H2O [American Punk Band]

What is the universal language?
Could it be hate if it's not love?
Could it be money, sex or power?
I say it's music and none of the above

When you act that way
Can't you see you're using the wrong fuckin language
A language I don't know

Do you feel an evil in the world?
Do you chase the dollar or the girl?
What's the motivation in your life?
Is it to feel alive? Well then

Try but you can't bring me down
Try but you can't let me
Try but you can't bring me down
Try

I've come too far now
To ever close my eyes
Made my mistakes
And I wear no disguise
I speak my mind and let the rumors
Twist the worlds around
Some try so hard, but no one gets me down

I get so stressed out
I keep running out of time
I'll do my best to make
A better life
I feel your doubt and I don't even
Wonder why
Got it figured out
All I have to do is try

When times get tough, I'll rise above
Can't get me down, no you can't
Let me down, I made my mistakes
Wear no disguise, I've come too far now
To ever close my eyes

She was with him, now everybody knows
Cause she told a friend, and that's the way it goes
People have loose lips, sometimes behind your back
You know, that's how they get their kicks
When the conversation lacks, you know

Tell a tale of contradiction
Gossip causes crucifixtion
They talk too much shut up
They talk too much
And I don't like what they say
It's just a bunch of bullshit anyway

He took her out to see what he could get
He got nothing but had to tell the guys he had
That's how rumors start
Just how they end I don't know
Go on spread the word
I don't listen anymore

I see it in us, I see it in us
I know it's in us but I
I see it in us, I see it in us
I see it's in us but I
I can't quite put my finger on it

We're all guilty of it
How many times do we end up with nothing
When we try real hard and only see it one way
We think we'll go further but where will we be?
Just one step closer, still moving closer
To a million miles backwards
Reality reasons, it wasn't meant to be
All this time I felt so strongly
And it was all for nothing
Nothing

I think I finally figured it out

Hear what I'm saying
It was always true
I was never playing
When it came to you
Never good at showing
What you mean to me
Here's my last chance
To set my mind at ease

And all the times you slipped
Between the cracks disguised
As something sacred
Never knowing that I wanted you
Hold you in my arms, protect you
Never let the world upset you
Handing my life over to you

I was always running searching for excuses not to be together
Now the chase is over with this ring on your finger
This will be forever

Once again you find yourself
Alone without a cause
Still the same bad habits
But you haven't paid the cost
Still searching for the seed
That grew into your need
That's who you are don't hide the scar

Now you look around for sympathy
Your life's a fuckingg mess
And she can't look into your eyes
And never hate to guess
She's looking for a stone
That crushed into your home
And you're still wanting to believe
That you can cover up the scar
That's who you are, we see the scar
That's who and what we see the cut
Wear the scar that's who you are

Thinking back to when
You were a lost and lonely kid
A look back at the tragic
And the damage that it did
Still waiting for the day
It all just goes away
That's who you are don't hide the scar

Now you know the reason
Why you feel so full of hate
Throw a stone I'm sure you'll
Hit someone who can relate
And now you know the reason
For the way you are
But you're still wanting to believe
That you can cover up the scar
That's who you are, we see the scar
That's who and what we see the cut
Wear the scar that's who you are

When you talk about your homelife
I try to identify
With my own memories
Childhood life was such a breeze
But now i'm slipping away
From the boy my mother made
I'm growing on, but i hold on
To the days that made me fell so
Powerless and ignorant
Without a cent, without the sense to know
That one day i would have to try
To survive and go

First time you gotta leave your home
Second time you live alone
Third time you just don't know
Fourth time you gotta pack your life and go

On the day my father died
I was too naive to cry
Inside i was so unclear
I always thought he's reappear
But now i'm slipping away
From the lost child he made
I'm growing but i hold on
To his name and to the days of
Innocence and selfishness
I find these things impossible to shake
But i won't break, until i take
Take a fuckingg chance and go

Standing alone in a situation
Somebody's talking their shit
Trying to control my frustration
Somebody's gonna get hit

But when is it right to fight?
And when is it right to walk away?

