TEAR OUT THE HEART LYRICS

1. Dead By Dawn

I've spent the past few years
Fighting off
What's left of these demons inside my head
It's safe to say
I hate this place
But it's made me who I am today

I'd give anything
To sleep away this curse
I'd give anything
To sleep away this curse

[Chorus:]
Time heals nothing
I'm giving my all
You tell me to stand but I continue to fall
Try your best and I'll do my worst
I'd give anything to sleep away this curse
Sleep away this curse

I've spent the past few nights
Drinking off what's left
Of these nightmares that haunt me
The sun goes down
I'm wide awake with both eyes open
And my back is against the wall
Against the wall
Sleep can't come soon enough
Sleep can't come soon enough

[Chorus:]
Time heals nothing
I'm giving my all
You tell me to stand but I continue to fall
Try your best and I'll do my worst
I'd give anything to sleep away this curse
Sleep away this curse

I'd give anything
To sleep away this curse
I'd give anything
To sleep away this curse

Time heals nothing
Time heals nothing
Time heals nothing
I could never forget

I could never forget

2. Infamous Last Words

You may not respect me
But you will fear me

What good is a voice
With no one left to listen?
I'm sick of all of these mindless clones
And did I fail to mention
I've fought tooth and nail
To get where I am today?
One day we will be gone
But these words will live on

[Chorus:]
Who are you to say we don't belong?
Here we are screaming out our lungs
Proving everybody wrong

[Chorus:]
Who are you to say we don't belong?
Here we are screaming out our lungs
Proving everybody wrong

You have dug your own grave
Now lay the fuck down
Your name's a bitter taste in my mouth

What good is a map
Without a sense of direction?
I'm sick of biting my tongue
And killing to get your attention

I've fought tooth and nail
To get where I am today?
One day we will be gone
But these words will live on

[Chorus:]
Who are you to say we don't belong?
Here we are screaming out our lungs
Proving everybody wrong

[Chorus:]
Who are you to say we don't belong?
Here we are screaming out our lungs
Proving everybody wrong

You thought that we were dead
But we broke through
I will bury you

You have dug your own grave now

[Chorus:]
Who are you to say we don't belong?
Screaming out my lungs
Proving everybody wrong

[Chorus:]
Who are you to say we don't belong?
Here we are screaming out our lungs
Proving everybody wrong

I will bury you

3. Crucified

What is that you believe in?
What is it that you fear the most?
It's hard to handle the truth
When it's at your fucking throat

If you're going to crucify me
For my "so called sins"
At least stake me up somewhere with a view
I want to see this "Hell" I've made

[Chorus: ]
Don't say I'm only the martyr
Just know that I'll be waiting
I'll stay alive just to show you
I'll be everything you're not

Who is it that you blame the most?
Your ignorance, your only resistance
Don't let it get the best of you

If you're going to crucify me
For my "so called sins"
At least stake me up somewhere with a view
I want to see this "Hell" I've made

[Chorus: ]
Don't say I'm only the martyr
Just know that I'll be waiting
I'll stay alive just to show you
I'll be everything you're not

I'm everything you're not
I'll always be what you're not

I want to see this Hell that I've made
Bitch

4. Undead Anthem

No mistakes, only choices
No regrets, only voices
Let this anthem reach
To an undead city

Leave your morals at the door
I don't even know who I am anymore
Chose your poison, buckle in
One more shot now let's begin

In the end we're not the same
You were born to rot
This has to stop
In the end we're not the same
If it's a war you want
Then it's a war you'll get

[Chorus:]
I've waited all this time
Just to realize
I'm not the man I said I'd be
I've wasted so much life
Many sleepless nights
You've taken everything that's left of me

No mistakes, only choices
No regrets, only voices
Let this anthem reach
To such a fucked up city

If only they could see you now
I bet the other snakes would all be proud
You spineless fuck
If you caught fire
I wouldn't piss to put you out

If it's a war you want
Then it's a war you'll get
If it's a war you want
Then it's a war you'll get

[Chorus:]
I've waited all this time
Just to realize
I'm not the man I said I'd be
I've wasted so much life
Many sleepless nights
You've taken everything that's left of me

No mistakes, only choices
No regrets, only voices
Let this anthem reach

No mistakes, only choices
No regrets, only voices
Let this anthem reach

We're not the same

5. Violence

It's time you waste away
Like the scum that you are
Yah

You can stitch my mouth shut
And you can carve out my eyes
I swear it's not just you
It's this world that I despise

This is only the beginning
Consider this a warning

[Chorus:]
I'm through with desperately searching
And patiently waiting
It's time I get what I deserve
This is an awakening
I can't even feel a goddamn thing
I can't feel anything tonight
I can't feel anything
I can't feel anything tonight
I can't feel anything

Now you can slice the tension
Use the knife that was left in my back
And you can choke on your own damn words
You never had a prime for me
To cut you down in

This is only the beginning
Consider this a warning

[Chorus:]
I'm through with desperately searching
And patiently waiting
It's time I get what I deserve
This is an awakening
I can't even feel a goddamn thing
I can't feel anything tonight
I can't feel anything
I can't feel anything tonight
I can't feel anything

There's never been
A colder day in Hell

6. Feed Me A Stray Cat

Consider this a confession
There's sulfur on my breath
Bring me death

I can feel the hate
Running straight through my veins
My nerves are wearing thin
Like a fine Chardonnay

I can feel the hate
I live a life of pain
No one is safe

I've killed before and I liked it
Didn't you hear what I said?
I've killed before and I liked it
Don't you dare tell me it's in my head

Do you like Huey Lewis and the news?
"Hey Paul!"

