You. You want control
I can’t say no
That’s how we go
I want to hold onto
What I don’t know
Where do we go
Nobody knows
And if - we don’t survive
And this all dies
Should we be surprised
Just know I tried
So here we are
None of the pieces seem to fit
We made it this far
But tell me is this it
You and me will die
So what is this about
They say enjoy the ride
But how can I get out
I’ve seen what’s over there
Sorry but I don’t care
My painful memories
All drowned in melodies
Anticlimactic to see
All that’s been happening to me cuz
I’m stuck
I’m stuck
I’m stranded
So let us rewind
To the hell of yesterday
How can we forget the time
When everything got in the way
I devoted my life
Got it stuck in my head
Thought I’d give it a try
I don’t wanna be dead
But I can’t help these extremes
Ya can’t kill all my screams
I’m not a hypocrite
And I ain’t full of it
So sick of all of it
That’s it I quit
I'm stuck
I'm stuck
I'm stranded
NO! Further we GO! Out of CONTROL! Into the hole…
NOW! This all stops NOW! I don’t know HOW! To turn it around…
But get off the ground
And though upon last call I gave it all and hit the wall… I will not fall
All of this will pass
But soon so will we
No more no more
None of this will be
I'm stuck
I'm stuck
I'm stuck
So stuck yeehaw
I'm stuck
I'm stuck
I'm

I’m still standing here for 1 last shot
Must be some kind of miracle
My body’s breathing after all I got
Went into something so lyrical
I got nothing left but no regrets
That’s kind of a miracle
Will any of this matter in the end
Let’s hope for a miracle
It’s out of our hands up in the sky
WE WILL RISE AGAIN
No matter what happens if we live or die
WE WILL RISE AGAIN
WE WILL RISE AGAIN
WE WILL RISE AGAIN
WE WILL RISE AGAIN
Falling short of the goal I can’t let go
How do you come down from nothing
Everything’s long gone out of control
And all I wanted was something
There’s a change coming like it or not
It’s nothing to cry about
Time won’t compromise ready or not
Gives you something to die about
WE WILL RISE AGAIN
WE WILL RISE AGAIN
Out of control and there’s no one to hold
Don’t think just let go in a blink we’ll be old
No right or wrong nothing matters at all
I’m still standing in the shape I’m in
It’s kind of a miracle
Everything’s a struggle but a 2nd wind…
Is all we need for a miracle
WE WILL RISE AGAIN

I don’t really care anymore
I know I am living but what for
I’m not really here anymore
Nothing really much matters to me anymore
I don’t really care anymore
It’s all in our minds
The games that we play
Take a look outside, it’s a day
It’s all the unknown
It’s all up to us
Release us from the worry and the fuss
No turning back…
No wasting time today
Leave it behind your way
All that matters
Is all there is
I don't really care anymore
I know I am living but what for
I'm not really here anymore
Nothing really much matters to me anymore
Extraneous
It’s a learned behavior
Unhook the wires don’t get any crazier
Get to the point
If there’s one at all
The tick of time is set no matter how hard you call
No turning back
No wasting time today
Leave it behind your way
All that matters
Is all there is
There is no room
For philosophy
In a world that’s pressed for time to be
Simplify the means
Don’t be complicated
Get a couple of breaths or further frustrated
It’s fun to try to figure out
But we never will
It seems to me these days it’s just a slower kill
No turning back...
No wasting time today
Leave it behind your way
All that matters
Is all there is
Go on make up your mind
Go on leave me behind
Let’s see if
I’ll be alright
I’m just trying to be
And I don’t know how to be
Feels like there may not be
Enough time for me
I just wanna relax
Feel the feeling of free
Yeah but down came the ax
Made little pieces of me
You know my heart beats so fast
Nerves won’t leave me alone
Haunted by my past
I will not pick up the phone
I wanna run for cover
I’m not like the others
You know I need my sleep
I need my sleeeeeeeeeeep

I try to make my way
Thru 1 more day
I am running late
And you are in my way
All you care about is pay
You got the balls to say
You think you got it made
You are soulless and afraid
My personal self won’t separate
My personal self won’t compromise
Won’t get put on no shelf can’t handle it
My personal self sees thru the lies
So it gets banged around
Thrown on the floor
Knocked on the ground
Kicked out the door
Today might suck
Today might sting
Today might nail the coffin shut, kill everything
Take a look up at the sky
And wonder why
It’s a goddamn fact that everything must die
My personal self can't handle it
My personal self not full of shit
But it gets banged around
Thrown on the floor
Knocked on the ground
Kicked out the door
One little thing
And I’m no good
Can’t handle it
I’m behind where I started
But 1 little thing
I’m back again
I’m gonna do it this time
It’s the reason why
You say I overreact
And that I need to calm down
Well if you have the knack for that why don’t you tell me how
I got some wiring inside
Ain’t what it’s supposed to be
Can you help me to find
Outfit me with ability to be happy
So if I lose my mind
And it all goes to hell
And I get left behind for the devil I’ll have a really good story to tell
One little thing
And I’m no good
Can’t handle it
I’m behind where I started
But 1 little thing
I’m back again
I’m gonna do it this time
It’s the reason why

