Pretend to understand but you never really know
whats right...or wrong
Jaded by my own failures, too blind to see the good qualities...
in myself
Put the pen down to the paper
write the words that come to mind
Try to express all the feelings that I'm having at the time
No time to stop and think of all the bad things trapped inside my mind
No time to stop and think of all the good things that I've left behind
Too much yet so much left undone(and unsaid)
Always keep coming back to this fork in the road...
When I finally realized you had me standing their hypnotized
I wonder if you'll ever really know how I feel
like a starry night you lite up the sky
As I hope that I'll take this one chance and show
You what you mean to me....
It would take too long to tell you what you really mean to me
But here goes nothing anyway all I gotta do is try
It's your smile its your eyes how they keep me locked inside
The expression on your face when you sit and wonder why
I wish I had the nerve to tell you but that would be too wrong
So I'm hoping I get lucky and have you read this song
Their's no need to give an answer even if it isn't so
Because nothing could stop this love that I feel for you...
You took my heart away...
with the smile on your face
only to return it with one word from your lips
Too afraid to chance it
Too smart to let this chance pass by
the only thing that really matters is that i'll have you standing here by my side....
Standard Eyes
As much as i hate labels
i hate being labeled wrong
One word said is one too many
this has gone on for way too long
Try and make us fit the standard
when were one size too small
Try and tighten the belt of conformity
when we don't want to fit in at all!
When will you finally realize
and start thinking for yourself
Start looking at the world through your own eyes
Without their frickin help !
Swallow the pill
Close your eyes
As they cut you right back down to size
All your problems fade away
no black or white there's only grey
As your mind drifts off to another place
See them there but can't place the faces,
But their seems to be one left behind
Off the beaten path he'll never find
None the wiser says the one
who cocks his loaded gun
Puts it to his own forehead
and pulls the trigger just for fun
Loyalty and ignorance go hand and hand
you better do what they tell you to
If you want to get into their promised land
your bitter tasting sweetness
Of belonging to a flock of sheep
you alienate the population
With your guise of superiority
coerced into believing
And blindly following the lie
never stop to question why
THIS RELIGION THEY CALLED CONFORMITY!
Freedom of Choice
Choose your own way to die, its not there problem to decide
Freedom of Voice
Tell them what they wanna hear, those hypocrites are just so SINcere
Say what you wanna say
But be willing to pay the price
Do what you wanna do
But you better do it right
So when your looking forward your falling behind....
You just keep telling yourself
It's all in your mind!
You open your eyes but ya still can't see
Only judged upon your loyalty
Got the Money? they got the time...
starve the poor while they drink there wine
Freedom of Stupidity
Freedom of Individuality
Freedom of Profanity
Taken away from you
Not enough time enjoying our lives...
behind our open door we all hide...
If were not looking forward were looking back
Our own future is our children's past
How long is this fleeting moment going to last...
What if your candle in the wind survived the night?
Would it make a single difference in your life
Would it cause your tired heart to drop the knife
If we could all let go and learn to live are life to its very best
Would you be willing to sacrifice
if you didn't get your full slice....
Their's no use waiting
for heaven to come to you
We weren't brought into this world
So God criticize everything we do...
Were too caught up in looking for the answer...
when don't even know the question
Why should it matter what we believe in
isn't it better just to believe in something...
Rather than asking who's
Right
Wrong
to far gone
When we can't even justify our answers
There's no way to define the undefined...
Are you willing to
Fight
Die
for your pride
If thats what it takes soon we'll all be dead
Take all of your wars Dedicate them to your God Take all of your hate,
Blame it all on lucifer... then everything will be alright But what of those who are forced to go, ....what of those who run from the light? or take nothing at all But can't some rules be broken, Can't some things be left undone.... All these wasted prayers They all amount to nothing, they just waste your time and lead your mind astray and put pain and suffering in their place Fall back into the arms of the God you trust only to hit the ground just spare us all the innocent when you rip them our arms... If you could see the pain we see with just one glimpse into their parents eyes paint over this imperfect picture The scene may not have been the best But nothing ever is... A little crooked on the wall of life a little aging here and there or isit just left up to chance Cherish every moment because you might not get that second glance... pages ripped out at the seams As they pave their way to heaven with only chapter left complete too much time to realize Death may be the only one, who has no prejudice at all with God the lonesome player ready to sacrifice our own lives To increase the odd's of winning
Just dying to get into heaven,
Have to take the ugly with the good,
All these cries out to heaven,
they take hope from those who need it most
Why...can't you...
If you could fell the pain we feel,
Why must you ....
Who is held responsible
Their lives were just an open book,
Not enough time to see it all, do it all, have it all....
Are we just a pawn in the game of life,
