Pathetic and over-reaching
listen to what you're preaching
tearing at me with words so cold
warm tears over phony love put on hold
Why should I go and change;
why must I be the one to re-range?
I'm really not insane,
I think there's just a problem in my brain
All night staring at the wall
the door, the ceiling...
that startling sensation
as I drift to sleep...and fall
Pride in words that are held down
tied to the wall and floor
I'd hold your hand and hug you
if I had something to hug you for
I'm really not insane,
I've never felt that pain...
never went down with the ship
what would I have to gain?
Please take another look...
I'd tell you if I could
but you wouldn't hear me would you?
I'm good at what I do...
I'm good at hiding from you
SPIRIT OF FEAR,
FILLIN' THE ENTIRE EARTH.
PEOPLE YOU HOLD DEAR,
YIELD TO CONTEMPTUOUS MIRTH.
RUMORS OF MYSTERIOUS PRECOG',
PROPHESYING DOOM.
BEWARE OF EVIL HOG,
WITH HEAD FULL OF PLUME.
MENTAL TELEPORTATION,
MUTE FOOLS COMMUNICATE.
ALIENS OF OUTER DIMENSION,
SEEKING TO EXPROPRIATE.
LIFE CHANGING EVENTS,
NO WORDS OF COMFORT.
GUINEA-PIG PATIENTS,
TREATED AS BRONZE WORTH.
NO WORDS OF FORGIVENESS,
HELL FOLLOWS THEM.
ALTHOUGH IN DARKNESS,
THERE APPEARS NO END.
SNOW ON THE ROOF,
BUT FIRE IN THEIR HEART.
NO AMOUNT OF SPOOF,
CAN BREAK 'EM APART.
BITTER-SWEET RESENTMENT,
NO RETURN TO INNOCENCE.
DEEP MENTAL ENTRAPMENT,
FOOLS CRAVE SECOND CHANCE.
DARK MATTER PRODUCTION,
SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH.
INEXPLICABLE EQUATION,
LEAVING FOLKS IN A LURCH.
SOFTLY THE VOICE COMES FROM WITHIN
SPEAKING THROUGH ME TO MY PEN
ONTO THIS PAPER LAID DOWN BEFORE ME
THE WORDS COME FASTER, MORE READILY
AS I GET INTO THE RHYTHM AND RHYME
I OFTEN WISH I HAD THIS EASY A TIME
SPEAKING
SOME PEOPLE HAVE A WAY WITH WORDS,IT SEEMS
I ONLY SPEAK FREELY AND ELEQUENTLY IN DREAMS
IN A GROUP MY VOICE OFTEN STUMBLES AND FALLS
WHAT WAS MEANINGFUL A MOMENT AGO SHUDDERS AND STALLS
TRY STILL I DO, AND AGAIN TO EXPRESS
THOUGH SELDOM DO MY WORDS SATISFY ME, I CONFESS
SPEAKING
THAT MUST BE WHY PUBLIC FIGURES WRITE SPEACHES
THE RIGHT WORDS ELUDE EVEN THE LONGEST REACHES
SO I FEEL THE POINT IS HEREBY MADE
I WILL STOP BEFORE MY VOICE STARTS TO FADE
AND I MUST SIT HERE AND LISTEN TO LAUGHTER
THIS IS WHY I WANT A CIGERETTE SO SOON AFTER
SPEAKING
I'm incredible a criminal you damn right animal/
bullets yeah we let dem go hit you off ur petasol//
The hood is a series and I'm living every episode/
Still flowing from my inner soul don't trip just it go//
Cause you can never stop your style is soft and mushy/
While mind is complex is like my words are dip in Gucci//
Bringing the heat while these girls souround me kiss me/
My words drive them crazy with your girl if not maybe//
And sense I'm use to the beef I carry a extra heat/
You a killer kid please come on you're just anerastic g//
Now I'm leaving you with bad memories gas tank on e/
Plus my money stacks high it's like I'm building a tree//
I reach out to the skies of blue
To stay there for the rest of time
My lies have always seemed so true
Constructed life to perfect crime
Right now
I forget which part I play
I loose control of what I say
Right now
My spirit seems to drift away
And all my actions look so gay
I run through fields of doors
Lost
With millions of keys right in my pocket,
I find no lock, even with force
The doors all stay completely blocked
And thoughts fall down into my head
As I lie crying in my bed
Right now
I think of what I have had
And see what I have lost instead
I dig myself into the earth
To stay there ‘till the end of days
I still regret my day of birth
And spoiled my life in many ways
The sun is shining through my eyes
I give no sh** ‘bout all these lies
My deepest passions start to rise
And fight until apathy dies
- But words still blow -
And can’t you see
that we’re just trying
to be
not what we seem
to be
The decay starts in our heads
Our body takes more time to go
The conflict starts in our heads
Our body takes more time to know
- But words still blow -
Want you here but there you stay. So many things get in my way.
