how you see yourselves I rise with weary eyes and pretend it’s a world worth facing – sometimes I empathize, most days it just seems degrading – it’s the same routine each day, it tends to wear me down - I try to close my eyes, escape from here and go calm down – I try to close my eyes and pretend that I’m just dreaming - but the world’s just too fucked up – at some point I just stopped believing – all the propaganda and trash – doled out, spoon fed each day – for all the mindless masses – self obsessed unknowing slaves – make it all slow down, make it all slow down – I try to close my eyes and pretend that no one’s near me – but when I sober up I realize that I’m not dreaming – this world’s a total disgrace – we watched it go hell – our stagnant population lives to buy and sell – it’s time we all woke up – look past our padded cells – is this what you want? – is this how you see yourselves? – I try to close my eyes – pretend that I’m just dreaming – but the world’s just too fucked up – at some point I just stopped believing - I wish they’d all go away - I wish they’d leave me alone – I try to close my eyes but the voice inside my head won’t go (make it all slow down) – I wish they’d all go away - I wish they’d leave me alone – I try to close my eyes but the voice inside my head won’t go (make it all slow down) – make it all slow down – I rise with weary eyes and pretend it’s a world worth facing – sometimes I empathize, most days it just seems degrading – it’s the same routine each day, it tends to wear me down - escape from here and go calm down

Choices We poison water, we darken skies We stifle laughter, we smother cries We torture suspects, start wars with lies We drug ourselves, we’re along for the ride We’re filled with sadness but we say we’re fine We hoard possessions as we proclaim “mine” We wrecked our world and we kill mankind We can’t let it continue so you must decide Is this world worth saving as a whole? ‘cause it’s up to you to fix what’s broke If the humans stand a chance they must mend their ways And they’d better start soon before it’s too late Is this world worth saving as a whole We poison water, we darken skies ‘cause it’s up to you to fix what’s broke We stifle laughter, we smother cries If the humans stand a chance they must mend their ways We torture suspects, start wars with lies And they’d better start soon before it’s too late We’re filled with sadness but we say we’re fine And they’d better start soon before it’s too late We wrecked our world and we kill mankind It’s too late

HUMANS Let’s face it: two is a crowd and three is unseemly Add any more, you’re a mob, and they run amok easy It takes a greater strength than I’ve found to be around people It takes a leap of faith so profound to make them even seem real You know you gotta hate some, on mankind Before you can understand the slant of my perspective and why I gave up all hope for their plans It only leads to madness to think that you can conquer the world It only takes a human-like trait to poison the well for us all It’s time we faced the facts, Our species is awful But we persist in spite all of that, still our future is doubtful Cause your intentions are far from pure and your methods deemed unsound We forgot what it was to be sure, we’re to reckless while earth bound You know you gotta hate some, on mankind Before you can understand the slant of my perspective and why I gave up all hope for their plans It only leads to madness to think that you can conquer the world It only takes a human-like trait to poison the well for us all You people are the worst, You’re too much to bear You can call me misanthropic, I don’t care, I don’t care

the days become events to you – the way around is to stare it down through – scattered thoughts on second time viewed – and felt between us – a sideways glance you – we all become dissolved within the sinking sense beneath our skin – and when outside our pain divides then we become machine decline – talk all you want ‘cause no one’s listening – say what you will but it’s always gonna be like this – it’s a pattern of behavior, I keep insisting – nothing’s gonna change if we can’t even coexist – just keep on walking – don’t look back – just keep on moving – and forget the past – “thinking in circles” – no, it don’t matter now – it don’t matter now – look at their eyes – the pain, the failure, out of time – time is up then how will you tell – if then is now then we’ve earned our hell – we all become obsessed again – that slinky sense beneath our skins – and once outside the pain divides – beauty holds it by her side – I am again deplete inside – I have become machine decline – talk all you want ‘cause no one’s listening – say what you will but it’s always gonna be like this – it’s a pattern of behavior, I keep insisting – nothing’s gonna change if we can’t even coexist - when time is up then how will you tell – if then is now then we’ve earned our hell – it don’t matter now – the days become events to you – the way around is to stare it down through – scattered thoughts on second time viewed – and felt between us – a sideways glance you – we all become dissolved within the sinking sense beneath our skin – and when outside the pain divides we become machine decline – talk all you want ‘cause no one’s listening – say what you will but it’s always gonna be like this – it’s a pattern of behavior, I keep insisting – nothing’s gonna change if we can’t even coexist - it don’t matter now - talk all you want ‘cause no one’s listening – say what you will but it’s always gonna be like this – it’s a pattern of behavior, I keep insisting – nothing’s gonna change if we can’t even coexist – we become machine decline – no it don’t matter now

