. . .



Don't believe a word,
A word they say.

It's more than a T-shirt,
It's more than a tattoo,
It's more than a phase.
This is how I was raised.

You keep trying to market this feeling.
I heard what you said,
And no were not the same,
No were not the same.

You'll never be a part (of what we have),
You'll never sing a song (that we love),
You'll never get respect,
And you cant fool us
Cause we know what you are.
Dont believe a word,
A word they fucking say!

. . .



You're hiding something, ‘cause it's burning through your eyes
I try to get it out, but all I hear from you are lies

[Pre-Chorus:]
And I can tell you're going through the motions
I figured you were acting out your part
Once again, we're playing off emotion
Which one of us will burn until the end?

[Chorus:]
Catalyst, you insist to pull me down
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it's all downhill from here
And it's all downhill from here

Your good intentions slowly turn to bitterness
Reoccurring episodes with each and every kiss
(Let's go!)

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

And I can't believe you pulled it off again
I'm nervous ‘til it all sets in
You'll deny it ‘til you're at your bitter end

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

And you keep pulling me down!
(pulling me down)
(pulling me down)
You contradict the fact that you still want me around
And it's all downhill from here
And it's all downhill from here

. . .



Are you aware of how much you complicate me?
And are you aware your words suffocate me
And don't deny you're talking behind my back to your friends
And don't deny one day you'll need me need me

All my life I've been looking for the answers
To the questions u never asked
And we never planned on this disaster
When will I let it go

So incomplete your stare is cold unlike anything I've ever seen
So incomplete your body is tired and falling apart at the seams
I won't deny I took the part in never wanting you back
I don't deny one day you'll need me need me

All my life I've been looking for the answers
To the questions u never asked
And we never planned on this disaster
When will I let it go
[x2]

If its tonight please let me know
If its tonight why don't you let me know


. . .



There was a time and place,
Where I never thought,
I'd leave my own hometown,
But those days finally,
Are dead and gone,
It was never my intention to stay there,
Oh no,

There was a concious effort played by me,
To disown anything I see,
There was a girl I knew,
Way back when,
Who says she doesnt know me anymore,
These are the lies the things you never mention,
These are my past mistakes I'll stay away from,

These are my thoughts written down on paper,
It's my only savior,
From not saying what I want to say,
These are the thoughts that are on my mind,
Moments that haven't yet been defined,
And I don't know if you could ever understand,
These are the things I can't say when were alone.

There were countless hours on the telephone,
My ears were ringing from the dial tone,
There were flashing lights,
People staring,
There was nothing I could ever do,
These are the lies the things you never mention,
These are my past mistakes I'll stay away from,

This is the truth,
The only time you'll here it,
I write it down because it seems so hard to say it,

These are my thoughts written down on paper,
It's my only saviour,
From not saying what I want to say,
There are my thoughts that are on my mind,
Moments that haven't yet been defined,
And I don't know if you could ever understand,
These are the things I can't say when we're alone.

. . .



I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

Your eyes were covered in sunglasses
When they first met my eye
I sat there and stared at you
You didn't seem to mind
The awkward ways we meet

First comes heavy breathing
Staring at the ceiling
What will happen next
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

I never cared how I dressed before
But I cared that night
Anticipation ran through my bones
And my clothes never fit right
I can't wait 'til we meet again

First comes heavy breathing
Staring at the ceiling
What will happen next
I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know

Framed pictures start to be put on the walls
Constant visits while I'm out on the road
Its hard to leave sometimes
But you know where I lay my head at night

First comes heavy breathing
Staring at the ceiling
What will happen next
I don't wanna know

. . .



What do you think inside your head (I wanna know)
So you think that this could end up (breaking you)

Your life is a timebomb set to explode
You talk out your ass and everyone knows
For once you should listen or care what I think
Or I'll be gone before you can blink

Everyone's told you over and over again
Your making the biggest mistake of your life
Everyone's told you
Everyone you left behind
Your making the biggest mistake of your life

Everyone knows that your afraid of (missing out)
And I know that its hard for you to (swallow down)
A world you created set to explode
You lie through your teeth and everyone knows
For once you should take what I'm willing to give
Or you'll stay stuck in the web that your trapped in

Everyone's told you over and over again
Your making the biggest mistake of your life
Everyones told you
Everyone you left behind
Your making the biggest mistake of your life

Its a shame (what a shame)
you should take (you take)
And I know its not an easy one to make
You should trust the ones that are closest to you

Everyones told you over and over again
Your making the biggest mistake of your life
Everyones told you
Everyone you left behind
Your making the biggest mistake of your life


. . .



