-Peaceful Day-
Listen up everyone there's something wrong We got the answers in our sights now But somehow still we struggle along Looking for solutions in a threatening sky But we never get an answer Just a chorus of voices wondering why We're stuck here without a peaceful day It's a promise in the night I'll be okay The superlative is telling me that help is on the way Won't someone tell me how will I make it through today Looking towards the future and all I can see Is the next generation looking back With pity on me Hunting for some insight or mean to change But do we have the will to or will our Future look the same How can I live when you won't let me in How can I die without reasons why How can I laugh when I want to cry How can I go on with nothing nowhere How will I make it
-Waste Of Time-
I've got a question for all you sinners Have you ever wondered is this all there is to life? A quick adventure not much to mention A slow procession leading us to die Or is there a heaven a distant valley A golden meadow waiting for us in the sky No one right answer spirit seems broken Still I just can't help but wonder why Seems like a tragic waste of time Who cares what happens when you die? Life's too short to wonder why Get on with your life In towering churches and holy temples They all conspired to tell me how to live my life But no religion or new theism Could ever provide proof to quench my mind And now I wonder whos's sky I'm under Is there a heaven waiting for me when I die No one right answer spirit seems And still I can't help but wonder why So many questions I can't tell the difference Too many abstract thoughts now wrestle in my mind But through the darkness somewhere should be waiting A final truth to shower me with light Their pearls of wisdom and tales of glory They fed me nicely until I found it was all a lie No one right answer spirit seems broken And still I can't help but wonder why
-Perfect People-
All the perfect people shallow and deceitful Staring back at me on tv in magazines look so good like a box of fresh twinkies What the hell happened to me? So I took a drive to a rich and wealthy country Saw everything I wanted and everything I need Went right up and tried to join their party You oughta seen the look when they saw me Fucked up eyes stupid grin Perfect people won't let me in Who's who list where's my name They won't let me join their game I bet that you think that I'm insane There's no one left for me to blame Screw the perfect people Fuck they all look the same We're not much to look at Too short dumb and so fat Never gonna win a beauty pageant its a curse Always gonna be a better doorman At the best clubs How could things be any worse? Don't have much to go on don't want your opinion Don't have much to gain and I ain't got much to lose Looks like you got it all and I'd really like to Get some You got something I could use
-Every Single Day-
See all the people longing to be Living their lives regretlessly Trying to repress the pain in their lives Reassuring themselves living with lies No way to break through not on my own Can't push away all the sorrow I've known Have to release every thought or care And take control life is a dare I can start over today Live my life a different way Can't find a way to erase bad times to make Everything OK I'll start over and live every single day Regrest and memories no remorse no apologies No reason for me to despair no future at all Ask if I care I got time on my side twenty four hours in my life Can't hang on to what's in my past Full speed ahead hard and fast At the end with each dropping sun Can't erase what has been done who cares What happened long ago I don't want to know Can't face tomorrow with these thoughts Of yesterday I can't escape the lies and make them go away Wish I had the answers to make it through Can't shake these images no matter what I do I guess I'll use them to make me a stronger man I'll use each Twisted tortured memory to help me understand And I will learn From mistakes that everone makes I've got To find a way I guess I'll have to live with them every single day
-Searching -
Can't run can't hide No one here gets out alive It don't get better that's the best you're gonna get The deal is in now place your bets Can't eat can't sleep Knowing that nothing's gonna satisfy me Another blip on a television screen Among an ocean of stars Tonight I will rage against the forces of fate You best get outta my way I'm not gonna fade away slowly Inside my mind is a clock tick-tocking time Not gonna stop until my last days done You wanna try me well come get some Tempt fate can't wait I gotta get out there's no time to hesitate Not gonna waste it with the cynical fools Can't bring me down And if you wanna try this disposition Sacrifice all you knew Sanitize your religion Take your life and renew and do what you wanna do
-Not Far Away -
Hey it's my time To change my direction in life just by reading the signs Hey it's my turn To see how many of my bridges will burn I feel something breathing down my neck Thought of tomorrow's got me like a nervous wreck No time for sorrow it's your judgement day It's not far away It's not far away There's a shiny coffin for you to rot in And waste your days It's not far away Hey I got something to say Before the spirit of life starts slippin' away I'm not gonna end my life Wishing for one more chance again to get it right I hear voices echo from the grave Whispering softly it's your judgement day Hey I won't rest in peace Until this world is sick of hearing from me Hey get outta my way I got alot more living to do before my judgement day
-Freebase -
