Intro: You watched her suffer You watched him beat her And said it was none of your concern How could you do this? How could you do this? How could you do this, to her? All her friends, all her family You are just as guilty Soon it will be your turn to burn Verse: You are not just a witness anymore You watched him beat her till she hit the floor Every bruise, every scare, every once sided brawl Leaves a lasting impression Every time she says it was just a fall You could have helped her You could have saved her Just remember every time you look in the mirror You all left her bleeding and screaming in terror You all fucking disgust me You all make me sick So now I am going to make this memory stick So now I am going to make this memory stick Broken bones, Bloody nose Who knows if she will make it another day No help, No Exit Just get on your knees, close your eyes and pray I hope that your god will take your pain away Broken bones, Bloody nose Who knows if she will make it another day No help, No Exit Just get on your knees, close your eyes and pray I hope that your god will take your pain away

Memories 02:13
Intro: It wasn't always like this Her mother was her protector She was an angel, she was her savior She was everything to her She was everything to her father She lost her life one night Now every day is a constant fight Verse: We can’t live in the past But when times are rough It helps to look back To when they were happy To when they were family She’s bleeding dry With both sadness and angst She can’t wait to get out of this place Every night she cries for her mother To come back down and save her Verse: She feels that without her mother That no one will ever love her She doesn't know how beautiful she is How beautiful this life can be She just wants this pain to end She can’t see beyond the next bend But there will be a friend There will be love to share and send Just hold on a little longer You will be your mother’s daughter

Intro: She took off in the night To have a chance at life This is her breaking point She wants to leave forever But he knows she won’t This is her breaking point She wants to leave forever But he knows she won’t Verse: She couldn't take it anymore Life isn't life when you’re living on the floor She was done with the excuses She was done with the bruises Chorus: Her body could only take so much (She hit her breaking point) Her heart couldn't bare a touch (She hit her breaking point) Love, her eyes have never seen such (She hit her breaking point) Love, she has never seen so much (She hit her breaking point) She hit her breaking point Verse: She fell in love with a lost soldier He swore to always protect her Her heart nearly broke When they said she must return Love is powerful That’s the first lesson she had to learn Chorus: Her body could only take so much (She hit her breaking point) Her heart couldn't bare a touch (She hit her breaking point) Love, her eyes have never seen such (She hit her breaking point) Love, she has never seen so much (She hit her breaking point) She hit her breaking point Bridge: They spent every day together The beatings seem to pause He was her new savior But her father still loved the bottle So it’s just a matter of time Till he starts to hurt her again Till he starts to hurt her again What will they do then? Chorus: Her body could only take so much (She hit her breaking point) Her heart couldn't bare a touch (She hit her breaking point) Love, her eyes have never seen such (She hit her breaking point) Love, she has never seen so much (She hit her breaking point) She hit her breaking point Outro: She found love at her breaking point She found love at her breaking point

Verse: She left him, now he's so alone In this world, growing so cold Just this bottle, watching life unfold (She was his spark, she was his cure) So he'll drink, this down pure All he feels, is this anger Because she left, him all alone She still lives, in the eyes of their daughter Chorus: He curses reflections everyday He can't seem to get away From the ghost in her eyes Every time they look, part of his soul dies He is dead inside, nothing left to hide "Cut out my eyes so I can't see The ghost that will always haunt me" (The ghost that will always haunt me) Verse: She was everything, he'd do anything To get her, back with him There is nothing, he wouldn't give For the chance, to see her live He traded love, for these vices He has anger, now he's lifeless He feels no, shame or guilt He can't stand, the reflection of her ghost Bridge: "Cut out my eyes So I can't see The ghosts that always haunt me She will always be A dead reflection to me A mirror image Of her mother I can’t stand The sight of her I can't find it in me To ever love her" "Cut out my eyes So I can't see The ghosts that always haunt me She will always be A dead reflection to me A mirror image Of her mother I can't find it in me To ever love her" To ever love her Chorus: He curses reflections everyday He can't seem to get away From the ghost in her eyes Every time they look, part of his soul dies He is dead inside, nothing left to hide "Cut out my eyes so I can't see The ghost that will always haunt me" (The ghost that will always haunt me)

