Break The Cycle

1: Open Your Eyes


As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of peoples feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof over head
A crack head asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?

A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation there's no room in jail
But most of you don't give a shit
That your daughters are porno stars
And your sons sell death to kids
So lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?

You turn away
You turn away
You turn away
You turn away

As I walk along the streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?
What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?


2: Pressure

I just need this to be alright
I can't feel this another night

I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
Necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure

If you need me, I'll be here
Half unconscious to escape my fear

I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
Necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure

My head hurts this shit isn't getting me high
My chest is so tight, am I going to die
My stomach's in knots and the room starts to spin
As I wait for this valium to slowly kick in

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure


3: Fade

I try to breathe
Memories overtaking me
I try to face them but
The thought is too much to conceive

I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
That my life became 'cause

I just needed someone to talk to
You were just to busy with yourself
You were never there for me
To express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

So where were you?
When all this I was going through
You never took the time
To ask me just what you could do

I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
That my life became 'cause

I just needed someone to talk to
You were just to busy with yourself
You were never there for me
To express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

I never meant to fade...away...
I never meant to fade...

I just needed someone to talk to
You were just to busy with yourself
You were never there for me
To express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

I try to breathe...


4: It's Been Awhile

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away...
Just one more peaceful day...

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candle lights your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry


5: Change

If ever you had said to me before that I would live this life
That I am living, now I guess, it's all so strange
To feel the way I do inisde but have so much that I could feel
Some pride for in my life, so why is it that I feel like this?

How do I feel? I've been here before, I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within, I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside, it breaks me
To torment again and torture me like it used to

I try and try to break away from all the hate I'm feeling
For every one of you that's ever done me wrong
I need to justify the reasons for the way I'm living
I guess, I can't 'cause I don't feel like I deserve it

How do I feel? I've been here before, I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within, I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside, it breaks me
To torment again and torture me like it used to

So now the waves they have subsided, and my soul is bleeding
I can't take away the shame I feel, forgive me

How do I feel? I've been here before, I've felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within, I need this
Keep it all down, bottled inside, it breaks me
To torment again and torture me like it used to

Again!..


6: Can't Believe

Respect!
Respect is what is found
Respect should be abound
Respect everything that you leave
I can't believe!

I can't believe
Can't believe!
I can't believe
Can't believe!

And I
I can't believe
I can't believe all the travesty surrounding me
I, I want to flee
I want to flee from everything
In front of me!

I can't believe
Can't believe!
I can't believe
Can't believe!

Never again
Trusted in you
Fuck everything you think I should be
I stand
Never again, never again!

I can't believe
Can't believe!
I can't believe
Can't believe!
I can't believe
Can't believe!
I can't believe


7: Epiphany

Your words to me just a whisper
Your faces so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles
'Cause my words get in my way
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
'Cause I don't take anymore or this
I want to come apart
Or dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention
Though I always try to hide
'Cause I talk to you like children
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed...

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said


8: Suffer

Suffer...
Suffer...
Suffer...

The more you see, the more you do
The television's feeding you
With what you want to hear
Anger and fear because you suffer

The hate you feel won't go away
You're all programmed to feel this way
To live another day
Within a world that loves to suffer (suffer...)

And then I come to find everything's O.K.
Seen this all before but that was yesterday
I try to walk right through the messes that I've made
Just let me enjoy the life here that I've made

I've tried to give it all to you
Can't take anymore to do
With this, it hurts inside
I know why I hide 'cause I suffer (suffer...)

I tried to keep it all inside
Didn't leave me too much pride
Forced it all down inside forced myself
To make me suffer

And then I come to find everything's O.K.
Seen this all before but that was yesterday
I try to walk right through the messes that I've made
So I get enjoy the life here that I've made

And then I come to find...

And then I come to find everything's O.K.
Seen this all before but that was yesterday
I try to walk right through the messes that I've made
Just try enjoy the life here that I've made


9: Safe Place

Another day inside my world
I'm married to you and this road
A road that never lets me sleep
There's no way to escape the demons I am forced to keep

And then I find you here
Through your eyes everything's clear
And I'm home inside your arms
But I'm alone for now

I mean the best with what I say
It doesn't always sound that way
I never learned to work things out
'Cause in my family all we ever seem to do is shout

And then I find you here
Through your eyes everything's clear
And I'm home inside your arms
But I'm alone for now
Alone for now

And when I try to sleep
The drugs I take are killing me
I think of you to ease my pain
But you're so far...

Now it's time to say goodbye
I love you baby, please don't cry

But then I find you here
Through your eyes everything's clear
And I'm home inside your arms
But I'm alone for now
Alone for now


10: For You

To my mother, to my father
It's your son or it's your daughter
Are my screams loud enough for
You to hear me, should I turn this up for you?

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence gets us nowhwere
Gets us nowhere way too fast

The silence is what kills me
I need someone here to help me
But you don't know how to listen
And let me make my decisions

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
The silence gets us nowhere
Gets us nowhere way too fast

All your insults and your curses
Make me feel like I'm not a person
And I feel like I am nothing
But you made me so do something
'Cause I'm fucked up because you are
Need attention, attention you couldn't give

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence get us nowhere
Gets us nowhere way too fast

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence get us nowhere
Gets us nowhere way too fast


11: Outside

And you
Bring me to my knees
Again
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
And I leave
My burdens at the door

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I felt like this won't end
It's for you
And I taste
What I could never have
Was from you
All the times
That I've tried
My intentions
Full of pride
But I waste
More time than anyone

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I've cried
All this wasted
It's all inside
And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend
But I feel
Tomorrow will be OK

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you


12: Waste

Your mother came up to me
She wanted answers, only she should know
Only she should know

It wasn't easy to deal
With the tears that rolled down her face
I had no answers 'cause
I didn't even know you

But these words
They can't repace
The life you
The life you waste

How could you paint this picture?
With life as bad as it should seem
That there were no more options for you

I can't explain how I feel
I've been there many times before
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me

But these words
They can't repace
The life you
The life you waste...

Did daddy not love you?
Or did he love you just too much?
Did he control you?
Did he live through you at your cost?
Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own?

Well fuck them!
And fuck her!
And fuck him!
And fuck you!
For not having
The strenght in your heart
To pull through!
I've had doubts!
I have failed!
I've fucked up!
I've had plans!
Doesn't mean
I should take
My life with my own hands!

But these words
They can't repace
The life you
The life you waste

But these words
The don't replace
The life you
The life you waste...


13: Take It

I feel like this won't go away
No matter how hard I try to
Squeeze my eyes shut, so I can't see
The pain in you, this pain in me... in me...

Everything that I can say to you
Won't help you
Everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it

I know that I am really not here
To represent what I am not clear
About in my head sometimes
I feel fucked up just like you do... like you do...

Everything that I can say to you
Won't help you
Everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it

Try to make it through the daily pain
That you feel
Maybe tomorrow won't be so bad
It know it

'Cause I once felt that way
Nothing I could say
Made it go away
I lived through this
I still feel this
I just live for my tomorrow...

Just make it go away
Just make it go away
She'll make it go away
She'll make it go away...
