Perfect Example



Bold

What's your problem? Can you help me understand?
Can I say I'm sorry now are we- are we friends my friend?

And the night grows colder And I'm shaking now
Is it almost over? I wanna run like hell

And I'm trying so hard But you haven't heard a word I've said
It doesn't matter though

Why do I deserve this? You can't make me kiss your hand
Then I look around me it's one to ten so I've given in

And the bright light weakens As they're closing in
But I stand boldly Are you happy now?

And I'm trying so hard But you haven't heard a word I've said
It doesn't matter though

And now you're laughing 'Cause your fist will soon sink into me
Into my skin I give up you win And I've said it over and over again

Helpless I am dead Was it something that I said? 'Can you help me understand? Will I make it through or is this the end?
Helpless I am dead Was it something that I said? Can you help me understand? Will I make it through or is this the end?

And I'm trying so hard But you haven't heard a word I've said
It doesn't matter though
And now you're laughing 'Cause your fist will soon sink into me
Into my skin I give up you win and I've said it over and over again

Invisible

This is all so new to me
Please forgive me if I'm boring you
You've got to believe I'm really trying
But something so good is never really true

I don't know exactly where it's going
But I like the looks of it so far

It really feels good to be happy
I can feel your touch from miles away
They all look and wonder why I'm laughing
And I just keep on thinking of yesterday

I don't know exactly where it's going
But I like the looks of it so far
The never knowing is so satisfying
I don't care to discuss just what we are

Can you feel me?
I move through you
Take me away
What lies ahead?
Another day- another day
Another day to be free
Free

Hearing all the laughter
Just makes me excited
Questioning the future
Only makes me wonder
Is this really something?

Can you feel me?
I move through you
Take me away
What lies ahead?
Another day- another dayto be free

Last Breath

My patience weakens as the fear grows
I fall down a little deeper into the stench
And everyday these feelings scrape my heart away
So I've decided it's not worth it

We laughed and we cried
It's time- left this life
I know- What you gave
You said

A better place awaits my arrival
He's known for quite some time that I would soon be there
And so I ask myself what's wrong with giving in?
You never noticed 'cause it already died

We laughed and we cried
It's time- left this life
I know- What you gave
You said

The letter- you read it
You found it over near me
My body just lay there
So lifeless and so weary

Look at the line
The line that separates it all
The good from the bad
Heroic from cowardly running home

I wanna be the one to give all of it
You never cared to receive just what I gave

I wanna be when I think about it I can't though because I've never been the one to say it all before

We laughed and we cried
It's time- left this life
I know- What you gave
You said

We laughed and we cried
It's time- left this life
I know- What you gave
You said

The letter- you read it
You found it over near me
My body just lay there
So lifeless and so weary

Suffering

She wakes up to the sound of her crying daughter
Covered hiding in her blanket soaking wet
She's decided to go against mother's wishes
Can not- will not fight with you once more about this

Mom- It's a part of me

We waste way too much time deciding for others
It all seems to fly once we have lost the focus
The old picture reminds her of forgotten good times
Faded yellow dress mom wore now makes her cry

Mom- Can't you just love me?

And she's losing so much
All this blinding gray
And the glass is shattered- She just runs away
Mother has lost it all now
And it breaks her heart
Can't we talk about this?
Now it's all too late

And it sort of made her
Sort of made her realize

When we run we run for savior
When we run we run to hide
When she runs she'll run to save her
When she runs she'll run to save them both

And she's losing too much
All this blinding gray
And the glass is shattered- She just runs away

Mother has lost it all now
And it breaks her heart
Can't we talk about this?
Now it's all too late

Quiet Time

I wonder where you are
Here I run I'll try to find it

I can't be what you want
The tricky part is to know your enemy
I have had it with your

Fight Quiet Fight Quiet time

I try so hard but I'm so weak
I can't be what you want
The tricky part is to know your enemy
here right there everywhere
I have had it with your- with my- with all of ours all the time

There I'll be
Holding on
You know I'll be there
You know I'll be there
You know I'll be there
You know I'll be there

Is it true what they say?
Does it hurt to die?
You know less than what you think you know
The knowledge is there but I forgot
I forgot you're a high school superstar
It's making you that way I feel sorry for you

Fight Quiet Fight Quiet time

Fight Quiet Fight Quiet time Fight

Subterfuge

Oh my gosh did you hear the latest?
Did you hear about how Lucas slept with Kari?
Use your friends to titillate Animate Entertain Entice your mind
Your life is far too boring

What?

Makeup will hide all the displeasing features
Enable your deception for acceptance
Just a subterfuge disguising the surface of you
How important is it to be liked by all my friends and I?

What?

The time will- run
And I will- fight
We all will- try
I know why
We all sit and we watch our lives on our TV
Of how we ought to be
To make a better me
Never thinking about what's left behind You or me
I see right through you and your imagery
Your subterfuge of who you want to be
Oh you're so much better than everyone

The time will- run
and I will- fight
We all will- try
I know why

Super Champ

I obsess over it more than I ought to
Every day gets longer as I long for it
Haven't you ever kind of just sort of wanted to
Sort of wanna be the guy who saves the day

I want to Be the one The one to Fix it all for us
The superchamp I'll make it work Weight of the world On me

I'll do anything for it just love me
What was it I was fighting for again?
I wanna bring home the medal win it all for you
It symbolizes my victory whatever that may be

I want to Be the one The one to Fix it all for us
The superchamp I'll make it work Weight of the world On me

And I wanted to I will be Try to be Want to be that guy, Oh I hope I will
'Cause it makes me feel good
And the days get longer as I stop to think about all the time spent wasted
Trying to get what I want and I never will

I want to Be the one The one to Fix it all for us
The superchamp I'll make it work Weight of the world On me

Shielded

Isn't it sickening how we all sit
And we've wasted this life wrapped in arguments
I've become the savior in my mind
Of course I'm right

What I'm feeling right now it's not describable
So I scratch what I can on this sheet of white
I won't take it back or give it up for anyone
Not for you, not for me, I won't do it

I said I wanted to end it
I said I wanted to be alone

My worthy cause gives me the right
Your innocence won't stop my pointless fight
We've done this before just give it up and let me win- Again

I said I wanted to end it
I said I wanted to be alone

Don't you know that your time is running down
It looks as though your strength is wearing you out
Look at me I'm on top the whole world loves me
And now I can come down and shout I have won
