Chased by a dark cloud negativity the story of my
so called life questions no answers no actions just words
i can't find a direction to turn no easy steps the road
to success you keep me depressed I'm always depressed
hang with me hand and hand you changed search to rearrange the way
we communicate
A god made human is what you are yet you're acting like a god
Retched is the plot stirred in the pot just want to be active
hands to hands you change need to be noticed look back to focus
hocus pocus you're done
On a dim you stand no weakness to ignore ego like mentality you talkin
mighty high you live to love to lie can't understand why give me
another try look in the mirror boy you're nothin but a toy you live
a gimmick you're like a puppet
hang with me hand and hand you changed search to rearrange
the way we communicate
A god made human is what you are yet
you're acting like a god
Retched is the plot stirred in the pot
just want to be active hands to hands you change need to be noticed
look back to focus hocus pocus you're done I made you
I broke you believed you realize this time I came prepared
Pensando que decirte a ti porque eres asi con tu gente ie lo digo
I dont know how to say to make you understand that
when i turn my head to look I wanna see your hands.
You used to care.
In the beginning, it felt like you'd always be there.
Now i see that winning's not easy.
It's something that needs to be held the right way.
In the beginning, feels like we're going to win.
But somewhere you caused this to end.
I dont know how to say to make you understand that
when i turn my head to look I wanna see your hands.
I need space too.
Would of wanted it with you.
I need time to think too.
But all i seem to think about is me minus you.
In the beginning, feels like we're going to win.
But somewhere you caused this to end
I dont know how to say to make you understand that
when i turn my head to look I wanna see your hands.
In the beginning, feels like we're going to win.
Now it's the end and we start to pretend.
Somewhere you caused this to end.
I dont know how to say to make you understand that
No more secrets
No more games
Not another day of living this way
Cigarette smoke filled room concealing
Everthing your heart is feeling
You took away the only thing left worth fighting for
The lock is broken on the front door
And everybody's walking in covered in mud
To take turns on the thing that you've become
What's done is done and done is gone so
Let what's coming come
All this ends here and now
Cause I'm about to put my foot down
I've been a witness
To all of your lies and games
I've been a witness
You are the worst mistake i ever made
I've been a witness
To all of the games you play
So sick of your bullshit
You are the worst mistake i ever made
Not another word
Not until they heard
Every single bad situation that occured
Every wrong look and feeling
You got me crawling on the god damn ceilings
I'm taking all the evidence calling all the papers
Plastering your face on every television station
No more back ally cover-up bullshit
I'm leaving and I'm taking what I came with
What's done is done and done is gone so
Let what's coming come
All this ends here and now
Cause I'm about to put my foot down
I've been a witness
To all of your lies and games
I've been a witness
You are the worst mistake i ever made
I've been a witness
To all of the games you play
So sick of your bullshit
You are the worst mistake i ever made
I've been a witness to you
And all of the things that you do
You make my job so easy
Because you look so guilty
I've been a witness
To all of your lies and games
I've been a witness
You are the worst mistake i ever made
I've been a witness
To all of the games you play
So sick of your bullshit
You are the worst mistake i ever made
Toxic waste corrupts the air
Adulteration of man's breath
The sky pours forth rains of acid
Waters of life now bring death
Clear cuts espose the land
Forest ravaged by greed
Corporate lies being bought
Destruction for profit their creed
Surrounded by nonpoint filth
Pollution's silent killer
Ignoring our earth's decline
Out of sight, out of mind
Established upon the deep
Founded upon the seas
The earth became infected
From the fall came it's disease
Pollution corrupts your soul
Wake up from your careless sleep
Open your eyes to see
What you sow you'll surely reap
Take me to the pain,
and all the way back again.
Taking me to the pain,
and all the way back.
Life sums up in three words,
better than average.
It never comes easy.
It's a savage world.
With damage attached,
and doses of happiness,
in between if you can survive the rest.
The lies that consume you.
Pain.
The pain shows you the way.
The feeling kills inside you.
Pain.
But you stay knowing eventually,
the pain goes away.
You have to get through it somehow.
I'll tell you when,
the time isn't now!
I'm on the ground with 110 men,
beating the life from me.
I shake off most of them,
to reveal my shattered bones.
My stand my decision to,
my reasons for it all.
I take the way of the others...
Straight back to the pain,
and all the way back again.
Taking me to the pain,
and all the way back.
Forget about taking though,
seeing past, understanding,
letting it go, forgiving
and forgetting, when we know
everything we know and doing
nothing about it.
We're just puppets with the hand
of pain controlling form inside
us and it takes us to the pain.
Knowing that they hurt us when
they take us back around again.
Straight back to the pain,
and all the way back.
Could I put it down on paper for you?
Then you're forcing me to suffer you.
How alone we are till the pain comes along.
How alone we are till the pain comes along.
And when you think it's never going to pass,
it's feeling so good at last.
One by one I deal with them.
Take them by the neck.
Drag them around kicking and screaming.
Showing the law of cause and effect.
Everything I feel with,
I tuck and protect from the storm.
And pray for the sake of the people
who make the worst mistakes
of their naturally born lives.
Snapping bones.
Head down and making holes.
In the walls closing around me.
Finding out I'm the enemy.
When they're surrounding the enemy.
You're trying to take down the enemey?
There's going to be a war!
I got just enough left to finish this,
and the rest I'm going to use on your friends.
Don't bother screaming for help.
They left you behind to fend for yourself.
Pattern of the mentally battered individual.
Matter that eventually shattered any principle.
Rather than barely getting by on just the minimum,
my decision is to take on the best.
Two tone straight gay misfits runaway different from the rest of you
I said don't look at me I got a different idea staring doesn't help
you scratching through the surface all my physical fears staring
doesn't help you I've got a new I.
Two tone straight gay misfits runaway different from the rest of you
I said catchy kinda wreck it stop all this racket
and all your rejects wrapped around your neck
and then I see you coming from behind me can you hear me sayin
can you hear the steps behind you I got the feelin what was the question
that you asked when you passed before me it was the comment
that you made that gave the impression that you could judge me people
lie strange surprise when I open your mouth and got ya hypnotized
won't you realize and give another try to someone you don't know
or have any idea who is coming up from behind can you hear the steps
Come on! Come on! Uh!
That's right, Nonpoint, Darwin's, Grimm in the house, lemme hear that shit
Na'mean? Uh! Bout to slay those fuckin tracks
Here we go, come on!
Once upon a time not long ago
When people wore pajamas and lived life slow
When laws were stern and justice stood
And people was behavin like they are too good
There lived a little boy that was misled
By another little boy and this is what he said
Check it "Me and you kid we gonna make some cash (What! What!)
Robbin old folks and makin' a (Come on! Come on!) dash..."
Their jackets tied, money came with ease
But one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease
He robbed another (Stick it up!) and another (Stick it up!) Michael Jackson (Stick it up!) Stevie Wonder (Stick it up!)
Tried to rob a man who was a D.C. undercover
The kid got wild startin' actin' erratic
He said "I Got you all in check"
Come on!
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah!
Come on!
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah!
Come on!
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah!
Come on!
Yah Yah Yah Yah Yah!
Come on!
When I step up in the place and yo I step correct
WOO-HAH!! Got you all in check
I got that head nod shit that make you break your neck
WOO-HAH!! Got you all in check
Well you know we come through to wreck the disco tech
WOO-HAH!! Got you all in check
Throw your hands up in the air and never disrespect
WOO-HAH!! Got you all in check
Yo grimm
Whats up?
Which muthafucka stole (Ha! Ha!) my flow?
Eenie, meenie, minie, moe
Throw them types of niggas right out the win-dow
Blast your ass, hit you with a di-rect blow!
BLAH!! Comin through like G.I. Joe
Star Wars movie deal like Han So-lo
Make you bounce around like this was calyp-so
Always shine cause I got the high pro glow
You think that you can hide, you think you can lay low?
Roll up on your ass like Hawaii 5-0
Mad out, with my dreads in my Kang-lo
Forget that Moet nigga, just bash the Cisco!
Yo! Take a trip down to Mexico
Come back with that shit that might make you psycho
Maximum frequency through that stereo
Sorry this is it but homeboy, I gots (Say what?) ta go!
Yo, where you go? Where you at? Bring it back!
Big props to all my people on the hip-hop scene who going
Fast than me with abrushima my inspiration from youth
Killa bee got loose, don't be teared, don't be mad, no, give it the truth, say
M-E-T-H-O-D, Man (x4)
Break yourself nigga!
Hey you! Get off my cloud
Let me get raw with my southpaw style
Mover, puffin on a fat blunt from Cuba
It's the Meth-Tical jet to Cal, I'm the Buddha
Monk on the hunt for machine gun foes
I keeps you open like a slug from the shotgun punk
Double-barrel, yeah Meth bring it to them proper
Partner, you ain't got no wins in me casa
Straight up, you movin too fast so baby wait up
Took one, added seven more now you eight up
Get on down with your bad self
Get on down, listen to the sound, come on!
Few can ever get this whole commit legit
See you all up in my dick
But you don't know shit, uh-huh
What's your definition of a real MC?
From what you dedicated, ya it must be me
Meth-Tical, a lewd descendant of the loud hip-hop
I go on to the break of dawn and just don't stop
Give me the green light and the sign one way
At last, What you got to say? Come on
Move it in, move it out
Stick it in, pull it out
Shake it up, shake it down
Come on y'all, Meth-Tical
Oh I hope and pray that I will
But today I am still
Just a...
M-E-T-H-O-D, Man (x11)
Break yourself (Get the fuck up!) nigga!
M-E-T-H-O-D, Man (x4)
Man! (x3)
M-E-T-H-O-D
Bitch!
Just staring off into space again
What am i looking for
Maybe a cigarette might
Calm me down or keep me warm
Maybe a drink might be able
To tell me that i might be able
To do this alone
Theyre probably both wrong
Why should i wait
(I hate this feeling)
For my mistakes
(Theyre tearing me up inside)
My head is a mess
Dressed in guilt
Tilted left
And when i straighten this out
Ill find the rest
And wear it on my chest
So the world can see
Everything that has been happening to me
Theres nothing to hide anymore
Theyre breaking through my front door
Why should i wait
(I hate this feeling)
For my mistakes
(Theyre tearing me up inside)
I waited too long to find the things
Taking the life away from this
You couldnt care that life was this
Without all the shit you covered it with
Why should i wait
(I hate this feeling)
For my mistakes
(Theyre tearing me up inside)
Why should i wait
Wait for
A simple system,
mind control
losing your soul in this fight that you started
now you're left broken hearted
shot down off a cloud for being so dumb
you do everything you could for just a little more fun.
