Skeletons Album Lyrics by Pop Evil

Wrong Direction

Can't stop the momentum
So sick and picking up speed
Chaos and confusion
What kind of proof do you need?

Caught up in collisions
We're so obsessed with the crash
Dying in division
How long will all of it last?

Safe is only a fiction now
If we can't get off this train
Full steam ahead and down in the wrong direction
Wait, we all hear the crying out
We all have a choice to make
We've got this turned around in the wrong direction

I see acceleration
But we keep closing our eyes
Too numb to face it
And we're too busy to try

From years of pressure
We push the knife in our backs
Too afraid to surrender
How long will all of it last?

Safe is only a fiction now
If we can't get off this train
Full steam ahead and down in the wrong direction
Wait, we all hear the crying out
We all have a choice to make
We've got this turned around in the wrong direction

Pickin' up speed
Running outta time
If we don't turn back
We'll be buried alive

Don't bury us alive
We're coming off the rails (the rails)
Looks like we're set to fail (to fail)
Hanging on by a thread, going over the edge
If we don't save ourselves

Safe is only a fiction now
If we can't get off this train
Full steam ahead and down in the wrong direction
Wait, we all hear the crying out
We all have a choice to make
We've got this turned around in the wrong direction
The wrong direction
We've got this turned around in the wrong direction

Dead Reckoning

I gave up everything
With both my feet in the grave
Somehow I found my strength
Before my soul had decayed
Redemption called my name
But it was screaming in vain
Now all that's left inside these walls is blood

Blood has stained
Now all that's left inside these walls is blood
Blood on my face

I'm running through hell
I'm running through sorrow
I see the light in the distance
I will prevail the darkest tomorrow
There's no turning back for me
Dead reckoning

My shame was crushing me, poisoned reality
Buried under the weight with a couple grenades
But now there's blood on my face
I'm rising from the fall
Breaking down every wall
Now there's nowhere to hide, better ring the alarm

I'm running through hell
I'm running through sorrow
I see the light in the distance (light in the distance)
I will prevail the darkest tomorrow (tomorrow)
There's no turning back for me

I'm running through hell
I'm running through sorrow (sorrow)
I see the light in the distance (light in the distance)
I will prevail the darkest tomorrow (tomorrow)
There's no turning back for me
Dead reckoning

Staring destiny in the face
Making sure it remembers my name
You will not destroy me
Dead reckoning

Through the blood, the sweat, the sacrifice
I'll break through the wall, no matter the price
Through the pain, the hurt, the heartache
Tearing down the sky my soul to retake

Raging Bull

All my life, I fight to survive
They're never gonna get control
(I'm a raging bull)

Choking on spit, now swallowing blood
Every time a push had to turn into a shove
Always had to scream 'cause talking wasn't enough
So tell me, who's left when the good die young?

Out for blood now with a broken arrow
Running down a chance to get myself fed
No one understands what it's like in the shadows
'Til the world sees the horns on your head

All my life with blood in my eyes
The enemy starts to pull
I keep pushing
All my life, I fight to survive
They're never gonna get control
I'm a raging bull
(They're never gonna get control)
(I'm a raging bull)

I'm all alone in a room with the devil in it
He's got his hands on a gun, puts some metal in it
He's got a case, it's aimed at my face and
Right before grave, in god walks and says

He's got a story I make books about
So, if you're thinking he's a target order you can ground
You got another feat a coming when you sorting through the ashes
'Cause he's walked through hell with a hand full of matches

All my life with blood in my eyes
The enemy starts to pull
I keep pushing
All my life, I fight to survive
They're never gonna get control
I'm a raging bull
(They're never gonna get control)
(I'm a raging bull)

Never gonna, never gonna, go
You're never gonna get control

All my life, I fight to survive
They're never gonna get control
(I'm a raging bull)

Raging bull
They're never gonna get control
I'm a raging bull
They're never gonna get control
I'm a raging bull

All my life with blood in my eyes
The enemy starts to pull
I keep pushing
All my life, I fight to survive
They're never gonna get control
I'm a raging bull

All my life with blood in my eyes
The enemy starts to pull
I keep pushing
All my life, I fight to survive
They're never gonna get control
I'm a raging bull

Worth It

Trying to sleep again
Just for the sake of silence
So many skeletons
But don't know where to hide 'em

Hoping it's all just temporary
Praying it's all just in your mind
One foot inside this cemetery
Hoping it's not too late this time

How does it feel to live every day
Holding on, but so broken?
How do you heal when you can't explain
Why your heart is so frozen?

