Walkin tall you stand up all alone
With hand and fist I stand up for my own The only - thing you're gonna do is fall So watch your shit you think you own it all (not knowing I) got my grip on you (it's time to show me) What's up inside you that makes you click for Hate - you'll never find a way to stop me What makes you click for hate You left me with no choice in comin (watch how I blow through you) I'll take the blame that's all you have to give So keep your shame and hide it from the Ones you lied to go wipe your face and start to crawl And if you get up I'll be there and you'll (start falling) (I) got my grip on you (why don't you show me) What's up inside you that makes you click for Hate (watch how I blow through you) You can't stop me (I will never fall) You show me Nothing at all (nothing at all) I got my grip on you (look on the inside) Blame is all you have to give (you never told me) What's up inside you that makes you click for hate 02. Clueless
Scared to look ahead
Instead I fold my arms waiting The trains arriving with the goodies I'm entitled to All along I never felt I got what I deserved Oh what a shame (why me why me) I never take a thing for granted I'll never be a hypocrite (what would you know) Fly, watch your fuckin sunset I can't remember when I ever heard you say Thank you for everything you gave I'm so thankful (hang on) to your fallen sunset Don't you see I'm talking can't you wait until I'm done Hold on a second here's another one you haven't heard You think you're owed the world well look at me I'm owed it too (your feelin sorry for yourself once again) I never take a thing for granted I'll never be a hypocrite (can't stand to hear you) Always takin things for granted Your such a hypocrite (what would you know) Fly, watch your fuckin sunset I can't remember when I ever heard you say Thank you for everything you gave I'm so thankful (fly) watch your fuckin sunset Come away with me I'll show you the way to happiness Then is when you'll see The peace that'll put your mind to rest Come with me come with me Ease your bad memories You made your choice Your so fucked up go Fly, watch your fuckin sunset I can't remember when I ever heard you say Thank you for everything you gave I'm so thankful (hang on) to your fuckin sunset (fly) 03. Driven
(stop the man)
From endin up with all the chips so he can't (promise him an only chance) To have the freedom that's been taken from me (you - can - try - to - lift - your - head - no) You fucked up with me now live with the truth Find a reason to lie (try) Seems like it hasn't been long - I've given (so much how could you hide) You're sick with all the guilt you're never - forgiven (you try to wash it away - wash it away) (ask again) why all the dreams I had Are now left broken (punished for a wounded past) Afraid to wake and find reality breathin (why - has - life - been - taken - from - me) I fucked up and now I live with the truth With no reason to lie (I) Feel like it hasn't been long - I'm driven (to keep myself alive) You're sick with all the guilty you're never - forgiven (you'll never wash it away - wash it away) (How can you live with yourself) 04. Feed
I erased you
From my every waking memory I replaced you With a vision that you - won't see Pity is a four letter word And so is quit (and so is left but I'm) Right where you wanted me Feed from the inside Out of bitter sympathy You want me wrong but I'm right May I remind you It doesn't take much time to call Can I respect you If a man was never there at all Pity is a four letter word And so is quit (and so is left but I'm) [CHORUS (Repeat)] I replaced you with a vision that you - can't see (Right where you wanted me) Feed me from the inside (Out of bitter sympathy) You want me wrong but I'm 05. Suffer
Slip and give a fake
Let you feel a little stronger My eyes wake You think I'm rollin over You wonder how I feel now that your under You can't breathe can't hold it any longer (I'll) I'll make you (suffer) Fear is your only reason You never thought that you'd See me in another season Now I feel the need to make you (suffer) Now you see the face of the one that took you over You can't believe how it ended up you stumble I'll never let you have a chance now you wonder You can't breathe (can't hold it any longer) Fear is your only reason You never thought that you'd See me in another season Now I feel the need to make you (suffer) Fear is your only reason You never thought that you'd See me in another season Now I feel the need to make you (take it) (think what you want I've always seen The shade' of your color scheme I cut through your bullshit talk I stomp on your fucked up walk) (think what you want I always knew) Fear is your only reason You never thought that you'd See me in another season Now I feel the need to make you suffer Fear is your only reason You never thought that you'd See me in another season Now I feel the need to make you (suffer) 06. Beg To Differ
Slow down Slow down
I lived a life with no regrets till you came around (your lost I'm found) You had a hold on me But now it's slippin away You used me Never would I thought you'd try to Lie and deceive me I'm sure you thought I'd be easy (you had a chance but now there's nothing That you can call your own) Why does it feel like I have been the only one Who stopped and swam (Up the river) If everything you said to me was a lie then I really think (that I beg to differ) No time I'm gone You had your chance now let me show you the way around (your loss mine now) I let you call it once You'll never do it again You fooled me Once and then you should have figured Now there's just one space That you can fill but it's empty (you'll never find a place that you can call your own now) Why does it feel like I have been the only one Who stopped and swam (Up the river) If everything you said to me was a lie then I really think (that I beg to differ) I'll never understand I'll never understand I'll never understand (I don't fuckin understand why) You used me Never would I thought you'd try to lie and deceive me I'm sure you thought I'd be easy Why does it feel like I have been the only one Who stopped and swam (Up the river) If everything you said to me was a lie then I really think (that I beg to differ) I'm gone 07. Under
Fallin' down, under the cracks and now I cannot make a sound
