Album Lyrics
1. Disconnect
Behind closed doors, all you live for is taking
That double life of yours, has left your whole world shaking
Who are you fooling?
I know you hear the laughter
Don’t you hear people talking?
What is it you’re after? Uh
Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything’s real, so you just disconnect
Huh, the key to save yourself, if for nothing else
A tongue can never hold, the truth of silence is golden
With a broken heart
Underneath all of the pain
Do you stroke the pretty scars?
The hurt never ends, uh
Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything’s real, so you just disconnect
Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything’s real, anything’s real, so you just
Turn off your conscience
Leave the world outside
Nothing at all can ever make you feel
That anything’s real, so you just disconnect
2. The World Needs a Hero
An iron fist quietly sits inside the velvet glove
Take control, untouchable, just like God above
I can’t escape wrapped in red tape, what will become of me?
If I object then I defect, my country ‘tis of thee
(The White House is calling)
Tell them I’ll call them back
Just tell them anything
Yeah, get them off my back
The world needs a hero
Not that I would ever lie, but I have no choice
Words I say heard today, are not mine just my voice
(NATO is on line 1)
They want to talk to me
Tell them that I’m not in
Tell them that I’m not free
The world needs a hero
The world needs a hero
Phantom rule, the hidden jewel, who’s really in control?
On puppet strings, a nation swings, undermined by moles
(The UN is on hold)
Tell them I’ll call them back
Yeah, tell them anything
Just get them off my back
The world needs a hero
The world needs a hero
(Dave the White House is calling)
They want to talk to me
Tell them that I can’t be bought
Tell them that I’m not free
The world needs a hero
Ha, yeah! The world needs a hero
(The world needs a hero) The world needs a hero
Ha! I gotta gotta gotta find a hero! The world needs a hero
Oh-ahuh!
3. Moto Psycho
Responsibility, an anchor around my neck
Dependability, made me a nervous wreck
Accountability, I live from check to check
Volatility, neglect and no respect
Got my wheels in motion and I got a path to beat
I hit the road to I don’t know and look for Tough Shit Street
One-way ticket nowhere, there’s no windows on this train
Can’t see where I’m headed but I’m going there again
Moto psycho, everybody is a
Moto psycho, move it or lose it baby
Moto psycho, 100 miles an hour
Moto psycho, I’m a moto psycho, moto psycho
You know you can’t resist to tell me what I mean
You gave my mind a twist said that I was unclean
The actor runs the play and ad-libs in between
You’re all that I resent my thoughts were so obscene
Got my wheels in motion and I got a path to beat
I hit the road to I don’t know and look for Tough Shit Street
One-way ticket nowhere, there’s no windows on this train
Can’t see where I’m headed, but I’m going there again
Moto psycho, everybody is a
Moto psycho, move it or lose it baby
Moto psycho, 100 miles an hour
Moto psycho, I’m a moto psycho
One-way ticket nowhere, there’s no windows on this train
Can’t see where I’m headed, but I’m going there again
Moto psycho, everybody is a
Moto psycho
Moto psycho, move it or lose it baby
Moto psycho
Moto Psycho (Where I’m headed I don’t know) (100 miles an hour)
Moto Psycho (but I’m shoving off and I hit the road)
Moto Psycho, anywhere (I’m a Moto Psycho)
I’m going there (I’m a moto Psycho) I’m going nowhere
Moto Psycho (everybody is a Moto Psycho, move it or lose it baby)
(Moto Psycho) Time and time and time again I’m a Moto Psycho
Moto Psycho, 100 miles an hour
Moto Psycho
4. 1000 Times Goodbye
The tides of change pulled us apart, I feel a familiar pain
It seems like years since we’ve loved or even liked and that’s a lonely way to be
Drifting alone in a sea of agony, your face I can’t recognize
Don’t make this hard on us, I will miss you if you just go away
I did no right, did no wrong
Nothing left but wasted days
I regret you leaving
But I will never take you back
-You know what? It’s over
I just don’t feel the same way as I used to
We’ve been together forever
But it’s over, it’s over, it’s over
Goodbye, 1000 times goodbye
The thought never crossed my mind
That this would be my last goodbye
Let me put pennies on your eyes
And kiss your lips one last goodbye
My love, 1000 times goodbye
It seems nothing good is free, a good thing cost much more than the price
You were good but not that good, don’t kid yourself, now it’s time to break up
Drifting alone in a sea of agony, your face I can’t recognize
Don’t make this hard on us, I will miss you if you just go away
I did no right, you did no wrong
Nothing left but wasted days
I regret you leaving
But I’ll never take you back
-Don’t call me anymore, it’s just not
I don’t feel the same about you
It’s not as good as it used to be
Used to be, used to be
Goodbye, 1000 times goodbye
The thought never crossed my mind
That this would be my last goodbye
Let me put pennies on your eyes
And kiss your lips one last goodbye
My love, 1000 times goodbye
Goodbye, 1000 times goodbye
The thought never crossed my mind
That this would be my last goodbye
Let me put pennies on your eyes
And kiss your lips one last goodbye
My love, 1000 times goodbye
-I’ll always love you, but just not like that
-Like what?
