Three Days Grace - Explosions Album Lyrics

Can't laugh, can't cry, can't live, can't die
Can't do anything anymore, no
Can't love, can't breath, can't talk, can't sleep
But I can't seem to stay awake anymore, oh

What a time to be alive
Such a waste of f*cking time

Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so called life
Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so called life

Feels like I wanna jump
Wanna scream, wanna run
Wanna f*cking put a chainsaw through the wall, yeah
Feels like I'm living in a world where everybody's all for none
And none for all, yeah

What a time to be alive
Such a waste of f*cking time

Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so called life
Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so called life

What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
What a time to be alive
Such a waste of f*cking time

Feels like I wanna jump
Wanna scream, wanna run
Wanna f*cking put a chainsaw through the wall

Oh, gimme something
Oh, gimme something

Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so called life
Oh, gimme something to take the edge off
Something to kick the night off
Something to keep my mind off
This so called life

Who would I be if I never met
A teacher, priest, or a prophet?
What do I need, tell me what does it mean
Am I living or dying the dream?

Youth is broken
Half of it was stolen
By a world I can't un-see
Youth is broken
Half of it was stolen
Look what you've done to me

I was a target
I was the mission
You had the power
The ammunition

Now I'm the message
This is a lesson
Here in the present
I am the weapon

Now I'm the message
This is a lesson
Here in the present
I am the weapon

Your concept of love
And your hunger for war
Tell me which one should I die for?
'Cause I am a product
Of how I was brought up
The cycle spins out of control

Youth is broken
Half of it was stolen
By a world I can't un-see
Youth is broken
Half of it was stolen
Look what you've done to me

I was a target
I was the mission
You had the power
The ammunition

Now I'm the message
This is a lesson
Here in the present
I am the weapon

Now I'm the message
This is a lesson
Here in the present
I am the weapon

Am I living or dying the dream?
Am I living or dying the dream?

Youth is broken
Half of it was stolen
By a world I can't un-see
Youth is broken
Half of it was stolen
Look what you've done to me

I was a target
I was the mission
You had the power
The ammunition

Now I'm the message (now I'm the message)
This is a lesson (this is a lesson)
Here in the present (here in the present)
I am the weapon

Now I'm the message (I am the weapon)
This is a lesson (I am the weapon)
Here in the present (I am the weapon)
I am the weapon

I can't get down from this high
Somebody check my vital signs
'Cause I'm in trouble this time
I'm in trouble this time, I'm in trouble
I gotta run for my life before I'm buried alive
I don't wanna die
Yeah, I'm in trouble this time
I need a lifeline, I'm in trouble

I'm barely breathing
I need some kind of healing
I'm feeling neurotic
But there's a little in all of us
Some say I'm neurotic
I'm addicted to all of it
I'm barely breathing
I need some kind of healing
I'm feeling neurotic

On a one way trip
There's no way to get out of it
Am I dead or alive?
It's such a fine line, such a fine line
(It's like the devil's inside)
It's like the devil's inside
It's like the devil's inside
It's like the devil's

Keeping me from breathing
I need some kind of healing
I'm feeling neurotic
But there's a little in all of us
Some say I'm neurotic
I'm addicted to all of it
I'm barely breathing
I need some kind of healing
I'm feeling neurotic

And I swear I never saw it coming
I always thought I could keep outrunning
My demons, I didn't believe them but they're
Catching up to me

I can't get down from this high
Somebody check my vital signs

I'm feeling neurotic
But there's a little in all of us
(And I swear I never saw it coming)
Some say I'm neurotic
I'm addicted to all of it
(And I swear I never saw it coming)
I'm barely breathing
I need some kind of healing

Neurotic
I think the devil's inside
I think the devil's inside
I think the devil
I'm barely breathing
I think I'm losing my mind
It's such a fine line
It's such a fine line

Called to say hello
Your voice always takes the pain away
The thought is unimaginable
That I saw you for the last time and didn't know

You were the one that I wasn't supposed to lose
I thought I'd have you for my lifetime
Have you for a lifetime

Now I'm walking 'round in a haze
There's no color, only darker shades of gray
You showed me the way when I was lost and alone
But you never really showed me how to let you go

