You innocent protrusion, stop running your mouth for once Honestly, I could keep on living without you You're not a must You think you've got the metal to take the whole world on your back? In a little while you'll find the pressure that you lack I'm Alright Even when the universe has it out for me, I'll be just fine The world is cold, we've lost all hope Even at the bleakest hour of the passing night, I'll be just fine You skipped the schooling that you needed to stay alive The world's not a place for you or any of your kind So stick with me my darling Hold on tight and close your eyes You long for knowledge I can give, I'll be your guide I'm alright Even when the universe has it out for me, I'll be just fine The earth is bland, a ball of sand Even when it seems the world's got nothing to give, I'll be just fine So hold on my savior is this the mess I gave her? Now I see a new horizon No more speaking self-proclaimed lies I'm alright Even when the universe has out for me, I'll be just fine I'm not a sage Not of the age But a lesson that I've learned from countless encounters: I'll be fine

Alone 03:13
Maybe I can't be alone My heart won't turn to stone This dropping feeling won't leave my chest Maybe I'm not so abstract Things happen, I react I need someone to share themselves Maybe love's not the game for me, but I'm tired of waiting for someone to save me If someone doesn't reach out soon, then I don't know what I'll do I'll probably sit and wait some more Do you feel like a phantom? Nobody notices you or how hard you try Do you feel like your pushed to say things they want to then disappear? It's all in a days work Maybe I can't be alone My heart won't turn to stone This dropping feeling won't leave my chest Maybe I'm a waste of space I got used to the taste of being needed everyday Maybe I'm not supposed to cry I should carry on like I never had sorrow If I told you all about and let my feelings out, I'd still have nobody on my side Do you act like you've got something to prove to those that would call you weak? Do you feel like a horse on a racetrack? Giving your all for little reward? It's all in a days work I know it's gotta hurt Maybe I can't be alone My heart won't turn to stone This dropping feeling won't leave my chest Maybe life's just but a dream While I don't know what that means, it's something I often think about Maybe I wouldn't be so distressed if this meant something to me It does but it's not enough If someone doesn't reach out soon, then I don't know what I'll do I'll probably sit and wait some more

Lone Wolf 02:55
Every time I ask people to hangout, I remember why I don't ask people to hangout anymore Every time you look at me, I look at you looking at me There's nothing left for me round here anymore is there? I better look out for myself cause I know I can't ask for help Cause people don't believe in charity anymore Start a life outside my home Start a career on my own cause it's impossible for friends to back me up Be a lone wolf Every new beginning would start off better at the ending, but that would be to easy wouldn't it? I tried to love, I tried to care but got run over with despair These people really suck the life out of me They do And it's nothing to cry about because my tears have all run out Too bad sympathy and compassion couldn't join I'm locked in combat with myself, writing poetry to kill the little people that all live inside my head They're not all dead And I'm grabbing at the words Describe the rage that really hurts my inner foundation and sense of what I'll do There's still so many songs to write, jobs to work and sleepless nights I'd rather do this till my last breath if I can It's in the plan Maybe I should be a lone wolf

I Came Back 03:56
I'm filling up on this banquet that you left for me I'm filling up on it I'm living down all the criticism you gave me I'm living down all that I'm having to stick myself with needles just to escape I'm having to do that But I'm not running from you anymore I'm not running no more I've got the wit to put you in your place I've got the wit I am surprised Some people don't come till you give em some You are the first I know it's been awhile since we've stood face to face again I am ready Cause you know I've stumbled, been left stranded with no hope of coming back... but I came back anyway I'm leaving you with this horrid taste inside of your mouth I'm leaving you with that I'm telling you, "give me twenty days, I'll be a rock star" I'm telling you I am I'm not bragging I'm being honest I'm not bragging to you I'm so sick of being lied to I'm so sick of lies and you

I Don't Know 04:50
Everything that woman says, god I know that it's coming After all the time I've spent, this feeling I'm facing leaves me paralyzed until the well runs dry I don't know who you are ya better lose that smile and drive as far as you know you can Go run off with them I hope you have a happy life and a long-term plan to stay straight It's just a passing phase But it's not, cause I'm scared I'm a mess without you and totally unprepared to stay the course It's a lie It's a joke Nothing that I feel makes sense to me anymore I don't know what to do Wish I was still there with you All alone, I sit and drone with the art that escapes me It shines a light into my eyes, then leaves and betrays me Some heaven from above All that I need is love I don't know what I want It seems that nothing makes me happy cause I've no attention span I'm still learning to trust the people in my life, the powers that give me all of my strength Wish I could celebrate, but I can't cause I'm chained I'm a criminal and clinically insane to your blank eyes It's a lie It's a joke Everyone around me's waiting for me to choke on my own substance, my personalized penance Locked in my room, suffocating fumes If someone said, "you'd rather be dead?", I'd have to let you down But I can't I'm afraid I can't leave this all and I've always been amazed by what you've done Generalize, compromise No matter how you slice it I can't break from the ties of who I am It's time to be a man
