TORMENTED LYRICS-

1)Tolerate-
Its been like this forever, No more, I hate my fucking life. I dont give a fuck about all of your problems,
I could give a rats ass how you're feelings today
Take your worldly advice and shove it straight up your ass
Thanks for coming around to fuck up my day. I try Tolerate Good bye, Take me (4x) Look at you, I cant You dont see the whole picture. Take my bed of dirt. Cold and empty, Ill stay. Whats the point of trying to stay above the surface? Take my life from me, help me to ease my pain. I try, Tolerate. Good bye. Empty. Try to see the way around you, I cant find it. Try to take the path behind me
Cant rewind it. Stick your finger in my face. I will break it. Leave me with an aftertaste, I live for it . Try to tolerate. (4x)I cannot tolerate no tolerance in my life (4x)

2)Come Again-
What the fuck? You push yourself on me. You force yourself on me.You free yourself through me. Youd better save yourself from me. Everytime you want me to be, Something I can never be, Youll just have to wait and see. 'Til the next that you have to come again, Come again. This time you will come again,Come again. I hate myself for you. I break myself for you. I kill myself for you. Id better save myself from you... If you have to walk my way. Have something to say? Get the fuck away. Cant take one more day
I can not conform, Come again. This time you will come again
Come again, Kill me...Kill me...Fuck me...Save me...

3)Break
I walk alone, I am alone, I think alone, Ill die alone...
Dont think I can make it on my own. I think I need someone to save me. Such is life. So sad but true. Kill everything
Thats close to you. Try to decide what not to do... You know you can not control me. I think theres no point in
Going any further, Than Ive gone already. Cant keep my hand steady. Sadness, Everyday for me,You cant take that away from me. All these fucking thoughts inside my head are almost more than I can take. You push and push on me. Youre gonna keep on pushing til I break... Till I break...
You think you control me, Have no chains that hold me, Only thing that saves me... Voices just might kill me...
Repeat Chourus(2x)




4)Painful-
I light another cigarette, Stop to think about it, Come to no conclusions. Take each step as it comes, Hold no prisoners except myself... Painful thoughts denied ...
Try to explain, My loss for words, Fuck you, I piss upon you all... My head is barricade, Filled with peaceful thoughts... With evil outcomes, No one understands, Try to break the barrier... I see no outlet. No ones there to catch me when I fall...
repeat chorus (2x)




5)Nameless-
Cant you see me, I fucking hate me. The walls around me caving in. Cracked and gray, Remind me of myself, I need some help. Theres no one else. Im empty, addicted, pissed off and still afraid, Of what you Have left me To live in.
This mess youve made. I feel, Useless, Jaded, Nameless...
The ride is over, Ive come down. Hate to be. Cant rely on myself, For my own health, To just say no... Im fucked up, distorted, dysfunctional and drained. All of my
Deep rooted Fears seem to get the best of me... I hate the way you fucked with me. You cant rely on open eyes to see
You force these painful visions from my head. You wont be happy til I break down.
Repeat Chorus

6)Mudshuvel- You take away...I feel the same...You take away. I feel the same. All the promises you made to me you made in vain...I lost myself inside your tainted smile again
Cause...
You cant feel my anger, You cant feel my pain, You cant feel this torment, Driving me insane. I can't fight these feelings, They bring only pain. You can't take away, Make me whole again. I feel the betrayed. Stuck in your way
And you ripped me apart with the brutal things youd say.
I can't deal with this shit anymore I just look away,
Cause...
Repeat Chorus
Mudshovel. You take away. I feel the same. All these promises, You promised only pain. If you take away, And leave me with nothing again... Cause...You will feel my anger, You will feel my pain. You will feel my torment
Driving you insane. I won't fight these feelings, I will bring you pain, You can't take away, I'll be whole again.
Mudshovel...

7) See Thru All-
What is your fucking problem?
You wanna know what my problem is?
Alone, I walk beside myself. Alone, You put me on the shelf.
Alone, With my insanity. Alone, No one to blame but me. But if you had told me when I was much younger, That life has a way of pulling you right under. Wouldnt be standing here, preaching my hate? Stand at the edge straring into my fate... I see through you. What makes you think that you were God? I see through you. Pick up the pieces as I fall apart. I see through you. Why must you fuck with me this way? I see through you, Wither away with me. Betrayed,
You left me here for dead. Betrayed, By the voices in my head. Betrayed, Left me out in the rain. Betrayed,
Nothing left but pain... Im sick of the answers you have to my questions. Your cannibal instincts and false dedications. You leave me here cold, nothing left but my shell. To die while Im living and burn in my hell. I pick you apart little by little. 'Til nothing is left but the look on your face. Once inside I can get at whats inside
Beneath your facade, I can see your disgrace. The walls that you build up will crumble around you, The pain you will feel as you wither away. The sun, though it comes up, will warm you no longer. Your strongest emotions, Ill make you betray
Repeat Chorus

