Sugar In The Engine Lyrics

Theres sugar in the engine
I feel the friction and tension here
Sprinkle salt on the injured
It's been such a controverse here
With such a conversation here

Look closely
Life isn't what it seems to be sometimes
Act lonely,
And just hope one day you'll feel alive

There's smoke all around the ceiling
I get the feeling that no one's safe
Let's concentrate on our healing
Gather round, you know it's worth the wait

Look closely
Life isn't what it seems sometimes
Act lonely,
And just hope one day you'll feel alive

Close your eyes and make a wish
You'll need more than a crucifix to survive
I know I'll never make your list
I just hope one day I'll feel alive
One day I'll feel alive
One day I'll feel alive
One day I'll feel alive

Look closely
Life isn't what it seems sometimes
Act lonely,
And just hope one day you'll feel alive

Close your eyes and make a wish
You'll need more than a crucifix to survive
I know I'll never make your list
I just hope one day I'll feel alive

<i>"November 24th
I woke up just like any other day
The beginning of another tour, just another city
If I only knew last night was the last time I would ever see you
I would of said good night
I would of said I love you
I would of said good bye
I would of said good night
I would of said I love you
I would of said good bye
I would of said good night
I would of said I love you
I would of said good bye
I would of said good night"</i>

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

i'm pretty sure it's about casey.

"November 24th I woke up just like any other day The beginning of another tour, just another city If I only knew last night was the last time I would ever see you I would of said good night I would of said I love you I would of said good bye I would of said good night I would of said I love you I would of said good bye I would of said good night I would of said I love you I would of said good bye I would of said good night" That part really wants to make me cry :(

The song is obviously about Casey, as are a lot of the songs on the new record. The whole thing is just brilliant. I heard the CD about a week & a half before it came out, and I never heard the end of this upon my first listen. I finally just heard that part today and just...wow. It made me cry. I miss Casey so so so so so much. D:

Probably my favourite song on the album, closely followed by Disaster. The rest are...too happy...I was never really a fan of the screaming, but HH has definitely taken a turn for the worse after Casey's death.

I love the new album. They haven't changed much. Their sound is pretty much the same, except no Casey. =[ The end makes me so sad. And makes me miss Casey even more so.

Gears says "yes it will make it rust and start to break down the oil and it could blow the engine" to the question of "Will sugar destroy the engine of a car?" ( http://www.funadvice.com/q/will_sugar_destroy_a_gastank )

so Casey's Death was "Sugar in the engine" and without him the "engine" or the band(or just one of his loved ones) are breaking down ...

that's my thoughts on part of the song i'm not real sure about the rest and i'm probably wrong about what I said, anyhow.

''I would of said good night I would of said I love you I would of said good bye.''

Never been a huge fan of Fragile Future but I really like the ending of the song<3