Sometimes we have no choice
And this is the price we pay Cause we don't have to be
What people see
Got our own minds
Got our own realities
We try to stick together
And let the music be our might
But this time there's gonna be a fight

We're not about senseless violence
Don't wanna spoil the fun
But when you get pushed, feels like an ambush
And this time you cannot run

This time wrong or right

If I say something that you don't like
Just think about it cause I may be right
If I say something just hear me out
Cause I just might know what I'm talking about

If I say something whatever I say
Cause my words have meaning and that's the truth
Life's full of problems and baby that's ok
Inside the crew and that's the way

So just remember that what I say
When I say something well don't turn your head
I'm here to help you when things go wrong
Lean on my shoulder my friend

Sitting by myself at home
Waiting for a ring
I fight the urge to pick it up
so I can do my thing
I try to stay connected to
The lives of everyone
Tonight i'm calling you
Cause i got nothing better to do
I feel so alone and I
Can't get off the phone
I hope you're not at home cause I
Can't get off the phone

I know it's my obsession
But i see you got nothing better to do
I call because hearing is believing
And the only time I can't hear it ringing
Is when I'm singing
The phone is an extension
To my arm and mind
I talk, talk, talk to dusk to dawn
Cause all I got is time

Am I responsible for what I think and feel?
Is there a model I could never be
Am I depending on you
To show, to say, to tell me what to do
Because I think, I say
It helps me find a way
To voice my opinion without all this shit
And I know, I try to read between the lines
Cause some truth may lie there waiting
But I don't

I won't sit back and let it happen
I will stand up, I won't sit back
And watch the tables turn
Is this a lesson that we've all got to learn

How can one person really know?
And set a path for me to follow
Reality deviod of truth
Can only represent the concrete proof
That I need to hear
It tells me what to fear
To voice my opinion without all this shit

Wake up, don't give up
Get off your knees
It's your last chance
Or will you
Blame it all on circumstance
Where will you go?
When times are slow
And your still
Waiting for your next command
Waiting for your next command
Never gave your dreams a chance
Blamed it all on circumstance
Wake up, don't give up

my family looks out for me,
like friends our story never ends.
we've run into the fire and somehow water comes to save us.
there are so few we can depend on,
with blood there is an honor.
we act like we don't care,
but it's so deep inside

it's more, more than you can see
thicker than water
it means more, so much more to me
thicker than water

we've all been struggling since i was three how happy can we be?
we've turned some bad times into good
always knowing where we stood
now time has led us to the water
we get by on h2o
but we remember what is stronger
and we let it flow

it's more, more than you can see
thicker than water
it means more, so much more to me
thicker than water

it runs so deep inside my veins through all the heartache and pain
and everything i've come to be, its more than you can see (2x)

thicker than water, means more to me (6x)

Look for us in Cali - east bay to LA
Or with our friends in DC - the UST
We made it through the Canadian border
Back home next week in NYC

Because we're faster than the world we can't slow down

I hear the windy city calling - chitown, chitown
As we arrive in Tokyo - edemio
And the kids are cool in Kansas
Tomorrow's the Philly troc show

New York City - you can't slow down
East coast to the west coast - you can't slow down
Japan to Europe - you can't slow down
World wide hardcore punk - you can't slow down

The world will try to catch up
When they think that this is a trend
But we'll keep moving fast enough
And they'll never comprehend

all these politics, it's a deception
falling on america's weak
they say we're keeping ourselves down
we sold out on half ass trailer park dreams
so now we're living with rednecks, racists -blk/white hatred
i'm trying so hard to love my nation
underfed, overbred, i just can't get ahead
it's not about the races or the revelations

people shooting up the blocks because of empty pockets
fighting with the cops because of empty pockets
selling what we got because of empty pockets
blaming every other face for our empty pockets

and i think we need a shift in direction
better wake your ass out of sleep out of sleep and stop juding others
who struggle just like you and me
cause now we're living with hard times, sex crimes
friends are hard to find . i'm trying not to lose my mind
in the low-class, high-class in the middle sinking fast
i know you wanna blame it on my education

i'm hanging on the block because of empty pockets
fighting with the coops because of empty pockets
selling what i got because of empty pockets
blaming every other face to our empty pockets
lost without a trace because of empty pockets
living in a different place because of empty pockets

empty pockets
empty pockets
empty pockets

What if I said, I was an accident waiting to happen
Woudl I trip and fall, fall on my words
And would you say, say that I was wrong
My words were out of place, went where I didn't belong