Control I look at my life like it doesn’t really matter at all I’ve applied myself but recently my efforts have stalled You shared my apathy and reinforced this sad lack of drive You watched me lose myself, become the very thing I despise My false complacency I’m fake, I’m make believe Nothing ‘bout it seems real to me Can’t take myself seriously Without control, I lack control There must be some good reason why I act the way that I do Lack of sincerity up to this point is what’s got me through I’ve said a thousand things I didn’t mean, in words I deplore I’ve been so sickening sweet, I think I might just rot at the core I’ll put it blatantly I’m fake, I’m make believe What you see’s not really me It’s my attempt to be pc I need control, I want control, I lack control, I’ll take control I’ve become so sheltered, my thoughts are solely self consumed So lost in my own life, can’t give a second thought to you I’ve gone to such extents that coming back is too far to go I’m more uniquely troubled than you’ll ever wish to know My tolerance is waning, My patience running thin My self-disgust is rising, I’m rotting from within I can’t hold back these words, these things I wish to say But rest yourself assured, I’ll unload one day In all sincerity I’m fake, I’m make believe Nothing ‘bout it seems real to me Can’t take myself seriously Without control, I lack control, I lack control, I’ll take control

mirror “over and over” “I’ve made my mistakes” – I, I never wanna be like you – eclectic cause you think you’re cool – always doing what they say – try to ring it – go away – you’re jaded and you’re full of spite – you’re the only one who thinks you’re right – you talk as if you think you know – but you’d rather really gain control - “over and over” “cause people have gotta know” – no harsh reflection this time – no pretension, you might ask why – just too stupid to ask for help – just too ugly to see yourself – “and I welcome this kind of examination because people have gotta know” – we all ignore our problems - “I’ve made my mistakes” “over and over” – I , I never wanna be like you - doing what they tell me to – just a tool of the inept hand – your ego’s really out of hand – its a system that just keeps us down, its a circle going round and round – and I’ve had as much as I can stand – always doing what they’ve planned - no harsh reflection this time – no pretension, you might ask why – just too stupid to ask for help – just too ugly to see yourself – “and I think too that I can say that I’ve made my mistakes” - its a system that just keeps us down, its a circle going round and round - “over and over” - I, I don’t wanna be like you – eclectic cause you think you’re cool – always doing what they say – try to ring it – go away - we all ignore our problems - “over and over”

Repair I need to be distracted in some way – can’t stop thinking ‘bout decisions I’ve made I need some interaction today – I can’t keep sitting here obsessing away it used to be that things were simple – they used to weigh less on my mind but it’s much different as I get older – there’s a vast array of things I’ve destroyed It takes much more restraint than it ever did before just to maintain a straight face or to even venture out the door a quick look back reveals I’m no better off than I was before so it seems that all I learn from year to year is how broken I am, for sure… i need repair Every situation degrades and I can feel reality slipping away I need it disassembled in my way – or else it won’t fit back together the same I used to wish that life was simple – but now I find I’m hoping we’ll die I’ve come to learn and love that mindset – now I just ignore you all the time It takes much more restraint than it ever did before just to sit and listen to the same old record, tales of yore each year that passes by leaves me less impressed I’m sure it’s likely time I learned to let it go, accept once more… i need repair Repair (what’s left of me) Replace (the hate in me) Remake (my history) Retask (me, just for you) It takes much more restraint than it ever did before just to maintain a straight face or to even venture out the door a quick look back reveals i’m no better off than I was before so it seems that all I learn from year to year is how broken I am, for sure

