So Fresh, So Green
Back then there was a scene
That's when the music meant the most to me!
First tour we want more, be careful what you wish for
If you were there then you know what I mean
This is the only life I want to live in 1995!
I'm not coming home there's nothing there for me.
Time flies, it goes by and then you realize
I'm not coming home, this is where I want to be
First song, first show and then before you know
We're on our way to Tokyo
Our family tree, it was just you and me
With a whooaa it came to be.
This is the only life I want to live in 1995!
I'm not coming home there's nothing there for me.
Time flies, it goes by and then you realize
What is the universal language?
Could it be hate if it's not love?
Could it be money, sex or power?
I say it's music and none of the above
When you act that way
Can't you see you're using the wrong fuckin language
A language I don't know
Do you feel an evil in the world?
Do you chase the dollar or the girl?
What's the motivation in your life?
well those 5 years are gone now,
so i've got a plan that's new.
I'm seeing the future.
but I can't forget my roots cause it's still not a concept,
someone made up on tv.
it's still something real,
way down deep inside of you and me.
All the bands we loved the most,
all the songs that give us hope reasons we're still here today,
people change but songs remain,
songs remain, songs remain in our hearts.
no matter what we do, i know you can feel it,
dispite our different views.
so if you make a connection,
we'll have both sides to see,
and noone can take that away from you,
and noone can take that away from me.
All the bands we loved the most,
all the songs that give us hope,
reasons we're still here today,
people change but songs remain.
and when you put that music on you can feel it,
you just know it, it's right for you.
and even though the times have changed that spirit,
i still feel it, it carries on,
and even though your life has changed that spirit,
you still feel it, it carries on, it carries on in every song.
All the bands we loved the most,
all the songs that give us hope,
reasons we're still here today,
Old School-Recess!!!
Where did we go so wrong, how did we last so long
All I can think now that we're here, is when we gonna have
Some fun can't forget what we were, even if it's all a blur
And never forget why we're still young
And how we all still endure
I don't wanna be 13, I only wanna share the scene
All I really want to do is to have Saturday
Everyday for the rest of our lives
Old School-Recess!!!
When did it come to this, too much of this business
I'm not under no fucking gun
So when we gonna have some fun
Tell me how you got so sad, with all the good times we had
When all you really want is to have Saturday
When you're tired of living in the past - Saturday
When you only want good times to last - Saturday
I see it in us, I see it in us
I know it's in us but I
I see it in us, I see it in us
I see it's in us but I
I can't quite put my finger on it
We're all guilty of it
How many times do we end up with nothing
When we try real hard and only see it one way
We think we'll go further but where will we be?
Just one step closer, still moving closer
To a million miles backwards
Reality reasons, it wasn't meant to be
All this time I felt so strongly
And it was all for nothing
Nothing
Look for us in Cali - east bay to LA
Or with our friends in DC - the UST
We made it through the Canadian border
Back home next week in NYC
Because we're faster than the world we can't slow down
I hear the windy city calling - chitown, chitown
As we arrive in Tokyo - edemio
And the kids are cool in Kansas
Tomorrow's the Philly troc show
New York City - you can't slow down
East coast to the west coast - you can't slow down
Japan to Europe - you can't slow down
World wide hardcore punk - you can't slow down
The world will try to catch up
When they think that this is a trend
But we'll keep moving fast enough
Where were you
You weren't here
I screamed and shouted
But you disappeared
Where is the shoulder that made me cry
You went away but I don't know why
Where, were you?
When I needed somebody to trust
When I needed somebody to stand by
I never wanted all that much
Why did you leave?
Why did you lie?
Where were you?
I used to love you
But I want to pretend
Your fucking game
I won't play again
Where were you?
When I needed somebody to hold
I'm staying away from your negative space
You're only bringing me down
Whenever you come around
I see the look on your face, you're in a world of hate
Don't wanna be the one you take it out on
Anger is a wall around you
No-one's getting through
Friendships falling down around you
What are you gonna do?
I'm trying to give something positive
You wouldn't understand
Cause it's an open hand
Not a closed fist, are you getting the jist
Or are you just getting pissed
I'm not willing to waste my time
Believing that you're gonna do what's right
I won't be there to catch your fall
Only to find I don't know you at all
I thought this was suppose to be about open minds and unity
Not alienation, separation or who is more pc
You people pointing fingers, judging others need to realize
To each their own, get off your soapbox thrown
Who are you to criticise?
And it's so easy to be anti, close your mind up tight
And you walk around the world
Thinking everything you know is right
It's so easy to protest and so hard to fucking give
No one person has the answers, there's no one way to live
Nobody's better than no one else, straight edge or what you eat
Stand up for what you think is right, you don't have to be elite
Think of all you're missing when your on that narrow road
Do you really believe or is it just what you've been told
Stand up for what you think is right, but who are you to criticise
Your narrow mind has left you in a moral state of imaginary grace
Your cause has lost it's taste
And now you're gone
Just like that you're gone...and you're never coming back!!!
And it's so easy to be anti, close your mind up tight
And you walk around the world
Thinking everything you know is right
It's so easy to protest and so hard to fuckin give No one person has the answers, there's no one way to live
Never really been into religion
Never gave a fuck about superstition
But such strange things are happening
First once, then twice, then once again
Never really thought we'd reach a third one
Still there are those who haven't heard one
So we still have such a mission
Our trilogy must have tradition
Then once, I could not believe, even twice I was still naive
In my heart, in my head, these words are said
I don't care what you say, I'll follow the three way
I've never been into science fiction
So I guess this is a contradiction
Today's a new day, not like the old days
What else can I say, that's not been said
Each day I rise up, thinking I've wised up
I realise that I don't know shit
Don't know where I'm gonna be - day by day with me
I don't know where I'm gonna land - day by day with me
My five year plan has turned to ten
And it's all gonna happen again
Milleniums coming, better start running
Straight for a place in history
So fast the past went, none of our time spent
Wondering what's gonna happen to me
Again and again through time I see - day by day
I'm going through changes to find what's best for me - day by day
I know where I am and I know where I'm from
All the feeling
Leaving you
Till you left alone inside a hollow shell
Twice repeated
Me then you
Till your left alone not knowing who to blame
But I, I see the handle to the hilt
You know I'm always pulling
But they, they won't stop
They won't stop pushing
I remember
Feeling guilty
Was it something I did?
