Trapt

My independence is calling my name
A doubtful voice provides my faith
My independence only has a taste
An unsure choice I can't embrace
You'd have to carve me,
Carve me from stone
Right to the bone or
We'll end up alone
Playing the role
Of someone in control
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down everything
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down everything
Will the dice ever roll
When will I ever know
Will the plot ever twist
Or will I still resist
I've been playing the part of a lost realist
My indepednce is turning the page
Tomorrow comes we start to fade
My independence only complicates
It's not enough to meet half way
You'll have to carve me
Carve me from stone
Right to the bone
Or we'll end up alone
Playing the role
Of someone in control
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down everything
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down everything
Will the dice ever roll
When will I ever know
Will the plot ever twist
Or will I still resist
I've been playing the part of a lost realist
I only keep what I give away
I only keep what I give away
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down everything
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down
everything
With the dice ever roll
When will I ever know
Will the plot ever twist
Or will I still resist
I've been playing the part of a lost realist
Why do I rush to slow down
Why do I rush to slow down everything
Why do I rush to slow down

I found a line and then it grew
I found myself still thinking of you
I felt so empty and now I’m fine
But it's still burning when will you be mine

Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it’s time to change, don't you?
(I think it’s time for us to walk away from here)
Stories in our lives, we keep them all inside

Now look at me still in your mind
Our memories so intertwined
Well you broke through and found your way
And so did I no need to stay

Do you remember lying on the beach so late at night
Do you remember running through the sprinklers that night
Do you remember all the songs that I have wrote for you
I remember the way you made me feel when I was with you
That look in your eyes I never thought that this would be untrue

ㅡCharon

The pressure is building I want to break away
Motivation is lacking the point starts to fade
I look to the bottom still empty still the same
I’m waiting for something to show me the way
To the path that I should take, it’s just too real to go ahead and fake
Every step that I make
Name your price I would give anything
I want to start over again
What do I want I have nothing to say
Whatever it is I want it today
Do we choose our own ground Do we choose to stay
Well I’ve seen too many throw it away

Do I see just one small chance to be myself to try and make it last
Every step that I take

ㅡCharon

I don't know anything at all and I'm somebody else
It could take years to find you, it could years to find myself
And I don't need to hear your answer I just need you to see
That I think it's time to break down these walls that we throw
Am I still breathing have I lost that feeling
Am I made of glass cause you see right through me
I don't know who I am and you're the only one who sees that
I can't ask these questions that cannot be answered today
And even if everything goes wrong and we start to fall apart
I will understand where you are, I will understand this by myself
And I don't need to hear your answer I just need you to feel
Like there are no boundaries at all
And how far have we come, too far to throw away the past
Will you be there waiting for me
I have to ask what we are, if I ask today it just won't last
So I'll be here waiting for you
Will we ever feel this good again – Not today
Will we ever feel this real
again Not today Will you ever be mine again Not today Will we ever feel this real again Not today

Close my eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time to waste
Asking why?
I'll run away with you, by my side
I'll run away with you, by my side
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride
(Asking why?)
I think about your face
And how I fall into your eyes
The out moment I trace around the one that I call mine
Time to count more space
And beware that your drew the line
I don't need you solve this case
And I don't need to look behind
Close my eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time to waste
Asking why?
I'll run away with you, By my side
I'll run away with you, By my side
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride
(Asking why?)
Do I except you change, the past I hold inside?
With all the words I say
Repeating over in my mind
Some things you cant erase
No matter how hard you try
An exit to escape
Is all there is left to find
Close my eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time to waste
Asking why?(Asking why)
I'll run away with you, by my side
I'll run away with you, by my side
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo in my mind
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside
So I,
Close my eyes
Let the whole thing pass me by
There is no time to waste
Asking why?
I'll run away with you, by my side
I'll run away with you, by my side
I need to let go, let go, let go, let go of this pride
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo in my mind
Until this echo, echo, echo, echo can subside

So what is it about me
That you can't give into
Forcing myself back
Now i can't talk to you
Maybe i should realize there a chance that
I was never meant to be with you

So just
Leave me standing
Never make that promise
You're aware your feelings aren't for me
(don't give it away)
Forcing me to believe in something real
I cannot hurt you
Runaway
I won't complain it's all my fault
Leading this observed by you

You see me beg and plead
It's what I always do
I guess I got off track
Oh I must be confused
Maybe i should realize there a chancce that
I was never meant to be with you

[chorus]

Would you care
If I was scared
Would you care
If I was scared
I am......for you

[chorus]

You never listen to me,
You cannot look me in the eyes.
I have struggled to see
Why its so easy to push me aside....