But it's in the dark, you'll find a spark
To get to the other side
I know that it feels like there's no escape
But you're the reason and the purpose
I promise you, you're worth it

Shutting down again
Just for the sake of hiding
Keep letting demons in
'Cause it's too hard to fight when

You're hoping it's all just temporary
Praying it's all just in your mind
One foot inside this cemetery
Hoping it's not too late this time

How does it feel to live every day
Holding on, but so broken?
How do you heal when you can't explain
Why your heart is so frozen?

But it's in the dark, you'll find a spark
To get to the other side
I know that it feels like there's no escape
But you're the reason and the purpose
I promise you, you're worth it

I can see it on your face
Every tear you can't erase
When your world falls down
Get off the ground
You're more than your mistakes

I can see it in your eyes
You're dying to survive
You're dying to survive

How does it feel to live every day
Holding on, but so broken?
How do you heal when you can't explain
Why your heart is so frozen?

But it's in the dark, you'll find a spark
To get to the other side
I know that it feels like there's no escape
But you're the reason and the purpose
I promise you, you're worth it

Sound Of Glory

Tell me, are you ready for war?
Are you ready for war?
Right now, I'ma settle the score
I'ma settle the score
I've been waiting for a lifetime
For one chance, for one night
Igniting the light
Yeah, I'm ready to fight

No one's gonna tear me down
I'ma write my story
Tell me, can you hear it now?
It's the sound of glory (the sound of glory)

The speed of the sound
Got my feet on the ground
Can you feel the commotion?
Carry the world, I'm moving the ocean
Nothing is free that you wanna achieve
I'm ready to dream, ready to feed the lion in me
Yeah, you've gotta believe

No one's gonna tear me down
I'ma write my story
Tell me, can you hear it now?
It's the sound of glory

(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey)

Tell me, are you ready for war?
Are you ready for war?
Right now, I'ma settle the score
I'ma settle the score
I've been waiting for a lifetime
For one chance, for one night
Igniting the light
Yeah, I'm ready to fight

No one's gonna tear me down
I'ma write my story
Tell me, can you hear it now?
It's the sound of glory

No one's gonna tear me down
I'ma write my story
Tell me, can you hear it now?
It's the sound of glory

(Hey, hey, hey)

Tell me, can you hear it now?
It's the sound of glory (sound of glory, sound of glory)

Eye of the Storm

I know you're running from a tidal wave you can't ignore
I know you're trapped inside a hurricane, in the Eye of the Storm
Of the storm
Of the storm
When it feels like you can't go on

You're only one step away
From breaking down the walls you made
The walls you made and
I know it's hard to move on
I know it's hard to let go
But you're only one step away
From getting out of the Eye of the Storm
Eye of the Storm

You're one step away
From falling off the edge
It's messing with your head
It's making you forget that you're one step away
From conquering the pain
From overcoming darkness when fear's in the way

You're only one step away
From breaking down the walls you made
The walls you made and
I know it's hard to move on
I know it's hard to let go
But you're only one step away

Don't let it bury you

I know you're running from a tidal wave you can't ignore
I know you're trapped inside a hurricane, in the Eye of the Storm

But you're only one step away
From breaking down the walls you made
The walls you made and
I know it's hard to move on
I know it's hard to let go
(I know it's hard to let go)
I know it's hard to move on
I know it's hard to let go
But you're only one step away
From getting out of the Eye of the Storm
Eye of the Storm

Don't let it bury you

Circles

Wake up, wide eyed
Free falling, dying to survive
This place, this time
Every moment we define

Spinning 'round to write the story of lives
Leaving darkness behind

All the chapters, they come and they go
The pain will fade before you know
All the pages we tear out alone
But running in circles brings you home

Stop running, you can't stop running
You won't wake up 'til you see what's in front of you
All the walls that came unglued
All the words you can't undo, so go

Can't get out of your, can't get out of your head
'Cause what goes around comes back from the dead

All the chapters, they come and they go
The pain will fade before you know
All the pages we tear out alone
But running in circles brings you home

Circles, keep running in circles
But running in circles brings you home
All the pages we tear out alone
But running in circles brings you home

Follow the circle (go)
Follow the circle (go)

(Circles, running in circles)
(Running in circles, running in circles)
(Circles, running in circles)
(Running in circles, running in circles)

All the chapters, they come and they go
The pain will fade before you know
All the pages we tear out alone
But running in circles brings you home

