Nothing More - The Stories We Tell Ourselves Lyrics
Copyright: Lyrics © Original Writer and Publisher
Do You Really Want It?
Do you really want it?
We say, "give me a high, oh god, give me a feeling"
('Cause I've lost my reason)
We say, "give me a push, a push through this"
(Concrete ceiling)
We say "give me a sign that proves what I believe in"
(A psychic reading)
So I can shake these American demons
Give me, give me, give me
Everybody wants to change the world
But one thing's clear
No one ever wants to change themselves
That's the way things are
All because we hate the buzzkill
Jaded when we need to feel
But we can change it all if you really want it
Do you really want it?
Do you really want it?
Ka, ka, ka, ka
You gotta bite the bullet 'til your gums are bleeding
(Grab the mic and scream it)
You gotta dig up the past to get past this
(Anxious feeling)
You gotta get ripped apart to see why you're breathing
(To find your reason)
So I can shake these American demons
Give me, give me, give me
Everybody wants to change the world
But one thing's clear
No one ever wants to change themselves
That's the way things are
All because we hate the buzzkill
Jaded when we need to feel
But we can change it all
If you really want it
Then we can change it all
Do you really want it?
Do ya, do ya?
Do you really want it?
Do ya, do ya?
So I can shake these American demons
Screaming, screaming, screaming
Everybody wants to change the world
But one thing's clear
No one ever wants to change themselves
That's the way things are
All because we hate the buzzkill
Jaded when we need to feel
But we can change it all (we can change it all)
We can change it all
If you really want it
(Oh, oh we can change it all, yeah we can change it all)
(If you really want it)
(Oh, oh we can change it all, yeah we can change it all)
Everybody wants to change the world (we can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves (we can change it all)
Everybody wants to change the world (we can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves (we can change it all)
Everybody wants to change the world (we can change it all)
No one ever wants to change themselves (we can change it all)

(Convict; Divide)
"Our rage, and our very proper rage, against evil things which occur in this world must not overstep itself."
"We are going to terminate our race in a mutual massacre of scapegoats."
"Now then the question arises, who's deceiving who? Who's fooling who? Well, you're deceiving yourself. Everybody takes the shortcuts, everybody plays tricks, everybody has an element of duplicity, of deception."

The bottom line is above our heads
Employ the flies to build your web

Ripping Me Apart
Came to with your hands around my neck
Angel in my ear and a gun to my back
You take the wind from me but I choke for the last time
Keep your convictions. I'm done playing the victim
You better move on motherf*cker
But you pull me right back together
Yeah you pull me right back
You pull, you pull, you pull
Oh God, you're ripping me apart
You're ripping me apart
Oh you make me a God when we come together
You make me the best but I never get better
You are the lie, you are the dream
You are everything to me
You rip me, you rip me, you rip me, you rip me
I got that four foot nine and fifteen hundred pound
Gorilla in the room
But no one knows, nobody knows that he's got me by the throat
He says "I'm not here to lie about the pain. I'm here to make you feel it."
But you pull me right back together
Yeah you pull me right back
You pull, you pull, you pull
Oh God, you're ripping me apart
You're ripping me apart
Oh you make me a God when we come together
You make me the best but I never get better
You are the lie, you are the dream
You are everything to me
You rip me, you rip me, you rip me, you rip me
You're coming through the back door
Pull the trigger screaming "gimme more!"
Crack my head on the concrete
My conscience right in front of me
Blood pumping like a heart attack
Don't tell me, don't tell me how to act
You make me a God when we come together
You make me the best but I never get better
You are the lie, you are the dream
You are everything to me
Oh you make me a God when we come together
You rip out my heart and you push in the dagger
You are the lie, you are the dream
You are every-f*cking-thing to me
You took it all from me
(You took it all from me)
Oh how you rip me, you rip me, you rip me, you rip me
You're coming through the back door
Pull the trigger screaming "gimme more!"
Don't tell me, don't tell me how to act
Oh God, I just need another cigarette

