I've got a name, but I'm known by a number
All of my life I'm controlled by computers
Bottom half, but I think it's an error
We're just a number, our lives don't fucking matter
A person just died - their name's in the paper
Some people just died - they became just a number
Am I the only one who knows something's wrong?
I know it's wrong, but we're all just...
She's got a name, but she's known by a number
Doctors won't see her 'till she shows those digits
Fifteen percent - she will not accept it
Doctors give up just because of statistics
All of my life, how I've longed to be different
We never will. We're just part of statistics
Names - they mean nothing
Lives - they mean nothing
God - He means nothing, when you're known by a number

Organization to justify the love between us
Who are you? Stop judging me
But it’s not working, look at this war around us
What’s going on?
Strike a match in the dark to help you see right
You've yet to make yourself a path
Burning out, I’m not lit, I’m running away
You claim to know of this love, why can’t you show it off?
I don’t stand beside you, so high, yet there’s compassion in my life
Organization to justify love
Your organization is fucking it all up
Your mind is running out of ideas to tell them
So listen up let me speak
I’m from the other side and I don’t wanna fake it
I’m not a liar
Ignoring those who try to fix the faulty
Why make exceptions to the rule?
If that’s the case then, hey, I guess I’m guilty...
Organization, justification, let’s get it right, you’re not all alone in this
Organization, justification, you’re the people who lead the way for sin

What They Want
03:02
|

When the world is looking down on me
I want them to see just what they thought I could never be
And they'll all rot into the ground, yeah
Along with their need to make me
What they want. They'll never make me
What they want. I'm never gonna fucking be
What they want. Cause what they want is someone to be above, yeah
What they want. They'll never make me
What they want. I'm never gonna fucking be
What they want. Cause what they don't know is I'm already at the top, yeah
Blank faces passed around the room
Gazes fixed on me
I can feel their thoughts burn through my flesh
And I let skin char to the bone, yeah
They'll never have enough to take me on
What they want. They'll never make me
What they want. I'm never gonna fucking be
What they want. Cause what they want is someone to be above, yeah
What they want. They'll never make me
What they want. I'm never gonna fucking be
What they want. Cause what they don't know is I'm already at the top, yeah
So take your fucking chances
Look up all the answers
Tunnel visioned for a grade
And all you kids take warning
Or just keep on running
If you (If you) want to be like them
Yeah!
What they want. They'll never make me
What they want. I'm never gonna fucking be
What they want. Cause what they want is someone to be above, yeah
What they want. They'll never make me
What they want. I'm never gonna fucking be
What they want. Cause what they don't know is I'm already at the top, yeah

Say what you have to say
But make it quick, cause I don't have all day
You're too late, too late, too whoa, hey
It's four a.m. and I'm still wide awake
No rest for the weary only rest for the dead
Can't take, can't take, can't take it, hey
Faster and with less feeling
No, I don't wanna feel a thing
Shattered existence, scattered love (Hey hey)
Can't come home to what you're not part of (Hey hey)
Waste all your time crammed in a box (Hey hey)
All the money you make couldn't pick the lock (Hey hey)
Faster and with less feeling
No, I don't wanna feel a thing
I've broken down, I'm breaking out
Taking what's left of my life back now
This is my skin I'm living in
And what lies beneath, you can't contain
Faster and with less feeling
No, I don't wanna feel a thing

"When we die, do we die alone?"
And the word caught in my throat when I said, "No"
Cause I knew that I was lying just to ease the pain of passing
But she's the one who left me all alone
Yeah, she's the one who left me all alone
And she sang, "Whoa! I've gotta go.
I've been hanging 'round too long
And you gotta let me go."
"Just let me go"
And I know she saw disappointment in my eyes,
But she closed her own and said her last goodbyes
I guess she got me all along
And I sang, "Whoa! I've got to go.
I've been choking on these words from long ago."
Burning fire set me free.
You know I'm burning out for this.
And we sang, "Whoa! I've got to go.
We've been waiting for too long, and we let each other go"
"Just let me go"
We've been waiting for too long and we let each other go
Yeah, we waited for too long we let each other go
Yeah, I waited for too long and now you're gone.

The Sky's Not Falling
03:06

There’s not a lot to say
You’re not going our way
Break the bond and I explode
There’s nothing left to find
Like a mime to the blind,
Your tongue I’ve never understood
Whoa that’s great that you’re not leaving
Whoa but I’m through believing
Whoa pack up your shit, walk out the door
Whoa we will not wait for you anymore
I know you waited so
Long for this day to show
But we’ve heard that story before
We can’t get on the same
Page with you, what a shame
Your apathy cloaked in guilt trips
Washes up dead on the shore
The sky’s not falling
So let’s stop digging our graves
Let’s sail with heads held high
In winds of desperate needed change

Lightweight

Baby, you're a lightweight
It won't take much before you're gone
Say goodbye to heartbreak
Right now, nothing could go wrong
And when you wake up
You'll wish you'd stayed home last night
So when your mom gets home
You don't have to lie
I saw a dead stare in your eye
Shot in hand, and a beer can littered life now
A dull laugh etched upon your face
Seems you've left without a single trace now
You thought you had it figured it
You had no idea what we're about
Can you even recall what I'm saying?
Baby, you're a lightweight
It won't take much before you're gone
Say goodbye to heartbreak
Right now, nothing could go wrong
And when you wake up
You'll wish you'd stayed home last night
So when I come by
You don't have to lie
You spilled your guts, I couldn't care
You thought that I would always be there waiting
It's such a shame to call you friend
I always thought that this would have a bitter end
You were nowhere to be found
No one picked you up when you fell down
Can you even recall what I'm saying?
Baby, you're a lightweight
It won't take much before you're gone
Say goodbye to heartbreak
Right now, nothing could go wrong
And when you fuck up
You'll wish you'd stayed home last night
So when I come by
You don't have to lie
Baby, you're a dead weight
And God, you only bringing me down
Say hello to goodbyes
Cause this time we're not fucking around
And when you wake up
You'll wish you'd stayed home last night
The medics came and swear you fucking died
Baby, you're a lightweight
It won't take much before you're gone
Say goodbye to heartbreak
Right now, nothing could go wrong
And when you wake up
You'll wish you'd stayed home last night
So won't you please come home?
Please come home tonight
Baby, you're a lightweight
And you've been gone for far too long
And you never came home
So I guess I'll say, "So long"