You were the one that I wasn't supposed to lose
I thought I'd have you for my lifetime
Have you for a lifetime
Who do I talk to when I wanna talk to you?
I thought I'd have you for a lifetime
Have you for a lifetime

Never again
Never again
Will I look into the only eyes that knew me
Feels like a bullet right through me
Never again
Never again
Will I look into the only eyes that knew me

You were the one that I wasn't supposed to lose
I thought I'd have you for a lifetime
Have you for a lifetime
You were the one that I wasn't supposed to lose
I thought I'd have you for my lifetime
Have you for a lifetime

I thought I'd have you for my lifetime
Have you for a lifetime

When you get so overwhelmed
And the pressure gets too much
They kick you when you're down
And say you're just not good enough
A scar is born

When the one you can't live without
Disappears before your eyes
You can't stop thinking about
How you never got to say goodbye
A scar is born

Do you remember
The moment
Your heart ripped
Wide open?
The moment when you started to grieve
Believe

Every time a heart aches
Every time a soul breaks
A scar is born
A scar is born

When the love's one-sided
And you're uninvited
A scar is born
A scar is born

When you're desperate to release
What's bottled up inside
And there's no one left to trust
And there's nowhere left to hide
A scar is born

When you don't know what to believe
When you're tired of being deceived
And being told what life to lead
A scar is born

Do you remember
The moment
Your heart ripped
Wide open?
The moment when you started to grieve
Believe

Every time a heart aches
Every time a soul breaks
A scar is born
A scar is born

When the love's one-sided
And you're uninvited
A scar is born
A scar is born

The darkness, you feel it
The sharpness, no healing
Never has it cut you so deep, so deep
Do you remember the moment
Your heart ripped wide open?
The moment when you started to grieve

It's a dark reminder
Of a place and time where
Your heart was torn
A scar is born

When the love's one-sided
And you're uninvited
A scar is born
A scar is born

Do you remember
The moment
Your heart ripped
Wide open?

There's nothing more beautiful than a distant star
Proof of our ignorance
Proof of how small we are

Remember gettin' high on the hood
Of my broke down car
Remember how innocent
We no longer are (we no longer are)

We don't know why we're here
But we're not here for long
We're not here for long
Surrounded by souvenirs
From days that are gone
As we bravely carry on

We like the words love and trust and invincible
But then trust falls apart
And love turns miserable

And the light disappears
The only thing clear
The only thing clear is

We don't know why we're here
But we're not here for long
Pretend nothings wrong
Surrounded by souvenirs
From days that are gone
But still we carry on

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

We all need a memory we can hold onto
At least a few souvenirs
To show some proof

We don't know why we're here
But we're not here for long
Pretend nothings wrong
Surrounded by souvenirs
From days that are gone
As we barely carry on

Don't wanna waste my time thinkin' 'bout what's missin'
The past is gone and the future's fiction
No use in tripping over not existin'
You can take your time
But time's tickin'

The cure for the sorrow
Is to live like there's no tomorrow
Blow it up, pull the pin from the inside
The cure for the sorrow
Is to live like there's no tomorrow (no tomorrow)
Nothing lasts, no one wins, but it's alright

I'm gonna ride or die for all of my life
And I'll make it through the night if it's not my time, yeah
You can't get by when you're afraid of dyin'
You can't get high with a fear of flyin'

The cure for the sorrow
Is to live like there's no tomorrow (no tomorrow)
Blow it up, pull the pin from the inside
The cure for the sorrow
Is to live like there's no tomorrow (no tomorrow)
Nothing lasts, no one wins, but it's alright

I need to break away
From the pain of the past
That doesn't matter anyway
Pull the pin and detonate

The cure for the sorrow
Is to live like there's no tomorrow (no tomorrow)
Blow it up, pull the pin from the inside
The cure for the sorrow
Is to live like there's no tomorrow (no tomorrow)
Nothing lasts, no one wins, but it's alright

I know sorry is not enough
To erase all the pain from when I messed up
I'm not here to overturn my conviction
These eyes are on a road
The road to redemption

Well it's only until you lose
Everything that you love that you're forced to choose
And there's nothing like a crash to get your attention
To keep you on the straight
The road to redemption

I know there's nights when it felt like living hell
All those nights when I almost killed myself
In the end you never left
When I needed your forgiveness

