Godsmack Album

In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man,
Now I've reached that age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can.
No matter how I try,
I find my way into the same old jam.

Good times, bad times,
You know I've had my share;
When my woman left home
For a brown eyed man,
And I still don't seem to care.

Sixteen: I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be,
She only took a couple of days
Till she was rid of me.

Swore that she would be all mine
And love me till the end,
When I whispered in her ear
I lost another friend.

Good times, bad times,
You know I've had my share;
When my woman left home
For a brown eyed man,
And I still don't seem to care.

I know what it means to be alone,
I sure do wish that I was at home.
And I don't care what my neighbors say,
I'm gonna love you each and every day.
You can feel the heat within my heart.
Realize, sweet baby, we ain't never gonna part.

And I wonder day to day
I don't like you anyway
I don't need your shit today
You pathetic in your own way
I feel for you
better fuckin' go away
I will behave
I'm doing the best I ever did
I'm doing the best that I can
Now go away
I don't need to fantasize
You are my pets all the time
I don't mind if you go blind
You get what you get

Sickness spilling through your eyes,
Craving everything you thought was alive,
Stab me in heart again
Drag me through your wasted life
Are you forever dead?
Do like I told you, stay away from me
Never misunderstand me, Keep away from me
Twistin' everything around that you say
Smack me in my mouth 200 times every other day
Rag me, I don't hear you anymore,
Not yet, Find out what it means to me,
I don't know who you are
Draggin' on so lonely, aren't you tired baby.
Breathing life into your lungs

Candles raise my desire
Why I'm so far away
No more meaning to my life
No more reason to stay
Freezing feeling, Breathe in--Breathe in
I'm coming back again
I'm not the one who's so far away
When I feel the snake bite enter my veins
Never did I wanna be here again
And I don't remember why I came
Hazing clouds rain on my head
Empty thoughts fill my ears
Find my shade by the moon light
Why my thoughts aren't so clear
Demons dreaming
Breathe in--Breathe in
I'm coming back again
VooDoo, I'm not the one

Can you feel I'm not life you anymore
I can't see, I can't breathe
See you quiver like the dogs on the streets
Looking down on as I beat you
It's bad religion, from a broken nation
It's contradiction
And I can't take it anymore
who's to say I won't like you anyway
Take a deep breath, I'm alive
Can you feel me, I'm alive inside of you...
It's a bad religion, from a broken nation
It's a contradiction
And I can't take it any fucking way!
Can't you feel it? I gotta live with it everyday
I can't take the pressure, I'm going insane

Wait another minute. 
Can't you see what this pain has fucking done to me?
I'm alive and still kickin'. 
What you see I can't see...
and maybe you'll think before you speak.
I'm alive for you. 
I'm awake because of you.
I'm alive I told you. 
I'm awake swallowing you.
Take another second. 
Turn your back on me...
and make believe that you're always happy.
It's safe to say you're never alive. 
A big part of you has died.
And by the way...
I hope you're satisfied.
Tearing it back unveiling me.
Taking a step back so I can breathe.
Hear the silence about to break.

Two faced! 
I feel you crawling under my skin.
Sickened by your face.
By the way...
To think that your so fucking kind?
...You ain't!
Hard to find how I feel...
Especially when your smothering me.
Hard to find how I feel...
Please someone help me!
I knew when an angel whispered into my ear...
"You gotta get him away."
Hey little bitch! 
Be glad you finally walked away...
Or you may have not lived another day.
Hard to find how I feel...
Especially when your smothering me.
Hard to find how I feel...
Please someone help me.
Hard to find how I feel...
Controlling me every step of the way.
Hard to find how I feel...

From Scorpion King Soundtrack

I've told you this once before can't control me
If you try to take me down you're gonna break
I feel your having nothing that you're doing for me
I'm thinkin you are a fake, you are that way
I stand alone
Inside I stand alone
You're always hiding behind your so called goddess
So what you don't think that we can't see your face
Resurrecting back before the final fallen
I'll never rest until I can make my own way
I'm not afraid of fading
I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not tired forever
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside I stand alone
Now it's my time
It's my time to dream
Dream of the sky
Make me believe that this place isn't made by the poison in me
Help me decide if my fire will burn out before you can breathe
Breathe into me
I stand alone
Inside I stand alone
Feeling your sting down inside me
I'm not tired forever
I stand alone
Everything that I believe is fading
I stand alone
Inside I stand alone

There's no reason, there's no compromise
Change in seasons, living the high life
I don't know you so don't freak on me
I can't control you, you're not my destiny

Straight out of line
I can't find a reason why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason, you don't need to lie to me