This to me is fact and fiction plays a role
Confusing situations that I can't control
The heart of matter, it beats with pride
Sometimes I wear it on my sleeve, sometimes I keep it inside

And no one said it was gonna be easy
And I'm not afraid to try
And with the odds stacked up against me, I will have to fight
One life, one chance, gotta do it right!!!

And I can't let fate dictate what's best for me
Gotta take control of my own destiny, you can't relate
You think there's no escape but I got everything at stake
Here just to prove you wrong!

And no one said it was gonna be easy
And I'm not afraid to try
And with the odds stacked up against me, I will have to fight
One life, one chance, gotta do it right!!!

Six years ago, a very hot summer night
Avenue A with my friends hangin tight
No future, no goals, and no destiny
Hangin on the corner for the world to see
Some friends drunk and some friends high
Laughing, talkin shit as the people walked by
Air was dense, muggy as fuck
Lower east side runnin amuck

Guilty by association
Judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends outa trouble when they got no place to go
(2x)

Me drug-free in the midst of it all
Crazy fuckin summer hangin out with Madball
People got their ass kicked, people got hurt
But I was accepted for all it was worth
Bad reputations are hard to live down
I'm not guilty for who I hang around

Guilty by association
Judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends outa trouble when they got no place to go
(2x)

Sometimes I felt like an outcast, tryin to talk my friends outa trouble
Tried to be a positive role model, but I got caught up in the rumble
We had ideas scribbled on walls
Six years later our destiny calls
Living our lives, some of us in bands
Touring the world, but we know where we stand
We play shows together or just hanging out, talkin 'bout the good times

We're still the same fellas, still all tight
Young till we die and ready to fight for what's right
As I look back now on that summer vacation
I realize, I'll always be guilty by association!!

Guilty by association
Judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends outa trouble when they got no place to go
(2x)

As I look back now on that summer vacation
I realize - I'll always be GUILTY BY ASSOCIATION!!!

you look me in my eyes, and i could not see your disguise
i followed every caution that i knew, but now it's no surprise
that you can only talk the talk and now there's nothing left for me to do

i will never hold my breath cause I will only suffocate
and while i'm waiting , time is wasting
and i can only do my best to put another to the test
and while im waiting, you're just fading away

you followed me around and picked my heart up off the ground
you made me wanna be a better me, and then you turned you back
as if our time was all an act, i guess there's nothing left for me to see

i will never hold my breath cause I will only suffocate
and while i'm waiting , time is wasting
and i can only do my best to put another to the test
and while im waiting, you're just fading away

all i could see is what you wanted me to see
all i could hear is what you would never say
and all i could do is just go on without you anyway anyway
i can today while you're fading away

i will never hold my breath cause I will only suffocate
and while i'm waiting , time is wasting
and i can only do my best to put another to the test
and while im waiting, you're just fading away

I got your bootstraps, I'll pull you up and won't think twice
And you can take it as advice, we've got to help each other out
Cause that's what this is all about
And how the fuck can we forget, how we got here today, no way

Now it's time to make it clear, that we would not have made it here
Without the ones who pulled us up, taught us how to make it work
And if you ever get the chance to change somebody's circumstance
I hope you know what you should do
Cause that shit will come back to you

I got your bootstraps, I'll pull you up and won't think twice
And you can take it as advice, we've got to help each other out
Cause this is how we all survive and we're never gonna stay alive
Without each other there's no way, no way

