Pennywise Album

one day you'll have to ask yourself
am I doing what I want for someone else
from that day forward you'll find that living
you're better off when you answer to yourself
and when its time to take a stance
tune them out inside your brain
everyone will tell you lies
they'll cheat then laugh at your demise
tell me who's to blame
some day when you look back and you take time
in the past was I doing all I really could
that one step forward a better life wasn't all that hard
now that you're living like you should
I am a firm believer
sovereign minded high achiever
solid in my sense of worth and goals
philosophies are meant to trick you
missionaries out to get you
hell is full of cons and suckered souls

"I've come to realize that life is but a game
and it doesn't matter how you score but how you play
and although the masses play the host make all the rules
the only rules you should live by. . .
rules made up by you the only rules you should live by
in this bent facade of people being who they're not
who view the world through the wind shield of the beamer they just bought
and swear by hypocrisy
yea thinking they'll go far
hey mister can you tell me...tell me who you are
two for one can you survive one by one
you stay alive do you think you really stand a chance
pray to god for intervention
deities of your invention
don't you want to know who deals the hands? "

"listen children I've got a secret one that they don't want me to tell
I hope you register this little message
it's the only way you can stay outta hell
don't ask your parents they ain't gonna tell you
cause they've already taken the fall
thank your lucky stars for the enlightenment
cause now it ain't no secret at all
we're gonna die off in time
we're only gonna die off in time
until we stop succumbing to mankind,
don't get me wrong
I don't want to soil your future
it used to be so squeaky clean
it ain't my fetish to extend this pessimism or blow rain clouds over your scene
I got the notion
I got the feeling that this thing doesn't have to end
this better up your suspicion
if not there's only one result my friend
hey mom and dad please don't hate me
just cause in me you see your lost youth
did I evolve into an adult organism?
do I blow myself away?
tell me the truth
good intentions yeah I got 'em
plan for the future or pray for the end
this had better raise up your suspicion
if not there's only one result my friend"

YOU LOOK AROUND WHAT DO YOU SEE
I'll tell you what I see is a world belonging to me
take time to find what you may dream
it's all right there within your grasp
just beyond what you can see we're the ones,

the only ones, strong ones,proud ones we're living for today
those for the past and tomorrow they'll have hell to pay

and if your life is going by too fast it's time for you to slow
down it's time for you to make it last before you trip and slip
and you will miss this happy little
stepping stone just before eternal bliss

the only ones, strong ones,proud ones we're living for today
those for the past and tomorrow they'll have hell to pay

the only ones, strong ones,proud ones we're living for today
those for the past and tomorrow they'll have hell to pay

your life goes by before you know you gotta take time to slow down
better take time to veer off the road
enjoy the sights while you are here
there's nothing to fear but fear itself
who knows when the end is near

the only ones, strong ones,proud ones we're living for today
those for the past and tomorrow they'll have hell to pay

the only ones, strong ones,proud ones we're living for today
those for the past and tomorrow they'll have hell to pay

don't make plans with your hands tied you'll never know
you're missing out repeatedly on the things that help you grow
you've got to own your soul you've got to take control
find a one day plan young man get this straight live for today.

"voices
you're letting voices tell you what to do
when you yourself don't know
voices
you got one too
so let it out and let us know when you're feeling all alone
well I know there are times when you're feeling close to the ground
and there's times when you may feel there's no place to call home
and there's times when the only end in sight is the end you got to. . .
come out fighting
problems
I've got 'em too
but keeping them inside is not the thing to do
problems
you've got to face hang-ups head-on before you know they're hangin' you all alone
so all alone been there before
so please believe me cause I know
sorry to say to your dismay your life is not the only one that you affect
don't you realize that a part of all of us will die inside when you yourself are dead
"

"look at all these people lying around
look at all these people being scraped right off the ground
because of too many broken homes
too many cardboard boxes
too many people who just can't survive
hard losses well americans don't belong in tins
let's learn to help ourselves before we help the foreign
wounded decay shout out dismay
can you hear their voices yelling out mayday
why are we sending money over seas
look out your window our nation's the one that needs
because there's not enough income
there's too much poverty
why must we lose more lives before our eyes will see
we'll leave it alone hope it goes away
its hard to ignore life when you live it everyday
I'd like to see I'd like to say I'd like to hear that help is on the way
here today where tomorrow?
death in the shadows
affects us all
too many bodies lie in the street
too many hungry mouths that have the right to feed"

never had the luck to see that face before
at most I've only had a fleeting chance:
but now it looks as though your just not fleeting anymore
now it has turned into quite some romance
and lam distant no longer more since you have come to pass
right through right through that open door
people come and people go
in the end they're all the same
the quest for someone special is all so clear
trying to find identity trying to find a name
I've seem to found myself since you've here
I've fought oppression
I've paid the price
but here with you it's twice as nice
so I'll change my ways loll start today
I've got to change my life
my heart goes out to all of you
the many who have tried to try and grasp
what of that they may dream
"I'll tell you right now all of you in your venture to find
it'll happen so fast you won't have time to breathe

