Five Finger Death Punch - F8 Album Lyrics

Inside Out

Take it, I don't need it
I don't wanna hear your motherf*ckin' side
You can love it or you can leave it
Because nothing I say and nothing I feel is right

Even if you wanted to, you couldn't understand
While I'm sitting up here dying, you're just holding out your hand
And even if I wanted to, I couldn't have explained
'Cause you don't know the difference between violence and pain

There's no denying it, you've never had control

I stand alone
Guess I knew it all along
Yes I knew that you were wrong
How you left when I was down
I want you to say
It was never really me
You just turned and walked away
How you turned me inside out
Inside out

I'm not a dog (I'm not a dog), I'm not a slave (I'm not a slave)
It doesn't matter how much money I get paid
I give a shit (I give a shit), I never did (I never did)
So you can wipe it away, that silly f*ckin' grin

If I wrote it down for you, could you ever see it clear
Or would it go straight through your soul and come right out your ear
If I slowed it down for you, would you think me insincere
Cause in the end I'll never bend, I'll never shed a tear

There's no denying it, I've always had control

I stand alone
Guess I knew it all along
Yes I knew that you were wrong
How you left when I was down
I want you to say
It was never really me
You just turned and walked away
How you turned me inside out
Inside out
(Inside out)

How you've turned me inside out
Inside out
Inside out
How you've turned me inside out
I'm inside out
So inside out

I stand alone
Guess I knew it all along
Yes I knew that you were wrong
How you left when I was down
I want you to say
It was never really me
You just turned and walked away
How you turned me inside out
Inside out
Inside out

Full Circle

This is not a test, this is not a test
This is not a test, this is not a test

That's it, I f*ckin' had it, I can't take it anymore
Yeah, I know now why I'm losin', well, just look who's keepin' score
Got a vermin preachin' sermon tellin' me how I should think
While they're busy countin' backwards, yeah, you're busy countin' sheep

I know I'm never going to change the world (change the world)
I'm not sure that I could even if I tried (full circle)
I know I'm never going to save the world (save the world)
So I'll sit here laughing as it all goes by (full circle)

Full circle

This is not a test, this is not a test
This is not a test, this is not a test

There's a demon sellin' freedom to a martyr on T.V.
While you're watching you should google, all the ways you've been deceived
There's a new season of treason that you really oughta see
And the bridges that they're burning, well they all lead back to me

I know I'm never going to change the world (change the world)
I'm not sure that I could even if I tried (full circle)
I know I'm never going to save the world (save the world)
So I'll sit here laughing as it all goes by (full circle)

Full circle

I know I'm never gonna change the world
I'm not sure that I could even if I tried

Full circle

I know I'm never going to change the world (change the world)
I'm not sure that I could even if I tried (full circle)
I know I'm never going to save the world (save the world)
So I'll sit here laughing as it all goes by (full circle)

This is not a test, this is not a test
This is not a test, this is not a test (full circle)
This is not a test, this is not a test
This is not a test, this is not a test (full circle)

Living The Dream

Captain America, are you off to fight the bad guys?
Hey, mighty Superman, can you save us from ourselves?
Hey, Mr. Universe, can you lift us up above this?
'Cause I'm just Iron Man, I'm a ghost within a shell

Take a look around
Just look around

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Why did they never mention what's real and in between?
It seems the path we're on was paved with blood and sorrow
No thought about tomorrow
Just part of the machine or so it seems
Yeah, so it seems

We're all living the dream
We're all living the dream

Hey there, Your Majesty, is there anyone above you?
It must be lonely when you're up there looking down
Hey, Lady Amnesty, there's no one that can judge you
We're all just broken toys beneath your crooked crown

Take a look around
Just look around

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Why did they never mention what's real and in between?
It seems the path we're on was paved with blood and sorrow
No thought about tomorrow
Just part of the machine or so it seems
Yeah, so it seems

We're all living the dream

Take a look around
Just look around

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions
Why did they never mention what's real and in between?
It seems the path we're on was paved with blood and sorrow
No thought about tomorrow
Just part of the machine or so it seems
Yeah, so it seems

