So, what's the nature of Nature Herself?
Since one day we all get ripped from the shelf
But, who wants to live forever?
I scream out, 'till I lose color
Well, if only the good die young
I'll be around for a long time
Yeh, if only the good die young...
Bring the lights down!
Here comes a blackout!
The world is beating me to death
All I can do is spit back
So cold and careless
The world spins off its axis
We've been out all night
And we'll never know...
Which way the wind blows
We've been up all night and we'll never know
We'll never know
I'll be screaming out my lungs
As the world turns
In being honest with myself
I'LL NEVER GIVE UP MY VICES
For all my sins I'll die slow
As the world turns
I'm just a wild man in a wild place
STAY TRUE TO YOUR IMPERFECTIONS
The world is beating me to death
All I can do is spit back
So cold and careless...
The world spins off its axis
And everything's just fine in the meantime
And as the days go by..
We're all falling to pieces
We've been out all night
And we'll never know...
Which way the wind blows
We've been up all night and we'll never know
We'll never know
I'll be screaming out my lungs
As the world turns
In being honest with myself
I'LL NEVER GIVE UP MY VICES
For all my sins I'll die slow
As the world turns
And even in the face of Hell..
STAY TRUE TO YOUR IMPERFECTIONS
THE WORLD IS BEATING ME TO DEATH
AND ALL I CAN DO IS SPIT BACK
SO COLD AND CARELESS
THE WORLD SPINS OFF ITS AXIS
AND EVERYTHING'S JUST FINE IN THE MEANTIME
BUT AS THE DAYS GO BY
WE'RE ALL FALLING TO PIECES!!!

...the sky rips open.
Another actor for the stage
To tell us what Hell awaits us;
What fire and what flames
"You're gonna have to kill us all"
A lone voice from the crowd
"We've had enough and it ends now"
"We've had enough and it ends now"
WELL, HAVE YOU HEARD?
LOVE AIN'T DEAD YET!
BUT IT AIN'T LOOKIN' GOOD!
I'VE BEEN LIVING IN A BRAVE NEW WORLD
AND ITS COLD AS HELL
AND IN DUE TIME
WE'LL HAVE TO THINK OF SOMETHING NEW
The World's ablaze
Everything is burning down
The voices through the ages;
Every word is drowning out
Its all to misdirect you
Or so I suppose
It goes around and around and around
Or so it goes
Just the loneliest man in the world dancing around an American flagpole
I spin around and around and around
Well, so it goes
I'm just the son of a son of a bitch
Bankrupt of all content
So, hopeless or heartless
We all fall apart regardless
And to the heartless, I know deaths coming for us all
And I ain't no aristocrat
Just a weed grown up from the dirt
So, hopeless or heartless
We all fall apart regardless

I think I had it coming
But you never know
You just never know
The cracks in this foundation;
Where the problems grow
The blatant discontent;
Here we go
The fear and resentment;
Let it grow
I WOKE UP IN HELL!
BUT I PULLED MYSELF BACK OUT NOW
AND WATCHED THE WORLD TURN GREY
DON'T TURN AROUND
I WOKE UP IN HELL
BUT I PULLED MYSELF AWAY
I ain't got no god to guide me
I still welcome strangers kindly
I feel something but I don't know
And I ain't no fuckin' prophet.
But I got a message for the world
I can't remember the last time I heard you say that you climbed to the top of the scaffolds at midnight and watched the world turn grey
THESE FUCKING LIMBS
WILL CEASE TO SWING
WHEN ALL THE HEAVENS ABOVE RIP OPEN TO LET ME IN

As I stand with a noose around my neck
I sing out my last breathe
And just fade away
With a smile on my face
I grant the rope my neck
Come and find me
I stand before you in disbelief!
I grant the rope my neck and just fade away
So go ahead and take the world
It means nothing to me
As I lay with my hands across my chest, they think I'm laid to rest.
But I'm singing with the dead
And I'm singing loud
As I sing all the woman they start to scream.
And when my body rises from the dirt, all the children flee
I stand before you, in disbelief!
I've been around a thousand times
But I aint gone yet!
I grant the rope my neck
And just fade away
So go ahead and take the world
It means nothing to me
If I die tonight
I'll sing with the dead
And when I close my eyes
I'll bid the earth goodnight
