Cold

Looking back at me I see that I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you, I’m always wrapped up in things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by, something strong like a drug that gets me high

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so [x2]

Cold to you, I’m sorry about all the lies, maybe in a different light,
You can see me stand on my own again cause now I can see
You are the antidote that get me by, something strong like a drug that get me high

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold [x2]

Never meant to be, so cold

I never really wanted you to see the screwed side of me
That I keep locked inside of me so deep, it always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go so many things you should have known
I guess for me there’s just no home; I never meant to be so cold

What I really meant to say
Is I’m sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
Never meant to be so cold [x2]

I wanna back, Man!


Colors

Can you feel it crush you
Does it seem to bring the worst in you out
Theres no running away from
These things that hold you down

Do they complicate you
Because they make you feel like this
Of all the colors that you shine
This is surely not your best

But you should know these
Colors that your shinin'

Are surely not the best
Colors that you shine
Surely not the best
Colors that you shine

I know you feel alone, yea
No one else can figure you out
But don't you ever turn away from
The ones that held you down

They love to save you
Don't you know they love to see you smile
But these colors that you shine
Are surely not your style

But you should know these
Colors that your shinin'

Are surely not the best
Colors that you shine
Surely not the best
Colors that you shine

I know your feeling like your lost
But you should know these colors that you shinin' are
I know your feeling like your lost
You feel you've drifted way to far
Did you know these colors that you shinin' are

Surely not the best
Colors that you shine
Surely not the best
Colors that you shine
Surely not the best (I know your feeling like your lost)
Colors that you shine (But you should know these colors that are shinin' are)
Surely not the best (I know your feeling like your lost)
You feel you drifted way to far
Did you know these colors that you shinin' are

I wanna back, Man!


Dead Skin

So I’m the king of all these things
Of this mess I have made
Such a waste
What a shame
My whole life is a fake
Well I’m a bore and I’m sure
I’m a thorn inside of you
That has torn at you for years
The alcohol, the Demerol,
These things could never replace
What a minute with you could do
To put a smile on my face
Well I’m a bore and I’m sure
I’m a thorn inside of you
That has torn at me you for years

I can’t get out of this dead skin
I can’t shed my skin
Not so well to begin
I can’t get under my dead skin
I can’t shed my skin
Can I slip to bed

Phenobarbital and alcohol
These two surely will do
To knock me out
To keep me down
At least a day or two
When I’m awake
I can taste how bitter I’ve become
And it’s more than I can bear
Some days I pray, someone will blow me away
Make it quick, but let it burn
So I can feel my life fade
Well, I’m a waste, and I can taste
how bitter I’ve become
And it’s more than I can bear

I can’t get out of this dead skin
I can’t shed my skin
Not so well to begin
I can’t get under my dead skin
I can’t shed my skin
Can I slip to bed

I can’t get out of this dead skin
Not so well to begin
I can’t get under my dead skin
Can I slip to bed

I can’t get out of this dead skin
I can’t shed my skin
Not so well to begin
I can’t get under my dead skin
I can’t shed my skin
Can I slip to bed

I wanna back, Man!


No Giving Up

So you found out today
You're life's not the same
Not quite as perfect
As it was yesterday
When you were just
Getting in the groove
Now you're faced with something new
I know it hurts
And I know you feel torn
But you never gave up
This easily before
So why do you choose today
To give it all away

Well it's not so bad y'all
Together we all fall
Just as long as we get up
We'll stand tall
We shouldn't waste another day
Thinking 'bout the things
That we forgot to say
I'm hitting bad y'all
I'm kicking these four walls
Just as hard as I can't
'till I can't crawl
I won't waste another day
With all these silly things
Swimming in my brain

There's no giving up now
Do you really wanna give this all away?
Can't you ever see things in a different way?
Somedays..
Such a beautiful thing to throw away
You should think things through
Over and over again
All over again

So your scars fade away
You soaked up the pain
A better person 'cause you
Lived through those days
And now you know what it's like to prove
You can overcome anything that gets to you
Well it's alright
We're saying our goodbyes
To the past and everything that ain't right
We won't waste another day
With only silly things in our way

There's no giving up now
Do you really wanna give this all away?
Can't you ever see things in a different way?
Somedays..
Such a beautiful thing to throw away
You should think things through
It's all you
Giving up now

I know we have given
All that we can give
When there's nothing to lean on
Will I remember this?
All we make of this lifetime
Is all we do within
And remembering that's why
[whispering] We should never give in

Do you really wanna give this all away?
Can't you ever see things in a different way?
Somedays..
Such a beautiful thing to throw away
You should think things through
Over and over again
All over again
There's no giving up now!

