The Gift
Please explain a couple of things to me
How could you leave and then turn your back on me?
If only we said goodbye, maybe then I would respect my life
In the end I am so ashamed of what you did
(why) you said that you would never leave I didn't even see you go
(why) you just up and turned your back on me for reasons I will never know
(why) now I am starring at an empty space its the place that you used to be
(why) and the look you see upon my face is the gift from you to me
A haunting pain that lingers over me
This is not the way its supposed to be if only we said goodbye maybe then I would respect my life
In the end and I'm so ashamed of what you did
(why) you said that you would never leave I didn't even see you go
(why) you just up and turned your back on me for reasons I will never know
(why) now I am starring at an empty space its the place that you used to be
(why) and the look you see upon my face is the gift from you to me
You made me what I am you made me what I am
You made me what I am you made me what I am
(why) you said that you would never leave I didn't even see you go
(why) you just up and turned your back on me for reasons I will never know
(why) now I am starring at an empty space its the place that you used to be
(why) and the look you see upon my face
Is the gift from you to me
Is the gift from you to me
Pathetic
Had enough, listen up, this is it, starting again [repeat]
Don't you overlook the quiet ones, the ones who won't say
Had enough, listen up, this is it, starting again
You have too much time on your hands
It will force you to understand
This is my shot to recommend
Had enough, listen up, this is it, starting again
You're so pathetic, you let it seep right into your brain
It's insane how much you feel the constant need to complain [repeat]
You've got your open book now, tell your sons, the ones who won't say
Had enough, listen up, this is it, starting again
You have too much time on your hands
It will force you to understand
This is my shot to recommend
Had enough, listen up, this is it, starting again
You're so pathetic, you let it seep right into your brain
It's insane how much you feel the constant need to complain [repeat]
The eyes are the window to the soul, the ears are the doorway to the goal
The lips are the fruit that we behold, the throat is the vessel to be told
The heart is the handle of the old, the brain is the pathway of the bold
The skin is the jacket you were sold, the soul is the fire to the cold [repeat]
[x2]
You're so pathetic, you let it seep right into your brain
It's insane how much you feel the constant need to complain
Had enough, listen up, this is it, starting again [repeat]
Wait In Line
From the wreckage I pick up the pieces of my life
It's all around me ripped to shreds, I'm wounded and that's why
This time I'm taking mine, I will not wait in line
I'll bite the hand that feeds me, I will do what I must to survive
This time I'm taking mine, I will not wait in line
I'll bite the hand that feeds me, I will do what I must to survive
I'm growing stronger with each piece that stays there, in it's place
Not over powered, scared to death but not sure if I care
[Chorus]
I've found your weakness, you'll drown yourself within it
Letting it out, right to the heart of it, you're going down, down to the ground of it
Don't even count, no one can stop it now, won't help to shout, don't even try it
[Chorus]
I'm taking, I'm taking, I'm taking mine [repeat]
Broken Compass
As I try to find my way, this broken compass seems to lead so much further away
To live and breath another day, to see the things that I have seen, only a few of us may
Reap the rewards of life, so much is missing or mistaken, so much doesn't seem right
Please guide me through this maze, engulfed by the gutters, trapped in this haze
So sick of this mess I'm in, far away from all the people that they really want me to be
When did this road begin, things are getting worse it's almost to the point where I can not see
That there's more to life, so much is questioned in what's written, so it may seem
Shackled in so many ways, engulfed in the storm, trapped in this haze
This compass leads me away
If you heard all the sounds, would you lift me off the ground?
Would you guide me through the rain?
So wipe my eyes and scratch my head, I can only see a couple feet in front of my face
Why don't you turn on a light instead, this kind of travesty seems to just pull me away
[Chorus]
This compass isn't working, my sails are slowly turning
This compass isn't working, it's slowly leading me away
This compass leads me away
If you heard all the sounds, would you lift me off the ground?
