It's time for Breaking Benjamins 3rd album...

Phobia

1. Intro

[Instrumental]
[Flight attendant informing passengers of flight procedure]
[Sound of a commercial airliner taking off]

2. Diary of Jane

If I had to, I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask, "Would you like that? Would you like that?"
And I don't mind if you say this love is the last time
So now I'll ask, "Do you like that? Do you like that?" (No!)

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Try to find out what makes you tick
As I lie down, sore and sick
Do you like that, do you like that?

There's a fine line between love and hate
And I don't mind, just let me say
"That I like that, I like that"

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane

As I burn another page, as I look the other way
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane
So tell me how it should be

Desperate, I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love
Die for anyone
What have I become?

Something's getting in the way
Something's just about to break
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane
As I burn another page, as I look the other way
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane

3. Breath

I see nothing in your eyes
And the more I see the less I like
Is it over yet?
In my head

I know nothing of your kind
And I won't reveal your evil mind
Is it over yet?
I can't win

So sacrifice yourself
And let me have what's left
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way, get away, please

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be

You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I will be the death of you

This will be all over soon (This will all be over soon)
Pour the salt into the open wound
Is it over yet?
Let me in

So sacrifice yourself
And let me have what's left

I know that I can find the fire in your eyes
I'm going all the way, get away, please

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I will be the death of you

I'm waiting, I'm praying, realize, start hating

You take the breath right out of me
You left a hole where my heart should be
You gotta fight just to make it through
'Cause I will be the death of you

4. You

My hands are broken
And time is going on and on, it goes, forever (how long?)
So I got high and lived all that life that I have taken all for granted

Promise me you'll try
To leave it all behind
Because I've elected hell
Been lying to myself

Why have I gone blind?
Live another life
You

The only way out is letting your guard down
And never die forgotten
And forgive me my love
I stand here all alone and I can see the bottom

Promise me you'll try
To leave it all behind
Because I've elected hell
Been lying to myself
Why have I gone blind?
Live another life
You

You

5. Evil Angel

Hold it together, birds of a feather
Nothing but lies and crooked wings
I have the answer, spreading the cancer
You are the faith inside me

No, don't leave me to die here
Help me survive here
Alone, don't remember, remember

Put me to sleep evil angel
Open your wings evil angel

I'm a believer, nothing could be worse
All these imaginary friends
Hiding the trail, driving the nail
Hoping to find a saviour

No, don’t leave me to die here
Help me survive here
Alone, don’t surrender, surrender

Put me to sleep evil angel
Open your wings evil angel

Fly over me evil angel
Why can't I breathe evil angel?

6. Until The End

So clever, whatever, I'm done with these endeavors
Alone I walk the winding way (Here I stay)
It's over, no longer, I feel it growing stronger
I live to die another day
Until I fade away

Why give up? Why give in?
It's not enough, it never is

So I will go on until the end
We've become desolate
It's not enough, it never is
But I will go on until the end

Surround me, it's easy to fall apart completely
I feel you creeping up again (in my head)
It's over, no longer, I feel it growing colder

I knew this day would come to end
So let this life begin

Why give up? Why give in?
It's not enough, it never is
So I will go on until the end
We've become desolate
It's not enough, it never is
But I will go on until the end

I've lost my way, I've lost my way
But I will go on until the end
Living is hard enough without you fucking up

I've lost my way, I've lost my way
But I will go on until the end
The final fight I win
The final fight I win
The final fight I win
But I will go on until the end

7. Dance With The Devil

Here I stand
Helpless and left for dead

Close your eyes
So many days go by
Easy to find what's wrong
Harder to find what's right

I believe in you
I can show you that
I can see right through
All your empty lies
I won't stay long
In this world so wrong

Say goodbye
As we dance with the Devil tonight
Don't you dare look at him in the eye
As we dance with the Devil tonight

Trembling
Crawling across my skin
Feeling your cold dead eyes
Stealing the life of mine

I believe in you
I can show you that
I can see right through
All your empty lies
I won't last long
In this world so wrong

