Lessons In Love lyrics - Cartel

Oh, I would love to make you mine
But that’s not the sign you’re giving me
Go ahead, count me confused.

See I just never know the difference
In between you and what you want
Oh I am just so unenthused

Well, I can get over you right now
But I keep leaving something out
I wanted just another lesson in love
So, let me down, slow

Oh, I am never at a loss
But how could you say you love me?
When those words are overused

But you just go and leave me hanging
Much like you always used to do
Oh, I could use that point of view

Well, I can get over you right now
But I keep leaving something out
I wanted just another lesson in love
So let me down

I can get over you right now
But you just won’t sell me out
I wanted just another lesson in love
So let me down

With your best so it hurts
You keep tripping over your words
And you only get so far
What you say, it doesn’t matter
It’s a lie, so don’t bother
But you have to let me know

I can get over you right now
But I keep leaving something out
I wanted just another lesson in love
So let me down

I can get over you right now
But I keep leaving something out
I wanted just another lesson in love
So let me down slow

American Dreams lyrics - Cartel

Lately I’ve felt so pathetic that it burns
I can’t sweat it cause I know I’m gonna work this out
Baby just sit back and forget about the world
And how they always doubt that we can make it worth our while

I hear all the words you never say
And you can always walk away
Cause I can see it in your vacant smile

We got caught up in American
Holding onto hope there and back again
Taking back what’s lost
Just to find it all buried in American dreams

Oh dream dream dream
Maybe we can start a scene or just screw all day
We can run away, yes together, find a home
Better weather, oh
We can just lay here for a while

We got caught up in American
Holding onto hope there and back again
Taking back what’s lost
Just to find it all buried underneath this weight
I’m starting to believe this is what you hate
And nothing’s gonna work out the way it seems
But you’ll always be my American dream dream dream…

Maybe we can start a scene or just screw all day

We got caught up in American
Holding onto hope there and back again
Taking back what’s lost
Just to find it all buried in American dreams

We got caught up in American
And American dreams
Taking back what’s lost
Just to find it all buried in American dreams

Conduit lyrics - Cartel

This started back at the beginning
Where innocence was born
To hold it back seems only fitting
I am conscious of the storm
That's brewing inside
Yeah, it's coming in life
No where to run
No where to hide

Finally, at last
Rising from the depths
It's the only hope you have
And I hope you feel it now

Can you feel it yet?
Oh, ho, oh
This hearts still beating here
It's always on

Feel the pulse, feel the beat inside
Turn it up, turn up until its done
Feed the urge, feed the need
To insatiable degrees
A conduit
Vibrating circuit
Your energy, your chemistry
Is enough for both of us to see

Finally, at last
Rising from the depths
It's the only hope you have
And I hope you feel it now

Can you feel it yet?
Oh, ho, oh
This hearts still beating here
It's always on
Don't call it destiny
That's so defeating
This electricity
Flows through us all

It reverberates within us all

Can you feel it yet?
Oh, ho, oh
This hearts still beating here
It's always on
Don't call it destiny
That's so defeating
This electricity
Flows through us all

In Stereo lyrics - Cartel

I wrote a song so sing along
(You gotta push play to start)
And when it ends, play it again
(Make sure you know it by heart)
Call and repeat, don't miss a beat
(I know it sounds absurd)
It's nothing new, nothing to do
(That you haven't)

All the words, I've been saying
All the songs, I've been playing
So say to me "Just keep dancing."
All they want is energy

Hey you are a star
You're gonna make it
Hey you will go far
You'll get your break, kid
They know who you are
No matter where you go
Watch you'll melt the charts
And that's your stereo

Don't get me wrong, it's just a song
(However do I see)
When all your best is to the test
(Just keep living the dream)
This is for real, a record deal
(I'm trading money for art)
I had a plan to start a band
(But that was falling)

A part of me can't let go and
I don't see anything but
Despairity making me crazy
It's now or never, more than ever

Hey you are a star
You're gonna make it
Hey you will go far
You'll get your break, kid
They know who you are
No matter where you go
Watch you'll melt the charts
And that's your stereo

I believe
In what I can see
Just one more time
Just one more song
To keep it alive

Hey you are a star
You're gonna make it
Hey you will go far
You'll get your break, kid
They know who you are
No matter where you go
Watch you'll melt the charts
And that's your stereo

Hey you are a star
You're gonna make it
Hey you will go far
You'll get your break, kid
They know who you are
No matter where you go
Watch you'll melt the charts
And that's your stereo

You'll get your break kid
Catch me in stereo

Something To Believe lyrics - cartel

She says I've seen it all
But nothing spoken
Pre-tense begins to fall
And words are broken

I know it's just better this way
I'll do my best but
I don't want to end up the same
As all the rest

We just wanna believe in something
To make them feel at home
We wanna believe in something
So they feel less alone
Will you be my answer now to everything?
Be my answer now to everything

She says we had it all
But now it's missing
Progress slowed to a crawl
But now we're listening

Some say it's just better this way
Just do your best but
I don't want to end up the same
Cause they

We just wanna believe in something
To make them feel at home
We wanna believe in something
So they feel less alone
Will you be my answer now to everything?
So I feel less alone

We'll bring them down
We'll bring these walls to the ground
Without a sound, we'll bring them down

Believe in something
So they feel less alone

We just wanna believe in something
To make them feel at home
We wanna believe in something
So they feel less alone
Will you be my answer now to everything?
So I feel less alone

So I feel less alone

Let's Go lyrics - cartel

Let me reintroduce myself
As a man with a cause
I’ve had a lot of time to think
And look at who we are
And I’ve got nothing left to say
But we’ve got to carry on
And I’ve got so much left to do
But I’ll start with this song

Why do they lie?
Why can’t you see?
Get up everybody
Stand up with me

Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Tell ‘em we’re coming
Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Stand up with me!
Let’s Go!
Take the world with me

You’ve got something on your mind
But you get in your way
Don’t tell us tomorrow
You better buy change today
All we have is who we are
And all we know is pretending
You gotta think of something real
Save a life worth spending

Why do they lie?
Why can’t you see?
Get up everybody
Stand up with me

Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Tell ‘em we’re coming
Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Stand up with me!
Let’s Go!
Take the world with me

So if you’ve got a torch to carry
Hold it high!
Take the world with me
Let it burn, let it burn, let it light up the sky!

Stand up! Yeah, let’s go
Stand up! You’ve gotta let them know
Stand up! You’ve gotta make them see
Get up people! Stand up with me!

Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Tell ‘em we’re coming!
Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! So I’ll sing…
Let’s Go! Everybody!
Let’s Go! Tell ‘em we’re coming!
Let’s Go! Everybody!
C’mon everybody, stand up with me!
So let’s go! Take the world with me!
Let’s go! Let’s go!

The Perfect Mistake lyrics - Cartel

[Verse 1:]
Wake me up, I’ve been dreaming
It feels just like any other day-
I sit you down, here goes nothing.
And you’re not gonna like what I say
Get out, oh just get out.

