What little faith I have in the human spirit
Seems like everybody's in it to win it
Poor brushed aside
Rich come on inside
Take a bite, eat the bread, eat the gold eat your own
Well it doesn't matter if your faceless
heartless, or just less
Well it doesn't matter if your faceless
hopeless, or just less
You're Just Less
Dirt and Filth crawls up my walls
Night falls, nobody cares so nobody calls
Trapped in my room with the locks on the inside
Scared to take another look on the outside
The ink from my pen flows quick as I hear another go down
outside my window
Take a look and there's nothing there at all
A thousand sounds I want to hear them all
Smells that I can't bear, Looks that turn to stares
And I wonder where it all came from

If You Want It
You can get it, If you really want to get it
You can try, But if you don't want to try
Then you can lie to me about where you got it from
You can steal it, if you really want it just take it
You can put it in your pocket and run
Run Run away
You made this mess and to this you must confess
That you're the one who got us into this mess
Well you can steal it, if your really want it take it
Fuckin put it in your pocket and run...
But if you get caught, it's not my fault
You can lie to me but I can see right through that disguise
And into your eyes
You've got a lame excuse
It's really no use
To try and hide the truth from me for too long anyway
You make a mess a thousand lies and when you gonna realize
That somebody will recognize all your tricks and all your lies
You wanna make it
You wanna take it
Just put it in your pocket and run run run away...

I saw you sitting there
Looking on top of the world
He was holding you like you were his
You didn't see me but,
I was there last night
His arms around you holding you tight
Now I know that you aren't mine
And I'll try...to get a little better
Maybe things can be a little better
'Cause I know that you know that things are never gonna change
Was it you or was it me, that's making me feel so fucking empty
Like the bottle I drank last night to ease the pain
Without you I'll never be the same
(chorus)
Why are you walking away?
Did I mean that little to you anyway?
Are you forgetting my name?
WIll I mean that little to you...
Eventually, anyway.

question me about my bruises
He's the one who wins and I'm the one who always loses
To all the fights and fits of anger
The marks will fade but the pain still lingers
I can play along for as long as you want
Pretend that I've never been hurt by anyone
it's easy to be where no can see me
hiding that pain so easily
he says he's been mistook
He said he wrote a new page in his book
I'd like to know if this is at all true
What would you do if it were you?
Don't you underestimate my word
You'll be hearing some things you thought wouldn't be heard
If you like I'm still carrying the proof The pain that I feel it is the truth

Where did my friends go?
They went so far away
I asked them why but they said they could not stay
But when they came back I noticed that my friends had changed
I was up so high
with my feelings but I fell back to the floor
And when I came to I noticed, that my friend's they
wanted nothing more to do with me...
Why have I gone away?
Why did I go away?

Seems like I just learned to care
I know that you will but don't you dare
Point your stare
In my direction, the inflection in your voice says
"things aren't working out"
But I've got some doubt...
Almost is a dirty word when your 17
Regret can kill you when you turn 20
Fall asleep in separate rooms
Things are changing fast but you left me too soon
To look in my direction, the inflection
In my voice says, "let's try and work it out"
But I've got some doubt
But I can't wait that long to hear what happens next
And it's been so long since I've been put to the test

Salty tears on a mostly blank page
because you chose to ignore me
Down on my luck 'cuz you didn't answer
and the letter that you mailed
It wasn't for me
I tried to write the perfect letter
I tried to sing the perfect song
But every time I opened up my mouth
It seems that those perfect words came out wrong
(chorus)
I can only make so much sense with such little time
I can only use so many words but they never rhyme
Now that I see you time and time again
It makes my heart skip and then some
Because you chose to ignore me
And the letter that you mailed it wasn't for me
I tried to make the perfect phone call
But somebody tapped my line
They took the words right out of my mouth
Why do I bother to waste my time?
(chorus)
And I tried to write her a letter
But the mailman said that she don't live here... anymore

Summer of '93.
What did you, want from me?
I'll take you out, to the show
You get to meet everyone I know.
What comes next I'll keep you guessing.
Come to see the life that you've been missing.
Chorus:
Everyone I know and
Everything I see
Everywhere I've been
It means so much
You meant so much to me.
They've made jokes, at my expense.
I'm my own worst defense.
Another night of being lost.
I'll see you at any cost.
What comes next I'll keep you guessing
Come to see the life that you've been missing
Chorus
Summer of '95,
I still don't think, that Im alive.
Sometimes I can feel so drained,
But my friends are here I can't complain.
I've underestimated again the power of the words of all my friends.
Chorus
What comes next I'll keep you guessing.
Come to see the life you've been missing.
Chorus
Chorus

I've got so many problems I can't get 'em off my mind
There's no need to argue when it happens all the time
There's so many things that I'd rather do
Then sit around and think about and get all bent over you
It happens all the time
You got me running through your mind
I got you tuning through mine
We're running at the same time
But you'll never catch me cuz I'm never in your sight
Tapping on your window just to say hello
It's the middle of the night but I just can't let you go
You're always only mind and I thought I'd just let you know
That I'm not crazy but I'm crazy for you
Running
Got you always in my mind
Running out of time while we're running at the same time
But you're never gonna catch me cuz I'm never in your sight
We're always out of time
And we're running at the same...

You never thought about the consequences it would bring
If you decided to give up yourself to everything
Situations that promise to ruin your mind
And happiness you won't find
You're digging' your own hole
And life is spinning out of control
Refuse to take the blame for situations you create
What's the root of your problem?
It's time to investigate
Polluted thoughts clog up the flow of your mind thinking straight
Leading to your own fate
When you look in the mirror who do you see?
Yourself or just a reflection of who you used to be?
Take some time before it's tomorrow
And your days are filled with sorrow
Your best days are to be had yet
You can't live a life of regret
Things are never set in stone
You can always trace your steps back home

6 o'clock in the morning...I'm sipping' a cup of black coffee
Wondering did you make it home all right
I thought about the things that you said
Although it made no difference
I tried to work it out in my head
Then I saw you there with a tear in your eye
You said it was because of that other guy
From sunrise to sunset, I thought you'd be with me
But then you gave me one chance and we'll dance one last dance
Cuz the music won't stop till it's over
6 o'clock in the afternoon
From sunrise to sunset is really soon when I can't spend it with you
Lost myself in the blink of an eye.
Don't know why I sit here and I cry over you but I do
Then you called me and told me it's over
It's over
