00:25As I walk along these days
00:30Seaman walks along
00:33Just an echo of people's head
00:38Has no place to call his own
00:43A shot rings out from a roof overhand
00:48A crackhead asks for change nearby
00:52An old man lies in an alleyway dead
00:57A little girl lost just stands there and cries
01:02What would you do?
01:07If it was you
01:11Would you take everything
01:15You're granted like you do?
01:28We're just 13 on the corner from sale
01:33Swallows just buy it for another hit
01:38Overpopulation, there's no room in jail
01:42And most of you don't give a shit
01:46That your daughters are born of stars
01:49And your sons sell death to kids
01:54So lost in your little world
01:59Your little world you'll never face
02:04What would you do?
02:07What would you do?
02:09If it was you
02:11If it was you
02:14Would you take everything
02:17For granted like you do?
02:30You turn away
02:34You turn away
02:38You turn away
02:43You turn away
02:47As I walk along these streets
02:51Soaking up the acid rain
02:57Underneath the acid rain
03:00Underneath the taxicabs
03:00Underneath the taxicabs
03:01I hear the streets
03:02Cry out in vain
03:04In vain
03:05What would you do?
03:09What would you do?
03:12What would you do?
03:12If it was you
03:13If it was you
03:15Would you take everything
03:18For granted like you do?
03:24What would you do?
03:27What would you do?
03:29What would you do?
03:29If it was you
03:31If it was you
03:33Would you take everything
03:36For granted like you do?
04:16I just need this
04:19To be alright
04:21I can't feel this
04:24Another night
04:25I can't take this
04:28I've come unglued
04:30I might break down
04:32In front of you
04:34Necessary
04:36To meditate
04:38I'm not sleeping
04:40Can't stay awake
04:43Can't see
04:45No, there's
04:48Too much pressure
04:52Drowning in there's
04:57Too much pressure
05:17If you need me
05:20I'll be here
05:22If unconscious
05:24Escape my fear
05:26I can't take this
05:29I can't take this
05:30I've come unglued
05:31I must break down
05:33In front of you
05:35Necessary
05:37To meditate
05:39I'm not sleeping
05:41Can't stay awake
05:43Can't stay awake
05:45Can't see through
05:47There's
05:49Too much pressure
05:53Drowning in there's
05:57Too much pressure
06:05Drowning in there's
06:08Too much pressure
06:32Drowning in there's
06:36Too much pressure
06:40Dancing through this
06:45Too much pressure
06:49Dying in this
06:53Too much pressure

07:29guitar solo
07:47I'm trying to breathe
07:53Memories overtaking me
07:56I try to face them but
07:59Thought it's too much to conceive
08:03I only know that I can change
08:09Everything else just stays the same
08:13So now I step out of
08:16The darkness that my life began
08:20I just needed someone to talk to
08:25You were just too busy with yourself
08:29You were never there for me
08:32To express how I felt
08:35I just stopped it down
08:37Now I'm older and I feel like
08:41I could let some of this anger fade
08:46But it seems the surface higher
08:49Tragic is the bed that I have been
09:01So where were you
09:06And all this I was going through
09:10Never took the time to ask me just what you could do
09:18I only know that I can change
09:23Everything else just stays the same
09:27So now I step out of
09:30The darkness that my life began
09:34I just needed someone to talk to
09:39You were just too busy with yourself
09:43You were never there for me
09:46To express how I felt
09:49I just stopped it down
09:52Now I'm older and I feel like
09:55I could let some of this anger fade
10:00But it seems the surface higher
10:03Scratching is the bed that I have made
10:09But I've never been to fade away
10:18Never meant to fade
10:23I just needed someone to talk to
10:27You were just too busy with yourself
10:32You were never there for me
10:35To express how I felt
10:37I just stopped it down
10:40Now I'm older and I feel like
10:44I could let some of this anger fade
10:48But it seems the surface higher
10:51Scratching is the bed that I have been
10:57Why did it interfere, I don't do anything
11:08Gay music
11:16I could let some of this anger go
11:18If you hadn't resisted
11:18You were never days
11:18You can never miss
11:18Let her love them
11:25and they don't change
11:35It's been a while since I could
11:40Hold my head up high
11:43And it's been a while since I first saw you
11:51And it's been a while since I can stand
11:56On my own two feet again
12:00And it's been a while since I could call you
12:08And everything I can remember
12:16It's fucked up as it always seems
12:24The consequences that I ran through
12:32I stretched myself beyond my means
12:40It's been a while since I couldn't say
12:45That I wasn't addicted and
12:49It's been a while since I couldn't say
12:53I love myself as well and
12:57It's been a while since I'm gone
13:01And fucked things up just like I always do
13:05And it's been a while but all that shit seems to disappear
13:11When I'm with you
13:14And everything I can remember
13:21It's fucked up as it always seems
13:29The consequences that I've learned
13:37I'm gonna fuck things up again
13:50Why must I feel this way
13:58Just make this go away
14:17And it's been a while since I could
14:22Looking myself straight
14:27And it's been a while since I've seen the way
14:40The candles light your face
14:44And it's been a while but I can still remember
14:49Just the way you taste
14:52And everything I can't remember
15:00It's fucked up as it always seems
15:05To me and I know it's me
15:08I cannot blame this on my father
15:16And it's been a while since I could
15:29Hold my head up high
15:33And it's been a while since I said I'm sorry
15:50If ever you had said to me before
15:56That I would leave this light
15:59That I am living now
16:02I guess it's all so strange
16:05To feel the way I do inside
16:11And have so much that I could feel
16:15Some pride for in my life
16:18So why is it that I feel like this
16:26How do I feel?
16:28I've been here before I felt this
16:33Retreat to a place
16:35A place within me
16:37I need this
16:41Keep it all down
16:43Bottle inside
16:44It breaks me
16:49Determine again
16:50And torture me like it used to
16:53I'm trying, trying to break away
16:57From all the hate I'm feeling
17:00For every one of you
17:04That's ever gonna be wrong
17:09Need to justify
17:12The reasons for the way I'm living
17:16I guess I can
17:19Cause I don't feel like I deserve
17:28How do I feel?
17:30I've been here before I felt this
17:36Retreat to a place
17:38A place within me
17:39I need this
17:44Keep it all down
17:46Bottle inside
17:47It breaks me
17:51Determine again
17:53And torture me like it used to
18:04But I live in the pain
18:06And I'm dying
18:11But I live in the pain
18:13But I'm gonna feel like
18:14I've been through
18:16My end of the day
18:26So now the waves
18:29They have subsided
18:31And my soul is bleeding
18:34I can't take away
18:38All the shame I feel
18:41Forgive me
18:47How do I feel?
18:49I've been here before
18:50I've been here before
18:52I've been here
18:54Retreat to a place
18:56A place within me
18:57I need this
19:02Keep it all down
19:04Bottle inside
19:05It breaks me
19:10Determine again
19:11And torture me
19:12Like it used to
19:14Again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again, again

