Breakaway
03:45
|
|||
|
I've lived it day to day
And now I know I that I'm going insane
Confined and over-worked to live a life mundane
And now it's time to get away
Breakaway
Revived to map a brand new life
My future has been set in stone today
Can't hesitate to realize
We live to fall in line
And never stop to ask each other why
Complacent and resigned to waste our lives in pain
And now its time to shed the chains
Breakaway

Peace of Mind
02:23
|

I used to think that time well spent meant having a good time
But now it seems I sacrificed too much for peace of mind
I used to think that by myself
I could get by with no one else
But will I make it through the day?
So many times I asked loved ones to just see it my way
They all complied and backed away all in the name of faith
I used to think that by my self
I could get by with no one else
But will I make it through the day?
I used to think that on my own
I could get by so all alone
But will I make it through the day?
All the times that I screwed up
I knew that I was wrong
But pride can blind in so many ways
It took me too damn long
To figure out that everybody needs a helpin hand sometimes to maintain
To everyone, I'm sorry
And I'll never make the same mistake

Bed of Nails
04:30
|
|||
|
I can't believe myself
Set up to take the fall
Closed my eyes to the truth
But I try and my pain bleeds through
Too many times I've had to hold my tongue
Indoctrinated just to follow along
I've tried and I've cried to no avail
I descend back down to my bed of nails
I've tried to fit the mold
Only to pacify
Never quite lived up to par
But I try and the hate bleeds through
Just close my mind to keep the pain inside
I'll never learn

Let Go
03:17
|
|||
|
It seems to me that people have a hard time living up to dreams
Especially when nobody wants to believe that you can attain anything you want
By standing by your heart
Just do the math and then you can make your own
Start your battery
Ignite your drive's intensity
Live with direction
Enjoy vitality
There's always someone waiting just to put you down
So get it all together and pull yourself up off the ground
And so it seems that you keep letting people tell you what to be
Instead of living your life
Put your fears aside and pinpoint where your problem lies
Don't hesitate, just get it straight
You can do it if you just let go

As We Fall
03:16
|
|||
|
For what it's worth, I still believe in you
And though it hurts, I know that you'll pull through
So take your excuses and put them aside
Don't be a waste of a fertile mind
It's been some years, since we've seen eye to eye
Conquer your fears, then your can rectify
So take your excuses and put them aside
Don't be a waste of a fertile mind
You hold the key to a fulfilling life
Neglected potential's a sordid crime
As we burn, as we fall apart
I daydream of brand new starts
As we turn, as we sow the seeds
I'm consumed by tragedy

Square One
03:28
|
|||
|
It happened again, I'm back to square one
I can't fight the feeling, there's nowhere to run
I got myself into another bind.
Another mishap, another mistake
I don't know how many its going to take
There's something lacking in my life
Why can't I seem to get ahead?
What's so hard to comprehend?
Who knows? Walking amongst the living dead
I know what I wan't but what will it take
So much on the table so much is at stake
I won't let indifference compromise
It happens so fast you never can tell
So just watch your back don't torture yourself
Because you never really know

Toe The Line
03:57
|
|||
|
I've got this problem, can you help me through?
I sure hope you don't disapprove
I need some help accomplishing
And aquiring everything that I see for free
I know its hard to get by on a dime
Someday you'll see.
Nobody owes you anything
We all face the same problems every day
Brainstorming new ways to get paid
Just do your best and I'll do mine
And I'm sure you'll find that we all have to toe the line

Casualty
00:59
|
|||
|
He's just another pre-natal fatality
It's too damned bad that we can't legislate morality
|

Better Days
03:41
|
|||
|
Sometimes life get's the best of me
And I lose my self control
Sometimes it's so hard to believe that we've maintained for so long
Its so hard to rise and face the day
When the joy is so short lived
Its so hard to hold your head up high
When its so easy to let go
Do you fell the same sense of loss?
How do you muster up the will?
Do you ever what wonder what went wrong?
Time now stands still
Sometimes I get caught up and it seems that I'm already too deep
Some nights I long to fall asleep just to dream of better days

Soiled The Name
03:48
|
|||
|
I can't believe my ears
I've heard the slander now for years
Day in day out I'm told that I don't know what's best for me
But Feel it and I want it
And in my heart its true
And I feel it and I want it
There's nothing you can do
I'm so ashamed
I've soiled the name
Dad said she's off the wall
Mom said he dropped the ball
Oh well, let's all move on and live our lives the same
But its not okay
You wonder why
I choose to hide
I'm just the family disappointment now anyway
Don't question me
Why can't you see?
That you can't mold my life for me
|

Run
01:57
|
|||
|
You try to run, no you're never gonna get away
Can't you see you can't escape reality
You're never gonna get too far running 'round like that
Look around I'm sure you'll see people in over abundancy
Hiding the truth for their eyes
Perpetuating lies
You don't have to believe
What your eyes can't see
You're having fun living in your little fantasy
Too much to lose and nothing much to gain
Now it's catching up to you
Whatcha gonna do?
It's a never ending game
Just another human tragedy
And it shows in all of us every single day
You don't have to believe
What you choose not to see
Run

Golden Rules
02:45
|
|||
|
Well no one cares and I can't seem to find myself
Everybody wants to put me back on the shelf
And I don't know what's best for me
Don't try to tell me that I've got no future
I've spent a lifetime living by your golden rules
No one believes and I don't know my left from right
No direction and I've lost my will to fight
Who are you to put words in my mouth?
I've been a pawn just playing for your goals
And I can't seem to get it through my skull
Please can you tell me why I feel this way?
So I can come to terms with my life today
