51 days without a trace or an indication
That his God would soon be here To take them all away Waiting for the final day and for the God Who never came They all ended up in flames CHORUS Moved by the power of a charming leader With the love of God and the hatred of humanity Led to a place where he could hide and lead The blind, only to find tragedy Having his way with all the women 'Cause his death would soon be here Living his life in a dream 85 people, 23 children, and a lot of them were his His to the end, never be free CHORUS He promised them eternal life If they'd walk into a fire Now we see the charged remains Apocalyptic funeral pyre I guess he got what he desired All in 51 days ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Life must be empty when living a lie
With something to hide and nothing to show You have learned nothing but how to destroy Things that friends who love you couldn't leave alone Someday it's gonna hit you between the eyes That we're not sixteen years old anymore One day those people that used to welcome you with open arms Will see you coming and hide, then lock the door People that listend to you were afraid Even friends that knew you as a kid Now you are sorry, but you'll never change Change the things that you already did Someday it's gonna hit you between the eyes That the seeds have already been sown Find your own garden, because you still need space to grow Until that time, you will remain alone Don't try to come around with your pathetic lies, 'cause I can see it in your Eyes that you will always be the same and you will never change the past That you have brought among yourself, and this is why we have to say Goodbye, it's time for truth and not for lies...that you have always told Your trust was bought and sold, you're all alone ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Sometimes the news bums me out
It doesn't get me off the couch where I belong I guess as world problems never seem to rest Am I afraid, God, yes I am Won't somebody tell me why my TV Claims we're born to die like this Communicate, don't seperate Don't instigate a world of hate Comtemplate the situation Negotiate those lazy ways We've gone to far to slip away Situation is an open invitation And all this time we've had to change it Now it's time to face it Lazy, I am Realistically, what can I do I'll leave it up to the rest of you Yo uwouldn't like my point of view anyway How can I stand aside and watch the wear world go by? It's easy, you see, when you haven't got a window Just a screen ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

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 taught you a lesson, how to be afraid
And how to understand your life is not a game It's more than a lesson, now you can learn no more from love Even with that wisdom in your mind, there's still that Poison in your blood You wouldn't touch the breakfast that I made for you How could you lie? Losing weight, you look afraid, you're scaring me I wonder why? Victim of envionment, I cannot stand aside and watch you die Everyday you went to school trying to maintain your cool With people sitting far away from you No lesson learned here, prejudice prevails You're an outcast to the ignorance of other people's metal jails Soon you'll be free, yo ucan live again, my friend Darkness is better than this life you live Sympathy I give to you, that is all I can do I'm sorry that you're stuck here with this fatal flu There's not much I can do They taught you a lesson, how to stay away Victim of your solitude, one out of ten And one was you, victim of society's Incurable disease, the fatal flu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

How many people, how many have died?
I'm feeling lucky and afraid at the same time How many times have you sat home and wondered why? We always hear about the U.S.A., but not the other side In fileds of agony everybody dies How many humans, how many does it take? We get a cedar box, they get a body rake How many lives does it take before we can end this war? Bring Johnny home soon, he forgot what the fuck that they were fighting for In fields of agony I don't wanna die or be sent home on a cargo plane A tag on my toe without my name because I'm one of a million A million... How many weapons, how many do we need? What about the economy, what about the economy? You'll be the hero at the end of your catastrophe It can't be stopped with unity, with collaboration of you and me And human dignity In fields of agony ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

When we came here it was done, I felt completely useless
Never learned to quite adjust, and all along they knew this Carousel would someday stop and throw us off in anger I guess I didn't think I'd ever see this sitcom dramedy They wrote the script for us already It's not the time that makes us guilty It's all done, the hatreds built, the walls divide And when I die I'll leave you with these Animals that think the future's in their minds IT's in their minds, but they're so blind And so I leave it behind, ecological man-made crime And so I leave you behind to these miraculous, intelligent Incredible, extraordinary minds Junk mail stacked into the sky, recylced paper and plastic Then we said that we would try, decreasing figures were drastic But it didn't do much good, nobody cares about it Not much emotion in my neighborhood, my apartments made of wood I haven't given more than I could It's not the time that makes us guilty It's the ones before the ones that lit the fuse Cancer-causing smog injecting in the vein That makes the world go round so fast And you won't last, it's in the past ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Monday morning you woke up crying The outcome of a stupid line oh-oh Said by some punk-ass 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 you thought that you were wrong you were right The devil on your shoulder gives you strenght in paranoia The countless times you called 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 |