This letter explains everything
The content it is the truth
Each word could cut like daggers
If I decide to finally give it to you

I've rewrote and rechecked a thousand times
Licked it shut and said my goodbyes
Could I have so perfectly written something
Why open this conclusion

And it feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching to the choir
If it looks like it wont work out
Then why am I so full of doubt

I know that time wont change a thing
If we're wrong, moving in slow motion
It's hard to catch up
When the world is weighing you down

And it feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching to the choir
If it looks like it wont work out
Then why

It feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching to the choir
If it looks like it wont work out
Then why am I so full of doubt

I'm confused
Don't know what I should do now
You, you confuse everything close to you
Tell me how does this feel

when it feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching to the choir
If it looks like it wont work out
Then why... yea

It feels like I've already been there
Sounds like I'm preaching to the choir
If it looks like it wont work out

. . .



What's your problem
Can't you see it
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will

Don't leave this rock unturned
Cause you could like what you find
A sure shot hit
With your name attached to it
Will you keep me in mind
I will cast the first stone
Obey the first mother
And rally the lasting impression
You believe what you want
And you said what's been said
And I do hope you learn a lesson

What's your problem
Can't you see it
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will

Don't look too hard for what you want
Cause it could be on the tip of your tongue
You're holding back
Like there's nothing left to it
Could this be a false alarm
I will cast the first stone
Obey the first mother
And rally the lasting impression
You believe what you want
And you said what's been said
And I do hope you learn a lesson

What's your problem
Can't you see it
And you go and blow it
Like everyone knows you will

Why don't you get it together now
Failure's not flattering
When will you show yourself
When will you show yourself
Ah, I do hope you learn a lesson
You'll never learn your lesson

What's your problem
Can't you see it
And you go and blow it

. . .



You must not have a heart
Have nothing in your chest
To let it go for so long
And let this go so far
That it goes over your head

You could fool anyone
With your plastic smile
And you could live in your lie
For only a while
And I could only take so much
And I admit this could be worse
But it goes over your head

What does she have
Can you let go
Can you tell me
What I am aching to know

You could ruin any mood
Just by saying what's on your mind
You could only take tame body
Never tame this mind
And I can only take so much
And I admit this could be worse
But it goes over your head

What does she have
Can you let go
Can you tell me
What I am aching to know

If I'm reaching in
You're not letting it show
Cause I'm respect
And there's no room to grow
Sea deep, can't breath
And you can't find the air
It's right in front of you
But it goes over your head

What does she have
Can you let go
Can you tell me
What I am aching to know

You must not have a heart

. . .



I tried to save us
But little did I know
You are a speeding train off track
With little time to go

I tried everything
Tried so hard to let you know
But now I'm on my last thread
Pulling away to know I'm real

Yeah, now it's our time
And now it's our time
And I'll see you on the other side

Beneath your skin
There's another side to you
You build up city walls
So I never get through
You build up city walls
So I can never get through

Yeah, now it's our time
And now it's our time

. . .



I'm in and out of conversation
It's hard to keep my attention locked down
So don't take offence to anything I say
I tried so hard to keep you coming back my way
But you don't know that and I'm the one to blame for it

Cause im destined for failure
Theres no room for giving up
theres nothing that I can say that can matter that can matter enough
Cause im destined for failure (hey)
Theres no room for give up (hey)
theres nothing that I can say that can matter that can matter enough

I've figured out my situation
I am an endless source of useless information
Give me bad news could be some ? thing expecting
I let my front down
And I know I will regret it
But you don't know that and I'm the one to blame for it

Cause im destined for failure
Theres no room for giving up
theres nothing that I can say that can matter that can matter enough
Cause im destined for failure (hey)
Theres no room for give up (hey)
theres nothing that I can say that can matter that can matter enough

Lets get down to business now
I'm saving myself the trouble in the end
So lets get down to business now
I'm saving myself the trouble in the end
(Saving myself the trouble)
But you don't know that and I'm the one to blame for it

(hey) Cause im destined for failure (hey)
Theres no room for giving up (hey)
theres nothing that I can say that can matter

I'm the one to blame for this
Yes I'm the one to blame

Destined for failure
Destined for giving up
Theres nothing I can say that can matter

. . .


Eyes open, I'm wide awake
I feel I'm in a coma state
I'll lay here on my back and watch the fan turn

Conversations cross my mind, but nothing of the speaking kind
TV images repeat there one lines

Back and forth I toss and turn
It feels like strings are holding up my eyes

I'd kill to fall asleep
I'd kill to fall asleep

Putting up a losing fight
I'll never see this end tonight
The thought of just one dream it consumes me

Numbers on the clock turn back, my pleas are having no affect
The beating of my heart keeps the time going

Back and forth I toss and turn
It feels like strings are holding up my eyes

I'd kill to fall asleep
I'd kill to fall asleep

They say that when you sleep your body's at rest
I wouldn't know what sleep felt like if I tried my best
Polaroids and memories can fade away, so can I...

Back and forth I toss and turn
It feels like strings are holding up my eyes

I'd kill to fall asleep
I'd kill to fall asleep

I'd kill to fall asleep
I'd kill to fall asleep

I'd kill....

