THINK OF ME
This time bomb has been building up for so long
Fire at the end of it's fuse - Fuck You
You bought everything that you've got
What you have it's not real you see
You have no integrity
How great things would be
If you never crossed paths with me
Chorus:
Why did you act like you'd build me up
When all you wanted was to take me down
I hope you think of me when you're burning in Hell
This time bomb is exploding into this song
Realized enemy among us - You Suck
In your mind you may think that you've won
When you stumble out of the haze
Fall upon your last days
Did you think you got away
There's a greater price that you'll pay
Chorus
I hope I never see you again
DESTROY
Everyone has an opinion
But who do you look to for words of wisdom
There's so many roads that you can choose
A different ending win or lose
Let's go
Chances not taken, opportunities gone forever
So justify what you believe in
Looking forward and never glancing back
It's your chance to...
Chorus:
Go let's go
We won't follow or imitate
Go let's go
We can break away
Go let's go
We're gonna live for today
This time we won't be destroyed
Nothing to fear except fear itself
Like a keepsake you put your dreams on a shelf
And we'll never know if we don't try
Life is too short to stay inside
Let's go
Who will decide when it's all over
When all is said and done
And will you know when you have it?
Do you know what it is you want
It's your chance to...
Chorus
Go let's go
Now we can show that this time we won't be destroyed
Nothing to fear except fear itself
Like a keepsake you put your dreams on a shelf
So many roads that you can choose
A different ending win or lose
Let's go
Chances not taken are opportunities gone forever
A canvas that was ruined, unused and gone to waste
It's your chance to...
Chorus
ALL I WANTED
Like the dry and faded leaves
I watch my world around changing
Such a cold and dark season
Raindrops falling with no sun
Because we threw it all away
And there's no one else to blame
Why does this have to be so hard?
Was it in the cards
It was almost ours
When it all became too much
Chorus:
Giving in to giving up
You fall in love just to fall apart
How did we wind up in this place
Where did we break along the way
No ideas and no solutions
Just some broken resolutions
We passed the point of no return
After all this what did we learn?
I guess I never realized at all
That love is blind
As hard as I tried
It just wasn't enough
Chorus
All I wanted
Is to be with you
Is that too much for me to ask
THE PROMISE
If you need a friend
Don't look to a stranger
You know in the end
I'll always be there
And when you're in doubt
And when you're in danger
Take a look all around
And I'll be there
Chorus:
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if you'd wait around a while
I'd make you fall for me
I promise
I promise you I will
When your day is through
And so is your temper
You know what to do
I'm gonna always be there
Sometimes if I shout
It's not what's intended
These words just come out
With no gripe to bear
Chorus
I'm sorry, but I'm just thinking of the right words to say
I know they don't sound the way I planned them to be
But if I had to walk the world
I'd make you fall for me
I promise
I promise you I will
VOICE OF REASON
It's been 48 hours since I've seen you
How can this be so right when it's at the wrong time
Your image doesn't fade out of my view
I close my eyes but I just can't seem to get you out of my mind
Shut out the voice of reason
Chorus:
Never want to say goodbye
Never wanting to let go
So we hold each other close
Before we let go
A different time, a different place
This would end a different way
So we hesitantly say goodbye
I'll never be the same
Promises will see this through
My bet's on you 10 to 1 but it looks like we still lose
You ask for answers I can't give you
You look to me but there's nothing left that I can say to you
Shut out the voice of reason
Chorus
We can't hold on to the past
This can't last forever
Shut out the voice of reason
Chorus
CAN'T GET ENOUGH
From the minute I wake up I feel it
To the second I crash in my bed
Artificial highs I don't need it
It rushes to my head
Chorus:
Can't get enough
Can't get enough
Can't get enough
It's my drug
Can't get enough
Can't get enough
Can't get enough
Of my drug
No need for sleep, can't buy it off the street
The beats in my veins
Can't find it in a pill, it's no cheap thrill
The adrenaline numbs my pain
Chorus
You're gonna need it
Chorus
BLEED TIL TODAY
I feel like I'm screaming in my sleep
I relive it in my head
Where did everything go wrong?
My every move is filled with dread
Stab of the last word that you said
Bleeds over until today
And no matter what I do
I just can't make it go away
I just can't make it go away
Chorus:
You've taken all you can
You'll never understand me
Did you realize it's not as simple as you planned?
If you could see from where I stand
You would see things differently
You say what I want to hear but it's never what you mean
Just when I think you've got it right
It's gone in circles in your mind
Our two voices collide
Leaving destruction deep inside
I'm crawling up and down the walls
Waiting for a moments pause
Fighting for the final word
The final word is never mine
The time the last word will be mine
Chorus
Tell me, does it set your mind at ease?
To have an empty victory
Tell me, does it set your mind at ease?
To see that I won't shed a tear
Chorus
NEXT BIG THING
You can't see the stars in the lit up LA sky
I can see the glisten in your eyes I know you're mesmerized
No line between fantasy and reality
Artificial life in the words of Poly Styrene
Chorus:
Each day brings
The next big thing
Plastered all over the TV screen
They're selling and you're buying
What's on the cover of every magazine
If you don't like me, well, I don't give a damn
I'm not afraid to take a stand
Commercialized you'll find it in the mall
My radio broken against the fucking wall
Chorus
NO APOLOGIES
All the years that put me here
It's always been a fight
Fighting back
Watchful eyes never delve inside
Do you know what I'm all about?
