The Root of All Evil
|
|
VI. Ready Proud enough for you to call me arrogant Greedy enough to be labeled a thief Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man Cruel enough for me to feel no grief Never could have just a part of it I always need more to get by Getting right down to the heart of it The root of all evil has been running my whole life Dirty enough for me to lust Leaving nothing left to trust Jelous enough to still feel envious Lazy enough to sleep all day And let my life just waste away Selfish enough to make you wait for me Driven blindly by our sins Misled so easily Entirely ready to leave all behind I'm begging to break free Take all of me The desires that keep burning deep inside Cast them all away And help to give me strength to face another day I am ready Help me be what I can be VII. Remove Self-centered fear has got a hold me Clutching my throat Self righteous anger running all through me ready to explode Procrastination paralyzing me Wanting me dead These obsessions that keep haunting to me Won't leave my head Help to do for me what I can't do myself Take this fear and pain I can't break out of this prison all alone Help me break these chains Humility now my only hope Won't you take all of me Heal this dying soul I can feel my body breaking I can feel my body breaking I'm ready to let it all go I can feel my body shaking Right down to the foundation The root of it all Take all of me And the desires that keep burning deep inside Cast it all away And help to give me strength to face another day I am ready Help me be what I can be I am ready Come to me Take me away |

The Answer Lies Within
|
|
Look around Where do you belong Don't be afraid You're not the only one Don't let the day go by Don't let it end Don't let a day go by in doubt The answer lies within Life is short So learn from your mistakes And stand behind The choices that you make Face each day With both eyes open wide And try to give Don't keep it all inside Don't let the day go by Don't let it end Don't let a day go by in doubt The answer lies within You've got the future on your side You're gonna be fine now I know whatever you decide You're gonna shine Don't let the day go by Don't let it end Don't let a day go by in doubt You're ready to begin Don't let a day go by in doubt The answer lies within |

These Walls
|
|
This is so hard for me To find the words to say My thoughts are standing still Captive inside of me All emotions start to hide And nothing's getting through Watch me Fading I'm losing All my instincts Falling into darkness Tear down these walls for me Stop me from going under You are the only one who knows I'm holding back It's not too late for me To keep from sinking further I'm trying to find my way out Tear down these walls for me now So much uncertainty I don't like this feeling I'm sinking like a stone Each time I try to speak There's a voice I'm hearing And it changes everything Watch me Crawl from The wreckage Of my silence Conversation Failing Tear down these walls for me Stop me from going under You are the only one who knows I'm holding back It's not too late for me To keep from sinking further I'm trying to find my way out Tear down these walls Every time you choose to turn away Is it worth the price you pay Is there someone who will wait for you One more time One more time Watch me fading I'm losing all my instincts Falling into darkness Tear down these walls for me Stop me from going under You are the only one who knows I'm holding back It's not too late for me To keep from sinking further I'm trying to find my way out Tear down these walls for me now Tear down these walls for me It's not too late for me Tear down these walls for me |

I Walk Beside You
|
|
There's a story in your eyes I can see the hurt behind your smile For every sign I recognize Another one escapes me Let me know what plagues your mind Let me be the one to know you best Be the one to hold you up When you feel like you're sinking Tell me once again What's beneath the pain you're feeling Don't abandon me Or think you can't be saved I walk beside you Wherever you are Whatever it takes No matter how far Through all that may come And all that may go I walk beside you I walk beside you Summon up your ghosts for me Rest your tired thoughts upon my hands Step inside this sacred place When all your dreams seem broken Resonate inside this temple Let me be the one who understands Be the one to carry you When you can walk no further Tell me once again What's below the surface bleeding If you've lost your way I will take you in I walk beside you Wherever you are Whatever it takes No matter how far Through all that may come And all that may go I walk beside you I walk beside you Oh when everything is wrong Oh when hopelessness surrounds you Oh the sun will rise again The tide you swim against will carry you back home So don't give up Don't give in I walk beside you Wherever you are Whatever it takes No matter how far Though all that may come And all that may go I walk beside you I walk beside you |

Panic Attack
|
|
All wound up On the edge Terrified Sleep disturbed Restless mind Petrified Bouts of fear Permeate All I see Heightening Nervousness Threatens me I am paralyzed So afraid to die Caught off guard Warning signs Never show Tension strikes Choking me Worries grow Why do I feel so numb Is it something to do with where I come from Should this be fight or flight I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest Agitated body in distress I feel like I'm in danger Daily life is strangled by my stress A stifling surge Shooting through all my veins Extreme apprehension Suddenly I'm insane Lost all hope for redemption A grave situation desperate at best Why do I feel so numb Is it something to do with where I come from Should this be fight or flight I don't know why I'm constantly reeling Helpless hysteria A false sense of urgency Trapped in my phobia Possessed by anxiety Run Try to hide Overwhelmed by this complex delirium Helpless hysteria A false sense of urgency Trapped in my phobia Possessed by anxiety Run Try to hide Overwhelmed by this complex delirium |

Never Enough
|
|
Cut myself open wide Reach inside Help yourself To all have to give And then you help yourself again And then complain that You didn't like the way I put the knife in wrong You didn't like the way My blood spilled on your brand new floor What would you say If I walked away Would you appreciate But then it'd be too late Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways Everything is never enough Sacrifice my life Neglet my kids and wife All for you to be happy All those sleepless nights And countless fights to give you more And then you say how dare that I didn't write you back I must be too good for you I only care about myself What would you say If I walked away Would you appreciate But then it'd be too late Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways Everything is never enough |

Sacrificed Sons

|
Walls are closing Anxiously Channel surfing Frantically Burning City Smoke and fire Planes we're certain Faith inspired No clues A complete surprise Who'll be Coming home tonight Heads all turning Towards the sky Towers crumble Heroes die Who would wish this On our people And proclaim That His will be done Scriptures they heed have misled them All praise their Sacrificed sons All praise their Sacrificed sons Teach them What to think and feel Your ways So enlightening Words they preach I can't relate If God's true Love Are acts of Hate Who would wish this On our people And proclaim That His will be done Scriptures they heed have misled them All praise their Sacrificed sons All praise their Sacrificed sons God on high Our mistake Will mankind be extinct There's no time Time to waste Who serves the truth For Heaven's sake |

Octavarium

I. Someone Like Him I never wanted to become Someone like him So secure Content to live each day Just like the last I was sure I knew that This was not for me And I wanted so much more Far beyond what I could see So I swore that I'd Never be someone like him So many years have passed Since I proclaimed My independance My mission My aim And my vision So secure Content to live each day Like it's my last It's wonderful to know That I could be Something more than what I dreamed Far beyond what I could see Still I swear that I'm Missing out this time As far as I could tell Theres nothing more I need But still I ask myself Could this be everything Then all I swore That I would never be was now So suddenly The only thing I wanted To become To be someone just like him II. Medicate (Awakening) A Doctor sitting next to me He asked me how I feel Not sure I understand his questioning He says I've been away a while But thinks he has cured me From a state of catatonic sleep For 30 years Where have I been Eyes open But not getting through to me Medicate me Infiltrate me Side effects appear As my conscience slips away Medicate me Science failing Conscience fading fast Can't you stop what's happening A higher dosage he prescribes But there's no guarantee I feel it starting to take over me I tell him not to be ashamed There's no one who's to blame A second shot A brief awakening I feel the relapse Can't break free Eyes open But not getting through to me Medicate me Infiltrate me Side effects appear As my conscience slips away Medicate me Science failing Conscience fading fast Can't you stop what's happening?