[Chorus:]
“Get Up, Get Out”
That’s what she said, “You drive me crazy.”
“I can’t believe that’s what you did.”
“And don’t call me baby.”
And I know I’m wrong, I knew all along that you’d find out,
I’m the perfect mistake, I’m hoping you’ll make right now.

[Verse 2:]
Wake me up, I’ve been dreaming,
Because I haven’t heard from you in days.
Hazy now, this fog just follows me around,
And it’s only you that burns it away.
So get out, oh just get out.

[Chorus:]
“Get Up, Get Out”
That’s what she said, “You drive me crazy.”
“I can’t believe that’s what you did.”
“And don’t call me baby.”
And I know I’m wrong, I knew all along that you’d find out,
I’m the perfect mistake, I’m hoping you’ll make right now.

[Bridge:]
I see your face, every time I close my eyes,
Its getting worse you say, it comes as no surprise.

Why am I hell bent on losing, when I can’t get you out of my head?

[Chorus:]
“Get Up, Get Out”
That’s what she said, “You drive me crazy.”
“I can’t believe that’s what you did.”
“And don’t call me baby.”
And I know I’m wrong, I knew all along that you’d find out,
I’m the perfect mistake, I’m hoping you’ll make right now.

Oh I’m the perfect mistake, I’m hoping you’ll make right now-
Oh you’ll make right now.

Faster Ride lyrics - cartel

A green light, unkind
No where to go on a one track mind
It's a break down at the wrong time
I'm catching up but I'm still behind

We did it right, we did it right for some time
But I looked up and you were gone
We did it right, we did it right for some time
I couldn't give you what you want

Cause you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
Get it, get it, go until you get it right
And I hope you find it
Cause you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
But you just got to kiss me one more time
So just kiss me goodbye

A red light, wrong way
I'm just a game that you like to play
It's a hot start to your cold ways
You got bored then you walked away

You did it right, you did it right for some time
But I looked up and you were gone
You did it right, you did it right for some time
I couldn't give you what you want

Cause you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
Get it, get it, go until you get it right
And I hope you find it
Cause you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
But you just got to kiss me one more time
So just kiss me goodbye

So now you're moving on (you're moving on)
With no regrets (with no regrets)
But I'm still hanging on (still hanging on)
To every word you said (to every word you said)

But you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
Get it, get it, go until you get it right
But you'll never find it, no

Cause you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
Get it, get it, go until you get it right
And I hope you find it
Cause you just want to take a faster ride
Lower lows, higher highs
But you just got to kiss me one more time
Just kiss me goodbye

So just kiss me goodbye

Deep South lyrics - Cartel

I was born in the south
Given to a town raised on hand to mouth
Born on the same day as the sun
Holding in the Earth's seed one by one

I died in the cold, waiting to rot
Frozen like stone, all is for naught
All that I am is churning inside
All that I am is screaming...

Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Oh yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south

I feel it in my skin
Coming undone again and again
Torn at the seam my heart had sown
Holding back the tears shed on my own

If dying is bold, that courage I've got
I could grow old, but I forgot
All that I am is churning inside
The voice in my head is screaming...

Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Oh yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south

I was born in the south
Given to a town raised on hand to mouth
Born on the same day as the sun
Counting every heart beat one by one

Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Oh yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south

Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south
Go and get my bones
Bring 'em to the deep south
Yeah somewhere they can thaw out
Here in the deep south

Only You lyrics - cartel

I hear you calling out my name
All of the elements will fade
Never before has love looked safe
Never again will it look the same
But then we fall back now to this empty house
There the wars will rage
And if you leave me now in this empty house
Baby it's okay
Oh and its only you yeah its only you
Its only you and me
Oh and its only you yeah its only you
It's only you and me yeah
And I feel you crawling out my veins
Leaving the walls inside with flames
Burning the emptiness I've saved
Until lonely you remain
But then my lungs collapse and you pull me out
Forever I've been changed
Honey you can take me now til it all runs out
Baby it's okay
Oh but theres only you yeah its only you
It's only you i see
Girl if its only you yeah its only you
Its only you and me yeah
Can you feel it now
I've weighed it all out
Here and now my world turns inside out
And I swear I
I hear you calling
I hear you calling out my name
Only you yeah its only you
It's only you I see
Girl if its only you yeah its only you
It's only you and me yeah
It's only you yeah its only you
It's only you and me

It Still Remains lyrics - Cartel

It still remains
And I can't pretend it's gone
Count on me, to remember who you are
It still remains
And what if you were wrong?
I shouldn't let, I shouldn't let you get too far

What do I, I have to lose?
And what do I, I have to do?

Is there any other way
To stop thinking 'bout
Any of the days
We had it figured out?
I don't want to lose you
After all we've been through
Is there nothing I can say
To turn you around?
Maybe that's the way
To stop thinking 'bout all those yesterdays
That still remain

It's killing me
Wondering where you are
You don't call
But your voice won't go away
It still remains
I'm broken but I'm bent
On finding you, and hoping that you'll stay

What do I, I have to lose?
And what do I, I have to do?

Is there any other way
To stop thinking 'bout
Any of the days
We had it figured out?
I don't want to lose you
After all we've been through
Is there nothing I can say
To turn you around?
Maybe that's the way
To stop thinking 'bout all those yesterdays
That still remain?

Okay it doesn't matter
Cause I'm still yours
Give it time to find a pattern
We will find a cure in this design

Is there any other way
To stop thinking 'bout
Any of the days
We had it figured out?
I don't want to lose you now...

Is there any other way
To stop thinking 'bout
Any of the days
We had it figured out?
I don't want to lose you
After all we've been through
Is there nothing I can say
To turn you around?
Maybe that's the way
To stop thinking 'bout all those yesterdays
That still remain
That still remain

27 Steps lyrics - cartel

And I can't unwind with you hanging 'round
And I feel just like a vine
Oh if you have to leave me here
Then I invite it
Cause I've been twisted in your words
I'm better off left alone

Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps to you're front door
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
I can't stand your face anymore
Should've figured out then what you lose
But it's too late to fix what's broken
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps and I can't...

