Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen For a start Reminding us We could be torn apart Tonight Death is everywhere There are lambs for the slaughter Waiting to die And I can sense The hours slipping by Tonight Come here Kiss me Now Come here Kiss me Now Death is everywhere The more I look The more I see The more I feel A sense of urgency Tonight Come here (touch me) Kiss me (touch me) Now (touch me) (touch me) There are flies on the windscreen There are lambs for the slaughter There are flies on the windscreen Come here (touch me) Kiss me (touch me) Now (touch me) (touch me) Come here (touch me) Kiss me (touch me) Now (touch me) (touch me) |

Another pendulum is swinging towards the left and to the left again
I tried to stay to the right and do what's right and we're all aware it's a constant fight You know it I've been the one away I'll be the first to say Now I've become the rat in experiments that I invent and I put myself through I can't explain the process in my brain when all I say comes out the same Like white noise I've been the one away I'll be the first to say As a way I've been, it's not cool To be the one with nothing I've always got nothing |

That's the way I like it
That's the way I want it That's the way I like it And that's the way I want it I'm a dumb ass, I go too fast When I shouldn't be moving at all I know I'm the last and your only chance At having something meaningful I won't ever be tricked into thinking that she loves me Because no one does and no one will And that's the way I like it And that's the way I want it I jump into things, buying wedding rings When I can't keep myself in line Try to stop myself, put it on its shelf And save it for another time I won't ever be tricked into thinking that they love me Because no one does and no one will And that's the way I like it And that's the way I want it That's the way I like it That's the way I want it Here I am again, left to my own devices This is the last time anyone can bring me down I won't ever be tricked into thinking that she loves me Because no ones does and no one will I won't ever be tricked into thinking that they love me Because no one does and no one will |

I feel the train changing tracks
The sound of that, I reminisce I try so hard to stay intact No one knows, no one cares I'll take whatever you've got I'll take whatever you feed me When it's time for me to come down There's never a compromise, you know I'll take whatever you give And what you give I'll put in me When it's time for me to come down There's never a compromise, you know it, you know it I feel the thoughts that you don't have Think of me, you probably don't Disappointment's all I know And all I do but I say I won't I feel the train changing tracks The sound of that, I reminisce Disappointment's all I know And all I do but I say I won't I'll take whatever you've got And what you give I'll put in me I'll take whatever you've got You know it, you know it |

Now that I'm out of the nut house and on my own
Having worn out my welcome in every home I'm to blame For all of the things that went wrong I'm just a case away From losing it all, I slip to fall I live two minutes from where I bought medicine Escape as the guy on my way to sober friends Time creeps by when out in reality Sometimes my feet start walking unconsciously I've got some time, but I've got my life to go I wish the best for us all, but I don't know |

You fall like a waterfall
Pulling down your insincerities I erode you to your bedrock And, in the fossils, the inscription reads If you think you've made history You're not as huge as you thought So pull the safety pins out your palms There's no more room on the cross So step off Your presence is a gaping hole A wound from which your contradictions bleed It's documented in my laptop And it just reaffirms statistically that If you think you've made history You're not as huge as you thought So pull the safety pins out your palms There's no more room on the cross So step off |

I've been trying my hardest, but it's not good enough
I'm back where I started, when life was tough on me There's only so much you can do when it's started Pull away, pull away, just pull away You can try to no avail to discard it Go away, go away, just go away Just go away Solve all of my problems, for everyone but me How is that a solution or recovery? I've done it again, let down my closest friend At least he used to be until I pushed you away You'll never understand and I'll never understand How I could do these things when I miss you more than anything I stopped my ill behavior and I'm up off the floor It didn't stop the pain, it cleared the way for more, much more I've done it again, let down my closest friend At least he used to be until I pushed you all away from me You'll never understand, I don't understand How I could do these things when I miss you more than anything I've done it again, let down my closest friend At least he used to be until I pushed you far away from me You'll never understand 'cause I'll never understand How I could do these things when I miss you more than anything |

Yes, hello, it's me
Sir Positivity So turn the mic gain up Let's force another one Should I grin and stay hopeful When we both look to different lights About what we perceive as high? It's not the same It won't ever be the same We're not the same And we'll never be the same Well, I've been crowned the king of Insensitivity So put your thick skin on Let's force another one Should I grin and stay hopeful When you're here with your eyes half-closed? But that tired routine gets old It's not the same It won't ever be the same It's not the same It won't ever be the same We're not the same We won't ever be the same Respect the fact That I feel it everyday It's not the same It won't ever be the same Respect the fact That I feel it everyday |

You don't know me, think you can judge me
Budge me, rape me, love me You wait for me to just believe you Like all the times before I was young then, ask for it again I feel the sweat in my eyes How could you treat me just like a child when I couldn't even realize Do you love me? Do you need me? Maybe someday, yeah Do you please me? So I'll please you Don't drag me, don't you drag me down Now I know you, think that I love you Trust you, want you, don't you You want me to be afraid to Say anything on my mind I can't understand why another man Wouldn't leave you alone Maybe they don't see what I see I hope you're left on your own |

See the signs I've been waiting here for you But nothing's getting through I am gone Up in the clouds Praying I can turn, Turn myself around A year ago I gave it a year I hoped it wouldn't happen Now its here It took so long I can't carry on I know the reason that you left me You had nothing more to give me No more love I can see See your eyes I can feel your heady stare I run my fingers through my hair I am high As one can be And I hope I don't come down, I hate when I come down A month ago I know you lied Took my life into your hands You just don't understand How it feels To be free I know the reason that you left me You had nothing more to give me |