I no longer believe,
That you were ever on my side.
How could you know what I need,
When I'm the last thing on your mind...

Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you

[chorus]
So disconnected, going through the motions again
So disconnected, everything goes over your head
So disconnected, you got me hangin by a thread
So disconnected, when will this cycle end?

You dont really know me,
I dont think you ever even tried
We're on the same routine
Where you say you never have the time

What do you want me to be?
Do you want me in your life?
I feel so incomplete
You left me to fall behind

Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you

[chorus]
So disconnected, going through the motions again
So disconnected, everything goes over your head
So disconnected, you got me hangin by a thread
So disconnected, when will this cycle end?

Its too hard to just move on
Its easier said then done
Its too hard to just move on
Its easier said then done

Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you
Too out of touch, out of touch to touch you

[chorus]
So disconnected, going through the motions again
So disconnected, everything goes over your head
So disconnected, you got me hangin by a thread
So disconnected, when will this cycle end?

So disconnected, going through the motions again
So disconnected
When will this cycle end

So disconnected
So disconnected
When will this cycle end?

I wanna meet up with you
And show you what I'm thinking
I'll take you anywhere
That you wanna go
I'm sitting here bored and lonely and
You know that anytime you're free
To show me how you feel
We'll take it anywhere that you want to go
Anywhere that you wanna go
And I'd make it right if you wanted it
I want it back more than you know
I'd cross the line if you wanted it
I want you back
And I'm waiting for you
To get that feeling once again
Reunited in the end
And I've been waiting for you
To capture my imagination
Cuz I've been fooled by the illusions in my head
In my head
Now I realize I never had it so good
You took me anywhere I wanted to go
Now I'm sitting here dreaming of the days
When anytime I wanted I could show you how I feel
I can't go anywhere that I want to go
Anywhere that I want to go
And I'd make it right if you wanted it
I want it back more than you know
I'd cross the line if you wanted it
I want you back
And I'm waiting for you
To get that feeling once again
Reunited in the end
And I've been waiting for you
To capture my imagination
Cuz I've been fooled by the illusions in my head
In my head
I'll take it anywhere
I'll take it anywhere
I'll take it anywhere
I'll take you anywhere you wanna go
And I'd make it right if you wanted it
I want it back more than you know
I'd cross the line if you wanted it
I want you back
I'm waiting for you
To get that feeling once again
Reunited in the end
I've been waiting for you
To capture my imagination
Cuz I've been fooled by the illusions in my head
And I've been fooled by the illusions in my head
And I've been fooled by the illusions in my head

Let me play
I've been dying to let you win
It's all I wanna be
So won't you take if from me
I wonder
Why the less I get the more I give
It's all I wanna be
So won't you take if from me
I want your eyes
I want your eyes on me
I want your eyes
I want your eyes on me
I want your eyes
I want your eyes to see
I want someone to notice me
I wanna be your new victim
I wanna be your new victim
No regrets... even if it's all I get
It's all I wanna be
So wont you take it from me
It still hurts
It's never easy to forget
Do I wanna be
Well, you never asked me
I want your eyes
I want your eyes on me
I want your eyes
I want your eyes on me
I want your eyes
I want your eyes to see
I want you to notice me
I wanna be your new victim
I wanna be your new victim
I'm right here
I'm right here
I'm right here
I'm right here
I'm right here
I'm right here
I'm right here
I'm right here
I'm right here
So come and get me!
So come and get me!
I wanna be your new victim
I wanna be your new victim
I wanna be your new victim
I wanna be your new victim

