OPEN YOUR EYES
As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of people's feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof overhead
A crackhead asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation there's no room in jail
But most of you don't give a shit
That your daughters are porno stars
And your sons sell death to kids
You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
You turn away,
You turn away,
You turn away,
You turn away,
As I walk along these streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do

PRESSURE
I just need this to be alright
I can't feel this another night
I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
Necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping can't stay awake
Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure
If you need me I'll be here
Half unconscious, escape my fear
I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
Necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping can't stay awake
Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure
My head hurts, this shit isn't getting me high
My chest is so tight, am I going to die?
My stomach's in knots and the room starts to spin
As I wait for this valium to slowly kick in
Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure[2x]

FADE
I try to breathe
Memories overtaking me
I try to face them but
the thought is too
Much to conceive
I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
That my life became 'cause
I just needed someone to talk to
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me to
Express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface
I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made
So where were you
When all this I was going through
You never took the time to ask me
Just what you could do
I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
That my life became 'cause
I just needed someone to talk to
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me to
Express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface
I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made
but I never meant to fade - away
I never meant to fade
I just needed someone to talk to
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me to
Express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface
I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made
I try to breathe...

IT'S BEEN AWHILE
And it's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been a while
Since I first saw you
And it's been a while
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been a while
Since I could call you
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means
And It's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been a while
Since I can say I love myself as well and
And it's been a while
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been a while
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day
And it's been a while
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been a while
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been a while
Since I've seen the way the candles light your face
And it's been a while
But I can still remember just the way you taste
And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be
I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me
And it's been a while
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been a while
Since I said I'm sorry

CHANGE
If ever you had said to me before
That I would live this life that I am
Living now I guess it's all so strange
To feel the way I do inside but
Have so much that I could feel some
Pride for in my life so why is it that
I feel like this
How do I feel? I've been here before I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside it breaks me
To torment again and torture me like it used to
I try and try to break away from all the hate
I'm feeling for everyone of you that's ever
Done me wrong. I need to justify the reasons
For the way I'm living. I guess I can't cause
I don't feel like I deserve it
How do I feel? I've been here before I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside it breaks me
To torment again and torture me like it used to
My life is a spinning head of games
And sometimes I feel like I'm being controlled by yesterday
So now the waves they have subsided
And my soul is bleeding I can't take away
The shame I feel, forgive me
How do I feel? I've been here before I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside it breaks me
To torment again and torture me like it used to

CAN'T BELIEVE
Respect, respect what is found
Respect should abound
Respect everything that you leave
I can't believe
Can't believe
And I, I can't believe
I can't believe all the travesty
Surrounding me, I, I want to flee
I want to flee from everything
In front of me I
Can't believe
Never again, trusted in you
Fuck everything that you think I should be
I stand, never again, never again
Can't believe

EPIPHANY
Your words to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said
So I speak to you in riddles
'Cause my words get in my way.
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
'Cause I can't take anymore of this,
I wanna come apart,
or dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said
I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention,
Yet I always try to hide
'Cause I talk to you like children,
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed.
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

SUFFER
The more you see the more you do
The television's feeding you. With what
You want to hear, anger and fear, because you suffer
The hate you feel won't go away you're all programmed to
feel this way to live another day within a world
That loves to suffer
And then I come to find everything's O.K. seen this all
before but that was yesterday. I try to walk right
through the messes that I've made just let me enjoy
the life here that I've made
I've tried to give this all to you. Can't take anymore to do
with this. It hurts inside. I know why I hide 'cause
I suffer
I tried to keep it all inside didn't leave me too much
pride forced it all down inside forced myself to make
me suffer
And then I come to find everything's O.K. seen this all
before but that was yesterday. I try to make it
through the messes that I've made so i can enjoy
the life here that I've made
And then I come to find
And then I come to find everything's O.K. seen this all
before but that was yesterday. I try to walk right
through the messes that I've made just to enjoy
the life here that I have

SAFE PLACE
Another day inside my world
Im married to you and this road
A road that never lets me sleep
Theres no way to escape these demons i am forced to keep
But then i find ...you here
Through your eyes everythings clear
And im home inside your arms
But im alone for now
I mean the best with what i say
It doesnt always sound that way
I never learned to work things out
Cause in my family all we ever seem to do to is shout
But then i find ...you here
Through your eyes everythings clear
And im home inside your arms
But im alone for now ...alone for now
When i try to sleep
The drugs i take
Are killing me
I think of you to ease my pain
But your so far
Now its time to say goodbye
I love u baby please dont cry
And then i find ...you here
Ahrough your eyes everythings clear
And im home inside your arms
But im alone for now ...alone for now

FOR YOU
To my mother To my father
It's your son or it's your daughter
Are my screams loud enough for
You to hear me? Should I turn this up for you?
I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
The silence gets us nowhere,
Gets us nowhere way too fast.
The silence is what kills me
I need someone here to help me
But you don't know how to listen
And let me make my decision
I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
The silence gets us nowhere,
Gets us nowhere way too fast.
All your insults And your curses
Make me feel like I'm not a person.
And I feel like I am nothing.
But you made me so do something.
Cause I'm fucked up because you are.
Need attention, Attention you couldn't give.
I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
The silence gets us nowhere,
Gets us nowhere way too fast.

OUTSIDE
And you,
Can bring me to my knees
Again
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
And I leave
My burdens at the door
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
All the times
That I felt like this won't end
It's for you
And I taste
What I could never have
It was from you
All the times
That I cried
My intentions
Were full of pride
All I waste
More time than anyone
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
All the times
That I've cried
All this wasted
It's all inside
And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend
But I feel
Tomorrow will be okay
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

WASTE
Your mother came up to me,
She wanted answers only she should know,
Only she should know.
It wasn't easy to deal with the tears that rolled down her face.
I had no answers 'cause I didn't even know you.
But these words
They can't replace,
The life you,
The life you waste.
How could you paint this picture?
Was life as bad as it should seem, that there were no more options for you?
I can't explain how I feel.
I've been there many times before.
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me.
But these words
They can't replace,
The life you,
The life you waste.
Did daddy not love you?
Or did he love you just too much?
Did he control you?
Did he live through you at your cost?
Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own?
Well fuck them,
and fuck her,
and fuck him,
and fuck you,
for not having the strength in your heart to pull through.
I've had doubts,
I have failed,
I've fucked up,
I've had plans,
Doesn't mean I should take my life with my own hands.
But these words
They can't replace,
The life you,
The life you waste
But these words
They don't replace,
The life you,
The life you waste.

TAKE IT
I feel like this won't go away
no matter how hard I try
to squeeze my eyes shut
so i can't see the pain
in you this pain in me - in me
But everything that I can say to you
Won't help you - everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it
I know that I am really not here
to represent what I am not clear
About in my head sometimes
I feel fucked up just like you do - like you do
But everything that I can say to you
Won't help you - everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it
Try to make it through the daily pain
That you feel - maybe tomorrow won't be so bad.
I know it
'cause I once felt that way
Nothing I could say
Made it go away
I lived through this
I still feel this
I just live for my tomorrow
Make it go away
Just make it go away
She'll make it go away