MR. Elite Your older now Inside your head lives an old scene MR. Punk Sad and hating everyone Your exucuse is old The way you felt has left you hating yourself Cause everyone is so confused You never worked for a cent Self0destructive you pay your debt Cause you miss another time when all your friends were divine Now all of them have gone or changed Do you still live in angry days? But when you've lost someone you love When your mask is taken off Does life cut you down to siz? Does it open your eyes? Because they all have found their way as you struggle through your maze You built those walls of hate Don't tell me it's too late |

I can't recall the hurting words that I once said
So long ago, still indignation clouds your head And it's enough to know the pain of losing friends You perpetuate certain senseless hate and I can picture you today as you say "I used to know that guy" And as you speak they watch your face split into two And when you see me it's always hey Joe, how is it goin' bro? where have you been man? We used to be such good friends Two-faced you don't care You know what you can do with it I can't pretend and you just want a war man and there you go again You ought to bury the hatchet and leave behind all the lies and your disguise You know that I just want to bury the hatchet How much more will you permit? Think about it you'll admit you a Am I really that bad? Sometimes I second guess Often times I wonder why my head is such a mess But put yourself in my shoes and picture if you can All these insecurities create that bitter sad man you see hurting Not me I forgive, I forget I won't say the things that I'll regret Not this time I will stop, but just between you and me it's a loss Hypocrite Don't give me that shit |

Too many hangars in the closet
A clutter of confusion Too little rectitude to hold a moral absolute Too much distinction to relate to them Irresolutions we contemplate with no end In this world of give and take And what we refer to as maturity from emotional need to technology has you, a cultured seed of your society, lacking ability to feel clemency I'm surprized we still bleed into the abyss of despair that's hiding the child Compassion you would not dare admit to have experienced Do you regret looking back? A penitent confessing his sins The child inside of me recalls a time of purity, an outlook of release You remember Confident that you were able A future laid out on your table Running through memories a child is free The world restored you see I see The child inside of me |

He grew up with nothing
He lived and died poor a father of four He left his family temporarily for a future based on words of chicanery They said join the Army Join the Navy He joined the Marines and his children were proud but exhaltation was exhausted and patronage died when this expendable number left his family of five Imposture and all that man wanted was to provide a better existence for his kids and wife An investment that cost him his life A family of ethics has... A fatality of war can't be noble enough to justify the loss of life so young Continental security Atonement, there's no such thing There was no hero in the end Only letters of resent, remorse, regret Bitter resent Imposture and all those boys wanted was to be alive, a return of existence yet so many died and those who returned were alone with nothing awaiting at home Again the headlines read "A Noble Soldier Finds A Noble Ending" They are the ones who can be done without Expendable numbers forgott no doubt A family of ethics has died |

Nothing's changed Nothing's right He has no sense of pride Sees no respect in his parents eyes and why should he care? No one ever cared for him? Wasting her nights and days Sixteen with a child God wouldn't have it any other way And then they told her of shame and that impurity made her bed no fuckin' CHOICE She took two lives instead All these worthless nights Al Down the path I follow you because who am I? Denial I still care but it's my life in despair Laughing harder In self-concious I've played my last solitaire That shirt's too tight to wear Wasting my days nad nights Nothings changed Nothings right I know I'm not exactly the parents guide to living but it's the road less traveled in this world so unforgiving and I've lost count of score |

Can't you see
we the people can make the choices You and I must raise our voices To build a future where we belong Revoke oppression and right and wrong But do you vote or do you only complain Do you just carry on in vain As your economy crashes, your country goes to war The deficit Their answer to tax the poor But you may never know what you refuse to learn Do you work the system or do you get burned? Do you ignore your abilities or your intellect? Are you obse An easy out, you forget it all but it's the hardest path and you chase to follow You wouldn't speak for yourself and now you're spoken for This is something you can not ignore It's time for you to notice the things that die with no more lies You can't deny You're always high and you still bitch Makes me sick It makes me sick the way you always fuckin' bitch I remember a time when I thought it wasn't fair The scales of justice did impair but with no darkness theere would never be light there would never be light Without injustice we'd never have a right |

Trying to have self control When that tongue slips just once It's in his eyes Thank you...

