Checking in every morning
To the sound of steam and caffeine The sludge in the bottom of the cup Just like the sludge in the stream Slag heap keep growing higher Every morning the sky, it's on fire And it's only 9 AM again Is there an upside to every downside? Keep it inside, it's a downward slide of broken glass Keeps building in piles And I don't know I don't know if the sun ever smiles It's the black sheets of rain Following me again Everywhere I go Everywhere I've been Following me again I feel the toxins fill my blood stream as I'm walking through the parking lot Over and over and over and over and over and over The clouds hanging over Choking the life out of me The motto seems to be ""We work in order to be free"" It's the black sheets of rain Following me again Everywhere I go Everywhere I've been Following me again Over and over and over and over and over and over again Where were you in my hour of need (I never see the sun stop shining) The clouds roll over the sunlight (Someone stopped the sun from shining) And I stand here, ready to bleed (I never see the sun stop shining) A little rain is all we need (Someone stopped the sun from shining) Where will you be in my darkest hour of need? (I never see the sun stop shining) Where will you be in my darkest hour of need? (Someone stopped the sun) Here it comes again |

Stand guard over what is mine
Stand guard day and night to watch over me and mine I keep at a distance, it suits me just fine I need no assistance, I stand guard all the time I meant it as a threat It's a promise you can keep Don't want no interference Standing up in my sleep Stand guard over sea and land I watch what they've done to this earth, I don't need no master plan When all the consequences have far been outweighed by selfish reward I feel an obligation sometimes I'm not quite sure what it's toward There's got to be some reason that we all keep on living More often than not we leave this earth With at least two handfuls of misgiving I stand guard over what is rightfully mine I watch all this beauty disintegrating To stand guard is not enough Makes me feel like I'm waiting for something horrendous to happen but I stand guard over family and friends It's all that I can do to stand here and watch how this lifetime ends I've never felt as much as I feel for you now I'm not about to stand here and watch this whole world bring you down I see how it brings you down But I will stand guard for you I will stand guard over you |

In the forest all the trees are turning black
And sorry's the only way I know how to react I can feel it coming on I can tell it's coming on Another minor disagreement Another something else gone wrong Give me one good reason Yeah just give me one more chance And I might take it back The words, all the words we never say Well I don't wanna be the one to tell you life shouldn't be this way But I'm a fool, I've been known to play the fool But I'm not kidding anymore, I know I'm happy being here with you What's the use in trying if you'll never understand You could make me understand if you just Give me one good reason and I'll never ask again Give me one good reason just make sure I understand All I need is one good reason, nothing more or less Give me one good reason, one good reason, nothing less Nothing less Nothing less Nothing less than less than What's the use in trying if you'll never understand You could make me understand if you just Give me one good reason just make sure I understand All I need is one good reason, nothing more or less Give me one good reason, one good reason, nothing less All I need is one good reason |

A moment sits suspended in time what I a time I had with you
Living in your fantasy world, well there ain't much of a view I rarely stepped outside of myself, always caught up in between Some place I thought was good for my health and the place I've always been So let me tell you now Oh, you better stop your crying 'Cause you're feeling so damn happy You try to make me feel like dying Oh, you better stop your crying 'Cause the tears that are running down your face They don't make me feel like dying I guess I never wanted to crash in the wave of your emotion I walked away from all of the trash looking for a perfect ocean But lately I've been finding myself fighting upward int he stream And who could tell that I'm living in hell? Lord, I must be dreaming Oh, you better stop your crying 'Cause I don't listen to you anymore even when you know you're lying Oh, I see the story on your face Stop your crying, 'cause you can't make me feel like dying So now the party's come to and end and to end a perfect time I send you love and all of the best, and all the rest is mine And I'd rather sit and talk to myself after all is said and done What happens next, hey no one can tell, and I ain't tellin' no one Oh, you better stop your crying 'Cause the tears that are running down your face They don't make me feel like dying Oh, you better stop your crying You ain't even trying, you better stop your crying |

