Come With Me  back
She said, "Face your fears and come with me. Take a chance and take my hand so you can see everything you know you'll never have, everything you know you want but fate killed your plans." Fill this hole inside of me, I can't stand the ache this pain is killing me. Those who have suffered will understand that pain is welcome when it's all you have left, come and die with me. Let's see what we can't be. Come and die with me. Now is ou chance to know how it feels to be free. I'm alone but not alone. You're welcome here but we're on our own. It's the test we were bound to fail. I've watched the strongest crumble and seen their weakness prevail. The give and take, the grip and strain, the hopeless sincerity, we played and lost or so it appears to me to be that way. I can't hold this smile. I can't hide this pain. I'm in search of a second opinion, a way to escape this situation.. The list of wrongs I write no one can read. I know the scars are shared but we can never speak. Holding on, holding in, the ache lulls and then I see you again. It's a pain I'd never trade for anything. I can smile outside, I can smile and say I'm all right. I'm praying for things that will never change. Now is our chance to know how it feels to be so free from all this shit. I'm not content alone and not pleased with your distance. Come and die with me.





Turn It Down  back
And as soon as it came it was gone, taking more than it gave. What else could we have done? False hope and our weakness lead us on and on and on comforted by a constant fear we raise our voices, no one hears. We may lose but we're not lost. Day-by-day we're making it through the nights. And so we sing- "We are one; undivided, and we are here," and so we scream, "I am one independent," but no one hears. And so we sing all at once two different songs. I want to turn it down. And so it comes and goes, it serves us right. No surprise in your eyes and we're at it again, urgency and a cheapness lead us on and on and on. It's too loud and we can't hear. The next to come will find us here. I hear your words, my ears are ringing but I didn't catch what you said.





Right Back To You  back
All the things that we've come to love, all the lessons learned, all the stories of a better life and a future that were never true. I guess your plots and plans, your deceptions and lies were truths we never saw behind the fleeting disguise. We're unmasking the hate and we're coming for you. We're gonna kick it and push it, and pull it right back through. And it's not for you. When all that shit starts coming down its coming right back to you. And I know just what to do, and all that shit starts coming down right back to you. I can't think of a better view or of another place where I'd rather be. I can't wait to see the look on your face, now your time has come and there's no complaints. We're picking up where you left off and keeping it true. We're gonna kick it and push it, and pull it right back through. Wrong time and wrong place, and the situations out of your hands, and now the tides are changing. Our time has replaced them. The situations part of our plan, and now the ground is breaking.





Twice As Nice  back
Where did they go, where are th finer things in life, the things we never knew and never cared to have? We had each other, everything we'd need.. There was never a time you'd turn your back on me and for so long there wasn't a day you wouldn't call, stop by or stop in to go cause trouble. Three in the morning while the neighborhood sleeps, we saw the rest of our lives. We never had or needed it's not a fair trade. I know you're trying and I hear the view is twice as nice when you're dying. And now you face a seemingly eternal night. Don't sleep. I won't. I won't lose this fight, more than a friend you're a part of me, defining all that I've known and sharing all that I've seen. Don't turn your eyes away from me. I fear now I'm a friend who is failing, lied to and cheated we've been fucking robbed. We've lost touch with ourselves, what we had is gone, and its not a fair trade. I know you're trying and I hear the view is twice as nice when you're dying, but I care too much to see you waste away. This time I know you're going to be okay. You're okay and I'm all right. Trials come but together we'll be all right. I know you'll be all right. Take my time. Take everything of mine. Can't replace this space with memories and reminders. With your face to the ground, you've forced me to my knees. I can't stay here I won't watch you leave. So long, farewell my friend I'll see you again but only time will tell if I'll wear a smile or meet a better man, maybe I never will.





One In Ten  back
One in ten can't please me. This time is our time to speak freely. The blur is gone, you start leaving. Too real, too fast at this moment. I recognize this feeling, I need a way to record this. I'm losing sleep. The last thing I need. I keep forgetting we can't do this. Open my eyes and you've gone away. Counting down till I'll try again. I'll see You on the other side my friend. Can you see right through me? I fear it's you that can't see me. Your face changes my face and you move me. These seconds last an eternity. I make the mistake and start thinking, I watch the picture start fading. We'll meet again. Don't run away. One in ten can't please me; a problem when compared to the others seems easy. The apple of my minds eye is free to have my mind, and as soon as its here then it leaves me, retreating when I realize that I'm dreaming. I think its real but I can't say. I always go and make a mistake and you run away. Don't run away. I've got the time so you know that I'll try again.





