Don't Stay
Sometimes I need to remember just to breathe Sometimes I need you to stay away from me Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know Somehow I need you to go
Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into Just give me myself back and Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you Just give me myself back and Don’t stay
Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know Somehow I need to be alone
Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into Just give me myself back and Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you Just give me myself back and Don’t stay
I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignored I don’t need one more day of you wasting me away I don’t need you anymore, I don’t want to be ignored I don’t need one more day of you wasting me away
With no apologies
Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities What you were changing me into Just give me myself back and Don’t stay Forget our memories Forget our possibilities Take all your faithlessness with you Just give me myself back and Don’t stay
Don't stay
Don't stay
Somewhere I Belong
(When this began) I had nothing to say And I get lost in the nothingness inside of me (I was confused) And I let it all out to find That I’m not the only person with these things in mind (Inside of me) But all the vacancy the words revealed Is the only real thing that I’ve got left to feel (Nothing to lose) Just stuck/ hollow and alone And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I’ve held so long (Erase all the pain till it’s gone) I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along Somewhere I belong
And I’ve got nothing to say I can’t believe I didn’t fall right down on my face (I was confused) Looking everywhere only to find That it’s not the way I had imagined it all in my mind (So what am I) What do I have but negativity ’Cause I can’t justify the way, everyone is looking at me (Nothing to lose) Nothing to gain/ hollow and alone And the fault is my own, and the fault is my own
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I’ve held so long (Erase all the pain till it’s gone) I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along Somewhere I belong
I will never know myself until I do this on my own And I will never feel anything else, until my wounds are healed I will never be anything till I break away from me I will break away, I'll find myself today
I wanna heal, I wanna feel what I thought was never real I wanna let go of the pain I’ve held so long (Erase all the pain till it’s gone) I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m close to something real I wanna find something I’ve wanted all along Somewhere I belong
I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong I wanna heal, I wanna feel like I’m somewhere I belong Somewhere I belong
Lying From You
When I pretend everything is what I want it to be I look exactly like what you always wanted to see When I pretend, I can’t forget about the criminal I am Stealing second after second just cause I know I can but I can’t pretend this is the way it’ll stay I’m just (trying to bend the truth) I can’t pretend I’m who you want me to be, so I’m
(Lying my way from you) No no turning back now (I wanna be pushed aside so let me go) No no turning back now (Let me take back my life,I’d rather be all alone) No turning back now (Anywhere on my own cuz I can see) No no turning back now (The very worst part of you is me)
I remember what they taught to me Remember condescending talk of who I ought to be Remember listening to all of that and this again So I pretended up a person who was fittin’ in And now you think this person really is me and I’m (Trying to bend the truth) But the more I push the more I'm pulling away 'cuz I'm
(Lying my way from you) No no turning back now (I wanna be pushed aside so let me go) No no turning back now (Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone) No turning back now (Anywhere on my own cuz I can see) No no turning back now (The very worst part of you) (The very worst part of you is ME)
This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would have you running from me Like This This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would have you running from me Like This This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would have you running from me Like This This isn’t what I wanted to be, I never thought that what I said would have you running from me Like This
(You) No turning back now (I wanna be pushed aside so let me go) No no turning back now (Let me take back my life I’d rather be all alone) No turning back now (Anywhere on my own cuz I can see) No no turning back now (The very worst part of you) (The very worst part of you is me)
Hit The Floor
There are just too many times that people have tried to look inside of me Wondering what I think of you and I protect you out of courtesy Too many times that I’ve held on when I needed to push away Afraid to say what was on my mind afraid to say what I need to say Too many things that you've said about me when I’m not around You think having the upper hand means you gotta keep putting me down But I’ve had too many standoffs with you it’s about as much as I can stand So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine
(One minute you're on top) The next you're not watch it drop (Making your heart stop) Just before you hit the floor (One minute you're on top) Next you're not missed your shot (Making you're heart stop) You think you've won (And then its all gone)