Why don't you let me be
Leave me alone
You start a fire inside that i could never control
You wanna see a reaction
Come on and cut me doubt
You've gone as far as i'll go
Now you're crossing the line
And i am letting you know
Well here's your reaction
Stand up
I have had enough
Walk away before i finish what you started
Face to face i will push you in your place
End this game before i finish what you started
Face to face everything will change

You planted the seed
How my anger has grown
Got an feeling inside that i can't seem to control
You wanna see a reaction
Come on and cut me doubt
You've gone as far as i'll go
Now you're crossing the line and i am letting you know
Well here's your reaction
Stand up
I have had enough
Walk away before i finish what you started
Face to face i will push you in your place
End this game before i finish what you started
Face to face everything will change
Insult
After insult
Stand up
I have had enough
Walk away before i finish what you started
Face to face i will put you in your place
End this game before i finish what you started
Face to face everything will change
Walk away
Everthing will change
End this game
You wanna see a reaction
You wanna see a reaction
Stand up

Do we know how to get the message across
We turn the lights off to find a way out
It’s hard to get through to grasp what was lost
Don’t turn the light off and leave me in the dark
Hey, I’m pleading, my soul is bleeding
I don’t want to be left alone, not when I’m right next to you
What are you thinking, it’s so misleading
Is it not for me to know, I think it’s just hard for you to show

We never spoke in the words that we want
We turn the lights off to find a way out
We’ve never chosen to keep what we’ve got
Don’t turn the light off and leave me in the dark

I thought it would be nice to lie down and close my eyes
It never occurred to me that I am already asleep

Don’t be the one to be let go
Don’t be the one to be alone

ㅡCharon

This attraction only to appearance
becoming your religion, looks are everything
the only thing that means something to you
satisfaction only on the surface, your eyes are always focused
go on and let it show, that there is no exception to the rule

so fill the empty space
with another pretty face

you're skin deep, skin deep
no one will ever be perfect in your eyes
you're skin deep, skin deep
only scratching the surface for your prize

first impressions
are over in an instant
you make your decision before you speak a word
you end you search the page already turned
every conquest filled with disappointment, lacking any substance
now you're out of words, the lines are blurred you're never going to learn

so fill the empty space
with another pretty face

you're skin deep, skin deep
no one will ever be perfect in your eyes
you're skin deep, skin deep
only scratching the surface for your prize

you're skin deep, skin deep
no one will ever be perfect in your eyes
you're skin deep, skin deep
only scratching the surface for your prize

look all your life for beauty this fine
so rare so hard to find
never mind what's inside

you're skin deep, skin deep
no one will ever be perfect in your eyes
you're skin deep, skin deep
only scratching the surface for your prize

Do I want this...

Liquid courage pouring down,
sober surface hits the ground,
the masquerade has started now,
and you have faded into the crowd

How do you know?
How do you know
just who your friends are?
How do you know
when you've gone too far
to get high again?

You always feel so alone,
the real you is never shown.
Whose influence,
whose influence are you under?

So much pressure to fit in,
you never know where to begin.
Whose influence,
whose influence are you under now?

Liquid courage pouring down,
sober surface can't be found,
there's no denial you can drown,
but nothing's final so turn around

How do you know?
How do you know
just who your friends are?
How do you know
when you've gone too far
to get high again?

You always feel so alone,
the real you is never shown.
Whose influence,
whose influence are you under now?

So much pressure to fit in,
you never know where to begin.
Whose influence,
whose influence are you under now?

I want this...
Do I want this?
I want this / I want this
Do I want this? / Do I want this?
I want this / I want this
Do I want this?

How do you know?
How do you know
just who your friends are?
How do you know
when you've gone too far?

You always feel so alone,
the real you is never shown.
Whose influence,
whose influence are you under now?

So much pressure to fit in,
you never know where to begin.
Whose influence,
whose influence are you under now?
Whose influence,
whose influence, whose influence
are you under now?

