1. Sinner


end me shape me misdirect me
Itīs all the same to me
Look at all this useless talk
Upon the cross
You look at me but you donīt see
Understand Iīm a sinner
Donīt corner me
Donīt lecture me
Raise your hands youīre a sinner
Is this everything you wanted find another dream
You never hear a word I say
So pray
Iīm a sinner
Look at all these people in front of me
Look at all these people in front of me…how



2. Bodies


Let the bodies hit the floor
Beaten why for
Canīt take much more
One - Nothing wrong with me
Two - Nothing wrong with me
Three - Nothing wrong with me
Four - Nothing wrong with me
One - Somethingīs got to give
Two - Somethingīs got to give
Three - Somethingīs got to give
Now
Let the bodies hit the floor
Push me again
This is the end
Skin against skin blood and bone
Youīre all by yourself but youīre not alone
You wanted in now youīre here
Driven by hate consumed by fear
Let the bodies hit the floo



3. Tear Away


Iīm tearing away
Pieces are falling I canīt seem to make them stay
You run away
Faster and faster you canīt seem to get away
Break
Hope thereīs a reason
For questions unanswered I just donīt see everything
Yes Iīm inside you
Tell me how does it feel to feel like this
Just like I do
I donīt care about anyone else but me
I donīt care about anyone
Do I really want this
Sometimes I scare myself I just canīt let it go
Can you believe it
Everything happens for reasons I just donīt know
I donīt care about anyone else but me
I donīt care about anyone
I donīt care about anyone else but me
I donīt care about anyone or anything but me
Goddamn I love me



4. All Over Me


Something I just might regret
Something you will not forget
Maybe I should throw away
Everything Iīve learned today
All over me
Pushing forward from the truth
Maybe itīs me and maybe itīs you
Sometimes I donīt know myself
28 years straight to hell
All over me
Thereīs something changing in me
Thereīs something growing in me
Thereīs something changing in me
Thereīs something growing inside of me
Go away
Donīt want this



5. Reminded


Down too long like I was before
And Iīve never thought Iīd see the day
Canīt be wrong īcause I know the score
And I guess there is no other way
Reminded of you
Reminded
There it is all in black and white
And it looks like thatīs the way it goes
Doesnīt matter if itīs wrong or right
īCause by now Iīm sure that I know
Never felt so undecided
Everything Iīve ever had has been taken away
Little boy so scared and frightened
All of the things that have happened Iīm surely to blame
Accept your fate then youīll be well but the truth is that it never ends
You can say that youīve been through hell
But youīll always lose another friend
Never felt so unimportant
Everything Iīve ever said has been taken in vain
Little girl so scared and frightened
All of the things that I do are still subject to change



6. Pity


My life served on a plate
For all of you to eat
Take my love and hate
But what is this inside of me
Pity me pity me donīt you pity me
Under everything something that you canīt see
I canīt even believe something is wrong with me
You swear that all of this is real
But sometimes I canīt seem to feel
Nothing ever satisfies
One day I will realize
Am I really scared of something that I donīt know
Do you even care
What is really wrong



7. Mute


Shouldnīt have that far to go
The less you think the more you know
It seems the dream is impossible
Never made a difference so why should you
Promise me you wonīt look at me
Thereīs nothing left here to talk about
Thereīs nothing left
No matter how hard I try
The lonely one refuses to die
Someday I will be a better man
Never made a difference so why should I
Promise me you wonīt look at me



8. I Am


Iīve never felt so alive
Iīve never had to run and hide
The things I want I cannot have
The things I need are all so bad
What you say
I couldīve been
I am
You couldīve been
You are
My best excuse is that Iīm drained
From everything that keeps me sane
My sickness keeps me in control
From everything youīll never know
Does it make you happy
Does it make you mad
Why am I still laughing
Look at what you had
Does it make you feel good
Does it make you sick
That you knew that I would
Be the one to trip
No Control



9. Follow


ight now
Here I am understand
With this comes frustration
A better way to follow through
Iīm far from done
The truth is right there in front of you
A better way to follow through
Iīm far from done
The truth is right there in front of me
Realize through my eyes
I canīt speak so damn weak
The face before me shows what my life will be
Everybody knows everyone but me
Better
Follow
The truth is right there in front of you
Better
Follow
The truth is right there in front of me



10. Told You So


It took some time to realize
All the bullshit in my eyes
Until I got away from you
And then I guess you thought that youīd be cool
And make me look like Iīm the one the fool
Well I donīt care īcause youīre the one to blame
I canīt believe it all comes down to this
A penny for your thoughts would make me sick
And anything less would be a crime
Told me
Told you
Shut up
Well everything is not OK
Tomorrowīs another day
Iīll find my perfect way out
And then I guess you thought that youīd be smooth
And make me look like Iīm another fool
Well I donīt care īcause I donīt believe anything you say or do
Just like me
I cut my losses to save face
Iīve found my perfect space
To crawl back inside of myself
And then I guess you tried to make me be
Everything you wanted me to be
Well look up from the ground and see whoīs laughing last
I do what it takes to pull me through
No thanks to anything that you could do
Never trust again



11. Sermon


Where was God when I needed a friend
Where was God when I came to an end
Where was God when I lost my mind
Where was God when I couldnīt find
Donīt want to be up or down
Where was love when I felt like hate
Where was hate when I felt like love
Where were you when you said youīd be there
Where was the fear when I said I was scared
Tell me what you believe
Iīll tell you what you should see
īCause I donīt know who to trust
My heart is filled with disgust
I canīt take this
Ladies and Gentlemen
May I have your attention
Are you ready for the joke
Are you ready for the great deception
