Evergreen Terrace - Mario Speedwagon

Go

Breaking down was not an option
Never having been forgotten a show
Only a pro could've left beaten, crying
Something to drown in

Maybe mistakes
Brought us to this place and helped him
Maybe it's fate
And it was his time to end

Stay and count the days
We're almost home

Where do we go from here?
Now that we've torn wide open
Our broken bodies in the way

Where do we go from here?
With only two words spoken
These nights will never be the same

111 months, 111 flights
All part of the outcome of 111 nights
111 months, 111 flights
All part of the outcome of 111 nights

But time wasn't thrown away
Just thrown in a secret space
A space of 5 heads of gold
A space no one ever holds

No matter the fights or the laughs
No matter the good or the bad
A part of us dies in joy
Machines will move on and destroy
Still destroy, still destroy

Stay and count the days
Stay and count the days
We're almost home

Where do we go from here?
Now that we've torn wide open
Our broken bodies in the way

Where do we go from here?
With only two words spoken
These nights will never be the same

Where do we go from here?
Now that we've torn wide open
Our broken bodies in the way

Where do we go from here?
With only two words spoken
These nights will never be the same

Where do we go from here?
Now that we've torn wide open
Our broken bodies in the way

Where do we go from here?
With only two words spoken
These nights will never be the same

Set me free!

The smell of shit is all around me
Feasting on our fertile grounds
This fire rages all around us
Our eyes are bleeding from the sounds

Please just remind me why you came
We watched you rise. We'll watch you fall
Enjoy your time, it means nothing at all
And I'll scream the reasons why we stayed through this game
Staying the same and we wait cause I know sometimes some things change
Sometimes some things change

Scream these words
Set me free!

Our precious time is nothing at all
Feasting on our sacred grounds
Just like the numbers and the names that we saw
Same as the last time, pride caused the fall

Please just remind me why you came
We watched you rise. We'll watch you fall
Enjoy your time, it means nothing at all
And I'll scream the reasons why we stayed through this game
Staying the same and we wait cause I know sometimes some things change
Sometimes some things change

'Cause sometimes some things change
Sometimes some things change

You can't escape the night that we've thrown you to
Pulling no shadows, you're cast into the
Unknown with shame of ever knowing you
Pain will be an infinity

Now every bit of your hands turn grey
Shaking life away, bring a loathsome touch
Your motives clear, your screaming lungs
I hope you hate the feeling of being a victim

With every word you say I can't find the reasons, reasons
We fail to operate
I can't find the reasons for you
With every passing day I can't find the reasons, reasons
We fail to operate
I can't find the reasons for you now

Your screams will last for hours
It’s now the only thing that I hear
Your words will burn like paper
They'll turn to ash and resonate within

Burn down into
A black hole should be your fate

With every word you say I can't find the reasons, reasons
We fail to operate
I can't find the reasons for you
With every passing day I can't find the reasons, reasons
We fail to operate
I can't find the reasons for you now

Can't find the reasons for you now

I can smell your stench from here
I can smell your stench from here
I can smell your stench from here
I can smell your stench from here

Some quick interest in cleanliness
Would do you some, you some good
Give me a break from your skin
Your breath is going to choke me out

Your disease is eating my good times away
Go faster and faster
And you're just standing at the end of a short bridge of disaster

Give me a break, give me a break from you
Give me a break, give me a break from you

I can smell your stench from here
I can smell your stench from here
I can smell your stench from here
I can smell your stench from here

From your distorted versions of philosophy
No one is impressed with your long life of self tragedy

And it's no ones fault but yours
No ones fault but yours
No ones fault but yours
No ones fault but yours

No ones fault, no ones fault
It's no ones fault, it's no ones fault, it's no ones fault

Stay away
From all the mistakes you’ve ever made
They’ll come back to haunt you
We decay
Only our conscience can show the way
Just don’t force the issue

The hopelessly hopeless marching
Away to a watery grave
You sucked out the feeling
You sucked out the feeling
You sucked out the feeling

I can’t believe that you pulled me under
Capsized in seas that I never understood
Are we all we are?
I can’t believe that you pulled me under
Capsized in seas that I never understood
Are we all we are?

It’s underway
A means to an ending that’s all too vague
With nothing to cling to
As we face
With words falling freely the scars remain
Don’t let them deceive you

The hopelessly hopeless marching
Away to a watery grave
You sucked out the feeling
You sucked out the feeling
You sucked out the feeling

I can’t believe that you pulled me under
Capsized in seas that I never understood
Are we all we are?
I can’t believe that you pulled me under
Capsized in seas that I never understood
Are we all we are?