Don't Stop
Like a shotgun in a fist fight
Like a murder in the daylight
I'm the poison in the lead pipes
Open me up and watch the dogs fight, dogs fight
My angel's in a headlock
And I'm dropping bombs from the rooftops
I ain't waiting on the world to wake up
Oh, you never need luck when you don't stop, don't stop

Pumping stock lies saying shit don't stink
Touch a hot nerve when I prefer to think first
And turn down Jonestown drinks
Five senses and a brain to move me
Five ways that they can never use me
I got the fire
I got control

Funny Little Creatures
It's funny how I can give the best advice, but I can't follow
So I tell myself, so I tell myself
It's funny how I can push the pills, but I can't swallow
So I tell myself, so I tell myself
"Run, run away"
Blame is a coward, but self-righteous
A funny little creature hiding out in me
Hate is power with a price tag
A funny little creature screaming out in me
"This might hurt a little"
It's funny how the stories that I tell myself
Leave so many things out
Do I believe myself
Or someone else?
It's funny how I know what's wrong
About everything in everyone else
When I don't know myself
When I don't know myself
"Run, run away"
Blame is a coward, but self-righteous
A funny little creature hiding out in me
Hate is power with a price tag
A funny little creature screaming out in me
"Listen to me"
Fear is a liar, but he's been right before
If you fight your shadow
You'll get lost in the war
Ambition's a champ
But he's also a whore
Drunk or sober
He always wants more
I always want more
I always want more
Lust is beauty in a body bag
A funny little bitch that's screaming
"Just use me"
Blame is a coward, but self-righteous
A funny little creature screaming out in me
"Oh, let me go! Oh, let me go!"
He's screaming out in me
It's gonna get worse before it gets better
It's gonna get worse before it gets better
Bite down and trust me
So I tell myself, so I tell myself
It's funny how I can push the pills, but I can't swallow
So I tell myself, so I tell myself
"Run, run away"
Blame is a coward, but self-righteous
A funny little creature hiding out in me
Hate is power with a price tag
A funny little creature screaming out in me
"This might hurt a little"
It's funny how the stories that I tell myself
Leave so many things out
Do I believe myself
Or someone else?
It's funny how I know what's wrong
About everything in everyone else
When I don't know myself
When I don't know myself
"Run, run away"
Blame is a coward, but self-righteous
A funny little creature hiding out in me
Hate is power with a price tag
A funny little creature screaming out in me
"Listen to me"
Fear is a liar, but he's been right before
If you fight your shadow
You'll get lost in the war
Ambition's a champ
But he's also a whore
Drunk or sober
He always wants more
I always want more
I always want more
Lust is beauty in a body bag
A funny little bitch that's screaming
"Just use me"
Blame is a coward, but self-righteous
A funny little creature screaming out in me
"Oh, let me go! Oh, let me go!"
He's screaming out in me
It's gonna get worse before it gets better
It's gonna get worse before it gets better
Bite down and trust me

"You'll find therefore, that if you get with reality,
All sorts of illusions disappear,
All sorts of illusions disappear
But you must remember, that the secret to all this is:
Not to be afraid of fear
When you can really allow yourself to be afraid
And you dont resist the experience of fear
You are truly beginning to master fear
But when you refuse to be afraid, you are resisting fear
And that simply sets up a vicious circle
Of being afraid of fear and being afraid of being afraid of fear
If then you try, to obliterate fear
You're working in the wrong way
To attack fear is to strengthen it
As if you were God, that is to say that you don't trust anybody
And you're dictator to have to keep everybody in line
You lose the divine
'Cause what you're doing is simply defending yourself
So then principle is:
The more you give it away, the more it comes back
The meaning of the fact, you see, that everything is dissolving constantly
We are falling apart
We are all in the process of constant death
Then you truly understand, that you don't have to let go
Because there's nothing to hold on to."

