Nonpoint Album

Now, there's a crack on the inside, and I start to play.
My fingers stuck, over stood my stay.
My world is bent from this development
Moving faster, than a storms rain after the plaster split, where my fingers fit.
Sure disaster and growing faster then my skin can take.
At least that's what they say.
Crowded cluster.
Do you trust her to hold the weight, or take the change
Abandoned labor.
Do yourself a favor and do for you, not what you're used to
No more space to breathe.
I cant stay here too many bad choices.
No more sanity, if I stay here, too many, voices.

Pedal to floor, and back in the seat of purpose and will vs. modern machine
feeling the slow, weak in the knees
from the tar on the street, and the weight of my feet the sweat off my face
wanting first place more than you can understand

Going round circles again

Photo finish race
rear viewed state chase
satisfaction only when I finish at the end
if I followed all the rules, promise that I'll win?
driven so confused that

(chorus)

holding on by a thread 
cut me loose so I can contend
hoping for something more than second place
first place or more
where will I be when I get to the end?
doesn't matter what place I began
three hundred and sixty one degrees and then

(chorus)

Gotta make the list of what is best
gotta make the fist and beat against
have to leave an impression
do you have a suggestion?
I'm all out of good ideas
the ones you have always put into your ears
with all you care to share
how did I end up here?

your signs are pointing to nowhere
that's exactly where I won't go
your signs are pointing to nowhere
and no one that I know
will ask all you care to show me
care to show me

gotta make the list of what is best
gotta make the fist and beat against
have to make this perfectly clear
I'm not waiting for one million years
for us in general
you make the chemical
situation I put us in
unfamiliar in foreign land

your signs are pointing to nowhere
that's exactly where I won't go
your signs are pointed to nowhere
and no one that I know
will ask all you care to show me

how would you like me
where would you like me to be
and could you make me worry
just a little more
the way you look at me confuses me
even with you next to me

your signs are pointed to nowhere
that's exactly where I won't go
your signs are pointing to nowhere
and no one that I know
will ask all that you care to show me
your signs
your signs (care to show me)
your signs
care to show me
care to show me
I won't go

Trying to find the words.
Making your mind up from what you've heard.
Winding down, you're just finding what indifference you're having today.
Make your mind up its never the same.
Sinking down, ceiling climbing, while you're up to your neck
in the same situation and start to complain.
You don't fool me with your smile.
Seen you treat whom you're calling your friends and I couldn't be called that
again.
Been on your knees for a while searching through broken glass in bare hands.
Can I offer you gloves, again
The way, the time, the chance, a glance,
a second look at your stance
on the way the day could change strange days to normal days.

I move this fast and I make mistakes for my own sake
Just be patient the best advise I did not take.
Superstellar first impression I did not make.
My own insecurities are not as bad as you make them out to be,
and our time is running out so fast.
Cant you see that all of your time is wasting while were wasted
Tripping over our own feet when we look too hard for what's older then the day
we got to this world that enough for me to make a good impression
when I'm walking through the door.
Ill do what I have to, to be everything you want me to.
Without putting you though all the questions Id like to mention to you.

I don't know how to say to make you understand
that when I turn my head to look I need to see you there
You used to care.
In the beginning, seemed liked you'd always be there.
Now I see winnings not easy.
Its something that needs to be held the right way.
In the beginning feels like were going to win.
Somewhere you caused this to end.
I need space too.
Let me step back and give you room.
I need time to think too.
But lately all I think about is me minus you.
In the beginning feels like were going to win.
Somewhere you caused this to end.
In the beginning feels like were going to win.
Now its the end and we start to pretend.

Gotta get from a point of pressure
to a point of no return
to turn me inside out
brother please
tell the others, please
there are others that don't know all about these...

Standing responses, failing the answers, screaming so foreign
excessive reactions

Bounced off walls where pictures hang of the last ones that made them
fall before
take it all with a grain of salt
for a bitter sweet memory of these...
(chorus)
Insane and bottled in explain the state I'm in
your electric pulse can't ail my sins
explain the state I'm in
gotta get me from a point of pressure to a point of no return
to turn me inside out
I know my answers don't meet your satisfaction
but they cause your reaction

Making mountains out mole of hills, taking fountains past their fill.
Making mountains out mole of hills, and making me want to kill.
One more problem, how you've got them.
All tied up with a million things to do.
Two more problems, how I've got them.
One is some else.
Two is you.
I hate that it has to come to this so fast.
How else will we know if we will last
Every wonder, every question, every thing that I'm not so sure is real.
Every funny look, every stop and stare, every doubt in my mind that you still
care.
I hate that it came to this so fast.
How else could I know if we would last
Making mountains.
Taking fountains.
Shaking ground with tiny problems.

Making choices and hoping that they're all right.
Hating waiting for something to make this worth the waiting what are you waiting
for
Any advice
Intervention of a mental melt down.
Too late to help, its out of my hands now.
Do you want to do what you want to, and not tell me how
Explanations are more than I'm asking for.
Just suggestions, not unfeeling metaphors.
No recaps all over again to remember tonight
And make this worth a fight
We are losing all sight of the big picture, and there is no light on upstairs.
There's nobody home and I've unplugged the phone.
Misdirected aggression from an obvious lack of attention.
Would you care if I mention the fact that I'm losing my mind
And I'm not even looking this time. could you spare for a friend,
so I don't do it twice and fall into a trend, and make this happy story end
There's a crack in the ice.
Intervention of a mental melt down.
Too late to help, its out of my hands now.

Counting helps the hiding, but what I seek I'm not finding.
Ready or not.
Forearms cant cover up lies in hiding.
Counting makes the only sound, while I wait for hours to be found.
So much for making up rules while were playing.
Who cares about rules any way
They're for mindless fools and child s play.
This time, this time.
Its my turn, its not your turn.
Why should it make sense Why are you so unspontaneous
Your way tastes the same as yesterday.
So Ill shift and bite again.
Draw a mark on your skin that turns you the color pink.
What exactly will they think of you
This time, this time.
Its my turn, its not your turn.
Why are you jealous, over bearing, overzealous
Is it the lost memory of all those games you played with me

Forget about polite, hurry up and fight.
Your words are just lying helpless.
Hurry up and fight, and get inside.
We've started, while you wait for nothing.
What I do makes the worst of you.
And a good situation, gone bad from the start
a classification that slowly tears us apart.
Where did our calm conversation go
Why don't we continue this show
I don't want to relax, or lower my voice.
Its my choice, and I proudly choose to hide.
These walls are so thin I can hear every sin.
No confessions, for obsessions that they covet, and squeeze in your arms.
While the hiding and confiding is going too far past the point of harmless

Tell me how to make some sense of the mess you left me with,
You used up every chance with me.
To settle for you wont settle for me.
Ill take back what is left of what you've had barely enough to keep me dead.
This need for more has me cold, and shaky.
No more waiting for a reaction face when they hear about,
the trouble that started when you and I met.
Let me remind you, I plan to get through, with or without you.
Want verses need.
Don't push me, I have no need.
Buy or sell, those beans are a nuclear falling out, disaster.
That called in the troops faster then when all the lights went to red
instead of the days we made each other crazy.
Later please, doesn't put my mind at ease.
It pushes me away.
Say what you have to say.
Tell me how to make sense of this nonsense, distress.
