A Shipwreck In The Sand

Silverstein A Shipwreck In The Sand歌詞
1.A Great Fire

Burning down, we can't stop it,
We gotta get out, start again,
Our memories are gone forever,
Don't try to turn this around on me,
I'm the one that saved you
This was my own, this was my life
It's not always just about you
And as I heard, the sirens begin to chime,
I can feel my heart begin to race

I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me,
Mind and soul, now the same
And my body guides the way

I feel you up on my shoulder
Like the angel, like my other
I'm not your hero,
I'll never be what you wanted,
what you thought I would be

I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me,
Mind and soul, now the same
And my body guides the way
I can see through my tired eyes my sickness controls me
Deep inside, I know this is the mother of deceit

And they you were,
6 years old, ashes in your hair,
You're not scared; you've seen so much pain in so few years,
As the world becomes a place where no one wants to stay,
We remain silent until it's too late,

And as I see the flames that go in the sky,
I can feel it coming to the end.

I can see through the flames that the fire cleanses me,
Mind and soul, now the same
And my body guides the way
I can see through my tired eyes my sickness controls me
Deep inside, I know this is the mother of deceit


2.Vices (Feat. Liam Cormier)

you cant see me behind the door
i just heard everything you said
you call him
you're saying all the same things
you used to say to me
who is he
i never thought you'd drop that avalanche on me
and be unfaithful
these hotel walls are paper thin
im going out

seven seven with the lime will keep me safe
long enough to stop the though of your embrace inside my head
the lies that ive been fed
throw it back behind my lips the pain is gone
line em up and knock em down the night goes
on and on and on to let me cope with this disaster

im seven deep
her brown hair and blue eyes
looking right at me
who is she
i never thought I'd ever think of stepping out
I'll fight this temptation
this crowded bar is full of sin
i'm going out

seven seven with the lime will keep me safe
long enough to stop the though of your embrace inside my head
the lies that ive been fed
throw it back behind my lips the pain is gone
line em up and knock em down the night goes
on and on and on to let me cope with this disaster

im not coming home tonight
i'd rather sleep on the street
im not coming home to you
i'd wont sleep with the devil
im not coming home tonight
i'd rather sleep on the street
im not coming home to you
i'd wont sleep with the devil
im not coming home tonight
i'd rather sleep on the street
im not coming home to you
i'd wont sleep with the devil

on this city street ill rest my head tonight
I'm going out!

seven seven with the lime will keep me safe
long enough to stop the thought of your embrace inside my head
the lies that i've been fed
throw it back behind my lips the pain is gone
line em up and knock em down the night goes
on and on and on to let me cope with this disaster


3.Broken Stars

Shooting daggers at me
Letting it be known you're not impressed
I never fail at failing all your tests
Don't be so proud
'Cause you're still so scared to be alone
You can't change your mind!

You won't embrace this
But you accept it
You can't let go!

Broken stars
By a single shattered mirror
Seven years of trust
I know you'll never change for anyone
I'll go hard, never lost!

My mind's made up!
And I'll know I'll do the right thing
Get up and stand tall!
My mind's made up!
Why am I scared, I won't be able
To get up when I fall!

We cast a single shadow for so long now
It's so hard to see the sun at all! (The sun at all!)
But you need light to see
The writing on the wall!

My mind's made up!
And I'll know I'll do the right thing
Get up and stand tall!
My mind's made up!
Why am I scared, I won't be able
To get up when I fall...

...into the hole I've made,
I brace myself alone.
I'll find the strength within myself
To climb out on my own. Own!

My mind's made up! (Made up!)
And I'll know I'll do the right thing
Get up and stand tall!
My mind's made up (Made up!)
Why am I scared, I won't be able
To get up when I fall!

These broken stars
Can be put back in the sky!
I still can feel your scars!
I won't, I won't let you die!
We won't, we won't fade away!
Right now, right now,
See this on the glass!


