Just heard the news today, let yourself down once again
Trusted your feelings in a place that no one goes Will you do anything, to satisfy your so-called friend? There's something you ought to know, before you explode All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows Trusting those around you is an easy thing to do I'm not saying don't believe in someone that you don't know Just don't go on thinking that the whole world tells the truth It's all fucked up, being reserved and quiet She doesn't understand the message that you send Don't give it all away somewhere, sometimes there's someone Who can replace that state of mind, you never give it time (never) All I want to do is make sure you stop chasing rainbows Letting everybody crawl inside your heart and mine Kicking you is easy when you're down that's where the weak go To release their anger on someone who will not try To stand up, and give them a fight |

There was a time when you would come and go
Now there's no time left to react Just as it starts to heal in comes a bitter end Well you were already to leave my side and then... You're coming too close and I can't pretend That I'll pick you up or let you come in again We've been through this before, so please understand That nothing in this heart can save you from the pain you seek If you pick up the phone please don't call on me No one can save you from the undertow Nobody can blame you for the past Just as I started thinking "Everything's alright" You showed us surely that your tenth time was your last You're coming too close and I can't pretend That I'll pick you up or let you come in again We've been through this before, so please understand That nothing in this heart can save you from the pain you seek If you pick up the phone please don't call on me Yesterday I saw you falling to the ground Seems like things get worse when no one is around It's not OK You're coming too close and I can't pretend That I'll pick you up or let you come in again We've been through this before, so please understand That nothing in this heart can save you from the pain you seek If you pick up the phone please don't call on me |

So many different things you can do with your life
So many different things if you have the time Give a little more, give it your best shot On the right track you can't be stopped All the things I said that I would do All the brilliant ideas that slipped right through Sometimes we got to get on and climb aboard But I was one day late and a dollar short Don't miss the train, don't miss the train Don't miss the train, don't miss the train Don't miss the train, don't miss the train Don't miss the train, don't miss the train It could be the only chance we have Have you ever sat and thought about other things? Living on the street, hanging by a string Letting people take away your name Letting people push you into your grave What you gotta do is stand up for what is yours Breaking all the barricades, smash the doors If the chance comes around to save your life Remember, opportunity doesn't always knock twice The decision is ntirely up to you So don't watch the train just pass right through There is another time that you will meet in life But the second visit won't be nice So now you're walking in your sorrow on lonely tracks Hoping for the day the train will come back Light on in the tunnel just up ahead The train is back but now you're dead...TOO LATE |

Yesterday becomes tomorrow leaves you wanting more
So intricate becomes the bathroom floor And even though you're in a ditch you dig a deeper hole And I feel like I'm a shovel cause it's out of my control Promised a change, didn't hear a word from you Don't hold me back The exit isn't somewhere in my heart A promise of pain, we're back to the start The reason that I still persist it's obvious I care Been waiting by a door with no one there It seems like you are locked inside my key don't fit no more And you're walking on the land mines you laid down before Promised a change I didn't hear a word from you Don't hold me back The exit isn't somewhere in my heart A promise of pain, we're back to the start |

It used to be easy to listen to people
And take everything with a grain of salt But now that I'm older I still hear voices I do not wish to be involved I don't want to be involved With the incinerator anymore that lifestyle is such a bore Find the door I want to leave this place Can't take it anymore Locked in a room and The flames are burning down around me And now I see the door But I won't find a key It's kinda sad but i'll never find A better place to be I'm not feeding the fire anymore It makes me want to keep it locked inside You got the gasoline but I don't have a light I wanna hang out it's not a good time I'd rather be somewhere that I could find People that don't live off the words That are said by someone else Cause talking shit is so bad for your health |

She loves him just enough, to be lad there
Spread eagle exposing her love Her sighs and moans meant nothing to him But a girl must do what she must do. Hail To The King And his court of love Was it love? Or self-imposed lust. Hey, it's not your duty to me I'm just a boy, not a king It never felt right from the start Speak to me, I'll understand Now it's over and in the past About the future, should we laugh? Regret it, try hard to forget it Learn by our mistakes and try not to forget. |

This conversation sickens me please let me out, I'll take the bus and though I try to understand, I didn't know how can you say that I'm a fool when all I do is help well I guess I'm a fool but I know that I'm not you pawn that feeling is dead and gone Pretend your invincible and no one can save you from yourself pretend you're a super hero, a fucking zero trying to save the world Please don't remind me of the past it's much too late to work it out and though I see the positive, I hear the doubt go off and hide your lie away, these words are obsolete and I'm crazy to think that you can wake up and come around the silence is made with sound Pretend you're invincible, there's no one to tell you that it's wrong they're all just as scared as I am, it's over someday soon it wont be long |

