DONE
NOTHING /
You don't know what you want to be/you don't know whatyou want to do/never going to amount to much of anything/so what's the differ-ence if you win or lose?/well that's something/well isn't that something/youhave done nothing and it's never your fault/you've done nothing/don't carewhere your friends have gone because you never really needed them anyway/nevergoing to be exactly who you are because you try too hard to be just like them/you've got brains in your head/feet in your shoes/you can steer yourslf anywayyu choose/you're on your own/and you know what you know/and it's up to you todecide where you'll go/

NOT
AFRAID /
I didn't want a second chance/nowthat's exactly where
I am/back where
I didn't want to be/back where
I knewyou'd find me out/
I've never been afraid of you/
I never will admit the truth/
I know there's something
I can do/
I'm not afraid to face myself/but is it meor something else?/makes me exactly what
I am/that's something
I will alwaysdoubt /
DISCONNECTED / you don't know a thing about me/is there something thatyou should know?/
I can tell you what you want to hear/let your inhibitionsjust go/no you don't know what you will give up/you don't knwo what you want/it may take you years to find out/you don't know what you need/it's somethingthat may never come to you/trust is something that comes easy/when you'venever been a victim/lies and promises and words are said/it's your decision toaccept them /
NO
AUTHORITY / there is someone who knows everything there is toknow/there is someone who is too afraid to let it show/we live by consequences/we never seem to get it right/conflict of circumstances/and sometimes we maylose a fight/wouldn't you know/something is going wrong/wouldn't you know/something is really wrong/no you have no authority/no
I am who
I want to be/there are those of us who just sit back and never try/there are those of uswho just sit back and never wonder why /
I
WANT / everybody wants the truth/but everybody lies/everybody wants proof/but everybody's blind/so open youreyes/
I really don't know much of anything at all/but
I'll admit we're all thesame/you ask for forgiveness and make the same mistakes/and
I'll admit we'reall the same/
I want to know/do these words mean anything?/how can this lifemean something more than what it seems?/everybody wants equality/but we're allprejudice/we're all hypocrites/everybody wants the world/but we have nothing /
YOU'
VE
GOT
A
PROBLEM / so what's the problem now this time?/
I thought you'dlearn by now that nothing ever works out right/you want to take away the edge/you tell me it's the only thing that helps you to forget/you've made yourpromises/that's not enough this time/there's only so much you can squanderfrom a feeble mind/you've got a problem with your life/you've got a problemwith your mind/don't try to tell me that you think it's gonna work out fine/so go ahead and try to hide/the world around you watches on as you destroyyour life/do what your problem says/there's not a lot of time /
EVERYTHING
ISEVERYTHING /
We've got a lot of questions/we've got a lot to learn/so tired ofsolving problems/too many bridges burned/we see it all too clearly and stillwe close our eyes/who should we understand it?/what good is knowing why?/
Iknow that life can be filled with these changes/
I know there's time when
Ifell like
I'm failing/
I know something in my life will change again/
Now
I'vegot a lot of questions/
I've got a lot to learn/
I'm tired of solving problems/too many bridges burned/
I can't change the past/
I want to move ahead/
I want tounderstand it/give me the reason why/
I'm tired of running these circles in mylife/
I've seen the future it changes before my eyes and
I know there's some-thing that's going to change in my life/
I know something in my life willchange again /

TRYING / 4 year old at play/shot and killed today/nevereven had a chance/17 and high/threw away his life/has a gun to feel like he'sa man/can't have it any other way/laying in the street/asking for a drink/dosen't have a place to love/pregnant at 13/still can hear the screams/some-thing that she never will forget/can't have it any other way/
I'm trying toopen my mind/so you can keep your faith/and
I'll just walk away/there's noreason for me to stay/
I'm trying to open my mind/
I'm trying to make up my mind/
PASTEL / another falls in place/you wonder if you're only human/it's blood,dust and paste/we're held together by a single thread/must be a reason for usto justify it/but no one will defy it/
What is it with this place/or is it that
I'm missing something?/you want to see my face/when
I can't even see it for my-self/
I don't want a game that
I don't know how to play/just go away/and
Idon't want to know how to play/can't
I make it just go away?/don't you under-stand what these problems will demand?/make it just go away/
I don't want agame that
I don't know ho to play/just go away /
NOTHING
NEW / there is some-thing new/put in front of you/nothing you don't understand/don't try to ration-alize/no one hears your lies/only you can comprehend/you don't want to see/youdon't want to hear/you don't want to feel at all/tell me that you've tried/mind is open wide/but you're not listening at all/please don't question me
Idon't have the time/if there's a problem then it's easier to set aside/thereis nothing that will make you want to change your mind/you can't take it/youcan't make it so why try /
WALK
AWAY / don't wanyt to hear what you said/don'twant to kick you in the head/don't want to live my life that way/don't want togive in but
I don't want to be victimized/don't want to live my life that way/walk away/try to see things in a different way/don't want to tell you yourplace/don't want to get in your face /
DO
YOU
CARE / do you want to make adifference?/do you wonder what would happen if you don't?/do you need just alittle push?/do you try to change?/do you think about the other guy?/do youwant just one good reason why you should?/do you only think about yourself?/doyou want to be left alone?/you're running out of time/and
I don't see a changein you/and
I don't think you're gonna make it/do you understand the way itworks?/do you want to take as much as you get?/do you need a little push?/doyou try to change?/we're running out of time and there aren't changes made/and
I don't think we're going to make it / 1,000
X /
I've tried to ask thequestion/must be a million answers that just aren't there/you try to find yourself/
I'll try to live my life/
I just don't care/take a look at your life/tellme can you say you've done no wrong?/ask yourself the question/do you realizewhere you belong?/
I've been down/
I've been out/
I've been there/
I've been downthis road a thousand times/nothing ever looks the same/it seems there's some-thing more
I might never see-