I wanna back, Man!


So Far Away

I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
(I've been changin' but you'll never see me now)
Now I'm blamming you for everything

No more holding it in
How many years can I pretend
And nothing ever goes the way it should

No more sitting in this place
Hoping you might see it my way
Cause I don't think you ever understood
That I'm looking for the answers
To why these questions never go away

I'm so far away
I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
I'm so far away
Now I'm blamming you for everything

No more waiting for the end
Of everyday that I will spend
Wishing that I only had a choice

No more pushing it away
Cause I'll be busy watching things go my way
Never looking back on this anymore
Cause what I'm looking for the answers
To why these questions never go away

I'm so far away
I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
I'm so far away
Now I'm blamming you for everything

I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
Now I'm blamming you for everything

I'm so far away

Hey, hey, watch me wave
Goodbye to yesterday
Nothing left in my way

Hey, hey, I've been saved
With sun shinning on my face
Getting me through this day

Hey, hey, watch me wave
Goodbye to yesterday
Nothing left in my way
Feels so good to say

I'm so far away
I've been changin' but you'll never see me now
I'm so far away
Now I'm blamming you

I'm so far away

I wanna back, Man!


Starless

If only you could watch me fall
I cannot feel it anymore
The soul you kept, the soul you adored
Cannot feel you anymore
Cause you run through me with destructive force
I think somehow I gotta get it straight
I gotta get you out of me
But I cannot get through you

See me down and again
Deeper with every breathe
See me over the edge
Father with every step
See me down and again
Deeper with every breathe
Standing over the edge
I’m taking my last breath

Oh I’m feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to fade now
And how I feel like I’m starless
I’m hopeless and played out
And how I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to fade now
And how I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to burn out

I can transcend you and mentally bend you
But I can’t handle the shit that I’m into
I have been blinded
I’m always reminded of the things I’ve wanted but I never could find
I am a part of a world that I hate of
I wish the end would come faster
My worlds a disaster
Can’t you see that I’m down and I’m drowning
And I can’t keep my head above my wake

See me down and again
Deeper with every breathe
See me over the edge
Father with every step
See me down and again
Deeper with every breathe
Standing over the edge
I’m taking my last breath

Oh I’m feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to fade now
And how I feel like I’m starless
I’m hopeless and played out
And how I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to fade now
And how I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to burn out

I gotta get you out of my veins
I gotta get you out of my world

I gotta get you out of my scene
I gotta get you out of me

But I’m really trying hard to get down to words
Is the way I fit into this world, I think I’ve survived
Pushed me to the darker side
Cause life that it was, the light that was yours should have been mine
But they never could take anymore of this
Cause I’m always going to get, gonna get down to the floor
It’s a cold gun that I kiss
Cause I cannot break anymore

So now I feel like I’m starless
-I’m ready to fade now
That’s how I feel when I’m starless
-I’m hopeless and played out
Somehow I feel like I’m starless
I’m ready to burn out
Oh now I’m starless


I wanna back, Man!


The Deep End

I built my life like my bike on a rigid frame
Nothing bends it only breaks into pieces and pieces
I waited for hope to arrive but it never came
Leaving me with only pain inside
I’m going off the deep end

I built my life on a rigid frame
So nothing bends it only breaks into pieces and pieces
I waited for hope to arrive but it never came
Leaving me with only pain inside
I’m going off the deep end

Holding on is harder than it seems
When you’re reaching for so much more
Seems so much easier to just give in
When you’re reaching for so much more

Another wasted Saturday’s so here I stay
But nothing seems to ever change anyway hey
All this hype about life being great
Where’s the love for me these days
I’m going off the deep end

Holding on is harder than it seems
When you’re reaching for so much more
Seems so much easier to just give in
When you’re reaching for so much more [x2]

I wanna back, Man!


The Unknown

Can you hear me
Can you see any part of me
Can you feel me
Can you bleed for me

Can’t you see me walking in your shoes
Can’t you feel me stepping all over your soul
Can’t you feel me reach into you
Can’t you feel me stepping all over your soul
Can’t you feel me waiting pain
Can’t you feel me reach into you

Can’t you see me walking in your shoes
Can’t you feel me stepping all over your soul
Can’t you feel me reach into you
Can’t you feel me walking over your soul
Can’t you feel me waiting pain
Can’t you feel me reach into you

Can’t you feel me walking over your soul
Can’t you feel me waiting pain
Can’t you feel me reach into you

I wanna back, Man!
