Zebrahead Album

Another tragedy in the news
Someone shooting down the right to choose
It doesn't seem at all that they chose the right way
Another law I heard got passed today
Someone's trying to take my rights away
It doesn't seem to me they chose the right way
It's out of my hands but stuck in my mind in time
I find my spine is crooked in design
I want to be so much more (I wanna be so much)
Rescue me
Take this hand, by myself, alone I stand
Rescue me
From this world, from myself, before I grow old
Someone rescue me
Does anybody ever feel this way?
Does anybody have the guts to say?
It doesn't seem at all they chose the right way (yo man you're going the wrong
way)
Who am I to say I disagree?
Who am I not to change a thing?
Because I don't believe they chose the right way (hey man you're going the wrong
way)
Repeat Chorus
Here it comes again
Excuse too weak to stand on
I'm falling off
Too weak to stand on
I'm falling off
Too weak to hang on
Falling for you to catch me (catch me) (x2)
I'm afraid
That no one is changing
who’s to blame?
Someone SAVE ME!!

She wants to know where I've been
She's got the gloves on again
She thinks she's smooth now I'm saying
I'm not going down (I'm not going down)
You say this ain't the end to me
Fall down, pull the rug under me
Feels like I'm falling but I tell you
I'm not going down
One day, you'll be the end of me
Go blind, pull the wool over me
Feels like I'm falling but I tell you
I'm not going down
Because you push me over the edge
Tired of wasting my time, tired of wasting my breath
Because you push me over the edge
Tired of wasting my time
And you're putting me through this again (through this again)
She wants to fight and I've been drinking
We put the walls up again
I know she's right that I'm tripping
But I'm not going down
Repeat Chorus
Because you
Never did try
Never did look to see that I'm alright (whoaaaaaa)
Because you're
Always right
Gotta fight
Always wanna know (whoaaaaaa)
Because you.....
(x2)

Turn the TV off
Turn me on
Disbelief confidence is gone
You can take all this from me
Stands my integrity (now)
I'm so sick of mother fuckers
Crooked wars that they wage
Should I sit and count the seconds till were all blown away?
Sex, tyrants, violence on the news everyday
Ignorance turned anger into hate
Turn away
Strength in diversity, unity, and evolution (x4)
Revolution
Now you're gone and it's forever
Nothing is the same
Right to wrong we'll come together
Time to make a change
Turn the TV off
Turn me on
Disbelief confidence is gone
You can take all this from me
Stands my integrity (now)
And these wars that we wage
Why?
An eye for an eye
So I lock, load, engage
Casualty- high supply
We'll be missing all our friends who die to get us by
Courage facing fear
Hate increase decline
Repeat Chorus
Strength in diversity, unity, and evolution (x4)
Revolution
Turn the TV off
Turn me on
Disbelief confidence is gone
If you take all of this from me
Then all of you can . . . (come together)

Hello tomorrow and good-bye to yesterday
We've been waiting for this moment

And we still don't know what to say
We may never find the answers or know the reason why
Why we both decided we should say good-bye
Nothing but good things are coming my way
If you are going please let me stay
You bring me down when I'm getting high
You turn me on I amplify
1 -2-3 times you've broken me (Broken Me)
I won't bleed like this forever
I'm down to ride but my wings are severed
Blindside blitz- evacuation
I'm stuck in hell your on vacation
1-2-3 times you've broken me (Broken Me)
I've been waiting
Waiting for the day
I've been waiting
Waiting for the day
I'm still waiting for tomorrow
Tired of living in yesterday
I've been waiting
Waiting for the day I'd be over you
Oceans, devotions, these notions run dry
Floating away and I don't know why
Spend all my days in a bottle thinking
You're like an anchor got me sinking
1-2-3 times you've broken me (broken me)
Say good-bye now and mean it forever
Got to move on and keep it together
Forget the things that you've said and you've done
That's in the past, here comes the sun
1-2-3 times you've broken me (broken me)

Lie to me
Tell me that everything will be all right
(Who-o-a)Lie to me
Don't say it didn't mean anything
1-2-3 GO!
I should have known when my kicks
Crossed the hinge on your door
That you had something more in store
Implore
Do not push my back up to the wall (x2)
This is a set up
Rush adrenaline
Fake, phony, fed up
Bass, Alkaline
This is a set up
Waste everything
You never told me
Till the pressure started building
You never told me
I was wrong
I was right (x2)
You never told me
Till the building started shaking
Now I'm surrounded on all sides
Lie to me
Tell me that everything will be all right
(Who-o-a)Lie to me
Don't say it didn't mean anything
Lie to me
Killing joke cause your smile was the calm to the storm
And the ties that bind have been torn
I said
Do not push my back to the wall (x2)
Repeat Chorus You take this for granted
Right?
And I never wanted anybody else
You took this all for granted

