Sleeping With Sirens - Madness Album Lyrics

Kick Me

Let's hang the jury
You sick judgemental fools
I'll bury you six feet deep
So tired of your rules

F*ck you and your opinion
How could you be so blind?
What goes around
Comes back around in time

You don't know shit
You don't know shit about me
You don't know shit, shit, shit
Don't know a goddamn thing about me

Keep looking down on me,
I am more than you'll ever be
Cut me deep but I won't bleed
You're gonna kick, kick
Kick me when I'm down

By all means
Put me through hell
And I'll make you see
I'll be your worst enemy
Try to kick, kick, kick me when I'm down
Kick me when I'm down

Of all the sinners
You're first in line
So go to hell and tell the devil
I'm not that far behind

F*ck you and your decision
'Cause it's not mine
What goes around
Comes back around in time

You don't know shit
You don't know shit about me
You don't know shit, shit, shit
Don't know a goddamn thing about me

Keep looking down on me,
I am more than you'll ever be
Cut me deep but I won't bleed
You're gonna kick, kick
Kick me when I'm down

By all means
Put me through hell
And I'll make you see
I'll be your worst enemy
Try to kick, kick, kick me when I'm down

You're gonna kick, kick, kick me when I'm down
Kick, kick, kick me when I'm down

Kick me when I'm down
Kick me when I'm down, down, down
Kick me when I'm down, down, down
Kick me when I'm down

Go Go Go

We always seem to find a way to f*ck things up
At the worst time, you know
We've never been the smartest
You know you could have anyone
But standing on the edge I said
I don't want no one else

They say it's time to grow up and stop with these foolish games
But I say they're wrong
She says go, go, go
I don't want to take it slow
There's plenty of time for us to finally get it right
Why don't we crash and burn tonight?

Shoulda known we were too young to feel this much
It could kill us, you know
My nearly departed
Said you were corrupting me, I was naïve
But no one knew
I kept it to myself

They say it's time to grow up and stop with these foolish games
But I say they're wrong
She says go, go, go
I don't want to take it slow
There's plenty of time for us to finally get it right
Why don't we crash and burn tonight?

This is how we'll always be
And they'll see we were right and they were wrong
So I'll put it in a song
And you can sing along

She said go, go, go, I don't wanna take it slow
She said go, go, go, I don't wanna take it slow, oh

Go, go, go
I don't want to take it slow
There's plenty of time for us to finally get it right
So why don't we crash and burn tonight?
Crash and burn tonight

Gold

All we want, what we want is
All we want is gold
Sun sets on Long Island
Pull the windows down in the van
Lost my map on the Jersey turnpike
But it's okay we ain't looking back

All we ever want is gold
One way on this winding road

We made our mistakes
It's not too late
We had to learn the hard way
Bridges will burn
Now it's our turn
We had to learn the hard way
Because all we ever want is gold
We made our mistakes
It's not too late
We had to learn the hard way

It's two in the morning
Can't seem to find the words for a song
I remember my dreams and how fun they seem
I can't believe how far we have come
Cause all we ever want is gold
So is sixty miles on this open road

We made our mistakes
It's not too late
We had to learn the hard way
Bridges will burn
Now it's our turn
We had to learn the hard way
Because all we ever want is gold
We made our mistakes
It's not too late
We had to learn the hard way

Don't lose your faith in me (Don't ever look like, don't ever look like)
It's never what it seems

You make your mistakes
But it's never too late
We had to learn the hard way
You made your mistakes
It's not too late
You had to learn the hard way
Bridges will burn
Now it's your turn
You had to learn the hard way
Cause all we ever want is gold
All we ever want is gold (We had to learn the hard way)
All we want, what we want is
All we want is gold
All we want, what we want is
All we want is gold

Save Me A Spark

Whoa

I want to paint down my memories
So I don't forget
Can we dance when it's cold outside?
Can we live with no regrets?
So many people get caught up in everything they see
You can always trust what you believe

Sometimes I feel stuck
Sometimes I get lost in so much hope I'm drowning

Would you save me a spark? (Oh-Whoa)
We'll start a fire that shines a light in the dark
Strike a match
Make it last
We are all we need (Whoa)
Would you save me a spark?
We'll light up the dark
We'll light up the dark

I wanna crash like a tidal wave
Sinking to the ocean floor
I want to stand in a crowded room
Screaming the voice they can't ignore
While everyone is sleeping
I am wide awake
Cause hearts are only open when they break

Sometimes I feel stuck
Sometimes I get lost in so much hope I'm drowning

Would you save me a spark? (Oh-Whoa)
We'll start a fire that shines a light in the dark
Strike a match
Make it last
We are all we need (Whoa)
Would you save me a spark?
We'll light up the dark

