Shinedown - Amaryllis Lyrics






Adrenaline


Give me the wheel
So we can move a little faster
I make it real
I'm not a glorious disaster
What part of living says you gotta die?
I plan on burning through another nine lives
One more for measure, that's ten for the soul
That never sleeps, so are you ready to go?

Bloodshot against the clear blue sky
Tick tock, I think the well is running dry
My, my, I can't lie
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline
Dead scared cause I'm fearless in the head
Bang, bang 'cause the needle's in the red
My, my, I can't lie
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline
My, my, my sweet adrenaline

Crack in the vision
Who said the motivation's all wrong?
Not your decision
The detonation of a time bomb
Which way is up
When your high is low?
It's time to find it
Are you ready to go?

Bloodshot against the clear blue sky
Tick tock, I think the well is running dry
My, my, I can't lie
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline
Dead scared cause I'm fearless in the head
Bang, bang 'cause the needle's in the red
My, my, I can't lie
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline
My, my, my sweet adrenaline

My, my, I just can't lie
It's the speed and the sound that I'm dying to try
My, my, I just can't lie
It's the love of the chase that created the ride

Bloodshot against the clear blue sky
Tick tock, I think the well is running dry
My, my, I can't lie
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline
Dead scared cause I'm fearless in the head
Bang, bang 'cause the needle's in the red
My, my, I can't lie
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline
My, my, my sweet adrenaline
My, my, (my, my) I can't lie (can't lie)
I need a shot again, that sweet adrenaline
My, my, (my, my) my sweet adrenaline

Bully


[Intro]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

[Verse 1]
It's 8 A.M.
This hell I'm in
Seems I've crossed the line again
For being nothing more than who I am

So break my bones
And throw your stones
We all know that life ain't fair
But there is more of us
We're everywhere

[Pre-Chorus]
We don't have to take this
Back against the wall
We don't have to take this
We can end it all

[Chorus]
All you'll ever be
Is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke
While they hang another rope
So lonely
Push him to the dirt
'Til the words don't hurt
Can you hear me?
No ones gonna cry
On the very day you die
You're a bully

Hey!
Hey!

[Verse 2]
Think it through
You can't undo
Whenever I see black and blue
I feel the past
I share the bruise

With everyone
Who's come and gone
My head is clear
My voice is strong
Now I'm right here to right the wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
We don't have to take this
Back against the wall
We don't have to take this
We can end it all

[Chorus]
All you'll ever be
Is a faded memory of a bully
Make another joke
While they hang another rope
So lonely
Push him to the dirt
'Til the words don't hurt
Can you hear me?
No ones gonna cry
On the very day you die
You're a bully

[Solo]

[Bridge]
It's 8 A.M.!
The Hell I'm in!
Your voice is strong!
Now right the wrong!

[Chorus]
All you'll ever be
Is a faded memory of a bully.
Make another joke
While they hang another rope
So lonely.
Push him to the dirt
'Til the words don't hurt
Can you hear me?
No ones gonna cry
On the very day you die
You're a bully

[Repeat Chorus]

Amaryllis


In a while now I will feel better
I'll face the weather before me
In a while now I'll race the irony
And buy back each word of my eulogy

All the uninvited tragedies
Step outside

Ask yourself now
Where would you be without
Days like this
When you finally collide
With the moment you can't forget

So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you'd open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
Bloom

Stay a while now
Undress your colors
Cause they're like no others
I've ever seen
I could get used to your company
Step inside

Ask yourself now
Where would you be without
Days like this
When you finally collide
With the motions you can't resist

So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you'd open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis

In a while now
I will feel better
I will be better

So do I remind you of
Someone you never met
A lonely silhouette
And do I remind you of
Somewhere you wanna be
So far out of reach
Ohhh I wish you'd open up for me
Cause I wanna know you
Amaryllis
Bloom
Amaryllis
Bloom
Amaryllis

Unity


I found a note with your name
And a picture of us
Even though it was framed
And covered in dust
It's the map in my mind that sends me on my way

They say it's never too late
To stop being afraid
And there is no one else here
So why should I wait?
And in the blink of an eye the past begins to fade

So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say "I'm not scared"

Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I've been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you're not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time

I've seen a million miles
Met a million faces
Took all I knew
To reach all these places
And I'd do it again
If it brings me back to you

So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth
Is the day that you say "I'm not scared"

Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I've been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you're not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time

Put your hands in the air

Put your hands in the air
If you hear me out there
I've been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark
Let me see where you are
'Cause I'm not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you're not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air
One more time
Put your hands in the air
One more time

Enemies


Listen up, there's not a moment to spare
It's quite a drop
From the top so how you feeling down there?
It's a cold cruel, harsh reality
Caught stuck here with your enemies
Who do you think you are,
Tearing us all apart?

Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows,
It's 20 to 1
Yeah, so you better run!!!

You got the world on its knees
You're taking all that you please
You want more
You want more

But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You're all the hate that we share

You want more
You want more

But you'll get nothing from me
Enemies [x2]

You started something that you just couldn't stop
You turned the ones that you love into the angriest mob
And their one last wish is that you pay for it
And there's no way you're getting out of this

Who do you think you are
Tearing us all apart?

Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows,
It's 20 to 1
Yeah, so you better run!!!

You got the world on its knees
You're taking all that you please
You want more
You want more

But you'll get nothing from me
You're like the burden we bear
You're all the hate that we share

You want more

But you'll get nothing from me
Enemies [x2]

Where did you think you could go?
'Cause everyone already knows
It's twenty to one
Yeah, so you better run

You've got the world on its knees
You've taken all that you please
You want more, you want more
But you'll get nothing from me

You're like the burden we bear
You're all the hate that we share
You want more, you want more

Im Not Alright


All dressed up
In a white straitjacket
Shut your mouth
No, you can't have it

Paper airplanes
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow

[Chorus]
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape

I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
'Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright

All messed up
And slightly twisted
Am I sick or am I gifted

Paper airplanes
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow

[Chorus]
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape

I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
'Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright

Woh
I don't care if you apologize
I can't lie
Woh
I can't lie

I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I've done
I lie awake in my great escape

I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
'Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it's me
I'm just crazy
Maybe I like that I'm not alright
Maybe I like that I'm not alright

Nowhere Kids


[Verse 1]
All it takes is a main attraction
Scattered bones underneath the fashion
Lower life on a higher plain
That's what you want
That's what they're givin' away

[Pre-Chorus]
Photogenic, come and get it
You can have it
Take it all!
Schizophrenic, so sadistic
I don't know
Politicians, in condition
Dyin' for a curtain call
Counter culture, full of vultures
Bet you think I'm what!

We're goin' all out
But get 'em up, get 'em up
And if they wanna take a picture
Tell 'em I don't give a f*ck!

[Chorus]
No one needs you after all
That little social scene
It's just a hate machine
No one's here to take your call
And now your self esteem
Ain't what it used to be

You've inspired
The breath of ignorance
The death of innocence
Guess who's back and mad as hell
The nowhere kids that wished you well

Nowhere!
Kids
Nowhere!
Kids
Nowhere!

[Verse 2]
The new face of an old distraction
Another victim with the same reaction
A catastrophic contradiction at best
I know you're hanging onto zeros
Cause you got nothing left

[Pre-Chorus]
Photogenic, come and get it
You can have it
Take it all!
Schizophrenic, so sadistic
I don't know
(I don't know)
Politicians, in condition
Dyin' for a curtain call
Counter culture, full of vultures
Bet you think I'm what!

We're goin' all out
But get 'em up, get 'em up
And if they wanna take a picture
Tell 'em I don't give a f*ck!

[Chorus]
No one needs you after all
That little social scene
It's just a hate machine
No one's here to take your call
And now your self esteem
Ain't what it used to be

You've inspired
The breath of ignorance
The death of innocence
Guess who's back and mad as hell
The nowhere kids that wished you well

NOWHERE!

[Repeat Chorus]

Nowhere! Kids [x6]

NOWHERE!

Miracle


[Verse 1]
Say it once, tell me twice
Are you certain I'm alright?
Just a sign, to remind me
That tomorrow's worth the fight
Ever changing the storyline that keeps me alive

So make a wish, and say...

Give me life, give me love
Scarlet angel from above
Not so low, not so high
Keep it perfectly disguised

[Pre-Chorus]
Every changing the storyline that keeps me alive
My Mona Lisa's making me smile
Right before my eyes!

[Chorus]
Take another look
Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am

I just want you to see
What I've always believed
You are...
The miracle in me

[Verse 2]
Show me faith, like you do
I'm amazed at how you move
Side to side, front to back
You know how to make it last

[Pre-Chorus]
Ever changing the storyline that keeps us alive
My Mona Lisa's making me smile
Right before my eyes!

[Chorus]
Take another look
Take a look around
It's you and me
It's here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I'll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am

I just want you to see
What I've always believed
You are...
The miracle in me

[Bridge]
These are the moments you can't pass back
Let's turn the water to wine
One more time!

[Repeat Chorus]

The miracle in me
You're the miracle in me

Ill Follow You


[Verse 1:]
If I could find assurance to leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
And all my doubt is a staircase for you
Opened out of this space
The first step is the one you believe in
The second one might be profound.

[Chorus:]
I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm.
I'll follow you down while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you down

[Verse 2:]
You can have the money and the world
The angels and the pearls
Even trademark the color blue
Just like the tower we never built
In the shadow of all the guilt
When the other hand was pointed at you
Yeah the first step is the one you believe in
The second one might be profound.

[Chorus:]
I'll follow you down, through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm.
I'll follow you down, while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you down to where forever lies
Without a doubt I'm on your side
There's nowhere else that I would rather be
I'm not about to compromise, give you up to say goodbye
I'll guide you through the deep I'll keep you close to me!

[Chorus]
I'll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don't worry I'll keep you warm.
I'll follow you down while we're passing through space
I don't care if we fall from grace
I'll follow you..

If I could find assurance to leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
I'll follow you down.