Something is happening
I need blood to fill my needs
I tried to tell you
But you didn't listen
I'm into murders and executions

I can feel the hate
I live a life of pain
Bring me death

7. Coffin Eyes

Another night well spent with more blood
Than time on my hands
No matter how hard I try
I can't forgive, I can't forget

What's done is done
One grave with more to come
What's done is done
Nevermore, nevermore

[Chorus:]
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes

[Chorus:]
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes

To cut a long story short
Slit your throat and bleed yourself dry
At least I could rest easy knowing
It won't snow where you're going

What's done is done
One grave with more to come
What's done is done
Nevermore, nevermore

[Chorus:]
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes

[Chorus:]
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes

There's nothing I'd like more
Than to see you squirm

[Chorus:]
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes

[Chorus:]
Bury us alive
We're six feet deep
And dying to live tonight
We can't see the light
When we're all born with coffin eyes

Coffin eyes
We're all born with coffin eyes

8. Eternal Shadows

Here we are
Waiting in the shadows to make our mark
We've learned from our mistakes
We're reminded of our scars

When one door closes
Another's slammed in your fucking face
Now's the time
Here's the place

Despite everything
My eyes are open

[Chorus:]
It's better to light the way
Than curse us all with darkness
(With darkness)
The truth is what I've embraced
Now that my mind has adjusted
The truth has overtaken me

Here they are
Condemning us to shadows
And forcing us to see
It's hard to carry on
When no one else believes

When one door closes
Another's slammed in your fucking face
Now's the time
Here's the place

Despite everything
My eyes are open
Despite everything
My eyes are open

[Chorus:]
It's better to light the way
Than curse us all with darkness
(With darkness)
The truth is what I've embraced
Now that my mind has adjusted
The truth has overtaken me

It's hard to carry on
When no one believes
My eyes are open
Despite everything

Now's the time
Here's the place
Now's the time
Here's the place

[Chorus:]
It's better to light the way
Than curse us all with darkness
(With darkness)
The truth is what I've embraced
Now that my mind has adjusted
The truth has overtaken me

[Chorus:]
It's better to light the way
Than curse us all with darkness
(With darkness)
The truth is what I've embraced
Now that my mind has adjusted
The truth has overtaken me

9. Closure

I drank myself numb
I lied myself to sleep
I dress these wounds
Pretend they're not so deep

But I am stronger now
I swear that I'm not afraid to die
It's just this life
That makes it hard to breathe sometimes
And now the blood has been shed
And these four walls all painted red
It's not the end
We were never friends

It's not the end
We were never friends

10. Only Posers Die

You're not even a "has been"
You're a "never was"
You're a "never will be"
And it's all because
When push came to shove
I was pushed too far
Who do you think you are?

All my friends are dead
And I'm still standing

Someone like you
Could never live like me
Reckless and self-destructive
We are the industry

It's hard to stomach the fact that you exist
I live under your skin
I hope you hear this song
And it makes you sick

We reached for the crown
We didn't invent the wheel
But we'll run you down

All my friends are dead
And I'm still standing

In the end all you have is yourself
And everyone you think you know
Is busy rotting in Hell

In the end all you have is yourself
And everyone you think you know
Is busy rotting in Hell

I'm still left standing
I'm still here standing

Oh

Fuck you

11. Darker Tides

I know the end is inevitable
And I'll fall
Before I'll ever learn to fly
But I won't give up
And I won't cave in
At least that I can say I tried

This has always been about heart
This has never been about change
When there's nothing left to give
That's when we start the taking

[Chorus:]
It's a mystery
What the future holds
There's a past behind us
It's dark and cold
What will be the end of me?
We'll never know
So let it go
Just let it go
Drown in all your pride
Keep swimming out into darker tides
Let your eyes lose sight of the shore

I've learned that change is irrelevant
And that destiny it lies within
But I won't bend
And I won't break down
I'll make it on my own

This has always been about heart
This has never been about change
When there's nothing left to give
That's when we start the taking

[Chorus:]
It's a mystery
What the future holds
There's a past behind us
It's dark and cold
What will be the end of me?
We'll never know
So let it go
Just let it go
Drown in all your pride
Keep swimming out into darker tides
Let your eyes lose sight of the shore
Just let it go
Drown in all your pride
Keep swimming out into darker tides
Let your eyes lose sight of the shore

Let it go

Just let it go
Drown in all your pride
Keep swimming out into darker tides
Let your eyes lose sight of the shore

Just let it go
Drown in all your pride
Keep swimming out into darker tides
Let your eyes lose sight of the shore
