Of Mice & Men - Cold World Album Lyrics

Game Of War

Cold world, isolating
Cold soul, what happened to that fire inside?
Structure, ever fading
Old bones can't take the weight though I still try

I'm waiting for the war to end
Are we ending to begin again?
If patience is so virtuous
Then maybe I'll be damned

Cruel world, captivating
Hollow, eaten alive from the inside
Rapture, kind decision
Old eyes can't take much more though I still try

Cause I'm waiting for the war to end
But are we just ending to begin again?
If patience is so virtuous
Then maybe I'll be damned

I'll be damned
Are we damned?
I'll be damned
Are we damned?

I'm waiting for the war to end
We're just fighting just to lose again
In this game of war no one f*cking wins
Just the one who's left and the one who's dead
Just the one who's left and the one who's dead

The Lie

The human race, what did we create?
We left our mark, mere repercussions of choices made.
This is the end, multiply and spread.
What did you expect when you rape our lands and dig our graves?

Force feeding chemicals into the mouths of all our youth,
You'll lie despise all of our lives, you're terrified of truth.
We see you pulling strings of puppets as we speak,
The perennial killing of anything that you see fit...

How could you do this to the ones that you're above?
How could you do this to the ones that you're above?
I've had enough!

We're desolate and no one cares,
As we march ahead towards the end,
And over the edge...

The countless souls that you were once responsible to feed,
Their hunger now burns inside your bones red hot like molten heat.
Search low and high, and maybe you'll find and maybe you'll find
Search low and high, and maybe you'll find, you're not above me!

I've had enough!

We're desolate and no one cares,
As we march ahead towards the end,
And over the edge...

Listen!
Listen...

Why do some have it all and others they have none?
Why do some have it all and others they have none?
Why do some have it all and others they have none?
Why do some have it all and others they have nothing?!

We've been lied to!
We've been lied to!

Real

Face down, I fall to the floor
Can't say I've never been here before
So frustrating, debilitating
This emptiness there must be more

It's taking over me
I don't know what to believe
Forgetting everything
That makes me, makes me real
I find an enemy
In every word that you say
I won't let you replace
What makes me, makes me real

Start, stop, start over again
Even though you know that this will end
So frustrating, aggravating
I lost myself when I let you in

But I will find myself again
So don't you say, that you understand

It's taking over me
I don't know what to believe
Forgetting everything
That makes me, makes me real
I find an enemy
In every word that you say
I won't let you replace
What makes me, makes me real

You won't take the best of me
You won't take the best of me

Start, stop, start over again
Even though you know that everything ends

It's taking over me
I don't know what to believe
Forgetting everything
That makes me, makes me real
I find an enemy
In every word that you say
I won't let you replace
What makes me, makes me real

Like A Ghost

I am comfortable with silence
I am glad their voices end
I need something, anything to get me by
I need something, anything just to get me high, go!

No!

I have left my mark I'm vicious
I've had all that I can take
I need something, anything to get me by
I need something, anything just to numb this life

Hold and don't let go
When you feel left in the cold
It will haunt you like a ghost
When you feel love like you never did, you never did

I feel maliciously unstable
I feel the pain inside me grow
I need something, anything to get me by
I need something, anything just to numb this life

Hold and don't let go
When you feel left in the cold
It will haunt you like a ghost
When you feel love like you never did, you never did

Hold and don't let go
When you feel left in the cold
It will haunt you like a ghost
When you feel love like you never did, you never did

You never did (you never did) [x4]

Fists turn to hands, stretched in the air
I realize I can't do this alone

Something supernatural take a hold of me
Give my last breath, lungs for you to breathe
Something supernatural take a hold of me
Give my last breath, lungs for you to breathe

Hold and don't let go
When you feel left in the cold
It will haunt you like a ghost
When you feel love like you never did, you never did

Hold and don't let go
When you feel left in the cold
It will haunt you like a ghost
When you feel love like you never did, you never did

You never did (you never did) [x8]

Contagious

Sticks and stones from a strangers throw,
Have never much affected me,
But words from those,
Supposedly who matter most,
Are nothing but poisoning.

