Everything you told me was true
From a certain point of view!
I still can't trust a word you say
I can't trust the person you pretend to be
I know I should have just walked away
Instead of running into the fire to see what I could save.
Stop shooting daggers out your eyes, please
I want to let this go. I want to let it go.
Just because for fine, baby,
Doesn't mean you've got the same hold on me.
Now that I see what you should have said,
I know I could have stopped.
And instead of wasting brain cells on you
Should have blown them away.
Disgusted with the thought of your mind
How did you ever love?
Holding onto what we know is false
I'd still show you what I thought.
So take off that veil baby,
I want to see the truth in your eyes,
I want to close those truthless eyes.

Higher on fire
Stuck livin on the wrong end of a dead-end one way street
Where the only way out is up and away.
How did we get here? And can we be saved?
I'd like to figure out what in life was wasted,
But I'd want to change it, and realize its better that way.
Like sometimes when you wait any day,
with a wish or a working, has it ever been worth it?
If nothing is perfect, can they be declared the best?
Only in our minds, where its best for us all.
Where the only way out is up and away.
How did we get here? And can we be saved?

Just like them
I wasn't one for greatness, though I tried all the same
We weren't ones for everything, but all you had you gave.
A few rungs up we lived, what seemed like the top of the world
Every year it was better, but time would take its turn.
I guess I should have listened to someone, and not rushed out.
I suppose I should go back in time to smack myself around.
My greatness came and went, just like everything else.
I can look back now, and know that I wouldn't change the surrounding.
I guess its what happens, and you get up and keep going.
The only hope for life I have, is to re-live that life by showing.
No matter what it takes, I'm bringing greatness back.
Even if it takes my life away, I think I can handle that.
I'm going to do what I've got to, to live it out again,
And give all I've got to give, just like them.

On our way
Watch it crumble, but what can you do?
It seems that everything is falling
deeper down the hole.
What can be done? Society is a joke.
Humanity doesn't exist to anyone,
And the universe is gone.
We can all see the bad, is there any good?
it all may not end, but its dying just as well.
We're on our way,
And we'll be there soon.
Its a one way ticket,
And they're taking you.
There's no way off,
This train of doom.
We're on our way,
We'll see hell soon.
All we can do is look past what we see.
As impossible as it may seem.
Give me the time I need, I'll make it okay.
Let my mind wander, get the good with the bad.
Daydream more than night, live a life inside it.
Do what you want, baby, because we all must save us.
It seems that everything is falling
deeper down the hole.

A life with meaning
Just for a moment, think about what you've done.
If we were the only ones in this verse,
Would that make it better or worse?
You search for the meaning to all of this
But I knew it all along.
Teaching unselfishness, humility,
Why won't you learn?
Would it make your dreams true?
Too bad you'll never know.
Maybe you think too much, baby
Or maybe you don't think enough.
What good is that brain if you never use it?
You'll become them, that shit.
Whether it's too much or not,
We know they don't have enough.
It won't last so do the life thing.
As meaningful your thursday fling.
In the past we live, under this veil called the present,
Nothing's gunna change that, something to regret.
You're life is seedy but it can be great too
Either way, is it worth living for anyone but you?
The only way to live, if you don't want to stall
Just make sure you're fighting for it all.
Born to leave, but not for me
While we die, we have a mission to complete.
Maybe you think too much, baby
Or maybe you don't think enough.
What good is that brain if you never use it?
You'll become them, that shit.
Whether it's too much or not,
We know they don't have enough.
It won't last so do the life thing.
As meaningful as a thursday fling.
Have you ever had a thought in your head
That at the time it didn't make much sense.
Then one day it came out out loud,
Through someone elses mouth.
Maybe then you'll see my no sided coin,
With both sides of yours burnt into one.
What's more, the beauty or the depressing?
You can't go back, so might as well move forward.
