Open
door, so I walk inside
Close
my eyes, find my place to hide
And
I shake as I take it in
Let
the show begin
Open
my eyes
Just
to have them close again
Well
on my way
But
on my way to where I've been
It
swallows me
As
it takes me in its fog
I
twist away
As
I give this world the nod
Open
door, so I walk inside
Close
my eyes, find my place to hide
And
I shake as I take it in
Let
the show begin
Open
my eyes
Just
to have them close once again
Don't
want control
As
it takes me down and down and down again
Is
that the moon
Or
just a light that lights this dead end street?
Is
that you there
Or
just another demon that I meet?
The
higher you are
The
farther you fall
The
longer the walk
The
farther you crawl
My
body, my temple
This
temple, it tilts
Step
into the house that Jack built
The
higher you are
The
farther you fall
The
longer the walk
The
farther you crawl
My
body, my temple
This
temple it tilts
Yes,
this is the house that Jack built
Open
door, yes, I walk inside
Swallow
me so the pain subsides
And
I shake as I take the sin
Let
the show begin
(Let
the show begin)
(Let
the show begin)
The
higher you are
The
farther you fall
The
longer the walk
The
farther you crawl
My
body, my temple
This
temple, it tilts
Yes
this is the house that Jack built
The
higher you are
The
farther you fall
Longer
the walk
The
farther you crawl
My
body, my temple
This
temple, it tilts
Yes,
I am, I am, I am...
Open
my eyes
It
swallows me
Is
that you there?
I
twist away
Away,
away, away
Where
do I take this pain of mine?
I
run but it stays right by my side
So
tear me open, pour me out
There's
things inside that scream and shout
And
the pain still hates me
So
hold me until it sleeps
Just
like the curse, just like the stray
You
feed it once and now it stays, now it stays
So
tear me open, but beware
There's
things inside without a care
And
the dirt still stains me
So
wash me until I'm clean
It
grips you, so hold me
It
stains you, so hold me
It
hates you, so hold me
It
holds you, so hold me
Until
it sleeps, until it sleeps, until it sleeps
So
tell me why you've chosen me
Don't
want your grip, don't want your greed
Don't
want it
I'll
tear me open, make you gone
No
more can you hurt anyone
And
the fear still shakes me
So
hold me until it sleeps
It
grips you, so hold me
It
stains you, so hold me
It
hates you, so hold me
It
holds you, holds you, holds you until it sleeps
Don't
want it
I
don't want it, want it, want it, want it, want it, no
So
tear me open but beware
There's
things inside without a care
And
the dirt still stains me
So
wash me till I'm clean
I'll
tear me open, make you gone
No
longer will you hurt anyone
And
the hate still shapes me
So
hold me until it sleeps, until it sleeps, until it sleeps, until it sleeps,
until it sleeps
Wish
I may
Wish
I might have this I wish tonight
Are
you satisfied?
Dig
for gold, dig for fame
You
dig to make your name
Are
you pacified?
All
the wants you waste
All
the things you've chased
Then
it all crashes down
And
you break your crown
And
you point your finger but there's no one around
Just
want one thing
Just
to play the King
But
the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's
your crown, King Nothing?
Where's
your crown?
Hot
and cold
Bought
and sold
A
heart as hard as gold
Yeah,
are you satisfied?
Wish
I might, wish I may
You
wish your life away
Are
you pacified?
All
the wants you waste
All
the things you've chased
Then
it all crashes down
And
you break your crown
And
you point your finger but there's no one around
Just
want one thing
Just
to play the King
But
the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's
your crown, King Nothing?
You're
nothing
Come

Huh!
I
wish I may
I
wish I might have this wish, I wish tonight
I
want that star, I want it now
I
want it all and I don't care how
Careful
what you wish
Careful
what you say
Careful
what you wish, you may regret it
Careful
what you wish, you just might get it
Then
it all crashes down
And
you break your crown
And
you point your finger but there's no one around
Just
want one thing
Just
to play the King
But
the castle's crumbled and you're left with just a name
Where's
your crown, King Nothing?
Nothing
No,
you're just nothing
Where's
your crown, King Nothing?
No,
you're just nothing
Absolutely
nothing
Off
to never-never land
Mama, they try and break me
The
window burns to light the way back home
A
light that warms no matter where they've gone
They're
off to find the hero of the day
But
what if they should fall by someone's wicked way?
Still
the window burns
Time
so slowly turns
Someone
there is sighing
Keepers
of the flames
Do
ya feel your name?
Can't
you hear your babies cryin'?
Mama,
they try and break me
Still
they try and break me
Excuse
me while I tend to how I feel
These
things return to me that still seem real
Now,
deservingly this easy chair
But
the rocking stopped by wheels of despair
Don't
want your aid
But
the fist I've made for years can't hold off fear
No,
I'm not all me
So
please excuse me while I tend to how I feel
But
now the dreams and waking screams that ever last the night
(But
now the dreams that ever last the night)
So
build the wall behind it, crawl and hide until it's light
(So
build the wall and hide until it's light)
So
can you hear your babies cryin' now?
Still
the window burns
Time
so slowly turns
(The
window burns)
And
someone there is sighing
(Someone
there is sighing)
Keepers
of the flames
Can't
you hear your name?
(Keepers
of the flames)
Can't