Forgive me if I ask for help I'm, Crawling out, of the bottom where my every thought My every thought is consuming Gimmie some excuses (I need to know) If I was under - could I see myself on the floor? If I should trip inside my mind Would I be under control of it all? (gimmie time - gimme time - gimmie) What you think will help me My teeth chatterin with every thought I need some prayers to be answered (I - believe) I'll be choking on my mind soon Why won't you help me? (one more time I expect to get shit) Gimmie some excuses (you don't give a fuck) If I was under - could I see myself on the floor? If I should trip inside my mind Would I be under control of it all? (Help me) (Help me) If I was under - could I see myself on the floor? If I should trip inside my mind Would I be under control of it all? Control of it all: (Help me) (I under) 08. Story Of Your Life
(express) what you think it is I wanna hear
(only - time) will tell if you will ever see (it my way) I can bring you back if you can handle some (rounhouse) kicks from your conscience Sit back there's more to come Can't you see it's not what you can it's (the story of your life - walkin through it blind) Never see the answers Always expecting something (the story of your life) All the questions point to you (respect) something that I'll never give to you (you'll never learn) until you come to grips with me (you're not the only) one who breathes the air here For all to share (fucked up) choke if you think I'm gonna take this lyin down Step back slowly - there's no help for you here (cause you're the only) One who can get you through this its CHORUS (Repeat) something you just don't understand (no respect) (rejected) (no acceptance) (justice) 09. Confessions Of Hatred
Impossible to reason with the thoughts in mind
To direct to forget about my pastimes I assure you of one thing This is something you'll never forget In time I'm sure you'll understand That the sound of the crack The slap of my hand was only intended for one thing The one thing I never had Palms sweaty - thoughts dry Hand fed by a broken mind Hands shak'n - don't cry it'll all be over And then you'll have the chance to see the hole inside The painted picture of a wounded mind I can never escape this (you helped me create this hate) (my - undying - addiction) How were you the last to know (you - brought - this - on - yourself) Now you're the next in line to see All that I've become (confessions of hatred) Responsible for bringing out my darkest side I tried to hide what I feel but it's my time To inflict all the damage Some indescribable pain Heart beating, last cry Anticipating what I have in mind Lick my lips an approach you (with undeniable fucking hate) (my - undying - addiction) How were you the last to know (you - brought - this - on - yourself) Now you're the next in line to see All that I've become (confessions of hatred) One day I'll become whole again Till then I'll just remember I thought you understood being misunderstood How wrong was I to think you ever would? One day I'll become whole again, whole again (my undying addiction) I never thought you'd be the last to know (you brought this all on yourself now) You will be the next in line to see All that I've become Victim till your last breath All the hope is gone (confessions of hatred) (I'll show you pain) 10. Aggression
Sickening the things that I see
Can't stop my mind from slowly wandering Dream'n again I think you're With me but there is where the thinking ends Sleep time, no longer Looks like, it's over Took your wrist and cut it open And now it seems I'm (throwing you over the edge) We had a gift no one had You never thought I'd be (cutting you open again) Sorry the pain seems endless Lay still, I'll soon be done with you Till then you're left to deal with torture I'm sure in time you've gotten use to it Constant, controller Your life, is over (I'm takin pride in my work as you bleed) Took your wrist and cut it open And now it seems I'm (throwing you over the edge) We had a gift no one had You never thought I'd be (cutting you open again) I'm left to deal with my conscience Forgive me now I have to finish the shit I started Not what I wanted Took your wrist and cut it open And now it seems I'm (throwing you over the edge) We had a gift no one had You never thought I'd be (cutting you open again) Took your wrist and cut it open And now it seems I'm (throwing you over the edge) We had a gift no one had You never thought I'd be (cutting you open again) 11. Burn
(rescue me) from this mistake I'm in
Who knows the path I'll land on (i must be dreamin) in the end nothing but solitary moments (comin down on me) Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me So I can see again, so I can live again Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me So I can see again, so I can live again (wash it away, release me) (never free) I don't know what I want but I know (i don't want this) a sleep of content I'm here Again and always (intent on believ'n) Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me So I can see again, so I can live again I pray the day will come when you will see What you took from me, From where it all began, the way I used to be Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me So I can see again, so I can live again I pray the day will come when you will see What you took from me, From where it all began, the way I used to be (wash it away - release me) (i can't take this anymore ) I lied to myself, remembering the things said Things you said to me, no answer for help Empty promises were all I heard, never meant to be Destroy me, control me, don't hold me, release me from your hands Give me back the life you took and: Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me So I can see again, so I can live again I pray the day will come when you will see What you took from me, From where it all began, the way I used to be Wash away the colors of the shame that you gave to me So I can see again, so I can live again I pray the day will come when you will see What you took from me, From where it all began, the way I used to be I often wonder how it came to this again I often wonder why it had to end I often wonder how it came to this again I often wonder why it had to end Forgive you just the same I often wonder how it came to this again Never meant to be I often wonder why it had to end Forgive you all the same I often wonder how it came to this again Never meant to be I often wonder why it had to end Because of what you took from me 12.
