Where Am I Now?
03:29
|

where am I now
can I progress to anything
things just won't fall in my lap
and it doesn't seem to matter how much I want
'cause I can't be satisfied
and gradually I will come to realize what I want from life
who or what will it be tonight
is it so wrong that I just want someone to show a little interest
and am I selfish 'cause I can't accept "sure okay" for an answer
I sure wish I could
betrayal, so wrong
it's over, you're done
you've had your fun
my heart is broken
your eyes, they speak to me
I think you want this, you want this
so there went my week, I still don't know
just where I am or where I'll go
so should I try, the answer is here
tomorrow will only bring a new mistake
I'm asking you
what would you say if I told you that I'm the one with the little interest
would you react or would I jump right back to where I started
it's all just so wrong

The Next Song
03:58
|

here in America they say that we are free
entitled to opinions
but we’re judged for what they might be
we can live in a place without any change
and I wish today would be different
but I knew it'd end up the same
oh I don’t wanna be, I don't wanna be
whatever description that you labeled me
and nobody cares at all
my failure's your pleasure
it never gets better
I can't accept your words
and I won't let them touch my pride
we’re simple in our complexion
then we're labeled and just tossed aside
there’s nothing to say, there's nothing I can say
to make things better
I wish that today would be different
I should have known better

As You're Told
03:35
|

morality strikes, put your mind to the scale if you're willing
you know just where you stand
there's a fine line from faith to corruption
we grow up hating others' perceptions
wrong is right in this world that we live in
how could you kill to appeal to some fucking religion
just do as you're told, do as you're told
deep beneath you must lay a reason
besides the stories your faith has told you
continue to believe, without questioning
we live and we learn, but for some minds are set in upbringing
you know only beliefs that were planted inside you so early
life is short, it can pass in a heartbeat
waste away to amount to something
how could you kill to appeal to some fucking religion
just do as you're told, do as you're told

What's Behind
04:19
|

finally, the way I carry myself comes naturally
but I don't understand how I can change
when you're around me something's wrong
release this vise, ‘cause I’m frustrated
I can't keep hiding in this smile
I can try to for a little longer
I can't stop lying to myself
I'm stuck between these lines I'm drawing
I can't keep crying
it's your brown eyes that keep me here
it’s your eyes that keep me here
I'm stalling, but I’m not trying to
there must be something else that I can do to keep you here
forgive me, I don't know how to act
when you're near me something pulls me back
you say you feel the way I do, I don't see it.
I can't keep hiding in this smile
I can try to for a little longer
I can't stop lying to myself, myself
I'm lost again, I'm sick of searching
I can't keep lying
it's your brown eyes that keep me here
it’s your eyes that keep me here
but behind those eyes there's something more
I'm falling for more than just another pretty face
I adore you so

Patience Is A Virtue
05:07
|

hold tight, breathe easy
we're starving ourselves with anxiety
constantly we’re trying to run
let's slow down and try walking sometime
looking back at my change of direction
I now can say that I have learned that she's not important
and I was foolish to care so much
why do we try so hard
when satisfaction is so close
these days it's hard enough to please myself
you'll just have to wait in line
sit down and take a number
we're all looking for our answers
and I'm still learning how to breathe again
turn around, take two steps back
there must be bigger worries
life is full of questions
we can answer them if we take the time
sometimes things don't work out
sit back and try to believe
focus, don't procrastinate
don't sidetrack yourself like I did
so let me be your reminder
and let me make the mistake for you
and I've learned she wasn't worth it
and I've learned patience is a virtue

Picture Frames
03:44
|
|||
shit happens I can't believe the irony
it slaps me in the face
it kills all my expectations
and I know the unlikely is likely to happen
good or bad, you'll never know
let's just say I've done some growing this year
more than I can handle
and I'll never forget this year
now you're gone, and so far away
now you're gone, and nothings the same
I lie in bed and reminisce the times we had
laughter was familiar
tragedy has stripped from us the life you had much too soon
how can I keep growing this year, without you
I'll never forget this year
and now you're gone
and nothing’s left to fill the gaps of the doors
that you've left wide open
and now you're gone and all that's left
are picture frames of memories of you

this time I've gone too far
take back the things I've said
I'm always wanting more
why do I end up with less
why do I end up with less of
what seems to be the honest person
that I'm trying to be for you, I’m trying to be for you
and it's damn hard but I'll carry on 'cause
I need your support and I need you to care
'cause I'm nothing without you, I’m nothing without you
I'll fold, I’m done
I hate how I make you cry
self-conscious significance
push all those tears aside
why do I end up with less
why do I end up with less of
the simple satisfaction of the time we've spent together
the answer to this is myself how I can't keep it together
will my selfishness get better, someday I'll get better

Whose Trophy?
03:24
|
|||
I'm sorry that I'm not what you expected
(nothing ever works out)
need I ignore you now (no)
I can't live facing these regrets
I won't live without them
how will things turn out
you threw it all away
is that how you see things
I guess we live through different eyes
we see through different pasts
I won't be what you want me to be
should I try a little less
just to suffer all the more
is this what you want from me
are you ashamed of me
could this hurt any more
this may be the most important thing I'll ever say
but if it's all the same
I'll bide my words and wait for better ones to take their place
and this I beg of you
please don't think out loud
and keep your life to yourself
I'm not the one to volunteer (I’m not the one)
to suffocate (to suffocate)

Confidence
04:32
|
|||
I can’t find my confidence today
and I don't feel like ever waking up
you don't look so bad yourself today
hear the words I say
I speak them you just run away
and I can't show you how real
how real things could be yeah
and I believe that you could feel
that you could feel something
when you’re close there's things I want to say
but I end up just not speaking at all
and if I spoke I fear you'd look the other way
a smile's not displayed
my confidence erased

it's always he said, she said
I don't wanna listen to your bullshit anymore
the things you say embed plastic images
I'm trying but it's hard to ignore
the false accusations you make
the fingers you point at my friends
why point the finger at all
we can take that road
but it's a steep climb
and it seems that we lose so much more then we'll ever obtain
I can write that song
I'm guilty of blaming too
the drama we cause all needs to come to an end
there's only two weeks left
can't we put all of this nonsense behind us
and try to smile a little bit more frequently
the air is stale around you I'm cold
and nobody cares anymore
it's time to tie up those loose ends
there comes a time to let go
