Lost

I have nothing-everything's taken from me
Force what's inside out on those that try to hide
No give all take -this will bend but never break
I see I hate all the love you try and fake

[refrain:]
These are the things and the ways that will blind you All alone inside so
you follow
On your knees do you spit or you swallow ?
Without you I'm...Lost

3 things ring clear Truth be told is what you fear
So is it true indifference has spoiled you ?
How can you fed- ignorance in bliss is real ?
Soon you'll be gone and the rest will carry on

[refrain]

See the ways I've
Gone and I've tried
Never dismissed
With only one wish
To be seen
Having to be heard
Cause it's never been the same
Since you ignored all this
Life passed you by having seen the well is dry
All in due time-feeding off the compromise
Fuck that-fuck you
Careful what you wish is true
Who will fall last ?
Having seen the failure pass

[refrain]

Paper Tiger

I have seen whats left for all the rest of you
And its not what you think it will be
For the gift and the curse of whats been shown to you
I cant believe what I feel it is taking
Never give, never bend - its all a lie to you
And all you do is seem to remind me
Of all the times and the ways I would have died for you
And this is all the thanks that you'll show me...

If you would show
The light for me
The things i'd known
That now id see

This is - not the same not now, never, no not again
When the dreams and the truth came colliding
And the same can be said for all the rest of them
See the strong and the weak divided
Yet i feel alive
For all the pain I have
And all you do is seem to remind me
Of all of the times and the ways I would have died for you
And this is all of the thanks that you'll show me

If you would show
The light for me
The things i'd known
That now id see

If you would show
The light for me
The things i'd known
That now id see

Energy as i feel it calling
Cannot see through the cloud thats forming
Blinding as it passes before my eyes
Looking for the thign thats calling
Now I see that its coming after
Now I see that its coming after...me

If you would show
The light for me
The things i'd known
That now id see

Buckles

Pain-is deserved
For there's one thing you've forgotten to
Say- to acknowledge
That you've taken what's been given
Away-for the last time
And there will be NO forgiveness
Today-nor ever
As the walls close in around you... ... within these walls

[refrain:]
I spend
All my life
searching for something
And it starts to seem like it's a lie
The more you run, the less your chances
Are you scared to quit? Scared to die ?

Because it's all my life [refrain]

NO
Shame- you're feeling
As the choices made reveal what
Remains- forever
Soon you start to lose your sense of
Control- As its fading
As you sense that it is slipping
Away like old time
Now it all comes back to haunt you... ...within these walls

[refrain (leave out last part (scared to die)]

Scared to be ALONE
You want and need to be ALONE
Now as you strive to be ALONE
Now I'm afraid to be ALONE
But that goes away...
Within these walls I spend
Within these walls I spend

[refrain x2]

With Deepest Regrets

Let's call this "everything' what is seems
A violent distortion of ALL my dreams
And still it burns inside of me
Just to spite the cold that seems to feed
When everything and nothing become the same
And everyone's at fault but no one's to blame
Question is- will you remain the same ?
Or will you half step you life away ?

[refrain:]
Now I'm lost in this without all the rest- it Seems so close but so far away
Fall in line or be what's forgotten
NEVER NOTHING
Hurts as much to say
And though I try
so why do you give this away
So you will know
this love I call a life
Then you will say
so why do you give this away ?
So you will know this love I call alive

Defining Definitions of what "should' be
One part honest and two parts mean
Believing nothing- seeing is all I need
Judging for myself what will come for me
when all of it is here it moves so slow
Planting all the seeds of doubt that grow
But I wonder will I know
when these fields of hate take hold

[refrain]

But with all things involving the dream
The push
pull is not what it seems
The love
hate of what it all means
Has taken the life out of me
and I know that it's so hard to find
And then even harder to hide
but it's yours to decide

Neither Here Nor Missed

If I had been the one like this
And now you were neither here nor missed
it's the same thing it's that same hurt every day
And without it, there's no stress I need to face

[refrain:]
When you lie
And you fucking seal and fucking cheat and lie
No it's NOT the same and don't you ever try
Don't know WHAT its like to fucking BE alive
All the time...

The times have not been kind I see
And so you will take it out on me
Never ending is the way it starts to seem
And your actions are what's killing all my dreams

[refrain]

It's a chance I must take
And it's my mistake to make
Through what's real and what is fake
I now see the rules I have to break
If I had been the one like this
and now you were neither her nor missed
It's the same thing
It's that same hurt every day
And without it, there's no stress I know I'll face
when you lie It's a chance I must take
and it's my mistake to make
Though what's real and what is fake
I now see the rules I have to break

The Perfect Enemy

First off- dismiss
All of the lies- what brought you to this ?
In what you feel what you need how do you exist
When there's far too many problems to list
As you watch your future fleeting falling further away
In what you feel what you need everything you say
Every minute every second every single day
Second-guessing choosing which path you will pave...it's not right

[refrain:]
And I swear I'd give it all
But it's never enough
And when this is said and done
Did you want it as much ?
But you knew what went around will come back to you
But it makes no difference cause its through...cause I'm through with you!

