Heard you say suicide in your sleep just get on with it you were born to lose will you hang like the moon from a rope in your room oh you long for it you were born to lose where did you go all i know you can’t choose here i go born to lose took a shot to the head in the back near the crib such a leg-end now you were born to lose cause i know that the pain keeps you close to the flame you know everything you were born to lose

. BORN TO LOSE .

New orleans! push it push it push it true shred guitar enemies on your knees suffer please ene- mies carry me M16 if you see what i see bury me burn the trees baby please finish me

. TRUE SHRED GUITAR .

With your hair in braids your mother tips the maid blind-folded nun you make the shot-gun spray make you or break you who you gonna run to now you think you’re classic today you must be basic baby you think you’re classic today i bet-ter check on you make you or break you who you gonna run to now i gotta crush on i gotta crush you baby please i gotta crush on i gotta crush you now and what goes around you know it comes around and if it comes around you know the kids are down make you or break you who you gonna run to now with your hair pulled tight you’re so essential tonight you always crush and come you make the shotgun spray make you or break you who you gonna run to now i gotta crush on i gotta crush you now you love it baby please and what goes around you know it comes around

. CRUSH .

The nightmare lies in the mour- ning when the birds are bleed-ing and you hope the day will come but you’re never gonna live this down wish it away with the blame you could just stop breathing now you didn’t want it enough and you tap and you cut and you start with the heavy breathing you’re parallel to the dark but they’re still not leav-ing but you try and talk you’ll do anything but you’re never gonna keep it down don’t leave me now it didn’t have to be this way you know it didn’t have to be but it’s the end of the line so goodbye can you hear me can you see me ah-ah well it’s the end of the line so goodbye now you talk to yourself and you wonder why nothing ever chan-ges how you’re gonna fall so far so fast who you gonna blame this on i don’t care anymore in the morning when the birds start bleeding now and it’s all the same i was faced to the wall with the mirror crashing down and you stood so tall but you fall and you’re never gonna get back up you didn’t want it enough am i central now am i central now i was central how no one loves you up above you no one hears you no one sees you

. END OF THE LINE .

Do you remember when you used to sleep at night and when somebody dies you see them lifting but you know you know it’s not over do you remember when you had no need for lies and now your mother cries and nothing matters much you know you know it’s not over don’t you know he’s never com-ing back again do you remem-ber when you used to walk on by and now your run and hide pretend they never knew you know you know that it’s over don’t you know he’s never com- ing back again

. LEADER OF THE PACK . I know it’s hard but you gotta deal with it one look around show me what you’re made of don’t turn around go get your gun ready everyday there’s a way to do it just right go on and take it and just say it isn’t so but you never know just when you’re gonna go don’t run away cause that’s a deal breaker you gotta turn around never let your guard down i see you but no ones gonna save you baby you always run around break-ing all the rules baby i know you try so hard but you can’t even win you gotta try a little harder you’re the comeback kid you’ll go away but you’ll come back someday

. COMEBACK KID .

you drink the wise blood they’re gonna hear about it you’ll be taken down brick by brick by brick burn the orphanage you’re gonna pay for it they will purify block by block by block dem-ons come on you got a vision you’re on a mission demons live on and when i die hang me high they’re gonna bury you they’re gonna finish they’re gonna stand em up six by six by six you pull the hood back i wanna know which way will the heavenly go taken down taken down and you will ans-wer to no one else but me

. DEMONS . Go away for awhile cause you can’t cause you can’t see this again take a break from your friends if you ever if you ever wanna see them again can you think for yourself just once you’re never gonna get back home cause you’re gonna dis-cover ah-ah alone on the tele-phone don’t run away from me baby just go away from me baby road to hell go away for awhile if you can you can be my only friend when you’re tied to the bed ah-ah-ah we can learn how to begin take apart this verse again if you’re so good at offense i can say these words again if you know how to defend

. ROAD TO HELL . Behind the circle k where our bodies lay we took our lives away we wanted it this way face down in the dirt in your mini-skirt teeth touch the tracks yeah i got your back oh i got your back i don’t want you to see me this way what a way to die in 1985 down in the ground we can sing from the grave take a breath take a breath i would never lie to you but i’m gonna have to tell the truth ah ah you lost me teenage metal heads in your denim vests cause you’re holding hands through your favorite bands all your favorite bands your not the only ones down beneath the sun who never have any fun you walk around town with your heads way down i don’t want you to see me this way what a way to die in 1985

. YOU LOST ME .

96 power you know you wanna wanna because you’re gonna gonna below the low tide we never say die i’d like to try to sit down beside you but when i say dark i don’t mean the shade well i’m prepared to fight and defend you i’ll never doubt you a ribbon tied to above it’s their time down here it’s our time ah ah never say die live on or be gone or wake up or break up you took the low road when you missed your window you got it all wrong with the inferno don’t give up the ship or else the scale will tip but when i say dark i don’t mean the shade

. NEVER SAY DIE .

Wipe the blood from your nose how come nobody knows how the chorus should go how the chorus should go how come nobody knows do you know how it feels when the rain hits the roof but the roof of your mouth it’s not wet anymore put the one by the two cut the rest into lines but there’s blood on the door and you’re feeling just fine but you ran out of time wipe the blood from your nose how come nobody knows how the chorus should go remem-ber who you are

. DOA .
