Staind - The Illusion Of Progress (2008) by Staind (보컬) on maniadb.com

Here we are
Theres nowhere else to go
And thats so far
From where we all could be
But you can't feel like disappearing
And you should take this for what it's worth
This is it
And it fits
And it feels like this is good enough for me
Could it be
That the grass is always green?
There you are
You dream of something better
What's so wrong
With what you thought was true and
All the colors are disappearing
But you should take this for what it's worth
This is it
And it fits
And it feels like this is good enough for me
Could it be
That the grass is always green?
This is it (this is it)
This is it (this is it)
If you feel like disappearing
You should take this for what it's worth
This is it
And it fits
And it feels like this is good enough for me
Could it be
That the grass is always green?
This is it
This is it

I sit alone and watch the clock
Trying to collect my thoughts
All I think about is you

And so I cry myself to sleep
And hope the devil I don't meet
In my dreams that I live through

Believe in me
I know you've waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life's not always what it seems
Believe in me
'Cause I was made for chasing dreams

All the smiles you've had to fake
And all the shit you've had to take
Just to lead us here again

I never have the things to say
To make it all just go away
To make it all just disappear

Believe in me
I know you've waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life's not always what it seems
Believe in me
'Cause I was made for chasing dreams

It's my life, it's my choice
Hear my words, hear my voice
And just believe

I sit alone and watch the clock
Trying to collect my thoughts
And all I think about is you

If you believe in me
Life's not always what it seems
Believe in me
'Cause I was made for chasing dreams

Believe in me
I know you've waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life's not always what it seems
Believe in me
'Cause I was made for chasing dreams

This dark room, another cigarette
The carpet's strewn, I'm getting sick of it
The end is near, I'm in the thick of it
And I'll be there soon, if you can handle it

Just save me, from all that I am
You save me, for the fuck of it
Save me, just hold out your hand
You save me, from all of it

I try to speak myself, you can do it too
I need no ones help, I'm needing only you
So just pray for me, and deliver it
You never take me, what I'm giving

Just save me, from all that I am
You save me, for the fuck of it
Save me, just hold out your hand
You save me, from all of it

And all that I've become is you
The only good in me is you
And after all of this, the day will come to
Find out will you
Take me, or forsake me

So pray for me, am I forgiven
For what you take from me

Just save me, from all that I am
You save me, for the fuck of it
Save me, just hold out your hand
You save me, from all of it
Come save me

Pray for me, am i Forgiven

What I leave, when you go
What I see, and what you show
And what I guess, and when I don't
Is something you already, already know

I can't live without, all I think about, all I want is you
You're all I dream about, I can't live without, all I want is you

The things I do, I go through
And all I see, when I'm awake
And what I make, the shit that I take
Is something you already, already know

I can't live without, all I think about, all I want is you
You're all I dream about, I can't live without, all I want is you

(Is you)
(Is you)
(Is you)

You're all I dream about, I can't live without, ll I want is you

I can't live without, all I think about, all I want is you
You're all I dream about, I can't live without, all I want is you
I just can't live without you,
When all I think about is you,
And all I want is you

I'm one step from a breakdown
Two steps from being safe
Just try to see this through
I'm three steps from this nightmare
And four steps from the door
The rest is up to you

Pardon me while I just turn my back and walk away
Pardon me if I can't listen to the things you say
Pardon me if I can't fake it while you still believe
Pardon me

I'm one step from forgiveness
And two steps from my grave
We're all just passing through
Three steps from redemption
Four from the devil's door
On a path that leads to you

Pardon me while I just turn my back and walk away
Pardon me if I can't listen to the things you say
Pardon me if I can't fake it while you still believe
Pardon me

Pardon me while I just turn my back and walk away
Pardon me if I can't listen to the things you say
Pardon me if I can't fake it while you still believe
Pardon me

I'm two steps from salvation
But I'm only taking one
Pardon me

We change the rhyme
Forget the reason
Waiting for the
Change of season
Drawing near
It's almost here
So save tonight
Forget tomorrow
Say goodbye
To time we borrowed
It's always there
It's in the air

Like voices in the rain
Like a song without a name
Like angel's wings
And whisperings
Of love we lost
And found along the way

Do you take the time
To really wollow
In the footsteps
That you follow
Gets you where
Gets you anywhere
So here today
And gone tomorrow
With the time you
Had to borrow
It's always there
It's in the air

Like voices in the rain
Like a song without a name
Like angel's wings
And whisperings
Of love we lost
And found along the way

Like voices in the rain
Like a song without a name
Like angel's wings
And whisperings
Of time we lost
And found out in the rain
Like a song without a name
Like angel's wings
And whisperings
Of love we lost
Of love we lost
And found along
The way

