1.Don't Walk Away
作詞:Myles R Kennedy
Broken glass from the window shattered yesterday
Deep inside I feel the same
All the while reflections of the one that went away
Shine off these pale four walls
Dissonance is the only song I want to sing
I would pray if I knew that you were listening
Don't walk away, don't walk away
I surrender to you today
This bended knee is breaking me
I'll surrender, I'll surrender
Staring down on pages of saltwater memories
Emotions etched from the heart
But that was bled so dry, there's nothing left to find
But the ashes of my, of my, of my soul
Don't walk away, don't walk away
I surrender to you today
This bended knee is breaking me
I'll surrender
I'll surrender, will be better
This is my vow to change
It stands to reason that some things were never meant to be
I should have known from the start
The race has been run and all is said and done
Ashes have been swept away
Don't walk away, don't walk away
I surrender to you today
This bended knee is breaking me
So I'll surrender, I'll surrender
2.Loose Cannon
作詞:Myles Kennedy
A loose cannon can you tell?
You're gonna get a lesson
He'll learn you well
Back off and stay away from him
Outside you're going down
And how ya gonna feel
When you hitting the ground?
Your bad seed is at it again
The boy was so defiant, angry young lion
With too much hatred from the past
And all his aggression
It isn't helping him become a man
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na nothing
Is ever gonna change him
Yeah, and it might take a little bit
To get used to but he'll stay broken
Outback behind the shed
That's where his daddy thought him
To hate the best
The education of the heavy hand
The blows were handed down
And it never did much good for him
To cry out loud
The fragile child never stood a chance
The boy was so defiant, angry young lion
With too much hatred from the past
And all his aggression
It isn't helping him become a man
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na nothing
Is ever gonna change him
Yeah, and it might take a little bit
To get used to but he'll stay broken
Hey, just remember this
Anger's not a curse
It's the greatest gift
Loose cannon can you tell?
Loose cannon can you tell?
Back off, back off from me
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na nothing
Is ever gonna change him
Yeah, and it might take a little bit
To get used to but he'll stay broken
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na nothing
Is ever gonna change him
Yeah, and it might take a little bit
To get used to but he'll stay broken
He'll stay broken, broken
3.Sick & Wrong
作詞:Myles Kennedy
One touch, taste the thrill so great
My flesh, breath, forbidden fruit you waste
They say I'm pure, naive and such a bore
But now you know the truth told I'm gonna give it away
Clip my wings this angel's falling down
Yeah, he's sick, sick, sick and wrong
Let's go, let's feel, let's fuck around
Yeah, he's sick, sick, sick and wrong
Your guilt, it never tires, it wants to bring down Babylon
Your want, desire, your urge is way too strong
It's never safe, when we're together, a supernova when we
collide
I start to shake, I start to tremble, I lose control when I come
inside
Clip my wings this angel's falling down
Yeah, he's sick, sick, sick and wrong
Let's go, let's feel, let's fuck around
Yeah, he's sick, sick, sick and wrong
Like the devil getting off
I wanna feel it all the way, all the way
Let's go, let's feel, let's fuck around
Let go if you want it, if you need it
It'll be alright
All that's forbidden come on and give in
For tonight, yeah, yeah, yeah
Clip my wings this angel's falling down
Yeah, he's sick, sick, sick and wrong
Let's go, let's feel, let's fuck around
Yeah, he's sick, sick, sick and wrong
Like the devil getting off
I wanna feel it all the way, all the way
Let's go, let's feel, let's fuck around
Yeah, he's sick, sick, sick and wrong
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
Let it go, let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go, let it go
4.No One Nothing
作詞:Myles R Kennedy
I sit alone and watch the lonely people
It's like I'm staring at myself
Because we're all the same
We all want the same thing
Everybody wants the other
Broken is the one
Put the pieces back together
Let loves will be done
Related by a constant craving that won't fade
Relief, it seems so far away
When you have no one
Then you've got nothing
Everybody wants the other
Broken is the one
Put the pieces back together
Let loves will be done
Everybody wants to know
Everybody needs to know
Everybody wants the other
Broken is the one
Put the pieces back together
Let loves will be done
Won't you put me back together?
Won't you put me back together?
Won't you put me back together?
Won't you put me back together?