But now consequence is coming
no use to start your running
you're a ship out to see and
I'm a storm cloud forming.
Oh my God what have I done
please forgive me
I feel so hated
so aggravated
so frustrated
can't explain it the way that I feel
I feel so numb
preferred to run then face the fact
stabbed your back
I'm a victim slipping through the system.
Listen to me real slow
I know that you're just dying
to know the wrong direction
where ever you were trying to go
the intersection I met you at a quarter to one
to listen to what you like doing for fun.
You had to learn the hard way and I taught you,
you had to take the long road
I never did but I'm all numb preferred to run the face the fact,
I stabbed your back
I understand that did not deserve
that you can't go back can't you see it
I wanted to be right to change a common situation,
that always seems to happen to me.
But then I gave into the way of common desperation,
and dedicated time to find the weakness in me.
The freedom to react and attack it when I'm defensive.
My decision, a solid metal rock wall,
extended inside of every argument created,
by the difference between the way I think,
and the way the world is doing it.
The world can be wrong today for once.
You'll have to be wrong today.
For once, I can't be wrong.
I was wrong before.
Didn't know a lot about what I to do,
about changing my way of thinking.
So I blend instead of being separate.
Things don't always have to go my way.
But, this always being wrong is driving me crazy.
Where's the American Dream guarantee,
if I do it-exactly-your way?
I've seen your followers fall.
You leave them behind.
I'm not letting the same thing happen to me.
One to one pointed at the one,
looking for the meaning in a shotgun blast.
Heading to the things that they left upstairs.
Dated idea with an animal stare.
One to one pointed at the ignorant,
judgemental, think you know everything.
There is to know about everything.
You want to be king without responsibility.
It's circling.
The pack is circling.
One to one pointed at the one,
looking for the meaning in a shotgun blast.
One to one pointed at the ignorant,
Sittin' on your ass all day thinkin' about your hangover
and the party you left your fuckin' keys at
and had to beg for a ride from a stranger that I never met before he acted
so friendly that I had to take the ride
but for some reason he resembled that guy wanted for a robbery
and beatin' on his kid "you remind me of my stepson" he chuckles with a grin.
What was that move that they taught in self-defense
where you block the killer's knife move with some confidence the signal
when you're trapped inside a moving car I wonder if he'll drive real far.
What a day, you should've stayed home shootin' the breeze all day,
you should think next time before you start to play,
I wonder what will happen today.
Rub your eyes from no sleep this week tap your heels home then fall asleep.
Sittin' around looking for a fight kinda' pissed off how I'm turnin'
My life up-side down from insecure insecurities makin' up
My mind through old hypocrisy up and out of harms way down
cause I want to be there here because you want
Me not because you're caught in My stare.
What was that move that they taught in self-defense
where you block the killer's knife move with some confidence the signal
when you're trapped inside a moving car I wonder if he'll drive real far.
What a day, you should've stayed home shootin' the breeze all day,
you should think next time before you start to play,
I wonder what will happen today.
Rub your eyes from no sleep this week tap your heels home then fall asleep,
Funny feeling my guts intuition doesn't know
No bravery could convince you
To more or less say no
Your explanation hasn't gone over yet
But I'll give you one more chance
To open up and just let go
There's no easier way out of this place I'm claiming this lie to you
face to face to face to
That's no way for you to treat me my dear
Someone you chose to lie to all these years
There is no other title that I can find for us
Even though you can believe that this could
Work and bleed and breathe and be for us
Your interpretation of my expectations
Caught up in your picture frame
Have defined my eyes and made me turn up down and inside
There's no easier way out of this place
I'm claiming this lie to you face to face to face to
That's no way for you to treat me my dear
Someone you chose to lie to all these years
It's gonna take a lot to get you to completely
Forgive me for letting you down I'm not exactly what I really was back then
Played along for so long
Then you saw what I really was I was wrong for so long
What do I do with my other type of slum life
So on to you delight
For the rest of the night I'm yours
Whatever you want
To be the best of
The rest, the rest of
As you test her,
As you may.
Pressed against her,
Hoping that you,
Detect and pray.
Closer, getting closer, getting closer.
Across the line first,
And past the edge,
Across the line first,
Split second ahead.
Putting out the flames,
Seeing through the smoke.
Filling up my lungs,
Making me choke.
Staying in line,
Until the best time.
Taking what is mine,
I'm taking what is mine.
Closer, getting closer, getting closer.
Across the line first,
And past the edge,
Across the line first,
Split second ahead.
Don't(?) drives the end.
Ooh, don't live much faster than them.
When is this going to end?
Ooh, feeling the best of the win.
Going til I reach the end.
Going much faster than them.
When is this going to end?
Across the line first.
And that's the end.
Across the line first.
Split second ahead.
Twisted, intricate, obscure and tangled double-edged through
My head leaving
Me mangled incomprehensible questions and words created
from all of the stories you heard these complications are going too far
and show Me exactly who you are.
It should never be this hard.
Mislead into thinking that everything's okay misread
My answers cause all of the hear-say you'll understand
someday soon changed
My direction redefined
My intentions how can you mention the good that we had
when everything else makes
Me mad.
It should never be this hard.
Breakaway runaway hideaway just to get away.
It should never be this hard, don't try and make
I'll take back what is left of what you had barley enough to keep me dead.
Tell me how to make some sense of the the mess you left me with.
You used up every chance with me.
To settle for you won't settle for me.
This need for more has me cold, and shaky.
No more waiting for a reaction face when they hear
about, the trouble that started when you and I met,
and let me remind you I plan to get through,
with or without you.
Tell me how to make some sense of the the mess you left me with.
You used up every chance with me.
To settle for you won't settle for me.
Want verus need.
Don't push me, I have no need.
Buy or sell, those beans are a nuclear falling out, disaster.
That called in the troops even faster then when all the lights went to red
instead of the days when we made eachother.
And we try to make some sense of the the mess you left me with.
You used up every chance with me.
To settle for you won't settle for me.
Later please, doesn't put my mind at ease, pushes me away.
Say what you have to...
And you try to make some sense of the the mess you left me with.
You used up every chance with
me. To settle for you won't settle for me.
Tell me how to make sense of this non-sense, distress.
Won't settle down...
Later please, doesn't put my mind at ease, pushes me away.
Trapped inside
Places i'm starting to hate
Stuck inside
Wasted i fall into place
Watching the world
And waiting for something to change
Do what we have to
To get what we need
From whats left
For people like me
Batterd and bruised
From the chances i take
Its the impossible way that i think
You shouldve been satisfied
You should have been full inside
You could have been happy
Simply with your peace of mind
More than just
More than a thorn in my side
More than just
More than our differece aside
Im choosing sides now
Still waiting
For my peace of mind now
No strings attached
To the
Promises given
To the
Faces and places
Of those that i hate
Its the impossile way that i think
You shouldve been satisfied
You should have been full inside
You could have been happy
Simply with your peace of mind
Heres your share
And my share
You still need
More to fill
Its all
Or nothing at all
You take from me
This is getting old
The way that you speak to me
Never could decide
How you wanted us to be
I never know when your speaking sincerely
Why wont you show
Your intentions towards me
You think you know
The answers to everything
I want to go
My own way this time
And when you show me that
You can be trusted
Then i will show
You truth in your lies
Past all the time we wasted
I saw the end
This wasnt what you said
It would be when i
Heard the words and they began
Past it all
This wasnt what you said
It would be when i got there
Why does it always have to be your way
I tried your way before
Dont want to try it anymore
Why cant you let me do this my way
Im tired of the ends
The means are all pretend
Past all the time we wasted
I saw the end
This wasnt what you said
It would be when i
Heard the words and they began
Past it all
This wasnt what you said
It would be when i got there
And when i got there
They didnt even recognize me
When i got there
In the end
Past all the time we wasted
I saw the end
This wasnt what you said
It would be when i
Heard the words and they began
Past it all
This wasnt what you said
PUNETAAA!!!!!

Hecha pa alla!
No hay razon, razon por tu ignorancia acaba ya deja tu infancia

Strange Days are normal.
Trying to find the words, making my mind up from what you've heard.
Winding down you're just finding what indifference you're having today.
Make your mind up it's never the same.
Sinking down, ceiling climbing,
while you're up to your neck in the same situation and start to complain.
Trying to find the words, making my mind up from what you've heard.
You can't fool me with your smiles.
Seen you treat whom you call your friends,
and you'll never be called that again.
Been on your knees for a while,
searching through broken glass with your hands, can i offer you gloves again?
Trying to find the words, making my mind up from what you've heard.
The way, the time, the chance, a glance,
a second look at your stance on the way the day could
"Just be patient" the best advise I did not take.
"Super stellar first impression" i did not make.
My own insecurities are not as bad as you make them out to be,
and out time is running out so fast.
I move this fast, and i make mistakes for my own sake.
Can't you see that all of your times are wasting while we're wasted?
Tripping over (and over and over)
our own feet when we look too hard, for what's older, older, yes older.
Then the day we got to this world that enough
for me to make a good impression when I'm walking through the door.
I move this fast, and i make mistakes for my own sake.
I'll do what i have to, to be everything you want me to.
Without putting you through all the questions I'd like to mention to you.
No control of
Nothing to hold
Cant be sold by anyone

Its stealing the air you breath

Stop my time from wasting

Youre in my way

What about you
What about me
Having control its everything
Youre in my way
Move Now
What about you
What about me
Losing control is everything
Show me the right way
One more problem. how you've got them. All tied up with a million things to
do. Two more problems. how i've got them. One is someone else. Two is you.
I hate that it had to come to this so fast. How else will we know if we will
last?
Making mountains out of mole hills, taking fountains past them fill. Making
mountains out of mole hills, and making me want to kill.
Every wonder, every question, everything that i'm not so sure is real. Every
funny look, every stop and stare, every doubt in my mind that you still care.
I hate that it came to this so fast. How else could I know if we could last?
Making mountains out of mole hills, taking fountains past them fill. Making
mountains out of mole hills, and making me want to kill.
Making mountains. Taking fountains. Shaking ground with tiny problems.
Co-Created from the way you give direction with affection
Making mountains out of mole hills, taking fountains past them fill. Making
mountains out of mole hills, and making me want to kill.
