Nothing is forever
I gave up everything for you
And you gave up on everything in me
Now I see
I've obtained clarity
And there's not too much of a disparity
Between love and hate
The time is now
But we're running late
I've given up on fate
I'm making a new path
The outcome is to be determined
But I'm determined
Yeah, I'm determined
Lifting the weight
No longer burdened
Turning a new leaf
Stealing my heart back from the thief
But should I call you a thief for stealing my heart?
Or should I call you a vandal for breaking it apart?...
And you gave up on everything in me
Now I see
I've obtained clarity
And there's not too much of a disparity
Between love and hate
The time is now
But we're running late
I've given up on fate
I'm making a new path
The outcome is to be determined
But I'm determined
Yeah, I'm determined
Lifting the weight
No longer burdened
Turning a new leaf
Stealing my heart back from the thief
But should I call you a thief for stealing my heart?
Or should I call you a vandal for breaking it apart?...

Shut down
If you won't open up
Neither will I
We say that we're fine
With tears in our eyes
The lies that we tell
To everyone and ourselves
They vary in size
We try to devise
A way to not hurt
We clean our wounds
With some dirt
Neither will I
We say that we're fine
With tears in our eyes
The lies that we tell
To everyone and ourselves
They vary in size
We try to devise
A way to not hurt
We clean our wounds
With some dirt

Gemini
I thought you were a Gemini
Didn't think you were a Cancer
I ask the truth
Don't like how you answer
If you let go
We can move on
Letting go isn't so easy
When you could never seem to get a grip
Life is one, long trip
And we are all still falling
I'm still lost in your eyes
We can move on
If I let go
But letting go isn't so easy
When I could never seem to get a grip
Didn't think you were a Cancer
I ask the truth
Don't like how you answer
If you let go
We can move on
Letting go isn't so easy
When you could never seem to get a grip
Life is one, long trip
And we are all still falling
I'm still lost in your eyes
We can move on
If I let go
But letting go isn't so easy
When I could never seem to get a grip

I hope the high horse they're on has its knees give out
I lost my fear
No longer scared
Hell of a year
Few even cared
Learned some lessons
Lost some friends
Righted wrongs
Wrote some songs
Started to
Become more strong
Can't keep it simple
Simply too complex
The system messed up
In who it protects
I'm just another reject
Spitting out the truth
Searching like a sleuth
Rifling through books
Pointing out the corporate crooks
Always need to read
Questioning the source
Too many lies
I scream repeatedly
Until my voice is hoarse
They say...
No longer scared
Hell of a year
Few even cared
Learned some lessons
Lost some friends
Righted wrongs
Wrote some songs
Started to

In who it protects
I'm just another reject

The machine
I'm a stupid, sorry motherfucker
Over sympathetic
So fucking
Pathetic
Why do I try to get involved
Why do so many problems
Go unsolved?
I want to see resolve
We need to evolve
We need to be absolved
For what this world revolves around
With what we surround
Can't keep my feet up
Off the ground
Kicking us while we're down
Another run down town
Takes your smile
Gives back a frown
The truth is painful
But the meaning is deep
Don't be a wolf
But damn, don't be a sheep
On the grind...
Over sympathetic
So fucking
Pathetic
Why do I try to get involved
Why do so many problems
Go unsolved?
I want to see resolve
We need to evolve
We need to be absolved
For what this world revolves around
With what we surround
Can't keep my feet up
Off the ground
Kicking us while we're down
Another run down town
Takes your smile
Gives back a frown
The truth is painful
But the meaning is deep
Don't be a wolf
But damn, don't be a sheep
On the grind...

Corruption runs deep
Sometimes it takes being numb
To really feel
I'm starting to question
What is fake and what is real
They got the truth
But keep the records sealed
They make laws
Until they are repealed
What the hell
Does hypocrisy yield?
Deploying more into the field
Use them as a symbol, a shield
Soldiers stand
While politicians kneeled
Taking money
Behind their back
Bend to corporations
Who pay them stacks
Justice and truth
Are what the system lacks...
I'm full from being fed lies
While somewhere...

