Faktion Album

Concentrating on my knees
Cause they're no help to me
I find myself with simple questions
And simple needs

Bleeding forces gather me
Undo my weakness and appease
My sadness and guilt
Of what was done for me

Chorus:
I'll know what you are
The light in the dark
And I'll see what you are

Forgive me

And I'll take what you are
Over again
I'll need nothing more

Take me

Many voices speak
Many times I am weak
Many things escape
It's part of me
Many chances that I take
To kill you again
It should've been me
And Everyone

Repeat Chorus

Take me
See who you are
Know who you are
See who you are
Take me

Repeat Chorus

Take me

On a one way highway
Only lights to lead the way
My life left behind me
The music begins to play
With the stars to see me
Liberation lifts the shell that's on me
In a newborn image
I'm the only one who sees

Chorus:
Let the music take control
Only driven by the light that it shows
Don't take away my light
It's the only thing keeping me alive

As I'm walking forward
My shadow's got my back
I'm free from all that binds me
Still holding things intact
Now the stars can free me
As I drift into this melody
In my newborn image
I'm the only one who sees

Repeat Chorus

I found a new life
Inside this world
I found my light
I'm not letting go
Now I see all I've been searching for
It's all in sight
I found my life

Repeat Chorus

On a one way highway

I've never seen
Such an opening
I've never had
Such a plan that turned out right
It's not right
I'm losing pride
You steal what is real from me
You try to make me break
I'll take your pride

Chorus:
Take it all away, take it all away
Take it out of sight
You wonder why I'm broken
Take it all away, take it all away
Take it out of sight
You wonder why I have to lie

You never cared about anything
I even wondered
If you knew that I was alive
That's not right
I'm losing pride
You steal what is real from me
You try to make me break
I'll take your pride

Repeat Chorus

Don't push me
You're pushing me
Don't push me
You're pushing me
Take it away from me
Take it all away
I'll take your pride

The things that make us deep
Are the things that we don't speak
Well, you and I
We don't feel like we used to
Every day's a memory gone by
What they are to me
Too many words to ever speak
So I'm here inside
And I'm still alive

Chorus:
How do we make it all real
I just can't decide
I want to know you for a while
Instead of letting you go again
I can't be stuck here forever, you know
I'm on fire, I am
I'm letting you know
I'm letting you go
I watch you go

The things that bring us together
Only wait to tear us apart
Time goes passing over us

We get lost within our hearts
And nobody ever can remember
How we got there strong or not
We've gone limber and bent ourselves
Towards our differences now
Pulling us apart

Repeat Chorus

They always try to tell you
You'll be aright in time
But what do they know
They're just another
That's missing something on the inside

And how we'll ever be
Better than a memory
Is the question
You will ask me
You will ask me in your dreams

In your dreams
You will ask me in your dreams
I will see you in your dreams

Six o' clock and I'll be ready
Lesson learned, my hands are steady
One more day, and I'll be home
Living with regret of what I've done
How could I waste what we have on her
We can't go out that way

Chorus:
I go to sleep by your side almost every night
I crave the feeling of your skin,
as it presses against mine
Now that I'm so far from home
I know you're sleeping alone
You're hoping that I remember what you mean to me

I've always known where I was heading
Forgetting the fact that you're not ready
It's six o' clock, I'm all alone
Missing all I've left at home
How could I waste what we have on her
We can't go out that way

Repeat Chorus

I'm lost without you

Repeat Chorus

It's not the way you see me
It's the way you let me down
I can't believe that it hurts this much
When I hear your voice
You're calling out to me
Though you know I can't be with you

Chorus:
So please don't leave
Just remember to keep some distance
And remember you've already had your chance with me
I hope you see
I could never be without you
Just try to see the way that I see

It's not the way you need me
It's the way you drag me down
I can't believe that it hurts this much
I still hear your voice
You're calling out to me
Though you know I can't be with you

Repeat Chorus

You're a constant echo
That I hear ringing in my ears
I see you
I see the way you see me
You're a constant hurting
That gets the best of me
I see you - I see the way you see me

