Don't
Tell me what's in Tell me how to write Don't tell me how to win This fight Isn't your life It isn't your right To take the only thing that's Mine Proven over time It's over your head Don't try to read between the Lines Are clearly defined Never lose sight of Something you believe in Takin' in the view from the outside Feeling like the underdog Watching through the window I'm on the outside Living like the underdog I've been trying to justify you In the end I will just defy you To those who understand, I extend my hand To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am Not under your command, I know where I stand I won't change to fit your man, Take me as I am As I am Still Running uphill Swimming against the current I wish I weren't so Fucked Feels like I'm stuck Lost in a sea of mediocrity ''Slow down, You're thinking too much Where is your soul?'' You cannot touch The way I Play Or tell me what to say You're in the way Of all that I believe in Takin' in the view from the outside Feeling like the underdog Watching through the window I'm on the outside Living like the underdog I've been wasting my breath on you Open minds will descend upon you To those who understand, I extend my hand To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am Not under your command, I know where I stand I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am |

Cold
Lying in my bed Staring into darkness Lost I hear footsteps overhead And my thoughts return Again Like a child who's run away And won't be coming back Time keeps passing by As night turns into day I'm so far away And so alone I need to see your face To keep me sane To make we whole Try to stay alive Until I hear your voice I'm gonna lose my mind Someone tell me why I chose this life This superficial le Constant compromise Endless sacrifice Pain It saddens me to know The helplessness you feel Your light Shines on my soul While a thousand candles Burn Outside this barren room The rain is pouring down The emptiness inside Is growing deeper still You're so far away And so alone You long for love's embrace To keep you sane To make you whole Try to stay alive Until I hear your voice I'm gonna lose my mind Someone tell me why I chose this life This superficial lie Constant compromise Endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice Over the distance We try to make sense Of surviving together While living apart Striving for balance We rise to the challenge Of staying connected In spite of circumstance All you've forsaken And all that you've done So that I could live out This undying dream Won't be forgotten Or taken for granted I'll always remember Your endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice |

We're taught unconditional love
That blood is thicker than water That a parent's world would revolve Always around their son or their daughter You pretend I was your own And even believed that you loved me But were always threatened by some Invisible blood line that only you could see You took advantage of an outreached hand And twisted it to meet your every need ''Gimme time to re-charge my batteries, I'll see her when she's older and I'll bounce her on my knee'' Well listen to me you ungrateful fool Her comes a dose of reality You'll go to your grave a sad and lonely man The door is now closed on your pathetic little plan On and on and on an don it goes It's so easy to run away with nothing in tow How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the nerve to blame this mess on me Never in my life have I seen someone So Ignorant to the damage he has done You're the rotted root in the family tree I tried your 4 bill therapy I tried to make amends But nothing could lure you out of your selfish shell again Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet Don't you see respect is not a one way street Blaming everyone for all that you've don e wrong I'll get my peace of mind when you hear this song On and on and on and on it goes And with every passing day true colors show How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the balls to blame this mess on me Never in my life have I seen someone Oblivious to the damage he has done You're the rotted root in the family tree Watch where you walk Don't you dare cross the crooked step Watch the way you talk Don't cross the crooked step On and on and on and on it goes Chauvinistic, heartless, selfish, cold How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the balls to blame this shit on me Never in my life have I seen someone So fucking blind to the damage he has done You're the rotted root in the family tree |
