Staind - Just take it

Take It

I feel like this won′t go away
No matter how hard I try
To squeeze my eyes shut
So I can′t see the pain
In you this pain in me - in me

But everything that I can say to you
Won′t help you - everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it

I know that I am really not here
To represent what I am not clear
About in my head sometimes
I feel fucked up just like you do - like you do

But everything that I can say to you
Won′t help you - everything you need is right in front of you
Try to make it through the daily pain
That you feel - maybe tomorrow won′t be so bad.
It know it
′cause I once felt that way
Nothing I could say
Made it go away
I lived through this
I still feel this
I just live for my tomorrow

Make it go away
Just make it go away
She′ll make it go away

Staind - Can′t Believe

Respect, respect what is found
Respect should abound
Respect everything that you leave
I can′t believe
Can′t believe
And i, I can′t believe
I can′t believe all the travesty
Surrounding me, i, I want to flee
I want to flee from everything
In front of me i
Can′t believe
Never again, trusted in you
Fuck everything that you think I should be
I stand, never again, never again

Can′t believe

Staind - It′s Been Awhile

It′s been a while
Since I could...
Hold my head up high
It′s been a while
Since I first saw you
It′s been a while
Since I could stand
On my own two feet again
And it′s been a while
Since I could call you

And everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
Consequences that I′ve rendered
Have stretched myself beyond my means

It′s been a while
Since I could say
That I wasn′t addicted
It′s been a while
Since I could say
I loved myself as well and...
It′s been a while
Since I′ve gone and fucked things up
Just like I always do
It′s been a while
But all that shit seems to disappear when I′m with you

And everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
Consequences that I′ve rendered
Gone and fucked things up again... again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day
But then I go an fuck things up again

It′s been a while
Since I could...
Look at myself straight
It′s been a while
Since I said I′m sorry
It′s been a while
Since I′ve seen the way
The candles light your face
It′s been a while
But I can still
Remember just the way you taste

Everything I can remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
To me... I know this pain
Can I blame this on my father?
He did the best he could for me

It′s been a while
Since I could...
Hold my head up high
It′s been a while
Since I said I′m sorry

Staind - Change

If ever you had said to me before
That I would live this life that I am
Living now I guess it′s all so strange
To feel the way I do inside but
Have so much that I could feel some
Pride for in my life so why is it that
I feel like this

How do I feel? I′ve been here before,
I′ve felt this
Retreat to a place, a place within me
I need this. keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
Torture me like it used to

I try and try to break away from all the hate
I′m feeling for everyone of you that′s ever
Done me wrong. I need to justify the reasons
For the way I′m living. I guess I can′t cause
I don′t feel like I deserve it

So now the waves they have subsided
And my soul is bleeding I can′t take away
The shame I feel, forgive me

Staind - Epiphany

Your words to me just a whisper
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

′cause it′s always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles
′cause my words get in my way.
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away
′cause I can′t take anymore of this,
I want to come apart,
Or dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

′cause it′s always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention,
Yet I always try to hide
′cause I talk to you like children,
Though I don′t know how I feel
But I know I′ll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

′cause it′s always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

Staind - Fade

I try to breathe
Memories overtaking me
I try to face them but
The thought is too
Much to conceive

I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
That my life became ′cause

I just needed someone to talk to
You were just too busy with yourself
You were never there for me to
Express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I′m older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface
I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

So where were you
When all this I was going through
You never took the time to ask me
Just what you could do

Staind - Rainy Day Parade

You the great pretenders, blood to paint your pictures
While you’re stepping over fallen people lying in the streets
You the great offenders, only your views matter
While your heart grows colder, I wish that you could open up and feel

For a while see if you can take it
Feel, you’re alive and this is all part of it
Feel, could it be that we’re all afraid
′Cause it feels like a rainy day parade

We the great believers, blood is legal tender
I will not surrender what it was our fathers died to bear
We the people stated, not negotiated
Just to be forgotten, I wish that you could open up and see

For a while see if you can take it
See, you’re alive and this is all part of it
See, can’t you see that we’re all afraid
‘Cause it seems like a rainy day parade

What I see is all too real
What I need is what you steal
And all I reap is what you take
Upon my back on which you break
I just wish that we could rise above and feel

For a while see if you can take it
Feel, you’re alive and this is all part of it
Feel could it be that we’re all afraid
‘Cause it feels like a rainy day parade

Staind - All I Want

What I leave,
When you go,
What I see,
And what you show,
And what I guess,
And when I don′t,
Is something you all ready, all ready know,