...believe I was so naive
And my heart is racing
I can barely breathe
Oh if you have to take it here
Then I've decided
That I've been stepping in your words
I should've seen it all along

Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps to you're front door
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
I can't stand your face anymore
Should've figured out then what you lose
But it's too late to fix what's broken
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps and I'm gone

Are you with me?
Are you with me?
27 steps to you're front door
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
I can't stand your face anymore
Should've figured out then what you lose
But it's too late to fix what's broken
Hey are you with me?
Hey are you with me?
27 steps...
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
27 steps to you're front door
Are you with me?
Are you with me?
27 steps and I'm gone

See Me Now lyrics - Cartel

And it's the same foregone conclusion
All the things hurt when I was young
It's the sample of delusion
Spit from everybody's tongue

And I don't know how to be another
Don't know how to be "the one"
Oh I have only just discovered who I am and where I'm coming from

If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out

And we can talk about solutions
Till we're red (or blue) in the face
And we can stare at our illusions
And just smile till the mirror breaks

And I don't know how to be another
Don't know how to be "the one"
Oh I have only just discovered who I am and what I have become

If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out

There's no accounting taste when you uncover what I see
And don't you call it a waste when it's only your mistake

If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out

If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out

If you could see me now
There'd be no purpose left to try and figure out
If you could see me now
You would be the last one in or out

Typical lyrics - cartel

I guess I gotta crawl before I can walk
I guess I gotta grow before we can talk
And I have the upper hand
I'm good at letting go but I'm getting better
You're never gonna know but you'll get a letter
I hope you understand

I never wanted it to go this far
Never thought it would be so hard
I never thought i would lose myself
But now I'm left with nothing else

Cause you're so typical
You're so damn typical
You're so typical
You're so damn typical

I guess you gotta lose before you can listen
I guess you gotta choose to see what you're missing
I am the better man
I'm good at letting go but I'm getting better
You're never gonna know but you'll get a letter
I hope you understand

I never wanted it to go this far
Never thought it would be so hard
I never thought i would lose myself
But now i'm left with nothing else

Cause you're so typical
You're so damn typical
You're so typical
You're so damn typical
You're predictable, cynical
I see it in your eyes
You're so typical
You're so damn typical

And I see what this does to you
I'm holding back like I've got something left to prove
You're so cliche
I can see it in your face
See it in myself
The rest is up to you

Cause you're so typical
You're so damn typical

Cause you're so typical
You're so damn typical
You're so typical
You're so damn typical
You're predictable, cynical
I see it in your eyes
You're so typical
You're so damn typical
You're so typical
You're so damn typical

Conventional Friend lyrics - Cartel

I was blind till I opened up my eyes to see
And all this time I never noticed
All you ever had was hidden motives
You're just a curse
Another lie, another waste of my time

Until you go away, go away then
You only see me inside of this skin
Conventional friend, you've taken the best
You've taken the best and thrown it away

I'm obliged to forget you after all is said (and done)
And all this time I tried to fix you
Was just another way to avoid the issue
You're just a ruse
Another guise, another waste of my time

Until you go away, go away then
You only see me inside of this skin
Conventional friend, you've taken the best
You've taken the best and thrown it away

And no, no I won't get over this (it's a little too late)
I'm going insane (you gotta get, no, no I gotta get away)
Oh this is gonna fuck with my head
And I'll be looking for it in the end

Until you go away, go away then
You only see me inside of this skin
Conventional friend, you've taken the best
You've taken the best and thrown it away

Until you go away, go away then
You only see me inside of this skin
Conventional friend, you've taken the best
You've taken the best and thrown it away

Retrograde lyrics - Cartel

I'm out of faith
I'm in retrograde
A dizzy pattern in a cheap parade
And I'm losing touch but I'm I'm not ashamed
Of what I say or how nice I play
I'm a trojan horse made of paper mache,
What has been ever comes 'round again

And I'm under arrest
(I'm under a arrest)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
But I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess

I'm out of place
I'm a different state
A little scattered by a bitter fate
And I'm losing touch but I'm, I'm not afraid
I'll be okay just in a different way
I have no remorse I have no more shame
Oh nothing ever ends before it begins

And I'm under arrest
(I'm under arrest)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
But I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess

Well I'll be going 'round and 'round this cycle won't slow down
I'm looking for the centre of this life I've found
What has been ever comes 'round again

And I'm under arrest
(I'm under arrest)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
But I've done my best
An undecided heart makes such a mess

And I'm under arrest
(I'm under arrest)
I'm shutting down
I'm unimpressed
(I'm not impressed)
I've done my best
(I've done my best)
An undecided heart makes such a mess

The Best lyrics - Cartel

on a perfect day
somewhat like today
we will find each other there
we will find each other there
and somewhat like the month we first met
we can't forget the way i loved you
but i can't pretend how far we've gone
and we can not mend what damage has been done
no, we can not mend what damage is done now
but then we shall come home and
become the best ones we could have been
oh the best we could have been
oh the best we could have been, now

Tonight lyrics - Cartel

hey, oh this is another one honey
but it's not the same you say
"how could i ask you?"

give me all, give me all
i could ever ask of you
and it's more than i can stand

so maybe tonight
say it for the first time
and it shows, yeah it shows
just give me tonight

Lose It lyrics - Cartel

Well it's that time
It's that time again
Well it's all coming back around
There she sees me
Oh my god, this is who I've been
And I'm branding each day

Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
(Go, go)
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all

Immediately we find out then
That I can be blamed for this
Well then you just figured out today
And you're so sweet, you say..
Go now and get your own life and live it your way
And I hear you say..

Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
(Go, go)
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it
Go on and lose it all

Hey
Hey hey
Whoaaaa
Hey, hey, hey
Well and if we find another then
We will get ours
And if we find another then
We will get ours

She's picking up her clothes
She's off and she's running
She says to me
'Go on and lose it'
I think she means well but
Man I can't tell as she says to me
'Go on and lose it all'
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it all
Go on and lose it all

No Subject (Come With Me) lyrics - Cartel

is it me or is it all of us?
and are we dull or glorious?
am i on the way down
or is this the same thing twice?
oh, this feels so nice

Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby it's better when you...
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby it's better this way

oh, baby, it's better this way

well, is this real, is this insanity?
or is fate or is it clarity?
am i on the way down
or is this the same thing twice?
oh, this feels so nice

Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby it's better when you...
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby it's better this way

we can say this and even out
we're waiting on a ride home
whoa if this could make me feel at home,
maybe we can go there, we go there?

Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby it's better when you...
Come with me, maybe we'll get away
Come and see, baby it's better this way
It's better this way

This Is Who We Are lyrics - Cartel

Patience, child it will find you
Your deepest dreams will guide you
the moment that you're born
all night my fear inside will come through
haunting right behind you
don't let it get that far

Somehow
breathe a little deeper now
cause this is who we are
when we look into their eyes
don't fly so high
so high little bird
you'll get your wings clipped
we'll pick it up, pick it up
now you've learned

Searching
for moment that defines you
your deepest dreams remind you
get out before you're gone
Now that all you hear is what surrounds you
push it out, give it out
from around you
never stop and you will find it all

Somehow
breathe a little deeper now
cause this is who we are
when we look into their eyes
don't fly so high
so high little bird
you'll get your wings clipped
we'll pick it up, pick it up
now you've learned

So we decide...
We decided
We decide this now
So find out how we can survive
How we can survive
If we learn how to live our lives
If we learn how to live...

