Can't Believe

Respect, respect what is found 
Respect should be abound 
Respect everything that you leave 
I can't believe 

I can't believe 
Can't believe 

And I, I can't believe 
I can't believe all the travesty 
Surrounding me , I want to flee 
I want to flee from everything 
In front of me 

I can't believe 
Can't believe 

Never again, trusted in you 
Fuck everything that you think I should be 
I stand, never again, never again 

I can't believe 
Can't believe

Change

If ever you had said to me before 
That I would live this life 
That I am Living now 
I guess it's all so strange 
To feel the way I do inside 
But have so much that I could feel 
Some pride for in my life 
So why is it that I feel like this 

How do I feel? 
I've been here before 
I've felt this 
Retreat to a place, 
A place within me 
I need this. 
Keep it all down, 
Bottled inside 
It breaks me. 
To torment again 
And torture me 
Like it used to 

I try and try to break away 
From all the hate I'm feeling 
For everyone of you 
That's ever Done me wrong. 
I need to justify the reasons 
For the way I'm living. 
I guess I can't 'cause 
I don't feel like I deserve it 

How do I feel? 
I've been here before 
I've felt this 
Retreat to a place, 
a place within me 
I need this. 
Keep it all down, 
Bottled inside 
It breaks me. 
To torment again 
And torture me 
Like it used to 

So now the waves they have subsided 
And my soul is bleeding I can't take away 
All The shame I feel forgive me 

How do I feel? 
I've been here before 
I've felt this 
Retreat to a place, 
a place within me 
I need this. 
Keep it all down, 
Bottled inside 
It breaks me. 
To torment again 
And torture me 
Like it used to

Epiphany

Your words to me just a whisper 
Your face is so unclear 
I try to pay attention 
Your words just disappear 

'Cause it's always raining in my head 
Forget all the things I should have said 

So I speak to you in riddles 
'Cause my words get in my way 
I smoke the whole thing to my head 
And feel it wash away 
'Cause i can't take anymore of this 
I wanna come apart 
And dig myself a little hole 
Inside your precious heart 

Cause it's always raining in my head 
Forget all the things I should have said 

I am nothing more than 
A little boy inside 
That cries out for attention 
Yet I always try to hide 
'Cause I talk to you like children 
Though I don't know how I feel 
But I know I'll do the right thing 
If the right thing isn't feel 

Cause it's always raining in my head 
Forget all the things I should have said

Fade

I try to breathe
Memories overtaking me
I try to face them but
the thought is too
Much to conceive

I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
That my life became 'cause

I just needed someone to talk to 
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me to
Express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface
I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

So where were you
When all this I was going through
You never took the time to ask me 
Just what you could do

For You


To my mother, to my father,
It's your son or it's your daughter,
Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me?
Should I turn this up for you?

I sit locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence gets us nowhwere!
Gets us nowhere way too fast!

The silence is what kills me
I need someone here to help me
But you don't know how to listen
And let me make my decisions 

'Cause I sit here locked
inside my head remembering everything you've said
The silence gets us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere to fast!

All your insults and your curses make
me feel like I'm not a person
And I feel like I am nothing but
you made me so do something
'Cause I'm fucked up because you are
Need attention, attention you couldn't give

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence get us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere way to fast

Its Been Awhile

It's been awhile, since I could 
Hold my head high 
It's been awhile since I first saw you 
It's been a while since I could stand 
On my own two feet again 
It's been awhile since I could call you 

But everything I can't remember 
As fucked up as it all may seem 
The consequences that I've rendered 
I've stretched myself beyond my means 

It's been awhile since I could say 
That I wasn't addicted 
It's been a while since I could say 
I love myself as well 
It's been awhile since I've gone and fucked things up 
Just like I always do 
But all that shit seems to disappear 
When I'm with you 

But everything I can't remember 
As fucked up as it all may seem 
The consequences that I've rendered 
I've gona and fucked things up again. 

Why must I feel this way 
Just make this go away 
Just one more peaceful day 

It's been awhile since I could 
Look at myself straight 
It's been awhile since I said I'm sorry 
It's been awhile since I've seen the way 
the candles light your face 
But I can still remember 
Just the way you taste 

But everything I can't remember 
As fucked up as it all may seem to be 
I know it's me 
I cannot blame this on my father 
He did the best he could for me 

It's been awhile since I could 
Hold my head up high 
And It's been awhile since I said I'm sorry...

Open Your Eyes

As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of people's feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof overhead
A crackhead asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do

A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation there's no room in jail
But most of you don't give a shit
That your daughters are porno stars
And your sons sell death to kids
You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix

You turn away
As I walk along the streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain

Back to Top

Outside

And you, bring me to my knee, again. 
And all the times, that i had to beg you please, in vain. 
And all the times, that I've felt insecure, for you. 
And I leave my burdens at the door. 

but I'm on the outside 
I'm looking in 
I can see through you, 
see your true colors. 
'cause inside you're ugly. 
Your ugly like me. 
I can see through you 
see to the real you. 

