Gumion's Music House

Oo they don't hear us
Read us bedtime stories from their textbooks
Oo try to reign us in
Blind to our intelligence

Standardization of the masses
Give us a number fail or pass us
Education manipulation
Decide our fate but never ask us

We're about to boil over
You can't keep us down forever

We got too big for the cage you locked us up in
Let's mark this down as the day
that we started something
So open the gate open the gate cause when we
Finally escape finally escape we'll be
Tearing through the streets
Running with the wild things

Hey why you waiting
Quit carving notches to count the days 'cause
They're losing power
See 'em growing weaker by the hour

We're about to boil over
You can't keep us down forever

We got too big for the cage you locked us up in
Let's mark this down as the day
that we started something
So open the gate open the gate cause when we
Finally escape finally escape we'll be
Tearing through the streets
Running with the wild things

Standardization of the masses
Give us a number fail or pass us
Standardization of the masses

Education manipulation

Education manipulation
Decide our fate but never ask us
Never ask us never ask us

We got too big for the cage you locked us up in
Let's mark this down as the day
that we started something
So open the gate open the gate cause when we
Finally escape finally escape we'll be
Tearing through the streets
Running with the wild things

Have I lost my mind?
Is this paradise?
Or a darker side?
Candy coated lips
You're the sweetest kiss
But a bad trip

Changing faces
Know the name
but I just can't place it
Slurring phrases
Took a step but I can't retrace it
You tell me "Take this"
But I don't wanna wake up in your

Wasteland
Your wasteland
I don't wanna wake up in your
Wasteland
Your wasteland
No I don't wanna wake up in your

Twisted fantasy
In your ecstasy
You're no good for me
Just behind the wall
It's not a dream at all
It's a free fall

Changing faces
Know the name
but I just can't place it
Slurring phrases
Took a step but I can't retrace it
You tell me "Take this"
But I don't wanna wake up in your

Wasteland
Your wasteland
I don't wanna wake up in your
Wasteland
Your wasteland
No I don't wanna wake up in your

Oooo
I don't wanna wake up in your
Oooo

Changing faces
Slurring phrases
Nothing changes
In your waste-
I don't wanna wake up in your

Wasteland
Your wasteland
I don't wanna wake up

No I don't wanna wake up

In your waste-
I don't wanna wake up

Let's get this right don't take it slow
Let's not pretend we've never met before

Cause baby this love is something we both know
But it's been trapped in a cage like an animal

And now we're dancing under streetlights
Drunk on twilight
You say yours when I'm calling you mine
See your name in the sidewalk cracks
Wanna be anywhere you're at
All I ever really need is you
And this time we're gonna see this through
So if we ever lose our way again
Take my hand we'll make it back

You and me are hell-bent on heartbreak
No matter what ya say
Won't let you run away
Don't act like loving me is such a bad thing
No matter what ya say
Won't let you run away

I told myself it would be alright
But you lurk in the shadows deep inside my mind
I couldn't escape all the memories
Stuck in my head like pretty melodies

Now we're dancing under streetlights
Drunk on twilight
You say yours when I'm calling you mine
See your name in the sidewalk cracks
Wanna be anywhere you're at
All I ever really need is you
This time we're gonna see this through
So if we ever lose our way again
Take my hand we'll make it back

Outside we’re lonely but we are free
We’re misfits, rebels, we’re creeps and freaks
How come they’ve got it figured out
Well we’re lost, waiting to be found
Maybe we need something different now

For every broken bone and every lie you’ve told
Every time you’re lost and you can’t find hope
This is for the ones who always feel alone

We are outsiders
Living inside a broken world
We are outsiders
And I know sometimes it can hurt
But it gets better yeah we’ll make it through
We’ll stay golden when we’re black and blue
We are outsiders
But we’re not hiding anymore
This is who we really are

Inside the dark about all the plans
Must be nice to have someone light your path
But inside their hearts are breaking
Cause they don’t know what they’re missing
Outside we’re lonely but we are free

For every broken bone and every lie you’ve told
Every time you’re lost and you can’t find hope
This is for the ones who always feel alone

We are outsiders
Living inside a broken world
We are outsiders
And I know sometimes it can hurt
But it gets better yeah we’ll make it through
We’ll stay golden when we’re black and blue
We are outsiders
But we’re not hiding anymore
This is who we really are

For every broken bone and every lie you’ve told
Every time you’re lost and you can’t find hope
This is for the ones who always feel alone