Give up- give in
It's like the limits that your life's been lived in
And all around you it's the same that it's ever been
But you'll never see that cause it doesn't quite sink it
That where the future's headed you will walk it alone
Gone are the dreams and the plans you are on your own
Left with nothing everything that you've been shown
Has been forgotten for the promise of a life unknown...so not right

[refrain]

Everything you want it to be I'll do that
Blinded by the light you see I feel that
Running from the truth it brings I see that
Never knowing what it means We share that
Running from it trying to hide Don't do that
Looking for a way not to mind Don't do that
Feeling no ones on your side Don't say that
Slowly lose your mind...

[refrain]

Living Witness

Preaching fear of future disaster
As I wonder what you truly know
Never needing justification
Never needing anything at all
watching as your dynasty crumbles
Descending darkness takes away the light
Fading further than all had expected
Sinking as I feel I am inside

[refrain:]
Seize everything and go
It's not that having but the want
Is all that you know
Now the move is just to
Seize everything and go
Its not the having but the want is all that you know
You know ?

Bringing chaos with all that's uncertain
This boat of lies will surely start to sink
Under the weight of such oppression
Missing out on what I feel is right
Living proof and bearing witness
Casualties almost too much to take
No more hope and no more passion
Looking for a sign of life is all

[refrain]

Here I lie
Alone inside
More than need
More fuel for greed
Move just to seize everything and go
It's not that having but the want
Is all that you know
Now the move is just to

[refrain]

One Handed Knife Fight

It always begins the same and then it ends again
It's everywhere but the silence deafens me
But that's about to change when
Nothing is there and still I feel it follow me There is no chance I fear it
seems so hopeless

[refrain:]
I like to see that
You give and take back
As I still bleed from the knife in my back
Lines have been drawn
who lost who won ? When it's all over what side were you on ?
Now you decide what side whose side are you on ?
Now you decide what side whose side are you on ?

You wanted this life
you've gotten this life
Nothing before and nothing again you realize
will let you tolerate the
Shit to which it seems you tend to gravitate
While taking this for granted
Never a want and never a care for anyone
why is it hard to see it's all or nothing ?

[refrain]

Whose side... I feel it forming closer
Never was the one to want to walk the fine line
The way I saw it was all in due time
But the constant harassment, believing to no end
Is what got the best of me
The best of me... I feel it forming closer
You wanted this life
You've gotten this life
You wanted this life
You deserve this

As Thick As Thieves

Now has come the time
Indifference born because of lies
Now no matter what you find
This is the end of all the lines
and when its taken all away
What will you do or will you say
That can erase all the pain

[refrain:]
So you can start to rebuild again-focus
In your life do you lead or follow ?
What you feel is it joy or sorrow ?
Taking pleasure in others pain
As it's calling out your name
And though I want to hide
When it finds a way
As the pressure burns from the inside...
And though I want to hide
When it finds a way
As the pressure burns from the inside...

You'll find when all is said and done
Will you have lost or have you won ?
and did you fight or did you run ?
Now

[refrain]

Now as the dreams come and go before my eyes
I see the strength and weight of resolve
For all the lying the truth shall remain with overwhelming force
The same as it ever was...

And though I want to hide
When it finds a way
As the pressure burns from the inside... [x2]

200 Years

[refrain:]
I'm of the opinion
That it's all or nothing- when the chance comes Will you be there ?
Never surrender/ will you give up will you give in when it all falls away ?
Your life has been to do this for this
and I feel that's stronger than NOTHING
NOTHING
all the same, when you're 200 years forgotten
will you rise above them all ?
I've been the one forgotten
When all the plans had failed
I've been the one uncertain
when all the rest had bailed
You've wondered for the last time
If I am what they say
The rest will come and go I
Will be the one that
Stays! Stays! Stays! [X2]

[Second verse variation at ending :]
The rest will come and go I/ Will be the one that
200 years forgotten
will you rise above them all ?
200 years forgotten
will you have suffered the fall ?

No Reason


The actions misleading
The words have no meaning
and leave it further still its hopeless
and pointless
and unlike all the rest
its something I don't mind and I remember falling victim again
and I...I'm walking in circles
on pins and on needles
and giving it all away unwilling
ungrateful/ and nervous
can you tell ?
The laughter starts to fade and I remember falling victim again
and I feel the pain won't let me forget
and I cannot let this get in my head
and I... the last chance
one more try
final straws
and goodbyes
the laughter starts to fade