You cut me down,
Drag me out,
Down and out to your level,
I'll never find myself stooping down to this.

(It feels like it's)
Taking a part of me,
From the inside.
(It takes the best parts of me)
And I don't know why,
I'm here anyway,
But it feels like,
Falling to my face,
Adhering to every part of me.

My pessimistic attitude is contagious,
With friends like these who needs enemies?

You cut me down,
Call me out,
Take your opportunity,
Just to scrutinize every single word that I say.

(It feels like it's)
Taking apart of me,
From the inside.
(It takes the best parts of me)
And I don't know why,
I'm here anyway,
But it feels like...

Falling!!
To my face, face, face...

And I know all about this place,
I'd say it was a part of me,
Take this mind and make me clean...

PLEASE!

Please push me cause I'm close to the edge!
Finally I won't lose my head!

(It feels like it's)
Taking a part of me,
From the inside.
(You take the best parts of me)
Now that I'm finding why,
I'm here anyway,
Makes me feel like,
Falling to my knees,
Adhering to every part of me!

Pain

I am sick of this place of death
With a pace that's set
And you know the pessimistic bend
Just to watch you break
Practice what you preach

Separate skin from the bone
Digging at my flesh
Like a schizophrenic with a blade
Fingers tracing scars
Mapping out reminders of just how much I can take

Pressure in my brain
My shoulders take the weight
Back's about to break

Pain
Every day that I awake
In my blood and through my veins
Now there's nothing left that you can take away from me

Pain

Because I've seen it before
I've lived it before
I've been there before
Incarnate
So don't you ever underestimate me

Daily death
Crooning in my ear
Things I wanna hear
Turn my head and bite my tongue
Spitting blood on my pre-determined grave
This is all a game

Pressure in my brain
My shoulders take the weight
Back's about to break
This is all a game

Pain
Every day that I awake
In my blood and through my veins
Now there's nothing left that you can take away from me

Pain
Every day that I awake
In my blood and through my veins
Now there's nothing left, nothing left that you can take from me

Pain, pain, pain, pain

Footprints in the sand
That can't be washed away
It breeds while we're asleep
It feeds when we awake

Burdens of the flesh
Our bodies are so weak
We seek the spirit's truth
To turn the other cheek

Turning the other cheek to see a world broken, lost and vain
How can you ever look at someone else the same way?
We all bleed
The human race
Have some empathy
We are all in pain

If we commiserate
Then we can share the weight
We are all the same
We are all in

Pain
Every day that I awake
In my blood and through my veins
Now there's nothing left that you can take away from me

Pain
Every day that I awake
In my blood and through my veins
Now there's nothing left, nothing left that you can take from me

The Hunger

Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

We kill, to war, to murder, to hurt
Scorch the skies and poison the earth
And watch the stumbling efforts to partially fix it all again
Time has cracked, the warning sirens have faded
It's coming.
Either hell above, or heaven below,
The board has been set, your bed has been made,
Lie in it, as you realize you can't eat your money,
It is nothing!

Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

Rat race... Maze... Occupied... Blind... Sheep...
Save us, save us, save us,
There's an answer to this, that has walked the earth,
The first was to warn, to teach, to lay down a life.
(Sacrifice!)
But the leaders of man convoluted it all,
Sticking fingers of their virus into all that is pure,
And they dig, and they dig, and they dig, and they dig!

Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again
Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

We were the hungry, you fed us poison
We were the silent and you kept speaking
We were the hungry, you fed us poison
We were the empty, and you kept taking
We were the silent and you kept speaking
So don't you, don't you look away

Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again
Open up your eyes and start to take it in
And maybe you'll begin to feel like I feel, once again

Relentless

He's down, he's down
Step into my world and you won't come back
He's down, he's down
See how long you last once you've met your match
He's down and out
Pound for pound I'm gonna set you straight
He's down, he's down
When the clock runs down and it's make or break

And if you want it
You gotta take it
And I got it
So come and get it

No I won't quit, get over it, you'll never win
I will survive, I am relentless
And I will fight to stay alive cause you know I
I will survive, I am relentless
Relentless
I am relentless
Relentless