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 |

Look at the world in disbelief
You used to follow - now you lead College has enlightened you And you are proud to be different And like different bands - different types You ain't nobody's fool It's like certain bands remind you of someone you hated 'Cause they didn't wear the right clothing And there's only one true fashion Alot of the bands on the college charts are great bands Until they get signed. Then you hate them It's such bullshit - you used to love them you hypocrite Know it all, know it all Did you really listen to that song? Could you ever write what you call wrong? I remember you and I listening to bands that we liked Only the songs mattered to you But now you're a D.J. and preaching that hype ""Corporate Rock Sucks"" ""You know, college radio enlightens you"" It's supposed to serve as a means to expose new bands Without prejudice, but it makes no sense Safe harbor for the underground 'Til the alternative becomes the popular sound The bands are good 'til they make enough cash To eat food and get a pad Then they're sold out and their music is cliché Because talent's exclusive to bands without pay Know it all, know it all Did you really listen to that song? Could you ever write what you call wrong? Know it all |

Blood of his arms A growing sense of duty But in his song he's screaming out Insuficient - he just falls further Behind Principles, purpose, tradition, time Weigh heavy on this guilty Mind Wits astray Blind in rage, awar he'll wage on grieving Another no one hanging from the ceiling Because only the extreme makes an impression When drowning in the mainstream One at the mercy of another's faith finally answers to no one in his fall from grace They say they love him but how could they ever Miles above him they ask for repent It doesn't matter what you want from me Don't think there's worth in my apology Because people never really change You and I will always be the same and it's a problem that we can't mend Because it happened once it will happen again Because they plant their seeds of condition Until we have no choice, we lose conviction wits astray Blind in rage a war he'll wage on grieving Another no one blows his head off Because only the extreme makes an impression When drowning in the mainstream no one |

They make your bed, don't they
Long ago they fought and died for faith - what's changed ? It's said that we've acquired tolerance to build more bridges Cross those rivers, yet modern man enslaves his conscious and the undertow of blame still flows between Give it birth to the machine - hostilities of ancestry Slow to understand the variance - quick to judge on one aspect - rust We call them fools today - they will call us fools in days to come - always In any age it's ignorance He that he's not with me is against me The river of pride swells to high, washing those bridges out to sea Give it birth to the machine Too proud to love - Too proud Soaking in your fears - rusting away Never comprehending - always condescending Slow to understand the variance - quick to judge - quick to condem Carried them for years - stones that they once cast Place the blame on them as if it were their past Yesterdays distrust Resent, Regret, disgust Still we pay for their living - pay for their mistakes Who will cast the latest stones of hate Pay for their misgivings - pay for their living - still we find that on the surface there is rust |

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... |

Now it's simple to me
Sometimes you have to let go when there's Next to nothing You say everytime she says no There's more pain then love It comes o shove almost Everytime you speak Somehow you fight Something's just crazy Somehow it's taking all the life left in you You'er losing ground Carrying that torch Your not asking for much As she has... Had time to heal And she doesn't need you any longer an you... Had time to drink And you call her to tell her you've gotten much stronger At three in the morning she says stop calling cause... Everyone's asleep Some of us work You're driving me crazy When will you get on with my life Now every nights Friday night Picking fights with your friends Somehow trying to make amends So you seach for comfort in a friend It's not the same she won't understand You both learned to think alike So what was so wrong Where's she tonight Out there drinking while you're left in thinking It's taken all the life left in... You You're losing ground Carrying that torch You're not asking for much Still somehow You'll wait for her You say she'll return But you still carry that torch That girl |

Countdown
Another body found for the government to ignore Another home is lost from someone who was poor Another cop caught beating up on innocence Another law that seems to make no fucking sense Another person tested positively to HIV Natural disaster is just something we don't need Another politician's life remains a mystery Another mountain side that we cannot see The media has built a fortress or what is wrong? Newspaper headlines, do they tell us what is right, I wanna know exactly what the fuck is going on All around our minds Just a matter of time before it comes here to this town The clock is winding down Will I see it broken before I lay down and die Another wall is built between color and race ...countdown Another fact is not exactly what you read Another chemical is dumped into the sea Another wrong decision about peace is made Another piece of land that just could not be saved Another day, Another pain, Another misery Another education that could not be paid Another killer in the street is roaming free I've got a feeling, I've got a bad feeling inside |

