All You Cannot Live Without What would we see What would we get What would we be Without it What would we hear What would we miss What would we fear Without it What would we taste What would we get What would we waste Without it What would we feel What would we miss What would we heal Without this What would we make What would we stake What would we fake How much would we take What would we quote What would we say What would we try How much would we lie Would we stand Or would we kneel Would we buy Beg, borrow or steal Would we destroy Would we employ Would we avoid The void How would we die What would we find How would we side On our greatest divide What would we hide What would we seek Would we be meek Or is that just weak What would we see What would we do What would we be If it wasn't for you Nothing I am nothing We are nothing No, nothing at all

Destinee, New York has got you sad, for all the time, you said, you wished you had. To go and leave this town is what you said, but fear has left your dreams of fame for dead. And my dear Anthony LA has got you down, for all the time, you said, you thought you found. To make your goals be more than paper scraps, but drinks have blurred your notes and time's elapsed. Will you let it hold you now? Will you let it tie you down? Will you let it hold you now? Your will is bound. We won't leave it all in our heads. And we say, "not yet". We won't leave it all in our heads. We're not running now. Emily Paris has made you weep, for all the hope, you said, you knew you'd keep. To take your life into your shaking hands, but fate has turned your will to life's demands. Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh. We got our heads down, down got our heads down. We won't leave it all in our heads. And we say, "not yet". We won't leave it all in our heads. We're not running now. I won’t let you and I won’t let you and I won’t let you down. We won't leave it all in our heads. And we say, "not yet". We won't leave it all in our heads. We're not running now.

Teacher! Don't let it out There is so much pain in your world of doubt Teacher! Don't help us now We can't learn if we cannot hear the sound Watching for the superman Wanting all you can Wishing for the superman Wanting all you can Waiting for the superman Wanting all you can Who will save the world when it's down and out? Who will save the world; it's drowning now? And it's you who's going to have to save yourself And it's you who's going to have to save yourself And it's you who's going to have to save yourself And it's you who's going to have to save yourself And it's you who's going to have to save yourself And it's you who's going to have to save yourself And it's you who's going to have to save yourself And it's you who's going to have to save yourself But we've got the lot to hold us up We've got the lot to hold us up We've got the lot to hold us up We've got the lot to hold us up

He said, "It's all been done before" She said, "You can never know for sure" End day She said, "The ball is in your court" He said, "I was never one for sport" End day Oh oh, how they miss them, day to day Oh oh, how they miss them, and they can't stay She said, "It's all because of me" He said, "You're damn right it could be" End day He said, "I never meant it to..." She said, "What the hell did you think it'd do?" End day They say that heart wounds are critical So they wear a vest that's ballistical Strapped down with armour that's physical No room for heartache that's mystical And they say that heartbreak is clinical So they save the heart anatomical Strapped down with IV that's physical No room for heartache that's mystical Ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba They say (Ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba) And they (Ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba) Strapped down (Ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba) No room (Ba ba, ba ba ba ba ba ba) And it builds And it builds And it builds And it builds And it builds And it builds And it builds And it builds And it breaks (to be continued...)

Done We always run Done We always run Done We always run Done We always run And our hearts are dying down And this is what they said to you And our hearts are dying down And this is what they said to you And our hearts are dying down And this is what they said to you (Ohhh, ohhh ohhh Ohhh, ohhh ohhh Ohhh, ohhh ohhh Ohhh, ohhh ohhh) We are not dead yet We are undead We are not dead yet We are undead We are not dead yet We are undead We are not dead yet We are undead They're dead! If we ever said, "It's over" Misread because they're all we've got to lose We'll die, but we leave our lives with others We'll lie, but we'll never die alone

He woke up every day to a sign hung above his bed "Remember you're dying" is all it read He met with brothers and others and continued on his way as if to say "We're in this together For worse, for better" Leafing through the pamphlets he stuck out his calloused hands Standing on the corner, he'd still pray for their demands And no one said that mourning would be easy But trying beats dying so he felt content to see And no one said that mourning would be easy But trying beats dying so he felt content to see Hallelujah And he sings Hallelujah And he sings Hallelujah And he sings Hallelujah He thinks of himself as a "doer" and gets things done Stacks of goals and footwear holes concur Schedule billed and mailbox filled And no time left to think of her He flips the channel and prays for suicide bombers So misguided they'd die for a lie And falls asleep in front of glow of TV's snow And winds up awake at night, looking at his sign And he's lying on a lie And he's lying on a lie And he's lying on a lie And he's lying on a lie That says that he's living That says that he's living That says that he's living That says that he's living That says that he's living That says that he's living That says that he's living That says that he's living That says that he's living That says that he's living That says that he's living That says that he's living (to be continued...)