-I wanna be honest with you, I met someone else
-You did what?
-And I really, I really love him, like I used to love you, remember the time that I told you, that I was going out of town for business? Well, I went to see him
-You know what? You suck!
Goodbye 1000 times -You’ll always have a special place in my heart, you know that, it’s just, I can’t be with you anymore, it’s over
Goodbye 1000 times -Things may not work out with him
Goodbye 1000 times -And if they don’t
Goodbye 1000 times -Then I’ll certainly call you
Goodbye 1000 times -You mean a lot to me, I still really want to be friends with you, I love you like you’re my brother
5. Burning Bridges
You give up on yourself
Somehow you got betrayed again
Thin ice and luck runs out
Who will you blame it on this time?
And due to a lack of interest in you
The light at the end of the tunnel was turned off
And something I’ve noticed
Beating you is thrilling me, I’ve got a secret for you
If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn’t be burning bridges all the time
Don’t close your eyes to injustice
Listen, being brave ain’t chicken shit
A man without any valor
Has nothing worth living for
And due to a lack of interest in you
The light at the end of the tunnel was turned off
And something I’ve noticed
Beating you is thrilling me, I’ve got a secret for you
If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn’t be burning bridges all the time
If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn’t be burning bridges all the time
If you took your own direction
If only you practice what you preach
If you follow your advice
You wouldn’t be burning bridges all the time
6. Promises
Two hearts that shouldn’t talk to each other, become close
In a town much like a prison cell
People speak our names on the street in hushed tones
Of the stories they’d tell, if anyone would listen, if anyone would listen
You come from a town where, people don’t bother saying hello
Unless somebody’s born or dies
And I come from a place where they drag your hopes through the mud
Because their own dreams are all dying
And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our name in rebel songs
The sounds of the night should make us anxious
But it’s much too late when the fear is gone
Uh! I will meet you in the next life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise
There’s so many fighting to get past the pearly gates
But nobody ever wants to die or get saved
Their intentions aren’t that good and I can smell the asphalt
That’s their personal road to hell being paved
And when we walk down the street
The wind sings our names in rebel songs
And it’s much too late when the fear is gone
I will meet you in the next life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise, uh
I will meet you in the next life, I promise you
Where we can be together, I promise you
I will wait till then in heaven, I promise you
I promise, I promise
7. Recipe for Hate… Warhorse
Each day my shortcomings pick my pockets
My faults were letters carved in stone
As meaningful to you as words written in water
I’m left to walk this world alone
In a broken mold they made me, the black sheep of the family
Worth less than zero, my opinion and room temperature I.Q.
I did something, now I’m nothing, always wrong with this or that
Poisoned with fear, watch it twist, my measly brain mad
Talk about me when my back is turned
Next time we meet, it will be to late
The memory burned in my ears of what you said
And now I’ve got a recipe for hate, taste it
Dark clouds on the horizon, make it hard to breathe
A walking mistake but every time I run away
I just come back for more, the choice is clear, I can quit
And fall on my sword or light a fire to see who runs or stays and plays the confidence game
I’m feeling quite invisible, I feel just like thin air
The truth taunts me, that nobody wants me
I see the earth below me, I watch it spin there
Does someone, somewhere, out there hear me?