Won't you put me back together? Yeah
Won't you put me back together? Yeah
Won't you put me back together? Yeah
5.Forfeit
作詞:Myles R Kennedy
Once again I must fold, fold
Give in, get out before I'm broke
What was at stake
Means too much, too much to me
Tremble as I get up from the table
'Cause I gambled foolishly
And I can't take the drama no more
So I throw down my hand and say
It's over, please forgive me
It's over, I forfeit so I won't bleed
Game played well for awhile
Just to hold, just to feel, just to smile
It felt so good to breathe again my angel
But reservation won't release
And I can't take the drama no more
So I throw down my hand and say
It's over, please forgive me
It's over, I forfeit so I won't bleed
The risk I could not afford to take
Eclipsed all the love that you made
And so I'll go, and so I'll go
And so I'll go, and so I'll go
I can't take the drama no more
So I throw down my hand and say
It's over, please forgive me
It's over, please forgive me
It's over, please forgive me
It's over, please forgive me
6.Suckerpunch
作詞:Myles R Kennedy
It's been about a dozen seasons
Since the boy became a man
Now he sees the forest for the trees
Now he touches just enough to feel
He's much stronger than he was just yesterday
Won't get suckerpunched again
Gotta sink so you can swim, you know?
You never really learn
Till you fall and feel the burn, you know?
He looks back and has to pity where he's been
And then he smiles and walks away
There were days when it hurt too much to handle
Foolish boy had to learn how to dismantle
All those memories that wouldn't seem to leave
Won't get suckerpunched again
Gotta sink so you can swim, you know?
You never really learn
Till you fall and feel the burn, you know?
There is a reason, some reason for all of this
Affliction is a contradiction to our happiness
Except to those who know
Those who know, oh yeah
Won't get suckerpunched again
Gotta sink so you can swim, you know?
You never really learn
Till you fall and feel the burn, you know?
Won't get suckerpunched again
Gotta sink so you can swim
You know, you know, you know, you know
7.Realign
作詞:Myles Kennedy
You've got me wrong
I'm not so hard, I'm not so strong
When this is said and done
I'll realign, I will resolve
He's the golden boy
He's the savior, he's the one
But there's another side
Waiting like a loaded gun
You've got me wrong
I'm not so hard, I'm not so strong
When this is said and done
I'll realign, I will resolve
Just a wonder child
That has come to save the day
The hero couldn't fly
So he beats his little face
The self-afflicted wants to quit
This hurts so good, I must be sick
The worst has yet to come
Tomorrow they will see
It hurts the ones I love
Much more then it hurts me
It hurts the ones
It hurts the ones I love
You've got me wrong
I'm not so hard, I'm not so strong
When this is said and done
I'll realign, I will resolve
Another blackened eye
Another nail to my skin
I swear this one more time
Let me pay for all my sins
The self-afflicted wants to quit
This hurts so good, I must be sick
The worst has yet to come
Tomorrow they will see
It hurts the ones I love
Much more then it hurts me
It hurts the ones I love
Much more then it hurts me
It hurts the ones I love
Much more then it hurts me
It hurts the ones I love
Much more then it hurts me, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
8.Always
作詞:Myles R Kennedy
Are you growing weary
As you dance all alone
In a room that's resonating
With an old familiar song?
Making you want the other
For awhile there wasn't friction
And alone you were at ease
But now and then there's something
That makes you want to be
Back in the arms but you can't take it
Always, always, seems to find you
What you want you don't need
'Cause she locks you down
So are you better off as one?
This prince with little purpose
Thinks he'll find it in the wings
Of an angel or a princess
But surely not a queen
'Cause that's about the only thing
That he knows for sure
Yeah, he's the king of contradictions
Who changes everyday
One minute he finds peace and love
The next he finds disdain
And it's way too complicated
Things will never change
Always, always seems to find you
What you want you don't need
'Cause she locks you down
So are you better off as one?
Always, always seems to find you
What you want you don't need
'Cause she locks you down
So are you better off?
Always, seems like you always
Seems like you claim to have so much control
But you're such a mess when you're all alone
Do you really wanna do it?
Have you washed out all the stains?
You seem crazy with temptation
And very, very dazed and confused
Who's buying your throne?
The stone inside you call a heart thaws
Just enough to beat
And familiar feelings came
And you surrendered to the needs
Of another, not another
Always, always, seems to find you
What you want you don't need
'Cause she locks you down
So are you better off?
Always, seems like you always
Why do you claim to have so much control
As you're such a mess when you're all alone?
Always, seems like you always
Seems like you look for any kind of reason
To justify a means to jump back in
In, in, in, in, in, in
9.White Flag
作詞:Myles R Kennedy
My guard fell for you today, now I will surrender
Take this prisoner, make him something better
Reach down and pull me up, don't let your captive go
'Cause love's wounds have made me weak
Can't stand up on my own
'Cause you bring me to my knees
For you I'd do anything
White flag flies above, this is what I've chosen
I'll change anything now that my pride is broken
'Cause you bring me to my knees
For you I'd do anything
The grace you give will always fill me up
And I'll savor every bit of that fortune
But if in time this love turns to dust
I pray I don't endure that torture
'Cause you bring me to my knees
For you I'd do anything
Can you show me how to feel again?