She was confused and abused in this life
Emotional and violent moments Seemed to take the longest time Every single knockout, dragout Firght they ever had Apologies and dignity denied to lie with SUddenly psychotic eyes Every night she cried herself to sleep She didn't recognize Her own face in the mirror Black and blue, so afraid Intimidation Like a child she hides away He would always try to justify what wasn't true Justified black eye Taken for granted, she sleeps by The phone waiting for a call >From him, but it seems he's never coming home 14 beers later he is there without an answer Once again she questions his Lies, he goes to bed with No reply Tomorrow morning, different story And he'll be a differenty guy He'll justify her black eye With another lie She packs her bags in great temptation He's on his knees, again he cries A hug and a kiss and a don't know why As a tear drops from her swollen eye Apologies until tonight and another Justified black eye ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Unlucky seventeen, already handed plans for the future
Glamour obsessed, told how to dress, and shown how to think And I don't have a job, but I can show you how to be a slob So many days, wasted and glazed Sometimes I laugh aloud as I think about, You asking me "Please can you help?" Can't help my self I'm not your savior, I'm not who you want me to be A cowardly mistake I've made so many times before, refusing to break Cut my losses ties them with you, like a good boy I'll pretend And promise not to do it again Do you remember when, life was so simple and permanent? Everyone's changed, "Everyone's cool", Everyone sucks But I can't seem to complain, Exciting and new is just not there You're getting scared I'm not your savior, never thought I was anyway I'm a void with empty promises that backs out late Never said I'd change, taking back the words that we spoke Like a fuel tank running dry, you'll believe it when I choke |

Old pirates yes they rob I
Sold I to the merchant ships Minutes after they took I From the bottomless pit But my hand was made strong By the hand of the almighty We forward in this generation Triumphantly Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom All I ever had, is songs of freedom 'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs Redemption songs Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our minds Have no fear for atomic energy 'Cause none of them can stop the time How long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look Some say it's just a part of it We've got to fulfill the book Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom 'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs Redemption songs, redemption songs Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery None but ourselves can free our minds Have no fear for atomic energy 'Cause none of them can stop the time How long shall they kill our prophets While we stand aside and look Yes some say it's just a part of it We've got to fulfill the book Won't you help to sing, these songs of freedom 'Cause all I ever had, redemption songs All I ever had, redemption songs These songs of freedom, songs of freedom |

It's been so long since you've been here, and I'm dying Is there something you would like to say? Just drop the present on the shelf, by the flowers And make the feeling go away Looking back I can't recall, who was listening When I used to walk the streets at night Like a bird that used to sing, I was flying I was happy all the time, and it's hard to look back Better days and different ways I can't explain Another song to sing it all was simplified Don't know what it's about, what have I learned to live without? It takes a day to live a life I can't believe the way the world is so different Look what the lines in my face have made Living in my bed I'm right next to the road The one that goes the other way, takes me to a different place Did you know, that I was just as young as you I had a job, a home, a family, and a car Did you say that yesterday or just right now? You'll never know the feeling of my bleeding heart Did you say that yesterday or just right now? You'll never know the feeling of my bleeding heart |

Monday morning you woke up crying
The outcome of a stupid line, oh-oh Said by some asshole on the street It wasn't me, it wasn't you It wasn't anybody you knew, is it Your old friend insecurity? The one companion that stuck by your side since you were born Tuesday night you were in a fight The same old argument, black and white It's something that's eating your inside It's not the food, it's not the booze It isn't anything consumed, so is it Becoming a problem you can't hide So every time yo uthought that you were wrong you were right The devil on your shoulder gives you strength in paranoia The countless times you call a few Your best friend till the end of time They'll always be there by your side Solidify conditions you've abused What that means, you'll never have a clue More than just a life-long friend No social life, I guess we can pretend It's not like I care, but anyway You always wanna leave, you never wanna stay 'Cause you think if you drink too much then you will lose it You'll drink your security away The one companion that stuck by your side since you were born The little voice inside your head, annoying and confusing That somehow tells you what to do Socially you've lost your mind and basically you're out of time You try to build so much, it breaks on you What that means, you'll never have a clue ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

So sorry son, you're worrying your mother
No explanation's gonna make it seem all right Young boy, listen to your father It's more than just your life, it's more than suicide How does it feel? When you're looking down the barrel of a loaded gun Tell me how it feels Did you see your life flash right before your eyes? Stop playing games and get yourself up off the floor Young boy, we're gonna send you to the lions THe men all dressed in white, when you became undone How does it feel when I might have brought you up But you are not my son So many times I tried to bring you up, you brought me down I won't consider you again, stop looking at me like you care I worked my fingers to the bone I'm not your father or a friend You might have lived here once, but this is not your home Tell me how it fees You don't mean much to me, I didn't plant the seed I'm not your father 'cause you didn't turn out right Young boy, we're gonna feed you to the fire It's more than just your life, it's more than suicide How does it feel? How does it feel? How does it feel? When you're looking down a barrel of a loaded gun... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

I couldn't understand why you left me standing here flickering out like a candle in the wind memories are laced with shame there's no intention of working out the problem that remains the same Little children standing in the hall never taught them anything at all if you were young again, would you do it different? or keep on making your way trying to find the fiction in the fact of life? Try to believe the words that you said to me are true but something else assures me I'm not through been denied so many times and so I'm told to sit back and ignore the truth, enjoy the ride Never took a hand with her to school take a guess then tell us who's the fool and you're not supposed to be my responsibility maybe someday you'll regain your pride and realize life is too short not to try...