We are outsiders
Living inside a broken world
We are outsiders
And I know sometimes it can hurt
But it gets better yeah we’ll make it through
We’ll stay golden when we’re black and blue
We are outsiders
But we’re not hiding anymore
This is who we really are

We used to have a light
Now it's too dark to shine
Now we're just passing by
Two shipwrecks in the night

Remember when we met yeah
I know I was mean
Stones shirt black boots and black jeans
And you were such a mess
I thought it was sweet
But that night still haunts my dreams

I won't keep chasing ghosts
I need somebody I can hold
Gave you my heart and soul
Thought I was chasing love
I was only chasing a ghost

TV light two bodies intertwined
I guess we tempted fate always so far away

Remember when we met yeah
I know I was mean
Stones shirt black boots and black jeans
And you were such a mess
I thought it was sweet
But that night still haunts my dreams

I won't keep chasing ghosts
I need somebody I can hold
Gave you my heart and soul
Thought I was chasing love
I was only chasing a ghost

Remember when you left yeah
I thought I was mean
Stones shirt black boots and everything
I let you fool me twice shame on me
But that night still haunts my dreams

I won't keep chasing ghosts
I need somebody I can hold
Gave you my heart and soul
Thought I was chasing love
I was only chasing a ghost

[Verse 1:]
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street
Faster than the wind, passionate as sin ending so suddenly
Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall
Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all

[Chorus:]
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Loving him was red

[Verse 2:]
Touching him was like realizing all you ever wanted was right there in front of you
Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song
Fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer
Regretting him was like wishing you never found out that love could be that strong

[Chorus:]
Losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
But loving him was red
Oh, red
Burning red

[Bridge:]
Remembering him comes in flashbacks and echoes
Tell myself it's time now, gotta let go
But moving on from him is impossible
When I still see it all in my head
Burning red
Loving him was red

[Chorus:]
Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known
Missing him was dark grey all alone
Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met
'Cause loving him was red
Yeah, yeah, red
We're burning red

[Post-Chorus:]
And that's why he's spinnin' 'round in my head
Comes back to me, burning red
Yeah, yeah

'Cause love was like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street.

Have you had a million reasons 

why you wish you'd never seen the truth 

Have you looked into the mirror and the problem's

staring back at you 

I can't control myself. don't know who i've been

And who is this monster wearing my skin

A movie in black and white. when will it end

Cause every time i scream no one hears me

It feels like I'm paralyzed, and i can't

Escape from the prison I'm living in

I'm naming the voices in my head

They keep on telling me to give in

But it's making me stronger

Fight a little longer

I'm gonna bring me back to life

And I won't be paralyzed

Have you searched for something deeper out of fear that life's a lonely road

Have you roamed the darkest corners of the earth until

you're just a ghost

I can't control myself. don't know who i've been

And who is this monster wearing my skin

A movie in black and white. when will it end

Cause every time i scream no one hears me

It feels like I'm paralyzed, and i can't

Escape from the prison I'm living in

I'm naming the voices in my head

They keep on telling me to give in

But it's making me stronger

Fight a little longer

I'm gonna bring me back to life

And I won't be paralyzed

I'm not afraid, I can face my demons

Even if they tear me down

If i fall, let me fall, it might take time

But I'll find my own way out

It feels like I'm paralyzed, and i can't

Escape from the prison I'm living in

It feels like I'm paralyzed, and i can't

Escape from the prison I'm living in

I'm naming the voices in my head

They keep on telling me to give in

But it's making me stronger

Fight a little longer

I'm gonna bring me back to life

And I won't be paralyzed

Waited all night for you to come home
I always hated sleeping alone
Watching the roses wither away
Wishing my memories would die out the same
I waited all night yeah you never came

I miss the long nights under street lights
When our hearts were made of gold
I miss the feeling that we had then
We were never growing old
Yeah I miss it all
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh
Yeah I miss it all
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh

Everyone's trying to help me move on
They say it gets better in the long run
You could say that I've a couple good days
But nobody's eyes shine quite the same way
I waited all night yeah you never came

I miss the long nights under street lights
When our hearts were made of gold
I miss the feeling that we had then
We were never growing old
Yeah I miss it all
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh
Yeah I miss it all
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh

Waited all night for you to come home
I always hated sleeping alone
I hope that the lipstick I left on your face
Stays red like the roses I laid on your grave

I miss the long nights under street lights
When our hearts were made of gold
I miss the feeling that we had then
We were never growing old
Yeah I miss it all
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh
Yeah I miss it all
Whoa oh whoa oh whoa oh