[Chorus:]
I can′t live without,
All I think about,
All I want is you,
You′re all I dream about,
I can′t live without,
All I want is you,

The things I do,
I go through,
And all I see,
When Im awake,
And what I make,
The shit that I take,
Is something you all ready, all ready know

[Chorus:]
I can′t live without,
All I think about,
All I want is you,
You′re all I dream about,
I can′t live without,
All I want is you,

Ohhh,...
Is you,
Is you,
Is you,
Is you,
You′re all I dream about,
That I can′t live without,
All I want is you

[Chorus:]
I can′t live without,
All I think about,
All I want is you,
You′re all I dream about,
I can′t live without,
All I want is you,
I just can′t live without you,
When all I think about is you,
And all I want is you

Staind - Blow Away

live in my head for just one day
i see myself andlook away
the road is showing now on my face
soon i′ll disappear
I′ll disappear without a fucking trace

[chorus]

faces that i′ve seen turn old and grey
i′ve lost too many freinds along the way
memories i never thought would fade
they fade and blow away

i wish that icould disappear
unzip my skin and leave it here
so i could be no one again
and never let nobody,
i′d let nobody
i′d let nobody in

[chorus]

so now the walls are closing in
because in life you sink or swim
sometimes these shoes don′t feel right in my head
feel like a book that can′t be read,
a book that can′t be,
a book that can′t be read

[chorus]

Staind - Tonight

just try to understand this isn′t what i planned
this ride′s out of my hands
so now i′m forced to be something i can not be
if only i could make you see

[chorus]

tonight i′m alive
i′ve watched you all grow up and so have i
inside this isn′t really what i had in mind
i no longer relate to this world of hate
that′s forced upon my plate
i tend to disagree, i hope its not just me,
alone if only i could make you see

Staind - King Of All Excuses

You, I trusted your intentions a trust you took advantage of now you are sitting in the hole that
you
dug around yourself.

You′ve lied so much you think it′s true
Do you know what the truth is?
How does someone get to be like you?
The king of all excuses?

Is she your partner in deception caught inside the web you′ve spun?
Did you forget that you were family, the damage you have done?

You′ve lied so much you think it′s true
Do you know what the truth is?
How does someone get to be like you?
The king of all excuses?

I trusted you. I trusted in you.

This time you′re gonna get it
All the things you′ve done coming back to you
This time you′re gonna feel it
Your conscience slowly suffocating you
In time you will regret it
Say goodbye to all the things you′ve gotten used to
Life will find a way to bring this karma to you
Life will find a way to bring this karma to you

You′ve lied so much you think it′s true
Do you know what the truth is?
How does someone get to be like you?
The king of all excuses?

Everything must come full circle
It kills me that I feel this hurtful
I wonder what your children think of you,
The king of all excuses.

Staind - Paper Jesus

You take this all for granted. All the things that used to be you. By keeping you distracted just
long
enough to bleed you.

A reason for your anger, it′s what I need, it′s what I need. To recognize the truth it′s what I
need,
it′s what I need. So burn your paper Jesus its what I need, it′s what I need, and all the things you
do,
its what I need, its what I need.

Don′t believe what they tell you, all the lies that they are teaching, when the make the
corporations all
the desperate people stealing.

Somebody chose these words for you. Interpretations of the truth. Somewhere behind your fear they
hide.
To fill the holes inside.

Staind - Take This

I can′t believe how far I′ve come
Watch me stumble and come undone
If you take away, these memories
All that′s left, is just me

[Chorus:]
′Cause I don′t want this
And I don′t take this anymore
And I don′t feel this
It seems that even though she′s with me I can′t shake this
I can′t fake this
And I won′t take this anymore

So you choose to break my heart
I should have seen this from the start
I′m haunted by your apathy
All that′s left is killing me

[Chorus]

Do you believe that the way you choose to be
I′ve always had to see
The brighter side of this so I don′t lose my faith
Now the sun has gone away
It′s getting colder everyday
So before I freeze to death there′s something I should say

I don′t want this
I don′t take this anymore
And I don′t feel this
It seems that even though she′s with me I can′t shake this
And I can′t fake this
And I won′t take this anymore

And though you say you understand you still won′t face this
Can′t erase this
I won′t embrace this anymore

Staind - Pressure

I just need this to be all right
I can′t feel this another night

I can′t take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
Necessary to medicate
I′m not sleeping can′t stay awake

Can′t see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this

Too much pressure
If you need me I′ll be here
Half unconscious to escape my fear

My head hurts this shit isn′t getting me high
My chest is so tight I think I am going to die
My stomach′s in knots and the room starts to spin
As I wait for this valium to slowly kick in

Staind - Schizophrenic Conversations

Are you afraid, afraid of the truth
In the mirror staring back at you.
The image is cracked but so is the view, here.
And the strength of a tree begins in the roots
That I tend bury into you
At least now the storm can′t blow me away.