Somehow
breathe a little deeper now
cause this is who we are
when we look into their eyes
don't fly so high
so high little bird
you'll get your wings clipped
pick it up, pick it up
now you've learned

I Will Hide Myself Away/I Will Follow lyrics - Cartel

[I Will Hide Myself Away]

Smooth like a rolling crystal ball
Heading for a sight line
Straight towards a fall
No one will get through
No one will get through at all

The night sky illuminates it all
Like a distant fire fight
All is orchestral
Time is coming soon
Just to pass by you
By you

And I will hide myself away
Save all of these people for another day
And I will hide myself away
Just to spite them all for another day

The moon comes down on me again
Soon this mumbling train now slowly will begin
Giving me this pain
This paralyzing pain again

The night sky illuminates it all
Like a distant fire fight
All is orchestral
Time is coming soon
Just to pass by you
Pass by you

And I will hide myself away
Save all of these people for another day
And I will hide myself away
Just to spite them all for another day

Smooth like a rolling crystal ball
Heading for a sight line
Straight towards a fall
No one will get through
No one will get through at all

And I will hide myself away
Save all of these people for another day
And I will hide myself away
Just to spite them all for another day

And I will hide myself away
much to the chagrin of everyone this day
And I am not much a friend this way
No, I'm not fit to wear that hat today

[I Will Follow]

Take the best
the best is all that I can give
and find a way
so again I fall
to me it means nothing at all
but I rise again
fear the pain
it's pretty, but it's oh so vain

And it shapes me
swear I'll find truth
in the best
the fall of time
even if I die tonight

I will follow
I made my mind tonight
I will follow
I'll make this bath the last
good thing I died
and I, I'll be gone.

It's nothing else
carry over what you can
find a place
that I just thought of what you said (?)
it's much too soon
for all of them but not for you
and it shapes me
swear I'll find truth
in the best
the fall of time
even if I die

Tonight I will follow
I made my mind tonight
I will follow
I'll make this bath at last
good thing I died
and I
I'll be gone.

Wasted lyrics - Cartel

It's 2:45, the baby takes his first breath
The mother never knew he only had a few left and
The father gets a call in the middle of the night
His breath gets short and his chest gets tight

But he's 16, and he's driving too fast
Takes a turn to the left, it would be his last
Nobody knows what happens if he turns to the right
Nobody in the car would've died that night

But he's 32 and invincible.
The cancer he had it was visceral
He never saw it coming...thought he had his whole life
Sick in the morning and he died in the night.

We're all so...
We're on the run.
We're all, we're all
We're wasted, no no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no no
We're all wasted

7 years old, got his bat in his hand
He’s looking for his father and he doesn't understand
'Cause dad's too busy, got some deals on the way
His son sits alone as the children play

And he's 18 he couldn't wait to move out
His parents wonder what all the rush is about
They never bothered with his dreams
Only thinking of theirs.
Wonders why he doesn't call and why he doesn't care

But he's 32 and invincible
With everything he is based on principle
He never had a truly happy moment in his life
He didn't want the kids and he didn't want his wife.

We're wasted, no no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
We're all wasted
We're all wasted, no no
We're all wasted

23 now got his life in his hands
He's looking all around and he doesn't understand
'Cause life's too busy, things get in the way
We all feel alone every single day

And I'm 18 couldn't wait to move out
It's been 5 years and now I'm starting to doubt...
Whether all my dreams are just aimless stares
Looking off to someplace that isn’t there

When I'm 32 will I be miserable?
With everything around based on principle
Will I have a clue, oh wouldn't it be nice
to never be alone in this wasted life.

We're wasted, no no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted, no no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
We're all wasted
We're all wasted, no no
We're all wasted.

The Fortunate lyrics - Cartel

Hey Hey don't pay no mind,
We are the second, you're minutes behind
So you say, "yeah I'm alright"
You are the fortunate all the time
Yeah, you are the fortunate...

I've been looking for a way out
Something that isn't so cruel
Well I'm a little tired, you see
Complacent and miserable

I think you're missing out
I think you're dumbing it down
You're past the point of owning up to your words,
There's no getting it by us now
So if it's OK by you...

Hey Hey don't pay no mind,
We are the second, you're minutes behind
So you say, "Yeah I'm alright"
You are the fortunate all the time

So full of misadventure
and feelings insecure
It's so easy push the pin, fake the tense
And give us nothing more
And if it's OK by you,

Hey Hey don't pay no mind,
We are the second, you're minutes behind
So you say, "Yeah I'm alright"
You are the fortunate all the time

And if it's the one thing
That I've been sure of,
Well it's OK, I know you've got the time...
If it's all one and the same thing
Then I've been waiting for the fallout, we're history
But it's gone on for so long, for so long
That I don't think you'll ever be the same

Hey Hey don't pay no mind,
We are the second, you're minutes behind
So you say, "Yeah I'm alright"
You are the fortunate all the time

Hey Hey don't pay no mind,
We are the second, you're minutes behind
So you say, "Yeah I'm alright"
You are the fortunate all the time

Hey Hey (don't pay no mind)
Heyo heyyy (we are the second, you're minutes behind)
Heyo heyo heyyyo (So you say, "Yeah I'm alright")
Heyo Heyoooo Heyooo (You are the fortunate all the time)

Georgia lyrics - Cartel

There’s something about the Georgia summer afternoons
When the sun goes down, and the air gets cool
And it's home to me, it's, home to me

And I've been missing that place too much it seems
Gave up any home just to find my dreams
And it's weighing on me, it's, weighing on me

Hey now, it's weighing on me

But I'm only just one second short of calling this my aim
If I gave you something different, would you call it the same?
But I'm only just one person, who am I to disagree?
If I gave you simple reasons, would you still be questioning me?

I climbed a mountain simply looking for advice
All I found were children playing innocent and nice
And everyone was peaceful, and everyone polite
No one to whisper dreams, once thought to be a part of life

But I’m only just one second short of calling this my aim
If I gave you something different, would you call it the same?
But I’m only just one person, who am I to disagree?
If I gave you simple reasons, would you still be questioning me?

I found a poor man once, he was the age of 53
He spoke about the government, and the thought of being free
What good does us reason, if we fail to see?
What good does us freedom, if we fail to be free?

If You Do, If You Don't lyrics - Cartel

Let's get out
Let's get out of here
I'll go it alone if I have to, but I need you there
And I'm honest with nobody else
Whether or not I make it there is will itself
And I'm honest with only myself
How I can't afford to lose you now, not in this hell
But I'll stay with you

I'm a mess, a total wreck
A poor excuse without you near to keep me in check
So take me out, and take me anywhere
I'm out of touch with everything and I don't care
So I must be out of my mind
And all that I have to give to you is all my time
So I'll stay with you

We sing over and over
And baby I'm a waste of time

Lonely One lyrics - Cartel

And I've been thinking 'bout it all that time
Going over in my head
And it's all useless
Well, it's been years since I've seen home
There'll be plenty time when I'm dead
And it's all useless

There's a lot swimming 'round
Swimming 'round in my head
And it's all such a mess
There's a lot to be done
Now I lay me down to become
And it's all such a mess

So give up - this ain't what you dream of
We'll take it slow
And even if you're never home
Even if so

There's a lot swimming 'round
Swimming 'round in my head
And it's all such a mess
There's a lot to be done
Now I lay me down to become
A simple man and a mess

So give up - this ain't what you dream of
We'll take it slow
And even if you're never home
Even if so
I'll give up something else
And maybe you won't see
So give up - you're not the only one, son
But you're the lonely one

Son, it wasn't personal
Son, it wasn't personal
But I tried
Oh, I tried [x4]

So give up - this and what you dream of
We'll take it slow
And even if you're never home
Even if so
I'll give up something else
And maybe you won't see
So give up - you're not the only one, son
But you're the lonely one
Oh, you're the lonely one
(It's personal)
You are the lonely one
(So listen up)
You are the lonely one
(It's personal)
Yeah, you're the lonely one
(It's personal)

If I Were To Write This Song.../Get Through This lyrics - Cartel

[If I Were To Write This Song]

Ring the verse, let it in, said softly begin
If it feels like the first time, don't let it end
Cause it wanders by like something that could have been

If i were to write the song that could penetrate your ears
Would it calm your trembling soul?
Would it ease your every fear?

Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
And you shiver at the sight...
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight

Could one song solve all our problems?
Could it have the strength to heal?
Or would it cripple and destroy
And leave nothing unrevealed?

Might it uproot every lie
And force us all to cower
Underneath it's tremendous weight
In the wake of all its power

Can we go back to the place where we all used to see through
Everything blinding us, now you don't understand anything anymore
And you shiver at the sight...
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight

Oh, did you know, did you know
Did you know better?
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better?
Don't you know, don't you know
Don't you know better?
Don't you know that

You shiver at the sight...
You're afraid to show that you're only so human tonight

If I were to write the song
That could somehow change the world...
Would it be a calm surrender
Or a fight to the death?
Would it give something to live for
Would we give our final breath?
Would it be a roaring opera
Or as sweet as a child's kiss?
Would it sound like all the others
Or would it sound something like this...?

[Get Through This]

I feel the pastures growing greener
I feel the waves
They come, they come all over me
I feel the pastures growing greener
I feel the waves
They're coming over me
And everything's all right
And everything's all right

I hear the others wondering where I've been
I hear my mother
She's worried sick
And then I hear the others wondering where I've been
I hear my mother
She's worried sick
And then she weathers me and holds me to my own
She mothers me and keeps me hanging on

But I'll get through this
Will you?
But I'll get through this
Will you?
But I'll get through this
Will you?
I'll get through this

In the Southern, the air will keep you warm
In the Western, the air is as dry as a bone
In the Southern, the air will keep you warm
In the Western, the air is as dry as a bone
And I've been wondering about that change
And I, I, and I've been wondering about that change

But I'll get through this
Will you?
But I'll get through this
Will you?
But I'll get through this
Will you?
And I'll get through this

Wasted (Remix By Wyclef Jean) lyrics - Cartel

Cartel's so wasted, yeah
Wyclef's so wasted, yeah
It's the way the world is going on, man
We might not make it to see the future

It's 2:45
The baby takes his first breath
The mother never knew he only had a few left
And the father gets a call in the middle of the night
His breath gets short and his chest gets tight

But he's sixteen and he's driving too fast
Takes a turn to the left
It would be his last
Nobody knows what happens if he turns to the right
Nobody in the car would have died that night

But he's thirty-two and invincible
The cancer he had, it was visceral
He never saw it coming
Thought he had his whole life
Sick in the morning and he died in the night

We're wasted
No, no, no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
No, no
We're all wasted

Seven years old
Got his bat in his hand
He's looking for his father
And he doesn't understand
Cause dad's too busy
Got some deals on the way
His son sits alone as the children play

And he's eighteen
He couldn't wait to move out
His parents wonder what all the rush is about

We're wasted
No, no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
We're all wasted
We're all wasted
No, no
We're all wasted

Manhattan: Twin Towers
Nuclear: North Korea
Bloodshed in Iraq
Cartel and 'Clef screamin'
"Send the troops back!"
Turn the microphone up
You gotta hear the feedback
No more war
Too many wasted

Twenty-three now
Got his life in his hands
He's looking all around
And he doesn't understand
Cause life's too busy
Things get in the way
We all feel alone every single day

And I'm eighteen
I couldn't wait to move out
It's been five years
And now I'm starting to doubt
Whether all my dreams are just aimless stares
Looking off to some place that isn't there

When I'm thirty-two, will I be miserable
With everything around based on principle?
Will I have a clue?
Wouldn't it be nice
To never be alone in this wasted life?

We're wasted
No, no, no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
No, no
We're all wasted
We're wasted
We're all wasted
We're all wasted
No, no
We're all wasted

Get Away lyrics - Cartel

Stop and turn,
Look away right now
You never will find a safer thing,
if you turn around

[Pre-Chorus]
If anybody wants to see you now,
they'll have to get through me
Cause everybody burns for something special,
somehow they might see and Oh.

[Chorus]
Get, Get, Get away from me.
You don't know what I'm capable of.
Just you wait and see.
And Baby, Baby, Baby, I'm ashamed.
Well I can do some terrible things
So nows your time to leave.

Twist and turn.
Please don't let me in it's not a lie.
We think that it's understood
If you should leave me now.

[Pre-Chorus]
If anybody wants to see you now,
they'll have to get through me
Cause everybody burns for something special,
somehow they might see and Oh.

[Chorus]
Get, Get, Get away from me.
You don't know what I'm capable of.
Just you wait and see.
And Baby, Baby, Baby, I'm ashamed.
Well I can do some terrible things
So nows your time to leave.

[Chorus]
Get, Get, Get away from me.
You don't know what I'm capable of.
Just you wait and see.
And Baby, Baby, Baby, I'm ashamed.
Well I can do some terrible things
So nows your time to leave.

Oh. Ohhhhhh Whoa Ohhhhh. Ohhhhhh Whoa Ohhhhh

Ooooh.

Say Anything (Else) lyrics - Cartel

And baby don't follow their lead
'cause you'll never know
Just how the story ends, or how the story goes
And you are so confused
And baby it's just like you
To say anything else

Whenever you get this way
Just getting up for the let down,
Mmm here they come, and yes, they're here to stay
Just getting up for the let down

Oh I'm here to say that you're the star you wanna be
Just open up and look inside and you will see, yeah

Someday you'll sing it out loud
One day this will make you proud
Whoa oh, "I know..."
Whoa oh.

And baby don't follow their lead
'cause you never know
Just how the story ends, or how the story goes
And you are so confused,
And baby it's just like you
To say anything else

It's time for you to understand
Stop getting up for the let down
Oh, who you are is not up to them
Stop getting up for the let down

And I'm here to say that you're the star you wanna be
Just open up and look inside you will see

Someday you'll sing it out loud
One day this will make you proud
Whoa oh, "I know..."
Whoa oh.