We're all living the dream
We're all living the dream
We're all living the dream

A Little Bit Off

I'm a little bit off today, something down inside me's different
Woke up a little off today, I can tell that something's wrong
I'm a little thrown off today, there's something going on inside me
I'm a little bit off today, a little bit off today
(I'm a little bit off today, a little bit off)
See, I'm a little bit off today, I cannot put my finger on it
Got up a little off today, just to play that same old song
I don't really wanna try today, I see nothing in my reflection
I'm a little bit dry today, feel like I could die today

(I'm a little bit off today)
Feel like I could die today

Hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey yeah, don't ya know? (I'm a little bit off)
Hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey, you gotta let it go (I'm a little, just a little bit off)

I'm a little pissed off today and there ain't nothing you can do about it
I'm a little put off today and I could not tell you why
Got a really short fuse today, everyone around me's f*cking crazy
I'm a little ticked off today, a little pissed off today
(I'm a little bit off today)
I told a little white lie today, I smiled and told someone I loved them
I had to say goodbye today to someone that I love
I couldn't even cry today, I think my heart is finally broken
Didn't need a reason why today, I don't need a reason why today

Hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey yeah, don't ya know? (I'm a little bit off)
Hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey, you gotta let it go (I'm a little, just a little bit off)

I got a little too high today, got lost inside a sea of madness
Crashed a little bit hard today, crashed a little too hard today
Everybody sing

Hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey yeah, don't ya know? (I'm a little bit off)
Hey yeah, hey yeah
Hey, you gotta let it go (I'm a little, just a little bit off)
Hey, you gotta let it go (I'm a little, just a little bit off)

I'm a little bit off today
Something down inside me feels so different
Just a little bit off today
You can all f*ck off today

To Be Alone

Hey you
Can you tell me when enough is enough?
When you've pushed enough buttons and it's time to back up?
Well, would you know when someone else has had enough of you?
(Of you) Of you
(yes, you)

Just take a second, you should listen to yourself
Everybody is to blame, but no one else is around
Is any of it sinking in and making sense to you?
(Of you) Yes, you
(It's true)

Is there no means to an end?

So tell me, how does it feel to know that no one is coming?
No one is running
When you hit the ground (you hit the ground)
How does it feel to know that no one's around you?
No one will be there
When you hit the ground (you hit the ground)
How does it feel?
How does it feel to be alone?

Well, now that I've got you here and you're all alone
Is there anyone you need to call before we move on?
Well, is there anybody out there thinking of you? (It's true)
Of you (yes, you)

I can see the empty look in your eyes
Like someone came along, stole your heart, and left you to die, yeah
I know the feeling 'cause you did the same things to me
(Of you) It's true
(It's true)

Is there a means to the end?

So tell me, how does it feel to know that no one is coming?
No one is running
When you hit the ground (you hit the ground)
How does it feel to know that no one's around you?
No one will be there
When you hit the ground (you hit the ground)
How does it feel?
How does it feel to be alone?
To be alone

So tell me, how does it feel to know that no one is coming?
No one is running
When you hit the ground (you hit the ground)
How does it feel to know that no one's around you?
No one will be there
When you hit the ground (you hit the ground)
How does it feel?
How does it feel to be alone?

To be alone
To be alone
To be alone

Mother May I (Tic Toc)

Tic toc, time is up
Tic toc, time is up!

(I know you)
You're the one on the magazine covers and everyone loves ya
(Such a star)
You're the one everyone wants to be like, but no one can be

Mother may I have a moment?
Feel I've come undone
Can you stop me from this spinning?
Nowhere left to run

Special's a term that they use
To describe someone
When they're afraid to admit that they're right!

(I see you)
You're the one that's in all of the movies, on everyone's TV's
(Such a farce)
You're convinced that your shit doesn't stink
And we all should adore you

Father can you stop this bleeding?
Hate what we've become
I've turned my cheek so many times
Fear I'm almost done!

Death is a term that they use
To describe something they can't accept
Because it comes with a price!

Tic toc
Tic toc

Grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference

Father can you stop this bleeding?
Hate what we've become
I've turned my cheek so many times
Fear I'm almost done!