So crawl inside my head with me.
I′ll show you how it feels to be,
To blame like me.

Should I be afraid of this face that I see
In the mirror staring back at me?
So cold were the days when I listened to you.
And you say that I′m weak so show me the proof
Because I still exist in spite of you
But I won′t compete with you every day.

So crawl inside my head with me.
I′ll show you how it feels to be,
To blame like me.

Schizophrenic conversations that
I′m always having with myself.
I hear these voices in my head competing.
Maybe I could use a little help
I still have schizophrenic conversations
Where there′s no one else around to hear.
I long for solitude and peace within me
Void of all the anger and the fear.

So crawl inside my head with me.
I′ll show you how it feels to be,
Fucked up like me.

I′ll show you how it feels to be
To blame like me
Ashamed like me

Staind - Falling

You in your shell are you waiting for someone to rescue you from yourself.
Don′t be disappointed when no one comes.

Don′t blame me you didn′t get it [3x]

I already told you, that falling is easy it′s getting back up that becomes the problem, becomes the
problem
If you don′t believe that you can find a way out you become the problem, become the problem.

Don′t blame me you didn′t get it [3x]

You, all alone, are you waiting for someone to make you whole?
Can′t you see aren′t you tired of this dysfunctional routine.

I already told you, that falling is easy it′s getting back up that becomes the problem, becomes the
problem
If don′t you believe that you can find a way out you you solve the problem, solve the problem.

Falling is easy it′s getting back up that becomes the problem, becomes the problem
And if you believe you can find a way out
Then you′ve solved the problem, you′ve solved your problem.

Staind - Break Away

Misery
The company it keeps
Is for me
All these things
We keep repeating

Like a wheel
That keeps turning
If I could break away
From this moment
Break away
What is real
Never showing
Break away
How I feel
If I could break away

Apathy
The ignorance it brings
The tragedy
Of all these things
We keep repeating

Like a wheel
That keeps turning
If I could break away
From this moment
Break away
What is real
Never showing
Break away
How I feel
If I could break away

Break away
If I could break away
Just break away
If I could break away
From this moment
Break away
What is real
Break away
Never showing
Break away
How I feel
If I could break away
If I could break away
If I could break away

Staind - Lost Along The Way

We change the rhyme
Forget the reason
Waiting for the
Change of season
Drawing near
It′s almost here
So save tonight
Forget tomorrow
Say goodbye
To time we borrowed
It′s always there
It′s in the air

Like voices in the rain
Like a song without a name
Like angel′s wings
And whisperings
Of love we lost
And found along the way

Do you take the time
To really wollow
In the footsteps
That you follow
Gets you where
Gets you anywhere
So here today
And gone tomorrow
With the time you
Had to borrow
It′s always there
It′s in the air

Like voices in the rain
Like a song without a name
Like angel′s wings
And whisperings
Of love we lost
And found along the way

Like voices in the rain
Like a song without a name
Like angel′s wings
And whisperings
Of time we lost
And found out in the rain
Like a song without a name
Like angel′s wings
And whisperings
Of love we lost
Of love we lost
And found along
The way

We found along the way

Staind - Pardon Me

I′m one stop
From a breakdown
Two steps from
Being safe
Just try to
See this through
I′m three steps
From this nightmare
And four steps
From the door
The rest is
Up to you

Pardon me while I
Just turn my back
And walk away
Pardon me if I
Can′t listen
To the things
You say
Pardon me if I
Can′t fake it
While you still believe
Pardon me

I′m one step
From forgiveness
And two steps
From my grave
We′re all just
Passing through
Three steps
From redemption
Four from the
Devil′s door
On a path
That leads to you

Pardon me while I
Just turn my back
And walk away
Pardon me if I
Can′t listen
To the things
You say
Pardon me if I
Can′t fake this
While you still believe
Pardon me

Pardon me while I
Just turn my back
And walk away
Pardon me if I
Can′t listen
To the things
You say
Pardon me if I
Can′t fake it
While you still believe
Pardon me

I′m two steps
From salvation
But i′m only
Taking one
Pardon me

Staind - Intro

thank you to the people in my life
for putting up with me
and thank you for the time you sacrificed
all on account of me

[chorus]

for all the times i didn′t say
the times i didn′t say
for all the times i didn′t say

like to see what you would do
fuck you and the judgements you make
we′re not all perfect just like you,
like you, like you

Staind - Run Away

I′m still scared. Afraid of failing
Anticipating, the ride to end.
before the wheels begin to move.

