go away i'm afraid
with you there could be no escape
i have no faith, i've seen
truth and reason down the drain 
but i cling to you for survival
and i know that you are my bible

get out i'm scared, for the moment
but i know you'll be there
well i'm scared for the moment
but i know you'll be there

by the way things you say
freak me out, i go out of my head
i feel no shame
when i turn my back and walk away

but i cling to you for survival
and i know that you are my bible

i've seen you now
about the fourth time baby
but you know that i've got nothing to say
it's so charming to look on your face
but your eyes inviting something
i just can't do now
i've been around about your hood
i'm looking for you
just to shine some light on my day
feels like ages since i've been out your way
i've been caught up with a handful
of new sensations 
i hear you calling
calling for me out in the night
but it's all bad
and i know that

i've seen you now
about the fifth time baby
but you know that i've got nothing to say
it's so charming to look on your face
but your eyes inviting something
i just can't do now
i've been around about your hood
i'm looking for you
just to shine some light on my day
feels like ages since i've been out your way
i've been caught up with a handful
of new sensations 

all the things that i've regretted
and all the places that i was headed
with you i wanna pursue 
even though you're not a go-getter
you could show me, you could do better
you'll see, take a chance on me

but i know, i know 
this feeling that i have inside of me
in me, my belly's burning
and it's turning
don't you see
i'm upset and yet
no regrets

if there ever was a time
when i could go back and make it all fine
with you, i wanna pursue

all the blood and tears i've sweated
all the work, we can't forget it
you'll see, take a chance on me

all the things that i've regretted
and all the places i was headed
with you i wanna pursue

no more standing around
i've said it
get off your ass and we'll go get it
you'll see take a chance on me

you gotta burn that building down
i would love to see that world
come crashing down 
then the people under could come
crawling out
see the sun for the first time
it would burn them without a doubt
but that burn would feel so good, so warm
it would let them finally feel life and be
born again

you got the first mile made it through
but you're falling apart
forget the distance that you've moved
since you were at the start
i bet you would do much better
doing what you feel in your parts
because you give and take and give
all that you've got
and it starts to break you
down - until you have broken 
i've got a bucket of water in case
you catch on fire
i'm at the pit stop waiting for you
if you blowout or tire
i've gotta tell you
you fight like a bull
and that i truly admire that
you give and take and give
all that you've got
and it starts to break you
down - until you have broken down

no flag in sight yet but you've gotta
keep moving
if your wheels forsake you
it'll surely break you
in time you'll be sold you might feel cold
but don't forget that it's the path
you've chosen 

let me take a little break
i'm having the hardest time
convincing you that there are better ways
to say what's on your mind
insult intimidate
let's try to be more diplomatic
we all have opintions here
we all have the right
if you make an effort to understand
you don't have to fight
put down your weaponry
you get so fucking defensive 
no man we don't have you
we can shake it off
we need to go find a place
where we can carry on
everyone hears, but it's no one's business
i think we've said enough we just need to find a place 
where we can carry on

if we can wait for better days
to open up our eyes
then we can say the thigns we feel
and make no compormise
we all have opinions here
we all have the right
we're not perfect, we make mistakes
we just have to try

painted murder on the wall
footsteps coming down the hall
to the window through the blinds
run away but i still
hear the footsteps
closing in again
this time the plain is going down
double over get ready 
i'm allergic to the light
and the darkness brings me fright
through the peephouse i saw
the suicidal neighbours
they turned the doorknob
came in again
someone sleeping in my bed
closed my eyes and 

i had a dream inside a dream
i woke so many times i don't know
if i'm awake

jam the forceps in my eyes
keep them open through the night
listen to a grating voice
the night speaks it says
"hey" to morning "It's great to meet again.
out of bed you sleepyhead"

i had a dream inside a dream
i woke so many times i don't know
if i'm awake

things coming down, it's all that i see
i turn and look but it don't bother me
is there any way i could get by
what reason i don't understand why 
i always say you know i know
we're always getting nowhere, nowhere
i guess i'll never ever learn, never learn
cause i'm never gonna grow up
all the time she things i'm lying
hurts so bad inside i like dying
i'm not around
she tells me she's crying
even though, even though
i know what's right

another day, another lecture
somehow i think this will re-occur
it's something now that i foresee
this chemistry is a bad recipe

all the time she things i'm lying
hurts so bad inside i like dying
i'm not around
she tells me she's crying
even though, even though

don't need no anyone
don't need no anybody
talk to me about
handling relationships 
it seems like everyone
it seems like everybody
i think i really doubt
i'd use their advice and tips

but that's the way i was falling
and that's the way it's supposed to be
that's teh way i was falling
and that'st eh way

although it's just begun
i've heard enough already
i feel i'm all worn out
only just begun this trip
this phenomenon
which happens naturally
something you hear about
more than just companionship

i remember when
it was breaking my heart
even though then
i was falling apart

even though...

