Without you I'm Lost 3 things ring clear Truth be told is what you fear/ So is it true indifference has spoiled you?/ How can you fed- ignorance in bliss is real?/ Soon you'll be gone and the rest will carry on/ Chorus See the ways I've/ Gone and I've tried/ Never dismissed/ With only one wish/ To be seen/ H aving to be heard/ Cause it's never been the same/ Since you ignored all this/ Life passed you by having seen the well is dry/ All in due time-feeding off the compromise/ Fuck that-fuck you/ Careful what you wish is true/ Who will fall last?/ Having seen the failure pass Chorus PAPER TIGER I have seen whats left for all the rest of you And its not what you think it will be For the gift and the curse of whats been shown to you I cant believe what I feel it is taking Never give, never bend - its all a lie to you And all you do is seem to remind me Of all the times and the ways I would have died for you And this is all the thanks that you'll show me... If you would show The light for me The things i'd known That now id see This is - not the same not now, never, no not again When the dreams and the truth came colliding And the same can be said for all the rest of them See the strong and the weak divided Yet i feel alive For all the pain I have And all you do is seem to remind me Of all of the times and the ways I would have died for you And this is all of the thanks that you'll show me If you would show The light for me The things i'd known That now id see If you would show The light for me The things i'd known That now id see Energy as i feel it calling Cannot see through the cloud thats forming Blinding as it passes before my eyes Looking for the thign thats calling Now I see that its coming after Now I see that its coming after...me If you would show The light for me The things i'd known That now id see BUCKLES Pain-is deserved/ For there's one thing you've forgotten to/ Say- to acknowledge/ That you've taken what's been given/ Away-for the last time/ And there will be NO forgiveness/ Today-nor ever/ As the walls close in around you within these walls Chorus: I spend/ All my life/ searching for something/ And it starts to seem like it's a lie/ The more you run, the less your chances/ Are you scared to quit? Scared to die? Because it's all my life (chorus) NO/ Shame- you're feeling/ As the choices made reveal what/ Remains- forever/ Soon you start to lose your sense of/ Control- As its fading/ As you sense that it is slipping/ Away0 like old time/ Now it all comes back to haunt you within these walls Chorus Scared to be ALONE/ You want and need to be ALONE/ Now as you strive to be ALONE/ Now I'm afraid to be ALONE/ But that goes away/ Within these walls I spend/ Within these walls I spend Chorus x2 WITH DEEPEST REGRETS Let's call this everything' what is seems/ A violent distortion of ALL my dreams/ And still it burns inside of me/ Just to spite the cold that seems to feed/ When everything and nothing become the same/ And everyone's at fault but no one's to blame/ Question is- will you remain the same?/ Or will you half step you life away?/ Chorus: Now I'm lost in this without all the rest- it Seems so close but so far away/ Fall in line or be what's forgotten/ NEVER NOTHING/ Hurts as much to say/ And though I try/ so why do you give this away?/ So you will know/ this love I call a life/ Then you will say/ so why do you give this away?/ So you will know this love I call alive Defining Definitions of what should' be/ One part honest and two parts mean/ Believing nothing- seeing is all I need/ Judging for myself what will come for me/ when all of it is here it moves so slow/ Planting all the seeds of doubt that grow/ But I wonder will I know/ when these fields of hate take hold Chorus But with all things involving the dream/ The push/ pull is not what it seems/ The love/ hate of what it all means/ Has taken the life out of me/ and I know that it's so hard to find/ And then even harder to hide/ but it's yours to decide Chorus NEITHER HERE NOR MISSED If I had been the one like this/ And now you were neither here nor missed/ it's the same thing it's that same hurt every day/ And without it, there's no stress I need to face Chorus: When you lie/ And you fucking seal and fucking cheat and lie/ No it's NOT the same and don't you ever try/ Don't know WHAT its like to fucking BE alive/ All the time The times have not been kind I see/ And so you will take it out on me/ Never ending is the way it starts to seem/ And your actions are what's killing all my dreams Chorus It's a chance I must take/ And it's my mistake to make/ Through what's real and what is fake/ I now see the rules I have to break/ If I had been the one like this/ and now you were neither her nor missed/ It's the same thing/ It's that same hurt every day/ And without it, there's no stress I know I'll face/ when you lie It's a chance I must take/ and it's my mistake to make/ Though what's real and what is fake/ I now see the rules I have to break THE PERFECT ENEMY First off- dismiss/ All of the lies- what brought you to this?/ In what you feel what you need how do you exist/ When there's far too many problems to list/ As you watch your future fleeting falling further away/ In what you feel what you need everything you say/ Every minute every second every single day/ Second-guessing choosing which path you will pave…it's not right/ Chorus: And I swear I'd give it all/ But it's never enough/ And when this is said and done/ Did you want it as much?