SHIHAD LYRICS

1. Comfort Me

inside, i'm all twisted around feeling uptight and i can't come down
and i need someone to tell me
i'll be safe again
and i need someone to tell me
that they really care

what have we become
could you comfort me, comfort me
the whole world's come undone
could you comfort me, comfort me

back up, evolution here
all the sick fucks
being born to kill
they just need someone to tell them
they're safe again
they all need someone to tell them
that somebody cares

you're going to bring the world down
the whole world down

2. Semi-Normal

got the right to ask a question
got the right to understand
got the right to choose your company
and speak from where you stand
all your pain is born inside out
right on time, wrong way round
we have come to tell what you are

i'm not fucking all right
i'm semi-normal
all bark and no bite
i'm semi-normal

got the right to build your freeway
got the right to force your plans
got the right to choose your destiny
and milk it while you can
all you mothers living in the clouds
look at you - you're upside down
we have come to step on your world

i'm not fucking all right
i'm semi-normal
all bark and no bite
i'm semi-normal

and the seed that has been sown
a dream you can't control
in the west where we know best
we're alone without them (yeah)

i'm not fucking all right
i'm semi-normal
all bark and no bite
i'm semi-normal

3. Run

on the rising tide
roller coaster ride
as the truth descends
you chose not to ride again

so you run
whatcha holding on, holding on to
run
life is going on
all around you
run
whatcha holding on, holding on to

used to love to dance
loved to take a chance
but something turned inside
and the dreams: they got left behind

so you run
whatcha holding on, holding on to
run
life is going on
all around you
run
whatcha holding on, holding on to
run
look what's going on, all around you

don't want to have to make a change
wouldn't want to exaggerate the pain
go running and back to the old ways

so you run
whatcha holding on, holding on to
run
life is going on
all around you
run
life is going on
all around you
run

4. Everything

you got a perfect girl
and it's a perfect world
you build a fortress around you
can see no reason not to continue

the things that you always dreamed about
you know that in time they'll be running out
stop turning around and round and round
everything you wanted will be falling down like castles in the sand
everything you needed in the world,
you're holding, holding in your hands

and if this comfortable life is your only passage through time
just make sure you can break through
the walls that you are building around you

the things you always dreamed about
you know that in time they'll be running out
stop turning around and round and round
everything you wanted will be coming down like castles in the sand
everything you needed in the world you're holding,
holding in your hands

wanna be part of the world
you gotta hand something over
wanna be part of the world

the things you always dreamed about
you know that in time they'll be running out
the things you always dreamed about
so turn it around and round and round
everything you wanted will be falling down like castles in the sand
everything you needed in the world you're holding,
holding in your hands

don't you want to hold it, hold it now
everything that you need
you're holding in your hands

5. Stranger

the night goes on and on; it seems like it's forever
wish we were home instead of how it's turning out
there's something you cannot explain
the one thing that gets in the way

don't say the things you said
can't you see that way
i made a mistake
you've become a stranger to me now
you kept it all inside
instead of letting it come out

loved saying i'll be there
and knowing that you mean it
we could go anywhere and never be apart
there's something you cannot escape
there's one thing you can never fake

don't say the things you said
can't you see that way
i made a mistake
you've become a stranger to me now
you kept it all inside
instead of letting it come out

through all the lonely days
and all the times that i spent waiting
to finally be with you again
just to discover that you changed
and things will never be the same

you've become a stranger to me now
you kept it all inside
instead of letting it come out

yeah, it's gone too far this time
yeah, you let it slip away
yeah, we've gone too far this time
things will never be the same

6. Home

we can't always be together
you gotta pick it up, you gotta pick it up again
things can't always hang together
cos nobody knows, so let's give it a go

home
you'll be running all the way
back home
but nothing's gonna save
your soul
you'll be running all the way
back home
home

we can't always make things better
when it comes around
you gotta nail it down
this ain't gonna be forever
cos nobody knows
so let's give it a go

home
you'll be running all the way
back home
but nothing's gonna save
your soul
you'll be running all the way
back home
home

if there was some way to manage this space
between us
(some way to manage this space between us)
(i find it hard to reach) home
you'll be running all the way
back home
but nothing's gonna save
your soul
till you've finally found your peace
on your own
you'll be running all the way
because life is short
and getting shorter
and we don't do things that we oughta
life is short and
getting shorter
you in.....
and so......

7. Nothing

(we say your an actor)
been searching for a reason
to make us change
(we say your an actor)
cos you've got the whole world listening
but you've got nothing to say

and as we gathered in the ashes
i said fire 'em up boys and let 'em go
they're making music for the masses
sliced up real thin for the radio

(we say your an actor)
all that you took for granted
has been replaced
(replaced by an actor)
now that your left with nothing
but more of the same

and as we gathered in the ashes
i said fire 'em up boys and let 'em go
they're making music for the masses
sliced up real thin for the radio

who do you think you are
who do you think you are
who do you think you are
we'll be climbing your way
we'll be climbing all the way
so who do you think you are
(who do you think you are)
who do you think you are
(who do you think you are)
who do you think you are
(who do you think you are)

and as we gathered in the ashes
i said fire 'em up boys and let 'em go
they're making music for the masses
sliced up real thin for the radio

you all sound the same
(we say your an actor)
with nothing to say

8. Bullitproof

i never thought we'd come this far
sit still, and wonder who you are
today, think
how much longer can we be apart
the same story, i know it off-by-heart
ok, it's just another day

caught, in a world that's bulletproof
i can't taste the truth
but it won't drag me down
and i'm caught in a world that's bulletproof
set me up to lose
but i won't let you down

who's gonna tell you what you're worth
roll over and expect to work your life away
why can't you realise today that you're...

