Lightning cross the way, no
I can't rest, been up for weeks
The words they come in close
They gotta a nerve that never sleeps, for me
I say, I wait in rooms of gold
And crawl down to my knees
A liar, a thief and a coward a crime
I laugh my head clean off at the sight
Bop-Ba-Ba-Da-Da
Pull em in close, drop into the fight
Light that shit up like the Fourth of July
Lonely, cat-like master
Drive me. Take me faster
Eye-that, side back-alley
Add to the score
Join in the war rally
I can't recite the names
Or events that come to me
The blur of times and dates
That a drink or two, or three, will leave
I walk these streets of gold
And the smell grows on my feet
I cross and slide through a land of mines
I await the gag and my skin to bleed
Bop-Ba-Ba-Da-Da
Pull em in close, drop into the fight
Light that shit up like the Fourth of July
Lonely, cat-like master
Drive me. Take me faster
Eye-that, side back-alley
Add to the score
Join in the war rally

Paralyzed
I wake to a fire in the realm
Little lion safe and sound
It's a wild life, so wild crazy
Can not tame the crowd
White feast in the hole your an MIA
A little hell, you gonna pay
You're a whore at home, the telephone
A king that's here to stay
Sleep
And awaken to life, for a hell of a ride
Sleep
And awaken to life, with your hands at your side-
Paralyzed
Out cold and regenerate the start
Little lion set your fire
Push away and go, in stereo
A tear will death depart
Nineteen with a wicked M-R-E
What a waste, a memory
Better study hard, and play the part
Another victim to the scene
Sleep
And awaken to life, for a hell of a ride
Sleep
And awaken to life, with your hands at your side-
Paralyzed
Its more of the same
A silly old shame
A dimmly lit grove
It will whither and go
I climb the light post
Illumanate the road
For miles away
So safely I lay
Little lion safe and sound
It's a wild life, so wild crazy
Can not tame the crowd
White feast in the hole your an MIA
A little hell, you gonna pay
You're a whore at home, the telephone
A king that's here to stay
Sleep
And awaken to life, for a hell of a ride
Sleep
And awaken to life, with your hands at your side-
Paralyzed
Out cold and regenerate the start
Little lion set your fire
Push away and go, in stereo
A tear will death depart
Nineteen with a wicked M-R-E
What a waste, a memory
Better study hard, and play the part
Another victim to the scene
Sleep
And awaken to life, for a hell of a ride
Sleep
And awaken to life, with your hands at your side-
Paralyzed
Its more of the same
A silly old shame
A dimmly lit grove
It will whither and go
I climb the light post
Illumanate the road
For miles away
So safely I lay

The Wolfpack
No bother, climb to it, and call out, canary
Don't worry, just grab it, or somethin', abuse it
My vision, a forest, a lot here, to carry
Slide over, and bite it, the apple, and bury
The volume, and the riot, the smell of, the lions
and the sun sets, behind me, the bullets, start flying
Finding a light in a world of ruin
Starting to dance when the earth is caving in
We're ready to begin
Its alright
A bit scathed
A bit lost
I've been played
I ain't that clever
a city boy that can never say never
i got the life but that girl bites like a wolf
Inertia, take cover, a canon, you ready
The image, the session, a poet is sleeping
The current, the pilot, antennas and sirens
Like college, like thieves that, can eat with the wolfpack
Finding a light in a world of ruin
Starting to dance when the earth is caving in
Set in the sun and our hearts are burn in'
Leaving the nest to the back a thousand winds
We're ready to begin
Its alright
A bit scathed
A bit lost
I've been played
I ain't that clever
a city boy that can never say never
I got the life but that girl bites like (a wolf)
Its on me
Its only
A small heart
On one sleeve
Academy killer
Off with his head
In the make believe game of fools
That girl bites like a wolf
Are you ready?
I'm waiting to begin
Don't worry, just grab it, or somethin', abuse it
My vision, a forest, a lot here, to carry
Slide over, and bite it, the apple, and bury
The volume, and the riot, the smell of, the lions
and the sun sets, behind me, the bullets, start flying
Finding a light in a world of ruin
Starting to dance when the earth is caving in
We're ready to begin

