Me With Elias






"STATEMENT" LYRICS
1)Mindtrip-
You're about to take a mindtrip. So get your ticket stamped. Pack your thoughts on up, And set yourself To rant and rave I'll pave the way, And clear a path. For all the aftermath, That's gonna happen. When these verses hit, Your bony ass Bon Voyage I'll check you later. Now check your reason, Was it all for pleasing? Or was it all misleading
Or do you need a guide. Brother check your side I'm gonna take you on a joyride. Trip inside your mind, Trip inside your mind, Trip inside your mind, Trip inside your mind.
Feels good and separate yourself. It feels real good I think I kicked in another 12 hours. I'll be back again the vitamin C Is making me See The visual dreams. All the colors and the schemes. The visual dreams, The light from the moon. Screams shuttering. Laughing to breathe. Separate yourself I'm gonna take you on a mindtrip. I'm gonna take you on a mindtrip. I'm gonna take you on a I'm gonna take you on a, I'm gonna take you on a, Separate yourself. Separate yourself. This neverending story is ending finally The scheme of things. The ways of life You step into the pit Of the heart, the mind, body, and soul These griffin roles. You'll soon be playing them alone Jester jokes told again. And then you say we're friends, Well I'm laughing and coughing. Set me off and check the character of this cartoon. Delusions you are seeing, Are coming real real real soon. Trip again. You're my only friend I wanna trip I wanna trip again. Trip again. You're my only friend I wanna trip I wanna trip again. I wanna trip again I wanna trip again I'm gonna trip again. Trip again, trip again, trip again, I wanna trip again. Trip again, trip again, trip again, trip again. Trip again, trip again, trip again, trip again. Separate yourself, Separate yourself. I'm gonna take you on a mindtrip, I'm gonna take you on a mindtrip.
Separate yourself. Separate yourself. Separate yourself.
Separate yourself. Separate yourself. Separate yourself.
Separate yourself. Separate yourself. Look inside. You're gonna find me there. Looking for your simple pleasure.

2)Victim-
Thinking suicide. Thinking suicide. Thinking suicide. Thinking suicide. Thinking suicide. Look at my eyes (Suicide). I need a disguise, o hide my lies. oh god,
What have I done To myself, To her, Before your eyes?
What could drive me so mad, To lose what we had? The mystery remains inside. Want to make it real Like it was before, And I lost the bond, Cause I shut the door. In search of ways to be myself. But ended up like somebody else
Trusted me, Honored me. Fought for me. Cried for me, Lived for me, Died for me, Open my eyes I see the walls, White as snow. They don't seem strong. Betrayed myself, Opened my eyes. Can't see those walls I feel so dumb, Like a fuckin' bum. Preferred to run. Then face the fact I stabbed your back. I understand that. Did not deserve that. You can't go back. Do you see it? Oh my god What have I done? Please forgive me Fuck that! I feel So hated. So aggravated. So frustrated I can't explain it. The way that I feel I feel so dumb, Like a fuckin' bum. Preferred to run. Then face the fact I stabbed your back I'm a victim. Slippin through the system. Victim. Slippin through the system... Open my eyes, Can't see those walls I feel so dumb. Like a fuckin' bum. Preferred to run, Then face the fact I stabbed your back I understand that. Did not deserve that. You can't go back. Do you see it? Oh my god What have I done. Please forgive me. Fuck that. I feel So hated. So aggravated
So frustrated I can't explain it. The way that I feel I feel so dumb, Like a fuckin' bum. Preferred to run. Then face the fact I stabbed your back I'm a victim, Slippin through the system. Victim Slippin through the system.
Victim Slippin through the system. Victim Slippin through the system. Victim Slippin through the system. Victim, Victim, Victim, Victim, Victim, Victim, Victim, Victim...

3)Endure-
Even with a diagram of My DNA I leave scientists baffled 'till the end of the day. They try to pick apart
My life-style and how I survive making money for the boss
while I make nickel and dime, and being on time takin' a punch and doin' My best, not ever hearing good job and staying upset it doesn't take to much to find the sediments they left behind. Put down the book put up the walls I'm never givin' up at all. What's yours is yours, what's
Mine is yours and I'll mature. Endure. Not even with ten men holding Me back, not even with a devious planned attack. Contemplating every move that I play willing the bad things all away. Keeping the worry-free happiness philosophy that's what I let them see when they try to look at Me. Don't want out. These issues arise everyday,
though you try to turn your head and walk away, though it leaves you feeling insecure you're gonna feel your life mature. Endure..............

