Face to Face Album

fake, even when you're sure this time it's real
pain, isn't just defined by what you feel

it isn't so wrong
to be where you're from
the image of what you are
can be overcome

angst, you'd cut out your heart to spite your mind
stay, even if it's just a waste of time

it isn't so wrong
to be where you're from
the image of what you are
can be overcome

I let my guard down

Where did you go?
So far away
It seems like everybody tried to tell you everything
And who are you?
Who are they?
Seems like everybody wants to give themselves away

Three days old
Anyway
So you're tired and the inspiration's gone away
Where are you?
In harm's way
Seems like everything is broken

And it feels like I might break
On this ordinary day
Why do we need to change?
When we were perfect yesterday?

Having trouble comprehending
I was sure that I was who I thought I was
And if you want the truth
Then I blame them
I blame you and I blame myself

In all this pomp and circumstance
I failed to see that I had missed my chance
Without a word to say
I waited
As you turned and walked away

you could say I might find it difficult
to show it on the outside
from far away
I should seem as ordinary as would seem the truth
but all we find
dishonesty and lies
it's hard to recognize the truth
and why can't I discover what the reason is
that I know there's something left that I should prove

I didn't mean to burden you
is there something more to this?
I didn't mean to burden you
is there something more to this?
was it something that I've already missed?

peel away the fear that I'm not good enough
to give back what I've taken
it's hard to say
the dissappointment tends to make
the optimism fade
I'm still behind and running out of time
it's nothing but a trite excuse

and why can't I discover what the reason is
that I know there's something left that I should prove

In a flash I'll change the universe
Or at least the world I knew
I'm so sick and tired of watching those
Who say and never do
And you're right
You're right
You're right

And this waiting seems to last for house
As I wait impatiently
And it's hard to find the strength inside
To be who I should be
And you're right
You're right
You're right

Why should I believe the words
You're telling me are true?
It doesn't seem like anybody feels the way I do

I'm not too proud to say when I was wrong
Everyone hates a know-it-all

So I thought i'd change the universe
And the world I thought i knew
But it seems that change is relative
To what we believe is true
And you're right
You're right
You're right

close your eyes and try to get to sleep now
don't you make a peep now
we hear everything
shut the door and make it clean and neat now
you've been so discreet now
we've seen everything
inside your heart of hearts you know

pick yourself up off the floor and stand now
wash away your sin now
you've got everything
inside your heart of hearts you know
will you choose to hid it in your soul?

if it's wrong
and I'm feeling so indifferent
I might be in danger of myself

shut your mouth and get yourself to sleep now
don't let then hear you weep now
you've got everything
inside your heart of hearts you know
will you choose to hide it in your soul?

he's never going back
refuses to be left behind
he doesn't understand
how they so easily made up their minds

you had it in your hands
so how is it so hard to find?
you still don't understand
the reason you've been treated so unkind

there's nowhere left for you to hide
afraid and bound by your design
if you don't know what you're looking for
what will you find?
you need a little time
do you can get your head around your mind
if you don't know what you're looking for
what will you find?
something you don't like?

you never get it back
do what's the point in killing time?
you still don't understand the reason
you've been treated so unkind

Please excuse my point of view
And allow me to intrude
I have given up on what i thought i knew
And our ignorance is bliss
So we're hiding out in it
And i guess it doesn't matter what we've missed

Would it scare you away if i was 65 feet tall?
Would it make you afraid if there was nothing left at all?
Nothing left at all

Its nearly impossible
Highly improbable
But not hopeless

We are swallowed up in it
And its neither here nor there
So it makes no sense that anyone would care
And it feels like innocence
When you chose not to resist
We fulfill our needs at everyone's expense

Would it scare you away if i was 65 feet tall?
Would it make you afraid if there was nothing left at all?
Nothing left at all

Its nearly impossible
Highly improbable
But not hopeless

Its nearly impossible
Highly improbable
But not hopeless

Its nearly impossible
Highly improbable
But not hopeless

even if it make you want to stop and stare
you'd be better off it you were unaware
everybody wants to see that it's not them

focused and unaffected
you'll get what you expected

you're boring and predictable
doesn't everybody want to get their hands
on everything that they desire?
I know you're not afraid
and I know exactly what you want to be

even still you want to take what you can't get
you'd be better off if you could just forget
there isn't anyone who lives without regret

so it seems to be that no one really cares
and so the struggle to achieve the lion's share
and I know what you are
I'm not what you are

It's all right
Everything is fine
You live the perfect life
Never one immoral thought inside your mind

What they say
Does it make you feel ashamed?
Isn't everyone the same?
Does it matter that it wasn't your idea
God is a man


You know for certain
The knowledge in and of itself
Is more than we deserve

So you've tried
And you've made up your mind
Something's still not right
The devil you don't know is still outside

It feels like there's nothing I can do
It feels like there's nothing left to do
Always feels like I must
Wait
Just a while
Because "anything worth having is worth the wait"
So it seems
That this waiting's left us somewhere in-between


It feels like there's nothing I can do
It feels like there's nothing left to do

Blind ambition is overrated
Apathetic bored and jaded now

You forget something
I wanted to be left alone

and all I thought I want I lost it all tonight

do you know there's only so much you control?
you can try to save my soul if you like
but I'm sure this time it's no different

you are all the same
go the way you came
different names
but very little else has changed
difficult to find
easy to resign
didn't seem to matter when I didn't mind

out before it's in
everybody wins
give them what they want
and they are giving in
nothing in return
will we ever learn?
it's jumbled
and it's getting harder to discern

I run my mind circles
the vertigo
I've had enough
it feels as though nothing's going to change

did you hear that?
it sounds like I'm losing my faith
did you feel that?
it feels like I'm so far away

but if I knew what I know now
this wouldn't be so wrong
now I'm back to where I started from

and if I was sure then I'd be right
but I guess I've lost this fight
wait until the next time

I can feel it
it feels like my luck's going to change
I can see it
it seems like this time it's ok

and if I was sure then I'd be right
but I guess I've lost this fight
wait until the next time
I know I was close that time before
there's still a need for something more
wait until the next time