The hopelessly hopeless marching
Away to a watery grave
The hopelessly hopeless marching
Away to a watery grave

Take it all
Take it all back from me
Take it all
Take it all 'til there’s nothing left
Take it all
Take it all back from me
Take it all
Take it all 'til there’s nothing left to give
Take it all
Take it all back from me
Take it all
Take it all 'til there’s nothing left
Take it all
Take it all back from me
Take it all
Take it all 'til there’s nothing left to give

(So wrap your arms around me and whisper exactly what I want to hear
Dismantled piece by piece, word by word, promise after promise, until there’s nothing left to give)

Nothing left to give
Nothing left to give

I can’t believe that you pulled me under
Capsized in seas that I never understood
Are we all we are?
I can’t believe that you pulled me under
Capsized in seas that I never understood
Are we all we are?

Oooohhhhh!!!

Let's all just face it cold! The wastelessness that gives ties. Let the tower fall. we'll watch the son of simple rage shine! now the tired consent of frustration
Block the walls at the plain

We are not done here yet!
Can't breathe, Can't breathe, Can't breathe at all! Can't fight this suffocation!
Can't breathe, Can't breathe, Can't breathe at all! We are not done here yet!
Can't breathe, Can't breathe, Can't breathe at all! Can't fight this suffocation!
Can't breathe, Can't breathe, Can't breathe at all!

Who's gonna drown in this ditch here tonight?!
Some will swim and some will die!
Who's gonna drown in this ditch here tonight?!
Some will swim and some will die!

It's time...It's clear...It's time! It's clear!

We're not done yet! We are not! We are not! We are not done here yet!
We are not! We are not! We are not done here yet! We're not done! We're not done!

Can't breathe, Can't breathe, Can't breathe at all! Can't fight this suffocation!
Can't breathe, Can't breathe, Can't breathe at all!
Can't breathe, Can't breathe, Can't breathe at all! Can't fight this suffocation!
Can't breathe, Can't breathe, Can't breathe at all! We are not done here yet!
Can't breathe, Can't breathe, Can't breathe at all! Can't fight this suffocation!
Can't breathe, Can't breathe, Can't breathe at all! We are not done here yet!
Can't breathe, Can't breathe, Can't breathe at all! Can't fight this suffocation!
Can't breathe, Can't breathe, Can't breathe at all! We are not done here yet!

I'll choose the center place! The wastelessness that gives ties
Let the tower fall! Let the tower fall!

I can feel it
In the night
Right before I wake
While I'm dreaming

I open my eyes
To see the world
Trying to be free
There’s a wind of fire
And it consumes me

In the moving seconds
Of this waking life
I still can feel the heat
In this state of my
My reality

In this state
In this state
In between
In between
The waking world
The waking world
Reality
Reality

I can feel it
It's taking over
There's something burning deep inside of me
Count the hours
Breathe in seconds
I feel this way for the rest of my life

And there’s a light
That feels like fire
And it consumes me

And there's a light
That feels like fire
It's consuming me

I can feel it
It's taking over
I feel this way for the rest of my life

I gave you everything you needed
(My limbs, my life, my blood, my heart)
Upon my open wounds you're feeding
(its never safe within these walls)
It doesn't matter how you try to fight it
A losing battle that you'll never win (never win)
Its never easy when you run and fight it
Cause know one likes it when you're breaking in

We live through dedication
Year by year (by year)
And every situation
Never good enough
Your echoes resonating
All too clear (too clear)
These were my aspirations
Never good enough

My bitter way won't be conceded
(too much, too soon, too fast, too old)
But bleeding is always believing
(if only I saw what you saw)
It doesn't matter how you try to fight it
A losing battle that you'll never win (never win)
Its never easy when you run and fight it
Cause know one likes it when you're breaking in

Never, never, never enough for you
Never, never, never enough for you
Never enough for you
Never enough for you

Oh!

Not good, not good enough
Not good, not good enough
Not good, not good enough
Not good, not good enough
Not good, not good enough
Not good, not good enough
Not good, not good enough
Not good

We live through dedication
Year by year (by year)
And every situation
Never good enough
Your echoes resonating
All too clear (too clear)
These were my aspirations
Never good enough

I'm sending a signal, is anyone there, to receive and believe in my words?
It's hard to believe when you can't even breathe in, breathe out
The pushing and pulling. the weight of the world, the world breaks my spirit and crushes my hope
Is anyone out there to help pull me out, out this hole?

I know it will be hard
I know it will be rougher than before, 'cause life seems to always ask for more and i am giving all I have
But maybe giving's not enough and I just need, need to push through these black holes

Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back
Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back
Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back
Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back

I'm sending a signal, does anyone care, care to believe in the ways of this world?
It's ready to show you the truth of today. Today I stand out from the
Rest of the dying, rest of the damned, I believed in with both eyes shut
I'm sending this signal, does anyone care, care to push on?

So give me a reason
To not look away
A reason for trying
A reason to stay
I'm sending the signal
Is anyone there
To give me a reason
A reason to care?

Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back
Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back
Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back
Separation from the complications, I'm not coming, I'm not coming back
