Hey little girl, where ya been? Climbing out that window again. How're those men you're always with, You can tell by the way that they persist, You tell them everything about you. But do they know, but do they know? Oh Lord tell her that she needs to get herself some help, Cause she's falling further than I could ever reach. They pick and they choose, her leash is always loose, And she's on the floor again, sighing and moaning again. Oh lord please don't let her fall. Oh little girl, in your little world, Watching your sparkling ruby eyes has got me hypnotized. Don't lie to me with those lips, There's a hidden thorn, But those hips. Oh how they sway. But I know, but I know. Oh Lord tell her that she needs to get herself some help, Cause she's falling further than I could ever reach. They pick and they choose, her leash is always loose, And they're on the floor again, sighing and moaning again. Oh lord please don't let her fall. Oh little girl, never give up do you? Try to pull him in that web again. Mystery of a girl you are, Always going on and on 'bout how you'll, Make his dreams come true. But I think he knows, I think he knows. Hush little girl, he won't be played You always make these twists and turns. But I think he's turned on you, He shoves you out the door, I think he knows. Oh Lord tell her that she needs to get herself some help, Cause she's falling further than I could ever reach. They pick and they choose, her leash is always loose, And she's on the floor again, sighing and moaning again. Oh lord please don't let her fall. 'Cause someone still loves her.

Why's it so hard to write a happy song? Why are we all, why are we all sad? Inspiration's too dark to be upbeat, What's happened to us? Gotta be dark, gotta be strong, Gotta be something you will never ever understand, Gotta frown, gotta fake a smile, Gotta strain my face until it cringes up in anger, You'll never really understand, Take a moment, Slide it all out of your ears. Happy coming out of our mouths, Happy coming into your ears, Happy, but it's too broken To be something that I can say. No you'll never know, No you'll never know, No you'll never know, Hell, even I don't know. And we think what's the place, What's the time, To drain out our hearts again? Nothing cheery, nothing that makes you laugh, What's happened to us? Gotta have rain, gotta cry, Gotta be something you will never ever understand. Gotta wish, gotta pick a bone, Gotta start a fight, and get into too much with all our hearts. You'll never really understand. Happy coming out of our mouths, Happy coming into your ears, Happy, but it's too broken To be something that I can say. No you'll never know, No you'll never know, No you'll never know, No, no, no, no, Gotta be counting the minutes, The seconds, Till I get myself another chance to smile, To be better than before, Better than a stupid kid, Gotta have faith, And believe in something I can't even see, But it controls me, And everything else in the world. Gotta be picky about the clock, Ticking my life away, Faster than I can count the seconds, Leading to my own death. My god, what the hell has happened to us? Happy coming out of our mouths, Happy coming into your ears, Happy, but it's too broken To be something that I can say. No you'll never know, No you'll never know, No you'll never know, Hell, even I don't know.

I have a plague, I have a sickness, Eternal damnation, Mortal weakness. You see my head's not right, I called but it just rang. And when I turn away, The phone it beckons me back, With someone familiar on the other side. "It's me, How ya doing? You say you need a place to stay? Well there's room at this inn, Just a place to sleep, Yea, you sound pretty tired. Come on over, Get some rest." Midnight converstations, With a lady on the line. She's talking to me, Like she really knows me. But we've barely met, Yea, I'm so confused. The phone, It's ringing again, And I think I know who's calling. "It's me, How ya doing? My girl, you say? Are you sure she's really mine? You see, I know you two are lovers, And I am really you. So tell me, does that mean she's mine?" (Solo) If I am you, and you are me, Which one of us is real? Let's let the gun decide, We put it to our head. Pull the trigger and, bang!!!!!

Keep your bullet proof vest on, It might help protect you from them. Cause right now you're naked to the whole world. Hold your sights locked down, Aim high and aim quickly, You just might make it out alive. Do you feel it all around you, the time has come. Hold yourself, close to the light, let go when it's all gone. Pocket sorrow, It's no time to waste crying. You have to be strong to face them. Take it all, don't look back for a second. Smile yourself to sleep. Do you feel it all around you, the time has come. Hold yourself, close to the light, let go when it's all gone. Everything you ever wanted, is on the path you take. And this journey, this journey starts today. (Solo) The time is now, and the feeling dissapates. You can feel yourself breathing, your concious comes in late. Not another sound you make, it all blows by too fast. And your eyes open, now you're awake.

Time flows by the window, It waves good bye-bye-bye. I watch the world around me, As the smoke puffs up into clouds. And I need another place to sleep, Need another lake to drink, Need another heart to drown, Need another friend to cry, Need another needle, Need another, hit. But really, can you blame me? I've seen so much that I hate. People are swallowing each other whole, I'll just sit back and not give a shit. (censored = hoot) And I need another king to kill, Need another to critisize, Need another breath to take, Need another life to waste, Need another needle, Need another, hit. I'm looking around and I can't believe what I see. Lying helpless on the ground and they're still ignoring me, Well I've walked these streets before, But how careless could I be? Society doesn't care, And I'm happy to leave. Cause I didn't think that I'd be OD'ing in the street, now I'm ready, take me home. I'm ready, take me home.

