Glenn’s Lyrics – Staind – Break The Cycle
[ Open
Your Eyes | Pressure | Fade |
It’s Been A While | Change
Can’t
Believe | Epiphany | Suffer
| Safe Place | For You
As I
walk along these streets I see a man that walks alone Distant echo of peoples
feet He has no place to call his own A shot rings out from a roof over head A
crack head asks for change nearby An old man lies in an alleyway dead A little
girl lost just stands there and cries What would you do, if it was you Would
you take everything for granted like you do? A boy just 13 on the corner for
sale Swallows his pride for another hit Overpopulation there's no room in jail
But most of you don't give a sh@$ That your daughters are porno stars and Your
sons sell death to kids You're so lost in your little worlds Your little worlds
you'll never fix What would you do, if it was you Would you take everything for
granted like you do? You turn away As I walk along the streets Soaking up the
cold rain Underneath the taxi cabs I hear the streets cry out in vain What
would you do, if it was you Would you take everything for granted like you do?
I
just need this to be all right I can't feel this another night I can't take
this I come unglued I just need this to be alright I can't feel this another
night I can't take this I come unglued I might breakdown in front of you
necessary to medicate I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake Can't see through this
Too much pressure Drowning in this Too much pressure If you need me I'll be
here Half unconscious to escape my fear I can't take this I come unglued I
might breakdown in front of you necessary to medicate I'm not sleeping, can't
stay awake Can't see through this Too much pressure Drowning in this Too much
pressure My head hurts this sh@$ isn't getting me high My chest is so tight am
I going to die My stomach's in knots and the room starts to spin As I wait for
this valium to slowly kick in Can't see through this Too much pressure Drowning
in this Too much pressure TOO MUCH PRESSURE!
I try to breathe Memories overtaking me I try to face them but The thought is too much to conceive I only know that I can change Everything else just stays the same So now I step out of the darkness that my life became 'cause I just needed someone to talk to You were just to busy with yourself You were never there for me To express how I felt I just stuffed it down Now I'm older and I feel like I could let some of this anger fade But it seems the surface I am scratching Is the bed that I have made So where were you? When all this I was going through You never took the time To ask me just what you could do I only know that I can change Everything else just stays the same So now I step out of the darkness that my life became 'cause I just needed someone to talk to You were just to busy with yourself You were never there for me To express how I felt I just stuffed it down Now I'm older and I feel like I could let some of this anger fade But it seems the surface I am scratching Is the bed that I have made I never meant to fade... Away I NEVER MEANT TO FADE I just needed someone to talk to You were just to busy with yourself You were never there for me To express how I felt I just stuffed it down Now I'm older and I feel like I could let some of this anger fade But it seems the surface I am scratching Is the bed that I have made I try to breathe...
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you
And everything I can't remember
As f@$@ed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means
And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and f@$@ed things up just like
I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that sh@$ seems to disappear when I'm
with you
And everything I can't remember
As f@$@ed up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and f@$@ed things up again
Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!
And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candle lights your
face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you
taste
And everything I can't remember
As f@$@ed up as it all may seem to be I know
it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me
And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
If ever you had said to me before
That I would live this life that I am
Living now I guess it's all so strange
To feel the way I do inside but
Have so much that I could feel some
pride for in my life so why is it that
I feel like this
How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.
I try and try to break away from all the hate
I'm feeling for every one of you that's ever
done me wrong. I need to justify the reasons
for the way I'm living. I guess I can't 'cause
I don't feel like I deserve it
How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.
So now the waves they have subsided
And my soul is bleeding I can't take away
the shame I feel. Forgive me.
How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within me.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.
AGAIN!
Respect
Respect is what is found
Respect should be abound
Respect everything that you leave
(I can't believe)
Can't Believe
And I, I can't believe
I can't believe all the travesty
Surrounding me, I , I want to flee
I want to flee from everything
In front of me!
