Why does it feel like night today?
Something in heres not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I dont know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed / but
I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
Its like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when its time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me / right beneath my skin
Its like Im / paranoid lookin over my back
Its like a / whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I / cant stop what Im hearing within
Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know Ive got a face in me
points out all the mistakes to me
Youve got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoias probably worse
I dont know what set me off first but I know what I cant stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I cant add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when they close their eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
So you know that when its time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too / right inside your skin
Its like Im / paranoid lookin over my back
Its like a / whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I / cant stop what Im hearing within
Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin

Its like Im / paranoid lookin over my back
Its like a / whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I / cant stop what Im hearing within
Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin

the face inside is right beneath my skin
the face inside is right beneath my skin
the face inside is right beneath my skin

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me

The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me

The sun
Its like Im / paranoid lookin over my back
Its like a / whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I / cant stop what Im hearing within
Its like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I feel the light betray me

The sun
Its like Im / paranoid lookin over my back
Its like a / whirlwind inside of my head
Its like I / cant stop what Im hearing within
I feel the light betray me
Its like I / cant stop what Im hearing within
Its like I / cant stop what Im hearing within

 

 

 

I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway
Just like before...

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Just like before...

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Break break break break break

shut up when I'm talking to you
shut up shut up shut up
shut up when I'm talking to you
shut up shut up shut up shut up
Im about to break

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Break break break break break break

shut up when I'm talking to you
shut up shut up shut up
shut up when I'm talking to you
shut up shut up shut up shut up
Im about to break

Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break

 

I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you

You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes

I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake slow to react
So even though you're close to me
You're still so distant
And I can't bring you back

It's true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you

You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes

No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No, no matter how far we've come I
I can't wait to see tomorrow

With you
You, Now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes
With you
You, Now I see, keeping everything inside
with you
You, Now I see, Even when I close my eyes

 

Forfeit the game / Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame / Puts your name to shame
Cover up your face / You cant run the race
The pace is too fast / You just won't last

You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life
My pride is broken

You like to think youre never wrong
(You live what youve learned)
You have to act like youre someone
(You live what youve learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what youve learned)
You want to share what youve been through
(You live what youve learned)

You love the things I say Ill do
The way Ill hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in / my life
My pride is broken

You like to think youre never wrong
(You live what youve learned)
You want to act like youre someone
(You live what youve learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what youve learned)
You want to share what youve been through

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real


there's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
consuming/confusing
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending
controlling/I can't seem


to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real

discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
distracting/reacting
against my will I stand beside my own reflection
it's haunting how I can't seem...

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride / from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I / sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I / try to catch them red - handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I cant hold on / when Im stretched so thin
I make the right moves but Im lost within
I put on my daily façade but then
I just end up getting hurt again

by myself [myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I cant rely on myself

[myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I cant rely on myself

I cant hold on
To what I want when Im stretched so thin
Its all too much to take in
I cant hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

If I
Turn my back Im defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on / then theyll
Take from me till everything is gone
If I let them go Ill be outdone
But if I try to catch them Ill be outrun
If Im killed by the questions like a cancer
Then Ill be buried in the silence of the answer

[by myself]
[myself]
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I cant rely on myself
[myself]

I cant hold on
To what I want when Im stretched so thin
Its all too much to take in
I cant hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in

How do you think / Ive lost so much
Im so afraid / Im out of touch
How do you expect / I will know what to do
When all I know / Is what you tell me to
Dont you (know)
I cant tell you how to make it (go)
No matter what I do, how hard I (try)
I cant seem to convince myself (why)
Im stuck on the outside

(It starts with)
One thing / I dont know why
It doesnt even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
Its so unreal
Didnt look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didnt even know
Wasted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I tried
so hard

And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter

One thing / I dont know why
It doesnt even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
Im surprised it got so (far)
Things arent the way they were before
You wouldnt even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I
I tried so hard

And got so far
But in the end
It doesnt even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesnt even matter

Ive put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
Theres only one thing you should know
Ive put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
Theres only one thing you should know
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesnt even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesnt even matter

 

I watch how the
Moon sits in the sky / in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give / light to the moon assuming
The moons going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me / You do
Favors and then rapidly / You just
Turn around and start asking me / about
Things you want back from me
Im sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you dont understand
(Youll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday Ill be just like you / and
Step on people like you do and / Run
Away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm / used to be strong
Used to be generous / but you shouldve known / That youd
Wear out your welcome / now you see
How quiet it is / all alone / Im so
Sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed
While / I find a place to rest / Im so
Sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed
While / I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you dont understand
(Youll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you dont understand
(Youll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Shut...up

Im so sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

Im so sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

 

 

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core Ive forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory wont escape me
But why should I care

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core Ive forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory wont escape me
But why should I care

Theres a place so dark you cant see the end
(Skies cock back) and shock that which cant defend
The rain then sends dripping / an acidic question
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes shut / looking though the rust and rot
And dust / a spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its dark again

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core Ive forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory wont escape me
But why should I care

In the memory youll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Moving all around / screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go round and the sunset creeps behind
Street lamps, chain-link and concrete
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn floats
On down the street till the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the papers crumpled up it cant be perfect again

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core Ive forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory wont escape me
But why should I care

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core Ive forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory wont escape me
But why should I care

In the memory youll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
Im telling you that
I see it right through you

Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
Im telling you that
I see it right through you

Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
Im telling you that
I see it right through you

Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
Im telling you that
I see it right through you

Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
Im telling you that
I see it right through you

Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
Im telling you that
I see it right through you

Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
Im telling you that
I see it right through you

In the memory youll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

In the memory, you will find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up

 

Ive lied / to you
The same way that I always do
This is / the last smile
That Ill fake for the sake of being with you

Everything falls apart / even the people who never frown / eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end / youll soon find were out of time left / to watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Ive tried / like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is / the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you

Everything falls apart / even the people who never frown / eventually break down
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Everything has to end / youll soon find were out of time left / to watch it all unwind
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away

Were all out of time / this is how we learn how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Were all out of time / this is how we learn how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing why...

Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
pushes me away
