1. PENETRATE

I never used to give you half a chance
Without you I am not complete
You bring me comfort in my time of need
In you I seem to find some peace

They'll never penetrate my mind
I won't be led astray this time

Don't cast out things you aren't sure of
Tear down the Walls that you create
A little taste of inner healing
Never again will I forsake

They'll never penetrate my mind
I won't be led astray this time
They'll never penetrate my mind
I won't be led astray this time

Instead of knowing for themselves
They cast you out in disbelief
They don't know what you have to offer
They could experience relief

They'll never penetrate my mind
I won't be led astray this time
They'll never penetrate my mind
I won't be led astray this time


2. BROKEN

I can't explain
All these things
That go on with me

At times
I'd swear that
God has forsaken me

I'm feeling lost
And my world
Is turning upside down

I try to live
But it seems
Like I'm spinning round

Why do I always feel so broken?
I can't believe that I am broken
Why do I always feel so broken?
I can't believe that I am broken
Broken again...

All this drama
And strife
Keeps surrounding me

Years ago
I never guessed
That this is where I'd be

Sometimes I think
That I must
Have mad a wrong turn

I can't win
Cause it always seems
I'm getting burned

Why do I always feel so broken?
I can't believe that I am broken
Why do I always feel so broken?
I can't believe that I am broken
Broken again...

I've been broken
I've been broken
I've been broken
Broken Again...


3. NO ANSWERS / NO REASONS

So many times you ask me
What's my point of view?
I tell you time and time again
It doesn't matter I'm not you

Don't go by all the things
That people do or say
I offer this advice but
You don't listen anyway

You want to know what I would do
What makes you think I even have a clue?
You want to know what I would do
What makes you think I even have a clue?

Why bother speaking
When nobody gives a damn
What good are words when no one
Ever tries to understand

I just live my life
The best way that I can
I hold no cures or answers
Tomorrow has it's own plan

Why can't you grasp the fact
That we are who we are
The only difference is that we're
Wishing on different stars

You want to know what I would do
What makes you think I even have a clue?
You want to know what I would do
What makes you think I even have a clue?

No Answers...
No Reasons...
No Answers...
No Reasons...

You want to know what I would do
What makes you think I even have a clue?
You want to know what I would do
What makes you think I even have a clue?

4. GOD?

God?

Tonight's another night
I wander aimlessly
To put it all in place
A picture I don't see

And when I close my eyes
I don't care if I wake
I use the same excuses
I make the same mistakes

Sometimes it seems so hard
Like you're ignoring me
I wonder if you do exist
Than what you mean to me..

Sometimes I think you hate me
Sometimes I think you hate me

Is this some kind of test
Or way to make me see
There has to be a reason
Why it's happening to me

How much more to cry
Until I have a clue
The emptiness I'm feeling
Does it come down to you?

Show me everything
And tell me what to feel
My eyes have been so jaded
That I don't know what is real

Sometimes I think you hate me
Sometimes I think you hate me


5. D.F.L.

I'll prove to you that I'm a man
With my blood I'll take a stand
I welcome you with open arms
Have no fear I mean no harm

I know the weight of pain inside
Sometimes the only thing
That's keeping me alive
I got what it takes to make it through
I want you to know I'm down with you

Gotta drill it in your mind
Friends like me you'll never find
Words that cut deep like a knife
Just like brothers....Down For Life

I'll prove to you that I'm a man
With my blood I'll take a stand
I welcome you with open arms
Have no fear I mean no harm

I know the weight of pain inside
Sometimes the only thing
That's keeping me alive
I got what it takes to make it through
I want you to know I'm down with you

Gotta drill it in your mind
Friends like me you'll never find
Words that cut deep like a knife
Just like brothers....Down For Life
Down...For...Life...
Down...For...Life...
I'm down!!!


6. THE RULES

Tell me is it
Only me who
Thinks that this
Has gone too far?

All these rules
Keep closing in
And telling us
Just who we are

We live by the rules
We die by the rules
We live by the rules
We die by the rules

Make your moves
And play the game
Just don't let the game
Make your moves

I do my best
Yes its true
But I've got nothing
Left to prove

We live by the rules
We die by the rules
We live by the rules
We die by the rules


7. NUMB

On and on day to day
With games that you play
'Cause it comes down to
Things that you do and say

And it's all justified
When you're speaking your mind
But when I give my opinion
You think that I'm out of line

Too bad for you
We're shooting straight from the hip
And there's no way
To prove that we ain't legit

How can you know what we feel
When you're not in our head
It's time to chill with yourself and listen up instead

Don't try to play me like some fool
I don't' enjoy your games
You make us out to be so cruel
Because we don't see things your way

The example that you set
Is really warping me
Don't even have a clue
Just what you do to me

Everything I do
You seem to pick apart
I try to be sincere
Despite a change of heart

So push back attack
And be like the rest
You get a thought in your mind
And then you beat it to death

Is it too much to ask
Just to leave me alone
Haven't you heard of respect
Or do you have to be shown?