4)Back Up-
Wise up because I'm fed you better back up. You got a bad attitude comin' up from inside, you better watch your mouth
you got plenty to hide. You come across so heavy you're a buck-o-five. Better rest your fist and try to use your mind.
I'm not punkin' out, I'm just movin' up say your comments loud, but try to back 'em up keep your ass far away and stay with yourself alone in a cage aggravate someone else.
Wise up because I'm fed you better back up. You in your baggy jeans with your baggy lip you 'bout to lose all your shit with the butt of my fist you better use your mind fast
and bring your pressure down quick, 'cause you feather weight fuckin' in this heavyweight clique' You know karate got a shiny gun in your hand got a razor blade hat with a knife in the brim. I ask you all the questions don't look at him your own stupid answers got you what you are in bitch...Wise up because I'm fed you better back up. No time spending it on your thinking because something's really strange. Don't care about the drinking makes the voices go away. Cause they hear what I am thinking, let your ego get away. When you find what you are missing, what can teach you everyday... No time spending on you thinking let frustrations get away im not holding it inside me ill just let it be. what it wants to what it wants to spontaneous lay high way comming with me... repeat chorus...

5)What a Day-
Sittin' on your ass all day thinkin' about your hangover
and the party you left your fuckin' keys at and had to beg for a ride from a stranger that I never met before. He acted so friendly that I had to take the ride but for some reason he resembled that guy, wanted for a robbery and beatin' on his kid "you remind me of my stepson" he chuckles with a grin. What was that move that they taught in self-defense, where you block the killer's knife move with some confidence? The signal when you're trapped inside a moving car? I wonder if he'll drive real far. What a day, you should've stayed home shootin' the breeze all day,
you should think next time before you start to play, I wonder what will happen today. Rub your eyes from no sleep this week tap your heels home then fall asleep. Sittin' around looking for a fight kinda' pissed off how I'm turnin' My life up-side down from insecure insecurities makin' up My mind through old hypocrisy up and out of harms way down cause I want to be there here because you want Me not because you're caught in My stare. What was that move that they taught in self-defense, where you block the killer's knife move with some confidence? The signal when you're trapped inside a moving car I wonder if he'll drive real far. What a day, What a Day, You should've stayed home shootin' the breeze all day, you should think next time before you start to play, I wonder what will happen today. Rub your eyes from... No sleep this Week... Tap your heels home then fall asleep, asleep in bed you'll do something tomorrow instead. What a Day, What a Day...






6)Misled-
Twisted, intricate, obscure and tangled double-edged through my head leaving Me mangled incomprehensible questions and words created from all of the stories you heard these complications are going too far and show Me exactly who you are. It should never be this hard.
Mislead into thinking that everything's okay misread
My answers cause all of the hear-say you'll understand
someday soon changed. My direction redefined, My intentions. how can you mention the good that we had when everything else makes Me mad? It should never be this hard.
Breakaway runaway hideaway just to get away. It should never be this hard, don't try and make Me stay just turn your head and walk away.

7)Double Stacked-
...The things we need and the things we strive for that feeling again comes so deep and warm. I taste your breath just as sweet as sugar a simple reminder of how we Burn.
Burn... I got that funky feelin I feel it all around.
I got that funky feelin do you hear that techno sound.
I got that funky feelin I feel it all around. I got that funky feelin do you hear that techno sound. It's coming quick you'd best not turn your back cause the facts represent we got the skills that they lack the MDMA
up in my veins making me insane warm squiggles up and down my brain, brain, brain, brain, brain. I got that funky feelin I feel it all around. I got that funky feelin do you hear that techno sound. I got that funky feelin I feel it all around. I got that funky feelin do you hear that techno sound. You got a simple reputation you take a look and you will see the time is now the now is here you feel that ecstacy and this is how we how we burn the tables turn and your lessons are learned you find yourself another way to spend your double stacked day this is how we, how we, how we... This is how we burn. I won't be neglected. I won't be denied. The pleasure of your kisses. The pleasure of your smile. You take for granted And I'll always be here. Well just because I love you doesn't mean I won't disappear. Now I arise and I see the sunshine but I still I'm all right I'm breathing just fine I look the same to you but I see through a haze on these doublestacked days.

