1. What It Means to Me
Today I woke
from what was a dream
Everyday
is more reality
The hands on the clock
keep ticking fast
Time won't stop
this process
Now
I take a look around
and see
what is happening to me
I hear
everything you say
so don't feed my mind
with your guilt and your senseless ways
Don't push, push, push
your heavy load
onto me
I can't take no more
What you've always seen
is waht I'll always be
Don't turn
your back on me
Yout trust
means nothing to me
Don't try
to change my mind
with you telling me what to do
We won't see eye to eye
(backing chorus)
I can't explain
It's not the same
The change is made
Yesterday is far away
Today is the day
(repeat)
Now I wait
to see the shape
The mold is made
Free my mind
from the state
that holds it in
What's within
must now come out
and change my life
Now it's clean
Now I see
without a doubt
I can't explain
It's not the same
The change is made
(chorus)
I have seen my better days
Now it seens they're slipping away
I don't know what I want
I don't know what I need
I just have to find what's right for me
Don't tell me how it's got to be
I've got to take hold of some reality
Listen now the time is short at hand
Give it all, Give it all, I know you can
I know I've only got this life to live
I'm going to make, going to take the best of it
I know I'm only getting older
Now there is no more time for me to waste
No
It's not the same
My mind
My body
Things begin to change
I can't believe these things that you say to me
I close my ears
I block out all reality
(backing chorus)
(chorus)
I have seen my better days
Now it seems they're slipping away
I believed in me
I don't know what this life means to me
2. A World Away
Break in here
Take me where
There
Locked inside my own little room
bored as shit with nothing to do
Kidnapped from the life I knew
Thanks to you this rehab's cool
Hang my head to hide my face
Treatment here is such a disgrace
I don't understand what you want with me
I've done nothing wrong, why punish me?
We'll wash your mind today
Day after day after day
Scrubbing the dirt away
Repeat after me and say
Just say "Know"
Twisted pride
Insta-prison ride
to my cell
Passing mental hell
Fade to grey
Brains are washed away
A world away
A state away
From you
an oppression from your laws
Yeah, I'm against your righteous cause
Why can't you try to compromise?
Grow up and stop feeding us these lies
One track mind
Clawing social climb
Dollar head
turning life to dead
Industry
construction, hard to breathe
A world away
A state away
From me today
We'll wash your mind today
Day after day after day
Scrubbing the dirt away
Repeat after me and say
In my mind
I'll be right in time
Drugs can cure
doors to something more
They won't see
Doomed to repeat our history
A world away
A state away
Stop this pain
stop this
pain...
3. Tragic Memories
So many years
I've lived in torment
I've survived
the aftermath of war
I walk alone
through this arid wasteland
I suffer pain
from this holocaust
Mutated foms of life around me
The earth is scorched and burned completely
My brain has been contaminated
The war is done and ended hatred
Tragic memories
are coming to me
I think of times before the war
My memory fades to a flash of light
I watched it all
the burning and pain
My hopes and dreams quickly turn to ash
Unleash the bombs in rage and fury
Destroy the world I know around me
Radiate waves destroying endless
Passion burns the flames of madness
Nowhere to run
No place to hide
The time is now
The time to die
A chance for life
is now too late
Machines of war
will dominate
The days come and go without a care
A violent ending, I wonder why
They scavage through this hell of endless wreckage
to piece together my shattered life
The minds in which we chose to lead us
betrayed us all
The lies they feed us
they built this hell I'm forced to live in
My bitter life, I long to end it
Tragic memories
are coming to me
4. Blinding the Eye
Wake from this oppression
Make a change for you
The democracy we live by
states were free to choose
Corrupted laws have made us think so little of this is true
The amendments constitute our rights
designed for me and you
(pre-chorus)
They rob and steal you of every cent
To try to solve this country's deficit
To make this world a better place to be
They're fucking you
They're fucking me
But still the world can't see
They fight the war on drugs
against the laws of supply and demand
Spend millions to stop it
I wonder if they can
Headlines read: Another one died
in a drug-related war
I'm tired of all the raids and death
I don't want to hear anymore
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
Why can't you see
It's no way for me
Blind eyes can see
only broken dreams
They raise your taxes to fill their own pockets
What can we do, there's no way to stop it
How can you live when you make next to nothing?
Stand up and speak out, the time has come for change
Why can't you see
It's no way for me
Cry, cry for freedom
and set me free
They're making millions of dollars
But no matter what they do
They can't even feed the homeless
But they need a missile or two
Greed for power and money
Soon their world will fall
Their fascist living makes me think
they don't care at all
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
This state of depression has taken me
My mind is filled with hate
Deeper, I fall deeper
into a non-existant state
The rights of man have been raped from up
and slowly fade away
The economy is shot to hell
and we're the ones who pay
(pre-chorus)
(chorus)