21:41I can't believe
21:47I can't believe
21:52I can't believe
22:33Your words to me just always grow
22:40Your face is so unclear
22:46I try to pay your attention
22:53Your words just disappear
23:01Cause it's always raining in my head
23:13Forget all the things I should have said
23:36So I speak to you in riddles
23:42Cause my words get in my way
23:48I smoke the whole thing to my head
23:56And feel it wash away
24:01Cause I can't take any more of this
24:09I wanna come apart
24:16And take myself a little hole
24:22Inside your precious heart
24:30Cause it's always raining in my head
24:43Forget all the things I should have said
24:54I am nothing more than
24:59A little boy inside
25:06That cries out full of attention
25:11Yet I always try to hide
25:18Cause I talk to you like children
25:25Though I don't know how I feel
25:31But I know I'll do the right thing
25:38If the right thing is revealed
25:47Cause it's always raining in my head
25:54Cause it's always raining in my head
26:15Don't do it
26:40You can still put my wolf on top
26:43According to all of this
26:49The more you see, the more you do
26:53The television's beating you
26:57With what you wanna hear
27:00Anger and fear
27:01Because you suffer
27:11The hate you feel won't go away
27:16You're all programmed to feel this way
27:19To live another day
27:22Within a world that longs to suffer
27:35And then I come to find
27:39Everything's okay
27:43Seen this all before
27:47That was yesterday
27:50Try to walk right through
27:54The message that I've made
27:58Just let me enjoy
28:01The life in heaven
28:05I tried to give this all to you
28:09Can't take any more
28:12To deal with this
28:14It hurts inside
28:15I know why I hide
28:18Cause I suffer
28:27I tried to keep it all inside
28:32And didn't leave me too much pride
28:35I forced it all down inside
28:38Forced myself to make me suffer
28:51And then I come to find
28:55And everything's okay
28:59Seen this all before
29:03And that was yesterday
29:05I try to make it through
29:10The message that I've made
29:14So I can enjoy
29:17The life in and I've had

