Nowhere to run, nowhere to turn to,
Is this world is really looking out for you
Dropping bombs in my back yard,
Everyday I pray for a discharge
It’s time to use some common sense,
Open your eyes and take it all in
It’s not about who’s right or wrong
Someday soon we’ll have to get along
Feel the passion, in your heart
Reclaim your feelings
Don’t let it tear you apart
Some things never change
It’s always easier to place the blame
His skin color is not like yours
Should it matter? That’s just doing harm
We’re all humans can’t you see?
Or do you sit blindly watching your T.V.?
It’s not about who’s right or wrong
Someday soon we’ll have to get along
Feel the passion, in your heart
Reclaim your feelings
Don’t let it tear you apart
Come on……..
Feel the passion

It’s a disease….stop the medication
This isn’t fiction so turn the page
Its life’s dirty lessons that make you a failure
In this story there’s young love, youth and rebellion
Turn dead boys into liars and sinners into saints
You’ll never leave this place again
You live life in such bad taste
It’s a disease….stop all this frustration
The book has ended with torn blank pages
It has no meaning, no depth no substance
Your story will go on with such an epic ending
Turn good girls into sad ones and bad ones into saints
They’ll never be the same again
They’ll live life dreaming of what could have been
Good lives, with no heart break
You treat women all the same
Love ‘em and leave ‘em when you’re done
Taking what you can, leave them with nothing to gain
You take the innocence of every girl that you “love”
Without remorse or feeling in your body
Make people feel less then you
When did you become judge jury and executioner?
So bang your head and watch the lies spew out
Feel the pain bring you to your knees
Watch as the light fades
You can’t help the helpless
Never again……never again

Do you have any morals? Or do you choose to just say “fuck ‘em”?
Everyone has quarrels, but only you ignore them
The greedy have no problems, taking what they want
So why do you have problems, without ever speaking up
Rock and roll ain’t glamorous, and punk rock isn’t passive
If you never take a stand, you can’t even call yourself a man
This is a death to apathy, a body filled with hate, no better then one celibate

It’s by design
You won’t look me in the eye
Time to face your fear’s, it seems so goddamn clear
Put up or shut up, it’s the lesson to be learned here
Will you ever see the light of day? No!!!!!!!!!
Turn you back, walk away
It’s not me, it’s you….
It’s you!!!!
Facing a judgment day
Hide behind your beliefs
But that won’t save you from the coming weeks
Salvation from the streets
Living in this hell, you lie, cheat and steal
Family….. Won’t do you wrong!
‘til you…..stab them in the back
You’re dead to us, your dead to me

Self Help In Hard Times

Fantastic, sitting alone, feeling anxiety overwhelm my being
I used to feel safe in my home
No memories of my past, blocked out blacked out
No memories of my past, sought out, candles out
I used to feel safe in this world
I used to feel safe
I billion just like me sitting alone & suffering
I used to feel safe in my skin; you used to feel safe in your skin
No feeling in my heart, cold stop no beating
No feeling in my heart, cold stop no beating dead drop, drop out
I used to feel safe in this world
I used to feel safe
I’ll pray for better days, you’ll drink your life away
There’s no difference, there’s no difference
We’re all the same
Confused, hear me out, no clue what this is all about
Today I’ll change my ways, today I’ll live for better days
Today I’ll change my ways, today I’ll live!!!!

All these seams coming unglued
Pulled apart by those who consume
Lost lives and past tenses
Try to refrain from all this social awareness
It’s not a battle cry for this is real life
Showing my hand laying it all out
Yet you’ve got nothing to show for a cruel life you lead.
This is a battle ground my heart won’t stop beating
Lived my whole life for the love of not winning
Can’t take years of hard work away
Giving in would be my judgment day
And this is what you do…yeah this is what you do
This is what you do, yeah what you do
You’ve done nothing but perpetuate the cycle
Tattered hearts & unforeseeable bliss
A vampire’s kiss, a drink of seduction
Greedy hearts and a lust for consumption!