Want Can’t go on pretending That we don’t notice this We’re something more than meets the eye ‘cause there’s a hunger there that draws us both together though we can’t understand the reasons why I feel electric when you’re near me The room becomes this fading thing The world melts, the light recedes The motion, like ebbing of seas It’s pushed it’self upon us So I gave in to it’s urgency I keep wondering Just how it could be I’d be drawn to you and maybe You’d be drawn to me However this came to be, Let’s try it on for size Let’s see where it will go at least It’s a time bomb, baby Just waiting to blow We can’t wait much longer Now it’s time, it’s time to go A time bomb, baby Between you and me Take my hand, we’ll run away Find out if it was meant to be See the want in your eyes sometimes See the lust when you’re looking at me See the truth when I look back at you Get a taste of things and how it could be Feel the warmth when I move beside you Feel how hot the fire could be What if we should come together? We’d fit so easily It’s a time bomb, baby Just waiting to blow We can’t wait much longer Now it’s time, it’s time to go A time bomb, baby Between you and me Take my hand, we’ll run away Find out if it was meant to be A time bomb, baby You can feel it, you know We don’t have much longer Before time this all explodes A time bomb, baby We’re targets you see So take my hand, we’ll run away Leave the world behind It could be that easy Want (it’s complicated) Want (it’s not so easy) Want (to lose yourself, to let it go, to be with me) Want you here with me Want (it’s complicated) Want (it’s not so easy) Want (to lose yourself, to let it go, to be with me) Want you here with me It’s a time bomb, baby Just waiting to blow We can’t wait much longer Now it’s time, it’s time to go A time bomb, baby Between you and me Take my hand, we’ll run away Find out if it was meant to be A time bomb, baby There are: 10 different reasons why you can’t be mine, yet 9 of them are useless and 8 I’ve already tried and 7 different ways that this could turn out but only 6 will remain if you get up and go now, there were 5 different times we’ve had this moment be 4 us at 3 a.m. dreamt I’d said it before, there were 2 many times we let this moment slip by, now the time has come, so we should be 1 It’s a time bomb, baby Just waiting to blow We can’t wait much longer Now it’s time, it’s time to go A time bomb, baby Between you and me Take my hand, we’ll run away Find out if it was meant to be A time bomb, baby You can feel it, you know We don’t have much longer Before time this all explodes A time bomb, baby We’re targets you see So take my hand, we’ll run away Leave the world behind It could be that easy

Nothing I’ll ask you to stay, I’ll beg and I’ll plead Until there’s nothing left of me. But now that you’re gone I don’t know what I believe It’s the same old tragedy You thought you were right in what you should do Until you learned they’d lied to you What if I wasn’t wrong? What if wishes come true? What if I was meant for you? Don’t you say you don’t want it, Don’t you say you don’t need Me I’m nothing without you With so much lost And so much to gain I’m still nothing without you So life will go on and life will proceed But it doesn’t mean a thing to me If you’re not here it’s just an empty belief And I can’t believe in just me I stayed up all night wondering what I should do And now I think it’s time for you To sort it all out and to think it all through Cause what if I was meant for you? Don’t you say you don’t want it, Don’t you say you don’t need Me I’m nothing without you With so much lost And so much to gain I’m still nothing without you Don’t you say you don’t want it, Don’t you say you don’t need Me I’m nothing without you With so much lost And so much to gain I’m still nothing without you So don’t go, please stay Don’t leave me this way Alone and feeling betrayed Don’t go, just stay Don’t walk away How could you treat me this way? Don’t you say you don’t want it, Don’t you say you don’t need Me I’m nothing without you With so much lost And so much to gain I’m still nothing without you

Blame It’s been a few months now - and all our dreams are sold – not sure how this should be portrayed despite my own missteps – your moves were awfully bold – not quite so subtle anyway I don’t pretend to judge – you’ve got your life to live – and why should your wants be delayed but oh my god you’re fast – you up and packed your shit – got in the car drove away….well, blame me - and no one else – if you cant blame yourself - if you can’t face what’s left inside blame me – I’ve been no help – I left you by yourself - how could I expect that you’d stay mine blame me – I’ve been through hell – just like I blame myself – ‘cause I can’t fix what’s broke inside blame me – my martyred self – I’m mostly hurt, not help - no one can say I ever tried I know it’s all my fault – I know I drove you off – with inconsistent moody ways – but no amount of hurt no amount of wrong – explains how quick I was replaced (and in what way) – you make me wonder if you planned it all along – how long in plotting your escape? So when you think of me – now that you’re good as gone – do you feel love, regret or hate? blame me – I’ve been through hell – just like I blame myself – ‘cause I can’t fix what’s broke inside blame me – my martyred self – I’m mostly hurt, not help - no one can say I ever tried blame me - and no one else – if you cant blame yourself - if you can’t face what’s left inside blame me – I’ve been no help – I left you by yourself - how could I expect that you’d stay mine blame me – I’ve been through hell – just like I blame myself ‘cause I can’t fix what’s broke inside blame me – my martyred self I’m mostly hurt, not help - no one can say I ever tried blame me blame me

