The cracks are showing, on my face
I didn't think that I was, that old my story is I weathered every storm I, pulled it through Falling by the wayside, I've seen a few But I never went down, never went down I never will Taken every single blow and countered Never went down, never went down, and better still Look at my face and see your father I'm ready to take my turn Taking the shot that I've earned Chance is what keeps me rolling Rolling Diamonds in my eyes Oceans full of pride Can't you see I'm only human I'm in perpetual motion I'm rolling, rolling Can't you see I'm only human The cracks are showing, on my face The well ain't empty, never out of place It seems to be harder, for some maybe And I won't play, the game of wait and see But I never went down, never went down I never will Taken every single blow and countered Never went down, never went down, and better still Look at my face and see your father I'm ready to take my turn Taking the shot that I've earned Chance is what keeps me rolling Rolling Diamonds in my eyes Oceans full of pride Can't you see I'm only human I'm in perpetual motion I'm rolling, rolling Can't you see I'm only human I don't fight I win, underneath it I'm human And my pride is not a sin, underneath it I'm human and I respect my mistakes, and decisions that I make In time I've earned my cake, have my cake and then I'll eat it I'm ready to take my turn Taking the shot that I've earned Chance is what keeps me rolling Rolling Diamonds in my eyes Oceans full of pride Can't you see I'm only human I'm in perpetual motion I'm rolling, rolling Can't you see I'm only human |

I'm standing on a ledge cold and naked
Will someone come and offer me their help Sometimes I forget my medication Sometimes I forget to pray I'll make it through this fuckin' day I'm unconscious, drunk and blinded Count to ten and then I unwind it I'm unconscious, drunk and blinded Take a deep breath and then I unwind it I'm wearing out my skin I'm under pressue Pressure makes me burn it makes me ache Sometimes I want to burn the things that make me... Sometimes I stop myself too late It's written all across my face I'm unconscious, drunk and blinded Count to ten and then I unwind it I'm unconscious, drunk and blinded Take a deep breath and then I unwind it Wired, wired I'm in a zone, I'm in a zone, I'm a zone This is how I live I never have to justify my actions Scathing rhetoric my saving grace Sometimes I really think that it's too noisy Sometimes I have to hit myself Words can kill as well as help I'm unconscious, drunk and blinded Count to ten and then I unwind it I'm unconscious, drunk and blinded Take a deep breath and then I unwind it Wired, wired I'm in a zone, I'm in a zone, I'm in a zone This is how I live You can't touch me, ever Fear burns at my touch Standing on a ledge will you come and help Will you burn yourself, would you help me then Fear burns at my touch, in it's wake An ugly jagged scar across your face I'm unconscious, I'm unconscious, I'm unconscious, I'm unconscious Count to ten, I'm unconscious Take a deep breath and then I unwind it Wired, wired I'm in a zone, I'm in a zone, I'm in a zone, This is how i... How I live, how I live, how I live, how I live I'm in a zone, I'm in a zone, I'm in a zone, This is how I live |

Yeah, yeah, yeah
It's difficult for me to get a grip of what you mean When you stick your fingers in your ear and create another scene You always step into the trap set perfect in your path Busy going crazy over whose knife's in your back Dive inside your blackest stare The one that's saying, "Do you dare?" Huh, screaming that you're scared You the tallest soul With the shortest self-esteem Painted as a victim (victim) Who's split between the beams It doesn't seem to matter There's nothing, no Dead a dream is dying There's nothing Best friend I never had Playin' me to the point of pushing me too far away I can only say, "Whatever," ambivalent to your game You can pretend to the mirror, it's the lie you tell yourself And I won't walk on eggshells that's a dance for someone else Dive inside your blackest stare The one that's saying, "Do you dare?" Ha, screaming that you're scared You the tallest soul With the shortest self-esteem Painted as a victim (victim) Who's split between the beams It doesn't seem to matter There's nothing, no Dead a dream is dying There's nothing Best friend I never had, go It doesn't seem to matter There's nothing, no Dead a dream is dying There's nothing It doesn't seem to matter There's nothing, no Dead a dream is dying There's nothing Best friend I never had Best friend I never had |