Darkness Settles In

Another sun sets down behind me, another day comes crashing in
There's a whispering wind that's blowing, there's a storm that's closing in
I can hear the trains they're rolling to a place I've never been
And I can feel her breath beside me with an empty glass of gin
As the darkness settles in, I can hear her voice again
I can hear your voice again

Waiting for someone to save me but everyone just runs away
Waiting for someone to change me but no one ever comes
I'm breaking down the walls that cage me but nothing ever falls in place
Waiting for the end to take me, blinded by the sun

All the ghosts that live inside me always waiting in the wind
I can see through my reflection, what I've become and what I've been
You see, your Heaven doesn't want me and your Hell won't let me in
It's like I'm holding all the aces but I know I'll never win

Waiting for someone to save me but everyone just runs away
Waiting for someone to change me but no one ever comes
I'm breaking down the walls that cage me but nothing ever falls in place
Waiting for the end to take me, blinded by the sun

You can take it away, tear it all down
Spit in my face, pushed to the ground
Look what I've become
I've fallen from grace, bloodied and bound
Taking up space, lost and I'm found
Look what I've become

I can hear the snakes they're winding
Singing songs of pain and sin
There's an anger overflowing
From this empty glass of gin
As the darkness settles in
And the darkness settles in

Waiting for someone to save me but everyone just runs away
Waiting for someone to change me but no one ever comes
I'm breaking down the walls that cage me but nothing ever falls in place
Waiting for the end to take me, blinded by the sun
(You can take it away) And the darkness settled in
(You can take it away) And the darkness settled in

(You can take it away) As the darkness settles in

This Is War

Un dos tres
Get the f*ck up

Call me insidious sadistic narcissistic demon child
But tell me what's in a name
To me it's all the same
And no one's ever gonna take my side

Ballistic egotistic homicidal animal
I got a predators mind
I'd rather leave it behind
And never let it infect my skull

You want it, you got it, take it
This is war
You want it, you got it, you can keep it
Break it off break it off
You want it, you got it, take it
Mother f*cker this is war
You want it, you got it, you can have it
F*ck it all f*ck it all

You're desensitized computerized a product of the times
But you just follow along
Always rubbing me wrong
You're so convinced that you are right

Dehumanizing polarizing everything you see
They're just wearing you down
Like a rodeo clown
Or maybe that's just me

You want it, you got it, take it
This is war
You want it, you got it, you can keep it
Break it off, break it off
You want it, you got it, take it
Mother f*cker this is war
You want it, you got it, you can have it
F*ck it all, f*ck it all
F*ck

I know you better than you f*cking do
Ya I've seen your kind before
And I ain't impressed at all

You're a snitch, you're a cheat
You're a liar and a thief
You're the weakest of the herd
And you'll get what you deserve

Falling backwards
Down the hole you go

In the hole you go

You want it, you got it, take it
This is war
You want it, you got it, you can keep it
Break it off break it off
You want it, you got it, take it
Mother f*cker this is war
You want it, you got it, you can have it
F*ck it all, f*ck it all

You want it, you got it, take it
This is war
You want it, you got it, you can keep it
Break it off, break it off
You want it, you got it, take it
Mother f*cker this is war
You want it, you got it, you can have it
F*ck it all f*ck it all
F*ck

Leave It All Behind

Was there ever a time, that you could define
Tell me was there ever a time that you could refine
What was boiling deep inside you
What was building up inside you

So what'll you do when none of it's true
Ya gonna go and break the mirror you thought was you
While it's coming down around you
It's all falling down around you

If I took away your one excuse
Helped you down and cut the noose
Would you leave it all behind you
Could you leave this all behind you

If you tore away the tourniquet
And you put yourself in front of it
Could you leave this all behind you
Would you leave this all behind you

Tell me was there ever a way, ever a day
You could have simply walked away or talked your way
Out of what was changing deep inside you
Rearranging what's inside you

While you're lookin' around for someone to blame
I hear that you been running around dropping my name
While the ship you're on is sinking
What the f*ck have you been thinking

If I took away your one excuse
Helped you down and cut the noose
Would you leave it all behind you
Could you leave this all behind you

If you tore away the tourniquet
And you put yourself in front of it
Could you leave this all behind you
Would you leave this all behind you

If I took away your one excuse
Helped you down and cut the noose
Would you leave it all behind you
Could you leave this all behind you

