Of Mice & Men - Restoring Force Album Lyrics

Public Service Announcement

You all have something to say, or something to ask
I don't live in a cage, it's none of your business

Gonna say this clear so you can get it straight
You don't know a thing about me
Who I am from what I read, oh, I sound so sickening
Your attempts to bring me down, fuel my fire and build my sound
I can't believe all the things I hear

You all have something to say about me
How can you stop and listen, when all you do is talk?
You all have something you want to take from me
And I can't hold my tongue anymore

Shut up

You all have something that you want to say to me
You all have something to ask
It's none of your business

I'm well aware I did three days alone in a cell
A simple, easy price to pay for something that I felt
Towards someone so deserving
I hate those who prey on the weak
If asked to do it all again, I would if needed be

All of these people talking about my story
As if they've lived it before
All of these people they don't even know me
But I love how you think you know me better than I know myself

You know me better than myself

You all have something to say, or something to ask
I don't live in a cage, it's none of your business

All of these people, talking about my story
Just keep talking, just keep talking
It's none of your business

You all have something to say about me
You all have something to ask
It's none of your business

Feels Like Forever

Did you ever contemplate when all is lost you hesitate and nothing seems the same?
Have you ever hit your face and touched disgrace, decisions made, a picture with no words? (Can you hold on? One more day?)

Say you're okay, I'm afraid that tomorrow is just too far away.
Fight the pain, it just feels like forever is crashing down on me (down on me, me, me).

They will fall. What's wrong with pain? It heals your soul and turn the page to face another day.
Let me know that you will wait and I will pay for my mistakes and feel the sun again.

Say you're okay, I'm afraid that tomorrow is just too far away.
Fight the pain, it just feels like forever is crashing down on me (down on me, me, me).

Don't break down. Hold onto me, oh. Don't let go, time will heal.

Say you're okay, I'm afraid that tomorrow is just too far away.
Fight the pain, it just feels like forever is crashing down on me (down on me, me, me).

Bones Exposed

It's like loving a lion that cannot be tamed,
I snap at the thought or the sound of your name.
Pulling teeth from my stomach,
you've been eaten alive.
My blood fills your lungs,
my soul, your inside.

My feet they stand on ashes,
from the fires that you've made.
Burning bridges,
just to save your face.

If I say I wouldn't be hostile,
could you say you would do the same?
If we're all made just a little bit broken,
tell me who is to blame?

I'm sensing a feeling picking wounds of regret,
that left alone there's no scarring ill dig & ill dig,
scratching & itching ill keep biting my lip,
from this pain that I'm feeling,
picking wounds of regret.

A cut cannot heal,
unless you leave it alone.
I'll open mine daily,
leaving bones exposed.

If I say I wouldn't be hostile,
could you say you would do the same?
If we're all made just a little bit broken,
tell me who is to blame?

Standing on ashes from the fires you've made,
burning your bridges just to save your face.

Wounds of regret.

If I say I wouldn't be hostile,
could you say you would do the same?
If we're all made just a little bit broken,
tell me who is to blame?

We're broken, imperfect,
we were all made the same.
We're broken, imperfect,
we are all to blame.

Would You Still Be There

If I could find the words, if I could shake the world,
If I could turn back time would you still be there?

I can't stop thinking about the way
I left you sinking with no escape.
Now there's no lifeline, no way to save.
But maybe next time I won't throw it all away.

I ask myself everyday...

If I could find the words, if I could shake the world,
If I could turn back time would you still be there?
If I could find the words to say,
If I could shake the world to break you down,
Then would you still be there?

Would you still be there? [2x]

Dislocated, I lie awake
Suffocating in my mistakes.
I lost my halo when I fell from grace,
But maybe next time I won't throw it all away.

I ask myself everyday...

If I could find the words, if I could shake the world,
If I could turn back time would you still be there?
If I could find the words to say,
If I could shake the world to break you down,
Then would you still be there?

There's no dancing around it,
I crawl into the fire then fan the flames,
And I can't stand it
And I can't stand it
But I don't have the strength to burn the page

If I could find the words, if I could shake the world,
If I could turn back time would you still be there?

If I could find the words, if I could shake the world,
If I could turn back time would you still be there?
If I could find the words to say,
If I could shake the world to break you down
Then would you still be there?

Glass Hearts

F*ck

These are the hardest four years of my life,
They walk right by me heads turned with closed eyes.
They don't even see me.
At night in my house I'm still all alone.
This is not a home.
They don't even see me.

The scars on my body, they don't even bleed.
I never do this for me.
The scars on my body, they don't even bleed.
I only do this for you to see.

How am I supposed to see through your eyes when you never saw the stars were falling at your feet?

Is it a song? Is that what they need?
For so long I've tried to get them to hear me.
Picking and stabbing, their words feel like knives.
Tearing and ripping the seams of my life.

I've tried to convince them
Their words hurt like stones.
I just wish they'd just leave me alone.

I am on my knees.
I need you to hear to me.
I am on my knees.
Hear me, please.

How am I supposed to, to hear what you hear when you never heard the sound of our glass hearts breaking with every tick of the clock when you are gone?

(How am I supposed to see through your eyes?)

I know what you've been through,
This hell was my life.
You have to keep pushing,
I've seen through your eyes.

Your days are like pages,
The chapters unread,
You have to keep turning
Your book has no end.

Another You

Words wear off, nervous paces.
Something's off, see it in their faces.

[Chorus:]
Say anything, say anything,
Say anything that could make this all okay.
Take it away, take it away,
Take away all of this emptiness I feel
'Cause I will never find another you.

Another you, another you.