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 |

Just read an article on clogging arteries
Renewed subscription to my health food magazine Don't wanna die young, paranoid about the future I'm only 19 and I'm a health food connoisseur Right now I'm sitting in a room I could be lying in a box if I don't eat right Some people tell me what is good and bad for me I don't trust anyone but health food magazine Mom makes me food that sucks and I refuse to eat Lock myself in my room, lose thirty pounds a week Stay locked in your room all day, Your warped imagination Stacks of books are piled high, with useless information Let your anxiety tell you what is good and bad for you Let paranoia tell you what to do You always say that it's a hazard to your health Why don't you put your fucking fear back on the shelf Because the only hazard I see, the only hazard I see The only hazard I see is yourself Signed a petition to get smokers out of here I got the figures on second hand smoke death rate every year Can't go outside my room, you know I just can't leave I'm too afraid that I will get some weird disease My doctor tells me I'm a hypochondriac He claims he can help me, but he'd stab me in the back Been all around my room, There's nothing good to eat Health magazine with ketchup is my new delicacy |

She was corruption when I was destruction
I'm seein' through her eyes like cellophane It used to be I'd see her face and feel so small Now the only face I see is the picture I'm throwing darts at on the wall Where did she go? When loneliness is all I had to show If I couldn't trust her then, who could I trust? The pillow is wet with tears and permanent rust Just when I thought I was out of the dark I'm holding her tight and she breaks the light She was dead in my mind, but her ghost is still around It comes back to haunt me, it doesn't want me It just happened to be passing through my town It took so long to realize the truth I resent every word I said... That's when I knew, one and one don't make two! I knew that sleepless night when she never came home She's probably drinking somewhere knowing I'm alone The road to nowhere is a long winding street Maybe someone will be there at the end, But it won't be me! |

Another morning and I'm awake
The same old thing on a different day I want to drive but my tank is dry But the ground is wet with rain Greedy people are pushing me Needy people in misery It's a push & shove community But how the hell can I complain On the other side of town People are sleeping on the ground Look not far and you will find A tragedy, the daily grind Seems like when the times are tough That hope is down and the price goes up There's not enough jobs to fill a cup And the streets are filled with shame Here I am in a traffic jam And ugly faces stare me down They call this the right side of town But still I can't complain On the other side of town People are sleeping on the ground Fighting wars that can't be won Twelve year-old boy with a gun Look not far and you will find A tragedy, the daily grind |

Buildings will replace the trees
Pollution will replace the air we breathe I'm close to the mountain, just miles away But I can't see the hills from here today We can't just let it pass us by And as I look into the sky Something in the atmosphere is telling me it won't be here for long Take a picture of this place cos extinction is not so far away Our skin will fry like a steak well done When there's nothing between us and the sun We can't just let it pass us by And as I look into the sky Something in the atmosphere is telling me it won't be here for long Until it's gone - Until it's gone Until it's gone - We'll never miss it until it's gone, gone, gone All the efforts seem to fall With cars and cans of aerosol I feel so guilty, then my pride will die When I see the grey, self-created sky Until we find a better way We'll have to learn from all our big mistakes Something in the atmosphere is telling me it won't be here for long Until it's gone - Until it's gone Until it's gone - Until it's gone You'll never miss it until it's gone, gone, gone Seems like a letter that we cannot send Fells like aluminum we cannot bend Tastes like a mixture that we cannot blend But we must change the course of the recipe to the end, to the end |

He knows no shame, and takes no blame
This simpleton, sees everything He's only satisfied, To point out other's mistakes Never afraid, to use his pride His tradition is old, His faith a hand-me-down, the family He wears them on his sleeve, Morale and values left under a christmas tree He once had the gift, This image in his grandparents eyes No guns, no drugs, no rape, no end This vacant soul, is pale and blue, In empty gaze, his crow's feet are A vision of defeat sick And tired of the meaninglessness The irrationale he's desensitized, His every need and emotion A cup half empty, But full of euphoria he's, Searching for the light switch in the dark, To switch his routine To find a reason, To find faith in piece of mind When one to many beliefs die, It's tough to see through these black eyes Everyone forgives everyone forgets Everyone is true And no one here will lie to you He knows the truth, He knows the truth, Here nothing's certain Disregard what you've learned, To find faith in piece of mind All of their gods died with his peace, I should know him that heathen?s me |

