Flaw Album

What makes me think that it'll all work out in the end
Afraid to feel bad, better off to try and pretend
I'm immortal, immune to all that is wrong
Just keep on wishing, crossing my fingers so long
Is this helping, I'm growing weaker each day
Can't stop whining, still afraid of what I might say
Or reactions, that control us one and all

It's mine, it's pure and, as decent as I can make myself
Inside, we all know, only the strong survive
Why don't you think about that

So now I'm bleeding on myself, yes once again
Seems I trusted another deceitful friend
My fault, should've known the deal
Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer for real
Seems easy, but nothing could be so hard
Trying to guess life's dealing, what's the next card
I'm surely folding, I don't like this hand at all

(Chorus)

Keep those eyes wide open, here comes a blind side
Maybe things happen for a reason, and wherein lies the answer
To overcome the grieving, of life's unruly lessons
I'm handed in succession, it builds my pain which makes me strong

(Chorus)

There's another reflection involved up in my mind 
A wholeness that has just been lost 
Striving hard for perfection but still nothing to find 
Some value with a cheaper cost 
And as I reach out to hear you the sound is so muffled 
It makes a lesser man of me 
So the only thing left to bring up to date is 

(chorus:)
You suck! Watch me fall while I go down 
I'm taking all you bastards to the ground with me then I'll frown 
On your fucking whole life 
The systematic hype still means a bit much to me 

(chorus) 

I'm at the point of retraction and still slipping further 
This place is getting worse for me 
There's such a lack of direction and models to live by 
No bright skies ahead of me 
And as I reach out for your hand you turn and then wander 
Why I simply just can't see 
No seperation of gender no difference in me 
You're just leading me on and on and on 
You lead me on and on and on and on 

(chorus) 

Pretty soon it's gonna come back and be your turn 
Pretty soon you're gonna be the one that burns 

(chorus) 

This is my letter to you

We started following a certain description. 
We started simple and fair once again
Before there wasn't any need for an answer
Things were much different then

(Chorus:)
But now you question who I am. 
Who I am inside
Now there's nothing left to hide. 
So here it goes
This is my letter
Hope you're alright. It's been rough for me
thinking all night. About the places I'd be
If I maybe, just did a little bit more you might've
Let me, become a man for sure
And if I might, express one concern it seems an
issue. All day at every turn
What's the next step, the latest hole in my life
What's next for me to learn

Engulf myself into a permanent mystery. 
No one day just as the next. 
not for me
It's so confusing when I look at my history. 
I just can't handle that yet. 
No

(chorus)

One more friendship ends. 
And then for awhile. 
I can breathe again

Here we go again

A very temperamental process, beginning with
all of our excess
Affecting our very own ingest, this side of
you is speechless
Overwhelmed with an abscess, creating new diseases
And infecting whomever it pleases, we've been
living this way for too long, too long

Then I noticed a difference,
in the way that I saw other insects
Who were living a life of indulgence, sheltered
by their parents
Such an unlucky existence, not given a
chance to experience
And make their own decisions, I wouldn't trade
my own mistakes at all

(Chorus:)
Reach out your hands
Out for the ones who, aid when the going gets rough
Until the end. 
These are the ones who, help when the times get tough
And times will get tough. 
Get up again.
Times will get tough. 
Get up again

Here it comes once again

So maybe I am bound by fate
A problematic scarring, induced by hate
It never seems, to all pan out
Is that what all this teaching, is needed to scout
You seemed to have, a bad effect
Your rules and contradictions, I would neglect
Though not my fault, you made me feel
Like my own education wasn't truly real

Then you came right in, tearing out my soul
How could all this loss, be your only goal
I'm left standing here, desperate in the cold
Since you took your life, mine has not been whole

So there I stood, a scolded child
The reasons never questioned, my pains been filed
Inside this place, that makes me feel
I learned life is unfair, and that is very real

(Chorus)

While you try to overcome the lesson
Making the most of those questions that just keeps me guessing
I'm looking longer, harder, further than I ever have
Solitude breaking me down, you always seemed glad
To put me down and stick me in that little pit
Personal growth as a child that mattered not a bit
Then I became the person that you hated most
Disrepecting the father, son and holy grail
A small example of what the things you've done to me
Have changed in my little life and changed the things I'll never be
I'll never be

Come on and brace your face
Engulfed up in the rat race we hold our futures down
So just resist the plot and find the answer
etched eternal
as we self destruct

(Chorus:)
day by day
one by one
more example of disrespect
that you seem to offer no more than complete neglect
a generation with fate all tied
this ain't a game
we don't enjoy this ride

try to perceive the lie
all caught up in your own high
opinions of yourself
should be concerned about your life
there's been enough strife to crash a persons hope
and as the days delay our every other move
we've been consumed by apathy
that's right
it has become a pain
inside my brain is screaming
look what you've done to me

(chorus)

Break
its just the break we're givin em
Break
its just the break that you're givn' em
Break

laid to waste out in the open
turned away once again
this isn't right
this ain't supposed to happen
now life's too short
we shouldn't have to die
and I have had to stop all of my emotions
why
oh bittering faith escapes again, again
just look at what we have done
will you look at who we've become
priorities astray
it goes on and on each day
we've wrecked their only try
and still we wonder why
we're recipients 
Of hate Motherfucker

break your back
just once and then you know
you gotta
face your fright
that's right
yeah
with your five second morals and your three second smile
you just
face your fright
that's right
yeah
with your five second morals and your three second smile
you just
face your fright
that's right
yeah
with your five second morals and your three second smile
you just
face your fright
that's right
yeah
with your five second morals and your three second smile