/ But you knew what went around will come back to you/ But it makes no difference cause its through cause I'm through with you! Give up- give in/ It's like the limits that your life's been lived in/ And all around you it's the same that it's ever been/ But you'll never see that cause it doesn't quite sink it/ That where the future's headed you will walk it alone/ Gone are the dreams and the plans you are on your own/ Left with nothing everything that you've been shown/ Has been forgotten for the promise of a life unknown so not right Chorus Everything you want it to be I'll do that/ Blinded by the light you see I feel that/ Running from the truth it brings I see that/ Never knowing what it means We share that/ Running from it trying to hide Don't do that/ Looking for a way not to mind Don't do that/ Feeling no ones on your side Don't say that/ Slowly lose your mind LIVING WITNESS Preaching fear of future disaster/ As I wonder what you truly know/ Never needing justification/ Never needing anything at all/ watching as your dynasty crumbles/ Descending darkness takes away the light/ Fading further than all had expected/ Sinking as I feel I am inside Chorus: Seize everything and go/ It's not that having but the want/ Is all that you know/ Now the move is just to/ Seize everything and go/ Its not the having but the want is all that you know/ You know? Bringing chaos with all that's uncertain/ This boat of lies will surely start to sink/ Under the weight of such oppression/ Missing out on what I feel is right/ Living proof and bearing witness/ Casualties almost too much to take/ No more hope and no more passion/ Looking for a sign of life is all Chorus Here I lie/ Alone inside/ More than need/ More fuel for greed/ Move just to Seize everything and go/ It's not that having but the want/ Is all that you know/ Now the move is just to Chorus ONE HANDED KNIFE FIGHT It always begins the same and then it ends again/ It's everywhere but the silence deafens me/ But that's about to change when/ Nothing is there and still I feel it follow me/ There is no chance I fear it seems so hopeless Chorus: I like to see that/ You give and take back/ As I still bleed from the knife in my back/ Lines have been drawn/ who lost who won? When it's all over what side were you on?/ Now you decide what side whose side are you on?/ Now you decide what side whose side are you on? You wanted this life/ you've gotten this life/ Nothing before and nothing again you realize/ will let you tolerate the/ Shit to which it seems you tend to gravitate/ While taking this for granted/ Never a want and never a care for anyone/ why is it hard to see it's all or nothing? Chorus Whose side I feel it forming closer/ Never was the one to want to walk the fine line/ The way I saw it was all in due time/ But the constant harassment, believing to no end/ Is what got the best of me/ The best of me I feel it forming closer/ You wanted this life/ You've gotten this life/ You wanted this life/ You deserve this AS THICK AS THIEVES Now has come the time/ Indifference born because of lies/ Now no matter what you find/ This is the end of all the lines/ and when its taken all away/ What will you do or will you say/ That can erase all the pain Chorus: So you can start to rebuild again-focus/ In your life do you lead or follow?/ What you feel is it joy or sorrow? / Taking pleasure in others pain/ As it's calling out your name/ And though I want to hide/ When it finds a way/ As the pressure burns from the inside/ And though I want to hide/ When it finds a way/ As the pressure burns from the inside You'll find when all is said and done/ Will you have lost or have you won? / and did you fight or did you run?/ Now Chorus Now as the dreams come and go before my eyes/ I see the strength and weight of resolve/ For all the lying the truth shall remain with overwhelming force/ The same as it ever was And though I want to hide/ When it finds a way/ As the pressure burns from the inside x2 200 YEARS Chorus: I'm of the opinion/ That it's all or nothing- when the chance comes Will you be there? / Never surrender/ will you give up will you give in when it all falls away? / Your life has been to do this for this/ and I feel that's stronger than NOTHING/ NOTHING/ all the same, when you're 200 years forgotten/ will you rise above them all? / I've been the one forgotten/ When all the plans had failed/ I've been the one uncertain/ when all the rest had bailed/ You've wondered for the last time/ If I am what they say/ The rest will come and go I/ Will be the one that/ Stays! Stays! Stays! X2 (Second verse variation at ending) The rest will come and go I/ Will be the one that/ 200 years forgotten/ will you rise above them all? / 200 years forgotten/ will you have suffered the fall? NO REASON The actions misleading/ The words have no meaning/ and leave it further still its hopeless/ and pointless/ and unlike all the rest/ its something I don't mind and I remember falling victim again/ and I/ I'm walking in circles/ on pins and on needles/ and giving it all away unwilling/ ungrateful/ and nervous/ can you tell? The laughter starts to fade and I / remember falling victim again/ and I feel the pain won't let me forget/ and I/ cannot let this get in my head/ and I/ the last chance/ one more try / final straws/ and goodbyes/ the laughter starts to fade ---------------------------------------------------------------
