CELLDWELLER LYRICS

1. Louder Than Words

Actions speak louder than words do
Actions speak louder

Shut up

So here we go again
You're opening your mouth
Before you think
Your insincerities are clinging to me like the stench
Of your last drink

Did I really hear you say you're sorry?
Hard for me to believe
I don't get how you're buying your own story
You're piss broke emotionally

I'm watching
Listening
The Volume's always the same

Actions speak louder than words do
I don't want to hear dead words from you
Actions speak louder than words do
I just want to see what you will do

Shut up

So here it comes again
A deafening parade of duplicity
Birds falling from the sky
The air is poisoned by the breath
You waste on me

The thought of you has become so disappointing
Hard for you to believe?
You never seem to fail to change the stories
You so effortlessly

I'm watching
Listening
The Volume's always the same

Actions speak louder than words do
I don't want to hear dead words from you
Actions speak louder than words do
I just want to see what you will do

Shut up
Shut up

Actions speak louder

It's time to play again
Deception is your game
But why would you want to wear that shame?
It speaks louder than words

Shut up

Actions speak louder than words do
I don't want to hear dead words from you
Actions speak louder than words do
I just want to see what you will do

The thought of you has become so disappointing
Actions speak louder than words do
(So here we go again)
Shut up
The Volume's always the same
Actions speak louder
Shut up

2. So Long Sentiment

Under this crushing wait
I'm sinking
It never goes away
The thinking
Echoes in empty rooms
Decaying
Alone to face the rest of me

So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
(Alone to face the rest of me)
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
(Alone to face the rest of me)

What the hell is wrong with me?
Why am I torturing myself?

Inhaling all these memories
Like a breath of fire sent from hell

Lead in my gut, not in my spine
I feel distracted all the time
Well lucky me I'm finally all alone
I'll - miss - you

So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
(Alone to face the rest of me)
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now

What the hell is wrong with me?
Why am I torturing myself?

Fixated on these memories
Like a prisoner inside a cell

Lead in my gut, not in my spine
I feel distracted all the time
Well lucky me I'm finally all alone
I'll - miss - you

So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
(Alone to face the rest of me)
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now

With nothing useful to say and no one to listen to it
Filling the deep with the pain, I slowly sink into it
Consider questionable things to try to get me through it
I've tried to push it away but I always give into it
Long for the taste of all the rain that finally helps subdue it
And washes this all away

Under this crushing wait
I'm sinking
It never goes away
The thinking
Echoes in empty rooms
Are saying
Time to erase the rest
...of me

So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
(Alone to face the rest of me)
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
(I'll miss you)

So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
(I'll miss you)
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
(I'll miss you)

So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
(Alone to face the rest of me)
So long sentiment
It doesn't
(I'll miss you)
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
(I'll miss you)

So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now
So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now

It doesn't matter now
It doesn't matter now

So long sentiment
It doesn't matter now

3. Eon

I'm pacing inside this empty room
Told to wait till my life's withdrawn
Uneasy, I'm waiting here anxiously
It's a waste and I won't wait another Eon

Endless night
Long for light
My head against this tomb
And pushing through
I'm pushing through
Facedown and pushing through

Trapped and isolated
Time is dislocated
Eternity is what a moment seems
When I can't feel anything

Erasing my final memories
They won't stop till my whole life's gone
Uneasy, I wait for normality
It's a waste and I won't wait another Eon

Endless night
Long for light
My head against this tomb
And pushing through
I'm pushing through
Facedown and pushing through

Trapped and isolated
Time is dislocated
Eternity is what a moment seems
When I can't feel anything

When life is gone without a trace
And hope is lost in time's embrace
I won't wait or hesitate; I'm pushing through facedown
I won't wait or hesitate; I'm pushing through

If time's a song, I want wait for its reprise
I am done wishing farewells and goodbyes
I won't let this place overshadow my birthright
I won't wait another Eon

Impatiently, I'm cutting through the earth in front of me
Bone on stone, blood and sweet married
Can't hear the voice that whispers fears
When my heart is pounding in my ears
All I see in my mind is not what I've left behind
But all the things I've been missing in that lost Eon

Endless night
Long for light
My head against this tomb
And pushing through
I'm pushing through
Facedown and pushing through

Trapped and isolated
Time is dislocated
Eternity is what a moment seems
When I am lost inside this dream
When I can't speak and I can't scream
When I can't feel anything