So many people like me put so much trust in all your lies So concerned with what you think to just say what we feel inside So many people like me walk on eggshells all day long All I know is that all I want is to feel like I’m not stepped on There are so many things you say that make me feel you've crossed the line What goes up will surely fall and I’m counting down the time Cause I’ve had so many standoffs with you it’s about as much as I can stand So I'm waiting until the upper hand is mine
(One minute you're on top) The next you're not watch it drop (Making your heart stop) Just before you hit the floor (One minute you're on top) Next you're not missed your shot (Making you're heart stop) You think you've won (And then its all gone) (And then it’s all gone) (And then its all gone) (And then it’s all gone) (Now it’s all gone)
I know I’ll never trust a single thing you say You knew your lies would divide us but you lied anyway And all the lies have got you floating up above us all But what goes up has got to fall
(One minute you're on top) The next you're not watch it drop (Making your heart stop) Just before you hit the floor (One minute you're on top) Next you're not missed your shot (Making you're heart stop) You think you've won (And then its all gone) (And then it’s all gone) (And then its all gone) (And then it’s all gone) (Now it’s all gone)
Easier To Run
It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone
Something has been taken from deep inside of me The secret I've kept locked away no one can ever see Wounds so deep they never show they never go away Like moving pictures in my head for years and years they've played
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (If I could take all the shame to the grave I would) (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (I would take all my shame to the grave)
It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone
Sometimes I remember the darkness of my past Bringing back these memories I wish I didn't have Sometimes I think of letting go and never looking back And never moving forward so there'd never be a past
(If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (If I could take all the shame to the grave I would) (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (I would take all my shame to the grave)
Just washing it aside All of the helplessness inside Pretending I don't feel misplaced It's so much simpler than change
It's easier to run Replacing this pain with something numb It's so much easier to go Than face all this pain here all alone
It's easier to run (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made) It's easier to go (If I could change I would take back the pain I would) (Retrace every wrong move that I made I would) (If I could stand up and take the blame I would) (I would take all my shame to the grave)
Faint
I am a little bit of loneliness a little bit of disregard Handful of complaints but I can’t help the fact that everyone can see these scars I am what I want you to want what I want you to feel But it's like no matter what I do, I can't convince you, to just believe this is real So I let go, watching you, turn your back like you always do Face away and pretend that I'm not But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I got
(I can't feel the way I did before) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored) (Time won't heal this damage anymore) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored)
I am a little bit insecure a little unconfident Cause you don't understand I do what I can but sometimes I don't make sense I am what you never wanna say but I've never had a doubt It's like no matter what I do I can't convince you for once just to hear me out So I let go watching you turn your back like you always do Face away and pretend that I'm not But I'll be here 'cause you're all that I've got
(I can't feel the way I did before) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored) (Time won't heal this damage anymore) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored)
(No) (Hear me out now) (You're gonna listen to me, like it or not) (Right now) (Hear me out now) (You're gonna listen to me, like it or not) (Right now)
(I can't feel the way I did before) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored)
(I can't feel the way I did before) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored) (Time won't heal this damage anymore) (Don't turn your back on me) (I won't be ignored)
I can't feel Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored Time won't heal Don't turn your back on me I won't be ignored
Figure.09
Nothing ever stops all these thoughts and the pain attached to them Sometimes I wonder why this is happening It's like nothing I can do would distract me when I think of how I shot myself in the back again 'Cause from the infinite words I could say I Put all pain you gave to me on display But didn't realize instead of setting it free I Took what I hated and made it a part of me
(Never goes away) (Never goes away)
(And now) (You've become a part of me) (You'll always be right here) (You've become a part of me) (You'll always be my fear) (I can't separate) (Myself from what I've done) (Giving up a part of me) (I've let myself become you)
Hearing your name the memories come back again I remember when it started happening I see you in every thought I had and then The thoughts slowly found words attached to them And I knew as they escaped away I was committing myself to them and everyday I regret saying those things cuz now I see that I Took what I hated and made it a part of me
(Never goes away) (Never goes away)
