BANE LYRICS

1. Fuck What You Heard


So for the first four months it was bad
And certainly best for you that I didn't
Carry a gun or know where you lay your head at night
And it was not her as everyone had thought
But you, how easily you were able to turn away
From all that we were
Those things that you said
Admit it, your words they came as cheap as your breath
And with even less meaning, you selfish fuck
The next time that you tell me that you love me
Please look me in the eye so that I can see the twitch
And I will fight to keep my balance
Pray to hold my temper
Ten years of history traded away for a nickel and
The world's most crooked grin
You would not know 'nobility' if it jumped right up
And punched you in the face
And this rock won't turn to a butterfly
No matter how hard I squeeze
But I will face it while you look the other way
Face it
(Always facing it)
I believe that it's the only way
So many moments wasted on you and this rage
Waiting for the dust to settle
Or these tears to dry or the axe to fall
Something has got to give


2. Struck Down By Me


Calling you out for the last time
Come show your face for the first time
I've got a head full of questions
And a busted heart filled with lies
Won't spend one second on my knees
Will not be thankful for what I have not asked for
Or apologize for hating all that my eyes see
This solution is my salvation
Life is too slippery for books clarice
The time has passed for tricks like faith and grace
The beast laughs more and more everyday
Evil has never been afraid to show it's face
Just look to the front page
Look into the face of the starving
Or infants born with a disease they will never understand
For every miracle one million bodies
Piled high in your name
I'm calling you out
Come show your face
Stand before me
I will destroy you
Shed your mask and I will destroy you
The priests that serve so proudly in your sons name
As sick as any monster that walks the streets
And I'd walk away just to see you cry
Leading young boys into the hell
That they have preached against
Once
You tell me how they can ever trust in
Cause loving words are only words when loving words mean nothing
One single word that you have said
Your empire has been built on the guilt of the meek
To your heart...And I walked away
So many lives imprisoned
And I haven't seen, seen that smile for a while
And a shame that spins out of control in your name
And now I'm choking on my self-segregated heart
Young Tommy who finds you only in his father's shiny handguns
Marches his truth straight into school
Points the barrel and pulls the trigger
And bodies turn into colored rain
Tell me a story I can believe
Look me in the eye
And tell me a story that you believe


3. The Paint Chips Away


We just can't go on
No not like this
The center will not hold
So many voices with so much to say
But frozen when it's time to lift a finger
And fix what has been broken for so long
You have not taken one true step towards leaving the
Pettiness that you claim that you left behind
This scene that that you are such a proud part of
Buckles when you're ego strikes
Sinks under the weight of your apathy
Your actions erase the good in your words
And your compassion's as empty as your pride
It's not enough the things that you say
It's how you live your life day by day
Forget what you are
I wanna know who you are
It doesn't matter what you call yourself
It's how you carry yourself
Are you really here to help?


4. My Cross To Bear


There are no words
Nothing can ever be said
To make sense of the exit that you made
Or this sadness forced on our lap
Left us struck with these haunting questions
Where are all the beautiful answers
Where is the button to push that takes it all back
I should have been there
Crossed burning bridges to meet you
Where was I when you ran out of walls to punch
And I know that you wouldn't want us to blame ourselves
Or anything but the world
And that your actions well they were never tender
But still nothing prevails like the emptiness
Of a world forever without you
I can still see the way that your teeth showed
When you smiled
Hear the sound of your guitar
I think of the things that should have given
You the strength to go on
The horror of our last words
Still ringing in my ears
Anything we would've done
Anything to keep you around
Sometimes you just can't keep
The madness at bay alone
We have all been there before
No one makes it here alone


5. What Makes Us Strong


Reasons not rules
Six simple words
A wise man sang to me
So many years ago
Stood by me through
All of life's changes
The only advice that I have to give
REASONS NOT RULES MAKE US STRONG


6. Can We Start Again


Can we start again
Go back to what it meant back then
Open minds and open hearts
The things that set us apart
Was it more than words
And do they still apply
And do you still believe
Well so do I
I was a 15 year old kid
With nowhere to fit in
I just wanted to skate
Listen to my Suicidal tape
When someone told me about a place
Where the strange were accepted
And judged by what's inside
A scene of truly open minds
Somewhere, somehow, everything has changed
Look at what we've gotten ourselves caught up in
The same mindless clicks
The same high school shit
All the walls you scream about breaking down
I've watched you build brick by brick
Do you still believe-I do
Look beyond the 3 chords that fill your lives
Look beyond the gossip and the lies
Beyond the dullest of outsides
Look beyond
Try harder
See what's inside this burning in my heart
Born under the same songs that you know
But our blood will never blend
Until you let those doors go


7. I Once Was Blind


Welcome to the day that you opened your eyes
So wide that it nearly took your life away
And you are finally seeing all the things
That you have been missing
Could it really be that you have been so blind
Or just merely looking the other way
Today the world comes into focus
And the hardest truth that you have ever known
Grabs you by the throat
There never was a light at the end of the tunnel
The tunnel you have been trapped in all these years
And one simple answer cuts down all of your questions
And two and two suddenly makes five
And it's a revelation that you can no longer hide from
You are falling, sinking, drowning, burning in lies
(There is nothing left for you to hold onto)
You've found the landmine with your foot
And your world is about to flip upside down
Falling lower than you've ever been
You will have to fight to ever get up again
It's uglier than it's ever been
This World
But it's yours now and you finally know
What you are up against
It's up to you to take it
This World
You stick out your tongue and taste the rain
Because there will be no going home again
This is the hollow point
The truth that you've been searching for
All these long years
All the horror that you've uncovered
With you now and forever more
The bullet that tears right through you
Leaves you broken
Scarred for life
All the lies that your teachers told you
All the things your parents said
Soaked through with gasoline
Gun shots echo through your head
This world will run right through you
This world will run you through


8. Place In The Sun


Would you believe that the last time these skinned knees healed
It no longer amazed me like it used to and I hate to say it but...
Things they suddenly made a simple kind of sense
The horror, the mad ness, the helplessness of it all
That there is indeed beauty as well as blood
In life's ocean of disasters
These shattered dreams and dead promises
Will not stand forever like graves
But one day grow legs and slowly walk away
In between the tornadoes and stomped on untrue love letters
There will be those shining gentle moments
Like the last page in your favorite book or
How badly I miss my mother
But how much I've come to love my father
And you scream that it's been forever since
You witnessed blue skies
But trust me when I say that yes
This too will pass
It will quiet
Literally nothing stays the same
Just look to the clouds and you shall see
Always changing forever moving on again and again
Life's one worthwhile guarantee


9. Her Lucky Pretty Eyes


How did I not know that your words meant less than dust
And were born of an idea that you had heard but having
Nothing in common with truth or with trust
Everything that you swore so quickly snatched away
And me left without a heart and nothing to hold onto
But still so much to feel
While my house burned down you didn't bring water but gasoline
And all I ever hated rose right up and bled through you
Now I can only regret every moment that we spent
Every second we shared only makes matters worse
For I have seen the truth behind the sparkle in your eyes
I finally see the ugly behind your pretty disguise
Now I can't stop wishing that you had never looked my way
And you have the nerve to ask me why
Why the fuck did you tell me about magic and then
Show me the strings
Why did you whisper that your heart was in my teeth
When that was the first place that you kicked me as
I lay helpless on the ground
Yes all that once was has turned to the blackest of hate
Instead of wishing you the best
I will be rooting for you to fall
As I learn the most painful lesson of all
That a lie is a lie is a lie is a lie
I don't give a fuck how pretty it's disguise


10. A Bridge Too Far
