Endangered Species

I've been lying awake at night I've been hoping that I'm alright I've been winding myself too tight Wondering if I will sleep tonight Never thought things would get like this Always hoping that they'd work out Still ingesting the wrong amount Now I seem to be filled with doubt I cannot stop this ride I'm growing cold inside I shouldn't let it slide Will sickness be mine? This should not be my weight to bear Go on acting like I don't care Stop this high? I wouldn't dare I have earned and deserve my share Things like this happen every day While I'm in there I feel okay But you say I should get away Let me go just for one more day I cannot stop this ride I'm growing cold inside I shouldn't let it slide Will sickness be mine? I cannot stop this ride I'm growing cold inside I shouldn't let it slide Will sickness be mine? I've got to medicate myself I'm not concerned about my health It covers up what I've been dealt It seems the only way I've got to medicate myself It's been the only thing that's helped Must cover up what I have felt It seems the only way I cannot stop this ride I'm growing cold inside I shouldn't let it slide Will sickness be mine? I cannot stop this ride I'm growing cold inside I shouldn't let it slide Will sickness be mine? Sickness is mine Sickness is mine Sickness is mine

I try to simplify These thoughts that plague our minds What is this mood we're in? We live like saints with sin How much to dignify The facts that come to light? We've lost the will to fight At the top of the food chain we arrive Are we destined to grow old? Are we really the right strain to survive? We've got to redeem our souls Souls Unable to comply, so eager to defy The risk when you apply It hurts when loved ones die Where is the moment when Existence will depend The test of now and then? At the top of the food chain we arrive Are we destined to grow old? Are we really the right strain to survive? We've got to redeem our souls (Constant ending, no real mending) If we keep on living, like we are There isn't a chance that we'll get very far So much wasted, so much lost It's our job to alter the terrible cost At the top of the food chain we arrive Are we destined to grow old? Are we really the right strain to survive? We've got to redeem our souls Souls We are the endangered species (We're running out of time) We are the endangered species (Running out of time) We are the endangered species (We're running out of time) I am an endangered specie

Well I've had enough of these selfish crimes I hurt myself again, not knowing why It seems so easy to leave it all behind And avoid the truth, I think I'd rather just go blind Then everything erupts, my life has come unglued And the ties that bind have left me, what am I to do? Can't seem to recognize that stare behind those eyes Who is this man I see who's looking back at me? Can't focus through the pain, and I am fading into nothing The reflection must get clearer I think I'm cracking up, like I've lost my mind I hurt myself again, still don't know why I end up the same way each and every time Can't avoid the truth, there's just nowhere to run and hide Then everything erupts, just like I knew it would Been down here long enough, it never felt that good Is this what I've become? My life has come unglued And the ties that bind have left me, what am I to do? Can't seem to recognize that stare behind those eyes Who is this man I see who's looking back at me? Can't focus through the pain, and I am fading into nothing The reflection must get clearer than it appears to be right now There must be someone I can see... There's gotta be something for me Show it now, let it go free I know it's there, waiting on me Let it out, let it go free Can't seem to recognize that stare behind those eyes Who is this man I see who's looking back at me? Can't focus through the pain, and I am fading into nothing The reflection must get clearer Can't seem to recognize Can't seem to recognize The reflection must get clearer

All these miles, haunting questions linger in my mind All the while, making bad decisions out of line Still I've tried, to let go of the danger in my life It's alright, when that's the only thing I've left behind And there's still time Wait for me There's so much more of life for us to see You must believe It's not because of you I've had to leave Wait for me I only hope that you'll remember me At this time, I'm counting all the reasons I should stay The bottom line, I'm missing all the things I gave away I remind, and see your faces every single day Still I'm blind, I wish that there was something I could say To make things right Wait for me There's so much more of life for us to see You must believe It's not because of you I've had to leave Wait for me I only hope that you'll remember me Just hold on a little bit longer The thoughts and memories will be enough My need for you is only growing stronger I know you don't understand it much But it doesn't mean I have to care about you any less It doesn't have a thing to do with that There's still so many questions that are going to be addressed I'm sorry that it had to be like this But there's still time to make things right Wait for me There's so much more of life for us to see You must believe It's not because of you I've had to leave Wait for me I only hope that you'll remember me You must believe It's not because of you I've had to leave Wait for me Wait for me

Will it take some time To release this inner apathy Enabled inside And it looks like you're the enemy Things are never what they seem Can't explain the reasons why The illusions that we see The many faces of our lives When you find it hard to breath Never keep it all inside Which one should I be The many faces of our lives Irrelevant minds You become a little more serious Still passing me by You should not be, rightly Dear to us And if you feel that the timing is all wrong Here's the key to remove yourself form harm Maybe then you will live again, live again I'm afraid we're in too deep Things are never what they seem I'm afraid we're just too deep to come out okay I'm afraid we're just too deep to come out okay Now

How do we deal with this? How do we clean up all this mess? Will there be a future for the latest generation? Running around, believing the sound Is anything loud enough for us to decipher Making a stand, extending our hand We must understand It's the least we can offer those less fortunate than us Something about this place It brings out all the worst Our history's been disgraced Who will destroy you first? Something about this place It brings out all the worst Our history's been disgraced Who will destroy you first? I'm balling up my fists Waiting here defenseless isn't pacifist It's ignorant, and cannot be allowed Maybe it's here or maybe it's there We're never aware of just how safe we are Could it be them or could it be us Unable to trust The information that we need Something about this place It brings out all the worst Our history's been disgraced Who will destroy you first? Something about this place It brings out all the worst Our history's been disgraced Who will destroy you first? (This time, will we all, live on?) If hurting still exists make it go away The problems that are plaguing you and I the same (This time will we all, live on?) Causing it to stay Counting down the days It's eating at the very core of us Something about this place It brings out all the worst Our history's been disgraced Who will destroy you first? Something about this place It brings out all the worst Our history's been disgraced Who will destroy you first? There's something wrong with this place Something wrong with this place