I'll do anything, you need my friend
And together we will always span time
For you I'd do anything
10.Believe
作詞:Myles R Kennedy
I believe in grace
That God redeems and saves
Someday I'll thank Him for it all
I believe this life
Is a gift you can't deny
Even though this world can be so harsh
It's so hard to believe in love
I believe getting close
Is a danger to broken souls
The risk is never worth the gain
It's so hard to believe in love
I believe that the pain
May never go away
Someday I hope you'll understand
It's so hard to believe in love
After all I've endured
From your cruel selfish world
It's so hard to believe
I don't believe in love
11.High
作詞:Myles Kennedy
Long open road
In the distance, I see you wait for me
You're my hope and my relief
Saving grace remove these rusted chains
Waited so long to be kissed by lips of God
I'm getting close around the bend is solace
Home, the sweetest place
I'll be redeemed I will be safe
High so very high and I feel okay
Nothing's in the way, so hold on
I'm taking off, I'm gonna fly
Yesterday's gone
I take a look for one last time
My stomach turns at the thought of that dark world
I won't go back, I'm pushing forward and it's good
High so very high
(I'm flying high again in liberation)
And I feel okay
Nothings in the way
So hold on
(I'm holding on again in liberation)
I'm taking off
I'm gonna fly
I'm gonna fly
12.Flatley's Crutch
作詞:Myles Kennedy
Wide awake, it's six a.m.
And you've got heavy eyes from heavy burdens
Of a loss so loud you never sleep
And you ask the Gods for their mercy
Let it go, let it fade
'Cause you're stronger now
That you've endured the pain
Let it go, let it fade
Don't run away
Looking up from below
Afraid you'll suffocate in the undertow
And you're desperate as you've ever been
So be careful now and don't you start caving in
Don't you run away
Don't you run away
Damn this situation
Your hero is a bottle and a line salvation
The world stripped your callous skin
And you're fucked up all the time
Worn heart, weak and tender
Is bruised and bleeds
And you wanna surrender
That's no excuse for you to go run away and hide
Damn this situation
Get off your fucking ass, if you wanna save it
Or sit and rot away of you, don't want to survive
13.Backslide
作詞:Myles Kennedy
Nothing's good enough
You gave the moon and the stars above
To the queen of pain, now you've gotta know
She'll take you down just like before
So don't go back there again
Your head may want it but your soul will break
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you'll be better off)
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you don't need her love)
Don't you backslide stay away
It kills you all the time
Her disease may take a while to heal
And find some relief, there's no remedy
To push away that entity
That tempts you when you're weak
Stay strong don't give in hold steady don't shake
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you'll be better off)
You can't get enough
(Don't go back you don't need her love)
Don't you backslide stay away
Just stay away
14.Carry On
作詞:Myles R Kennedy
He walked outside her world the other day
She knew that he would leave eventually
Like the rest he promised everything
She's heard it all before they never stay
Let your heart beat idle so that it can never break
And carry on, carry on
So you'll never have to hurt again
Walking as a loner is like walking with the dead
So carry on, carry on my friend
Wipe away the tears and don't you cry
It hurts like hell right now but give it time
May this lesson learned be your best
Love's not worth the risk and don't forget
Let your heart beat idle so that it can never break
And carry on, carry on
So you'll never have to hurt again
'Cause walking as a loner is like walking with the dead
But carry on, carry on my friend
Carry on, carry on
I don't ever wanna hurt like that again
15.Lyla
作詞:Myles Kennedy
Lyla in bloom, her innocence
And youth stripped away
Eighteen years old but she's lived
The life of sixty-eight
The heartache of a mother gone
And father she's never known
So she dreams of a better place
Scared and alone turning tricks
And getting stoned to survive
Vegas sex queen living in a world
That's so obscene in a dead end life
At the end of every tragic day
She says this to herself
If I can hold on I know
When I find my wings, I'll fly away
Over the mountains, over the pain
And I won't look back 'cause I've gotta get away from here
I've gotta get away from here
16.Mars Hotel
作詞:Myles Kennedy
I saw her in an empty bar
The smell of wine and cheap cigars
Trigger visions of her face to this day
We tried to dance for years to come
But two can't lead and waltz as one
We loved and learned
And learned to love
But it was not enough
Foolish pride got in our way
She could take my heart and soul
She could take my hand to hold
But why'd she have to take advantage of me
I tried to pay for all the things
She could want or ever need
Don't make me pay for all the past please
So now we're living far apart
I hope to God our paths don't cross
This may seem shallow
But her beauty makes me weak
I long to hold her once again
And reconcile and then give in
To realize that later on
We made the same mistake
Hold on to the lessons you've learned
She could take my heart and soul
She could take my hand to hold
But why'd she have to take advantage of me
I tried to pay for all the things
She could want or ever need
Don't make me pay for all the past
So much to tow, bogged down
With all the history to hold
The blame fell hard on me
Apologies were too short lived
She never really could forgive mistakes
She took my heart, she took my soul
She took my fragile hand to hold
She took advantage all the time
I'll take her back 'cause her love makes me blind
17.Overflow
作詞:Myles Kennedy
The dial tone is all that sings
It's raining hard inside and far away
What's so new?
