FINGER ELEVEN Five Crooked Lines LYRICS
album: "Five Crooked Lines" (2015)
Criminal
I thought about a friend's advice
He told me to forget your eyes
'Cause your heart's encased
in knives and frozen fast
He told me you were out of bounds
I'm beginning to believe that now
Still I wish it wasn't me
that you were looking as good
I must be invisible
Maybe I'm not what you're looking for
But you caught my eye like a criminal
and I can't stop seeing you anymore
I think your drink is almost done
I'm gonna try to buy you one
I'm hoping I can join
the fun and raise a glass
I'm watching everything you do
I wonder if you see me too
I stole a look and I could swear
that you were looking back
I must be invisible
Maybe I'm not what you're looking for
But you caught my eye like a criminal
and I can't stop seeing you anymore
Oh I must be invisible
Maybe I'm not what you're looking for
But you caught my eye like a criminal
and I can't stop seeing you anymore
Oh and I never found the one to replace here
so I'm gonna have myself to another
I must be invisible
Maybe I'm not what you're looking for
But you caught my eye like a criminal
and I can't stop seeing you anymore
Oh I must be invisible
Maybe I'm not what you're looking for
But you caught my eye like a criminal
and I can't stop seeing you anymore oh

Save Your Breath
It started out of love, and ended real in love
Now they remember us as dynamite and dust
So save your breath, don't fire slings and arrows yet
'Cos silence is all the both of us have left
Don't tell me that you told me so and you saw it coming years ago
I'll tell you every one accountable like a target by the barrel fold
Don't tell me that you told me so and you saw it coming years ago
Coming faster than a cannibal like a target standing ten feet tall
I can't blame 'em all, so you can save your
Save your breath, don't fire slings and arrows yet
'Cos silence is all the both of us have left
Don't tell me that you told me so and you saw it coming years ago
I'll tell you every one accountable like a target by the barrel fold
Don't tell me that you told me so and you saw it years ago
Coming faster than a cannibal like a target standing ten feet tall
I can't blame them all, so you can save your
Save your breath, don't fire slings and arrows yet
'Cos silence is all the both of us have left

Wolves And Doors
Step right on out
The zone of comfort
A little left unsaid
One step outside your head
Take all these words
Take all this time
You gotta spend it somewhere
Keep your delusion wealthy
yeah
Keep your soul for another day
Cause the game's the game
And the wolves at the door remain
There
Yeah the wolves at the door remain
There
Yeah the wolves at the door remain
There
Yeah the wolves at the door remain
Until I play the game again
Go save that world
Go move that mountain
Make all the difference
Step up above the rest
Give every action all your energy
And don't let up until they see
What you think they think is best
Yeah save your soul for another day
Cause the game's the game
And the wolves at the door remain
There
Yeah the wolves at the door remain
There
Yeah the wolves at the door remain
There
Yeah the wolves at the door remain
Until I play the game again
Yeah the wolves at the door remain
And the wolves at the door remain
There
Yeah the wolves at the door remain
There
Yeah the wolves at the door remain
There
Yeah the wolves at the door remain
Until I play the game again
Yeah the wolves at the door remain
Give in, breathe in
They won't go away
Give in, breathe in
They won't go away
Give in, breathe in
They won't go away
Give in, breathe in
The wolves at the door remain

Come On, Oblivion
The place I used to know outside and in
Has changed and yet, will only change again
But normal's just a hiding place away
Come on, come on, oblivion, I never want to lose you now
It's not too late, you're not so far away
It feels like fate and I can't afford to come back down
But they relaxed, conviction rides again
And only false security remains
But normal's just a hiding place away
Come on, come on, oblivion, I never want to lose you now
It's not too late you're not so far away
It feels like fate and I can't afford to come back down
It feels like fate and I can't afford to come back down
It's mine to take, so give me more and let me drown
Floating on the old familiar line
The stone is sinking and I'm caught up all the time
But I can't pull myself back out, one more time
So Come on, come on, I wanna go
Come on, come on 'cos I think you know
Come on, come on, to where we belong
Come on, come one come on come on
Come on, come on, oblivion, I never want to lose you now
It's not too late, you're not so far away
It feels like fate and I can't afford to come back down
It's mine to take, so give me more and let me drown

Not Going To Be Afraid
I watched the bridges burn, I see the pages turn my story's ready to unfold
Even though it's so dark, I see one last spark maybe holds not far away
Heaven can help me, but courage could sell me on one last chance I should take
For those who don't know my name, play me just like a king
Today won't be the same, I'm not gonna be afraid
Crushing the overwhelming doubt, scream over the loudest shout
Then whatever happens now, I'm not gonna be afraid
Gone to a different place so far from yesterday, change is all that remains
Whoever I am now, I am without you, I'll do my best to be brave
For those who don't know my name, play me just like a king
Today won't be the same I'm not gonna be afraid
Crushing the overwhelming doubt, scream over the loudest shout
Then whatever happens now, I'm not gonna be afraid.
For those who don't know my name, play me just like a king
Today won't be the same I'm not gonna be afraid
Crushing the overwhelming doubt, scream over the loudest shout
Then whatever happens now, I'm not gonna be afraid.
For those who don't know my name, play me just like a king
Today won't be the same I'm not gonna be afraid
Crushing the overwhelming doubt, scream over the loudest shout
Then whatever happens now, I'm not gonna be afraid.
Whatever this life will bring, I'm not gonna be afraid
This moment means everything, I'm not gonna be afraid.

