Right Behind You

you haven't seen the
world outside for
days you sleep you hope
you wait
imagination
disappears
and all the dreams you have
you save
confrontation
like a mirror
they try to take
your mind
away
i don't know but
i believe in yesterday
and what it means
to bleed
and know that
you're okay
no matter what you do,
no matter what you say
i'm always right there
behind you
bombarded by the
atmosphere you breathe
you choke you breathe again
conversation
disappears you
realize they're
not all
your
friends
the panice of the future
rears you die you jerk
you find another way

In Repair

well it's good to know that you'll be okay
i've been waiting for this and i'll be there
to sit while you pray no one's blaming me i'm not
supposed to wait when they open up your
heart i have been good i understood
like a machine they'll fix you from
the start i'm in repair the life that
we share i know that i'll be lost
but we're always in repair and it's
good to know that you'll drive away
from this carcrash nightmare and
i'll be there to help you again there's
no danger we're just killing time
again until they order
up new parts

Life

how many times have
you been pushed around is anybody
there, does anybody care how many times
have your friends let you down is anybody there, did
anybody stare how many times has your faith slipped away
is everybody high, is everyone afraid how many times have you wished
you were strong have they ever seen your heart have they
ever seen your pain life is waiting for you it's all messed up
life is waiting for you it's all messed up but we'll survive

Middle of Yesterday

oh, well i woke up in hell today
i woke up depressed and drained
but that's ok 'cause i promised
not to hurt you again and
apparently i'm to blame but
apparently i've been framed
by a memory that won't help
me when it's happening out
of the mind sould light control
standing in the middle of yesterday
where it all went wrong where we
made mistakes i'm sorry for the
things i forgot to say but it won't
be long until it will be okay
well i promised you i would change
but i'm an asshole and i'm ashamed
i'm upset 'cause i betrayed everything
that you gave will you ever let me
explain can i beg you to let me stay
don't quit me 'cause i'll
never let this happen... again

Are You Sad?

your life has seemed so hard it's been dried up
angels that can't keep guard i'm trying to
reach your hand but i'm on fire i never planned
to fade away, stay with me stop pretending
when they say that you're nothing
are you sad are you holding yourself
you shouldn't be are you sad are you
locked in your room
you shouldn't be
i'm drowning inside your head help me
to answer help understand but it's
been so long since we talked like
friends, please forgive
me i'm jsut a man
whose made
mistakes

Made To Heal

i agve up on you
and your exersize
and the world that i
knew i fell back on you
because i need more time
and i need an excuse
you're a theif a liar
an angel caught on fire
a king a drug
the push that comes to shove
a freak a star
i am everything you are
i'm your jesus i'm your pride
we're made to heal
i depend on you
for the wings of life
and the air that you move
i defended you
for this one last time
and the nerves you abuse
we're made to heal

Everyone's A Junkie

i'm not waiting for the answers
ona sunday afternoon i'm just
too drunk to remember why i
always slip through
the drugs and fake ambition have been
helping me to hide but it's the
endless television that has kept me
inside where does it stop where
does it end where do we go
why am i always complaining i can
be good i can be bad i can be loved
everything's gone black you're looking for that sun you're looking
for that light you're not
the only
one to feel
that way
i'm not looking
for forgiveness
for the things
that i don't know
i'm really not that
different you just
made me
think so

All My Friends

all my friends alone on a hill they're
just looking down with violent minds out
on loan they're jsut not equipped
insistence we hope for the best we're
not making sense in silence wait
for the day when you're better than
in this silence i'm not buying but you're
not faking i'm not i guess we better hold
on again 'cause this time we won't
understand again i'm not alone on a hill
their mechanical thoughts have left
them out on their own, they're not
buying this

If You Believe

so you made up your mind
you tired of trying time to be scared you wanted to fly
but you can't close your eyes time to beware if you believe in the
world i'm calling if you believe in the world i saw if you believe in the
world i'm calling you'de be strong so you wasted your time
you willed it goodbye time to be scared you thought you could buy
your last peice of mind time to beware

The Wonderful Future

she builds her own satellite from an old rusted chair
she leaves this whole world behind and the things that she cares
maybe she's gone but it won't be for long
what do i know? maybe she's found
what we all dream about
she's beautiful and wonderful
i can't compare
it's wonderful it's not that fair
she builds a strong
alibi from the future
that's here
she needs to know i'm alive
and that i'm flesh and i tear
she's beautiful