Or was it what I said?
It's not you, it's not me
The situations telling us to be
Not you, not me
Wake up, don't give up
Get off your knees
It's your last chance
Or will you
Blame it all on circumstance
Where will you go?
When times are slow
And your still
Waiting for your next command
Waiting for your next command
Never gave your dreams a chance
Blamed it all on circumstance
Roots
Don't forget your roots
Don't forget your roots
Don't forget your roots
I was thinking about the good old times
And all the people who helped me survive
Now who the hell knows where I'd be
Without the branches of my family tree
I was thinking about the friends who cared
And all the times that we shared
And if I had the strength to be what I could be
Love and respect to the branches of my tree
Family Tree!!
Roots
Don't forget your roots
Don't forget your roots
Don't forget your roots
I was thinking about the good old times
And all the people who helped me survive
Now who the hell knows where I'd be
Without the branches of my family tree
I was thinking about the times we shared
And all the times I was scared
Living and learning in the NYC
Shout out's go out to my New York Family
Family Tree!
Roots
Don't forget your roots
Don't forget your roots
I want what the other kids have, I want it all
I want I want what the other kids have
I want brand name shoes
I want perfect teeth and something to smile about
I want an invitation
And my own cell phone and something to talk about
I want imagination
But there's no money for me to pay
I want I want what I want and I want it now
There's enough food on the table so I guess it's ok
I want I want and I want it now
I want I want
I want I want what the other kids have
I want I want, I want it all
I want I want that video game
Don't want to have to use my brain
I want to go where the cool kids go
I'm sneaking in but they don't know
There's no money for me to pay
I want I want what I want and I want it now
But there's enough food on the table so I guess it's ok
I want I want and I want it now
I want I want, I want it all
I want I want
I want I want what the other kids have
I want I want
I want it all
If I don't get these things I ask for maybe I should run away
But there's enough food on the table so I guess I'll stay
I want I want
I want I want what the other kids have
I want brand name shoes
I want perfect teeth and something to smile about
I want an imagination
There's no money for me to pay
I want I want what I want and I want it now
But there's enough food on the table so I guess it's ok
I want I want and I want it now
I want I want what the other kids have
I want I want I want what the other kids have
When it began, for those who don't know
it didn't matter how you looked or what you wore to a show
dress codes, FUCK NO! we didn't care
about the brand of your jeans and all that shit in your hair
But now the biggest part is all about the image and not the art
Fashion before passion!
And at nights, it makes me mad that I should have to ask:
What happened to the passion? (passion!)
What happened to the reason for screaming?
What happened to the music and the message that I love?
What happened to the hard work? (hard work!)
And why does everybody look the same?
What happened to the music and the message that I love?
And I know, that people change
and we go through different stages in life
and I'm not here to criticize
but the reason I scream, is a feeling inside
But now the biggest part is all about the image and not the art
Fashion before passion!
And at nights, it makes me mad that I should have to ask:
What happened to the passion? (passion!)
What happened to the reason for screaming?
What happened to the music and the message that I love?
What happened to the hard work? (hard work!)
And why does everybody look the same?
What happened to the music and the message that I love?
Lost (1,2,3,4) lifetime ago it seems
you gave up on your wildest dreams
but i refuse to let mine go
I took an oath, you can find me here
with an open heart and ears
refusing to surrender
I can't believe they don't remember
what it feels like to be young
What happened to the passion? (passion!)
What happened to the reason for screaming?
What happened to the music and the message that I love?
What happened to the hard work? (hard work!)
And why does everybody look the same?
So listen up 'cause this one goes out to the way we hate
We wonder how we all got so
And yes it's true we have to
But I will never understand just how
You can pretend you are a fan when you don't question
The things that you were told
You said you told and you might as well
Only your heart will ever know
I don't want to be part of the way we hate
I miss that good old fassioned chaos
Don't want to be another boring story
stand for glory
So listen up 'cause this one's all about the game we played
You made the rules and we obeyed
And if we changed it you would only feel betrayed
And you will never understand just how
We can't progress if you invest in the unchanged
'Cause it's so safe to stay the same
But I refused and as long as i resist
I must resist it but I know I'm about to lose
I don't want to be part of the way we hate
I miss that good old fassioned chaos
Don't want to be another boring story
stand for glory
How could you know?
but are you where you wanna be?
I don't want to be part of the way we hate
Can't fight the system when you got no rage
And I know we'll win if you give it all away
I don't want to be part of the way we hate
I miss that good old fassioned chaos
Don't want to be another boring story
stand for glory
I don't want to be part of the way we hate
I miss that good old fassioned chaos
Don't want to be another boy in the story
did anyone know their names? no oh! they took a leap of faith and landed underneath the flames. that's where the learning begins. lives given and taken, but do we ever know? brain stops, the heart keeps beating. where does the feeling go? where does the feeling go? like a moth blown twice, carried far away. keeps coming back because it's drawn to the flames. that's where the story begins. living and dying to never question why. silence beats the wings. still we feel we need to try. hearing... without a sound. screaming... without a voice. we have, we have, we have no choice. because we're drawn to the flames. underneath the flames. underneath the flames. underneath the flames (we will follow blindly). did anyone know their names, no! underneath the flames (we will follow blindly).
Yesterday you let go of my hand
And now I'm trying hard to understand
Was it really me you loved
Or some imaginary, perfect man?
Cos' I will miss the good and bad
And all I wanted was someone to love me
Just the way the way I am
So far from perfect, just doing the best I can
You're leaving and I know why
So look into these tear-filled eyes and know
I loved you through it all
It's unconditional, It's unconditional
Yesterday you had to say goodbye
And I didn't even have to wonder why
Cos' we had so many things go wrong
I was there, but you were not as strong
Cos' I will miss the good and bad
And all I wanted was someone to love me
Just the way the way I am
So far from perfect, just doing the best I can
You're leaving and I know why
So look into these tear-filled eyes and know
I loved you through it all
It's unconditional, It's unconditional
And all I wanted was someone to love me
Just the way the way I am
So far from perfect, just doing the best I can
You're leaving and I know why
So look into these tear-filled eyes and know
I loved you through it all
Standing alone in a situation
Somebody's talking their shit
Trying to control my frustration
Somebody's gonna get hit
But when is it right to fight?
And when is it right to walk away?