Verse: All these thoughts are filling his head Not a day goes by, that he doesn't wish he was dead Going back over everything she ever said And replaying the day that they were wed Pathetic, dirty weak old man Does, it, fill, your sad void To, beat, her, till she can't stand Is it helping you to watch her bleed Tell me old man, is this what you need Open up your chest, let it all sink in Just let it sink in Chorus: You fill your void, with those who still care You hurt her in ways that were never fair You should have grabbed a noose and chair Instead you grabbed a bottle and pulled her down by her hair When you meet your maker We'll see how filling your void was fair Verse: You built your kingdom of sadness On the bones caused by madness You are scum and a failure You don't get to take it out on her You waste your life living in the past But her scares are always gonna last You better change your act fast Clean yourself up, stop treating her like trash X2 All these thoughts are filling his head Not a day goes by, that he doesn't wish he was dead Going back over everything she ever said And replaying the day that they were wed Chorus: You fill your void, with those who still care You hurt her in ways that were never fair You should have grabbed a noose and chair Instead you grabbed a bottle and pulled her down by her hair When you meet your maker We'll see how filling your void was fair Bridge: We see the fear in her eyes Different bruises, and a different disguise We see the hate in your eyes Different bottle and a different surprise X2 The makeup can only cover up So much before they see right through They will see you They will see what you do (They will see you) (They will see what you do) Chorus: You fill your void, with those who still care You hurt her in ways that were never fair You should have grabbed a noose and chair Instead you grabbed a bottle and pulled her down by her hair When you meet your maker We'll see how filling your void was fair Outro: The makeup, can only cover up So much before they see right through They will see you They will see what you do The makeup, can only cover up So much before they see right through

Verse: Hand to the face Head meets the floor Blood falls off her cheek She knows tonight looks bleak Boot to the ribs Tip cuts the skin Pulls her by the hair These fights are never fair Blood pours across the carpet Eyes open, his hands are soaked in red She tries to turn and run He pulls her back, they have just begun (Tears flood from her eyes) (He makes her drown in it) Verse: His hands around her neck She's losing a pulse to check This is not the first time Broken she needs a sign He doesn't think he crossed a line He thinks this is somehow fine His hands around her throat Her pulse drops with every note Verse: There are no sirens coming (coming) There are no lights flashing (flashing) Wishful thinking that someone will save He just continue to dig her grave X2 She screams into the night For someone to set him right She screams for mercy But she can see he's blood thirsty Verse: Blood pours across the carpet Eyes open, his hands are soaked in red She tries to turn and run He pulls her back, they have just begun Tears flood from her eyes He makes her drown in it He makes her drown in it Outro: The devil went from the bottle to his eyes (Somebody save her, save her) She tucks her head down below her thighs (Somebody save her, save her) He throws her up and down the stairs (Somebody save her, save her) The bottle finished with a swim across her head

Verse: I joined for guidance I joined for answers I joined to find myself Pledged allegiance to a nation That turned its back on me To a nation that fed me lies Feels like this war paint never dries Too many times I've pulled the trigger and lost part of myself in their eyes This war didn't give me purpose It caused me to question If life is worth it (Was it worth it) (Was it worth it) Was it worth it (Was it worth it) Was it worth it To lose all that I was To support what this country and what it does I can't continue to watch men die For a war that wasn't mine to decide War founded by men who lie I have nothing left in me to give After this is over how can I live A normal life with kids and a wife Because I've lost myself I'm just another lost solider on the shelf (I have nothing left in me to give) (After this is over how can I live) (A normal life with kids and a wife) Verse: This gun beside me Is the only friend I see No more family Still I won't get On my knee And ask god To save me Your god can’t save me (Your god can’t save me) X2 Feels like this war paint never dries Too many times I've pulled the trigger lost part of myself in their eyes This war didn't give me purpose
8.
Verse: Finally home He paces empty streets all alone He's given up on everything Till something changes everything Chorus: He looks into her eyes (She looks into his eyes) The feeling they can't deny (This electric connection) Grows stronger with each second of perfection (Finally he has something to live for) They don't care what life has in store (They mirror each others love) (They see no clouds hanging above) Verse: (Finally home) (He paces empty streets all alone) (He's given up on everything) (Till something changes everything) He hears a sound He begins to look around Someone caught his eye Little did he know What he had found Her bags packed She's on the run They begin to talk Until they see the sun Verse: Beautiful, young and true (Love is the key in all we do) Handsome, young and pure (They are each other's cure) Chorus: He looks into her eyes (She looks into his eyes) The feeling they can't deny (This electric connection) Grows stronger with each second of perfection (Finally he has something to live for) They don't care what life has in store (They mirror each others love) (They see no clouds hanging above) Verse: (Finally home) (He paces empty streets all alone) (He's given up on everything) (Till something changes everything) He hears a sound He begins to look around Someone caught his eye Little did he know What he had found Her bags packed She's on the run They begin to talk Until they see the sun Both in search of solid ground There hands lock without a single sound (They can’t believe they found each other) (They refuse to lose one another) Bridge: The police came in to lay claim On the girl he loved To return her to the place she runs from He followed close behind Things were calm till her father began to unwind He interfered and instilled fear But he couldn't always be there He slept close by every night But something's are always out of sight But something's are always out of sight