(And now) (You've become a part of me) (You'll always be right here) (You've become a part of me) (You'll always be my fear) (I can't separate) (Myself from what I've done) (Giving up a part of me) (I've let myself become you)
(Never goes away) (Never goes away) (Never goes away) (Never goes away)
(Get away from me) Give me my space back you gotta just (Go) Everything comes down the memories of (You) I've kept it in but now I'm letting you (Know) I let you go so get away from (Me) Give me my space back you gotta just (Go) Everything comes down the memories of (You) I've kept it but now I'm letting you (Know) I let you go
(And now) (You've become a part of me) (You'll always be right here) (You've become a part of me) (You'll always be my fear) (I can't separate) (Myself from what I've done) (Giving up a part of me) (I've let myself become you)
I've let myself become you I've let myself become lost inside these thoughts of you Giving up a part of me, I've let myself become you
Breaking The Habit
Memories consume Like opening the wound I'm picking me apart again You all assume I'm safe here in my room Unless I try to start again
I don't want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I know it's not alright So I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit Tonight
Clutching my cure I tightly lock the door I try to catch my breath again I hurt much more Than anytime before I had no options left again
I dont want to be the one The battles always choose 'Cause inside I realize That I'm the one confused
I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream I don't know why I instigate And say what I don't mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So, I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit Tonight
I'll paint it on the walls 'Cause I'm the one at fault I'll never fight again And this is how it ends
I don't know what's worth fighting for Or why I have to scream But now I have some clarity to show you what I mean I don't know how I got this way I'll never be alright So, I'm breaking the habit I'm breaking the habit I’m breaking the habit Tonight
From The Inside
I don’t know who to trust no surprise (Everyone feels so far away from me) Heavy thoughts sift through dust and the lies (Trying not to break but I’m so tired of this deceit) (Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet) (All I ever think about is this) (All the tiring time between) (And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you
Tension is building inside steadily (Everyone feels so far away from me) Heavy thoughts forcing their way out of me (Trying not to break but I’m so tired of this deceit) (Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet) (All I ever think about is this) (All the tiring time between) (And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you
I won’t waste myself on you You You Waste myself on you You You
I’ll take everything from the inside and throw it all away Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you
Everything from the inside and just throw it all away Cuz I swear for the last time I won’t trust myself with you You You
Nobody’s Listening
Yo, peep the style and the kids checking for it The number one question is how could you ignore it We drop right back in the cut over basement tracks With raps that got you backing this up like Rewind that we're just rolling with the rhythm Rise from the ashes of stylistic division With these non-stop lyrics of life living Not to be forgotten but still unforgiven But in the meantime there are those who wanna talk this and that So I suppose that it gets to a point where feelings gotta get hurt And get dirty with the people spreading the dirt
it goes
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me) Told you everything loud and clear (But nobody’s listening) (Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me) Told you everything loud and clear (But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress handfull of anger, held in my chest And everything left’s a waste of time I hate my rhymes, but hate everyone else’s more I’m riding on the back of this pressure Guessing that it’s better I can’t keep myself together Because all of this stress gave me something to write on The pain gave me something I could set my sights on Never forget the blood sweat and tears The uphill struggle over years the fear and Trash talking and the people it was to And the people that started it just like you
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me) Told you everything loud and clear (But nobody’s listening) (Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me) Told you everything loud and clear (But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress handfull of anger, held in my chest Uphill struggle Blood sweat and tears Nothing to gain Everything to fear
Heart full of pain, head full of stress handfull of anger, held in my chest Uphill struggle Blood sweat and tears Nothing to gain Everything to fear
Heart full of pain
(Tried to give you warning but everyone ignores me) Told you everything loud and clear (But nobody’s listening) (Called to you so clearly but you don’t want to hear me) Told you everything loud and clear (But nobody’s listening)
I got a heart full of pain, head full of stress (Nobody’s listening) handfull of anger, held in my chest (Nobody’s listening) Uphill struggle Blood sweat and tears (Nobody’s listening) Nothing to gain Everything to fear (Nobody’s listening)
Coming at you from every side
Numb
I'm tired of being what you want me to be Feeling so faithless lost under the surface Don't know what you're expecting of me Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