8)QUESTION-
Which way do I go? Pain, I swallow. I can not keep it down
Hate, I swallow. I can not keep it, not keep it, not keep it, not keep it, not keep it down... Down... You, I hate you. I can not keep you down. You, I rape you. I can not keep it, not keep it, not keep it, not keep it, not keep it down... Down... You before me. I cant take anymore. Of what you have to offer. My ears are sore. Leave my feelings,
In a heap by the door. Cant go up any further. Come crashing back down... Down... Pain, I swallow...I can not keep it down. Hate, I swallow. I can not keep it, not keep it, not keep it, not keep it, not keep it down... Down... I can not keep it, I can not keep it, Try so hard keep it down.





9)No One's Kind-
What the fuck's the purpose? I didn't scratch the surface.
Immune to what you're saying, All along, decaying
Can't see through the fire. Darkness lone desire. Quiet in my corner, Bulding up the border. Can't stand the way you make me feel today. No one's kind is all you'll ever be
Can't see through the rain, Too much pain, am I insane?
Too much time, no sublime. Loss of energy. No symmetry
Fuck society! Lost in naivete. Can't stand the way you make me... feel, (you)Can't take the pain you break me, (you)
Can't bite the hand that feeds me, (pain)Can't take away what's in me. Addicted to the feelings. Lose touch with all I know The cobwebs on the ceiling, Make me aware that I'm all alone. The endless rain washes away. Makes clean the mess I've made.

10)Self Destruct
Watch me suffer, you'll feel better. Stick the needle in my vein. Lost my feelings with my dealings. Thoughts of only you remain. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Rip and tear. In my despair
Agonizing over shit. Feel the needle burn and tingle
My bad habits, deal with it. Fuck, fuck, fuck. I will self destruct. My life has slowly faded. Broke down and degredated. Suffocate in my sorrow. Maybe I'll die tomorrow
This riot that I've sited. Came to you uninvited. Truth hurts when it's in your face. Are you afraid of it? I will self destruct. Think I'm gonna, think I'm gonna, I will self destruct. I self destruct my mind. I self destruct my world. I self destruct my life

11)Four Walls-
The thoughts from my mind command my lips to say I hate you
The thoughts from my mind command my hands to cut your silken flesh. The thoughts from my mind command my feet to stomp your head. The thoughts from my mind have one question, when will this ever end? Not much to the life I live. Same four walls. I have nothing left to give. Please take it all away. Same four walls. The thoughts from my mind feel the pain as rats claw at my flesh. The thoughts from my mind feel the joy as the needle hits my vein. The thoughts from my mind smell the stench as shit runs down my leg. The thoughts from my mind ask for sanity, now for this I beg My mind is like today, Damp, dark, dreary As the rain falls outside me. Going to the ground I can feel it Slipping away. Dying around decay Dying like my soul From the inside out I can only pray It wont be long. It wont be long now. It cant be long It cant be long now. Help me...The thoughts from my mind command my lips to say I hate you The thoughts from my mind command my hands to cut your silken flesh. The thoughts from my mind command my feet to stomp your head. The thoughts from my mind have one question, when will I be dead? This is the life I have to live, Same four walls...I have nothing left to give, Please take it all away. (2X)Same four walls. There's nothing left for me.(gunshot)

DYSFUNCTION LYRICS

1)Suffocate-
I feel nothing. Longing for something. Relax a minute to take your clothes off show me what you're made of Drugs, to sooth me. [All alone Leave me here I'm dying All alone, Just kick me in my face. All alone, All alone and crying. All alone I suffocate]... I'm not gifted, Slightly twisted. Try hard, try harder to see if I can push you any further. Drugs, to soothe me ...(Chorus)...Please believe. You save me rearrange me. I can feel Your feelings running through me. Take away My sorrow, my tomorrow, Cradle me ...(Chorus)... Suffocate

