~Papercut~

Why does it feel like night today?
Something in here's not right today.
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
But I know just what it feels like
To have a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time I lie
A face that laughs every time I fall
(And watches everything)
So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin
It's like I'm paranoid lookin' over my back
It's like a whirlwind inside of my head
It's like I can't stop what I'm hearing within
It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
I know I've got a face in me
Points out all my mistakes to me
You've got a face on the inside too and
Your paranoia's probably worse
I don't know what set me off first but I know what I can't stand
Everybody acts like the fact of the matter is
I can't add up to what you can but
Everybody has a face that they hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face watches every time they lie
A face that laughs every time they fall
(And watches everything)
So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
That the face inside is watching you too
Right inside your skin
Chorus
The face inside is right beneath your skin (3x)
The sun goes down
I feel the light betray me (Repeat until end)
Chorus (Repeat until end)

~One Step Closer~

I cannot take this anymore
I'm saying everything I've said before
All these words they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Less I hear the less you'll say
But you'll find that out anyway
Just like before...
Everything you say to me
Takes me one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I need a little room to breathe
Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
And I'm about to break
I find the answers aren't so clear
Wish I could find a way to disappear
All these thoughts they make no sense
I find bliss in ignorance
Nothing seems to go away
Over and over again
Chorus
Shut up when I'm talking to you
Shut up, shut up, shut up (2x)
I'm about to break!
Chorus

~With You~

I woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the static, and put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react
Even though you're so close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back
Pre chorus:
It's true
The way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if you're not with me
I'm with you
You
Now I see
Keeping everything inside
You
Now I see
Even when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floor, the rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And I'm left in the wake of the mistake, slow to react
Even though you're close to me
You're still so distant, and I can't bring you back
Pre chorus
Chorus (2x)
No, no matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far weve come
I cant wait to see tomorrow
With you
Chorus (3x)

~Points Of Authority~

Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last
You love the way I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what youve learned)
You have to act like you're someone
(You live what youve learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what youve learned)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what youve learned)
You love the things I say I'll do
The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, my pride is broken
Chorus
Forfeit the game
Before somebody else
Takes you out of the frame
And puts your name to shame
Cover up your face
You can't run the race
The pace is too fast
You just won't last (2x)
Chorus (2x)

~Crawling~

Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling
I can't seem
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence Im convinced that theres just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure
Chorus
Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem...
To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence Im convinced that theres just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure
Chorus (Repeat until end)
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling (Whispered during chorus)

~Runaway~

Graffiti decorations
Under the sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learned were never true
Pre chorus:
Now I find myself in question
They point the finger at me again
Guilty by association
You point the finger at me again
I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind
Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Pre chorus
Chorus
Im gonna run away, and never say goodbye
Gonna run away (2x)
Im gonna run away and never wonder why
Gonna run away (2x)
Im gonna run away and open up my mind
Gonna run away (4x)
Chorus
I wanna run away and open up my mind (Repeat until end)

~By Myself~

What do I do to ignore them behind me?
Do I follow my instincts blindly?
Do I hide my pride from these bad dreams
And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
Do I sit here and try to stand it?
Or do I try to catch them red-handed?
Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness,
Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
Because I can't hold on when I'm stretched so thin
I make the right moves but I'm lost within
I put on my daily faade but then
I just end up getting hurt again
By myself (Myself)
Pre chorus:
I ask why, but in my mind
I find I can't rely on myself
I can't hold on
To what I want when I'm stretched so thin
It's all too much to take in
I can't hold on
To anything watching everything spin
With thoughts of failure sinking in
If I turn my back I'm defenseless
And to go blindly seems senseless
If I hide my pride and let it all go on
Then they'll take from me 'till everything is gone
If I let them go I'll be outdone
But if I try to catch them I'll be outrun
If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
(By myself)
Pre chorus
Chorus
How do you think I've lost so much
I'm so afraid, I'm out of touch
How do you expect I will know what to do
When all I know is what you tell me to
Don't you know
I can't tell you how to make it go
No matter what I do, how hard I try
I can't seem to convince myself why
I'm stuck on the outside
Chorus (2x)

~In The End~

It starts with one thing
I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
One thing, I don't know why
It doesnt even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind
I designed this rhyme, to explain in due time
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised it got so (far)
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me (in the end)
You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I
Chorus
Ive put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know (2x) Chorus

