You don't have enough and you want more Life's such a pity, it's such a bore Can we expect to see what it is That makes us so mindless to our own senses You treat us like we are the easy way out Can we expect to see it What do you do with what you have You waste it all like a wealthy man What do you do with what you need You use it all cant you see Can we expect to see what it is That makes us so mindless to our own senses You treat us like we are the easy way out Can we expect to see it What will you do with what is left Just give it all before your dead

It seems to me that you cant be What we've come to see in times of grief The bells are toiling, life is strolling Why cant we realize that time has past Wait until the storm has dried out as it screams Twisting and Turning Burning and Churning The world runs on hatred above an ocean of souls It's what we need to survive these times A piece of paper floating on the street As the clocks check in out of time Where is the end to the stomping of the feet Twisting and turning The world keeps burning Twisting and turning The world keeps burning

Watching from the outside I can see all their systems fail Slowly all the ambitions grow stale I wonder how they can ever seem to follow any light Knowing that they all see in black and white Searching very desperately for a place to be alone From all of the unrest and unknown The inside world is hot and greased and black and dead as night It's no surprise that they see in black and white Hanging over heads of many the guilt is hard to miss As well as are the dreams of perfect bliss
4.
Don't blame me for your broken heart You've been playing with me and toying me right from the start You don't care who you hurt You only care for yourself Any love you ever had Has been put on a shelf It's you and your cold ways that makes everyone you touch turn away You look pretty good to naked eyes You sound pretty good when you tell your lies Taking all you can Your evil as can be Anyone who’s close to you lives life in misery It's you and your cold ways that makes everyone you touch turn away And I hope you'll burn Maybe then you'll learn Not to be so cold Or you'll grow old
5.
There is no need to hide away It's just a little rain, it happens everyday You don't need to say a word There is no point to speak when you don't know what to say Don't fade away You don't have a single clue What is going to become of you But honestly it's hard to tell You might disappear like dust in air Or die away from lack of care But honestly it's hard to tell. Don't fade away Come on out from all your fear We would love to see you here Take your time don't rush yourself You were tired and very sick But luckily you came back quick Take your time don't fall back down Don't fade away

You would like it alot if I told you you’re right If I told you it's all my fault and never gave a fight But I'm not in this fucking hole to be your kicking call I'm just trying to get on by as quickly as I can I need to leave this place I need to get away Away from this cold embrace I need to get away Real far away Don't press their needs on you the ones that pay the bill Where everyone already knows that drugs and guns can kill Don't feel the need to steal integrity is taught Not a place where people are still being sold and bought I need to leave this place I need to get away Away from this cold embrace I need to get away Real far away Ugliness is a crime here and so is being smart They are just trying to change your mind and rewire your heart I need to leave this place, I need to get away Far Away