Say goodbye as we dance with the Devil tonight
Don't you dare look at him in the eye
As we dance with the Devil tonight
Hold on
Hold on (Oh)

[Solo]

Say goodbye as we dance with the Devil tonight
Don't you dare look at him in the eye
As we dance with the Devil tonight
Hold on
Hold on

(Ooh)

Goodbye

8. Topless

Fruit on the vine
You've got yours, and I've got mine
Meat on your bones
They won't know, they won't know

I love your face, just get away
I'm on my knees, fuck you, fuck me

I'm on my way to feel you dislocate
Safe in your space
I'm open, wide open

I love your face, just get away
I'm on my knees, fuck you, fuck me

Like me
Like me
Like me

I love your face, just get away
I'm on my knees, fuck you, fuck me

Me
Me
Me

9. Here We Are

Sing it for me
I can't erase the stupid things I say
You're better than me
I struggle just to find a better way

So here we are, fighting and trying to hide the scars
I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly say goodbye

The lonely road, the one that I should try to walk alone
I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly say goodbye

You wouldn't like me
Keep moving on until forever ends
Don't try to fight me
The beauty queen has lost her crown again

So here we are, fighting and trying to hide the scars
I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly say goodbye
The lonely road, the one that I should try to walk alone
I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly say goodbye

So why are you so eager to betray?
Pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up
So why are you the one that walks away?
Pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up

So here we are, fighting and trying to hide the scars

I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly say goodbye
The lonely road, the one that I should try to walk alone
I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softly say goodbye

10. Unknown Soldier

[Intro]

Borderline
Dead inside
I don't mind
Falling to pieces
Count me in
Violent
Let's begin
Feeding the sickness
How do I
Simplify?
Dislocate
The enemy's on the way

Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white
So I can leave this world tonight

Full of fear, Everclear
I'll be here, fighting forever
Curious, venomous
You'll find me climbing to heaven
Never mind, turn back time
You'll be fine, I will get left behind

Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white
So I can leave this world tonight
Holding on too tight
Breathe the breath of life
So I can leave this world behind

(Ooh)
It only hurts just once (Ooh)
They're only broken bones (Ooh)
Hide the hate inside (Ooh)

(Oh!)

(So I can leave this world behind)

Show me what it's like
To dream in black and white
So I can leave this world tonight
Holding on too tight
Breathe the breath of life
So I can leave this world behind

11. Had Enough

Milk it for all it's worth
Make sure you get there first
The apple of your eye
The rotten core inside
We are all prisoners
Things couldn't get much worse
I've had it up to here
You know your end is near

You had to have it all, well have you had enough?
You greedy little bastard, you will get what you deserve
When all is said and done, I will be the one
To leave you in your misery and hate what you've become

Intoxicated eyes, no longer live that life
You should have learned by now
I'll burn this whole world down
I need some peace of mind
No fear of what's behind
You think you've won this fight
You've only lost your mind

You had to have it all, well have you had enough?
You greedy little bastard, you will get what you deserve
When all is said and done, I will be the one
To leave you in your misery and hate what you've become

Hold me down, (I will live again)
Hold me down, (I will break it in)
Hold me down, (Better in the end)
Hold me down

You had to have it all, well have you had enough?
You greedy little bastard, you will get what you deserve
When all is said and done, I will be the one
To leave you in your misery and hate what you've become

Heaven help you
Heaven help you

12. You Fight Me

You fight me, flat on my lonely face I fell
Finding in the end I'll live well
In the light of the life that I have found
It's coming down
I don't know what isn't real
But it's easy to be me, suck it in

Life is sink or swim
Love is blinding, no surviving
I don't know what I want to be yet
But I can show that I need to see this
No time for lies and empty fights
I'm on your side

Can't we live a life of peace of happiness?
I don't think so
No denying I am scared to lose the things I love
I'm in control

This is how, this is how it's going to end
This is how, this is how it's going to end
End

Everyone is waiting for here for everyone
Leave me alone

This is how, this is how it's going to end
This is how, this is how it's going to end
End