I've become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me Holding too tightly afraid to lose control Cause everything that you thought I would be Has fallen apart right in front of you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) Every step that I take is another mistake to you (Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow) And every second I waste is more than I can take
I've become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know I may end up failing too But I know You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there Become so tired so much more aware I'm becoming this all I want to do Is be more like me and be less like you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there I'm tired of being what you want me to be I've become so numb I can't feel you there I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Papercut
Why does it feel like night today? Something in here's not right today. Why am I so uptight today? Paranoia's all I got left I don't know what stressed me first Or how the pressure was fed But I know just what it feels like To have a voice in the back of my head Like a face that I hold inside A face that awakes when I close my eyes A face watches every time I lie A face that laughs every time I fall (And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim That the face inside is hearing me Right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know I've got a face in me Points out all my mistakes to me You've got a face on the inside too and Your paranoia's probably worse I don't know what set me off first But I know what I can't stand Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is I can't add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside A face that awakes when I close my eyes A face watches every time they lie A face that laughs every time they fall (And watches everything)
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim That the face inside is watching you too Right inside your skin
(x2) It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
The face inside is right beneath your skin(x3)
The sun goes down I feel the light betray me The sun goes down I feel the light betray me
The sun I feel the light betray me The sun I feel the light betray me
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back It's like a whirlwind inside of my head It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
One Step Closer
I cannot take this anymore Saying everything I've said before All these words they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Less I hear the less you'll say You'll find that out anyway
Just like before...
Everything you say to me Takes me one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I need a little room to breathe Cause I'm one step closer to the edge I'm about to break
I find the answers aren't so clear Wish I could find a way to disappear All these thoughts they make no sense I find bliss in ignorance Nothing seems to go away Over and over again
Just like before...
Everything you say to me Takes me one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I need a little room to breathe Cause I'm one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break
Shut up when I'm talking to you Shut up, shut up, shut up Shut up when I'm talking to you Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up
I'm about to BREAK
Everything you say to me Takes me one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break I need a little room to breathe Cause I'm one step closer to the edge And I'm about to break
With You
I woke up in a dream today To the cold of the static, and put my cold feet on the floor Forgot all about yesterday Remembering I’m pretending to be where I’m not anymore A little taste of hypocrisy And I’m left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react So even though you’re so close to me You’re still so distant And I can’t bring you back
It’s true the way I feel Was promised by your face The sound of your voice Painted on my memories Even if you’re not with me
I’m with you You Now I see keeping everything inside You Now I see Even when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back We fall to the floor, the rest of the day stands still Fine line between this and that When things go wrong I pretend the past isn’t real Now I'm trapped in this memory And I’m left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react So even though you’re close to me You’re still so distant And I can’t bring you back
It’s true the way I feel Was promised by your face The sound of your voice Painted on my memories Even if you’re not with me
(2X) I’m with you You Now I see keeping everything inside You Now I see Even when I close my eyes
No matter how far we've come I can't wait to see tomorrow No matter how far we've come, I I can't wait to see tomorrow
(2X) I’m with you You Now I see keeping everything inside You Now I see Even when I close my eyes

Crawling
Crawling in my skin These wounds they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface Consuming/confusing This lack of self-control I fear is never ending Controlling/I can't seem
To find myself again My walls are closing in (without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take) I've felt this way before So insecure
Crawling in my skin These wounds they will not heal Fear is how I fall Confusing what is real
Discomfort,endlessly has pulled itself upon me Distracting/reacting Against my will I stand beside my own reflection It's haunting how I can't seem...