I'll confess this: you're my tragedy
I laid you to rest just as fast as you turned on me
Gone forever, banished the memories
Displays of pleasure are masked by your misery

Straight out of line
I can't find a reason why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason, you don't need to lie to me
Lie to me

Straight out of line
I can't find a reason why I should justify my ways
Straight out of line
I don't need a reason, you don't need to
Don't need to lie to me
Lie to me
Lie to me

As I sit here and slowly close my eyes
I take another deep breath
And feel the wind pass through my body
I'm the one in your soul
Reflecting the light
Protect the ones who hold you
Cradling your inner child

It's serenity
In a place where I can hide
I need serenity
Nothing changes, days go by

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when I thought mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Tragic visions slowly stole my life
Tore away everything
Cheating me out of my time
I'm the one who loves you
No matter wrong or right
And every day I hold you
I hold you with my inner child

It's serenity
In a place where I can hide
I need serenity
Nothing changes, days go by

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when I thought mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Where do we go when we just don't know
And how do we relight the flame when it's cold
Why do we dream when I thought mean nothing
And when will we learn to control

Decisions made from desperation
No way to go
Internal instincts craving isolation
For me to grow

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

Fell in a river of illusion
And apathy
Drowning in a self-induced confusion
I'd rather be

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

My fears come alive
In this place where I once died
Demons dreaming
Knowing I...I just needed to realign

Can’t find the answers
I’ve been crawling on my knees
Looking for anything
To keep me from drowning
Promises have been turned to lies
Can't even be honest inside
Now I’m running backward
Watching my life wave me goodbye

Running blind
I’m running blind
Somebody help me see I’m running blind

Searching for nothing
Wondering if I'll change
I’m trying everything
But everything still stays the same
I thought if I showed you I could fly
Wouldn't need anyone by my side
Now I'm running backward
With broken wings I know I’ll die

Running blind
I’m running blind
Somebody help me see I’m running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind

I can't find the answers
I've been crawling on my knees
Looking for anything
To keep me from drowning
I'm running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind
Running blind

Find a way
A way to be
You're looking down again
Just let it be
And I'd only do for you what you'd do for me
And I only would do for you what you'd do for me

Wastin' time like it was free
Will you ever find where you'll be
And I'd only do for you what you'd do for me
And I only would do for you what you'd do for me
And I only would do for you what you'd do for me yeeeeah
And I only would do for you what you'd do for me

Ohhhh... don't look back just to lean on me
Ohhhh... it's taken the life out of me
It's not like you'd know
You've never been close enough
Closer than you've been to me
It's not what you say
It's just in the way
You push me awaaay

And I only would do for you what you'd do for me yeeeeeah
And I only would do for you what you'd do for me yeeeeeah
And I only would do for you what you'd do for me

Free, you better love me
And hide or run away
From all your yesterdays

Speak the truth, or make your peace among the way, oh yea, yea
I never knew, but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!

And way beyond your controlling mind (mind)
And no more believing in all your precious lies

Speak the truth, or make your peace among the way, oh yea, yea
I never knew, but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!
Speak the truth, or make your peace among the way, oh yea, yea, yea
I never knew, but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!

Speak the truth, or make your peace among the way, oh yea, yea
I never knew, but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!
Speak the truth, or make your peace among the way, oh yea, yea
I never knew, but I believe that you trust in me
Speak to me!
Speak
Speak
Speak
Speak
Speak!

So tired sleeping through the day
Bloodshot eyes and sweat from my body
And I picked my head up yesterday
Found the reason of hope left inside of me

But I still believe in immortal love
And I know there's someone above

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
Shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground

Haunted silence overwhelming me
Deny takes it's toll on my sanity
And I know I've been away too long
All these years I've been hiding
I'm feeling I'm coming strong

But I still believe in immortal love
And I know there's someone that's up above
Show me a path to find my way
And give me a reason pray

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
Shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
And shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground
Shine down
Shine down
Oh, shine down
Oh baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shine down
Oh, shine down
Oh, shine down
Oh baby shine down

Hey! Oh, Mr. backstabbing son of a bitch
You're living in a world that will soon be dying
And I know, everybody knows you try to be like me
But even at your best, as a man you couldn't even be a half of me

I am realizing, that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that is here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh the enemy!

You! You're another shittalking punk to me
You're living inspiration for what I never wanna be
And I see, you've been blinded by what you believe
And now back up and sit and I'll show the act you need to be

I am realizing, that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that is here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh the enemy!
Come to me, come to me, the enemy, come to me, come to me

So predicting, you're the reason why
I lie
Safehold decision took too much time
To fly
Oh, check me, check me...

I am realizing, that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that is here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh the enemy!
Come to me
