Heaven :x: Hell Album Lyrics by Sum 41

Waiting On a Twist of Fate

(Make no mistakes)
Time is just a fuse
It's burning fast, nothing lasts
Every which way you lose
(What's to explain)
There's nothing left to say
You're living fast, f*ck the past
Looking like a heart attack

(In life it seems, we fade away)
(I'm fully empty fueled with apathy)

And now I'm done with lies
And everything that you've got to say
I've opened my mind
But it's more than I could ever take
And if I had more time
Well, maybe I could find some faith
I can't spend my life
Just waiting on a twist of fate

In time why don't you look at what you've done
Lies 'cause I bet you think you've won

(We live and die with no explanations)
(What might have been's now against the wall)

And now I'm done with lies
And everything that you've got to say
I've opened my mind
But it's more than I could ever take
And if I had more time
Well, maybe I could find some faith
I can't spend my life
Just waiting on a twist of fate

Done with lies and all that you got to say
'Cause in my mind, it's more than I can take

And now I'm done with lies
And everything that you've got to say
I've opened my mind
But it's more than I could ever take
And if I had more time
Well, maybe I could find some faith
I can't spend my life
Just waiting on a twist of fate

(So) in life it seems, we fade away
I'm fully empty fueled with apathy
In life it seems, we fade away
I'm fully empty fueled with apathy

Landmines

And I don't wanna believe
That maybe this is the end
I know you're kind of a tease
But is this really pretend?
Something tells me I'm wrong
But you, I never can tell
The way you drag me along
The way I put you through hell

Tell me am I insane?
Is this where we belong?
Is it pleasure or pain
How we're still hanging on?
Going out of my head
You know true love is dead
But what you said has got me hanging on

I can't help but walk through your landmines
Ten feet and I'm going outta my mind
I'm not right without you, is that so wrong?
I can't help but walk through your landmines
I'm bleeding and all I need is a sign
I'm out here and I've been waiting so long

Oh, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
You've got me hanging on
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
You've got me hanging

Maybe I'm out of luck
Maybe all of it's bad
I'm not sure why we broke up
It was the best that I had
They say it's all for the best
I think that fate is a lie
And now my hair is a mess
And you're a little bit high

Should I give it a chance?
Is it ever enough?
No more blood on our hands
No more f*cking it up
Going out of my head
All the tears that I bled
And what you said has got me hanging on

I can't help but walk through your landmines
Ten feet and I'm going outta my mind
I'm not right without you, is that so wrong?
I can't help but walk through your landmines
I'm bleeding and all I need is a sign
I'm out here and I've been waiting so long

Oh, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
You've got me hanging on
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
You've got me hanging

All I need to know
Is should I stay or is it time for me to go?
I don't wanna waste another minute, no
The story's getting old
All I want to know
Is whether I should stay or is it time for me to go?

I can't help but walk through your landmines
Ten feet and I'm going outta my mind
I'm not right without you, is that so wrong?
I can't help but walk through your landmines
I'm bleeding and all I need is a sign
I'm now here and I've been waiting so long

Oh, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
You've got me hanging on
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa
You've got me hanging

I Can't Wait

One thing I know is that I'm not alright
Don't tell me everything will be just fine
Don't have to listen to a word you say
'Cause you're my worst mistake

There's nothing you can do to change my mind
I'm getting out to leave it all behind
You had a good thing, but you f*cked it up
And I just had enough

I can't wait just to see your face in all it's glory
I will break all that matters 'cause you make me sick

You came to my world and it knocked me out
You f*cked it up, so, are you happy now?
The times have changed and so did I
We figured you out

I'm not here to tell you how to live your life
But I can't give you very good advice
The more you take could be, and you'll lose more than you ever knew

I can't wait just to see your face in all it's glory
I can't wait just to hear you tell the same old story
I just hate all the time with you but nothing's wasted
I will break all that matters 'cause you make me sick

One thing I know is that I'll be alright
I know that everything will be just fine
I'll never listen to a word you say
'Cause you're my worst mistake

