Candlebox Lyrics

Hey is there something you've got on your mind
Can you speak a little bit louder
Just wait listen close to these words and you'll find
It gets harder to swallow their lies

Stay all they ask is you follow them, fools
Yes you've made it so far so you play
Bring you friends to our party recruit it'll take you much further
Oh this is your way all your cunning destruction
No we cannot stay we'll say fuck your consumption

If I stood for you and I bled for you would you come and save me
If we took a chance did it all again
Would you run away or stand

So you prey on the loneliest cubs in the zoo
All the weak and unknowing
Just play you can mold and conform them the rules
We must break the bad habits
Oh this is your way all your cunning destruction
No we cannot stay we'll save fuck your consumption

If I stood for you and I bled for you would you come and save me
If we took a chance did it all again
Would you run away or stand

If I stood for you and I bled for you would you come and save me
If we took a chance did it all again
Would you run away or stand

If I stood for you and I bled for you would you come and save me
If we took a chance did it all again
Would you run away or stand

Bitches Brewin' Lyrics - Candlebox

You're at an all time low, you're giving in
I've got some blood to spill, it's simple kid
Come on come on now back that smack up swing
Uh oh, talk the talk
Uh oh, mean old dog
Oh no, bitches brewing
Uh oh... bitches brewin'

Hey- I'm at your beckon call, and I'm dressed for sin
Yes I've got some sick shoes on, let's get it swingin'
Voice too hot for pop must be that fuckin' yo

You're at an all time high, and you're slinging shit
If you had an inch of soul, baby you would benefit
Fess up or unrest in peace you'll know
Uh oh, talk that talk

Talking shit won't fix this bitch now
Some say, it's your motherfuckin' bed won't you get in

Surrendering Lyrics - Candlebox

I'm in the need
Of someone to confide
Surrendering
Cause I'm not as strong as you'd think
Uncommonly
The desire that holds our eyes
We'll need to dig deep

You see that I can't but reason I cover up
Better than most
Yes I cover up better than most
I'm surrendering

I can't believe that you were ever on my side
But who holds the keys
Of who I am and why this life
And I want to be free
This indecision from all sides
You need to dig deep
Cause you see that

I can't but reason I cover up
Better than most
Yes I cover up better than most
I'm surrendering

Oh, this blame that we lay on
Our mothers, our sisters, our lovers
Our thoughts, they're ours to own
So we need to dig deep
You see that I can't but reason

Could somebody please give me something to hold
Something to numb why I'm feeling alone
Beginning to think that the older we get
The more we think, the less we know

I'm surrendering

I surrender,
Cause I can't but reason I cover up
Better than most,
Yes I cover up better than most
I'm surrendering
Yes I cover up better than most
Yes I cover up better than most
I'm surrendering

I'm in the need
Of someone to confide
Surrendering
Cause I'm not as strong as you'd think

Into The Sun Lyrics - Candlebox

I've been blinded by
The beauty of your eye
This worries me (she whispers)
Sunshine my love
The meanings of her words do move
Undressed indoors
To me it's lust
Oh we got high, high to rain it all over my
Sunshine my love, oh be still
If this is my time then I'm running late
Oh my angel

Always into the sun
Wings ablaze, I'm alive, I fight
Always into the sun
To unsteady me, no more no more no more

I've unsteady days
You flicker in my gaze
This hurries me (she whispers)
Tic toc my love
Beneath it all it's clear
It's deeper than, deeper than the deepest sea
She isn't ready for it, she isn't ready for
Anything, anything that might
Further me away my love goodbye
Goodbye my love, will you sing this song?
When my time has come and I'm running late
Oh my angel

Always into the sun
Wings ablaze, I'm alive, I fight
Always into the sun
To unsteady me no
Unsteady, dying, maybe wounded
I'm wide awake and I'm not sleeping
Always into the sun
Wings ablaze, I'm alive, I fight

Sitting here awaiting cover
To see the one that never got away
She still stops so far so far still further
Won't you hold her still?
If you only love would love her love would love
My love would love me martyr

Always into the sun
Wings ablaze, I'm alive, I fight
Always into the sun
To unsteady me no

Always into the sun
Wings ablaze, I'm alive, I fight
Always into the sun
To unsteady me no more

Underneath It All Lyrics - Candlebox

Oh my dying hands deny
As seasons dance around
I am but one amongst the losing race
The massive fear resounds
I come before the greater good of men
My lessons learned to lie
I am a son of war, my father's son
I've amassed a forced ally

Who travels on? Who travels on?

