Lyrics

1. INTRO

(instrumental)


2. NO GIVING IN

Sometimes when I sit there and scream out my guts
You know you cannot hear a thing
Psycho extremities, masturbation
Breath down the streets, fall my head
Fall through my head
Roll through my head
Never give in

[Chorus]
It should have been, it could have worked
I don't see no reason why
It could have been, it should have worked
To each their own sacrifice

Sometimes I will swim through the feces I leave
I spit up your disease
Faking me out, taking me down
Liquor me up you're sticking around
I can't see your disease; I can't hear what you hear
But you see me falling to your weak needs

[Chorus]

I hate you (tell my lies)
I hate you more than before
I hate you much more than before

[Chorus]


3. BOMB BOTTOM

People like to say that they know what they talk about
So many times I have said something like this
Just because of something that they heard a play on words
In the middle of the crosshairs I've earned
Take away all my respect and all my dignity
Leave me with the fact of knowing it doesn't mean a thing
Don't have to explain to me

[Chorus]
I am, we are (all target's in the crosshairs)

I want to tell you that I'd like to see you come around
I'd like to tell you that I miss you when you are not
Here
I know you battle a wet demon and you often lose
It doesn't matter to no one
Don't have to explain to me

[Chorus]
I am, we are (all target's in the crosshairs)

Come a little bit closer to me, get up closer to me
Keep in check with your mind
Spite me, pain free, call me useless
You'll see, blindly, you've been so foolish!

[Chorus]
I am, we are (all target's in the crosshairs)


4. ONLY HUMAN

[Pre-Chorus]
So far alive, unconscious sigh
So far a miss here

Read about it and lived all the time
All the while, bigger smiles
Traveled through the world in their prime
Around their block, through the neighborhood
Where you first delayed, was when it's understood
Your life was rearranged and insane

[Pre-Chorus]
So far alive, unconscious sigh
So far a miss here

I'll be the one who shot someone
Belated sun cast light on none
Always a war upon my own lethal injection
Talk about disease control
No one can help me no more
But I thought I was the one in control
I was, but I can't say no more...

[Chorus]
I am what I am, I am only human
And I disregard the truth
I am what I am, I am only human
Now these dreams are haunting you

[Pre-Chorus]
So far alive, unconscious sigh
So far a miss here

[Chorus]
I am what I am, I am only human
And I disregard the truth
I am what I am, I am only human
Now these dreams are haunting you


5. LAST TIME AROUND

I try to find something new
I watch the time fly in my head
Slowing me down, feeling so strong
The same old shit from the last time around
Deceived in the way I seem complete
Now I know just what they mean

[Pre-Chorus]
I've got to find a new way to feel alive

[Chorus]
Tearing me down, focus on what I have missed
So deceived in the way I seem so complete
I need no disguise I'm stepping from this
I've got to find a new way to feel alive

I've had too much time to think about it
Because everything's running around in my head
Running around in my head
I'm out of my head
Now I see what they mean

[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]

It's in the way
It's in the way you live
It's in the way
It's in the way talk about it

(CHORUS X2)


6. PIECES

The bigger they are, the harder they fall
Where are you now in this mess you have made?
I'm leaving you here, to fend your own
I cannot help I am already gone

[Chorus]
Pieces of dreams cannot kill the touch only the mind
These little pieces of things I've grown to hate so much

Delivered and burned, you see how it works
I could explain, but I'd feel like a jerk
I close my eyes and feed your pain
Helpless ritual, ritual habits sustained

[Chorus]
Pieces of dreams cannot kill the touch only the mind
These little pieces of things I've grown to hate so much
What about the de-compassion that is in the movement on the wheels
That we ride?

(AFTER CHORUS)
Can I believe that I need someone, to make me feel like I am special?
To lie beneath a snail with no one, and feel like a million voices
With a poor excuse I'm guilty, with the blood on my hands you'll see
Hide in the ruins that you've ruined, when you couldn't see

Running lost intertwined with a weak compromise, lacking a soul
With the will to survive

REPEAT
[Chorus]


7. BECAUSE OF YOU

Place me under helpless
Something that I can't ignore
Break down - give in - find the place I need to be
Never be the same again to me
And it's been a waste of time to me
And it's been a waste of time...