(Run away) So I can hide.
(Run away) I′ve mastered feeling nothing.
(Run away) I′m dead inside.
(Run away) Why don′t I care?

Waste my time, commiserating,
Self medicating - it′s my design
Although I know you don′t approve

(Run away) So I can hide.
(Run away) I′ve mastered feeling nothing.
(Run away) I′m dead inside.
(Run away) Why don′t I care?

The truth is that I′m not so good
At showing how I feel.
Or keeping my mouth shut
When there′s something to conceal.
Or knowing how to love,
Love′s not in my memories
How can I rise above
All my insecurities

(Run away) So I can hide.
(Run away) I′ve mastered feeling nothing.
(Run away) I′m dead inside.
(Run away) Why don′t I care?

(Run away) I fight the tide
(Run away) The ebb and flow consuming
(Run away) Still by my side
(Run away) Why should you care?

Staind - Reality

the lights are on but you′re not home
you′ve drifted off somewhere alone
somewhere that′s safe,
no questions here
a quiet place where you hide from your fears

[chorus]

sometimes when you′re out of rope
the way to climb back up′s unclear
the walls you build around yourself
i guess they also keep you here
are you afraid of what they think?
whoever "they" happen to be
or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality?

so you sedate and drown in vain
you′ve got a pill for every day
a suit and tie to mask the truth
its ugly head is starthing to show through

[chorus]

[bridge]

the monster you′re feeding,
your lack of perception
the things that you do
to fullfill your addictions
the light at the end of your tunnel is closing
what is it that you′re so afraid of exposing?
you′d give it all up for what′s theirs for the taking
whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking
the same things you′re thinking might make you feel better
the same things that probably get you here

[chorus]

Staind - Everything Changes

If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?
Would it change how you feel?

I am the mess you chose
The closet you cannot close,
The devil in you I suppose
′Cause the wounds never heal.

[Chorus:]
But everything changes
If I could turn back the years
If you could learn to forgive me
Then I could learn to feel,

Sometimes the things I say
In moments of disarray
Succumbing to the games we play
To make sure that it′s real.

[Chorus]

When it′s just me and you.
Who knows what we could do.
If we can just make it through
The toughest part of the day.

[Chorus]

Stay here together
And we could
Conquer the world
If we could
Say that forever
Is more than just a word.

If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?.
It wouldn′t change how you feel.

Staind - Nothing Left To Say

Talk to me
You never
Talk to me
Do we suffer
From
Social atrophy
And when the conversation′s over
When the conversation′s over

We′ve taken what′s been given
And we throw it all away

Walk with me
Come on and
Walk with me
Take a look
Around you
Do you like
What you see

We′ve taken what′s been given
And we throw it all away
It′s hard to be forgiven
When there′s nothing left to say

When the conversation′s over
The silence just gets in the way
Conversation′s over

Talk to me
Don′t ever
Talk for me

We′ve taken what′s been given
And you throw it all away
It′s hard to be forgiven
When there′s nothing left to say

There′s nothing left to say

Staind - Layne

i heard today that you were gone
i had to stop and sing along
the song they played to say goodbye
a song they gave, give me back life

[chorus]

you′ll never fade
the words you gave
my life you saved
your name was layne
and on that day a child was born
to someone who you helped along
and helped see through his darkest times
because of you, this child she is mine

[chorus]

[bridge]

the words you said, you made me feel like they were all for me
the words you said, they will always be a part of me
the words you said, you made me feel like i was not alone
the words you said, you gave me all the strength to carry on

[chorus (altered)]

so to me you′ll never fade
your life you gave
my life you saved
your name was layne

Staind - Price To Play

Failed to see,
How destructive we can be.
Taking without giving back,
′Til the damage can be seen,
Can you see?
Can you see?

The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.

Apathy, the chosen way to be,
Blindly look the other way,
While you waste away with me,
Can you see?
Can you see?

The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.

What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game.

The more you take,
The more you blame,
But everything still feels the same.
The more you hurt,
The more you strain,
The price you pay to play the game,
Then all you see,
And all you gain,
And all you step on with no shame,
There are no rules,
No one to blame,
The price you pay to play the game.

What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game,
What you pay to play the game.

