Medicate
I've been lying awake at night
I've been hoping that I'm alright
I've been winding myself too tight
Wondering if I will sleep tonight
Never thought things would get like this
Always hoping that they'd work out
Still ingesting the wrong amount
Now I seem to be filled with doubt
I cannot stop this ride
I'm growing cold inside
I shouldn't let it slide
Will sickness be mine
This should not be my weight to bear
Go on acting like I don't care
Stop this high....I wouldn't dare
I have earned and deserve my share
Things like this happened every day
While I'm in there I feel okay
But you say I should get away
Let me go for just one more day
Chorus x 2
I've got to medicate myself, I'm not concerned about my health
It covers up what I've been dealt, it seems the only way
I've got to medicate myself, it's been the only thing that helped
Must cover up what I've felt, it seems the only way
Chorus x 2
Sickness is mine, sickness is mine, sickness is mine
Endangered Species
I try to simplify
These thoughts that plague our minds
What is this mood we're in
We live like saints with sin
How much to dignify
The facts that come to light
We've lost the will to fight
At the top of the food chain we arrive
Are we destined to grow old
Are we really the right strain to survive
We've got to redeem our souls
Unable to comply, so eager to defy
The risk when you apply
It hurts when loved ones die
Where is the moment when
Existence will depend
The test of now and then
Chorus
Constant ending, no real mending
If we keep on living, like we are
There isn't a chance that we'll get very far
So much wasted, so much lost
It's our job to alter the terrible cost
Chorus
We are the endangered species
We're running out of time
Recognize
Well I've had enough of these selfish crimes.
I hurt myself again not knowing why.
It seems so easy to leave it all behind,
And avoid the truth.
I think I'd rather just go blind.
Then everything erupts;
My life has come unglued.
And the ties that bind have left me.
What am I to do?
Can't seem to recognize that stare behind those eyes.
Who is this man I see who's looking back at me?
Can't focus through the pain, and I am fading into nothing.
The reflection must get clearer.
I think I'm cracking up, like I've lost my mind.
I hurt myself again. Still don't know why.
I end up the same way each and every time.
Can't avoid the truth. There's just nowhere to run and hide.
Then everything erupts, just like I knew it would.
Been down here long enough.
It never felt that good.
Is this what I've become?
My life has come unglued.
And the ties that bind have left me.
What am I to do?
Can't seem to recognize that stare behind those eyes.
Who is this man I see who's looking back at me?
Can't focus through the pain, and I am fading into nothing.
The reflection must get clearer than it appears to be right now.
There must be someone I can see.
There's gotta be something for me.
Show it now. Let it go free.
I know it's there, waiting on me.
Let it out. Let it go free.
Can't seem to recognize that stare behind those eyes.
Who is this man I see who's looking back at me?
Can't focus through the pain, and I am fading into nothing.
The reflection must get clearer.
Can't seem to recognize.
Can't seem to recognize.
The reflection must get clearer.
Wait For Me
All these miles
Haunting questions linger in my mind
All the while making bad decisions out of line
Still I've tried, to let go of the danger in my life
It's alright, when that's the only thing I've left behind
And there's still time�.
Wait for me
There's so much more of life for us to see
You must believe
It's not because of you I had to leave
Wait for me
I only hope that you'll remember me
At this time
I'm counting all the reasons I should stay
The bottom line
I'm missing all the things I gave away
I remind
See your faces every single day
Still I'm blind
I wish that there was something I could say
To make things right�
Chorus
Just hold on a little bit longer
The thoughts and memories will be enough
My need for you is only growing stronger I know you don't understand it much
But it doesn't mean I have to care about you any less
It doesn't have a thing to do with that
There's still so many questions that are going to be addressed
I'm sorry that it had to be like this�
But there's still time to make things right
Chorus
Wait for me
Many Faces
Will it take some time
To release this inner apathy
Enabled inside
And it looks like you're the enemy
Things are never what they seem
Can't explain the reasons why
The illusions that we see
The many faces of our lives
When you find it hard to breath
Never keep it all inside
Which one should I be
The many faces of our lives
Irrelevant minds
You become a little more serious
Still passing me by
You should not be, rightly
Dear to us
Chorus
And if you feel that the timing is all wrong
Here's the key to remove yourself form harm
Maybe then you will live again, live again
Chorus
I'm afraid we're in too deep
Things are never what they seem
I'm afraid we're just too deep to come out okay
I'm afraid we're just too deep to come out okay
Now
All The Worst
How do we deal with this?
How do we clean up all this mess?
Will there be a future for the latest generation?
Running around, believing the sound
Is anything loud enough for us to decipher
Making a stand, extending our hand
We must understand
It's the least we can offer those less fortunate that us
Three�s something about this place
It brings out all the worst
Our history�s been disgraced
Who will destroy who first?
I'm balling up my fists
Waiting here defenseless isn't pacifist
It's ignorant, and cannot be allowed
Maybe it's here or maybe it's there
We're never aware of just how safe we are
Could it be them or could it be us
Unable to trust
The information that we need
Chorus 2x
(This time, will we all, live on?)
If hurting still exists make it go away
The problems that are plaguing you and I the same
(This time will we all, live on?)
