What could I ever say to you to stop you for a moment? When it's every day and it's every way and I think I might explode from the adrenaline You say my dreams are wrong and my ideals are flawed Refuse I won't stop trying You don't care, you don't try But you're always there, in the line Fuck you, I am the better man I'll give you all the chances that I can Smile as you cut me, thank you as you smash me Grit my teeth as you crush me, scream aloud as you silence me But I don't think it's you, it's the you I'll meet next time And the two I'll meet tomorrow The never ending you line. ... no matter what it's always you

What am I standing here wearing? We're just trying to be ourselves What am I sitting here watching? What happened to let this happen? To be yourselves. (but) someone I Someone I, I didn't try I let you die Scorn reigns deep in the soul without recognition Sweatshops Politicians So deeply ingrained, so simply accepted Bankers But still (unconscious) reality that kills All murderers And we're just trying to be better than that I swear I'm trying To get to tomorrow, and maybe someday My waking up and living won't have any effect on you And I let them... and you them...and we let them... kill you

I remember everything you said to me I remember every laugh you laughed at me I remember how you used to look at me I remember everything you did to me I remember a decade later My neck still hurts from staring at the floor I always wanted to see myself run in slow motion It's my turn What I meant to say What I meant to do What I meant to say What I meant to do... to you A decade later, my heart still hurts form staring at the floor I always wanted to see myself run in slow motion You never let the weak go by You never let the small man walk I never let that memory go I'll remember until the day I die I want ten years you took from me

"Hi, my name's Nora." Writers' block I can't start What do I say at the end of another day It's not okay Another 14 hours and I've got nothing to say Do you ( do I ) really want to live this way? So you thought you could be yourself So you thought you could be you Control. ...control? I thought I had control Head still hurts from running into walls Neck still hurts from turning the other cheek You run into walls as you move What do you think this world owes you? What did you learn?

Look outside as the world is dying Look inside half of you are dead Look outside you want a reason Hell on earth with the angels dead Living life under the shadows of illusion Protected by others from the horrors of ourselves Threat of destruction by our own twisted creations Ignore the warning cries from the strawmen who failed us Die for your dollars, die for your leaders Die for your religion, die for your car Die. (x5) The scarecrow walks tonight Stop killing ourselves or tomorrow we'll wake up dead Look outside as the world is dying Look inside half of you are dead Look outside you want a reason Hell on earth with the angels dead Die for your religion Die for your country Die for your faith Your death was a waste Hell on earth