Everytime that I leave it's like goodbye...Forever Angela don't hate me No matter what they say I'll always love you Don't believe the authorities Angela believe in me Remember when we danced together And I promised you the world? Well, I'll have to take that back Because my whole life has been capsized In a minute all the colors turned to black My heart was killing me And no one could hear her scream at all Let's runaway, if only for a day...I'm guilty Angela I'm sorry I've failed you again And this time it's for good Don't believe your family I'm in hell, and you're leaving me Angela I'm sorry Angela believe in me |

They will mislead you, plug in and bleed you
I swear I heard the DJ say "Swallow temptation", believe the answer Is in the order you obey I know my purpose isn't on a poster sign I'm still part of the game that any number can play Majority vote, identity? No! Top forty reasons to spoon feed Immunity lost, full price at your cost Industry living by disease Imagine, idolize and idealize A dream a nighmare couldn't change Any number can play The sound remains unclear, There's little left to hear except contradiction Looks like somebody made our mind When history repeats the hit that I've heard for my whole life Bring back request to radio, Your favorite song was written but you'll never know A selection for us to see a blind conspiracy Another version of the imitated tune and not one soul was saved Any number can play |

with words its so hard to construe the images follow a dream through a song the nightmare has finally come true rhetorical speeches are made on the screen to shut us up and rest assure an obviously panicked media machine is testing the will of a country so unsure mission complete we lost control suddenly frightened by it all to put it simply we will never be the same there is no redemption in this war so please don't forget what this is for cause that's how our history is made security caught with their hands in the air the lock on the gate was destroyed now everyone rises from the lassiez faire we can empty the cup but we cannot fill the void without an enemy to kill the blood of the innocent is spilled to put it lightly we are not one and the same prepare yourself for disaster now so few are sane here anyhow i realize that words don't justify the pain set up the guillotine and televise the execution we have to ask ourselves, can we feel safe? you can't spell believe without lie |

I can pretend for you, that I mean every word said it's true
That I'd probably rather be like a stranger in disguise And act as if nothing ever.. Died or faded away, got lonelier with age And time isn't on our side I'm sorry to take the thoughts that keep you awake And make it seem like they're overrated You certainly talk about me more when I fall down And when I get up, my time is never enough Loved in front behind my back hated I guess it has everything to do with luck I can defend the truth but I sound like white noise to my friends As I raise my glass to you In a stupor we speak words That couldn't be more honest Lies we lived before are fights without a war I'm dead when it's in your head I'm starting to think that all the buoys we sink Are cutting our chances of being saved I see that the end is all we have to let us know I'd like to believe in something more than a dream For when the will to be one has faded I guess the truth will soon be deceived My friend that isn't there, My solitaire. |

I see you have lost the ambition to love
When did you get so hard and callous? Things are good today But I think I've had enough Here comes the part where you turn off the switch Everyone's dumb, Taking the wind out of your sails Victory claimed, this is your song How will you sleep when you're alone, when they are gone? Over and over just like a broken toy Heard all exuses, what makes you do it? You pedal back for miles, just to claim your prize He is the exit, to your home built on lies Nothing is true How can you expect them to stay? Undefeated, who did you burn? Cannot be taught, everyone's hurt, nothing is learned. |

The days are full of storybook romance
the myriad of thoughtful acts A million ways I'm into you I'm never getting over you I'm sorry for exposing you I know you hate it when I do But I had to write one for my better half The days are new, the nights unwind You break my world, you change my mind Run out of love, come down from life Run out of pain, my life has changed It's obvious it's all been said in cheesy poems and chick flicks The mushy shit that people say, it makes us chuckle everyday So how can I express to you the recent dramas we've been through I wouldn't have been fine without your help The days are new, the nights unwind You touch my world, you change my life Run out of love, run out of life Come down from hate, the world has changed But we may never have met if it weren't for him Hey Derrick, maybe somehow you're listening Today's mantra is gratitude You changed my life I'm sure you knew I'll never forget the words that you said The life that you lead I'll never forget, I'll never forget |

The walls are closing in This is the space I used to say The line is drawn for you each day But every day you show With sound of caving walls Some day this song will have no pulse And I'll cave alone But there we are Waiting for your answer Your arms speeded elation Beating out your salvation But when the tape stopped you were gone A half measure from home This week I recreate Edit you back into The blare that could define you Coveted by few who knew The phone rings without pause This grief wills everyone All I have is our shitty song How could it ever be enough?

