Don't Know

Walk past, don't smile, she's too good don't even try
Puts us down, thrown around, her feet can barely touch the ground
No one knows just what she's like, a girl who is so full of spite
The way she moves, the way she talks, can't even stop to watch her walk
The pressures building up and I don't know what to do
If I'm ever gonna try and get my hands on you
Don't know what to say when I walk with you
Don't know how to tell you how much I need you
I can't just let it out, I have to let you see
You've gotta hear this or I'll die for you
I love it when you speak, I love it when you cry
I wonder will I get a slot with you, oh yeah...
We've all got a secret hideaway
But with hers she can't seem to find a way
They say she's too good for you or me
And that she's not supposed to be our destiny
Too bad, so sad, when all I do is waste my time
With the pretty girl, and I say all the things that I think she wants to hear
And nothing but fear comes into my head, when I see her with her friends
But I'll keep on fighting 'till the end...
When she walks and leaves me there, the reality becomes so bare
One thing you can always bet, is that what she sees is what she gets

Darkened Grave

Lost and found within a narrow space of time
Conflict bears no truth for I have now gone blind
I've been taken from the place that I belong
Tie me up and punish me for all my wrong
As I crawl beneath the sea and meet you in the street
You will only pass by as I break down at your feet
Call me what you will, please lay an ear upon my sin
For you must dig the darkened grave to put my body in
Grey on grey, my figure stands below your back
Our hands clench tight as the ghosts start to attack
Circling the tomb the mist rolls through the air
Leaving corpses on the ground, dead, cold and bare
Evil is a game and you will never win
Evil is a game and you will never win
Evil is a game and you will never win
Evil is a game and you will never win...
Lay me down to rest and let me shut my eyes
I am safe within my box from all the lies
Rise up to the surface and begin to taste
Blood is life, and something I will never waste

Look What We've Become
03:46
|

You're a person who doesn't think but decides
To make accusations based on what's right
Left with nothing to cling to but imaginary fears
A sense of security but there's nothing here
Intoxicating the fools with your sweet aroma
But there's nothing sweet about a bitch in a coma
Misusing principles to get what you need
While taking for granted the hearts that will bleed
How much more can you believe?
When all your dreams have disappeared into a place unknown to you
There was a time when this was nowhere near, but we replaced our trust with fear
Now look what we've become
Look what we've become...
It was pretty damn hard to decide who was wrong
But now I can see that it was you all along
For what it was worth, we've got nothing to show
Now sleep is a myth you and I will never know
A sign of acceptance wrapped around your neck
But secretly inside you're an emotional wreck
Pictures of a life you once knew so well
As they torture you in your new living hell
You are the reason I smile, the reason I breathe
The reason I bother with life
Because you are my life
You are my reason for everything...

Three years, three years it would seem is enough
But don't you think that I can't see past your bluff
Oh honey you knew this was coming along
And so you hear me as I say my so long
Well who said that there wouldn't be pain
As I walk out from all this in vain
While outside I am wishing you luck
Inside I couldn't really give a fuck
Oh dear, what's happening, it's oh so saddening
I'll try to dignify, please can you signify
Exactly when we fell to shreds
I guess it's something evil inside our heads
Never mind, the fact that I have been so blind
To your little game of charades
Did you enjoy it? Did you employ it?
To get rid of me in some way
My dear I fear that our time has now come
It doesn't matter whose lost or whose won
"I'm sorry" is the only thing you can say
Lets play a game called going away
Something evil inside our heads
Evil inside our heads...
I didn't realize I had to stand in line to get a kiss from you
And who knew holding hands was such a controversial thing to do
If you and me were meant to be this wouldn't end in tragedy
Now say it loud and say it proud that you don't wanna stay with me

Monster

You were my conscience, so solid, now you're like water
And we started drowning, not like we'd sink any further
But I let my heart go, it's somewhere down at the bottom
But I'll get a new one and come back for the hope that you've stolen
I'll stop the whole world, I'll stop the whole world
From turning into a monster and eating us alive
Don't you ever wonder how we survive?
Now that you're gone, the world is ours
I'm only human, I've got a skeleton in me
But I'm not the villain, despite what you're always preaching
Call me a traitor, I'm just collecting your victims
And they're getting stronger
I hear them calling, I hear them calling...
Well you find your strength in solution
But I liked the tension
And not always knowing the answers
But you're gonna lose it, you're gonna lose it...

Teenagers

They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do
Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
Cause they got methods of keeping you clean
They're gonna rip off your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine
They say that teenagers scare the living shit out of me
They could care less as long as someone'll bleed
So darken your clothes
Or strike a violent pose
Maybe they'll leave you alone
But not me
The boys and girls in the clique
The awful names that they pick
You're never gonna fit in much kid
But if you're troubled and hurt
What you got under your shirt
Will make them pay for the things that they did