These empty souls charade
As colors fade then fold
I've begun to spin
The hands of time my love
Desperate men are sold
I come before the greater good of men
My lessons learned to lie
You're hanging on by the threads of your lesser sins
At the expense of your decline

Who travels on? Who travels on?

And I come from near and far
And I come from face to face
And I come to carry on
Underneath it all,
Oh underneath it all
Oh underneath it all

I come to carry on
Underneath it all

Miss You Lyrics - Candlebox

All, all it's not alright
Your role it played through time
Come and rescue me
You're needed here at home

And your space, a moment in time
A hand to hold a hand I tried
Who was it called to you?
Who called?
Your stories alive with hellos and goodbyes
And bright lights, first kiss and drunken nights
How I miss you

I miss you now and
Hey, I can't wait another day
And hey, that crooked smile upon your face
Oh, they'll never get old
All the stories you told
From the beach to the ring
To the songs of your soul
How I miss you
I miss you now and hey

And the rain
Falling cold outside
Covered me the day you died
You could have waited one more day
And I should've called
I dream of your life, the war and the fight
The music you played, the love for your wife
And I miss you
Hmm mmm

I miss you now and
Hey, I can't wait another day
And hey, that crooked smile upon your face
Oh, they'll never get old
All the stories you told
From the beach to the ring
To the songs of your soul
How I miss you
I miss you now and hey

[Bridge:]
And I'm mad at the age
That stole you away
By surviving that beach
You gave me my stay
And I understand by this that I am
All that you were was changed by that sand
But I miss you yeah
I miss you yeah

And I miss you, yeah
And hey, I can't wait another day
And hey, that crooked smile upon your face
Oh, they'll never get old
All the stories you told
From the beach to the ring
To the songs of your soul
How I miss you
How I miss you

How Does It Feel Lyrics - Candlebox

And I just want to thank you, for all that you've done
The mess that you've made, the allegations
And I don't want to blame you, yes I need to crack down
You're essential to the process, and the essence of my breakdown, yea

And I can't wait to sell you, to the village of fools
Cos you're a violent hangover, malicious so cruel
Could you keep it secret, you couldn't lock it up tight
Cos you're a sea of information thats spilling out from all sides
I think i might find you, a little clumsy and aloof
Atop a mountain of sand, unhinged in untruths

How does it feel, upon your throne
How does it feel, to be all alone
How does it feel, to crawl so low
Your the king of nothing, you're just a show
How does it feel

And I will give you no words, yes I choose a new stance
Its hard enough to engage, the smart as well as the ass
You couldn't keep it secret, you couldn't lock it up tight
Cos you're a sea of information, that's bleeding out of the lies

How does it feel, upon your throne
How does it feel, to be all alone
How does it feel, to crawl so low
Your the king of nothing, you're just a show
How does it feel

One might deceive
One might lie
One more disease, yea
A great divide
How does it feel
To be on your own
You are the sea
So welcome to the show
Welcome to the show, yea
Welcome to the show, yea
Welcome to the show,
How does it feel
Welcome to the show, yea
How does it feel?