2)Just Go-
I'm kinda numb, It's so distorted. You left me here, with this damage that you've caused. My tortured faces... Those fucked up places... In my memories. None of them I've lost. But, [I haven't been here long enough to know, Every time I feel this, I just lose control. Such a cancer on the face of everything that's beautiful, I wish that this would just go... Go...] It's kinda sick, I feel so dirty... I'm kinda tragic I'm kinda insecure. But I know That I'm the only One that can fix, Whatever's wrong I'm sure. But...(Chorus)...I feel so alone, From all I've become. I'll take you down. I feel so down. I'm water while you drown, You're lifted while I'm down. I'm cancer in your womb, I'm the needle in your spoon. But ...(Chorus)... Just Go... With these fucking lies. All these fucking Lies

3)Me
I hear you talk about your family life. I wish I knew just what that means. I guess my mother never loved my dad. And now I wear it on my sleeve. My sister called me just the other day. It felt so good to hear her voice. My problem is I don't have much to say. I guess she doesn't have a choice And I'm sorry... [Look at me. I'm so pathetic... I Can't believe... I'm just an addict. I never needed anyone to help me, Im begging you. To please come save me from myself. Save me from my...] My mother's always tried to change herself. She never learned to let things be. She doesn't know how bad she messed me up... Cause now she seems so fake to me. But I love her...(Chorus)...If you push me then I won't fall. I've been programmed to take it all. And shove it way down inside. Like my father, Like my father..(Chorus)...I'm so pathetic, Can't believe... I'm just an addict, I try to be. I'm failing at it. Life to me, Is just a habit. I hear you talk about your family life. I wish I knew just what that means

4)Raw-
Raw... The pictures left with me won't fade. These images affect me every day. Cause of you I feel I don't deserve. The life I see in her. Just don't leave me...raw... [Inside I'm so cold, Inside I'm so cold... I've never been someone who knows? My choices haunt me everywhere I go. Finally did something right for myself. My life for you and no one else. Just don't leave me...raw]
(Chorus) I feel so cold. I can't take this, Raw...

5)Mudshovel-
You take away... I feel the same... You take away...I feel the same... All the promises you made to me you made in vain. I lost myself inside your tainted smile again. Cause... [You cant feel my anger, You cant feel my pain, You cant feel my torment, Driving me insane. I can't fight these feelings, They will bring you pain, You can't take away, Make me whole again...] I feel betrayed Stuck in your way. And you ripped me apart with the brutal things youd say... I can't deal with this shit anymore I just look away... Cause... (Chorus)...Mudshovel... You take away. I feel the same... All these promises, You promised only pain. If you take away And leave me with nothing again...Cause,You will feel my anger,You will feel my pain,You will feel my torment,Driving you insane... I can't fight these feelings, They will bring you pain, You won't take away, I'll be whole again... Mudshovel...

6)Home-
I force myself through another day. Can't explain the way today just fell apart like everything. Right in my face... And I try to be the one, I can't accept this all; because of you, I've had to walk away, From everything.... I'm afraid to be alone...Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone... I'm afraid to come back home... Another sleepless night again, Hotel rooms my only friend and friends like that just don't add up, To anything... And I try so hard to be, Everything that I should never take away from you again Cuz' I heard you say. I cannot forget, I live with regret, I cannot forget. I live with it, I live through this, I can't see through this,I can't do this anymore

Chorus

7)A Flat
Trust in me can't trust. I know, I don't believe it. All my life so scarred. What for, you can't conceive it? Everything you fear. I'll be, you couldn't live it. I whisper in your ear, So loud, why can't you hear it? I'll be okay, I'm okay, I'll be okay. I'm okay All my faith is gone. You think I couldn't find it? Pieces falling down Shattered, nothing behind it In my mind alone.Lost here, I'm separated. Crawl deeper in my hole. Safe here, from what I've hated...All the demons in my head won't leave me. I know, I can hear them. All the sacrifices made for nothing. Don't show, can't believe in. Wanna show you that I'm good for something I can't, you won't let me All your artificial words won't heal me Because you can't accept me And I hate myself And I hate my face And I hate my world And I hate my ways And I.. And I...And I...And I...I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'm not okay, I'll be okay,I'm okay, I'll be okay, I'm okay. Trust in me can't trust. I know, I don't believe it. All my life so scarred. What for, you can't conceive it. Everything you fear, I'll be, you couldn't live it. I whisper in your ear. Fuck me, why can't you feel it?
Chorus
I don't believe it

8)Crawl-
I'm so lonely, You're so beautiful, Not the only One that's pitiful... Stretched and torn, I lay here in pieces. Craving all of your deadly vices. Like to think I'm not addicted. But I guess I wear it well... And I crawl, while you spit, And I crawl, through your shit. Here I am now. Not a lot has changed, Nothing better. Everything's the same. Late at night I can hear your voices, Talking shit about all my choices. You would think that you've known me forever. Just because you know my name
Chorus
Everything falls apart, Everything...
repeat chorus

