"45"

Send away for a priceless gift

One not subtle, one not on the list

Send away for a perfect world

One not simply, so absurd

In these times of doing what you're told

Keep these feelings, no one knows

What ever happened to the young man's heart

Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

[Chorus:]

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,

Swimming through the ashes of another life

No real reason to accept the way things have

changed

Staring down the barrel of a 45

Send a message to the unborn child

Keep your eyes open for a while

In a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one

else

There's a piece of a puzzle known as life

Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight

What ever happened to the young man's heart

Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

[Chorus]

Everyone's pointing their fingers

Always condemning me

And nobody knows what I believe

I believe

[Chorus]

And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,

And I'm swimming through the ashes of another

lifeThere's no real reason to accept the way things

have changed

"Adrenaline"

[Verse 1:]

Give me the wheel, so we can move a little faster

I make it real, I'm not a glorious disaster

What part of living says you gotta die?

I plan on burning through another nine lives

One more for measure, that's ten for the soul

That never sleeps, so are you ready to go?

[Chorus:]

Bloodshot against the clear blue sky!

Tick tock, I think the well is running dry!

My my!

I can't lie!

I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline

Dead scared 'cause I'm fearless in the head!

Bang! Bang! 'Cause the needle's in the red!

My my!

I can't lie!


My my!

My sweet adrenaline!

[Verse 2:]

Crack in the vision, who said the motivation's all

wrong?

Not your decision, the detonation of a time bomb

Which way is up, when your high is low?

It's time to find it are you ready to go?

[Chorus:]

Bloodshot against the clear blue sky!


My my!

I can't lie!




My my!

I can't lie!I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline!

My my!


[Bridge:]

My my, I just can't lie,

It's the speed and the sound that I'm dying to try

My my, I just can't lie,

It's the love of the chase that created the ride!

[Chorus:] Bloodshot against the clear blue sky!


My my! (My my!)

I can't lie! (Can't lie!)




My my! (My my!)



My my! (My my!)



My my! (My my!)

"Amaryllis"

In a while now I will feel better

I’ll face the weather before me

In a while now I’ll race the irony

And buy back each word of my eulogy

All the uninvited tragedies

Step outside

Ask yourself now

Where would you be without

Days like this

When you finally collide

With the moment you can’t forget

So do I remind you of

Someone you never met

A lonely silhouette

And do I remind you of

Somewhere you wanna be

So far out of reach

Ohhh I wish you’d open up for me

Cause I wanna know you

Amaryllis

Bloom

Stay a while now

Undress your colors

Cause they’re like no othersI’ve ever seen

I could get used to your company

Step inside

Ask yourself now

Where would you be without

Days like this

When you finally collide

With the motions you can’t resist

So do I remind you ofSomeone you never met

A lonely silhouette



So far out of reach



Amaryllis

In a while now

I will feel better

I will be better

So do I remind you of

Someone you never met

A lonely silhouette



So far out of reach



Amaryllis

Bloom

Amaryllis

"Black Cadillac"

I got a mind full of aggravation

I can take it if I just relax

I say a prayer for the motivation

Keep me solid so I stay on track

But there’s a monkey on my back

And it don’t know how to act

Got me climbin’ up and down the walls Now I gotta make a choice

Maybe then I can rejoice

‘Cause I'm sick of all the same withdrawals

I got a mind full of inspiration

And I ain't livin’ in the past no more

So feast your eyes

On the big, blue sky

And wave bye bye

From a long, black Cadillac

Pay the price

Gotta roll those dice

And wave bye bye


From a long, black Cadillac (Cadillac)

I hear the sirens of redemption

Screamin’ out like never before

And there's a roadblock in every direction

But I ain't stoppin’ ‘cause I'm in control

And there’s a monkey on my backSo I gotta set a trap

‘Cause I'm sick of all the same withdrawals

I got a mind full of inspiration

And I ain't livin’ in the past no more

So feast your eyes


And wave bye bye


Pay the price

Gotta roll those diceAnd wave bye bye


Ridin’ high in a long, black Cadillac


In a long, black Cadillac

I ain’t living in the past no more

I ain’t living in the past no more

Screaming out like never before

Screaming out like never before

(1 2, 1 2 3 4)

So feast your eyes


And wave bye bye


Pay the price

Gotta roll those dice

And wave bye bye


Feast your eyes



Feast your eyes



Feast your eyes



Feast your eyes

"Breaking Inside"

I caught a chill

and it's still frozen on my skin

I think about why

I'm alone, by myself

No one else to explain

how far do I go?