If you'd just turned around, and believe in what you've found,
Will you guide me through the rain
Through the rain [repeat]
What You Are
Every perception is what you perceive, all that you know you were taught to believe
Something is stirring and something is cracked, there is no hope as you limp your way back
Pushing and pulling you rip at the seams, working through problems set deep in your dreams
Searching for something that doesn't exist, you caused all this
Know this, just incase you don't notice
I've had a rough time so far
The symptoms are slowly growing, show yourself for what you are
Wishing and willing that it disappears, hoping and praying to conquer my fears
Searching for someone who someday will stay, wanting it so but still pushing away
Is there some way to be perfectly clear, what's in my face is all that I can hear
Longing for some form of life to exist, you caused all this
[Chorus]
Now I can see you for what you are, my eyes have been awakened
Now I can see you for what you are, the things we have forsaken
Now I can see you for what you are, the promises are broken
Now I can see you for what you are, the lives that have been taken
[Chorus]
What you are
Slip
Move along, there is nothing to see here
I need you strong, so get over your fear
Just turn it on, on all that you hold dear
Cause something's wrong, and the danger is near
If you slip, you can't change the course of your distance
It's useless, you can't stop the swell of resistance
(there is nothing to see here, there is nothing to see here)
One last song, before we go there
It's been to long, leading to nowhere
The brakes are on, I know that you're scared
Instinct's gone, I am fully aware
[Chorus]
One day, we shall inherit the earth, in all its fury
Some way, we will replenish our birth, don't you worry
I say, we will determine our worth
'Till that day, try not to slip on the hurt
[Chorus]
Breathing
Come on and start right now
Where are these places, they hide themselves so well
In certain faces, I thought that you could tell
Which ones are decent, which ones begin to smell
Well you should round 'em up and tell 'em all to go to hell
It's so confusing the state of mind I'm in
All the abusing, impossible to win
In these times, and these ways, in these lines, as the days get shorter
Please keep on breathing, I know you're aching
It will be leaving, stop the explosion
No one is innocent, just think that you can
Pick yourself up again, then healing will begin
To start right now
How did we get here, been on the road so long
The same appearance, there is no right from wrong
It's all so scary, the storm is moving in
Wrapped up in your fear and so confused on where to begin
It's overwhelming, the state of mind we're in
And so concerning, the kind of mess we're in
In these times, and these ways, in these lines, as the days get shorter
Please keep on breathing, I know you're aching
It will be leaving, stop the explosion
No one is innocent, just think that you can
Pick yourself up again, then healing will begin
To start right now
Can't seem to stop this (get this off my chest)
Can't seem to stop this (get this off my chest)
Please keep on breathing, I know you're aching
It will be leaving, stop the explosion
No one is innocent, just think that you can
Pick yourself up again, then healing will begin
To start right now
Seem To Be Fine
you put me on a shelf how could i possibly have ever climbed so high
no different from yourself theres not a thing that we cant do if we'd just try
oh it feels like i can send my thoughts across the sky
this doesnt make much sense you are deluded with your images of me
we are all present tense there is no restraint on what we all can be
whats wrong with my mind?
sometimes i feel fine but then theres this nagging pain still inside
how can i get by when all of my time is spent on what i failed to do
this seems so strange at times just like im living life in someone elses skin
so walk outside the lines think for yourself and youll know right where to begin
whats wrong with my mind?
sometimes i feel fine but then theres this nagging pain still inside
how can i get by when all of my time is spent on what i failed to do
and so i live in the mindset that i cannot fall sinking in the soul of everyone
i wish that you could just see whats in store for you all undo what must be undone
undo what must be undone
undo what must be undone
undo what must be undone
undo what must be undone
whats wrong with my mind
sometimes i feel fine but then theres this nagging pain still inside
how can i get by when all of my time is spent on what i failed to do
whats wrong with our minds?
oh it feels like i can send my thoughts across the sky
Life Of Mine
Come on show me your cancer, I might show mine
I've been holding out for something but, got left behind
Well I'm almost out of patience, don't cross that line
There's only so much I can handle till it wakes me up inside
There's no happy endings, in this life of mine
Fate has had it's way with me, gets me every time
I need to know the ending to, to this life of mine
Fate can have its way with me, I'll just do my time
Don't I deserve at least an answer, just a little sign
Give me a reason to believe that we are just not wasting time
My attention grows shorter, this one track mind
There's no happy endings, in this life of mine
[Chorus]
Life of mine
There's no happy endings, in this life of mine
Fate has had it's way with me, gets me every time
I need to know the ending to, to this life of mine
Fate can have its way with me, I'll just do my time
Let me do my time, let me do my time
Fate can have it's way with me, I'll just do my time [repeat]
Descending
There is a feeling coming over me, it shows me how I really ought to be
It knows that there is something after me, why hide in shadows that I cannot see
I'm learning how to overcome disease, I'm making changes where they need to be
And after all of this is done with me, there's still a missing part I see
Hoping, pretending, that I'm not descending
They watch as I become deplete, it scratches at the very heart of me
How can we still achieve release, when everything is incomplete
Hoping, pretending, that I'm not descending
Manifest what you need, manifest your destiny
Manifest what you need, manifest-destiny
Don't let them make you think they're in control, you're the one who labors
Hoping, pretending, that I'm not descending
Manifest what you need, manifest your destiny
Manifest what you need, manifest-destiny
Made Like This
Conclusions, illusions, of mainstream intrusions
I'm saying this is just your life
Brain of the main-frame, life
Your single one and only life
I'm starting from the back again, it's never ending
Ran off the track yes once again, the vibe is sending
So far from where I might have been, this message pending
I won't stop looking back again, the road is bending
Time exists on a band 'round your wrist, and the people you trust should be last on your list
We could solve the world's problems with just one wish, we were made like this
Time exists on a band 'round your wrist, and the people you trust should be last on your list
We could solve the world's problems with just one wish, we were made like this
Made like this, made like this
I'm saying this is just your life
[Chorus]
This is just your life, I'm saying this is just your life
Bid Farewell
Comfort, pulls me back inside
Self worth, has a place to hide
Push us back in corners and, make us fight you for our lives
Turn us into martyrs and, sneak up from behind
Bid farewell, human kind, time will tell if we can make it right again
Bid farewell, I won't mind, time will tell us how to make it right again
Distance, seems to blur the lines
Penance, wipes their blood stained minds
Push us back in corners and, make us fight you for our lives
Turn us into martyrs and, sneak up from behind
Bid farewell, human kind, time will tell if we can make it right again
Bid farewell, I won't mind, time will tell us how to make it right again
Circle of life goes 'round again, leave me behind
Circle of life goes 'round again, leave me behind
Push us back in corners and, make us fight you for our lives
Turn us into martyrs and, sneak up from behind
Bid farewell, human kind, time will tell if we can make it right again
Bid farewell, I won't mind, time will tell us how to make it right again
