what makes you think that it'll all work out in the end.
 afraid to feel bad. better off to try and pretend. I'm
 immortal, immune to all that is wrong. just keep on wishing.
 crossing my fingers. so long. is this helping? i'm growning
 weaker each day. can't stop whining.
 still afraid of what i might say or reactions, that control us one and all.

 [chorus]
 It's mine, it's pure and as decent as i can make myself.
 Inside, we all know, only the strong survive.

 Why don't you think about that?
 so now i'm bleeding on myself yes once again.
 seems i trusted another deceitful freind. my fault. should've known the deal.
 keep your friends close, but your enemies closer, for real.
 seems easy, but nothing could be so hard. trying to guess lifes
 dealing. what's the next card? I'm surely folding.
 i don't like this hand at all.

 [chorus]

 Keep those eyes wide open, here comes a blind side.

 maybe things happen for a reason and wherein lies the answer.
 to overcome the grieving of lifes unruly lessons. i'm handed
 in sucession. it builds my pain which makes me strong.

 [chorus]

 Why don't you think about that??


 2. Payback

 There's another reflection involved up in my mind
 A wholeness that has just been lost
 Striving hard for perfection but still nothing to find
 Some value with a cheaper cost
 And as I reach out to hear you the sound is so muffled
 It makes a lesser man of me
 So the only thing left to bring up to date is

 [chorus]
 You suck!
 Watch me fall while I go down
 I'm taking all you bastards to the ground with
 me then I'll frown
 On your fucking whole life
 The systematic hype still means a bit much to me
 [repeat]

 I'm at the point of retraction and still slipping further
 This place is getting worse for me
 There's such a lack of direction and models to live by
 No bright skies ahead of me
 And as I reach out for your hand you turn and
 then wander
 Why I simply just can't see
 No separation of gender no difference in me
 You're just leading me on and on and on
 You lead me on and on and on and on

 [chorus]

 Pretty soon it's gonna come back and be your turn
 Pretty soon you're gonna be the one that burns

 [chorus]

 Your turn now


 3. My Letter

 This is my letter to you

 We started following a certain description.
 We started simple and fair once again
 Before there wasn't any need for an answer
 Things were much different then

 [Chorus]
 But now you question who I am.
 Who I am inside
 Now there's nothing left to hide.
 So here it goes
 This is my letter
 Hope you're alright. It's been rough for me
 thinking all night. About the places I'd be
 If I maybe, just did a little bit more you might've
 Let me, become a man for sure
 And if I might, express one concern it seems an
 issue. All day at every turn
 What's the next step, the latest hole in my life
 What's next for me to learn

 Engulf myself into a permanent mystery.
 No one day just as the next.
 not for me
 It's so confusing when I look at my history.
 I just can't handle that yet.
 No

 [chorus]

 One more friendship ends.
 And then for awhile.
 I can breathe again

 [chorus]


 4. Get Up Again

 Here we go again

 A very temperamental process, beginning with
 all of our excess
 Affecting our very own ingest, this side of
 you is speechless
 Overwhelmed with an abscess, creating new diseases
 And infecting whomever it pleases, we've been
 living this way for too long, too long

 Then I noticed a difference, in the way that I
 saw other insects
 Who were living a life of indulgence, sheltered
 by their parents
 Such an unlucky existence, not given a
 chance to experience
 And make their own decisions, I wouldn't trade
 my own mistakes at all

 [Chorus]
 Reach out your hands
 Out for the ones who, aid when the going gets rough
 Until the end.
 These are the ones who, help when the times get tough
 And times will get tough.
 Get up again.
 Times will get tough.
 Get up again

 Here it comes once again

 [chorus]


