YOU'VE DONE NOTHING 

You don't know what you want to be 
You don't know what you want to do 
Never going to amount to much of anything 
So what's the difference if you win or lose? 
Well that's something 
Well isn't that something 
You've done nothing wrong and it's never you fault 
You've done nothing 
Don't care where your friends have gone because you never really needed them anyway 
Never going to be exactly who you are because you try too hard to be just like them 
Well that's something 
Well isn't that something 
You've done nothing wrong and it's never your fault 
You've done nothing 
You've got brains in your head 
Feet in you shoes 
You can steer yourself 
Any way you choose 
You're on your own 
And you know what you know 
And it's up to you to decide where you'll go

I'M NOT AFRAID 

I didn't want a second chance 
Now that's exactly where I am 
Back where I didn't want to be 
Back where I knew you'd find me out 
I've never been afraid of you 
I never will admit the truth 
I know there's something I can do 
I'm not afraid to face myself 
But is it me or something else? 
Makes me exactly what I am 
That's something I will always doubt

DISCONNECTED 

You don't know a thing about me 
Is there something that you should know? 
I can tell you what you want to hear 
Let you inhibitions just go 
No you don't know what you will give up 
You don't know what you want 
It may take you years to find out 
You don't know what you need 
It's something that may never come to you 
Trust is something that comes easy 
When you've never been a victim 
Lies and promises and words are said 
It's your decision to accept them

NO AUTHORITY 

There is someone who knows everything there is to know 
There is someone who is too afraid to let it show 
We live by consequences 
We never seem to get it right 
Conflict of circumstances 
And sometimes we may lose a fight 
Wouldn't you know 
Something is going wrong 
Wouldn't you know 
Something is really wrong 
No you have no authority 
No I am who I want to be 
There are those of us who just sit back and never try 
There are those of us who just sit back and wonder why 
We live by consequences 
We never seem to get it right 
Conflict of circumstance 
And sometimes we may lose a fight

I WANT 

Everybody wants the truth 
But everybody lies 
Everybody wants some proof 
But everybody's blind 
So open up your eyes 
I really don't know much of anything at all 
But I'll admit were all the same 
You ask forgiveness and you make the same mistakes 
And I'll admit we're all the same 
I want to know 
Do these words mean anything? 
How can this life mean something more than what it seems? 
Everybody wants equality 
But we're all prejudice 
We're all hypocrites 
Everybody wants the world 
But we have nothing

YOU'VE GOT A PROBLEM 

So what's the problem now this time? 
I thought you'd learn by now that nothing ever works out right 
You want to take away the edge 
You tell me it's the only thing that helps you forget 
You've made your promises 
That's not enough this time 
There's only so much you can squander from a feeble mind 
You've got a problem with your life 
You've got a problem with your mind 
Don't try to tell me that you think it's going to work out fine 
So go ahead and try to hide 
The world around you watches on as you destroy your life 
Do what your problem says 
There's not a lot of time 
There's only so much you can squander from a feeble mind 
You've got a problem with your life

EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHING 

We've got a lot of questions 
We've got a lot to learn 
So tired of solving problems 
Too many bridges burned 
We see it all so clearly and still we close our eyes 
Why should we understand it? 
What good is know why? 
I know that life can be filled with these changes 
I know there's times when it feels like I'm failing 
I know something in my life will change again soon 
Now I've got a lot of questions 
I've got a lot to learn 
I'm tired of solving problems 
Too many bridges burned 
I can't change what's in the past 
I want to move ahead 
I want to understand it 
Give me the reason why 
I'm tired of running these circles in my life 
I've seen the future it changes before my eyes and 
I know that there is something that's going to change in my life 
I know something in my life will change again

I'M TRYING 

Four-year-old at play 
Shot and killed today 
Never even had a chance 
Seventeen and high 
Threw away his life 
Has a gun to feel like he's a man 
Can't have it any other way 
Laying in the street 
Asking for a drink 
Doesn't have a place to live 
Pregnant at thirteen 
Still can hear the screams 
Something that she never will forget 
Can't have it any other way 
I'm trying to open my mind 
So you can keep your faith 
And I'll just walk away 
There's no reason for me to stay 
I'm trying to open my mind 
I'm trying to make up my mind

PASTEL 

Another falls in place 
You wonder if you're only human 
It's blood, dust, and paste 
We're held together by a single thread 
Must be a reason for us to justify it 
But no one will defy it 
What it is with this place? 
Or is it that I'm missing something? 
You want to see my face 
When I can't even see it for myself 
I don't want a game that I don't know how to play 
Just go away 
And I don't want to know how to play 
Can't I make it just go away? 
Don't you understand what these problems will demand? 
Make it just go away 
I don't want a game that I don't know how to play 
Just go away

NOTHING NEW 

There is nothing new 
Put in front of you 
Nothing you don't understand 
Don't try to rationalize 
No one hears your lies 
Only one can comprehend 
You don't want to see 
You don't want to hear 
You don't want to feel at all 
Tell me that you've tried 
Mind is open wide 
But you're not listening at all 
Please don't question me I don't have the time 
If there's a problem than it's easier to set aside 
There is nothing that will make you want to change your mind 
You can't take it 
You can't make it 
You can't make it so why try?

WALK AWAY 

Don't want to hear what you said 
Don't want to kick in your head 
Don't want to live my life that way 
Don't want to give in but I don't want to be victimized 
Don't want to live my life that way 
Walk away 
Try to see things in a different way 
Don't want to tell you your place 
Don't want to get in your face 
Don't want to live my life that way 
Don't want to know what you think 
Don't want to know anything 
Don't want to live my life that way 
Walk away 
Try to see things in a different way 

back
 
 

  

DO YOU CARE? 

Do you want to make a difference? 
Do you wonder what will happen if you don't? 
Do you need just a little push? 
Do you try to change? 
Do you think about the other guy? 
Do you want just one good reason why you should? 
Do you only think about yourself? 
You're running out of time 
And I don't see a change in you 
And I don't think you're gonna make it 
Do you understand the way it works? 
Do you want to take as much as you can get? 
Do you need a little push? 
Do you try to change? 
We're running out of time and there aren't many changes made 
And I don't think we're going to make it

1,000 X 

I've tried to ask the question 
Must be a million answers that just aren't there 
You try to find yourself 
I'll try to live my life 
I just don't care 
Take a look at your life 
Tell me can you say you've no wrong? 
Ask yourself the question 
Do you realize where you belong? 
I've been down 
I've been out 
I've been there 
I've been down this road a thousand times 
Nothing ever looks the same 
It seems there's nothing more I might never see
