The Bronx The Bronx (IV)歌詞
1.The Unholy Hand

They got you working on the weekdays
They got you working on the weekends too
And now you're swallowing your paycheck
Like it's what you always dreamed you'd do
When you look into the mirror
Is your faking any clearer?
Are you hanging on your last hope?
When you look into the microscope

Are you the anti-christ or the holy ghost?
Do you wanna die or just come real close?

They got you riding in the spotlight
Thinking everyone knows who you are
And now you're talking like a prophet
Selling money from a shooting star
Well you're shaking to the sunset
Will you run from your judgement?
Will you trip across a tight wind?
Will you fall into your own shrine?

Is it heaven or hell inside your mind?

Are you the anti-christ or the holy ghost?
Do you wanna die or just come real close?
Are you the anti-christ or the holy ghost?
Do you wanna die or just come real close?

Ohhhhhhhhhh!

Are you the anti-christ or the holy ghost?
Do you wanna die or just come real close?
Are you the anti-christ or the holy ghost?
Do you wanna die or just come real close?


2.Along for the Ride

Anticipation's up all night
We're clairevoyant till the morning light
We're not perfect, we're avant-garde
So don't make us think too hard
The inspiration it comes and goes
Dedication decomposed
It's not perfect, it's a prototype
And will we ever get it right?

We're all flawed by design
We used to be alive but now we're just along for the ride

A limp wrist and a dull blade
Progress is slow these days
It's not perfect but it's all we've got
Are we gonna just let it rot?

We're all flawed by design
We used to be alive but now we're just along for the ride
There was a time where the world was under our control
But that time has died and now we're just along for the ride

Yeah!

We're all flawed by design
We used to be alive but now we're just along for the ride
There was a time where the world was under our control
But that time has died and now we're just along for the ride

Yeah!
Along for the ride
Ooh!


3.Style Over Everything

Outside my window
There's a world stuck in limbo
A sidewalker scared
Under gas station light alright
But inside my house
It's quiet as a mouse

Outside my window
They're trying to play me for a fool
They say that they got my place surrounded
That's an attempt to keep me grounded
But inside my house
I shoot to kill I don't fuck around

Inside this house I'm terrified

This spirit world is upside down and inside out
We've come too far, we're too pissed off to turn back now
Lifestyle over everything, lifestyle over everyone
They say, freedom has been found
Lay your weapons down

Beach Cruiser in the city
I was never lost
Fingers are always crossed
Inside my house
I shoot to kill I don't fuck around

Inside this house I'm terrified

This spirit world is upside down and inside out
We've come too far, we're too pissed off to turn back now
Lifestyle over everything, lifestyle over everyone
They say, freedom has been found
Lay your weapons down

So long, God bless
A new world depressed

This spirit world is upside down and inside out
We've come too far, we're too pissed off to turn back now
They say, freedom has been found
They say, lay your weapons down
Where do we go now?


4.Youth Wasted

The truth is, the truth still hurts
And that dept will just get worse
Repetition makes us colder
Death creeps a little bit closer

Sometimes the best laid plans
Still end with blood on your hands
Sometimes the best laid plans
Still end with blood on your hands

Don't look back and lose your ground
Or keep passing don't slow down
The fault with the burden on each shoulder
The time has come to stop lying over

Sometimes the best laid plans
Still end with blood on your hands
Sometimes the best laid plans
Still end with blood on your hands

The night was black, my eyes were red
Of past, present, future in my head
When did I learn to bite my tongue?
Youth is not wasted on the young

Sometimes the best laid plans
Still end with blood on your hands
Sometimes the best laid plans
Still end with blood on your hands

I gotta get this blood, off our hands
We gotta get this blood, off our hands.


5.Too Many Devils

A suicide at the 7/11,
while on a lotto machine
A lost face like a mirror to heaven
I always lost my numbers, god damn you
There's nothing left for me to sacrifice,
in this living hell
Well everybody got their devils,
but I'm on another level

These desperate times are nothing new,
there's a part of me that's crazier than you
These devils they control my every move
and you would not believe the things they make me do

YEAH...