Someday you'll sing it out loud
One day this will make you proud
Whoa oh, "I know..."
"I know..." is never good enough

So say what you want
(You know I'm wasting all my time)
You've gotta mean it when you say what you want
(You're only safe when you're alone)
And everybody's on your mind
Saying anything to get you by

And so to get what you want
(You know I'm wasting all my time)
You've gotta mean it when you say what you want
(You're only safe when you're alone)
You're wasting everybody's time
You're saying anything that gets you by

It's not, not, not gonna get you,
Gonna get you by

Someday you'll sing it out loud
One day this will make you proud
Whoa oh, "I know..."
"I know..." is never good enough

Someday you'll sing it out loud
One day this will make you proud
Whoa oh, "I know..."
Whoa oh,
Whoa oh, "I know..."
"I know..." is never good enough

Honestly lyrics - Cartel

Please don't mind what I'm trying to say 'cause I'm, I'm being honest
When I tell you that you
You're part of the reason I'm so set on the rest of my life
Being a part of you
You tell me what you think about being open,
About being honest with yourself

'Cause things will never be the same.

So I guess I'll see you, I'll see you around
I'm spinning while I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay

And don't waste time getting to the point, 'cause I'm, I'm patiently waiting
For your next phone call, your next excuse for losing sleep again
Tell me what you think about being open,
About being honest with yourself

'Cause things will never be the same

So I guess I'll see you, I'll see you around
I'm spinning while I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you to stay

'Cause I can't stop it now
It's so amazing how
I know I cant, I could never walk away

How can we resolve this now
We let it go, and wonder how
This can never be the same
Can never be the same

So I guess I'll see you, I'll see you around
I'm spinning while I'm falling down
Now you know why I'm begging you, I'm begging!

'Cause I can't stop it now,
It's so amazing how,
I know I cant, I could never walk away.

Please don't mind what I'm trying to say, 'cause I'm, I'm being honest.

Runaway lyrics - Cartel

Face down; this is where it leads you - too far.
Buried covered now, you'll find peace - in the earth aground.
Stop now, there's no point in breathing - it's not allowed.
On the surface, how can you find - reason to move on?

Until then you can runaway.
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best;
I know you get what you get
you get what you deserve.

Hush now, don't say a word - it's out in the open,
And tell me how can you deal with all this weight?
Speak now, you must have a secret kept down,
Down where you can keep it - I need you to spill your guts.

Until then you can runaway,
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best.
I know you get what you get
Until then you can runaway.
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best.
I know you get what you get
you get what you deserve.

Speak now you must have a secret kept down,
Down where you can keep it - I need you to spill your guts.

Until then you can runaway,
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best.
I know you get what you get
Until then you can runaway.
Do your best to hide your face.
And oh I know you best,
I know you get what you get
and all you get what you,
You get what you get,
you get what you,
You get what you get,
and all you get what you deserve.

Matter Of Time lyrics - Cartel

Here it goes again,
Put on that deserving tone
and don't forget that this was all your fault.
It's breathing down your neck,
you know you've got to let this go.
You're such a wreck and now it starts to show.

Cause all you can't deny is held inside
And when we go, we say goodbye,
and then we run, we run away.

From all we can't deny is just a lie.
And when we try to just get by
We just can't get past ourselves.

Cause where you are is where you'll be:
always wanting everything.
It's all the same that you can't ignore
Cause all you want is just "to be more".

It's creeping up again.
(It's all been considered.)
(It's a game and you're not the winner)
It's a haunting memory.

Cause all you can't deny is held inside
And when we go, we say goodbye
and then we run, we run away.

From all we can't deny is just a lie.
And when we try to just get by
We just can't get past ourselves.

Cause where you are is where you'll be:
always wanting everything.
It's all the same- that you can't ignore
Cause all you want is just "to be more".

Cause who you are is who you'll be,
and that is really everything.
It's all the same that you can relate.
Cause what you want's not what you're getting.

It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time
'Til you know you'll be somebody tonight.

It's just a matter of time (where you are is where you'll be)
It's just a matter of time (and that is really everything)
It's just a matter of time (it's all the same that you can relate)
'Til you know you'll be somebody tonight. (cause what you want's not what you're getting)
It's just a matter of time
It's just a matter of time

Burn This City lyrics - Cartel

Stay up all night and sleep all day,
We were smart kids with too much to say,
and so, so sure that they were missing out.
They're the ones who are missing out
We were elemental, talked down to bare essentials.
Who knew we'd get so far?

Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops.
They said we'd burn so bright.
We burn this city and go.

Play it again, (our games of love and lust.)
There's no such thing (no there's never too much).
And we were so, so sure, no we never had a doubt.
We're counting down the days to getting out and
We were elemental, talked down to bare essentials.
Who knew we'd get so far?

Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops.
They said we're wasting our lives,
Oh at least we know, that if we die - we lived with passion.
They said we'd burn so bright.
We burn this city and go.

Pack our bags and get away - they're catching on to us.
So pack our bags and get away - they're catching on to us.
Pack our bags and get away - they're catching on to us.
Pack our bags and get away - they're catching on to us.

Cause our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops.
They said we're wasting our lives,
Oh at least we know, that if we die - we lived with passion.
They said we'd burn so bright.
We burn this city, and go.

Save Us lyrics - Cartel

Simple words we never knew,
The power behind what they put us through,
Now it's all begun
What it takes to make it real.
We're standing on the edge of this,
When our soul is gone what will we miss?
We lost what it takes to really make it feel.

But the better days behind us now,
We all need someone to tell us how
To save the state of where we are,
It keeps demanding more and more and more.
And who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, and can you save us?
Oh I can't go on out of rhythm with our time.

We hold these truths self evident,
The lies we used to represent
Who we are, because it was never meant to be.
And all the songs we used to sing, they used to tell us everything.
All about how it was never meant to be.

But the better days behind us now.
We all need someone to tell us how
To save the state of where we are,
It keeps demanding more and more and more.
And who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, and can you save us?
Oh I can't go on out of rhythm with our time.

Say the words, give it all the time you need.
Let it out, oh, just say anything.
Say the words and make them count,
Say them loud without a doubt.
Give us truth and nothing more,
Leave us wanting more and more.

Can you save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you say, that you'll save us?
Oh I can't go on, out of rhythm with our time.
And can you say, you say, you'll save us?
I can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you say, that you'll save us?
Oh I can't go on, out of rhythm with our time.

We're out of rhythm with our time.

Luckie St. lyrics - Cartel

Let's count the days until winter comes our way
We're all tired and ready to breathe
And there's a rumor that

There's a bitter cold chill in the air.
It's haunting every breath we take.
The hint of alcohol and nicotine it keeps us warm inside.
So all your fashion sense aware, the sweaters unfold themselves.
We are all alone, but we're better off by ourselves.

It's time to roll the windows down and
Feel the cold air all around.
We are heading out of town and
Not a thing can stop us now.
Get carried away.

Let's think about all those nights on Luckie St.
We stayed up til 3 am, with all the gossip and the latest girls.

There's a bitter cold chill in the air.
It's haunting every breath we take.
The hint of alcohol and nicotine it keeps us warm inside.
So all your fashion sense aware, the sweaters unfold themselves.
We are all alone, but we're better off by ourselves.

It's time to roll the windows down and
Feel the cold air all around.
We are heading out of town and
Not a thing can stop us now.
Get carried away.

This winter is much like all the rest.
This season's changed since we've been away.
This winter is much like all the rest.

It's time to roll the windows down and
Feel the cold air all around.
We are heading out of town and
Not a thing can stop us now.
Get carried away.