8)Orgullo- (Spanish) No Lyrics in Book

9)Years-
Funny feeling my guts intuition doesn't know, No bravery could convince you, To more or less say no. Your explanation hasn't gone over yet But I'll give you one more chance. To open up and just let go, There's no easier way out of this place I'm claiming this lie to you. Face to face to face to. That's no way for you to treat me my dear. Someone you chose to lie to all these years. There is no other title that I can find for us. Even though you can believe that this could. Work and bleed and breathe and be for us. Your interpretation of my expectations. Caught up in your picture frame. Have defined my eyes and made me turn up down and inside. There's no easier way out of this place I'm claiming this lie to you face to face to face to
That's no way for you to treat me my dear. Someone you chose to lie to all these years It's gonna take a lot to get you to completely. Forgive me for letting you down I'm not exactly what I really was back then. Played along for so long Then you saw what I really was I was wrong for so long. What do I do with my other type of slum life? So on to you delight For the rest of the night. I'm yours Whatever you want. From every pore I give you my life.











































10)H.I.V.E-
...Go... It's time To do a quick rewind And find another line And bring it back to get The juices flowing. You
Found infection, With injection Tell me lies. Time is moving faster You were the last one To reach inside And grab my soul and kill it. Now you realize What you've done
Now you realize What you've done. Your time has come Go...
Pick it up pick it up pick it up Heart beats Pains inside.
You wonder why You can't breathe You're about to see Your maker's eyes That breath you took Was terminal. Now you realize What you've done Now you realize What you've done
Your time has come. Go... Pick it up pick it up pick it up... Here we go Oh girl Take my hand I understand, I understand You got it right there. Ohhhhh girl it's the right time I feel you're taste you're feelin so fine. So fine Soft white skin, The air the color of sunsets. Kiss your neck, The tone is all set. You tell another lie. You're flyer than the girl I had before. Then I kiss your bottom lip and Have you screamin for more. Close the door And hope that nobody's home, And when you wake up I'll be long gone.

11)Levels-
Scenes are changing and you collect the sand on our souls.
You can make it okay if you pave your own way. Bear down and reach the higher ground. Your momentum has swayed from all the shit in the world today. Lose track fight to get it back. Climb aboard, strap yourself in, and wait for the ride of life to begin even though you were the first to go you're the last to stay. Long roads lead the shortest ways.
The people the same the trip is what you're waiting for.
Scenes change and they'll grow more...
Development Lyrics:

1) Development-

Now, There's a crack on the inside, And I start to play. Now My finger's stuck. Over stood my stay. Now, Now, Now, My world is bent.
From this development. (this development). Moving faster, than a
Storms rain after. The Plaster split. Where my fingers fit. Sure disaster
And growing faster. Than my skin can take. Least thats what they say.
Now, There's a crack on the inside, And I start to play. Now My finger's stuck. Over stood my stay. Now, Now, Now. My world is bent
From this development. (this development) Crowded cluster,
Do you trust her? To take the weight. Or make the change, Abandoned labor. Do yourself a favor and do for you. Not what you're used to. Now
There's a crack on the inside, And I start to play. Now, My finger's stuck. Over stood my stay. Now, Now, Now. My world is bent From this development. This development (this development). No more sanity I can't stay here. Too many, many bad choices, choices
No more space to breathe. I can't stay here. Too many, many damn voices, voices. Now, There's a crack on the inside. And I start to play
Now, My finger's stuck. Over stood my stay Now, Now, Now, My world is bent. From this development. This development This development.
 
2) Circles-
 
Going around in circles again. Pedal to floor, back in the seat, purpose and will verus modern machine. Passing the slow, defeating the weak, all with the tar on the street, and the weight of my feet the sweat on my face. Wanting first place for than you can understand. Going around in circles again. Photo finish race. Rear view stare chase. Satisfaction only when I finish at the end. If i follow all the rules, promise that i'll win?Driven so confused that im going around in circles again. Going around in circles again. Holding on by a thread. Cut me loose so I can contend.
Hoping for something more then second place, first place or more. Where will I be when I get to the end? Doesn't matter what place i begin three hundred sixty-one degree's and then. Going around in circles again
.