No one knowsIf the end is so much better, why don't we just live

forever?

Don't tell me I'm the last one in line

Don't tell me I'm too late this time

[Chorus]

I don't want to live

To waste another day

Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made

Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside

I don't want to fall and say I lost it all

'Cause baby there's a part of me to hit the wall

Leaving pieces of me behind

And I feel like I'm breaking inside

Out here, nothings clear

Except the moment I decided to move on and I

ignited

Disappear into the fear

You know there ain't no comin' back

When you're still carrying the pastYou can't erase, separate

Cigarette in my hand,

Hope you all understand

I won't be the last one in line

I finally figured out what's mine

[Chorus]



Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made'Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside






I won't be the last one in line,

I finally figured out what's mine

[Chorus]



Underneath the shadow of mistakes I made

'Cause I feel like I'm breaking inside






And I feel like I'm breaking,

I feel like i'm breaking inside

"Bully"

[Intro]

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

[Verse 1]

It’s 8 A.M. This hell I’m in

Seems I’ve crossed the line again

For being nothing more than who I am

So break my bones

And throw your stones

We all know that life ain’t fair

But there is more of us

We’re everywhere

[Pre-Chorus]

We don’t have to take this

Back against the wall


We can end it all

[Chorus]

All you’ll ever be

Is a faded memory of a bully

Make another joke

While they hang another ropeSo lonely

Push him to the dirt

‘Til the words don’t hurt

Can you hear me?

No ones gonna cry

On the very day you die

You’re a bully

Hey!

Hey!

[Verse 2]

Think it through

You can’t undo

Whenever I see black and blue

I feel the past

I share the bruise

With everyone

Who’s come and gone

My head is clear

My voice is strong Now I’m right here to right the wrong

[Pre-Chorus]


Back against the wall


We can end it all

[Chorus]


Is a faded memory of a bully

Make another joke

While they hang another rope

So lonely



Can you hear me?

No ones gonna cry


You’re a bully

[Solo]

[Bridge]

It’s 8 A.M.!

The Hell I’m in!

Your voice is strong!

Now right the wrong!

[Chorus]


Is a faded memory of a bully.Make another joke

While they hang another rope

So lonely.



Can you hear me?

No ones gonna cry


You’re a bully

[Repeat Chorus]

Hey!


7/26

"Call Me"

Wrap me in a bolt of lightning

Send me on my way still smiling

Maybe that's the way I should go,

Straight into the mouth of the unknown

I left the spare key on the table

Never really thought I'd be able to say

I merely visit on the weekendsI lost my whole life and a dear friend

I've said it so many times

I would change my ways

No, nevermind

God knows I've tried

[Chorus]

Call me a sinner, call me a saint

Tell me it's over I'll still love you the same

Call me your favorite, call me the worst

Tell me it's over I don't want you to hurt

It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way

I finally put it all together,

But nothing really lasts forever

I had to make a choice that was not mine,

I had to say goodbye for the last time

I kept my whole life in suitcase,

Never really stayed in one place

Maybe that's the way it should be,You know I live my life like a gypsy

I've said it so many times

I would change my ways

No, nevermind

God knows I've tried

[Chorus]



Call me your favorite, call me the worstTell me it's over I don't want you to hurt

It's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way

I'll always keep you inside, you healed my

Heart and my life... And you know I try.

[Chorus]



Call me your favorite, call me the worst

Tell me it's over I don't want you to hurtIt's all that I can say. So, I'll be on my way

So, I'll be on my way

So, I'll be on my way

"Cut The Cord"

(Freedom, la la la la)

(Freedom, follow me)


(Freedom) Cut it!