Can't Believe
Never again, trusted in you
F@$@ everything you think I should be
I stand, never again, never again
--
Can't Believe
Your words to me just a whisper
Your faces so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear
'Cause it’s always raining in my head
Forget all the thing's I should have said
So I speak to you in riddles because
My words get in my way. I smoke the
whole thing to my head and feel it
wash away 'cause I don't take anymore
or this, I want to come apart.
or dig myself a little hole inside
your precious heart
'Cause it’s always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said
I am nothing more than a little boy inside
That cries out for attention
though I always try to hide
'Cause I talk to you like children,
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed
'Cause it’s always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said
The more you see the more you do
The television's feeding you. With what
You want to hear, anger and fear, because you
suffer
The hate you feel won't go away you're all
programmed to
feel this way to live another day within a
world
That loves to suffer
And then I come to find everything's O.K. seen
this all
before but that was yesterday. I try to walk
right
through the messes that I've made just let me
enjoy
the life here that I've made
I've tried to give it all to you. Can't take
anymore to do
with this. It hurts inside. I know why I hide
'cause
I suffer
I tried to keep it all inside didn't leave me
too much
pride forced it all down inside forced myself
to make
me suffer
And then I come to find everything's O.K. seen
this all
before but that was yesterday. I try to walk
right
through the messes that I've made just let me
enjoy
the life here that I've made
And then I come to find
Another day
Inside my world
I'm married to
you and this road.
A road that never lets
me sleep .
So there’s no way to escape the
demons I am forced to keep.
And then I find you here
Through your eyes
Everything's clear
And I'm home
Inside your arms,
But I'm alone for now.
I mean the best
with what I say.
It doesn't always
sound that way
I never learned to
Work things out cause
In my family all we
Ever seem to do is shout
But then I find you here
Through your eyes,
everything’s clear
And I'm home
inside your arms,
but I'm alone for now.
And when I try to sleep-
the drugs I take
are killing me - I think of you
to ease my pain -
but you're so far-
Now it's time to say goodbye.
I love you baby
please don't cry -
'cause then I'll find you here -
Through your eyes everything’s clear -
and I'm home inside your arms - but I'm alone
for now.
But then I find you here
Through your eyes,
everything’s clear
And I'm home
inside your arms,
but I'm alone for now.
To my mother, to my father,
It's your son or it's your daughter,
Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me?
Should I turn this up for you?
I sit locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence gets us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere way too fast!
The silence is what kills me
I need someone here to help me
But you don't know how to listen
And let me make my decisions
'Cause I sit here locked
inside my head remembering everything you've
said
The silence gets us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere to fast!
All your insults and your curses make
me feel like I'm not a person
And I feel like I am nothing but
you made me so do something
'Cause I'm f@$@ed up because you are
Need attention, attention you couldn't give
I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence get us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere way to fast
And you
Bring me to my knees
Again
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
But I leave
My burdens at the door
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
All the times
That I felt like this won't end
Was for you
And I taste
What I could never have
It's from you
All the times
That I've tried
My intentions
Full of pride
But I waste
More time than anyone
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
All the times
That I've cried
All this wasted
It's all inside
And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend
But I feel
Tomorrow will be OK
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
Your ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
You mother came up to me
She wanted answers only she should know
Only she should know
It wasn't easy to deal
With the tears that rolled down her face
I had no answers 'cause
I didn't even know you
But these words
They can't replace
The life you...
...the life you waste
How could you paint this picture?
With life as bad as it should seem
That there were no more options for you
I can't explain how I feel
I've been there many times before
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing
down before me
But these words
They can't replace
The life you...
...the life you waste
Did Daddy not love you?
Or did he love you just too much?
Did he control you?
Did he live through you at your cost?
Did he leave no questions for you to answer on
your own?
WELL F@$@ THEM!
AND F@$@ HER!
AND F@$@ HIM!
AND F@$@ YOU!
For not having
The strength in your heart
To pull through!
I've had doubts!
I have failed!
I've f@$@ed up!
I've had plans!
Doesn't mean
I should take
My Life
With my own hands
But these words
They can't replace
The life you...
...the life you waste
But these words
The don't replace
The life you...
THE LIFE YOU WASTE
I feel like this won't go away
no matter how hard I try
to squeeze my eyes shut
so I can't see the pain
in you this pain in me - in me
But everything that I can say to you
Won't help you - everything you need is right
in front of you
Just take it
I know that I am really not here
to represent what I am not clear
About in my head sometimes
I feel f@$@ed up just like you do - like you
do
But everything that I can say to you
Won't help you - everything you need is right
in front of you
Just take it
Try to make it through the daily pain
That you feel - maybe tomorrow won't be so
bad.
It know it
'cause I once felt that way
Nothing I could say
Made it go away
I lived through this
I still feel this
I just live for my tomorrow
Make it go away
Just make it go away
She'll make it go away
