Текст песни:

If ever you had said to me before
That I would live this life that I am
Living now I guess it′s all so strange
To feel the way I do inside but
Have so much that I could feel some
Pride for in my life so why is it that
I feel like this

How do I feel? I′ve been here before,
I′ve felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me
I need this. keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
Torture me like it used to

I try and try to break away from all the hate
I′m feeling for everyone of you that′s ever
Done me wrong. I need to justify the reasons
For the way I′m living. I guess I can′t cause
I don′t feel like I deserve it

So now the waves they have subsided
And my soul is bleeding I can′t take away
The shame I feel, forgive me

Текст песни:

It′s 3 AM,
It′s cold outside, and you can′t sleep.
Is it from your conscience talking,
to the skeletons you keep?
Every time you try to speak, only craziness comes out.
But she can′t turn the other cheek,
and you can′t help how it comes out.

So when did you decide, to embrace what you hate to survive?
Cuz that′s not what got us here.

It′s 8 AM and still no sleep, but you don′t care.
I don′t know why I keep on calling, doesn′t get us anywhere.
Cuz every time I try to speak, it never let my words come out.
I can′t turn the other cheek, and I can′t help how this comes out.

So when did you decide, to embrace what you hate to survive?
Cuz that′s not what got us here.

Honestly,
I don′t know how you could see, something you once thought of me.
Just another volunteer...

To wonder if you ever lie awake in bed and think about the things you said.
Your dedication shows but you can′t see, your eyes are closed.
And all the promises you made to me,
They seem to fade and leave me with this disappointment that these words can never show.

When your ride is over, and your hanging by a thread.
As your house of cards is falling, just remember what I said.

So when did you decide, to embrace what you hate to survive?
Cuz that′s not what got us here.

And honestly,
I don′t know how you could see, something you once thought of me.
Just another volunteer, for you to bleed.

Текст песни:

You take this all for granted. All the things that used to be you. By keeping you distracted just
long
enough to bleed you.

A reason for your anger, it′s what I need, it′s what I need. To recognize the truth it′s what I
need,
it′s what I need. So burn your paper Jesus its what I need, it′s what I need, and all the things you
do,
its what I need, its what I need.

Don′t believe what they tell you, all the lies that they are teaching, when the make the
corporations all
the desperate people stealing.

Somebody chose these words for you. Interpretations of the truth. Somewhere behind your fear they
hide.
To fill the holes inside.

@ Staind

Текст песни:

Well I want you to notice
To notice when I′m not around
And I know that your eyes see straight through me
And speak to me without a sound

[Chorus:]
I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things I′ve already endured
I want to show you
Show you all the things that this life has in store for you
I′ll always love you
The way that a father should love his daughter

When I walked out this morning
I cried as I walked to the door
I cried about how long I′d be away for
I cried about leaving you all alone

[Chorus]

Sweet Zoe Jane [x2]

So I wanted to say this
Cuz I wouldn′t know where to begin
To explain to you what I have been through
To explain where your daddy has been

[Chorus]

Sweet Zoe Jane [x2]

Текст песни:

Your words to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

′cause it′s always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles
′cause my words get in my way.
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
′cause I can′t take anymore of this,
I want to come apart,
Or dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

′cause it′s always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention,
Yet I always try to hide
′cause I talk to you like children,
Though I don′t know how I feel
But I know I′ll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

′cause it′s always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

Текст песни:

I′m not very good at just paying attention
I′m not very good at remembering things that you say
I′m not very good at persuing redemption
I′m not very good at concealing the hand that I play

[chorus]
It′s the way I am, you′ll never change
The way I am, or re arrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it′s the way I am

I′m not really sure of the coming attractions
I′m not really sure of the illusions we read on the wall
I′m not really sure of the preaching we practice
I′m not really sure if we notice it before we fall

[chorus]
It′s the way I am, you′ll never change
The way I am, or re arrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it′s the way I am

I′m not very good at just paying attention
I′m not very good at remembering things
I′m not very good at pursuing redemption
I′m not very good at concealing the hand that I play

When I′m trying so hard just to beat you
I′m not really good at controlling my fate
I′m not really good at controlling my anger
I′m not really good at subduing my hate
I′m not really good [x3]

[chorus]
It′s the way I am, you′ll never change
The way I am, or re arrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it′s the way I am

Текст песни:

I′m one stop
From a breakdown
Two steps from
Being safe
Just try to
See this through
I′m three steps
From this nightmare
And four steps
From the door
The rest is
Up to you

Pardon me while I
Just turn my back
And walk away
Pardon me if I
Can′t listen
To the things
You say
Pardon me if I
Can′t fake it
While you still believe
Pardon me

I′m one step
From forgiveness
And two steps
From my grave
We′re all just
Passing through
Three steps
From redemption
Four from the
Devil′s door
On a path
That leads to you

Pardon me while I
Just turn my back
And walk away
Pardon me if I
Can′t listen
To the things
You say
Pardon me if I
Can′t fake this
While you still believe
Pardon me

Pardon me while I
Just turn my back
And walk away
Pardon me if I
Can′t listen
To the things
You say
Pardon me if I
Can′t fake it
While you still believe
Pardon me

I′m two steps
From salvation
But i′m only
Taking one
Pardon me

Текст песни:

She sits alone again
And tries her best not to pretend
That all she used to live for
Was the love that wasn′t there

And every time she needs to do the things
That she believes
Will fill the void inside of her
Because he was never there

[2x]
And she says, ′I swear I′m not the devil,
Though you think I am.
I swear I′m not the devil′

He tries to sleep again
And wonders when the pain will end
The cuts, they may run deeper than his cracking outer shell

He looks with tired eyes
At all the people hypnotized
And wonders what will save him
From his self created hell.

