NUMBERS LYRICS

1. Introduction

[Instrumental]

2. Ice On Fire

Burn them down
These bridges you've built with ignorance
Boy, I tell you to step away
And realize that this one is a devil
She's a devil
Oh, I guess that you could call it fate
This never-ending process where you collate
From ways that you've been treated
Through the history of being defeated (yeah)

So get up, get out of this mess she made you clean up
I know, I know that she's taken everything
She's like ice on fire:
She's hot from a distance but cold to the touch
Burning the skin as she gets too close
Freezing your heart as she touches your soul

Welcome to this dark conundrum of a man
Where demons rule the mind and the surrounding land
They come and go as they please
Puppeteering elbows and knees
That must make her the queen (oh yeah)

I thought that you were made of gold
As if your facade never got old

So get up, get out of this mess she made you clean up
I know, I know that she's taken everything
She's like ice on fire:
She's hot from a distance but cold to the touch
Burning the skin as she gets too close
Freezing your heart as she touches your soul

Oh, when the time comes around
She'll make you bleed from your neck on down
As she waits for your blood to dry
She'll whisper in your ear as you die,
"You can't leave
Remember, it's you and me together
You can't leave
Remember, it's you and me forever"

Now I'm lying down with my palms to my face
Keeping warm with this blanket of shame
If only you could see me like this
I'd like to shine your teeth with my fist
Fist!

So get up, get out of this mess she made you clean up
I know, I know that she's taken everything
She's like ice on fire:
She's hot from a distance but cold to the touch
Burning the skin as she gets too close
Freezing your heart as she touches your soul

3. Bravery

It's hypnotizing, the way that they all stare at you
It's agonizing, my hypocrisy
Why must the mind be driven to attain that which is so unattainable
It drives me insane
Why can't the heart feel full without a thing

Oh it makes me laugh
Taking chances on all you have
Never mind the poor choice you made
All that's left is yourself to blame

If I had the choice, I'd end it all right now (it all right now)
I'd end it all
We'd end it all
If only I could murder love

Turn around
And walk the other way
And tell yourself that it's ok
Get past this mental state of selfishness and run away

As far as you can tonight
Run away from the temptation within your mind
Within your mind

Excuses, excuses
We've all heard them before
I understand this broken land where you are
We're all guilty of it
We've all been the ones up to our necks in obsession
But all I ask: Was it a mask, or was it real?

Oh it makes me laugh
Taking chances on all you have
Never mind the poor choice you made
All that's left is yourself to blame

If I had the choice, I'd end it all right now
I'd murder love
Murder love

4. Please The Senses

The weight
It wears me down

Every time I fake a smile I find that I'll eventually explode

Blame me not for what I am
Or what I have become

I swear that there is more to life than this
I chose the door that's chained and often missed
If you trace it back to when the stage was set
You will find that you were blind to your regret

Break!
Let the ground be uprooted
Wake!
Light it up, burn it down, stomp it out
This is the moment
Rid your mind of doubt

I'll admit that I was a coward
And my mind was weak and diseased
But don't expect me to stay
I'll carve my own path and I'll find my own way

We are the cogs in the machine
And we all keep it turning
The way we work is our demise
But the wick will keep on burning
We are the cogs in the machine
And we all keep it turning
The way we work is our demise
But the wick will keep on burning

Whether it's the man upstairs, or the man at his desk
I am the one being pushed around
Alone among the sheep that could never
Shake the ground

It's the only way you'll move these mountains
That shake the ground

So be the one that shakes the ground
It's the only way you'll move these mountains

5. Figured You Forgot

I see you denying everything that you heard me say
And when I pry you just tell me to go the hell away
This cycle started off slowly, but now it's getting
Faster and faster and faster and faster and faster

Oh no

My voice is unheard by your ears
If you can't hear me: You're alone

Don't expect me to listen
I said, don't expect me to listen if you won't do the same for me

Don't think I could say sorry with some sincerity
I would expect the same exact thing from this family
But when you do, it's fake
And I know why
You never really could when I looked you in the eye
I figured you forgot instead of telling me a lie
Me a lie

When it's over
You could be what you want again
When it's over
You will be free
So get it over with now

I know your reputation and image is always at stake
Oh, trust me that God Himself will judge thee
Rightfully, painfully, shamefully in front of the gates
It will be a massacre when you're awake

If you ate your words, you'd have no room to breathe
I don't believe in the choices that you've given me
But I don't really mind, I don't really mind

Trust in me
Believe
That everyone will find your thank-yous and apologies all a lie
Oh, I don't agree with the choices that you've given me
But I don't really mind
I don't really mind, oh

I know your reputation and image is always at stake
Oh, trust me that God Himself will judge thee
Rightfully, painfully, shamefully in front of the gates
It will be a massacre when you're awake

6. Oh Teh Monies

You won't make it out alive!
Unless you realize what's controlling you
But the urge, it's poison
The darkness in your heart will haunt you

This world will eat you from the inside out
Like all of the rest of us
We think we're in control, no doubt

I never saw it coming
I fell to pieces

You want to know how being addicted to you feels?
Like knives pressing and pressing
Cuts me from my waist to my heart, tears me apart
When the urge to succumb consumes my heart

This world will eat you
From the inside out
Like all of the rest of us
We think we're in control, no doubt

I never saw it coming
I fell to pieces
She dropped me from the sky and said,
"Welcome to Neverland"

Love, oh I've chosen love
I'll tear my own heart open to drain it of you

Oh, I do not remember telling myself I have wasted time
I wasted life

Oh please, ladies and gentlemen a round of applause for me
At least, a slap to the face or a kick to make me believe

Hello, my darling you know me too well
I don't even know myself
You don't even care at all

I never saw it coming
I fell to pieces
She dropped me from the sky and said,
"Welcome to Neverland"

[Interlude]

7. Give It Time

Where were you?
This world is taken from the thoughts of every man that's felt alone, alone

Nothing was there
Nothing was clear
And the madman I believed in would not lend me his ear
So let's rewind this a bit
And take it back to how it all began

Once upon a time
There was a boy all alone in the woods (all alone in the woods)
A lonely man desperately said,
"Boy, join me for there's danger ahead"
So they both decide that together they'll hide
From the monsters of their world

The boy had cried, "What danger's inside?"
The man said, "All my pain, my blood, sweat, tears," oh!

So he ran, ran from the man
Only to find himself lost again
So he ran

Don't tell me that there is nothing wrong
When all they ever did for me
Was use and abuse
I refuse to let them think they wrote this song
I refuse to let them think they wrote this song