He's down, he's down
Don't step up unless you're ready to fall
He's down, he's down
You talk the talk, but I walk the walk
He's down, and out
Don't be caught cold with a sneak attack
He's down, he's down
I'm gonna bring the pain until you fade to black

And if you want it
You gotta take it
And I got it
So come and get it

No I won't quit, get over it, you'll never win
I will survive, I am relentless
And I will fight to stay alive cause you know I
I will survive, I am relentless
Relentless
I am relentless
Relentless

Now you're down on the ground
And you're down for the count
And you might get up
But you'll never get out
You'll never get out
You'll never get out
You'll never get out
You might get up, but you'll never get out

And if you want it
You gotta take it
And I got it
So come and get it

No I won't quit, get over it, you'll never win
I will survive, I am relentless
And I will fight to stay alive cause you know I
I will survive, I am relentless
Relentless
I am relentless
Relentless

Down The Road

Your vacancy consumes me,
Like the cold slowly creeping in.

The road is long, the road is long.
Goodbye for now, my friend.
They say, the road is long, the road is long.
I'll see you in the end,

But it slowly fades with every day,
Without you to light the way.

Can you send me a sign,
Cause I'm dying for it?
Can you save me from myself again?
If I must walk alone,
Until the end,
I'll see you down, down the road.
Down the road.
Down the road.
Down the road.

I feel your spirit pull me,
Like the moon dancing with the sea.

The road is long, the road is long.
Goodbye for now my friend.
They say the road is long, the road is long.
I'll see you in the end,

But I watch it change, with every day,
Without you to guide the way.

Can you send me a sign,
Cause I'm dying for it?
Can you save me from myself again?
If I must walk alone,
Until the end,
I'll see you down the road.

Journey down the path less traveled
Watch the tapestry unravel
Tie a string to mark the path and then
Use your love to, use your love to lead me back.

I watch it change, with every day,
Without you to guide the way.

Can you send me a sign,
Cause I'm dying for it?
Can you save me from myself again?
If I must walk alone,
Until the end,
I'll see you down, down the road.
Down the road.
Down the road.
Down the road.

Away

We always fall into the holes we dig
So ignorant to the depth of them
A place where we can finally get some rest
Until the rain starts pouring in

I hear your voice
It's calling out and fading away
If it's your choice
Then pull me out and push me away
Push me away
Push me away
Push me away

I dreamt of climbing out to see your face
To scale the walls that I've put up in me
'Cause there's no solace in the pit that I've made
Once the rain starts pouring in

I hear your voice
It's calling out and fading away
If it's your choice
Then pull me out and push me away
I hear your voice
It's calling out and fading away
If it's your choice
Then pull me out and push me away

Here comes the water (bringing me to the surface)
Here comes the answer (to the question I never asked)
Here comes the water (showing me my true purpose)
Here comes the answer (that will bring me back)

I hear your voice
It's calling out and fading away
If it's your choice
Then pull me out and push me away
I hear your voice
It's calling out and fading away
If it's your choice
Then pull me out and push me away
Push me away
Push me away
Push me away
Push me away
Push me away
Push me away
Push me away

Transfigured

It's tearing away
Tearing a hole in me
They say, find your way
But I can't see anything

And I'll be just fine

Fear and doubt,
I've found a place for these
They say, figure it out
And you don't know anything

I want to be free again, to feel again, to dream
Till one day I hope I say

I'm finally okay
I'm finally okay
I'm finally okay
With who I am today
Woah, woah

Par for the course
Met with their empathy
Unreciprocated
'Cause I don't feel anything

But you'll see again, believe again in me
And one day I know I'll say

I'm finally okay
I'm finally okay
I'm finally okay
With who I am today
Woah, woah

Time after time I'll just pick up the pieces
To be free again, to feel again
Time after time, I'll just pick up what's left
You'll see again, believe again

I'm finally okay
I'm finally okay
I'm finally okay
With who I am today
Woah, woah
I'm finally okay
I'm finally okay
I'm finally okay
With who I am today
Woah, woah