One more problem.
How you've got them.
All tied up with a million things to do.
Two more problems, how I've got them.
One is someone else.
Two is you.
I hate that it had to come to this so fast.
How else would i know if we would last.
Making mountains out of mole hills, taking fountains past their filf.
Making mountains out of mole hills, and making me want to kill.
Every wonder, every question, every thing that I'm not so sure is real.
Every funny look, every stop and stare,
every doubt in my mind that you still care.
I hate that it had to come to this so fast.
How else would i know if we would last.
Making mountains out of mole hills, taking fountains past their filf.
Making mountains out of mole hills, and making me want to kill.
Making mountain, taking fountains, shaking grounds with tinny problems.
Co-created from the way you give direction with affection.
Making mountains out of mole hills, taking fountains past their filf.
I say plenty
Insufficient
You say any
But not this one
You want me to pick a side
I choose the ones you left behind
All their reasons
Not excuses
Your suggestion
For solution
You want me to pick a side
I choose the ones your left behind
Im on the sidewith the guns
Left with no choice
But to make it alone
Im on the side of the ones
You hear about
You read about
You make us
Their reasons
Not excuses
Your assumption
Retribution
Just think of the way you treat
The freaks that you think you meet
Youre the ones
That are losing your souls
Wearing things
That they tell you are right
Just remember the way you fight
When someone
Starts judging your life
Im on the side with the guns
Left with no choice
But to make it alone
Im on the side of the ones
You hear about
You read about
You make us
We struggle in ways
You missed in your comfortable days
And you say that
Were ready for more
I fight in a place
Crowded with bad memories
And your giving me more
Than ill ever be ready for
Im on the sidewith the guns
Left with no choice
But to make it alone
Im on the side of the ones
You hear about
You read about
You're barely getting by with your half-hearted attempts.
You pass part of the test, and fail the rest.
Because the things you know, you also know so half-heart,
you join mass murder parties cause you hear it's a trend.
That's when all the fun ends. When the funds end.
That's when the people who were your friends turn their backs all the sudden.
Then I have to take a breath for a second.
Before I wreck the impression with my confusing expression.
Because I know the way I do the things I do,
might cause a situation or an excessive reaction from you.
And that might be what I want to do.
Take you.
Try to shake you.
Break you out of your habits.
Can you feel me?
Do you hear me?
Can you look inside and see past the skin this time?
And if I thought you could you wouldn't be here.
If I thought I could I wouldn't be in tears.
It might be a better idea if I hide for a while behind a face with a smile.
Tell wild stories of our glory days.
Make the same mistakes we made yesterday.
But, you still try to feed the obsession with other people's possessions.
Try to dodge all the questions.
Because you know the world treats your kind.
You would last long enough to be a part of a greater design of a better human kind.
My eyes are opening up,
your time is running out to make a choice.
What are you going to do when it's gone?
How do you expect to get on with no voice?
You take what you want from who you need.
You say things you know bring animosity.
You think you'll be a better person in the end.
Con Fuerza Boriqua
Strugglin goin through the motions
Day in day out
Another commotion
Backstabbed don't know how to stop
A friend is only a dollar in a pocket
Won't let you
Chase the dream that I had since I was
Just a little chico in my teens
Now you're gone and I'm doin fine
And you are since you went to
Can you see the tears?
Can you see the pain?
Do you see the hate that I have today?
Can you see the tears?
Can you see the pain?
Do you see the hate that I have?
From demention
To depression
This is the anger we generate
From demention
To depression
This is my anger
It's time for me
To live the dream
And to release my anger
It's time for me
To live the dream
And to release my anger
Strugglin goin through the motions
Day in day out
Another commotion
Backstabbed don't know how to stop
A friend is only a dollar in a pocket
Won't let you
Chase the dream that I had since I was
Just a little chico in my teens
Now you're gone and I'm doin fine
And you are since you went to
Can you see the tears?

This is my anger
It's time for me
To live the dream
And to release my anger
It's time for me
To live the dream
And to release my anger
And whether you or me or him
Ever really thought that I would make it
Never really took another second
To reply to all the letters
Sent all the people asking me
To be president
And whether you or me or him
Ever really thought that I would make it
Never really took another second
To reply to all the letters
Sent all the people asking me
To be president 180 Degree turn
You never learned your lesson
Your mistakes that
Cause and effect the brainiack
Acting like you're a punk 180 Degree turn
You never learned your lesson
Your mistakes that
Cause and effect the brainiack
Acting like you're a pun
Stabbed your back
It's time for me
To live the dream
And to release my anger
It's time for me
To live the dream
Instrumental
Split open your head
And let me pour it in
All the knowledge and feeling
Of these five deadly sins
That your mother would not
Let you see on TV
So you creep to your basement
And lie about being asleep
All alone where the rats colonize
With their tea
As they sip and they watch
You give into the sound
It just takes you and rips
At your soul
This piper is playing and hypnotizing
A funky ass street tempo
The forces are lining
The ticking the timing is off
You're resisting
But it's all for nothing
The piper is playing his song
Can you hear it It's ripping it's gripping
And pulling your spirit
From your inside chest
Your heart it collapses
From the depths, the pits , the gutters, the shits
That make you scream
Scream, scream, scream, scream,
Scream, scream, scream, scream,
Scream, scream, scream, scream
Scream, scream
Line up it's role call
Head is clear
And even though I wrapped you up in butterflies like evenflow
Jeremiah spoke to the masses
And in flash he caught a fist
And broke his glasses
The pipers tune is different
From the boom that you listened to
In your room
Better check your speakers
Their weaker and their trip
Is coming harder
Than a booyacka-booyacka
Coming from your father
Hypnotized, mesmerized, cauterized
With his eyes the suprise is
Start to fizz
Realize that control is his
The pipe is strong
The trip was long
You hit the bong
To concentrate on the song
And before too long
You're under his control
What the fuck?
The children are listening
The temper is ringing
Constantly clinging
To that hydroponic feeling
If you give him the chance
He'll take your mind away
And as the rhythm fades
Play the piper play the piper play
He is everything you ever wanted
He is everything you needed
He can change for any reason
Play the piper play
The piper play
He is everything you ever wanted
He is everything you needed
He can change for any reason
Play the piper play
The piper play
He is everything you ever wanted
He is everything you needed
He can change for any reason
Play the piper play
The piper play
He has your mind in his head
Now you can let go
He's got your time
He is everything you ever wanted
He is everything you needed
He can change for and reason
Play the piper play
The piper play
He has your mind in his head
Now you can let go
He's got your time
Play the piper play
Things havent changed
You havent changed
And I havent changed
Things that you say
You want to change
You havent changed
Youre still the same
The words that you never approve of
The way that you call out my name
The lies that you tell to protect me
The same
Playing in your little games
You try to make me go crazy
Im stronger then i was before
You tried but you failed me
And this time im ready for war
Things havent changed
You havent changed
And I havent changed
Things that you say
You want to change
You havent changed
Youre still the same
The time that we wasted on our fighting
The same
The things that we argue about
Excuses you give about everything
The reasons i give why i shout
And how things could have been better
If i never met you before
You try but your failing me
And this time im ready for war
Things havent changed
You havent changed
And I havent changed
Things that you say
You want to change
They stay the same
Things havent changed
We just stay the same
You havent changed
I havent changed
We havent changed
When will the pages stop turning?
How could there possible be this many?
My fingers are burning from turning,
what feels like a million pages to me.
No,
makes no difference to me.
I'm up to me knees with miles to go.
No way to really know
what's left to find about the character,
lending his life to the shortest ending.
[Chorus]
Is this the end of the story finally coming?
Is this the end of the story finally?
It's a longest way to the shortest ending.
It's a longest way to the shortest ending.
Arguments. Happiness. Lie with a smile. Popularity contests, and miracle miles of traveling. Weather for days. Skies were a blaze.
One thousand degrees even under the shade.
Trying everything just to finish this.
It's taking everything to keep me from giving this all up for a chance to see the beginning and shortest ending.
[Chorus]
No matter how hard I try to deny.
It denies me one hundred times more. I could say everything right. I'm still going to be wrong just like I was before.
Well I'm starting the story again. Understanding the way this will end, will still be an end loose from pretending. We will when we know that we won't. Saying you do when you know that you don't.
[Chorus]
It's a longest way to the shortest ending.
It's a longest way to the shortest ending.
It's a longest way to the shortest ending.
It's a longest way to the shortest ending.
Shortest ending!
Broken glass all around you.
Try to hide but they find you every time.
Even with everything you try to do,
people can still look and see right through you.
Looking like you came from a magazine.
Regular Jockstar/Beauty Queen.
Covered in labels barely able to speak for yourself.
So you look and other people and help yourself.
You have your passport so you can be identified.
In case the most important thing is lost (your life).
Every chance you take, just to be glorified,
is just another link in the chain of your wrecking ball.
[Chorus]
This is the wreckoning that you feel happening.
The wrecking ball destroying it all.
The bullet inside of the smoking gun.
The knife in my back when I try to run.
The rain on the day's that I'm stuck outside.
The one to reveal when I'm trying to hide.
Mr. and Mrs. Popularity and the life of all the parties,
got to be the first to be the bad ones,
get fucked up and have too much fun.
Daddy's not here to hold your hand .
Time to buck-up and be a man.
Nothing was stoping you before.
Why stop now cause you're on the floor?
I'm sure your get your close up,
your fifteen minutes of fame and praise.
You're the talk of the town.
And every chance you take just to be glorified,
is just another brick in the wall that you're bringing down.
[Chorus]
And when you try to end destruction,
of the things that make you function,
you want no interruption.
And all because of all of your selfish assumptions,
I'm "acting out" this way.
You cause the eruption happening inside of me.
The bullet inside of the smoking gun.
The knife in my back when I try to run.
The rain on the day's that I'm stuck outside.
The one to reveal when I'm trying to hide.