We found along the way

Misery
The company it keeps
Is for me
All these things
We keep repeating

Like a wheel
That keeps turning
If I could break away
From this moment
Break away
What is real
Never showing
Break away
How I feel
If I could break away

Apathy
The ignorance it brings
The tragedy
Of all these things
We keep repeating

Like a wheel
That keeps turning
If I could break away
From this moment
Break away
What is real
Never showing
Break away
How I feel
If I could break away

Break away
If I could break away
Just break away
If I could break away
From this moment
Break away
What is real
Break away
Never showing
Break away
How I feel
If I could break away
If I could break away
If I could break away

You're my world, the shelter from the rain
You're the pills, that take away my pain
You're the light, that helps me find my way
You're the words, when I have nothing to say

And in this world where nothing else is true
Here I am, still tangled up in you
I'm still tangled up in you
Still tangled up in you

You're the fire, that warms me when I'm cold
You're the hand I have to hold, as I grow old
You're the shore, when I am lost at sea
You're the only thing that I like, about me

And in this world where nothing else is true
Here I am, still tangled up in you
I'm still tangled up in you

How long has it been
Since this storyline began
And I hope it never ends
And goes like this forever

In this world where nothing else is true
Here I am, still tangled up in you
Tangled up in you
I'm still tangled up in you

Still tangled up in you

A piece of glass, in the sand under your feet
It cuts you deep, and makes you hate the beauty that you see
And you wonder where you are, how you ever got so far
Now you question what went wrong, it's your heart

It's raining again
There's a dark cloud, over your head
It follows you 'round, it's bringing you down
It's raining, it's raining again

A wilted rose, your decay is all you see
You buy the flaws, and miss the beauty that is yours for free
Realize you are so far, from the things that matter now
And you only wonder how, it's your heart

It's raining again
There's a dark cloud, over your head
It follows you 'round, it's bringing you down
It's raining, it's raining again

Come on
Come on, get it right
Come on
Come on, make it right
Come on
Come on, it's alright

It's raining again
There's a dark cloud, over your head
It follows you 'round, it's bringing you down
It's raining, it's raining again

It's raining, raining again
There's a dark cloud, over your head

You the great pretenders
Blood to paint your pictures
While you're stepping over
Fallen people
Lying in the streets
You the great offenders
Only your views matter
While your heart grows colder
I wish that you could
Open up and feel
For a while
See if you can take it,
Feel you're alive and this is all part of it,
Feel. Could it be that we're all afraid
Cause it feels
Like a rainy day parade

We the great believers
Blood is legal tender
And I will not surrender
What it was our fathers
Died to bear
We the people stated
Not negotiated
Just to be forgotten
I wish that you could
Open up and see
For a while
See if you can take it,
See, You're alive and this is all
Part of it,
See? Can't you see
That we're all afraid
Cause it seems
Like a rainy day parade

What I see
Is all too real
What I need
Is what you steal
And all I reap
Is what you take
Upon my back
On which you break
And I just wish
That we could
Rise above and

Feel
For a while
See if you can take it,
Feel you're alive and this is all part of it,
Feel could it be that we're all afraid
Cause it feels
Like a rainy day parade

It sheltered from nothing but the weather
I called it home for a moment of my life
This place I see just doesn?t look familiar
I wonder if it looks the same inside

So there?s the corner that I sat on
The road I walked on in the rain
And there?s the star I used to wish on
It all just seems like yesterday

Days go by and nothing?s getting clearer
Can?t change my mind, my troubles are the same
Faces change, the names they are familiar
And the streets I see will stand the test of time

So there?s the corner that I sat on
The road I walked on in the rain
And there?s the star I used to wish on
It all just seems like yesterday

And the star, star still shines
Shine down through the rain
And there?s the corner that I sat on
The road I walked on in the rain

And there?s the star I used to wish on
It all just seems like yesterday
And I stare at this dirty window
As this world goes slowly by

And somewhere out there is the future
That I once thought had passed me by

It sheltered me from nothing but the weather

Talk to me, you never talk to me
Do we suffer from, social atrophy
And when the conversation's over
When the conversation's over

We've taken what's been given
And we throw it all away

Walk with me
Come on and walk with me
Take a look around you
Do you like what you see

We've taken what's been given
And we throw it all away
It's hard to be forgiven
When there's nothing left to say

When the conversation's over
The silence just gets in the way
Conversation's over

Talk to me, don't ever talk for me

We've taken what's been given
And you throw it all away
It's hard to be forgiven
When there's nothing left to say

There's nothing left to say