Where do I turn
I'm always questioning my sanity
Will I ever learn
I have always stolen my identity

Anyone forgive
Anyone forget
I don't want a life without respect
Life without respect

Feel there is no where that I fit
No where that I fit

I am a repeat offender
I will live with this forever
I am a repeat offender
I am a repeat offender

You have my word
There are only lies in my sincerity
I live in a world
That gives no meaning to integrity

Anyone forgive
Anyone forget
I don't want a life without respect
Life without respect

Feel there is no where that I fit
No where that I fit

I am a repeat offender
I will live with this forever
I am a repeat offender
I am a repeat offender

Someone take these handcuffs off my wrists and break the chain of habit!

Someone take these handcuffs off my wrists and break the chain of habit!

I don't want to life without respect...
I feel there is no where that I fit
No where that I fit

I am a repeat offender
I will live with this forever
I am a repeat offender
I am a repeat offender

Where do I turn
I'm always crashing in my sanity
Will I ever learn
I've always stolen my identity

It's hard to trust a stranger,
but you're a stranger to yourself
so who's to blame?
Drown away emotion,
as you numb yourself from any real
pain.

There's nothing more real,
and nothing's what it seems.
We're always caught in between!
There's nothing left to feel,
but still you can not leave.
You don't know what you need.

And I know that you use me to use you,
And I know that you use me to use you,
And I know that you use me to use you,
To use you... (yeah)

Hopeing it's a ritual,
the walls you build around us feel
safe!
Silence's always comfortable,
is this the only reason that you
stay!

There's nothing more real,
and nothing's what it seems.
We're always caught in between!
There's nothing left to feel,
but still you can not leave.
You don't know what you need.

And I know that you use me to use you,
And I know that you use me to use you,
And I know that you use me to use you,
And I know that you use me!


Feel your arms around me,
wondering where this will go.
I feel your arms around me,
will you ever want this like I do.

And I know that you use me to use you,
And I know that you use me to use you,
And I know that you use me to use you,
And I know that you use me!

And I know that you use me to use you,
And I know that you use me to use you,
To use you,
To use you,
To use you!

I've opened up my eyes, so tell me what I see
I've opened up my mind, so tell me how to think
Use your big words and show me how to speak
You can't live your life through me
I can't believe you think it's that easy

Your walls of pride are only fencing you in
Your ego's been playing games with your head
You're not the mastermind
I am a product of my own design

Following you and your promised guarentees
Free to choose as long as I live your dreams
You say my own weight could never be carried
I'll agree to disagree, I can't believe that you are that naive

Your walls of pride are only fencing you in
Your ego's been playing games with your head
You're not the mastermind
I am a product of my own design

You were my eyes
You were my ears
You were my conscience all these years

No more
No more
No more
No more
My vision has never been so clear
Looks like i have no one(i have no one)left to fear

Your walls of pride are only fencing you in
Your ego's been playing games with your head
You're not the mastermind
I am a product of my own design, design
you're not the mastermind
I am a product of my own design

Something missing
Left behind
Search in circles
Every time I try
I've been here before
I've seen you before
I can't escape walking through these halls
Hard to find a place where there are no walls
And no lines begging me to cross
Only straight ahead better move along
Like Clockwork
I commit the crime
I pretend to be
everything they like
I've been here before
I've seen you before
And I trade everything for this
And I trade everything for this
Why do I read the writing on the wall
Why do I read the writing on the wall
I won't lose my place in line
I've been here too long and I've spent to much time
I won't lose my place in line
I've been here too long and I've spent too much time

Don't be ashamed,
Closing your weary eyes,
Nervous and in disguise,
Covered in white lies.

Don't be afraid,
No reason to run and hide,
You know I'm on your side.

[Chorus:]
How much do you have to cover up?
What have you done?
How much do you have to cover up?
Where will you run?
Lookin' for an alibi,
Searchin' for some peace of mind,
It's all in your head,
So start this over again.
You're lookin' for an alibi,
Searchin' for some peace of mind,
It's all in your head,
So start this over again.

No-one to blame,
You know your hazard sign,
Feelin' so paralyzed,
Walkin' on fine lines.

There must be a way,
To not have to analyze,
Live without thinking twice.

[Chorus]