Rooms spin like hurricanes
Walls begin to breath
When will this be over
Like it more
Then i should
Its taking over me
When will this be over
Fighting for you
Struggling for you
Waiting for you
What do i do this for
All for the high
Why do i do this why
All for the high
I rummage through this disaster
To find a reward
Why do i do this why
All for the high
Torn in half again
I still feel the same
My head spins like a hurricane
I cant see
Right in front of me
Through the shit inside of me
When will this be over
Fighting for you
Struggling for you
Waiting for you
What do i do this for
All for the high
Why do i do this why
All for the high
I rummage through this disaster
To find a reward
Why do i do this why
All for the high
My head spins
Lost control
When will this be over
My eyes roll
Look inside
When will this be over
What do i do this for
All for the high
Why do i do this why
All for the high
I rummage through this disaster
To find a reward
Why do i do this why
How was I ever so naive
That I could never see
What was in front of me I grew up and you let me down
That's when I realized I didn't need
Your kind around me I'm not letting myself change for you
Your change is my demise I'm not letting myself change for you
Please try and understand
You stole what we gave you for free
I'm taking back all my sins I'm not letting you in
I'm not letting you in I'm not letting you in
I'm not letting you in
How did you ever get passed
My senses of sight, smell, taste, feel
And what endeavors and gestured blessings
Made you believe that you could
Get this over on me
But wait you didn't think
About the pressure
Understand understand
The lecture take heed
You're walking on bad land
You better check yourself
Before your wreck yourself man I'm not second place
To a paycheck man
You silly rabbit turning tricks I give you no respect
I don't understand the joy
You get from pretending
That you are the man
That you are the man I see the struggles never ending
On my time you're wasting
And you're spending
On rewriting the original silly criminal
Prepare for the lesson
You wish you learned
Back in school you fool
Well here's the golden rule
You stool I sit
Well you ain't biting this
My friend the end is
What I put to this
The question everybody wanders
This is your kid
This is your kid
Ha you wish
Well you ain't biting this
You can't wonder why
Damn we're too fly for you
The bottom of my shoe
These are my words
That you heard
You came up with this I never heard
Something so obvious I thought we were close
Now I understand that we
Were only an influence
To you
To you
To you To you
To you
Not a teacher to you
Not a preacher to you
Not a speaker to you
Not a friend to you
Not no
Not no
Not no
Not no
Not no brother to you
Not no other to you
Not explaining this to your mother
BOO thought that you
Would be true
But I explained to you that
Second chance is through
Second chance is through
Shame on you
My senses they cut through you
Wise up because I'm fed you better back up.
You got a bad attitude comin' up from inside you better watch your mouth
you got plenty to hide you come across so heavy you're a buck-o-five
better rest your fist and try to use your mind
I'm not punkin' out
I'm just movin' up say your comments loud
but try to back 'em up keep your ass far away and stay with yourself alone
in a cage aggravate someone else.
Wise up because I'm fed you better back up.
You in your baggy jeans with your baggy lip you 'bout to lose
all your shit with the butt of my fist you better use your mind fast
and bring your pressure down quick
'cause you feather weight fuckin' in this heavyweight clique'
you know karate got a shiny gun in your hand got a razor blade hat
with a knife in the brim I ask you all the questions
Making choices and hoping that they're all right.
Hating waiting for something to make this worth the waiting...
and what are you waiting for?
Any advice?
Intervention of a mental melt down.
Too late to help, it's out of my hands now.
Do you want to do what you want to, and not tell me how?
Explanations are more than I'm asking for.
Just suggestions, not unfeeling metaphors.
No recaps all over again to remember tonight?
And make this worth our fight?
Making choices and hoping that they're all right.
Hating waiting for something to make this worth the waiting...
and what are you waiting for?
Any advice?
we are losing all sight of the big picture, and there is no light on upstairs.
there's nobody home and I've unplugged the phone.
Misdirected aggression from an obvious lack of attention.
Would you care if I mention the fact that im losing my mind?
And I'm not even looking this time.
Making choices and hoping that they're all right.
Hating waiting for something to make this worth the waiting...
and what are you waiting for?
Any advice?
...Could you spare for a friend, so i don't do it twice and fall into a trend,
and make this happy story end?
There's a crack in the ice.
Making choices and hoping that they're all right.
Hating waiting for something to make this worth the waiting...
and what are you waiting for?
Any advice?
Intervention of a mental melt down.
Too late to help, it's out of my hands now.
My disposition is in a position for all to see.
Regret-less for how it feels.
I got a bullet with a name on it.
Bullet with a name.
Because the cause for all, the pause you think you see
is really concentration on the steel.
I got a bullet with a name on it.
Bullet with a name.
See everybody watching and passing judgement
on every little move and decision I make.
How can I be an individual with the weight of the world
with 8 other planets to take?
And with everything happening;
gunshots clappin' and people all
runnin' in every direction
with their hands up prayin' for the drama to end,
I got my hand out lookin' for some money to spend.
[Chorus]
The price tags on the things i need are getting bigger by the day
I got a bullet with a name on it.
Bullet with a name.
The way I work so hard for things they just take away from me.
I got a bullet with a name on it.
Bullet with a name.
I'm workin' harder than a hundred black mules down in Mexico.
No water, no clouds, no cover,
from the hotter than Hell no dinner bell,
empty oven again from another bad opinion.
I mean who doesn't want the cars,
money, fame, attention, bars, honeys,
games, attention, stars?
Funny how we say we don't need it
then turn around and try to achieve it.
[Chorus]
Everything that they say about me.
And everything that they make me need,
are nothing when they're taking everything away from me.
Everyone trying to make it harder
and everyone saying I would never be.
You're nothing but a name on the bullet that I aim...
You forget I got this far without you
I'm not the person that you think I am
The life I want to lead needs no approval
From somone who will never understand
Youre forgetting my broken bones
Forgetting im not alone
Hard to stand alone
When this feels like home
In this crowd
Just because you lived a little longer
Doesnt mean your will is any stronger
You forget that all these scars remember
Everytime you say I need to change
Youre forgetting my broken bones
Forgetting im not alone
Hard to stand alone
When this feels like home
In this crowd
The decisions that we make
To stand alone
Youre forgetting my broken bones
Forgetting im not alone
Hard to stand alone
When this feels like home
I'm gettin'
I'm gettin'
I'm gettin'
I'm gettin' over
and pushing past all the bullshit
and getting right to the root
of what the problem really is
The reasons for the misunderstandings
the emergency landings
on a plane headed for home
It's where the heart was living
till it was without feeling
and started revealing itself to everyone else
by just packing up, moving out
saying it could do without
a barely able, unstable, running off at the mouth
So I'm tearing this and everything else between
me and what I wanna do, to pieces
I'm tearing you and everything else between
me and you to memory
I'm stronger now even after everything that you did
Still alive and kicking
I'm better now, I'm awake
Now I can see, everything in front of me (now)
I'm stronger now even after everything that you did
Still alive and kicking
I'm better now, I'm awake
Now I can see, everything in front of me (now)
Now if you would've waited one second
you wouldn't feel so second
The second I put you first
it made the situation worse
'cause you wanna take advantage and control of the things
that I manage to keep under control
like, my happiness, my family, and all of my music
You had it all
You chose to abuse it
So I'm tearing this and everything else between
me and what I wanna do, to pieces
I'm tearing you and everything else between
me and you to memory
I'm stronger now even after everything that you did
Still alive and kicking
I'm better now, I'm awake
Now I can see, everything in front of me (now)
I'm stronger now even after everything that you did
Still alive and kicking
I'm better now, I'm awake
Now I can see, everything in front of me (now)
What's wrong with me?
You want to know what's wrong with me?
I could ask you the exact same thing
What's wrong with me?
You want to know what's wrong with me?
I could ask you the exact same thing
I have my opinion and you have yours
You don't have to like mine, 'cause I don't like yours
I have my opinion and you have yours
You don't have to like mine, 'cause I don't like yours
What's wrong with you?
I want to know whats wrong with you
and why this doesn't make sense to you
What's wrong with you?
I want to know whats wrong with you
and why this doesn't make sense to you
I'm stronger now even after everything that you did
Still alive and kicking
I'm better now, I'm awake
Now I can see, everything in front of me (now)
I'm stronger now even after everything that you did
Still alive and kick (Woah)
I'm better now, I'm awake
Now I can see, everything in front of me (now)
Now I see everything
in front of me (now)
Now I see everything
Instrumental
Going around in circles again.
Pedal to floor, back in the seat, purpose and will verus modern machine.
Passing the slow, defeating the weak, all with the tar on the street,
and the weight of my feet the sweat on my face.
Wanting first place for than you can understand.
Going around in circles again.
Photo finish race.
Rear veiw stare chase.
Satisfaction only when I finish at the end.
If i follow all the rules, promise that i'll win?
Driven so confused that im going around in circles again.
Going around in circles again.
Holding on by a thread.
Cut me loose so I can contend.
Hoping for something more then second place, first place or more.
Where will I be when I get to the end?
Doesn't matter what place i begin three hundred sixty-one degree's and then.
What is the emergency?
Why are we moving so fast?
The questions you ask, they're too much for me.
If you don't know the answers,
well I don't think we can last.
The things you want to know about me,
are the things I already want you to know.
Or, things that I want you to find on your own.
How can that be wrong?
Yo soy lo que soy. (I am what I am)
No me voy. (I do not go away)
Buscandome. (looking for myself)
Should I explain what I'm trying to say?
Okay, here's how I feel in the nicest way.
Fuck you and everything that you believe,
you're supposed to know.
You deserve to know nothing.
Cause nothing's what you show!
It doesn't matter if I'm wrong or if I'm right,
it only matters in the long run.
It doesn't matter how long the fight.
I'm fighting till I make this right for every one.
Only thing that matters is when we're done.
Even with a diagram of
My DNA I leave scientists baffled 'till the end of the day they try to pick apart
My life-style and how I survive making money for the boss
while I make nickel and dime, and being on time takin' a punch and doin'
My best, not ever hearing good job
and staying upset it doesn't take to much to find the sediments they left behind.
Put down the book put up the walls I'm never givin' up at all
what's yours is yours, what's
Mine is yours and I'll mature.
Endure.
Not even with ten men holding
Me back not even with a devious planned attack contemplating
every move that I play willing the bad things all away keeping
the worry-free happiness philosophy that's what I let them see
when they try to look at Me.
Don't want out.
These issues arise everyday,
though you try to turn your head and walk away,
though it leaves you feeling insecure you're gonna feel your life mature.
...The things we need and the things we strive for that feeling again comes so deep and warm.
I taste your breath just as sweet as sugar a simple reminder of how we BURN. BURN...
I got that funky feelin I feel it all around.
I got that funky feelin do you hear that techno sound.
I got that funky feelin I feel it all around.
I got that funky feelin do you hear that techno sound.
It's coming quick you'd best not turn your back cause the facts represent we got the skills that they lack the MDMA up in my veins making me insane warm squiggles up and down my brain,
brain, brain, brain, brain.