3) Your Signs-

Gotta make the list of what is best. Gotta make the fist and beat against. Have to leave an impression, do you have a suggestion? I'm all out of good ideas. The ones you have always put into your ears with all you care to share. How did i end up here? Your signs are pointing to nowhere. That's exactly where i won't go. Your signs are pointing to nowhere and no one that i know. Will ask all you care to show me
care to show me. Gotta make the list of what is best.
gotta make the fist and beat against. have to make this perfectly clear.
i'm not waiting for one million years, for us in general. you make the chemical situation i put us in, unfamiliar in foreign land. Your signs are pointing to nowhere. That's exactly where i won't go. Your signs are pointed to nowhere and no one that i know. Will ask all you care to show me? How would you like me? Where would you like me to be
and could you make me worry just a little more? The way you look at me confuses me even with you next to me. Your signs are pointed to nowhere. That's exactly where i won't go. Your signs are pointing to nowhere and no one that i know. Will ask all that you care to show me
your signs,  your signs (care to show me) your signs, care to show me,
care to show me? i won't go.

4) Normal Days-

Strange Days are normal. Trying to find the words, making my mind up from what you've heard. Winding down you're just finding what indifference you're having today. Make your mind up it's never the same. Sinking down, ceiling climbing, while you're up to your neck in the same situation and start to complain. Trying to find the words, making my mind up from what you've heard. You can't fool me with your smiles.
Seen you treat whom you call your friends, and you'll never be called that again. Been on your knees for a while, searching through broken glass with your hands, can i offer you gloves again? Trying to find the words, making my mind up from what you've heard. The way, the time, the chance, a glance, a second look at your stance on the way the day could change strange days to normal days.

5) My Own Sake-

"Just be patient" the best advise I did not take. "Super stellar first impression" i did not make. My own insecurities are not as bad as you make them out to be, and out time is running out so fast. I move this fast, and i make mistakes for my own sake. Can't you see that all of your times are wasting while we're wasted? Tripping over (and over and over) our own feet when we look too hard, for what's older, older, yes older. Then the day we got to this world that enough for me to make a good impression when I'm walking through the door. I move this fast, and i make mistakes for my own sake. I'll do what i have to, to be everything you want me to. Without putting you through all the questions I'd like to mention to you. I move this fast, and i make mistakes for my own sake.

6) Hands-

I dont know how to say to make you understand that when i turn my head to look I wanna see your hands. You used to care.
In the beginning, it felt like you'd always be there. Now i see that winning's not easy. It's something that needs to be held the right way.
In the beginning, feels like we're going to win. But somewhere you caused this to end. I dont know how to say to make you understand that when i turn my head to look I wanna see your hands. I need space too. Would of wanted it with you. I need time to think too. But all i seem to think about is me minus you. In the beginning, feels like we're going to win. But somewhere you caused this to end. I dont know how to say to make you understand that, when i turn my head to look I wanna see your hands. In the beginning, feels like we're going to win. Now it's the end and we start to pretend. Somewhere you caused this to end. I dont know how to say to make you understand that when i turn my head to look I wanna see your hands.

7) Excessive Reaction-

Gotta get from the point of pressure, to the point of no return, to turn me inside out. Brother please, tell the others, please. There are others that don't know about these... Standing, responses. Failing the answers.
Screaming so foreign. Excessive reactions. Bouncing off walls, where the pictures hang of the last ones that made them fall before. Taking it all with a grain of salt, and a bitter sweet memory of these... Standing, responses. Failing the answers. Screaming so foreign. Excessive reaction. Insane and bottled in, explain the state I'm in. You're electric pulse can't ail my sins, explain the state I'm in. Not so lost, not so fast, not reacting act so... Not the boss, not the past, not reacting act so...
Gotta get me from the point of pressure, to the point of no return to turn me inside out. I know my answers don't meet your satisfaction,
but they cause your reaction, excessive reaction from you.

8) Mountains-

One more problem. How you've got them. All tied up with a million things to do. Two more problems, how I've got them. One is someone else. Two is you. I hate that it had to come to this so fast. How else would i know if we would last. Making mountains out of mole hills, taking fountains past their filf. Making mountains out of mole hills, and making me want to kill. Every wonder, every question, every thing that I'm not so sure is real.
Every funny look, every stop and stare, every doubt in my mind that you still care. I hate that it had to come to this so fast. How else would i know if we would last. Making mountains out of mole hills, taking fountains past their filf. Making mountains out of mole hills, and making me want to kill. Making mountain, taking fountains, shaking grounds with tinny problems. Co-created from the way you give direction with affection. Making mountains out of mole hills, taking fountains past their filf. Making mountains out of mole hills, and making me want to kill.