Settle Down lyrics - Cartel

It was just a few years in the making now.
The two were locked in a heated dispute,
'Cause he was gone when she needed him more.
Then she could really ever let on to.

They were the poster perfect high school sweethearts,
But moving out can erase the time
The two had spent it on working it out and
Everybody knew that they were out of their minds.

Oh, you know you really need to settle down
And let it go.
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go.

Consider this, he was moving on while
She was busy trying to pass the time
Between the previous and next nervous breakdown.
The girl had given up the love of her life.
And all the time that she was givin' up slowly
he didn't notice when she ran away
and when it came to finally letting him on
well this is every single word she'd say...

Oh, you know you really need to settle down
And let it go.
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies -
The only way to save your life.
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.

Just say you left me like you could.
Although you said you never would.
Just say it's done, and be gone.

Just say you left me like you could.
Although you said you never would.
Just say it's done, and be gone.
Just say it's done, and be gone.

Let it go!
You know you really need to settle down
Let it go!
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go.
For good, forget his lies,
The only way to save your life.
'Cause this is restitution
For the love you've thrown away.

You know you really need to settle down
You know you really need to settle down
You really need to let it go.

If I Fail lyrics - Cartel

Time to go, "This is goodbye"
She said "Does it ever get easier to live like this"
And kiss the cheek
For I can't kiss you anymore
And I, I would honestly love you now
But I would lovingly let you down

Oh I have the hardest time resisting you
And oh if you
If you feel the same way then how can we be friends
He's right you know
We can't go on like this
And oh I try to give you everything
And if I fail well then I failed
But at least I gave you something

I could put my trust in giving up the heart
It makes the difference
And how can you afford to settle down
When I, I would promise to love you now
But I would lovingly let you down

Oh I have the hardest time resisting you
And oh if you
If you feel the same way then how can we be friends
He's right you know, we can't go on like this
And oh I try to give you everything
And if I fail well then I failed
But at least I gave you something

(It's better than silence)
(Give me one good reason)

It's better than silence (you know)
Give me one good reason (you know)
To leave this in silence (you know)
No, you don't have a good reason (you know)

If you feel the same way then how can we be friends
He's right you know, we can't go on like this
And oh I try to give you everything
And if I fail well then I failed
But at least I gave you something

It's better than silence
It's better than silence

The Minstrel's Prayer lyrics - Cartel

And all these stupid silly songs
Keep trying to catch your ear
I'm trying desperately
It's just so hard to persevere
And even if you listened
I never had much to say
Cause it's the same old song
I've written for the day

Shelter me oh genius words
Just give me strength
Just to pen these things
And give me peace to well her wings
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our ladies ear
We will win for us the girl

All these minstrels through the ages
That is really all we are
Simply singing for the girl
That makes us try so very hard
To craft the perfect limerick
To wield unending woe
To write such silly songs
And the difference never know

Shelter me oh genius words
Just give me strength
Just to pen these things
And give me peace to well her wings
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our ladies ear
We will win for us the girl

And I'll hold on to the dream
Of this beggar's plea and optimistic fantasy
Just hold the hand and drop the knee
You're facing love
You're embracing melody

Shelter me oh genius words
Just give me strength
Just to pen these things
And give me peace to well her wings
And oh, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our ladies ear
We will win for us the girl

And carry on, oh carry on all you minstrels of the world
We will catch our ladies ear
We will win for us the girl

Q lyrics - Cartel

Reaching out
Can you hear me
I said I'm reaching out
But no one's near me
And through all this I've been reaching out blindly
And so it comes down and I don't know anything
It always comes around
And fighting always seems just like

That I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you wont until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers

Well here goes nothing yeah I'm standing up
And I'll get nothing if it's not enough
But they wont say what they're holding back from us
And so it comes down and I don't know anything
It always comes around
And fighting always seems just like

That I'll never know
And you never will
Still i'll never know
And you wont until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers
[x2]

I'll tell you this is something that you'll never hear
They knew it then and they've been holding back for years
And if you're not getting answers ask better questions......

That I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers
[x2]

A lyrics - cartel

And you can take this however you want
Yeah you can take this however you want
And don't be so so sure this is all it adds up to....you

You're justified
But there's no justice if it's just a lie
No, go and find yourself
You will if you look inside
And I'll never know
And you never will
Still I'll never know
And you won't until someone stands up
Then you'll get some answers

And you can take this however you want
Yeah you can take this however you want
Just don't waste your breath unless you can save us
And tell me can you
Can you save us?

Can you save?
Can you save us?
This can't go on without the meaning in the rhyme
Can you save?
Can you save us?
I can't go on
Out of rhythm with our time
[x2]

Our days were numbered by nights on too many rooftops
They said we're wasting our lives
Oh at least we know that if we died
We lived with passion
They said we burned so bright

(And tell me, can you save us?
Oh, whoa, oh at least we know, that if we died
They said we'd burn so bright, bright, no, whoa
But we're not wasting our lives
And if we die, oh maybe you, maybe you
And oh maybe you can save us)

(We run and we run)
We know there's an answer
We know by going home we'll find it by ourselves
(Whoa)

When what you want is what you're getting
(They're catching onto us)
(Oh whoa oh oh oh)
When all you can do is hide
(Don't be afraid)

Oh maybe you can save us..
When all you can do is hide..

Oh (We know there's an answer,
We know by going home we'll find it by ourselves)

Write This Down lyrics - Cartel

Write this down
Remember every word
You're not the things they told you way back then
You're so much more than ideas in your head
So bury them
And keep them so they can return when you're alone
And so that you can fight them in the end
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo

Boy you know i'm sick and tired of healing all your pain
It's time for you to know the truth
And cast your cares away

Write this down
Remember every word
You're not the things they told you way back then
You're so much more than ideas in your head
So bury them
And keep them so they can return when you're alone
And so that you can fight them in the end
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo

Boy you know i'm sick and tired of healing all your pain
It's time for you to know the truth
And cast your cares away

And i'm so sorry
It took too long to let you know that
It's alright, and it's ok
Cause they mean nothing anyway
Well soon you'll say that you're so alone
Well loneliness is all we get
Get used to it

Boy you know i'm sick and tired of healing all your pain
It's time for you to know the truth
And cast your cares away
And i'm so sorry
It took too long to let you know that
It's alright, and it's ok
Cause they mean nothing anyway

Hey, Don't Stop lyrics - Cartel

It's never easy to see the sun
When you're locked up in this pretty plaster cage
So she says she'd love to feel alive again
This loneliness necessitates her void

And I tell her don't stop trying to be the one
Cause one day it won't matter who you are
She's had enough of being down
And it seems that everything that she's heard
It's everything that makes her cry
And it's just about time to get this right
because I don't know if it's all about taking this drink tonight
And I've been thinking baby [x3]
That you're out of your mind

So now it's midnight and she leans against the wind
She finds it cold and comforting in this bold and daring glow
yeah, we all know to pass the time we pass around a few cold stares and wonder who we are
So I tell her don't stop trying to be the one
Cause one day it won't matter who you are
She's had enough of being down
And it seems that everything that she's heard
It's everything that makes her cry
It's just about time to get this right
Because i don't know if it's all about taking this drink tonight
And I've been thinking baby [x3]
That you're out of your mind

So I think she's better of this way [x2]
So I tell her don't stop trying to be the one
Cause one day it won't matter who you are
She's had enough of being down
And it seems that everything she's heard
Is everything that makes her cry
It's just about time to get this right because I don't know
If it's all about taking this drink tonight
And I've been thinking baby [x3]
That you're out of your mind
And I've been thinking baby [x3]

The City Never Sleeps lyrics - Cartel

I walk around
it's 10 past midnight here and I'm moving
to the sound of people drowning out their lives
this little voice that says
"hey, we should settle down" but we never listen
we say to each other, just wait'll they see me now..

