Shinedown – Unity

I found a note with your name and a picture of us
Even though it was framed and covered in dust
It’s the map in my mind that sends me on my way

They say it’s never too late to stop being afraid
And there is no one else here so why should I wait
And in the blink of an eye the past begins to fade

So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth is the day that you say “I’m not scared”

Put your hands in the air If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air one more time

I’ve seen a million miles met a million faces
Took all I knew to reach all these places
And I’d do it again If it brings me back to you

So have you ever been caught in a sea of despair?
And your moment of truth Is the day that you say “I’m not scared”

Put your hands in the air If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air one more time

Put your hands in the air..

Put your hands in the air If you hear me out there
I’ve been looking for you day and night
Shine a light in the dark let me see where you are
‘Cause I’m not gonna leave you behind

If I told you that you’re not alone
And I show you this is where you belong
Put your hands in the air one more time
Put your hands in the air one more time

Shinedown – Through The Ghost

[Verse 1]
Speak of the devil
Look who just walked into the room
The guilt invaded
Notion of someone I once knew

[Bridge]
All the perfects moments are wrong
All the precious pieces are gone
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covering both of us

Did you hide yourself away?
I can’t see you anymore
Did you eclipse another day?
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul

Did you hide yourself away?
Are you leaving through the ghost?
Did you finally find a place
Above the shadows so the world will never know?
The world will never know you like I do

[Verse 2]
So many silent sorrows
You never hear from again
And now that you’ve lost tomorrow
Is yesterday still a friend?

[Bridge]
All the bridges we built were burned
Not a single lesson was learned
Everything that mattered is just
A city of dust
Covering both of us

Did you hide yourself away?
I can’t see you anymore
Did you eclipse another day?
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul

Did you hide yourself away?
Are you leaving through the ghost?
Did you finally find a place
Above the shadows so the world will never know?
The world will never know you like I do

Like I still do

Did you hide yourself away?
I can’t see you anymore
Did you eclipse another day?
I used to wake up to the colour of your soul

Did you hide yourself away?
Are you leaving through the ghost?
Did you finally find a place
Above the shadows so the world will never know?
The world will never know you…

Shinedown – Nowhere Kids

[Verse 1]
All it takes is a main attraction
Scattered bones underneath the fashion
Lower life on a higher plain
That’s what you want
That’s what they’re givin’ away

[Pre-Chorus]
Photogenic, come and get it
You can have it
Take it all!
Schizophrenic, so sadistic
I don’t know
Politicians, in condition
Dyin’ for a curtain call
Counter culture, full of vultures
Bet you think I’m what!

We’re goin’ all out
But get ‘em up, get ‘em up
And if they wanna take a picture
Tell ‘em I don’t give a fuck!

[Chorus]
No one needs you after all
That little social scene
It’s just a hate machine
No one’s here to take your call
And now your self esteem
Ain’t what it used to be

You’ve inspired
The breath of ignorance
The death of innocence
Guess who’s back and mad as hell
The nowhere kids that wished you well

Nowhere!
Kids
Nowhere!
Kids
Nowhere!

[Verse 2]
The new face of an old distraction
Another victim with the same reaction
A catastrophic contradiction at best
I know you’re hanging onto zeros
Cause you got nothing left

[Pre-Chorus]
Photogenic, come and get it
You can have it
Take it all!
Schizophrenic, so sadistic
I don’t know
(I don’t know)
Politicians, in condition
Dyin’ for a curtain call
Counter culture, full of vultures
Bet you think I’m what!

We’re goin’ all out
But get ‘em up, get ‘em up
And if they wanna take a picture
Tell ‘em I don’t give a fuck!

[Chorus]
No one needs you after all
That little social scene
It’s just a hate machine
No one’s here to take your call
And now your self esteem
Ain’t what it used to be

You’ve inspired
The breath of ignorance
The death of innocence
Guess who’s back and mad as hell
The nowhere kids that wished you well

NOWHERE!

