The Flood (Album: "The Flood" (2011)) (OF MICE & MEN LYRICS)

.

This world it needs a cleansing, removing all its filth.
Wearing your masks of envy but I see you still.

For forty days, walk the earth, removing all this curse.
These forty nights, and you're drowning as I fill your lungs.

Hoping hoping hoping, to drown the world.

To drown the world.
And now your world is ending and I'm doing just...

And now your world, world is ending, and I'm doing just fine.

Look into my eyes and I can see right through you

This world it needs a cleansing removing all the filth.
Wearing your masks of envy but I see you still.

But I see you still. But I see you, see you, see you still.

This world it needs a cleansing removing all the filth.
Wearing your masks of envy but I see you still.

Hoping hoping hoping, to drown the world.

And now we drown the world. You're drowning in the flood.

Won't be mistaken with the saints of youth,
God's backed up again.
I swear, when I scream,
we're not home again.
Run from your problems,
but you cannot run from yourself.
You'll take this back.

Broken I've lied,
pick up the pieces,
you'll try to live for yourself.
How can you live for yourself?
Live how you wish,
but live as if you'll die today.

I won't stop until I can reach you
And get this off my chest.
A sense of direction,
to lead you home again.

Mind your tongue
And save your breath for someone else.
You won't believe me,
we're not the same 'cause I dig
And I dig you too.
Conformed in writing,
I will fight for the sake of you.
I will fight for this.

Dream if you'll live forever,
Dream for me.
Broken down,
I've tried to pick up the pieces.
You lied.
You live for yourself.
Yourself.

They Don't Call It The South For Nothing (Album: "Of Mice & Men" (2010)) (OF MICE & MEN LYRICS)

Make waves, make waves, I'm sea, it's all you can take.
Come back, back down now, I'm drifting away.
Your ship's sunk. It's gone down, now your captain is dead.
Your saints become sailors, when my ocean is fed by these,
Bloody waters, Mark my words. Come on.

Alright I want you call to clap along and sing with me:
When I said I'd fight back, I didn't say that I'd fight fair.
I said I'd fight back, I didn't say that I'd fight fair.

Salt your eyes, sleep with all the fishes.
The waves start the flood that's drowning yourself.
Broken, then we'll salt your eyes.
No wind, this sound.


Waves, make waves.
Back down, stop drifting away.
Come back, come back, it's all you can take.
We'll pour salt in your eyes.

I said I'd fight back, I didn't say that I'd fight fair.

I believe it's time for me to be famous,
And out of place.
I believe it's time for me to move forward,
When I break through. [4x]

This time I'll make you,
Proud to see me over, come on daylight.

Proud of, who you raised.

Your shelter, your peacefulness.

So this time I'll make you proud.

Proud of, who you raised up.
You know that I will,
Always be here 'til the end.

Come back so I can say thank you for this,
Home cooked meals and a place to rest,
My troubled head when you're away,
I've passed the test, I've earned an A,
Not just in school, but in life,
You'll always be right by my side.
To help me show, hope to all,
That are lost and sick in this dying world.
I'll use the love you left behind,
I'll change their minds, I'll change their minds.

I hope, I hope you smile,
When you look down on me.
I hope you smile.

This can't, we won't know.
I hope that I make you proud.

This is not what it is, only baby scars.
I need your love like a boy needs his mother's side.

This is not what it is, only baby scars.
I need your love like a boy needs his mother's side.

This is not what it is, only baby scars.
I need your love like a boy needs his mother's side, yeah.

.

Daddy said, Daddy said, go out and make me proud.
If only he could see the way you've turned out now.

Go ahead baby and say the words you want from me.
Believe, cause' I'm the one that wrote this song.
If I could turn back time and read your mind,
Besides these dice and cards I'm just another game.

If you could live forever, you'd still wanna be a one night stand.

You can walk on, cause I'm leaving.
Goodbye to you and everything.

Look at the mess of mistakes you've made.
Heroes, yeah, I will remain.

I won't be another notch on bedpost sheets.

You tried to test me and you failed.
"I'll stay the course, I'll stay the course, I'll hold my head up high."

Another misread lullaby.
"I won't be misread again, I won't be here waiting, goodbye to you, goodbye."

You can walk on, cause I'm leaving.
Goodbye to you and everything.

We wrote the book.
You wrote the lies.
So take this forever.

Forth in writing, Oh my God.
Oh. My. God.

So press on now baby, you never seemed so fake.
Just give me something that's real again.

I've said it once or twice,
I'm coming down to show you the way to live with my hand.

Inner me, I know you are killing me from inside.
You can laugh, you can laugh but don't waste my time.
You pessimistic, you cannibal.

Don't believe me, cause I'm already dead.
Don't believe me, I'll take to the bitter end.

I've been waiting to show you life abundantly.
So, I'll end this talk of who I really am and who I really ought to be.

I won't let you fall back down to the ways that you wanted to escape.
My love, take my hand, I'll show to you everything.
It's not who I am and who you want to.

Inner me, I know you are killing me from inside.
You can laugh, you can laugh but don't waste my time.
You pessimistic, you cannibal.

For the sake of failing you, my God still lives.
Roll with the pack my God, who will make all wrongs right again?
Roll with the pack my son, who will make wrongs right again?

I'll show you grace like you never have seen.
I'll show you grace.

.

Now, Ready, Set, let's take this offense in our hands.
We won't be cast aside, you live your life just...

And you can have the whole wide world,
the best part was in our...

How can you say that you're me,
when its easy to see that your fake.

You expect me to fail from,
this is not a high fashion flask.
You can pay for school,
but you can't buy class.

You can have the whole wide world,
the best part was always in our hands.

Cast aside, this can't be stopped by pride.
Cast aside, we won't be stopped by pride.

We've been waiting to show you,
We've been waiting to take this back.

This world will be ours, we won't stop at nothing now.
This world will be ours, we won't stop at nothing.