The Great Divorce
I was born in this great divorce
Heaven tempted; hell enforced
Ticking the bomb wrapped in skin
My fear my friction; my hope my resin
I breathe it in
I can feel the pressure in my soul
I can see the love that I withhold
It keeps my body on the ground
It weighs me down
It pulls me down
Pulls me...
Down
I can't escape this; it's in my bones
This burden becomes me and digs a hole
No absolution; no letting go
Whole world is screaming
"Pay your debt; this guilt is yours"
I breathe it in
I breathe it in
I can feel the pressure in my soul
I can see the love that I withhold
It keeps my body on the ground
It weighs me down
Pulls me down
It pulls me
It pulls me...
Pay your respect
Pay no mind
Pay your respect
Pay no mind
Pay your respect
Pay no mind
Pay your respect
Pay no mind
I can feel the pressure in my soul
I can see the love that I withhold
It keeps my body on the ground
It weighs me down
Pulls me down
It pulls me
Yeah, yeah
It pulls me, yeah
Yeah!
Pay your debt
Pay your debt
Pay your
Heaven tempted; hell enforced
Ticking the bomb wrapped in skin
My fear my friction; my hope my resin

I can see the love that I withhold
It keeps my body on the ground
It weighs me down
It pulls me down
Pulls me...
Down
I can't escape this; it's in my bones
This burden becomes me and digs a hole
No absolution; no letting go

Go to War
I don't know what you had in mind
But here we stand on opposing sides
Let's go to war
Let's go to war
We arm ourselves with the wrongs we've done
Name them off one by one
Let's go to war
Let's go to war
Everything you say
Everything you do
You push it in and you cut me down
And you cut me down
(War, war, war)
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Hush, my baby, make no sound
Maybe we can wait each other out
It's a cold war
Let's go to war
With every settled score
I thought that fighting with meant fighting for
But you turned it around
But you turned it around
(War, war, war)
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Do we censor or do we flow?
Are we drunk on the chemicals?
Every feeling in my bones tells me to lash out
And tell you, "f*ck off"
You've got my heart and I've got your soul
But are we better off alone?
With every battle, we lose a little more
Remember everything that we died for
You are everything that I die for
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Do you feel safe?
But here we stand on opposing sides
Let's go to war
Let's go to war
We arm ourselves with the wrongs we've done
Name them off one by one
Let's go to war
Let's go to war
Everything you say
Everything you do
You push it in and you cut me down
And you cut me down
(War, war, war)
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Hush, my baby, make no sound
Maybe we can wait each other out
It's a cold war
Let's go to war

But you turned it around
(War, war, war)
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Do we censor or do we flow?
Are we drunk on the chemicals?
Every feeling in my bones tells me to lash out
And tell you, "f*ck off"
You've got my heart and I've got your soul
But are we better off alone?
With every battle, we lose a little more
Remember everything that we died for
You are everything that I die for
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Screaming at the ones we love
Like we forgot who we can trust
Screaming at the top of our lungs
On the grounds where we feel safe
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe? Do we feel safe?
Do you feel safe?

