my stand
This night is mine
So take a good last look at the blackened sky
Put down the fear in your eyes
I thought I'd never see this day

The time to fight is now
On to fight this war
The time to fight is now
On to fight this war
Oh!

I decide who will live and who will die
I decide who will live and who will die
I decide who dies

No regrets nothing left to loose.
I may not make it back
This night is mine
But I'll make my stand
This night is mine
So take a good last look at the blackened sky
Put down the fear in your eyes
I thought I'd never see this day

I may not make it back
But I'll make sure someone
I may not make it back
But I'll make sure someone never forgets me

This night is mine
This night is mine
This night is mine
This night is mine
This night is mine
This night is mine
This night is mine
This night is mine

7. Playing God Is Playing For Keeps

To the king of the land
There is an insurrection abroad
It starts as a whisper ear to ear and heart to heart

Perfect smile and a selling face
Perfect smile and a selling face

Oppression starts a revival
A reformation of will
What's done is done
I'll meet with you there at the public execution

Tonight we rest free men
Tonight we rest free men
Tonight we rest free men
Tonight we rest free men

The order is drawn smoke out the heathens let them know
Who is in control
It's your very own crusade
Light the torches
The party starts with a bang

Watch as they all fall down
Watch as they all fall down

This is an assassination no one's leaving here alive

It's your very own crusade
It's your very own crusade

Perfect smile and a selling face
Perfect smile and a selling face

Tonight we rest free men
Tonight we rest free men

8. Falling From The Fence

How long can you tread water
With no option to sink or swim
How long can you tread water
With no option

We run in circles
Chasing our shadows
On a track that leads to nowhere
I'll pay the price for apathy
Is it me
Is it me
Is it me

Suddenly there is a spark, then a flame,
Then a fire that surrounds me
That surrounds me

Into this dark world I carry this spark
Into this dark world I carry this spark

For I refuse to let my faith go unseen
For I refuse to let my faith go unseen

I made my choice
I'll take a chance
Don't wait for me

No slowing down
No turning back
Don't wait for me

The cross before me road behind me
No turning back
Though no one joins me still I follow
No turning back

I made my choice
I'll take a chance
No turning back
I made my choice
I'll take a chance
No turning back

It's about time we stand for something
It's about time we stand for something
It's about time we stand
It's about time we stand for something

9. Sleeping In The Train Yard

Welcome to the other side of the tracks
Where we starve for a high
And find love
In all the wrong places
This is the place of real nightmares
And every thing's a mistake
Welcome to the other side of the tracks

Here is a man
A man that stands before me
And I can smell Hell on his breath
And his eyes
His eyes
His eyes
Cut right through me
His smile reads of death
Everything he says, he says with such intentions
Of replacing any recognition
Of anything you knew

And

Nobody wins
Nobody wins
Nobody wins
Nobody wins

The end is near I can feel it on my neck
Caused by the belief in second hand grace
He'll be there won't he?
He'll be there won't he?

To call this conflict
Call it lust
Call it something
Call it dust

And he'll be there won't he?

I am free to taste this fruit
With a sword and an armored suit

Welcome to the other side of the tracks
Where we starve for a high
And find love
In all the wrong
All the wrong
Places
This is the place of real nightmares
And every thing's a mistake
Welcome to the other side of the tracks

Here is a man
A man that stands before me
And I can smell Hell on his breath
And his eyes
His eyes
Cut right through me

Everything he says, he says with such intentions
Of replacing any recognition

And
Nobody wins
Nobody wins

Tuck coat tails and run...

10. Gone Fishing. See You In A Year

While I wait
Today's the day for approach
Today's the day that I give for the first time
Inside there's nothing else for me
Inside there's nothing else

Where else could I go to find myself?
I'm heading out where I belong
Where else could I go to find myself?
I'm heading out
I'm heading out

I'll take a step
I'll make a step
I'll take a step for truth
I'll make a step for my life

While I wait
Today's the day for approach
Today's the day that I give for the first time
Inside there's nothing else for me
Inside there's nothing

We'll break our necks so we won't look back
We'll break our necks so we won't look back

I am free
If killing yourself is the way to change
Let's go to war

And in all of this
All I wanted was peace
Look at all I've done

Just silence now
What is this I see?
I'll call this bet with my own life
Was this even for me?
Was this even for me?
Just silence now
What is this I see?
I'll call this bet with my own life
Was this even for me?
Just past the edge
A simple move to make
My hands begin to shake

And in all of this
All I wanted was peace
Peace
I close my eyes and feel the water just beneath my feet

Step out onto the water
Stop staring at the waves
Step out onto the water
Stop staring at the waves

11. Paved Gold With Good Intentions

I pray that these words reach deep enough to find your heart
I have someone else, someone much more than me, above
This time, this time
This time it’s me
I am completely unprepared for the way life turned on me

I cannot stand
I cannot stand alone
I cannot stand
I cannot stand alone

I am the one
the only one that You’re afraid of
I am the one
the only one that You’re afraid of

I am only a human, and I am only worshipful
I’m not the man I was once before, it has taken it’s toll
Believe it, the best laid plans of mice and men go wrong
This has consumed me

This time it’s me
I am completely unprepared for the way life turned on me

I pray that these words reach deep enough to find your heart
I pray that these words reach deep enough to find your heart
I cannot stand
I cannot stand alone

I am the one, the only one that You’re afraid of
I am the one, the only one that You’re afraid of

12. I'll Splatter You Like Jackson Pollock

What do you have to accomplish
When you talk less of your maker
What riches you receive

Will do you no good in your place of rest
When it's the time to go

Tell me once again why I'm here
I've done nothing, to receive nothing

Don't wait for me no
Don't wake me up (Don't wake me up)
Cause I'm a ghost (Cause I'm a ghost)
A ghost with no footprints
I have retreated so far into my own skin
(Fully awake yet fully asleep
Dreaming my life away)
How long can I live like this (I live like this)

I've got nothing but trust in you
So please carry me to this spot
A place to call home

Make an effort to change your ways
Or your ways will change you

Because I'm carved on the inside
Just a cage of bones to hold
I'm empty on the inside
Fill me with a love to show

Don't wait for me no
Don't wake me up (Don't wake me up)
Cause I'm a ghost (Cause I'm a ghost)
A ghost with no footprints
I have retreated so far into my own skin
(Fully awake yet fully asleep
Dreaming my life away)
How long can I live like this (I live like this)

Death has taken over me
But only as an absence
I'm hollowed on the inside
Turn me upside down and shake till the bones fall out
Try me on fit me for size
Use my body as you will

Maybe this time I'll be the one
To control my shakes instead of
Letting my body be my soul
Letting my body be my soul

Make an effort to change your ways
Or your ways will change you
Make an effort to change your ways
Or your ways will change you
