Missing The Innocence
I wish I wasn't waiting This place gets smaller
everyday We all have characters and we know the parts we play We're actors
and actresses That's all, please take me away I just want to start over
There are things I'd like to change I miss the innocence, when the doors
all stood wide open The sun's gone down on better days If I let you know,
nothing can last forever I never thought everything would change If I let
it go, nothing can last forever I never thought everything would change
Well maybe I did, just not today I never though that things would change
I miss the innocence.
Full House
It's all in the shuffle, the deck stacked against
you "Place your bets, it's your last chance!" Then you fold your
hand before you play the game You never want to sacrifice Because to you
its all unfair So wear that poker face and try to shrug it off If seeing
is believing then you might as well be blind Because the searching leaves
you faithless And the outcome undefined But you still wait for something,
for someone, to let you down You're losing again There's never a question
it all goes unnoticed There's nothing to risk or to gain You're so used
to being used to everything Still, you never want to sacrifice Because
to you its all unfair The more that you hold on the more it slips away
Again and again, you try to make some sense But it all turns out the same
What has changed? Then you find that you're just the same as anybody
So tell me now, who is left to blame?
Looking Up
You figured this should be easy You figured this
should be natural It's just what you need but too much keeps getting in
Your way You know it's never that easy You know it always gets complicated
Now your frantic, suspicious, and you pay a price For everything It might
be the only chance you get After a lifetime of regrets, it finally looks
like Things are looking up so don't look down I don't want to see you falling
You thought you would have all the answers But what's right now, seems
to be all wrong Your fed up. You give up. You've come too far,
for far too long Too much is expected of you So are you going to make the
right decision now? What's left for the loyal? Your empty-handed
once again What's left for the loyal? I don't want to see you falling
down.
Bite My Nails
Is this all part of the game you play Do you try
to make me feel this way You try to sell me something that you don't believe
I guess for you it's easier this way I never did hear you complain And
now I stand aside Bite my Nails while you decide I wish that I could hate
you, but I can't I wish that you would vanish, But your too hard to forget
I can't do it if it isn't right But your not willing to compromise I know
you think you've got me figured out you think you know what I'm about I
don't think you'd be surprised You have to know how hard I've tried And
after all that time we've spent Would this be something you'd regret Would
you feel the need to stay, Or turn your back and walk away.
Dawn To Dusk
Fed up, knocked down Withdrawn from everything
that once was comfortable So much for routine You're weighed down, sinking
Swimming against the stream that once carried you home Took you to the
place where you belonged I thought I heard you crying out I thought I heard
you say goodbye It doesn't matter where you are, your shadow is close behind
You know your reflection doesn't lie You see a tired face through sullen,
sunken eyes A portrait of regret It won't let you forget Still tangled
in the net you thought you'd left behind Just to find you can't run from
yourself I thought I heard you crying out I thought I heard you say goodbye
It doesn't matter where you are, your shadow is close behind You're wearing
down, but still the same Dawn to dusk... Day to day You stagger on, shrouded
in shame Still haunted by shadows They're calling your name I thought I
felt you reaching out Grasping just to stay alive Your shadow gets longer
As the sun falls from the sky.
Underrated
I waited patiently for you to come around I sacrificed
my sanity to keep from breaking down I always thought of you and forgot
about myself, But the only one you care about is you And no one else I
used to be so naive And you never cared about me, Now I see that I can't
achieve Everything that you want from me. Honesty was all I asked
but you just let me down Countless times I gave you the benefit of the
doubt You think that I'm a fool And you'll get away with it But this time
I'm not so willing to Forgive and forget Feeling unappreciated, dedication
understated, Everything's so complicated And I think that I'm underrated
You said you could handle it You said go ahead and quit Now you'll finally
get your wish, So just try not to choke on it.
Walk On Water
As I come to my wits end It was easier to break
than bend you said I lost my faith But I think it was taken from me Never
could let my guard down Once again I start to drown Because the water that
you said to walk on Suddenly gave way beneath me Once again you prove yourself
And I'd expect it out of someone else But it's the best laid plans that
often run astray Yeah I know it sounds cliché, but it seems the
more things change The more things stay the same And that's proved to make
me wise as I look through tired eyes Don't ask me to walk on water Meet
you on the other side As you stand there looking blankly past me Now I've
finally realized that I was never good enough I could never do enough I
was only strong enough, to pick you up and carry you again.
Friday Mourning
A desperate breath inhaled then it leaves you Hollowed
out, you struggle to feel something Abandoned eyes that drowned in the
disbelief and doubt When you woke up Friday morning It still seems so surreal
These scars should slowly heal I remember when you kneeled, you didn't
say goodbye You knew she wasn't gone You whispered "Until we meet again,
you'll be watching me I know Please save a place for me and when I'm finally
Called back home I'll see you smiling there" The angels in your bedroom
softly sing her name It's getting easier to sleep now So you feel some
comfort, but still it's not the same But it's better than the twisted silence
You woke up Friday mourning.
Pivot
I can't see the future I can't read your mind What
once seemed bright and hopeful now is gone and left behind Until you know
what you want You can't expect me to understand your logic Or explain the
things you do Don't try to pin the blame on me You've run me dry of everything
I tried to speak, unanswered Too many times you've walked away You only
hear what's right for you.
Something For Everyone
My pain is never ending I feel it grow inside Frustration
overwhelms me there's no place left to hide My mind is always racing These
things can't stay the same I want to see the difference I want to see the
change I'm standing outside for you to decide But I don't want to wait
And I tried to be strong as we went along And you said nothing changed
So what's left to believe? I'm not going to leave There's nothing
left to say Don't say you were blind, because I never lied I'm just hoping
now that you'll remember me You know just what you're doing Because you
do it oh so well And maybe you tried to fool me But I never fooled myself
Your story is always changing But things still stay the same And sometimes
I long to see you And sometimes I stay away.
Pin The Tail On The Donkey
As I kick my self again And I try to pick myself
back up again Don't want to make the same mistakes Always the first with
an excuse But its when your cornered by the truth Sometimes its easier
that way As you turn away When the realization stares you down And you
swear you've come to terms, I'm wary I've seen it all too many times It
never made much sense So I always had to stop and second guess Defeat myself
before I start Comfort seems so far away Peace of mind is just a luxury
Forgetting is the hardest part Its not what you said that matters Because
anyone can say those words to me You say I lack compassion But that's when
my first reaction Isn't how you wanted me to be As I kick myself again
And I try to pick myself back up again Don't want to make the same mistakes.
Sleep Tight
I know you wish you were dreaming The silence is
keeping you awake Staring outward at your ceiling And pushing aimless thoughts
away There's no resolution when the day is over When so much is left undone
There must be something better then this tired cycle Where so much gets
left unsaid An empty bedroom can be freezing Every midnight seems so cold
Staring outward past your ceiling There's nothing lonelier I know Please
look out your window You'll see the stars outside Just think of how wide
the sky is.