So I Become  back
Every time you blink, every time you drink Every time you sleep, I'm alive and well Every time you're weak. In the corner of your eye, in the back of your mind, on the tip of your tongue. In your anger you'll find. Right on time, a destiny I designed. I give you all that you need. I'm your greed. I'm your pride. You question all that is clear. To ignore is to pay. You beg for your life yet you give it away. All the things that you thought you could always hide, well, now it seems they're right outside, so I become and I beg to waste your time. It's not a waste of mine, and I've been waiting a long fucking time. Weakened by the disease called hate you'll come around, you'll share my fate. Hands up in your face and brain. You think we can't see them, you think I can't be them. Well, give them to me. I'll set you free from every worry and care and all the things that you've lost you may have lost them to me but I never lied. I told you one day you'd want this to stop. Try to understand I could not forsee this. Yes, you understood that in time you'd be this. I beat you once. I'll defeat you again. You can't win. This will never end. It's the end of the fall, it's the end of your season as your senses fleet I become your reason. At the bottom you can clear you head. This same mistake I know I can't make again.





Time Is The Distance  back
It seems like I've been here one thousand times before. One thousand times everyday and I still beg for more. Not far from here I'll find myself, but time is the distance from that feeling. I can't take it. These beatings I give to myself have got to stop, but I need your help. My better half is the half that I hide and I'm trying hard not to let this go. Your words are healing but they're burning me up inside. I'd love to taste, I'd love to feel and share that life. Her I am I think I've said too much again. You're too real and I can't take it. Have we gone too far or maybe not far enough? So many walls in our way and it's not a surprise to m that this. Right in front of me I see the rest of me, I see the rest of my life. And so again I beg for that beating, and when received I won't release- It's so healing. Caged inside I hide myself from all life. I've cried one thousand times I don't want to be alone again. I want to know myself; I want to be your friend. I think I'd die without that feeling once again. I know I'd die without that feeling once again. I'd die without that feeling once again, I'd quit this all to have that feeling never end.





The End  back
Could it be, is this the end? I've seen it coming from a far and I welcome it like a friend. A lost love, like a bright light. The direction I'm lacking is leading me. So far I haven't seen a reason to be. I've lost count of the shackles that bind me. I'm not alone, I don't that comforting. One more time it's my turn to make amends. I make my own rules. I'm sure tomorrow I'll break them again, its getting easy to excuse my mistakes. I'll walk this line until my conscience abandons me. Times when you tell me that you wish you could die and then you give me shit for even trying to be a friend. There's no question, I'd take your place in the light and give this darkness to you. So here we are again. Our paths diverge but I'll see you in the end. Here we are I can see the end. The direction I'm lacking is leading me. I'm so tired and shit, I'm beat. I'm not alone I don't find that comforting.





No Mistake  back
A great expanse where a way of life is lost. Spare no expense, tear down the wall at all cost. Learn from and embrace the past. There's a struggle that's eternal. A generation gap. Try, because we will set the beat made strong by our models slow defeat. Disappointment is a way of life because their way of life is just not out there. We'll take our time and we'll always try. Our future we can't see, so unsure but it's up to you and me, we've got our chance to lead but a struggle from within may soon be our defeat. Eyes that only see skin deep won't see us through to victory. Problems are multiplying, are you looking for solutions or pointing your finger? We'll always try to make the best of what we're given. We do it harder. We do it faster. We take a chance. We have no fear. Make no mistake. We are and have been making the rules and crossing the line. You've got your systems. You've got your regrets. I make no excuse for mine. Don't try and tell me I've got no right or reason to take a chance. I've got what I need and I'll make it last. We've got plenty of reserves and love to use them. Face every day with brand new eyes. Step back and watch the standard rise. Renewed and always redefined. I always had a reason but you've become my reason now. I still walk alone. I see my way I've got to keep going make my presence known as I journey through a world that is built to tear down our kind. After they find out why it is we're here they'll need to understand, give up, give in, get out, or face their ultimate fear.