29:41And then I come to find
29:50Everything's okay

30:03These messages that I've made
30:07Just try to enjoy
30:10This life in and I've had
30:25guitar solo
30:59Another day inside my world
31:07Married to you and this road
31:15A road that never lets me sleep
31:23There's no way to escape these demons
31:27I am forced to keep
31:33And then I'll find you here
31:40Through your eyes
31:46Everything's clear
31:48And I fall inside your arms
31:57But I'm alone now
32:06I mean the best with what I say
32:15Doesn't always sound that way
32:22I never learn to work things out
32:31Cause in my family
32:33All we ever seem to do is shout
32:40And then I'll find you here
32:48Through your eyes
32:54Everything's clear
32:56And I fall inside your arms
33:05But I'm alone now
33:09Alone now
33:17And I try to sleep
33:24The drugs I take
33:28You're killing me
33:32I think of you
33:36It's my pain
33:40But you're so fine
33:46And now it's time to say goodbye
33:54I love you
33:56Baby, at least don't cry
34:05And then I'll find you here
34:13Through your eyes
34:17Through your eyes
34:18Everything's clear
34:20And I fall inside your arms
34:28But I'm alone for now
34:33Alone for now
34:37But I cannot walk
35:11To my mother, to my father
35:17It's your son or it's your daughter
35:23Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me?
35:32Should I turn this up for you?
35:38I see you're locked inside my head
35:44Remembering everything you said
35:49The silence gets us nowhere
35:54Gets us nowhere way too fast
36:00The silence is what kills me
36:05I need someone here to help me
36:11But you don't know how to listen
36:16And let me make my decision
36:24I'm sitting locked inside my head
36:30Remembering everything you said
36:36The silence gets us nowhere
36:41Gets us nowhere way too fast
36:51All your insults and your curses
36:58Make me feel like I'm not a person
37:03And I feel like I am nothing
37:09But you make me
37:13So do something

40:50All the times
40:53That I've cried

43:48Only she should know
43:52Only she should know
43:55It wasn't easy to deal
44:00With the tears that rolled down her face
44:05I had no answers
44:08I didn't even know
44:12I didn't even know you
44:16But these words
44:19They can't replace
44:40How could you paint this picture
44:45Was life as bad as it should
44:49It seemed
44:50It seemed that there were no more options
44:53It seemed that there were no more options for you
44:58I can't explain how I feel
45:03I've been there
45:05I've been there many times before
45:08I'm tasting the cold steel
45:12The hell of my life crashing down
45:16Before me
45:19But these words
45:22They can't replace
45:26The life you waste
45:32The life you waste
45:43The life you waste
45:56Did he live through you
46:00At your cost
46:02Did he leave no questions
46:05For you to answer on your own
46:09Well fuck that
46:11And fuck her
46:12And fuck him
46:13And fuck you
46:14But not having the strength in your heart
46:17I'm supposed to
46:18I'm that bad
46:19I'm that bad
46:20I'm that bad
46:21I'm fucked up
46:21I'm that clear
46:22It's all just me
46:23I should change
46:25My life with
46:26My own hands
46:30But these words
46:34They can't replace
46:38The life you
46:43The life you waste
46:45But these words
46:51They don't replace
46:55The life you
46:58The life you waste
47:39I feel like this won't go away
47:45No matter how hard I try to
47:50Please my eyes shut
47:52So I can see
47:55The pain in you
47:57There's pain in me
48:10Everything that I can say to you
48:16Won't help you
48:20Everything you need is right in front of you
48:24Just take it
48:26I know that
48:28I'm really not here
48:31To represent
48:33What I'm really not here
48:34To represent what I'm not clear
48:36About in my head
48:39Sometimes I'm really not here
48:42Sometimes I feel fucked up
49:09I'm really not here
49:10If you're not here
49:12Just take it
49:15Try to make it through the daily brain
49:20That you feel
49:25Maybe tomorrow will be so bad
49:29I know it is
49:34Cause I want you to move my way
49:42Nothing I could say
49:49Made it go away
49:55I lived through this
49:59I still feel this
50:02I just live for my tomorrow
50:22Just make it go away
50:30She'll make it go away
50:39She'll make it go away
50:58She'll make it go away
51:21And you
51:24Bring me to my knees
51:34All this time
51:37That I can't bear your face
51:47All the times
51:50That I felt insecure
51:59And I leave
52:03My purpose
52:06I'm on the outside
52:16I'm looking in
52:19I can see through you
52:23See your true colors
52:26Inside you're ugly
52:29You're ugly like me
52:32I can see through you
52:36See you're the real year
53:03I'm feeling those lighters
53:32All this time
53:35That I tried
53:39My intention
53:41Full of pride
53:44And I waste
53:48More time
53:51More time than anyone
53:58I'm on the outside
54:01And I'm looking in
54:04And I'm looking in
54:06I can see through you
54:09See your true colors
54:12Cause inside
54:13Cause inside you're ugly
54:15You're ugly like me
54:18I can see through you
54:22I can see through you
54:48It's all inside
54:51It's all inside
55:04And I feel
55:08Here in bed
55:11Here in bed
55:12All alone
55:14I can't live
55:17And I feel
55:20And I feel
55:24Tomorrow
55:24Will be
55:25Okay

55:30But I'm too