A Kiss Before Dying Lyrics - Candlebox

I can't quite breathe alone
The patience pressing harder still
Have I lost my call
My fantasies all unfulfilled?
What can I liken to these seas?
A kiss before may bury me
To drown within a day is closer than you think

I find less time for those that can't forgive me
I find it hard to keep my hands from shaking
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out
I won't get out alive

It's all uphill from here
I've walked 1,000 miles have you
The final cut to slip, but never had the follow through
A vagrant of song melodies
A kiss before my tendencies
I carry a blade to keep the scars that never wash away

I find less time for those that can't forgive me
I find it hard to keep my hands from shaking
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out
I won't get out alive

Through time my memories have jaded
The innocence of child has faded
I break the chase the ones that left me
All alone

I find less time for those that can't forgive me
I find it hard to keep my hands from shaking
Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out
I won't get out alive

Just one more kiss before the dying
I won't get out
I won't get out alive
I won't get out alive
I won't get out alive

Breathe Me In Lyrics - Candlebox

You came out of nowhere, and our eyes collide
Like a wall collapsing, a crushing tide
And I saw you laughing, and I saw your smile
It made me anxious baby, it made me high
You ask I answer no, that seat's been removed
You're a deep-rooted tree, an artist's muse
I watch you listen, and I watch you share
You make me want more
And you make me scared
You're so much more than I'd ever hoped

So won't you breathe
Oh won't you breathe
Breathe me in
So I am whole

Oh won't you breathe
Oh won't you breathe
Breathe me in
So I am whole

We're miles from home, we're one another's tribe
An autumn season in a summer's time
And I watch you circle
And baby I watch you fall
You make me feel what I thought
I could never feel at all
And you're so much more
Than I'd ever hoped

So won't you breathe
Oh won't you breathe
Breathe me in
So I am whole
Oh won't you breathe
Oh won't you breathe
Breathe me in
So I am whole

Let it out, let it go, ok to breathe
Let it out, let it go, ok
So much more than
Oh, let it out let it go ok to breathe
Let it out let it go ok
So much more than

So much more than I had ever hoped
So much more than I had ever
So much more than I had ever
So much more than I had ever hoped
Oh won't you breathe me in
Oh won't you breathe me in
Oh won't you breathe me in

Lover Come Back To Me Lyrics - Candlebox

D'you ever see yourself in my eyes?
Did you ever think that maybe I'd be lost without you?
D'you ever think that I was alright
You knew it all along

D'ya ever try to sing to my songs?
Did you ever take a walk is wasn't walking with you, yea?
Did you love me just to be loved?
I knew it all along, I didn't try.

Sometimes I like to be alone.
Sometimes I try to telephone...

Lover, come back to me,
Lover, come back to me,
In your arms is where I need to be
I am alone
I am alone
A raging sea.

I want to taste your bronze skin's delights.
Did you ever want to be the sun that browns me?
D'ya ever think that I might decide?
To ask you to stay, baby put up a fight.

Sometimes I like to be alone.
Sometimes I try to telephone...

Lover, you
Lover, come back to me,
Lover, come back to me,
'Cause in your arms is where I need to be.
I'm alone
I am alone
Raging sea, yea

Lover you
Lover, come back to me
Lover, come back to me, yea
Lover, come back to me , yea
In your arms is where I need to be
I am alone
I am alone
in this raging sea, yea

Consider Us Lyrics - Candlebox

Consider us the long lonely road
Defenders of the brittlest of bones
The dressers of the prettiest of clothes
Our time is gonna come but we'll have nowhere to go

What do we see before we die, is it beautiful?
What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful?
What do I sing to save your life, is it magical?
Baby, how would you feel if we were lying?

Remember us we were the last ones on your mind
Escapers from the erased and denied
The rest is up to you sinners we've aligned
Our time is on the run, and it's left to us to decide

What do we see before we die, is it beautiful?
What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful?
What do I sing to save your life, is it magical?
Baby, how would you feel if we were lying?

What do we see? What do we see?
What do we see? What do we see yeah?
What do we see before we die?

What do we see before we die, is it beautiful?
What do we say to make you cry, is it wonderful?
What do I sing to save your life, is it magical?
Baby, how would you feel if we were lying?
How would you feel if we were lying?
How would you feel if we were lying?