(Freedom, follow me)

(Freedom, la la la la)(Freedom)

Let me tell you, I'm vicious

Not pass-aggressive

I got my finger on my pulse, staring straight into a

hole and I get it

And I'm a savage

It's automatic

I got a way of making noise, the power to destroy

with no static

Cause victory is all you need

So cultivate and plant the seed

Hold your breath and count to ten, just count to

ten

I'm gonna make it rain, so ring the bell

I know it all too well

Switchblade on the edge of your wrist

Can I get a witness? (Witness)

Cause agony brings no rewardFor one more hit and one last score

Don't be a casualty, cut the cord


(Freedom, follow me) Cut the cord


(Freedom)

You gotta feel courage

Embrace possession

If it was easier to shatter everything that evermattered

But it's not, because it's your obsession

Be a fighter, backbone, desire

Complicated and it stings, but we both know what

it means

And it's time to get real and inspired




ten, just count to ten





Cause agony brings no reward

For one more hit and one last score


Cut it

Cut it




ten





Cause agony brings no rewardFor one more hit and one last score




(Freedom, follow me) Cut the cord


(Freedom, follow me, me, me)


9/26

"Dangerous"

I could stand behind my barricade

Do what I'm told and be afraid to change

While isolated by the mainstream

With the current up against me

Well maybe if my arms were ten feet tall

I could finally reach that crystal ball

‘Cause I still find inside

There's something braver

And I, I won't be, I won't be

The silent damnation

I will never be voiceless

My weapon of choice is

I'd rather be dangerous

I won't be left defenseless

As God as my witness


Dangerous

I'm not making conversation

But I'll state my observations

Well I could buy my faith like a plot in the ground

But I was never lost and I never had a doubt

‘Cause I still find It's not my imagination

And I, I won't be, I won't be

The silent damnation


My weapon of choice is





Dangerous

Everybody

Is somebody

And anybody is you

I own my story

I won't say sorry

And neither should you

I will never be


My weapon of choice isI'd rather be dangerous




Everybody

Is somebody

And anybody is you






Dangerous

"Enemies"

Listen up, there's not a moment to spare

It's quite a drop from the top. So how you feeling

down there?

It’s a cold, cruel, harsh reality

Got stuck here with your enemies

Who do you think you are,Tearing us all apart?

Where did you think you could go?

'Cause everyone already knows,

It’s twenty to one

Yeah, so you better run!!!

You got the world on its knees

You’re taking all that you please

You want more, you want more

But you’ll get nothing from me

You’re like the burden we bear

You’re all the hate that we share



We're enemies, enemies

You started something that you just couldn't stop

You turned the ones that you love into the angriest

mobAnd their one last wish is that you pay for it

And there's no way you're getting out of this

Who do you think you are

Tearing us all apart?


'Cause everyone already knows,


Yeah, so you better run!!!

You got the world on its knees

You’re taking all that you please



You’re like the burden we bear




We're enemies, enemies, enemies

You’re all the hate that we share You want more, you want more


We're enemies, enemies, enemies

"Fly From The Inside"

Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders


On my shoulders

All alone I pierce the chain

And on and on the sting remains

And dying eyes consume me now

The voice inside screams out loud

[Chorus:]

I am focused on what I am after

The key to the next open chapter

Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky

Long live that day that I decided to fly from the

inside

Every day a new deception

Pick your scene and take direction

And on and on I search to connect

But I don't wear a mask and I have no regrets

I am focused on what I am after

The key to the next open chapter

[Chorus]

I can't escape the pain

I can't control the rage

Sometimes I think that I'm gonna go insaneI'm not against what's right

I'm not for what's wrong

I'm just making my way and I'm gone


[Chorus x2]


13/26

"For My Sake"

[Verse 1:]

I remember like yesterday

You had a dream in your eyes and a smile on your

face

And I'm missing those days again, yeah I'm

missing those days again

And I forgot what really got in the wayMaybe the sun that wouldn't shine should be

taking the blame

Cause its raining on me again, yeah its raining on

me again

[Bridge:]

A paradox

The key you dropped

A manifest

For what you lost, was me

For my sake please...

[Chorus:]

Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up

Quit making a scene, enough's enough.

Let's be honest, your promise, was never meant to

last

So I'm taking you on, I'm calling you out.

There's nothing left for us here now.

Let's be honest, I promise, I'm never lookin' back

for my sake.For my sake.