Moments from your end Inconceivable dread Inches from your head I can't bear to imagine you In that horror scene One too sad to be In my mind's eye I am there Embracing you so scared Now you kill me too You killed me too Decidedly willing to lie for you Absolutely willing to cry for you Ill at ease in saying goodbye to you A part of me will never know I am there, again, intervals of red An accomplice to Things I couldn't do In a fable disabled I say words like foolish son God what have you done I'm a thin blue clich??????짤, hopelessly I'm a mouthful of doubtful Decidedly willing to lie for you Say again Willing to cry for you Finally saying goodbye to you A part of you I'll never know Looking through the spyglass in a punctured sky While your garden died You couldn't see the sky for your fallen stars Endless in your arms You were still alive even as the sad astronaut |

In a chalk dotted line
Draw a kid, left behind Severed limbs in harmony Strumming from a few good deeds Carry it to survive To a bed half alive Held before a dozen times Deep inside a funeral for a friend Runs in portions like film clips Run, run Rundown the list The memoirist Like kindling Burn, burn, burn, burn down I will stay inside The saved It's a good mourning They will ignite you The doomed I will write for you Of a boy, damaged goods Of a bench, understood For a spell, the soul resides In a yellow chalk outline Carry on the camel's back Have another heart attack To the cure I would drive Played that scene a hundred times to date Today's ambition, to relate In a sustaining saccharine state Impart the burden and get well It's what everyone's trying to sell Anything you want to be Weigh the screenplay and revise Warp, warp, warp with the contortionist So hopelessly ill-fated everyday He will stay inside The doomed It's a good mourning to loom They will inspire him The saved Innocently filling graves |

How does it start?
When does it end? Blood and love graces everyone You only want to touch it once He didn't give it up She wasn't long enough They didn't save your falling smile He never had a chance But there it is You're finally blessed And you can't handle it The worst What did it say? All you really need is love But you're gonna make those fuckers pay You're gonna hurt someone That's all there really is The ones that don't survive They lied to you a thousand times And your starving heart has died But there it is You're finally blessed Failure, failure, failure A cement frown breaking Allows a straight line blown away It fell at thirteen You're wide awake Hours blind every winding curve You start the fall from grace The worst You never had a chance But here it is You're finally blessed |

We colonize a better place
(Unable to transform our fate) We follow whatever path grows (Directions no one knows) Given the choice for normalcy You seem content in who you've come to be They said he re-installed his plague (Said to have re-vamped that limp vein) As if it all ends formulaic (Painless escape) We share the same virus of love and hope And it's a fleeting beauty You did everything you could You were there for him through bad and good So disappear before you follow suit The parasites, they are still there to swallow you Beating through an obtrude chest Every emotive plea's a stretch No praise enough to build a life (No words to instill pride) And through your life disorder rides I did everything I could Mostly there for him through bad and good I disappeared as always waiting for the born-again call The one that signals to us all This bender's over again Listen for one last faint heartbeat (Holding his hand in hopes he breathes) All of those sad years have come to this (Your head lay on his sunken chest) The thought of you at his deathbed The latest virus in my head Unjust, unjust Selfless you tended to our ghost Katherine an unconditional untiring host Well you were there for him when he needed you the most I hope someone restores your heart I hope something restores your world |

I'm sick of everything, I can't get out of bed
Just lay here, someone pull me out I'm tired of these thoughts, the world moves outside Feel like a ghost, rejected by the living Everybody is so impressed with the things the say I take a look at what a joke it is and then lock myself away Come on ego you fool, I see your apparition in the doorway Beckoning me, promising to be here When the planet lets me down, you'll still be around Unconscious and awake, miscounting all the sheep Too late for a peaceful night of sleep A nightmare comes and goes, I can't remember it It's sinking, the holes are filling my ship Everybody is laughing at the man out on the blow I'm learning now that nothing in common Is better than finding out Come on ego you fool, I see your apparition in the doorway Beckoning me, promising to be here When the planet lets me down, you'll still be around I'm sick of everything, I can't get out of bed just lay here like I'm dead |

Up here sedated in my seat,
Can't wait until i can see my feet And run away from stupid things i've said I'll be here a few days from now, We'll talk about it when i come down If we make it this time, I'll clean the stain i've bled Our worlds collide in new beginnings It's an emergency permission to bail out So when the heart crash lands, What memories will survive? I thank my black box that i'm alive I feel unlucky today, can't wash the panic off my face Didn't learn a thing from the last time I'ts so selfish to be so confused, Heart beats like rapid fire So close to the edge but far away in mind Two days to go until i see you Looks like we can call the ambulance down there My head is touching down i've learned to be afraid I thank my black box that you're the same |