You've got a think about being lame
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 |

And now you're searching
For that new messiah It's your greatest passion, To set'em up and knock'em down Put them on a pedestal idolatry, Wear the ring you're married It's all yours to their envy, Because you hold a higher key of senses And they are drawn like magnets, To a genius, it's confirmed Chorus Set'em up and knock'em down, Tour taste is so accountable This is no great loss, And sharing never was a choice It's burning on your cross, It gives you credit and a voice Here to relay tour beautiful ideals Vicaruiously through them And when he died too many were sympathetic, And they are all pathetic So you dethrone your king, Without listening, without ever listening And Jesus Christ is realized, As he burns on your cross But this is no great loss, Another one will come The wait is short the search is brief, You find another faith, Another Clark Kent, another Superman, Flashing in the pan [repeat chorus] And now you are searching For that new messiah It's your greatest passion, It's the latest fashion |

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 |

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? |

I know they'd like I remember every drunken night at the old dive Driving the ol'wreck Trying to make it home somehow One more pit stop at our favorite watering hole The ghost of Christmas past swallowed all our pride We'd open up our story books and water down the eyes our demons raised their glasses singing "I propose a toast to my friends" Who's buying the next round Cup half empty Cup half full Perspectives and beers They weren't failure Just the regulars of my favorite year They come and go paying their toll From mobiles homes Decaying old unsound minds The ghost of Cristmas failure dancing to the click of time The beating of defeat Shaking in his hands a lifetime of retreat And his regrets were ours A time to say good-bye I've been waiting so long for you to call my old friend To all my friends... |

As you expect here as the keys
So come and go as you please Wath's mine seems to be yours Welcome to my drawers Today I heard them say a funny thing They were happy you were clean You were headed for success in the mountains of excess Today you fail them Tomorrow more Maybe I'll lend you some more cash Don't have to play it back I can depend on you Dependent on everyone Why am I guilty of my bending back Over to breaking The object of some desire Too late Too late Today I'm saving you I must have finished my last care with that beer With some ideal I might win while losing That's some mentality I have to finish talking I'm finished talking Today I heard a funny thing Tey were happy you were clean And you won't be looking back to the one that helped you pack |

I hope you didn't mind when I saw you
turn into nothing less than nothing new before you wait to sleep it off... how little is enough? what can you do? before you decide to make the last mistake with draw away from us and say good-bye to all but one that takes you puts you to rest on twenty-seven street nothing will keep you warm everything bring you harm everything here fails you now lying at your feet everyone nails you everyone worships you everyone here fails you I can figure it out and it's all about to... turn into lack of wit on sinking ships I might have jumped but you jumped first abandon ties that bind there's no salvation here I'd surely miss the times when we were so depressed no I miss you I know I miss you and you are missing something you take a rip and then you find sedation some salvation a masochistic only point of view nothing is left to you everyond speaks the truths everyone here fails me hope you didn't mind when I saw you |

The TV's broke
Her cheeks are soaked The drink is empty And now he is everything she hates Her lowest day It's all the same It's all the same This house is drowning in inevitable silence And it's always been on In another born sick love Never made her question right or wrong In a see of failure he's numb Upstairs disgust Small words cut through what once was their trust And then he gots everything he wants Silent treatement She's out of breath There's no one left around He will have regret when there is nothing left to say And it's alway been on In another born sick love Never made him question right or wrong In a see of failure he's numb It's already killed me That's aleready killed me It's already been there That's nothing new I overdosed I dug an hole I buried them and died with you In a sea of failure and I am numb |

Lost yourself it didn't take much time, it wasn't hard to find now that you've been to the edge, stood and looked down from the top and found it wasn't worth the pain, a selfish way to say I'm the only one that counts and happiness is out Really insecure, disguising what's inside you're not cool to me I wont wait in the back of the line No one knows exactly where you went, the maoney has been spent sent the search team, I'm about to call it off feel you close when you're so far away a straw inside your vein as it sucks the life from you I watch it all come true When it happens like a million times before I wont close my mind but I refuse to open the door Feel the world ALL caving in, you had so much left to give is it worth the tide you turned, all the people YOU HAVE burned? So long to your little friend this is how the story ends I'm the only one 'cause nobody cared anyway Hate yourself just like I thought you would, it didn't do us good I'm afraid of being right so before we say good-bye to you come down from off your throne and let the truth be known we all know you're not insane, it's how you play this game Really insecure, disguising what's inside it's not cool to me when the game is a fake suicide |