Can I overcome thse things I'm feeling, a coldness deep inside
The violence, the loss of friends, it's got me desensitized
Why in the world, does the world keep trying me
I'll try, don't wanna hear all the hurt, I don't wanna see
Why can't you see

Sometimes I feel numb, I can't feel no pain
Can I overcome, things I can't explain

And I still want to try and trust again
But I just can't believe
The things I read, I just wanna close my eyes
The TV news gets me confused, so now I'm paralysed
And I can't close my eyes, pretending not to see what I've become
Can I overcome

do you remember when we were afraid?
crossing our fingers we'd turn out ok
no faith in the world cause we doubted ourselves
but in time, came to find the hard times had made us strong

chorus
now the fear in me is gone, found the truth within, i'm strong
only affraid of never knowing, all the things i could have never done

do you still feel all alone and betrayed?
kicking yourself for the mistakes you made
well it's time to stand up and set yourself free
the future is waiting while you search for what went wrong

chorus

i remeber all crazy shit we use to do
seemed like we were'nt afraid of anything
we were ready to take on the world,
not worried about our future at all
ah, fuck it we did that shit we were afraid
we were afraid our time was running out
we didn't think we had the same chances as the others had
well guess what? we were wrong

chorus

Old School-Recess!!! (4x)

Where did we go so wrong, how did we last so long
All I can think now that we're here, is when we gonna have
Some fun can't forget what we were, even if it's all a blur
And never forget why we're still young
And how we all still endure

I don't wanna be 13, I only wanna share the scene
All I really want to do is to have Saturday
Everyday for the rest of our lives

Old School-Recess!!! (4x)

When did it come to this, too much of this business
I'm not under no fucking gun
So when we gonna have some fun
Tell me how you got so sad, with all the good times we had
When all you really want is to have Saturday
When you're tired of living in the past - Saturday
When you only want good times to last - Saturday
Everyday for the rest of our lives! - old school- recess (4x)

ain't it strange how time just slips away
then i got your call the other day
all these years and you're still in that place
and you really don't have much to say
like, what about your dreams?
and are they blowing away,
while you sit there wishing you could start again

chorus
are you stuck in a rut? helpless not hopeless
got a fear in your gut? helpless not hopeless
are you waiting for luck? helpless not hopeless

and i know how hard it is to change, with so many lives to
rearrange and every time you feel so close, you forget
about what you want most like what about your dreams ,
and are they blowing away
while you sit there wishing you could start again

chorus

time, it's funny how time slips away
time, and how your dreams fade away
time, and it's hard, hard to make that change
but, you can make that change

chorus

Just when you thought you had it made
You had a life your bills were paid
But your heart was numb inside
Abandoned by your foolish pride
And this I know, nothing comes from shallow goals
I've tried and you will find, all your riches they come from inside

And here it comes that empty feeling again
I wanna help you out
I wanna make you understand what it's about
I'm not just here to be your fairweather friend
We'll see this to the end and get you on your feet again

Now that you've lost, you win so much
Now there's only you to trust, with your mind left open wide
First day of the rest of your life
So now you know there's something you can't control
It's ok, your war has died, but the battle still goes on outside

Stand up - on your feet

s
what else can i say, that's not been said
each day i rise up, thinking i've wised up
i realize that i don't know shit

chorus
i don't know where i'm gonna be - day by day with me
i don't know where i'm gonna land - day by day with me
my five year plan, has turned to ten
and it's all gonna happen

again millenniums coming, better start running
straight for a place in history
so fast the past went, none of our time
spent wondering what's gonna happen to me

chorus

again and again through time i see - day by day
i'm going through changes to find what's best for me - day by day
i know where i am and i know where i'm from
so i got to face the future and take it as it comes

chorus

I'm staying away from your negative space
You're only bringing me down
Whenever you come around
I see the look on your face, you're in a world of hate
Don't wanna be the one you take it out on

Anger is a wall around you
No-one's getting through
Friendships falling down around you
What are you gonna do?

