(Ohh..)
Riding with the head full of buckets of red
And what I said still stuck in my head
But mis-led thinking the things i'd do would make you never wanna come back
But I run from that
To a place I can't find you at
Being trapped in this with you
Something that I never wanted to do
But through it all you got to see
That where I want to be is over the pen again
Letting it out of me
In the center of the day, in a dream
Being with my thoughts
Getting lost in between
Realizing one
Not the way that it seems
And the killing of the killer with a head full of screams

I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(Start seeing its not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

And then the second it starts
We'll both be crushed when it all falls apart
Knowing no matter how low
Hoping that you won't know the strain it puts to me
Seeing what you've done
And consequently
I've run away, just hidden again
Within the boundaries of a nameless
Don't want me to say this
But you're dragging me down
Getting lost in the chaos, being tossed around
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic of my confine

I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(Start seeing its not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

You try to take the best of me
Stay away
You try to take the best of me
Stay away
You try to take the best of me
Stay away
You try to take the best of me
Go away

You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away

I wanna live in another place
Where no one can say that I live for them
(Start seeing its not meant to be for me)
I wanna be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Shut
Up
Why

Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic in my confine
(Ahhh!)
Singing again to myself, a head full of hectic
Hope that some day you'll regret this
Everything's the wrong place, the wrong time
Adding to the panic of my confine

So
What do you think?

What do I do to ignore what's behind me
Do I follow my fate to escape blindly
Do I hide my pride away from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening
Do I let it go and try to stand it
Or do I try to catch them red handed
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness
Or do I trust none and live life in loneliness
Cause sunlight burns the skin of sleeping men
I make the right turns but I'm lost within
I put on my daily faciade but then
I just end up getting hurt again by myself

(Myself)
I ask why
(But in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself
(Myself)
I ask why
(But in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on
(To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
(Running against you, I can't win)
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to give into fate seems senseless
If I hide my pride i'll lie sleepless
And won't be able to cope with my weakness
If I let them go i'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them i'll be outrun
If i'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then i'll be buried in the silence of the answer by myself

(Myself)
I ask why
(But in my mind I find)
I can't rely on myself

I can't hold on
(To what I want when I'm stretched so thin)
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
(Running against you, I can't win)
With thoughts of failure sinking in

How do you think I've lost so much
Always afraid that i'm out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to

Don't you (know)
I can't tell you how to make it (go)
No matter what I do, how hard I (try)
I can't seem to convince myself (why)
I'm stuck on the outside

(Hey)
She can't hide no matter how hard she tries
Her secret disguise behind her lies
And at night she cries away her pride
With eyes shut tight and staring at her insides
All her friends know why she can't sleep at night
All her family asking if she's allright
All she wants to do is get rid of this hell
Well all she's gotta do is stop kidding herself

She can only fool herself for so long
(She can only fool herself for so long)
She can only fool herself for so long
You're too weak to face me

I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me

When it comes to how to live his life, he can't be told
Says he got it all under control
Thinks he knows, it's not a problem he's stuck with
But in reality, it'd be a problem to just quit
An addict and he can't hold the reins
The pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
Tries to slow down the problem he's got
But can't get off the carousel until he makes it stop

He can only fool himself for so long
(He can only fool himself for so long)
He can only fool himself for so long
You're too weak to face me

I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me

Fly with me under the wings I gave you
Try to be closer to me and I'll save you
Fly with me under the wings I gave you
Try to be closer to me and I'll save you

Just follow me
I never know just why you run
And I'll show you what you wanna see
Just follow me
So far away, away from me
And I'll show you what you wanna see

I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me
I never know just why you run
So far away, far away from me

Ahh!
I hate you so much right now

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is powerful
Confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
(Beneath the surface)
Consuming (consuming)
Confusing (Confusing)
This lack of self control I found so overwhelming
(So overwhelming)
Controlling (controlling)
I can't seem
To find the strength within
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence Im convinced that theres just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure...

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is powerful
Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly has laid itself upon me
(Itself upon me)
Distracting (distracting)
Reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
(My own reflection)
It's haunting (its haunting) how I can't seem
To find the strength within
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence and Im convinced that theres just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure...