Disclaimer  back
For too long I played it safe. Did everything that you wanted me to do for you. I held my tongue and closed my eyes, did everything that a good boy is supposed to do but I…in the blur of right and wrong I found a voice that describes it the best. Mightier than one thousand swords it calms the storm it creates and reshapes my face. My disclaimer. To say what I want I need to find a word that doesn't exist. I can be a master or a slave, wear one thousand different faces you'd never resist. Tell me to say what I want to and then you pin it on me. Expected to pay for what I can't do. Then you tell me it's free but that I'll never be. Maybe I made a mistake saying everything I wanted to. You've got your finger pointed straight at me. I hop you hear these words because I'm talking to you, and I wasted my time, my breath, and everything that I gave to you. Freedoms fulfilled take their toll. Show me the one and only word that describes you, you're quick to judge; I'm serving my sentence. Every word I write is evidence. Forgive me for my honesty. I can't learn to choke on these words and I won't, then you pin it on me. Disclaimer. I'll say what I want. Complaint, you add your name to the list. If I can find the words you will, I've got nothing to hide and no one to impress. I can't learn to choke on these words and I won't. So you can pin it on me.





Grounded  back
A common goal and a plan of action, a way of life where anything can happen. Now try hard and state your position- strong as a whole but hold on to the vision. By trying we all can be grounded and focused. The opposition is dying and we can see to keep the faith is not just a choice but fate and they've made their choice, now it's up to you and me, how it has to be. I'll take this road till it ends. One voice, one gal, no end. Trusting is not innate in me. Holding on to others used to bring me suffering. Changing sparks a fear in me. But I found faith in these three and I know that we're finding everything we seek. Working as one we've got the world to face, but we're fine and we've agreed to be grounded and focused holding on to our vision. Separate all things that persuade our judgement or cloud our vision. I'll take this road till it ends One voice, one goal, no end.





Start Again  back
Quests and questions. Heretic emotions, the driving force. The source of course, supports the foundation. It seems it's a near miss and replaces uniqueness. A patient patient is need of assistance. He's right there and he's on his knees. Yes, he's right there and he looks like me. As he's begging and pleading, he's wanting and needing a perfect picture that is ever fleeting. A new temptation. I lack ambition. Did you get the impression that I meant everything that I said? My intentions are changing now (whose side are you on?), My direction is changing now (Whose side are you on?), my foundations are breaking. I'm breaking. I'll start again. Close your eyes in an act of tradition. Bow your head, a gesture of submission. The truth can't hurt us, yet seems to allude us. I won't bow so you call me a judas. I'm right here and I'm on my feet. Yes, they're right here standing next to me. Condemned to a likeness, the ones who won't be missed, accepting me. Casualties of the darkness. My motivation has gone away. I've met temptation, he knows my name, and when you question my intentions you find I'm fueled by aggression. I warn you, mind your direction or find you're looking in the face of patrons. A mass cessation occurred today. All common boundaries will fade away. We'll fade away. No compensation for the ones we've lost. It's part of the equation. No justice. One law. Accounted loss is a flaw in the system. A human nation divided by text and denomination. I wash my hands of this.





Profile  back
I knew this time would come, replacing me, and in my place your side of me. Pass me the script. Something I might say. I won't get this right but I'll try again. Consider me a link to your past un-phased and unchanging. . Right or wrong we made our choices and I see where you stand now. Well, I guess it's easy to fell lost and needy when you need a hand and then there's no one around. Reality brakes and clarity fades when you find you're alone in your own crowd. And now I have one, one and only, here from the beginning I've got to press on, cuz when I'm right you're wrong and now your right and wrong no longer impose any consequence. Never felt so good to be so down. The opposition is me and I like it. Fair-weather friends fend for yourselves. No need, to go you're already gone. Consider these words our very last. Consider these words your last chance. Face it you missed, now taste my fist. I'm a passive man but I'm sick of it. I'd rather be hated than be missed. I'd rather be alone than sink with you. I guess I was wrong to trust an invitation to the world of loss. We're right or wrong here. We're right or wrong no in between, no exceptions and I like it. It's never been so easy.





My Crime  back
Connotation, a word, a phrase, my crime. You can kiss my connotation, a word, a phrase, my crime. Free to speak my mind. They find you face down and they start to look around. They turn you face up and you say that you're proud. You know and handle your shit, they question what you have to say. Put on trial for self-expression, you smile and walk away. Before you speak why should you have to look around? Say what you mean, say fuck, a verb and a noun, a complex, flexible word- it's said. It's heard and then it's gone. Hang a man for what he says today; tomorrow you'll hear it in a song. All these words that you love to hate are not necessary for me. But then again I won't change my ways, I won't change to meet your needs. Told to hold you tongue and watch what you say, choose your words wisely; Freedom is the price you have to pay. Give your shit to me. Give your shit away. Now you're put in your place and in your place you'll stay. Fuck is a word that doesn't mean shit to me.