Sometimes we have no choice
And this is the price we pay Cause we don't have to be
What people see
Got our own minds
Got our own realities
We try to stick together
And let the music be our might
But this time there's gonna be a fight
We're not about senseless violence
Don't wanna spoil the fun
But when you get pushed, feels like an ambush
And this time you cannot run
My family looks out for me like friends
Our story never ends
We've run into the fire
And somehow water somes to save us
There are so few we can depend on
With blood there is an honor
We behave like we don't care
But it's so deep inside
It's more, more than you can see
It's thicker than water
It means more, so much more to me
It's thicker than water
We've all been struggling since I was three
How happy can we be?
We've turned some bad times into good
Always knowing where we stood
Now time has led us to the water
We get by on H2O
But remember what is stronger
And we let it flow
It runs so thick inside my viens
Through all the heartache and the pain
And everything I've come to be
It's more than you can see
She was with him, now everybody knows
Cause she told a friend, and that's the way it goes
People have loose lips, sometimes behind your back
You know, that's how they get their kicks
When the conversation lacks, you know
Tell a tale of contradiction
Gossip causes crucifixtion
They talk too much shut up
They talk too much
And I don't like what they say
It's just a bunch of bullshit anyway
He took her out to see what he could get
He got nothing but had to tell the guys he had
That's how rumors start
Just how they end I don't know
Go on spread the word
I wrote a story in the book of life today
I turned the page and then I turned and walked away
Cause what I wrote was just symbolic of the time
I've been surrounded by another state of mind
You do this, to gain control
You say that, to make yourself feel whole
You say this, just to be kind
I see it's all just a waste of fucking time!
Sometimes the problems freeze the pen that's in my hand
No rules provided that will make me understand
And then I think about the notes that I just took
I look around, then turn around, then close the book.
Cause I see the writing how it can be
I write this paragraph to tell me that I'm me
All rules provided, symbolic of the time
It keeps me from falling into another state of mind
I do this, to gain control
I do this, to make myself feel whole
I say this, not to be kind
I see it's all just a waste of fucking time!
Straight edge before you were born
heard Minor threat and it was on
it was on
38 years edge what the fuck you gotta say?
Is anyone out there still here today?
Nailed to the X, man I live this shit
I am an S.E.O.G. don't ever forget it
They said my views would change but they never did!
Still here, still here, after all these fucking years
Where did you go?
Still here, sincere, after all these fucking years
Where did you go?
To all the new kids this is a way to live
it's not a passing trend, a way to fit in
I never preached shit, I just spoke my mind
to live a positive life and don't waste you're time
Nailed to the X man, I live this shit
I am an S.E.O.G don't ever forget it.
All my friends did it all but I never gave, gave in.
Still here, still here, after all these fucking years
Where did you go?
Still here, sincere, after all these fucking years
Where did you go?
Where did you go? [x3]
What if you could live your life
Like you're the only one around
Would you do it just to see if you could
Or would it scare you too much
Not to see your friends hail, hail the gangs not here at all
Self reliable, that makes you responsible
For all the lies that you told
And you're telling them to yourself
What if you could live your life a minute at a time
Make the most of everything you do
Or would it scare you too much to enjoy the life you lead
Always complain about the things that you don't need
Self reliable, that makes you responsible
For all the lies that you told
And you're telling them to yourself
Self reliable, it may be a lot of work
But in the end it's the job that pays you well
Job that pays you well
Introspection, self doubt
Just trying to understand what you're all about
Will it end with contradiction
Would you feel the urge to scream
And wake up from this dream you don't know why
Self reliable, that makes you responsible
For all the lies that you told
And you're telling them to yourself
Self reliable, it may be a lot of work
But in the end it's the job that pays you well
Self reliable, that makes you responsible
For all the lies that you told
And you're telling them to yourself
Self reliable, it may be a lot of work
But in the end it's the job that pays you well
Self reliable the job that pays you well
Self reliable the job that pays you well
Well I woke up with this feeling yesterday
No matter how hard I tried I couldn't say
Where it came from and what it did to me
Like a hole inside too wide and way too deep
But I know
I'm gonna find my way
and I know
I gotta have my say
I hate when I turn on my fucking TV
A newsman's trying hard to explain my scene to me
Hardcore's been my life since way back when
It's my family, my future, my best friend
But I know
I'm gonna find my way
And I know
I gotta have my say
It's not fashion or a TV show
It's my life, It's the only one I know
It's not a new concept on MTV
It's something real beating inside of me
Woke up with this feeling yesterday
No matter how hard I tried I couldn't say
Where it came from and what it did to me
Like a hole inside too wide and way too deep
But I know
I'm gonna find my way
and I know
Once again you find yourself
Alone without a cause
Still the same bad habits
But you haven't paid the cost
Still searching for the seed
That grew into your need
That's who you are don't hide the scar
Now you look around for sympathy
Your life's a fuckingg mess
And she can't look into your eyes
And never hate to guess
She's looking for a stone
That crushed into your home
And you're still wanting to believe
That you can cover up the scar
That's who you are, we see the scar
That's who and what we see the cut
Wear the scar that's who you are
Thinking back to when
You were a lost and lonely kid
A look back at the tragic
And the damage that it did
Still waiting for the day
It all just goes away
That's who you are don't hide the scar
Now you know the reason
Why you feel so full of hate
Throw a stone I'm sure you'll
Hit someone who can relate
And now you know the reason
For the way you are
But you're still wanting to believe
That you can cover up the scar
That's who you are, we see the scar
That's who and what we see the cut
Sitting by myself at home
Waiting for a ring
I fight the urge to pick it up
so I can do my thing
I try to stay connected to
The lives of everyone
Tonight i'm calling you
Cause i got nothing better to do
I feel so alone and I
Can't get off the phone
I hope you're not at home cause I
Can't get off the phone
I know it's my obsession
But i see you got nothing better to do
I call because hearing is believing
And the only time I can't hear it ringing
Is when I'm singing
The phone is an extension
To my arm and mind
I talk, talk, talk to dusk to dawn
Hear what I'm saying
It was always true
I was never playing
When it came to you
Never good at showing
What you mean to me
Here's my last chance
To set my mind at ease
And all the times you slipped
Between the cracks disguised
As something sacred
Never knowing that I wanted you
Hold you in my arms, protect you
Never let the world upset you
Handing my life over to you
I was always running searching for excuses not to be together
Now the chase is over with this ring on your finger
The clock is ticking but I'm rotting
Tell me are you rotting?