I'm trying to give something positive
You wouldn't understand
Cause it's an open hand
Not a closed fist, are you getting the jist
Or are you just getting pissed

I'm not willing to waste my time
Believing that you're gonna do what's right
I won't be there to catch your fall
Only to find I don't know you at all

Know all about you but are you just a name
You like the feeling a reputation brings
Some say your violent and people are afraid
I say you're silent and holding back the pain
Inside - you just can't live a lie
Inside - just can't live a lie

Reputation calls and now it follows you
But what about the changes you been going through
One of these days the things they say
Won't mean the same as before then when reputation calls
You don't have to answer anymore

One of these days when you don't feel so hard
One of these days when you put down your guard
Heart hanging out for the world to see
When standing alone whole will you be

No more lies with violent ends,
No more fakes disguised as friends,
No one has the time to waste on them!!!

I want you to know, something that I feel
It's deep inside of me and part of you as well
Understanding, it slips so far away and sometimes I can't deal
Don't have the time for someone else's scandal
My own life is hard enough to handle

And I still believe, most people are the same
We're so conflicted and we need someone to blame
Is it just pride or do we have to hide
All our problems, no we will never tell

And we will liberate ourselves from them - liberate
Liberate!!!

Never really been into religion
Never gave a fuck about superstition
But such strange things are happening
First once, then twice, then once again

Never really thought we'd reach a third one
Still there are those who haven't heard one
So we still have such a mission
Our trilogy must have tradition
Then once, I could not believe, even twice I was still naive
In my heart, in my head, these words are said

I don't care what you say, I'll follow the three way

I've never been into science fiction
So I guess this is a contradiction
Or is it just numberology but hey it's looking out for me

Who can I believe in
When all my heroes are gone
Does anybody out there know their right from wrong?
No I can't trust the president
I can't trust the cops
I can't believe my ears when the radio's on
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I'm making my own way
Trying to learn from my mistakes
Cuz I've got no role model
No footsteps I can follow
I'm making my own way
And I can't expect a teacher
To keep me safe from harm
I can't expect a criminal to say he's wrong
But at the lowest standards
I need a stand up friend
Someone I can look up to; put my faith back in
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I'm making my own way
Trying to learn from my mistakes
Cuz I've got no role model
No footsteps I can follow
I'm making my own way
My own way
So I'm turning off the tv
And I smash my radio
Cuz I realize my heroes are the people I already know
And I'm burning up the papers
And tearing up all the magazines
Cuz they make me feel so lonely
When there's no one who represents me
Am I all alone?
Am I all alone?
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I'm making my own way
Trying to learn from my mistakes
Cuz I've got no role model
No footsteps I can follow
I'm making my own way

What if you could live your life
Like you're the only one around
Would you do it just to see if you could
or would it scare you too much
Not to see you friends
Hail, Hail the gangs not here at all

Self reliable
That makes you responsible for
All the lies you told
and you told them to yourself

What if you could live your life
A minute at a time
Make the most of everything you do
or would it scare you too much
to enjoy the life you lead
always complain
about the things that you don't need

Self reliable
that makes you responsible for
all the lies you told
and you're telling to yourself
Self reliable
it may be a lotta work
but in the end it's a job that pays you well
Job that pays you well

Introspection, self-doubt
Just trying to understand
what you're really all about
will it end wth contradiction
would you feel the urge to scream
and wake up from this dream
you don't know why?

Self reliable
that makes you responsible for
all the lies you told
and you're telling to yourself
Self reliable
it may be a lotta work
but in the end it's a job that pays you well
Job that pays you well

Self reliable
that makes you responsible for
all the lies you told
and you're telling to yourself
Self reliable
it may be a lotta work
but in the end it's a job that pays you well
Job that pays you well

Self Reliable
Job that pays you well
Self Reliable
Job that pays you well
Self Reliable
Job that pays you well
Self Reliable

So listen up 'cause this one goes out to the well-behaved
We wonder how we all got so tame
And yes it's true we have to share part of the blame
But I will never understand just how
You can pretend you're a fan when you don't question
The things that you were told
You're so controlled
And you might as well have had the best intentions
Only your heart will ever know

I don't want to be part of the well-behaved
I miss that good old-fashioned chaos
Don't want to be another boring story
Well I miss death or glory

So listen up 'cause this one's all about the game we played
You made the rules and we obeyed
And if we changed it you would only feel betrayed
And you will never understand just how
We can't progress if you invest in the unchanged
'Cause it's so safe to stay the same
But I refused and as long as I exist
I must resist it but I know I'm about to lose

I don't want to be part of the well-behaved
I miss that good old-fashioned chaos
Don't want to be another boring story
Well I miss death or glory

You're so controlled
How could you know?
Went with the flow but are you where you wanna be?

