When I beat my head against the wall of convention
the blood I taste is everyone's I fought a battle thought unpopular for stakes nobody seems to see nobody sees but me one step forward two steps back come on and try me my pain is the pain of children my heart is burning with their shame when mother cries all day I'll wipe those tears away you can't grow up healthy in a house of for every father holding back the angry fire until five when it festers on the drive his boss has shamed him to tears he should "take it like a man" but he never had a man to tell him |

How are you feeling?
How does someone like you elude the moral quarantine does your repression only server the greater lie as you abuse and objectify all the emotions you defeat you've got the world at your feet because you think you've silenced all the critics of your misogynistic lies but when you wake up from your reveries you'd better realize you're a model of virility a specimen divine as you deflower you empower the false ego trapped inside and by the virtue of your "conquests" you've endeared yourself to those who you hold in high esteem you think you've silenced all the critics of your misogynistic lies but when you wake up from your reveries you'd better realize you've got to rectify that attitude you're a hopeless case and now you're too late you call her a whore she's just the same as you though she could never be that shallow but you just take what you can get and you throw the rest away another notch in your belt another score another lay you're taking she's giving you're losing you think you're winning you're time is running out now it doesn't feel the same ORAL SEX PLAGUES SOCIETY!!!!! |

Do you believe?
We can make a change Will you believe tomorrow? Or will it slip away? Black and white We're all the fucking same Demographics Keep up caught up in the game Violence What the fuck do you expect? The cause has left us Leaving nothing but effect The laughter has subsided Leaving hatred in it's wake In a nation trusting no one Sworn to bend but never break America is burning Look around it's in the air But I'll be the last believer Just as long as I still care And I still care What's going on? What's happened now? Show me a purpose Please show me how Desperate times One thousand symptoms One disease Government tradition And genocidal policies Don't look back Don't wait until history repeats No, no more lies No more bodies in the streets |

Like a weathered statue
I will wait for you like the darkness fading waiting to see it through like an ardent cry wakes me from the silence of my sleep like a distant bell like a man who fights the system fights to keep if you have to ask the price you can't afford it there's nothing free in this world there's nothing free in this life like a super hero I'll try to save the world with an anesthetic to lift a thousand fingers like a man accused I'll weigh the consequence like a man afraid of the madness just beyond the picket fence |

True freedom
they give us no slaughter too sacrilegious the smoke clears on bloated bodies I feel safe now do they want me service we fought there in the jungles I saw nothing I felt no enemy we died there in the foxhole my companion lay bleeding in my arms so proud pride so quick to murder for posterity hatred trained to operate manually |

I had a dream that I woke up in a sweat
another self-inflicted nightmare I will not forget I felt a light I saw you shine something's wrong I felt that tremor in my soul that memory one last time this is the light this is the way where the darkness keeps the sun away this is the light this is the way this stream of memories that carries me away I know my head at least I thought I did I'd take a silver bullet through my soul if I could give this phantom friend this runaway train of thought somebody's been following me through every trial I've ever sought never sought these tears leave scars as they run down my face I'm changing I'm leaving now I'm leaving for a better place |

You try to tell me where your heart is
you say there's nothing wrong and the honesty in your eyes tells me that I should be strong I don't want to get wrapped up in morbid reflection because that's a pessimistic space and the situations I imagine are lost somewhere in you face because when were together it's bittersweet now your with him and I miss you I feel somehow incomplete I try to stand on my own I take it one day at a time and if you ask me how I'm doing I bite my lip and say I'm fine well I don't know I can't sing can't sleep do anything I just know I'll be there waiting for you to come around I know you tell me all the time that I worry too much but not a day goes by where I'm not thinking about you what we had what we could have if you just give me one more chance I miss you and it's so bittersweet |

What should I say
I guess things didn't go my way but you insist on shining light on my greatest failures fallible is me but you can see this isn't my reality it's just the way things go for us someone out there saying "life just isn't fair" but it's the disappointments and the great mistakes that make you wiser and what about the times you set me straight and still left me waiting at the gate it's just the way things go for us I'm sick of trying at your way did you really think I'd make it anyway I pulled this splinter from my face and found another worthwhile cause to take your place I woke up ok it's just another rainy day and I'm feeling the same way as you |

They put a parking lot on a piece of land
When the supermarket used to stand Before that they put up a bowling alley On the site that used to be the local palace That's where the big bands used to come and play My sister went there on a Saturday Come dancing, all her boyfriends used to come and call Why not come dancing, it's only natural? Another Saturday, another date She would be ready but she's always make them wait In the hallway, in anticipation He didn't know the night would end up in frustration He'd end up blowing all his wages for the week All for a cuddle and a peck on the cheek Come dancing, that's how they did it when I was just a kid And when they said come dancing, my sister always did My sister should have come in a midnight And my mom would always sit up and wait It always ended up in a big row When my sister used to get home late Out of my window I can see them in the moonlight Two silhouettes saying goodnight by the garden gate The day they knocked down the palace My sister stood and cried The day they knocked down the palace Part of my childhood died, just died Now I'm grown up and playing in a band And there's a car park where the palace used to stand My sister's married and she lives on an estate Her daughters go out, now it's her turn to wait She knows they get away with things she never could But if I asked her I wonder if she would Come dancing come on sister, have yourself a ball Don't be afraid to come dancing, it's only natural Come dancing, just like the palace on a Saturday And all her friends will come dancing Where the big bands used to play |

I can feel my bones decay
I haven't got a thing to say I never thought I could end up this way maybe I should have known but now my cover's blown I've been up for hours but my feet never touched the floor I can't pretend that I'm as funny as all you're friends so I'll keep this lampshade on my skull for one more night I've got a project car I've got a VCR I've got a hundred friends but I don't know where they are my life's a fantasy I'm just a wanna be another throw away contemporary enemy did you want me to be the life of the party I've made some mistakes so stop kicking yourself because I blame me it's still the same nothing's changed |

I never knew how good I had it
I had to treat you like a habit it became what I'd guess you call a slight obsession now I've had some time to work it out way too much time to be without the one I've wanted you're my right direction when you're back there do you think of me when you're alone before you sleep you are the one I'm waiting for this time's not like before I'm going to carry you away thinking good things now I know we'll work it out somehow I try to keep my chin up but it's so hard to let you go it never hurt before to be alone now your voice is salvation on the phone I only wish you weren't so far away |

When it's time to start working to reconstruct
a life programmed to self-destruct when it's time to set your sights on something better when all that you've known is the emptiness of being alone when friends start drifting away sometimes it's better to let go it only hurts to hold on to time worn memories sometimes it's never what is seems it only serves to break your will I had a dream last night that you and I got in a fight I never meant to hurt you but I guess it ended up that way we went our seperate ways and I stayed mad for six whole days that's when I realized when I'm alone I'm in bad company I want to help you but you've got to want to help yourself I don't want to bury another friend I take it day by day and watch the people I love just fade away where's the good in this? whatever happened to you? |