 5. Whole

 So Maybe I am Bound By Fate
 A Problematic Scarring Induced By Hate
 It Never Seems To All Pan Out
 Is That What All This Teaching Is Needed To Scout
 You Seemed To Have A Bad Effect
 Your Rules And Contradictions I would Neglect
 Though Not My Fault You Made Me Feel
 Like My Own Education Wasnt Truly Real
 Then You Came Right In Tearing Out My Soul
 How Could All This Loss Be Your Only Goal
 I'm Left Standing Here Desperate In The Cold
 Since You Took Your Life Mine Has not Been Whole
 So There I Stood A Scolded Child
 The Reasons Never Questioned My Pains Been Filed
 Inside This Place That Makes Me Feel
 I learned Life Is Unfair And That Is Very Real
 [Chorus]
 While You Try To Overcome The Lesson
 Makeing The most Of Those Questions That Just
 Keeps Me Guessing
 I'm Looking Longer, Harder, Further Than I Ever Have
 Solitude Breaking Me Down You Always Seemed Glad
 To Put Me down And Stick Me In That little Pit
 Personal Growth As A child That Mattered Not A Bit
 Then I Became The Person That You Hated Most
 Disrespecting The Father, Son, And Holy Ghost
 A Small Example Of What The Things You've Done To Me
 Have Changed In My Life And Changed The Things
 I'll Never Be
 I'll Never Be
 [Chorus]


 6. Amendment

 Come on and brace your face
 Engulfed up in the rat race we hold our futures down
 So just resist the plot and find the answer
 etched eternal
 as we self destruct

 [Chorus]
 day by day
 one by one
 more example of disrespect
 that you seem to offer no more than complete neglect
 a generation with fate all tied
 this aint a game
 we dont enjoy this ride

 try to perceive the lie
 all caught up in your own high
 opinions of yourself
 should be concerned about your life
 theres been enough strife to crash a persons hope
 and as the days delay our every other move
 we've been consumed by apathy
 thats right
 it has become a pain
 inside my brain is screaming
 look what you've done to me

 [chorus]

 Break
 its just the break we're givin em
 Break
 its just the break that you're givn' em
 Break

 layed to waste out in the open
 turned away once again
 this isn't right
 this ain't supposed to happen
 now life's too short
 we shouldn't have to die
 and i have had to stop all of my emotions
 why
 oh bittering faith escapes agian, agian
 just look at what we have done
 will you look at who we've become
 priorities astray
 it goes on and on each day
 we've wrecked their only try
 and still we wonder why
 we're recipients
 Of hate Motherfucker

 break your back
 just once and then you know
 you gotta
 face your fright
 that's right
 yeah
 with your five second morals and your three second smile
 you just
 face your fright
 that's right
 yeah
 with your five second morals and your three second smile
 you just
 face your fright
 that's right
 yeah
 with your five second morals and your three second smile
 you just
 face your fright
 that's right
 yeah
 with your five second morals and your three second smile
 you just


 7. Scheme

 It woke up in me years ago how this was meant to be
 all of those falsehoods plain to see they dug
 and hung their greed
 will there be profit you could see if only we were blind
 lonely and sheltered, our life is free but it's
 still one step behind
 just like me, they tried their rules on me
 they tried their rules on me, me, me
 i broke those chains and fucking split
 and so you and so you and so you and so you
 pass all the fascist asses ignore those classes
 of bottleneck masses
 producing an all but awful stench, delivering a
 section off all the money stole and spent
 as you start to recognize you're in the game
 growing afflictions head to toe, this never
 should have been
 but placing blame is cowardly restructure must begin
 will there be profit you could see if only we were blind
 lonely and sheltered your life is free, but it's
 still one step behind
 [chorus]
 yes and the playing board is you...


 8. What I Have To Do

 Well it seems as though everyone's been led astray far away from.
 From what we know, still can't find a reason or
 the right words to say. It'll be ok.

 [Prechorus]
 Wrapped up in all the things that are wrong.
 It's the only trial so far, as the verdict falls down you still break away.

 [chorus]
 Caught up in a social degradation, you can't even see the truth.
 We're only half as good at personal relations, look around and see the proof.
 Only a few of us go in the right direction, even though we're singled out.
 It's the only thing that keeps
 me alive, I do what I have to do.

 How was I to know, force fed corporate trials each day, every single day.
 But we must grow, echoing the single most thing in the way.

 [prechorus]
 [chorus]

 Not slipping, still drifting, falling one step further from the norm.
 What is the norm? Not living, longing, trying so much
 harder than before. What if I, what if I run far away?
 Would I still be seen the same? Break away.