Trip
Here we are
Another trip
Everything's melting
I watch it drip
Holding tight
But losing grip
Is this the iceberg
Or just the tip?
Reality is shy
There's more than meets the eye
Another trip
Everything's melting
I watch it drip
Holding tight
But losing grip
Is this the iceberg
Or just the tip?
Reality is shy
There's more than meets the eye

Past bullshit
Don't you like that bitter taste?
When all your trust has been misplaced
The past cannot be erased
You're a user and I don't just mean substance abuser
I'm thinking
And drinking
And sinking
I don't want pity
I want honesty
You wanted lies
You knew how to hypnotize
I watched that relationship sail
Sailed so far
I didn't want it to fail
But I'll wear the scar
When all your trust has been misplaced
The past cannot be erased
You're a user and I don't just mean substance abuser
I'm thinking
And drinking
And sinking
I don't want pity
I want honesty
You wanted lies
You knew how to hypnotize
I watched that relationship sail
Sailed so far
I didn't want it to fail
But I'll wear the scar

Burning out
Running from
The hum drum lifestyle
Can only get away
For a little while
Forced conformity
Leads to deformity
I don't want money
I want love
Staring at
The stars above
Shooting star
Burning out
Optimism battles doubt
Whispers turn into shouts
Words slur
Life is one big blur
We all forgot
Who we were
The hum drum lifestyle
Can only get away
For a little while
Forced conformity
Leads to deformity
I don't want money
I want love
Staring at
The stars above
Shooting star
Burning out
Optimism battles doubt
Whispers turn into shouts
Words slur
Life is one big blur
We all forgot
Who we were

Lost sleep, can't find it
I can't sleep but I sure can dream
I'm sensing a common theme
Night after night
Battling consciousness
Losing the fight
I need to give it a rest
I tried to give it a rest
I'll keep trying to find some rest
Its so elusive
Sandman, why are you abusive?
I'm sensing a common theme
Night after night
Battling consciousness
Losing the fight
I need to give it a rest
I tried to give it a rest
I'll keep trying to find some rest
Its so elusive
Sandman, why are you abusive?

Lost in Translation
Love laced with contempt
It hurt worse than I dreamt
While you slept around
I stayed wide awake
Maybe hanging around
Was only the first mistake
Hearts tend to break
People tend to fake
Never admit to mistakes
Give me a fucking break
Finally had enough
I'm calling your fucking bluff
Be careful who you trust
Be careful where you stay
Remember what we discussed
Not much more to say...
I know I shouldn't sympathize
But its hard when I hear your cries
Then I'm back stabbed by lies
All of my ill advised...
It hurt worse than I dreamt
While you slept around
I stayed wide awake
Maybe hanging around
Was only the first mistake
Hearts tend to break
People tend to fake
Never admit to mistakes
Give me a fucking break
Finally had enough
I'm calling your fucking bluff
Be careful who you trust
Be careful where you stay
Remember what we discussed
Not much more to say...
I know I shouldn't sympathize
But its hard when I hear your cries
Then I'm back stabbed by lies
All of my ill advised...

You can't see me
Look me in the eyes
I hear you criticize
You say I'm fucking blind
But you can't see
Its made up in your mind
You still can't see
The irony
Looking down on me
Maybe you should
Keep your chin up
Pass on your thoughts
Kick me while I'm down
Tensions high
Intentions low
You talk too fast
Your brain is stuck on slow
Words start to slur
Hope you find the cure
I hear you criticize
You say I'm fucking blind
But you can't see
Its made up in your mind
You still can't see
The irony
Looking down on me
Maybe you should
Keep your chin up
Pass on your thoughts
Kick me while I'm down
Tensions high
Intentions low
You talk too fast
Your brain is stuck on slow
Words start to slur
Hope you find the cure