Runaway
Graffiti decorations Under a sky of dust A constant wave of tension On top of broken trust The lessons that you taught me I learn were never true Now I find myself in question (They point the finger at me again) Guilty by association (You point the finger at me again)
I wanna run away Never say goodbye I wanna know the truth Instead of wondering why I wanna know the answers No more lies I wanna shut the door And open up my mind
Paper bags and angry voices Under a sky of dust Another wave of tension Has more than filled me up All my talk of taking action These words were never true Now I find myself in question (They point the finger at me again) Guilty by association (You point the finger at me again)
I wanna run away Never say goodbye I wanna know the truth Instead of wondering why I wanna know the answers No more lies I wanna shut the door And open up my mind
i'm gonna run away and never say goodbye (gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away) i'm gonna run away and never wonder why (gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away) i'm gonna run away and open up my mind (gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
I wanna run away Never say goodbye I wanna know the truth Instead of wondering why I wanna know the answers No more lies I wanna shut the door And open up my mind
i wanna run away and open up my mind i wanna run away and open up my mind i wanna run away and open up my mind i wanna run away and open up my mind
By Myself
What do I do to ignore them behind me? Do I follow my instincts blindly? Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams? And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening? Do I sit here and try to stand it? Or do I try to catch them red-handed? Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness, Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness? Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin I make the right moves but I'm lost within I put on my daily facade but then I just end up getting hurt again By myself [myself]
(x2) I ask why, but in my mind I find I can’t rely on myself
I can’t hold on To what I want when I’m stretched so thin It’s all too much to take in I can’t hold on To anything watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I Turn my back I’m defenseless And to go blindly seems senseless If I hide my pride and let it all go on then they’ll Take from me ‘till everything is gone If I let them go I’ll be outdone But if I try to catch them I’ll be outrun If I’m killed by the questions like a cancer Then I’ll be buried in the silence of the answer by myself [myself]
(x2) I ask why, but in my mind I find I can’t rely on myself
I can’t hold on To what I want when I’m stretched so thin It’s all too much to take in I can’t hold on To anything watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in
How do you think I’ve lost so much I'm so afraid that I'm out of touch How do you expect... I will know what to do When all I know Is what you tell me to
(x2) Don’t you know I can’t tell you how to make it go No matter what I do, how hard I try I can’t seem to convince myself why I’m stuck on the outside
(2X) I can’t hold on To what I want when I’m stretched so thin It’s all too much to take in I can’t hold on To anything watching everything spin With thoughts of failure sinking in
In The End
(It starts with) One thing / I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To explain in due time All I know time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It’s so unreal Didn’t look out below Watch the time go right out the window Trying to hold on / but didn’t even know Wasted it all just to Watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn't even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn't even matter One thing / I don’t know why It doesn’t even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mocking me Acting like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I’m surprised it got so (far) Things aren’t the way they were before You wouldn’t even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me In the end You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this There’s only one thing you should know I tried so hard And got so far But in the end It doesn’t even matter I had to fall To lose it all But in the end It doesn’t even matter
A Place For My Head
I watch how the Moon sits in the sky / in the dark night Shining with the light from the sun The sun doesn't give / light to the moon assuming The moon’s going to owe it one It makes me think of how you act to me / You do Favors and then rapidly / You just Turn around and start asking me / about Things that you want back from me I’m sick of the tension / sick of the hunger Sick of you acting like I owe you this Find another place / to feed your greed - While I find a place to rest I want to be in another place I hate when you say you don’t understand (You’ll see it's not meant to be) I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy A place for my head Maybe someday I’ll be just like you / and Step on people like you do and / Run Away the people I thought I knew I remember back then who you were You used to be calm / used to be strong Used to be generous / but you should’ve known / That you’d Wear out your welcome / now you see How quiet it is / all alone / I’m so Sick of the tension / sick of the hunger Sick of you acting like I owe you this Find another place / to feed your greed - While / I find a place to rest / I’m so Sick of the tension / sick of the hunger Sick of you acting like I owe you this Find another place / to feed your greed - While / I find a place to rest You try to take the best of me Go away
Forgotten
