so far no one seems bothered but you've seen what i've seen around here it doesn't take much i'll take the liberty and tell the truth but if you're afraid of the promise and afraid of the truth it contains i know i haven't always been around but i can help you lead and take the blame anyway i know you've seen what i've seen we'll group and build some trust follow and lead lets just get organized and see it through i don't think your heard a word i said that's fine it wasn't exactly what i meant we made a lot of mistakes this time imaging distance working are you willing to take it? i have given all that i can give you have too and still we pretend that that isn't all just a waste of time it's sublime and we are kindred are you willing ot take it? i'll scream so loud i won't make a sound can you admit defeat? we'll burn the last of this to the ground let's drop the seed and let it be carefully trust all that's newly found sometimes we're hard to believe we'll burn the last of this to the ground let's drop the seed and let it be it may sound simple when the last word is said and no hurt is shown on the responding end end means time to end all (end is defeat) end means time to end all defeat and if silence is all that you hear it's not intended you're so far from near that voice only carries but so many miles praise denial and persistence working are you willing to take it? i felt it all the holes are burning still i hold my throat and i'm watching all the laughing pass me by if i could just turn the clock back all this time's left me feeling jaded i nearly lost my mind let me stay here one more moment buried broken glass from window panes fell down on my back yard and i cut my feet got dirt ground in the wound if there's such a thing as a payback how high's the price on my head i look back now
believe what you want without checking it (it's not right) we don't agree at all (got a lot to learn) i'll run so far won't hear a word and won't regret it i'm not concerned i'm holding onto something that i lost and could never find i'm moving on now so i can see what i am leaving behind and if rejection is what you fear i'm being heard all wrong isolate to think straight to find meaning not withdrawn two snakes of poison which one do you call friend? two snakes of poison got bit by both in the end when judged by past not present it's all just talking when judged by past it's forgotten that everyone changes there's kepone in the river but the river's still flowing east ethyl dozed the planet in an attempt to keep the downtown clean still it's a beautiful day and the sun is still shining over the james oregon hill is at end time vcu crept up and lit the torch west ave. honkeys don't forget that trains still run north third per-capita next year number one i need a place to lay my head that's safely out of sight from where i am somewhere uncontrolled where's no one's led a simple change of mood that i haven't found yet i want to be up front and honest but i can't at all don't want to set myself up for a fall i'll say it until i'm blue in the face it's so pitifully tame now good day now drop the name of an unknown place and i'm leaving reason give me one reason a short invitation or none at all what difference does it really make when your head's at the foot of the bed? close the lid tight and remain out of sight easy escape numb the senses everyone around is such an expert on who knows who and what they do i could give a fuck about small talk discussions in fact i'd rather be alone and do without companionship for now block out and walk out unseen keep far away than come clean i thought i heard someone say that if the bottle falls but doesn't break feel blessed it all stayed inside unopen beats spilling bored to death with hearing second hand who's grown roots who's on the move can't seem to avoid small talk discussions is it safe to be unknown? who's in, what's out, can't keep up keep up, look good, be seen label a tread of no meaning these are my eyes i said this is how they see you mislead, force fed can't make sense of what you do but how could you not have meant it what's real? what's untrue? mislead, force fed you criticize so you get a reaction it's a reflection you judge yourself you talk down you do it for attention self motivation not misunderstood you conceal what's not real and hope they miss what's really wrong you never listen i'm feeling strong reminding me of myself i'm not willing to take it i'm not gonna forget it lately i've been thinking not about what you said but what you did if you're behind it you decide i'll survive i've been spending time looking out instead of in gotta keep reminding myself begin means end and i'm walking through the alleys in the morning and i'm trying to do some thinking i've gotta know this time for sure tell me why i'm feeling pressured tell me why you feel alright but still i don't i caught myself believing every word that was said and that's fine i'll learn to depend on myself in time 'cause i made some decisions that just barely left me with an opinion or identity of my own tell me why i feel below you tell me why you feel alright but still i' don't would you feel like a stranger if i turned and walked away? would you care if i stayed? the many times i've been through this have i learned from mistakes i've made? i may try and if i fall i'll pick myself up again i don't want your lines and i don't want your sympathy 'cause i'm trying to break old habits and i want to do that on my own tell me why i'm feeling pressured tell me why you feel alright but still i don't got a full blown standard to question outright now find something to believe in shared a million secrets that all broke one night damned bad job of concealment sometimes here and sometimes gone when the mainline blows stay sidetracked it's safe to say that perfection is created it perfectly scars and digs deep under skin been at all-time highs and all-time lows sometimes barely maintaining it's strange that to go and shutdown sometimes can be so damned relieving rain on the face can cleanse so deep it will bring a lost feeling right back it's safe to say that perfection is created it perfectly scars and digs deep under skin as the wind blows away the words who's left to blame? take a ride on the back near the switch and make good time without a hint of leaving be from many places be from here see what to see then wander alone steel rails hum find the cure then fall right back it's safe to say that perfection is created it perfectly scars and digs deep under skin as the wind blows away the words who's left to blame? still trying to understand why after all this time i never got a reason abrupt ending with a blank stare and a "i' don't care" cry for help got a definite answer a turned back like i expected from someone else if i plan to remain this way for eternity then i must admit that i've got it made still trying to understand if i'd explained my thoughts on commitment would i still pass yours thoughts infrequently? although disowned erased and alone with a word you'd hear my voice pretending that i'm finally content with what i've got the sane with time rule worked out just fine i forgot to thank you for always boosting my self esteem sometimes lies are easy to believe don't hang on too tightly i may be short of breath but i'm not easy to deceive tripped all over my friends at once as they were starting to unwind had a feeling i was losing 'cause as they moved along i was falling far behind i've got a frame full of good intentions that i left back at home to rot thought that to stay underground and go streamline i'd be strong now i know i'm not every day's a week now a search for identity the ground below my feet has got the best of my and i'm tired of always changing i'm tired of being seen the path is leading homeward bound only god knows where i 've been i got sick of all my friends at once as they were starting to unwind had a feeling i was losing 'cause as they moved along i was falling far behind i've got a box full of small inventions that i left back at home to rot thought that to stay underground and go streamline i'd be strong now i know i'm not many months i've been gone now i've learned from all i've seen turn around and face southward bound this has got the best of my i'll keep looking for an answer until my eyes have gone blind i've run myself in circles and made it through this time with one foot on the platform one foot on the train i'm going back to richmond to wear that ball and chain |
