set up and stand out
throw up and breathe aloud
he can't stop this
nor will he try
he is fighting demons
he can no longer hide,
drop down to his level
feel what he deals with
you walk around and laugh allowed
are you really that happy??
or are you just as worse off
as everyone else
while she dresses up
she wants to be a princess
daddy's little girl
well he's gone now
so it will stop here
these different lives
all add up..they aren't as happy
as they may seem..
as they may seem..
and..
he is fighting demons
he can no longer hide
drop down to his level
feel what he deals with
empty bottles and broken homes
if you go tonight please don't leave me alone
you need someone with you
or you'll never be satisfied
falling back to amy from last week
sunday night was a blast
nine months later not so fun
well he's gone now..
and when he falls to his knees
will you hear him out?
or is it just another part of life?
too late..he is gone now..
yes..he is gone!!
so lay beside her
tell her how much you appreciate
all she has done for you
and keep the memories intact
because she'll be gone..soon enough..
so..
he is fighting demons
he can no longer hide
drop down to his level
feel what he deals with
let him be,he's not your joke
or what you think he is
cause you never know..
you never ever know..
what goes on inside his home..
A man once said to me
"boy why you look so down"
i replied to that man just to see..
all i recieved was a gazing frown
When he told her what he thought
Lucy began to cry,she'd never been
so in love lord,please don't let her forget to
die,die,die,die
And i never made it..so willingly
oh no,no,she gave it..
she'd never leave it out like that
but that man never seen it commin'
Oh yeah she blew him away
oh yes i never should have left him
so alone that day
oh yeah..god save his soul..
oh yeah..oh yeah..
When Lucy touched his lips
and took his hand..
she then began to understand
what it takes..yes..
I never should have let him be
i wish i could have let her see
i'd loved to have lost my eyes
so i couldn't see this blinding pain
heading for my eyes..
oh Lucy's eyes..
As he spat upon her grave
he disasembled her life..
he never gave her a second thought
before pulling that trigger..
down,down,down,down
Oh yeah she blew him away
oh yes i never should have left him
so alone that day
oh yeah..god save his soul..
oh yeah..oh yeah..
Just another human casualty
is what i am..
in a world full of treachery
i'm nothing more..
Make it..my soul is gonna break..
make it..how much can she take??
make it..fight for our love..
make it..circle all of thee above..
Oh yeah she blew him away
oh yes i never should have left him
so alone that day
oh yeah..god save his soul..
oh yeah..oh yeah..
In Many Ways
things won't change
i'll still sit around
thinking of what could have been
But I can't stop this feelin'
shootin' straight for the head
feeling naucious my stomach is
burning from the inside out
But then again....
feelings can be deceiveing
and hearts can change
accordingly....
and when I flip you over
i will find all your faults
to prove that your not perfect
it just comes out to seem that way
and the little arrogant struts
totally blew me away
proving once again
you're superior to me
But then again....
feelings can be deceiveing
and hearts can change
accordingly....
By the time my chance
passes me by
i will be so punch-drunk
with indignity....
i will fall hard enough
to hear the past
and my dependence for you
grew each and every day
by the time you had left
i had crippled myself beyond repair
But then again..
feelings can be deceiveing
and hearts can change
accordingly....
Have you felt this comin'??
'cause i have been now
for weeks....
and it all boils down to one thing....
But then again..
feelings can be deceiveing
and hearts can change
accordingly....
my body's numb with callousness
and it's tired of your adolescent charm
you can get anything..
you could have anyone..
and i wonder..
is my charm wearing off??
or don't you care anymore??
don't you care anymore??..
did you ever care at all??!!..
so i'll stay back
aware of your situation
and wondering if it's how you want it to be
or if you just keep it that way
but do you think i'll believe what you're saying
and back the things you're doing
things aren't the same
forever revolving around your every move
around your every mood..
and i'll crack a smile
leaving you unaware of how i'm feeling
i'll make you believe i'm happy
and that i'm doing better..