4. The Best It's Gonna Get

Sit down and shut up I don't want to hear a word come out of your mouth.
Why wont you listen to me?
You're dreaming - outside life's great but inside you're screaming
Its not how you thought it would be?
(Aimlessly)
Are you hoping for something?
(Patiently)
Waiting for some sign?
(Mindfully)
Its time to jump in or simply get the hell out
(Finally)
I think you better make up your mind
Your perfect world
Has been upset
And this is the best its gonna get
C'mon, get up shake it off and work your way beyond the fallout
But you still wont listen to me
You're screaming Bam! the smack of the truth wakes you from your dreaming
So inconveniently
(Irony)
It sucks that it was all for nothing
(Painfully)
Your plans were redesigned
(Mournfully)
Its a shame you didn't stand for something
(Finally)
Now its too late to make up your mind
Your life's been overrated
Hopelessly complicated
You can keep your fame and you can
Keep your money
Keep your beauty
Its a shame how long you've waited
Constantly constipated
So grab your knees and clench your teeth and
Reap your glory
Reap your glory

5. The Lucky One

Payback is overdue
So much for the I.O.U.
My head is stuck underneath God's thumb
I guess that makes me the lucky one

Stupidity is a constant trend
Murphy and I have become best friends
Hooray for dreams gone before they've come
Hooray for me I'm the lucky one

I am the lucky one
I am a comedian
the jokes on me, I'm the lucky one

A sinking ship, holes in my lifeboat
I'm sorry for choking but I've got a wishbone stuck in my throat
I never thought this could be such fun
Hooray for me I'm the lucky one

I tried to jump straight through the suck
Headfirst but now my freaking head is stuck
I'm feeling like a stupid schmuck
Lucky for me I don't believe in luck
Thank God I don't believe in luck

Rusted linings on my black clouds
It's raining piss, will somebody tell me what's that all about?
Wish on a Blackstar until it comes
It's here for me, I'm the lucky one

I am the lucky one
I am only human
I guess that makes me the lucky one

6. Tainted

It's not a question of why and if she'll make it
It's more a question of when and how she'll take it
standing out there alone completely naked
another secret's been kept and left her tainted

there's nothing more she can do to make them change it
She does the best that she can to rearrange it
there's still the question of how she's grown so tainted
a tattered canvas unfurls, watch as they paint it

she fought them bravely until defenses caved in
Pressing their teeth to her neck until she gave in
Now there's no question this girl is well acquainted
With suffering in a world that's left her tainted

Slowly fading and decaying
Please ignore what they're saying

She's at the edge of the world
She's there standing alone
She's the loneliest girl
And now She finally feels like she's coming home

She's just done what she's been told
Her heart is turning to stone
Here at the end of this girl
This Time She finally feels like she's coming home

7. I Can't Wait

This flame is coalescing
This fire's burning bright
I know I’ll get burned but it’s alright
(Waiting anxiously)

It’s too late to change direction
I’m fixed on her in my mind
Trade sense for sensation this time
(Takes control of me)

I can’t wait

I want to be with you right now anyway
Reckless, so what? I can’t wait to be around you

Take me, break me, right now - Why wait til hell to pay?
So dumb, so what? I can’t wait to be around you

Her skin is laced with poison
Her words are laced with lies
Affliction is waiting in her eyes
(Take them willingly)

I can’t control this compulsion
Like a moth into the flame
Her fiery embrace completes my shame
(Don’t let go of me)

We bathe in this denial
Lay bare the secret place
For just a little while
Submit to this embrace

Pain unfolding
Shame beholding
Don’t let go of me

8. Gift For You

Hello again
I still try to remember how this all began
You can't undo
It's okay though because I've got a gift for you

Poison in the well - I've got a gift for you
A special place in hell - I've got a gift for you
the perfect place to dwell - I've got a gift for you
and though they're not as nice as the ones you gave to me, I hope that they will do

Hello again
I still can't remember how this all began
One thing left to do
So I'm here now and I've got a gift for you

Poison in the well - I've got a gift for you
A special place in hell - I've got a gift for you
the perfect place to dwell - I've got a gift for you
and though they're not as nice as the ones you gave to me, I hope that they will do

Sickness for the skin - I've got a gift for you
a cancer for within - I've got a gift for you
an ending to begin - I've got a gift for you
and though they're not as nice as the ones you gave to me, I hope that they will do
