I remember a year ago I was standing in the crowd
waiting for my chance to break through, my chance to live again.
Now it seems I've found some friends who finally understand
what it takes to make this dream come true, we'll be here till the end.
Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
come dance with me and don't you fake it.
Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
get close to me and don't you fake it.
Shout and scream my friends, connect with me and we'll pretend
this night will never end (whao oh) this night will never end.
Just let go you'll see together we'll do anything
this night will never end (whao oh) this night will never end.
Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
come dance with me and don't you fake it.
Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
get close to me and don't you fake it.
Oh, wish I could thank you all for what you have done
and all of the things that you have shared with me.
Oh, wish I could take you all to where I must go
wish I could take you all, I'll take you in my arms.
Dance, get on the floor, shake, get on the floor, break, get on the floor
[repeat]
Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
come dance with me and don't you fake it.
Shake it, break it, get off your feet,
get close to me and don't you fake it.
I'm reaching out here to show you what we've been through
I think there's something we can share, that's completely new
or maybe I'm just insane, whao oh
Shake it, break it, get off your feet
Waiting The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus lyrics
Feeling sorrow
for all the things you had to steal and borrow.
Bring back the days we had before tomorrow
relapse and then collapse into yourself once more.
Waiting for this life to change seems like it's taking me forever
and I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day
This life is going to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day
Void I can't fill.
The doctor tells me to relax and stand still
Prescribes me a new pill to quell my anger.
Wish I could make her pull herself up off the floor
Waiting for this life to change seems like it's taking me forever
and I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day
This life is going to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day
Again, into the day, again
Waiting for this life to change seems like it's taking me forever
and I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day
This life is going to change seems like it's taking me forever
And I can't hold on. This light is breaking into the day
Take time to contemplate who you are and where you want to go.
[x2]
Into the day.
False Pretense The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus lyrics
Oh, it's time to let it go
The world's got a funny way of turning 'round on you
When a friend tries to stab you right in the face
Losing faith in everything I thought I hoped I knew
Don't sweat it, {it was} set on false pretense
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
And it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
Cu-cu-cu-cuz you know...
It's sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
All along you know you thought you got the best of me
{But} you were wrong and I'm laughing right in your face
I cannot believe you claimed you were my family
Don't sweat it - it's set on false pretense
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
And it doesn't seem likely to fade
Betrayed but not gonna be willing to change
Cu-cu-cu-cuz you know...
It's sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
Oh, it's time to let it go
I can't seem to understand it how you turned out to be so cold
You tried but were caught red handed, are you happy with your role?
It's funny to me how you've turned into such a joke...
It's sacrifice
False pretense you'll hurt again
Stop pretending to deny
False pretense you'll hurt again
So play the game until you run out
And play the game into my hand
Face Down The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus lyrics
Hey, girl, you know you drive me crazy
one look puts the rhythm in my hand.
Still I'll never understand why you hang around
I see what's going down.
Cover up with makeup in the mirror
tell yourself, it's never gonna happen again
you cry alone and then he swears he loves you.
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
A pebble in the water makes a ripple effect
every action in this world will bear a consequence
If you wade around forever, you will surely drown
I see what's going down.
I see the way you go and say you're right again,
say you're right again
heed my lecture
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
Face down in the dirt, she said,
"This doesn't hurt", she said,
"I finally had enough."
[x2]
One day she will tell you that she has had enough
it's coming round again.
Do you feel like a man when you push her around?
Do you feel better now as she falls to the ground?
Well I'll tell you my friend, one day this world's going to end
as your lies crumble down, a new life she has found.
[x2]
Face down in the dirt, she said,
"This doesn't hurt", she said,
"I finally had enough."
[Note: There is another (presumably old) version of this song, it has the same words,
but a slightly different order of stanzas towards the end of the song]
Misery Loves Its Company The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus lyrics
Listen close as we wait for a sound to go
It's true, we are
we are destined to fail
It's true, we are
we are destined to fail
There is a problem here with our society
The absence of my tears is my sobriety
I have a growing fear and you're not helping me
Am I the only one who realizes it's true?
