Les paroles

1. WHAT'S TO COME

When will you look and see my pain.
Will you come back again today.
Don't put me through this living hell again.
You left me once before.

Why I'll never know, now you're coming back, but I... I just can't let go cause you did this to me
Don't you try to put aside the past, this could work... we can make this last but I can't forget the pain you put inside of my heart.

I've always wondered why you left me all alone and when I needed help.. I... found it on my own.
You passed up on us you passed up on me, what's to come of all that's left ?

Will there be better days ? This is your last chance, tell me... if you'll ever change.

Now! I want to know if you'll ever change, then maybe we can rearrange What's left... what's left... what's left... what's left behind.


2. NETWORK

Big mouth, behind a wall, Talk but they don't know.
Behind the screen your world revolves, rumors, lies, whadoes that solve.

Is it envy / Vexation, or is it just a lack of trust ?
Jealousy proves you to be the fool! Sit back and read the lies, false facts are all you'll find, mislead harmful intent, damage the innocent.

You talk like you know everything, you think you know what we're about, so tell me why do you continue to spread gossip !

When you know you have no clue you abuse the right to spear your mind, wish you'd give up wasting my time.

You tried your best, we proved you wrong, came out on top now look who's strong.

Think before you act soon.


3. INSIDE OUT

Although you never show it I can see you hurt inside, there's a problem don't ignore it, for only so long you can hide.

You've got friends like me, Who'll be there to spite what you might think, keep it all inside of you and watch your hopes just slip away.

Where will you go?
What will you be?

You'll never know what you can achieve, you've got a choice make the best of it.

Take the right approach
Don't you ever quit

Take the time and you will find what's right for you.

Don't let life pass you by, stay on track and follow through, time's too short so don't think twice.

Listen up, take this advice, we'll be there we're on your side.

Count on us, you can confide, we're on your side Inside Out!

You can confide Inside Out!


4. DON'T LOOK BACK

Run... run from those dreasms that haunt you, escape from those lies inside you and never turn around, just look right beside you.

I won't force my feelings if you want help from me, I'll lend a hand guiding you to see that we understand, we do.

We've all been there before and we've learned from our mistakes, break free from the tension, place yourself in the present, focus on what you have you gotta move in the right direction.

You'll see what's to be gained if you want help from me.
I'll lend a hand guiding you to see that we understand, we do.

You can count on us, still you're left searching, your mind is turning, searching for... Answers.

But they're right where you can see.


5. DECIDE

I made a choice I won't regret, the feeling inside I will never forget.
Rejection is something we all must go through, was it what I did or did not do? We started it all out too soon too fast, should have known from the start it would never last, the choices that we make inside Dictate the way we live our lives.

Why can't you see it was yourself, You are the one who,s wrong and no one else, the choices that we make, the promises we break, are all our own mistakes.


6. WRAPAROUND

Wraparound, what goes around comes back around.

Now you save yourself when you look deep down inside, you see someone else, all those times we needed you, your absence caused us to doubt your trust, your loyalty, our faith in you.

Now you can't escape, was it worth all the fuss? Now you've lost all that counts that's the price you'll have to pay.

You've lost it all, it's slipping away.
Forsaken by us, How does it feel?
Back, it's coming back, How does it feel ?

Tobe all by yourself.


7. PLAY IT SAFE

Play it safe, keep your cool, don't rush in, don't be a fool.

The time to think, that time is now, The consequence you can't allow.

You have to know yourself, you have to have control or the aftermath will prove to hurt your inner soul.

The evidence is there, showing you the way, if you ignore the facts, you won't see another day.

Play it fucking safe!


8. ALONE AND NOW

It won't happen to us what happened to them.

If what we have is real then we'll... we'll make those changes and work, we will... something is different in us... than them.

Something is different with you, we'll rearrange for the better, we'll strive to reach what is right, we'll find a way to finally reach our goal, to climb those obstacles.

When it's up to us, we'll find a way.
But still were trapped between the walls, We have to break away.

From those inner fears and concentrate on what is real, commitment... what does it mean to you?

What others seem I try to make... things work, slowly it all falls apart, I start to question its worth, who do I turn to for help?

It's up to us, we'll find a way but still we're trapped between the walls, we have to break away.
From those inner fears and concentrate on what is real, on what is real.

But we're still trapped, we can't get out, these walls are closing, still no one knows, they're closing in, what happens now?


9. FALSE THE FACTS

While ignoring the present, you live in the past, the t-shirt you're wearing, Is fading quite fast.
You yearn to be part of something you're not, yesterday's glories you must have forgot.

You weren't there, so why should you care, the music gets prejudged and it's just not fait when I see the way you choose to be.

You're living in your own fucking fantasy, secluding us from all your blinding views! Cause what we preach might not hold true to you, obstructive obstacles can't keep us strong.

We've worked so hard... been trying for too long, face the facts!


10. HOPE

Never trusted you right from the start, broken promises grew us apart, thought we'd be together right from the start? Now I never want to ever see you again.

Trusted you but now my hope is gone, all the memories left far beyond.

Hope is gone, lost all trust, Hope is gone, Neglection is a must.
Hope is gone, treated you as if you were god, your disrespect has left me scarred.

All those nights spent talking alone, all those secrets shared no one had known.

Hope is gone, Lost all trust.
Hope is gone, neglection is a must.

Hope is gone.


11. TRANSPARENT

Depend on your friends for your place in life, choke on your words, now you're nothing.

You can't complain, never could sustain.

Why hold your beliefs, all for nothing, we put faith in you now we see right through.

Fake is what you are, one day you'll fall.
Lied to my face, watch you fall from grace, words you know you never meant.

A word you said, I'll never let you get to me, you're words ring hollow, your actions are transparent, like those who follow Your motives are apparent.

Never worked for anything, well it was all always handed to you.

One day you'll see how it feels, when it all comes back to haunt you.


12. UNITED

United we stand, divided we fall, we're all stuck in this fuckin world after all.

We must come together, stand as one, When all is... said and done.

How can I escape from lifes reality, must get away from this world that surrounds me.

Must isolate myself from my humanity and pull together within, to gain my sanity.


13. TANGIBLE

It's a question of truth and a matter of honesty when a straight answer is the only thing we need.
Hidden behind all the imagery of close-minded personal views, and a man-made creed.

Well it's true we don't know where the truth lies, how can we be sure that it's in their eyes.

How do we know what they really stand for, what we need is something just a little bit more!

Tangible.
What's to see in an empty sky.
We look up just to find out why.

Search for something we can't reach on our own we must relearn what they preach, It's a man-made thing...

exaggerated.
Prophecized... and majestrated.

There is a lesson that must be learned but when you argue it you just get burned, the question... the answer... no one knows, The key can be found in our souls.

Well it's true we don't know where the truth lies, how can we be sure that it's in their eyes, how do we know what they really stand for?

So give us something that is just a little more.


14. WE WON'T FORGET

You were there right from the start one of the few who had true heart, always there to help us out, showed us all what it's about.

You're in our hearts, and in our minds, and in our souls, we won't forget the things you've done for us, we won't forget, never forgot the struggle.

Cause you came from the streets your influence has hit us hard, as one there will be no defeat.

We looked in the mirror and saw you as a friend, from the lower east side to skinhead youth, your spirit will never endYoung and old, yes still the same.

Eternal youth.
We shared the flame.
We won't give up.
You know we won't give in.

The battle is on, so let's... begin!
You're in our hearts, and in our minds, and in our souls!

We won't forget!
