Shadows Fall - Those Who Cannot Speak
The sound reflected unable to escape
Desperate to connect
Lashing out at words that fail to appear
Bound in silence
The failure of sound (never learned)
Instinct urges on
As the mind creates its own obstacles
Waging internal war
Between the objects and the abstract
Eloquence of the inner voice
The poetry of the condemned
A stream of consciousness
Never to be understood
Shadows Fall - Eternity Is Within
A death wish has been ingrained.
Almost with our first breath,
We are taught to expect our last.
Science has done its best to choke off
The true instincts of mankind
Death is impatient and thoughtless
Mortality is a disease of the mind
Embrace the gifts before you.
Paradise is underfoot
Eternity is within.
Lost site of the bounty before us
Boundless resource of pleasure and pleny
Living for an intangible
In a future clouded with doubt.
One step forward is one step deeper into the grave
Breath... breath of life.
Shadows Fall - Ghosts Of Past Failures
Facing the reality
Of our own imperfections
The waves crash without warning
Overwhelmed and short of breath
Never able to escape
The bloodstans upon your hands
I AM! Still bleeding you
From wounds you've never known.
I AM! Still bleeding you
From wounds you've never known.
The core of our being
Torn out and cast aside
I never looked this far away
Never saw what lies agead
I the midst of false comfort
The scars were hidden but never healed
Shadows Fall - The Power Of I and
we are givin
all of the light
and purity of the universe
we are ones
who will create
the snarling beasts of human nature
the world within myself
ALL IS ONE
the power of I and I
True piece of mind
Is not bestowed
upon us by the heavens
hiding the purity that flows
from the root of which we rose
ALL IS ONE
Shadows Fall - Inspiration On Demand
Have all of the words escaped?
Inspiration on demand
Emotions all displaced
'And i will wander endlessly
Seeking all the answers the I let slip
through my fingers.
I will wander endlessly
Seeking all the answers that
I let slip and fall away.'
Turn it all around
It melts into sound
(Unfolding...ever growing)
Torn from my rest
Though I still fight to stay.
The images dissolve
As the day invades
A second to react
The mind too slow to act
(Unfolding...ever growing)
A vicious thirst to know
The answers dreams may hold
(Unfolding...ever growing)
Drown the voices of restraint
Make them choke to silence
Incinerate the ropes
And embrace the hope
(Unfolding...ever growing)
Splintering the doors
Free the mind to soar
(Unfolding...ever growing)
Turn it all around
It melts into sound
Shadows Fall - Stillness
Treasures of this world are fleeting
Our eyes blinded from the gift
Within the way there lies the meaning
All natures are pure
All apperances are empty.
Shrouded in sensation and delusion
Consumed within the unknowns
Shrouded in sensation and delusion
All iwll collapse and fall
All wisdom is tresured
All wealth is a shadow
Inexspressible in words
Embrace the stillness
Endless source, Eternal bliss
Absence of the mind is liberation.
Shadows Fall - What Drives The Weak
controled dose of tranquility
forgetfullness washes over me
put to rest the voices of insanity
only the cinders remain
as another night
becomes a yesterday
COME ON! anesthetize the panic
it is what drives the weak
YOU'RE GONE! anesthetize the panic
putting all uncertainties to sleep
not an altered state of mind
but a safer place in an unsafe world
within the nearness of death
rapture in the skip of a heartbeat.
Shadows Fall - Enlightened By The Cold
The War Within
Enlightened By The Cold
When you never know
Is when it's always there,
It seemed so clear...
The slightest tough
To catch the breath,
It turns all around
Single path that i can see,
Emptiness devours me.
Enlightened by the cold
It overcomes the torment
(What if i could bring you back?)
Enlightened by the cold
Enough to burn through walls
Built on anguish
Can I be revived?
Let it hit with force
Strong enough to blind,
The numbness heals.