9)Spleen
Can't breathe. Shut up, shut up. I feel I give everything to you. Can't breathe... Shut up, shut up... I think there's nothing left to do. Can't breathe... Shut up, shut up... I don't like today. Take it all away. Just like what you say. I don't want you, Kinda like the way, Everything is gray. Just like what you say, I don't need you. I don't look like you. Do the things you do. But I'm fucked up too, I dont need you. Can't breathe. Shut up, shut up...I feel you are what saves my soul...Can't breathe...Shut up, shut up...I think Ill never lose control. Cant breathe. Shut up, shut up...I don't understand it, you're killing this planet, The scabs on her face it's a fucking disgrace. I blame you... I blame you... I blame you...I blame you...I blame you... Can't breathe, Shut up, shut up.
Repeat Chorus

10)Excess Baggage-
Well I know the words, but I can't really speak them
To you. And I hide all the pain that I've gained with my wisdom From you. And I'm eaten alive, by what I hold inside. All the things that I live with, I can't easily hide. And I'm left here with nothing, Nothing to live for But you. Its not easy to hide. All this damage inside, I'll carry you with me. Until I'm not alive. When you look at my face, does it seem just as ugly To you? I can't seem to erase all the scars I have lived with, From you. I'm so sick of this place. And this taste in my mouth. 'Cause of you I can't figure, What I'm all about. And I'm left here with nothing. Nothing to live for, But you. Its not easy to hide, All this damage inside. I'll carry you with me... Til I'm not alive

BREAK THE CYCLE LYRICS-

1)Open Your Eyes

As I walk along these streets, I see a man that walks alone.
Distant echo of people's feet, He has no place to call his own. A shot rings out from a roof overhead, A crackhead asks for change nearby. An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries. What would you do, if it was you? Would you take everything For granted like you do? A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit. Overpopulation there's no room in jail, But most of you don't give a shit.
That your daughters are porno stars, And your sons sell death to kids. You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix. You turn away. As I walk along the streets, Soaking up the acid rain, Underneath the taxi cabs. I hear the streets cry out in vain.


2)Pressure

I just need this to be all right, I can't feel this another night. I can't take this I come unglued. I might breakdown in front of you. Necessary to medicate, I'm not sleeping can't stay awake. Can't see through this, Too much pressure.
Drowning in this, Too much pressure. If you need me I'll be here. Half unconscious to escape my fear. My head hurts this shit isn't getting me high. My chest is so tight I think I am going to die. My stomach's in knots and the room starts to spin, As I wait for this valium to slowly kick in .

3)Fade

I try to breathe, Memories overtaking me... I try to face them but, The thought is too Much to conceive. I only know that I can change, Everything else just stays the same. So now I step out of the darkness, That my life became. 'cause, I just needed someone to talk to, You were just too busy with yourself. You were never there for me to Express how I felt. I just stuffed it down.
Now I'm older and I feel like I could let some of this anger fade. But it seems the surface, I am scratching Is the bed that I have made... So where were you, When all this I was going through? You never took the time to ask me Just what you could do.

4)It's Been Awhile

And it's been awhile since I could, Hold my head up high.
And it's been awhile since I first saw you. And it's been awhile since I could, stand On my own two feet again.
And it's been awhile since I could call you. And everything I can remember, As fucked up as it all may seem. The consequences that are rendured, I stretch myself beyond my means. And it's been awhile since I couldn't say That I wasn't addicted. and, And it's been awhile since I couldn't say I Love myself as well. and, And it's been awhile since I've gone and fucked things up, Just like I always do.
And it's been awhile, but all that shit seems to disappear
When I'm with you... And everything I can remember, As fucked up as it always seemed. The consequences that I've rendured. Have gone and fucked up things again. Why must I feel this way? Just make this go away. Just one more peaceful day.... And it's been awhile since I could look in myself straight, And it's been awhile since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile since I've seen the way, the candles light your face, And it's been awhile but I can still remember just the way you taste. And everything I can remember. As fucked up as it all may seem to be, I know its me. I cannot blame this on my father. He did the best he could for me. And its been awhile since I could, Hold my head up high. And it's been awhile Since I said I'm sorry.

5)Change

If ever you had said to me before That I would live this life that I am Living now, I guess it's all so strange
To feel the way I do inside but Have so much that I could feel some Pride for in my life. so why is it that I feel like this? How do I feel? I've been here before, I've felt this Retreat to a place, a place within me I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside, It breaks me to torment again and Torture me like it used to. I try and try to break away from all the hate I'm feeling for everyone of you that's ever Done me wrong. I need to justify the reasons
For the way I'm living. I guess I can't cause I don't feel like I deserve it So now the waves they have subsided And my soul is bleeding I can't take away The shame I feel, forgive me.