Alone on stage without song
so where is jesus now and where do I belong What is faith if there is no proof? The answer is the same but not for anyone, the question lingers on So out of desperation Humans do their worst the find out what that is A mystery known to many as the divine... it's their dime If What they wrote is what he said, to equally forgive, We read the whole thing wrong And guidance should be used like a tool When it gets handed down It tends to get so damn confusing for a fool And every word they preach is only opinion That's why our love divides itself into a thousand pieces Like bullets shot in vain, without sight |

Fall into nowhere, fading out
Afraid of who we are, get used to it somehow Like sad and distant memories Time is something that we never can replace A long and fucked up road but everyone's at home Where it's dysfunctional and safe You can hide inside your kingdom where the guards refuse to change Without noticing the doubt in people these days faces tell the story of a broken heart, Together we fall apart Is anyone alive in here? Acceptance has become a common state of mind, We love stupidity, it doesn't hurt as much It's worse to feel than be out of touch This is failure through conforming Paranoia is trend as life hangs in the balance of the weak-minded Free prescription of placebo for us all We only stand when it's safe to fall |

It's funny how blind faith often is used
Like a net to fall on in desperate times Like a crutch for regret as a last resort I won't let emotions take me And rely on this fence that's fallen on my head Guilt is an entity of its own fall from grace And self-worth is their reminder To feel out of place in your own home Another excuse to divide us and keep the siege at bay As long as thoughts are suppressed we'll think the same |

I don't even think a book could say enough for you I can only try my best, to put it in a song I guess You try to speak, I know you tell the truth If I could freeze our small amount of time together Then we could make believe this world would never end (make believe this world would never end) Unfortunately truth is cold So you stay young while I get old But always know, I'm your best friend Nothing is the same Everything is a better change Sometimes I see silence in your eyes Let it all crash down When it ends it begins with you I'm gonna learn every time you do And I'm as scared as anybody who has done this I wouldn't give it up for nothing free You took my life, turned it around And put my feet back on the ground I owe you, eternally Nothing is the same Everything is a better change Sometimes I see silence in your eyes Let it all crash down When it ends it begins with you I'm gonna learn every time you do I'm always I'm always I'm always here I'm always I'm always I'm always here Nothing is the same Everything is a better change Sometimes I see silence in your eyes Let it all crash down When it ends it begins with you I'm gonna learn every time you do |

And words have been kept so small and still And yet if the great opinion speaks Then sadly we nod our heads and agree Barely a mention of your name On deaf ears a distant whisper Whatever, no one gets it It's already overdue you will not be heard by many now But I'll always be amazed by every sound your ever made While building a tolerance to them You made sorrow sound like a good friend The well where the poison pen was drawn The same place you trusted then but was gone Enemies battled in your mind Until all the blood shed leaked down Dried up and rusted the fight It's already overdue you will not be heard by many now But I'll always be amazed by every sound you ever made And since I did not know you, I can only say but a few words Too bad they won't hear your song that I've been singing all alone |

... I hope that I can seem flawless to you
And always take away the pain that you'll go through My impression is not always what it seems You're more of a reflection of what I used to be ...So why do I feel hollow when I look at your photograph? You take down my fortress and kill me with a smile Please hold that thought a while And I'll try to put you on this path I hope you find the road I couldn't see You won't be by yourself I'll live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone Don't worry now it won't be long Once I was you I thought the world was safe A new perspective; everybody is insane Protecting you is a paranoid excuse I know that you'll do better than I could ever do ... And thoughts of self-destruction Are now all buried in the past You take down my barricade and melt away my heart If loving hurts so much I want this pain to always last I hope you pass the test that I have failed You won't be by yourself I'll live for your problems and think of you when I'm gone Don't worry now it won't be long I apologize to you for the words not spoken yet Don't want you to look back and live in regret Some day you'll ask me why I was away... |

And time is not impressed with your complaints Try moving faster just to get ahead of everyone your misconceived beliefs are killing you faster than anyone It's been so long I can't remember getting kicked around like that If we all follow our dreams to live the easier it seems But the truth we are slowly fading fast Simple minds are hard to please When denying the fact your life is not a test You have to let it go before you get it back I'ts been so long I can't remember getting kicked around like that If we all follow our dreams to live the easier it seems But the truth we are slowly fading fast I don't recall any time that you did it by yourself I look at a photograph of you and everyone that you take is a fake And if this ride is so long then i just haven't seen the proof The picture isn't you |

Here's another, drink to cover,
Every word you say. Fine excuses, It wasn't you then, Sorry, my mistake. So here comes the part, Where the stunt double plays. You ask somebody else to take the fall and blame. Building bridges, Playing with matches, Burning yourself down. Find the exit, Before they get it, Take the easy way out. So here comes the part, Where your stunt double plays, You have somebody else I think we imitate. Here comes the part where your stunt double plays, You ask somebody else to take the fall and blame. |