It's a long way down from the fall
And the terrible truths, yeah, I own them all
And I had to hit the bottom to change my direction
To find my way back
Back to redemption

I know there's nights when it felt like living hell
All those nights when I almost killed myself
In the end you never left
When I needed your forgiveness

When everyone left me for dead
You never gave up, you never quit
I remember the words you said
We can still be good again

Now I'm looking you in the eyes
My soul on my sleeve, nothing more to hide
And I'm never going back to that condition
You showed me the way to redemption

I know there's nights when it felt like living hell
All those nights when I almost killed myself
In the end, you never left when
I needed your
Needed your forgiveness

I was born to run
No waiting for the starting gun
There's no way I'm giving up
'Cause it's just not in my blood

I got fire from the stone
Blood from the ice
You don't know about the sacrifice
To get where I am
To do what I've done
I've got the heart of a champion
Fire from the stone
Blood from the ice
You don't know about the sacrifice
To get where I am
To do what I've done
I've got the heart of a
Heart of a champion

Mind of a
Soul of a
Heart of a champion
Mind of a

I know what it takes
'Cause I learned the hardest way
I think I'm starting to like the pain
Of getting knocked down and up again

I got fire from the stone
Blood from the ice
You don't know about the sacrifice
To get where I am
To do what I've done
I got the heart of a champion
Fire from the stone
Blood from the ice
You don't know about the sacrifice
To get where I am
To lose what I've won
I got the heart of a
Heart of a champion

Mind of a

I got fire from the stone

You don't know about the sacrifice
To get where I am
To do what I've done
I've got the heart of a champion
I got fire from the stone
Blood from the ice
You don't know about the sacrifice
To get where I am
To lose what I've won
I've got the heart of a
Heart of a champion

Do you have any friends at all?
People told me that you sounded like a dying pig
Did you think you'd get a part?
You definitely do need makeup

You're not afraid to walk alone
You hide it well but still it shows
The chain of abuse that's led you here
To me and now you need to know

You think that everyone hates you
But I don't, I don't
When everyone tries to use you
I won't, I won't

The past is gone, so let it go
The hand that held you down is broke
You fall, I catch
If you're on the edge
I'll keep you hanging on

You think that everyone hates you
But I don't, I don't
When everyone tries to use you
I won't, I won't

I know it's hard to go on sometimes
When nothin' ever seems to change
I know it's hard to go on sometimes
But tomorrow is a different day

You think that everyone hates you
But I don't, I don't
When everyone tries to use you
I won't, I won't

I know it's hard to go on sometimes
When nothin' ever seems to change

I just wanted you to love me like I loved you
But I guess I was asking for too much
I just wanted you to be there like I was there for you
But I guess I was asking for too much

I just want someone to talk to
I just want someone to talk to

I just wanted to tell you everything that haunts me
But I guess that I scared you too much
I don't blame you for thinking I'm a little crazy
Maybe I'm too hard to love

I just want someone to talk to
I just want someone to talk to

A little too late to go back in time
And now I'm alone and don't know why
Was living too fast, I pushed you away
Said all the wrong words to get you to stay

I just want someone to talk to

I just want someone to talk to
I just want someone to talk to
All I really wanted was you to talk to
I just want someone to talk to

Hell is something you create yourself
All is right, all is well
There's no reason not to be yourself
Take a breath, look around

We're born in a universe full of explosions
Raised by the animal, chained to emotion
There's no reason not to have a little fun
One more trip around the sun
We're born in a universe full of explosions

Fear is just a feeling that can fall away
Let it go, let it fade
Life is more than an emergency
Here and now, seize the day

We're born in a universe full of explosions
Raised by the animal, chained to emotion
There's no reason not to have a little fun
One more trip around the sun
We're born in a universe full of explosions

Nothing but a grain of sand
In the sea and on the land
Spinning on a rock back to the nothing (back to the nothing)
There's more stars than grains of sand
So much we don't understand
Spinning on a rock back to the nothing

Hell is something you create yourself
All is right, all is well
Pain is only real if you live to tell
In peace and war
We'll ride the storm

We're born in a universe full of explosions
Raised by the animal, chained to emotion
There's no reason not to have a little fun
One last trip before we're done
We're born in a universe full of explosions