6)Can't Believe

Respect, respect what is found. Respect should abound.
Respect everything that you leave. I can't believe
Can't believe. And I, I can't believe, I can't believe all the travesty Surrounding me, I, I want to flee I want to flee from everything In front of me. I Can't believe
Never again, trusted in you Fuck everything that you think I should be I stand, never again, never again. Can't believe

7)Epiphany

Your words to me stay a whisper. Your face is so unclear.
I try to pay attention, Your words just disappear. [Cuz its always raining in my head. Forget all the things I should have said] So I speak to you in riddles. Cuz my words get in my way. I soak the hole thing to my head And feel it wash away. Cuz I cant take anymore of thisI wanna come apart
And dig myself a little hole, Inside your precious heart. ...(chorus)... I am nothing more than A little boy inside, That cries out for attention Yet I always try to hide Cuz I'd talk to you like children. Though I dont know how I feel. But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is to feel ...(chorus)

8)Suffer

The more you see the more you do. The televisions feeding you, With what you wanna hear. Anger and fear
Because you suffer.. The hate you feel you won't go away
Your all programmed to feel this way, To live another day.
Within a world That longs to suffer.. And then I come to find Everything's ok. Seen this all before. But that was yesterday. Try to walk right through The messes that I've made. Just let me enjoy The life here that I have Tried to give this all to you. Can't take anymore to deal With this it hurts inside I know Why I hide Cause I suffer... I tried to keep it all inside Never leave me too much pride
I forced it all down inside. Forced myself To make me suffer
And then I come to find. Everythings ok. Seen this all before But that was yesterday, Try to walk right through The messes that I've made. So I can enjoy The life here that I have And then I come to find. And then I come to find Everythings ok. Seen this all before But that was yesterday. Try to walk right through The messes that I've made. So I can enjoy The life here that I have.


9)Safe Place

Another day Inside my world. I'm married to you and this road. A road that never lets me sleep So there's no way to escape these demons I am forced to keep. And then I find you here Through your eyes, everything's clear. And I'm home inside your arms But I'm alone for now. I mean the best with what I say It doesn't always sound that way
I never learned to work things out Cuz in my family all we ever seem to do is shout. And then I find you here
Through your eyes, everything's clear And I'm home inside your arms But I'm alone for now Alone for now. But then I find out here Through your eyes everything's clear And I'm home inside your arms But I'm alone for now And when I try to sleep, The drugs I take are killing me I think of you to ease my pain. But you're so far. Now it's time to say goodbye. I love you baby please don't cry. Cuz then I'll find you here. Through your eyes everything's clear
And I'm home inside your arms but I'm alone for now...

10)For You
To my mother, to my father, It's your son or it's your daughter Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me?
Should I turn this up for you? [I sit here locked inside my head, Remembering everything you've said This silence gets us nowhere,Gets us nowhwere way too fast.] The silence is what kills me I need someone here to help me But you dont know how to listen And let me make my decisions Cuz I sit here locked inside my head Remembering everything you've said This silence gets us nowhere Gets us nowhere way too fast All your insults and your curses
Make me feel like im not a person And i feel like i am nothing But you made me so do something. Cuz im fucked up because you are. Need attention, attention you couldnt give.
I sit here locked inside my head Remembering everything you've said. This silence gets us nowhere Gets us nowhere way too fast. I sit here locked inside my head Remembering everything you've said. This silence gets us nowhere, Gets us nowhere way too fast.




11)Outside
And you... Bring me to my knees, again... All the times
That I could beg you please, in vain. All the times That I felt insecure, for you. And I leave My burdens at the door.
[But I'm on the outside I'm lookin in, I can see through you
See your true colors, Cuz inside you're ugly, You're ugly like me. I can see through you See to the real you] All the times That I felt like this wont end, its for you. And I taste What I could never have, it was from you. All the times That I've cried... My intentions, full of pride
But I waste, more time than anyone. (smoke more weed than anyyyyone) (live version);) All the times That I've cried,
All this wasting It's all inside. And I feel All this pain,
I stuffed it down It's back again. And I lie
Here in bed All alone, I cant mend. But I feel,Tomorrow will be ok... ...(chorus)...