If you're going to change just do it now
Are you ripe or rotting?
Only you can keep you down
Are you ripe or rotting?
If you're going to change just do it now
Are you ripe or rotting?
Don't want to deal with life's and it makes you afraid
all the plans that you made
So much potential but you never see
Rotting away but you used to be ripe
I want my pictures back
My innocence I can't I can't retrieve
If it's so hard just to believe
Time to take it back
Don't let them kill your dreams
It's not as hard as it may seem
Don't be afraid to take a chance
Must be a way to make your circumstances right
Tell me are you rotting?
If you're going to change just do it now
Are you ripe or rotting?
Only you can keep you down
Are you ripe or rotting?
Don't want to face your fears
is built in your heart
don't know where to start
How many doors will they slam in your face?
you to keep your fate
I want my pictures back
My innocence I can't I can't retrieve
It's so hard just to believe
Time to take it back now
Don't let them kill your dreams
It's not as hard as it may seem
Don't be afraid to take a chance
Must be a way to make your circumstances right
Tell me are you rotting?
If you're going to change just do it now
Are you ripe or rotting?
Only you can keep you down
The clock is ticking but I'm rotting
Tell me are you rotting?
If you're going to change just do it now
Are you ripe or rotting?
Only you can keep you down
Are you ripe or rotting?
If you're going to change just do it now
Are you ripe or rotting?
Am I responsible for what I think and feel?
Is there a model I could never be
Am I depending on you
To show, to say, to tell me what to do
Because I think, I say
It helps me find a way
To voice my opinion without all this shit
And I know, I try to read between the lines
Cause some truth may lie there waiting
But I don't
I won't sit back and let it happen
I will stand up, I won't sit back
And watch the tables turn
Is this a lesson that we've all got to learn
How can one person really know?
And set a path for me to follow
Reality deviod of truth
Can only represent the concrete proof
That I need to hear
It tells me what to fear
Know all about you but are you just a name
You like the feeling a reputation brings
Some say your violent and people are afraid
I say you're silent and holding back the pain
Inside - you just can't live a lie
Inside - just can't live a lie
Reputation calls and now it follows you
But what about the changes you been going through
One of these days the things they say
Won't mean the same as before then when reputation calls
You don't have to answer anymore
One of these days when you don't feel so hard
One of these days when you put down your guard
Heart hanging out for the world to see
Sunshine!
It's so revealing in my head.
It's still unwinding from the road
Where I've been broken down.
But it's nothing that I can't fix.
I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
In my mind I'm always seeing someone else's pain.
Then I remember when I felt the same.
It takes a little patience, but some time will heal the scars.
I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
I'm alive, I never thought I'd wake up.
And now I know I still believe.
Inside the fog is lifting
Now I see what I've been missing.
And I know I only had to stop.
And pack my things it's time to go. Let's go.
I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
Fix me up and take me home.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
I've been feeling, feeling broken.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
Fix me up and take me home.
I'm in need of repair. Feeling broken.
Giving all I got and I feel so drained
Preaching motivation, trying to fan that flame
Now it's time to turn around and do something for me
Something must have changed and you can blame reality
Something's changed but I don't feel the same
No reason why, I got no alibi and no regrets
I must be out of debt
I must be out of debt
Lied awake at night just wondering if I did it right
Tried to be the optimist and help two worlds unite
But now I got to step it up so I don't get left behind
Something must have changed but it's ok and I'm alright
Something's changed but I don't feel the same
No reason why, I got no alibi and no regrets
I must be out of debt
I must be out of debt
I don't owe anymore
I don't owe anymore
I'm still the same, something must have changdd
Now the world has turned and this is what I learned
I've done all I can now I'm changing up the plan
Because I need to find a way to do my own thing
Something's changed but I don't feel the same
No reason why, I got no alibi and no regrets
I must be out of debt
I'm finally out of debt
I must be out of debt
I'm finally out of debt
I don't owe anymore
What if I said, I was an accident waiting to happen
Woudl I trip and fall, fall on my words
And would you say, say that I was wrong
My words were out of place, went where I didn't belong
This to me is fact and fiction plays a role
Confusing situations that I can't control
The heart of matter, it beats with pride
Sometimes I wear it on my sleeve, sometimes I keep it inside
And no one said it was gonna be easy
And I'm not afraid to try
And with the odds stacked up against me, I will have to fight
One life, one chance, gotta do it right!!!
And I can't let fate dictate what's best for me
Gotta take control of my own destiny, you can't relate
You think there's no escape but I got everything at stake
Here just to prove you wrong!
And no one said it was gonna be easy
And I'm not afraid to try
And with the odds stacked up against me, I will have to fight
Man you've gotta problem, who made you fuckin' king A macho pig with nothing in your head. No girls around you, their place is not at gigs, Don't want 'em on the dance floor cause they're weak. A woman's place, the kitchen, on her back, It's time to change that attitude, and quick. Showing us your phobias, you're scared to see 'em think, You'd rather dress 'em up in pretty lace, All nice and colored pink. You feel so fucking threatened, When they stand out in front, A stupid, passive piece of meat is all you really want But it's Not just boys' fun There's girls who put out fanzines, others put on shows, Yet they're not allowed to get out on the floor. Some make the music, well that you can accept. Hell, maybe live you'll get some tits and ass You fucking moron, your brains have run amuck, A girl's only lot in life is not to fuck!
I've got a special power
That I'm not afraid to use
Every waking hour
I discover something new
So come on this is my adventure
This is my fantasy
It's all about living in the ocean
Bein' wild and free
(Chorus)
'Cause I'm no ordinary girl
I'm from the deep blue underworld
Land or sea
I've got the power if I just believe
'Cause I'm no ordinary girl
I'm from the deep blue underworld
Land or sea
The world's my oyster
I'm the pearl
No ordinary girl
We've got to stick together
'Cause the best things come in three
I want it to last for ever
All the magic and fun at sea
So come on this is our adventure
There's no telling where we'll go
But all I want is just to live amongst the h2o!