Don't try to play me like some fool
I don't enjoy your games
You make us out to be so cruel
Because we don't see things your way

One thing
That I've been wondering
Please tell me why
Everyone in the world
Has to be like you

All my life
Been someone on my back
Then you wonder
Why I'm so quick to attack

You never see things
From my point of view
It always seems to come down
To close-minded you

Yeah the scales
Are lifted from my eyes
It took me way too long
Just to realize

I'm no different than you
Nor do I think I'm above
But when it comes to your type
I got no feelings at all

Don't try to play me like some fool
I don't' enjoy your games
You make us out to be so cruel
Because we don't see things your way

One thing
That I've been wondering
Please tell me why
Everyone in the world
Has to be like you


8. BLEED ME DRY

You try to take it - all I have
Never releasing
At this point my chance of survival
Quickly decreasing

Nothing in my world you leave me
Yeah gone forever
Nursing the wounds that you've left me
Never recover

Bleed my dry
Bleed my dry
suck..........

your case you're preaching
I've heard it and I've discovered
How can you preach love
You've shown me you hate each other

Something in my mind don't seem right
I must be crazy
You think you can spit in my face
And it won't phase me

Bleed my dry
Bleed my dry
suck..........

Sucking the life out of everything
I hold sacred
Take all you want till your finished
And I'm left naked

Crushing my will to continue
So elegantly
Cover my mouth so I can't breath
You suffocate me

Bleed my dry
Bleed my dry
Suck...


9. DON'T COUNT ME OUT

Back, forth
In, out
Left, right
Everyday grind

Work yourself
To the bone
what have
We become

Got no life
So it seems
That I'm stuck
In a rut

Where's the light
That I seek
In this
Tunnel vast

I may be down
Don't count me out
I may be down
Don't count me out
I may be down
Don't count me out
I may be down
Don't count me out

Made some mistakes
In my life
That's ok
'Cause I learned
From the past
And I chose
Not to live the same

Beat me down
Day to day
Its my life
And I do

What I must
Scratch and claw
As if
To survive

I may be down
Don't count me out
I may be down
Don't count me out
I may be down
Don't count me out
I may be down
Don't count me out


10. BLIND

Blind.....
Open your eyes
Open your eyes

My eyes they see
The way it is
And the way it has to be for me
To survive in this world
Full of misery
Do you see the answers never come
Quite so easily
Be free
Forget who you were
Find out what you'll be

Open your eyes
Open your eyes

I'd die to see
A world where we could
Exist in harmony
And peace
The choice is ours
And the answer's up to
You and me
The time is now
So rid yourself
Of the slavery
Forget who you were
Find out what you'll be

Open your eyes
Open your eyes

Don't be so blind
You've been lied to your whole life
It's time to stand up for what's right

Will you ever learn in time?
I chose to take back my life
I chose to take back my life

Out of darkness into light
How can you expect to find
If you don't open your eyes???

Down inside
My soul it bleeds
And cries out for the ones just like you
With no relief I wish that I could just touch you and make you complete
The only way to get back up on your own
Two feet
Forget who you were
Find out what you'll be

Open your eyes
Open your eyes

Don't be so blind
You've been lied to your whole life
It's time to stand up for what's right

Will you ever learn in time
I chose to take back my life
I chose to take back my life

Out of darkness into light
How can you expect to find
If you don't open your eyes???

We're plastic all the time
You wear your mask and I'll wear mine
How it's to be
We all get hurt at times
You bear your cross and I'll bear mine
It's not what you see
It's what you ought to be

Open your eyes
Open your eyes

Don't be so blind
You've been lied to your whole life
It's time to stand up for what's right

Will you ever learn in time?
I chose to take back my life
I chose to take back my life

Out of darkness into light
How can you expect to find
If you don't open your eyes???

Don't be so blind...


11. DON'T LIKE

Don't like the way
You make me feel
Deep down inside

Don't like the words
You speak 'cause
It's no truth, only lies
Only lies...

You don't know me
You can't even show me
Respect that is due me
So you can just sue me

Don't like the way
You scream when
You think that you are right

Don't like the way
You push when
You just wanna fight

Don't like the way
You put your
Finger in my face

Don't like you
Anymore so
Get out of my space

You don't know me
You can't even show me
Respect that is due me
So you can just sue me

I tried to show you
Everything that's real
I tried to tell you
Tell you how I feel


12. SO VERY REAL

When I'm at my weakest
You make me strong
You're the only reason
I press on

You give me shelter
From the storm
The way you hold me close
And keep me warm

Sit and think about you all the time
Can't seem you get you off my mind

I know you're with me
By my side
I can feel the numbness
From inside

You give me shelter
From the storm
And now I know what I've missed
All along

Sit and think about you all the time
Can't seem you get you off my mind
Sit and think about you all the time
Can't seem you get you off my mind

Hey did ya know
For the first time
I can really feel?

Hey did ya know
More than ever
I know that your real
So very real
