tactless 01:54
helpless, would you let it go? aren't you satisfied, giving in to the status quo, surrendered to the night, going with the flow? if you don't feel right i wanted you to know i feel the same way. tactless. tattered clothes, dirty in your sight. can't we just go home? don't care who's wrong or right. i'm tired of the road. i want to see the light. lead me where to go, the same, the same place.

question 02:05
i have a question i don't want an answer for. i have a debt to pay i don't have credit for. i have a paradox and i can't live my life. what did you suffer for, so i can live a lie? look in my eyes, this cover is a thin disguise when i die, will i be something you despise? i have a problem and i can't make sense of it. i've made a mistake that i don't know how to fix. you are a paradox that brings me back to life. you are the part of me that's never gonna die look in my eyes, this cover is a thin disguise when i die, will i be something you despise?

people 04:12
people, so openly profane. pious pride and shame. hypocrisy is paid with fame. it's always been the same. (and they said join the cult or go insane) you could save me from myself or save me from breaking down. i swear i'm stupid can't you tell? i thought i was profound. you could save me from being used. i'm tired of this game. all i wanted was the truth, i didn't ask for pain. people, hey, have you heard enough? all you need is love; one word we've lost the meaning of. won't you call my bluff? start by giving up. you could save me from myself or save me from breaking down. i swear i'm stupid, can't you tell? i tried to be profound. you could save me from being used. i'm tired of this game. all i wanted was the truth, i never asked for pain.

could you give me something i could never ask for? could you tell me something i have never heard? could you show me something i could know for certain? could you give me something sacred, something pure? this isn't right, where am i going? oh please, help me, help me could you show me something greater than its equal? could you prove to me that everything is more? could you show me that the sum is more than zero? and if you have it all you'll lose yourself for sure.. this isn't right, what am i doing? there is no time, no choice in choosing. give me a light, what am i losing? oh please, help me, help me

i need more than a song tonight. i need a new way to live and die, a hope to push me through. i need a motive, i need a sign. i need a hunger to satisfy and something to look forward to.. a love to hold on to i've waited all my life for something worth clinging to, for something worth the fight. i need more than a cigarette. i need more than sex, sex, sex, the same old nothing new. i need more than the flashing lights, bitter hearts and haughty eyes with nothing left to lose. i hope you wake up soon. i've waited all my life for something worth clinging to, for something worth the fight, worth being addicted to. if love is sacrifice, i'd give the whole world to you for something worth the fight.

with apologies and policies we try to mend what we have made, to keep alive. our deadliest assumptions crystallize, for we built these cityscapes on ice. now i've made my way to solid ground, and i am but a stranger in this town. i don't see why i should stick around. they'll crucify me upside-down. but how seldom does a man lay down his life? how selfish is the need to satisfy? you'll never truly live until you die, so let your heart belong to Christ. there's no reason that you should be unsure, don't you see this place is so absurd? and hell is just a place where people burn their future to keep the present warm. i am a speck, you are a treasure. i'm dying just to be something that's of use.
7.
i have no will. my will is good. i can't sit still. i cannot move. if i live, i'll surely die. such is the gift you can't decline. you share my eyes, you see it. my mistakes, my demons. with you there's no secrets. you made my life, so keep it.

amanda todd 04:16
she killed herself for fame. drank a gallon of bleach so you would say her name. oh, what a shame society causes so much pain. got my ego on display. give me compliments so i can feel okay. mold me like clay. rip me apart. put me to shame. never knew happiness until i knew pain. i look for life in others but it's all the same. an hourglass looking for sand, it's plain, cause living is the hardest game. and it's up to you. but only god knows what to do. take a walk in her shoes. you can't handle the knowledge, sing the blues. oh what is the use? it's all been done before you knew. we get to get to choose. but i've lived this life a thousand times. i don't have to listen to the lies and although i struggle i still try. regardless, i am still alive. this body's a prison and i can't hide staying up all night with the light on, i'm part of the problem.

seldom 02:32
simple secrets spoken softly set me sailing slowly. sloppy slips in judgement leave me coughing, sucking up six cups of coffee. stories told sell suppers, sock me. set me off, no way to stop me. sickened souls stick sex on songs and sets of walls lining the highways. advertising leaves me scoffing, sleeping, searching for a copy. worn and sad and sucked of sap, silly souls run rampant, off beat. the biggest drum, the rhythm's set so play along and don't quit on me. seldom does the sinner get rewarded for the things he can't be.

young blood 04:53
you tied your noose around your arm this time in hopes for something new you can't find in this life. you thought about the truth you traded for a lie. what else can you do but give up being right? love you sister. you i love, young blood. love you, sinner. you i love, love jesus you lost your mind again. your brain fried liver swells. you tried to get ahead in the race you run to hell. so what is the problem here? what can make you tell? break the wall of fear. i hope you're doing well.
12.
string me along, tie me a noose. sing me a song and cut yourself loose. american dreams of white picket fences surrounded by screens to stimulate senses. bury the prophet who rings on the bell, clogging the profits by talking of hell. the price of a soul is getting more cheap, the glamour and gold is a kiss on the cheek. paper and plastic and chemicals, do you want something that's falling apart? you'll believe the lie if you listen too much, the world is a vacuum that sucks up your love. don't let it consume you, stand and be strong, cause God is the answer you knew all along, so question yourself if you think you are smart and ask yourself why there's a beat in your heart.