'Cause I'm no ordinary girl
I'm from the deep blue underworld
Land or sea
I've got the power if I just believe
'Cause I'm no ordinary girl
I'm from the deep blue underworld
Land or sea
The world's my oyster
I'm the pearl
No ordinary girl
Come along it just gets better
So much to do and just so little time
'Cause it all depends on whether
You want to leave the land above behind
(Chorus X2)
'Cause I'm no ordinary girl
I'm from the deep blue underworld
Land or sea
I've got the power if I just believe
'Cause I'm no ordinary girl
I'm from the deep blue underworld
Land or sea
The world's my oyster I'm the pearl

Am I wasting all my time
Chasing innocence to find
A time in my life when I should have known better
Have I wasted all these years
Hiding back the tears behind a smiling face
Am I a liar?
Because I want to do what's right
But I need to understand
Do I burn the bridge
As these thoughts come floating in
Will the memories race to a higher price to pay
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
For the millionth time today
I'm still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And I don't have much to say
As I fumble through my lines
Tripping wires in my mind
There's a script to find
From another place in time
Where the memories race to a higher price to pay
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
For the millionth time today
I'm still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And I don't have much to say
Looking foward for tomorrow
Still yesterday
Can't you see that I tried
Can't you see that I
Can't you see I'm
Am I wasting all my time
Chasing innocense to find
A time in my life when I should have known better
Have I wasted all these years
Hiding back the tears behind a smiling face
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
For the billionth time today
I'm still waiting
Gonna take a to trip down memory lane
And I don't have much say
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
And I don't have much to say
I'm still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
Looking for another place to play
I'm still waiting
Gonna take a trip down memory lane
Growing up full of apologies
Spent all my time trying to be me
We all know it's never really easy
At least I know I can admit it
You need to remember, you need time to forget
We need the time to change our minds
And separate the present from tomorrow
Disguised as yesterday
Time moves so slow, but change comes too fast
On top of the world, how could it last?
So many hands to shake, never give you a break
They think you have it all
But where are those hands when you're falling
I remember how it used to be
Things were great, why did they change
You need time to remember, you need time to forgive
We needed time to make our minds
And try to change the present for tomorrow
Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone
I hear you call my name, and it feels like...
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
Down on my knees I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there
I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing
I have no choice I hear your voice
Feels like fire
I close my eyes, oh god I think I'm falling
Out of the sky, I close my eyes
Heaven help me
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
Down on my knees I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there
Like a child, you whisper softly to me
You're in control just like a dream
Now I'm chasing
It's like a dream, no ending no beginning
You're here with me, it's like a dream
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
Down on my knees I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there
When you call my name it's like a little prayer
Down on my knees I want to take you there
In the midnight hour I can feel your power
Just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there
Just like it used to be, you are a mystery
Just like a dream, you don't know what you see
Just like a prayer your voice can take me there
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
It's like a dream to me
Just like a prayer, I'll take you there
No more lies with violent ends,
No more fakes disguised as friends,
No one has the time to waste on them!!!
I want you to know, something that I feel
It's deep inside of me and part of you as well
Understanding, it slips so far away and sometimes I can't deal
Don't have the time for someone else's scandal
My own life is hard enough to handle
And I still believe, most people are the same
We're so conflicted and we need someone to blame
Is it just pride or do we have to hide
All our problems, no we will never tell
And we will liberate ourselves from them - liberate
Innocent kids!
Young, dumb, and naive
Told when to come and when to leave
Used and abused, like a bad habit does
Then accepted and neglected like and MTV buzz
Innocent kids!
Make a past for yourself
Get out the handbook
Off the fucking shelves
So put on your best fake smiles and
Pull the knives out of their backs
This better than you fantasy
Has been done kids, way, way back!
Sorry it took so long, for you to see
Made up your past now
I got your bootstraps, I'll pull you up and won't think twice
And you can take it as advice, we've got to help each other out
Cause that's what this is all about
And how the fuck can we forget, how we got here today, no way
Now it's time to make it clear, that we would not have made it here
Without the ones who pulled us up, taught us how to make it work
And if you ever get the chance to change somebody's circumstance
I hope you know what you should do
Cause that shit will come back to you
I got your bootstraps, I'll pull you up and won't think twice
And you can take it as advice, we've got to help each other out
Cause this is how we all survive and we're never gonna stay alive
Ain't it strange how time just slips away
Then I got your call the other day
All these years and you're still in that place
And you really don't have much to say
Like, what about your dreams?
And are they blowing away
While you sit there wishing you could start again
Are you stuck in a rut? Helpless not hopeless
Got a fear in your gut? Helpless not hopeless
Are you waiting for luck? Helpless not hopeless
And I know how hard it is to change
With so many lives to rearrange and every time you feel so close
You forget about what you want most
Like what about your dreams
And are they blowing away
While you sit there wishing you could start again
Time, it's funny how time slips away
Time, and all your dreams they won't wait another day
Time, and it's hard, hard to make that change
When you talk about your homelife
I try to identify
With my own memories
Childhood life was such a breeze
But now i'm slipping away
From the boy my mother made
I'm growing on, but i hold on
To the days that made me fell so
Powerless and ignorant
Without a cent, without the sense to know
That one day i would have to try
To survive and go
First time you gotta leave your home
Second time you live alone
Third time you just don't know
Fourth time you gotta pack your life and go
On the day my father died
I was too naive to cry
Inside i was so unclear
I always thought he's reappear
But now i'm slipping away
From the lost child he made
I'm growing but i hold on
To his name and to the days of
Innocence and selfishness
I find these things impossible to shake
But i won't break, until i take
Do you remember when we were afraid?
Crossing our fingers we'd turn out ok
No faith in the world cause we doubted ourselves
But in time, came to find, the hard times had made us strong
Now the fear in me is gone, found the truth within, I'm strong
Only afraid of never knowing, all the things I could have done
Do you still feel all alone and betrayed?
Kicking yourself for mistakes that you made
Well it's time to stand up and set yourself free
The future is waiting while you search for what went wrong
I remember all the crazy shit we used to do
Seemed like we weren't afraid of anything
We were ready to take on the world
Not worried about our future at all
Ah, fuck it, we did that shit cause we were afraid
We were afraid our time was running out
We didn't think we had the same chances as the others had
Do what you want it really doesn't matter anyway
A lot of different people got a lot of different things to say
But what is a reason for hunting anything
What are you hiding, what are you running from
What went wrong and made you kill for fun
It just don't make sense
Clawed my way to the top of the food chain
God gave me the biggest brain
Used my smarts to build a weapin
Now I am the forest king
Do what you want I just don't see the reward
No matter how you slice it killing is a cowardly sport
Murderous ambition, your ammunition
You really slay the fuckin' competition
A little trigger to help turn a boy to a man
I don't understand
Clawed my way to the top of the food chain
God gave me the biggest brain
Used my smarts to build a weapin
Now I am the forest king
Clawed my way to the top of the food chain
God gave me the biggest brain
Used my smarts to build a weapin
Now I am the forest king
Is this common sense?