~A Place For My Head~

I watch how the moon sits in the sky
On a dark night shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give light to the moon
Assuming the moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do favors and then rapidly
You just turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
Pre chorus:
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head
Maybe someday I'll be just like you, and
Step on people like you do and
Run away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm, used to be strong
Used to be generous, but you should've known
That you'd wear out your welcome
Now you see how quiet it is, all alone
Pre chorus (2x)
Chorus
You try to take the best of me
Go away (8x)
Chorus
Pre chorus (2x)

~Forgotten~

From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care (2x)
There's a place so dark you can't see the end
(Skies cock back) and shock that which can't defend
The rain then sends dripping acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut looking thought the rust and rotten dust
A spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and its dark again
Chorus
Bridge:
In the memory you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
Moving all around
Screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go round and the sunset creeps past the
Street lamps, chain-link, and concrete
A little piece of paper with a picture drawn
Floats on down the street till the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture was then
When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again
Chorus
Bridge
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you (7x)
Bridge (2x)
Pushing Me Away
I've lied to you
The same way that I always do
This is the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
Pre chorus:
(Everything falls apart, even the people who never frown eventually break down)
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
(Everything has to end, you'll soon find we're out of time left to watch it all unwind)
The sacrifice is never knowing
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
I've tried like you
To do everything you wanted too
This is the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
Pre chorus
Chorus (2x)
Were all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
Were all out of time, this is how we find how it all unwinds
The sacrifice is never knowing
Chorus (2x)
Pushes me away(2x)

Lot's more 2 come...so stay in touch

***OuR LaDY PeaCe*** ~CLuMSY~


~Superman's Dead~

Do you worry that you're not liked/
How long till you break/
Happy cause you smile/
But how much can you fake?
An ordinary boy, an ordinary name/
But ordinary's just not good enough today/
Alone I'm thinking/
Why is superman dead/
Is it in my head/
We'll just laugh instead/
You worry about the weather and/
Whether or not you should hate/
Are you worried about your faith/
Kneel down and obey/
You're happy you're in love/
You need someone to hate/
An ordinary girl, and ordinary waist/
But ordinary's just not good enough today/
Doesn't anyone know that the world's a subway/


~Automatic Flowers~

And Sara thinks she's died here before/
She's crazy/
A pop-up book of flowers/
From grade four/
Are driving her insane/
No one knows why/
She's sad tonight/
No one can help her fight/
Crying, she couldn't afford/
The view/
Crying, these automatic flowers won't/
Do/
Another brick/
Another window frames the confusion/
Her garden blooms but Sara can't see straight/
She's drinking herself blind/

~Carnival~

You know you're not a strong man/
And you're just about to cry/
Hang on, it's alright/
You worry about the future/
The sign says "yoga class for cats"/
It's okay/
The dynamite is waiting/
They bankrupted the sky/
You're frustrated by the cracks in/
The pavement/
And every mother's back.../
Once again/
The Carnival closed down/
but if this world ever turns around/
You'll be there when everybody is sane/

~Big Dumb Rocket~

I've never seen your breath before/
But I'm disgusted by the though of/
Waiting anymore/
If I look up in your eyes/
Will you notice me or notice it or/
Fade into this accident/
I don't want to find/
The big dumb rocket on your mind/
It's mostly you, it's mostly me/
And a tired gun, that's not empty/
I've never been sad before/
But I'm disgusted by my fingertips/
And what they've done/
If I look into your eyes/
If it must be true you must believe/
I've never held such violent things/
I've never talked to god before/
But I'm disgusted by.../

~4AM~

I walked around my good intentions/
And found that there were none/
I blame my father for the wasted years/
We hardly talked/
I never thought I would forget this hate/
Then a phone call made me realize/
I'm wrong/
If I don't make it known that/
I've loved you all along/
Just like sunny days that/
We ignore because/
We're all dumb and jaded/
And I hope to god I figure out/
What's wrong/
I walked around my room/
Not thinking/
Just sinkning in this box/
I blame myself for being too much/
like somebody else/
I never thought I would just/
Bend this way/

~Shaking~

So you fucked this up again/
It's time for you to leave/
You never had many friends/
And you though this was alright/
You're rushing to meditate/
You should eat but probably wait/
You never thought of yourself/
Why are you shaking/
Why are you right/
When I will be the only one who gives/
And lets you in tonight/
Walk you could never walk away/
From this speedfreak collagen/
Caffeinated place/
You were always reaching in/
Looking for somewhere to go/
Nobody needs to find out/
Nobody needs to know what you know/
So you wonder about the past/
When you know that it's already been/
Nothing seems to last/
Can it last will it last/