Let me see you light up the dark (Whoa)
I want to see you light up the dark (Whoa)
I wanna see you light up the dark
While everyone is sleeping
We'll be wide awake (we'll be wide awake)

Would you save me a spark? (Oh-Whoa)
We'll start a fire that shines a light in the dark
Strike a match
Make it last
We are all we need (Whoa)
Would you save me a spark?
I want to paint down my memories
So I don't forget
Can we dance when it's cold outside?
Can we live with no regrets?
Strike a match
Make it last
Cause we are all we need (Whoa)
Would you save me a spark?
We'll light up the dark
We'll light up the dark
We'll light up the dark

Fly

Woo!
Can we fly, can we fly away?

I'm sitting on the edge
A thousand stars burning in the sky up overhead
How could it get more beautiful than this?
And it made me think of when, when in my life have I ever felt more infinite?
And could I ever get back there again?
That's the way it goes you fall so short, sometimes you feel so close
But when you find the thing that matters most may you never let it go
(That's the way it goes, that's the way it goes)

I wanna fly
I'm ready to burn down all the walls that I've been building up inside (Whoa)
I wanna fly and put back all the pieces of this broken heart tonight (Whoa, whoa)
Can we fly, can we fly away?
Can we fly, can we fly?
Can we fly, can we fly away?

As the sun falls down I can feel the air
As I watch the breeze kissing your skin
Breathe it in
I never want this night to end
Right now I feel complete
The way the light flashes in your eyes when you're with me (You're with me)
I feel I'm who I'm meant to be
And it's the way it goes you brought up love and never got that close
But when you find the thing that matters most may you never let it go
(That's the way it goes, that's the way it goes)

I wanna fly
I'm ready to burn down all the walls that I've been building up inside (Whoa)
I wanna fly and put back all the pieces of this broken heart tonight (Whoa, whoa)

It's just the way
It's just the way it goes (Whoa, whoa)
It's just the way
It's just the way it goes (Whoa, whoa)
It's just the way
It's just the way it goes (Whoa, whoa)
It's just the way it goes

I wanna fly
I'm ready to burn down all the walls that I've been building up inside (Whoa)
I wanna fly and put back all the pieces of this broken heart tonight (Whoa)
I wanna fly
I'm ready to burn down all the walls that I've been building up inside (Whoa)
I wanna fly and put back all the pieces of this broken heart tonight (Whoa, whoa)
Can we fly, can we fly away? (Can we fly?)
Can we fly, can we fly? (Can we fly?)
Can we fly, can we fly away? (Whoa, whoa)
Can we fly, can we fly away? (Can we fly?)
Can we fly, can we fly? (Can we fly?)
Can we fly, can we fly away? (Whoa, whoa)

The Strays

Hubcaps and ashtrays
I was born but I wasn't raised
The big wheel the black space
Tried my best but wasn't praised

Hell is so close to Heaven
Hell is so close to Heaven

Hold on, don't look back
You know we're better we're better than that
Lost and thrown away
You know we're better we're better than that

We are the strays (woah oh oh)
We are the strays

Train tracks to the stage
Play that role, the one you made
Long nights and the worst days
Lived it all, but I didn't break

Hell is so close to Heaven
Hell is so close to Heaven

Hold on, don't look back
You know we're better we're better than that
Lost and thrown away
You know we're better we're better than that

We are the strays (woah oh oh)
We are the strays

My whole life they said I'd be nothing
Well I'm something
And I would rather be the stray
Than be nothing to no one at all

Hubcaps and ashtrays
I was born but wasn't raised

Hold on, don't look back
You know we're better we're better than that
Lost and thrown away
You know we're better we're better than that

Cause we are the strays (woah oh oh)
We are the strays

Left Alone

There's nothing really left to say
And I don't need you to explain
We don't need those lies
So tired of living in the past
So if we're gonna make it last
We should leave it all behind
I'd rather you lie than throw it all away

How deep do you want to go
Don't you know that some things are better left alone
How deep do you want to go
Don't you know that some things are better left alone
They're better left alone

I think we may have gone too far
We're losing sight of who we are
How do we get back? (How do we get back)
To a time where it was so easy
Cause I don't need you
And you need me
Oh, what happened to that? (Whoa)
I'd rather you lie than throw it all away

How deep do you want to go
Don't you know that some things are better left alone
How deep do you want to go
Don't you know that some things are better left alone
They're better left alone
Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone
How deep do you want to go
Don't you know that some things are better left alone (Better left, better left)
How deep do you want to go
Don't you know that some things are better left alone
They're better left alone
Better left alone (Alone, Alone)
Better left alone (Alone, Alone)
Alone, Alone, Alone, Alone