Five Crooked Lines
Five crooked lines meet at five different times
To make a star that shines so bright it just might lead us to eternal life
The door was open wide and it was more than surprising and we swore
the world'd be ours in time but just like that the star fell from the sky
Into a lake of flames
Born of a fiery rain
Now it's all replaced
So watch it fall again
Into a lake of flames
Born of a fiery rain
Now it's all replaced
So watch it fall again
And again as the dreams erase

And again as the dreams erase

Blackout Song
I told myself I'm staying tonight, but here I am with no where inside
I feel amazing and if you are willing, this is only the beginning
So get in right now, you've got to come down, I'm calling you out
Let's stay up all night and we'll sing for everything good in our lives
Let's stay up all night and we'll sing fuck everything we never tried
Put a song on, I don't care which one 'cos I'll only get the words wrong
I'll change the meaning to just how I'm feeling, and I don't feel much like leaving
So get in right now, you've got to come down, I'm calling you out
Let's stay up all night and we'll sing for everything good in our lives
Let's stay up all night and we'll sing fuck everything we never tried
So get in right now, you've got to come down, I'm calling you out
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Let's stay up all night and we'll sing for everything good in our lives
Let's stay up all night and we'll sing fuck everything we never tried
You'll remember me now as the water blacked out, but don't forget I had a real good time
And rememberance sings, celebrate everything
I won't forget this for the rest of my life
Already is tonight, fuck everything fuck everything
So tonight, fuck everything fuck everything.

Lost For Words
Impossible loves to sing in the same place
But that's where I was with me and my mind games
The progress reports all say the same thing
But no news was good just not in my case, my case
Maybe there's something I should've known
But if I start to speak, my cover's blown
I'll answer you now, but I'm guessing I'm wrong
The times that are back seems like it's all gone, long gone
Lost for words so back I turn
The trouble began with timing and pacing
But my body slows my mind is racing
The cinema shows reflections of others
They safely escape, glory is all days, all days
Maybe there's something I should've known
But if I start to speak, my cover's blown
I'll answer you now, but I'm guessing I'm wrong
The times that are back seems like it's all gone, long gone
Lost for words, so back I turn
It's never now, it's always too little too late
It's never now, I'm always over and in delay
It's never now, it's always too little too late
It's never now and I say what you want
So say what you want me to say
So say what you want me to say
So say what you want me to say
So say what you want me to say
Lost for words so back I turn
It's never now, it's always too little too late
It's never now, it's never now
It's never now, it's always too little too late
It's never now, I'm always over and in delay
It's never now, it's always too little too late
It's never now, now say what you want,
Say what you want me to say
Say what you want me to say
Say what you want me to say
(say what you want me to say)

A New Forever
Where were you when the days were long
We used to have the time but now it's gone
And so a new forever just goes on
Now you're somewhere in the atmosphere
Somehow everywhere but never here
The reason that I know it's true
Is 'cause the voices in my head sound just like you
I'm sure you're spirit's coming 'round
And I'm sure I'll be here to bring it down
They've been imaginary barriers all along
They've been imaginary barriers... but they're real enough
Before we knew the dusk from dawn
We never knew who's side the time was on
For all we knew forever wasn't so long
How many days have come and gone
I don't care to count for fear I'm wrong
They've been imaginary barriers all along
They've been imaginary barriers... but they're real enough
They've been imaginary barriers all along
They've been imaginary barriers... but they're real enough
I used to hear your voice before
But I'm not sure I hear it anymore
I'm sure your spirit's still as true
'Cause you never left the world, the world left you
********************************************************
Absolute Truth
I'm gonna crack the rose-colored glasses
Of every history revisionist
I'm gonna call them on their modified instances
Till they tell it like it really is
Just like you when you talk like you do
Well i can play too, delusion is cruel
That's the absolute truth
I wanna break the mold that grows on all remembrances
I want the story told like a spirit level balanced it
'Cause their looking through a pair of awful opportune lenses
Seeing only your side had its real advantages
And that's you, when you talk like you do
Well i can play too, delusion is cruel
That's the absolute truth
(I'm gonna crack the rose-colored glasses)
Yeah that's you, when you talk like you do
Well i can play too, delusion is cruel
That's the absolute truth
That's the absolute truth
That's the absolute truth
That's the absolute truth

Gods Of Speed
I get the call from the gods of speed
I feel the rumble of the seat
I'll go from here to top velocity
From there it's all eternity
The point of no return's in the rear view mirror
I'll return to somewhere but it's not here
Screaming into the sky I feel the wind on my face
Steal the light from the heavens before night steals the day
Don't wanna solve the big bad mysteries
The gods have whispered just enough to me
If they see fit to bless my machine
I'll go fast and gracefully
Screaming into the sky I feel the wind on my face
Steal the light from the heavens before night steals the day
Screaming into the sky I feel the wind on my face
Steal the light from the heavens before night steals the day
Screaming into the sky I feel the wind on my face
Steal the light from the heavens before night steals the day
Screaming into the sky I feel the wind on my face
Steal the light from the heavens before night steals the day