[Verse 2:]

Tell me something that's poetic at best

Make me believe there was a time that you weren't

like the rest

And I'll never ask you again, and I'll never ask you

again

For all the moments and the memories

No one could ever say we never had a history

But I'm leaving that all behindAnd there is nothing gonna change my mind

[Bridge:]

A paradox

The key you dropped

A manifest


For my sake please...

[Chorus:]




last

So I'm taking you on, I'm calling you out.

There's nothing left for us here now.


for my sake.

For my sake.

[Bridge:]

The key you dropped

For my sake

Please...Stop slowing me down

Stop holding me up

Stop slowing me down

"If You Only Knew"

If you only knew

I'm hanging by a thread

The web I spin for you

If you only knew

I'd sacrifice my beating

Heart before I'd lose you

I still hold onto the lettersYou returned

I swear I've lived and learned

[Chorus]

It's 4:03 and I can't sleep

Without you next to me I

Toss and turn like the sea

If I drown tonight, bring me

Back to life

Breathe your breath in me

The only thing that I still believe

In is you, if you only knew

If you only knew

How many times I counted

All the words that went wrong

If you only knew

How I refuse to let you go,

Even when you're gone

I don't regret any days I

Spent, nights we shared,Or letters that I sent

[Chorus]





Back to life



In is you, if you only knewIf you only knew

If you only knew

I still hold onto the letters

You returned

You help me live and learn

[Chorus]





Back to life



In is you, believe in is you

I still believe in you

Oh, if you only knew

"I'll Follow You"

[Verse 1:]

If I could find assurance to leave you behind

I know my better half would fade

And all my doubt is a staircase for you

Opened out of this maze

The first step is the one you believe inThe second one might be profound.

[Chorus:]

I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm

Don't worry I'll keep you warm.

I'll follow you down while we're passing through

space

I don't care if we fall from grace

I'll follow you down

[Verse 2:]

You can have the money and the world

The angels and the pearls

Even trademark the color blue

Just like the tower we never built

In the shadow of all the guilt

When the other hand was pointed at you

Yeah the first step is the one you believe in

And the second one might be profound.

[Chorus:]

I'll follow you down, through the eye of the storm


I'll follow you down, while we're passing through

space


I'll follow you down...

...to where forever lies

Without a doubt I'm on your side

There's nowhere else that I would rather beI'm not about to compromise,

Give you up to say goodbye

I'll guide you through the deep

I'll keep you close to me!

[Chorus:]

I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm


I'll follow you down while we're passing through

space


I'll follow you...

If I could find assurance to leave you behind

I know my better half would fade

I'll follow you down.

"I'm Not Alright"

All dressed up

In a white straitjacket

Shut your mouth

No, you can't have it

Paper airplanes

Open windowHere today

And gone tomorrow

[Chorus]

I like to stare at the sun

And think about what I've done

I lie awake in my great escape

I like crossing the line

And slowly losing my mind

Are you ok

'Cuz I feel fine

Maybe it's me

I'm just crazy

Maybe I like that I'm not alright

All messed up

And slightly twisted

Am I sick or am I gifted

Paper airplanesOpen window

Here today

And gone tomorrow

[Chorus]





And slowly losing my mindAre you ok

'Cuz I feel fine

Maybe it's me

I'm just crazy


Woh

I don't care if you apologize

I can't lie

Woh

I can't lie





And slowly losing my mind

Are you ok

'Cuz I feel fine

Maybe it's me

I'm just crazy

"Miracle"

[Verse 1]

Say it once, tell me twice

Are you certain I’m alright?

Just a sign, to remind me

That tomorrow’s worth the fight

Ever changing the storyline that keeps me alive

So make a wish, and say…

Give me life, give me love

Scarlet angel from above

Not so low, not so high

Keep it perfectly disguised

[Pre-Chorus]

Every changing the storyline that keeps me alive

My Mona Lisa’s making me smile

Right before my eyes!

[Chorus]

Take another look

Take a look around

It’s you and me

I’ll catch you while I can

Cause all we are is all I am

I just want you to see

"My Name (Wearing Me Out)"

[Verse 1]

My name is worthless like you told me I once was

My name is empty cause you drained away the

love

My name is searching since you stole my only

soul

My name is hatred and the reasons we both know

Worthless, empty, searching, hatred

Well who am I right now?

