"One of Those Times" #1

It's just one of those times where you wanna punch out your reflection in the mirror
When you realize you've got everything to fear
When everyone's screamin' in your ear
And you just can't find your wheel in life to steer

Its just one of those times�
Where you wish the problems just disappear
When everything's so unclear
And you wish you could find
The hope that you lost
It's just one of those times

It's just one of those times when you know you�ve had enough
When life�s finally gotten just too rough
When you know you�re in too deep
And your promises are impossible to keep

Its just one of those times...
Where you wish the problems just disappear
When everything's so unclear
And you wish you could find
The hope that you lost
Its just one of those times

And there's days when the problems
They just seem to fade
But you know in a week
You'll be knocked back off your feet
And its just one of those times
One of those times

These days come and go
But they won�t leave for long
They come back heavy
They come back strong
You just gotta grit
And bear it all
Cuz its one of those times
When you just cant fall�
Just cant fall..

"Forget Me" #2

I know those words by heart
So please don't say them to me again
I know we should be apart
But don't remind me
I'm tired of never getting
What I want
But I'll leave you alone
Yes I'll leave you alone

Letting go is hard to do
When you are so unclear
It'd be easier to hate you
If I didn't have to look in the mirror
Life was better
Before yesterday
But don�t worry about me
As long as you�re happy
Then I�m ok

And I know those words by heart
So please don't say them to me again
I know we should be apart
But don't remind me
I'm tired of never getting
What I want
But I'll leave you alone
Yes I'll leave you alone

Cuz I learned long ago
That my well-being didn't matter
As long as I can please you
And I'm not upset
That you left me
Cuz I've known all along
Nothing good can happen to me

And I know those words by heart
So please don't say them to me again
I know we should be apart
But don't remind me
I'm tired of never getting
What I want
But I'll leave you alone
Yes I'll leave you alone

But none of my problems matter
Please don't try to console me
Other people have it worse
Don't listen to me
My life goes on
Indifferently
My problems are my own

Leave me alone
Don�t cry for me
I'll be fine
I'll be fine

"Hard Decision" #3

You walked out on me again
When I said we should be friends
I can't take this pain I feel
Your words cut me like cold steel
And I know it's all my fault
My actions are your wounds
And my words, they are the salt

I struggle to maintain my stare
Cuz tormenting you I cannot bare
But I know I must end this
You deserve only bliss
Something I cannot offer

Tears flood my eyes once more
As I watch you walk out the door
But I know it's for the best
This is my heart's hardest test
To let you go and not look back
Cuz you deserve much better
Cuz there's so much that I lack

And I struggle to maintain my stare
Cuz tormenting you I cannot bare
But I know I must end this
You deserve only bliss
Something I cannot offer

Hurting you was hell for me
But I know this is how things must be
You deserve more than I can give
You deserve a better way to live
So I've finally let you go
And now I'm once more all alone
But I know you�re better off so�

I struggled to maintain my stare
Cuz tormenting you I could not bare
But I knew I must end this
You deserved only bliss
Something I couldn't offer
Something I couldn't offer
Something I can't offer

"AIM" #4

Its 2 A.M.
Once again
And I�m sitting here talking to you
Hyped up on Mountain Dew
You tell me how your day has been
As I hang on every word
And I don�t know
Just why I�m so happy
Maybe it�s the Mountain Dew
Or maybe it�s just you
[Yeah, maybe it�s just you]

Wonderin if you feel the same
As I talk to you on AIM
Staring blankly at the screen
Waiting for you to type to me

I want to hold you
But you�re so far away
I want to be with you
But I don�t know the way
I tell you how I want a car
So we can be together
And even though
You�re so far
I feel like I�m there with you

And I�m wonderin if you feel the same
As I talk to you on AIM
Staring blankly at the screen
Waiting for you to type to me

Another sip of Mountain Dew
I�m staring at my picture of you
I type real slow; my fingers shaking
As I work up the courage to say
I never want to hurt you baby
I never want to bring you pain
And its 2 A.M.
Once again
And I�m sittin here talking to you
Still hyped on Mountain Dew
And I just don�t know why I�m so happy
Maybe it�s the Mountain Dew
Maybe it�s just you
Maybe it�s just you
I think it�s just you

"Eh" #5

Burned out once again

Drinking with you my friend

Drowning my problems one Busch at a time
I�m down to my last dime
My last dime�

Emptying my glass again
Wonderin where my luck has been
Time slips by
As my tab gets high
Another round for my friends