12)Waste

Your mother came up to me She wanted answers only she should know. Only she should know. It wasn't easy to deal
With the tears that rolled down her face I have no answers cuz, I didn't even know you. [But these words They can't replace, The life you, The life you waste.] How could you paint this picture? was life as bad as it should seem
that there were no more options for you? I cant explain how i feel. Ive been there many times before. Ive tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me. ...(chorus)... Did daddy not love you? Or did he love you just too much? Did he control you Did he live through you at your cost? Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own? Well fuck them And fuck her And fuck him
And fuck you For not having the strength in your heart to pull through I've had doubts I have failed I've fucked up
I've had plans, Doesn't mean I should take my life with my own hands. ...(chorus)...

13)Take it

I feel like this won't go away. No matter how hard I try to,
Squeeze my eyes shut so I can't see The pain in you this pain in me - in me. But [everything that I can say to you
Won't help you Everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it]I know that I am really not here To represent what i am not, clear about in my head Sometimes i feel fucked up just like you do - like you do. ...(chorus)...
Try to make it through the daily pain that you feel Maybe tomorrow wont be so bad... I know it cuz I once felt that way. Nothing i could say, Made it go away. I lived through this. I still feel this. I just live for my tomorrow Just make it go away. Just make it go away. She'll make it go away. She'll make it go away

14) It's Been Awhile- (See Number 4)
 
14 Shades of Grey Lyrics
 
1) Price to Play
 
Fail to see, how destructive we can be. taking without giving back 'til the damage can be seen. can you see? can you see? The more you take. The more you blame. But everything still feels the same. The more you hurt The more you strain. The price you pay to play to game.
Then all you see And all you gain And all you step on without shame
There are no rules No one to blame The price to play the game. Apathy
the chosen way to be, blindly look the other way while you waste away with me can you see? can you see? The more you take The more you blame But everything still feels the same. The more you hurt, The more you strain The price you pay to play to game. Then all you see And all you gain And all you step on without shame. There are no rules No one to blame The price to play the game What you pay to play the game what you pay to play the game what you pay to play the game what you pay to play the game The more you take The more you blame But everything still feels the same The more you hurt The more you strain  The price you pay to play to game Then all you see And all you gain And all you step on without shame There are no rules No one to blame
The price to play the game (x4)
 
2) How About You-
 
If someone showed you the way, Would you take the wheel and steer?
It hurts me that your not ashamed Of what you're doing here If they jumped off a bridge Would you meet them on the ground? Or would you try and claim It never made a sound? Everyone plays the hand they're dealt And learns to walk through life themselves Not everything in life is handed on a plate When people think your words are true It doesn't matter what you do I sold my soul to get here. How 'bout you? so you choose to force your hand What a strange way to make friends And you always change the rules so the drama never ends And you blindly go through life Judging only but it's worth Just try not to forget That the meek inherit earth. Everyone plays the hand they're dealt And learns to walk through life themselves Not everything in life is handed on a plate When people think your words are true It doesn't matter what you doI sold my soul to get here How 'bout you? So please don't take offense This is just a point of view 'Cause I'm the only one who Will say these things to you Everyone plays the hand they're dealt And learns to walk through life themselves. Not everything in life is handed on a plate When people think your words are true It doesn't matter what you do. I sold my soul to get here, How 'bout you?
3) So Far Away-
 
This is my life. It's not what it was before. All these feelings I've shared
And these dreams That I'd never lived before. Somebody shake me 'cause I, I must be sleeping. Now that we're here, it's so far away. All the struggle we thought was all in vain. They all finally start to go away Now that we're here, it's so far away And I feel like I can face the day
I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed To be the person I am today These are my words That I've never said before I think I'm doing okay And this smile That I've never shown before Somebody shake me 'cause I
I must be sleeping Now that we're here, it's so far away All the struggle we thought was all in vain They all finally start to go away Now that we're here, it's so far away And I feel like I can face the day. I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed To be the person I am today. I'm so afraid of waking Please don't shake me Afraid of waking Please dont shake me. Now that we're here, it's so far away. All the struggle we thought was all in vain They all finally start to go away. Now that we're here, it's so far away And I feel like I can face the day. I can forgive, and I'm not ashamed, To be the person I am today.
 
