How Can I? 2
stuck in my room,
another day i feel trapped,
doing what i don't want to do,
can't excape it,
you want to cut,
because it was your only
way out,
how can i continue to live?
with a life,
that has so many problem,
how can i tell my deepest problem,
when i know where they will lead me,
but, is it better than the place i
am now?
how can i find the strenght,
to get the help that i need?
when it so hard to accept,
that you were wrong,
after a whole year,
but, it better late than never,
wouldn't you say,
i'm tiried ot ending in the same place,
over and over,
because of stubborness,
when it just holding me back,
from doing what needs to get done,
but i'm left asking,
how can i change what i don't like?
when you on the thin line of,
reality and denial,
reality is hard to face,
while denial,
tells you what you want to hear,
but, than again,
that's the only reason i keep asking,
how can i?

Preferred Distractions
If you have recently discovered,
You have become one of many people...
Who have awakened to ask,
'What is going on? '
And you are dismayed and distraught by it?
Why concern yourself with the facts of life now?
Crawl back into your shell.
Denial hasn't kept you from redecorating.
And those in denial always find a way,
To address their beliefs to keep themselves...
In preferred distractions to attract whatever it is,
They stubbornly keep intact as a reality kept protected.
And who has the right to say,
A reality that affects the lives of everyone...
Is a reality everyone 'should' accept and MUST face?

Will You Be Able To Understand My Last Option, Or Just Tell Me I'm Wrong?
i can tell you how much i hate my life,
and still you would not understand my stuggles,
everyday i find myself in a place i don't like,
and can't seem to excape,
i wonder when i can find peace,
just to live my life,
to enjoy it like i use to,
but now it became hard,
my cloulds are gray,
with lots of rain,
and it seems like nobody even cares,
when i scream at the tops of my lungs,
it's like nobody hears,
they missing what's in front,
without knowing how to help,
it's like i'm trapped in a place,
i don't want to go,
but, nobody knows how to help,
lost and confused,
where my only option,
seems to be suicide,
but so many questions left remaining,
whether it be about my family,
and others i leave behind,
without a reason of my absance,
just a broken heart and anger,
into why i did it,
why i take the easy way out,
without getting help?
to me, my only question is,
what would they do?
it seems as if nobody can understand,
let alone find a way to help,
so my last question is,
why not do it,
everything else seem to already fail?

Underneath
Waking up this morning thinking
Maybe this can't be real
And they say there is nothing love can't heal
Why don't you come on down
So you can feel what I feel
Sitting all alone in this place
Even though we're here face to face
There is nothing gone but there's something wrong
Can't you see that I'm stuck here underneath
And you're making it hard to breathe
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me
Underneath
Said Underneath
I know what to say but don't know where to begin
I fear I'm losing you beneath my skin
What is the resoloution for this pain that I'm in?
Sitting all alone in this place
Even though we're here face to face
There is nothing gone but there's something wrong
Can't you see that I'm stuck here underneath
And you're making it hard to breathe
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me
Underneath
Said Underneath
Oh whoa oh whoa oh
If only you could feel what I dream
Baby you could hear what I mean
There is nothing gone but there's something missing
Can't you see that I'm stuck here underneath
And you're making it hard to breathe
Take a look around and tell me what you see
You'll find me
Underneath
Said you'll find me
Underneath
Underneath
Said Underneath

Often, if you feel trapped in a situation, through the structure of a song a development appears. A simple key change can provide that different way of looking at a problem. That's my therapy. In reality, nothing ever stays the same and I think we should remember that in our deepest depressions.
The Chronicles Of A Dark Heart Part 23 For A Friend
How could I just let you walk by
When every day it just makes me feel like it's better to die
Than try and live without you
Live without the love your smile promises
Live without your tender kisses
Without the hope that you'll love me too
But my love for you is the greatest kind
The hardest love to find
My love, loved you enough to let you go, because I thought that was best
I loved you enough to let you go even when I loved more than all the rest
Loved you enough to mask my feelings and let you be with someone else
When they didn't even deserve you, I should have just let you see me
And maybe the way I feel because now you're gone and won't return
I'm the one who got the burn
I now see she didn't love you because she is quick to replace
Quick to find someone to take your place
When I'm still left here broken, but
There is no turning back
No reversing the past
So I cant help but mourn
That I allowed my heart to be torn
In two and in more pieces, suppressing my love for you, when it was futile
When now you're gone forever and I'm left in denial
Unable to accept the reality
Unable to believe I can still be me
Because I feel like a shadow of who I once was
Cause
You helped me to be that way
I choke back tears as I say
I loved you, because you're not here
You'll never call me your dear
I don't know how to stop missing you
There will never be anyone else like you
There seems like no hope, but maybe just maybe
But maybe I have been searching for something else all along

Denial Is My River
Denial is a river I know so well
For it flows deep in my veins.
It's my partner when lonely,
Defender in conflict and doctor for my pains.
This river of tears cleanses my ears
So I can hear what I need.
It's current sucks under those who wonder
And all who've disagreed.
With denial I can defend myself
Against each who seems a fool.
For theirs is the problem, the error,
The fault and I'm the one to rule.
Waves of denial splash at my face
Forcing a flaccid smile.
Torrents of liquid numb my space.
Then nothing hurts for a while.
Denial is my river. It serves me well.
It's the only refuge I've found.
Though my greatest fear while swimming here
Is that who I was has drowned.

