MEMPHIS MAY FIRE LYRICS

1. Be Careful What You Wish For

Raise your glass to everything
You've accomplished on your own
I promise it wouldn't mean a thing tomorrow
We're all just headed straight for the ocean floor
On a ship without any captain aboard

This time you can't save yourself

We're all (we're all) just wasting time
Standing still waiting for
Something to happen, something to happen
But I think we'd all be fine
If everyone would just shut up and listen
Be slow to speak, shut up and listen

We have no idea what we're capable of
We have no idea what we're capable of
If only we would live in fear of knowing
Our own flesh and blood does not belong to us
We'd see everything a little different than before

Lose your pride

We're all (we're all) just wasting time
Standing still waiting for
Something to happen, something to happen
But I think we'd all be fine
If everyone would just shut up and listen
Be slow to speak, shut up and listen

What you want is never what you need
Is never what you need
Be careful what you wish for

Lose your pride
If it's what you come back to
Lose your pride
Realize this was never about you

This time you can't save yourself

We're all (we're all) just wasting time
Standing still waiting for
Something to happen, something to happen
But I think we'd all be fine
If everyone would just shut up and listen
Be slow to speak, shut up and listen

2. Action/Adventure

How can you just turn your back on everything you said you believe
It may not be real to you but it's real to me

Leave me out, I want no part of this
Open the gates and push me in
I'm not ashamed of who I have been
I'll never hesitate to say
I've seen what I have needed to see
Of this world in decay
These days reality is an antique
And I'm afraid that will never change

One by one they drop like flies
I've seen it right before my eyes
We're running out of time
So choose your side

Liars, liars
You went back on everything
It may not be real to you
But it's real to me

I'd rather die for the truth
Than live for a lie
So I'll live by faith and not by sight

Why don't you stop denying you're living a lie
And realize you were never alive
You can deceive them but I won't believe them
There's nothing you can do to change my mind
The path that I will take
Has been defined by the choices I have made
I will not let my heart get harder
Won't let my heart get harder

Liars, liars
You went back on everything
It may not be real to you
But it's real to me

It may not, it may not be real to you
But that doesn't change a thing

You liars, you liars
I put so much trust in you
Just to watch you turn your back and walk away
So lay down and rot

Lay down and rot
You're dead to me, dead to me
Just like the rest of them
You're dead to me

One by one they drop like flies
I've seen it right before my eyes
We're running out of time
So choose your side

Liars, liars
You went back on everything
It may not be real to you
But it's real to me

It may not, it may not be real to you
But that doesn't change a thing

Save your lies
This is the one thing you'll never take from me
You'll never change my mind
Oh I dare you to try

We are not the same
I will not be infected
We are not the same
I will not be infected

3. Vaulted Ceilings

You don't have to know me
To know that you're lost
Just know that I don't mind
I don't mind
And you don't have to see me
To know that I'm right
By your side
Just know I will never leave you
My child
Follow me follow me
If you have no place to go
I will guide you home
Follow me follow me
If you're at the end of your road
Just take my hand and never let go

Your vaulted ceilings are
Of no comparison to the sky
Won't you let me show you out

Follow me follow me
If you have no place to go
I will guide you home
Follow me follow me
If you're at the end of your road
Just take my hand and never let go

Be still and know
I'd never leave you or forsake you
Be still and know
I'd never leave you I'd never leave you...

4. Deuces Las Cruces

Living in-between
What's real today
And what is possible
For tomorrow
Now I know
This is our call
We have been shown
The path we will follow

It's easier said than done
We've lost more than we have won
The only thing that keeps our feet moving
Is your love

Oh
This is all that we know
Leaving our lives at home
To be the best that we can
And hope for a better tomorrow

We stand again, we stand again
To move towards your voice
Block out the noise
Block out the noise
Block out the noise

It's your heart that beats inside of our chests
We'll do our part and you'll do the rest
We'll go where you need us to be
We'll plant the seed

This is all we...
Oh
This is all that we know
Leaving our lives at home
To be the best that we can
And hope for a better tomorrow
Oh
This is all that we know
Leaving our lives at home
To be the best that we can
And hope for a better tomorrow

Take every part of me
Our lives are not our own
It's your heart that beats inside of us
Guide our feet and we will go

We will be your hands
If you will guide our feet
We will be your voice
You are strength when we are weak
So keep me moving

5. Gingervitus

I'm never slowing down
Until I'm right where I should be
This is not the life I chose
It was chosen for me
It seems like everytime I turn my head
Someones got something to say
Well I... I am not listening
As I move forward
You can crawl behind me
I've made it this far on my own
You can try to keep up
But I promise you won't
I swore to my family and my friends
That I'd do whatever it takes
To finish in first place
Say what you want but
You better remember this face
I'll do whatever it takes
To finish in first place
No one can slow me down I know
I know I will be holding on while you are letting go

Oh I think I'd hate you
If it were worth my time
But I wont waste a single second of mine
Just stand on the sideline
Mark my words when it comes time to sink or swim
I'll be on top and you'll sink again

I swore to my family and friends
That I'd do whatever it takes
To finish in first place
Say what you want but
You better remember this face
I'll do whatever it takes
You better remember this

Don't doubt me for a second. I'm nothing like the rest of them.
Don't doubt me for a second. I'm nothing like the rest.
Everything I've worked for
Is right before my eyes
I'm on top of the world
Try to pull me under
This is what you will find
When you sink, I'll swim.
When you sink, I'll swim.

I swear to my family and friends
That I'd do whatever it takes
To finish in first place
Say what you want but
You better remember this face
I'll do whatever it takes
To finish in first place
I swore to my family and friends
That I'd do whatever it takes

When you sink, I'll swim.
I'll be on top and you'll sink again...