This never-ending drama won't fade
My gut's a coil and my only drain
Will this never end?
It's breaking heart, it's bruising head
Why does the good go so bad?
All the joy is fading fast
The contradictions they are killing me
This pretzel logic makes her hard to receive
So fall out again and swallow me whole
Every thing's changed from blowing kisses to throwing stones
Night trades with day
And let dawn begin to break
Once again she knows me too well
How to heal, how to help
For a while I am saved by her smile
And all the harm comes undone
Just soon enough to stop the flood
The overflow should her charm not hold
It could drown me today
Must the river run so high, my love
You know your smile can
Dam the river that I have of you
18.Summergirl
作詞:Myles Kennedy
Flowers placed at the foot of the grave
Of the one we lost forever
Jesus please, let her soul rest in peace
And make way, a new angel's in Heaven
Summergirl went away
Everything has been dying
Summergirl went away
And the sun doesn't shine
All alone in the house we call home
And the walls still echo of her laughter
We'd dream of a world far away we'll never know
Since she left, I don't dream anymore
Summergirl went away
Everything has been dying
Summergirl went away
And the sun doesn't shine
Summergirl went away
And everything has been dying
Summergirl went away
And the sun, and the sun doesn't shine
No more
No, the sun does shine no more
Ever since you went away
Oh yeah
19.Fallout
作詞:Myles R Kennedy
I done it to myself once again
Breakin' off a piece for everyone
I gave in good faith, in you I believed
But these efforts to connect just segregate it given time
And walls grow taller not with bricks and mortar
But with distance and indifference
And you trust like children and you break like glass
Won't you please put me back together?
Just for a minute you were my best friend
What I gave you took away, give it back
Swimmin' in a sea of nameless faces
Good natured boy wants the world to be his friend
Is that the rock tied around his ankle
That will drag him down and drown him in the end
He needs a hand to hold, he needs a hand
Do you have one to lend?
And past to present and is all he seems to know
Understand that's the reason he's afraid to give again
Just for a minute you were my best friend
What I gave you took away, took away, took away, now
It just bleeds into one anymore
It's so sad but common throw this blanket over all
Is that the state of relations that I made for myself
'Cause it's cake and doubt and I won't trust again
And the fallout takes its toll
The fallout takes its toll on me and on you
When it settles will we ever be the same?
Time heals a broken heart but the scars they never go away
Just for a minute you were my best friend
Just for a minute you were my best friend
What I gave you took away, took away, took away
20.Shuddershell
作詞:Myles Kennedy
To me you are the warmest season
You have always been the brightest sun
These cliches will not be spoken
I'd choke on my lead tongue
So self aware it's a burden
Forever crippled by the tendency
Please evict me from this shuddershell
So I can speak
This is so frustrating
I don't know what I'm saying
This loss for words seems
To burrow deeper everyday
I'm so misunderstood
Cannot relay the good
That's stranded deep inside
'Cause next to you
I'm at a loss for words
Don't confuse this for confession
Or as a plea for sympathy
It's just a window to soul bound
By all my insecurity
21.12/31
作詞:Myles R Kennedy
If I had a drink, I'd drink it
If I had a drug, I'd take it
I'd do anything to peel away
The pain I feel right now
It's a mild 12/31
And snow cries hard onto flooded earth
But it can't compare to tear soaked beds
Shared by forbidden lovers again
One more time before we fade
Away and turn the page
One last time with a final kiss
Remember this 12/31
Now I'm the one who sits alone
It's my fault I can't hold my own
You see I'm broken down and bleeding
From a six month scab we peeled away tonight
In the year's last hour
The swan song will fade at last
And I will sing no more
So just let me go
22.Big Verb
作詞:Myles R Kennedy
She tries to find the weak spots
She tries to push through
To her, I'm not a criminal, she appears
And wants the sentence reduced
Now I need to restrain
Don't wanna give in
Let me pay for the crimes I've committed
Everything is caving in
From the weight of her world
My self evasing fortress is too weak
To withstand the self-assured
Just get out while you can
He'll take you away
Once it's gone, you'll understand
Will you please save her from myself?
Don't wanna hurt anybody else
So I build my castle high
Warning you to stay away
The war, I think it's over
But nobody really won
And as I stumble through the rubble
Then I see what kept her from getting in
A weary heart and the thickest of skin
Save her from myself?
Don't wanna hurt anybody else
And will you please save her from myself?
Don't wanna hurt anybody else
So I build my castle high
Warning you to stay away
Warning you to stay away