~Clumsy~

Throw away the radio suitcase/
That keeps you awake/
Hide the telephone in case you wake/
Realize that sometimes you're just not okay/
You level off but it's not alright now/
You need to understand/
There's nothing strange about this/
You need to know your friends/
I'll be waving my hand, watching you drown/
Watching you scream/
Quiet or loud/
Maybe you should sleep/
Maybe you just need a friend/
As clumsy as you've been/
There's no one laughing/
You will be safe in here/
Throw away this very old shoelace/
That tripped you again/
Try and shrug it off/
It's only skin now/
You need to understand/
There's nothing fake about this/
You need to let me in/
I'm watching you/

~Hello Oskar~

Over there, well he's wandering/
Is Oskar there, it Oskar alright/
Was never cool, not allowed to fit/
He never knew what he liked/
Over there he's the rubberman/
A rubber dress with betty page eyes/
Was never cool, he'll never settle down/
He's not allowed to drive/
He'll build a bridge then walk around/
Don't ever call him dumb/
He's not that bright/
He's just not himself/
I will take you somewhere/
Somewhere to unwind/
You're tangled up in all this shit/
I will make you mine/
Over there he's a superstar/
A taximan and a young eisenstein/

~Let You Down~

Hey what do you see/
It's not me, not me/
Why won't you share/
It's not fair/
There's a bicycle show/
Where the bicycles float/
And I wouldn't of cared/
I won't be the one who bothers you/
I won't be the one who lets you down/
Now that you're there/
You're not scared/
Why would you care/
It's your dream/
Not theirs/
There's a cigarette theif/
Stealing cigarette disease/
I wish I was there/

~The Story of 100 Aisles~

Help yourself/
If you know why you came/
Cause if you need help she says.../
There's something I've got saved/
This is not what you wanted/
These candy-coated fakes/
This is not what you wanted, this is pain/
Anacin we're stumbling again/
It's the story of 100 aisles/
Walk away from simple on a tray/
Cause if you need help she says/
These fancy pills don't rate/
This is not what you wanted/
A miracle today/
Time is not for sale today/
Time seems so far away/
You need more than this/
Depressed come here try this/

~Car Crash~

Tired and jaded/
This road is unsafe/
Have you been there/
But time is on your side/
You're too stubborn to wait/
Are you listening/
They want you to know/
They want you to stay/
But it's too much to take/
So you're running away/
It's more than I can bear/
Car crash/
Ending your day/
At the side of the road/
Are you trembling/
They'll wake up today/
To the papers that say/
"Oh well" it was too hard to tell/
He was swerving they were swerving/
Much too late/

***OuR LaDY PeaCe*** ~Happiness... Is Not A Fish That You Can Catch~


~One Man Army~
Take these plastic people
Read their lips, now let it linger
Is there anything that makes them sound sincere?
Tightly hold your hand
Take a deep breath, give them the finger
Are you worried
That your thoughts are not quite clear?
(Twitch)
Overlooked, unfit appearance
I remember falling
I remember marching
Like a one man army
Through the blaze
I remember coughing
I believe in something
I dont want to remember falling
For their lies
Unbutton your clothes
Undress your soul, show them your vigor
Are those inhibitions easiest to fear?
Take this gasoline tin
Head up high , walk like a winner
Let the bare feet be the last sound that they hear

~Happiness & The Fish~

I confess
Everyone is overweight
And I'm obsessed
Talking is just masturbating
Without the mess
Addiction leaves you sad today
& unimpressed
I can't remember all the names because
Everyone you meet today
Is just so fucking vain
Bored again by happiness
All those friends I've (die) lost in there
I'm upset
Happiness is not a fish
That you can catch
Imagination can't resist
This laziness
That pins you down, get on your knees
Everyone you meet today
Is feeling useless & ashamed

~Potato Girl~

We live, we die
I don't know the reasons we ask why
We hate, we push
Recent tests show we are all misunderstood
Something's seizing
You know you lost your mind
You know we all need saving
She found you late last night
You feel the madness gaining
You know you just can't win
You know this
But I'm just so tired of waking up on the ground
I never knew the girl
And I never knew the world hurt
We beg, we pray
But everything still happens anyway
Something's teasing
Your conscience can't decide
She stopped your will from caving
But left you paranoid
You feel the constant straining
She reappears divine
You noticed
But I'm just so tired of waking up all alone

