Rob Bourdon - A Thousand Suns: The Full Experience lyrics

[The Requiem] God save us everyone Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns For the sins of our hands Sins of our tongue Sins of our father The sins of our young God save us everyone Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns For the sins of our hands Sins of our tongue Sins of our father The sins of our young [The Radiance] "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty, and to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form, and says, 'Now I am become d**h, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." [Burning in the skies] I use the deadwood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies I filled my cup with the rising of the sea And poured it out in an ocean of debris I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve I held my breath as clouds began to form But you were lost in the beating of the storm But in the end we were meant to be apart Like separate chambers of the human heart I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve It's in the blackened bones Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve I'm swimming in the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve The blame is mine alone For bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve What I don't deserve What I don't deserve What I don't deserve I use the deadwood to make the fire rise The blood of innocence burning in the skies [When they come for me] I am not a pattern to be followed The pill that I'm on is a tough one to swallow I'm not a criminal, not a role model Not a born leader, I'm a tough act to follow I am not the fortune and the fame Or the same person telling you to forfeit the game I came in the ring like a dog on a chain And found out the underbelly's sicker than it seems And it seems ugly but it can get worse Because even a blueprint is a gift and a curse Because once you got a theory of how the thing works Everybody wants the next thing to be like the first And I'm not a robot, I'm not a monkey I will not dance even if the beat's funky Opposite of lazy, far from a punk Ya'll ought to stop talking and start trying to catch up motherf**er And all the people say Try and catch up motherf**er Lauren said money changes situation Big said it increase the complication Kane said don't step I ain't the one Chuck said an uzi weighs a motherf**ing tone And I'm just a student of the game that they taught me Rocking every stage in every place that they brought me I'm awfully underrated but came here to correct it And so it ain't mistaken I'm gonna state it for the record I am the opposite of wack, opposite of weak Opposite of slack synonym of heat Synonym of crack, closest to a beat Far from a punk Ya'll ought to stop talking and start trying to catch up motherf**er And all the people say Try and catch up motherf**er But when they come for me Come for me, I'm gone But when they come for me Come for me, I'm gone But when they come for me Come for me, I'll be gone And all the people say Try to catch up motherf**er And all the people say Try to catch up motherf**er [Robot boy] You say you're not going to fight Because no one will fight for you That you think there's not enough love And no one to give it to That your sure you've hurt for so long You've got nothing left to lose You say your not going to fight Because no one will fight for you You say the weight of the world Has kept you from letting go And you think compa**ion's a flaw But you'll never let it show And your sure you've hurt in a way That no one will ever know But someday the weight of the world Will give you strength to go Hold on the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go So hold on the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go So hold on the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go Just hold on the weight of the world Will give you the strength to go [Waiting for the end] This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm Though the words sound steady something's empty within them We say yeah with fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there Because we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear Until we dead it, forget it let it all disappear Waiting for the end to come Wishing I had strength to stand This is not what I had planned It's out of my control Flying at the speed of light Thoughts were spinning in my head So many things were left unsaid It's hard to let you go I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I want to do Is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got Sitting in an empty room Trying to forget the past This wasn't meant to last I wish it wasn't so I know what it takes to move on I know how it feels to lie All I want to do Is trade this life for something new Holding on to what I haven't got What was left when that fire was gone I thought it felt right but that right was wrong All caught up in the eye of the storm And trying to figure out what it's like moving on And I don't even what kind of things I said My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead So I'm picking up the pieces, now where to begin The hardest part of ending is starting again All I want to do Is trade this life for something new Holding onto what I haven't got I'm holding on to what I haven't got I'm holding on to what I haven't got This is not the end, this is not the beginning Just a voice like a riot rocking every revision But you listen to the tone and the violent rhythm Though the words sound steady something's empty within them We say yeah with fists flying up in the air Like we're holding onto something that's invisible there Because we're living at the mercy of the pain and the fear Until we dead it, forget it let it all disappear [Blackout] I'm stuck in this bed you made Alone with this sinking feeling I saw through the words you said To the secrets you've been keeping It's written upon your face All the lies how they cut so deeply You can't get enough You take and take and take And never say no You got to get it inside You push it back down You push it back down No You'll never get it inside You push it back down Blackout Blood in your eye You say that it's not your fault And swear that I am mistaken You said it's not what it seems No remorse for the trust your breaking You run to the back you fall Suffocate in the mess your making You can't get enough You take and take and take and take and take f** it are you listening No You got to get it inside You push it back down You push it back down No You'll