Did you ever get the feeling that you were all alone
And no one ever knew you and you never had a home
And the lights and the colors do their best to distract you
Fuck you. I don't even know why I like you
It's all a blur (x2)
Like a picture, it's all a blur
You don't know what you're missing
You don't know what you're missing
I've been trying so hard just to keep away
And now look where I am standing at today
Trying so hard to walk away
But it's impossible to watch you fade away
Did you ever stop believing after all was said and done?
When you turned to your friends but they were long gone
And the sky and the snapshots remind you
I trust you and I'm always going to miss you
It's all a blur, it's all a blur
Like a picture
Reminds me who you were
Repeat Chorus
Every time I see you look at me
I see those distant eyes and your looks are fading
Every time you're next to me
I want to talk and feel and act like we used to
Cause everybody knows and everybody cares
Until they're walking in my shoes
And now I know
It's you that I cannot lose
It's all a blur
And I owe you
You can take it all
When I call, pick up the phone like you used to
It's all a blur
Like a picture
It's all a blur
You're just a blur!
I've been trying so hard just to keep away
And now look where I am standing at today
Trying so hard to walk away
But it's impossible to watch you fade away
Trying, dying so hard
I've been denying that I'm not scarred
I've been crying, lying so far
But it's impossible to fill this space
Impossible to take your place
Impossible to watch you fade away

Well I'm tired, so tired of getting up and wasting another day
I wish the picture on the wall would still say it all
But now yesterday is so far away
And I would give anything, say anything
To keep it all like it was
But you just throw it all away
And I think this house is not my home
I think that I'd rather be alone tonight
I'm trying, trying to fake it
I'm tired, so tired, of giving up and taking all the blame
I wish the shouting and the fights would stop for the night
Can't close my eyes and make them all go away
And I would give anything, say anything
To keep it all like it was
But you just throw it all away

Repeat Chorus

This is the part where you say
You can't stay together just for me
This is the part where you make me choose
On whose side I want to be
This is the part where you decide
What's going to be best for me
This is the start
Now we grow apart (x2)

For a minute, she's stuck spinning in it
Still it's better to lose hope than dying in it
Off track, impact, slam!
She's lying in it
Now she leads the way to the lost cost exhibit
You got to break through the walls that try to hold you
Fool you so that fear will always mold you
Push through
Find that the walls are beneath you
And the end of the line is a brand new avenue
You said nothing in this world could ever
Make you feel better than I do (HEY HEY)
You said no one in this world could ever
Take away all this from you
So hold on just a little longer
When you don't feel that you belong
All I want is a chance to fall into you
What a sin it's to find fulfillment
If it's better to crash land than flying in it
Violins, silence, anger violence
Says to herself "I'm going out of my mind"

Repeat Chorus

Break yourself from old ties that hold you down
You inspire me, You inspire me
I don't mind wasting time with you

I broke down on a Japanese street
Words unsaid they scar so deep
Bullshit, Palanuik both make me choke
Too much JD too much coke
She says speed up I want to go faster
She holds on but I outlast her
Build it up but what does that matter
We can build it up but we always watch it shatter
Get up the house is on fire Get up I want to get higher
Get up you mother fucking liar
You make me feel alone
I burned out in Shibuya station
Lost all my friends hazard occupation
Manic Compression like quicksand slip
Ate too many mushrooms I'm gonna be sick
She says slow down you're going through the motions
I start to crash like a plane in the ocean
Build it up but what does that matter
When the shit goes down we all fucking scatter
Repeat Chorus
I never said I wanted to try
Never said I wanted to live this lie
All you said was good-bye
All I ever said was to get me out of here
I focus on the flame
Set it off
Wasted what a shame
Set it off
Focus on the flame
Set it off
We were once the same

I drove really fast before I hit the wall
I was punch drunk, spinnin' round, heading for a fall
Do or die now, got scared, so I stalled
You can have it all
Your eyes inside the back of my mind
Stars collide to see who outshines
Your eyes inside the back of my mind
It's making me blind
We can hate
We can hate each other
We can be down then fuck one another
We can hold it up, then set it on fire
Life is sacrifice and you can be a martyr
But it's more than I can stand
When you're looking down on me
Cause I can't live up to you, that makes me incomplete
I never wanted anything more
So I'll just say good-bye and watch you walk out the door
I want to be all you want me to be
I want to be all you think that you see
Would you leave me here when nobody cares?
I tried really hard not to care at all
Medicate myself
Xanax, alcohol
My admissions made me feel so small
You can keep it all
I can change
We can change for each other
We can let go and accept one another
We can tear it down to the ground and start over
Life is compromise (x2)
So if I let you down then I'll pick you up again
In the end
Suspend confidence in me to come through
To be who I want to be and to do what I want to do
Never turn my back on you