Good Day

Tell me where to place my hate
Tell me where to find my mate
Tell me that I got it made
Tell me that it’s not too late
I don’t like to fall behind
I don’t like to stand in line
But I like to have what’s mine
Give me just a little time
On a good day I break even
On a good day I feel numb
But the pain’s still there and I put it where
It always stopped the sun
On a good day I’m not happy
And you call that a curse
I thought you were the optimist
Cuz it could be so much worse but I feel
Nothin. Nothin.
On my Good Day
Nothin. Nothin.
It won’t go away
Tell me how to make it right
Tell me how to sleep tonight
Give me just a little light
Give me everything in sight
Tell me it’s a trick o the mind tell me that I’m doin fine
Everything comes and goes
Tell me that it’s not a fine line, nothin comes along the way
To turn it all into a catastrophic day
On a good day I break even
On a good day I feel numb
But I raise a glass despite my past and
Where it all comes from… still I feel
Nothin. Nothin.
On my Good Day
Nothin. Nothin.
It won’t go away
Floating (I am hovering), Reeling (I am orbiting)
Circling my soul (Locked out of my soul)
Denied all my feelings (not allowed to land/with no helping hand)
Can’t let GO
Tell me where to go from here
Tell me that the path is clear
Tell me there’s no need to fear
I don’t wanna waste another year
Nothin. Nothin.
On my Good Day
Nothin. Nothin.
Nothing's here to stay
Nothin. Nothin.
On my Good Day
Nothin. Nothin.
Never go away

The End

It all falls apart
It all strips away
When you take out the heart
Nothing matters anyway
There’s no hope anymore
There is no reason to believe
When you only trust yourself
For your life you begin to grieve
Look what it’s done
It’s done nothing at all
Near suicide
Have yet to fall
Somehow I’m still here
Dangling by a string
But take away my music
I don’t care about anything
Somehow I’m still here
Dangling by a string
But take away my music...
Now I see things
For what they really are
The apathy it brings
How do you answer… how you are
I got nothing left
I turn in towards myself
No one’s really real
No one really cares
You’re searching for something
That simply can’t exist
And it gets you down
Surely there’s got to be more to life than this
Should I go
Tell me is it worth it
So what now
Should I stay

Time Out

Now it’s all done and over
I won’t take the time to dwell
I don’t even feel a damn thing
Maybe it’s just as well
I feel the same as always
Running restless and confused
Searching for my self-fulfillment
I don’t know what to do
So many stories to tell
I think I’ll leave them all alone
So many places I dwelled
And now I need some time home alone
Sitting here…
I try and make some music
That could impact for a while
We are drowning in the quick fix
Suits get rich the kids all smile
We already got the surplus
Everyone’s singin’ bout havin’ fun
Sometimes I wonder if I knew how
Could it be I would be one of those…
So many stories to tell
I think I’ll leave them all alone
So many places I dwelled
And now I hunger for my home
So many stories to tell
I think I’ll leave it all alone
Too many places to dwell
I just need some time alone
Sitting here…
So many stories to tell
I think I’ll leave them all alone
So many places I dwelled
And I still hunger for my home
Too many stories to tell
I think I’ll leave it all alone
You know it's all just as well
I just need to be left alone
Now it’s all done and over
I can finally now begin
I feel a growing hunger
I feel it deep within
Don’t know how you’re supposed to find me
Sitting here a little lost
Took all that I had to get here
Only time can shake it off

I couldn’t get off the ground
When I had the window
And then I fell down
And I found a new low
Part of me is gone
Gone forever
And now I burned out
How could there ever be a light
My heart… still beating
My heart… still bleeding
You – did this to me
And now I can see
I was protecting myself
Numb – is what I’ve become
I know the truth
Got no idea what to do
You’re the reason that the world got out of hand
[But] you’re the reason someone’s taking a stand
I don’t see a way out
Another day older
Too speechless to shout
And it’s never over
Got nothing to say
It’s destined this way
I don’t know how much
I don’t know how much more I can take
My heart... still beating
My heart... it's still bleeding
You – are so ignorant
Where would I begin
Letting you in
When you never listen anyway
I – would like you to see
What it’s like to be
Someone that must give up on someone
I have every single reason to run
Still I stay because I am the only one
So now it’s all gone
It blew out the window
I’m thru holding on
Where did the fight go
I got nothing left
Whatever was there
I can’t get it back
And it’s not my cross to bear
My heart... still beating
My heart...
You – can do it to me
Can make me feel bad
Yet you don’t entrust me with feelings
It’s all about you
You haven’t a clue
The damage that all your bullshit brings
You - can trigger the past
Can make it all last
Can make me a prisoner in my mind
He – wants to come in
But you can’t let him
Cause he’ll make you forget who you are
Change - brings about pain
I ride the flame
Still I wish it would never be the same
Every time I try to bury the past
It just flares up so fast
There are some things that last
But I don’t want them to
Don’t you hate it how life is so unfair
Wake up there’s people trying to care

Send me another song on down the line
Send me another song make it good this time
Make this one about makin it through
Send me another song but don’t send you... I don’t need you
Send me another song then leave me be
I like being by myself periodically
Please don’t take it personally
But even if you do… that’s how I gotta be, I gotta save me
If you let it become a song you will be fine
I hate most of my friends most of the time
Oftentimes it’s best done by yourself
But ISOLATION hurts like bloody hell
I want someone legit
Not full of shit
Competition drives the human race
It hurts me when you sell a straight deceptive face
You could have been something but you’re a waste
I’m no hypocrite but I am stuck here in this place
I WANNA RUN AWAY
I AM NOT AN ASSHOLE
GOD KNOWS WHERE I’M GOING
If I disappear from the world I’ll buy some time
To come back fresh and once again bask in the grime
I’ll polish off what’s sacred, forget the rest
Trick the mind with most things, just forget
Here I go I’m gonna put up walls
I’ll compete no more, I’m bowing out
The GAME was never made with me in mind
Now I get my role, you win; I’ll stay behind
We are animals just like the lion
Born to live with others but created from a complicated design…