10,000 Horses Lyrics - Candlebox

Feels like the same today
10,000 horses drag me down
Seems like the same you say
10,000 voices crying out
You put on yourself, you'll see
there's nothing left at all
10,000 fingers dragging me down down down
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
It's all about to change
Seems like the same your ways of moving on
10,000 lies, you're washing your hands of everything else
So put on yourself you'll see
There's nothing left at all
10,000 staires they're bringing me down down down
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
Oh it feels like the strain
That everybody's giving to me
Won't let my hands get tied
I'm gonna ride it all out
Never gonna slow down this time
It's all about to change
Change from the past for knowledge tomorrow
Carries me on my way
I feel you pressing
These words left unspoken
Change for the sake, change for the sake of change
Seems like the same you say
10,000 cracks you're walking on
Fells like the same to say
10,000 voices calling on
You put on yourself
You'll see there's nothing left at all
But 10,000 horses bringing me down down down
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
Oh it feels like the strain
That everybody's giving to me
Won't let my hands get tied
I'm gonna ride it all out
Never gonna slow down this time
It's all about to change

Happy Pills Lyrics - Candlebox

Sometimes you wake to see yourself
Take happier pills to keep you well
and sometimes you talk to hear yourself
Screaming out loud
Never ever heard a word you said
Can't you see yourself
Can't you understand
Theres more truth in the way that you lie
But you take a stab at all thats surrounding your mind
Cant you sweep this shit to the side
well Its so fucking nice to have you here
to turn our lives from what we fear
But sometimes your worthless and weak and alone
Will you ever grow
Here I am I want to help you out
Well you wont believe when this cloud lifts what you might find
you'll find its all over and can't you see its all over
This face that stares back at you
Stares back at you from these happy pills
They won't keep you well tonight
(I'll be here to watch u shudder
i'll be the one that holds you under
Every time you try to shift it
Every time your stitch is slipping
Slipping through time)
Theres more truth in the way that you lie
So you take a stab at all thats surrounding ur mind
Got it all over you now
Got it all over you now
Got it all over this
The face that stares back at you from these happy pills
They won't keep you well tonight

Blinders Lyrics - Candlebox

Friends seem to see you
Friends seem to feel you
Does anybody else know?
I'm bailing you out of this life
Take another glance
Then close your eyes
Have you got more to say?
Painting outside the lines
Come another day will you get it right?
Well there's something I should say
Leave it all decide to walk away
Won't you leave it all decide to walk away
In time you'll find your own
I can see your blinders in the way
I'm so much closer than you know now
Can you feel me?
I can see your blinders in the way
Time to open up and let go
Filling the shoes this time
Turn another page, it's just a sign
That you're needed in my life
Drawing inside the pain
Could take another day to wash away
Well there's still time to fly
Leave it all decide to walk away
Leave it all decide to walk away
In time you'll find you're not alone
I can see your blinders in the way
I'm so much closer than you know now
Can you feel me?
I can see your blinders in the way
Time to open up and let go
Caught up outside the light
When you gonna want and realign
Friend I can see you
Friend I can still feel you
Do you feel alone today?
Oh my friend
Do you need me?
Friend do you fear me?
We need to be the same
Leave it all decide to walk away
Leave it all decide to walk away
In time you'll find you're not alone
I can see your blinders in the way
I'm so much closer than you know now
Can you fell me?
I can see your blinders in the way
Time to open up and let go
Caught up outside the light
When you gonna want and realign

It's Alright Lyrics - Candlebox

It's alright what you confess to me
Where you're at right now baby, it's alright with me
Behind your truths or somewhere inside your lies
These long cold days of gray, they color your eyes
And it's alright, what you confide in me
Where we're at right now baby, it's where we need to be
And I can see things so clearly through tear-stained eyes
The side effects of time in all our good-byes, and it's alright
I got lost some time ago,
Lost in your song, your touch, your smile
And where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blond-washed hair from an ocean-side domain
Drifting into me, I found myself again, in her song
It's alright what you say to me
How you feel right now baby, shows an everlasting need
Behind the truth, there's something inside your lies
These long cold days of rain, they're hiding your eyes
And it's alright, what you express to me
Your song escapes me to this place I want to be
So sing to me baby, your song can carry me
Through endless weeks of rain and onto sweeter things
And it's alright
I got lost some time ago,
Lost in your song, your touch, your smile
And where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blond-washed hair from an ocean-side domain
Drifting into me, I found myself again, in her song
Oh sing to me baby, your song can carry me
In all she's revealed I found I could always see
How her ways could flow and run over me
And I found this reason to learn
And i found this reason to decide
As many days come and many days go
I'll never know why
And it's alright
I got lost some time ago,
Lost in your song, your touch, your smile
And where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blond-washed hair from an ocean-side domain
Drifting into me, I found myself again, in her song

A Stone's Throw Away Lyrics - Candlebox

Did i feel this way back then?