I don't want to be part of the well-behaved
Can't fight the system when you got no rage
And I'm not willing to give it all away

I don't want to be part of the well-behaved
I miss that good old-fashioned chaos
Don't want to be another boring story
Well I miss death or glory

I don't want to be part of the well-behaved
I miss that good old-fashioned chaos
Don't want to be another boring story
Well I miss death or glory

Giving all I got and I feel so drained
Preaching motivation, trying to fan that flame
Now it's time to turn around and do something for me
Something must have changed and you can blame reality

Something's changed but I don't feel the same
No reason why, I got no alibi and no regrets
I must be out of debt
I must be out of debt

Lied awake at night just wondering if I did it right
Tried to be the optimist and help two worlds unite
But now I got to step it up so I don't get left behind
Something must have changed but it's ok and I'm alright

Something's changed but I don't feel the same
No reason why, I got no alibi and no regrets
I must be out of debt
I must be out of debt
I don't owe anymore
I don't owe anymore

I'm still the same, something must have changdd
Now the world has turned and this is what I learned
I've done all I can now I'm changing up the plan
Because I need to find a way to do my own thing

Something's changed but I don't feel the same
No reason why, I got no alibi and no regrets
I must be out of debt
I'm finally out of debt
I must be out of debt
I'm finally out of debt
I don't owe anymore
I don't owe anymore

Am i wasting all my time
Chasing innocence to find
A time of my life when i should have known better
Have i wasted all these years
Hiding back the tears behind a smiling face
AM I LYING

Cause i wanna do whats right
But i need to understand
do i burn a bridge and call it a life lesson
As these thoughts come floating in
Where the memorys raised to high a price to pay

Gonna take a trip down memory lane
For the millionth time today
Im still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And i dont have much to say

As i fumble through my lines
Tripping wires in my mind
Theres a script that falied the breach and im ready
As these thoughts come floating in
Where the memorys raised to high a price to pay

Gonna take a trip down memory lane
For the millionth time today
Im still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And i dont have much to say

Looking forward for tomorrow
Staring down on yesterday
Cant you see that im driving blindly
Cant you see that im
CANT YOU SEE IM DRIVING BLINDLY

Am i wasting all my time
Chasing innocence to find
A time of my life when i should have known better
Have i wasted all these years
Hiding back the tears behind a smiling face

Gonna take a trip down memory lane
For the millionth time today
Im still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And i dont have much to say

I want what the other kids have, I want it all

I want I want what the other kids have
I want brand name shoes /
I want perfect teeth and something to smile about
I want an invitation
And my own cell phone and something to talk about
I want imagination

But there's no money for me to pay
I want I want what I want and I want it now
There's enough food on the table so I guess it's ok
I want I want and I want it now
I want I want
I want I want what the other kids have
I want I want, I want it all

I want I want that video game
Don't want to have to use my brain
I want to go where the cool kids go
I'm sneaking in but they don't know

There's no money for me to pay
I want I want what I want and I want it now
But there's enough food on the table so I guess it's ok
I want I want and I want it now
I want I want, I want it all
I want I want
I want I want what the other kids have
I want I want
I want it all

If I don't get these things I ask for maybe I should run away
But there's enough food on the table so I guess I'll stay
I want I want

I want I want what the other kids have
I want brand name shoes /
I want perfect teeth and something to smile about
I want an imagination