I try to imagine the best place I've been
Can I go back again? Open my eyes, what was no longer exists I can't go back again I'd like to pretend that nothing has changed It never went too far But it started to lose me like a four-hour movie I'd already seen Holding onto my memory of What this used to be Holding onto my memory of you Sometimes I tell myself that things are okay Another lie, but it makes me feel better Never as old as I was today I'm gonna breakdown, breakdown In American Pompeii In American Pompeii I break myself just to live this way Never as old as I was today American Pompeii Look in my eyes and see how sick I feel About what you've become Filthy and twisted like you never existed I know what you were Your beauty forgotten under mountains of schism I don't want to climb Giving up my memory of what this used to be I'm giving up my memory of you Sometimes I tell myself that things are okay Another lie, but it makes me feel better Never as old as I was today I'm gonna breakdown, breakdown In American Pompeii In American Pompeii I break myself just to live this way Never as old as I was today American Pompeii Ah, yeah In American Pompeii In American Pompeii I break myself just to live this way Never as old as I was today American Pompeii Start to imagine the best place I've been Can I go back again? Open my eyes, what was no longer exists I can't go back again I'm giving up my memory of what this used to be I'm giving up my memory of you |

Killing myself
Someone said the fix is in Killing myself Once again, once again Over easy Burnt, my mind is overdone Life's a jigsaw Why can't I find the missing one Even though I've felt I've proven What it is I'm worthy of I can't exist inside the boundaries Of the so-called world of love Someone rescue my downward virtue I dropped the ball again Hands that touch me Take 'em all away Patronizing Will you hear what I say F**k your caring No one knows what's in my heart Bring it all down Break it all down to parts Everytime I have considered why it is I'm even here Calm collected copasetic, no good reasons why I fear No one rescue my downward virtue Even though I've felt I've proven What it is I'm worthy of I can't exist inside the boundaries Of the so-called world of love No one rescue, no one rescue I dropped the ball again I never felt for you for anyone I never ate off the same plate Drop the ball I dropped the ball I take from you, I rape from you I kill myself when I think of you Drop the ball I dropped the ball I take from you, I break from you I used to know how to be human Drop the ball I dropped the ball I take from you, I hate from you No one rescue my downward virtue No one rescue, no one rescue |

I've changed, by staying the same
What does it mean to be different ? You've changed, faced from the start Tell me, an alternative to what ? How does it feel ? How does it feel to be part of the picture you... Paint me into a corner Tearing my niche, 'Cause I'm the opposite of opposite Test your new model and see Test your new model against the original I'm the man you wanna be So test your new model and once again you fail me Planted, I'm staying in touch Driven, by something with substance Plugging, away I'm O.K. You'll be, here today, gone today How does it feel? How does it feel to be part of the picture you... Paint me into a corner Tearing my niche 'Cause I'm the opposite of opposite Test your new model and see Test your new model against the original I'm the man you wanna be So test your new model and once again you fail me For me, things are the same I have no problem with fame I can be every man 'Cause my friends never shout my name Test your new model and see Test your new model against the original I'm the man you wanna be So test your new model and once again you fail me |

Standing on some dotted line
Reacting to the hands of time A circumstance that I've been fed Leaving questions in my head Find the space that was left bare An empty space I'd gladly share One must live while one must die Combined paired up for so many years Unsure if I really want to shed a tear Signing off is always so clearly done A number 2 is now reduced to one Find the space that was left bare An empty space I'd gladly share When your clock is up And you rest for good I will cut off my armpiece Just like we agreed we would One must live while one must die While the other argues that The world ain't fair But then who ever promised Anybody equal share You might as well forget What you gambled on 'Cause plans never go by the way they're drawn When your clock is up And you rest for good I will cut off my armpiece Just like we agreed we would One must live while one must die I can't say good-bye It's all I can do to get up every morning And when all else fails I try To face myself and everything else But mostly I wonder why |