Another exit on the freeway
Another bridge I cannot bear to cross alone And I've been on the mend I've been getting ready to change my name again And once I had a love so fair Once I had a reason to keep on Left a paragraph taped up on my door It said "Don't wait up 'cause I ain't comin' home" So I've been driving far and wide to find my call in life Been looking for a place where I belong I guess a little pain never killed anyone I guess I feel that way again I can't come clean, I cannot stay Got no reason to explain I've been here too long, I need a change And I hope you'll understand Stained glass window never gonna carry my name Been laid to rest in a field of sticks and stones And above my head all that's left are footsteps Of some kid too young too far away from home So don't send me invitations to your big parade Place of residence unknown In my eyes there is no compromise There is no calm before the storm These things happen all the time Should I throw myself from the hanging tree? Is there a place for those of us who don't belong? I haven't found it yet |

I recall what it felt like years ago
And it's all I wanna know And if I don't seem to deal too well With being left alone It's only 'cause I want you for my own Can't you hear me calling you out? Can't you see me falling to the ground? To the ground Well I hope that you'll be happy If it's happiness you find But I can't seem to get you off my mind I wonder where you're going to And I wonder where you've been I wonder if we'll ever meet again Can't you hear me calling you out? Can't you see me falling to the ground? Oh, you'll never know how much i adored you Every time I look around and see how much I ignored you But I don't mind You keep taking up all my time Does it matter to you? Does it matter to me? Does it matter anymore? You win again You win again You win again The more you try to move away The tighter I hold on (Listen, can't you hear me calling?) But what will you hold onto when I'm gone? (Jesus, can't you see me falling?) But you've made other plans And I guess I understand (Listen, can't you hear me calling?) I ain't got much choice but to understand (Jesus, can't you see me falling?) Can't you hear me calling you out? Can't you see me falling to the ground? Can't you hear me calling you out? Can't you see me falling to the ground? You win again |

If you want me out of your life
Now all you gotta do is tell me I ain't got a life of my own And the one I got with you could kill me You've been taking some time, does it weigh on your mind? If you think you've got an answer tell me, I don't know But if you want me out of your life Now all you gotta do is tell me If you want me out of the way Now all you gotta say is something And do you think you'll tell me today? Well it seems I'm waiting here for nothing You still call me your friend, yeah I think you're pretending If you keep on ignoring me then I will go But if you want me out of your life Now all you gotta do is tell me When all this confusion goes, what else could there be But this feeling I knew that turned out to be true When I saw you walking out you turned your back on me If you want me out of your life Now all you gotta do is tell me I ain't got a life all alone And the one I had with you near killed me Now it's time to catch up on the ones I forgot It took losing you to find the things that I still got But if you want me out of your life Now all you gotta do is tell me Tell me Tell me now, and I will get out of your life |

Well I'm sorry you're disappointed
But times they change and so did I Standing still and getting nowhere quicker Well it seems I didn't have to try But now I've found a reason to move on And you won't miss me much now that I'm gone You don't seem disappointed The three years I went to college Didn't make much of a difference to me Made me feel so safe I didn't have to think About the things I really wanna be So don't get caught up in that trap They'll make you feel like you've been trapped Into owing them your gratitude And all the other platitudes That make you feel important when you go But now I've found a reason to move on And you won't miss me much now that I'm gone You don't seem disappointed 'Cause when you're gone, somebody else will come along and take your place It doesn't make me feel any less a member of the human race This ain't no race Well I'm sorry you're disappointed But I don't feel that way today I am free from all the crazy games you played I am free from all the things you say And I don't mean to make a mockery of the things you thought I'd say when I left, but I'm not disappointed And if I felt the urge to say you're wrong Well, I just hold the words inside and laugh And you'd be disappointed So disappointed So disappointed |