I still hear you in this house (whispering).
I still feel you in my bones (in these veins).
And like the portraits in the halls (can't help but think),
I wish you were staring back at me (but you're gone).

[Chorus]
Say anything, say anything,
Say anything that could make this all okay.
Take it away, take it away.
Take away all of this emptiness I feel
'Cause I will never find another (I may never find myself)
I will never find another you

So I'll carry you with me in my dreams, my memory.
So I'll carry you with me (you'll always be with me) in my dreams, my memory.
So I'll carry you with me, you'll always be my memory.

[Chorus]
Say anything, say anything,
Say anything that could make this all okay.
Take it away, take it away.
Take away all of this emptiness I feel
'Cause I will never find another (I may never find myself)
And I will never find another you

Break Free

Break free

Through every bone I break,
Through every word you say,
You're just another enemy.
Right now, get away from me.
You won't, get the best of me.
I can't, stop or slow down,
I never have and I never will.

You won't break me
Or silence this heartbeat,
Your words—they mean nothing.
I will break free
From the walls that surround me,
I'm sick of this feeling, I will break free from you.

You're just a cloud of smoke,
Another empty soul,
I see it in your face,
You're just a snake in my way.
Right now, get away from me.
You won't, get the best of me.
I can't, stop or slow down, I never have and I never will.

You won't break me
Or silence this heartbeat,
Your words—they mean nothing.
I will break free
From the walls that surround me,
I'm sick of this feeling, I will break free from you

You won't break me,
I will break free.
You won't break me,
I will break free from you.

You won't hold me.
Right now, you won't and I can't,
You won't hold me,
You won't break me.
(Get away from me,
Get the best of me.)
You won't hold me down.

You won't break me
Or silence this heartbeat,
Your words—they mean nothing.
I will break free
From the walls that surround me,
I'm sick of this feeling, I will break free from you

You won't break me,
I will break free.
You won't break me.

You Make Me Sick

I want you to stop,
to sit & think,
of all the times you tried to steal from me,
ride my coat tails, use my name,
your smiles exposed all your fangs,
your forked tongue is always running,
spilling from your mouth,
I suggest you bind it up & keep it,
keep it to yourself.

You make me sick,
just go away,
I'm exposing all of your fangs.
Your tongue is poisoning,
You serpent, you snake,
You make me sick.

The apple in your mouth,
comes from the riches made from me.
Keep it, eat it, have your fill,
I hope you're choking.

Like a snake with my foot on your head,
don't want you dead, need you alive,
to feel every moment when I crush it.

You disgust me.

You make me sick,
just go away,
I'm exposing all of your fangs.
Your tongue is poisoning.
Feeding on the weak,
you serpent, you snake,
You make me sick.

I'm nauseous, you're wretched,
with false power you've gone mad,
unhinged & disgusting.

I'm nauseous, you're wretched,
with false power you've gone mad,
unhinged & disgusting,
you're gruesome, & you're grim.

All you do is make me feel exactly what you are,
all you do is make me feel exactly what you are,
You make me sick.

You serpent,
you lying snake,
you make me sick.

Identity Disorder

Your heart is a fire,
But the cold is comforting.
My mouth is a liar,
With my silver tongue in cheek

The silence is deafening.
My words cut deep.
The darkness is blinding,
Consuming me.

All I am is what I say
So turn your back and walk away.
My words cut deep, but the silence is deafening.

I am starving (for something that's real)
So I bite the hand that feeds (they all took from me)
The pieces I'm missing (that's what they want from me)
Will be exactly what I need

The silence is deafening.
My words cut deep.
The darkness is blinding,
Consuming me.

All I am is what I say
So turn your back and walk away.
My words cut deep, but the silence is deafening.

I question every part of who I am.
I question every part of who I am!
It's hard to tell which side of me is in the right
With these two different people inside of me fighting for my life, fighting for my life
I question every part of who I am

The silence is deafening!
My words cut deep!
The darkness is blinding,
Consuming me!

All I am is what I say
So turn your back and walk away!
My words cut deep, but the silence is deafening!

Space Enough To Grow

What do you see when you close your eyes?
How do you feel when you see it?
Who is to say that it isn't real?
And why can't we lie to believe it, to believe in something?

Look into the emptiness and step into the cold.
Right between your body and your soul.
Deep inside of all of us there's something left to hold.
Even when we give up all hope, there's space enough to grow.

I know that we are all terminal.
We sail on borrowed time.
It's never about what we leave behind,
It's how we live our lives.

Look into the emptiness and step into the cold.
Right between your body and your soul.
Deep inside of all of us there's something left to hold.
Even when we give up all hope, there's space enough to grow, to grow.

What do you see when you close your eyes?

You're Not Alone

When your reflection in the mirror smiles back it lies, you know it.

When you lay your head to sleep at night it's filled with every moment
Every chance you miss to be something, well learn from your mistakes

You're not alone you're with me
You're not alone you're with me

Don't let the world bring you down
There's always hope for the willing
Don't let the world bring you down
It's not over, you're not alone anymore

When it feels like all is lost and there's no guide that's left to prove it
Take a look inside, cherish your life
And live before you lose it

You're all waiting for the answer
Keep on searching, strength in numbers

Don't let the world bring you down
There's always hope for the willing
Don't let the world bring you down
It's not over, you're not alone anymore

At the end of the day, what will you choose?
Will you keep moving on, or be forced to lose
Look inside of yourself, 'cause the power's in you
There is always hope, you're not alone

Anymore

Don't let the world bring you down
There's always hope for the willing
Don't let the world bring you down
It's not over, you're not alone anymore

Don't let the world bring you down
It's not over, we're not alone anymore