Beat but I'm not broken
Guide me through with your hand
Lead with your words spoken
Show me how to listen
You're persecuting me, showing hypocrisy
I have a remedy for your insecurity
It's all the same, sadly, nobody works for free
Am I the only one who realizes it's true
Beat but I'm not broken
Guide me through with your hand
Lead with your words spoken
Show me how to listen
Let your light shine through me
Take this hate I can't release
Help me make the blind see
Misery loves its company
When I dream, I see dawn turn into dusk, into dusk
Beat but I'm not broken
Guide me through with your hand
Lead with your words spoken
Show me how to listen
Let your light shine through me
Take this hate I can't release
Help me make the blind see
Misery loves its company
It's true, we are
we are destined to fail
It's true, we are
we are destined to fail
Cat And Mouse The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus lyrics
Softly we tremble tonight,
picture perfect fading smiles are all that's left in sight,
I said I'd never leave you'll never change
I'm not satisfied with where I'm at in life.
Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
With all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me...
We made plans to grow old,
believe me there was truth in all those stories that I told.
Lost in a simple game cat and mouse are we the same people as before this came to light?
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
You said, you said that you would die for me...
You must live for me too'...
For me too...yeah, yeah...
You said that you would die for me...
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price.
Am I supposed to be happy?
with all I ever wanted, it comes with a price
You said, you said that you would die for me...
You said that you would die for me
You said that you would die for me ohoo
You said that you would die for me oohooo
Damn Regret The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus lyrics
The moon is shining bright
The mood is feeling right
I'll kiss you on your neck
People will stare but we won't care
We're high above the ground
We're nowhere to be found
Empowered by adrenaline
Feel I've been born again
Again, I am repeating myself
And I know it is kind for you
To sit and pretend
[Chorus:]
Damn regret, I'll try to forget
Don't worry about me 'cause I'm refined
Cast my line to see what's behind
Did you think you'd persuade me to let you go?
I'm wishing you were here
My weakness is my fear
Alone I am myself
No reason left for me to care
Distracted by the sound
I hear footsteps all around
Empowered by adrenaline
Feel I've been born again
Again, I am repeating myself
And I know it is kind for you
To sit and pretend
[Chorus]
You're the only one I turn to
When I feel like no one's there
And when I'm lonely in my darkest hour
You give me the power
To sit and pretend
[Chorus]
Did you think I'd forget?
Did you think I'd surrender myself to persuade you to let me go?
Did you think I'd forget?
Did you think I'd surrender myself to persuade you to let me go?
Atrophy The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus lyrics
Don't tell me this is your last chance to change
'cause if you do, then you would be telling a lie but
I warned you
what could happen if you should decide
to live your life from the 9 to 5
and I mourn you
for the detail that is left unsaid
is a reminder of the time you bled
Return to days when you knew you still felt alive
Reveal the way you felt when you could look inside
They've sold you
everything you need to fix you up
and you feel good now but you can't wake up
they found a way to reassure you
that everything would be okay
reach out today now I emplore you
to remember who you are
Return to days when you knew you still felt alive
Reveal the way you felt when you could look inside
So you felt it, but you don't know,
why you can't explain at all
why you felt it, 'cause you don't know,
no you don't know
Break the walls between building atrophy
causing all your problems to recede
break the walls between (break the walls between)
causing all your pain (causing all your pain)
you'll never learn
Return to days when you knew you still felt alive
Reveal the way you felt when you could look inside
(Break the walls between building atrophy)
Take back
The beat in your heart
Why fight
When you can't be bought?
(Causing all your problems to recede)
Take back
The beat in your heart
Why fight
When you can't be bought?
(Break the walls between)
Take back
The beat in your heart
Why fight
When you can't be bought?
(Causing all your pain)
Take back
The beat in your heart
Why fight
When you can't be bought?