(2X) From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core I’ve forgotten In the middle of my thoughts Taken far from my safety The picture is there The memory won’t escape me But why should I care
There’s a place so dark you can’t see the end Skies cock back and shock that which can’t defend The rain then sends dripping / an acidic question Forcefully, the power of suggestion Then with the eyes shut / looking thought the rust and rot And dust / a small spot of light floods the floor And pours over the rusted world of pretend The eyes ease open and its dark again
From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core I’ve forgotten In the middle of my thoughts Taken far from my safety The picture is there The memory won’t escape me But why should I care
In the memory you’ll find me Eyes burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up
Moving all around / screaming of the ups and downs Pollution manifested in perpetual sound The wheels go round and the sunset creeps behind Street lamps, chain-link and concrete A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats On down the street till the wind is gone The memory now is like the picture was then When the paper’s crumpled up it can’t be perfect again
(2X) From the top to the bottom Bottom to top I stop At the core I’ve forgotten In the middle of my thoughts Taken far from my safety The picture is there The memory won’t escape me But why should I care
In the memory you’ll find me Eyes burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up
Now you got me caught in the act You bring the thought back I’m telling you that I see it right through you (x7)
In the memory you’ll find me Eyes burning up The darkness holding me tightly Until the sun rises up (x2)
Pushing Me Away
I've lied to you The same way that I always do This is the last smile That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
(Everything falls apart Even the people who never frown Eventually break down) The sacrifice of hiding in a lie (Everything has to end You'll soon find we're out of time left To watch it all unwind) The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away Why I played myself this way Now I see you're testing me pushes me away Why I never walked away Why I played myself this way Now I see your testing me pushes me away
I've tried like you To do everything you wanted too This is the last time I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

Given Up
Wake in a sweat again Another day's been laid to waste In my disgrace
Stuck in my head again Feels like I'll never leave this place There's no escape
I'm my own worst enemy
I've given up I'm sick of feeling Is there nothing you can say
Take this all the way I'm suffocating Tell me what the fuck is wrong With me
I don't know what to take Thought I was focused but Im scared I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate Looking for help somehow somewhere And no one cares
I'm my own worst enemy
I've given up I'm sick of feeling Is there nothing you can say
Take this all the way I'm suffocating Tell me what the fuck is wrong With me
Goddddddd!!!!
Put me out of my misery Put me out of my misery Put me out of my Put me out of my fucking misery
I've given up I'm sick of feeling Is there nothing you can say
Take this all the way I'm suffocating Tell me what the fuck is wrong With me
Leave Out All The Rest
I dreamed I was missing You were so scared But no one would listen Cause no one else cared
After my dreaming I woke with this fear What am I leaving When I'm done here
So if you're asking me I want you to know
When my time comes Forget the wrong that I've done Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed
And don't resent me And when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest
Don't be afraid I've taking my beating I've shared what I've been
I'm strong on the surface Not all the way through I've never been perfect But neither have you
So if you're asking me I want you to know
When my time comes Forget the wrong that ive done Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me And when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest
Forgetting All the hurt inside You've learned to hide so well
Pretending Someone else can come and save me from myself I can't be who you are
When my time comes Forget the wrong that ive done Help me leave behind some Reasons to be missed
Don't resent me And when you're feeling empty Keep me in your memory
Leave out all the rest Leave out all the rest
Forgetting All the hurt inside You've learned to hide so well
Pretending Someone else can come and save me from myself I can't be who you are I can't be who you are
Bleed It Out
Yeah here we go for the hundredth time Hand grenade pins in every line
Flow em up and let something shine Going out of my fucking mind
Fithy mouth, no excuse Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from atop these roofs Knot it tight so i won't get loose
Truth is you can stop and stare Run myself out and no one cares
Dug the trench out lay it down there With the shovel up out of reach somewhere
Yeah, someone pour it in Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out digging deeper Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Go start the show Drop your boys and the sloppy flow
Shotgun I put lock and load Cock it back and then watch it go
Mama help me I've been cursed Death is rolling in every verse
Candy paint on this brand new hearse Can't contain him he knows he works
Practice hurts I wont lie Doesn't matter how hard I try
Half the words dont mean a thing And I know that I wont be satisfied
So why try ignoring it Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out digging deeper Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
I've opened up these skies I'll make you face this
I bought myself some fire I'll make you, face, this, now!!!!