Clawed my way to the top of the food chain
God gave me the biggest brain
Used my smarts to build a weapin
Now I am the forest king
I am the forest king
Do what you want it really doesn't matter anyway
I am the forest king
Do what you want it really doesn't matter anyway
I am the forest king
Do what you want to, do what you want to
You look me in the eyes, and I could not see your disguise
I followed every caution that I knew, but now it's no surprise
That you can only talk the talk
And now there's nothing left for me to do
I will never hold my breath cause I will only suffocate
And while I'm waiting, time is wasting
And I can only do my best to put another to the test
And while I'm waiting, you're just fading away
You followed me around and picked my heart up off the ground
You made me wanna be a better me, and then you turned your back
As if our time was all an act, I guess there's nothing left for me to see
All I could see is what you wanted me to see
All I could heart is what you would never say
And all I could do is just go on without you anyway
Try but you can't bring me down
Try but you can't let me
Try but you can't bring me down
I've come too far now
To ever close my eyes
Made my mistakes
And I wear no disguise
I speak my mind and let the rumors
Twist the worlds around
Some try so hard, but no one gets me down
I get so stressed out
I keep running out of time
I'll do my best to make
A better life
I feel your doubt and I don't even
Wonder why
Got it figured out
All I have to do is try
When times get tough, I'll rise above
Can't get me down, no you can't
Let me down, I made my mistakes
Wear no disguise, I've come too far now
All these politics, it's deception
Falling on America's weak
They say we're keeping ourselves down
We sold out on half ass trailer park dreams
So now we're living with rednecks, racists, blk/white hatred
I'm trying so hard to love my nation
Underfed, overbred, I just can't get ahead
It's not about the race or the revelation
People shooting up the blocks because of empty pockets
Fighting with the cops because of empty pockets
Selling what we got because of empty pockets
Blaming every other face for our empty pockets
And I think we need a shift in direction
Better wake your ass out of sleep and stop judging others
Cause now we're living with hard times, sex crimes
Friends are hard to find, I'm trying not to lose my mind
In the low-class, high-class, in the middle sinking fast
I know you wanna blame it on my education
I'm hanging on the block because of empty pockets
Fighting with the cops because of empty pockets
Selling what I got because of empty pockets
Blaming every other face for our empty pockets
Lost without a trace because of empty pockets
Can I overcome thse things I'm feeling, a coldness deep inside
The violence, the loss of friends, it's got me desensitized
Why in the world, does the world keep trying me
I'll try, don't wanna hear all the hurt, I don't wanna see
Why can't you see
Sometimes I feel numb, I can't feel no pain
Can I overcome, things I can't explain
And I still want to try and trust again
But I just can't believe
The things I read, I just wanna close my eyes
The TV news gets me confused, so now I'm paralysed
And I can't close my eyes, pretending not to see what I've become
You can't have me
I won't sign my life away
I'm not even gonna listen
Cause your words are based on lies
The truth escapes you
You put your foot in your mouth
Let me tell you what it's all about
I feel it here
The feeling is real
It's the only thing you can't take away
I feel it here
The feeling won't go
I'm gonna let you know
You can't have it
I wont give it
You can't take it away
Your foolish tounge
Has been divided
Two pths to follow
I'm on the side of the truth
Cause I'm united to something real
Something that you'll never be
I feel it here
The feeling is real
It's the only thing you can't take away
I feel it here
The feeling won't go
I'm gonna let you know
You can't have it
I wont give it
You can't take it away
H2O GO!!
I feel it here
The feeling is real
It's the only thing you can't take away
I feel it here
The feeling won't go
I'm gonna let you know
You can't have it
I wont give it
You can't take it away
My friends look out for me like family
My mom's been struggeling since I was three
My friend's look out for me like family
My mom's been struggeling since I was three
Am I scared, am I pushed, Am I worried?
Another Day, another year so what's the hurry
Here I sit, alone and in despair
The world outside is cold, alone and unfair
No motivation, no college degree
Day to day survival starting to worry me
No goals, no money, no inspiration
My crew, tattoos, that's my only salvation
5 years from now where will I be?
On the same road with no future to no destiny
No ideas and fear is on my mind
Tell me, is my life just a waste of fucking time
Someday maybe I'll find a way
To make all my fears go away
5 years from now where will I be
On the same road with no future to no destiny
My friends look out for me like family
My mom's been struggeling since I was three
Am I scared, am I pushed, am I worried
Another day, another year so what's the hurry?
Only one love in my life
You know the rest, they never felt so fucking right
There's got to be more, stop procrastination
Like depending on others for touring vacation
5 years from now where will I be
On the same road with no future to no destiny
And so she said to me
I'm leaving, I can't take it anymore
For all that it's worth, I knew that was over
Long before she turned the handle on my door
Cause I can read between the lies
And I can see behind your eyes
All the lies and alibis
And I can understand your mind
I can see through all your lies
All your eyes and alibis
And so it's over as the pictures
From my wallet hit the floor
Well I stand in distrust
Cause I can't believe it's happening
And my head tells me my heart should close the door
Cause I can read between the lines
And I can see behind your eyes
All the lies and alibis
And I can understand your mind
I can see through all your lies
All your lies and alibis
I tried hard to erase
Cause I don't think that I could ever replace it
I think of all the time I wasted
Listening to your lies
And so it's over
As I wipe the visions of you from my mind
Well I don't count for much
Nut I know the next time
Listening to these reasons
Are they truth or alibis?
I can hear it on the line
While you keep saying everything is fine.
But there's a static in your voice
And all I wanna do is read between the noise
[Chorus:]
I hear you but I can't hear you
And I feel that something is wrong again
And now I'm losing my friend
Have we been disconnected again
I'm feeling disconnected
Must have been something I said
Disconnected
Try and believe in what you say
I hear the click and its giving you away
And I wanna be there when you're down
Leave a message now that I'm not around
Cuz I know you but I don't know you
You cannot tell me what's inside
why can't you swallow your pride
Too many questions
But no one seems to know
The value of the answers
Too many fingers and all pointed back at me
Is it because I was the one who pointed mine first?