Just Say When
We used to dream
We used to name the stars
Tracing futures lying in the dark
They said we'd never last
The brightest flame burns fast
We say words
We don't talk anymore
Tonight we're growing closer
Closer to the end
Were we fools for each other
Or fools for falling in?
Are we looking at forever?
'Cause I don't see it in your eyes
Have you had enough or do we try again?
The glass was half full when we stopped pouring in
So just say when
I see that sunset in your eyes again
I got that sinking, sinking, same feeling
They said we'd never last
And they were right, but I can't help looking back
Tonight we're growing closer
Closer to the end
Were we fools for each other
Or fools for falling in?
Are we looking at forever?
'Cause I don't see it in your eyes
Have you had enough or do we try again?
The glass was half full when we stopped pouring in
So just say when
Oh, we keep circling it never ends
We keep breaking down but never bend
Oh, we've been half alive
We've been half alive for way too long
Tonight we're growing closer
Closer to the end
Were we fools for each other
Or fools for falling in?
Are we looking at forever?
'Cause I don't see it in your eyes
Have you had enough or do we try again?
The glass was half full when we stopped pouring in
So just say when
So just say when
We used to name the stars
Tracing futures lying in the dark
They said we'd never last
The brightest flame burns fast
We say words
We don't talk anymore
Tonight we're growing closer
Closer to the end
Were we fools for each other
Or fools for falling in?
Are we looking at forever?
'Cause I don't see it in your eyes
Have you had enough or do we try again?
The glass was half full when we stopped pouring in
So just say when
I see that sunset in your eyes again
I got that sinking, sinking, same feeling
They said we'd never last
And they were right, but I can't help looking back
Tonight we're growing closer
Closer to the end
Were we fools for each other
Or fools for falling in?
Are we looking at forever?
'Cause I don't see it in your eyes
Have you had enough or do we try again?
The glass was half full when we stopped pouring in
So just say when
Oh, we keep circling it never ends
We keep breaking down but never bend
Oh, we've been half alive
We've been half alive for way too long
Tonight we're growing closer
Closer to the end
Were we fools for each other
Or fools for falling in?
Are we looking at forever?
'Cause I don't see it in your eyes
Have you had enough or do we try again?
The glass was half full when we stopped pouring in
So just say when
So just say when

We cannot change anything unless we accept it
How lovely is the enemy in it's own path
To call the wolf his "brother"

Who We Are
We traded our harps for a weapon
Lusted at Hellfire from Heaven
Now everything burns
Feels like that's all that we are
Now all of our hoping feels hopeless
We fight for these wars that we've chosen
And what have we learned?
Feels like it's all that we are
Cause lately I don't know our names
When Ares gave call we obeyed
Loves not a hand full of Aces I'm sorry to say
But I'm not the type to fold cards
As much as it tears me apart
Cause if the whole sky falls I'll fall with you
For all that we are
We're stuck in the poisoner's shadow
I'm tired of fighting these battles
That tear us apart
Feels like that's all that we are
But harmony hopes for a relapse
I love you, and darling I mean that
Let's lay down our arms
Feels like that's all that we are
Cause lately I don't know our names
When Ares gave call we obeyed
loves not a hand full of Aces I'm sorry to say
But I'm not the type to fold cards
As much as it tears me apart
Cause if the whole sky falls I'll fall with you
For all that we are
Our bed is the butte of a rifle
we brandish our claws on arrival
Soldiers eat, while the newlywed starves
But there's still a spark in our fire
We'll work through the work this requires
We're so much more than we are
Cause lately I don't know our names
When Ares gave call we obeyed
Loves not a hand full of Aces I'm sorry to say
But I'm not the type to fold cards
As much as it tears me apart
Cause if the whole sky falls I'll fall with you
For all that we are
Lusted at Hellfire from Heaven
Now everything burns
Feels like that's all that we are
Now all of our hoping feels hopeless
We fight for these wars that we've chosen
And what have we learned?
Feels like it's all that we are
Cause lately I don't know our names
When Ares gave call we obeyed
Loves not a hand full of Aces I'm sorry to say
But I'm not the type to fold cards
As much as it tears me apart
Cause if the whole sky falls I'll fall with you
For all that we are
We're stuck in the poisoner's shadow
I'm tired of fighting these battles
That tear us apart
Feels like that's all that we are
But harmony hopes for a relapse
I love you, and darling I mean that
Let's lay down our arms