Ahhh... Annihilation on LSD
a new reality
and you're the one, you're the one for me
so photogenic, schizophrenic is a epidemic

These desperate times are nothing new
there's a part of me that's crazier than you
These devils they control my every move
and you would not believe the things they make me do

I've got too many devils
I've got too many devils
Ahh...
Ahh...

These desperate times are nothing new
there's a part of me that's crazier than you
These devils they control my every move
and you would not believe the things they make me do

Yeah...
I've got too many devils
I've got too many devils...


6.Pilot Light

I'm coming up for air
I can't breathe, I'm dying down here
I'm coming up for life
I got to make some wrong things right
I don't believe in fate
Just choice, just causing unfair
I heard the coast was clear,
is anyone, is any one still there?

If you want advise,
I'm paying the price
Love it strikes once,
it does not strike twice

It wasn't in the cards,
that's what we say when it gets to hard
It wasn't meant to be,
that's what we say, so we don't feel guilty

If you want advise,
I'm paying the price
Love it strikes once,
it does not strike twice

And when it's gone it's gone,
like a pilot light
that keeps you holding on

A truth that's going to set us free
but all it did, was take you away from me

If you want advise,
I'm paying the price
Love it strikes once,
it does not strike twice

And when it's gone it's gone,
like a pilot light
that keeps you holding on

A truth that's going to set us free
but all it did, was take you away from me...


7.Torches

You cannot change the life you were born to live
As you play your part the world will take and give
and magnesite may not be guaranteed
This empires a burden you'll see
The hand cannot owe
What the mind cannot read

The war is just an inch under your skin
And your palace, just a trophies of your sin
Your body just important as your soul
Your powers not complete without control
This empires a burden you'll see
There no polishing this poverty
I'm passing my touch to the blind
I hope your lucks better than mine

Won't you circle the sky waiting for something to die?
Children stare at the sun waiting to bathe in its blood

I won't dull sense of time

I'm passing my touch to the blind
I hope your lucks better than mine
This empires a burden to me
My hands cannot owe
What my eyes cannot see

Vultures circle the sky waiting for something to die
Children stare at the sun waiting to bathe in its blood
Vultures circle the sky waiting for something to die
Children stare at the sun waiting to bathe in its blood

You cannot change the life you were born to live


8.Under the Rabbit

Consider yourself warned
The last one born is the first one torn
And there's a fluid exchange between the sick and the strange
And there's a space in the wall for the rats to crawl

There's a conflict in the concrete
I fear the war, not my fate
And there's a rumor of bodies buried under the floor
And paranoia's a revolving door

Stab slowly and let it die,
This is the best life my money can buy
Under the fault line, under the rabbit
Beginner's luck became a creature of habit

Blind hands are impulsive so consider yourself lucky to live
Considering that you've got nothing to give
There's a theory of death between the man and the stars
And there's a circle of debt around the proud and the poor
But everybody wants more

We were taught to make them wait
To let them deliberate,
Study and destroy

Stab slowly and let it die,
This is the best life my money can buy
Under the fault line, under the rabbit
Beginner's luck became a creature of habit

Under the rabbit
Under the rabbit
Under the rabbit


9.Ribcage

Where not here to entertain you.
We don't care about your rights.
Last night there was a crime wave
and no one survived!
Now give us an explanation.
What's your alibi?
Were you working at the factory
did you work till daylight?

This is an interrogation for information that you're having.
Under the lonely spotlight the tensions too tight so stop
fighting!
You're gonna spill your guts out flat like stained glass
eventually.
Our witnesses can place you at the scene so you best come clean!

The public demand an answer,
The city's on high alert
Give us your confession
and no one gets hurt!
Don't make this worse!

This is an interrogation for information that you're having.

fighting!