Better Off Dead

She says she wants to end it all when she's all alone in her room
She cries
The way she feels inside is too much for her
When all you got is these four walls
It's not that hard to feel so small
Or even exist at all
How come no one heard her when she said

Maybe I'm better off dead
If I was would it finally be enough
To shut out all those voices in my head?
Maybe I'm better off dead
Better off dead!
Did you hear a word
Hear a word I said?
This is not where I belong
You gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gone, gone
This is not where I belong
You gonna miss me when I'm gone

She doesn't know she's beautiful
Because no one's ever told her so
And the demons that she hides are all she knows
And maybe she can fall in love with someone in her life that she could trust
And tell her she's enough (Have someone tell her she's enough?)
How come no one heard her when she said

Maybe I'm better off dead
If I was would it finally be enough
To shut out all those voices in my head?
Maybe I'm better off dead
Better off dead!
Did you hear a word
Hear a word I said?
This is not where I belong
You gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gone, gone
This is not where I belong
You gonna miss me when I'm gone

When all you got is these four walls
It's not hard to feel so small
When all you got is these four walls
It's not hard to feel so small
All she wanted was to be enough
All she wanted was to be enough
So what does it take?
Maybe it's not too late
Yeah no one heard her when she said

Maybe I'm better off dead
If I was would it finally be enough
To shut out all those voices in my head?
Maybe I'm better off dead
Better off dead!
Did you hear a word
Hear a word I said?
This is not where I belong
You gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gone, gone
This is not where I belong
You gonna miss me when I'm gone
Gone, gone
This is not where I belong
You gonna miss me when I'm gone

We Like It Loud

Yeahhhh
(Are you sick?
Turn up those motherf*cking headphones!
Yeah!)
Ohh!

What's the point of ever starting this?
Why even put my heart in it?
You see us as a waste of time
Say you give up now, you're gonna fall behind
No! I just can't stop
You talk the game but can you walk the walk?
When ashes is ashes and dust is dirt
I'm gonna be the one that's gonna make you hurt

Sell us the world but we ain't selling out
I said we like it loud, yeah we want that rock n roll sound
No, don't wanna hear no songs on the radio, pumping through my stereo now
Yeah I said we like it loud, turn me up don't ever turn me down
No, don't wanna hear another song on the radio, pumping through my stereo now, now, now
I said we like it loud

Yeah, louder than this
You wanna see what happens when we get pissed?
See a whole revolution of these f*cked up kids
And all it takes is one so it starts like this!
No! You've gone way too far!
We won't get far or let it fall apart
When ashes is ashes and dust is dirt
We're gonna be the one that's gonna make you hurt!

Sell us the world but we ain't selling out
I said we like it loud, yeah we want that rock n roll sound
No, don't wanna hear no songs on the radio, pumping through my stereo now
Yeah I said we like it loud, turn me up don't ever turn me down
No, don't wanna hear another song on the radio, pumping through my stereo now, now, now
I said we like it loud

We like it loud!
Yeah we like it loud!
We like it loud!
I said we like it loud

Heroine

My eyes roll back
The ceiling fades
I breathe you in
Exalt your flames
Let's lose our minds
Come here to me
We're wasting time
Darling can you hear me?

Heroine my sweetest sin
I can't seem to get enough
Pull me under, wake me up
Feel the rush
Morphine, lover make me numb
Make it so I can't get up
Paper thin 'til you sink in
Could you be my heroine?

Do you feel exposed?
Let your feelings show
Can I taste you, can I replace you?
I need to know
Let's lose our minds
Please stay with me
We're wasting, yeah
We're wasting time
Why don't you believe me?

Heroine my sweetest sin
I can't seem to get enough
Pull me under, wake me up
Feel the rush
Morphine lover make me numb
Make it so I can't get up
Paper thin 'til you sink in
Could you be my heroine?

It starts with the spins
Yeah you got me swimming
I'm falling to pieces and I won't be whole until you let me in
Until you let me in
Until you let me in
Until you let me in oh

Heroine my sweetest sin
I can't seem to get enough
Pull me under, wake me up
Feel the rush
Morphine lover make me numb
Make it so I can't get up
Paper thin 'til you sink in
Could you be my heroine?

My heroine
My heroine
Could you be my heroine?