I can't wait just to see your face in all it's glory
I can't wait just to hear you tell the same old story
I just hate all the time with you, but nothing's wasted
I will break all that matters 'cause you make me sick

Time Won't Wait

It's about time I call up to meet you
Don't say it's too late to make a move
I know what us two could lead to
Heartaches, good sex and some bad tattoos

All night I'm out on a mission
Let's say we meet up at 4AM
I don't know what I must be thinking
I keep telling myself to

Get out, get out, get out
You'll never make it
I know, I know, I know
She's gonna bring me down
Too late, too late
I can't escape it now
'Cause I don't think that I can trust myself
I will screw it up right now
Until we make a great mistake
And all I really know is time won't wait

More nights that I can't remember
And more days that seem like they're just a blur
You're like a brand-new adventure
In some ways I feel like you're just the cure

I'm not just playing the victim
'Cause these days and nights, they all just repeat
I don't know what I must be thinking
I keep telling myself to

Get out, get out, get out
You'll never make it
I know, I know, I know
She's gonna bring me down
Too late, too late
I can't escape it now
'Cause I don't think that I can trust myself
I will screw it up right now
Until we make a great mistake
And all I really know is time won't wait

Time won't wait

All night I'm out on a mission
Let's say we meet up at 4AM
I don't know what I must be thinking
I keep telling myself to

Get out, get out, get out
You'll never make it
I know, I know, I know
She's gonna bring me down
Too late, too late
I can't escape it now
'Cause I don't think that I can trust myself
I will screw it up right now
Until we make a great mistake
And all I really know is time won't wait

Future Primative

Another day, I've got no convictions
Hard to say when it all will end
And either way it's to hell with ambitions
Losing faith is the brand new trend

I won't believe it
I see no exceptions
We've both been cheated
But you call it free
This social disease is just getting to me
I don't want to waste
So I'm letting go
Maybe we're all to blame
It's all too much now
Whoa, whoa
Lately it's all the same
So I'm just letting go

You're asking me why the future looks empty
Nothing more but some dead-end sights
It's looking bleak and less than tempting
We're just losing our state of mind

I won't believe it
I'll see no exceptions
We've all been cheated
But you call it free
The social disease is just getting to me
I don't want to waste
So I'm letting go
Maybe we're all to blame
It's all too much now
Whoa, whoa
Lately it's all the same
So I'm just letting go

It's too late to change your mind
So kill yours, I'll kill mine

Another day, I've got no convictions
Hard to say when it all will end
And either way it's to hell with ambitions
Losing faith is the brand new trend

I won't believe it
I see no exceptions
We've both been cheated
But you call it free
The social disease is just getting to me
I don't want to waste
So I'm letting go
Maybe we're all to blame
It's all too much now
Whoa, whoa
Lately it's all the same
So I'm just letting go

No faith, no waves of sound
No trace of beating, there's nothing
No sound

Dopamine

You said you did it for the dopamine
You didn't mean to leave me so f*cked up
You did it for the dopamine
And could it be that I'm just not enough?
It's so hard to accept
That you're gone and that's it
You did it for the dopamine
And it didn't mean anything at all

God, I've been up for days
I've been losing my mind
Caught up thinking of ways
I could turn back the time
Time is not on my side
I don't know what to say
Feeling empty inside
Now that she's gone away

I can picture you in someone else's place
And he's got his hands running down your face
Is it in my head 'cause I just can't let my demons go?

You just did it for the dopamine
You didn't mean to leave me so f*cked up
You did it for the dopamine
And could it be that I'm just not enough?
It's so hard to accept
That you're gone and that's it
You did it for the dopamine
And it didn't mean anything at all

I guess you threw it away
I don't know who to blame
Leave it all at a day
And just put out the flame
Told me time and again you don't believe in the past
It was us against them but nothing good could last

I can feel it now, and it hurts like hell
Can you live without me? Only time will tell
Is it in my head 'cause I just can't let my demons go?

