Destroy The Runner
I, Lucifer Lyrics

Take this breath in my chest.
I crave death and nothing less.
Slit my throat 'cuz I'm better off dead.
My life has been wasted.

Keep me around as if I had a purpose.
I'm speaking out and proving that your wrong.
The sweetest sound is when your voice is distant.
I'm wanting out if that means taking you on.

I've seen your breath written on these pages.
You have bled for animals in cages.
Was I given straw to build this house?
Tell me why the hell did my walls all fall down?

Keep me around as if I had a purpose.
I'm speaking out and proving that your wrong.
The sweetest sound is when your voice is distant
I'm wanting out if that means taking you on, and now I'm taking off your crown.

Take these hands and turn them into weapons.
Change these plans and make them into your's.
Take this man and turn his sight from demons.
All I am is wanting you more.

Now I see what's been hidden inside of me.
I'll never question you again

Outside...
They hear a different song then inside.
What's in your heart?
You'll find...
They are just waiting for you this time,
To watch you fall.

[Chorus]
If you're drawing lines you can get off our side.
We wanna be wrong if what you say is right.
Down on you, down on you, they'll never stop.
And how can you, now can you use what you've got?

Our fire,
burning inside of you and they've tried
to put you out.
You'll find the simply maybe that you might die.
Not on your own.

But they will tell you you're wrong

If you're drawing lines you can get off our side.
We wanna be wrong if what you say is right
Down on you, down on you, they'll never stop.
And how can you, now can you use what you've got?

Your blankets of word, it's still making us cold.
We've tasted, life wasted and it's getting old.
You'll never make it, at least we tried.
And if we make it, at least you tried.
We've tried
We've tried
We've tried
We've tried

They can't stop us.
This is who are.
You can not stop us.
This is who we are.

If you're drawing lines you can get off our side.
We wanna be wrong if what you say is right.
Down on you, down on you, they'll never stop.
And how can you, now can you use what you have got?

Cut out a heart and then ran away with you.
Today I'll start and do the same to you.
I'll watch you leave.
I'm not what you need.

Everyone wants the same as I do.
As you wait and bleed, I am trying to forget you.

I'll watch you leave.
I'm not what you need.

Lie to me to make this better, and I won't leave.
I will stay. I've made a grave with you.
We can sleep now. Entombed, we can sleep now.

So this happens once again to a child without sin.
Don't say, "This is love."
Just say, " This is greed".
We'll watch you leave.

We won't give up this time.
We won't give up.
We'll give our all this time.
We'll give our all

Another second wasted or is it another year?
We've tried hard not to face it.
Erase a thought so clear.

A we've tried to cover our eyes and ears,
(But we can see with our hearts,)
And it's the greatest view from here.

[Chorus:]
Give them your eyes.
(They are no longer invisible.)
Give them your eyes.
(They are no longer invisible.)

Comfortable, we are so blind.

The vision lives on inside this wasted time,
And the dream is growing.
The time that is gone we've tasted,
But now we crave a different song.

Give them your eyes.
(They are no longer invisible.)
Give them your eyes.
(They are no longer invisible.)

And we all know,
And we all know and do nothing about it.
And we all know,
We all know and do nothing do nothing.
We do nothing about them.

And if it was all turned around.
What do you see now?
All of their many tears could drowned
Apathy that' is found in you.
In you
In you
In you

Give them your eyes.
(They are no longer invisible.)
Give them your eyes.
(They are no longer invisible.)

We all know,
We all know and do nothing about it.
We all know,
We all know and do nothing do nothing.
We do nothing about it

He was given a thorn in his side.
Was I given the same?
Around everycorner in this life
Lies are whispering.
I follow what they say.

As demons hide,
I'll curse your name,
And I'll say it to your face.
WhenI've died and touched the flame,
I'll know who I should blame.

Theblankets of this leave me cold.
Curse my thoughts and my eyes.
Lookingback at all of this I know
Maybe I should of cried.
Maybe I don'tmind.

As demons hide,
I'll curse your name,
And I'll say it to your face.
WhenI've died and touched the flame,
I'll know who I should blame.

You've got today,
But you always say
That you'll change tomorrow.
Good intentions fade
When you sit and say
that you'll change tomorrow.

We have stolen blood running through
Our veins like a cancer.
We havefound a cure and it's you,
And we have found the answer.

As demons lie,
I speak your name,
And I'll say it to your face.
When I die,
I'll saywith a smile
That you are the one to blame

They fight and it never seems like it ends.
"Are you too busytonight?"
When all of your children cry,
"Oh God, when will it end!?"

