Situation
02:01
|
|||
|
situation thrown into our hands as you move on
leaving things behind
i wish that i could say i was happy to see the change unresolved
but i guess that it takes time
CHORUS:
friendship? - didn't mean enough to you
priorities? - knowing just how to say "goodbye"
burning bridges left behind
but it didn't mean that much to you
it didn't mean enough to you
now i've come to see things in perspective
of how you act and how you change through time
still i'd like to believe that it meant something to you
lie after lie, sincerity, or were you just along for the ride?
CHORUS
friendship?
you didn't say goodbye
because it didn't mean enough to you

Look Ahead
02:05
|
|||
|
Time's getting old, time's come to start anew
Forget the past and the pain but look ahead to walk that path with you
Dwelling on the times, see a bright new day
We'll leave the past behind and throw it all away
C: Voices from inside my head
Mixed signals from the words you have said
Save me from this uncertainty
Now throw it all away and walk away with me
Communicate, don't let it drift away
Someone to trust, someone to hear, somewhere to lean, someone to listen to me say
But I know, things take time
but still my mind is racing still waiting for a sign
(C)

You'll Never Know
03:14
|
|||
|
barely 17 years old, after 16 years of time
though it seems like nothing, there's still something to find
weight of my plans hanging over my head
where will i be by the time these words are read?
feels like the whole world is closing in on me
no time to clear my mind no time to let things be
directions in my head, planned from here to where
no time between but still there's more to life than what's there
CHORUS:
where will the time bring us?
where will the answers be?
but memories remain, still time won't stay the same
seeing one more situation come and go, just show's you'll never know
feels like the whole world is closing in on me
can't be the whole world of what has come to be
CHORUS

Asking Why
02:12
|
|||
|
there comes a time when i question everything i believe
what is a friend? what do i stand for? what do i need?
it's so hard to care anymore and it's so hard to try
can't understand myself and i'll always be asking why
it all seems so hopeless when i begin to think like this
can't comprehend the world but try not try not try not to clench my fists
it's so hard to care anymore i can't decide what to believe
what is a friend? what do i stand for? and what do i, what do i need?
what is a friend?

Accept
01:54
|
|||
|
as we take the time to figure out what life means to us
we shouldn't fight off truth and trick ourselves in trading trust
for the things that hold no promise and melt our minds to waste
they'll bar us from all hope, when all we want's a taste, of freedom
we've got to break those chains of shame we bear on our souls
with one true force forgiving
circle through emotions, you always try so hard
to find the right thing to do
yet it never seems to satisfy you
but i am just another soul trying to get through this life
so take it on your faulty own or find relief from strife,
with a savior
everything falls into place
it's still your choice to accept that grace
everything falls into place
It's still your choice
you've got to break the chains

Fork in the Road
03:20
|
|||
|
this time around ill just take it as it comes
for what it is, not what it has been
this time around i won't make the same mistakes
put it aside and live for today
did it ever cross her mind, was it just a waste of time
did it ever cross her mind, as i sat back and asked why
this time around, questions and answers
but still time passes by
this time around, one thing to another
but still, still i try to try
did it ever cross her mind, did it ever really last
was it just a waste of time, or a puzzle from the past
CHORUS:
things have gone their ways, still is there room for change
to break away from the old
but is the end just a time for a new beginning
with just another fork in the road
this time around i'll just take it as it comes
for what it is, not what it has been
did it ever cross my mind during this time of question
that change would bring me in a new direction
CHORUS

Worst Enemy
02:25
|
|||
|
i'm starting to see things in perspective
and how people act and change through time
sometimes i tend to believe
my worst enemy is myself
but then i think maybe i'm just paranoid
you've heard me once before
whether it was in a song or in person
i've carried on for way too long
but still my mind cannot stop racing
so still i think maybe i'm just paranoid
C: thoughts, words - we become enemies
trust, love - i thought you were my friend
dreams, goals - i know i shouldn't pretend
life, reality - this isn't the end:|
my worst enemy is myself
but what do i know
i am just paranoid
i think i'd rather be asleep
now i know, yeah I know i'm paranoid
(C)

If You Could See
02:51
|
|||
|
if only you had seen the way things look to me
if we had known where the time would go
if you could hear this ringing in my ear
if you could see just what you mean to me
if only you could see the portrait painted in my mind
of this life of these times and of my words
if only i could show the true way that i feel inside
maybe we'd know just where to go from here
CHORUS:
but we're stuck here in this confusing state of mind
getting nowhere but still trying to find
silent steps of progression, passing through my mind
to analyze but still i get nowhere
silent steps of progression, a voice i can hear
of sanity still trying to make it clear
if only we had met in a much more perfect world
of things to say maybe things would have changed
CHORUS
because when you think you got it all figured out,
everything has changed
the times i spend thinking about
the times in my life rearrange
