Flaw

align
Only fooling yourself thinking everything's just fine
You never opened up your mind anyway,
Afraid of what you might find safe to say
Be real and face all the fears that you may
It all works out someday

So sick of the same old shit, I'm in deep
and it's almost like there's no way out
But then a light of hope shines down upon me
I realize just how I gotta let it out

It's a pleasure that I'm in control
First time in my life
Doesn't matter how the ball rolls
I know I'll be alright

So sick of the same old shit, I'm in deep
and it's almost like there's no way out
But then a light of hope shines down upon me
I realize just how I gotta let it out

Music is a drug
And you know god if I could
I'd shoot it all day long

Though I've made an awful mess
I found a way out
It keeps me sane and helps me not regress
You see, I believe there is no other route

So sick of the same old shit, I'm in deep
and it's almost like there's no way out
But then a light of hope shines down upon me
I realize just how I gotta let it out

Music is a drug
And you know god if I could
I'd shoot it all day long

Though I've made an awful damn mess
I've found a way out...

Keeps me sane helps me not regress, so what's wrong [repeat]
Keeps me sane...

MY MUSIC IS A DRUG
SHOOT IT
SHOOT IT


"Payback"

There's another reflection involved up in my mind
A wholeness that has just been lost
Striving hard for perfection but still nothing to find
Some value with a cheaper cost
And as I reach out to hear you the sound is so muffled
It makes a lesser man of me
So the only thing left to bring up to date is

[chorus]
You suck!
Watch me fall while I go down
I'm taking all you bastards to the ground with
me then I'll frown
On your fucking whole life
The systematic hype still means a bit much to me
[repeat]

I'm at the point of retraction and still slipping further
This place is getting worse for me
There's such a lack of direction and models to live by
No bright skies ahead of me
And as I reach out for your hand you turn and
then wander
Why I simply just can't see
No separation of gender no difference in me
You're just leading me on and on and on
You lead me on and on and on and on

[chorus]

Pretty soon it's gonna come back and be your turn
Pretty soon you're gonna be the one that burns

[chorus]

Your turn now


"Inner Strength"

Here we sit all alone in an outnumbered fight
Led to decipher between wrong and right
And some may fail at this joke that some of
Us call life
Yes at this game some call life

[Chorus:]
But the system can't bail me out of hell
we'd be better off cursed eternally
All we got is ourself I have faith in that
Believe and one day you'll do just as well now

As you were you little puppet you pauper you
Freak that's right
That's what some of them have said to me
So I object and try to figure things out for myself
I'm building up full emotional wealth

[Chorus]

[x4]
The inner strength is what the hate it wants us not to feel

And the system cant't bail me out of hell
I've made this discovery and it has helped
All I got is myself I have faith in that
Believe and someday

[x4]
We'll put the system in jail

I made it through scraped black and blue
But so can you I made it through so black and blue
But you can too I made it through scraped
Black and blue
But so can you I made it through so black and blue

[x3]
We will all make it through

I did, so can you, so can you


"No Time"

Are you gonna change up the rules
Giving the impression that all this comes from you
Treating all your allies like tools
Maybe there is a facet of life that passed right by you

Even the fathers of all our misguided sons are
Resting in a place of no disgrace surrounded by
Examples giving grace to all those people feeling the grudge
Of one expensive taste, oh what a waste
Provided by you

Time, needing much more of
Time, calling me home and
Time is the only portion of life
That is not negotiable...

Stories that we know just aren't true
All of those things that make our time overdue
Treating all your allies like tools
Maybe there's a facet of life that passed right by you

Even the fathers of all our misguided sons are
Resting in a place of no disgrace surrounded by
Examples giving grace to all those people feeling the grudge
Of one expensive taste, such a waste
Provided by you

Time, needing much more of
Time, calling me home and
Time is the only portion of life
That is not negotiable...

Time, needing much more of
Time, calling me home and
Time is the only portion of life
That is not negotiable...


"Only the Strong"

what makes you think that it'll all work out in the end.
afraid to feel bad. better off to try and pretend. I'm
immortal, immune to all that is wrong. just keep on wishing.
crossing my fingers. so long. is this helping? i'm growning
weaker each day. can't stop whining.
still afraid of what i might say or reactions, that control us one and all.

[chorus]
It's mine, it's pure and as decent as i can make myself.
Inside, we all know, only the strong survive.

Why don't you think about that?
so now i'm bleeding on myself yes once again.
seems i trusted another deceitful freind. my fault. should've known the deal.
keep your friends close, but your enemies closer, for real.
seems easy, but nothing could be so hard. trying to guess lifes
dealing. what's the next card? I'm surely folding.
i don't like this hand at all.

[chorus]

Keep those eyes wide open, here comes a blind side.

maybe things happen for a reason and wherein lies the answer.
to overcome the grieving of lifes unruly lessons. i'm handed
in sucession. it builds my pain which makes me strong.

[chorus]

Why don't you think about that??


"Out of Whack"

maybe nobody told you about this life
maybe nobody answered your questions why
simple revelations they come in time
those liars told us things would all be fine
born out of whack give him something possible
you thought it would've mattered
not likely to change things we've come too far
where innocent young kids are put behind bars
but it's an easy decision banished so far
you're not as civil as you think you are
[chorus]
you say we're all born out of whack
well don't act so surprised how there's been
a lot going on
since you realized that we're all just kids trying
to get along
so answer one thing
are you gonna stay inside. are you gonna stay
inside of our minds?
are we all born wrong?
[chorus]


"One More Time"

There must be something you can recommend.
I've lost my faith in man again
So sick of trying to pretend.
Same pain over and over again
How much longer do you think we'll stand.
So little left here to live for
By the time my life is at its end.

[Chorus]
I want it back one more time
Let me try one more time.
Live my life one more time
We never seem ready for this

It keeps on haunting me day after day. Am I
going about things the right way
Which truth's to pass and with which truth's to say
It's all so hard I'm just so damn afraid
Had about as much as I can take.
So little left here to live for
By the time my life is at its end.
I'll want it back

[chorus]

I need the chance to live my life one more time
Give me the chance to live my life one more time