A bit lost

Tunnels
I am still, without devotion
Cause we're all asleep at the wheel
Asleep and so surrounded by
What we feel
A bad dream
On a rope and pulled through an ocean
With my heart, I'm lost out at sea
And every kind of thought screams misery
So lonely
Im a johnny come lately
But I will not give up
And the words they escape me
But I'm full of dumb luck
And the world is an oyster
With a poisonous shell
And the look in my eye
Is a look that can kill
And Dream a bit
I am not, without emotion
I have ran, from the pain of my will
From the mess of a hunt and a catch, and the thrill
And I'm ill
I am known, in the circles of envy
I'd thank God, but then what is he for
Cause I left a few hard calls at his front door
I'll leave more
Don't you go
Come a little bit closer now
If you like
When you die
Wake your soul
To a little light fire now
If you like
When you die
Speak to me
Cry a river and make believe
In the whites
Of your eyes
Clasp your hands
Do whatever your heart commands
You will find
When you die
Your are mine
Cause we're all asleep at the wheel
Asleep and so surrounded by
What we feel
A bad dream
On a rope and pulled through an ocean
With my heart, I'm lost out at sea
And every kind of thought screams misery
So lonely
Im a johnny come lately
But I will not give up
And the words they escape me
But I'm full of dumb luck
And the world is an oyster
With a poisonous shell
And the look in my eye
Is a look that can kill
And Dream a bit
I am not, without emotion
I have ran, from the pain of my will
From the mess of a hunt and a catch, and the thrill
And I'm ill
I am known, in the circles of envy
I'd thank God, but then what is he for
Cause I left a few hard calls at his front door

Come a little bit closer now

Kiss With A Spell
If I end up alone
Across the barren sand dunes
I see my true self
I am burning inside for you
Live in a curse
lost in desire
your touch
I can not hurt
I can not cry, I can not.. I am numb
Don't say it
Don't say it loud
Don't say it
Don't say it now
Ohhh- I know I came in here myself
To here and ever after
Ohhh- you sent me a kiss, with a spell
I fear the ever after
A sting to the eyes
The trace here of you,
Still has bite
It can weaken the legs
buckle knees
In a fight
Ohhh- I pray like the kids do in hell
A child and a master
Ohhh- I know that I injured myself
Again and ever after
Across the barren sand dunes
I see my true self
I am burning inside for you
Live in a curse
lost in desire
your touch
I can not hurt
I can not cry, I can not.. I am numb
Don't say it
Don't say it loud
Don't say it
Don't say it now
Ohhh- I know I came in here myself
To here and ever after
Ohhh- you sent me a kiss, with a spell
I fear the ever after
A sting to the eyes
The trace here of you,
Still has bite
It can weaken the legs
buckle knees
In a fight
Ohhh- I pray like the kids do in hell
A child and a master
Ohhh- I know that I injured myself
Again and ever after

Mercenaries
Can you come on
out of the cold
How do we make it out alive
Get a weapon
Lockin the door
Stayin awake to stay alive
Kill the fallen
Knife in the back
Plan of attack
A beady eye
As you follow
Head out the pack
Flood out the rat
And stab em' dry
Got ya' come on
Goin in deep
Falling asleep
an open door
Get the ballast
Crawl up the coast
Pull on the neck
And cut the cord
Can you hold it
Get me a rope
Combing the lake of fire god
Like a bullet
Follow the smoke
Head of the snake
and cut it off
Ghosts heroing front lines
On a lonely cove
And they left behind
A bit if sorrow
You didn't need to count me out
When the final push is a little weight on your neck sometimes
You didn't need to count me out
When your feeling low here's a little hand from above because your on my mind
You kinda got it
Further a cause
Broaden the reach
a little pain
Like a comet burn up and die
Hear a pin drop a mile away
Like a disease
move with a tease
Glide of the feet
an atom bomb
As your dieing
both of your knees
Will fall to the street
You'll carry on
out of the cold
How do we make it out alive
Get a weapon
Lockin the door
Stayin awake to stay alive
Kill the fallen
Knife in the back
Plan of attack
A beady eye
As you follow
Head out the pack
Flood out the rat
And stab em' dry
Got ya' come on
Goin in deep
Falling asleep
an open door
Get the ballast
Crawl up the coast
Pull on the neck
And cut the cord