Stutter step through another trap set by deception
Mention rejection
Always lies in your eyes
Settles in your action
Jeopardize everything that I want
And I won't compromise anything anymore
In any way victimize myself any more
Liberty (YEAH)
Manipulations on my mind
Expectations well defined
Frustrate me
Liberate me
Cause everything's falling apart
You can't control me, You can't control me
Everything's falling apart
Now I can't see you
Doesn't matter what I do
I can't see you
Cause everything's falling apart
I got exposed to a deeper form of infection
Shout out "I need acception"
Always lies in your eyes
Settles in your action
Criticize everything that I do
And I will overcome anything that's in store
Nevermore look up to you and adore
Liberty (YEAH)
Repeat Chorus
Manipulation is on my mind
Inspect me - try to check me
Expectations well defined
Dissect me - want to wreck me
Violator of my own will
Accept me- reject me
Separate or SHOOT TO KILL

Let it ride
How did everything get messed up?
Let it go
Now I got myself all stressed out
Hold on to my hand, I'll show you where to go
Take you anywhere you want to go
Take a ride
Now that everything is fucked up
Take it slow
And I got you all stressed out
It's out of your hands and I know you wanted more
What did you want it...
Four shots of Jack just to relax and get my head straight
Wait for a sign a reason not to escape
Meditate, point break, mistake
Cigarette burns while my hand shakes
You can't go back
Tomorrow brings another day Another chance, some other way
And time won't stop for you
Not even if you want it to
Let it ride
Try to tell myself to hold on
Let it go
But I always to let myself down
Thought that you had it down but now you just don't know
Bottom dropped
I spun so fast that I lost my bearings
Gather myself while everyone is staring
Have been asleep while my patience runs thin
Damn, what the fuck did I get myself in
And I miss my best friend
Cause we don't hang out anymore
I'm gonna sit and watch the waves crash on the shore
Break my fall and I'm just gonna kick it on the floor
Forevermore
Repeat Chorus And I stopped keeping score
Is that what you're looking for?
And I stopped keeping score
Start over

Shut up
I'm not like you
Back off
Don't smother me
Fuck this
I see through you
Suffer me through
Shut up I'm not like you (x3)
Suffer me through
Type a Fly away Don't lie
I won't let you get the best of me (3)
If I try, if I try
Oh god
I can't stand you
Disappoint you
With me
One day you'll come down too
Suffer me through

She wakes up in the morning
In the same room that she's been in her whole life
And everything still looks the same
But the feeling of the room has changed in spite
She said:
"You don't know what it's like to be stuck in my mind"
She said:
"You don't know what it's like to be stuck in my mind all the time"
Bruised lips and the make-up
Tattooed hips and pierced
For the sake of letting everybody know
She don't belong here
Old tricks that she made up
Attitude
I don't give a fuck
For the sake of letting everybody know
She says I won't belong So long
It's not a lost cause
She's just a runaway
Is there nothing left for you to say?
And if she comes home
Do you think she'll want to stay?
Is there anything for her?
She's a runaway
Turn your back on yesterday
She calls at seven thirty
And wants to talk about her boyfriend one last time
Mom and Dad are fighting in the background,
Shattered glass cuts through red wine
I said:
"I don't know that I'm right but I know that you're wrong"

Repeat Chorus
Blacked out
Passed out at a party
In another town
With the same old Bacardi
Nothing ever changes what's inside me
Someone find me, someone find me
My heart showed me the way out
Don't stop
Don't give up on me now
Two beats, two streets
Too many repeats to blow my only other way out

Dear you
What's your name?
When did we start this crazy game?
Pull up a chair
Grab a drink
I need something not to make me think
And all in all
It's all the same
The days go on and on
Eleven days and forty nights
When's the last time that we kissed goodnight?
I want to know who you're laughing with
I want to know that there's more than this
But all in all
It's all the same
It goes on and on
Because you're far away
Jut like yesterday
Wait to see you smile
And I'll be gone
So far away
Never ending day
Drive a million miles
And I'll be gone a while
I never thought it would come to this
I never thought of all the stupid shit I'd miss
The way you looked when I made you mad
We never missed the things that we never had
And all the talk and all the time
It goes on and on
She said:

I think that time has got the
Best of me, best of me
I wish the worship was mine
Apathy, apathy
For we live another day
Close it in, close it in
Technique I put me on the wall again