Will we ever see the day
The world stands as one?
Love and peace arehidden
Somewhere under this sun.
We are on our knees and
Praying to endthis war.
Time will already murder
What they are fighting for.

Justifybelief in a God that's left you behind,
But we're still hoping tonight
That our prayers and our wishes,
Find a way through their hearts.

Will we ever see the day
The world stands as one?
Love and peace arehidden
Somewhere under this sun.
We are on our knees and
Praying to endthis war.
Time will already murder
What they are fighting for.

All of this time their burning down bridges.
All of this time warsfought from religions.
All of this time spent burning the witches.
All of this time they're fighting for riches.
All of this time theirbreaking the stitches
All of this time their dying in ditches.
All of this time...

I watch and cry
and hold on to his legs
as mother waits outside
for her son to come.

I've seen too much.
I haven't seen enough,
You haven't seen enough,
Until you see the family breaking up.

No one (It's like nothing you've felt before)
No one should ever feel like...
Like this (I'll cry but my tears won't lock the doors.)
No one (It's like throwing away those years.)
No one should ever live like this,
And I'll cry but my tears won't keep you here,
Or keep us together

Fathers and mothers.
Know that your sons and your daughters,
they might, might walk a road that is harder
and it's because the choices you've made or the ones that you make.
And we have lived with your blood on our hands.
What we've been waiting for, now it's our chance.

We will stand, sisters and brothers
From broken homes and broken lovers.
We will stand for something now (stand for something...true!)

No one (It's like nothing you've felt before)
No one should ever feel like...
Like this (I'll cry but my tears won't lock the doors.)
No one (It's like throwing away those years.)
No one should ever live like this,

And I'll cry but my tears won't keep you here,
Or keep us together

Where others have failed,
We will make it.
Where families derail,
we won't lose track.
We'll start the trail,
our kin will take in.
We'll fight tooth and nail
When lies attack.

Falling Leaf
Falling Leaf
Falling Leaf

Another child is born into this pain,
And the unfortunate die slow.

Who do we blame?
Give our fingers a place to go.
Give us a name that youknow.
They know.
We all know.

A God we can't see
(is barking orders)
A thought and a dream
(is more as it seems)
As children play in thestreet
(children are also crying)
As they choose what to eat
(childrenare also dying)

One question started off,
And now there is more.
Areanswers found in hats of thorns?
What is the point?
He's given us all a choice.
We'll flip a coin,
And rejoice, rejoice,
We rejoice!

Thedrowning are asking
"Who'll stop the rain?
Have the angels all goneaway?"
The suffering's not passing.
"Who will stop the pain?"

A God we can't see
(is barking orders)
A thought and a dream
(is more as it seems)
As children play in thestreet
(children are also crying)
As they choose what to eat
(childrenare also dying)

Give me one reason and I’ll give you more
It seems I’m not what she was looking for
I was waiting for something
I found out that it’s nothing

Never act that way
(and then let’s talk about growing old)
Never say those things boy
(and forget all that you know)
You will love this pain
(You’ve got nowhere to go)
and you will play her games
and do what you’re told

I’m happy with or without you
You make your choices
And become what you choose
Break an organ that’s mended
And fake who you’re in love with

Never act that way
(and then let’s talk about growing old)
Never say those things boy
(and forget all that you know)
You will love this pain
(You’ve got nowhere to go)
and you will play her games
and do what you’re told

Tell me that “Distance is why we fight
Though you’re not like other guys
Everything that I say is right”
Tell me that “I hate and I envy your God
Life is a meaningless song.
Hope and true love all have gone”

I’ll never act that way
(and then let’s talk about growing old)
I’ll never play your games girl
(I am letting go)
You’re not what I need
(Now I really see)
and you are what I leave
I have never felt this free

[Instrumental]

I carved a picture,
into my skin.
I showed everyone,
I'll never sin.
Just cause I bleed like you,
I'm not a man.
Not of this world,
and you must understand that.

I've got a predestined plan.
I walk better than you.
I'll preach what I practice,
and I will practice on you.

I carved your holy name,
inside my skin.
I showed everyone,
I'm not a trend.
I am a zombie,
I'd be better off dead.
I speak of angels,
but host demons instead.

I pray for a prayer that's you.
I am praying on you.
And I talk about walking,
and I try to walk upon you.

When I look at all of you I see,
I see the weak, I'm a wolf among the lost sheep.
When I look at all of you I see,
I see the weak, I'm a wolf among the lost sheep.

I will tell them the scriptures.
I will profit your name.
I will sell them the scriptures,
and I will pocket your fame.

I magnify splinters.
The world is carved from my eyes.
I am posing for pictures
I am feasting on bread and your wine