9) Any Advice?-

Making choices and hoping that they're all right. Hating waiting for something to make this worth the waiting... and what are you waiting for? Any advice? Intervention of a mental melt down. Too late to help, it's out of my hands now. Do you want to do what you want to, and not tell me how? Explanations are more than I'm asking for. Just suggestions, not unfeeling metaphors. No recaps all over again to remember tonight? And make this worth our fight? Making choices and hoping that they're all right. Hating waiting for something to make this worth the waiting... and what are you waiting for? Any advice? we are losing all sight of the big picture, and there is no light on upstairs. there's nobody home and I've unplugged the phone. Misdirected aggression from an obvious lack of attention. Would you care if I mention the fact that im losing my mind? And I'm not even looking this time. Making choices and hoping that they're all right. Hating waiting for something to make this worth the waiting... and what are you waiting for? Any advice? ...Could you spare for a friend, so i don't do it twice and fall into a trend, and make this happy story end? There's a crack in the ice. Making choices and hoping that they're all right. Hating waiting for something to make this worth the waiting... and what are you waiting for? Any advice? Intervention of a mental melt down. Too late to help, it's out of my hands now. Do you want do what you want to, and not tell me how?

10) Hide and Seek-

Forearms can't cover up lies in hiding. Counting makes the only sound, while I wait for hours to be found. So much for making up rules while we're playing. Who cares about the rules anyway? They're for mindless fools and child's play. This time, yeah this time. It's my turn, it's not your turn. Counting helps the hiding, but what I seek I'm not finding. Ready or not. Why should it make sense? Why are you so unspontaneous? And why does your way sound the same as yesterday. So I'll shift and bit again. Draw a mark on your skin that turns you the color pink. What exactly will they think of you? This time, yeah this time. It's my turn, it's not your turn. Counting helps the hiding, but what I seek I'm not finding.
Ready or not. Why are you jealous, over bearing, verzealous? What for? Is it the lost memory of all those games with me? All those games you played on me... Counting helps the hiding, but what I seek I'm not finding. Ready or not.


11) Get Inside-

What I do makes the worst of you. And a good situation gone bad from the start: a classification that slowy tears us apart. Forget about polite, hurry up and fight. Your words are just lying there helpless. Hurry up and fight. And get inside. We've started, while you wait for nothing.
Where did our calm conversations go?
Why don't we continue this show? I don't want to relax, or lower my voice. it's my choice, and i proudly choose to hide. Forget about polite, hurry up and fight. Your words are just lying there helpless. Hurry up and fight. And get inside. We've started, while you wait for nothing. These walls are so thin, I can hear every sin. No confession, for obsessions that they covet, and squeeze in your arms. Cause your hiding, while confiding is going too far past the point of harmless charm.
Forget about polite, hurry up and fight. Your words are just lying there helpless. Hurry up and fight. And get inside. We've started, while you wait for nothing. While you wait for nothing... Forget about polite. Get inside.

12) Mint-

I'll take back what is left of what you had barley enough to keep me dead. Tell me how to make some sense of the the mess you left me with.
You used up every chance with me. To settle for you won't settle for me. This need for more has me cold, and shaky. No more waiting for a reaction face when they hear about, the trouble that started when you and I met, and let me remind you I plan to get through, with or without you. Tell me how to make some sense of the the mess you left me with.
You used up every chance with me. To settle for you won't settle for me. Want verus need. Don't push me, I have no need. Buy or sell, those beans are a nuclear falling out, disaster. That called in the troops even faster then when all the lights went to red instead of the days when we made each other. And we try to make some sense of the the mess you left me with. You used up every chance with me. To settle for you won't settle for me. Later please, doesn't put my mind at ease, pushes me away. Say what you have to... And you try to make some sense of the the mess you left me with. You used up every chance with me. To settle for you won't settle for me. Tell me how to make sense of this non-sense, distress. Won't settle down... Later please, doesn't put my mind at ease, pushes me away. Say what you have to say...