“Stand tall & be a man” he said, I don’t get what you don’t understand
Nothing in this life is free, especially friends and family
It’s hard to think with no, food in your stomach
Just like it’s hard to do right now, with a gun to your head
So you go down and down and down
For you there’s no way or reason
Only paths of grievance, so you go down and down and down
The bottle is your best friend; sanctuary is only a drink away
It’s easy to get lost in a slow demise when you don’t really care about your life
Waking up is a daily chore, making up is always a bore
It’s easy to get lost in a slow demise when you don’t really care about your life
It’s hard to think with no, food in your stomach
Just like it’s hard to do right now, with a gun to your head
So you go down and down and down
For you there’s no way or reason
Only paths of grievance, so you go down and down and down
1st drink, 2nd drink, 3rd drink you’re spinning on the floor
4th drink, 5th drink, 6th drink you’re looking for more
You can’t stop you’ll always lose
You’ll never fight a never ending battle
If your life you choose
We sit and hope, and hope we don’t lose you
It’s hard to think with no, food in your stomach
Just like it’s hard to do right now, with a gun to your head

Guess you need a well lit path
Or you’ll never get back on track
Your luck has seen better days
You live your life in a fuckin’ haze
The path, the path, the path you lead is looking bad
The path you lead the path you lead
The path you lead is looking bad.
Can’t manipulate the situation
You lie to everyone you know
Feel the life slipping at your fingers
Everyone will see through you
The path, the path, the path you lead is looking bad
The path you lead the path you lead
The path you lead is looking bad.
Thank you, for absolutely nothing at all
You’ve proven me wrong at everything
A catastrophe, a catastrophe till the end
A catastrophe, a catastrophe till the end

Soon you’ll be nothing in this town; I guess you’d have to be something first
All the cool people you know, you’ll never live their life
I’ve seen you on the streets giving kids false hope
You were more punk when you were snorting shit up your nose
So I’ll wait patiently, while you get stripped of your pride
Yeah I’ll wait quietly plotting your demise
I’ll let the truth be told without speaking a word
You’re a coward; your word is no longer good
We’ve all struggled, we’ve all made mistakes
It’s written on the wall, we’ve seen who you are
Your true colors have show and now we all know
You’re a fake, you’re a fake
For everyone you’ve wronged for every bridge you’ve burned
Every person caught in your web ever lie you consumed
It’s been written you’re a fake, It’s been written you’re a fake
CH:
You’re a coward; you’re a coward; you’re a coward; your word is no longer good

When nothing that I do is ever enough
And all of my problems just keep pilling high
Like the leaves in the fall and life just gets cold and unbearable
I’m breaking the cycle so everyday is spring
New growth new hopes new life new fun new me
That’ll be the day, yeah that’ll be the day
Yeah that’ll be the day that I don’t scream
I’m wanna set a fire to that whole leaf pile
I’m gonna watch the smoke and say fuck ‘em all
Chop down the tree while I’m at it
So the same problems don’t fall again nest year
It’s so fucking hard when your axe gets stolen
And your lighter its, your lighter it’s broken
And the same goddamn tree, that same goddamn tree
Just keeps looming over me
When nothing that I do, is ever enough
When nothing that I do, is ever enough

11yrs strong, never talked to you again
Feeling at peace, you got the disease and it spreads
Countdown starts from 5
Glad I’m still alive
You treat me like shit
All the lies will end
Take a look at what you’ve done to this family as a whole
Nothing you can do or say can fix the problems of yesterday
Your life ends at 5
And we’re all still alive
It’s coming to an end
No more tears my friend!

Got Perspective on life
Give me a chance and I’m sure you’ll find
My true colors only shine
When you look inside my head
Vague answers are hard to read
When you know nothing about me
Cold stares, cold feet, a broken mirror looking back at me
CH:
I’ve got a million thoughts waiting to be seen
Yet you think, you think I’m crazy
Try to depict and decipher
My every move and thought and you’ll see
My mind is more…more complex
Then you ever thought it would be
CH:
I’ve got a million thoughts waiting to be seen
Yet you think, you think I’m crazy
I’ve got my own mind; I don’t need to be told
I’ve got my own thoughts; I don’t need to be pushed
I don’t need you to tell me who or what I should be
I’ll be me!!!
I don’t need, I don’t need, I don’t need you to tell me!!! (2x’s)
Who or what I should be
I’ll be me!!!!