But
now the dreams and waking screams that ever last the night

Mama,
she has taught me well
Told
me when I was young
"Son,
your life's an open book
Don't
close it 'fore it's done"
"The
brightest flame burns quickest"
That's
what I heard her say
A
son's heart's owed to mother
But
I must find my way
Let
my heart go
Let
your son grow
Mama,
let my heart go
Or
let this heart be still, yeah, still
"Rebel",
my new last name
Wild
blood in my veins
Apron
strings around my neck
The
mark that still remains
I
left home at an early age of what I heard was wrong
I
never asked forgiveness
But
what I said is done
Let
my heart go
Let
your son grow
Mama,
let my heart go
Or
let this heart be still
Never
I ask of you but never I gave
But
you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave
Never
I ask of you but never I gave
But
you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave
So
let this heart be still
Mama,
now I'm coming home
I'm
not all you wished of me
A
mother's love for her son
Unspoken,
help me be
Yeah,
I took your love for granted
And
all the things you said to me, yeah
I
need your arms to welcome me
But
a cold stone's all I see
Let
my heart go
Let
your son grow
Mama,
let my heart go
Or
let this heart be still
Let
my heart go
Mama,
let my heart go
Mm,
ya never let my heart go
So
let this heart be still, woh
Never
I ask of you but never I gave
But
you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave
Never
I ask of you but never I gave
But
you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave
So
let this heart be still
Forgive
me, Father
For
I have sinned
Find
me guilty of the life I feel within
When
I'm branded
This
mark of shame
Should
I look down, disgraced
Or
straight ahead and know that you must blame
I
am (I am) the secret
I
am (I am) the sin
I
am (I am) the guilty
And
I, (and I) I am the thorn within
Forgive
me, Father
For
I have sinned
Find
me guilty when true guilt is from within
So
point your fingers
Point
right at me
For
I am shadows and will follow you
One
and the same are we
I
am (I am) the secret
I
am (I am) the sin
I
am (I am) the guilty
And
I, (and I) I am the thorn within
I
do your time
I
take your fall
I'm
branded guilty for us all
So
point your fingers
Point
right at me
For
I am shadows and will follow you
One
and the same are we
I
am (I am) your secrets
I
am (I am) your sin
I
am (I am) your guilty
And
I, (and I) I am the thorn within
I
am the thorn within
I
am the thorn within
I
am the thorn within
I
am the thorn within
I
am the thorn within
Story
starts, quiet town
Small
town boy, big time frown
Never
talks, never plays
Diff'rent
path, lost his way
Then
streets of red, red I'm afraid
There's
no confetti, no parade
Nothing
happens in this boring place
But,
oh my God, how it all did change
Now
they all pray
Blood
stain wash away
He
said
"Lost
my way this bloody day
Lost
my way"
I
heard him
He
said
"Lost
my way this bloody day
Lost
my way"
All
things wash away
But
blood stained the sun red today
I
always said
"Somethin'
wrong with little, strange Ronnie Long"
Never
laughed, never smiled
Talked
alone for miles and miles and miles
Gallow
calls, "Son", I say
"Keep
your smile and laugh all day
Think
once again in this boring place
For
little boys, how they soon change"
Now
they all pray
Blood
stain wash away
He
said
"Lost
my way this bloody day
Lost
my way"
I
heard him
He
said
"Lost
my way this bloody day
Lost
my way"
All
things wash away
But
blood stained the sun red today
(Spoken)
Yeah,
well, all the green things died when Ronnie moved to this place
He
said
"Don't
you dare ask why I'm cursed to wear this face"
Well
now we all know why the children called him "Ronnie frown"
When
he pulled that gun from his pocket
And
they all fall down, down, down
He
said
"Lost
my way this bloody day
Lost
my way"
Yeah,
yeah, I heard him
He
screamed
"Lost
my way this bloody day
Lost
my way"
All
things wash away
But
blood stained the sun red today
That's
right
All
things wash away
And
they all fall down, down
But
blood stained the sun today
Yeah,
yeah
All
things wash away
And
they all fall down
But
blood stained the sun today
And
now I wait my whole lifetime for you
And
now I wait my whole lifetime for you
I
ride the dirt, I ride the tide for you
I
search the outside, search inside for you to take back what you left me
I
know I'll always burn to be the one who seeks so I may find
And
now I wait my whole lifetime
Outlaw
of torn
Outlaw
of torn
And
I'm torn
So
on I wait my whole lifetime for you
So
on I wait my whole lifetime for you
The
more I search, the more my need for you
The
more I bless, the more I bleed for you
You
make me smash the clock and feel
I'd
rather die behind the wheel
Time
was never on my side
So
on I wait my whole lifetime
Outlaw
of torn
Outlaw
of torn
Yeah,
I'm outlaw of torn
And
I'm torn
(Hear
me)
And
if I close my mind in fear, please pry it open
(See
me)
And
if my face becomes sincere, beware
(Hold
me)
And
when I start to come undone, stitch me together
(Save
me)
And
when you see me strut, remind me of what left this outlaw torn
(Hear
me)
And
