Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets?
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow


I'm not a coward I've just never been tested
I'd like to think that if I was I would pass
Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go I
Might be a coward, I'm afraid of what I might find out
Never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Which makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder if
I've never had to knock on wood
And I'm glad I haven't yet
Because I'm sure it isn't good
That's the impression that I get


HE WAS A SK8R BOI
SHE SAID SEE YOU LATER BOY


CAUSE I'M IN TOO DEEP AND I'M TRYING TO KEEP
UP ABOVE IN MY HEAD INSTEAD OF GOING UNDER


I am a creature of the night,
It's the only thing that feels right,
Yeah, it's the only way that I get by,
I hope you don't mind
Not as inspired in the daylight,
I'm too distracted by everything in sight,
If I just wait til everybody says goodnight,
I'll get it done right


What if people knew that these were real
I'd leave my closet door open all night
I know the CIA would say
What you hear is all hearsay
I wish someone would tell me what was right
Up all night long
And there's something very wrong
And I know it must be late
Been gone since yesterday
I'm not like you guys
I'm not like you



Chances blown
Nothing's free
Longing for what used to be
Still it's hard
Hard to see
Fragile lives, shattered dreams


I'M JUST A KID AND LIFE IS A NIGHTMARE


You give what you give cause they make you
Trapped inside a place that won't take you
They want you to be what they make you
It's already over and done
When you're young, things never seem wronger
They say it's better this way
I hope one day I am stronger than I feel
And I hope that it feels different than today


They're gonna clean up your looks
With all the lies in the books
To make a citizen out of you
Because they sleep with a gun
And keep an eye on you, son
So they can watch all the things you do
Because the drugs never work
They're gonna give you a smirk
'Cause they got methods of keepin' you clean
They gonna rip up your heads
Your aspirations to shreds
Another cog in the murder machine


Now that you're older life's weighing on your shoulders
You can't seem to keep things so perfectly straight
With most things so basic you might as well face it
You can't help but worry it's all just begun


I DON'T EVER WANNA BE YOOOOU
DON'T WANNA BE JUST LIKE YOU



Out of breath, a permanent condition
Taken by the night
This bone and flesh
Could never find a reason to breathe in again
He said come out, come out from your hiding
Just as you are, come out from the dark
Even when the dead man's sleeping
Resurrection calls to restore
Even here and now you're what he's calling for
So take a breath and break the night
Stranger to the light
Wind of God dig up the graves
Breathe into this slain


Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out
Or looked down on
Just do your best
Do everything you can
Don't worry what their bitter hearts
Are gonna say


I'd like to see them spend a week
Livin' life out on the street
I don't think they would survive
If they could spend a day or two
Walking in someone else's shoes
I think they'd stumble and they'd fall
They would fall


Well everyone I know has got a reason
To say, "put the past away"
Wish you would step back
From that ledge my friend
You could cut ties with all the lies
That you've been living in
And if you do not want to see me again
I would understand


Dreaming about Providence
And whether mice or men have second tries
Maybe we've been livin' with our eyes half open
Maybe we're bent and broken, broken
We were meant to live for so much more
Have we lost ourselves?


When will we lead ourselves to water
and drink ourselves clean in the well?
When will we see our sins as fodder,
Transcend the judgement and bid farewell?


You walk the streets at night still looking for your reason
But you don't wanna try
You swear the world has got you backed into a corner
But no one holds your hand to walk into a fight
You swear the light is gonna find you
But it can't find you
When you're waiting all the time
