As I walk along these
streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of peoples
feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof
over head
A crack head 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
As I walk along the streets
Soaking up
the cold 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? |

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 to 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
TOO MUCH PRESSURE! |

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 to 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 to 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 never meant to fade...
Away
I
NEVER MEANT TO FADE
I just needed someone to talk to
You were
just to 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 awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been
awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could
stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
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 awhile
Since I can say I love myself
as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up
just like I always do
And it's been awhile
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 awhile
Since I could look at myself
straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's
been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candle lights your face
And
it's been awhile
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 awhile
Since I could hold
my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm
sorry |

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 inisde 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.
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 every one 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.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me
to torment again and
torture me like it used to.
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.
AGAIN! |

I force myself through another
day
Can't explain the way today just fell apart like
everything
Right in my face
And I try to be the one
I can't
accept this all because of you I've had to walk away
From
everything
I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid
you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home
Another sleepless night again
Hotel
room's my only friend and friends like that just don't add up
To
anything
And I try so hard to be
Everything that I should never take
away from you again
Cause I heard you say
I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid
you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home
I cannot forget
I live with
regret
I cannot forget
I live with regret
I live through this
I can't see
through this
I can't do this anymore
I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid
you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm
gone
And I just wish I was back home

Your words to me just a
whisper
Your faces so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words
just disappear
'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all
the thing's I should have said
So I speak to you in riddles
because
My words get in my way. I smoke the
whole thing to my head
and feel it
wash away 'cause i don't take anymore
or this, I want to
come apart.
or dig myself a little hole inside
your precious
heart
'Cause its 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
though 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 its 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 it 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 walk right
through the
messes that I've made just let me enjoy
the life here that I've
made
And then I come to find |

Another day
Inside my
world
I'm married to
you and this road.
A road that never
lets
me sleep .
So theres no way to escape the
demons I am forced
to keep.
And then I find you here
Through your
eyes
Everything's clear
And I'm home
Inside your arms,
But I'm
alone for now.
I mean the best
with what I say.
It doesn't
always
sound that way
I never learned to
Work things out
cause
In my family all we
Ever seem to do is shout
But then I
find you here
Through your eyes,
everythings clear
And I'm
home
inside your arms,
but I'm alone for now.
And when I try
to sleep-
the drugs I take
are killing me - I think of you
to
ease my pain -
but you're so far-
Now it's time to say goodbye.
I
love you baby
please don't cry -
'cause then I'll find you here
-
Through your eyes everythings clear -
and I'm home inside your
arms - but I'm alone for now.
But then I find you here
Through
your eyes,
everythings clear
And I'm home
inside your
arms,
but I'm alone for now. |

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
locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This
silence gets us nowhwere!
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 decisions
'Cause I
sit here locked
inside my head remembering everything you've
said
The silence gets us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere to
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
This silence get us
nowhere!
Gets us nowhere way to fast |

And you
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
But 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 your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to
the real you
All the times
That I felt like this won't
end
Was for you
And I taste
What I could never have
It's from
you
All the times
That I've tried
My intentions
Full of
pride
But 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 your ugly
Your 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 wil be
OK
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see
through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your
ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you |

You 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 repace
The life you...
...the life you
waste
How could you paint this picture?
With 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 repace
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 strenght
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
repace
The life you...
...the life you waste
But these
words
The don't replace
The life you...
THE LIFE YOU
WASTE |

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.
It 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 |
