It's obvious you've changed Something deep inside you is probably to blame Must be lonely up there with your head up in the clouds Even though you got there what does your conscience tell you know? It's never the same on the way down How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground? When all of your bridges aren't around And the sandcastles you built are falling down You had us all sitting right there in your hand But you had to fall because that's how life is Got your fingers burned by burning candles at both ends Now the table's turned and now your demonsa are your friends It's never the same on the way down How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground? When all of your bridges aren't around And the sandcastles you built are falling down So now I question what you're gonna do Now that everythings gone up with you You believe the shit you say is true But everybody's on to you Life remembers everything you do Your karma has caught up with you It's never the same on the way down How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground? When all of your bridges aren't around And the sandcastles you built are falling down Reality The lights are on but you're not home You've drifted off somewhere alone Somewhere that's safe, no questions here A quite place to hide from your fears Sometimes when your out of rope The way to climb back up is unknown The walls you build around yourself I guess they keep you here Are you afraid of what they think? Whoever "they" happen to be Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality? So you sedate and drown in vain You've got a pill for everyday A suit and tie to mask the truth It's ugly head is starting to show through Sometimes when your out of rope The way to climb back up is unknown The walls you build around yourself I guess they keep you here Are you afraid of what they think? Whoever "they" happen to be Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality? The monster you're feeding, your lack of perception The things you will do to fullfill addictions The light at the end of your tunnel is closing What is it that your so afraid of exposing You'd give it all up for what there for the taking Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking The same things you're thinking might make you feel better The same things that probably got you here Sometimes when your out of rope The way to climb back up is unknown The walls you build around yourself I guess they keep you here Are you afraid of what they think? Whoever "they" happen to be Or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality? The monster you're feeding, your lack of perception The things you will do to fullfill addictions The light at the end of your tunnel is closing What is it that your so afraid of exposing You'd give it all up for what there for the taking Whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking The same things you're thinking might make you feel better The same things that probably got you here Tonight Just try to understand this isn't what I planned This ride's out of my hands So now I'm forced to be something I can not be If only I could make you see Tonight I'm alive I've watched you all grow up and so have I Inside this isn't really what I had in mind I no longer relate to this world of hate That's forced upon my plate I tend to disagree, I hope it's not just me, alone If only I could make you see Tonight I'm alive I've watched you all grow up and so have I Inside this isn't really what I had in mind Tonight I'm alive I've watched you all grow up and so have I Inside this isn't really what I had in mind Tonight I'm alive I've watched you all grow up and so have I Inside this isn't really what I had in mind Could It Be Well I don't know what to say Because there's truth to what you say I know it kills you I'm this way There's something different every day Could it be I that I never had a chance to grow inside? Could it be that my habit is to find a place to hide? Could it be that sometimes I say things just to disagree Could it be that I'm only being me? Not easy living in my mind A little peace is hard to find My every thought is underminded By all the history inside Could it be I that I never had a chance to grow inside? Could it be that my habit is to find a place to hide? Could it be that sometimes I say things just to disagree Could it be that I'm only being me? I know I hear the words you said Over and over again I just can't get them through my head There's just to many voices Must be like living with the dead Waiting for me to begin To do the things that I have said And for this I'm sorry So ther's some truth to what you say Could it be I that I never had a chance to grow inside? Could it be that my habit is to find a place to hide? Could it be that sometimes I say things just to disagree Could it be that I'm only being me? Blow Away Live in my head for just one day I see myself and look away The road is showing now on my face Soon I'll disapper, I'll disappear without a trace Faces that I've seen turn old and grey I've lost too many friends along the way Memories I never thought would fade They fade and blow away I wish that I could disappear Unzip my skin and leave it here So I could be no one again And never let nobody, I'd let nobody, I'd let nobody in Faces that I've seen turn old and grey I've lost too many friends along the way Memories I never thought would fade They fade and blow away So now the walls are closing in Because in life you sink or swim Sometimes these shoes don't feel right in my head Feel like a book that can't be, A book that can't be, A book that can't be read Faces that I've seen turn old and grey I've lost too many friends along the way Memories I never thought would fade They fade and blow away Intro Thank you to the people in my life For putting up with me And thank you for the time you sacrificed All on account of me For all the times I didn't say The times I didn't say For all the times I didn't say Times I didn't say Fuck you to the jaded and the fake Like to see what you would do Fuck you and the judgements that you make We're not all perfect just like you, Like you, Like you For all the times I didn't say Times I didn't say For all the times I didn't say The times I didn't say All the times I didn't say All the times I didn't say Thank you to the people in my life for putting up with me