how i long to see your eyes
your eyes fill me up i breathe them inside
i have your image deep inside of me
i hold your picture it's a part of me 
it has been so long

without you there's no sun, just sky
i'm a would that's bone deep, bled dry

it has been so long

i want to know the place
where you come from
i like to see your face when i wake up
i offer me just for yourself
wrapped up for you and no one else
and no one else
could be appreciative
be as appreciative of your charm 
when you walk you take you take your time
take the tiniest steps
when i'm at your side if you feel
you're left behind
i'll slow down to your pace
and we'll be like a tree
and we'll grow on
and if the world should end
with fires and bombs
i'd like to be there holding hands
with you i'll view the end of the lands
and no one else could steal a piece
like you could steal a piece that big
of my heart

i want to be with you
and we will be together
i want to be with you
and we will life forever 

so what
became of you
why did you disappear?
i heard
you came looking for me
you had something to share 
all i say how can i resist,
i won't look back
there's nothing to stop me
all i say how can i resist,
don't look back you'll
never find me

hello
it's me again
i'm sorry to bother you
you know
more than ever
so what
became of you
why did you disappear?
i need
you to show me how
it's supposed to feel

...and her body bleeds too much
and her boy is out of touch
she's learning
she's yearning for something
that something that only new love can bring 
she needs to look into new eyes
fall into them
and this pupil will dive
into her desires
go into them 'cause
it feels due

the girl she was has gone
and this campus turns her
on to fresh things her boyfriend
just won't be
he's dull old
and she wants shiny and green

she needs to look into new eyes
fall into them
and this pupil will dive
into her desires
go into them 'cause
it feels due
it feels due

desktop breaking
filled with guilt
she sees the desktop breaking
can't control herself
desktop breaking
he'd freak out
she sees the desktop breaking
can't control herself

and her body bleeds too much
and her boy is out of touch

if i paint a picture of the days gone by
i could tell a story minus the truth,
it's the only way
i couldn't walk a meter in your shoes
you'll see, when you see
they're soaked i left them out in the rain
and they are just like weights
i could help you choose a name,
first thing that i saw today
make the best of new conditions,
never be the same 
pent up in me, tied up in my room
i found the perfect remedy
spit you out, or just chew it
pentup in you, tied up in your room
you got the best cut of the deal
you lay down, with the newest

i thought about you in my bed last night
you were a thousand years old,
had a million boyfriends,
i have a rubber stoper to prevent
the worst from happening
mark the troubled spot within and press
with all my mightiness
bend it back all the way this one
it'll never break
make the best of old ideas
never be the same

it seems so tough sometimes when you face a day with back to back conflict. 
when you get pushed around you might stand your ground, might end up on your back, but... 
when you fall do you benefit and talk about it? 
when you fall do you get back up with your head above you? 
when you fall...? 
i choked back tears last night sitting alone in a restaurant, thinking. 
how did i get so low? 
how did i manage to sink to the bottom?

every thing's stagnant, inert and i feel so far away. 
i've got so much more to accept, 
i've got so much more to say, 
i felt sullen and depressed with thing i needed off my chest. 
i've go so much more to accept i've got so much more to say. 
i was beat up by the pictures in my mind, 
i saw heat and fire come to take your place, 
walked thought brilliant light on my way to see you, 
i can't move at all with my feet in quicksand. 
if you went a million miles away i would be sitting here wondering what to say. 
i've seen the out come and i'm hoping that it never ends

did you think that i was blind? 
did you think i couldn't see? 
did you think i'd just dismiss your betrayal so easily? 
sick and tired of your negativity. 
sick and tired of your contradictions. 
you should understand in order to make change more than just words and ideologies are needed, 
you've gotta be down to earth, 
so get it through your head. 
nobody appointed you any kind of leader. 
and to think i once trusted you, 
i used to call you friend. 
i can forgive but i can't forget, 
i won't be hurt by you again. 
you've got it in your mind that you've been appointed as some kind of leader.

i heard your invitation so i got up to bat and i swung real hard, 
i think i knocked out the lights when i look back because you had no idea where i was coming from . 
i think i heard your shell break and i could feel your pain. 
i had the nerve to put up a fight when no one else could reach inside to you. 
here you go this is yours a piece of mind a sort of restitution

something's on my mind but you know i'm find sit around out here and think. 
do you even know what's going on? 
cause I sure don't have a clue with you anymore. 
some thing's change sometimes that's right, 
it's me and maybe i'll use this wasted space this time more and more efficiently. 
do you even know what's going on? 
cause i sure don't have a clue with what to do with you anymore.