i couldn't be better..
and i wonder..
is my charm wearing off??
or don't you care anymore??
don't you care anymore??..
did you ever care at all??!!..
and i'm so awkward..
i'm so strange..
i wonder how could you feel about me??
i wish you could feel my intentions
they are all good..
and set for your happiness
but at times it seems
i am supporting a lost campaign
just hoping that your smile would mean more
like you wanted to be with me
you couldn't be without me..
but things like that only come in dreams
dreams of laying beside you
and hanging out until 3 in the morning
and staring into your beautiful eyes..
and i wonder..
is my charm wearing off??
or don't you care anymore??
don't you care anymore??..
did you ever care at all??!!..
will you ever care at all??
with that goodbye we parted our ways
from this point we can't look back
nothing else we can do will be the same
but tonight we have to be ready
to start our lives from tommorrow on out
thoughtless of what or could have happened
and sometimes i get so scared
what if you forget?
what if i'm just another boy in a photograph
on your wall?
but that's not how i want to be remembered
i wanted to be your prince charming
but my mistakes were unbearable and thoughtless
my insecurities ate me alive and i gave up there
maybe i should have thought about you
instead of how i was feeling
maybe i was wrong
who knows..
and sometimes i get so scared
what if you forget?
what if i'm just another boy in a photograph
on your wall?
but we have made a promise
we can't let it break this time
like the last three..
maybe if we smile real hard
things will be brighter
maybe if we try real hard
things will be happier
then all the qoutes will change
and i will have nothing in my defense
nothing left to say or do
just watch somebody else breathe you..
and the feelings change
in such mysterious ways
and i'm so disturbed by
the result of all of this
so freightening and i'm so impatient
waiting for the next sign
to crush all hopes of
regaining happiness....
regaining control....again....
and writing is just another
form of self mutilation
reopening the once gaping holes
in my heart....
and all i want is a total nirvana
peace,and heaven all in one
giving me something to pray for
yet again....
i know it's coming....
i know you're coming....
some day....
one day to blow me off my feet
and giving me all i have ever wanted
and that i need....
you'll fill the void,left open
by her....
make me forget all the wrong doing
brought upon my complex thoughts
so with this i will finalize it
i'm selling myself to you..
and the price is nothing more than your love....
Every good bye opens up
room for a new hello
let the past slip away slowly
move into the future at full speed
i'm ready to live..
i'm ready to die..
i'm ready to love..
i'm ready to cry..
when there is nowhere to run
and nowhere to hide
i'll be waiting behind you
watching from the outside
where i can taste the pain
hold you up to the light
shut you away
keep you safer over here
if i was stronger
i could be your lover
if i was brighter
i could be your sun
i would fight with your nightmares
just to make your days a breeze
i would break down the walls
confiding you in your loneliness
i'm ready to live..
i'm ready to die..
i'm ready to love..
i'm ready to cry..
your smile stands out
laught it up
now's your time
you got what you wanted
as for me not so lucky
it's ok..i will show you someday
fall away from me
i don't want to know
what you've got there for me
hidden behind those jaded eyes
my sarcastic hints are only forced out
by wanting you to withdrawl without me
so i will spit out the taste of your mouth
and run as far as i can get
when my veins fill up with anger
i blow it all out,no more time
no more will,i'll shut you out
i'm unreachable now
and as a zombie my body still roams
no feeling of togetherness
no feeling of home
all that's left..is the breath in my lungs
my sarcastic hints are only forced out
by wanting you to withdrawl without me
so i will spit out the taste of your mouth
and run as far as i can get
and when i hit the bottom
i will search as low as i can
to seek the dark crevesce you hide in
that in which is stopping me from homeliness
i cant stand it when im around you
you make me wish i never knew you
im sorry for whatever the hell i have done to you
because i dont know so will you tell me?