And as the night flies by
I wonder why
I said all those things I did
Oh well
No matter
Drinking to escape my hell

My head falls to the bar
Thinking of problems so far away
My sight goes dark
As my vision blurs
Another round for my friends

And as the night flies by
I wonder why
You did all those things you did
Oh well
No matter
Drinking to escape this hell

And I�m burned out once again
Drinking with you my friend
Drowning my problems one Busch at a time
I�m down to my last dime
My last dime�

"Flawed Beliefs" #6

Fools rush in
Thats how the saying goes
But I cant understand
Where the flaw goes
I rushed into us
Perhaps way too fast
But I�m certain
That we�ll last

I must be a fool
To have thought you would be
Interested in me
Someone like you
Could never see
I must be a fool
For thinking we'd last an eternity

I coulda swore
'Forever' was longer
But now I know
Not to buy into that lore
You broke my heart
When I felt so safe
But thats what I get
When I underestimate

I must be a fool
To have thought you would be
Interested in me
Somone like you
Could never see
I must be a fool
For thinking we'd last an eternity

Fools rush in
And now I see
Where the flaw lies
In that line of mystery
Fools rush in
This I now know is true
Cuz I was a fool
For trusting you

"Hometown" #7

I�ve had enough
I can�t take anymore
This town�s messed up
Everything�s a bore
The people have issues
They expect me to fix
I�m moving out
Find someone else to give you kicks

Running away
From my hometown
Nowhere to stay
No shelter found
Running away
Don�t follow me
Running away
Why can�t you see?

I�ve put up with your problems
For way to long
And I�m getting out
To a place where I belong
So live on without me
If you even can
Cuz I�m done being blamed
For all that�s rout by your hand

And I�m running away
From my hometown
Nowhere to stay
No shelter found
Running away
Don�t follow me
Running away
Why can�t you see?

Running away
[Don�t follow me]
Running away
[Deal without me]
Running away
[No place to stay]
Running away
[I�ll make my own way]

"Ink Paper" #8

He takes out the pen
The tear stained paper
Writes down lines
Scribbles out rhymes
But he can�t find
The words that fit
His whole life defined
With ink and paper

His songs are clich�s
His rhythms overused
But nothing else can describe
The way his life has been abused
And he�s angry cuz
The words won't flow
He throws the pen
To no one, his lyrics he will show

But once again�

He takes out the pen
The tear stained paper
Writes down lines
And scribbles out rhymes
But he cant find
The words that fit
His whole life defined
With ink and paper

His lifes so hard
This is all hes got
Cuz with his writing
His freedom is rout
But even his words
Have chosen to fail him
He crumples the paper
His hope is dim

[emotions are funny
There hard to deal with
But everyone�s got
An outlet to cope with
So what happens
When your outlet fails?]
But then again�
He takes out the pen
[but then again�]
The tear stained paper
[but then again�]

"Inner Demons" #9

Hits me with full force again
Realized I've messed up again
Can't hear you shoutin at me again
You cant understand whats wrong again
I try to deny
[To myself I lie]
To make things right in my head
But I can't justify
The pain inside
I've dug my own grave again

Cuz I know inside
A problem lies
Deep within my soul
But I cant figure out
Just what its about
Why am I losing control?
Endless nights
Relentless fights
Will this tension ever cease?
And all these things they take a toll
Forever etched onto my soul

So I try to deny
[To myself I lie]
To make things right in my head
But I can't justify
The pain inside
I've dug my own grave again

Maybe what I feel inside
Isn't really there
Cuz I know nothings wrong with me
But then why do I feel so bare?
Its like a splinter in my mind
A pain that shoots too deep
To find the source
To find the force
That drives me to my knees

So I try to deny
[to myself I lie]
To make things right in my head
But I can't justify
The pain inside
I've dug my own grave again

So I try to deny
[to myself I lie]
To make things right in my head
But I can't justify
The pain inside
I've dug my own grave again
I've dug my own grave again
I've dug my own grave....again

"Lesson Learned" #10

You said you loved me
And you fed me lines
Of how you needed me
But you snared me with your vines
Of lies and promises
That you never kept
So now im leaving
My bags are all prepped

Cuz you said youd never hurt me
I shoulda known you lied
Why cant you see?
That because of your bullshit
A part of me has died

My friends all warned me
But I turned my back
I thought I'd be different
But there must be something that I lack
I should never have thought
I was good enough for you
I'm such a fool
And your so cruel