4) Yesterday-
 
You don't know what you've put me through. It's okay, I've forgiven you. But in some way, hope it fucks with you Hope it fucks with you.
That I'm okay and I've made it through. But who's to say what you're going through I'll say no names, though I've wanted to. Isn't it strange how it seems like... Yesterday, a boy and already afraid Locked deep inside, my place to hide. To hide from how you made me feel And I wonder how's your brother Did he end up fucked up like me? Lost in himself, crying for help It's safe to say. I learned to live without a pride
Just a shell, with me stuck inside A prison, not a place to hide Not a place to hide That I'm okay and I've made it through But who's to say what you're going through. I'll say no names, though I've wanted to
Isn't it strange how it seems like... Yesterday, a boy and already afraid
Locked deep inside, my place to hide To hide from how you made me feel And I wonder how's your brother. Did he end up fucked up like me? Lost in himself, crying for help It's safe to say. Yesterday, a boy and already afraid. Locked deep inside, my place to hide To hide from how you made me feel. And I wonder how's your brother Did he finally pull through like me? Finding himself, not needing help like. I'd like to say.
 
5)Fray
 
I know that it never goes away. All I feel, everything I'm not today So I try and I try to make everything right I don't feel like I'm doing it, it affects me. You wouldn't listen even if I told you. Who the fuck am I to say? You're too busy with the lies they sold you. Another cure to fix your day Open wide for all the shit they feed you. While the TV defecates. And blindly walk wherever they lead you While the edges slowly fray I know that everything can change What I need is to open up again So never will I look back in vain 'Cause today's not the past,
I don't even need to relieve it You wouldn't listen even if I told you
Who the fuck am I to say? You're too busy with the lies they sold you
Another cure to fix your day Open wide for all the shit they feed you
While the TV defecates And blindly walk wherever they lead you
While the edges slowly fray Are you satisfied? I've given it all I can
And are you pacified Or do you want more from me? You wouldn't listen even if I told you Who the fuck am I to say? You're too busy with the lies they sold you Another cure to fix your day Open wide for all the shit they feed you While the TV defecates And blindly walk wherever they lead you While the edges slowly fray I've learned that this life's not just a game Just a line between the pleasures and the pain You wouldn't listen even if I told you Who the fuck am I to say? You're too busy with the lies they sold you Another cure to fix your day Open wide for all the shit they feed you While the TV defecates And blindly walk wherever they lead you While the edges slowly fray.
 
6)Zoe Jane
 
Well I want you to notice To notice when I'm not around I know your eyes see straight through me. And speak to me without a sound
And I want to hold you Protect you from all the things I've already endured And I want to show you, To show you all of the things that this life has in store for you. I'll always love you The way a father sould love his daughter. When I walked out this morning I cried as I walked to the door I cried about how long I'd be away for I cried about leaving you all alone And I want to hold you Protect you from all the things I've already endured And I want to show you To show you all of the things that this life has in store for you I'll always love you. The way a father should love his daughter. Sweet Zoe Jane, Sweet Zoe Jane. So I wanted to say this 'cause I wouldn't know where to begin To explain to you what I have been through To explain where your daddy has been And I want to hold you Protect you from all the things I've already endured
And I want to show you To show you all of the things that this life has in store for you I'll always love you The way a father should love his daughter, Sweet Zoe Jane. Sweet Zoe Jane.
7)Fill Me Up-
 
I just had to let you know, 'Cause I don't always let it show. You give me needed room to grow. And I just had to tell you so. You fill me up, you're in my veins, A look could take my breath away. And all these things, you give away. Sometimes I take for granted. It's just like poetry inside. To hear you breathing by my side. Like I'm in heaven and I've died. So glad you're with me for this ride. You fill me up, you're in my veins, A look could take my breath away. And all these things, you give away, Sometimes I take for granted. I see your face to start my day, Makes all my bad dreams go away. And all the stupid games we play, Wouldn't have it any other way. You fill me up, you're in my veins. A look could take my breath away. And all these things, you give away, Sometimes I take for granted. You fill me up, you're in my veins
A look could take my breath away. And all these things, you give away
Sometimes I take for granted.

8)Layne-

I heard today that you were gone. I had to stop and sing along. The song they played to say goodbye. A song that gave, gave me back life.
You'll never fade, The words you gave. My life you saved. Your name was Layne. And on that day a child was born. To someone who you helped along And helped see through his darkest times Because of you, this child she is mine. You'll never fade The words you gave My life you saved. Your name was layne The words you said, you made me feel like they were all for me. The words you said, they will always be a part of me The words you said, you made me feel like I was not alone. The words you said, you gave me all the strength to carry on. So to me you'll never fade. Your life you gave. My life you saved. Your name was Layne.