~Blister~

Lately I can't breathe
Waiting they're chasing me
No one listens but I'm OK with it
Only I wonder why
If only my hands weren't tied
The world's a blister
But I'm OK with it
What if I was there
What if I was scared
I'm waiting for...
They're at my door
But I'll be back again
Lonely, I'm wandering
Patrolling for enemies
No one listens but I'm ok with it

~Is Anybody Home?~

Goodbye, the future's sold out
There's no use screaming
Who thought we'd ever get this far
Tonight, your faith has come down
To money & a TV
Psychics who've never been to mars
And nazis breast feeding
I know you must be upset
I can't find meaning
I'm sorry, we're sorry
We're all scared, all scared
Hey is anybody home
Has anybody wasted tears on the loneliness
That everyone becomes
Goodnight, the truth has come out
Everyone's needy
White teeth, a ticket to meet god
Be all that you envy
The shotgun under your bed has
Started breathing
You shot it, you shot it
I'm bare, I'm bare
Hey, is anybody home
Has anybody painted fear
On the bedroom walls that save us from...

~Waited~

Hit the ground
Weighed down again
You walked out
But I'm sure you're my friend
It must have been good
This can't be for good
Everyone's....
Is everyone OK
I waited
But I must be too dumb to be proud
Because I waited, I waited
Woke to sounds
I prayed you were there
I fell back down
But I'm sure you still care

~Thief~

I don't want to understand this horror
There's a weight in your eyes that I can't admit
Everybody ends up here in bottles
But the name tags the last thing that you wanted
As the world explodes we fall out of it
But we can't let go because this
Will not go away
There's a house built out in space...
I can't see that thief that lives inside of your head
But I can be some courage at the side of your bed
I don't know what's happening and I won't pretend
But I can be your....
Someone help us understand who ordered
This disgusting arrangement with time and the end
I don't want to hear who walked on water
Because the hallways are empty and the clock ticks

~Lying Awake~

I'm here to wear you out
I'm here to watch you hide
Nothing to figure out
I'm here to watch you die
Running away from the breast of
Your busy giant healing machine
Nobody left in line
No-one to make you shine
Hanging on to the backs of opinions
You've borrowed & betrayed
Lying awake
Don't ask why you should pay for this
A mother
Another
A shameless abusing
But this time we're saving you
I'm here to break you down
I'm here to bury time
Nothing to talk about
Nothing to change my mind

~Annie~

You're a little bit shy
A little too quiet
You're the mixed up girl
That everybody leaves behind
A little bit weird
A little too bright
But you just might be
That little bomb at their side
They'll pull your hair
They'll leave you wide-eyed
But did anybody wonder
What Annie might have in mind
Oh, no
There's something in the way she explains to me
"Please be careful, i exist in someone else's head"
Oh, no
There's something in the way that she makes
believe
Please be careful,
Annie dreams that everyone is dead
You're a little bit dry
A little uptight
You're the messed up girl
That every body tries to hide
You've had enough
They're too unkind
But did anyone consider
What Annie might have in mind
Oh, no...

~Consequence Of Laughing~

Take all your pills and divide them
By color & size
Take all your problems and advise them
That everything's fine
Since you ran away you've been beating
Your habits to death
But if you were to stay would you feed them
This white happiness
Nobody wants to harm you
When you're outside
But it's hard to believe
When everyone's killing time
Somebody knows
That you're not laughing
Take all your pills and divide them
By number and might
Take all your problems chastise them
Because everything's fine
Since you've ran away you've been beating
Those ladders instead
But if you were to stay would you feed them
With violence

~Stealing Babies~
(Featuring Elvin Jones)

I'm teething on the answers you're saving
How are you going to make me understand
I'm dreaming while your stealing babies
How are you going to help me sleep again
How should I say "I'm so sorry"
How should I pray to know that we're alive
Eve stands alone
By the knock on the door
By the thin in her bones
She's courageous & loving
Exhausted & cold
She's not ready to go
But the ghost on the phone
Helps her safely into her dream
You're leaving pieces of family
How are you going to help them understand
I'm screaming while you're stealing babies
Why do you want to knock us down again