You said youd never hurt me
I shoulda known you lied
Why cant you see?
That because of your bullshit
A part of me has died

You said you were sorry
[another lie im sure]
So forget about me
But your outta luck
Cuz I don't give a fuck
So accept my resignation
Cuz im done debatin
If I should be waitin
For you to come back
Like you said you would
Like you said you would

And you said youd never hurt me
I shoulda known you lied
Why can't you see?
That because of your bullshit
A part of me has died
A part of me has died

"Maelstrom" #11

Twist and turn
Under the pressure of lies
Forever burn
Truth blazes in eyes
Morality shifts
Immortal become
Tranquility lost
Give in, succumb

Brought down by deceit
Lifted by hope
Lack of light, easier to cope
Ego forgotten
It never mattered
Open your soul
Or forever remain tattered

Fear and folly
One and the same
A Relentless volley
Internally maim
Devine light
Racked by shade
Unyielding night
Begins to fade

Brought down by deceit
Lifted by hope
Lack of light, easier to cope
Ego forgotten
It never mattered
Open your soul
Or forever remain tattered

Open eyes
Closed souls
Darkness enters
Chaos unfolds
Light pierces
Through the lies
Saving grace
To numbers untold

Lifted by hope
[Saving grace]
Lifted by hope
[numbers untold]
[numbers untold]

"Memories" #12

Close the door
Lock me in
Cuz I cant live with
My lies and sin
Let me do this, end my myth
I'll make things right
Don�t wait for me
I'll be alright
Let me make my sanctity
Let me see my light

My life's a lie
And I�ve had enough
Keeping this facade/has gotten tough
Let me fly
Let your memories of me die

Turn the key
Spin the chamber
Take my last breath
To calm the anger
Others pain, that I have caused
I'm sorry for
Time has paused
I hit the floor
Finally righted my flaws

Cuz my lifes a lie
And I�ve had enough
Keeping this fa�ade/has gotten tough
So let me fly
And let your memories of me die

I'm finally happy
So please don�t cry
I did this for me
So just say goodbye
And let me fly
Let me...die

"Nikki's Song" #13

Love songs suck
Cuz they all sound the same
Broken hearts
Are a part of the game
But here�s my song
About love lost
And it�s for you�

Broke my heart
But who cares?
I�ll get over it
Spare me your tears
I never needed you anyway
I never loved you anyway

You tore me from my friends
Took my freedom
Wrecked my Benz
Made me go shopping
You stole my life
This songs a clich�
But that�s alright

Broke my heart
But who cares?
I�ll get over it
Spare me your tears
I never needed you anyway
I never loved you anyway

You took my cash
And my dog too
[That�s my terrier you fuckin bitch]
My porn�s burned
Because of you
Said you loved me
And we�d never part
Well tell that bullshit to my broken heart

Cuz you broke my heart
But who cares?
I�ll get over it
Spare me your tears
I never needed you anyway
I never loved you anyway

Tryin� to make me jealous
By dancing with my friend
Well go ahead
Have him
[He�s the one with crabs]
Cuz I don�t care
About you�re �love�
And feel free
To keep that ring
[KRACKER JACK BOX!]

Cuz you broke my heart
But who cares?
I�m over it
Spare me your tears
I never needed you anyway
I never loved you anyway
Never loved you anyway

"Not the Same" #14

These thoughts consume him
Once again

He fights to survive
But can�t comprehend
His wounds won�t mend
[His time has come]
He takes the dive�

Some of us just aren�t the same
Some of us just carry more shame
Some of us can�t bear the pain
This horrible life can throw at us

Some of us just aren�t the same

She can�t justify
The way she feels
She struggles against the tide
The rising guilt
Her hands shake
[Her time has come]
Her parents cried�

Some of us just aren�t the same
Some of us just carry more shame
Some of us can�t bare the pain
This horrible life can throw at us
Some of us just aren�t the same

They never asked for sympathy
They knew they�d never get it
And despite the stories
We�ve all been told
We aren�t all the same
[It was their time]
Sometimes life is just so lame
We aren�t all the same�

"Roads" #15

Cuz I just can't wait
I can't take it anymore
I was first out the gate
Now I�m last out the door
And you just won't feel
What I want you too
What I want you too

A glimmering mirage
Is all that you are
Once in my reach
Now pushed too far
Behind a wall
That I just can't reach
Why did I stall?
When I knew you loved me

