Lyrics


1.Moving on
you tell me all about love and loss, we'll i've lost my point of view
an effigy for you and me, conveyed by everything you do
god i wanted us to be something that were not so i'm losing years
tried to work it out so many times that i'm fresh all out of tears


i don't know what else to do
for me and you
and i pissed away so much time losing you


so suck it up, get over me, i'm moving on without you
i don't want to live this way
the world still spins and so it ends and i'm not gonna love you now
i'm moving on


i lost my focus and i lost my faith in any future life with you
bad luck and bad circumstance and everything you put me through
god i wanted you to be that girl that you were but she's dead and gone
tried to work it out too many times well it's time i'm moving on

2. Cry For Help
another broken home a child is left alone
to figure out why daddy's gone
now she's on the streets pregnant at 15
a viscious cycle carried on


give me something to believe in
not just another trend
crying out for a hero
crying out for help


suburban neighborhood a boy misunderstood
kicked around for being different
a rifle in his hand now they'll understand
how it feels to be a victim


generation, generation crying out for help
somethings won't change till we share some of this blame
and decide to help guide kids crying out for help

3. Heartbroken
sitting here so silent now i've lost my faith in our eternal bliss
sailing on this sinking ship called us i have but one final request


broken hearts last kiss
why'd you go and why'd you go and lead me on
broken hearts last wish
why'd yo go and why'd you go and leave me all alone


join the line of losers as we parade proudly our humility
regret and loneliness consume with all my heart i beg of you


brokendown and shut up, broken hearts its to much
so tell me how to change your mind
a last hurah a last stand, one reason one chance
please tell me why'd you go and leave me all alone


4.So far
what ever happend to the girl i used to know
seems like she went so far away
all of the bullshit just keeps on adding up
there's gotta be a better way


i'm not leaving tonight
i don't care who's wrong and i don't care who's right
i'm not leaving tonight
i'm not leaving over the same old stupid fight


i know i'm never gonna change
let's go some place so far away


what ever happened to the way things used to be
something got lost along the way
let's take some time aside so we can get away
i only hope it's not too late

5. Don't Give Up
taking all your bullshit let it build up in my head
your miserable life doesn't justify the hateful things you said
lighting a fuse you'll never put out, you just haven't got a clue
all of our hate and our rage is directed straight at you


we won't give up the fight


judgement won't be rendered by this vacant feeble mind
for all that you've got you ain't got much you've left it all behind
bite my lip, i close my eyes, i've got nothing to lose
all of our hate and our rage is directed straight at you

6. The Beginning of the End
there's a fiction in that look in your eyes
when being yourself is your biggest disguise
there's a sadness in your smile i've seen a million times before
and so it starts . . . the beginning of the end


your love's already gone but you're still here
i'm giving you smile just to stop all of these tears
when it's all said and done i'll have a million things to say
but you'll be gone . . . the beginning of the end


i'm alright, i'm ok, i'll get over you someday
so many memories of a love that wasn't ordinary


i gave you everything you wanted more
you'll try to get ahead just to even up the score
always and forever was never meant for me and you
and so it ends . . . as soon as it begins

7. Fight Itlyrics
bumming on the street for another bag of dope
injected and rejected til he's lost all hope
in a world as sick as his when there's no one left to follow
he'll squander all that he can borrow


fight it, fight it, it seems a waste of time
fight it, fight it, leavin it behind
fight it, fight it, try to walk the line so he can walk away


a craving that's so strong it'll knock him to his knees
it's only in a needle he can find the strength
a dope sick misfit hitting rock bottom
a quick fix, kick this, stop this pain


8. My Life
you stop me on the street, say what you gonna do
i won't life my life the way you want me to
time has come and things have changed, there's nothing left to say
i've more important things to do with myself everyday


nothing's gonna change you
you're gonna have to get through me
though you've tried/cause it's


my life, my dreams, no one's gonna take away from
my life, my dreams, so what else have you got


you say my life is useless, there's bigger things to come
i can be a better person, someday i'll be someone
god knows that i'm not perfect, i made a few mistakes
but time will tell, i've given more than i take


9. Worst Day
just like an angel heaven sent
she was my one and only friend
but misplaced emotions coming back
make this the worst day of the rest of my life


what did i do to make you feel unhappy
what did i say to make you feel like second best


i tell you i can't go on like this
you tell me try a little patience
but feelings of insecurity
make this the worst day of the rest of my life


whisper to you so softly
with all my heart i'm sorry
try to erase these memories
cause this is the worst day of the rest of my life


what can i do to make you feel like laughing
what can i say to make you run back home to me


10. Take It Back
welcome to a world where all your streets are paved with gold
where personality problems can be diagnosed
by a qualified and quantified objective soul
who'll medicate and aleviate your fragile world


well i'm not crazy just misunderstood by those who've given in
and you can take your mispent youth and shoot it up and down and in and out cause


this time
you've sacrificed reality for a pain free look at this world
it's time
to take it back identity is the only thing you have left that's not theirs


hurried images find their way through portals to your soul
you're booted up and jacked into a brave new world
where you don't have to leave the comfort of your home
but your real world's so virtual


drug induced instant messages sent by mindless drones like you
a social life with a click of a mouse or a prozac pleasure cruise
have you lost it, given in to the idea you'll never fit
take it back before you lose it all it's your soul you'll win or lose

12. McAlister's Hymn
rollin out of bed another piss drunk tuesday
he's stumblin out and lookin for a fight
go one more round with jack and crown, knocked out


it's to the club or this lonely pub so he can find a drink
where the motto is you swim before you sink
but dreams die fast with every glass he takes


run away another day
turn around and face the world


he's fallin down but never out as stubborn as he's proud
so he'll tip another bottle to his mouth
it's do or die his battle cry heard loud


stumblin outta the club another piss drunk tuesday
it's him against the world most every night
he'll waste away go day by day, knocked down


rollin out of bed another piss drunk wednesday
he's stumblin out and lookin for a fight
go one more round with jack and crown, knocked out


he's warrior proud, live and loud, down and out, bout by bout
standin tall he'll turn and face the world
he's black and blue, brew by brew, he's twenty two, he's me and you