You just did it for the dopamine
You didn't mean to leave me so f*cked up
You did it for the dopamine
And could it be that I'm just not enough?
It's so hard to accept
That you're gone and that's it
You did it for the dopamine
And it didn't mean anything at all

(Yeah, yeah)
It didn't mean anything at all
(Yeah, yeah)
It didn't mean anything at all
(At all, at all, at all)
(At all, at all, at all)

You just did it for the dopamine
You didn't mean to leave me so f*cked up
You did it for the dopamine
And could it be that I'm just not enough?
It's so hard to accept
That you're gone and that's it
You did it for the dopamine
And it didn't mean anything at all

(Yeah, yeah)
It didn't mean anything at all
(Yeah, yeah)
It didn't mean anything at all

I Could Use Some Help

I'm not really quite myself, there's something missing
I'm just calling out for help

Find another way to fake a smile

Just another day with no direction, it's going out of style
All these little pills don't seem to work
I'm always in a daze, there's no connection, and all I've got is

Words to say, but all my people skills get in the way
And I can't keep it straight, so

I'm not really quite myself, there's something missing
I'm just calling out for help, but no one's listening
All these thoughts are in my head and I'm just hanging by a thread, yeah
I guess I could use some help


(Guess I could use some help)

Counting the days since I felt all right
I've lost track, giving up, but it's no surprise
Don't tell me everything will turn out fine
Nothing bigger than the little things in life
Some days, well, I just don't relate
Bad habits, or are they all mistakes?
Maybe it's a cause for some concern
Lately I've only got these

Words to say, but my people skills just get stuck in the way
And I can't get it straight, so

I'm not really quite myself, there's something missing
I 'm just calling out for help, but no one's listening

All these thoughts are in my head and I'm just hanging by a thread, yeah
I guess I could use some help

Guess I could use some help

I guess I could use some help, but no one's listening
I'm not really quite myself , there's something missing

I'm not really quite myself (There's something missing)
I'm just calling out for help (But no one's listening)
All these thoughts are in my head and I'm just hanging by a thread, yeah
I guess I could use some help

Bad Mistake

I'm only saying this 'cause I don't give a damn
Got it so hard when you're around
It seems to me that you could never understand
We're always on uneven ground
And now it's

It's come to this
And I don't think we'll make it through

We're just a bad mistake
From a simple twist of fate
And maybe we should give in to defeat
Oh, it's the price we pay
From the choices that we make
I wish it didn't have to be so steep
But now you know, know
That I just wanna go, go
Yeah, I just wanna-

Sometimes I wonder, maybe, I just need to learn
Sometimes it's hard to walk away
And yeah it's true that lately I can be a jerk
I've got no time for masquerades
'Cause now it's-

It's come to this
And I don't think we'll make it through

We're just a bad mistake
From a simple twist of fate
And maybe we should give in to defeat
Oh, it's the price we pay
From the choices that we make
I wish it didn't have to be so steep
But now you know, know
That I just wanna go, go
Yeah, I just wanna know, know
That I just wanna go, go
Yeah, I just wanna-

It's come to this
And I don't think we'll make it through
You always said that I jump ship
I guess it's true, I gotta get away from you

We're just a bad mistake
From a simple twist of fate
And maybe we should give in to defeat
Oh, it's the price we pay
From the choices that we make
I wish it didn't have to be so steep
But now you know, know
That I just wanna go, go
Yeah, I just wanna know, know
That I just wanna go, go
Yeah, I just wanna-

Johnny Libertine

Going nowhere fast, no direction is my aim
But spinning in circles, what could be smarter?
Dropout at best, no future to be claimed
Nevertheless, I'm a bullshit martyr

This is just the way it's supposed to be
I'm the spitting image of a tragedy, well

I'm Johnny Libertine
The best that you've ever seen
The one and only saint
To society's complaints
And it's all that I'll ever be

Holier than thou, I'm a king, whatever right?
Son of a bitch by no relation
Mother was worth saving, I'm Catcher in the Rye
Leader of the dropout generation

This is just the way it's supposed to be
I'm the spitting image of a tragedy, well