Don't take it so hard, we're not against you it's really not that bad, it's just that they want you to think that it is I'm over the past but I can't defend you so I'll say it one last time before I leave that life behind It's easy to abuse the friends that end up screwed just take one for the team, I hope you're happy It's hard to believe that once there was something there's something to be said for sinking the ship that I wanted to sail you don't have a clue, you never can and never will but I'll suck it up and lie, with all my dignity and pride These words can't say it all, you're feeling ten feet tall and stronger everyday, I've learned to walk away So easy to confuse another lie that's true you'll find out for yourself, I hope you're happy |

He doesn't know what's wrong it's been this way for much too long and nothing could be easier than blaming this on her kicking in the womb she brings in up he leaves the room walk away all he has to say you got what you deserve It's your fault I don't think that it's even mine and I guess there's not much in his little mind it's a shame when it happens everyday He doesn't stop to think that every bottle that he drinks is just an additive to ignorance hence problems that exist lay down on the bed and dream of glory days instead not egocentric attitudes solved problems with a fist I don't understand why he can get so mad she don't want it either but it's too late dad it's not right and I doubt next time I'll think twice Pretend that they're lovers but she feels like slave how could I even know? She's sinking to the bottom and he can't feel her pain too late 'cause the seeds were sown |

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 |

I'll see you on the outside and we'll never be the same after all that's happened what is it that we've gained? well I've made mistakes before and never lived them down after all you've done for me i'm bound (don't say another word) To see you on the outside where we can both be sane (you're speaking for yourself) I'm bleeding on the inside a place you might have been but now I know I'll (never be the same) Well I heard you got a place and it's far away from here reality has sunken in now confirming all my fears I'm not gonna track you down and it's too late to stop thinking 'bout the time that we have lost (I'm happy without you) I'm trying to forget you and everything we had (we didn't stand a chance) we're miserable and it's true I haven't learned a thing but now I know I'll trust no one else (There was a time when we were back and forth, it wasn't easy) I guess that we're back where we belong one thing is for sure, it wasn't strong I'll see you on the outside where we can both feel shame (you've never been more right) I'm dying on the inside, you're never coming back and now I know whatever we go through my heart is stuck with you |

Covered up your insecurities with everything showing everyone exactly how you think mad no difference, I can see right through your best disguise you look like someone else, it doesn't matter where you hide You wanna empty clips on everyone around and burn their fortress to the ground Socializing makes you sick from drinking everything and if looks could kill we'd surely all be dead maybe sticks of dynamite would solve your problems now underneath my feet, was it something that I said? You wanna empty clips on everyone around and burn their fortress to the ground Someday soon you'll have your way and everyone will leave you all alone you laugh at everyone's mistakes, trapped inside a mind you call home You wanna empty clips on everyone around and burn their fortress to the ground |

Sitting in the lazy chair, the channels look the same I realize that the roof is stable and start to feel ashamed it's cold outside but don't ask me the weather's fine in here ask the man around the corner who lives his life in fear Two hundred pennies, forty ounces later he's okay he doesn't have the pressure to think about the next day but I bet it's something cold and hard and grey Complaining and whining all the time, I never seem to quit always lying to myself, a shoe that seems to fit never is a long time and it feels like I'm a clock ticking like a time bomb, someday soon his life will stop I listen to the radio but nothing good is on my friends are calling up but I'm pretending that I'm gone we're all pieces in a chess game, he's a pawn I wonder how it turned out like this, no one seems to care the scale has tipped me fortunate is this what we call fair? but I've never had the mind to no it, never had the guts to show it I know one thing, his dream is my nightmare |