never get it inside You push it back down Blackout Blood in your eye No You got to get it inside You push it back down You push it back down No You'll never get it inside You push it back down Blackout Blood in your eye Blackout Blood in your eye You push it back down Push it back You push it back down Blood in your eye Blackout Blood in your eye Blackout Blood in your eye Blackout Blood in your eye Floating out as colors fill the light We look up from the ground in fields of paper white Floating up you pa** us in the night The future gazing out a past to overwrite So come down far below We've been waiting to collect the things you know Come down far below We've been waiting to collect what you've let go Come down Come down Come down Come down Come down [Wretches and kings] To save face How low can you go Talk a lot of game but yet you don't know Fire on the way make us all say whoa The people up top push the people down low Get down and obey every word Steady get in line if you haven't yet heard Want to take what I got don't be absurd Don't fight the power and nobody gets hurt If you haven't heard yet than I'm letting you know There ain't sh** we don't run when guns unload And no one make a move unless my people say so Got everything under control Now everybody go Steel unload, final blow We the animals take control Hear us now, clear and true Wretches and kings We come for you So keep pace How slow can you go Talk a lot of sh** and yet you don't know Fire on the way make you all say whoa The people up top and the people down low Get down and I'm running it like that The front of the attack is exactly where I'm at Somewhere in between the kick and the hi-hat The pen and the contract, the pitch and the contact So get with the combat I'm letting them know There ain't sh** you can say to make me back down low So push the bu*ton and the whole thing blows Spinning everything out of control Now everybody go Steel unload, final blow We the animals take control Hear us now, clear and true Wretches and kings We come for you Steel unload, final blow Filthy animals beat them low Skin and bone, black and blue No more this sun shall beat onto you From the front to back And the side to side If you fear what I feel Put them up real high From the front to back And the side to side If you fear what I feel Put them up real high Front to back And the side to side If you fear what I feel Put them up real high Front to back And the side to side If you fear what I feel Put them up real high Front to back And the side to side If you fear what I feel Put them up real high Front to back And the side to side If you fear what I feel Put them up real high [Wisdom, Justice, and Love] "I come to this magnificent house of worship tonight because my conscience leaves me no other choice... A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war, 'This way of settling differences is not just.' This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous d** of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love..." [Iridescent] You were standing in the wake of devastation You were waiting on the edge of the unknown With the cataclysm raining down Inside's crying save me now You were there impossibly alone Do you feel cold and lost in desperation You build up hope but failure's all you've known Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go Let it go And in a burst of light that blinded every angel As if the sky had blown the heavens into stone You felt the gravity of tempered grace Falling into empty space No one there to catch in their arms Do you feel cold and lost in desperation You build up hope but failure's all you've known Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go Let it go Do you feel cold and lost in desperation You build up hope but failure's all you've known Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go Do you feel cold and lost in desperation You build up hope but failure's all you've known Remember all the sadness and frustration And let it go Let it go [Fallout] I'm swimming through the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve It's in the blackened bones Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve I'm swimming through the smoke Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve It's in the blackened bones Of bridges I have burned So don't apologize I'm losing what I don't deserve [The Catalyst] God bless us everyone We're a broken people living under a loaded gun And it can't be outfought It can't be outdone It can't be outmatched It can't be outrun No God bless us everyone We're a broken people living under a loaded gun And it can't be outfought It can't be outdone It can't be outmatched It can't be outrun No And when I close my eyes tonight To symphonies of blinding light (God bless everyone We're a broken people living under a loaded gun) Like memories in cold decay Transmissions echoing away Far from the world of you and I Where oceans bleed into the sky God save us everyone Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns For the sins of our hands The sins of our tongue The sins of our fathers The sins of our young No God save us everyone Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns For the sins of our hands The sins of our tongue The sins of our fathers The sins of our young No And when I close my eyes tonight To symphonies of blinding light (God save us everyone Will be burn inside the fires of a thousand suns) Like memories in cold decay Transmissions echoing away Far from the world of you and I Where oceans bleed into the sky Like memories in cold decay Transmissions echoing away Far from the world of you and I Where oceans bleed into the sky Lift me up Let me go 16x God bless us everyone We're a broken people living under a loaded gun And it can't be outfought It can't be outdone It can't be outmatched It can't be outrun No God bless us everyone We're a broken people living under a loaded gun And it can't be outfought It can't be outdone It can't be outmatched It can't be outrun [The messenger] When you feel all alone Cut off from this cruel world Your instincts tell you to run Listen to your heart Those angel voices They'll sing to you They'll be your guide back home When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind It keeps us kind When you've suffered enough And your spirit is breaking Your growing desperate from the fight Remember your love And you always will be This melody will bring you right back home When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind When life leaves us blind Love keeps us kind