[Repeat Chorus]

Nowhere! Kids [x6]

NOWHERE!

Shinedown – My Name (Wearing Me Out)

[Verse 1]
My name is worthless like you told me I once was
My name is empty cause you drained away the love
My name is searching since you stole my only soul
My name is hatred and the reasons we both know

Worthless, empty, searching, hatred
Well who am I right now?

[Chorus]
You’re fuckin’ wearing me out!
You’re always dragging me down!
You’re the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don’t need a gun to take back what’s mine
It’s over
It’s over now
You’re done wearing me out

[Verse 2]
My name is screaming like the sound of your heart failing
My name is loco like the motive that betrayed me

Screaming, loco, don’t say you know
Who I am right now

[Chorus]
You’re fuckin’ wearing me out!
You’re always dragging me down!
You’re the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don’t need a gun to take back what’s mine
It’s over
It’s over now
You’re done wearing me out

You’re wearing me out [x6]

[Bridge]
You’ll be ancient history
But who am I right now?

My name is revenge and I’m here to save my name

[Chorus]
You’re fuckin’ wearing me out!
You’re always dragging me down!
You’re the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don’t need a gun to take back what’s mine
(You’re fuckin’ wearing me out)
It’s over
(You’re always dragging me down)
It’s over

You’re the fake, fallen, force of nature, sick mind
I don’t need a gun to take back what’s mine
It’s over
It’s over now
You’re done wearing me out

Shinedown – Miracle

[Verse 1]
Say it once, tell me twice
Are you certain I’m alright?
Just a sign, to remind me
That tomorrow’s worth the fight
Ever changing the storyline that keeps me alive

So make a wish, and say…

Give me life, give me love
Scarlet angel from above
Not so low, not so high
Keep it perfectly disguised

[Pre-Chorus]
Every changing the storyline that keeps me alive
My Mona Lisa’s making me smile
Right before my eyes!

[Chorus]
Take another look
Take a look around
It’s you and me
It’s here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I’ll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am

I just want you to see
What I’ve always believed
You are…
The miracle in me

[Verse 2]
Show me faith, like you do
I’m amazed at how you move
Side to side, front to back
You know how to make it last

[Pre-Chorus]
Ever changing the storyline that keeps us alive
My Mona Lisa’s making me smile
Right before my eyes!

[Chorus]
Take another look
Take a look around
It’s you and me
It’s here and now
As you sparkle in the sky
I’ll catch you while I can
Cause all we are is all I am

I just want you to see
What I’ve always believed
You are…
The miracle in me

[Bridge]
These are the moments you can’t pass back
Let’s turn the water to wine
One more time!

[Repeat Chorus]

The miracle in me
You’re the miracle in me

Shinedown – I’m Not Alright

All dressed up
In a white straitjacket
Shut your mouth
No, you can’t have it

Paper airplanes
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow

[Chorus]
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I’ve done
I lie awake in my great escape

I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
‘Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it’s me
I’m just crazy
Maybe I like that I’m not alright

All messed up
And slightly twisted
Am I sick or am I gifted

Paper airplanes
Open window
Here today
And gone tomorrow

[Chorus]
I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I’ve done
I lie awake in my great escape

I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
‘Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it’s me
I’m just crazy
Maybe I like that I’m not alright

Woh
I don’t care if you apologize
I can’t lie
Woh
I can’t lie

I like to stare at the sun
And think about what I’ve done
I lie awake in my great escape

I like crossing the line
And slowly losing my mind
Are you ok
‘Cuz I feel fine
Maybe it’s me
I’m just crazy
Maybe I like that I’m not alright
Maybe I like that I’m not alright

Shinedown – I’ll Follow You

[Verse 1:]
If I could find assurance to leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
And all my doubt is a staircase for you
Opened out of this space
The first step is the one you believe in
The second one might be profound.