My worth is only defined
by the next disaster
Sevendust - Face to Face
That you're lost...down and out
When there was nothing left in me
You can't stop fuckin' with my head
Stop fuckin' with my head
My silence you break
The smile that you fake (you fake)
[Chorus:]
There's not one thing that you can say to make it right
Unless you say "I'm leavin"
And if you're not...then please tell me why
Please tell me why you can't
Save face
Say it to my face
Can I take all the filth in your head
All the words that you said (that you said)
And throw it away (throw it out)
You can't stop fuckin' with my head
Stop fuckin' with my head
My silence you break
The smile that you take away
[Chorus:]
There's not one thing that you can say to make it right
Unless you say "I'm leavin"
And if you're not...then please tell me why
Sevendust - Gone
To kill another place I've never been
Another day in hell
Another day in a crowded room...another place
To bleed...another world that your blind to
That I've already seen
[Chorus:]
When I'm gone
Don't fill the space that still belongs to me
When I'm gone...say hello for me
When I'm gone
Think about what all this does to me
When I'm gone...say hello for me
Another piece of me is dead...and I'm
Afraid of the blind...leading the blind until
Was this all for something...that I give for
Nothin...stop with the fake delivery
Stuck in the middle I'm gone
[Chorus:]
When I'm gone
Don't fill the space that still belongs to me
When I'm gone...say hello for me
When I'm gone
Think about what all this does to me
When I'm gone...say hello for me
Sevendust - Suffocate
And the sins that bleed from my soul
Take it all away make it
Go away
[BRIDGE]
Stand up for bein' the last one to control
(But) what you can't see is bein' the last one to know
[Repeat]
[CHORUS:]
Fade into a dream
Try and save me from myself now
Save me from myself now
Fallen from the world
If I could ever breathe in the
Air maybe then I wouldn't suffocate
Face all the things that were
Real to me long ago to save my
Name I never thought it would
Be such a long way to fall
[BRIDGE]
[CHORUS]
Sevendust - Burned Out
You always come around - when my will is broken
And I can bearly stand on my two feet
Was it something, I said - that you can't forget
But you know it's something you need - to make it
All work out - But the fact still remains that
You can never take back what you say - But
I take back everything
I feel so empty - why'd you do this now
When all the color left in my face is
Fading out
I won't ride that evil suicide wave
No matter what you hear me say
[CHORUS:]
Why does it feel
Like the sun is just burned out
Why does it feel
Like everyone waiting for us
To crumble and just break down
Where's that helping hand
That you pull away
Everything I'm in the back of the line
If I start to fall out - on the last mile
Just wash the blood off my face
I feel so empty - why'd you do this now
The viscous circle of life - tears me up all inside
Sevendust - Disgrace
Descend down and break away
Til it was gone
My every thought stuck inside
The hell that reminds me that I've just
Given up
Weighing down my soul the thought of it's
To much when I think about it all
[CHORUS:]
Can I still find a place where my mind stops all the suffering
Will I live in my disgrace on and on
And I know now all I ever wanted
Was peace inside a mind that's always haunted
Where's my sunshine, where's the repair for all the damage
I've done
Weighing down my soul the thought of it's
To much when I think about it all
[CHORUS - (twice)]
Can I still find a place where my mind stops all the suffering
Will I live my disgrace on and on
Sevendust - Skeleton song
I'll stay right here with all these familiar faces
And shut-out everyone else from the world we created
Instead of becoming the sick and twisted
I'll lose myself in a song again
[CHORUS:]
And There's nothing wrong
In being far from right
Another skeleton song
Stuck in my head all night
And there's something wrong
When everything goes right
Another skeleton song
Will save my life tonight
[Verse 2:]
Was it that hard - to open the door to faith
When everyone feels the same
A different face but on the same page
And I don't need something - that hurts more than nothing
So I lose myself in a song again
[CHORUS:]
And There's nothing wrong
In being far from right
Another skeleton song
Stuck in my head all night
And there's something wrong
When everything goes right
Another skeleton song
Will save my life tonight
[Bridge:]
So I try my best to see
How you can relate to so much grief
Never stop forgetting why you came to be here
Everybody seems to be- crying themselves to sleep
Wake up for me and find another place to go
[CHORUS:]
And There's nothing wrong
In being far from right
Another skeleton song
Stuck in my head all night
And there's something wrong
When everything goes right
Another skeleton song
Will save my life tonight
[repeat chorus till fade]
Sevendust - Honesty
But it can never be the same again
I'm left with nothing
But the memory of the way you used to feel
I guess you finally took the deepest cut
I guess the blade on my tongue was just too much
Every word that I said came from my from my dark side
Now this emptiness is real
You reach beneath the surface more..
So go and leave me with my last regret
Let me feel the way you left me dead
Too blind to see
You stole my honesty
I think about the time we've lost
I think about the time
The silence could be words
And now the only sound I hear
Is my guilty conscience
Screaming out your name
You reach beneath the surface more..
So go and leave me with my last regret
Let me feel the way you left me dead
Too blind to see
You stole my honesty
So go and leave me with my last regret
Let me feel the way you left me dead
Go away and steal my thoughts of Honesty
Take back everything I said
A new place for us to begin
Take back everything...
Take back everything...