I bleed it out digging deeper Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper Just to throw it away
I bleed it out digging deeper Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away Just to throw it away
I bleed it out I bleed it out I bleed it out
Shadow Of The Day
I close both locks below the window I close both blinds and turn away
Sometimes solutions aren't so simple Sometimes good bye's the only away
And the sun will set for you The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And cards and flowers on your window Your friends all plead for you to stay
Sometimes beginnings aren't so simple Sometimes good bye's the only way
And the sun will set for you The sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
And the shadow of the day Will embrace the world in grey
And the sun will set for you
What I've Done
In this farewell There’s no blood There’s no Alibi ‘Cause I’ve Drawn Regret From the truth Of a Thousand Lies
So let Mercy Come And Wash Away What I’ve Done
I'll face myself To Cross out what I’ve Become Erase Myself And let Go of What I’ve done
Put to rest What you Thought of Me While I clean this Slate With the Hands of Uncertainty
So let Mercy Come And Wash Away What I’ve Done
I'll face myself To Cross out what I’ve Become Erase Myself And let Go of What I’ve done
For What I’ve Done I start again And whatever pain may come Today this ends I’m Forgiving What I’ve Done!!!
I'll face myself To Cross out what I’ve Become Erase Myself And let Go of What I’ve done
What I’ve Done Forgiving What I’ve Done
Hands Held High
Turn my mike up louder I got to say something Light weights step to the side when we come in
Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumping People on the street they panic and start running
Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming I jump on my mind, I summon the rhyme, I'm dumping
Feeling the blind I promised to let the sun in Sick of the dark ways we marched to the drumming
Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping Fuck that I wanna see some fists pumping
Miss something, take back what's yours Say something that you know they might attack you for
Cause I'm sick of being treated like I had before Like the stupid standing for what I'm standing for
Like this war's really just a different brand of war Like it doesn't cater the rich and the fan and poor
Like they understand you in the back of the jet When you can't put gas in your tank
These fuckers are laughing the way to the bank and cashing the check Asking you to have the passion and have some respect
For a leader so nervous in an obvious way Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day In their living room laughing like "what did he say?"
Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen
In my living room watching but I am not laughing Cause when it gets tense I know what might happen
World is cold the bold men take action Have to react to get blown into fractions
Ten years old is something to see Another kid my age drug under the jeep
Taken and bound and found later under the tree I wonder if he thought the next one could be me
Do you see the soldiers they're out today They brush the guts with bullet proof vests away
It's ironic at times like this you pray But a bomb blew up the mosque yesterday
There's bombs in the buses, bikes, roads Inside your market, your shops, your clothes
My dad he's got a lot of fear I know But enough pride inside not to let that show
My brother had a book he would hold with pride A little red cover with a broken spine
On the back, he handwrote a quote inside When the rich wage war it's the poor who die
Meanwhile, the leader just talks away Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay
And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day In their living room laughing like "what did he say?"