Full assistance to those who bear it all Unable to fall, waiting patiently Backs against the wall Not allowing the weak to dictate, when it's our turn to recover (Show me that) If your experiences don't compare, just turn the tables (Don't compare) Stop acting like you really care, if you're not stable Full resistance to those who care at all Directing the call, it's consuming us Backs against the wall Convincing the meek to dictate all their actions on command And eviction to those who swear it all Fit to befall the false memory Facts begin to stall Permitting the bleak existance, this is our time to discover (Show me that) If your experiences don't compare, just turn the tables (Don't compare) Stop acting like you really care, if you're not stable (Show me that) If your experiences don't compare, just turn the tables (Don't compare) Stop acting like you really care, and turn the tables There will come a time for us to change things And I will never strike at you again I will try to learn to make amends You will never lessen who I am Don't be sheltered show me where you've been Show me where you've been Show me where you've been (Show me that) If your experiences don't compare, just turn the tables (Don't compare) Stop acting like you really care, if you're not stable (Show me that) If your experiences don't compare, just turn the tables (Don't compare) Stop acting like you really care, and turn the tables (Turn the tables x6) (Turn the tables x6) Becoming yourself now, achieving what you allow Don't take it out on us all Becoming yourself now, achieving what you allow

Lost in these times Its hard to make up our minds This is the reason We're convicted for our crimes So we wait Scars on our face They show the importance Of finding a way to leave this place But then we're left with Nothing substantial to hold And I'm afraid that Our stories will never be told Some people carry on Some just stay right where they are (Our worlds divide the sight) I'd rather move along Knowledge is not very far (Our worlds divide the sight) When innocence dies It tends to shake up your life Let it consume you And then leave it all behind I need escape From the choices we made And the feelings of longing That are standing in our way But then we're left with Nothing substantial to hold And I'm afraid that Our stories will never be told! Some people carry on Some just stay right where they are (Our worlds divide the sight) I'd rather move along Knowledge is not very far (Our worlds divide the sight) Some people carry on Some just stay right where they are (Our worlds divide the sight) I'd rather move along Knowledge is not very far Our worlds divide the sight Don't give up on hope Don't give up on hope! Don't give up, because it's hope that binds us Pain that guides us Who do we trust when those things remind us? It's hope that guides us Pain that binds us Who do we trust when they're not behind us? Some people carry on Some just stay right where they are (Our worlds divide the sight) I'd rather move along Knowledge is not very far (Our world provides the sight) Now you are just where you belong (Our worlds divide the sight) Take all this hope It makes you strong! Now you are right where you belong

Doesn't it make you nervous At least you could have tried And if it doesn't disturb us Couldn't we just sit by And make a pact to ignore it All of our secret needs Becoming connected further Giving a life to feed on You let them decide The course of my life And you just stood by You threw me aside Isn't it overwhelming Living a lie inside Causing so many problems Hoping to just get by When will it all be over What would I have you say But you won't have to trouble yourself for me that way You let them decide The course of my life And you just stood by You let them decide Didn't mean to complicate tomorrow Didn't have to make you feel that way Didn't come to irritate your morals But then you push me far away Didn't mean to complicate tomorrow Didn't have to make you feel that way Didn't come to irritate your morals Why did you push me far away? I just can't see why You neglected to try To move on with our lives When we shared the goodbye You let them decide The course of my life We shared the goodbye And you threw me aside You'll never make that choice again No, not again Will you affect my life again? You'll never make that choice again No, not again Will you affect my life again?

Forging a difference, we summon existence This distance is not what it seems Painstaking process, it pulls at our instincts We're living outside of our means So long, I've hoped To be strong Down-sloped And the damage will commence The beginning of the end And the damage will commence All these occurrences bring me to life All that I've sacrificed makes it seem right Don't underestimate how hard I'll try This is our final cry Placing a marker on what I must offer It's slowly becoming unfair Will I recover from being pulled under I'm desperate and gasping for air So long, I've hoped To be strong Down-sloped This is not anything that came from me You have embedded it within my seed All of my memories are blending in Now that real damage will begin And the damage will commence The beginning of the end And the damage will commence All these occurrences bring me to life All that I've sacrificed makes it seem right Don't underestimate how hard I'll try This is our final cry This is our final cry! This is our final cry! This is our final cry! This is our final cry! It's the beginning of the end All these occurrences bring me to life All that I've sacrificed makes it seem right Don't underestimate how hard I'll try This is our final cry This is our final cry This is our final cry This is our final cry

Wake up your life You may never get the chance to make things right Rather than lie Take a moment to reflect on what's gone by It's a mistake There's no reason I should be so full of guilt Significant break So you severed all the ties that we have built All I know, even though (background) Tried to give you what was left of me But it was not enough Didn't think about the rest of me That it was not enough Tried my hardest with the best of me But it was not enough Tried to give you what was left of me But it was not enough All mixed up inside And it's easy to forget what we should be It's useless to hide I can see to the heart of your insecurity All of this time Blaming others for the cause of what we've lost Nothing sublime I must overcome no matter what the cost Chorus Please give back what is not yours to have It's the only thing that I've got left Never was enough to satisfy And I'm left empty Chorus Tried to give you what was left of me But it was not enough Didn't think about the rest of me That it was not enough Tried my hardest with the best of me But it was not enough