{please}
i dont care right now
so what i dont belong
you think im different
but this is were i belong
so dont tell me know
because i could care less
it doesnt bother me either which way
you know you make me regret it
dont pull me down this is were i belong
you think im different dont you?
i dont care right now
so what i dont belong
you think im different
but this is were i belong
so just forget it all
im so lonely now
this is were i belong
you think im different but i dont care at all-
-through thick and thin you are my skin
the one true friend from within
a person you need to survive
a person to help you in your strive
through my sickness in health
you are my only true wealth
a friendship to last for eternity
thoughout this world of great diversity
friendships are growing stronger
we will last a hell of alot longer
our friendship is a stronger kind of love
only of one that could be sent from above
through thick and thin you are my skin
the one true friend from within
a person you need to survive
a person to help you in your strive
noone could never tear this friendship apart
we will always be connected at heart
neither of us will be left behind
just because of our friendship bind-

why did you do it?
and why did i have to go through it?
is it all my fault?
all my fault?

how?
the silence doesnt bother me anymore
like it did before
im so fucked up and insecure
well aware but not assure
why cant i understand
take forth in this big demand
i hate this feeling that burns inside
something i can no longer hide
you said you would always be mine
but look what we found out in time
i dont trust you nor will i ever
this pain inside will last forever
im the one left to cry
left lying there to die
i lived on your call
and was there to take your fall
then i hear about all this shit
i believe its time to quit
i hate this feeling that burns inside
something i can no longer hide
you said you would always be mine
but look what we found out in time
i loved you..........
my soul has died today
but my body continues to linger on
my life has slowed down
but is not fully gone
every man dies
no man ever really lives
but yet his life he gives
just to please you......
just wait till he leaves you.....
and you will fade away......
but your life with always stay
and you will fade away......
i will never let your soul go astray.......
yeah........yeah.......
taste the pain of glory
your burnt out i know
but we all will remember your story
and your burnt out that i know
so i will guide you in the direction to go
and you will fade away......
but your life with always stay
and you will fade away......
i will never let your soul go astray.......
yeah........yeah.......
you must fade away......
nothing good will stay.....
just thank god for today....
and continue to pray......
for what tommorrow brings may throw you off guard
leaving you lonely and empty
and you will fade away......
but your life with always stay
and you will fade away......
i will never let your soul go astray.......
yeah........yeah.......
and you will fade away......
its better to burn out then to fade away......
written by eric.
im breaking down
yeah...
down
welcome to the academy of unsatisfactory
where your life counts and adds on ounce by ounce
save me before i drift too far away
until i fall black and fade away
down...
yeah im down...
please think for me
because i cant bare to
and i would talk to you
but its not fair to
i try to find someone to help me in this position
but there is no one i see to fit the description
i walked to town looking for the down house
but all i found was a bloody blouse
it all was an illusion
a sane illusion
the intelect transfusion
just a fuckin' illusion
i looked at the mirror and sighed
for as my true self has died
oh yes im sorry i could have lied
so i went to the temple and cried
please think for me
because i cant bare to
and i would talk to you
but its not fair to
please think for me
because i cant bare to
and i would talk to you
but its not fair to
and its not fair to.....
i opened my eyes
to find the love left between us
this feeling of emptiness inside
left by you as you went away
i got up out of my room today
to open my eyes and see your touch
to watch you grace my universe
because your tears are the rain upon my world
your smile brings out the sun
and your eyes are like a thousand lost promises
you are my universe
when i wake up to your quiet whispers
it makes me want to give up all that i own
just to stay in that moment
because your tears are the rain upon my world
your smile brings out the sun
and your eyes are like a thousand lost promises
you are my universe
waking up today wasnt the same........
you werent there....