Amen Amen Amen Amen Amen
His hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you
His hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you
His hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you
His hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you
His hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you
His hands held high into a sky so blue As the ocean opens up to swallow you
No More Sorrow
Are you lost In your lies Do you tell yourself I don't realize
Your crusade's a disguise Replace freedom with fear You trade money for lives
I'm aware of what you've done
No no more sorrow I've paid for your mistakes You're time is borrowed Your time has come to be replaced
I see pain I see need I see lies and thieves Abused power with greed
I had hope I believed But I'm beginning to think that I've been decieved
You will pay for what you've done
No no more sorrow I've paid for your mistakes You're time is borrowed Your time has come to be replaced
Face the hypocrite Face the hypocrite Face the hypocrite
No no more sorrow I've paid for your mistakes You're time is borrowed Your time has come to be replaced
No no more sorrow I've paid for your mistakes You're time is borrowed Your time has come to be replaced
Your time has come to be replaced Your time has come to be erased
Valentine's Day
My insides all turned to ash, so slow And blew away as I collapsed, so cold A black wind took them away, from sight And now the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer Looking so dissatisfied But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing I used to be my own protection, but not now Cause my path has lost direction, somehow A black wind took you away, from sight And now the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer Looking so dissatisfied And the ground below grew colder As they put you down inside But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
So now you're gone, and I was wrong I never knew what it was like, to be alone
On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day (I used to be my own protection, but not now) On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day (Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow) On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day (I used to be my own protection, but not now) On a Valentine's Day, on a Valentine's Day (Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
In Between
Let me apologize to begin with Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to be genuine was harder than it seemed But somehow I got caught up in between
Let me apologize to begin with Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to be someone else was harder than it seemed And somehow I got caught up in between
Between my pride and my promise Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
And things I want to say to you get lost before they come The only thing that's worse than one is none
Let me apologize to begin with Let me apologize for what I'm about to say
But trying to regain your trust was harder than it seemed But somehow I got caught up in between
Between my pride and my promise Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come The only thing that's worse than one is none The only thing that's worse than one is none
And I cannot explain to you And anything I say or do or plan
Fear is not afraid of you But guilt's a language you can understand
I cannot explain to you And anything I say or do I hope the actions speak the words they can
For my pride and my promise For my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come The only thing that's worse is
Pride and my promise Between my lies and how the truth gets in the way
The things I want to say to you get lost before they come The only thing that's worse than one is none The only thing that's worse than one is none The only thing that's worse than one is none
In Pieces
Telling me to go But has begged me to stay
Your lips say that you love Your eyes say that you hate
This truth in your lies Doubt in your faith What you've built you laid to waste
This truth in your lies Doubt in your faith All I've got's what you didn't take
So I, I won't be the one Be the one to leave this In pieces
And you You will be alone Alone with all your secrets And regrets
Don't lie
You promised me the sky Then toss me like a stone
You wrap me in your arms And chill me to the bone
This truth in your lies Doubt in your faith All I've got's what you didn't take
So I, I won't be the one Be the one to leave this In pieces
And you You will be alone Alone with all your secrets And regrets
Don't lie
So I, I won't be the one Be the one to leave this In pieces
And you You will be alone Alone with all your secrets And regrets
Don't lie
The Little Things Give You Away
Water creeps Through the windows, up the stairs
Chilling rain Like an ocean everywhere
Don't wanna reach for me do you I mean nothin to you The little things give you away
And now there will be no mistakin The levees are breakin
All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water I Do
Hope decays Generations disappear
Washed away As a nation simply stares
Don't wanna reach for me do you I mean nothin to you The little things give you away
But there will be no mistakin The levees are breakin
All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under water I Do
All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you
And six feet under ground now I Now I do
Little things give you away Little things give you away Little things give you away Little things give you away Little things give you away
(Little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
All you've ever wanted Was someone to truly look up to you
(Little things give you away)
No Roads Left
Standing alone with no direction How did I fall so far behind? Why Am I searching for perfection? Knowing it's something I won't find
In my fear and flaws I let myself down again All because
I run Till the silence splits me open I run Till it puts me underground Till I have no breath And no roads left but one
When did I lose my sense of purpose? Can I regain what's lost inside? Why do I feel like I deserve this? Why does my pain look like my pride?
In my fear and flaws I let myself down again All because I let myself down In my fear and flaws
I run Till the silence splits me open I run Till it puts me underground Till I have no breath And no roads left but one No roads left but one
In my fear and flaws I let myself down again All because
I run And the silence splits me open I run And it puts me underground But there's no regret And no roads left to run