Causing it to stay
Counting down the days
It's eating at the very core of us
Chorus 2x
There's something wrong with this place
You've Changed
We've been through this before�
Compromise
With me agree right now
Useless cries
I'm telling you just how
Paralyzed
There is nothing I can do
I realize
I liked the other you
You've changed
Everything about you is strange
Look at yourself you've changed
With the facts in your face
It's causing conflict
Hypnotized
By all your complex games
Sacrifice
My own opinions change
Justify
Just why to say with you
I can't see why
Nothing else for me to do
It makes no sense
Putting our selves through all this
At my expense
Don't I deserve much less
It's way past time
To right the wrong we're in
The bottom line
Now way that we can win
Chorus
I'm not the one who changed
Turn The Tables
Full assistance to those who bear it all
Unable to fall, waiting patiently
Backs against the wall
Not allowing the weak to dictate, when it's our turn to recover
(Show me that)
If your experiences don't compare, just turn the tables
(Don't compare)
Stop acting like you really care, if you're not stable
Full resistance to those who care at all
Directing the call, it's consuming us
Backs against the wall
Convincing the meek to dictate all their actions on command
and eviction to those who swear it all
Fit to befall the false memory
Facts begin to stall
Permitting the bleak existance, this is our time to discover
(Show me that)
If your experiences don't compare, just turn the tables
(Don't compare)
Stop acting like you really care, if you're not stable
(Show me that)
If your experiences don't compare, just turn the tables
(Don't compare)
Stop acting like you really care, and turn the tables
There will come a time for us to change things
And I will never strike at you again
I will try to learn to make amends
You will never lessen who I am
Don't be sheltered show me where you've been
Show me where you've been
Show me where you've been
(Show me that)
If your experiences don't compare, just turn the tables
(Don't compare)
Stop acting like you really care, if you're not stable
(Show me that)
If your experiences don't compare, just turn the tables
(Don't compare)
Stop acting like you really care, and turn the tables
(Turn the tables x6)
(Turn the tables x6)
Becoming yourself now, achieving what you allow
Don't take it out on us all
Becoming yourself now, achieving what you allow
Worlds Divide
Lost in these times
It's hard to make up our minds
This is the reason we're convicted for our crimes
So we wait
Scars on or face
They show the importance of finding a way to leave this place
But then we're left with nothing substantial to hold
And I'm afraid that our stories will never be told
Some people carry on
Some just stay right where they are
Our worlds divide the sight
I'd rather move along
Knowledge is not very far
Our worlds divide the sight
When innocence dies
It tends to shake up your life
Let it consume you and then leave it all behind
I need escape
From the choices we made
And the feelings of longing that are standing in our way
Chorus 2x
Don't give up on hope
Don't give up because it's hope that binds us
Pain that guides us
Who do we trust when those things remind us
It's hope that guides us
Pain that binds us
Who do we trust when they're not behind us
Chorus
Now you are just where you belong
Our worlds divide the sight
Take us all this hope
It makes you strong
Now you are right where you belong
Not Enough
Wake up your life
You may never get the chance to make things right
Rather than lie
Take a moment to reflect on what's gone by
It's a mistake
There's no reason I should be so full of guilt
Significant break
So you severed all the ties that we have built
All I know, even though (background)
Tried to give you what was left of me
But it was not enough
Didn't think about the rest of me
That it was not enough
Tried my hardest with the best of me
But it was not enough
Tried to give you what was left of me
But it was not enough
All mixed up inside
And it's easy to forget what we should be
it's useless to hide
I can see to the heart of your insecurity
All of this time
Blaming others for the cause of what we've lost
Nothing sublime
I must overcome no matter what the cost
Chorus
Please give back what is not yours to have
It's the only thing that I've got left
Never was enough to satisfy
And I'm left empty
Chorus
Tried to give you what was left of me
But it was not enough
Didn't think about the rest of me
That it was not enough
Tried my hardest with the best of me
But it was not enough
Final Cry
Forging a difference
We summon existence
This distance is not what it seems
Painstaking process
It pulls at our instincts
We're living outside of our means
So long, I've hoped
To be strong
Down-sloped
And the damage will commence
The beginning of the end
And the damage will commence
All these occurrences bring me to life
All that I've sacrificed make it seem right
Don't underestimate how hard I'll try
This is our final cry
Placing a marker on what I must offer
It's slowly becoming unfair
Will I recover from being pulled under
I'm desperate and gasping for air
So long, I've hoped
To be strong
Down-sloped
This is not anything that came from me
You have embedded it within my seed
All of my memories are blending in
Now that real damage will begin
Chorus
This is our final cry
This is our final cry
It's the beginning of the end
Chorus
This is our final cry
Decide
Doesn't it make you nervous
At least you could have tried
And if it doesn't disturb us
Couldn't we just sit by
And make a pact to ignore it
All of our secret needs
Becoming connected further
Giving a life to feed on
You let them decide
The course of my life
And you just stood by
You threw me aside
Isn't it overwhelming
Living a lie inside
Causing so many problems
Hoping to just get by
When will it all be over
What would I have you say
But you won't have to trouble yourself for me that way
Chorus
Didn't mean to complicate tomorrow
Didn't mean to make you feel that way
Didn't come to irritate your morals
But then you push me far away
Why did you push me far away
I just can't see why you neglected to try
To move on with our lives
When we shared the goodbye
You let them decide the
The course of my life
We shared the goodbye
And you threw me aside
You'll never make that choice again
No not again
Will you affect my life again