 [chorus]

 It's what I want.


 9. Inner Strength

 Here we sit all alone in an outnumbered fight
 led to decipher between wrong and right
 and some may fail at this joke that some of
 us call life
 yes at this game some call life
 but the system can't bail me out of hell
 i've made this descovery and it has helped
 all i've got is myself i have faith in that
 believe and one day you'll do just as well now
 as you were you little puppet you pauper you
 freak that's right
 that's what some of them have said to me
 so i object and try to figure things out for myself
 i'm building up full emotional wealth
 [chorus]
 the inner strength is what the hate it wants
 us not to feel
 it's time that we helped there's no room to fail
 you already know the way out of hell
 all we got is ourselves i have faith in that
 believe and one day
 we'll put the system in jail, we'll put the system in jail
 i made it through scraped black and blue
 but so can you i made it through so black and blue
 but you can too i made it through scraped
 black and blue
 but so can you i've made it through
 we'll all make it through
 [chorus]


 10. Best I Am

 Long.
 I've Been Running away for far too long
 Afraid of what
 Afraid of what I know is soon to come
 I may not be much of an example right now
 But I can give you all of my knowledge on how
 to get along in this place
 right now all I can say

 [Chorus]
 Is that I will do the best that I can
 to be a good example of man
 I know one day that You'll understand
 you deserve the best that I am
 you deserve the best that I am

 It's So hard
 so hard to think about when I was child
 so angry at life
 I blamed the world for such a long long time
 But Things happened so quickly
 some people just go
 I needed answers to heal me
 I wanted to know how to get by
 and now its my turn to say

 [chorus]

 This is all for you
 everything in this world
 everything in my world
 everything in your world
 things wont always go right in this life
 theres always changes
 we'll make it

 [Chorus]


 11. Out Of Whack

 maybe nobody told you about this life
 maybe nobody answered your questions why
 simple revelations they come in time
 those liars told us things would all be fine
 born out of whack give him something possible
 you thought it would've mattered
 not likely to change things we've come too far
 where innocent young kids are put behind bars
 but it's an easy decision banished so far
 you're not as civil as you think you are
 [chorus]
 you say we're all born out of whack
 well don't act so surprised how there's been
 a lot going on
 since you realized that we're all just kids trying
 to get along
 so answer one thing
 are you gonna stay inside. are you gonna stay
 inside of our minds?
 are we all born wrong?
 [chorus]


 12. Reliance

 so you think the areas gray but it continues each day
 a bad example of the attitude you portray
 act like I owe you my life you should be
 burdened with strife
 so i continue to pray hope that
 you'll go away
 a bad addiction to a home wrecking thing who plays
 with my heart and that's the bottom line
 i feel so empty
 what can you give me that I can't give myself
 and what part of my life can you fix, that I
 can't fix my damn self
 god i'm losing patience each day i've put
 myself in harms way
 can't seem to justify none of the shit you say
 can't find another way out here's nothing left
 but pure doubt
 i'm on the verge of pulling my hair straight out
 so if you listen to me not to the powers that be
 we're not supposed to be together can't you see
 in decision is the bottom line i feel so empty now
 [chorus]
 i'm gonna show you now this time i'm getting out
 i've said it many times but this time I have
 figured out
 just how i'm moving on it's taken way too long
 inside I know i'll feel much better when you're
 really gone
 [chorus]


 13. One More Time

 There must be something you can recommend.
 I've lost my faith in man again
 So sick of trying to pretend.


 Same pain over and over again
 How much longer do you think we'll stand.
 So little left here to live for
 By the time my life is at its end.

 [Chorus]
 I want it back one more time
 Let me try one more time.
 Live my life one more time
 We never seem ready for this

 It keeps on haunting me day after day. Am I
 going about things the right way
 Which truth's to pass and with which truth's to say
 It's all so hard I'm just so damn afraid
 Had about as much as I can take.
 So little left here to live for
 By the time my life is at its end.
 I'll want it back

 [chorus]

 I need the chance to live my life one more time
 Give me the chance to live my life one more time