Bullets In The Wind
Army, army waiting for me
Set the dial to the radio free
Tie 'n tether to the band on the run
Pick em' up with the sound of your guns, woah-oh
Call em' in, to the white of the eyes
Watch em' dance, get kicked to the side
Chatter up in a forbidden tongue
Got you now eat the heart of the young
A Ritual, the words creep out
Like a ghost, the heart sinks down
An Animal, teethe reach out
Holding on, we're coming up strong, up again
We dance like bullets in the wind
Over and over again
Over and over again
We're bringing life back from the dead
Keeping the captive alive
Over and over we go
Over and over we go
So turn up the transistor radio
Trouble trouble, get me some more
Cutting deep going down to the core
Great Scott, the kids in the rain
We come together with the sound of a train
Shut and lock with a four letter word
Bite your thumb the car's gonna swerve
Sound clatter, the crash city lights
Hurry up- this kids gonna fight
A Ritual, the words creep out
Like a ghost, the heart sinks down
An Animal, teethe reach out
Holding on, we're coming up strong, up again
We dance like bullets in the wind
Over and over again
Over and over again
We're bringing life back from the dead
Keeping the captive alive
Over and over we go
Over and over we go
So turn up the transistor radio
Pick up the beat
And pry up the caskets
And call in the masses
And turn up the song
Shuffle your feet and
Exit the blackness
Rise up from the ashes
You're dancing along
A Ritual, the words creep out
Like a ghost, the heart sinks down
An Animal, teethe reach out
Holding on, we're coming up strong, up again
We dance like bullets in the wind
Over and over again
Over and over again
We're bringing life back from the dead
Keeping the captive alive
Over and over we go
Over and over we go

The Disease
Take a little look at yourself
Watch a soul leave the cemetery
Find a little fight in those eyes
And awaken to light across the sky
Dream a little harder this time
I'll await you to make the journey
Letting go the love realize
It's as much of the end, as is the ride
I await you again
I can feel your touch
I call your name to the wind
And into the nightfall my love
Carry up the worst of yourself
To a maze so in-ordinary
Get a little taste of it all
And awaken so new, your friends, a child
If you want to stay through the night
Hear the footsteps and sullen stories
Feels like the night of your life
All the reason to brave the smiles
And I, await you again
I can feel your touch
I call your name to the wind
And into the nightfall my love
I keep your heart next to mine
And when the nights get rough
I reach for you deep inside
I reach for you there, my love
Watch a soul leave the cemetery
Find a little fight in those eyes
And awaken to light across the sky
Dream a little harder this time
I'll await you to make the journey
Letting go the love realize
It's as much of the end, as is the ride
I await you again
I can feel your touch
I call your name to the wind
And into the nightfall my love
Carry up the worst of yourself
To a maze so in-ordinary
Get a little taste of it all
And awaken so new, your friends, a child
If you want to stay through the night
Hear the footsteps and sullen stories
Feels like the night of your life
All the reason to brave the smiles
And I, await you again
I can feel your touch
I call your name to the wind
And into the nightfall my love
I keep your heart next to mine
And when the nights get rough
I reach for you deep inside
I reach for you there, my love