[Chorus]

You’re fuckin’ wearing me out!

You’re always dragging me down!

You’re the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind

I don’t need a gun to take back what’s mine

It’s over

It’s over now

You’re done wearing me out

[Verse 2]

My name is screaming like the sound of your

heart failing

My name is loco like the motive that betrayed me

Screaming, loco, don’t say you know

Who I am right now

[Chorus]





It’s over

It’s over now


You’re wearing me out [x6]

[Bridge]

You’ll be ancient history

But who am I right now?

My name is revenge and I’m here to save my

name

[Chorus]





(You’re fuckin’ wearing me out)

It’s over

(You’re always dragging me down)

It’s over



It’s over

It’s over now

"Oblivion"

Time doesn't erase the demons you don't see still

dancin' in your dreams

Draggin' up all the ways, temptation is overgrown

looks like we're all alone

Truth is coming don't lie, so let me show you

Can't keep me here in the darkI'll set you off like a spark into oblivion, (into

oblivion)

Can't take me down to the boat

I'll turn you back into stone into oblivion

Rise wrath of the rage those spineless spirits bleed

the only half of me

Crawling out of my skin, shed every trace of you

just one last thing to do

Truth is coming don't lie, so let me show you

Can't keep me here in the dark

I'll set you off like a spark into oblivion, (into

oblivion)




I'll set you off like a spark into oblivion

Ayo ayooaaa [x3]

So let me show youCan't keep me here in the dark

"Second Chance"

My eyes are open wide

And by the way,

I made it through the day

I watched the world outside

By the way,

I'm leaving out today

I just saw Halley's comet

She waved

Said, "Why you always running in place?"

Even the man in the moon disappeared

Somewhere in the stratosphere

[Chorus]

Tell my mother,

Tell my father

I've done the best I can

To make them realize

This is my life

I hope they understand

I'm not angry, I'm just saying...

Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Please don't cry one tear for me

I'm not afraid

Of what I have to say

This is my one and only voice

So listen close,It's only for today

I just saw Halley's comet

She waved

Said, "Why you always running in place?"

Even the man in the moon disappeared

Somewhere in the stratosphere

[Chorus]

Tell my mother,

Tell my fatherI've done the best I can


This is my life




Here's my chance

This is my chance

Tell my mother,

Tell my father

I've done the best I can


This is my life

"Sin With A Grin"

Take a good look at agony

Force fed pass down

Time release

I'm inspired to find the liar

Black list X on the back

Of a soulfull man

I've got way's you understandLook left, look right, but I'm

Behind you

I never noticed, until I focused

On everything you did, you said,

You lit the fuse inside my head

[Chorus]

Thank you for reminding me

Of why I'm sick inside

Thank you for the venom, did

You think it would paralyze?

These scars I scratch, I tear

Are there under my skin

Where you've always been

Thank you for reminding me,

To sin with a grin

Hangman

Standing on a twisted 2x4

Built your house, but forgot

To lock the doorI'm inside with two black eyes

I have not one shred of sympathy

I have no use for apologies

I'm inspired to find the liar

I never noticed, until I focused

On everything you did, you said,

You lit the fuse inside my head

[Chorus]


Of why I'm sick insideThank you for the venom, did






To sin with a grin








Thank you for reminding me -








To sin with a grin

Sin with a grin [x3]

"Sound Of Madness"

Yeah, I get it,

You're an outcast.

Always under attack.

Always coming in last,

Bringing up the past.

No one owes you anything.

I think you need a shotgun blast,A kick in the ass,

So paranoid. . .

Watch your back!!

Oh my, here we go...

Another loose cannon gone bi-polar

Slipped down, couldn't get much lower.

Quicksand's got no sense of humor.

I'm still laughing like hell.

You think that by crying to me

Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,

You've been infected by a social disease.

Well, then take your medicine.

[Chorus:]

I created the Sound of Madness.

Wrote the book on pain.

Somehow I'm still here,

To explain,

That the darkest hour never comes in the night.You can sleep with a gun.

When you gonna wake up and fight... for

yourself?

I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality,

If there's an afterlife,

Then it'll set you free.

But I'm not gonna part the seas

You're a self-fulfilling prophecy.