Intro: One night he looks in through the window Catching one last plow Before her father hits the bar He races in to save her He says this time he's gone too far Chorus: He can't just be another witness He needs her to outlive this With or without her approval He knows what needs to be done You need to live to see a son You can't go back on the run Verse: He knows she can't keep living this way She says there's no way she can getaway He knows that he can't stay He makes her bed and lets her lay He decides tomorrow's the day Whispers she no longer needs to pray Because tomorrow the predator becomes the pray She's already sleeping, the night goes silent Verse: He says He doesn't get to touch you again He says It's time for this to come to an end He's not them (He’s not them) He can't just stand back and watch As she turns black and blue He's already decided what he must do Bridge: This is torment, this is torture How is she expected to endure He is here to turn the tables In her favor (He takes the place of her savior) (He is determined to save her) He says He doesn't get to touch you again He says It's time for this to come to an end He says He's not them X2 Chorus: He can't just be another witness He needs her to outlive this With or without her approval He knows what needs to be done You need to live to see a son You can't go back on the run (You can’t go back on the run) Verse: He says He doesn't get to touch you again He says It's time for this to come to an end He says He's not them He says He says (Well he says) She can’t go back on the run She’ll be just another victim She can’t go back on the run She’ll be just another victim (She won’t be another victim) He won’t be just another witness He needs her to outlive this (Outlive this) Chorus: He can't just be another witness He needs her to outlive this With or without her approval He knows what needs to be done You need to live to see a son You can't go back on the run

He's ready at the crack of dawn Ready to make him sorry for the things he's done He cleans his gun Counts every bullet but he won't miss once It's time to drown in blood He would do anything for love He wants to see him beg He wants to see him cry He will start to question But they both know why He must die Kicks open the front door He pistol whips him to the floor He can't wait to watch him suffer more This is everything he's been waiting for Kicks in his knees (He says) “I wanna here you beg please” Old man there's a reason your on your knees The only thing missing is a trigger squeeze He doesn't hesitate for a second He's been dying just to end it (He doesn't hesitate for a second) (He's been dreaming of this moment) He pulls the hammer back Waiting to see how he will react Will it be confusion or will it be illusion All I know is this is the final solution He's been dreaming of this day His love will no longer be the prey The torment ends today His finger squeezes the trigger The bullet exits the barrel Finally someone came to help her His body lays lifeless This moment is oh so priceless X3 He doesn't question what he's done It's time that she has won Now she will never need to run She can spend her days free under the sun He doesn't question what he's done It's time that she has won This war is finally over Or has it just begun? This war is finally over (Or has it just begun?) This war is finally over (Or has it just begun?) Or has it just begun? Her sick sad excuse for a father Has crossed to the other side X3 and I can't wait to tell her That her suffering is over And this is how much I loved her (He runs up the stairs) (Throws open the bathroom door) (And finds her bleeding out everywhere) She was bleeding out everywhere He tries to clot her arms But the razor blade cut them long She's far passed gone He tries to clot her arms But the razor blade cut them long

Hurting 04:01
Verse: In his head he replays walking up every step Every crack on the rails Crooked pictures of the perfect sails The door cracked Like the cement in the sidewalk No matter how he tries he can't block The moment he found her there Eyes wide with a dead stare So god damn innocent Things in life are never fair Things in life are just never fair But he failed to see her side Or to see the things on her mind the night she died She couldn't take it anymore Living life in such a way Brings to question why to stay It's not that she didn't love him But the light at the end was growing so dim It just became too much to bare Things in life are just never fair It just became too much to bare (Things in life are just never fair) Verse: We are just skin and bones The results of broken homes We bare our weight alone With nothing to call our own X2 Verse: No one is saying it’s right But when happiness is out of sight Depression swoops in quick She just wants you to understand This was never planned He wants to feel her hand Discover his one last time God please give him a sign please give him a sign We are just skin and bones The results of broken homes We bare our weight alone With nothing to call our own It's not that she didn't love him But the light at the end was growing so dim It just It just became too much to bare Things in life are just never fair (Never fair) (Things in life are just never fair) (I’ll see you there)

Hanging 04:25
Intro: (It’s hanging time) X3 Chorus: Grab a chair Grab the rope Tie a noose knot Don't stop Some people are never happy with what they got X3 Verse: He can't live With the fact That she’s gone So he took after her But he used a noose and a chair Nothing else made him care Is this what you think she would want He wants to die together So both of them can haunt This house masked in death The air grows thinner with every breath Rope around his neck He kicks the chair Life is never fair We mourn the loss Of a solider without a cross X2 Chorus: Grab a chair Grab the rope Tie a noose knot Don't stop Some people are never happy with what they got X3 Verse: (Seconds pass like hours) (Every minute in his head) Seconds pass like hours Every minute in his head Brings him inches to death With this rope around his neck He no longer wants the time To reminisce and reflect The art of choking yourself Won't long be missed But at least he's with her now They found there solid ground May you rest safe and sound (It’s hanging time) Grab a chair Grab the rope Tie a noose knot Don't stop Some people are never happy with what they got X4