I got that funky feelin I feel it all around.
I got that funky feelin do you hear that techno sound.
I got that funky feelin I feel it all around.
I got that funky feelin do you hear that techno sound.
You got a simple reputation you take a look and you will see the time is now the now is here you feel that ecstacy and this is how we how we burn the tables turn and your lessons are learned you find yourself another way to spend your double stacked day this is how we, how we, how we...
This is how we burn.
I won't be neglected. I won't be denied.
The pleasure of your kisses. The pleasure of your smile.
You take for granted And I'll always be here.
Well just because I love you doesn't mean I won't disappear.
Now I arise and I see the sunshine but I still I'm all right I'm breathing just fine I look the same to you but I see through a haze on these doublestacked days.
Like a watchdog standing at the fence.
Just begging for the next person to pass and test his patience.
Hammer back, cocked ready to go off.
Looking for any volunteers that want to crawl and cough.
Stand's up front when it's time to take a maybe situation,
to a definate, shake it up battle me,
you're going to see everything go red.
You bother me with your Grand Inquisition.
I won't and I shouldn't have to.
Why should I explain myself to you?
You're getting too close to the animal.
The one you're going to turn into a cannibal.
I'm not holding anything back.
So, you better be holding if I start to attack.
Body all scarred from the battles before.
But, I call them "monetary marks of war."
Battle started with or with out any kind of warning.
I knew that it was coming, so I did nothing about it.
Take it easy your going too far.
You don't want to keep this car in the red.
You don't want to start what you just can't end,
by just pretending that you're not going to bend.
Instead, you're looking right into the eyes of a savage.
Ready to pillage, loot, and ravage.
You've never seen anything like this.
Gotta get from the point of pressure,
to the point of no return, to turn me inside out.
Brother please, tell the others, please.
There are others that don't know about these...
Standing, responses.
Failing the answers.
Screaming so foreign.
Excessive reactions.
Bouncing off walls,
where the pictures hang of the last ones that made them fall before.
Taking it all with a grain of salt, and a bitter sweet memory of these...
Standing, responses.
Failing the answers.
Screaming so foreign.
Excessive reaction.
Insane and bottled in, explain the state I'm in.
You're electric pulse can't ail my sins, explain the state I'm in.
Not so lost, not so fast, not reacting act so...
Not the boss, not the past, not reacting act so...
Gotta get me from the point of pressure,
to the point of no return to turn me inside out.
I know my answers don't meet your satisfaction,
Now, theres a crack on the inside, and i start to play.
Now, my fingers stuck, over stood my stay.
Now, Now, Now, my world is bent from this development.
Moving faster, then a storm's rain after the plaster split, where my fingers fit.
Sure disaster and growing faster then my skin can take.
At least that's what they say.
Now, theres a crack on the inside, and i start to play.
Now, my fingers stuck, over stood my stay.
Now, Now, Now, my world is bent from this development.
Crowded cluster.
Do you trust her to take the weight, or make the change?
Abandoned labor.
Do yourself a favor and do for you, not what you're used to.
Now, theres a crack on the inside, and i start to play.
Now, my fingers stuck, over stood my stay.
Now, Now, Now, my world is bent from this development.
No more sanity.
I can't stay here, too many bad choices.
No more space to breathe.
I can't stay here, too many damn voices.
Now, theres a crack on the inside, and i start to play.
Now, my fingers stuck, over stood my stay.
Taking the world on,
taking the world on by yourself.
When will you learn?
When will you learn all by yourself?
Runaway, it's the only way for you to stay alive.
I'm not moving if you paid me.
That's the shit that's going to make me curl up inside and die.
That's not the way to be talking, if you want to stay alive.
That's a chance that I'm taking.
It's the only way to make me satisfied with my life.
Code Red.
Calling for Code Red.
Don't let the enemy in.
His solution is not the only end.
Code Red.
Calling for Code Red.
Taking the world on,
taking the world on by yourself.
When will you learn the world is on your side?
Taking the world on,
taking the world on by yourself.
It's a battle you finally won,
when you saw the struggle shared by everyone.
Just like you... I am... just like you, I am.
That's impossible, look at where you're from.
Look at all the battles I lost.
Look at all the battles I should have won.
I understand... I do... I understand like you're suposed to.
That's impossible, how are you suposed to?
There's a million ways, second chances,
wrong impressions, second glances.
Taking the world on,
taking the world on by yourself.
When will you learn the world is on your side?
Taking the world on,
taking the world on by yourself.
It's a battle you finally won,
when you saw the struggle shared by everyone.
I'm calling for...
Taking the world on,
...The things we need and the things we strive
for that feeling again comes so deep and warm.
I taste your breath just as sweet as sugar a simple reminder of how we BURN.
BURN... I got that funky feelin I feel it all around.
I got that funky feelin do you hear that techno sound.
I got that funky feelin I feel it all around.
I got that funky feelin do you hear that techno sound.
It's coming quick you'd best not turn your back
cause the facts represent we got the skills that they lack the MDMA
up in my veins making me insane warm squiggles up and down my brain,
brain, brain, brain, brain.
I got that funky feelin I feel it all around.
I got that funky feelin do you hear that techno sound.
I got that funky feelin I feel it all around.
I got that funky feelin do you hear that techno sound.
You got a simple reputation you take a look
and you will see the time is now the now is here you feel
that ecstacy and this is how we how we burn the tables turn
and your lessons are learned you find yourself another way to spend
your double stacked day this is how we, how we, how we...
This is how we burn. I won't be neglected.
I won't be denied.
The pleasure of your kisses.
The pleasure of your smile.
You take for granted
And I'll always be here.
Well just because I love you doesn't mean I won't disappear.
Now I arise and I see the sunshine but I still I'm all right
I'm breathing just fine I look the same to you
I would have dont it anyway
Were gonna free you all
And make you all one of us(bullshit)
Were gonna find everyone
And make them pay for this(bullshit)
Go ahead have some more
It wont hurt you(bullshit)
I know it hurt before
But i swear this time it wont
Even knowing what i know now
I would have dont it anyway
Black and blue and red from you still
I would have done it anyway
If you close your eyes
It will all go away(bullshit)
Keep your head up man
Tomarrows a better day(bullshit)
Bad things never happen
To good people(bullshit)
We treat everyone here
Like they were an equal
Even knowing what i know now
I would have dont it anyway
Black and blue and red from you still
I would have done it anyway
Well do better next time
If you give another chance(bullshit)
I understand you now
And i know exactly what you want(bullshit)
Try this for now
Youll like it just as much(bullshit)
Do everything we say
Things havent changed
You havent changed
And I havent changed
Things that you say
You want to change
You havent changed
Youre still the same
The words that you never approve of
The way that you call out my name
The lies that you tell to protect me
The same
Playing in your little games
You try to make me go crazy
Im stronger then i was before
You tried but you failed me
And this time im ready for war
Things havent changed
You havent changed
And I havent changed
Things that you say
You want to change
You havent changed
Youre still the same
The time that we wasted on our fighting
The same
The things that we argue about
Excuses you give about everything
The reasons i give why i shout
And how things could have been better
If i never met you before
You try but your failing me
And this time im ready for war
Things havent changed
You havent changed
And I havent changed
Things that you say
You want to change
They stay the same
Things havent changed
We just stay the same
You havent changed
I havent changed
We havent changed
Were just the same
Even with a diagram of
My DNA I leave scientists baffled 'till the end of the day they try to pick apart
My life-style and how I survive making money for the boss
while I make nickel and dime, and being on time takin' a punch and doin'
My best, not ever hearing good job
and staying upset it doesn't take to much to find the sediments they left behind.
Put down the book put up the walls I'm never givin' up at all
what's yours is yours, what's
Mine is yours and I'll mature.
Endure.
Not even with ten men holding
Me back not even with a devious planned attack contemplating
every move that I play willing the bad things all away keeping
the worry-free happiness philosophy that's what I let them see
when they try to look at Me.
Don't want out.
These issues arise everyday,
though you try to turn your head and walk away,
though it leaves you feeling insecure you're gonna feel your life mature.
Endure
A simple system,
mind control
losing your soul in this fight that you started
now you're left broken hearted
shot down off a cloud for being so dumb
you do everything you could for just a little more fun.
But now consequence is coming
no use to start your running
you're a ship out to see and
I'm a storm cloud forming.
Oh my God what have I done
please forgive me
I feel so hated
so aggravated
so frustrated
can't explain it the way that I feel
I feel so numb
preferred to run then face the fact
stabbed your back
I'm a victim slipping through the system.
Listen to me real slow
I know that you're just dying
to know the wrong direction
where ever you were trying to go
the intersection I met you at a quarter to one
to listen to what you like doing for fun.
You had to learn the hard way and I taught you,
you had to take the long road
I never did but I'm all numb preferred to run the face the fact,
I stabbed your back
I understand that did not deserve
that you can't go back can't you see it
God what have I done please forgive me...
I didn't ask you to explain yourself to me.
The fact you feel you have to is enough evidence,
to see right through all the bullshit,
and the stories you create.
I didn't ask to be a game for you to play with.
Didn't ask for anything in return that wouldn't,
be asked by anyone else.
Respect is something I demand.
Worked hard enough to understand.
People say what you want to hear,
if something comes out of it for them.
Even some of the people you're calling your friends,
are waiting for the second they don't have to pretend.
What I expect from you is straight forward no frills,
no lies unless they kill.
I don't want to die from a truth that you never told.
A book that you never closed.
Read the rest and come back
when you've learned what you're supposed to.
I expect the world, cause I give it in return.
And if you know me well enough you know I burn bridges,
with flaky muthafuckers and stool pigeons.
They have their own agenda,
and the people that they burn
will eventually see everything crystal.
Then fire like an automatic pistol.
They didn't ask you to choose the way you did.
All your wrong words, wrong looks,
judgments passed, closed books, bad reactions.
No apologetic actions took, by either stuborn side.
So you return to your lonely life.
Didn't ask to be the one.
The one to make you see.
You chose me.
What I do makes the worst of you.
And a good situation gone bad from the start:
a classification that slowy tears us apart.
Forget about polite, hurry up and fight.
Your words are just lying there helpless.
Hurry up and
fight. And get inside.
We've started, while you wait for nothing.
Where did our calm conversations go?
Why don't we continue this show?
I don't want to relax, or lower my voice.
it's my choice, and i proudly choose to hide.
Forget about polite, hurry up and fight.
Your words are just lying there helpless.
