Sooner Or Later
both of us too fucking stubborn. neither
is willing to give just a little. ramming our heads into nothing.
winning a war that is non-existent. sooner or later will we work
together? who knows? or will we resign to the fact that that's
just how it goes? you're seeing things in your own way. while
i'm seeing things in the opposite. and we think we're so fucking
different. unwilling to buckle or deal with it. sooner or later
will we work together? who knows? or will we resign to the
fact that that's just how it goes? sooner or later will we work together?

Sour Grapes
you say you hate all those kids now. you
can't relate to the things they say to you. you feel you've grown
far beyond them. you don't remember when you were like them.
and now you've grown up, you hate them. a bad case of sour grapes?
who knows? you better get used to this picture, cause there's way
more kids waiting in the hall. you don't remember the problems.
you just complain like your parents did at you. you swore you'd never
be like them, but now that you've grown up you're ten times worse.
and now you've grown up, you hate them. a bad case of sour grapes?
who knows? you better get used to this picture, cause there's way
more kids waiting in the hall. and now you've grown up, you hate
them. a bad case of sour grapes? who knows? you better
get used to this picture, cause there's way more kids waiting in the hall.

One Big Guessing Game
we're getting old, no big surprise. you stress
on it, and you despise. the fact that someday we all die and daily
you keep asking yourself why? just try and do your best. it's
all just one big guess. and make the best of things. you better
make it last. you're lazy, what's that all about? try walking
down some other route. so many questions, too many doubts.
but you just let them take you down and out. just try and do your
best. it's all just one big guess. and make the best of things.
you better make it last. wo oh oh oh... just try and do your
best. it's all just one big guess. and make the best of things.
you better make it last.
Best Friend
Every day I find it kicking in. I find that
thing I need and then begin. Inspired by a love that never ends.
I'm so glad that she is my best... friend. Friend. Friend.
Friend. Sometimes I get so down and out, whoa. I wanna scream,
I need to shout, whoa. But then the pieces start to mend, whoa, with
help and heart from my best... friend. Friend. Friend.
Friend. Every day I find it kicking in. I find that thing I
need and then begin. Inspired by a love that never ends. I'm
so glad that she is my best... friend. Friend. Friend.
Friend.
Slow Down A Second
hey there mister. you look at me and you
want an answer. you don't think about it. you take a lot but
you give back none. high expectations. it's give and take but
you're never giving. it's time you listen. why do you ignore
what your friends are saying? wo oh, slow down a second, hey what's
your hurry? wo oh, take some time to get your head on straight.
wo oh, slow down a little, hey what's your worry? wo oh, before you
regret it and it's too late. so, where is your fire? you run
around like there's no tomorrow. stop this bullshit. enjoy
the life that's in front of you. your new life is calling.
you've got your goals but you're never happy. wheels are spinning.
but now that rut is keeping you from moving. wo oh, slow down a second,
hey what's your hurry? wo oh, take some time to get your head on
straight. wo oh, slow down a little, hey what's your worry?
wo oh, before you regret it and it's too late. wo oh, slow down a
second, hey what's your hurry? wo oh, take some time to get your
head on straight. wo oh, slow down a little, hey what's your worry?
wo oh, before you regret it and it's too late.
Safety Net
you live your life on the internet. that's
where you are day and night. you talk you shit from behind that net.
where you're safely out of sight. i think it's bad, yeah it seems
so sad. cause now we hardly ever talk. you try replacing the
human face with the one living in a box. why don't you go to a real
life show. it's something that you won't regret. you'd rather
be on the irc and stuck inside your safety net. it shouldn't be so
damned destructive. why not share some info, insight? you're
way too caught up in the gossip. you'd rather talk shit every night.
i think it's bad, yeah it seems so sad. cause now we hardly ever
talk. you try replacing the human face with the one living in a box.
why don't you go to a real life show. it's something that you won't
regret. you'd rather be on the irc and stuck inside your safety net.
Change The Key
i never bother anybody. i stick myself and
keep my eyes set straight. won't be the one to bring you down.
cause it just wouldn't make me feel too great. some people crave
too much drama. caused by someone, something, all for what?
a psychological trauma. without a choice, sometimes that's all you've
got. wo oh oh, change my ways, yeah i'm still trying. wo oh
oh, it ain't easy, but i'm not crying. wo oh oh, change my plans
and my directions. wo oh oh, gotta change the key that makes this
person me. i've learned that patience is better. i take a breath
and count real slow to ten. why don't we try it together? we'll
make mistakes, get up and start again. don't feel a need to be violent.
i'm working with this rage inside of me. and i will never be silenced.
i'll try and use this rage to set me free. wo oh oh, change my ways,
yeah i'm still trying. wo oh oh, it ain't easy, but i'm not crying.
wo oh oh, change my plans and my directions. wo oh oh, gotta change
the key that makes this person me. wo oh oh, change my ways, yeah
i'm still trying. wo oh oh, it ain't easy, but i'm not crying.
wo oh oh, change my plans and my directions. wo oh oh, gotta change
the key that makes this person me.
F.O.F.O.D.
we don't have too much time now... to say too many
things. words all cramped up together. we'll do our best to
sing. wo oh oh oh, wo oh oh oh oh! and now we're almost finished...
the end is coming soon. just one more verse and chorus, but there
is no more room. wo oh oh oh, wo oh oh oh oh!
Message From A Friend

