The infection Grabs you by the throat You're so reckless You never wear a coat I put my faith in modern medicine While you put yours in the stars My wounds healed so many years ago While you still wear fresh scars The infection Grabs you from behind It consumes you First your body then your mind I put my faith in modern medicine While you put yours in the stars My wounds healed so many years ago While you still wear fresh scars You need to see a doctor You need to see a doctor You need to see a doctor (Better call the doctor, baby) You need to see a doctor (Better call the doctor, baby) You need to see a doctor (Better call the doctor, baby) You need to see a doctor NOTHING ELSE CAN STOP IT, BABY!

If it’s up to me And I know it isn’t I’d live my life and Die at my own choosing Let me live until I’m ready To cast away the good, the bad Then bury my weary bones Under the lilacs Uh oh Uh oh Uh oh Uh oh Take courage, Dear The earth is all that lasts Take courage, Dear Sometimes the end is fast You’ll never miss The life you never knew The one you had’s enough To see you through If the sun is shining And the green is on the meadow Take one last look And then one final breath I’ll know I’m finally ready To let it go, the here, the now And bury my tattered soul Under the lilacs Uh oh Uh oh Uh oh Uh oh Take courage, Dear The earth is all that lasts Take courage, Dear Sometimes the end is fast You’ll never miss The life you never knew The one you had’s enough To see you through Oh I was wrong I messed around And wasted time And waited far too long Time Moves so slow Now I’m just a castaway With nowhere else to go

Dottie, Queen of the West Pull off your boots Put your feet up and rest a while You’ve been riding the range For far too long And you can’t even force a smile We all know you’re strong But if silences are golden Then your banker is beholden To your pain Your pain Dottie, Queen of the West Take off your hat Set your cares by and rest a spell You’ve been riding the fences Long since dawn Sooner or later the strain will tell We all know you’re strong But if silences are golden Then your bank account is swollen With your pain Your pain Ooooh, ooooh Silences Ooooh, ooooh Your pain Silences (your pain) Silences (your pain) Silences (your pain)

Frozen 03:32
You say You’ve left it all behind No mention of the muse No measure of the meaning It wasn’t worth your time To do the harder work To double down their dares To dive into the deep You couldn’t spare the time I’ve seen the end result You end up half a man An empty shell Frozen by fear of the thing you’ll never be You say It isn't worth the pain Of falling on your face Of failing all your friends You'll never try again Resigned to settle down It’s just a slippery slope To sleepwalking through days Afraid to try again I’ve seen the end result You end up half a man An empty shell Frozen by fear of the thing you’ll never be You were frozen by fear And paralyzed by doubt For so many years Terrified by truths And tormented by doubt For so many years I’ve seen the end result It takes its toll And all these twenty years Frozen by fear of the thing you’ll never be

Anthem 04:19
It was ha-ha-hard on the outside When we were looking in Nobody ever believed it That guys like us could win But now that we finally made it And just when it’s getting good Somebody’s trying to fade it As if they ever could NO WAY Uh uh NO WAY Uh uh Well it’s ha-ha-hard on the inside Now we found our own way in It’s all too clear that we can’t stop now So I guess we’d better begin If bad luck carried us this far Then it’s good for another round Did you ever really expect us To go down without a sound? NO WAY Uh uh NO WAY Uh uh You never noticed Never appreciated The hidden talents of The small-town boys you underrated It was ha-ha-hard on the outside When we were looking in Nobody ever believed it That guys like us could win But now that we finally made it And just when it’s getting good Somebody’s trying to fade it As if they ever could NO WAY Uh uh NO WAY Uh uh NO WAY Uh uh NO WAY Uh uh