I'm Johnny Libertine
The best that you've ever seen
The one and only saint
To society's complaints
And it's all that I'll ever be

And I'm so sick and tired of simple minded hypocrites
F*cked up, in denial
Victims of a miserable existence
So I try to fake a smile

And I don't know you
No one is sacred to me
Life don't owe you
Nothing but hatred in me
I don't want you
'Cause I just don't wanna be liked
I don't owe you
Paid all my debts in my blood
Now I'm running out

I'm Johnny Libertine
The best that you've ever seen
The one and only saint
To society's complaints
And it's all that I'll ever be

Radio Silence

When all my faith just brings me down
And I can't stand on solid ground
Memories that I can't erase
I'm stuck in that old familiar place

I wish that I could let things go
I wouldn't have to feel this low
And I don't want to bring you down
But I fear I'm going to

Light up the air, light up the air
No more secrets, nothing I can bare
Light up the air, show me you care
'Cause I'm calling up to you again
But you're not there

Oh, tell me things that don't ring true
'Cause I don't mind the worst in you
Let me feel like we belong
Even though it is so wrong

'Cause you could tell the perfect lie
And I'd still be satisfied
'Cause I don't wanna be let down
But I fear I'm going to

Light up the air, light up the air
No more secrets, nothing I can bare
Light up the air, show me you care
'Cause I'm calling up to you again

'Cause I'm feeling
'Cause I'm feeling
But I'm only on the outside looking in
And it tears me apart

('Cause I don't wanna be let down
But I fear I'm going to)

Light up the air, light up the air
No more secrets, nothing I can bare
Light up the air, show me you care
'Cause I'm calling up to you again
But you're not there (feeling)
'Cause I'm calling up to you again (feeling)
But you're not there (feeling)
'Cause I'm calling up to you again (feeling)
But you're not there

Preparasi a Salire

Rise up even when we're broken
Times up, fame is for the chosen
I'm not giving into bullshit
I won't fail

Rise up even when we're broken
Times up, fame is for the chosen
I'm not giving into bullshit
I won't fail

(Rise up even when we're broken) I've never felt this more alive
(Times up, fame is for the chosen) I don't want to miss a day
(I'm not giving into bullshit) I was lost but now I found my way
(I won't fail)

(Rise up even when we're broken) I don't wanna close my eyes
(Times up, fame is for the chosen) 'cause I can never get enough
(I'm not giving into bullshit) Like the sun, it's time that I rise up
(I won't fail)

I don't wanna close my eyes
I can never get enough
Like the sun, it's time that I rise up

---

Rise Up

(I told you I'd rise up)

You'd be mistaken if you thought I was gone
'Cause I've been waiting for this moment too long (whoa-oh)
Just to see the worry in your eyes
I bet you thought that I had fallen away
It never crossed your mind that there'd be a day (whoa-oh)
I'd return to look into your eyes

Don't pray for me
You said there's no hope in forgiving
You're happy to just leave me for the dead
Well time has passed
I'm very much the living
And all that's left is to leave you seeing red

So when you think you've got me by a thread
You need to think again
'Cause I know you never thought this would be how it ends
I told you I'd rise up

I don't believe that you have got any soul
You're just a breed of your own kind all alone (whoa-oh)
An architect of your own decline (your own decline)
Nothing's sacred anymore that's the past
It's falling further even more out of grasp (whoa-oh)
You're replaced and running out of time

No prayers from me
You see, I'm not the one you think, will
Just let it go and leave it all behind
You're dead to me and I don't even feel guilt
Just take a look 'cause it's time for me to rise

So when you think you've got me by a thread
You need to think again
'Cause I know you never thought this would be how it ends
I told you I'd rise up

I told you I'd rise up

I don't wanna close my eyes
I can never get enough
Like the sun it's time that I rise up

So when you think you've got me by a thread
You need to think again
'Cause I know you never thought this would be how it ends
I told you I'd rise up

