Avenged Sevenfold - Welcome To The Family Album Lyrics

Welcome To The Family

Hey kid, do I have your attention?
I know the way you've been living
(Life's so reckless, tragedy, endless)
Welcome to the family
Hey, theres something missing
Only time will alter your vision
Never in question, lethal injection
Welcome to the family

Not long ago you'd find the answers we're so crystal clear
Within a day you find yourself living in constant fear
Can you look at yourself now?Can you look at yourself?
You can't win this fight!

And in a way it seems there's no-one to call
when our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight!

Hey, I have to question
What's with the violent aggression?
Details blurry, lost him too early
Welcome to the family
Hey, why won't you listen?
Can't help the people you're missing
It's been done, a casualty re-run
Welcome to the family

I try and help you with the things that can't be justified
I need to warn you
There is no way to rationalize
So have you figured it out now?
So have you figured out?
You can't win this fight!

And in a way it seems there's no-one to call
when our thoughts are so numb
And our feellings aren't sure
We all have emptiness inside
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight!

Gunning for you
And all mankind
I've lost my mind
Psychotic
Rabid dementia
I won't be fine

I see
You’re a king who’s been dethroned
Cast out
In a world you’ve never known
Stand down
Place your weapons by your side
It’s our war
in the end we’ll surely lose
But that's alright

So have you figured out now?
So have you figured out?

And, in a way it seems there's no-one to call
when our thoughts are so numb
And our feelings unsure
We all have emptiness inside
We all have answers to find
But you can't win this fight!

Deep inside
Where nothings fine
I've lost my mind
You're not invited
So step aside
I've lost my
Deep inside
Where nothings fine
I've lost my mind
You're not invited
So step aside
I've lost my

4:00 AM

There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say,
There's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away.

There's a place where nothing seems to be assembled quite cohesively
It's all your mind, all your mind
Something little shouldn't feel this way,
We got a million thoughts we can't convey

It's all your life, all your life!

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away.

These things don't happen here; another fictional reality
It's all your mind; all your mind!
It's just as good as any other day,
I'm gonna teach you about mortality
Now it's not right, it's not right!

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running away.

In many ways I guess I'll never let you go
I'm close behind but I'm a lot more roomier than most
I took my second chance, just enjoy the dance, and found out who we are
Let's find out what we are, never leave asking why.

It's four in the morning, you got one more chance to die
Like beautiful stories the greatest chapters flew right by
There comes a day when we all find out for ourselves
That once we have the words to say, there's no one left to tell
I know why you're running, I know why you're running away!