Take back everything I said
So go and leave me with my last regret
Let me feel the way you left me dead
Too blind to see
You stole my honesty
So go and leave me with my last regret
Let me feel the way you left me dead
Go away and steal my thoughts of Honesty
Sevendust - Separate
The one and only mistake
I don't mind the sound of your voice
But I hate the words that you say
That you say....
Could you Separate
Separate me from the sin
Is it not too late
To try and start again
Can you separate
All the darkness from my eyes
(Try to cover me
'Cause I'd rather be alone now)
Wash away the blood you spilled
And lay down in the bed that you made
(Don't mean nothin
Don't mean nothin to me)
There's nothing I could do
Nothing I could say
To pull you away
To Pull you away
Could you Separate
Separate me from the sin
Sevendust - Broken Down
To heal the wound I've made along the way
If I'm blind
Open my eyes 'cause I need to see again
If I can feel again
Will you tell me now
Or wait til I'm broken down again
Save me now
I'm broken
If I bleed
My lies won't fill the emptiness inside
I just need
For something real to open up my mind
Breaking down
I'm breaking down
Breaking down
I'm breaking down
It takes time
If I can feel again
Will you tell me now
Or wait til I'm broken down again
Sevendust - Seasons
Sevendust - Enemy
You wanna be a big time player - it's not to be
Look at all the snide ass - actin like a wise ass
I'll fuck up your face and you'll never look back
CHORUS:
So when you fall to the ground
And finally get back to reality
And no one else is around
So tell me how does it feel to be the enemy?
Step up to me - Step up to me (x2)
Step up to me - Step up to me
You wanna be a big time player - it’s not to be
Look at your face - look at your name
It's funny you’re a loser with only yourself to blame
Cut your fucking hair now - scared of all the stare downs
You wanna be like me cause it's real
So you steal on your way to fame
Never gonna be - never gonna see
Your name in lights - you can always dream what ‘cha could've been
Clean up my shit - you look like a dick
Step to unemployment - step
CHORUS (x2)
Step!! Step up to me – step up
You’re the enemy!
(x2)
CHORUS (x2)
Sevendust - Disease
Cut my face to hell
There was nothing - nothing but my life unanswered
The truth has died
And in the world you wanted to find
There was nothing - nothing but the unforgiven
[CHORUS:]
Destroy all you see
Tattoo the world - change everything
Save the world for me
Tattoo the world
Do I care anymore - if there's a new beginning
The simple plan is broken
Every time it's given
I needed thrust and love but grab the hand of hate
To help me up again
To fuck me up again
[CHORUS]
Here it comes – Here it comes!
[CHORUS]
Shadows Fall - The Light That Blinds
Fault line through your defenses
Illuminating the essence
Once clouded by a myth
Store bought conformity
Force-fed duality, I warp reality
The comfort, that you will find
As you remain hidden
The light bertrays,
casting your true self away
They remain blinded
As vanity posesses me
I am turning further away
gripped by a belief in empty words
Driven by a need to prove
The shell may wither
But the fire burns eternal.
you hide behind
...cower..
The light that blinds
will never find
what burns inside
you remain blind
behind the light
Blink-182's Travis Barker Explains Arm Sling
Before appearing on the Grammys, drummer had surgery for injury related to plane crash.
By James Montgomery mtv.com
And from that analysis, two questions immediately sprung to the forefront: What was the deal with Tom DeLonge's rather standoffish posturing, and why was Travis Barker's left arm in a sling?
Well, we might not have the answer to the first one, but Barker himself cleared up the mystery of the sling ... to Mario Lopez of all people.
In a post-Grammy interview, Barker told the "Extra" host that he'd just undergone surgery related to his plane crash last September.
"I kind of rushed out of the hospital and my hand was numb, but I didn't tell anybody," Barker told the erstwhile A.C. Slater. "It was in four or five of my fingers. I really wanted to fix it as soon as possible.
"I had bad nerve damage, so I just got surgery," he added. "I have eight to 10 weeks to recover."
Barker has undergone several surgeries since surviving the South Carolina plane crash that killed four others, including his assistant, Chris Baker, and his security guard, Charles "Che" Still. Barker and partner DJ AM escaped the fiery crash with second-and-third degree burns.
Back in 2004, Barker broke his right foot after a Blink gig in Australia, leading to the cancelation of dates on that continent and in Japan. In 2006, Barker injured his right forearm while playing drums with Mark Hoppus in +44. He was fitted with a cast, and soldiered on, playing drums with his left hand.
It's not known whether Barker's surgery will affect the status of Blink-182's plans to release a new album and tour this summer, as they have stated in a message on their official Web site.
