Been stricken sick. She could be the cure
And I felt quite sure. I opened every door. It makes me sick; the things I do for you. The shit that I go through, but I can't make you secure. For once make it go away. Give me what I want and I'll be fine. I need some attention. You can help me clean my wounds. Gotta lot of sewing up to do. And I know what it's like when they're twisting your arm. And it's difficult I'm sure when you don't know who you are. But they don't own you though they may seem to. But isn't that what it means when you belong? Isn't that what you wanted all along? Hadn't you realized you might be wrong? |

Every morning I go to my local foodstore
To buy a bag of sweet sixteen. God I love those little doughnuts It looks like I'll turn out to be A cop even though I dream of Playing every sold out show. Having dreams and eating sweets Won't get you where you want to go. I try as hard as hard can be I still can't get the stuff I need But it's ok- For now it seems I'm living life expectancy I'd really love a new guitar Something bright metallic green. Guess I'll wait for it a while For now I'll eat my sweet sixteen. Well if I am a mindless fool I'll die by following the rules Now Heaven doesn't want me there And Hell must have a load to bear Cause they said, "Gee we're all filled up! Please take a number wait in line." There must be other doughnut eaters Hey,perhaps they're friends of mine |

Resolute and determined-its the way you've always been.
Don't give up your position and your guaranteed to win. It's a joke. You're not laughing. There's one question you're not asking. And I saw just how shallow you could be. Sometime I worry bout the life you lead. Sometimes I listen to the way you breathe. Sometimes I long for you to see yourself And realize that you need help. When it's my red letter day Ill be the right one after all. I'll pave the way. Let all the narrow-minded fall. You're unequivocal. That's all too typical for you. Listen to me, I'm always right, No matter what, No use to fight me. Ill bring you down. Listen to me, I'm always right, No matter what, No use to fight me. Ill beat you down. No, not this time. I woke up with the feeling that I hadn't slept at all. I looked up at the ceiling is there a dream I should recall. It was you(me)by the water. No reflection just the mirror. And I saw just how pretentious I could be. And now my red letter day comes crashing down around my feet. We've all got flaws and I've been arrogant to think. That it was only you. That's all too typical for me. |

Its all that you could do to make your way
Up to the threshold where we are today And I'm the one who tries to save Integrity but its too late. So pull your knife out of my back. Inventiveness is what you lack And I won't stand for this disloyalty. No need to read between the lines You've screwed me one to many times Out with the old you. You're becoming me. The clones just took control by backbiting. Your pride grabs hold of you and sets you free And I'm the one you feed off of And I can smell the avarice. |

Puppetry, hyper ambition your on a roll I think the word is delusional. I know it won't be much but i tried to be your friend Gee-look where that got me.

I think she might just have it for me
Maybe she'll find me interesting. I'll have to wait and see. I've got her. I'm the guy in the band. You had her-she slipped out of your hands. You got screwed over. You got screwed over. And now its over, yea. Trying to impress me will prove worthless. Already gave you a chance. And given clues you'll realize it too, You miserably failed the test. So how long will it be till I can get away from you, Cause you don't know what to say, And you don't know what to do. Someday soon, I'm hoping, you'll be gone. I think she might just have it for me Maybe she'll find me interesting. I'll have to wait and see. I've got her. I'm the guy in the band. You had her-she slipped out of your hands. You got screwed over. You got screwed over. And now its over, yea. |

Sixteen. You looked like a photograph.
Pristine. I still recall when I saw you. And I still see you standing there. Yea I still see you. That was then. This is now. And I often wonder how I've held myself together for so long. Honor was lost. Rumors were true What came through town and wiped out everyone I knew? I won't break down. No, not this time. That faded photograph's not yours. It's mine. You knew me better than anyone. Is it me who's changed or is it everyone? But I still see you. This distance makes us closer. By my side. I Tell myself that I still see you Even though I'm broke in two ways Empty hands a different face I might as well just change my name and leave this town. I think anonymity's what's needed now. I won't be a martyr. It's too overrated. Where the hell's that picture I've always wanted painted? I may not have the answer. All I really need is time And I may never find it out But I'll be damned if I won't try. It's not so bad. There's still a few. It must have been my eyes distorting everyone I knew. I won't break down. No, Not this time. This faded photograph's not yours. |

In a room filled with darkness
Its another sunny day. I lose my faith and all without you and feel the pain Of lost love some never gain. I never said that I would leave you And I only want to stay Cause at the times that I'm feeling down And left out in the rain My heart is filled with you. And I don't care- and I'm not scared If I'm lost in time- I'm by your side No longer wandering- I've found my home forever. |

I tread down the street today as far as I could.
I though long and hard about if what I done was good. I petitioned my brain: Was I proud or in vain. Where I stood? But who are you to say what's true? And who am I to say your right? It's up to you and me. I made up my mind today or so I had thought. I planned out a speech for what would happen if we fought. No remorse, No regret, No forgive, No forget. Something's unethical is it me? |

I am the stopwatch on a bomb.
I have no the strength to carry on. My valediction waits for me. It makes me scared to go to sleep. My destination can't be far. I'm In the backseat of this car. My belt is buckled, locked and clasped. And I'm not sure how long this ride will last. I've seen so much. And I've had dreams But I can't tell you what they mean And I've been far. Too far to see. And where I've been is part of me And if my life goes flashing by Like they all say I hope that I See my entire family. It's so much bigger than you'd ever thought it to be. And I've heard songs and harmonies. I've kept them here inside of me. And I've had friends-The best indeed. And who I've loved is part of me. I can't tell you how much you meant to me. Never had any opportunity You're not here to accept apologies Goodbye. |