4.American Dream

It was on a wedding day
When my heart began to stray
Never thought I'd make such a big mistake
Throw my life away

I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without sleep
Keeping this in
I've got cuts I can't close
I've got wounds that won't heal
It's all your fault

I've been shattered and wrecked
My hand's covered in blood
Scars on my skin
I forgot how to feel
Now I'm weak with deceit
My skin is paper thin

We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holdin' it in
We go through this
Over and over again

I go years without tears
In a life with no fear
A life without you
Now I'm breaking my back as
I cover my tracks
My skin is paper thin once again

We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holdin' it in
We go through this
Over and over again

I've gone days without food
I've went weeks without sleep
Keeping this in
I've got cuts I can't close
I've got wounds that won't heal
It's all your fault

My american dream
wasn't ever to rise to your ???
What's the point?
(I wish they would...)

We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holdin' it in
We've gone through this
Over and over again (Over again)

We've been through this
Feeling it, keeping it, holdin' it in
We go through this
Over and over again
(Over and over again)

This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real
This was not a test
This was all for real


5.Their Lips Sink Ships

Fly away, leave the bloody past behind your wings
Leave this burning house and break the curse
When you survive another day, another day
Fly away, leave the bloody past behind your wings


6.I Knew I Couldn't Trust You

I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids
You sold me out, you ran and hid
From all your problems, can't even face your friends
Your best friends

You're holding something in tonight
And I can tell you're not all right
Your poker face concealing
All the cards that you're not dealing

Cross your arms, avert your eyes
You're like a child ashamed to cry
The words inside your head
When I find out, you'll wish you said

I let you down so many times
But I can't ever tell you this
There is no forgiving it
I promised you I'd always be there
But that couldnt be less true
It's the worst thing I could do

You're gonna bet it all on black
And when it's gone you'll want it back
Cause truth will mix with reason
And cheating's the ultimate treason

And I could see through you like glass
Slither around below the rest
Garden of Eden burning
Forbidden fruit, you won't discern it

I let you down so many times
But I can't ever tell you this
There is no forgiving it
I promised you I'd always be there
But that couldnt be less true
It's the worst thing I could do

My loss, your gain
Do you love to play this way

Hold in the pain?
We're better off this way
We don't explain
We're better off this way
Friends are in vain
We're better off this way

I knew I couldn't trust you back when we were kids
You sold me out, you ran and hid
From all your problems, can't even face your friends
Your best friends

I let you down so many times
But I can't ever tell you this
There is no forgiving it
I promised you I'd always be there
But that couldnt be less true
It's the worst thing I could do


7.Born Dead (Feat. Scott Wade)

You call this a privilege
No, I call it a right
There's no respect for life;
No compromising
Coverage denied (Coverage denied)

So sit behind your desk and tell me how I'm supposed to feel
inside
You know I'm slowly dying, how long I have left is for you to
decide

We keep on suffering everyday
We're victims of opportunity
One nation under God, they said
We are all born dead

Dead and rotting bodies fill the
Fields in the east
There's no respect for life; it never stops
Is this what makes us free?

So flex your muscle as you barricade the whole world piece by
piece
How long until the ocean overflows into our yards and streets?

We keep on suffering everyday
We're victims of opportunity
One nation under God, they said
We are all pawns, we are all sheep, we are all born.
DEAD!

We can't escape this
Until we unify as one
I'll fight the sickness
Until my time has come

We keep on suffering everyday
We're victims of opportunity
One nation under God, they said
We are all born dead

We keep on suffering everyday
We're victims of opportunity
One nation under God, they said
We are all pawns, we are all sheep, we are all born dead


8.A Shipwreck In The Sand

'Once upon a time,
before the lakes and rivers were polluted,
before the animals were poached to extinction,
and before man had destroyed the earth's atmosphere,
there was a great ship.
This vessel was to venture into new waters,
to find new resources to make life easier and more enjoyable.
It was a simple mission for the crew,
who were excited to be a part of this union.
They pledged to the captain and vow to be there no matter what,
in sickness, health, and possible death.
As time passed by, there was no new land to be found.
As the days grew shorter, and the nights grew longer and colder,
the crew became more and more skeptical about the captain's
vision.
Originally passionate and committed, true and faithful,
they now began to revolt.'