Hurry up and fight. And get inside.
We've started, while you wait for nothing.
These walls are so thin, I can hear every sin.
No confession, for obsessions that they covet, and squeeze in your arms.
Cause your hiding, while confiding is going too far past the point of
harmless charm.
Forget about polite, hurry up and fight.
Your words are just lying there helpless.
Hurry up and fight.
And get inside.
We've started, while you wait for nothing.
While you wait for nothing...
Forget about polite!
Mayday mayday
I'm going down in flames
Now its finally too late
Didn't think it would end this way
Steel bones
Concrete skin
Rooted in stone below
Its your turn
Come on in
And see what gonna happen to you
Drowning in the wake
The wake of you and me
If you threw me a line
I'd grab hold and pull you out to sea
Elbows
Fist to face
Neck in brace
Chalk line trace
Police chase me
All because you chose to face me, face me
There' nothing you can say to me you haven't said before
It's in one ear and out the other I can't take anymore
Its my time to ruin this cause thats what I do best
It's in one ear and out the other you're just like all the rest
Really could use a hand
I'm sinking fast in quicksand
Words they have no meaning
And I'm screaming at the ceiling
Eyes up
Hands follow
There's no tomorrow
I can't see
Any meaning
In anything you're saying
There' nothing you can say to me you haven't said before
It's in one ear and out the other I can't take anymore
Its my time to ruin this cause thats what I do best
It's in one ear and out the other you're just like all the rest
You're gonna see exactly what I can do to you
You're gonna feel the pain I'm bringing.
Bringing to you
There' nothing you can say to me you haven't said before
It's in one ear and out the other I can't take anymore
Its my time to ruin this cause thats what I do best
It's in one ear and out the other you're just like all the rest
I just got back from hell
Skin blistered bruised up. Couldn't you tell?
Eyes still burning because
I've been a witness to this fucked up thing the world's become
Dollar sign motives in every command
The south still starving from past hurricanes
Kids taking pills just to help them fit in
Newspaper wars on television
I could care less about...
I could care less about it
Wake up world.
Cut loose criminals roaming the streets
Offering little kids candy to eat
While mommy watches tv on the edge of her couch
With daddy right beside her stuffin his fuckin mouth!
Money hungry assholes making decisions
For poor people without their permission
God help us all.
We need the answers to the questions
We never get answered at home.
I could care less about...
I could care less about it
Wake up world.
I gotta go before i lose my mind
I cant explain it or name it this time
You bring the lightning and the thunder that I drop
And keep complaining that the rain won't stop
I dont wanna waste the life you got
Fixing all the that just dont work
Working for the thing that I dont want
Chasing all the things that i dont want
Feels like i don't belong
Like someone's singing the wrong song
Who says when it's over (it's over, it's over)
Who is the one in control am i the one in control?
Who says when it's over (it's over, it's over)
You could see that i was losing touch
I couldnt say it but you were too much
You needed something that i never really had and keep complaining that i always get mad
I dont wanna be the one you want
Doing all the things that piss you off
Fighting for life that i dont want
Chasing what I know i just dont want
Feels like i don't belong
Like someone's singing the wrong song
Who says when it's over (it's over, it's over)
Who is the one in control am i the one in control?
Who says when it's over (it's over, it's over)
Whos the one in control
Am i the one in control of it all
Whos the one in control
Am i the one in control of it all
Am i the one in control of it all
Feels like i don't belong
Like someone's singing the wrong song
Who says when it's over (it's over, it's over)
Who is the one in control am i the one in control?
Who says when it's over (it's over, it's over)
Scenes are changing and you collect the sand on our souls.
You can make it okay if you pave your own way.
Bear down and reach the higher ground.
Your momentum has swayed from all the shit in the world today.
Lose track fight to get it back.
Climb aboard, strap yourself in,
and wait for the ride of life to begin even though you were the first
to go you're the last to stay.
Long roads lead the shortest ways.
The people the same the trip is what you're waiting for.
You're about to take a mindtrip
So get your ticket stamped
Pack your thoughts on up
And set yourself
To rant and rave I'll pave the way
And clear a path
For all the aftermath
That's gonna happen
When these verses hit
Your bony ass Bon Voyage I'll check you later
Now check your reason
Was it all for pleasing
Or was it all misleading
Or do you need a guide
Brother check your side I'm gonna take you on a joyride
Trip inside your mind
Trip inside your mind
Trip inside your mind
Trip inside your mind
Feels good and separate yourself
It feels real good I think I kicked in another 12 hours
I'll be back again the vitamin C Is making me C
The visual dreams
All the colors and the schemes
The visual dreams
The light from the moon
Screams shuttering
Laughing to breathe
Separate yourself I'm gonna take you on a mindtrip
I'm gonna take you on a mindtrip I'm gonna take you on a
I'm gonna take you on a I'm gonna take you on a
Separate yourself
Separate yourself
This neverending story is ending finally
The scheme of things
The ways of life
You step into the pit
Of the heart, the mind, body, and soul
These griffin roles
You'll soon be playing them alone Jester jokes told again
And then you say we're friends
Well I'm laughing and coughing
Set me off and check the character of this cartoon
Delusions you are seeing
Are coming real real real soon
Trip again
You're my only friend I wanna trip I wanna trip again
Trip again
You're my only friend I wanna trip I wanna trip again
I wanna trip again I wanna trip again I'm gonna trip again
Trip again trip again trip again I wanna trip again
Trip again trip again trip again trip again
Trip again trip again trip again trip again
Separate yourself
Separate yourself
I'm gonna take you on a mindtrip I'm gonna take you on a mindtrip
Separate yourself
Separate yourself
Separate yourself
Separate yourself
Separate yourself
Separate yourself
Separate yourself
Separate yourself
Look inside
You're gonna find me there
I collapse from working than
The average work-a-holic
I intend then reaching father than
Infinity
To get exactly what
i fight so hard and labor for
And crack the surface of
What i intend to be
Not for you
Youre too hard to please
How do i meet
Your impossible needs
How can i reach
With you pulling on me
With your
Impossible needs
How can i reach
With you pulling on me
I snap but still hang on
By the thread that you throw me
One hand to just hang on
And the other to catch me
One too many ticks
Past the second
That you were so happy
I cant go back around again
Not for you
Youre too hard to please
How do i meet
Your impossible needs
How can i reach
With you pulling on me
With your
Impossible needs
How can i reach
With you pulling on me
In a round-about way
Im better than this
But you keep me
From taking a chance
On what i believe i am
I can feel it coming
In the air tonight
Oh lord
And I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life
Oh lord, oh lord
Well when you told me
You were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face
Before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well I was there
And I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off that grin
I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies
I can feel it coming
In the air tonight
Oh lord
And I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life
Oh lord, oh lord
Well I remember
I remember
Don't worry
How could I ever forget?
It's the first time
The last time
We ever met
But I know the reason why
You keep me silenced up
No you don't see me
'Cause the hurt doesn't show
But the pain still rolls
No stranger to you and me
I can feel it coming
In the air tonight
Oh lord
And I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life
Oh lord
I can feel it
In the air tonight
Oh lord, oh lord
And I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life
Oh lord, oh lord
I can feel it coming
In the air tonight
Oh lord
And I've been waiting for this moment
For all my life
Forearms can't cover up lies in hiding.
Counting makes the only sound, while I wait for hours to be found.
So much for making up rules while we're playing.
Who cares about the rules anyway?
They're for mindless fools and child's play.
This time, yeah this time.
It's my turn, it's not your turn.
Counting helps the hiding, but what I seek I'm not finding.
Ready or not.
Why should it make sense?
Why are you so unspontaneous?
And why does your way sound the same as yesterday.
So I'll shift and bit again.
Draw a mark on your skin that turns you the color pink.
What exactly will they think of you?
This time, yeah this time.
It's my turn, it's not your turn.
Counting helps the hiding, but what I seek I'm not finding.
Ready or not.
Why are you jealous, over bearing, verzealous?
What for? Is it the lost memory of all those games with me?
All those games you played on me...
Counting helps the hiding, but what I seek I'm not finding.
...Go... It's time
To do a quick rewind
And find another line
And bring it back to get
The juices flowing You
Found infection
With injection
Tell me lies
Time is moving faster
You were the last one
To reach inside
And grab my soul and kill it
Now you realize
What you've done
Now you realize
What you've done
Your time has come
Go...
Pick it up pick it up pick it up
Heart beats
Pains inside
You wonder why
You can't breathe
You're about to see
Your maker's eyes
That breath you took
Was terminal.
Now you realize
What you've done
Now you realize
What you've done
Your time has come
Go... Pick it up pick it up pick it up...
Here we go
Oh girl
Take my hand I understand, I understand
You got it right there
Oooh girl it's the right time I feel you're taste you're feelin so fine
So fine Soft white skin
The air the color of sunsets
Kiss your neck
The tone is all set
You tell another lie
You're flyer than the girl I had before
Then I kiss your bottom lip and
Have you screamin for more
Close the door
And hope that nobody's home
So what if doing something real bad is the only way to get it
So what if its a bad idea, later I'll regret it.
I'll take whatever comes with doing what I want when I want it
And hope whatever comes doesn't know I sting like a hornet..
I'm about to do something that
I don't wanna do
Ready to do anything
To make this clear to you
You better get your hands off
Before you get them both cut off
Make the wrong move
And get your lights put out
Get your hands off
Before you get them both cut off
Make the wrong move
And get your lights put out
I know what your thinking, I know what you're sayin
I know that you're hoping that I am, but I ain't playin
I'll do what I gotta do just to keep me movin
And hope whatever does what its gonna wont see me comin..