 
9)Falling Down
 
What's happened to you? It's obvious you've changed. Something deep inside you is probably to blame. Must be lonely up there with your head up in the clouds, Even though you got there what does your conscience tell you know? It's never the same on the way down. How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground? When all of your bridges aren't around. And the sandcastles you built are falling down. You had us all sitting right there in your hand But you had to fall because that's how life is. Got your fingers burned by burning candles at both ends Now the table's turned and now your demonsa are your friends It's never the same on the way down How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground? When all of your bridges aren't around, And the sandcastles you built are falling down. So now I question what you're gonna do. Now that everythings gone up with you. You believe the shit you say is true
But everybody's on to you. Life remembers everything you do. Your karma has caught up with you. It's never the same on the way down How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground? When all of your bridges aren't around, And the sandcastles you built are falling down.
 
10Reality                                                                                                          
 
The lights are on but you're not home, You've drifted off somewhere alone. Somewhere that's safe, no questions here. A quite place to hide from your fears, Sometimes when your out of rope. The way to climb back up is unknown. The walls you build around yourself, I guess they keep you here Are you afraid of what they think? Whoever "they" happen to be. Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality? So you sedate and drown in vain. You've got a pill for everyday. A suit and tie to mask the truth. It's ugly head is starting to show through. Sometimes when your out of rope. The way to climb back up is unknown. The walls you build around yourself. I guess they keep you here. Are you afraid of what they think? Whoever "they" happen to be
Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality? The monster you're feeding, your lack of perception. The things you will do to fulfill addictions. The light at the end of your tunnel is closing. What is it that your so afraid of exposing. You'd give it all up for what there for the taking. Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking. The same things you're thinking might make you feel better. The same things that probably got you here. Sometimes when your out of rope. The way to climb back up is unknown, The walls you build around yourself I guess they keep you here. Are you afraid of what they think? Whoever "they" happen to be. Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality? The monster you're feeding, your lack of perception The things you will do to fulfill addictions The light at the end of your tunnel is closing What is it that your so afraid of exposing. You'd give it all up for what there for the taking Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking. The same things you're thinking might make you feel better
The same things that probably got you here.
 
11) Tonight
 
Just try to understand this isn't what I planned. This ride's out of my hands. So now I'm forced to be something I can not be. If only I could make you see. [Chorus] [Tonight I'm alive. I've watched you all grow up and so have I. Inside this isn't really what I had in mind] I no longer relate to this world of hate, That's forced upon my plate I tend to disagree, I hope it's not just me, alone. If only I could make you see  (Repeat Chorus x 3)
12) Could It Be-
 
Well I don't know what to say. Because there's truth to what you say.
I know it kills you I'm this way. There's something different every day.
Could it be I that I never had a chance to grow inside? Could it be that my habit is to find a place to hide? Could it be that sometimes I say things just to disagree. Could it be that I'm only being me? Not easy living in my mind A little peace is hard to find. My every thought is undermined By all the history inside. Could it be I that I never had a chance to grow inside? Could it be that my habit is to find a place to hide? Could it be that sometimes I say things just to disagree Could it be that I'm only being me? I know I hear the words you said Over and over again. I just can't get them through my head. There's just to many voices. Must be like living with the dead. Waiting for me to begin. To do the things that I have said. And for this I'm sorry. So there's some truth to what you say. Could it be I that I never had a chance to grow inside? Could it be that my habit is to find a place to hide? Could it be that sometimes I say things just to disagree?Could it be that I'm only being me?
13)Blow Away
 
Live in my head for just one day. I see myself and look away. The road is showing now on my face. Soon I'll disappear, I'll disappear without a trace. Faces that I've seen turn old and grey. I've lost too many friends along the way. Memories I never thought would fade. They fade and blow away. I wish that I could disappear, Unzip my skin and leave it here. So I could be no one again. And never let nobody, I'd let nobody,
I'd let nobody in. Faces that I've seen turn old and grey. I've lost too many friends along the way. Memories I never thought would fade
They fade and blow away. So now the walls are closing in. Because in life you sink or swim. Sometimes these shoes don't feel right in my head. Feel like a book that can't be, A book that can't be, A book that can't be read. Faces that I've seen turn old and grey. I've lost too many friends along the way. Memories I never thought would fade. They fade and blow away.
 
14)Intro
 
Thank you to the people in my life. For putting up with me. And thank you for the time you sacrificed. All on account of me. For all the times I didn't say. The times I didn't say. For all the times I didn't say. Times I didn't say. Fuck you to the jaded and the fake. Like to see what you would do. Fuck you and the judgements that you make. We're not all perfect just like you, Like you, Like you. For all the times I didn't say
Times I didn't say. For all the times I didn't say. The times I didn't say All the times I didn't say. All the times I didn't say. Thank you to the people in my life for putting up with me.