Seventeen Ain't So Sweet The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus lyrics
Well she never was the best
Yeah at following the trends
Stayed one step above the rest
And even though it seemed
Like the world was crashing on her
Didn't let it hold her down
Didn't hold her back oh no
Don't worry you'll show them
[Chorus:]
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
There's a scream in your voice
And I hope you will be heard
There's a fire in your eyes
And I hope you'll let it burn
Until you're heard, you're heard
Seventeen is just a test
Yeah and I would recommend
That you live with no regrets
And even if it seems
Like the world is crashing on you
You shouldn't let it hold you down
Shouldn't hold you back oh no, woah oh
Don't worry you'll show them
[Chorus]
Relax girl, turn down the lights
No one can see you shining
Relax girl, it'll be alright
No one can stop you if you try
Point of rhythm is to follow it in time
To listen to the beating in your mind
Remember if you seek then you shall find
Woah oh
[Chorus x2]
...until you're heard...
Justify The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus lyrics
Once there was a time when we could learn
all the simple pleasantries a follower should yearn
now all that I can do is watch them burn
and wish that I could save them all, or just one
See the Fake, everyday shaking hands of men, promising the end.
Hear Him Speak of all the things that we need to hear, to adhere
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?
The visions that I've seen have left me torn
between the resurrection and the prophecy unborn
I think that I will document the fall
and say I hate to say it, but I told you all
See the Fake, everyday shaking hands of men, promising the end
Hear Him Speak of all the things that we need to hear, to adhere.
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries,
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries,
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?
Your side, choose wise
Your side, watch the change in time, when you whisper..
you still blame, is my message clearer?
Justify, your secrecies that surmise your cries
I see the way you look around the bend
is it going to end, when?
When you change your mind is it going to end?
Your Guardian Angel The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus lyrics
When I see your smile
Tears run down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.
Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one
I will never let you fall (let you fall)
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all (through it all)
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
Cuz you're my, you're my, my, my true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
Cuz I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay, stay
Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray
I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven
[to fade]
Grim Goodbye The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus lyrics
Oh my eyes
oh closing slowly
Don't you try to take me down,
don't you try to take me over,
won't you try to break me?
The complexities moving in,
and I feel that I do not have the strength,
tragedies plaguing me solemnly
It's affecting my will
But wait, now that I've found you,
situations from dark now change to gray
Disregarding my absence of memories,
it's perpetually blinding me of sanity,
and just when I'm giving in,
as I try to scale these walls
Jericho falls around me
and I feel that I've strayed too long
And darkness is fading in, and darkness is real
Oh my eyes
oh closing slowly
I try
Fate seems to recreate,
I just cannot escape,
Something holds me down and makes me
act a way I can't explain
Even now I can feel it coming over me choking me,
as I'm falling behind
You can say you know me,
but you have no clue what my dreams could show you
And darkness is fading in, and darkness is real
Oh my eyes
oh closing slowly
I try
I
Can't
Can't win
...Tell me what you see.
I feel something deep inside me,
I feel deep inside...me!
I feel something deep inside me
and I can't let this go, whoa, (can't let this go)
I feel something deep inside me
and I can't let this go, whoa,
Lie, as I try to steer clear, and I try to stay sober
This is taking me over,
And my dreams complicate it...
I just cannot let this go
I tried so many times to tell you
I just I cannot let this go,
I just cannot win
I see you
I see you...you falling away
I see you...you
You... killing me softly
I see you...you falling away
I see you...you...you
Don't take what's in front of me,
open eyes can see I have everything
Tell you, don't take what's in front of me,
tell you, don't take what's in me
Lie, which one lied?
When I feel this come away,
Way-ooahh
that's why I try...lie
[Crowd singing]
Whoaa..ohh..ohhh...
I see you coming my way
dreams may fall more everyday
But I see you looking my way
And I've tried just to separate dreams from reality
Try to satisfy this wanting,
Try to stay righteous, try to stay sober,
but then, I can't win