. . .



All along, we follow blindly,
Force-fed prime time, printed nightly,
Why would anybody leave the safety of their home?

I wonder why,
I wonder why,
Only disasters flood the headlines,
Other people's misery,
Are up for the next three hours,
Commercial free.

And I can't take much more of this,
We're all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channels,
So I turn it off.

I see billboards on the horizon,
I can't imagine what they'll tell me,
What to wear,
What to drink,
Where to eat,
It's so easy not to think for yourself anymore,
So naive,
You don't do anything anymore.

And I can't take much more of this,
We're all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channel,
And no,
I can't take much more of this,
We're all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channel...

We all give in,
We all complain,
We sit and wait,
For things to change,
Worrying,
Worrying.

All along, we follow blindly,
All along, we follow blindly.

And I can't take much more of this,
We're all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channel,
And no,
I can't take much more of this,
We're all so wrapped up, in it,
Nothing will change, but the channels,
So I turn it off...
Turn it off...

. . .



Don't say it'll stay this way forever

I'm afloat in the ocean trying not to sink
I'm a crack in the asphalt you walk by in the street
I'm a falling star you'll never see
The last ? by the ?

So who am I?

Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't say it'll stay this way forever

I'm the lesson you'll never learn
The sickness that was never your concern
I'm the big suprise at the end of the night
The bridge that knock at the corner of your mind

So Who am I?

Don't say it'll stay this way forever
Don't say it'll stay this way forever

Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(you dont know, you dont dont, you never know)
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(you dont know, you dont dont, you never know)

I'm holding on
Yes I am
Careful what I wish for
I am the knot in your stomach
The Phlem in the your throat
The message saying your not home

Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(you dont know, you dont dont, you never know)
Don't say it'll stay this way forever
(you dont know, you dont dont, you never know)

Theres a cold winter coming this year
Theres a cold winter coming
Theres a cold winter coming this year
Theres a cold winter coming

Theres lots of snow and fog this year
Theres lots of snow and fog
Theres lots of snow and fog this year
Theres lots of snow and fog

cold winter coming this year
Theres a cold winter come
cold winter coming this year
Theres a cold winter come

lots of snow and fog this year
Theres lots of snow and fog

Theres lots of snow and fog

For you it will be cold this winter
They spoil all our ribbons
They come to feed the horses
I could use a nice warm cup of tea
Or maybee some pourage
Or maybee a nice lagger
Or a salomi sandwhich from tony's deli
Or maybee some ?
Or a bundle of fresh herbs and spices

. . .


I'm an old salty dog in the water
looking for a fish, a fish, a fish

I'm going under the ocean
I'm going under the sea

I'm going under the ocean
I'm going under the sea

I'm going under the ocean
I'm going under the seas

I'm on a boat in the ocea
I'm on a boat in the sea

I'm on a boat in the ocean
I'm on a boat in the sea

I'm going under the ocean
I'm going under the sea

I'm going under the ocean
I'm going under the sea

. . .


You'll never see ???
i've got a problem showing emotion
and sucking up my guts

you'll never get it, it's ???
i'll keep it stuck in my head
a million words i could have said

you say you're so overwhelmed with me
and it's because i've made

don't you say, you know i heard you said you know
don't you say, you know anything about me
don't you say, you know i heard you said you know
don't you say, you know anything about me

i'll never show you my frustrations
are left to guarding me to hold it back
i find it hard to just relax

please disreguard my opinion
i try to only get ???
it helps to get off my chest

you say you're so overwhelmed with me
and it's because i've made

so,

don't you say, you know i heard you said you know
don't you say, you know anything about me
don't you say, you know i heard you said you know
don't you say, you know anything about me

the point has been right in front of you, in plain view
the past ???
it holds you,
i can't
get you the words you say,out of my head
out of my head

don't you say, you know i heard you said you know
don't you say, you know anything about me
don't you say, you know i heard you said you know
don't you say, you know anything about me

. . .



Eye's open, I'm wide awake
I feel I'm in a coma state
I lay here on my back
And watch the fan turn
Conversations cross my mind
But nothing of the speaking kind
Tiki images repeat their one lines

Looking for the toss and turn of this life
Strings are holding up my eyes
I'd kill to fall asleep
I'd kill to fall asleep

Bringing up a losing fight
I'll never see this end tonight
The thought of just one dream
It consumes me
Numbers on the clock turn back
My pills are having no affect
The beating of my heart
Keeps the time going

Looking for the toss and turn of this life
Strings are holding up my eyes
I'd kill to fall asleep
I'd kill to fall asleep

They say that when you sleep
You're body's at rest
I wouldn't know what sleep felt like
If I tried my best
Polaroids and memories can fade away
So can I

Looking for the toss and turn of this life
Strings are holding up my eyes
I'd kill to fall asleep