If you tore away the tourniquet
And you put yourself in front of it
Could you leave this all behind you
Would you leave this all behind you

If I took away your one excuse
Helped you down and cut the noose
Would you leave it all behind you
Could you leave this all behind you

If you tore away the tourniquet
And you put yourself in front of it
Could you leave this all behind you
Would you leave this all behind you

Scar Tissue

You ripped my heart out and you threw it away
Torn away, threw away, ripped away
Been pushing buttons since the day that we met
All the pain, it's a shame, you're insane

Infectious
I bleed you out
So precious
You're empty

You're always saving face and hiding behind love
There's nothing left to save, just look what we've become
Scar tissue

You run in circles and you plant f*ckin' lies
Escalate all the hate you create
There's just no end and you're so quick to defend
Fabricate medicate isolate

Infectious
I bleed you out
So precious
You're empty

You're always saving face and hiding behind love
There's nothing left to save, just look what we've become
Scar tissue

You're always saving face and hiding behind love
There's nothing left to save, just look what we've become
Scar tissue

Brighter Side of Grey

I'm writing this in case I'm gone tomorrow
I'm writing this in case I've moved along
There's something that I hope you'll remember
That life is not a game, it's a song

So take the best parts of me
Locked away without the keys
And know that I'm forever by your side

When the lights go down
Know that I am never far away
When the sun burns out
I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey

If you're reading this, I know you're feeling sorrow
If you're hearing this, I know you're probably scared
Just know that all the things you want are borrowed
And all you get to keep is all you've shared

So wipe away the tears for me
Know that we've made history
Remember no one ever really dies

When the lights go down
Know that I am never far away
When the sun burns out
I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey

When the lights go down
Know that I am never far away
When the sun burns out
I'll be waiting on the brighter side of grey

Making Monsters (Bonus)

Ladies and leeches welcome to the game
Everyone's invited cause everybody plays
All you gotta do is sign away the things you love the most
One day they're beating down your door
The next they're pissing on your ghost

And while you're building it up
I'm out here tearing it down
While you're trying to come up
I'm making monsters

Monster
I'm just a monster
Making monsters
I'm just a monster

Yeah everyone knows it but no one does a thing
You've gotta get dirty to ever get clean

Kicking and screaming scorch the f*ckin' earth

And while you're ripping shit up
I'm out here breaking new ground
What the hell do I know

Monster
I'm just a monster
Making monsters
I'm just a monster
Making Monsters

You've called me a disease
Treat me like an infection
You'd hoped I'd fade away
That is my motivation

This isn't bending knee
This isn't self reflection
What did you think I'd do
This is retaliation

I'm just a monster
Monster
I'm just a monster
Making Monsters

I'm just a monster
Making Monsters

Inside Out (Radio Edit)

Take it, I don't need it
I don't wanna hear your motherf*ckin' side
You can love it or you can leave it
Because nothing I say and nothing I feel is right

Even if you wanted to, you couldn't understand
While I'm sitting up here dying, you're just holding out your hand
And even if I wanted to, I couldn't have explained
'Cause you don't know the difference between violence and pain

There's no denying it, you've never had control

I stand alone
Guess I knew it all along
Yes I knew that you were wrong
How you left when I was down
I want you to say
It was never really me
You just turned and walked away
How you turned me inside out
Inside out

I'm not a dog (I'm not a dog), I'm not a slave (I'm not a slave)
It doesn't matter how much money I get paid
I give a shit (I give a shit), I never did (I never did)
So you can wipe it away, that silly f*ckin' grin

If I wrote it down for you, could you ever see it clear
Or would it go straight through your soul and come right out your ear
If I slowed it down for you, would you think me insincere
Cause in the end I'll never bend, I'll never shed a tear

There's no denying it, I've always had control

I stand alone
Guess I knew it all along
Yes I knew that you were wrong
How you left when I was down
I want you to say
It was never really me
You just turned and walked away
How you turned me inside out
Inside out
(Inside out)

How you've turned me inside out
Inside out
Inside out
How you've turned me inside out
I'm inside out
So inside out

I stand alone
Guess I knew it all along
Yes I knew that you were wrong
How you left when I was down
I want you to say
It was never really me
You just turned and walked away
How you turned me inside out
Inside out
Inside out