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... Does anybody care? |

Everything that i've done here into one in keeping with...
Some earned conviction, some stagnation, Some change despair Disappointment and odds In a costume you can't take off I leave it behind. I know that this time i get in for free Our latest rendition lame Reincarnate, return the same Still the best times are her now. Now that I'm bored, now that I'm numb Done, I know this is wrong Safe in that stance but incomplete Leave it behind. I know that this time i get in for free. Some of it's habitual sometimes the change is not enough And in the lost empathy memories of better days |

things don't seem to be as easy as they used to be
it's getting harder everyday to think of better things to sayabout what's going on around you and what's happening inside youwhen it's time to change you won't know howit won't matter years from now no matter what you think or do or say everything turns grey this is it, the darkest hour isn't it depressing how our minds create an atmosphere that won't happen here unless we make some new demands to grasp the future in our hands you know i wish i could but it's too late for senseless minds that love to hate no matter what they think or do or say everything turns grey |

You jump in front of the bullet
The family put you to it You might survive the first thousand shots Back to the end of the line You hold the will to survive them Answer to those you have failed Time to clean your room and show you are able to stop Beating yourself down You've arrived A wealth of respect, a world of a regard You've always belonged You have to go on I just want you to feel the gun in your hand You used to hold aspiration You couldn't see the limitations Even in your youth you were unsurpassed But driven by grief and it couldn't last Sometimes promise Sometimes goodbye Confessed to all through bloodshot eyes I just want you to feel the gun in your hand yeah It only breaks you until you get off I'm not gonna watch you kill yourself to live It's all so average until you get off I'm not gonna wait here until the body's cold I was young too I felt just like you Hated authority, hated all my bosses Thought they were full of shit Well it's like they say: If you're not a rebel at the age of twenty, You got no heart But if you haven't turned establishment by thirty, You got no brains Because there are no storybook romances No... fairy tale endings so before you run out to change the world, (I just want you to feel the gun in your hand) Ask yourself: What do you really want? |

So please leave the light on after you've gone
Leave the pictures in their aging frames where they belong Leave the bed sheets unclean, and they will reek of you still Cover me in resolve So please leave the imagery I can twist it Dissociation and obsession Superstition and pain I can carry them on too, Bury you once again If I could bring this memory to life [I'd apologize] I'd live to make you say what they can't [I would make amends] They'd all love to have you back but... I'd give anything to bring you back to say goodbye "hey steve, I think your singing was a little flat that time" "Barry , why don't you play an 'A' for steve, You Got That Steve? " "fuck this shit" "what's gone into him?" "he can't take criticism" "well great, there goes the band" |

Maybe it's not funny but it's true
No one here's surprised but you Embellish it, the truth is you're a slave Addicted to it's escalating And your love story's bad Drama makes you livid And the nervous way you laugh I'm fresh out of advice And sick of standing in this harms way Interstate, in debate, an impasse Driving out of hope and gas Arriving at the same mute conclusion This destination failure This is going, going Nowhere slow Drama is exhausting and I'd rather be alone I want better friends I'm sick of getting into harms way And so are they Sick of being around something That's destined to fail And the sum of it's parts cannot see They make me hat life, hate friends, Hate being there Iknow, that it's not funny but it's true No one gives a shit but you Maybe I'll just swallow all these thoughts Maybe someday you'll stop |

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 |

Uncertainty
A foundation built on nothing I could see Secure in your immaculate perception The last resort I ever thought I'd exercise Now, all that I have to stand on Grieving from a different point of view I learned it's meaning from you In life and death And continue ...But faith is just a Silent tribute Mine is just a desperate act Give him back I owe him Throw me a line, I'll suspend My disbelief And concede Following your lead Faithfully I'm Led into this concession with hope and doubt A seemingly futile gesture Faith is just a silent tribute Mine is just a desperate act Holding on It's just this desperation that Takes me home |

My inspiration note the sympathy
They've taken everything you want and they left you all alone My setting sun, self appointed, I am a fraud You are the martyr It's decided and I owe you several worlds I can tell you... Rat in the sewer, scraps they left behind Once their visionary, and they all have robbed you blind Your broken records playing for None fabricate song Amputated creative tongue You sing on and on and I can tell you why I'm bringing you down, Calling you out, Taking your shield It's easier now Years have been kind Distance between Has given hind sight I jumped a train Your tragedy so easy to read, Is bitter envy They're reaping all the lowly benefits You missed the train they stole And you've never... I'm burning you down, Calling you out, Taking your shield It's easier now Years have been kind Distance between has given hind sight I'm on a train |