Cuz I just can't wait
I can't take it anymore
I was first out the gate
Now I�m last out the door
And you just won't feel
What I want you too

This lonely barrage
Has gone on too long
I've opened my eyes
Now know where I belong
In your arms
Is where I should be
But you�ve gone away
Your love taken from me

Cuz I just can't wait
I can't take it anymore
I was first out the gate
Now I�m last out the door
And you just won't feel
What I want you too

I�m such a fool�

"The Park" #16

Raging in my head
Those last three words you said
I try to understand
Why you let me hold your hand
Cuz you live so up high
And I�m used to being low
But everything�s fine
As long as I�m with you
Yeah as long as I�m with you

I sneak out so I can see you
At the park past curfew
The moon shines in your hair
I get goose bumps just from your stare
As we lay under the stars
You get so close to me
I can feel you breathe
And now I know why
Without you I�d just die

Raging in my head
Those last three words you said
I try to understand
Why you let me hold your hand
Cuz you live so up high
And I�m used to being low
But everything�s fine
As long as I�m with you
Yeah as long as I�m standing next to you

Every night you call me on the phone
When your parents aren�t home
We make promises of tomorrow and forever
And I know I�ll never hurt you ever
And as we talk on the phone
My thoughts begin to roam
Back to that night
Under the stars at the park
[yeah!]

And Ragin in my head
Those last three words you said
I try to understand
Why you let me hold your hand
Cuz you live so up high
And I�m used to being low
But everything�s fine
As long as I�m with you
Yeah as long as I�m with you

Those last three words you said
[I love you]
Raging in my head
[I love you]
And now I want to stay
Forever this way

"Tired" #17

Confident in knowing
I�ll fail again
So what�s the point in going?
When I�ve already been
Cuz my river of success
Has finally stopped flowing
And I think it's time
For me to be going

It�s an endless cycle
Day in, Day out
The yelling and screaming
Are what my life�s all about
Failure is constant
Without a doubt

Confident in knowing
I�ll fall again
So what�s the point in trying?
When I know how it�ll end
To say that I�m good
Would definitely be lying
And I wish just this one time
Instead of falling I�d be flying

It�s an endless cycle
Day in, Day out
The yelling and screaming
Are what my life�s all about
Failure is constant
Without a doubt

And I know I can�t do anything right
And I know I started this fight
Cuz my failure is constant
Without a doubt
And I think its time
For me to figure this out
So I�ll be going�

"Veil" #18

Glimpses of truth
Obscured by the veil
Woven by lies
In front of my eyes
Meanings lost
In the web of confusion
Created by doubt
And a surreal conclusion
Snatches of hope
Drift by
Can�t find where they lie
Condemned to darkness
Eternal shade
My own hell
Specially made

Flailing
Falling
Failing
Longing
Complete the cycle
[Lies unfold]
Known by many
[By few told]

Living alone
Darkness consumed
An eternal moan
Echoes in halls
Lies flourish
Chaos supreme
Sanity falls
Nothin� left but dreams
Gems of truth
In the sands of mistrust
Fly away
Crumble to dust
Left alone
Havoc consumes
Comprehension
Won�t come soon

Flailing
Falling
Failing
Longing
Complete the cycle
[Lies unfold]
Known by many
[By few told]

Fear takes over
The pain won�t subside
Over and over
Silence screams in my mind
Existence obscured
By a fog of deceit
Unable to find
A hole in the fabric
Time slips by
Emotionless havoc
Amidst it all
I stand surveying
A vicious wasteland
Of my own making

I�m flailing
I�m falling
I�m failing
I�m longing
Complete the cycle
[Truth won�t hold]
Known by many
[Remains untold]
Known by many

[Forever untold]

"Frustrated" #19

I�ve said the words a million times
A million faces a million lies
And its taken me a million tries
To finally realize

I�m only there when you�re hurting
Only your friend when you�re weak
Forgotten and burning
This cycle we speak
Saying the words so you�ll
You'll just go to sleep
I�m only there when you�re hurting
Only there when you weep

You�ve passed me by a million times
A million smiles a million lies
Trapt in this cycle of tears and goodbyes
A million words a million lies
And its taken me a million tries
To understand you don�t realize

You just don't understand
What this does to me
Empty and lonely
You just cannot see

I've said the words a million times
A million faces a million lies
And its taken me a million tries
To finally see, I realize
You needed your answers more than
you needed me
I'm walking away your
done using me
You don't realize
This cycle's frustrating me