Staring out the window she sees glimpses of last night
And everyone is silent but speaking through their eyes Walking to the bus stop where the court of judges wait To sentence her to live her life Like she should always be ashamed Been around so many times it wears out what you are Accepting sarcasm and false sincerity As words that people mean Rejection redefined by giving up just what they're after Someone would tell you If they could speak above all this laughter Think you would learn somehow the time just isn't now Got a reputation now and no one's holding back Wearing scars on your sleeve, so exposed to their attack All her friends have pulled the plug on respect and reserve Behind her back they prey on weakness It's not what you deserve Shot down, humiliated, pummeled by their words Devoted you lay down with misplaced loyalty Its misery you seek No longer called by name when everybody's got your number When dignity is gone That's when depression drags you under To depths you didn't know beneath and under No longer called by name when everybody's got your number When dignity is gone That's when depression drags you under To depths you didn't know beneath the undertow |

Here he is, he saves a grin
He wants to be the one who doesn't have to sink a level Indiscrete, in his retreat All he needs is just a taste of the bitter pride He held in her name Embrace the solitude in ordinary fucked up state of grace Far away from the days he bared the cross she used to wear In some resolve well aware A little pitiful, a pin up boy they dress in grieving wear Well at ease in consent in the drift of undertow He won't justify the pity from them When he knows....fools in love are arrogant Their sermons cloud his breathing air He's in love with an isolation from emotions Here he is awaiting sentence A fool to think that anyone can escape guilt and anguish A subtlety that can't be learned A subtlety that can't be taught He is caught in the lure of second thoughts He might still care As he settles down well aware Bound in secrecy. His voice will only dignify their But his sorrow is signified Well aware of his pride |

Would it make you feel much better
If it was you against the world If you were an alien If it were conspiracy? And would it hurt to live in comfort If you found someone to trust If you knew that you were with us If we shared a common goal? But you will isolate, alienate No one can appreciate The poor miss understood Can you see that I don't care anymore? Do you ever stop to listen? Are you a martyr for your pride? Does it make you feel much better When you are an alien? Cause you will isolate, alienate No one can appreciate The poor miss understood Can you see that I don't care, I don't care, I don't care anymore? |

The turn out tonight is weak
The crowd is looking meager Only 40 to 50 in the flock but 3 more beers and I'm playin' Woodstock And you can probably see that we're not all that tight A couple more drinks will alter your sight That does not mean fight I'm not saying I have to be drunk but tequila shots make it more fun I'm havin' fun (Chorus) Oh, Beer Goggles I love to put them on Next to eachother at the bar She's thinkin' he's the one I'm thinkin' where's my car She thinks I look good Obviously she didn't smell that fart "Oh, what kind of cologne is that you're wearing?" Hey man, it's a start "Hi, my name's Barbie" "My name's Ken" The perfect couple 'cause we're drunk in the head I'm drunk again (Repeat Chorus) And one size fits all!!! |

You think you'll show us all your handicap is great You've got a think about being lost You think with our concern you'll find yourself And you'll never be forgotten Your family never wanted this one with all of her flaws She's trailing far behind she's feeling incomplete She has no will to win, listening, I live inside your room And you punish me as though I punish you Dumb, before it's done I am saint, will you tell me now I never could relate to how you've been forgotten Your family never wanted this one with all of her flaws But I want to know was this deprivation of money or of love [pre-chorus] This is the last time you will be denied girl You want that world that they took away Go pick up the pieces find inner strength 'cause I can't save you Find the life you left in a box the world, you said has cut you off [chorus] Bombs await you, bombs away Now let them all fall down You carry the burden, it fills you with regret, you never finished That feeling incomplete, you carry their baggage, the guilt that holds you down [repeat pre-chorus] [repeat chorus] Bombs away now 'cause life's been so hard and so long That's why I'm writing you this song |

You won't find me condescending at your closed door you won't hear how I feel. say you've been there before the holiday's the hardest time to fill in all the blanks and you don't need anyone to show you those mistakes wrap yourself up in only math of our world fill up the holes in your full heart with details for all the riddles solved and every puzzle you complete can't seem to find the pieces to the heart that beats you'll master every task but always by the book then log it in your past with risk that you once took they left you then, they'll hurt you now can't get too close to you or you will cut them down and any fool can play I'll raise the stakes with another turn we risk, we roll and we burn at arms length you never get hit there's too much to gamble when you let someone in my true friend I'm spewing and only one more positive I just might spill some notable insight I didn't think before I purged so here I am attempting to unlock your closed door I wouldn't break it down 'cause you'd be gone for sure you might say something nice of me and send it in a card or under whiskey breath slur kind words at the bar and you're sinking me while you stay afloat in the tank you built we drop, we'll never learn

Well, the monkeys in the trees are happy
The coconuts are turning green The coconut boy climbs up to the top of the tree Gathered a nice ripe coconut Put 'em in a coconut sack He climbs right down with the coconuts on his backpack And the wind blows through the coconut trees The monkeys, they hang on tight The cuckoo bird sings at the 'Huc'alaa hula' tonight When the wind blows through the coconut trees The monkeys, they hang on tight The cuckoo bird sings at the 'Huc'alaa hula' tonight |

