Chase 02:54
i woke up today with nothing to think, and nothing to feel, will this ever go away, try to think back to how it used to be, back when i knew who was the real me, just another day, nothing left to say, just another day, just nothingness, there has to be more, try to remember how i ended up this way, but when i think back, nothing but blank, just a shell of who i used to be.

another chapter of my life flipped by my eyes, a day, a year, a friend who cares, taken for granted feelings that you had, now there's nothing left, no one to understand, we started out so great, we were just a ocup0le kids, having fun and drinking beer all night, those were the times i miss, losing track of time, wanna remember you like this, there's a million things i'd like to say to you, if you had a chance would you turn and walk away, there's a million things i'd like to say to you, maybe some day we'll be together, we're growing up so fast and drifting all the time, maybe it was fate or something we can't explain, i didn't want it to end up like this, will we meet again somewhere somehow, i'm hoping you're listening, i wanted to tell you that you were still my friend, now you're gone and i'm empty, and i'm waiting until we meet again...

the bored and old, the lies you told, resting unmoved and secure, take dead aim, take them down, you didn't think you'd leave them all behind, we'll watch it all fall down, big and small, we'll burn it all, and leave the ashes on the floor, the sick and damned will rise again, from the ashes falling on the floor, we'll watch it all fall down, falling down, taking action, the motivation to live another day, it's all right, stand up and fight, it's the transition from the darkness to the light.

Lazy You 01:31
monday: we have all the time left in the world to misbehave, let's skip out on work, instead we'll drink ice cold beer in bed before we fall asleep, i'll meet you in our dreams, right now, i don't want to think right now, we don't need to think right now, we'll come down, from the constant buzzing sound that conversations bring, we don't need the words, we'll stay here waiting for the sun to rise, waking in our dreams, when you're brought down to me, right now i don't want to think right now, close your eyes don't make a sound, you know i'll be there for you, i'll be there: monday.

Oh Well 02:32
i'm sick of hearing all of this complaining that life is way to hard, you're only here for a very short time, you can sit back and whine, or make the most of it now, you never realize it until it slaps you in the face, here's your wake up call, just sit there and waste it away, or get off your ass and make a better life for yourself, i don't see how everyone around me can just throw their lives away, you'd better stop because you're killing yourself, i'd like to see you livfe at least another day, you try to hid it but i can see it in your eyes, emptiness, it's like your not there, i wish you would wake up and try to help yourself for yourself, did you think that i wouldn't find out? the way you've been avoiding me... you wasted your life away, there's nothing i can say.

Chick Song 02:22
wanna take you home, meet my mom and dad, could you be that girl, that i walk around with hand in hand, almost everyday you put a smile on my face, could you be that girl? now you told me that you would always be there, can i count on you, put my trust in you, it means a lot to me all the things that we share, can i count on you, or do you even care, are you the one, can i take you there, where you ain't never been, then you'd make my world a much better place for me to live in, is this only a dream, well i don't want to wake up, to an empty bed, holding a pillow like ti was your head, wanna take you for granted, wanna give you everything, please don't take away everything that i've created, maybe it's something more, maybe it's something less, well i want to take you on, if you give me half a chance now, are you the one?
7.
Running Out 02:22
grab your bottle again, it's all you understand, at least for awhile, you'll leave me alone, i gotta get out of here, before i lose my mind, the walls are closing in, i feel my time is running out, how much more can i take, sometimes i wish you'd die, i swear to god, i'll never be like you, i've played it in my head, a thousand times, i'm packing up, and i'll leave tonight, my time, is running out, i might look like you, but i'm not like you, when i'm gone you'll see, i can't be replaced, played it in my head, a thousand times, i'm packing up and i'm going to get away, well i've played it in my head a thousand times, i'm packing up, gonna get away, i'm gone away, now you find yourself lonely and old, who'll be there for you when you take your fall, why do i care you put me through hell, that's what separates me form you, your time is running out.

Sad Guy 02:54
i'm all alone, staring at the ceiling in my room, no one knows me, i'm a nobody, you'll see, the pressures always grow, and you're just getting old, and full aof apathy, this is my reality, and if you need me i'll be at the innisfree or watching tv, watching tv now , no one called me, no one wants to see me anyway, no on e loves me, i'm a nobody, you'll see, the pressures always grow, and you're just getting old and full of apathy, this is my reality, and if you need me i'll be at the innesfree or watching tv, a quick note before i got, passing by, overload, a beach, a plane, a palm tree, flashing on my tv screen.
9.
Two 02:24
i can't even remember when we became friends, seems like you were always there, we lived our lives with no worries, lived our lives for fun, these days i look and you're not there, you traded me in for a habit, i swear the next time you sleep, you won't wake to see the sun, sometimes my friends they just fade away, like they were never there, i can't sit and watch you die, but when i talk you run and hide, no words will make me see why you try so hard to die, don't think everyone doesn't notice, you come around and always lie, when i think about what you're becoming it makes me want to cry, sometimes my friends they just fade away, like they were never there.
10.
Not Fun 03:03
well i don't think you'll ever know, how bad i want you away, and i don't think you realize, how fast i want you away, every time i think i'm free, you're crawling back to me, just when i think you're gone, you're in my bed with me, i'll get away, i'll leave today, i'll never understand, what i'm doing with you, well i'm going away now, as soon as yesterday, i'll never understand... i never had, i never had any fun, every time i look in the mirror, your reflections staring me back, when i'm walking down the street, i feel you're following me, when you try and make me laugh, i want to run away, and every time you say hello i wish you'd say good-bye.
11.
Pending 02:30
when i first me you, you knocked me off my feet, straight into my heart, well you saw right through me, when we first went out we shared a biggie fry, now i'm all alone but i never super-size, and i wish i never met you, but i'm kind of glad i let you, you've gone away now got the best of me, you stomped my heart in two and left me all alone and empty, you've gone away now you got the best of me, i always knew you'd go, somehow i wish i could make you stay, when we would go out, i'd do everything i could, i pulled out that chair and i held the door for you, but you weren't happy never satisfied, now i'm all alone, but you'll never see me cry, somehow right now i'm glad you're gone away.
12.
Delusion 01:26
a feeling of restraint tightens up my insides, i gotta get away from my own identity, it's here, it's not natural, here they come to take me away, we're all losing our minds, it's just a matter of time before we're there, we're all losing our minds, and there's nothing we can do, I'm sick and tired of running circles in my head, there's no one here, no one under the bed, delusion, confusion, deranged illusions, a sight, a sound, won't give up without a fight, you talk about it, now i'm out of my head, everyday it's the same old story, whens it gonna end? sick and tired of playing we're not even here, sick of the same old games, whens it gonna end? and you drive me out of my head.