Tunnels
In the tunnels of life
We hold our breath; we close our eyes
Stiff as a board to the other side
We fill our lungs and we pray for light
We fill our lungs and we pray for light
I will make it through this
Digging deep; sinking in
I'm done with everything holding, holding me down
I will make it through this
There's a time to die and a way to live
I'm not going out like this
Always smile and pretend
We wanna give up; we wanna give in
When hopelessness is content
We feel our worlds caving in
We feel our worlds caving in
I will make it through this
Digging deep; sinking in
I'm done with everything holding, holding me down
I will make it through this
There's a time to die and a way to live
I'm not going out like this
Like this now
We are the night; we are the dream
We are everything we need
Just breathe
Just breathe
We got the strength down to the bone
We got the grip that shapes the mold
We make our own
We make our own
It's all risk to never regret
Taking every chance we get to make our own
To make our own
I will make it through this
Digging deep; sinking in
I'm done with everything holding, holding me down
I will make it through this
There's a time to die and a way to live
I'm not going out like this
Like this now
I gasp for air
It's getting thin
I'm blacking out
And shedding skin
As I transform
I believe
I feel the light lifting me
Just breathe
Just breathe
Just breathe
We hold our breath; we close our eyes
Stiff as a board to the other side
We fill our lungs and we pray for light
We fill our lungs and we pray for light
I will make it through this
Digging deep; sinking in
I'm done with everything holding, holding me down
I will make it through this
There's a time to die and a way to live
I'm not going out like this
Always smile and pretend
We wanna give up; we wanna give in
When hopelessness is content
We feel our worlds caving in
We feel our worlds caving in
I will make it through this
Digging deep; sinking in
I'm done with everything holding, holding me down
I will make it through this
There's a time to die and a way to live
I'm not going out like this
Like this now
We are the night; we are the dream
We are everything we need
Just breathe
Just breathe
We got the strength down to the bone
We got the grip that shapes the mold
We make our own
We make our own
It's all risk to never regret
Taking every chance we get to make our own
To make our own
I will make it through this
Digging deep; sinking in
I'm done with everything holding, holding me down
I will make it through this
There's a time to die and a way to live
I'm not going out like this
Like this now
I gasp for air
It's getting thin
I'm blacking out
And shedding skin
As I transform
I believe
I feel the light lifting me
Just breathe
Just breathe

Suddenly you find that you have the power, this enormous access of energy. But it's not power that came to you because you grabbed it; it came in entirely the opposite way. The power that comes to you in that opposite way is power with which you can be trusted.'

Fadein/Fadeout
Just the other day I looked at my father
It was the first time I saw he'd grown old
Canyons through his skin and the rivers that made them
Carved the stories I was told
He said:
"Son, I have watched you fade in
You will watch me fade out
I have watched you fade in
You will watch me fade out
When the grip leaves my hand
I know you won't let me down
Go and find your way
Leave me in your wake
Always push through the pain
And don't run away from change
Never settle
Make your mark
Hold your head up
Follow your heart
Follow your heart"
Just the other day I stared at the ocean
With every new wave another must go
One day you'll remember us laughing
One day you'll remember my passion
One day you'll have one of your own
I say:
"Son, I have watched you fade in
You will watch me fade out
When the grip leaves my hand
I know you won't let me down
Go and find your way
Leave me in your wake
Always push through the pain
And don't run away from change
Never settle
Make your mark
Hold your head up
Follow your heart
Follow your heart, follow your heart, follow your heart"
We all get lost sometimes trying to find what we're looking for
We all get lost sometimes trying to find what we're looking for
I have watched you fade in
You will watch me fade out
I have watched you fade in
You will watch me fade out
When the grip leaves my hand
I know you won't let me down
Go and find your way
Leave me in your wake
Always push through the pain
And don't run away from change
Never settle
Make your mark
Hold your head up
Follow your heart
Follow your heart, follow your heart
When the morning comes and takes me
I promise I have taught you everything that you need
In the night you'll dream of so many things
But find the ones that bring you life, and you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
That's where you'll find me
That's where you'll find me."

You will watch me fade out