There's a face for every fake, But none that I've been known to take. There's a breathe for every word, But every sounds another lie. So if I'm tired of these games, Don't be ashamed you're not the only one. I'm a liar myself, Cause I don't love you anyways. It's time to say it, I don't regret it, Wish I could have, Seen it way back when Don't lament it, Head's been wrecked and I've, Finally feel, Some release. How many years has it been, Since this time has passed us by. Forever silence between A petty outcry Sorry for the waste I never thought it would turn out like this Putting it behind me Hope you've already done the same. It's time to say it, I don't regret it, Wish I could have, Seen it way back when Don't lament it, Head's been wrecked and I've, Finally found, Some release.

Lost in the desert, He's broken and bruised, Fell out of the sky, He's so confused, Nowhere to go, But he's on the run Plane's no good now, Escaping from the sun. Now he can see things that aren't there, Who's that woman never breaking her stare. Ooo~ He's found paradise. He runs to that oasis, Happy at last, Kisses that woman, It all happens so fast, They lay on the sand, He's out of his mind, But the shade is cooling, So everything's fine. He closes his eyes, And drifts asleep. His body's burning from his head his feet. Ooo~ He's lost paradise, Hours later, He's hardly awake, But he can't see, THat beautiful face, Where did she go? He starts to run, Looking for his love, Under that sun. But she's no where to be found, Those trees are now nothing but ground. Ooo~ Where's his paradise? He searches the sand, Hands bleeding onto the land. He's crying to himself, His one salvation now lost, Oh, he's dreaming of that place, Of that woman, But he comes to face reality, And the storm it hits him, blowing him away. Ooo~ He's found paradise.

Sending cryptic messages, Can you tell me what's it all about, What's it all about? I didn't come to see you cry, But I did it anyway, But I did it anyway, Cause you're the only truth. The prophet of mine, What the future will tell, I'm sure it's a steady final decline, What's this shit, It's got me down one last time, Cause we're running out of that precious thing, This moment this silence, We're running out of time. This pressure homing in, Like a missle seaking me, The heat's unbearable, Let me breathe, Please god let me breathe. Cause I know the way, I know the place, The time, the action, The face that makes it all happen. It was you. And you saved me, From faltering, I had to watch you fall, Even though it was supposed to be me. Oh lord, I can picture it all again, Cause I can see it clear, The painting's done, And I hope I can be your, hero. Resolution's coming clear, Fallen so far from grace, No you're not even laughing, No it's not that funny no, But we've gotta laugh, Keep up the act. Cause we know what the future holds, So stark and bleak, And it's raining all the time, But once in a while, The sun'll come out, And your skin will, Radiate. But you saved me, From faltering, I had to watch you fall, Even though it was supposed to be me. Oh lord, I can picture it all again, Cause I can see it clear, The painting's done, And I hope I can be your, I hope I can be your, Hero.

Didn't think main street could look so bleak, Feels like I'm crawling on my hands and knees, My god the sky is so gray. Landlocked, held down so tight, In this worn out town full of want and strife, Hell even the birds aren't flying away. But the day is Just starting to end, The day is just starting to end. Heavy clouds hanging over head, And my backpack feels like it's full of lead, And it was raining a couple of minutes ago. Well even if the path is wet, You gotta get by,it ain't no sweat, No, not a worry enough to hang your head for. But the night is just starting to come The night is just starting to come. Where have we been? Where was I looking? The sky is full of stars. And gray is now a beautiful black. Cascade, Glazed in the haze, Rain spits out of all these whispy remains, And the downpour runs all the rivers high. Shocking ain't it that the floods arise? No gates to keep the weary dry. A drowning cleanses all of our souls. But the night is just starting to come The night is just starting to come.

Hollow voices following halls, Got it written on the walls, Shooting innocents. They snicker, they laugh, they kill, Harder than ever to break their will, Because this is now a crisis. Murderous rampage, God what the hell is wrong, With youth today, In all their hearts. We didn't see it coming but, 15 lives, Now are gone. They wanted you to die, All of you who made them cry, They're insecure and only teens. Now they're dead nad on the floor, Killed themselves, now no more, And yet they blame our games. Murderous rampage, God what the hell is wrong, With youth today, In all their hearts. We didn't see it coming but, 15 lives, Now are gone.

Flailing around, Children are walking the street. Dying left and right, From gangs and thieves. All for a buck, For rep and a cigarette. While crimson stains and runs the street. I don't know, how you let the pain stick with you. I don't know, why you let it get to you. Gun toting villains with chain ridden trenchcoats are walking the street. And the news shows the victims when the blood is still knee deep. To relieve their emotions that are bottled up inside, Those same children that could have died before, Are here, and now, they have a voice, And only, one word before you close your ears. Intoxicated you smell like some kind of drug or alcohol, Been smoking coughing, wheezing mroe and more. Druggie, you addict, schitzophrenic and jumpy, When sirens blare around your corner stree. I don't know, how you let the pain stick with you. I don't know, why you let it get to you.

Bombs are falling down, It's just as real as the first time, Be ready grab your gun, Be ready to fight, Ready to revolt! Living in a world that, Stabs you in the back, But we just don't care, Cause here we are again. We are your army, Your elemental building blocks of destruction, We level the playing field, No, we level our enemies, We level the liars, We level you. Pieces are falling apart, You're puzzle's broken, 50 pick up, Like cards, But where are the jokers? They're standing and watching us scatter. But here we are again, Waiting, waiting, Waiting for what? There's no saviour, No magical force, If you want change you have to do it yourself. We are your army, Your elemental building blocks of destruction, We level the playing field, No, we level our enemies, We level the liars, We level you.