you are my universe

can you hear me,through your kindness

i can't help you while your thinking
and i have only one thing....to say to you
it was great....lovin' you
the past is haunting....that i know
and i'm glad of it....for sure
can you see me,through your blindness
can you hear me,through your kindness
~solo~
it was made up to be bigger than it was
i'll admit it was bigger than i
and i will always remember you because
with you is how i forver want to lye
can you see me,through your blindness
can you hear me,through your kindness
i never saw your loving,beating heart
i should of just believed it was there,from the start
you made it all so wonderful
can you see me,through your blindness
can you hear me,through your kindness
i haven't slept in days
thinking about the same thing
and it hurts me in so many ways
and when i turn on the t.v. it's hell
it reminds me of laying with you
and your beautiful smell
and my days just aren't the same
i don't have you to be kissing
and i know i'm the one to blame
so i will have to keep on missing
you....
this weather outside reflects my feelings
rainy,wet and cold
and as i lay here looking at the ceiling
i think of you,happy,smiling and bold
~solo~
and my days just aren't the same
i don't have you to be kissing
and i know i'm the one to blame
so i will have to keep on missing
you....
resting here,my pillow's covered in tears
and i just keep on thinking
i am so shook up with fear
how's tommorrow gonna be??
without you....
without you....
and my days just aren't the same
i don't have you to be kissing
and i know i'm the one to blame
so i will have to keep on missing
you....
your wonderful to talk to
your smiles so beautiful
and i just wish i could get with you
my friend for a year
my closest confidant
with you i have no fear
so i will just wait around
until you think of me
i will be standing there without a sound
i've blown a chance before
not knowing of it
this time it won't pass me up for sure
i just don't think you understand
that i could feel this way about you
but i do....
yes i do....
i have for awhile now
so i will just wait around
until you think of me
i will be standing there without a sound
~solo~
so i will just wait around
until you think of me
i will be standing there without a sound
i wish we could start to talk
but i have no luck like that
i just hope you don't begin to walk
away from me....
so i will just wait around
until you think of me
i will be standing there without a sound
pull over please
i need time to think
she said "whatever"
and now shes gone
forever....
so i said aloud
if i am screaming
will you hear me??
because that's the only way
i seem to get through
to you
i am trying to think back
to the happy days
stayin' up all night
sayin' i love you
i love you....girl
~solo~
so i said aloud
if i am screaming
will you hear me??
because that's the only way
i seem to get through
to you
now i am singin' alone
in the shower and thinkin'
what is my motivation
and this is it
this is it
i said this is it!!
and i'm ready to forget the reasons
that i was with you for so long
so long....
so i said aloud
if i am screaming
will you hear me??
because that's the only way
i seem to get through
to you
to you....
i'm tired,fed up and stoned..
sick of your problems..
wanna hear mine?
love it when you break
thrive on your handicaps
just give me time
time is all we want
crucify me in the morning
and stone me by night
i love it when you're angry
i love it when we fight
confuse brain cells
against a stereo head wall
jump off the inter-plaque way
just let back and feel the fall
save yourself from this
drop the pen in that split second
stand back from the firey fists
of your significant other..
crucify me in the morning
and stone me by night
i love it when your angry
i love it when we fight
when we fight...
~solo~
crucify me in the morning
and stone me by night
i love it when your angry
i love it when we fight
crucify me in the morning
and stone me by night
i love it when your angry
i love it when we fight
when we fight...
can you even see me?
do you even care?
will you ever need me?
will i be there?
everthings so crowded
and everyones so loud
i feel like i'm surrounded
i see through all it now
laying here beside myself
i took out all my fears
and hung them on my shelf
things been hiding away for many years
i hear the cars go screaming
right past my head
as i try to lay there dreaming
in my callous bed
can you even see me?
do you even care?
will you ever need me?
will i be there?
~solo~
can you even see me?
do you even care?
will you ever need me?
will i be there?
my thoughts are all so crumpled
my thoughts are all so worn
me feelings are so trampled
me feelings are all torn
i feel no more reasons
or lies left here to stay
so i fear all my treasons
will kill me here today
so i will see you later
maybe in another life
and i can be your savior
to disguise all your strife
can you even see me?
do you even care?
will you ever need me?
will i be there?
