Face to Face Album

You don't know what you want to be
You don't know what you want to do
Never going to amount to much of anything.
So what's the difference if you win or lose?

Well that's something
Well isn't that something
You've done nothing wrong and it's never your fault
You've done nothing

Don't care where your friends have gone
Because you never really needed them anyway
Never going to be exactly who you are
Because you try too hard to be just like them

Well that's something
You've done nothing wrong and it's never your fault
You've done nothing

You've got brains in your head
Feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
Any way you choose
You're on your own
And you know what you know
And it's up to you to decide where you'll go

I didn't want a second chance
Now that's exactly where I am
Back where I didn't want to be
Back where I knew you'd find me out
I've never been afraid of you
I never will admit the truth
I know there's something I can do
I'm not afraid to face myself
But is it me or something else?
Makes me exactly what I am
That's something I will always doubt

You don't know a thing about me
Is there something that you should know?
I can tell you what you want to hear
Let your inhibitions just go

No you don't know what you will give up
You don't know what you want
It may take you years to find out
You don't know what you need
It's something that may never come to you

Trust is something that comes easy
Whan you've never been a victim
Lies and promises and words are said
It's you're decision to accept them

There is someone who knows everything there is to know
There is someone who is too afraid to let it show
We live by consequences
We never seem to get it right
Conflict of circumstances
And sometimes we may lose a fight
Wouldn't you know
Something is going wrong
Wouldn't you know
Something is really wrong
No you have no authority
No I am who I want to be
There are those of us who just sit back ans never try
There are those of us who just sit back and wonder why
We live by consequences
We never seem to get it right
Conflict of circumstances
And sometimes we may lose a fight

everybody wants the truth
but everybody lies
everybody wants proof
but everybody's blind
so open your eyes
I really don't know much of anything at all
but I'll admit we're all the same
you ask for forgiveness and make the same mistakes
and I'll admit we're all the same

I want to know
do these words mean anything?
how can this life
mean something more than what it seems?

everybody wants equality
but we're all prejudice
we're all hypocrites
everybody wants the world
but we have nothing

so what's the problem this time?
I thought you'd learn by now that nothing ever works out right
you want to take away the edge
you tell me it's the only thing that helps you forget
you've made your promises
that's not enough this time
there's only so much you can squander from a feeble mind

you've got a problem with your life
you've got a problem with your mind

don't try to tell me that you think it's going to work out fine
so go ahead and try to hide
the world around you watches on as you destroy you life
do what your problem says
there's not a lot of time
there's only so much you can squander from a feeble mind

you've got a problem with your life

we've got a lot of questions
we've got a lot to learn
so tired of solving problems
too many bridges burned
we see it all so clearly and still we close our eyes
why should we understand it?
what good is knowing why?
I know that life can be filled with these changes
I know there's times when it feels like I'm falling
I know something in my life will change again

now I've got a lot of questions
I've got a lot to learn
I'm tired of solving problems
too many bridges burned
I can't change what's in the past
I want to move ahead
I want to understand it
give me the reason why

I'm tired of running these circles in my life
I've seen the future it changes before my eyes
and I know that there is something that's going to change in my life
I know my life will change again

A 4-year old at play
Shot and killed today
Never even had a chance
17 and high
Threw away his life
Has a gun to feel like he's a man
Can't have it any other way, no

Laying in the street
Askin' for a drink
Doesn't have a place to live
Pregnant at 13
Still can hear the screams
Something that she never will forget
Can't have it any other way, no

I'm trying, to open my mind
So you can keep your faith,
'Cause I'll just walk away
No reason for me to stay
I'm trying to open my mind
I'm trying to make up my mind

Another falls in place
You wonder in you're only human
It's blood, dust, and paste
We're held together by a single thread
Must be a reason for us to justify it
But no one will defy it

What is it with this place?
Or is it that I'm missing something?
You want to see my face
When I can't even see it for myself
Must be a reason for us to justify it
But no one will defy it

I don't want a game that I don't know how to play
Just go away
And I don't want to know how to play
Can't I make it just go away?
I don't want a game that I don't know how to play
Just go away
And I don't want to know how to play
Can't I make it just go away?

Don't you understand what these problems will demand?
Make it just go away
I dont' want a game that I don't know how to play
Just go away

Must be a reason for us to justify it
But no one will defy it

there is nothing new
put in front of you
nothing you don't understand
don't try to rationalize
no one hears your lies
only you can comprehend

you don't want to see
you don't want to hear
you don't want to feel at all
tell me that you've tries
mind is open wide
but you're not listening at all

please don't question me I don't have the time
if there's a problem that it's easier to set aside
there is nothing that will make you want to change your mind
you can't take it
you can't make it
you can't make it so why try?

there is nothing new put in front of you
tell me that you've tried to
tell me that your mind is open

please don't question me I don't have the time
if there's a problem that it's easier to set aside
there is nothing that will make you want to change your mind
you can't take it
you can't make it
you can't make it so why try?

don't want to hear what you said
don't want to kick in your head
don't want to live my life that way
don't want to give in but I don't want to be victimized
don't want to know anything
don't want to live my life that way

walk away
try to see things in a different way

don't want to tell you your place
don't want to get in your face
don't want to live my life that way
don't want to know what you think
don't want to know anything
don't want to live my life that way

walk away
try to see things in a different way

do you want to make a difference?
do you wonder what would happen if you don't?
do you need just a little push?
do you try to change?

do you THINK about the other guy?
do you want just one good reason why you should?
do you only think about yourself?
do you want to be left alone?

you're running out of time
and I don't see a change in you
and I don't think you're gonna make it

do you understand the way it works?
do you want to take as much as you can get?
do you need a little push?
do you try to change?

you're running out of time
and I don't see a change in you
and I don't think you're gonna make it

we're running out of time and there aren't many changes made
and I don't think were going to make it
we're running out of time and there aren't many changes made
and I don't think were going to make it

well, what do you think?
yeah, that's what I thought

I've tried to ask the question
Must be a million answers that just aren't there
You try to find yourself
I'll try to live my life
I just don't care

Take a look at your life
Tell me can you say you've done no wrong?
Ask yourself the question
Do you realize where you belong?


I've been down
I've been out
I've been there

I've been down this road a thousand times
Nothing ever looks the same
It seems to me
There's something more I might never see