Deep, deep, slowly
I'm slowing down not to be found for a while I keep thinking the past few days Sometimes I'm wrong, wrong in my ways I tell myself someday I've got to explain Now I've become what I said Said I'd never come to You just figured that I Would never care about anything Sleep, sleep, lonely again Toss in my bed, regret what I said to you I can't stop thinking of how you cried You're probably drinking, tomorrow you'll lie I know myself, it's something I can't control |

Sitting here thinking about what
What everything means to me Do I want it all? Can I take it all? Sitting here thinking about you Do I need this jealousy? What do you mean to me? What do you really mean to me? I know what you're feeling Here I am again I'll regret what I've been to you And there's nothing I can do Sitting here thinking about why I sometimes scare myself I'm so high above I rose so high above Sitting here thinking about how You want me on the ground You can't bring me down I'm never ever coming down Sitting here thinking about how How I'm giving in I should be giving up I should have given up Sitting here thinking about why I'm jumping in again More than a friend More towards the end again |

I can see you, but I don't know what you're thinking
I can feel you, but I don't know what you're feeling You take me away when I look in your eyes I can't reach you no matter how hard I try I don't care what gets in the way Some days I don't know what to say I can't get this through to you Maybe you just don't want me to try I can touch you, but I don't know if you'll let me If you let me, I don't know if I'll want to You push me away and I don't come back Sometimes it's so hard to get you to react I don't care what gets in the way Some days I don't know what to say I can't get this through to you Maybe you just don't want me to try I can't help it, I'm too young to be truthful Maybe I'm not good enough to deserve you You lead me astray and I can't fight back Can't you help me? I want you to protect me I don't care what gets in the way Some days I don't know what to say I can't get this through to you Maybe you just don't want me to I don't care what gets in the way Some days I don't know what to say I can't get this through to you Maybe you just don't want me to try |

How much longer will I be waiting for you?
You know I've been thinking of what I'm gonna do I knew when I saw you, the look on your face I hardly had to ask you over to my place I've been waiting, anticipating you You know it's just a waste of time Hoping I would change my mind What's this coming over me? I don't feel free anymore I could please you, but I don't choose to now I've got needs, you know, please fulfill them somehow I know I seem demanding, but it's all worthwhile I need your understanding of how to make me smile I can see you're working out just fine What do you think you mean to me? How important you must seem What's this coming over me? I don't feel free anymore |

But this convenience ain't convenient anymore Now I realize I had different eyes Back when I thought this was a good thing Here I am, my anger and me Temper makes it hard to see This situation I'm in again Everything must come to an end now There's some things that I wanna do And I don't wanna lie to you But it still makes me go And do the things I know All wrong I'll dig to learn about you I'm sure I'll find you were as evil as me We can call it even, you can let me leave then You can leave me to my own thing |

These days I'm getting older
Before my time To say I'm getting stronger Would be a lie I think you're trying to break me Seems so unreal Don't know how to take me Don't know how I feel Look around you Do you see what I see? Other people think you try to Make a fool of me It seems to take so long 'Til anything gets done Why do I have to lose to get things? I've never won I'm defeated again I see the look on your face I've got that feeling again My mouth has a bad taste My hope in empty promise Put me to shame I know it's what you wanted I need the pain I was gonna be someone You held me down Didn't want me to move on You let me drown |

It's been such a long time I'm walking a fine line Now we're walking out Why can't I see things Like I'm supposed to see things? I'm not supposed to be this way Not this time around Sometimes I feel so empty So much pain I still ignore Everyday I endure Sometimes I feel so empty So much pain I still ignore Everyday you want more My expectations Were high in the first place Were high in the worst way It leaves me so down I give up easily Can't speak so freely Won't someone release me? Just this time around Sometimes I feel so empty So much pain I still ignore Everyday I endure Sometimes I feel so empty So much pain I still ignore Everyday you want more |

Why did it take you so long? I hear you say It all depends on how your point of view can change Round and round, rearrange I don't count the days All along, I didn't listen physically I have come to find what's not mine I thought was a given And all the while, I feel like I could go either way Behind your backs, I just may I don't count the days All along, I could do anything Anything without you, anyway |

I correct myself, I mean all the time I feel like complaining, but it only bothers you The things I do, they make your blood run cold There's a lot of things That no one likes but I want the answers now Must be all confused somehow Did you say what I heard about? I've heard a million things Gossip's being sent to me I don't wanna believe it Until I hear it from your mouth Tell me why are you friendly to my face? What I mean is barely nice When I'm not around, hear you like to put me down Embarassment is what I get |

The past few years have been so trying
Between the drugs and the drinking and the touring In my eyes I'm stabilized And all I need is you, someone who understands I know you now The shortest yet And we just met I thought that you'd be different Then again You came on strange But still the same As what I know I try and try and then I'm alone again Now my life's become a challenge Because my confidence has been decreased profoundly In my mind I've realized I'm stuck on a worthless hill with no one who understands |

I live under a sky of angels
Bulletproof vest of all my dangers I've been deceived by all the flowers planted around me Sweet smell replaced all the, all the vapors Everyday you think I live a lie You think I want to die? But can't you see I'm what I want to be? Everyday you think I live a lie You think I want to die? But can't you see I'm what I want to be? I've been misunderstood about my being around I can't seem to stop letting people down - or that's what they say I still don't care about them or what they're thinking, what they're thinking It's not fair for anyone to believe them or me or the papers (Oh, jeez, you know what I did?) (What'd you do?) Now I know what my destiny is It's the ultimate rift In the little will I have I'm not gonna last 'til the end I'm still my only friend Now I know what to do Much to your dismay I'm choosing a day To find my new home And the answer to my biggest question |