Staind - Yesterday

you don′t know what you′ve put me through
it′s okay, i′ve forgiven you
but in some way, hope it fucks with you
hope it fucks with you

[pre-chorus]
that i′m okay and i′ve made it through
but who′s to say what you′re going through
i′ll say no names, though i′ve wanted to
isn′t it strange how it seems like...

[chorus]
yesterday, a boy and already afraid
locked deep inside, my place to hide
to hide from how you made me feel
and i wonder how′s your brother
did he end up fucked up like me?
lost in himself, crying for help it′s safe to say
i learned to live without a pride
just a shell, with me stuck on the inside
a prison, not a place to hide
not a place to hide

[pre-chorus]

[chorus]
[chorus (altered)]

yesterday, a boy and already afraid
locked deep inside, my place to hide
to hide from how you made me feel

did he finally pull through like me?
finding himself, not needing help
i′d like to say

Staind - Something Like Me

Shards of broken pieces
Shattered on the floor
Its not enough to bleed

Tears and angry voices
Cracks around the door
No apologies

And every time you say you love me
I just have to stop and catch my breath
How can somebody love something like me
If you could only say your sorry
There is nothing in this world I can′t forget
Waiting here for you to set me free

Toys and colored pencils
Scattered on the floor
Underneath my feet

You′re always crying over nothing
You′re always wanting more
You never go to sleep

But every time you say you love me
I just have to stop and catch my breath
How can somebody love something like me
And every time I feel im falling
She′ll be there to save me from myself
Little angel watching over me

Our taxis in the driveway
Our bags are at the door
And it still kills me to leave

But every time you say you love me
I just have to stop and catch my breath
How can somebody love something like me
And every time I feel im falling
Your the one′s who saved me from myself
You give me something to believe

And with you here
These cracks and tears
Fade away

Staind - Suffer

The more you see the more you do
The television′s feeding you. with what
You want to hear, anger and fear, because you suffer

The hate you feel won′t go away you′re all programmed to
Feel this way to live another day within a world
That loves to suffer

And then I come to find everything′s o.k. seen this all
Before but that was yesterday. I try to walk right
Through the messes that I′ve made just let me enjoy
The life here that I′ve made

I′ve tried to give it all to you. can′t take anymore to do
With this. it hurts inside. I know why I hide ′cause
I suffer

I tried to keep it all inside didn′t leave me too much
Pride forced it all down inside forced myself to make
Me suffer

And then I come to find everything′s o.k. seen this all
Before but that was yesterday. I try to walk right
Through the messes that I′ve made just let me enjoy
The life here that I′ve made

And then I come to find

Staind - Zoe Jane

Well I want you to notice
To notice when I′m not around
And I know that your eyes see straight through me
And speak to me without a sound

[Chorus:]
I want to hold you
Protect you from all of the things I′ve already endured
I want to show you
Show you all the things that this life has in store for you
I′ll always love you
The way that a father should love his daughter

When I walked out this morning
I cried as I walked to the door
I cried about how long I′d be away for
I cried about leaving you all alone

[Chorus]

Sweet Zoe Jane [x2]

So I wanted to say this
Cuz I wouldn′t know where to begin
To explain to you what I have been through
To explain where your daddy has been

[Chorus]

Sweet Zoe Jane [x2]

Staind - Fill Me Up

i just had to let you know
cuz i don′t always let it show
you give me needed room to grow
and i just had to tell you so

[chorus]

you fill me up,
you′re in my veins
a look could take my breath away
and all these things, you give away
sometimes i take for granted
it′s just like poetry inside to hear you breathing by my side
like i′m in heaven and i′ve died
so glad you′re with me for this ride

[chorus]

i see your face to start my day
makes all my bad dreams go away
and all the stupid games we play
wouldn′t have it any other way

Staind - Could It Be

well i don′t know what to say
because there′s truth to what you say
i know it kills you i′m this way
there′s something different every day

[chorus]

could it be that i never had the chance to grow inside?
Could it be that my habit is to find a place to hide?
could it be that sometimes i say things just to disagree?
could it be that i′m only being me?

not easy living in my mind
a little peace is hard to find
my every thought is undermined
by all the history inside

[chorus]

[bridge]

i know i hear the words you said
over and over again
i just can′t get them through my head
there′s just too many voices
must be like living with the dead
waiting for me to begin
to do the things i have said
and for this i′m sorry
so there′s some truth to what you say

Staind - Fray

i know that it never goes away
all i feel, everything i′m not today
so i try and i try to make everything right
i don′t feel like i′m doing it, it affects me

[chorus]

you wouldn′t listen even if i told you
who the fuck am i to say?
you′re too busy with the lies they sold you
another cure to fix your day
open wide for all the shit they feed you
while the TV defecates
and blindly walk wherever they will lead you
while the edges slowly fray

i know that everything can change
what i need is to open up again
so never again will i look back in vain
cuz today′s not the past,
i don′t need to relive it

[chorus]

are you satisfied?
i′ve given all i can and are you pacified
or do you want more from me?