I see a problem but maybe it's part of me
Excuses without reasons
I have a conscious inspiring to be
More than a thought that's burning deep inside of me
I see a doorway and I fumble for a key
How many turns until it opens?
And what will it reveal?
I'm at the center, or is it left of me
When will it open?
On the surface, the smile evades the truth
The words are even cheaper
I ask for something impossible to give
You can't have me
I won't sign my life away
I'm not even gonna listen
Cause your words are based on lies
The truth escapes you
You put your foot in your mouth
Let me tell you what it's all about
I feel it here
The feeling is real
It's the only thing you can't take away
I feel it here
The feeling won't go
I'm gonna let you know
You can't have it
I wont give it
You can't take it away
Your foolish tounge
Has been divided
Two pths to follow
I'm on the side of the truth
Cause I'm united to something real
Something that you'll never be
I feel it here
The feeling is real
It's the only thing you can't take away
I feel it here
The feeling won't go
I'm gonna let you know
You can't have it
I wont give it
You can't take it away
H2O GO!!
I feel it here
The feeling is real
It's the only thing you can't take away
I feel it here
The feeling won't go
I'm gonna let you know
You can't have it
I wont give it
At the cost of living I die
At the cost of dying I live
At the chance of sounding selfish
It's my life time
On the chance that I'll survive
And I'll keep my soul alive
Written on the wall and sign says
It's my life time
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
At the cost of losing I win
At the cost of winning I lose
I guess I only have to choose
'Cause it's my life time
On the chance the world slows down
And I'm finally losing my ground
In the end I hear the sound
And it's my life time
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Somebody tell me what I'm doing here
I can't find the answers in the dark
You want to know about my biggest fear?
It's wasted time, time, time
Am I wasting time?
Standing here waiting for a sign
All I want to know is am I wasting time
Click click click time
Click click click time
Click click click am I wasting time?
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
Shine the light down
Shine the light down
Shine the light down on me
it was a sunday morning
i was way too young for this day
the phone rang, and her fates changed
and thats when all the pain came
i sat there trying to comprehend
i'll never see my dad again
he never saw me singing
he never saw me spell my name
and the images won't fade
your voice, my joy, your pain
its painted on my brain
no matter what i do or say
another sunday morning
the biggest day of my life
she said "there's something inside me
nine months and you will meet him"
in the delivery room i'm a patient boy
i wait, i wait, i wait
for the new life we created
if he's watching above would he be proud?
it's painted on my brain
your voice, my joy, your pain
its painted on my brain
no matter what i do or say
these images won't fade
PAINTED ON MY BRAIN
these images won't fade
your voice, my joy, your pain
its painted on my brain
no matter what i do or say
these images won't fade
your voice, my joy, your pain
its painted on my brain
no matter what i do or say
Who can I believe in when all my heroes are gone?
Does anybody out there know their right from wrong?
No I can't trust the president, I can't trust the cops
I can't believe my ears when the radio's on
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I'm making my own way
Trying to learn from my mistakes
'Cause I've got no role model
No footsteps I can follow
I'm making my own way
And I can't expect a teachert to keep me safe from harm
I can't expect a criminal to say he's wrong
But at the lowest standards I need a stand up friend
Someone I can look up to put my faith back in
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I'm making my own way
Trying to learn from my mistakes
'Cause I've got no role model
No footsteps I can follow
I'm making my own way
My own way
So I'm turning off the tv and I smashed my radio
'Cause I realize my heroes are the people I already know
And I'm burning up the papers and tearing up all the magazines
'Cause they make me feel so lonely
When there's no one who represends me
Am I all alone? Am I all alone?
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I feel so lonely in your world
So disappointed in your world
I'm making my own way
Trying to learn from my mistakes
'Cause I've got no role model
No footsteps I can follow
Just when you thought you had it made
You had a life your bills were paid
But your heart was numb inside
Abandoned by your foolish pride
And this I know, nothing comes from shallow goals
I've tried and you will find, all your riches they come from inside
And here it comes that empty feeling again
I wanna help you out
I wanna make you understand what it's about
I'm not just here to be your fairweather friend
We'll see this to the end and get you on your feet again
Now that you've lost, you win so much
Now there's only you to trust, with your mind left open wide
First day of the rest of your life
So now you know there's something you can't control
It's ok, your war has died, but the battle still goes on outside
Me and all my friends we got nothing to prove, nothing to lose!
you know us and what we achieved
from the streets of L.E.S to your TV!
Many have come, and many will go, but 20 years later
Who's still runnin' the show
Hard times have come our way, we held it down and kept the PMA!
With only one voice we have more to say - still mentally vexed
Hi-Lo what does it mean
Another word for temperature, followed by degree
I know it may sound simple
But when I look in your eyes
Degrees of seperation is what I find
You lie, I try, you lie, I try!
You lie from the center, distracted by everyone
Cause everything revolves around you
Not saying that I'm better
But when I look in your eyes
Degrees of seperation is what I find
You lie, I try, you lie, I try
Time's up, I won't lie
Your whole life is a fuckin' lie
You fake, but me I stay true
Flags up, wave 'em high
The grass is greener, on the other side
My mistake was ever meeting you
Hi-Lo what does it mean
Another word for temperature, followed by degree
I know it may sound simple
But when I look in your eyes
Degrees of seperation is what I find
I remember all those bands
Preaching with motherfucking X's on their hands
The Youth Of Yesterday, what else can I say
The times have changed and they've faded away
The times have changed and the trends move on
The spirit of youth I still carry on
Close minded attitudes, you know the youth crew
Alienating everyone who didn't think like
who didn't
Act like
Who didn't
Look like you
Here today
And gone tomorrow
Memories Of Yesterday
Leave me in sorrow
Here today
And gone tomorrow
Sincerity? It was only borrowed
Hey but where are they now?
Cause I'm still here and I'm drug free and fucking sincere
Hey but that's okay cause they're out of the scene
They're denying hardcore while they chase the green
You know who you are you insincere,
straight edge last year,
drinkin' a beer,
have no friends,
no heart or soul,
playing the roll,
full of shit.
