1. Open Your Eyes
As I walk along these streetsI 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 (x4)
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
(x2)
2. Pressure
I just need this to be all rightI 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
My head hurts this shit isn't getting me high
My chest is so tight I think I am going to die
My stomach's in knots and the room starts to spin
As I wait for this valium to slowly kick in
3. Fade
I try to breatheMemories 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
4. It's Been Awhile
It's been awhileSince I could hold my head up high
Since I first saw you
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
Since I could call you
But 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
It's been awhile
Since I could say that I wasn't addicted
Subce I could say I love myself as well
Since I've gone and fucked things
up just like I always do
But all that shit seems to
disappear when I'm with you
But everything I can't remember
as fucked up as it 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
It's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
Since I said I'm sorry
Since I've seen the way
the candle lights your face
But I can still remember
just the way you taste
But 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
It's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
and it's been awhile since I said
I'm sorry
5. Change
If ever you had said to me beforeThat 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
So now the waves they have subsided
And my soul is bleeding I can't take away
The shame I feel, forgive me
6. Can't Believe
Respect, respect, what is foundRespect 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
Surround 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
F*ck everything that you think I should be
I stand, never again, never again
Can't Believe
7. Epiphany
Your words to me just a whisperYour Faces so unclear
I ry to pay attention
Your words just disappear
Cuz it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things 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
Cuz I can't take anymore of this
I want to come apart
Or dig myself a little hole inside your precious heart
Cuz 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
Though I always try to hide
And I talk to you like children
But I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed
But it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said
8. Suffer
The more you see the more you doThe television's feeding you
Write 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 withing a world
That loves to suffer
And then I come to find everything's okay
Seen this all before, but that was yesterday
Try to walk right through the messes that I've made
Just let me enjoy the life here that I've made
I tried to give it all to you
Can't take anymore to do with this, it hurts inside
I know why I hide
Cuz 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...
And then I come to find...
9. Safe Place
Another dayInside my world
I'm married to you and this road
A road that never lets me sleep
So there's 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 scream and shout
But then I find you here
Through your eyes
Everything's 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
Cuz then I'll find you here
Through your eyes everything's clear
And I'm home inside your arms but I'm alone for now
10. For You
To my mother, to my fatherIt's your son or it's your daughter
Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me?
Should I turn it up for you?
I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence gets us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere way too fast!
The slience is what kils me
I need someone to help
But you don't know how to listen
And let me make my decisions
Cuz 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'm nothing
But you made me, so do something
Because I'm f*cked up cuz 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!
11. Outside
And you bring me to my knees, yeahAll this time that i could beg you please, yeah
All the times that i felt insecure, yeah
And i leave my burdens at the door
I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause Inside youre ugly
Ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
All this time that I felt like this wont end
Was for you
And i taste what I could never have
It's from you
All those times that I tried
My intentions
Full of pride
And i waste more time than anyone
I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Cause inside you're ugly
Ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
All the times that I cried
All this wastin
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 cant help what I feel
Tomorrow will be okay
I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
Inside you're ugly
Ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
12. Waste
Your mother came up to meShe 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 cuz 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 picutre?
Was life as bad as it should seem
That there were kno 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 f*ck them, and f*ck her, and f*ck him,
And f*ck you
For not having the strength in your heart to pull through
I've had doubts, I have failed
I've f*cked up, I've had plans
Doesn't mean I should take my life with my own hands
But these words, they don't replace
The life you waste
13. Take It
I feel like this won't go awayNo 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
F*cked up just like you do - like you do
Try to make it through the daily pain that you feel
Maybe tomorrow won't be so bad
I know it cuz I once felt
That way nothing could say
Made it go away I lived through this
I still feel this I just live for my tomorrow
Just make it go away - she makes it go away