10.Valley Heat

I float like a fish in the railway ditch
And nobody wonders why
We're crashing our cars into the hottest bars,
Knowing the dead don't die
What can we do to get attention please?
Tell us, we are on our knees
What can we do to get into approved,
How do we feel complete
Before we are obsolete?

People pay no mind, they don't really care
They just keep moving on, they don't stop to stare
It's like we're not even there
We're not even there

I cut off the head and watch the body dance
And nobody shares a glance
Robbing the banks to fill in the blanks
But not in the jar for free
Looking for charity

People pay no mind, they don't really care
They just keep moving on, they don't stop to stare
We ask ourselves, are we something you'd follow?
Are we too full of ourselves or too hollow?
Oh no

Your now or never world
Your all or nothing mind
Would rather fake a smile
Then get left behind

Why aren't we something you'd follow?
Are we too full of ourselves or too hollow?

People pay no mind, they don't really care
They just keep moving on, they don't stop to stare
It's like we're not even there
We're not even there


11.Life Less Ordinary

I've been to parties like this before
Nobody moves they just stare at the floor
Everyone's watching waiting on me
As if my words will set them free

But I'm not a ghost
No I'm not a god
I hold no power over you
I'm just a lightning rod
I've bottled every crush
Every foolish fantasy
I'm to beautiful for love
There's no sharing vanity

I'm not ashamed to say I've lost my mind
I've been walking backwards all my life
Some might say there's a price I've paid
For a life less ordinary
Welcome to my masquerade

I've been to parties like this before
Where the prom queen is easy on the floor
Nobody know what to say or do
So they point the fingers at you

but I will not be swayed
I won't be led astray
I'm to beautiful for blame
I always get away

but I'm not a ghost
No I'm not a god
I hold no power over you
I'm just a lightning rod

I'm not ashamed to say I've lost my mind
I've been walking backwards all my life
Some might say there's a price I've paid
For a life less ordinary
Welcome to my masquerade

I'm not ashamed to say I've lost my mind
I've been walking backwards all my life
Some might say there's a price I've paid
For a life less ordinary

Welcome to my masquerade
Welcome to my masquerade
Welcome to my masquerade...


12.Last Revelation

He kept his hand held high in the clouds
He made us bow down, shout out loud
He worked the crowd like a man possessed
But there's a church burning in his chest

I think we've been here before
Salvation knocked on our door
Heaven was letting us in
But then we just had to stop and start all over again

This is our last revelation
We had such great expectations
Have we learned nothing at all?
A real close call is just the same as damnation

We got the free world at arms length
They had the vision, desire and strength
We felt the faith works slipping away
When we would pass the collection plate

I swear we've been here before
Salvation knocked on our door
Heaven was letting us in
But then we just had to stop and start all over again

This is our last revelation
We had such great expectations
Have we learned nothing at all?
A real close call is just the same as damnation

This is our last revelation
We had such great expectations
Have we learned nothing at all?
A real close call is just the same as damnation

This is our last revelation
We had such great expectations
Have we learned nothing at all?
A real close call is just the same as damnation


13.Into the Black

I feel like kryptonite
You should run for your life
Somebody's filling me
With toxic energy

Out of the darkness and into the black
Now that I'm heartless, there's no going back

You've been exposed, stripped of your clothes
You're not a man, you've got no skeleton
Your quarantine, sour the scene
Don't blow too hard inside this house of cards

I feel so alien
My mind is pure poison
Don't stand too close to me
You will lose everything

Out of the darkness and into the black

You've been exposed, stripped of your clothes
You're not a man, you've got no skeleton
Your quarantine, sour the scene
Don't blow too hard inside this house of cards

Everybody wants a scapegoat
Sometimes you got to slash your own fuckin throat

You've been exposed, stripped of your clothes
You're not a man, you've got no skeleton
Your quarantine, sour the scene
Don't blow too hard inside this house of cards

I feel like kryptonite
I feel like kryptonite
