you tear me apart. can you feel this? try to forget you some days. end this thought provoking innocence. we learn to cherish great things. then this world softly ends. ending softly... can you feel this?

i fall from the air that you breath. no longer flying. arrows from the mind and the eyes, aimed straight for my heart. others stay strong with the will. my wounds might heal. it's gripping and pulling my life away. run from their way. life is living, it should begin. or am i just living? my future self only they can see. my future life, will it belong to me? scar on my heart itches for life. patience and conformity come unto me. gripping, pulling my life away. run from their way. life is living, it should begin. or am i just living? others that stayed strong with their will. praying the eyes will not see them. there is no grip, but definitely pull. is it they that are just living?

it's not like the world will fall if you try to take the weight from my hand. you can't take the wait, you can't take the weight of my world. you could condemn us all if you try to take the weight from my head. you cant' take the wait, you can't take the weight of my... my solitary wall. if you try to look behind these eyes. does this sound the same? raining, the sound is like water. i'll bend my knees to fall, to pray, to save. (if you bend me enough i'll break it down.) i'll bend my knees to fall, to pray, to save. (just about enough to water down.) there's nothing i can convince you of, if you try to look inside and i need to tell you what's right, it feels like i'm falling, falling for not.

i sit here and stare, wondering where you went wrong. one look at us would make you think - nature or nurture? dear mother you treated us so fairly. i can barely remember events that took place, so how the hell can he? there's no question here. there's no finger to point your way. hey mother, he and i used to be one in the same. now he's a stranger with black and bottomless eyes. he'll grow up one day, this i promise.

this filter is blinding me. this filter, can't you see? for endless days, my mind had walked, drowned in mystery. farther, for father, where were you? i awoke and walked, walked so far!

the three of us are pages of a rough draft, and bound by staples. three chapters, unfinished. three chapters, and bound by staples. there is no white-out here to go over mistakes. just take and learn from them. no grade is taken for you to compare. why not think about it? mind this night. the night is long, daybreak comes and keeps us in shelter. mind this life. the night is long, daybreak comes and keeps us together.

unhappiness; it's my shadow. always with me; constant companion. you don't recognize your putancy. just let it go, just walk away. you don't realize all the pain you keep inside. just let it go. invisible chain wrapped around my waist. pulling me here to there, it makes you happy. want to be what you want me to be. i don't see me. is there much of me anyway? i'm not like them, therefore i don't like them. looks like it's just me and my shadow.

page... unending. uncontained... unassociate. amazed... day by day. throw all away... day by day. when morning comes he invites the sun, disturbing dreams, and thoughts are shaken. page... uncontained.

i'm finished here. i've driven miles just to end where i started. i'll take it from here. i'm your friend when you need one; a foe when you want one. no more; i've opened and closed my doors for the last time. one day i woke up and found myself getting older... getting wiser. one day i woke up and found i had no time for these games.

it's another long day to see my name, if you believe things will be the same. it's another long way to see my name, if you believe things will be the same... if you believe. this room can change your life forever if you want me, that's when i fall down. if you need me, turn this room around. this room can change your life, provided it has the essentials it only stands to reason, i've been this way before and if i had one reason, i would bring you through that door but i would only give myself up by breaking down these walls so in this room on bended knee i fall...

i've tried...(fight fire)...i've tried to let go! wife beating...(with fire)...was always your m.o. i've been there...(fight fire)...at night when she cried. crawled up in bed...(with fire)...to lay by her side. now you want to forget it. feel like you're fallin'. slippin' down, grab a hand. try not to let you come in, lock you out and still you find a way. same as you are, same as you were. i've got a funny feeling. try not to let you come in, lock you out and still you..... same as you are, same as you were. now my tears are dried away!

hold your eyes to the skies, forget about your lives. i'm off to one side. take my hand, lead me on, die to run too far! all that's left of your mission. they didn't recieve your transmission. fall off to one side, take my beating. take my hand, lead me on, to your richt, tonight. take my hand, lead me on, and they won't bring it back to fight! (2nd Movement : Where's My Life?)

a question comes to me, softly. a burning inside. you know i need your heart. don't turn your back on me. my eyes, you blind, forever. your mind is wrong. a shattered world we had. i lost myself in you. makes me cry!

you are standing all alone. i can't even help myself. you will not go away. i am standing all alone. i can't even help myself. you will not go away.

my father, how long has it been? i promise, i'll call tomorrow. i can't remember shit; why bother? all those years, it's just way too late to turn back. it's just make believe, all those years wasted, all those years! it's not fair, behind those eyes you're still there. i'm waiting, you're waiting, for our day. it's not right! this is not the time it was supposed to end. and you said...you said...you said...

condemnation comes from yourself. it won't work if you don't believe! let down your guard, let loose yourself! you're on your own, and i can't find you there. find you all alone. with your crooked smile, condescending eyes. i'm naked to your throws. don't say you're blind (let loose yourself)! i know you lie! put me down to spite (let loose yourself)! don't say you're fine (let loose yourself)! i know you lie! don't say you're fine (let loose yourself)!

it's over, second day you're gone. you come over, find me all alone. why'd you go? you know i will find you. i'm coming, wide open. you look for me. you won't see my... you are so far away and i'm far away. you know i will find you. stand in an open doorway, and you don't know i'm there. stand over your bed, sleepin' and awaken to your violent stare. i can feel your eyes rape me...feel your eyes...that's your eyes! you take your life, you want mine. think i'm blind...think i... this is the last goodbye!