I told you I'd rise up
I told you I'd rise up

Stranger In These Times

I'm born of broken molds don't ever think you're like me
Your tied up in the past the best has passed you by
I'm on a different plane so watch your step, tread lightly
(Don't expect me to understand you)
You need to rid yourself of desperation

I'm feeling claustrophobic
Not sure if I can take it
Hoping no one knows it
That I'm just trying to fake it
I'm about to blow it
My feet and hands are shaking
I think that I'm about to tear this place apart

How long, how long will I pretend I'm fine
While I'm living this life
A stranger in these times
How long, how long 'til I can answer why
I'm gonna live and not die
A stranger in these times

I'm bored of imbecilic morons dear God, it's frightening
Your time is up so I'll just leave you all behind
'Cause nothing's sacred and I'm betting it's not likely
(I don't expect you to understand me)
That you could find yourself a new temptation

I'm feeling claustrophobic
Not sure if I can take it
Hoping no one knows that
I'm just trying to fake it
I'm about to blow it
My feet and hands are shaking
I think I'm gonna have to tear this place apart

How long, how long will I pretend I'm fine
While I'm living this life
A stranger in these times
How long, how long 'til I can answer why
I'm gonna live and not die
A stranger in these times

My insecurities are telling me to turn and walk away
They get the best of me, reality just slowly slips away

How long, how long will I pretend I'm fine
While I'm living this life
A stranger in these times
How long, how long 'til I can answer why
I'm gonna live and not die
A stranger in these times

Don't Need Anyone

Where's my saving grace? It seems I've sold my soul for parts
Am I just too late? Or am I still just holding all the cards?
Well there's some mistakes, 'cause you possess a greedy soul
There's been no escape, I'm taken down by your control

I'm the one you, knew it all along, you were
Beneath the shadows where you never had to matter, well
Now it's done, this nightmare's dead and gone
I will just cut the ties that held me
You will see, I don't need anyone

You really played your part, you really made us all believe
It was from the heart, and we all fell for your disease
Right from the start, you always knew just how to bleed
You made an art of pulling all my crooked teeth

I'm the one, you knew it all along, you were
Beneath the shadows where you never had to matter, well
Now it's done, this nightmare's dead and gone
I will just cut the ties that held me
You will see, I don't need anyone

No way you can hide, no way to survive
Time eats you alive, leaves you empty inside
There's no way to survive, time eats you alive
Now I've made up my mind

I'm the one, you knew it all along, you were
Beneath the shadows where you never had to matter, well
Now it's done, this nightmare's dead and gone
I will just cut the ties that held me
You will see, I don't need anyone

Over the Edge

Where does it end? How 'bout revenge
I'd fallen prey to the madness that burns bright red
It's not enough, to give it up
I need a god that doesn't fail but I'm all out of trust now
Your lies are a disease and you've been bleeding black

Over the edge and it's too late 'cause now I'm letting go
In the end, I can't stay in this cycle of control
It's hard to breathe
I can't find reason to believe
So this is the end and it's the last you'll hear from me

Right from the start, you showed your cards
Guess it's my fault for thinking that it was from the heart
This starts again, new life begins
Second chance for redemption but this time I win so
Your lies are a disease and you've been bleeding black

Over the edge and it's too late 'cause now I'm letting go
In the end, I can't stay in this cycle of control
It's hard to breathe
I can't find reason to believe
So this is the end and it's the last you'll hear from me

Over the edge and it's too late 'cause now I'm letting go
In the end I can't stay in this cycle of control

Over the edge and it's too late 'cause now I'm letting go
In the end, I can't stay in this cycle of control
It's hard to breathe
I can't find reason to believe
So this is the end and it's the last you'll hear from me
The last you'll hear from me

House of Liars

Say, we all have our voices
But mine don't speak up
We make our own choices
The rest is just luck
I don't wanna pray for
What I don't believe
In ignorance no more
Ourselves we deceive

Burn down this house of liars
Now I say you're guilty as sin can be
I wanna watch it all go down in flames
And cheers to the memories
Burn, there's no shadow of a doubt
I blame you all for every goddamn thing
God help us, it's all f*cked up and now
The further we go, we wind up in hell

