Better Days by: Thrice
What's the use in hoping
When you always get let down?
What's the use in smiling
When all you wanna do is frown?
I'm drowning, in a sea of hate-filled eyes
And she's screaming, but no one hears her cries
Is anybody here to see a band?
Did anybody come to hear a song?
Does anyone believe in magic?
Is anybody here to sing along?
People shove me down
They're coming from all sides
And as I look around
Something just don't seem right
I feel so all alone
Though the people inundate
I see no joy or desperation
Only senseless hate
Is this the same scene
That I used to think I loved?
Or was I just naive
And were they always out for blood?
I've seen better days,
But I know that we can make a change
I've seen better days but we can change!
I've seen better days...
Opaque by: Thrice
When you can want something you hate,
And lie in perfect honesty
From every angle things are crystal clear
When you doubt things of which you're sure
Something seems just beyond your hand
You wonder if your living second rate
Is my mind too open?
Is my heart still beating?
Do my eyes betray a hint of loneliness?
Or an ambiguity,
I only want to see the light
When every word makes perfect sense
In every single line you read
But every single line seems to conflict
And the perspectives that I see,
A picasso reality
I'm seeing truth through sheets of opaque glass
Where does reason stop, and romance begin?
I feel the ghosts hitchhiking on the wind
And since when did following your heart become a sin?
I only want to see the light
All Eyes by: Thrice
The weight of the world is on my shoulders
And it's just too much to bear.
It's not that I'm growing callous,
I'm just too tired to care.
So drop your expectations,
Let go of any dependencies,
Forget your disapproval
'Cause I'm setting myself free.
Looking up to me,
Looking down on me,
And hazarding those sidelong glances.
I'm not too sure of what they see.
All I know is their views are slanted.
So drop your expectations,
Let go of any dependencies,
Forget your disapproval,
'Cause I'm setting myself free.
(All eyes on me.)
I can't take the pressure.
(All eyes on me.)
Breathe without making a sound.
(All eyes on me.)
Don't expect perfection
(All eyes on me.)
'Cause I won't fail to let you down.
(All eyes on me.)
I can't take the pressure.
(All eyes on me.)
Breathe without making a sound.
(All eyes on me.)
Don't expect perfection,
(All eyes on me.)
'Cause I won't fail to let you down.
I won't fail to let you down. (x2)
In Your Hands by: Thrice
Bound to this couch, I lie in waiting
Watching wind blown memories slip by my window sill
I can't fall asleep, voice in my head disturbs me
Waking nightmares keep, have my cries fallen on deaf ears?
can you hear me or am I...
Talking to myself again?
Is there anybody listening?
Are you taking this in?
Am I wasting my breath?
Tell me, is the wind in your sails worth everything you give?
Are you looking for something, forgiveness
I leave it up to you,
I guess I'm better off removed
Because the situtations growing too thick,
In your hands
Could it have been something I said?
Or was it something that I did?
Did I ruin my chance?
Have you written me off?
Tell me where did I cross the line,
And can I work my way back this time?
Will I always regret this decision?
I leave it up to you,
I hope you find a good excuse because
I've given about all that I can give,
In your hands
Are you taking this in?
Am I wasting my breath?
Did I ruin my chance?
Have you written me off?
(background)
I could try to count the times that I've been through this in my mind,
But I'm running out of fingers and I don't have that much time
Are you taking this in?
Am I wasting my breath?
Did I ruin my chance?
Have you written me off?