It woke up in me years ago, how this was meant to me
All of those falsehoods plain to see, they dug and hung their greed
Will there be profit you could see, if only we were blind
Lonely and sheltered, your life is free but it's still one step behind

Just like me, they tried their rules on me
They tried their rules on me
They tried their rules on me, me, me
I broke those chains and fucking split

And so you, and so you, and so you, and so you
Pass all the facist asses, ignore those classes, of bottleneck masses
Producing an all but awful stench, Delivering a section of all the money 
stole and spent
As you start to recognize, you're in the game
Growning afflictions head to toe, this never should have been
But placing blame is cowardly, restructure must begin
Will there be profit you could see, if only we were blind
Lonely and sheltered your life is free, but it's still one step behind

(Chorus)

Well it seems as though, everyone's been led astray far away from
From what we know, still can't fins a reason or the right words to say, it'll be
ok
Wrapped up in all the things that are wrong
It's the only trial so far, as the verdict falls down you still break away

Caught up in a social degradation, you can't even see the truth
We're only half as good at personal relations, look around and see the proof
Only a few of us go in the right direction, even though we're singled out
It's the only thing that keeps me alive, I do what I have to do

How was I to know, force fed corporate trials each day, every single day
But we must grow, echoing the single most thing in the way

(Chorus)

Not slipping, drifting, falling, one step further from the norm, what is the
norm
Not living, longing, trying so much harder than before
What if I, what if I, run far away
Would I still be seen the same, break away

(Chorus)

Here we sit, all alone in an outnumbered fight
Led to decipher between wrong and right
And some may fail, at this joke that some of us call life
Yes at this game that some call life

But the system can't bail me out of hell
I've made this discovery and it has helped
All I've got is myself, I have faith in that
Believe and one day, you'll do just as well now

As you were, you little puppet, you pauper, you freak, that's right
That's what some of them have said to me
So I object, and try to figure things out for myself
I'm building up full emotional wealth

(Chorus)

The inner strength, is what the hate, it wants us not to feel
It's time that we helped, there's no room to fail
You already know the way out of hell
All we got is ourselves, I have faith in that
Believe and one day
We'll put the system in jail, we'll put the system in jail
I made it through, scraped black and blue
But so can you, I made it through, so black and blue
But you can too, I made it though scraped black and blue
But so can you, I've made it through

Long.
I've Been Running away for far too long
Afraid of what
Afraid of what I know is soon to come
I may not be much of an example right now
But I can give you all of my knowledge on how
to get along in this place
right now all I can say

(Chorus:)
Is that I will do the best that I can
to be a good example of man
I know one day that You'll understand
you deserve the best that I am
you deserve the best that I am

It's so hard
so hard to think about when I was child
so angry at life
I blamed the world for such a long long time
But Things happened so quickly
some people just go
I needed answers to heal me
I wanted to know how to get by
and now its my turn to say

(chorus)

This is all for you
everything in this world
everything in my world
everything in your world
things wont always go right in this life
there's always changes
we'll make it

Maybe nobody told you about this life
Maybe nobody answered your questions why
Simple revelations, they come in tine
Those liars told us things would all be fine

Born out of whack, give him something possible,
you thought it would've mattered

Not likely to change things, we've come too far
Where innocent young kids are put behind bars
But it's an easy decision banished so far
You're not as civil as you think you are

(Chorus)

You say we're all all born out of whack
Well, don't act so surprised now, there's been a lot going on
Since you realized that we're all just kids trying to get along
So answer one thing
Are you gonna stay inside, are you gonna stay inside our minds?
Are we all born wrong?

So you think the area's gray, but it continues each day
A bad example of the attitude you portray
Act like I owe you my life, you should be burdened with strife
Can't find a single reason I could live with you as my wife
So I continue to pray, and hope that you'll go away
A bad addiction to a home wrecking thing who plays
With my heart, and that's the bottom line
I feel so empty

What can you give me, I can't give myself
And what part of my life can you fix, that I can't fix my damn self

God I'm losing patience each day, I've put myself in harms way
Can't seem to justify none of the shit you say
Can't find another way out, there's nothing left but pure doubt
I'm on the verge of pulling my hair straight out
So if you listen to me, not to the powers that be
We're not supposed to be together can't you see
Indecision is the bottom line, I feel so empty now

(Chorus)

I'm gonna show you now, this time I'm getting out
I've said it many times, but this time I have figured out
Just how I'm moving on, it's taken way too long
Inside I know I'll feel much better, when you're really gone

There must be something you can recommend. 
I've lost my faith in man again
So sick of trying to pretend. 
Same pain over and over again
How much longer do you think we'll stand. 
So little left here to live for
By the time my life is at its end. 

(Chorus:)
I want it back one more time
Let me try one more time. 
Live my life one more time
We never seem ready for this

It keeps on haunting me day after day.
Am I going about things the right way
Which truth's to pass and with which truth's to say
It's all so hard I'm just so damn afraid
Had about as much as I can take. 
So little left here to live for
By the time my life is at its end. 
I'll want it back

(Chorus)

I need the chance to live my life one more time