Tremors
The earth is burnin'
Can't feel my feet
Yeah come on'
The floor is sinking
Through holes in the street
Yeah come on
Your eyes have ferried
My nightmares to sleep
So come on
Tonight is stolen
And sharpened like teeth
Yeah come on
I'm a ghost, hesitating
I bite my tongue at your throne
Meet me here half way
Across elation
I get off this way
When I'm in love
Your eyes are poison
Your making me sweat
So come on
I keep a crucifix
Hung on my neck
Yeah come on
Back to the cradle
Your chasin' a rat
So come on
Don't activate that-
That Plan of attack
Yeah come on
I'm a ghost, salivating
I crave your soul, like my own
Meet me here half way
Across elation
I get off this way
When I'm in love
When you scream my name,
I feel I'm dying.
I get off this way,
when I'm in love.
I get off this way,
when I'm in love.
Can't feel my feet
Yeah come on'
The floor is sinking
Through holes in the street
Yeah come on
Your eyes have ferried
My nightmares to sleep
So come on
Tonight is stolen
And sharpened like teeth
Yeah come on
I'm a ghost, hesitating
I bite my tongue at your throne
Meet me here half way
Across elation
I get off this way
When I'm in love
Your eyes are poison
Your making me sweat
So come on
I keep a crucifix
Hung on my neck
Yeah come on
Back to the cradle
Your chasin' a rat
So come on
Don't activate that-
That Plan of attack
Yeah come on
I'm a ghost, salivating
I crave your soul, like my own
Meet me here half way
Across elation
I get off this way
When I'm in love
When you scream my name,
I feel I'm dying.
I get off this way,
when I'm in love.
I get off this way,
when I'm in love.

Anomaly
Hey you
What's with those eyes
What ya been thinkin'
Hey girl
Spreadin' your wings
The world's awaitin' to let you in
That smile
A mile away
The colors collide
Hey you
Pick up the reigns
And come through my window and don't be shy
I never wanted to say
How much I liked you
I never wanted to be
One of your sad discoveries
We'll see
Hey there
Since you been gone
I've written about you
These words
They're no hemingway
They don't have any value to any line
My girl
You scared to go home
A view of the city
Hey you
I can never relax
And its never an option if you're not mine
I never wanted to live
My life without you
I never wanted to coast
Always wanted to be an anomaly
I never wanted to say
How much I loved you
I never wanted to be
One of your, sad discoveries
Tell me
Don't let me down
I sense this is my end
I wont let you leave here
Without these violins
One day
I follow your eyes
To the top of a mountain
My girl
I think I'm in love
It's the scariest place to be alive
What's with those eyes
What ya been thinkin'
Hey girl
Spreadin' your wings
The world's awaitin' to let you in
That smile
A mile away
The colors collide
Hey you
Pick up the reigns
And come through my window and don't be shy
I never wanted to say
How much I liked you
I never wanted to be
One of your sad discoveries
We'll see
Hey there
Since you been gone
I've written about you
These words
They're no hemingway
They don't have any value to any line

Hey you

And its never an option if you're not mine
I never wanted to live
My life without you
I never wanted to coast
Always wanted to be an anomaly
I never wanted to say
How much I loved you

One of your, sad discoveries
Tell me
Don't let me down

It's the scariest place to be alive

The Dream Walker is the fifth studio album by alternative rock band Angels & Airwaves, released on December 9, 2014, through To the Stars. The album marks major changes in the band's lineup and production, as it is their first album to feature drummer Ilan Rubin, the first since We Don't Need to Whisper to not feature bassist Matt Wachter and the only album not to feature guitarist David Kennedy.
It is also their first without longtime producer, Jeff "Critter” Newell, who died in 2012. It is instead co-produced by DeLonge and Aaron Rubin.
Originally intended to be titled Poet, The Dream Walker proved to be a remarkable shift in style from progressive styles to a rawer sounding alternative rock. Lyrically, it is a concept album that focuses heavily on exploring and understanding dreams.
The album was recorded entirely by DeLonge and Rubin, who both took on multiple instruments during the process. On May 4, 2016, the band released a new album consisting entirely of demos from The Dream Walker studio sessions including older takes and five previously unreleased tracks.