Times like these are dangerous

and I've noticed
You speak with your agenda
I never knew you, you're lost
I'm so afraid to keep you
And it might be my demise, but I see it in your eyes
It's something that I need
Even if you take it from me

Chorus:
Maybe I'll be fine
Maybe I'll be better than yesterday
Maybe I'll take time
To understand the place where you left me
Maybe I'll be right
But you wont remember
You heard it a different way
So I'll take mine
And walk away

Times like these are worried
And yet it seems
You focus on the means
You couldn't seem to level off
And take the time to be here
Well it might be my demise
But I see it in your eyes
It's something that I need
Even if you take it from me

Repeat Chorus

Selling out your friends as you come to me
But you were selling me out to them
And now I dream without you

Repeat Chorus

I'm so disappointed and all alone
I miss my childhood and all I've known

Is this wanting all I need
I know I'd find the answer

If I could only see, if I could only see
The answer lies in me

Chorus:
It's all too hard to force a change
We fret too much about this world
Just be your own and face each day
Answers will slowly come your way

I'm so full of purpose, but void of means
I can't be certain of anything

Has this wanting taken me
I know I'd find the answer

If I could only see, if I could only see
The answer lies in me

Repeat Chorus

I would like to make things perfect,
but I can't seem to get it right
Only steps away from the answers,
but I can't reach them
Now, I realize the answers will come to me in time
I cannot reach them
They can reach me

I want to be a pilot
Sail across the air
Floating through the aftermath of dreams I never shared
Now I see you
Standing in my dreams
And yet I think about the place I want to be

Chorus:
And it eats you up inside
But you can be anything that you want to be
I won't let it eat you up inside
Cause you can see anything that you want to see

I try to be the writer
Whose stories you will read
But you don't care to be on the same level as me
Now I see you
Standing in my dreams
And still I think about the place I want to be

Chorus:
And it eats me up inside
But I can be anything that I want to be
I won't let it eat me up inside
I can see anything that I want to see

Bridge:
You can never see
What it means to me
You can never see inside my dreams
When you're watching me
And I'm stumbling
I see you smiling
You could never be
Just a memory
I'll always keep you by my side
What I have to see
Is a life that's free
Why don't you let me dream?

Repeat Chorus

You're always wanting more

All the things that you want to see
Have been taken away from you again
All the lies that you sold to me
I see you have pushed them inside again
I see you falling down again
But will you be able to pick yourself
back up again

Chorus:
Someday you'll know
That you seem so insecure
All these feelings
As you're falling
But always wanting more
Feelings you've shown
Won't likely be ignored
Never fading
Always waiting
You're always wanting more

All your pleasures have brought you greed
Only thinking about yourself again
All the things that you say you need
Are the poisons that eat you from within
I see you've fallen down again
But will you be able to pick yourself
back up again

Staring out the window as the world goes by
The hours pass too slow
Thinking back to the time before when this dream
was just a vision in my mind
I hate the fact that I have to leave
But I know if I don't I never will
It's time to move on, I have to move on

Chorus:
I know I'm not prepared
for a life that keeps me far from home
But I know if I just sit there, I'll never find out who I am

Staring out the window, a whole new world's outside
I'm waiting by the phone
I need to hear a familiar voice,
encouragement to get me through this ride
I hate the fact that I had to leave
But I know if I don't I never will
It's time to move on, I have to move on

Repeat Chorus

Everything is different
I'm seeing things that I've never seen before
So different

I know I'm not prepared
for a life that keeps me far from home
I know if I just sit there, I'll never find me
I know I'm not prepared
for a life that keeps me far from home
I know I'm happy here

Yesterday I hit the ground
I felt so down
I let some baggage that I don't need get the best of me
Some days I wake up with a frown
Easily annoyed by any sound
I wish this negativity would stay away from me

Chorus:
Today is a new day
I'm awake and expecting so much more
This pain can hurt no more
I washed it away
Now I'm standing at the door
The world looks better today
It's so much better today

I had no reason to feel down
For I have found that my negativity starts inside of me
Waiting for things to turn around
Tired, tired of feeling bound
I wish this negativity would stay away from me

Repeat Chorus

I'm making the decision to turn my back on yesterday
Now I know I'm in control
I will make it better today