Circles, keep running in circles
But running in circles brings you home
All the pages we tear out alone
But running in circles brings you home

(Circles, running in circles)
(Running in circles, running in circles, running in)

Skeletons

Whenever it's sundown with nowhere to go
I'm running from the dead of night
So I drive down a lonely road
Praying for the morning light

I see my shadows in the rear view
Waving like the sky was blue
'Cause every time I turn on the news
I get a ring side seat to hell, I get a preview

We live in a world gone mad, that's lost control
What doesn't kill us leaves a hole in our soul
Chase a satellite, get lost in outer space
We're only human, we're flesh and bone
Fighting wars within, we're only human
We're flesh and bone, lonely skeletons

I drive a thousand miles of highway lies
But I never could read the signs
So I drift sideways going back in the grave
Praying that my stars align

I see my shadows in the rear view
Waving like the sky was blue
But from the gallows, they remind you
We're all just passing through, oh

We live in a world gone mad, that's lost control
What doesn't kill us leaves a hole in our soul
Chase a satellite, get lost in outer space
We're only human, we're flesh and bone
Fighting wars within, we're only human
We're flesh and bone, lonely skeletons

We're fighting a war, a war within
We're losing ourselves the more we spin
We're only human
We are broken skeletons

We live in a world gone mad, that's lost control
What doesn't kill us leaves a hole in our soul
Chase a satellite, get lost in outer space
We're only human, we're flesh and bone
Fighting wars within, we're only human
We're flesh and bone, lonely skeletons

We're only human
We're flesh and bone, lonely skeletons
We're only human
We're flesh and bone, lonely skeletons

Who Will We Become

We may not control the events that happen to us
What happened to us?
But we have a choice to choose who we will become
Who will we become?

Are we caught in the deep end?
Is there hope for a sign?
'Cause every day we're alive
We're falling apart, falling apart, falling down

Are we stuck in the future
Where the blind lead the blind?
'Cause every day we're alive
We're falling apart, falling apart, falling down (down)

Like a time bomb, we're holding it inside
Ready to ignite

We may not control the events that happen to us
What happened to us?
But we have a choice to choose who we will become
Who will we become?

Are we waiting for someone to guide us into the light?
Spiraling in obsession, losing a war
Searching for our salvation while hanging onto the past
No found new destination
What's it all for?

We may not control the events that happen to us
What happened to us?
But we have a choice to choose who we will become
(Who will we become?)

The broken, the damaged and afraid
The safety of running from the flames
So hopeless in your misery
Time to burn it down
Welcome to the fallout

We may not control the events that happen to us
What happened to us?
But we have a choice to choose who we will become
Who will we become?
We may not control the events that happen to us
Who will we become?
Who will we become?

Paranoid (Crash & Burn)

Please beware
The voice in your head is a threat

Madness, is all that I can breathe under the ashes
The scars from my past are like matches
Soaked in kerosene
Now everyone can see

Restless, I'm buried in the clouds
But I'm weightless
There's blood in my mouth, I can taste it
I'm starting to believe the voices inside of me

Will you pull me out of the dark
When I'm falling, falling apart dead inside?
I don't know how it all began
And I don't want it all to end me
The voice in my head is a threat (paranoid)

Paranoid, paranoid
The voice in my head is a threat (paranoid)
Paranoid, paranoid
The voice in my head is a threat

Voices screaming in my face in the darkness
Falling from the sky like ashes
Now it's my turn
I'm about to crash, crash and burn

Crash and burn
The voice in my head is a threat

Will you pull me out of the dark
When I'm falling, falling apart dead inside?
I don't know how it all began
And I don't want it all to end me
The voice in my head is a threat, paranoid

I pushed you out to keep it inside
The voice in my head is a threat
I lie awake, still wondering why
The voice in my head is a threat

I pushed you out to keep it inside
The voice in my head is a threat
I lie awake, still wondering why
The voice in my head is a threat

Get out of my head
Get out of my head

Will you pull me out of the dark
When I'm falling, falling apart dead inside?
I don't know how it all began
And I don't want it all to end me
The voice in my head is a threat, paranoid

I pushed you out to keep it inside
The voice in my head is a threat
I lie awake, still wondering why
The voice in my head is a threat
I pushed you out to keep it inside
The voice in my head is a threat (paranoid)

Paranoid, paranoid
The voice in my head is a threat (paranoid)
Paranoid, paranoid
The voice in my head is a threat (paranoid)
Paranoid, paranoid
The voice in my head is a threat