And all this time 
that i felt like this won't end, 
was for you. 
And I taste 
but i could never have, 
its from you. 
And all this time that i tried, 
my intention, Full of pride 
And i waste more time than anyone. 

I'm on the outside, 
I'm lookin' in, 
I can see through you, 
see your true colors, 
'Cause inside your ugly, 
your ugly like me 
I can see through you 
see to the real you. 

All the times that I've cried, 
all this wasted it's all inside 
and i feel all this pain 
Stuffed it down it's back again 
and i lie here in bed 
all alone i can't mend 
and i feel tomorrow will be okay 

I'm on the Outside 
I'm lookin' in, 
I can see through you 
see your true colors 
'Cause inside your ugly 
your ugly like me 
Ican see through you 
see to the real you

Pressure

I just need this to be all right
I can't feel this another night

I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
Necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping can't stay awake

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this

Too much pressure
If you need me I'll be here
Half unconscious to escape my fear

My head hurts this shit isn't getting me high
My chest is so tight I think I am going to die
My stomach's in knots and the room starts to spin
As I wait for this valium to slowly kick in

Back to Top

Safe Place

Another day
Inside my world
I'm married to
you and this road.
A road that never lets
me sleep .
So theres no way to escape the 
demons I am forced to keep.

And then I find you here
Through your eyes
Everything's clear
And I'm home
Inside your arms, 
But I'm alone for now.

I mean the best
with what I say.
It doesn't always
sound that way
I never learned to
Work things out cause
In my family all we
Ever seem to do is shout

But then I find you here
Through your eyes,
everythings clear
And I'm home
inside your arms,
but I'm alone for now.

And when I try to sleep-
the drugs I take
are killing me - I think of you
to ease my pain - 
but you're so far-
Now it's time to say goodbye.
I love you baby
please don't cry -
'cause then I'll find you here -
Through your eyes everythings clear -
and I'm home inside your arms - but I'm alone for now.

But then I find you here
Through your eyes,
everythings clear
And I'm home
inside your arms,
but I'm alone for now.

Suffer

The more you see the more you do 
The television's feeding you 
With what you want to hear, anger and fear, 
Because you suffer 
The hate you feel won't go away 
You're all programmed to feel this way 
To live another day within a world 
that loves to suffer 

And then I come to find 
Everything's okay 
Seen this all before 
But that was yesterday 
Try to walk right through 
The messes that I've made 
Just let me enjoy 
The life here that I made 

I tried to give this all to you 
Can't take anymore to do 
With this it hurts inside, I know why I hide 
'Cause I suffer 
I tried to keep it all inside 
Didn't leave me too much pride 
I forced it all down inside forced myself 
To make me suffer 

And then I come to find 
Everything's okay 
Seen this all before 
But that was yesterday 
Try to make it through 
The messes that I've made 
So I can enjoy 
The life here that I made 

And then I come to find... 

And then I come to find 
Everything's okay 
Seen this all before 
But that was yesterday 
Try to walk right through 
These messes that I've made 
Just try to enjoy 
This life here that I have

Back to Top

Take It

I feel like this won't go away
no matter how hard I try 
to squeeze my eyes shut 
so i can't see the pain 
in you this pain in me - in me

But everything that I can say to you 
Won't help you - everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it

I know that I am really not here 
to represent what I am not clear 
About in my head sometimes 
I feel fucked up just like you do - like you do

But everything that I can say to you 
Won't help you - everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it

Try to make it through the daily pain 
That you feel - maybe tomorrow won't be so bad. 
It know it 
'cause I once felt that way 
Nothing I could say
Made it go away 
I lived through this 
I still feel this 
I just live for my tomorrow 

Make it go away
Just make it go away
She'll make it go away

Back to Top

Waste

You mother came up to me
She wanted answers only she should know
Only she should know

It wasn't easy to deal
With the tears that rolled down her face
I had no answers 'cause
I didn't even know you

But these words
They can't replace
The life you...
...the life you waste

How could you paint this picture?
With life as bad as it should seem
That there were no more options for you
I can't explain how I feel
I've been there many times before
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me

But these words
They can't replace
The life you...
...the life you waste

Did Daddy not love you?
Or did he love you just too much?
Did he control you?
Did he live through you at your cost?
Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own?

WELL FUCK THEM!
AND FUCK HER!
AND FUCK HIM!
AND FUCK YOU!
For not having
The strenght in your heart
To pull through!
I've had doubts!
I have failed!
I've fucked up!
I've had plans!
Doesn't mean
I should take
My Life
With my own hands

But these words
They can't replace
The life you...
...the life you waste

But these words
They don't replace
The life you...
THE LIFE YOU WASTE