Cross the line
I was honest and never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to stand for something
And everyone should take the lead
Follow your dreams
If you don't try you fail

And the mutiny started
And the captain was overthrown and chained
He asked them why
Their lives had changed
There's no gold to be found
No treasure in the ground
We won't die for this
We won't die for you

You've lost your mind
I was honest and never promised anything
Just a brotherhood to stand for something
And even if they disagree
Follow your dreams
If you don't try, you fail

His dream is now
A shipwreck in the sand
They gave up
Then made all their demands
The storm consumes
Fifty seven souls
Die in vain
Whose love they stole?

This union, a battle fought and lost
This union was not about the cause
This union was never about love
This union, this union

This union, a battle fought and lost
This union was not about the cause
This union was never about love
This union, this union

This union, a battle fought and lost
This union was not about the cause
This union was never about love


9.I Am The Arsonist

Throwing up with the thought of you two,
How could you do this?
My best friend with my bride,
Now you tell me you are leaving.

They'll see your fire through the darkest sky
I hope your home when I arrive.
If the there's a fire in the afterlife,
I'll be there again to light the match.

Burn

Gasoline and fire is the perfect combination
Light it up,
Burn it down,
Burning my addiction.

They'll see your fire through the darkest sky,
I hope your home when I arrive.
If the there's a fire in the afterlife,
I'll be there again to light the match.

I am the light that warms up your body
and sets free the demons inside.
I am the one that never ignores you,
that never will let you down.

They'll suspect, but they'll never prove I was there.
In my fate, I feel the wrath of adrenaline (of adrenaline).

It's too hard to run away,
When I watch you stay,
To watch it burn, watch it churn,
Into dust.


10.You're All I Have

I wake up in the afternoon
Empty walls make up the room
And I'm wishing for one thing
To give myself the strength to keep myself alive
Long enough to make sure you don't try
To turn out anything like me
Another fraud, another fake
Don't pretend you're not the one who's wrong

You're keeping me sane when I'm feeling alone
I wield my heart and my flesh and bones
Don't leave me to die by myself
I can't live without you

Saw my treatment through the blinds
Calling me from these confines
There's only so many more days
Until you're cast away from ever seeing me
They won't understand, they'll never see
The way you medicate my head
Without you here, I'm left for dead
Don't pretend you're not the one who's wrong

You're keeping me sane when I'm feeling alone
I wield my heart and my flesh and bones
Don't leave me to die by myself
I can't live without you
Without you here

You're all I have
In a world that judges long before it sees
You're all I have
In a place that hates me and only wants to
Push me down now I'm forsaken
Past the point I'll bend you'll break me
I won't be fine, you're all mistaken
Don't pretend you're not the one who's wrong

Don't you pretend it's gonna be okay
Don't lie and say it's better off this way
Don't pretend you're not the one who's wrong
You're not the one who's wrong
Don't pretend

You're keeping me sane when I'm feeling alone
I wield my heart and my flesh and bone
Don't leave me to die by myself
I can't live without you here (Don't you pretend, don't you
pretend)
Without you here (Don't lie and say)

You're not the one who's wrong
You're keeping me safe when I'm feeling alone
You're not the one who's wrong
Don't leave me to die when I'm feeling alone
I can't live without you
Don't pretend you're not the one who's wrong


11.We Are Not The World

I've always been your favorite game
And all the world's your sparkling stage
Just another extra in your play, the fool

I'm ready for your drama
You're throwing every hook tonight
Your charismatic lines make tears run down their cheeks
I've lost the only thing I need
Here's to the plaintiff
And now you're taking her away

