I've forgotten how to smile A common relapse, an ocean of change within I didn't know I was going to be the prey Until it was already much too late They always say they're against the grain Come on, they all look the same They just joined another tribe To help them build up some old pride Nothing new to see here Oh, here we go, go again Following all the trends It's become an obsession Yeah, it's time to accept it Yeah, here we go, go again Following all the trends It's become an obsession Yeah, it's time to accept it Yeah It's raining again, creating puddles of uncertainty It's where my passion ends and the insecurity begins All of this combined, contaminating me Maybe someday we will see Maybe someday we will see They always say they're against the grain Come on, they all look the same They just joined another tribe To help them build up some old pride Nothing new to see here Oh, here we go, go again Following all the trends It's become an obsession Yeah, it's time to accept it Yeah, here we go, go again Following all the trends It's become an obsession Yeah, it's time to accept it Yeah Where is, where is your honesty? Give us something real Wipe off your smile No more deception Is this real? Here we go, go again Following all the trends It's become an obsession Yeah, it's time to accept it Yeah, here we go, go again Following all the trends It's become an obsession Yeah, it's time to accept it Yeah

I can understand to a certain extent The camaraderie and mass appeal But the feelings you hold You got 'em under control Make me realize how much you have grown I can understand what you meant That very few could even deal With the passable delivery you've shown Make me realize you're on your own You're on your own I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better I can lie, I can lie if it gives you pleasure You'll be fine, you'll be fine if we do it together But, I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better Please know I'll be here when you return I can understand to a certain extent What you're going through and how you feel But the stories you've told and the pictures you've shown Make me realize you're on your own You're on your own I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better I can lie, I can lie if it gives you pleasure You'll be fine, you'll be fine if we do it together But, I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better Please know I'll be here when you return Please know I'll be here when you return But upon returning Nothing makes sense It's more foreign than the place you just left Everyone's living Everyone's working Everything's so deceiving Sometimes Sometimes Sometimes Sometimes I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better I can lie, I can lie if it gives you pleasure You'll be fine, you'll be fine if we do it together But, I can lie, I can lie if it makes you feel better Please know I'll be here when you return Please know I'll be here when you return Please know I'll be here when you return Please know I'll be here when you return

They laid down and watched it all crumble around them They laid down and watched their city burn They decided to give in today, succumb to their ways They truly believed they couldn't get away They couldn't get away Regardless if it was wrong Even if it was right They went down without a fight Down without a fight Regardless if it was wrong Even if it was right They went down without a fight Down without a fight Believing positivity breeds positive happenings Now it's known (Now it's known) Everyone should have been brave Now it's known (Now it's known) If they'd stuck around, their lives would have been saved They just turned and walked away No one ever thought they would Now there's only soot and decay Where their city once laid Regardless if it was wrong Even if it was right They went down without a fight Down without a fight Regardless if it was wrong Even if it was right They went down without a fight Down without a fight Believing positivity breeds positive happenings They just turned and walked away They're never coming back Never coming back Regardless if it was wrong Even if it was right (Never coming back) They went down without a fight Down without a fight (Never coming back) Regardless if it was wrong Even if it was right (Never coming back) They went down without a fight Down without a fight Believing positivity breeds positive happenings

I've been aching for someone I've barely met And I've been begging for something I'll never get And I've been tracing the footsteps of fallen men Hoping to fill this void within But I'm here all alone again Here all alone again Here all alone again Hoping to fill this void within Within, within Well, I've been chasing the impossible And I've been floating around this world Wondering why I'm still in orbit Choking on the fumes up here Choking on the fumes again But I'm here all alone again Here all alone again Here all alone again Hoping to fill this void within Within, within Well, I've been aching for someone I've barely met And I've been begging for something I'll never get

He lived the life, never offended, he played by the rules Struck the right chords, he was never out of tune Sacrificed every second for his kids and wife Thought to himself, "If I only had more time" He said, "It's a problem that I'll solve It's a problem to resolve someday" Commuted daily to his high-tech job Waited in line patiently with the rest of the mob Now, a taste of success can forever jade When the pink slip arrived, he'd finally lost his way He said, "It's a problem that I'll solve It's a problem to resolve someday" He abandoned his family, he's by himself There's nothing left now, no substance, no wealth His whole life was work and business, he could hardly see The story of a jaded man, he'll never know what could've been It's all too common these days It's all too common these days It's all too common these days It's a problem that he saw It's a problem he resolved

You say the sky's falling, but it's the earth rising A perception as precious as some gold You spend all of your time in front of the tunnel At the beginning of the light Scrambling for someone amongst the cold Well, I don't want to, but I have to Where I'll end up I'm not really sure Well, I don't want to, but I have to Yes, I have to let you go Change is calling, but your fears keep stalling Your potential to progress and transform You spend all of your time solving a puzzle A beginning with no end in sight A violent storm waiting to unfold Well, I don't want to, but I have to Where I'll end up I'm not really sure Well, I don't want to, but I have to Yes, I have to let you go Running like I'm stationary transient You'll get over it, you'll get over it Creatures of happiness to be left alone out here Hasn't been overdressed Feeling like we've been through this all before You'll get over it, you'll get over it I don't know what I'd do without all of this You'll get over it I don't want to, but I have to Where I'll end up I'm not really sure Well, I don't want to, but I have to Yes, I have to let you go Yes, I have to let you go

Traveled up and down these roads Had to adventure out and become a man Started in a familiar place But ended up in a foreign land But as the story usually goes Nothing quite went as planned He was on an endless road, feeling like a king Even after the initial bite, the wound still did sting It's not an easy thing to deal with, even for the toughest man It was already over before it began It was already over before it began The same strut was in his walk The same fire was in his eye Before his child was even born He'd already said his goodbyes He was on an endless road, feeling like a king Even after the initial bite, the wound still did sting It's not an easy thing to deal with, even for the toughest man It was already over before it began It was already over before it began
