For Better, For Worse
Sitting alone, in the rain, one day you came and
sat by me. when i looked up, you smiled and said hello and i saw
your pretty face. i never knew what it would be. i never knew
you'd care for me. when i think of how it's changed, for better or
for worse, we'll have to see. all those times you looked at me that
way. and i know everything will be ok. thinking of your smile,
it hurts to see you cry. all those times that you were sad, you never
told me why. i know that we are still growing, not knowing what's
to come. but only GOD knows what HE has in store for us.
East On Tracks
thrown out in the cold again. "we don't have
a place for you here." you did everything shy of call me stupid.
why not take this comfort away. you've got everything else.
don't worry about me, i'll be fine. it's all right now, i've found
my way. no thanks to you i'll be ok. you've showed me how to
mistrust. no thanks to you i'll be ok. could you come and walk
with me and help me not to stray? i need your strength to guide me.
so show me how to trust and to know faith. i've paid a price i know,
not standing up for my beliefs. what's inside won't be held back.
i know that with your love i will find peace.
The Last Round
i wish you could see the look on your face, so
disgusted with the words i say. i'm not trying to change your mind.
come to find, you're talking when you should be listening to yourself.
stars in your eyes so bright, you can't see the way down. i'll turn
the lamp on to light the way. watch your mouth be careful what you
say. your only friend might turn out to be your worst enemy.
"you're wrong," you tell me. why can't you prove it?
it seems you're stuck deep in your ways. you can't hear me, you're
not listening. why do we have to have the same ideas? conflicting
personalities. why do i have to be like you?
Fool Me No More
what makes you think you're fooling me? do
you think i was born yesterday? when i look at you all that i can
see is what you try to be. why can't you just stop acting like you
care? "cause you don't know what you are saying." nothing keeps
you up at night. 'cause you don't know what you are saying, but you
think it's right. you try to pretend that you're still my friend,
but i know you're not. all those times you said you would be there.
just go lie to someone else now. i can see right through your shallow
lies. you can't fool me no more.
Late Night Showing
when i look at all that has been given to me, i'm
so greatful for all that we've shared. i can't imagine living life
without you. where would i be if you didn't care? i know i'm
truly blessed to have you in my life. i wish i could give back as
much as you have given me. you're there for me when i wake up.
you're there for me when i fall asleep. sometimes i don't act how
i should, but you still love me. i wish i could do more to show you
my respect. i wish i could do more.
Away With You
how do you think i felt, that day i made up for
all your mistakes? you never think of consequences, carelessly destructive,
you fall down. i can see you sitting there. wish that you could
see yourself. i wish i knew what was going on inside, i'd just be
sickened more. why don't you open your eyes? you're not all
you think you are. your selfishness is getting on my nerves.
why don't you go away. forgetting all that you've been taught, is
this the way you treat your friends? I've dealt with you for long
enough. when will it end? i hope that this is just a phase.
i'll be there for you in the end. i'll be there when you finally
come around... but for now... and don't come back. have you ever
known what you were looking for?
When Does It End?
taking my time, i thought i had learned how to
deal with all the changes in my life. things were going the way i
had planned, one more thing was thrown at me. when does this heartache
and pain ever end? as long as i'm not by myself i know i'll be ok.
it seems like every time things were going ok, life throws me a curve.
i stop for a second and ask myself, am i ever gonna make it through.
Responsible
responsibility, sensibility. how many things
have escaped you? could try and show concern? maybe help
me understand. all your friendships are in trouble, you're getting
lost in the shuffle. but i'll still be there, even though things
aren't the same. i'll still be here when all is said and done.
your personality, it wears on me. how many times have i told you
that you could be more than you try to be? how can you laugh at all
your problems? seems that they won't go away. you think life's
a game and everything's a joke. i'll be there when you're not, just
like it's always been. and i know you'll come running back, like
things are the same.
Call For Ambulance
you thought you had it all figured out. you
had a plan for everything you would face. what happens now when it
just won't work out? you can't run from what you've gotten into now.
but don't lose hope, it's not all over now. it's not too late, there's
still time to change. it's not the way it has to end up. you
need someone to help pick you up. you're gripped by fear and you
start to give up. excuses made for all your mistakes. procrastination
will be your end, unless you crawl out of this hole you've dug.
Fulfilling
the life's torn from you, there is nowhere to turn.
you're all alone, you feel hollow and empty. nothing you can do can
supress the heartache that you feel. the only strength you have is
used to cry in misery. could you fill the hole you've made inside
your heart, when you can't erase your past mistakes? they say that
everything happens for a reason. but nothing on this earth will make
the sorrow go away. your thoughts are filled with emptiness and despair.
but just have faith and GOD will show you grace.
Clenched Fists, Black Eyes (7 Seconds cover song)
You say you're scared, we're not to blame cause
mindless violence ain't our claim, A new breed's here, we're gonna stay,
And break down all your shallow ways cause we are the new kids, We've got
our heads, We'll keep on fighting, til old ways are dead. Clenched
fists, black eyes! We're aiming for a different goal, Succeeding
where the hippies failed. But one thing's sure and you can bet, We'll
be more than a drugged-out threat!
Parting Ways
tired again, when will it turn around? wound
up tight and ready to unwind. turn it around one more time.
it's getting older each and every day. i found the other way to go
now. the sun sets tomorrow but i won't be there. i'll let you
know, before i go, without you. all alone, by myself to escape the
bitter tongue. behind my back they're talking trash. and i
don't even care. the sun sets tomorrow but i won't be there.
i don't know what happened, too much has changed.
Learn To Unlearn
i'm worn out again. feel the weight of the
world crashing down on me. teach me how to let it go. my walk
has turned to a crawl. i'm on my hands and knees. how do i
get up? when did it get so hard to make it through a day? when
i was a child everything just went away. and all i've learned is
nothing stays the same. and all i've learned is nothing stays but
change.
Silence (hidden track)
now i have always wondered, how i can stand upon
your shoulders? look around and never see a thing. it always
seems confusing. your jokes are never amusing. you can talk
and talk and never say a thing. we could fall below and never make
a sound. the truth is frightening now. will we ever get out?
you always try to listen and for that gift i feel threatened by the high
esteem i hold you, it hurts so much. i wipe the dust off of my face.
it's all that's left of my dreams misplaced. i find it hard to believe
you could take much more.