Try to reach out my grasp
Hard to find the words to tell you
In our way we've become our own slaves and
Never be the same again

[Chorus]
Because of you
I never wanted it to be the way it's been before
It'll never be the same and life dosen't change

And it's been a waste of time, to me


8. NOTHING TO REMEMBER

When I cannot see at all
When I cannot scream your name
I believe there's something more to what you explain
In the time it takes to break
What happens here it won't break these chains we've made
When we can altogether run
And trip on what's perceived and long for a better way out

[Chorus]
Open the door and I'll wave you goodbye
It's been hard enough knowing you're my demise
Blinded by my sense of misfortune
Your face telling lies with mistakes in disguise

In a world that seeks out lies
I fall into a certain page
And accept the faults I've done
Find strenght to carry one

In the time it takes to break
What happens here it won't break these chains we've made
To carry on

[Chorus]

Do you think you're an angel inside?
You think you're an angel in sight

[Chorus]

Do you think you're an angel inside?
You think you're an angel in sight


9. SERENITY REIGNS

Before I lost everything I ever had, I had nothing
In the time I killed my pride, a severed hand slapped my face
I don't pity the weak just because they don't come through for me
The time you waged and lost has no guarentee

[Chorus]
Serenity reigns
Mourn the time you lost and you'll lose everything
Serenity reigns
Mourn the time you got and you'll be through with me
We'll just wait and see

By the time I reach you, you will be one step ahead
Cheating ways that represent the space where we all will dance
Soap opera blunders, caught under covers
So filled with cold happiness, overjoyed through these meager times

[Chorus]

This darkness waits
I can see your fears that bleed
You can't hide, you can hide from me

I'm not waiting for you


10. HIGHER TIDES

I'm leaving today, hopes for a better way
Taking it one breath, one step at a time
Never feeling that I won't get by
And soon as I get mine

[Chorus]
AHH - easy life worth easy blood
AHH - out of reach without no one
AHH - easy life worth easy blood
AHH - easy life
I didn't see that coming, I didn't see them coming

All without warning, falling fast asleep
Awaken to lost whispers in a dream
Taking nothing that's given to me
Now get away from me, let me sleep or rest in peace

[Chorus]

I walked up the edge of this bad side
I kneeled before my maker I thought
Silently lashed out to leave alone
She sat there and cried

[Chorus]

Higher tides


11. A PART OF ME

I'm the same person as before and I lead my life without
Change
If someone were to ask I would still say the same

[Chorus]
It's not a task it's just a dream
A dream that's so apart of me

When I think back to that day, my obsession to feel complete
It's the same as I said before; It'll never leave me

[Chorus]


12. TAKEN ASIDE

Let me know when this boiling point has arrived

I don't want to break it down
I'm inclined to let it end
Call me out, I'll meet you there
Right here, right now
Hit you up beside your head
Hit you cause you deserve it
Inclined to let it in
Right now, right here

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I wonder what you were trying to declare
Loud as thunder, authorities pull ranks again
One last embrace then I'll be on my way

[Chorus]
Pull me around, take me aside
Let me know when this boiling point has arrived
I don't know what you've been told
Kinda funny when I look at you getting cold

What you get is what you see
What I need I'll take for free
Borderline on madness after words of last calling
I feel the heat of movement through my veins
I accelerate the poisen entering

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]

One to another, this could end in a better way
Let these bygones be bygones
Nothis more to say

[Chorus]


13. PULL OUT

So just pull out!
Run out the door, jump out of the window
You're right back to where you started before
Before you know, you'll be miles from here, and then you'll be
Miles from them
And then you will not go until they reject your pampas stare

[Pre-Chorus]
You block m punch should my lunge
Eat my fuck and steal my blood money honey
I've got to give it to you back

[Chorus]
Believe me when I simplify
The stakes are high and so am I
I once was told not to be afraid
I once was told not to be...

The deliverance of something that great Isn't all that
So just pull out
Can't get away from you every where I go there you are
I try to steal your shoes every time I try you get a criminal eye
That peers right though my soul
As if you would have known what was coming next

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

You'll point to issues past
A somber riddle dance
When there's a price to pay now it's gone
Some heavy rain comes down
Your interest turned around
I can't help you in the shadow if you cannot see
I'm not the one with no bullets and gun
Bleeding the hearts that disgraces beside you
You are the one that's committed these things
While in you're in flight
Pull out!! Pull out!!
I'm the worst that you'll find
Pull out!!
You're the salt of the spice

[Chorus]

How could you pull out on me?