[chorus]

i′ve learned that this life′s not just a game
just a line between the pleasures and the pain

Staind - The Corner

It sheltered me from nothing but the weather
I called it home for a moment of my life
This place I see just doesn′t look familiar
I wonder if it looks the same inside

So there′s the corner that I sat on
The road I walked home in the rain
And there′s the star I used to wish on
It all just seems like yesterday

Days go by
Nothing′s getting clearer
Can′t change my mind
My troubles are the same
Faces change
The names they are familiar
And the streets I see
Will stand the test of time

So there′s the corner that I sat on
The road I walked home in the rain
And there′s the star I used to wish on
It all just seems like yesterday

And those stars
Stars still shine
Shine down through the rain

And there′s the corner that I sat on
The road I walked home in the rain
And there′s the star I used to wish on
It all just seems like yesterday

And I stare out this dirty window
As this world goes slowly by
And somewhere out there is the future
That I once thought had passed me by

Sheltered me from nothing but the weather

Staind - Falling Down

What′s happened to you?
It′s obvious you′ve changed
Something deep inside you is probably to blame
Must be lonely up there with your head up in the clouds
Even though you got there what does your conscience tell you now?

[Chorus:]
It′s never the same on the way down
How does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground?
When all of your bridges aren′t around
And the sandcastles you built are falling down

You had us all sitting right there in your hand
But you had to fall because that′s how this life is
Got your fingers burned by burning candles at both ends
Now the table′s turned and now your demons are your freinds

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

So now I question what you′re gonna do
Now that everything′s gone with you
You believe the shit you say is true
But everybody′s on to you
Life remembers everything you do
Your karma has caught up with you

[Chorus]

Staind - Warm Safe Place

Another day inside my world
Im married to you and this road
This road that do not let me sleep
So theres no way to escape these demons I am forced to keep
Then I find, you here
Thru your eyes everythings clear
And I′m home inside your arms
But I′m alone for now
I mean the best with what I say
It doesnt always sound that way
I never learned to work things out
Cuz in my family all we ever seemed to do is shout
Then I find, you here
Thru your eyes everythings clear
And I′m home inside your arms
But I′m alone for now
And when I try to sleep
The drugs I take are killing me
I think of you to ease my pain
But you′re so far
And now it′s time to say goodbye
I love you baby, please don′t cry
Then I find, you here
Thru your eyes everythings clear
And I′m home inside your arms
But I′m alone for now

Staind - How About You

if someone else showed you the way
would you take the wheel and steer?
it hurts me that you′re not ashamed
of what you′re doing here
if they jumped off a bridge
would you meet them on the ground?
or would you try and claim
that it never made a sound

[Chorus]
everyone plays the hand they′re dealt
and learns to walk through life themselves
not everything in life is handed on a plate
when people think your words are true
it doesn′t matter what you do
i sold my soul to get here
how ′bout you?

so you choose to force your hand
what a strange way to make friends
and you always change the rules
so the drama never ends
and you blindly go through life
judging only by its worth
just try not to forget
that the meek inherit earth

[Chorus]

so please don′t take offense
this is just a point of view
cuz i′m the only one who
will say these things to you

[Chorus]

Staind - Believe

I sit alone and watch the clock
Trying to collect my thoughts
All I think about is you
And so I cry myself to sleep
And hope the devil I don′t meet
In the dreams that I live through

Believe in me
I know you′ve waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life is not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams

All the smiles you had to fake
And all the shit you had to take
Just to lead us here again
I never have the things to say
To make it all just go away
To make it all just disappear

Believe in me
I know you′ve waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life is not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams

Its my life
Its my choice
Hear my words
Hear my voice
And just believe

I sit alone and watch the clock
Trying to collect my thoughts
And all I think about is you

If you believe in me
Life is not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams

Believe in me
I know you′ve waited for so long
Believe in me
Sometimes the weak become the strong
Believe in me
This life is not always what it seems
Believe in me
Cause I was made for chasing dreams

Staind - Save Me

This dark road
Another cigarette
I′m getting sick of this
The end is near
I′m in the thick of it
And i′ll be there soon
If you can handle it