You see me on the train,
there is no need to explain,
I'm not what you think I am,
I'm just like you, with tattoos!
Cuz I wear my heart on my sleeve,
my appearance may be deceiving,
it doesn't matter what you think,
because the truth is in ink!
This is the life I chose,
this is the only thing I know,
so don't pass judgement on me!
The places that I've been,
forever written on my skin,
so don't pass judgement on me!
You see me walking down the street,
and you grab your kids and cross the other side,
looking me like i'm a fucking criminal a degenerate lowlife,
you got me all wrong!
Cuz I wear my heart on my sleeve,
my appearance may be deceiving,
it doesn't matter what you think,
Because the truth is in ink!
This is the life I chose,
this is the only thing I know,
so don't pass judgement on me!
The places that I've been,
forever written on my skin,
so don't pass judgement on me!
You know you can't judge a book by it's cover,
you know you got me all wrong,
and I know my appearance may be deceiving,
but I feel...
I FEEL IT ALL,
SO DON'T PASS JUDGEMENT ON ME!
This is the life I chose,
this is the only thing I know,
so don't pass judgement on me!
The places that I've been,
forever written on my skin,
so don't pass judgement on me!
It doesn't matter what you think,
Six years ago, a very hot summer night, ave a with friends hanging tight
No future, no goals, and no destiny, hanging on the corner
For the world to see
Some friends drunk, some friends high
Laughing talking shit as the people walked by
The air was tense and muggy as fuck, lower east side running amuck
Guilty by association, judged by who I know
Can't keep all my friends out of trouble
When they got no place to go
Me drug free in the midst of it all
Crazy fucking summer hanging out with madball
People got their ass kicked, people got hurt
But I was accepted for all it was worth
Bad repuations are hard to live down
I'm not guilty for who I hang around
Sometimes I felt like an outcast, trying to talk my friends out of trouble
Tried to be a positive role model, but I got caught up in the rumble
We had ideas scribbled on walls, six years later, our destiny calls
Living our lives, some of us in bands
Touring the world, but we know where we stand
Cause when we play shows together or just hanging out
We're still the same fellas, still all tight, young till we die
And ready to fight for what's right
As I look back now on that summer vacation
If I say something that you don't like
Just think about it cause I may be right
If I say something just hear me out
Cause I just might know what I'm talking about
If I say something whatever I say
Cause my words have meaning and that's the truth
Life's full of problems and baby that's ok
Inside the crew and that's the way
So just remember that what I say
When I say something well don't turn your head
I'm here to help you when things go wrong
I'm staying away from your negative space
You're only bringing me down
Whenever you come around
I see the look on your face, you're in a world of hate
Don't wanna be the one you take it out on
Anger is a wall around you
No-one's getting through
Friendships falling down around you
What are you gonna do?
I'm trying to give something positive
You wouldn't understand
Cause it's an open hand
Not a closed fist, are you getting the jist
Or are you just getting pissed
I'm not willing to waste my time
Believing that you're gonna do what's right
I won't be there to catch your fall
My friends look out for me
Like my extended family
They always have my back, right or wrong
Despite our differences
I even gave you money to live
After everyone had written you off, right or wrong.
You were a fairweather friend
You didn't have my back til the end
You took what you needed and disappeared again
Fairweather friend, you didn't have my back til the end
You took what you needed and disappeared again.
I always had a weak spot for you
You only needed me when it was convenient
I learn now, don't let people in my life so fast
Cos' they never last
I find my childhood friends are the ones I can depend on.
Cos' everyone has a past, right or wrong.
You were a fairweather friend
You didn't have my back til the end
You took what you needed and disappeared again
Fairweather friend, you didn't have my back til the end
You took what you needed and disappeared again.
We don't need friends like you
We don't need friends like you
We don't need friends like you
Right or Wrong
You were a fairweather friend
You didn't have my back til the end
You took what you needed and disappeared again
Fairweather friend, you didn't have my back til the end
I thought this was suppose to be about open minds and unity
Not alienation, separation or who is more pc
You people pointing fingers, judging others need to realize
To each their own, get off your soapbox thrown
Who are you to criticise?
And it's so easy to be anti, close your mind up tight
And you walk around the world
Thinking everything you know is right
It's so easy to protest and so hard to fucking give
No one person has the answers, there's no one way to live
Nobody's better than no one else, straight edge or what you eat
Stand up for what you think is right, you don't have to be elite
Think of all you're missing when your on that narrow road
Do you really believe or is it just what you've been told
Stand up for what you think is right, but who are you to criticise
Your narrow mind has left you in a moral state of imaginary grace
Your cause has lost it's taste
And now you're gone
Just like that you're gone...and you're never coming back!!!
And it's so easy to be anti, close your mind up tight
And you walk around the world
Thinking everything you know is right
It's so easy to protest and so hard to fuckin give
I'm calling you out for everyone to see
Because you look like, act like people you wanna be
I'm calling you out, for everyone to know
Because you look like, act like, a fake!
I know you kid, so don't play the part
Yeah you got pride, you got heart
But the world you come from is much different than ours
Cos there's a thin line between
What's real and what's fantasy
I'm calling you out for everyone to see
Because you look like, act like people you wanna be
I'm calling you out, for everyone to know
Because you look like, act like, a fake!
I know you kid and what you been through
and it's okay to fuck up, just be you
no one believes you in your new outfit
Cos there's a thin line between
What's real and what's fantasy
I'm calling you out for everyone to see
Because you look like, act like people you wanna be
I'm calling you out, for everyone to know
Because you look like, act like, a fake!
Welcome to the real world
You're not welcome in my world
You're not my brother, you're not my friend
I told you before, once again I must remind you
I'm calling you out for everyone to see
Because you look like, act like people you wanna be
I'm calling you out, for everyone to know
He's always staring at me
He's always fuckin' with me
Softly whispering to me
He makes promises he never keeps
If you should wonder why
I never seem to try
To turn my back and walk away
I'm killin' myself every day
It keeps on eating my soul
7 days a week
The ghost keeps on calling
It's killin' all my sleep
He's always firing me up
He's telling me I need no friends
He's saying that he will be back
He's saying I've got him instead
Oh where's the man I knew
I feel afraid and a bit confused
Although I pray for another shot
I know that he is all that I've got
It keeps on eating my soul
7 days a week
The ghost keeps on calling
