Way Out

you can't tell the truth
and you don't want to lie
so you remain silent
while you try to decide

what is your way out
how do you get out
get out get out get out

but you can't stay silent
and you can't hide
so you avoid me
while you try to decide

what is your way out
how do you get out
get out get out get out

your back against a hard place
and the rock's in sight
you look around
while you try to decide

what is your way out
how do you get out
get out get out get out

Turn Out The Lights

The lights go out and the darkness sweeps the floor.
I've seen enough. I close my eyes and see no more.

My pen is dull, my ink is dry and that's alright.
Time to turn the page - this is the last song that I write.

Bravery Has Died

bravery has died
the heroes won't survive
long live cowardice
long live the likes of you and I

bravery has died
the heroes won't survive
long live cowardice
because the fear keeps us alive

bravery has died
or if it ain't dead then it sure is dying
bravery has died
now it's just a matter of time

bravery has died
altough some claim it was buried alive
bravery has died
it's friends all fled and left it to die

bravery has died
shot from a car that was driving by
bravery has died
but I'm pretty sure it'll be alright

bravery has died
it died for the likes of you and I
