Put up with everything and got nothing in return Do I dare, or could you spare Just a moment of your time? Just so I could tell the story of this broken state of mind All you ever did was beg me plead me All I ever hear is that you need me But now that time has gone away And you’ve got nothing You’ve got nothing to say It’s okay, just put me on hold again so I can buy my good intentions And lay all my loving words to rest Is this how you want it? Back on the line Just in time Just so you can turn the tables and break my peace of mind All you ever did was beg me plead me All I ever hear is that you need me But now that time has gone away And you’ve got nothing You’ve got nothing to say And I’ve lost all hope Think I’m gonna choke It’s a tight rope act On the line between love and hate And I’m falling I’m falling I’m falling down All you ever did was beg me plead me All I ever hear is that you need me But now that time has gone away And you’ve got nothing You’ve got nothing to say All you ever did was beg me plead me All I ever hear is that you need me But now that time has gone away And you’ve got nothing You’ve got nothing to say

Did you ever think that we’re all just insane? Playing at life just like a casual game Knowing little other than that we must Adapt or die and be left in the dust? Well I know Well I can see ‘Cause there’s a thousand pairs of eyes And they’re all pointed right at me And now I don’t know what to say And now I’m running away ‘Cause I am starting to shake And now I’m running away ‘Cause I have got no reason to stay Did you ever wake up a brand new gent But wondered just where the old you went? Tried to figure out how the straight and narrow got bent Or from whom this confusion has been sent I don’t know I can’t see ‘Cause there’s a thousand pairs of eyes And they’re all pointed right at me And now I don’t know what to say And now I’m running away ‘Cause I am starting to shake And now I’m running away ‘Cause I have got no reason to stay

I am pacing And I'm tripping on my words like untied shoelaces Cause I've lost my Simple mind just trying to earn your smile But does the truth mean the same thing in my mouth As when I shouted it out so young and proud? I am just a well-dressed liar Leaving bouquets to throw you off my trail I am taking A long drive down into the deepest part Of my heart and if there's love there I can feel like I am true As clever phrases are rolling off my tongue Like bullets from the barrel of a gun That I've loaded with year-old tears I hope that they still taste somewhat sincere Will the kind words I said in the winter still survive Even after those frigid days have closed their eyes? Do the ghosts of your lovers past still haunt your mind? Do they leap from their graves and shout, "We are still alive!"? Am I falling too fast or just losing my mind?

Good memories, they age like a fine wine But the bad ones grow worse by the day Dry up and decay Good dreams are so few and far between But the nightmares are here to stay Won’t go away Won’t go away I will never understand it Broken hearts and empty hands, yeah All my good deeds have come back to bite me Surely my sins will help me be saved Seems the more I want clarity, the more I am blinded And the more I wanted freedom, the longer my chains The more I’m betrayed I will never understand it Broken hearts and empty hands, yeah

Recreation, reanimation cannot possibly explain The wretched form of a mangled beast born from a madman’s brain Disowned and cast into the unknown by a creator unprepared to face this day The only one of his kind, brilliant sadistic mind, born to take the light away And now he’s coming back again And now he’s taking his revenge Iron wrought into a skeleton to carry out his evil cause He has no doubts His ambitions won’t be denied Nobody can overcome the trance in the chasms of his cavernous eyes And now he’s coming back again And now he’s taking his revenge Iron wrought into a skeleton to carry out his evil cause

I've been dreaming that I was drowning in the sea And every kind word I ever heard was floating around me And I am sinking, I am sinking, I am sinking in the thinking of the memories And as they wandered by I tried to quickly snatch them up And stuff them in my pockets but I sadly had no luck So I sank to the bottom with nothing to my name Just photographs to relieve the pain And as I sat there sad and lonely on the ocean floor I watched my life float to the surface and thought, “There must be something more to this ‘living’ thing That I’m just not getting” But with every day that passed I always found that I still was The only man among some fish And it was all just because I do this to myself Home is gone and there's no going back The thought that confronts me now Is that I've wasted the time I had All the old familiar places, all these streets won't know my name I'll be somebody different soon Though I wish I could stay the same And now I'm feeling like a child who has not been born A new life is waiting for me, but I just cannot cut the cord And if there exists a God, he's out there for me to find But closer to home I know that I've got problems that are wasting all my time Home is gone and there's no going back The thought that confronts me now Is that I've wasted the time I had All the old familiar places, all these streets won't know my name I'll be somebody different soon Though I wish I could stay the same Now the clock is ticking much too fast Cause these last few years have already passed And these final few moments are slipping through my fingers like sand from the hourglass But now the clock is ticking much too slow It shakes in my hands as they prepare to let go But the hands on the clock just won’t let go of mine I'm out of time