You ain't takin the only thing
That I earned to keep
You ain't takin the only thing
Keeping me asleep
You better get your hands off
Before you get them both cut off
Make the wrong move
And get your lights put out
Get your hands off
Before you get them both cut off
Make the wrong move
And get your lights put out
Get your hands off
Before you lose them both for good
Hands off
Get your hands off
Before you lose them both for good
You better get your hands off
Before you get them both cut off
Make the wrong move
And get your lights put out
Get your hands off
Before you get them both cut off
Make the wrong move
And get your lights put out
When I drop you, I'm gonna stomp you
Pick you up again and then drop you
Lift my foot again and then stomp you
Then grind
And when I stomp you
That'll be the end of you
That'll be it
That'll be the end of you
Time to jump ship
Cause I'm a psycho and I'm crazy
And If you're too close you're gonna get hit
Everybody down, everybody down
I'm coming around, coming around, coming around
Everybody down, everybody down
I need every single person right now on the ground
Everybody down, everybody down
I'm coming around, coming around, coming around
Everybody down, everybody down
I need every single person right now on the ground
Everybody down, everybody down
I'm coming around, coming around, coming around
Everybody down, everybody down
I need every single person right now on the ground
Now that I got you
Right where I want you
I'm gonna twist you up and tie you up and knot you
Break you, so that it takes you
6 months to recuperate you
That's the end of you
That's it
That's the end of you
Time to jump ship
Cause I'm a psycho and I'm crazy
And If you're too close you're gonna get hit
Everybody down, everybody down
I'm coming around, coming around, coming around
Everybody down, everybody down
I need every single person right now on the ground
Everybody down, everybody down
I'm coming around, coming around, coming around
Everybody down, everybody down

You've got to change your evil ways, baby
Before I stop lovin' you.
You've got to change, baby
And every word that I say is true.
You've got a bad habit, water under the train.
You've got to change your evil ways.
I can't keep myself shut up
For one more day.

This is a march of war
The last chance to settle the score
The battle lines well defined
A fight that we both fought before
What do you want from me?
You couldn't give me what I need
I said this a thousand times before
Now watch me walk out the door
I'll never be the person you want me to be
What do you want from me?
What do you need from me?
I'll never see the reason that you always seem to see
What do you need from me?
I'll never be the person you want me to be
What do you want from me?
What do you need from me?
I'll never be the person you want me to be
This is the march of war
A fight that we fought before
You can't make a square peg fit
In a hole filled with solid brick
I've made up my mind
I'm leaving this time
It doesn't matter what you think anymore
I've already walked out the door
I'll never be the person you want me to be
What do you want from me?
What do you need from me?
I'll never see the reason that you always seem to see
What do you need from me?
I'll never be the person you want me to be
What do you want from me?
What do you need from me?
I'll never be the person you want me to be
[Verse 1]
Whoa you better blow the whistle, ring your bell
Train a little harder than you can you ever will
You need to think fast, this is the person here you see will be your last
Get a doctor or a priest, not an animal Im a beast
You need to start runnin
Youre standin on the tracks and the train is commin
[Chorus]
Nowhere to go, you need
You need a miracle, something better save you
Before something bad happens to you
Whoa you need a miracle, Nothings gonna save you
and Ill scream it from the top of the world
[Verse 2]
I can see your scared startin to show
Not the kind of person thats turnin' away from you
You better get some help, cuz theres nothing you can do, do to help yourself
Got news if you think your bad, all your other fellas make me laugh
Grabbin you with both of my hands, takin you home and tearin you in half
[Chorus]
Whatcha gonna do when its just me and you
Whatcha gonna do, Whatcha gonna do
[X4]
I said it once, I'll say it again if i really want.
Saying everything I wanted if I really want.
I'll say it once, I'll say it twice, I'll say it right into your face.
So take a step back, I've got alot more I gotta say.
You're dumb as door stoppers sweet, your dumb as rocks go, dumb as door stoppers and you really need to stop.
Knock you over with a statement that will shock.
Your mother shoulda left you in the balls of your pops.
Chorus:
I said it, I said it, I'm saying that I said it.
I admit it, I don't care, I don't care, I don't regret it.
You needed to hear it, and I needed to say it,I'm not playing I just said it, ooh I don't regret it.
I said it, I said it, I'm saying that I said it.
I admit it, I don't care, I don't care, I don't regret it.
You needed to hear it, and I needed to say it, I'm not playing anymore, you started a fuckin war.
I didn't like you from the start, if you disappear tomorrow, the world and I will throw a party,
there will be no sorrow, be no tears, be no horror, no fear about tomorrow,
people lined up laying flowers, atop your artificial body, crying artificial boos, your artificially an asshole times 2.
Your not so special, there's a hundred thousand yous, in every single city that you think belongs to you.
Chorus:
I said it, I said it, I'm saying that I said it.
I admit it, I don't care, I don't care, I don't regret it.
You needed to hear it, and I needed to say it,I'm not playing I just said it, ooh I don't regret it.
I said it, I said it, I'm saying that I said it.
I admit it, I don't care, I don't care, I don't regret it.
You needed to hear it, and I needed to say it, I'm not playing anymore, you started a fuckin war.
You wanna settle for this alone!
You wanna settle for this alone!
You wanna settle for this, wanna settle for this, wanna settle for this alone!
You wanna settle for this, wanna settle for this, wanna settle for this alone!
You wanna settle for this alone!
Artificial body, crying artificial boos, your artificially an asshole times 2.
Your not so special, there's a hundred thousand yous, in every single city that you think belongs to you.
Chorus:
I said it, I said it, I'm saying that I said it.
I admit it, I don't care, I don't care, I don't regret it.
You needed to hear it, and I needed to say it,I'm not playing I just said it, ooh I don't regret it.
I said it, I said it, I'm saying that I said it.
I admit it, I don't care, I don't care, I don't regret it.
You needed to hear it, and I needed to say it, I'm not playing anymore, you started a fuckin war.
I said it, I said it, I'm saying that I said it.
I admit it, I don't care, I don't care, I don't regret it.
If your lost,
And you need to find some escape
Or some peace of mind,
Call my name
When you need a friend
I'll be there, I'll be there
If your dreams
Are drenched in sweat
You can't sleep
There's too much in your head
Call my name
Any type of day,
I'll be there, I'll be there
When you can't carry on,
When the road's way too long
Know that your not alone
I can carry you home
If you hold on tonight
I'll be there (Da, da, da, da....)
If you give,
Till you've got nothing left,
Wanted more,
But you end up with less,
All your friends,
Have turned away
But I'll be there, I'll be there
When you can't carry on,
When the road's way too long
Know that you're not alone
I can carry you home
If you hold on tonight
If you hold on tonight
The weight of the world is too much to take
Pulling you down like a tidal wave
I can hold you, I will hold you
Here and now
If your lost and you need to find some escape,
Or some peace in mind, yeah
When you can't carry on,
When the road's way too long
Know that you're not alone
I can carry you home
If you hold on tonight
When you can't carry on
When the road's way too long
Know that you're not alone,
I can carry you home
If you hold on tonight,
I'll be there
When the world seems wrong
When you've come undone
No, you're not alone
I'll be there for you
When the world seems wrong
When you've come undone
No, you're not alone
Payoff, payoff
Payoff, payoff,
This is the payoff, payoff,
Now that we're on top, we won't stop (Won't stop!),
Doing what we do is a dream come true
We're never gonna give it up
We're never gonna stop, this is the payoff,
(Can't stop, can't stop, won't stop)
Yeah it's the payoff
(Won't stop, no we can't stop)
Remember when you got your first drum set?
And how we used to practise in the basement,
When I was singing like Billie Joe (Don't wanna be an American Idiot)
Summer time came with a concert
McDonalds wouldn't let me book it off work
So I called in sick in the night of the show (I'm not feeling too good man),
The crowd was screaming encore
This is the payoff, payoff,
Now that were on top, we won't stop (Won't stop!)
Doing what we do is a dream come true
We're never gonna give it up
We're never gonna stop
It's the payoff
(Can't stop, can't stop, won't stop)
Yeah the payoff
(Won't stop, no we can't stop)
Soon enough we went and got a tour bus,
All the girls were screaming just to, touch us
They all wanted to take us home (We love you!)
Now everywhere we look, we see our faces
But we know that will never let that change us
Til Oprah lets us play on her show (Play on her, play on her show),
The crowd will scream out encore
This is the payoff, payoff,
Now that were on top we won't stop (Won't stop!)
Doing what we do is a dream come true
We're never gonna give it up
We're never gonna stop
It's the payoff, payoff,
We only get one shot, one shot (One shot!)
Gotta take that chance and make it last
We're never gonna give it up,
We're never gonna stop
It's the payoff
We will, rock you
We're gonna scream it out with the crowd tonight,
We will, rock you
Everybody singing every word from every line
We will, rock you (Rock you)
We just (We just) got to,
This is everythng we've ever dreamed of,
Remembering getting drunk around the campfire?
Writing stupid songs about becoming rockstars
We never ever thought it would go this far,
This is the payoff, payoff,
Now that were on top we won't stop (Won't stop!)
Doing what we do is a dream come true
We're never gonna give it up
We're never gonna stop
This is the payoff, payoff,
Now that we're on top, we won't stop (Won't stop!)
Gotta take that chance,
To make it last,
We're never gonna give it up,
We're never gonna stop
This is the payoff
The things we need and the things we strive
For that feeling again comes so deep and warm
I taste your breath just as sweet as the sugar
A simple reminder of how we burn
I got that funky feelin', I feel it all around
I got that funky feelin', do you hear that techno sound?
I got that funky feelin', I feel it all around
I got that funky feelin', do you hear that techno sound?
It's coming quick you'd best not turn your back
'Cause the facts represent we got the skills that they lack the MDMA
Up in my veins making me insane warm squiggles
Up and down my brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain, brain
I got that funky feelin', I feel it all around
I got that funky feelin', do you hear that techno sound?
I got that funky feelin', I feel it all around
I got that funky feelin', do you hear that techno sound?
I got that funky feelin' I feel it all around
I got that funky feelin', do you hear that techno sound?
I got that funky feelin' I feel it all around
I got that funky feelin', do you hear that techno sound?
You got a simple reputation, you take a look and you'll see
The time is now and the now is here, you feel that ecstasy
And this is how we, how we burn the tables turn
And your lessons are all learned, you find yourself another way
To spend your double stacked day and this is how we
How we burn?
How we burn?
How we?
And this is how we burn
To whom it may concern, I thought about life, learned about the burn
I never knew what it was or if I could continue because
It changed what is all you asked and formed a picture that past
In my mind and out of my head, I wake up sweating in me
Now I arise and I see the sunshine and I still I'm all right
I'm breathing just fine
I look the same to you but I see through a haze on these
Double stacked days
I see through a haze, yeah on these double stacked days
How we burn?
How we burn?
How we?
Now your nightmare comes to life.