Faith, it seems so illusive
But I don't give up
I know that the truth is
The moments just stuck
Well, time keeps reversing
The sins of the past
That seemed like the worst thing
Will become unmasked

Burn down this house of liars
Now I say you're guilty as sin can be
Wanna watch it all go down in flames
And cheers to the memories
Burn, there's no shadow of a doubt
I blame you all for every goddamn thing
God help us, it's all f*cked up and now
The further we go, we wind up in hell

Burn down this house of liars
Now I say you're guilty as sin can be
I wanna watch it all go down in flames
And cheers to the memories
Burn, there's no shadow of a doubt
I blame you all for every goddamn thing
God help us, it's all f*cked up and now
The further we go, we wind up in hell

You Wanted War

Tell me your secrets, the damage that you've laid
And know that I'll keep them until our dying days
Don't make me regret you as time begins to fade
And spare me the temptation, it's a useless masquerade

'Cause I would tell us all that you were only just a fake

'Cause you wanted war, you better hope and wish and pray
'Cause you'll get blown away and never thought of here again
You wanted war but now you've fallen to defeat
And we all know that you were meaningless and weak
You wanted war

I'm taking no chances and firing at my will
You've left me no choices, can you just spare the guilt?
Do you take me for some innocent caught up in apathy?
You're mistaken, disillusioned, a walking tragedy

And all the time you occupied a distant memory

'Cause you wanted war, you better hope and wish and pray
'Cause you'll get blown away and never thought of here again
You wanted war but now you've fallen to defeat
And we all know that you were meaningless and weak
You wanted war

Life and death
A victim's tragic
Life in your hands
Strung by madness
Lit like a fuse
Anticipation
Hung like a noose
In accusations
There's no use in running, no
'Cause now you've crossed a brand-new low

Right

'Cause you wanted war, you better hope and wish and pray
'Cause you'll get blown away and never thought of here again
You wanted war but now you've fallen to defeat
And we all know that you were meaningless and weak
You wanted war

Paint It Black

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by, dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day

I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black

Yeah

It's All Me

Truth, it's in the past
It's on a dead-end to nowhere
Why can't you see?
You lose, and are failing fast
Think you're fed up with me
Well, you ain't seen nothing yet

This time around, I won't give in
It's only me and I win

Time won't wait
I push to the limit
I won't waste a minute
I will take
All this confusion
And twisted delusion
No

Pride, it's guaranteed
'Cause I have outstanding vanity
Just lies, it's all you need
'Cause you'd be surprised at what the mass believes now

This time around, I won't give in
It's only me and I win

Time won't wait
I push to the limit
I won't waste a minute
I will take
All this confusion
And twisted delusion
No

Distract from truth and tell more lies
You find yourself between the lines
Complete control, no compromise
A victim of your own design

Time won't wait
I push to the limit
I won't waste a minute
I will take
All this confusion
And twisted delusion
No

How the End Begins

Sometimes I wonder if I have enough to say
Or am I just an echo
A reflection of yesterday
Or caught between a memory
And visions of what could be
Sometimes I feel like I'm empty
And all I can find is faith to find control, 'cause

Now it's the end, we can't get it back
Why doesn't anything good ever last?
I gave it all I could give, only to question if
This is how the end begins and I should've known
How the end begins

I need to remember, that nothing can stay the same
And everyone fades away
My feelings don't seem to change
It's constant fear and it makes me feel like I'm nothing new
I tell myself to keep waiting, 'cause someday in time I'll find another truth
'Cause

Now it's the end, we can't get it back
Why doesn't anything good ever last?
I gave it all I could give, only to question if
This is how the end begins and I should've known
And I should've known
This is how the end begins and I should've known

Now it's the end, we can't get it back
Why doesn't anything good ever last?
I gave it all I could give, only to question if
This is how the end begins and I should've known
This is how the end begins and I should've known
'Cause this is how the end begins and I should've known