There's no money for me to pay
I want I want what I want and I want it now
But there's enough food on the table so I guess it's ok
I want I want and I want it now
I want I want what the other kids have
I want I want I want what the other kids have
I want I want I want it all

well those 5 years are gone now,
so i've got a plan that's new.
I'm seeing the future.
but I can't forget my roots cause it's still not a concept,
someone made up on tv.
it's still something real,
way down deep inside of you and me.
(Chorus:)
All the bands we loved the most,
all the songs that give us hope reasons we're still here today,
people change but songs remain,
songs remain, songs remain in our hearts.
no matter what we do, i know you can feel it,
dispite our different views.
so if you make a connection,
we'll have both sides to see,
and noone can take that away from you,
and noone can take that away from me.
All the bands we loved the most,
all the songs that give us hope,
reasons we're still here today,
people change but songs remain.
and when you put that music on you can feel it,
you just know it, it's right for you.
and even though the times have changed that spirit,
i still feel it, it carries on,
and even though your life has changed that spirit,
you still feel it, it carries on, it carries on in every song.
All the bands we loved the most,
all the songs that give us hope,
reasons we're still here today,
people change but songs remain
(chorus 2 more times)

H2O - Forest King

Do what you want
It really doesn't matter anyway
A lot of different people
Got a lot of different things to say
But - what is a reason for hunting anything
What are you hiding
What are you running from
What went wrong and made you kill for fun
It just don't make sense!

Clawed my way to the top of the food chain
God gave me the biggest brain
Used my smarts to build a weapon
Now I am the forest king

Do what you want
I just don't see the reward
No matter how you slice it
Killing is a cowardly sport
Murderous ambition, your ammunition
You really slay thef u c k i n' competition!
A little trigger to help you turn a boy to a man
I don't understand!

Clawed my way to the top of the food chain
God gave me the biggest brain
Used my smarts to build a weapon
Now I am the forest king (2x)

(guitar solo)

It's just common sense! (2x)

Clawed my way to the top of the food chain
God gave me the biggest brain
Used my smarts to build a weapon
Now I am the forest king

Now I am the forest king
(Do what you want,
it really doesn't matter anyway)
I am the forest king
(Do what you want,
it really doesn't matter anyway)
I am the forest king
(Do what you want to, Do what you want to)
I am the forest king!

At the cost of living I die
At the cost of dying I live
At the chance of sounding selfish
It's my life time
On the chance that I'll survive
And I'll keep my soul alive
Written on the wall and sign says
It's my life time

Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me

At the cost of losing I win
At the cost of winning I lose
I guess I only have to choose
'Cause it's my life time
On the chance the world slows down
And I'm finally losing my ground
In the end I hear the sound
And it's my life time

Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me

Somebody tell me what I'm doing here
I can't find the answers in the dark
You want to know about my biggest fear?
It's wasted time, time, time
Am I wasting time?

Standing here waiting for a sign
All I want to know is am I wasting time
Click click click time
Click click click time
Click click click am I wasting time?

Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Am I wasting time?

Sunshine!
It's so revealing in my head.
It's still unwinding from the road
Where I've been broken down.
But it's nothing that I can't fix.

I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.

In my mind I'm always seeing someone else's pain.
Then I remember when I felt the same.
It takes a little patience, but some time will heal the scars.

I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.

I'm alive, I never thought I'd wake up.
And now I know I still believe.
Inside the fog is lifting
Now I see what I've been missing.
And I know I only had to stop.
And pack my things it's time to go. Let's go.

I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
Fix me up and take me home.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
Fix me up and take me home.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.

[background vocals during chorus:]
It's time to hold it down. Check your bags, and get up off the ground. Dust yourself off and repair.

Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name, and it feels like...

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
Down on my knees I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there

I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice I hear your voice
Feels like fire

I close my eyes, oh god I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
Down on my knees I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there

Like a child, you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a dream
Now I'm chasing

It's like a dream, no ending no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream

When you call my name it's like a little prayer
Down on my knees I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
Down on my knees I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there

Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like it used to be, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you don't know what you see
Just like a prayer your voice can take me there

Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