Just save me
From all that I am
You save me
For the f**k of it
Save me
Just hold out your hand
You save me
From all of it

I try to speak myself
You can do it too
I need no one′s help
I′m needing only you
So just pray for me
And deliver it
You never take from me
What i′m giving

Just save me
From all that I am
You save me
For the f**k of it
Save me
Just hold out your hand
You save me
From all of it

And all that i′ve become
Is you
The only good in me
Is you
And after all of this
The day will come to find out
Will you take me
Or forsake me
So pray for me
Am I forgiven
For what you take from me

Just save me
From all that I am
You save me
For the f**k of it
Save me
Just hold out your hand
You save me
From all of it
Come save me

Pray for me
Am I forgiven

Staind - So Far Away

this is my life
its not what it was before
all these feelings i′ve shared
and these are my dreams
that i′d never lived before
somebody shake me
′cause i
i must be sleeping

[chorus]
now that we′re here,
it′s so far away
all the struggle we thought was in vain
all the mistakes,
one life contained
they all finally start to go away
now that we′re here its so far away
and i feel like i can face the day i can forgive
and i′m not ashamed to be the person that i am today

these are my words
that i′ve never said before
i think i′m doing okay
and this is the smile
that i′ve never shown before

somebody shake me ′cause i
i must be sleeping

i′m so afraid of waking
please don′t shake me
afraid of waking
please don′t shake me

Staind - This Is It

Here we are
Theres nowhere else to go
And thats so far
From where we all could be
But you can′t feel my disappearing
And you should take this for what it′s worth

This is it
And it fits
And it feels like this is good enough for me
Could it be
That the grass is always green?

There you are
You dream of something better
What′s so wrong
With what you thought was true and
All the colors are disappearing
But you should take this for what it′s worth

This is it
And it fits
And it feels like this is good enough for me
Could it be
That the grass is always green?

This is it (this is it)
This is it (this is it)

If you feel like disappearing
You should take this for what it′s worth

This is it
And it fits
And it feels like this is good enough for me
Could it be
That the grass is always green?

This is it

Staind - Cross To Bear

Twisting, turning, crashing, burning,
All this just to break me down.

You don′t know me
You don′t see me
You don′t own me because I don′t care.
But I′m still here,
Patiently waiting for you to disappear.
Is this my cross to bear?

Faceless, faking, pushing, taking,
All this just to bring me down.

[x1]
You don′t know me
you don′t see me
you don′t own me because I don′t care.
But I′m still here,
Patiently waiting for you to disappear.
Is this my cross to bear?

You don′t know me,
You don′t own me cause I′m aware.
And I′m still here,
Patiently waiting for you to disappear.
Is this my cross to bear?

I′m still here,
Reluctantly waiting for you to interfere.
This is my cross to bear

Staind - Raining Again

A piece of glass
In the sand under your feet
It cuts you deep
And makes you hate the beauty
That you see
And you wonder where you are
How you ever got so far
Now you question what went wrong
It′s your heart

It′s raining again
There′s a dark cloud
Over your head
It follows you ′round
It′s bringing you down
It′s raining
It′s raining again

A wilted rose
Your decay is all you see
You buy the flaws
And miss the beauty
That is yours for free
Realize you are so far
From the things that matter now
And you only wonder how
It′s your heart

It′s raining again
There′s a dark cloud
Over your head
It follows you ′round
It′s bringing you down
It′s raining
It′s raining again

Come on
Come on get it right
Come on
Come on make it right
Come on
Come on it′s alright

It′s raining again
There′s a dark cloud
Over your head
It follows you ′round
It′s bringing you down
It′s raining
It′s raining again

It′s raining
Raining again
There′s a dark cloud
Over your head

Staind - Devil

She sits alone again
And tries her best not to pretend
That all she used to live for
Was the love that wasn′t there

And every time she needs to do the things
That she believes
Will fill the void inside of her
Because he was never there

[2x]
And she says, ′I swear I′m not the devil,
Though you think I am.
I swear I′m not the devil′

He tries to sleep again
And wonders when the pain will end
The cuts, they may run deeper than his cracking outer shell

He looks with tired eyes
At all the people hypnotized
And wonders what will save him
From his self created hell.

[2x]
And he says, ′I swear I′m not the devil,
Though you think I am.
I swear I′m not the devil′

I always fail to see the little things in front of me
The things that mean so much to you; a way to let you know.
That I appreciate the way you always tolerate
But sometimes when I medicate
Frustration in you shows me how you feel.

But I swear I′m not the devil,
Though you think I am.
I swear I′m not the devil

And I scream,
I swear I′m not the devil.
Though you think I am.
I swear I′m not the devil.