I got some shit for sale you oughtta get some You'll be the highest guy that ever lived It might kill you man you won't even know it I can feel your best sense starting to give You take the chance you lose control The lessons from your past you need to know Take one more hit of base That shit is gonna blow up in your face Ripping glass shards through your heart You got a problem man you ought to fix it You think you're geting high well guess again Until it's too late well you wont even know it You better stop before you hit a dead end When I see you out on the street A different story everytime we meet You been hanging with a different crowd Your acting tough and your talking loud It's getting worse for you every single day A bad habit and it won't go away Where you gone where's my best friend I can't help you cause you won't let me in
-It's What You Do With It-
Too mich time in this same place got to get out An undenying feeling I gotta get away Too many thoughts in one space I've finally had it A dream now takes to a secret place that lies So far away It's what you do with it it's what you've waited for And when you find it a place where no one has been before I know I gotta listen to my mind 'cause if it happens to me Sometimes Finda place where you can go where nobody knows Nobody knows Gone and without a trace I'd like to have it Taking only with me good dreams of yesterday And my best friend whom with I'll share this journey Our mental bags are packed 'cause we're leaving here today It's whatyou do with it It's what you've waited for
-Try-
You've been looking for me in the most obvious places Still I'm nowhere to be found I'm perched atop the highest buildings in the city And I'm inrigued as I look down All the ants below share the same comfortable existence But they still wear the same frown What ashame that they can't see the beauty That's surrounding them when there's so much around Try don't choose to walk away There's a part within your soul it just takes Time to find it When you try take time and seize the day Cause after today's gone You'll never have the chance again So try While I sit here with so many thoughts I'm listenign to the rain Falling to the ground I'm just hoping somday soon all thge unhappy people find Solace in the sound And listen to the old cliches that all the elders say That life goes by too fast I just wish there was some way that I could stop the clock And make the good times last Don't throw it all away no one day's just the same You must realize it's all in your mind Don't emphasize the pain on one particular day If you feel you're starting to slide Just pull yourself together Remember all that matters is you try
-Same Old Story-
It's patience trying when you tell me how to live Well you don't know anything Your expectations are wearing thin You won't even take a look to see another way You aren't even listeing Take your ideals and go away I'm cut from the same mold I don't read from the same old story I'm not cut fromthe same mold Don't know who you think I should be I'm not cut from the same mold I don't read from the same old story I'm not cut from the same mold Done with yours I'm living life for me Tell me father, did I turn out so bad Didn't I look up to you Took every piece of advice you had Go to school get a job Send me on your way You aren't even listening Take your dreams and go away For so longI have tried to understand The qualities you thought made up a real man Now it's time for me to find out for myself I'm getting fed up I don't need your help You never listen to both sides of the story You never listen you won't listen to me
-I Won't Have It-
A model brother a model dad A model citizen has somehow turned out bad Pledging allegiance to another flag Lifelong devotion to a man they think was far from mad A written word from they think their peers A little propaganda they became white warriors Bred on deception and bred on fear They don't hear the barrage of lies That pass right theough their ears When your head feels like its real close to imploding And your life is revolving around hate All that shit your brain is overloading With help from papers and magazines Another sheltered boy chooses what he will not see Views so distorted how can this be When the love for hate is the basis for reality Another headline anotehr bash Another harmless victim beaten up and not for cash Insanity well when will it end if you don't give it up You'll never have the chnmace to make ammends You cannot keep it all inside You've got to leave it all behind You got a bullet in your head It's time to make a stance now make it A bloody picture, psychotic dream Choosing to follow the worst lesson in all history Just get a future yeah get a life cause if you don't Instead of mourning there'll be celebrating when you die
-Killing Time-
On my tv, violent actions race across my screen A world of hate staring at the rise in murder rate I can't believe what we've become Is all hope lost to everyone? A bettered wife waits for us to hear Her screams tonight A child of war wonders what we're all fighting for I look and think how can this be? What causes all our suffering? Eyes wide open we can't see I can't understand it's out of hand To me we're all just killing time Killing time Killing time - we're running our lives Religious right-is buying up guns for A hell of a fight Another victim lies in pain A serial killer waits for fame Have we all gone insane? I can't understand it's out of hand To me we're all just killing time Killing time I can't believ There's got to be Some way to break through I think that I - will have to try - I'll lose my mind We're all killing time Why?