I'm getting used to getting old but where's my ambition - Days of
omission I feel broken down inside because my words seem to be trite adding to the overwhelming Always a question of truth your truths question my efficiency Shocking - The words you can't hear Impact - The words I can't write Recycled words don't justify... none of these words suffice searching for the sharp words to drive the message in I put the last words down then I begin to question the truth |

Hello, welcome to the show thought we broke up years ago what's up, I just shit my pants gambled and I lost good times, just blew out my knee I've fallen and I can't get up oh shit, I think I broke my back where's the wheelchair? I'm old school I'm played out osteoporosis, glaucoma and neurosis the vultures circling above our balding heads second verse, the same as the first I forgot the words again railer, lost my inhaler who's got a smoke for the caper? hold on let me catch my breath all right, I feel better now take it to the bridge I'll never be ozzy on stage when I'm fifty I'm gonna look like elvis by the time I'm forty we're already bogus we're already fading we'll never be the rolling stones I'm staying home dementia and senility my failing muscles atrophy I've lost all ability falling apart blue hair, brown teeth failing livers, defeat maybe we will try to pull it off for another year

Trying to ignore him
Trying to have self control When that tongue slips just once It's in his eyes Thank you... Silence by energy Push me down And the likes to come again Here to make you listen to them Treated to many times The eye for eye has left us blind This creature of demise Repaid all the time You hate them You hate yourself Take it out on someone else I feel a change within myself I used to be out of control I always knew anger and pain That inspiration was a game But now it seems as I grow old As I mature I'm lesser bold I can't believe how cruel and cold some people act I give it back Cause I don't want it and I don't need it So I give it back Cause I don't want it and I don't need it Don't want to understand the child abuse, the past gone violence Don't justify his violent nature Soon or later I hope he meets his maker once again And like his father before him he kills himself Cause I don't want it and I don't need it So I give it back Cause I don't want it and I don't need it You hate them You hate yourself Take it out on someone else |

One summer morning
He left us ashamed In some small town of small ways The one they feared They might turn to stone They feared to hold his hand And he died alone Don't leave them on - an island of shame Your solution You - homophobic You - coward You send them away to an island of misery You're not immune to any disease I can not argue when the truth is plain to see In your beliefs, your fear of death I see reflections of society We'll take our last breath - alone Adding insult to injuries - He was alone |

As you in this search for something to hate
I can feel you rally around someone with your peers but can you stand alone Can you take the long way home Cause I stood in the circle a hundred times before and I feel safer in the eye of a storm You can throw your stones I'll only bleed for you one day They all answer to the hearsay but they will only care for one day It's so small and I would love to show you all I can see you in the middle of a doubt You told them we had a falling out Sick your dogs on me as you take the easy way out So I will be a freak show when the circus comes to town and I will rain on your parade without a sound Then we will draw a crowd that's only breaking down for one day I graduate this calss with honors I will never fail drama Making Friends Will you still hate me tomorrow? |

No more waiting on them
As you rise inside new rooms It's offical you've gone You can live for no one else Man the guilt must be huge As there's no gain in failure You succeed at being mine Yeah, old friend, see you there I will be proud from afar I can paint a picture In a moment of memories And there aren't many left I am extradited, uninvited It's just another saturday It's just another saturday Take a step to freedom You and her against this cruel world Take a breath of shelter and exhale Trust and allegiance Liberate yourself from us It's just another saturday |

Late, I can stay up late
In and out of bed Cleaning up the mess Trying to be honest Cause I know I am on it In this, the last time I speak of it The loyalties that have been broken Mine isn't dead One thing is true Nothing is scred When everyone's talking and nobody's listening When we confide in all those friends They're just messangers One thing is true You throw the matters into blue skies Turning to grey Falling out every day One thing that's free I confide in you with the truth Late, I can stay up late In and out of bed Cleaning up the mess inside my head |

I'm all right tell me you're all right almost there barely here I knew that this day would have to come wailing on the wall watching giants fall I know there's a message to receive written in debris it's meaning's hard to see the loss of innocence means nothing in the new world all our hands are red everyone is guilty now I'm all right... tell me you're all right stop my eyes ... open wide another idiot glued to the box frozen to the screen scared to turn it off quiet shock gives way to righteousness rattle on the bars vengeance will be ours fanatics on their knees pray for a swift and just revenge become what they condemn mirror image men hands across america, let's catch contact hysteria our flag erects from broken homes july 4 for evermore colors of democracy fly from every suv the misspelled bumper sticker's here where did all the honor students go? numbers on the news this time with familiar names this time on familiar ground this reality in your back yard so the fences fall will you redefine them all? will you choose shelter or empathy? the world we share has come too close with borders blown from glass we collect stones and cast them they say the party never stops but I know we cannot get off another idiot comes on the box breathing privileged air preaching to the fair rallying one muscle under God leading on the cheer leaning on their fears the state of ignorance means nothing to the faithful God is with us now they disregard the world beyond the wall