Explode Your Life I get the feeling that my heart’s grown cold – that my love’s grown old - it ain’t getting any younger – the way you answer me with such distain – it only kills the flame and makes the room grow colder – anytime you see my face you don’t seem glad to see me – I think I’ve finally worn on you – and if you’re gonna be like that – if you’re gonna hate me – here’s what you oughta do: Explode Your Life – you know that feeling when you first wake up? – you try to focus your thoughts and the world’s all blurry – well it’s kinda like I felt like that and now it’s clearing up and the haze is lifting – it’s plain right here for all to see – that’s all that’s left of you and me is a semblance of a former life – I think it’s time I took control – took my life off hold – and explored a different path tonight: I’ll Explode My Life – you should end it all if you’re so unhappy – rearrange the pieces till they’re less maddening – take it all apart and find what’s hurting – know it wont last cause you’re not deserving – the fundamental fact is I’m not uncaring – just better off in a life more daring – this whole damn thing is why – each time: I Explode My Life

Unresolved all the pain, it lasts too long - peace of mind is not mine to find in a world that’s yours, not mine – and I don’t want to be in control, I just need a life of my own – everything’s now cast aside, what was mine is now left behind – light I saw once in your eyes, has turned around and left me blind – if you leave then I can be free but would I still want to be just me and if you leave, will I want you back? – I don’t ever want to feel like that – decision made, division hurts – all this time I never learned – division made, decision wrong - all the pain, it lasts too long – I’m afraid I’ll never (you let me know) - you can say this is all my fault but the blame is not mine alone – made a choice that I can’t erase, see the shame lies on my face - could I change what I said, I would but pure desire doesn’t mean I should – it doesn’t matter, anything I say, when I decide it’s all thrown away – “I’m trapped” - decision made, division hurts – all this time I never learned – division made, decision wrong - all the pain, it lasts too long – it lasts too long - I’m afraid I’ll never learn - I’ll never learn - all the pain lasts too long

Horizon time to get up again - back into circulation it’s like I’ve always said, all bad things come back around without your presence here this feels like suffication so having realized that, I think it’s time that I get long gone so I’m leaving here and I’m never coming back I’ll be so far gone, over the vast horizon I’m leaving here - there’s no reason that I can’t nothing here to miss, nothing left I care about I’m leaving here ‘cause nothing seems to last find a way to move myself beyond my lost horizons I’m leaving here and I’m never looking back if you’re smart you’ll come and put this all behind you somehow It’s probably not this place, it’s clearly my frustration - the way in which things went and how they let me down although I’d love to say that’s my interpretation, it’s fairly plain to all I ran this whole thing to the ground So now it’s underway I’ll find a new location - Somewhere less populated where the world won’t come around I think before too long I’ll find the motivation - I’ll find my shangri la and by the time you’re back, I’ll be gone so I’m leaving here and I’m never coming back - I’ll be so far gone, over the vast horizon I’m leaving here there’s no reason that I can’t - nothing here to miss, nothing left I care about I’m leaving here ‘cause nothing seems to last - find a way to move myself beyond my lost horizons I’m leaving here and I’m never looking back - if you’re smart you’ll come and put this all behind you somehow nothing i cant replace - no reason left to stay - no bonds i need to break - no reason not to leave right now time to get up again - back into circulation - it’s like I’ve always said, all bad things come back around It’s probably not this place, it’s clearly my frustration - the way in which things went and how they let me down although I’d love to say that’s my interpretation it’s fairly plain to all I ran this whole thing to the ground So now it’s underway I’ll find a new location Somewhere less populated where the world won’t come around so I’m leaving here and I’m never coming back I’ll be so far gone, over the vast horizon I’m leaving here there’s no reason that I can’t nothing here to miss, nothing left I care about I’m leaving here ‘cause nothing seems to last find a way to move myself beyond my lost horizons - I’m leaving here and I’m never looking back - if you’re smart you’ll come and put this all behind you somehow

things you can’t have so concerned with what to buy and shiny like objects that catch your eye – just like a clock it’s synchronized – you hear that voice inside your mind – it’s just a hint of OCD – so you can’t let it go and you can’t let it be – you want what you want like it’s destiny and nothing else can put your mind at ease – there was a time and a place where this would have worked – but everything has changed now, it’s never gonna be like before – there’s always something that you want that you’ll never have and try as you might you can’t be happy anymore – you need a fix to make the day go by and all confused by your own mind and many little reasons to run and hide - it’s torn apart and patience is something that you never seemed to understand and waiting your turn, well the concept is so foreign to you – you need it now so you take whatever you can get – as soon as it’s gone then I wonder what you’re gonna do – I obsess over all the things I can’t have, do you obsess over all the things you can’t have? – so concerned with what to buy and shiny like objects that catch your eye – just like a clock it’s synchronized – you hear that voice inside your mind – it’s just a hint of OCD – so you can’t let it go and you can’t let it be – you want what you want like it’s destiny and nothing else can put your mind at ease –