Denial
Denial is a river I know so well
For it flows deep in my veins.
It’s my partner when lonely,
Defender in conflict and doctor for my pains.
This river of tears cleanses my ears
So I can hear what I need.
Its current sucks under those who wonder
And all who’ve disagreed.
With denial I can defend myself
Against each who seems a fool.
For theirs is the problem, the error,
The fault and I’m the one to rule.
Waves of denial splash at my face,
Forcing a flaccid smile.
Torrents of liquid numb my space.

The Biggest Disaster
What 'is' unfortunate?
The capitalization of the word DENIAL.
And the tremendous affect the act of it,
Has had on the millions of those who have been shown...
A protection from truth will produce for them a reality.
And a denial pursued is what all should do!
However,
In the doing...
Denial 'now' has become too huge of a magnitude,
To disregard...
As the biggest disaster ever allowed to be created,
Humanity has come to face!

Carousel
she can't hide no matter how hard she tries
her secret disguised behind the lies
and at night she crys away her pride
with eyes shut tight staring at her inside
all her friends know why she can't sleep at night
all her family asking is she alright
all she wants to do is get rid of this hell
well all she's got to do is stop kiddin herself
she can only fool herself for so long [x3]
are you too weak to face me?
(she can only fool herself)
[chorus]
i never know just why you run so far away far away from me [x2]
when it comes to how to live his life and can't be told
says he got everything under control
thinks he knows he's not a problem he's stuck with
but in reality it would be a problem to just quit
an addict and he can't hold the reigns
the pain is worse cause his friends have it the same
trys to slow down the problem he's got
but can't get off the carousel untill he makes it stop
he can only fool himself for so long [x3]
are you too weak to face me?
(he can only fool himself)

Preferring to Align Yourself With Routine
Remember...
Truth is not what you decide it is.
If you are suffering from the acknowledgement of it...
And can not free yourself from an assortment of beliefs,
There is nothing about truth you will accept.
Even if God answered your prayers...
You would still be in denial.
Preferring to align yourself with routine.
And not a deliverance with concrete meaning.
That would be too much reality!
Wouldn't it?
You could not live without relying upon delusions.
Or an embellishment of your activities.
You've become accustomed to structure,
And dictation.
With a place to hide where you can go lie to yourself.
Concealed in neurotic freedoms.

Life is not always perfect
life can be ****ed up,
but what can we do?
whine and cry
because the things we want
you can't have?
or just change the way
you see life?
life can be unfair,
why let it bring you down?
you can't change what happens,
or what's going to happen,
you control your life,
nobody else
so to place blame on somebody,
only shows,
that you have no courage
to take responsibity,
for the way your life was going
fight through when times get hard,
why cry when nothing will change?
the people who are gone,
will never return,
that guy that broke your heart,
will fall in love again,
why should you remain,
trapped in the past,
plus everything you want to change,
only to find,
it was out of your reach to begin with,
except for....
Right here and Right now,
because what matters the most,
is when you realize,
that life not as bad as you thought,
when you find that person inside,
that know pain is part of life journey,
even though life sucks,
you have to fight through it,
without letting it get the best of you.

Letting You Go
It ain't no fun lying down to sleep
And there ain't no secrets left for me to keep
I wish the stars up in the sky
Would all just call in sick
And the clouds would take the moon out
On some one-way trip
I drove all night down streets that wouldn't bend
But somehow they drove me back here once again
To the place i lost at love, and the place i lost my soul
I wish i'd just burn down this place that we called home
It would all have been so easy
If you'd only made me cry
And told me how you're leaving me
To some organ grinder's lullaby
It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
Now the sky, it shines a different kind of blue
And the neighbor's dog don't bark like he used to
Well - me, these days
I just miss you - it's the nights that i go insane
Unless you're coming back for me
That's one thing i know that won't change
It's hard, so hard - it's tearing out my heart
It's hard letting you go
Now some tarot card shark said i'll draw you a heart
And we'll find you somebody else new
But i've made my last trip to those carnival lips
When i bet all that i had on you
It's hard, it's hard, it's hard, so hard
It's hard letting you go
It's hard, so hard, it's tearing out my heart
But it's hard letting you go

Crazy Me
Another day just like all the rest
Time marches in place at this address
I can't bring myself to change a single thing
Every photograph still haunts me from its frame
I still can't believe I lost your love
Half empty closets should be proof enough
Tho' you made it clear, there would be no turning back
This flame burns in the face of cold hard facts.
Crazy Me, there's a light on in the window
Crazy Me, waits for the phone to ring
Faithfully, when I should be letting go
Holding on like late November leaves
Crazy Me.
I guess that I should get on with my life
Soon as my heart learns the meaning of goodbye
Take the pieces up and put them in their place
If reality was something I could face
Your memory is something I just can't erase.
Crazy Me, there's a light on in the window
Crazy Me, waits for the phone to ring
Faithfully, when I should be letting go
Holding on like late November leaves
Crazy Me...

I Don't Feel Sorry For You
Why are you always in the wrong place?
At the wrong time?
I don't feel sorry for you
You don't deserve what you've been through
But i don't feel sorry for you
Why are you bothered what i'm doing wrong
What does it matter to you?
I don't feel sorry for you
No, i don't feel sorry for you
The problem is you can't escape from yourself
And there's times when you want to
The problem is you can't just hide away
When that's all you want to do
Why are you always in the wrong place?
At the wrong time?
I don't feel sorry for you
You just have to grin and bare it
Till the end
Cos that's all that you can do
Why are you never here
By my side
Don't hide
Stay with me

Scars
Those who suffer scars outside
Are afflicted since they can't hide.
But they likely confront reality
Since their appearance is there to see.
In turn most learn it's not what is seen,
Since actions determine what life will mean.
Whereas those harboring scars inside
Can't be treated when they've denied
That there's anything wrong…
Until the next crisis comes along.
Then it's the world that's marred…
Not them since they have worked hard.
Scars of denial, insecurity and hate
Are like open wounds that never abate.
These marks take their greatest toll
Surreptitiously hidden, destroying soul.
Sadder are innocent victims that suffer;
Unscarreds exposed to denial with no buffer.

Our Problems
We often think our problems
are much bigger than they are,
in reality we only make them seem that way.
We worry sometimes over nothing
never figuring they will come out
all right in the end,
but normally they do.
A human fatality I’m afraid
that makes us worry over nothing.
We look at the negative side of our problems
instead of taking a positive view.
We tell ourselves the problem
is an insurmountable kind
that we will never be able
to solve it at anytime.
What we should be telling ourselves
is that every problem has a solution,
and if we take our time we will find it
and the problem will go away.

Look towards sky
How helplessly we look towards sky?
Cut sorry figure and feel very shy
It is not your fault still that makes you to think
Why all of sudden your boat was capsized and sunk
It happens with many of the promising boys
They have learnt it while playing with the toys
So when it becomes the reality to face
All of sudden you find your non existent and out of race
Someone may blame it entirely on fate
It might be possible too that they have acted late
Some people are very lucky to have it without any problem
It is like cake walk and readily available to them
These factors are interwoven and formed as unavoidable parts
We can’t do away with it and normally can’t depart
We got to face the rough weather and continue with it
The action and course has to be chosen what seems totally fit
Some of the results are unexpected and can be taken as such
It is within your reach and caliber to go up to it and touch
If due to some of the reasons it is not turned into reality
Then it can’t be taken as setback or lack of quality
We are victims of the circumstances
You may take sight many instances
Where people are capable but still face failure
Life as such can not be taken for sure

Views Of Life
everyday i wish things can be different,
but, than i'm stuck facing reality,
nothing not what it seems,
life is harder to fight,
wanting me to hide out of plain sight,
just so i can face the fight,
but, feel trapped trying to fight through,
the way life is,
is very strange, but i know that all things can change,
ive faced reality time and again,
theres no way to hide it or conquer it,
you have to live with it,
trying to fight can help,
but winning isnt everything,

Day In Day Out
wakes up in the morning and puts on his clothes
takes a step to the door, turns the key and he goes
takes a left at the light like he has for his whole working life
same worthless job everyday 9 to 5, with his nose to the grind just so he can survive
if you look in his eyes you can see that he's barely alive...
we swore when we were kids that one day we woud change the world,
but now wheres our ambition gone...
chorus: get up and get out, you've gotta get out of here
to save yourself you can be nowhere near,
small town is draggin us down and we're losin our mind
even at night everything is the same,
all the cool things have been done in so many ways
so as if i a daze, he drowns his mind out on too much tv
the problem he has is it's so hard to grow in a place where change is incredibly slow
if it happns at all it's too late for the problem o solve