I've been living for years in question, some obsession
Was I less to live with no answers, as a life cried wolf I'm ashamed to mention my anguish, but silence lies empty If I say it again can I kill it, will you lend me your ears Breathe in breathe out exhale, acting sweating A broken smile provides them a view, projection is nothing new Just once I would like them to feel it, suffer in my skin For a moment stand in my shoes, filled with swelling blues [chorus] I keep this room, and this room keeps me, chained to my organs I am quarantined, to a place that's dark, staring at three walls The door is locked to them Maybe now that they all know it, you'll find solace As you're drowning in narcissism, or is it self-loathing You fought it all in your head boy, psychosomatic They used to humor you now they pity you, and nothing's changed [repeat chorus] The door is locked behind me, if I say it again can I kill it 'Cause they're sick of my complaining and i am sick of being sick Maybe these will cure you completely, chemicals deeply Saviors until you're dependent, don't let them go to your head I'm ashamed to mention my anguish, but silence lies empty, silence lies |

Hi, it's me I'm bored again, all is well I'm not insane
I've been drunk for seven days, everything is fine I made some friends, broke the ice, then I ate some bread and cheese To gain some weight, keep me warm everything's okay. It's me, delivering psychosis, over the phone to you I color your world blue, ten thousand miles from you I'm sinking all alone, treading new waters, We're is my buoy? The van smells like a dirty sock, everyone has got the flu I'd rather be sick of you, I'd rather be asleep It's me, delivering psychosis, over the phone to you I color your world blue, ten thousand miles from you I'm sinking all alone, treading new waters, I'm missing my buoy When I get home, the band will have, it's first hit song You and I, will buy some rings, and a suburban home I'll bring home, the bacon bits, we'll make our parents grandparents I'll take you out, to breakfast at night, and then we'll go to sleep |

Friday night's the perfect night to mow some neighbor's lawn,
And Dave is drunk and at the helm before too long. And Chris will gladly ride shotgun, 'cause navigating seems like fun, Drunk and out of gas, they drive around and crash. They're driving through your yard, there's nothing you can do, Dave's behind the wheel, and he's had more than just a few. Suburban families slumber in civility, Awakened to the sights and sounds of the yard they're blowing down in their death machine. Drive, drive, drive, drive, drive, drive... Dave's a midnight landscaper, and he's working overtime, And he is full throttle--full throttle tonight. (Alright!) He was almost home, just one more block, he had to hit that last mailbox, Dumped it in a ditch, ain't that a bitch? (Stoking the neighbors!) Came time to run, came time to bail, He was having too much fun to spend the night in jail. He had no "Triple A" for a tow truck, Called them anyway: Goleta, hear them say, "Hey pal, you're fucked!" Dave's a decent guy, like most of us, until he drinks, And then his liquid mind takes over how he thinks. And then all that matters is having fun, pulling off the next beer run, On one too many nights, the party's over. He's driving through your yard, there's nothing you can do, Dave's behind the wheel, and he's had more than one or two. Suburban families slumber in civility, Awakened to the aftermath: the neighbors have been stoked... |

One more time, falling on new ground
bracing a chase lounge, i'm a member this one truth, i can be discrete words that escape me, i remember clarity watching eyes, i can't see i can't read passion-less vacation youre not telling anyone the sum falls in a whole it's chemistry chemical Follow the pattern if you can stick around it will change again One more line stay focused hollow, why'd I feel sick? misunderstanding tempting tolerance you're not telling anyone, I'm not telling anyone this sounds atrocious, the miles horrific I recognise those last words, ill hang on to mine lying out in the sun keep it like a secret Hell, It may seem not full well all dried up and here comes the chemist again, this is everything I am. |

I am just another fool, and I have to, keep telling myself that I am just a hypocrite, and I have to, keep calling you one Cause I forgot to bite my tongue, and my assumption, is the mother of all mistakes But I assume the role, open my mouth, and clumsy words escape So why you, wanna be there, when you could be here, you are slipping away I awake to your replacement, a bottle in my mouth, in an unfamiliar place Because you put me out, the butt of a sick joke, into this ashtray life As you come and go, cause I forgot to service you, and we broke down And you can't live with my mistakes, but I assume false grace Open my arms and grasp for something true How are you, how have you been, girl I miss you, wanna see you again Oh why you, wanna be there, when you could be here, you are slipping away I bring out the worst in you, and you try to let me know You bring out the worst in me, anxiety, anxiety I'm trying to let you go, you say I'm giving you the creeps But I assume the role, open my claws and grasp for your heart How are you, how have you been, girl I miss you, wanna see you again Into you like a mortal stake so vindictive Your love's slipping away Violins, into this ashtray life Violins, the butt of your sick joke Violins, I'm trying hard to let you go Violins |