caught, in a world that's bulletproof
i can't taste the truth
but it won't drag me down
and i'm caught in a world that's bulletproof
set me up to lose
but i won't let you down

there's an emptiness inside when we're apart
and when i'm far away from where you are
there's too much time for trouble in my heart
in my heart...

caught, in a world that's bulletproof
caught, in a world that's bulletproof

caught, in a world that's bulletproof
i can't taste the truth
but it won't drag me down
and i'm caught in a world that's bulletproof
set me up to lose
but i won't let you down

i won't let you down
caught in a world that's bulletproof
i won't let you down
caught in a world that's bulletproof
i won't let you down
caught in a world that's bulletproof

9. Walls

on your own today
lost with no direction
they took your dreams away
and stripped you of protection
but there's a light that won't burn out
when your heart is screaming out
is screaming

it doesn't matter where you are
there is life behind the walls around you
it doesn't matter where you start
won't be long, won't be long until
the walls around you are gone

on my own again
with open invitations and the world i'm in
is such a new sensation
but there's a light that won't burn out
if your heart begins to doubt

it doesn't matter where you are
there is life behind that walls around you
it doesn't matter where you start
it won't be long, won't be long until
the walls around you are gone

maybe a path to glory
it maybe a road to dust
it maybe there's one great story in all of us
in all of us, yeah

on your own today
lost with no direction
they took your dreams away
and stripped you of protection
but there's a light that won't burn out
when your heart is screaming out
is screaming

it doesn't matter where you are
there is life behind the walls around you
it doesn't matter where you start
it won't be long, won't be long until
the walls around you are gone

(cos when the walls are closing in)
(another day begins)
(as the last flame flickers out)
cos there's something good in us
(cos when the walls are closing in)
(another day begins)
(as the last flame flickers out)
cos there's something good in us
(cos when the walls are closing in)
(another day begins)
there must be something beautiful in us
cos there's something good in us
(cos when the walls are closing in)
(another day begins)
there must be something beautiful in us

10. Just A Shadow

living it up inside a cloud of isolation
with all the people tryin' to be somebody else
(cut apart) an extra generation
(cut apart) forget yourself

stand up, stand up, stand up
fuck yeah
light up, light up, light up
fuck yeah
sitting in line, but you're all in your mind
you're too cool to touch

there's something inside you
where nobody goes and
there's something about you
that i used to know
and if the sun is still shining
you'd never tell, you're just a shadow

tied up in knots, lying tangled from the ceiling
with all the people wishing i was somewhere else
(looking good)
don't know what i'm feeling
(looking good) it's time to sell

when they get up, get up
(fuck yeah)
when they light up, light up
(fuck yeah)

setting the time trying to get you alive
i can't seem to touch

there's something inside you
where nobody goes and
there's something about you
that i used to know
and if your sun is still shining
you better tell, you're just a shadow
of somebody else, you're just a shadow

(let it go)
get up, get up, get up
(let it go)
stand up, stand up, stand up

there's something inside you
where nobody goes and
there's something about you
that i used to know
and if your sun is still shining
you better tell, you're just a shadow
of somebody else, just a shadow

11. Trademark

well i bought myself today
it's like they know what i'm thinking away
we'll make a meal of all the words they steal
and pin 'em up against a wall

and thanks for your concern
but i'll do my own facts and figures
finish off the deal by keeping our shit real
when your appointment was for all

you don't need a trademark to go your own way
(leave me alone i'm not for sale)
you don't need a trademark to blow 'em all way
(stand on your own or go to to hell)
you don't need a trademark to go your own way
(leave me alone i'm not for sale)
you don't need a trademark no matter who says
(stand on your own or go to hell)

so keep your shit away from me
cos i know where you've been
so keep your shit away from me
cos i know where you've been

and i would
with no effort
say that i'm free
to be me

you don't need a trademark
(leave me alone i'm not for sale)
you don't need a trademark
(stand on your own or go to to hell)
you don't need a trademark
(leave me alone i'm not for sale)
you don't need a trademark
(stand on your own or go to hell)
suck
you don't need a trademark to go your own way
(leave me alone i'm not for sale)
you don't need a trademark to blow them all away
(stand on your alone or go to to hell)
you don't need a trademark to go your own way
(leave me alone i'm not for sale)
you don't need a trademark no matter who says
(stand on your own or go to hell)
you don't need a trademark
(to go your own way)
(leave me alone i'm not for sale)
you don't need a trademark
(to blow them all away)
(stand on your own or go to hell)
you don't need a trademark

12. Coming Down

give me a place to shed my skin
there's no point waiting around to begin
cos the more it takes the more you feel
ain't got much but i know it's real
ain't got time to waste your life away

all the people around you, walls that surround you
are coming down
and the things that you feel, hearts that you steal
they'll be coming down for love
all the people around you, walls that surround you
are coming down
and the things that you hide, won't be denied
they'll be coming down, coming down for love

open up and let 'em in
love ain't something that you can win
cos the more it takes, the more you feel
ain't got much but we know it's real
ain't got time to waste your life away

all the people around you, walls that surround you
are coming down
and the things that you feel, hearts that you steal
they'll be coming down for love
all the people around you, walls that surround you
are coming down
and the things that you hide, won't be denied
they'll be coming down, coming down for love

now for every boy and every girl
with all the pain and joy in the world
we don't mean nothing without love

all the people around you, walls that surround you
are coming down
and the things that you feel, hearts that you steal
they'll be coming for love
all the people around you, walls that surround you
are coming down
and the things that you hide, won't be denied
they'll be coming down, coming down for love
coming down