Staind - Reply

I have seen to many sad eyes look at me,
Eyes that set me free,
All the places that I′ve been.

Thank you for the letters that you thought you wrote in vain
And for the times you chose to stand out in the rain and wait for me,
For me.

Your words,
Your words help me to see
A little honesty
In a world that doesn′t share
And your eyes
Tell the story of your pain
Severity of your disdain
In a world that doesn′t care.

So thank you for the letters that you thought you wrote in vain
And for the times you chose to stand out in the rain and wait

You, you understand my pain.
From this I gather strength,
In that we are the same.

So thank you for the letters that you thought you wrote in vain
And for the times you chose to stand out in the rain and wait

The life I live will never be the same without you here

Staind - The Way I Am

I′m not very good at just paying attention
I′m not very good at remembering things that you say
I′m not very good at persuing redemption
I′m not very good at concealing the hand that I play

[chorus]
It′s the way I am, you′ll never change
The way I am, or re arrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it′s the way I am

I′m not really sure of the coming attractions
I′m not really sure of the illusions we read on the wall
I′m not really sure of the preaching we practice
I′m not really sure if we notice it before we fall

[chorus]
It′s the way I am, you′ll never change
The way I am, or re arrange
The way I am, just let me be
The way I am, it′s the way I am

I′m not very good at just paying attention
I′m not very good at remembering things
I′m not very good at pursuing redemption
I′m not very good at concealing the hand that I play

When I′m trying so hard just to beat you
I′m not really good at controlling my fate
I′m not really good at controlling my anger
I′m not really good at subduing my hate
I′m not really good [x3]

Staind - Please

Can′t you see that I′m sick of this?
Chances are you′re oblivious to how I feel
Sitting on your throne, and I′m sure that I′m not alone,
Not alone, not alone.

Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn′t see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I′m still wearing this miserable skin
And it′s starting to tear from within
But it′s obvious that doesn′t bother you, so please

I didn′t think that you′d sell me out
Now I know what you′re all about.
You might feel in control of things.
But you′re not holding all the strings.
All the strings, all the strings.

Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn′t see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I′m still wearing this miserable skin
And it′s starting to tear from within
But it′s obvious that doesn′t matter to you,
So please

I′ve swallowed all your answers
I′ve swallowed all my pride
You′ve used up all your chances
Can′t keep this all inside

Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn′t see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I′m still wearing this miserable skin
And it′s starting to tear from within
But it′s obvious that doesn′t bother you

So please don′t keep telling me that it′s ok
I don′t buy all the shit that you say
And quite honestly I′m fucking sick of it
so please if I cut off this nose from my face
Then I wouldn′t feel so out of place
But it still wouldn′t be quite enough for you,
so please.

Staind - For You

To my mother to my father
It′s your son or it′s your daughter
Are my screams loud enough for
You to hear me? should I turn this up for you?

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you′ve said
The silence gets us nowhere,
Gets up nowhere way too fast.

The silence is what kills me
I need someone here to help me
But you don′t know how to listen
And let me make my decision

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you′ve said
The silence gets us nowhere,
Gets up nowhere way too fast.

All your insults and your curses
Make me feel like I′m not a person.
And I feel like I am nothing.
But you made me so do something.
Cause I′m fucked up because you are
I need attention, attention you couldn′t give.

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you′ve said
The silence gets us nowhere,
Gets up nowhere way too fast.

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you′ve said
The silence gets us nowhere,
Gets up nowhere way too fast.

Staind - Right Here

I know I′ve been mistaken
But just give me a break and see the changes that I′ve made
I′ve got some imperfections
But how can you collect them all and throw them in my face

But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if you chose to walk away I′d still be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting

I hope you′re not intending
To be so condescending it′s as much as i can take
and you′re so independent
you just refuse to bend so I keep bending till I break

But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if you chose to walk away I′d still be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting

I′ve made a commitment
I′m willing to bleed for you
I needed fulfillment
I found what I need in you

Why can′t you just forgive me
I don′t want to relive all the mistakes I′ve made along the way
But I always find a way to keep you right here waiting
I always find the words to say to keep you right here waiting

But you always find a way
To keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if I chose to walk away would you be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say to keep me right here waiting

Staind - Open Your Eyes

As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of people′s feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof overhead
A crackhead asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do

A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation there′s no room in jail
But most of you don′t give a shit
That your daughters are porno stars
And your sons sell death to kids
You′re so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you′ll never fix

You turn away
As I walk along the streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain
