Feed Your Ego
This time you got the best of me
Lay me down right next to apathy
Cut
It's for better or for worse
It's both a blessing and a curse that feeds on me
So blind my eyes and feel no shame
Brush it off along with blame
And then call in
Hide behind your better reign
to keep inside your bitter pain
You don't like what I do
Well it's not about you.
So go on and feed your ego.
You bathe in sin you can't wash clean
Try to cash in what you can't redeem
Cut
It's for better or for worse
It's both a blessing and a curse that lives in me.
Say what you can to compensate
but there's nomone there to appreciate
But you don't bleed like I do.
Hide behind your better reign
To keep inside your, your bitter pain
You don't like what I do
Well it's not about you.
So go on and feed your ego.
Hold
Takes a number, stands in line
'cause he doesn't feel like himself
And he's always played though off there were
Just cared for his sense of self
He plays on in spite of everything
Disillusioned by his right.
What makes it all go away
When you can't put up a fight, can't put up a fight?
Oh, but it's okay to breathe
Your worries away
When everything and everyone try to lead you astray.
Hold your own, hold your ground,
Hold to life when you're down,
And always believe that there's a way back home.
She's waiting on the answer,
A way to let them know.
The thought of someone else inside her,
And the fear began to grow.
Warm tears feed dry hands
As she falls to the ground.
It's strange how sadness presents itself
When there's noone around, there's noone around.
Oh, but it's okay to breathe
Your worries away
When everything and everyone try to lead you astray.
Hold your own, hold your ground,
Hold to life when you're down,
And always believe that there's a way back home.
Oh, but it's okay to breathe
Your worries away
When everything and everyone try to lead you astray.
Hold your own, hold your ground,
Hold to life when you're down,
And always believe that there's a way back home.
Won't you hold your ground,
Hold to life when you're down
(A way back home)
And always believe that there's a way back home
(A way back home)
Hold your ground, hold to life when you're down
(Oh, you're down)
And always believe that there's a way back home.
(hold your ground)
A way back home
Testament
My only way
Day after day
Can't find my inspiration
Settle for consolation
I'm wasting away.
The sky begins to fade
and I wish that I was made
to stand against the wind
as if it were my friend
I feel betrayed
Please hold to what you know
'cause I just can't seem to tell you how I feel
And I feel something in my soul
that tells me this is real.
And I know I can't explain
why the pleasure feels like pain.
Try to hide, try to subside
everything I feel inside.
Please hold to what you know
'cause I just can't seem to tell you how I feel
And I feel something in my soul
that tells me this is real.
Please hold to what you know
'cause I just can't seem to tell you how I feel, yeah.
I feel something in my soul
that tells me this is real.
It's real.
Thought You Knew
I'm on the other side, waiting and praying.
Can't see to justify, the things you keep saying.
Can't seem to understand the way that you hate.
But it's okay to say, that you don't feel that way
But stop lying and trying to prove yourself to me,
'cause I don't care.
I'm leaving this behind
in my six-fold solitude.
I'm drowning on the inside, say goodbye
to what you thought you knew.
I'm here to testify, for those who've been broken.
Live not a way to die, let dreams be awoken.
Take it from one who's been a martyr left alone.
But it's okay to say, that you don't feel that way
But stop lying and trying to grovel at my feet,
'cause I don't care, yeah yeah.
I'm leaving this behind
in my six-fold solitude, whoa oh yeah yeah.
I'm drowning on the inside, say goodbye
to what you thought you knew.
I'm leaving this behind.
I'm drowning on the inside, say goodbye
to what you thought you knew, yeah.
Clean Break
Watching, waiting for a sign from something else
to let me know that I'm not by myself.
Turning points and lonliness abound.
I'm better off not having you around.
I'm far too blind to see
the things you've done to me.
This time I've no regard.
Time to put up my guard.
Looking back on better days,
keep finding pieces of myself in yesterday.
Looking for another way
to break apart the sea of mediocrity.
Don't hold me down, keep me locked up from the things I long for
It's time you know
I'm holding back now
even though I don't know how
I ever let you go
Bleeding, forming scars in vain.
I'm finding no shelter from the never-ending rain.
I'm finding I don't know you, I don't know you.
But I, I'll pay you back in kind.
The shit has hit the fan.
Realize I'm not your man.
This time I've no regard
Time to put up your guard.
Looking back on better days
keep finding pieces of myself in yesterday.
Looking for another way
to break apart the sea of mediocrity, oh.
So hold me down, not any lock will keep me from the things I long for
It's time you know
I'm holding back now
although I don't know how
I ever let you go.
Just In Case
Life’s not what it used to be
I struggle to survive
Always short of everything
A failure in your eyes
To understand what’s in my head
Takes energy for two
That all we’ve known and all we’ve shown
What I really think of you
So hold me to the light
And watch me fade to white
And burn away
The souls are on your hands
Too late to make amends
You’ve chosen your way
You’ve heard it all before
And I won’t preach it anymore
That Life’s not made to waste
So do what you can to be
Be who you want to be
Just in case
Strangled now abandoned for
Defeat your sense of self
I spend my life to be your slave
Surrounded by myself
Too brash and young to comprehend
As to what it all engulfs
I see myself in black and white
Beaten down and old
Beaten down and old
So hold me to the light
And watch me fade to white
And burn away
The souls are on your hands
Too late to make amends
You’ve chosen your way
You’ve heard it all before
And I won’t preach it anymore
Life’s not made to waste
So do what you can to be
Be who you want to be
Just in case
Leave Behind
Seein’ all my mistakes etched in stone
Feelin’ all the layers of my soul
And I fill ‘em up
You stand beside me, a shadow of myself and I feel hollow
And I can’t swallow
No, it’s not fair
Nobody ever told me it would be this hard
Forgiving no more promises he’ll tell you no more lies
It’s not supposed to be this way
Reach your steady hand
Reach your promise land
You left without me
’Cuz I’m fallin’ far away
To fumble the light of day
And I cease to be
But take comfort in the fact
That I won’t be hanging on your back as you go forward
So say your prayers and say goodnight
Whether your wrong, whether your right
I know it’s hard
To be who you want to be
No time to sit and comprehend
I’ve made up my mind
To be a martyr for the cause
And I can’t pretend to mind
And you stand beside me an outline of myself and I feel okay
And I seem okay
Oh it’s not fair
Nobody ever told me this would never happen
And it happened once again
So go and lead your own life
And leave me to mine
I’m not prepared to die
Reach your steady hand
Reach your promise land
Oh it won’t help me
’Cuz I’m falling far away to walk the light of day and I cease to be
But take comfort in the fact
I won’t be hanging on your back as you go forward
So say your prayers and say goodnight
Whether your wrong, whether your right
I know it’s hard
To be who you want to be
Reach your promise land
Oh it won’t help me
’Cuz I’m falling far away to walk the light of day and I cease to be
But take comfort in the fact
I won’t be hanging on your back as you go forward
So say your prayers and say goodnight
Whether your wrong, whether your right
I know it’s hard
To be who you want to be (yeah)
To be who you want to be
Truth Is A Gun
Look at my hand,
manipulate to serve
what I feel like I deserve.
The basis is faulty,
and there's no place to rest my head,
so I wait in the depths instead.
I'm waiting to bleed
so I'll know that I am alive
and my patience is justified.
I can't get a grip
when there's nothing to hold on to
I need a separate point of view.
Truth is a gun
I'm aiming at everyone.
I'm driven by fear
it's no longer safe in here.
My message is clean
break off from who you've been.
You're shot in the head
another one dead.
So tell me your views
like I'm unable to oppose,
nothing legible to compose.
So take your win,
walk around with your head held high
but afraid it will pass you by.
I'm waiting to bleed
so I'll know that I am alive
and my actions are justified.
I can't get a grip
when there's nothing to hold on to,
but I know I'm better than you.
Truth is a gun
I'm aiming at everyone.
I'm driven by fear
it's no longer safe in here.
My message is clean
break off from who you've been.
You're shot in the head
another one dead,
another one dead
another one dead.
Therapy
I feel so lonely
No one to console me
Here as I sit amidst the wind
Eyes to see me
Not even I believe me and my thoughts are on the mend
The sun plays tricks on my eyes
Trying now to make my way through all the lies
Put on my face to fool you all
But I don’t have that far left to fall
It’s therapy for me
To wear my heart on my sleeve
It’s therapy for me
It’s therapy for me
But you can’t see this
You never been this, question everything you are
I come back stronger
Can’t help but remember
That it’s easy when it’s done being hard
The sun plays tricks on my eyes
Trying now to make my way through all the empty lies
Put on my face to fool you all
But I don’t have that far left to fall
It’s therapy for me (yeah)
To wear my heart on my sleeve (yeah)
It’s therapy for me (yeah)
It’s therapy for me (yeah)
Come back stronger
Can’t help but remember
That it’s easy when it’s done being hard…
Still
reflections in the waves of my eyes
my mind's a million shining seas
my life's grounded in the colours of the night
and i'm left answering your pleas.
and i'm still standing, waiting for you
and i'll keep on demanding
i'll let these feelings subdue
and i keep on living with my heart on my sleeve
cause i've seen enough
and i still believe.
inspiration escapes me
as i look into my dream
my hands are open for promise
i fall apart at the seam.
and i'm still standing,
waiting for you.
and i'll keep on demanding,
let these feelings subdue.
and i'll keep on living with my heart on my sleeve
cause i've seen enough,
and i still believe.
i'm tired of complaining,
i'm tired of restraining on you
feelings from you
i'll always live to be
the one who selflessly gave all my heart
if you only knew
and i'll keep on living with my heart on my sleeve.
and i know love,
and i still believe.