Rain Drops put the rhythm on the pavement
And drip from the black top into the basement
Traces of the rain prevade this
To erase your hate and take this from the fakeness

I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static
And put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering, I’m pretending to be where I’m not anymore
A little taste of hipocrisy
And I’m left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react
And even though you’re so close to me
You’re still so distant
And I can’t bring you back

It’s true, the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you’re not with me

I’m with you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)

I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor
The rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
But when things go wrong I pretend that the past isn’t real
I’m trapped in this memory
And I’m left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react
So even though you’re so close to me
You’re still so distant
And I can’t bring you back

It’s true, the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you’re not with me

I’m with you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
(Ughh)

No, no matter how far we’ve come
I can’t wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we’ve come, I
I can’t wait to see tomorrow

With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
With you
(You, now I see, keeping everything inside)
With you
(You, now I see, even when I close my eyes)
(Ughh)

Part of me won’t go away, everyday reminded how much I hate it
Weighted against the consequences
Can’t live without it, so insenseless
Want to cut it out of my soul and just live with a gaping hole
Pride myself and taking control of the situation
Responsible for it's creation
Hang my head low cause it’s part of me
You hardly see, right here in the heart of me
Hurting me, the roots old scar
New cuts over where the old ones are
And now I’m sick of this
I can’t stand the sandpaper thoughts that grate on my sanity
I’d rather not even be than the man that’s staring in the mirror through me

Cut myself free
(Willingly, stop just what’s killing me)
Cut myself free
(Willingly, stop just what’s killing me)
Cut myself free
(Willingly, stop just what’s killing me)
Cut myself free
(Willingly, stop just what’s killing me)

I feel it everyday
I feel I’ve made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me

Freedom can be frightening if you’ve never felt it
Once it’s been delt with
You feel like you've been touched by something angelic
And then melted down into a pool of peace
Cease to be the animal you used to be
Eradicate the paid pollution
Feel the rein of resolution
But then you start to see another piece of yourself that you can’t let be
Memories of the last fight to free yourself
Take you to the depths of the bottom of the well
So you know that you can choose to lose the part in your heart where your inside’s bruised
You can live if you’re willing to
Put a stop to just what’s killing you

Cut myself free
(Willingly, stop just what’s killing me)
Cut myself free
(Willingly, stop just what’s killing me)
Cut myself free
(Willingly, stop just what’s killing me)
Cut myself free
(Willingly, stop just what’s killing me)

I feel it everyday
I feel I’ve made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me

This part of me won’t go away
Part of me won’t go away

I feel it everyday
I feel I’ve made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me

I feel it everyday
I feel I’ve made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me
I feel it everyday
I feel I’ve made my way
I feel it swell up inside, swell up inside
Swallowing me

You can't run the race

You take away
If I give in
My life, my pride is broken

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
Storm bright in the sky
The sun will escape me
So why did I try
From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
Storm bright in the sky
The sun will escape me
So why did I try

From the thread to the needle, middle to end
When skies cock back and shock that which couldn't defend
The rain then sends dripping acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut, looking thought the rust and rotten dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours itself upon a world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its dark again

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
Storm bright in the sky
The sun will escape me
So why did I try

In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up

Moving all around
Screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
And as the wheels go round the sunset creeps past the street lamps, cars, chain links, and concrete
A window then grows and captures the eye
Prys out yellow light as it passes it by
A small black figure sits in front of a box
Inside a box a rock with the needles on top
Nothing stops in this land of the pain
The sane lose not knowing they were part of the game
And the inside changes and the box stays the same
In shame,you shovel up the pieces to the pain
You could try to hide yourself in this world of pretend
When the paper's crumbled up it can't be perfect again

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
Storm bright in the sky
The sun will escape me
So why did I try

In a minute you'll find me
Eyes burn me up
You say you'll never forget me
But the lies have piled up

Now I got you got in the act
You better step back
I'm telling you that I see it right through you
Now I got you got in the act
You better step back
I'm telling you that I see it right through you

[It starts with one]
And multiplies ‘til you can taste the sun
And burnt by the sky you try to take it from
But if it falls, there’s no place to run
Crumbling down, it’s so unreal
They’re dealing you in to determine your end
And sending you back again, the places you’ve been
And bending your will ‘til it breaks you within
And still they fill their eyes
With the twilight through the skylight
And the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeness
As I write this on a pad with the way I feel
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
As it’s seeming that you played your part
Like you’re heartless, take apart this
In the darkness but I know that

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

I’ve looked down the line
And what’s there is not what ought to be
Held back by the battles they fought for me
Calling me to be part of their property
And now I see that I get no chance, I get no break
Fakes and snakes quickly lead to mistakes
And as the tightrope within slowly starts to thin
I can only hope that they close their eyes
To the twighlight through the skylight
And the highlights on a frame of steel
See the brightness of your likeless
As I write this on a pad to the way I feel
Hear the screaming in my dreaming
As it’s seeming that you played your part
Like you’re heartless, take apart this
In the darkness, but I know that

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter

I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know

I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know

I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
For all this
There’s only one thing you should know

I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn’t even matter
