Your due date is up Don't make comments on irrelevant subjects Don't make comments on irrelevant subjects There is a man who seeks his own happiness There is a man who seeks his own happiness There is a man who seeks his own happiness Who seeks happiness And his smile is warmer than five of yours And his smile is warmer than five of yours You keep all singing to a tasteless song You keep all singing to a tasteless song He whistles to a song of hope Whistles to a song of... He whistles to a song of hope Whistles to a song of hope He whistles to a song of hope He whistles to a song of hope A night of foolish chatter A night of foolish chatter A night of foolish chatter Is easily replaced by a couple bold statements Couple statements Few words so cold and meaningless Wake up Put your heart where your mouth is Wake up Put your heart where your mouth is Wake up, wake up Put your heart where your mouth is Wake up, wake up Put your heart where your mouth... Living is offensive Living, living is offensive in itself, in itself Your shallow ideals are about as useless As the gnats in my eyes Your shallow ideals are about as useless As the gnats in my eyes, in my eyes Wake up Put your heart where your mouth is

Just take it in stride One breath and I think I feel free All we can do is strive for the best thoughts The best feelings, the "warm fuzzy" feeling As a child, I believed these all came to me Due to the process of living The process of living The process of The process of living The process of The process of living The process of The process of living The process of Grab the wheel right now, and make this life yours Grab the wheel right now, and make this life yours Grab the wheel right now, and make this life yours Grab the wheel right now, and make this life yours Walk with me Leave your disgusting fever Take this life - make it yours Take this life - make it yours Take this life - make it yours Take this life - make it yours Forgotten are the days of wandering pointlessly in my dreams Carry me with your wings Carry me with your wings Carry me with your wings Carry me with your wings

Some kind of friction has scarred me But created your new style My reasons to endure used to be Based around who you were And your brilliant passion that could blaze Right in front of a perfect stranger This is my downfall, my blemish This is my downfall, my blemish I've been told This is my downfall, my blemish I've been told before Quit holding on to what she was She doesn't recognize you Or herself anymore She's stuck in the process Of embracing what crumbles And when it happens And when it happens And when it happens And when it happens There will be no apologies There will be no apologies She chose to collapse what held her And if not cautious (she chose) there may never be A cradle to soften her descent like clouds New shapes are taken, but they're not always actual They're never tangible, never tangible, never tangible It's so brutal to see someone Give it all up for nothing And having no power to stop them To stop them, to stop them, to stop them Having no power to stop them Having no power to stop them And having no power to stop them To stop them To stop them To stop them To stop them Having no power to stop them And having no power to stop them To stop them For nothing, for nothing For nothing, for nothing For nothing, for nothing For nothing, for nothing

Soft memories of a life well lived I'm thinking back and loving every moment I had I'm thinking back This dull feeling is working through me, and every waking moment is more static Is more static Is more static As I step onto my porch of reflection As I step onto my porch of reflection A brief wind of warmth is swept through me As I step onto my porch of reflection As I step onto my porch of reflection Reflection Reflection A brief wind of warmth is swept through me A brief wind of warmth is swept through me Choke We succeed (We suceed) In order (In order) To bring forth order in our lives Come on You have all felt it - the emptiness of being alone Zoloft will not cure it Zoloft will not cure it Zoloft will not cure it Will not cure it Human touch will not solve it This black, cold world is potent Please bless the children, please heal their cries Oh, please bless the children A sweet sound is heard in my waking life Tremors of anguish ripple through visions and dreams Cries heal a starving nation facing death and destruction Facing death and destruction

Do I dare question it? This world is ending with Countless years of false doubting Let's get up and arise Speculation Your dreams are long gone Speculation Your dreams are long gone Now you told me to never hold back mercy So, this is now evolving into your own interpretation Let's just Let's just call this fair play Let's just call this fair play Let's just call this fair play Slice them off, and restore the foundation We are always too quick to point the finger We must begin the downfall of their branches We are always too quick We are always too quick to point the finger On our closest companions Fly away into a dream full of hope Soar above the branches The branches Yeah Rise above the hill Now soar above Into the brances Now soar above Into the faraway stars Now soar above Into the faraway stars Now soar above Into the faraway stars

A front seat to your own flick, flick If only you could see how much your emotions waver Words are flowing from your mouth at lightning speed They're packing heat And are ready to kill And are ready to kill And are ready to kill And are ready to kill Cry, frown, hit, yell Cry, frown, hit, yell Let's watch where it takes you You really don't have it that bad You really don't have it that bad You really don't have it that bad Try looking through the glass of beauty It will show you the truth We are all guilty of self-centeredness We have committed the crime We have committed the crime But what we fail to realize is the dent it leaves in our soul But what we fail to realize is the dent it leaves in our soul But what we fail to realize is the dent it Everyone is full of it Everyone is full of it, in their own way Everyone is full of it, in their own way, in their own way A young boy cannot comprehend social status, social status And this boy is better off than any of us, any of us Life will pass us by like a summer storm And if we consume We consume ourselves with ourselves We will surely look back with sorrow Sorrow, sorrow Sorrow, sorrow

Don't you understand me? Don't you understand me? This cloud over My head is not okay It's not okay There are things That I need to get done Need to get done There are things That I need to get done Need to get done And it doesn't give you permission To take a shot below the belt... What a bittersweet symphony life is But I wouldn't have it any other way We have so little time Let's not spend it in anger in anger And I am I am in the deep end And I can't find air,I can't find air I am throwing punches, with a blindfold on I am throwing punches, with a blindfold on I am throwing punches, with a blindfold on I am throwing punches, with a blindfold on Stop riding my tail With your high beams on Because I may just brake suddenly I may just brake suddenly I may just brake suddenly I might just brake I would rather not explode - That's your job I'm stuck in between two worlds... In a maze of dreams and thoughts What a bittersweet symphony life is But I wouldn't have it any other way Have it any other way

I can no longer tell the days from the nights The moon glows an eerie red and I could swear it was covered in blood Something big is going to happen Something so big it could forever change the world What have you all done? What have you all become? A people more concerned with the temporary pleasures of this world Rather than your own eternal salvation? I am now convinced that this is the end And as I raise my head towards the heavens To take one last look at the moon, the stars begin to fall

The results are in You're not impressing anyone Just listen to what you're saying Try to remember it's not always about you Realize that in the long run your accomplishments are trivial Won't you feel stupid then? I'm tired of listening to you embarrass yourself Please, do yourself a favor: Step off of your high horse Climb down from your pedestal, and deflate your big head Arrogance has never been an attractive trait And you, my friend, have little reason to be proud