Did you wake up
to the sound of pouring rain?
fading days of blue rush past your eyes

Would you lose yourself
in someone else's vain?
or should you shout your mind out
when the loss began?

Bring it on!
high until you washed it all away
it's all the same
i realized it through this song
i sing out loud and call your name
do you feel i'm only someone
you could never ever know?
in it all you'll find
you see you're not that far from me
so walk and hold your head up high
a stone's throw away

I feel right now like i felt way back then
the center of my life i lost it all

Never ever knew how much i'd loved
until you left, you're gone
fell right now like i was chasing you
the same way

High until you washed it all away
it's all the same
i realized it through this song
sing out loud and call your name
do you feel the only someone
you could never ever know?
in it all you find
you see you're not that far from me
to walk and hold your head up high
a stone's throw away

I would like this stone to roll!

High until i washed it all away
it's all the same
i realized it through this song
sing out loud and call my name
do you feel the only someone
you could never ever know
in it all you find
you see you're not that far from me
to walk and hold your head up high
a stone's throw away

You're just a stone's throw away
never knew how much i'd loved
until you're gone
never knew how much i'd love
until you're gone away
until you’re gone away
until you’re gone away
until you’re gone away

Feel right now like i felt way back then
the center of my life i lost it, lost it all away
lost it all away
lost it all away
lost it all away
lost it all away
lost it all away

Never knew how much i'd loved
until you're gone
never knew how much i'd loved
until you're gone
never knew how much i'd loved
until you're gone
never knew how much i'd loved
until you're gone away
until you're gone away
until you’re gone away
until you’re gone away
until you’re gone away
a stone's throw away
a stone's throw away
a stone's throw away
a stone's throw away
a stone's throw away

So Real Lyrics - Candlebox

Breathe in
Are you the one about to crash it all?
You take another hit in time you'll fall, all the way
Summertime sidelines
Well you're the one about to crash it all
And you're the one who likes to blame us all
Consider this
Alright, You're the one fading baby
Well you're the one fading baby
Fading
My life, well everyone's taking stock in me
And everyone listens so faithfully to hear what's right from wrong
it's all they'll ever know
Alright, you're the one fading baby
Well you're the one fading baby
Fading
If I ever want to take my chance again, it's life
If I ever want to take my chance again again
So real, oh baby you're so real
Alright, life well everyone serves themselves you'll see
As hungry as you are to cash in on me, you'll be left in the cold
Fading, if I ever want to take my chance again, it's life
If I ever want to take my chance again again
So real, oh baby you're so real
Find your own life, live, it's far too hard to be alone
These lines you cross, they won't hinder me at all
I feel alive, graced beside
I owe all I loathe to you
Oh baby you're so real

Offerings Lyrics - Candlebox

Look what you're offering
By your hands, you've emptied my soul
But I'll find some time
I'll find somewhere to grow
Look out now
Has your mind been changed by the loss of this memory?
Roll on
You've got some time on your hands for where you are now
Bleeding the offerings
Yes you are now
Bleeding the offerings
My time to sit you all down
My time to save you all now
My time to lay it all out
My time
See what you're offering
See I open my eyes
Your face seems to speak aloud
Seeing it all in my eyes
I see some things in your eyes that have never been shown before
Roll on
Believing it all in my eyes
You've got these needs but I've got somewhere to go now now
So leave it alone, it's my time
With so little time it's so hard to find somewhere to go
Bleeding the offerings
Yes you are now
Bleeding the offerings
My time to sit you all down
My time to save you all now
My time to lay it all out
My time to save your souls again
My time to sit you all down now
My time to save you all now
My time to lay it all out
My time