[2x]
And he says, ′I swear I′m not the devil,
Though you think I am.
I swear I′m not the devil′

I always fail to see the little things in front of me
The things that mean so much to you; a way to let you know.
That I appreciate the way you always tolerate
But sometimes when I medicate
Frustration in you shows me how you feel.

But I swear I′m not the devil,
Though you think I am.
I swear I′m not the devil

And I scream,
I swear I′m not the devil.
Though you think I am.
I swear I′m not the devil.

Текст песни:

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

[chorus]

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 its not just me,
alone if only i could make you see

[chorus (x3)]

@ Staind

Текст песни:

Can′t you see that I′m sick of this?
Chances are you′re oblivious to how I feel
Sitting on your throne, and I′m sure that I′m not alone,
Not alone, not alone.

Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn′t see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I′m still wearing this miserable skin
And it′s starting to tear from within
But it′s obvious that doesn′t bother you, so please

I didn′t think that you′d sell me out
Now I know what you′re all about.
You might feel in control of things.
But you′re not holding all the strings.
All the strings, all the strings.

Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn′t see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I′m still wearing this miserable skin
And it′s starting to tear from within
But it′s obvious that doesn′t matter to you,
So please

I′ve swallowed all your answers
I′ve swallowed all my pride
You′ve used up all your chances
Can′t keep this all inside

Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn′t see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I′m still wearing this miserable skin
And it′s starting to tear from within
But it′s obvious that doesn′t bother you

So please don′t keep telling me that it′s ok
I don′t buy all the shit that you say
And quite honestly I′m fucking sick of it
so please if I cut off this nose from my face
Then I wouldn′t feel so out of place
But it still wouldn′t be quite enough for you,
so please.

Текст песни:

I try to breathe
Memories overtaking me
I try to face them but
The thought is too
Much to conceive

I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
That my life became ′cause

I just needed someone to talk to
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me to
Express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I′m older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface
I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

So where were you
When all this I was going through
You never took the time to ask me
Just what you could do

@ Staind

Текст песни:

you don′t know what you′ve put me through
it′s okay, i′ve forgiven you
but in some way, hope it fucks with you
hope it fucks with you

[pre-chorus]
that i′m okay and i′ve made it through
but who′s to say what you′re going through
i′ll say no names, though i′ve wanted to
isn′t it strange how it seems like...

[chorus]
yesterday, a boy and already afraid
locked deep inside, my place to hide
to hide from how you made me feel
and i wonder how′s your brother
did he end up fucked up like me?
lost in himself, crying for help it′s safe to say
i learned to live without a pride
just a shell, with me stuck on the inside
a prison, not a place to hide
not a place to hide

[pre-chorus]

[chorus]
[chorus (altered)]

yesterday, a boy and already afraid
locked deep inside, my place to hide
to hide from how you made me feel
and i wonder how′s your brother
did he finally pull through like me?
finding himself, not needing help
i′d like to say

Текст песни:

Failed to see,
How destructive we can be.
Taking without giving back,
′Til the damage can be seen,
Can you see?
Can you see?

The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.

Apathy, the chosen way to be,
Blindly look the other way,
While you waste away with me,
Can you see?
Can you see?

The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.

What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game.

The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.

What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game.

Текст песни:

What′s happened to you?
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 now?

[Chorus:]
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 this life is
Got your fingers burned by burning candles at both ends
Now the table′s turned and now your demons are your freinds

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

So now I question what you′re gonna do
Now that everything′s gone 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

[Chorus]

@ Staind

Текст песни:

live in my head for just one day
i see myself andlook away
the road is showing now on my face
soon i′ll disappear
I′ll disappear without a fucking trace

[chorus]

faces that i′ve seen turn old and grey
i′ve lost too many freinds along the way
memories i never thought would fade
they fade and blow away

i wish that icould 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

[chorus]

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 read,
a book that can′t be,
a book that can′t be read

[chorus]

@ Staind

Текст песни:

You the great pretenders, blood to paint your pictures
While you’re stepping over fallen people lying in the streets
You the great offenders, only your views matter
While your heart grows colder, I wish that you could open up and feel

For a while see if you can take it
Feel, you’re alive and this is all part of it
Feel, could it be that we’re all afraid
′Cause it feels like a rainy day parade

We the great believers, blood is legal tender
I will not surrender what it was our fathers died to bear
We the people stated, not negotiated
Just to be forgotten, I wish that you could open up and see

For a while see if you can take it
See, you’re alive and this is all part of it
See, can’t you see that we’re all afraid
‘Cause it seems like a rainy day parade

What I see is all too real
What I need is what you steal
And all I reap is what you take
Upon my back on which you break
I just wish that we could rise above and feel

For a while see if you can take it
Feel, you’re alive and this is all part of it
Feel could it be that we’re all afraid
‘Cause it feels like a rainy day parade