it's time to think about vital parts and values to start to focus my attention on what makes me happy. 
advice and tips on some better way's to keep a friend straight from your pretty face to make a point of making contact. 
i want to share things with those i care about, 
i've got so much in me. 
i want to soak up what's pouring out from those who care about me. 
i'm certain this time i'll make the change, 
i'll at least try

fractured life your silence heard. 
it's what you didn't want what other didn't see. 
painful past you'd rather die than try to explain how it hurts inside. 
don't you think their future's filled with dire problems? 
you clench your fist you close your eyes. 
don't point the blame you might find yourself the same. 
you terrify you dare deny this poor kids life 
there's not much more to identify when something's wrong 
the end is near there's not much more that i can do. 
you took it all their innocence left behind with scars and shameful tears 
it doesn't need to be this way it seems that it will never go away

this bridge is falling down and just like it was before, 
it's bad, and i made it recur. 
crossed the bridge and it caught my attention, 
an ocean, diluting frustration. 
so i smashed it down in search of contentment, 
i fell down and into the ocean but now i am wet, 
shivering wasted and i recognize my degeneration. 
i can see so clearly now that i am searching for simplicity. 
i can face the problem now as i look into the mirror i don't hate you. 
as a crutch when i am dependent, 
i reach out and it won't reject me. 
like a blanket when you need warmth it surrounds me but it still feels cold. 
i can face the problem now that i am searching for felicity. 
i can see so clearly now. 
when i look into your eyes i don't hate you.

another dollar fifty another ride on the bus 
the seat left alone is still warm 
the person next to me talks to me as if he knows me 
but that's ok i don't mind i look out the window while he talks on 
i do the usual try to figure out what these people do. 
in their own solitude some seem so plain some seem so lonesome lost depressed 
and true it's all inside of you. 
wandering and waiting all your life for something new to change you 
but it all seems to turn in circles nothing's new finding 
and learning all you need is something to guide you nothings stimulates no inspiration

you used to shine like a diamond all the time 
but now you forgot all your dreams forgot the times 
that you had gravel in your knees 
and i raised you back to your feet 
and now you're watered down there's nothing left burning inside 
so many times i fell on my face and you lifted my spirits back to place 
i hope the pieces are all around the puzzle of you burying your past 
and if that perfect smile isn't the perfect lie 
you're faking again wake in the morning bleeding from my back 
and dying because you neglect your heart i have so many emotions, 
passions burning in my heart.

it seems so hard to find a decent place outside with no need to hide 
you can speak your mind you can be honest 
and you don't have to pretend you could brave the day 
and wear a naked face but why do you loathe all your friends? 
making cracks at their expense 
if you choose a reason why it would probably make you cry 
while you fight with the still small voice inside. 
you can read me like a book, 
i guess there's nothing to hide. 
there is nothing to hide

it seems every time we're driving down the trans-canada #1 
the traffic's growing worse everyday it doesn't really help 
when there's a bozo at the wheel slowing down 
cutting people off i don't think it's funny. 
hit the gas, hit the brakes, in a traffic jam 
i think i'm late for work 
got your license from a cereal box 
you don't know how to drive you're just a fucking jerk, 
it never fails getting on there's always something going wrong 
a lot of cars a lot of smog (well, not as much as l.a.) 
it's pretty hazy when a blowout in a tire becomes such a big desire for idiots to watch, 
slow down it makes me crazy. 
think you know how i feel what i need is a new automobile like the game spyhunter 
i could enjoy anyone who would annoy set the missiles seek and destroy

where it all began cause i don't even know 
but the shit keeps piling on top you don't make amends 
and i don't understand and you don't even really know me. 
someone's holding on to me i think i really should calm down 
i can feel my adrenaline running thought my veins and blood. 
sometimes you can lose control 
and they don't understand they take you for a ride 
and then they want to hold you hand. 
you fought you screamed 
and they don't even know what you really have in store 
you hear all the shit and you don't fucking care 
you just have to ignore where it all began 
cause i don't even know but the shit keeps piling on top 
you don't make amends and 
i don't understand 
and you don't even really know me. 
someone's holding on to me 
i think i really should calm down 
i can feel my adrenaline they feed you full of shit 
that you already know they take you for a ride 
and then they want to hold your hand.

i break the bones to pieces in my hands my clenching fingers, 
were you the same all along? 
did i just get bored? 
why did i push you away? 
i still sit plagues with questions, 
your actions, your intentions, why couldn't you just talk to me? 
was it that i just couldn't smile anymore? 
tired of keeping it inside so i failed at you 
and now i pass out every night 
i associate the worst things with your face 
and i know you're at a loss from what you threw away 
i just wish that you had left my innocence. 
even now i still wonder how you are truly concerned 
that you're well even though you put me through this 
because i see that it's better off this way 
when i think that it is right and i know that i'm ok.

hard times and getting harder still 
but together we can make it through these days hold on 
and take hold of this hand we turn to each other to find strength 
there's nothing that we won't beat together 
there's nothing that can stop us. 
help me, 
help me face my fear 
because i don't want to have to walk alone 
and i make this promise to you 
to stand by you support you to never let you down.

one day i went out my door two men grabbed em by the throat 
mixed up with another guy couldn't fight 
they were way too strong beat me down threw me in the trunk 
what the fuck is going on? 
why do things like this happen all the time? 
they took a left, then a right, hit a bump, the other day, 
walking down the street four men carrying bags of cash 
ran me down and then they lost a bag and i was happy until the cops showed up.

i have a problem with my feeling if only you knew how i felt.