Dragged you down below
Down to the devils show
To be his guest forever
Peace of mind is less than never
Hate to twist your mind
But God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed
Burn the world your last endeavor
Flesh is burning
You can smell it in the air
Cause men like you have such an easy soul to
steal(steal)
So stand in line while they ink numbers in your head
Your now a slave until the end of time here
Nothing stops the madness turning, haunting, yearning
pull the trigger
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here
Yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare
While your nightmare comes to life
Can't wake up in sweat
Cause it ain't over yet
Still dancing with your demons
Victim of your own creation
Beyond the will to fight
Where all that's wrong is right
Where hate don't need a reason
Loathing self-assassination
You've been lied to
Just to rape you of your sight
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel
(feel)
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while you slowly go insane they tell ya
"Given with the best intentions, help you with your
complications"
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here
Yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate
Is looking so clear
Yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare
(Break)
(Maniacal laughter)
Fight (Fight!). not to fail (fail!)
Not to fall (fall!)
Or you'll end up like the others
Die (Die!), die again (die!)
Drenched in sin (sin!)
With no respect for another
Down (Down!), feel the fire (fire!)
Feel the hate (hate!)
Your pain is what we desire
Lost (Lost!), hit the wall (wall!)
Watch you crawl (crawl!)
Such a replaceable liar
And I know your hear their voices
Calling from above
And I know they may seem real
These signals of love
But our life's made up of choices
Some without appeal
They took for granted your soul
And it's ours now to steal
As your nightmare comes to life
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate
Is looking so clear
Yeah
Oooooooh
Took my life just to see it
Left everything just to be it
Things that you'll never know
I will survive on my own
Try every piece of the puzzle
Crawl through every puddle
I'm still dry as a bone
From the heat of my soul
And I can't wait till they feel the pain
It comes with charging in
On the frontlines
fighting for my life
On the frontlines
knowing tomorrow I may not be alive
On the frontlines
fighting for my life
On the frontlines
I'm fighting for your life
Standing tall for your freedom
Because I believe in this
Choosing right over wrong
This is more then a song
Underneath all the reasons
The one thing I believe in
Just to keep you alive
I'm always there by your side
And I can't wait till they feel the pain
It comes with charging in
Whoa,
On the frontlines
fighting for my life
On the frontlines
knowing tomorrow I may not be alive
On the frontlines
fighting for my life
On the frontlines ooh
I'm fighting for your life
(frontlines)
On the frontlines
fighting for my life
(frontlines)
on the frontlines
knowing tomorrow I may not be alive
(frontlines)
On the frontlines
fighting for my life
(frontlines)
On the fronlines
Dial in the frequency.
The whole world is listening.
From the wild west, far east,
North pole, south pole, and everywhere in between.
The way it takes over me.
Like the power of a lightning bolt.
I let it own me move me, make me feel like i'm out of control.
Taking Over.. It's electricity taking over me.
Taking over.. It's electricity taking over me.
Taking over me, It's electicity taking over me.
It's electricity taking over me.
A second of complicity for all the years of the memories.
Every scar from every city, every bar, every stage, and everything in between.
Every getaway story that I know.
Every bad word that I let go.
All the amps and speakers.
Bleachers full of people sending me out of control.
Taking over...It's electricity taking over me.
Taking over...It's electricity taking over me.
Taking over me, It's electricity taking over me.
It's electricity taking over me.
You're only as strong as you become.
Taking over...It's electricity taking over me.
taking over...It's electricity taking over me.
Taking over me, It's electricity taking over me.

If we only knew the truth about it
Maybe we could work our way around it
Then maybe we could ignore that the shore
Used to be the edge
Explore more
Than our block or the next
City over
With nothing on our shoulders
But the clothes on our backs
And you leave us hear with nothing
Expecting no attack
With soilders on the way
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
Maybe all the things i do would make sense just for once
Maybe we could work our way around it
If we only knew the truth about it
You think its crazy to think theres
Nothing to hide
Whenever theres a proposition
For me to decide on
Theres a million suggestions
With a million intentions
With the people getting richer
Off the people getting poorer
Its due for being over
Theres justice on the way
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
Maybe all the things i do would make sense just for once
Maybe we could work our way around it
If we only knew the truth about it
If we only knew the truth about what really goes on
And what you said
Behind closed doors
On private Lines
More than just a lie or two about what really goes and what you said
More than just the right thing to do the time has just passed us up instead
Maybe we could work our way around it
Split open your head
And let me pour it in
All the knowledge and feeling
Of these five deadly sins
That your mother would not
Let you see on TV
So you creep to your basement
And lie about being asleep
All alone where the rats colonize
With their tea
As they sip and they watch
You give into the sound
It just takes you and rips
At your soul
This piper is playing and hypnotizing
A funky ass street tempo
The forces are lining
The ticking the timing is off
You're resisting
But it's all for nothing
The piper is playing his song
Can you hear it It's ripping it's gripping
And pulling your spirit
From your inside chest
Your heart it collapses
From the depths, the pits , the gutters, the shits
That make you scream
Scream, scream, scream, scream,
Scream, scream, scream, scream,
Scream, scream, scream, scream
Scream, scream
Line up it's role call
Head is clear
And even though I wrapped you up in butterflies like evenflow
Jeremiah spoke to the masses
And in flash he caught a fist
And broke his glasses
The pipers tune is different
From the boom that you listened to
In your room
Better check your speakers
Their weaker and their trip
Is coming harder
Than a booyacka-booyacka
Coming from your father
Hypnotized, mesmerized, cauterized
With his eyes the suprise is
Start to fizz
Realize that control is his
The pipe is strong
The trip was long
You hit the bong
To concentrate on the song
And before too long
You're under his control
What the fuck?
The children are listening
The temper is ringing
Constantly clinging
To that hydroponic feeling
If you give him the chance
He'll take your mind away
And as the rhythm fades
Play the piper play the piper play
He is everything you ever wanted
He is everything you needed
He can change for any reason
Play the piper play
The piper play
He is everything you ever wanted
He is everything you needed
He can change for any reason
Play the piper play
The piper play
He is everything you ever wanted
He is everything you needed
He can change for any reason
Play the piper play
The piper play
He has your mind in his head
Now you can let go
He's got your time
He is everything you ever wanted
He is everything you needed
He can change for and reason
Play the piper play
The piper play
He has your mind in his head
Now you can let go
He's got your time
Gotta make the list of what is best
gotta make the fist and beat against
have to leave an impression
do you have a suggestion?
i'm all out of good ideas
the ones you have always put into your ears
with all you care to share
how did i end up here?
your signs are pointing to nowhere
that's exactly where i won't go
your signs are pointing to nowhere
and no one that i know
will ask all you care to show me
care to show me
gotta make the list of what is best
gotta make the fist and beat against
have to make this perfectly clear
i'm not waiting for one million years
for us in general
you make the chemical
situation i put us in
unfamiliar in foreign land
your signs are pointing to nowhere
that's exactly where i won't go
your signs are pointed to nowhere
and no one that i know
will ask all you care to show me
how would you like me
where would you like me to be
and could you make me worry
just a little more
the way you look at me confuses me
even with you next to me
your signs are pointed to nowhere
that's exactly where i won't go
your signs are pointing to nowhere
and no one that i know
will ask all that you care to show me
your signs
your signs (care to show me)
your signs
care to show me
care to show me
I'm gonna make it rain on you.
I'm gonna bring the pain to you.
Put you through a nightmare that you'll never wanna sleep again.
And when you open, you open your eyes
I hope you've said your last goodbyes.
And all your hoping to see my demise
Is only causing me to rise
You can try hard, hard as you can
You're never gonna bring me down
You're gonna fight but i'm gonna win
You're never gonna bring me down
You really think you have a chance
Against the army in my head
Fighting like you took my children
And say I'll never see them again
You can't understand how serious
I take the way you look at me
My intention isn't to discuss this
It's to see if you can bleed
You can try hard, hard as you can
You're never gonna bring me down
You're gonna fight but I'm gonna win
You're never gonna bring me down
I'm a pitbull backed in the corner again
Beaten to the ground and left for dead
Fighting his way to the top again
Money i got i bought and spent
The friends i had they came and went
One day you just might understand
This is a fight i plan to bring again and again
Do everything you have to do
To change my mind
Even when you see me shadow you
You play the blind
I'm the one thats losing face here
And changing ways
There isn't anything you can say to me
To make me change my mind
44 story 40 mile long brick wall
Covered in 9 ft of bulletproof steel
21 guns in case shit gets real
31 reason this month alone
For you to avoid picking up the phone
Monday, tuesday, when the day comes
Try to decide hide or run again
Do everything you have to do
To change my mind
Even when you see me shadow you
You play the blind
I'm the one thats losing face here
And changing ways
There isn't anything you can say to me
To make me change my mind
Change why don't you?
Why can't you see this through my eyes
I see through your disguise
You're making me that thing that I despise
Do everything you have to do
To change my mind
Even when you see me shadow you
You play the blind
I'm the one thats losing face here
And changing ways
There isn't anything you can say to me
To make me change my mind this time...
I can't control myself
You deserve to feel the way I do
(found a way, found a way)
What if you were called a freak
Until you were 22
(found a way, found a way)
What would it do to you?
Oh, what would it do to you?
With every door inside you locked
And all the windows boarded up
There's always a way out
So I had to make you stop
Live my life and shut you up
There's always a way out
Did I make this clear to you
You deserve to fight the way I've had to
What if they took your pride, respect, your life, your blood, your sweat, your tears,
Your lies, your fears, your wife, your kids, your mind, you did!
With every door inside you locked
And all the windows boarded up
There's always a way out
So I had to make you stop
Live my life and shut you up
There's always a way out
I found a way out
With every door inside you locked
And all the windows boarded up
There's always a way out
So I had to make you stop
Live my life and shut you up
There's always a way out
With every window and every door
My hands and knees on the floor
With every door and every lock
And every window boarded up
Just shuts you up, shuts you up
Just shuts you up
My head is drowning in a sea of animosity the waves of confusion are crashing over top of me
I'm just trying to survive doing everything I have to just to stay alive
I try to breath but the waters keep on choking me
I try to swim but my arms and legs are killing me
I'm just trying to survive doing everything I have to just to stay alive
I just need sometime so I can breathe
Call it what you want to.. still have to do this for me
I just need sometime so I can breath call it what you want to.. still have to do this for me
I'm over it i'm over it
I'm giving up on you I'm over it i'm over it
I'm just trying to survive
But everything I do looks so hopeless on the outside
Things I said just to try to make sense
Things I didn't to protect me from the consequence
I'm just trying to survive doing everything I have to, to stay alive this time
I just need sometime so I can breathe
Call it what yo want to.. still have to do this for me
I just need sometime so I can breathe call it what you want to.. still have to do this for me