For My Sake


[Verse 1:]
I remember like yesterday
You had a dream in your eyes and a smile on your face
And I'm missing those days again, yeah I'm missing those days again
And I forgot what really got in the way
Maybe the sun that wouldn't shine should be taking the blame
Cause its raining on me again, yeah its raining on me again

[Bridge:]
A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake please...

[Chorus:]
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough.
Let's be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So I'm taking you on, I'm calling you out.
There's nothing left for us here now.
Let's be honest, I promise, I'm never lookin' back for my sake.
For my sake.

[Verse 2:]
Tell me something that's poetic at best
Make me believe there was a time that you weren't like the rest
And I'll never ask you again, and I'll never ask you again
For all the moments and the memories
No one could ever say we never had a history
But I'm leaving that all behind
And there is nothing gonna change my mind

[Bridge:]
A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake please...

[Chorus:]
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough.
Let's be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So I'm taking you on, I'm calling you out.
There's nothing left for us here now.
Let's be honest, I promise, I'm never lookin' back for my sake.
For my sake.

[Bridge:]
A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake
Please...
Stop slowing me down
Stop holding me up
Stop slowing me down
Enough's enough

[Chorus:]
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough's enough.
Let's be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So I'm taking you on, I'm calling you out.
There's nothing left for us here now.
Let's be honest, I promise, I'm never lookin' back for my sake.
I'm never lookin' back, for my sake.

My Name (Wearing Me Out)


My name is worthless like you told me I once was
My name is empty 'cause you drained away the love
My name is searching since you stole my only soul
My name is hatred and the reasons we both know
Worthless empty searching hatred, who am I right now

You're f*cking wearing me out
You're always dragging me down
You're the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don't need a gun to take back what's mine
It's over
It's over now
You're done wearing me out

My name is screaming like the sound of your heart failing
My name is loco like the motive that betrayed me
Screaming, loco, don't say you know who am I right now

You're f*cking wearing me out
You're always dragging me down
You're the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don't need a gun to take back what's mine
It's over
It's over now
You're done wearing me out

You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out
You're wearing me out

You'll be ancient history
But who am I right now

My name is revenge and I'm here to save my name

You're f*cking wearing me out
You're always dragging me down
You're the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don't need a gun to take back what's mine (you're f*cking wearing me out)
It's over (you are always dragging me down)
It' over, its over
You're the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don't need a gun to take back what's mine
It's over
It's over now
You're done wearing me out

Through The Ghost


[Verse 1]
Speak of the devil
Look who just walked into the room
The guilt invaded
Notion of someone I once knew

[Bridge]
All the perfects moments are wrong
All the precious pieces are gone
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covering both of us

Did you hide yourself away?
I can't see you anymore
Did you eclipse another day?
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul

Did you hide yourself away?
Are you leaving through the ghost?
Did you finally find a place
Above the shadows so the world will never know?
The world will never know you like I do

[Verse 2]
So many silent sorrows
You never hear from again
And now that you've lost tomorrow
Is yesterday still a friend?

[Bridge]
All the bridges we built were burned
Not a single lesson was learned
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covering both of us

Did you hide yourself away?
I can't see you anymore
Did you eclipse another day?
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul

Did you hide yourself away?
Are you leaving through the ghost?
Did you finally find a place
Above the shadows so the world will never know?
The world will never know you like I do

Like I still do

Did you hide yourself away?
I can't see you anymore
Did you eclipse another day?
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul

Did you hide yourself away?
Are you leaving through the ghost?
Did you finally find a place
Above the shadows so the world will never know?
The world will never know you...

Back to: Shinedown


Amaryllis is the fourth studio album by American rock band Shinedown. It was announced on January 3, 2012, the same day as the first single, "Bully," was released, for release by Atlantic on March 27, with pre-orders opening on January 17. A music video for the song "Unity" was released on March 12. An e-book about the making of Amaryllis, titled For Your Sake: Inside the Making of Amaryllis, was released concurrently with the album.

The album was recorded at Lightning Sound Studios, Ocean Way Recording, No Excuses Studios and Capitol Studios, and was produced by Rob Cavallo, who also produced the band's previous album, The Sound of Madness. Amaryllis was released on Atlantic Records in the United States and via Roadrunner elsewhere.

Speaking about the album, Shinedown singer Brent Smith said that "During the recording [of Amaryllis], the vision of what Shinedown is and where it's going became completely clear. Amaryllis is the manifestation of that vision, the centerpiece of what Shinedown is. It reflects on everything we've done and where we're heading. It's a message of empowerment, perseverance, and inspiration that I think speaks to fans that have been with us since the beginning as well as those who are just learning about who we are and what we're about." "Adrenaline" served as the official theme song to WWE's Extreme Rules (2012). The album's second single, "Unity", was released on May 15. The album's third single, "Enemies" was used as the theme song to WWE Raw from July 25, 2016, to January 22, 2018.

The album was certified Gold by both the RIAA and Music Canada, and Silver by the British Phonographic Industry.