Sentenced to walk in purgatory, my life is running down
I can’t believe what they’ve done to me
I’m left riding a warhorse
A man without a country
8. Losing My Senses
One man, speaking the truth, no one likes when it fits
So we tell soothing lies and betray our own lips
The uncivilized world and its people decay
One sweet breeze is defiled, sucking our breath away
Yesterdays answers
Has nothing to do
With todays questions
Life can only be understood, in reverse
But must be lived forwards
I’m losing my senses
I’m losing my senses
And we watch, as the living, all die
Contemplating if we should, ever open our eyes
If all that we touch, keeps turning to sand
We will cease to exist, until the last living man
Yesterdays answers
Has nothing to do
With todays questions
Life can only be understood, in reverse
But must be lived forwards
Life can only be understood, in reverse
But must be lived forwards, I’m losing my senses
Yesterdays answers
Has nothing to do
With todays questions
Life can only be understood, in reverse
But must be lived forwards
Life can only be understood, in reverse
But must be lived forwards
9. Dread and the Fugitive Mind
Let me introduce myself, I’m a social disease
I’ve come for your wealth, leave you on your knees
No time for feeling sorry, I got here on my own
I won’t ask for mercy, I choose to walk alone
What’s yours is mine and what’s mine is mine too
If you shake my hand better count your fingers
What if I do get caught? What if there is no judgment?
If I’m right I loose nothing, if youre right I loose it all
I ought to get caught because I’m doing something wicked
I’m guilty haunted by my fear and the only consequences are dread and the fugitive mind
You built walls to protect you, so no one will infect you
Pursued by those out there, that vanish in thin air
Come a long way to find, what you really left behind
You don’t know when the end is, but it’s coming fast
Whats yours is mine and whats mine is mine too
If you shake my hand better count your fingers
What if I do get caught? What if there is no judgment?
If I’m right I loose nothing, if youre right I loose it all
I ought to get caught because I’m doing something wicked
I’m guilty haunted by my fear and the only consequences are dread and the fugitive mind
10. Silent Scorn
(Instrumental)
11. Return to Hangar
Welcome to an empty fortress, a mighty wreck that once was proud
Ate alive by oxidation, abandoned by a crew of cowards
Navigation systems failed, computers crashed and they all fall down
Possibly I’ve seen too much
Hangar 18, I know too much
All the guilty paid the price, suspended by their broken necks
No one survived to tell the story, when foreign life forms resurrect
And military intelligence, is still two words that can’t make sense
Possibly I’ve seen too much
Hangar 18, I know too much
12. When
No one hears a word I say
And my prayers are never answered
But you’ll never see the pain inside of me
Stabbing me over and over and over
I trusted you and I loved you
And you spit back in my face
How could you do this to me?
When will you stop trying to hurt me?
I’ve walked a minefield for you
A career in Hell with you
I have made it through the things, others would surely die just watching
And the oath I take on this day is to know that you will be repaid
One day the the sun will die
And the night will crawl
Until then, until I see your world implode
I wish you death and suffering
Misery to spare, time to release your pain
Face the last enemy, I am the last thing you will know
The last thing you will see, I see your death surrounding me
I know you, yes I do, I know you
When no words are spoken and pleas are ignored
Your tears go unnoticed, will you say enough?
When prayers are unanswered and your calls are unheard
The pain cuts right through you, have you seen enough?
It all seems so deceitful and the verdict is lies
A black cloud of indecision, compromised your life
When judgement has failed you, when your own heart’s impaled you
Your wandering mind has destroyed you, will you ever know when ah?
When you give everything and the feeling is gone
All the giving is fake, did you fake enough?
When you take everything and you stay too long
When there’s nothing left, did you take enough?
It all seems so deceitful and the verdict is lies
A black cloud of indecision, compromised your life
When judgement has failed you, when your own heart’s impaled you
Your wandering mind has destroyed you, will you ever know when?