You think that crying to me,

Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,You've been infected by a social disease.

Well, then take your medicine.

[Chorus]

I created the Sound of Madness.

Wrote the book on pain.

Somehow I'm still here,

To explain,

That the darkest hour never comes in the night.

You can sleep with a gun.

When you gonna wake up...

When you gonna wake up and fight...

[Chorus]

When you gonna wake up and fight... for

yourself? [x3]

"The Crow And The Butterfly"

I painted your room at

Midnight, so I'd know

Yesterday was over

I put all your books on the top shelf,

Even the one with the four leaf clover

Man, I'm getting older

I took all your pictures off the walland wrapped them in a news paper blanket

I haven't slept in what seems like a century,

and now I can barely breathe

[Chorus]

Just like a crow chasing the butterfly

dandelions lost in the summer sky

When you and I were getting high as outer space,

I never thought you'd slip away

I guess I was just a little too late

Your words still serenade me,

Your lullabies won't let me sleep

I've never heard such a haunting melody.

Oh, it's killing me

You know I can barely breathe

[Chorus]



When you and I were getting high as outer space,I never thought you'd slip away




When you and I were getting high as outer space,

I never thought you'd slip away -

Like a crow chasing the Butterfly


When you and I were getting high as outer space,I never thought you'd slip away


Just a little too late

"Through The Ghost"

[Verse 1]

Speak of the devil

Look who just walked into the room

The guilted and faded

Notion of someone I once knew

[Bridge] All the perfect moments are wrong

All the precious pieces are gone

Everything that mattered is just

A city of dust

Covering both of us

Did you hide yourself away?

I can't see you anymore

Did you eclipse another day?

I used to wake up to the colour of your soul


Are you living through the ghost?

Did you finally find a place

Above the shadows so the world will never know?

The world will never know you like I do

[Verse 2]

So many silent sorrows

You never hear from again

And now that you've lost tomorrowIs yesterday still a friend?

[Bridge]

All the bridges we built were burned

Not a single lesson was learned

Everything that mattered is just

A city of dust

Covering both of us


I can't see you anymoreDid you eclipse another day?






The world will never know you like I do

Like I still do


I can't see you anymore

Did you eclipse another day?






The world will never know you...

"Unity"

I found a note with your name

And a picture of us

Even though it was framed

And covered in dust

It’s the map in my mind that sends me on my way

They say it’s never too late To stop being afraid

And there is no one else here

So why should I wait?

And in the blink of an eye the past begins to fade

So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?

And your moment of truth

Is the day that you say “I’m not scared”

Put your hands in the air

If you hear me out there

I’ve been looking for you day and night

Shine a light in the dark

Let me see where you are

‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you’re not alone

And I show you this is where you belong


One more time

I’ve seen a million miles

Met a million faces

Took all I knew

To reach all these places

And I’d do it again

If it brings me back to you

So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?

And your moment of truth

Is the day that you say “I’m not scared”










One more time











One more time


One more time

"What A Shame"

Two packs of cigarettes a day

The strongest whiskey

Kentucky can make

That's a recipe to put a vagabond

On his hands and knees

I watched it all up close,

I knew him more than mostI saw a side of him he never showed

Full of sympathy for a world that

Wouldn't let him be

That's the man he was,

Have you heard enough?

[Chorus]

What a shame, what a shame,

To judge a life that you can't change

The choir sings, the church bells ring

So, won't you give this man his wings?

What a shame to have to beg you to

See we're not all the same

What a shame

There's a hard life for every silver spoon

There's a touch of grey for every shade

Of blue

That's the way that I see life

If there was nothing wrong,Then there'd be nothing right

And for this working man they say could

Barely stand

There's gotta be a better place to land

Some kind of remedy for a world that

Wouldn't let him be

That's the man he was,

Have you heard enough?

[Chorus] What a shame, what a shame,






What a shame

God forgive the hands that laid you down

They never knew how much a broken heart can

break the sound and change the season

Now the leaves are falling faster,

Happily ever after

You gave me hope through your endeavors

And now you will live forever

[Chorus]

What a shame, what a shame,






What a shame, what a shame

'Cause we're not all the same

What a shame, what a shame

'Cause we're not all the same