Why cant I get over you? I still don’t know what to do.
Always want what I cant have. It’s still hard to move on.
Pre chorus
Emptiness fills this room. How can I get over you?
Chorus
I’m sorry I fell in love with you.
Someone tell me what to do.
Countless words that were never said,
and I can get you out of my head.
Want a way to let you go, so many things you’ll never know.
This pain stays close and never fades. When I get near you seem away.
Pre chorus
Emptiness fills this room.
How can I start over new?
Chorus
I’m sorry I fell in love with you.
Someone tell me what to do.
Countless words that were never said,
and I can get you out of my head.
Fell so hard for you, trapped inside and cant escape.
someday, somehow, I’ll get over you.
Chorus (repeat end)
I’m sorry, sorry, fell in love with you.
Want you here but there you stay.
I’ll get over you some way.
can i kiss the pain away
just tell me where it hurts
only the deepest concern
will past between our two hearts
only the true whispered words
will set you free
i want you to want to tell me where its hurts
so i can kiss the pain away
just tell me where it hurts....
just tell me where it hurts
will past between our two hearts
will set you free
so i can kiss the pain away
just tell me where it hurts....
i want you to want to tell me where its hurts
only the true whispered words
only the deepest concern
can i kiss the pain away
just tell me where it hurts....

My mind is poisoned by my dreams,
Forbidden thoughts, forbidden themes.
My lips are sewn, my hands are tied,
Well, I deserved it. It's all right.
A chance of being understood
Just stands no chance, as no one could
Unlock two always open doors -
You turned the keys and locked them both.
A couple drinks won't work today,
A couple tragedies don't matter.
If honesty is hard to play,
I simply quit. It's for the better.
No love to trust, no trust to love,
But you still play this useless stuff.
These cupid-stupid endless games
Are pure lies in subtle frames.
You all agree my words are clear
And so damn true! But in your fear
To contradict the pattern set
You solemnly declare me mad.
A couple drinks won't work today,
A couple tragedies don't matter.
If honesty is hard to play,
I simply quit. It's for the better.
I'll change the rules or quit the game,
Your strategy is really lame,
So now my words are way too brusque,
And it's the dawn of your dusk!
A couple drinks won't work today,
A couple tragedies don't matter.
If honesty is hard to play,
I simply quit. It's for the better.
Love is only some sense
Of the absence of sense,
It invades our lives
When we have other plans.
It devours your days,
Then it eats you inside,
It erases your face,
But you don't really mind.
It is gradually making you blind!
October is counting time
And turning to dust all the letters,
The words that I once liked to rhyme,
The diaries. It doesn't matter.
Yes, it doesn't matter. I'm fine.
Love is only a book
For illiterate masses
And a few stupid deaths
Due to hopeless romances.
It's a right to create,
With no chances to find,
It's the same old damned myth,
Just of some other kind.
It is gradually making you blind!
October is counting time
And turning to dust all the letters,
The words that I once liked to rhyme,
The diaries. It doesn't matter.
Yes, it doesn't matter. I'm fine.
I'm fine.