November

Everyday is all the same
Like no matter what the recent is the seasons never change
I think of all the time I spent
Drifting far away and zoning out as I'm clocking in
Tell my love ones that I wish them well

[Chorus:]
There's a fire in this November sky
It's burning up
Burning up
They'll remember me tonight
There's a fire in this November sky
It's building up
Building up
And they'll remember me tonight
In this town
In this town

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Their alarms ring in the sky (Sky)
The voices sing the lullabies as the ashes learn to fly (Ashes learn to fly)
And this will be my holiday
No more living with my fears because I gave them all away
Tell my loved ones that I wish them well

[Chorus]

And the flames are running high
Red flashing lights light up the sky
And they will run to it
They glide and melt away
Into the night

[Chorus]

Whoa Whoa
They'll remember me tonight in this town
Whoa, Whoa

Madness

All of my life I built this armor
In every disguise I ever wore
Ashes and dust
I made an island
Facing the end
I said "What for?"
Sometimes it's a battle
Other times it's a war
But you're never defenseless

Sometimes we all lose strength
Please don't lose your faith

After our time has passed
We're like light through stained glass
We go on and on and on
In the end we're never gone

Out of the skies I shaped the silence
And from the earth I caused these walls
A piece of the world was only mine
And then I said I wanted more
At the edge of the blackness
When you stretch to the core
Catch all of the madness

Sometimes we all lose strength
Please don't lose your faith in me

After our time has passed
We're like light through stained glass
We go on and on and on
In the end we're never gone
I will be your's to trust
This is not the last of us
We go on and on and on
In the end we're never gone

Please don't lose your faith
Please don't lose your faith
In me
In me

Don't Say Anything

Woo! Yeah! Yeah!

Why are you so pissed off?
I can hear it through the wire
It's late now, why aren't you sleeping?
Shouldn't you be in bed

Come on and state your case
Don't leave me in the dark
I hear the silence on the line
Yeah, all those broken parts

I gave you the part of me
The only one that you could see
Tell me it doesn't mean a thing

Breathe in, breathe out
Someway, somehow
Say it all say it now
Or don't say anything
All in, all out
Someway, somehow
Say it all say it now
Or don't say anything

God, I hate this place
I hate the space between us
Lost in the grey unknown
There's still so far to go

I gave you the part of me
The only one that you could see
Tell me it doesn't mean a thing

Breathe in, breathe out
Someway, somehow
Say it all say it now
Or don't say anything
All in, all out
Someway, somehow
Say it all say it now
Or don't say anything (Don't say anything [x3])
Oh, you're the sweetest thing
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na

Why are you so pissed off?
I can hear it through the wire
It's late now, why aren't you sleeping?
Shouldn't you be in bed

Breathe in, breathe out
Someway, somehow
Say it all say it now
Or don't say anything
All in, all out
Someway, somehow
Say it all say it now
Or don't say anything (Don't say anything [x3])
Oh, you're the sweetest thing

Parasites

I can't believe we waited all this time
Whoa!

Like there's a parasite on my skin making me crawl
When all of you said we are dancing in the halls
Did you ever think we would let it carry on this far?
Look at yourself
Are you even still alive at all?
Can't you see the beauty in
Everything we are?

I can't believe I waited all this time
To figure out what's missing
I can't believe that this is happening
To me this won't keep happening to me

Guys, we've got to figure it out
Before we go insane
We're going blank dry
Right for the sheets
Will we ever find a way to cover up these scars?
I finally see the beauty in everything we are

I can't believe I waited all this time
To figure out what's missing
I can't believe that this is happening
To me, this can't keep happening
What the hell is happening to me?

Are you a ghost?
Are you alive?
Are we just all?
We're parasites
Parasites

I can't believe I waited all this time
To figure out what's missing
I can't believe that this is happening to me
This can't keep happening
No this can't be happening to me

Parasites [x3]
We are

2 Chord

Standing in a hallway
Walls explode with sounds of a fight, yeah
Searching for a reason I don't know if I'll make it out alright
She said she'd leave a thousand time I think tonight, I'd actually take flight
And as she passes her things I see her look at me with tears in her eyes

She says I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving
I'm staying here
I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving
Till we make it there
Woah

I remember that we always
Remember that we always were so strong
Use to feel so alive now I don't remember living for so long
She said she's tried a thousand times but she's always feared
And I'm already gone
If we could go back to how it was before
I promise I would never do you wrong
No

I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving
I'm staying here
I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving
Till we make it there
I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving
I'm staying here
I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving
Till we make it there

I'm staring at your pictures
Figure out where we went wrong
If you would be my guiding light
And even in our darkest times, we find strength to carry on
So I'm not leaving
I'm not leaving till we're home
Whoa

I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving
I'm staying here
I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving
Till we make it there
No, No, No, No
I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving
I'm staying here
Cause I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving
Till we make it there

Give me one more chance to love you so
Won't you please
Won't you please just come back home