Clear your mind
Hide your fear
Don't look around
Don't turn around
Pennywise is here

Hold your feelings
Hide your fear
Don't look around
Don't turn around
Pennywise is here

(chorus)
Evil lurks in his eyes
The clown they call Pennywise
Look at you by suprise
The clown they call Pennywise

He's a monster
He's not human
He's more than just a figment of your imagination
You can't run can't hide
there's no way to escape Pennywise

(chorus)

He'll creep inside your soul at night,
and torment nice and slow
Don't turn around or look around
Pennywise will know
He'll make you wish that you were dead,
and make it hard to cope
He'll make you wish that you were dead,
and hanging by a rope

(chorus)

Clear your mind
Hide your fear
Don't look around
Don't turn around
Pennywise is here

Looking ahead not far away
Someday soon but not today
Things may get better things may get worse Depending on who gets there first
Nothing in common nothing will change
Together we'll go our separate ways
Nothing to stop us from caving in
Someone's got to lose when someone wins

Look at the world you're living in
Someday you'll have to pick a side
For the rest of your life
Who's on your side

A voice in the dark a light in the haze
A flame that burns then fades away
Alone in the night a ship lost at sea
A state of emergency
With no way of knowing what's coming next
Survival of who fits in best
Looking for answers but where to begin
We all want to know how this one ends
This isn't make believe a faded picture show
As we drown you're slowly letting go

so many trials and tribulations
but the wiser man am I
such fixations are fixed on me
I tell you I am sick
I'm sick and tired of all the fables
tired of all the lies
I'm tired of seeing bullshit walk up hill
miles and miles
if I've done half the shit that's been said about me
too much and then some
I could have spent the span of 20 lives compared to just my one
so get off my back all you slanderers
just leave me alone
put your nose back on your face where it belongs
you fucking drone
your life is pure fascination
your mouth speaks such abominations
I condemn your allegations
you are a frankenstein creation
it must be weird to live one's life in a self make believe pit
but then I look at mine and then I see what a pointless one yours is
so crawl back in your hole
yea back into your world of make believe
when I see your smiling face you best be prepared to leave
in a land of pure untruths I gladly crown your ass the queen
the things you do are always done so exquisitely

when you're alone
you're on your own
this world is no place for the weak
we've got to find ourselves in unity
cause strength in numbers is what we seek
togetherness friendship is best
no one can stop us when we all work as one
when problems come we've already won
cause we know whose side we're on
come together and fight together
unite together as one
come together and fight together
fight forever till we have one camaraderie amity
it's good to know whose side you're on
conviviality homogeneity
together we cant go wrong

I look at my self
the person in the mirror is asking me
asking me why I lie to myself
what's the meaning of this charade
or the reason why
cause no one knows me quite better than I know myself
but that doesn't stop me from asking myself
the reason why no reason why
we lie to ourselves or anyone else
I look inside my life
cause I can see the things that no one else can see
about the real me
cause it's only the outside
you really see so don't ask me why I keep inside
the things that I choose to hide
still it doesn't stop me from asking myself
it gets me farther behind
cheaters never prosper
I've heard that line
but it keeps me set in my ways
look me up after you've found out

To all my friends,
Present past and beyond
even though you weren't with us too long
live is the most precious thing that we could lose
While you were here the fun was neverending
Laugh a minute was a new beginning
Jason Matthew Thirsk, this one's for you!

BROooooooo0oooooOooooo BROoooooOooooooo0oooooo(2x)

Ever get that feeling you can't go on
Just remember whose side it is that you're on
You've got friends with you till the end
If you're ever in a tough situation we'll be there with no hesitation
Brotherhood's our rule we cannot bend

BROooooooo0oooooOooooo BROoooooOooooooo0oooooo(2x)

When you're feeling too close to the bottom
You know who it is you can count on
Someone will pick you up again
we can conquer anything together
All of us are bonded forever if you die I die that's the way it is

BROooooooo0oooooOooooo BROoooooOooooooo0oooooo(2x)

To all my friends,
Present past and beyond
to all those who weren't with us too long
live is the most precious thing that you could lose
While you were here the fun was neverending
Laugh a minute only the beginning
Jason, my brother, this one's for you.

BROooooooo0oooooOooooo BROoooooOooooooo0oooooo(2x)