not convinced of that fact. you want to paint a depressing picture.

clear. i hope you'll finally understand. cause this is just
a song, another message from a friend. you're free to voice your
opinion. while i'm free to laugh in your face. you get along

let me make this loud and clear. i hope you'll finally understand.

This World Of Mine
1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4! no matter what you say.
no matter what you do. it makes no difference at all to me.
you do all that you can to grab the upperhand, but it won't make me change
the way i feel. in this world of mine there is room for change, but
i'll still keep my history. in this world of mine i will take the
time to strip away the mystery. 1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4! i'm happy
where i stand. things are looking up again. i'll enjoy it while
i can before it ends. and you'll keep on being mad. talk of
all the things you've had. maybe some day you will get them again.

You See The Flaws
i'm sure i'll be here tomorrow. i really
have no doubt. i'll live for today, find a better way. somehow
i'll work it out. i've contemplated the future. no, it's no
simple thing. but i can't waste time predicting what the future's
gonna bring. i know you find it hard to understand, wo oh.
you see the flaws all throughout my plan, wo oh. i know it seems
kind of strange to you, wo oh. but it's the way i have to see it
through, wo oh. you wanna forecast the outcome and what it means
to you. aware of that something you can't touch and that something's
haunting you. i know you're worried, somehow in a hurry, but why
not try instead to work on what's in the present before end up dead.
i know you find it hard to understand, wo oh. you see the flaws all
throughout my plan, wo oh. i know it seems kind of strange to you,
wo oh. but it's the way i have to see it through, wo oh. i

I See You Found Another Trophy
i watched you while you walked with her.
made sure she played her part, demure. she couldn't get a word in,
around you. you ask her where she's going to and who she's spent
time talking to. but you don't care what she's been going through.
another trophy, tough guy! someone to bully, tough guy! now
won't you hurry up, and die soon? your latest conquest, she's nothing
more. your part time punching bag and whore. she knows her
place and stays there, around you. surprised you even know her name.
you treat your women all the same. consistent in the pain you put
them through. another trophy, tough guy! someone to bully,
tough guy! now won't you hurry up, and die soon? i see you
found another trophy, tough guy! you're nothing but a fucking bully,
tough guy. another trophy, tough guy! someone to bully, tough
guy! now won't you hurry up, and die soon?
Good To Go
go! seems like the dark clouds have faded
and all that frustration is gone. i waited and waited for something
to come move this bad thing along. now i know that i'm good to go.
i can move far ahead. with this weight lifted off of me i can get
out of bed. go! days that feel so thick and heavy. they'll
always come and they'll go. it's best to get up and get something
done, even if things start up slow. now i know that i'm good to go.
i can move far ahead. with this weight lifted off of me i can get
out of bed. now i know that i'm good to go. i can move far
ahead. with this weight lifted off of me i can get out of bed.
Never Try
always complaning. it's something to do.
constantly crying about the way life's fucking you. the routine is
ugly. so boring and old. compared to some others at least you're
not out in the cold. i could tell you that i care and that i truly
understand, but that would only be a lie. i could wipe away the stain,
pretend that i can ease your pain, but that would only be a lie.
you're selfish and silly despite all that hype. forever bitching.
yeah, there's no doubt you've got a gripe. you're mad and defensive.
you're looking to blame whoever is near you. it's always the same.
i could tell you that i care and that i truly understand, but that would
only be a lie. i could wipe away the stain, pretend that i can ease
your pain, but that would only be a lie. always complaning.