When I split right down the middle
Spill my insides
Hurts just a little
Split, split right down the middle
Swallow my pride
Choke, then I let go

Stop, wake up
These lies will help me find you
Fade in, fade out if that’s what you got
Girl give up, the truth can get you through
Can not deny
It can not be spoken

I think my instincts will get
Rid of me, rid of me
And my sins will weigh on me
Heavily, heavily
Will you remember reside
Fade away, fade away
Then I’m the one that should take all the blame

When I split right down the middle
Spill my insides
Hurts just a little
Split, split right down the middle
Swallow my pride
Choke, then I let go

Stop, wake up
These lies will help me find you
Fade in, fade out if that’s what you got
Girl give up, the truth can get you through
Can not deny
It can not be spoken
Stop, wake up
These lies will help me find you
Fade in, fade out if that’s what you got
Girl give up, the truth can get you through
Can not deny
It can not be spoken

Do you believe that it’s the dark before the dawn?
Do you believe
Do you believe that when you’re down you carry on?
Do you believe
I know the pressure makes you audible to love
I know that you can rise above

Losing pace, I can’t stay in this place
And I can’t, and I won’t, and I don’t need you
Losing face, what a shame and a waste
And I can’t, and I won’t, and I don’t need you

Stop, wake up
These lies will help me find you
Fade in, fade out if that’s what you got
Girl give up, the truth can get you through
Can not deny
It can not be spoken
Stop, wake up
These lies will help me find you
Fade in, fade out if that’s what you got
Girl give up, the truth can get you through
Can not deny
It can not be spoken
Deny, it can not be spoken
Deny, it can not be spoken

Mother told me, yes she told me
I'd meet girls like you
She also told me stay away
You'll never know what you'll catch
Just the other day I heard
Of a soldier's falling off
Some Indonesian junk
That's going 'round

Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Father says your mother's right
She's really up on things
Before we married Mommy served
On the WACs in the Philippines
Now I had heard the WACs recruited
Old maids for the war
But Mommy isn't one of those
I've known her all these years
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away
Whatever happened to all this season's
Losers of the year
Every time I got to thinking
Then they disappear
When I woke up, Mom and Dad
Were fuckin' on the couch
Rolling numbers, rock and rolling
Got my Kiss records out
Mommy's alright, Daddy's alright
They just seem a little weird
Surrender, surrender
But don't give yourself away

I don't believe a word you say
(Just say) Now we're waiting
I can't compete with you today
(Just say) That don't fuckin' phase me
I got more backbone so I guess that you can bring it on
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop staring at me Stop staring
Take another stand, take your place and get high
Everybody's doing it and so am I
All I wanted were the good things, whoa
Give another day give a piece of my mind
Everybody's doing it so why can't I
All I wanted were the good things
It's so good okay I don't care what they all say
It's just another day, what a waste what a waste
She was in a movie, they'll just be getting booed
He's not like them, just like me
Keeping us from taking my fast Chevrolet
All I got to say what a waste, what a waste.
Just like every movie, another nervous fool
He's not like them, just like me
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop staring at me.
Stop staring
Leave it up to me, leave it up to me, leave it up to (up to me)
Leave it up to me, leave it up to me, leave it up to (up to me)
Leave it up to me, leave it up to me, leave it up to (up to me)
Leave it up to me, leave it up to me, leave it up to (up to me, yeah)
Take another stand, take your place and get high
Everybody's doing it and so am I
All I wanted were the good things
Give another day get a piece of my mind
Everybody's doing it so why can't I
All I wanted were the good things

Another reckless holiday
Another brain cell floats away
I've had enough, please wake me up ---if I'm dreaming
Half these friends, fading fast, burning out, into ash
Where you wanna go cuz I will follow?
What you can't stomach, I will swallow.
Dissatisfied, dissatisfied, dissatisfied
Its alright, alright
Don't worry everything's gonna be alright
Its alright
Don't worry everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright
Dissatisfied
If the best of times only last
In a second come io pass
Where you wanna go cuz I will follow?
What you can't stomach, I will swallow.
Dissatisfied, dissatisfied, dissatisfied. Its alright, alright
Don't worry everything's gonna be alright
Its alright
Don't worry everything's gonna be alright, alright, alright Dissatisfied
Another reckless holiday
Another brain cell floats away
I've had enough, please wake me up ---if I'm dreaming
Another never-ending night
Another long and sleepless life
I've had enough, please wake me up -if I'm dreaming
Twenty more days since we've been gone, and I'm so sick of Twenty more nights
I've spent alone
And I'm so sick of Twenty more days 'till I get home, and I'm so sick of being