I've always been your favorite game
And all the world's your sparkling stage
Just another extra in your play, your fool

(Pull out the pin)
Fallen a bomb grenade now
(Don't shoot, don't shoot)
I'm just a kid like you
We fight for billionaires who bomb our city streets
To find a use for corporate green
Here's to the propaganda
And then they take your life away

I've always been your favorite game
And all the world's your sparkling stage
Just another extra in your play
I've always been your favorite game
And all the world's your sparkling stage
Just another extra in your play

And now that war has been declared,
How long until bombs burst in air
We've come too far
Just to let this die, to throw this away

I've always been your favorite game
And all the world's your sparkling stage
Just another extra in your play
I've always been your favorite game
And all the world's your sparkling stage
Just another extra in your play


12.A Hero Loses Everyday

I've lost everything
Now I've gotta find a way out
They keep asking me
Where I was when it was burning

There's no trying to explain
They'll lock me up again
Throw away the key
The protagonist became
The villain they disdain
In every way

I've lost everything
But I'm gonna find a way out
Nothing's left for me
Except malady and hatred

No evidence was found
They'll let me go for now
At least till tomorrow

Hey! When tomorrow brings the morning sun again
I'll be long gone
Now! As I drive away and leave the past behind
I think I'm dying

It's so pathetic
I hate you so much but I still miss you

Karma is hard to change
When everything you do and say is awful
Remorse is hard to fake
When you only feel sorry for yourself

I'm coughing up more blood
It's filling up my lungs
It's killing me

Hey! When tomorrow brings the morning sun again
I'll be long gone (I'll be long gone)
Dead! Lying all alone on this motel room floor
I know I'm dying (I know I'm dying)

Hey! I've lost everything
Now! Now I succumb to grace?
It's not that surprising
A hero loses every day


13.The Tide Raises Every Ship

I've lost everything
Now I've gotta find a way out
They keep asking me
Where I was when it was burning

There's no trying to explain
They'll lock me up again
Throw away the key
The protagonist became
The villain they disdain
In every way

I've lost everything
But I'm gonna find a way out
Nothing's left for me
Except malady and hatred

No evidence was found
They'll let me go for now
At least till tomorrow

Hey! When tomorrow brings the morning sun again
I'll be long gone
Now! As I drive away and leave the past behind
I think I'm dying

It's so pathetic
I hate you so much but I still miss you

Karma is hard to change
When everything you do and say is awful
Remorse is hard to fake
When you only feel sorry for yourself

I'm coughing up more blood
It's filling up my lungs
It's killing me

Hey! When tomorrow brings the morning sun again
I'll be long gone (I'll be long gone)
Dead! Lying all alone on this motel room floor
I know I'm dying (I know I'm dying)

Hey! I've lost everything
Now! Now I succumb to grace?
It's not that surprising
A hero loses every day


14.The End (Feat. Lights)

First time we met
Face became etched
In my mind

You were the sun
I was the one who worshipped you
My hands were your guns
Your eyes were my muse

And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside you could never reach
But can I still keep
A place in your heart

You broke my heart
You promised me the moon and stars
I fell for your dreams
I fell for your lies
There was no other way
You know I tried

And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside you could never reach
But can I still keep
A place in your heart

There is something
I want you to know
I think you know exactly what it is

I didn't want to save you
I didn't want to save you
I set our house on fire
To watch it burn
But I couldn't just leave you

And I knew you could never love me
I had so much sorrow inside you could never reach
But I'll ask you this
Will you still miss me?
(I still miss you)
Will you love me?
(Yes, I love you)

Lights fill the sky
We'll both die tonight
We'll both die tonight
Lights from the sky
What if the white light flies
As we follow the light

Lights fill the sky
We'll both die tonight
We'll both die tonight
Lights from the sky
What if the white light flies
As we follow the light

We'll both die tonight
We'll both die tonight

What if the white light flies
We'll both die tonight
As we follow the light