I'm, I'm feeling so alive don't you wish it was like this everynight?
The city never sleeps for you and I,
let's fly away this time and get on with our lives,
but don't look down
you'll never feel your feet touch the ground.

If it's all the same, i'd rather never leave
it feels too good to hear the sounds
and see the sights on Main St.
Cause now I see millions of people just living out their lives
and they all came from no where they all say
just wait'll they see me now..

I'm, I'm feeling so alive don't you wish it was like this everynight?
The city never sleeps for you and I,
let's fly away this time and get on with our lives,
but don't look down
you'll never feel your feet touch the..

Now I'm, I'm feeling so alive
don't you wish it was like this everynight?
the city never sleeps for you and I,
let's fly away this time and get on with our lives,
but don't look down
you'll never feel your feet touch the ground..

they'll never touch the ground

Last Chance lyrics - Cartel

This is me calling you out for all these built up superstitions
They haunt me now and then
For just a little light down here
I would run, I would cross a thousand seas
And in our perfect world you would wait at the other side

I know that you, you'll follow up with all the answers
If you were there for me at all
This is the way that I can't describe anything I've felt for awhile
It's just a little too much to take
This is the way that I can't describe anything I've felt for awhile
It's just a little too much to take

So tell me what would you have to say for asking who you really are
Oh god, I want to know
Just a little truth down here
I would write, I would write a thousand songs and sing them all to you
You know you wouldn't have to say a thing

I know that you, you'll follow up with all the answers
If you were there for me at all
This is the way that I can't describe anything I've felt for awhile
It's just a little too much to take
This is the way that I can't describe anything I've felt for awhile
It's just a little too much to take

So enough with everyone else's words
It's just a sign that nothing makes sense to me
This is your last chance
I'd cut you just to watch you bleed
It's the only way to make you see that you are never there for me
You're never there for me
You're never there for me
Never there for me at all

I know that you, you'll follow up with all the answers
If you were there for me at all
This is the way that I can't describe anything I've felt for awhile
It's just a little too much to take
This is the way that I can't describe anything I've felt for awhile
It's just a little too much to take

The Ransom lyrics - Cartel

He softly told you everything
He never knew you didn't care.
Break his heart again, smile and prepare for all the words he screams.
Give him a reason, anything but silence or the truth.
He'll hate you now.

Remember how he held you for all those lonely nights you know you shared
And remember how you never cared about anything he said.
Well now he's dead to you, so bury him instead.

The words out, I'm not the man I used to be.
You knew it all along that I felt this way.
I put in this song, tear me apart for pouring out my heart.
You know it wouldn't phase you in the least.
I hate you now.

Remember how I held you for all the lonely nights you know we shared
And remember how you never cared about anything I said
And now I'm dead to you, so bury me instead.

So here's the one about every heart you stole.
And you're so sure that you're not a thief at all.
Cause I'm the one who's stealing you and this ransom's overdue.
Everything that's in me says that I hate you now.

Remember how I held you for all the lonely nights you know we shared
And remember how you never cared about anything I said
And now I'm dead to you, so bury me instead.

Fiend (Alternate Version) lyrics - Cartel

I see you all the time
i see you in a video
running through my head
i hear that you're a fiend
you love and let nobody know where you go

why didn't you come back to me?
i'll give you whatever you want
turn around on the way out
and you will find
i needed you all the way
now if you don't mind

i never needed anything,
anything but this tonight
i needed you to tell me what was wrong

why didn't you come back to me?
i'll give you whatever you want
turn around on the way out
and you will find
i needed you all the way
now if you don't mind

this is just like everything
i told you he would say
why wouldn't you just listen
so it wouldn't end up this way

why didn't you come back to me?
i'll give you whatever you want
turn around and you will find
i needed you all the way
now if you don't mind

why didn't you come back to me?
i'll give you whatever you want
turn around and you will find
i needed you all the way
now if you don't mind

Radioheadish lyrics - Cartel

Take the best
The best is all that i can give
And find a way so can i fall
To me it means nothing at all
But I rise again
Fear the pain
It's greedy but it's oh so vain

And it shapes me
Swear if i'm true
And the best, the goal of time
Even if I die

Tonight i will follow
I've made my mind
And I, I will follow
I'm with this bet
That lies, good thing i've done
And I, I become

There's nothing else
Carry all that what you can
Find a face
I'm just drunk with what you said
And this lies, too soon
For all of them but not for you

And it shapes me
Swear if i'm true
And the best, the goal of time
Even if I die

Tonight i will follow
I've made my mind
And I, I will follow
I'm with this bet
That lies, good thing i've done
And I, I become

Save Us lyrics - Cartel

Simple words we never knew,
The power behind what they put us through,
Now it's all begun,
What it takes to make it real.
We're standing on the edge of this,
When our soul is gone what will we miss?
We lost what it takes to really, really feel.

And better days behind us now,
We all need someone to tell us how
To save the state of where we are,
It keeps demanding more and more and more.
But who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, and can you save us?
Well I can't go on, out of rhythm with our time.

We hold these truths self evident,
The lies we used to represent
Who we are, because it was never meant to be.
And all the songs we used to sing, they used to tell us everything.
Now we're left with, all we're left is memories.

But the better days behind us now.
We all need someone to tell us how
To save the state of where we are,
It keeps demanding more and more and more.
But who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, and can you save us?
Well I can't go on, out of rhythm with our time.

Say the words, give it all the time you need.
Let it out, oh, just say anything.
Say the words and make them count,
Say the words without a doubt.
Give us truth and nothing more,
Leave us wanting more and more.

But who will save us?
This can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you save, can you save us?
Well I can't go on, out of rhythm with our time.
Can you save, can you save us?
I can't go on, without the meaning in the rhyming.
Can you say, you say, you'll save us?
And I can't go on, we're out of rhythm with our time.

Wonderwall lyrics - Cartel

(originally by Oasis)

Today was gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you've got to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
And I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how

So I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you've got to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

And all the roads we had to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
I don't know how

So I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me?
And after all...
You're my wonderwall

So I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all...
You're my wonderwall

So I said maybe
You're gonna be the one who saves me?
And after all...
You're my wonderwall

Said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
