The Sleight of Hand

Take it from me, it is not easy
to try and forget everything that once pleased me
It's not that it teased me; it gave me the creeps
I don't need to see to believe a fucking thing
Take it from me
It's not what it seems
I was born, and the game of life's already unfair enough to me
I will see your face again
and I will be your only friend
and its sad that my entire world
was secure it the shadow of a girl
yeah 'cause I will see your face again
The slander suffocated me
Constricted by the sleight of hand and I need room to breathe
I'm overwhelmed by fools
its a trick on travelers and the chaste will always lose
Take it from me, it is not easy
to try and forget everything that once pleased me
It's not that it teased me; it gave me the creeps
I don't need to see to believe a fucking thing
The slander suffocated me
Constricted by the slight of hand and I need room to breathe
and I'm overwhelmed by fools
its a trick on travelers and the chaste will always lose
Why play with me?
In a game in which you cheat?
I was born, and the game of life's already unfair enough to me
I will see your face again
and I will be your only friend
and its sad that my entire world
was secure it the shadow of a girl
yeah 'cause I will see your face again

Don't Know

My innocence was raped by a tin star without a face
One last word on the subject, promise to rest my case
Don't ask me where I'm at cause I really just don't know
But one thing is for sure I shall reap what I have sewn
And why?
I really just don't know
And I
Shall reap what I have sewn
Day after day never against the grain
Working a dead end job for non-existent pay
Can't get ahead and you can't get away
So quit feeding me the lines
Get out of my face
And why?
I really just don't know
And I
Shall reap what I have sewn
Go!
Well here I am I'm wasted in the land of the lost
I have cracked beneath the pressure ignoring all your thoughts
Abandoned in the street I'm out here by myself
And the rest of you ingrates can go fuck yourselves
And why?
I really just don't know
And I
Shall reap what I have sewn

Narrow Ways
02:23

The hardest part of leaving you, was leaving you so cold
It's not a fault of mine to infer you've got it made
What's the point of salvation in love, if there is nothing to sustain
aside from what is in my mind?
It is bittersweet that I got out
My grief goes out to those who can't figure you out
and I cannot complain, for it is I who broke away
Still I sigh for those; suckers who don't know your narrow ways
The hardest part of grieving you, is the doubt in not just you;
but any virtue in this inauspicious world
and rarely do I see this place through eyes that haven't strayed from gray
Will I get this thorn from out of my side?
It is bittersweet that I got out
My grief goes out to those who can't figure you out
I cannot complain, for it is I who broke away
Still I sigh for those; suckers who don't know your narrow ways

Sheep
02:19
|

|
Forcing a grin that I truly resent
Like yesterday's late paycheck I'm already spent
Broken and useless so far from content
I think to run but can't cause I'm penned like a sheep
Statement of purpose is one thing I crave
Never out of step and never led astray
Society's expectations are shoved in my face I just
Keep standing still accepting my fate like a sheep

Telephone

Lately, it seems the more I try to hold on
Trickles through my fingers like grains of sand then it's gone
It used to come so easy, held loosely
Few and far between is as good as gone
The pain of sacrifice, the pain of regret
Is nothing compared to ripping my own heart out of my chest
It rained, it poured, washed away the foundation of what I thought was home
The pain of being alone; paradise is when you don't own a telephone
Paradise is when you don't own a telephone
Cut off from everyone you know
You say you're an extroversion, I say that you discourage me
Paradise is when you don't own a telephone
The pain of sacrifice, the pain of regret
Is nothing compared to ripping my own heart out of my chest
It rained, it poured, washed away the foundation of what I thought was home
The pain of being alone; paradise is when you don't own a telephone
Paradise is when you don't own a telephone
Cut off from everyone you know
You say you're an extroversion, I say that you discourage me
Paradise is when you don't own a telephone

Where Are We Going?
02:36

The pressures building, the temperatures rising
Things are getting hot now its your time to shine, kid
That's what they said while the cameras were flashing
Behind them life as they knew it came crashing down
So can you tell me please where are we going?
It seems like the grind is just killing us slowly
Keep pushing forward without really knowing
So can you tell me please where are we going, now?
Dreams filled with apathy, bright minds the casualties
There's nowhere left to turn let's execute the fantasy
The standard's got a hold of us, they're slowly choking us
With no room for hope I'm only dying slow but all I wanna know is
Can you tell me please where are we going?
It seems like the grind is just killing us slowly
Keep pushing forward without really knowing
So can you tell me please where are we going, now?
One more night burns away staring at the ceiling
Just a pawn in the game and it's got my mind reeling
As the days go by I don't know what it is I'm feeling
But I do know that where I'm going isn't too appealing
So can you tell me please where are we going?
It seems like the grind is just killing us slowly
Keep pushing forward without really knowing
So can you tell me please where are we going, now?

Frontline

Let me tell you a story about a mother and her son
and a war fought on native soil; it was the boy who always won
she raised him right, she raised him well, who could've known that he would grow to raise hell?
but history repeats itself and that would only go to prove that time will tell
Still dreaming
Still breathing
Still bleeding
I refuse to turn a blind eye
To a race who calls themselves highly intellectual
the only thing they've help me build are my protective walls
& that makes me so fucking guilty of it too
the lack of acknowledgement is the new golden rule
I may not be on the front line
but I've seen enough to know
that in this life, we're already suffering
there's no need to be so cold

Sorrow's Crown
04:17

My baby girl, she may have eyes,
but shes not always able to see the morning light
and although shes in a way,
there's a soul beneath I can't deny
Steeped to the lips in misery,
its not just you, its everybody, you're not the only one thats felt the rain
So, girl, come lay with me, longing for nothing, we'll wait patiently
We'll lie down the pain
Girl, don't you know that I'm completely aware,
I've seen you burned with more than flesh and blood can bare,
I've seen you cut, the most unkindest cut of all
I've stolen sorrow's crown,
love's labor is found
My baby girl, she may have ears,
but shes not always able to hear the music go
and although shes a wounded angel,
until I owe my debt to nature, I will heal; she'll never stutter to call me, "home"
Girl, don't you know that I'm completely aware,
I've seen you burned with more than flesh and blood can bare,
I've seen you cut, the most unkindest cut of all
I've stolen sorrow's crown,
love's labor is found

Escape

Artificial people in cookie cutter houses
Life here is paralyzed please get me out
This place is a wasteland with no saving grace and
The great sunny suburb's been taken by cretins
And I've
Got to escape
Got to escape
I've got to escape from
Here
Escape from here
Feel like I'm stuck in the twilight zone
No way home and no place to go
One foot on the gas and one foot on the debt
While my inspiration burns like a cigarette
And I've
Got to escape
Got to escape
I've got to escape from
Here
Escape from here
Now the frozen sun is rising on another frozen week
The days are deceased and the nights are growing bleak
No matter what I do, feel so incomplete
Cause no matter what I do I wont move off this street
And I
Got to escape
Got to escape
I've got to escape from
Here
Escape from here
