Life's so unfair, you thought
Then turned on your TV Life's so unfair you sobbed Then picked up the keys You lock your castle door behind you To go for a ride Your shiny car roars as you think Of what you've been denied No one understands your mind no one ever tried No one has a clue of what you are inside And I lie But I believe myself And the truth hurts more than anything else Drowning in self pity killing time It helps me to write the words To think about the grime And if you piss me off Please don't apologize My anger drives conviction as I proclaim these silly lies If you don't believe me Just read between the lines No one has a clue of what's behind these eyes And I lie |

John takes a seat so he can wind his watch
Not working anymore but it's so good to touch It's the only solid evidence of what he's done and seen It helps him to remember his past life was not a dream It used to tell the time when he was young But time means nothing now He has a clear view of the sun John stopped me on the street today He didn't have that much to say I said I had to get to work but he begged me to stay There was a look in his eyes I'd never seen before I couldn't walk away I knew I wouldn't see him anymore He bummed a smoke looked off into space awhile Then he looked into my eyes and unleashed a fleeting Smile Dennis it's so good to see you You have no idea Just how bad it's getting on the street I try to hide away But they find me every day And I'm so tired of the heat Yesterday I heard the news They sent me a letter Said it was suicide But I know better |

You took my closest friends
Split my family I gave up everything I had Except your memory but I know Someone will hold your hand tonight You won't remember me tonight [Chorus:] I wish I could forget so easily Someone will hold your hand tonight Someone will sleep right by your side All I know is it's not me I miss your piercing glare I miss your fearless touch All the little things I never thought would mean so much And after all this time I thought we would forgive I guess there is no turning back You have your life to liveI'm here all by myself Remembering that you once said that You would always be here wait and see Someone will hold your hand tonight You won't remember me tonight [Chorus] |

It's funny how a little truth can put things in perspective
Usually, I try to hide from all of life's un-pleasantries Like corruption, lies, and users Try to ignore all the abusers But sometimes truth just slaps me in the face And I can't hide Try to deny deception, but now I see the other side I can't hide Try to regain my innocence, but something's changed inside Funny how perceptions change when you know secret history Suddenly, you see right past the thin veil of diplomacy Like the smiles that invite glare at you Like they're filled with spite The warm handshakes just seem so out of place And I can't hide Every person has a dark side; please, don't show me yours I don't really think I want to know you can't be trusted They say the truth will set you free But they don't say how deep the cut will be Trust dies and paranoia takes its place And I can't hide |

Is there something you should tell me?
Is there something I should know? I guess I thought that you were happy But your eyes tell me Was the attention all that you needed Did we miss your silent cries Is it too late to try Who do you want to see Who did you want to be Is it too late Can you tell me what you want Can you tell me what you need I can't read your mind But would I understand if I could I can't tell you what you want I can't tell you what you need I can't read your mind But would I understand if I could I see something in your eyes Exactly what I can't tell And I'm still listening Exactly why I don't know Can you feel it Can you find it Well I can't take it And I can't fake it anymore |

Sorry, I just had to call
Don't want to wear you out on me But I need someone to listen You don't even have to speak Sorry to make such a fuss I know these things will happen now and then If you bear with me I promise this will never happen again Not again, never again Daddy won't hurt me This time it was all my fault I'll be a good girl And he won't have to get so mad He does so much for me I know he loves me deep inside From now on I'll be so good I will never hurt his pride I guess I got what I deserved And it does no good to cry From now on I'll be good This time I will really try Thank you, I'm so happy now How was your day? I'd really like to see you soon When will you be out this way? I'm so glad that you were home Gave me a chance to think it through Let's not mention this again The only one I ever told was you Only you |

she was working all her life for justice in this world but every time she made some gains someone would kick her down again then damage takes its toll the rising the falling the rising the falling can you get back up again? it's easier to tear apart than build damage has momentum of its own it takes less time to break things down than to wait around until they're grown she was looking all her life for a mate that understood but every time she gave her heart she ended up scarred and alone then damage takes its toll the rising the falling the rising the falling can you get back up again? it's easier to tear apart than build damage has momentum of its own it takes less time to break things down than to wait around until they're grown

When she first apologized, it seemed that no one cared
No one cared about her shame No one cared about her pain And she could not accept that no one gave her time She said, "They will watch me Yes, by God, I'll make them see." My God, I can't believe you're gone It's too late to say "hang on" Sometimes you just have to wait This time it's just too late She keeps apologizing every single night Every night she wrings her hands Every night that's where she stands And I cannot accept that I could have changed her fate If I only would have known My friends keep telling me that it will be all right But they don't know the cost No, they don't know what I've lost They keep on talking, but to me there's nothing left There is nothing you can say |

it was the alchohol you said,
took away your common sense, you dont remember a thing, unconsiousness is your defense, its everybodys fault but your, and now we must forgive, how can you hold a grudge, when you cant remember what you did? but, its not so easy to forgive, no matter what you said, its not so easy to forget, it wont just go away, it will never be the same, you'll never drink that much again, those intentions sound just great, and im glad to see youve learned, i think its just a little too late |

You heard: it's no use trying to make sense, it doesn't matter anyway
There's no one worth the pain, no reason left to stay I try to turn it off; where did the old me go? How did I get so far away? I just don't know Every act of kindness boils down to lust or greed No one acts from altruism; it all comes down to need There's a monster inside my heart He tries to tear my world apart There's a demon inside my head Tells me I'd be better off dead I try to turn it off, get back to positive Don't want to drag you down to the street where I live I try to turn it off, get back to happy days Pull this barrel from my mouth and look for better ways Every act... Everything you never tried Every time you might have lied Every flaw you tried to hide Every drop you ever cried Every time you've been denied Every tear that ever dried Everything builds up inside in waves of regret miles wide |

Hey Pete she said it's not too late
I still think that you're just great You need to wait in the right place Where you'll meet a girl with good taste Aw, Ma don't you think I tried? I think there's something wrong inside I have no problem making friends But that's where the story ends I have no problem hanging out Then I see a glimpse of doubt And I don't understand What makes them not like me? I'm just trying to be myself But it's so far from everyone else And I don't understand what makes them not like me Hey Pete I see from what you said That the problem's all in your head And if you want to make a change You must let go of being strange Yeah Mom the problem's in my brain Sometimes I really think I'm insane It goes much deeper than the beard Deep down inside me I'm just weird I have no problem hanging out Maybe I'm just weird You're not weird Pete you're just fine And I'm proud to say you're mine Regardless of the strange things you've done I'm so glad that you're my son I really think from what you said That the problem's all in your head And if you want to make a change You must let go of being strange |

Mommy, what does hyper mean?
Teacher says I'll never read She says I need to take a pill So I can learn to sit real still The microwaves did something to our brains We need to take these pills to help us change Please, let me take them; I don't want to be an idiot Ritalin will make me smart At least that's what my teacher said All the other kids take them; I think I am the only one I need something to slow me down I talk too much 'cause I am dumb Mommy, what's a deficit? I think it means that I can't sit Disorder of attention And I don't learn the lesson Mommy, please, help me see the light Don't you know my teacher's always right? Joey's starting on week four He's not in trouble any more Susie's ending up week nine Now she's never out of line Please, let me take them; I don't want to be an idiot Now Mommy takes my Ritalin There's not enough for me, she said All the other moms take them; I think it's not just mine I don't know if she's smarter now But at least she's feeling fine |