I'm always standing for something
Sometimes I feel I'm standing all alone
Do you understand?
Chorus:
I gave it all I had
I won't take it back
Does it mean something?
No apologies
I won't believe it was all for nothing
Tracing steps back, memories past
Burying ghosts that said this wouldn't last
And now it's change for the better
The day you came around
You were the one there for me
When I was hanging onto a shred of hope
You picked me off the ground
Chorus
DO ANYTHING YOU WANNA DO
Gonna break out of this city, leave the people here behind
Searching for adventure is the type of life to find
Tired of doing day-jobs with no thanks for what I do
I know I must be someone, now I'm gonna find out who
Chorus:
Do anything you wanna do
Don't need no politician, tell me things I ought to be
Neither no optician, tell me what I ought to see
No one tells you nothing even when you know they know
They tell you what you should be, they don't like to see you grow
Chorus
Why don't you ask them what they expect from you?
Why don't you tell them what you are gonna do?
You get so lonely
Maybe it's better that way
And ain't you only
You got something to say
Chorus
HANGING ON
You're floating in your tears
And drowning in your sorrows
When will you come up for air and look toward tomorrow?
You look for someone to hold on to
Who will be there to try to fight off this cruel world?
Who will understand?
Chorus:
How can I
How will I
How can I find the words to say
How can I
How will I
How can I find the words to say
When I've never walked a day in your shoes and you're hanging on
Things will get better you will see
And this feeling will go away
You can't explain it and you think that you will always feel this way
You're running into the glass wall
Who will be the one you trust to catch you when
To catch you when you fall
You know tomorrow won't be as bad
And maybe you will forget all the things that seem so much bigger
They are bigger in your head
Chorus
I don't like to see you this way and you're hanging on
Things will get better you will see
You feel better with each day
You can't explain it and you think that you will always feel this way
Waking up to bright mornings
You don't feel so all alone
You've gotten rid of all your worries
I can hear it in your voice
Seeing things in a new light
You've weathered the storm
You see your days with new insight
It looks brighter than before
Just like a waking dream
Those days are a distant memory
Just like a waking dream
You're coming back to reality
And you're taking it day by day and you're hanging on
Things are much better now you see you feel better with each day
You can't explain it and you know it didn't have to be that way
DISAPPOINTED
I never expect too much from anyone
But it seems you always find a way to take what you can get away from me
And you've taken all that I got
I realize it's time to face reality you don't care about me
It's all so complicated
I thought you were a friend
You ask why I'm so jaded
And I think that you should know that
Chorus:
Sometimes I feel all alone
So many people with no soul
Disappointment sets in again
When I found out you were one of them
So tell me what did you expect from me?
Did you really think I would believe you, that I would pretend not to see
Who you really turned out to be
I realize it's time to face reality you don't care about me
It's all so complicated
I thought you were a friend
You ask why I'm so jaded
And I think that you should know that
Chorus
Do you like awake?
How do you sleep at night?
I guess I should have known what you wanted deep inside
You thought my eyes were closed
You thought that I was blind
You thought I didn't know what was going on the whole time
And I think that you should know that
Chorus
MEA CULPA
If you closed your eyes
You would see much clearer
Free from our confines
Would you paint a new picture?
I can see the hurt in your eyes
Disguised behind our selfish pride
Who'll be the first to apologize
Chorus:
You don't know me at all
We're at our final curtain call
It's now or never at all
Add salt to our pierced, wounded hearts
Or find the words to say it's my fault
When you look at me
The anger obscures your memory
There's no reasoning
When your mind is already made up
Who is wrong and who is right
You look away and avoid my eyes
Who'll be the first to realize?
Chorus
I still believe in something
Do you believe in me?
Believe in me...
La cortina va a cayer
Es muy tarde y ya se paro el tiempo
Es ahora or nunca
Como sal en un corazone herido
Y hayer las palabras para decir mea culpa?
Chorus
We've taken our last curtain call
STREETS AND AVENUES
Welcome home I asked you what was wrong
What has taken you so long?
I see the eyes of a guy I don't recognize
Is the same person hiding inside
A building in the lot where you always used to skate
I rememeber it like it was yesterday
Telling stories of your plans
Pulling your board by my hand
But somewhere along the way
Chorus:
On streets and avenues
You are lost and I'm confused
On streets and avenues
Wasted time and wasted youth
Walking on shards of broken glass
Shattered promises, hopes that didn't last
This used to be your home, the city
Now I see cracked sidewalks and signs fading
Shadows walk in the night, faces you don't recognize
Burned out lights outnumber drifting souls
Fliers tearing off the poles, down one way streets and dusty roads
Lost with nowhere to go
Chorus
Lost with no direction
Our broken connection
I'm learning with each day that, oh, nothing stays the same...
Nothing stays the same forever
Your voice it haunts me still
It all seemed so clear
Chorus