[Chorus:]
I’ll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don’t worry I’ll keep you warm.
I’ll follow you down while we’re passing through space
I don’t care if we fall from grace
I’ll follow you down

[Verse 2:]
You can have the money and the world
The angels and the pearls
Even trademark the color blue
Just like the tower we never built
In the shadow of all the guilt
When the other hand was pointed at you
Yeah the first step is the one you believe in
The second one might be profound.

[Chorus:]
I’ll follow you down, through the eye of the storm
Don’t worry I’ll keep you warm.
I’ll follow you down, while we’re passing through space
I don’t care if we fall from grace
I’ll follow you down to where forever lies
Without a doubt I’m on your side
There’s nowhere else that I would rather be
I’m not about to compromise, give you up to say goodbye
I’ll guide you through the deep I’ll keep you close to me!

[Chorus]
I’ll follow you down through the eye of the storm
Don’t worry I’ll keep you warm.
I’ll follow you down while we’re passing through space
I don’t care if we fall from grace
I’ll follow you..

If I could find assurance to leave you behind
I know my better half would fade
I’ll follow you down.

Shinedown – For My Sake

[Verse 1:]
I remember like yesterday
You had a dream in your eyes and a smile on your face
And I’m missing those days again yeah I’m missing those days again
And I forgot what really got in the way
Maybe the sun that wouldn’t shine should be taking the blame
Cause its raining on me again yeah its raining on me again

[Bridge:]
A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake please..

[Chorus:]
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough’s enough.
Let’s be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So am taking you on, am calling you out.
There’s nothing left for us here now.
Let’s be honest, I promise, I’m never lookin’ back for my sake.
For my sake.

[Verse 2:]
Tell me something that’s poetic at best
Make me believe there was a time that you weren’t like the rest
And I’ll never ask you again, and I’ll never ask you again
For all the moments and the memories
No one could ever say we never had a history
But I’m leaving that all behind
And there is nothing gonna change my mind

[Bridge:]
A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake please..

[Chorus:]
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough’s enough.
Let’s be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So am taking you on, am calling you out.
There’s nothing left for us here now.
Let’s be honest, I promise, I’m never lookin’ back for my sake.
For my sake.

[Bridge:]
A paradox
The key you dropped
A manifest
For what you lost, was me
For my sake please..
Stop slowing me down
Stop holding me up
Stop slowing me down
Enough’s enough

[Chorus:]
Stop slowing me down, stop holding me up
Quit making a scene, enough’s enough.
Let’s be honest, your promise, was never meant to last
So am taking you on, am calling you out.
There’s nothing left for us here now.
Let’s be honest, I promise, I’m never lookin’ back for my sake.
I’m never lookin’ back, for my sake. [x3]

Shinedown – Bully

It’s 8 AM, this Hell I’m in
Seems I’ve crossed the line again
For being nothing more than who I am
So break my bones and throw your stones
We all know that life ain’t fair
But there is more of us we’re everywhere

We don’t have to take this, back against the wall
We don’t have to take this, we can end it all

All you’ll ever be is a fading memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope, so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don’t hurt, can you hear me? (can you hear me?)
No one’s gonna cry on the very day you die, you’re a bully

Think it through, you can’t undo
Whenever I see black and blue
I feel the past, I share the bruise
With everyone who’s come and gone
My head is clear, my voice is strong, now I’m right here to right the wrong

We don’t have to take this, back against the wall
We don’t have to take this, we can end it all

All you’ll ever be is a fading memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope, so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don’t hurt, can you hear me? (can you hear me?)
No one’s gonna cry on the very day you die, you’re a bully

It’s 8 AM, the Hell I’m in
Your voice is strong, now right the wrong!

All you’ll ever be is a fading memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope, so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don’t hurt, can you hear me? (can you hear me?)
No one’s gonna cry on the very day you die, you’re a bully

All you’ll ever be is a fading memory of a bully
Make another joke while they hang another rope, so lonely
Push them to the dirt till the words don’t hurt, can you hear me?
No one’s gonna cry on the very day you die, you’re a bully

(We don’t have to take this, back against the wall
We don’t have to take this, we can end it all)
