Tantric Album

You said that you'd never hurt me
But you did anyway

My Piece of mind now deserts me
(It fills my mind with despair)
And here I lie

Down in the cold again
But still I do pretend
That I have no one
But myself to count on

Cuz I've tried to work things out
But a little mistake has slowed me down
To find out what I'm chasing after

Another day of this conflict
Once again I've bit my tongue

For this greater reward here
Life's turned into somewhat of a lie

Down in the cold again
But still I do pretend
That I have no one
But myself to count on

Cuz I've tried to work things out
But a little mistake has slowed me down
To find out what I'm chasing after

Who do you want to be
If this is what you see
Who do you fucking blame
You're driving me insane

Cuz I've tried to work things out
But a little mistake has slowed me down
To find out what I'm chasing after

Cuz I've tried to work things out
But a little mistake has slowed me down

Do you know how we got right here
Is it something we probably asked for
All the answers are not quite clear
But the question is one that you can't ignore

We walk around like we don't live with consequence
And still believing what we do is right
So how's it feel to run and hide for your defense
You're not the only one to face the fight

It's been a long time
Believe it or not
We've got a strong mind
But we never remember to use it
Something tells me that we've got to be suffering
After seein' everything
I can't believe we still don't know
What it is that we think we're searching for

After we go
It seems the same mistakes will carry on
That's what we get for giving up

I don't know how long this will last
But I will keep on pushing
I've gotta make all the time that has passed
Turn into reasons to get me through it

We walk around like we don't live with consequence
And still believing what we do is right
So how's it feel to run and hide for your defense
You're not the only one to face the fight

It's been a long time
Believe it or not
We've got a strong mind
But we never remember to use it
Something tells me that we've got to be suffering
After seein' everything
I can't believe we still don't know
What it is that we think we're searching for

After we go
It seems the same mistakes will carry on
That's what we get for giving up
But until then
We have to realize there's more to it
Than we could ever see there was

After we go
It seems the same mistakes will carry on
That's what we get for giving up
But until then
We have to realize there's more to it
Than we could ever see there was

After we go
It seems the same mistakes will carry on
That's what we get for giving up
But until then
We have to realize there's more to it

How did we let this shit get complicated
When all of this time we knew that we were wasting

Why do I feel like I always fall through
Sometimes I feel like I just want to be you
Now that I know that it's harder to be true
I realize that I have to believe you

And it's so hard to see
But it's never enough, never enough
Anyway

How can I start the day without a destiny
How can I live again, you got the best of me
And I've tried just to feel it from another state
And it keeps on falling and falling away

How did we let our lives get over jaded
We're not the ones who asked to stay belated

Why do I feel like I always fall through
Sometimes I feel like I just want to be you
Now that I know that it's harder to be true
I realize that I have to believe you

And it's so hard to see
But it's never enough, never enough
Anyway

How can I start the day without a destiny
How can I live again, you got the best of me
And I've tried just to feel it from another state
And it keeps on falling and falling

How can I start the day without a destiny
How can I live again, you got the best of me
And I've tried just to feel it from another state
And it keeps on falling and falling away

And it's hard to see
When it's something you don't believe
Cuz I've tried everything
But it's never enough, never enough
Anyway
How can I start the day without a destiny
How can I live again, you got the best of me
And I've tried just to feel it from another state
And it keeps on falling and falling

How can I start the day without a destiny
How can I live again, you got the best of me
And I've tried just to feel it from another state

Feel me
Why are you hiding
Why are you siding
What happened to my friend

I see your
Back now is turned to
Me as I ask you
Cuz I don't understand
I don't understand
I don't understand

Hey now
Never have I wanted to try
Look into my face and you lie
Tell me why I'm willing to
Die for this again
Hey now
Thinking that the worst is behind
Turn around but only to find
Tell me why I'm ready to
Die for this again

Hey now
I'll bare this for you
So they adore you
And get your paper badge

Hear me
But you don't listen
Or you don't want to
Cuz you're just saving yourself
Just saving your…

Hey now
Never have I wanted to try
Look into my face and you lie
Tell me why I'm willing to
Die for this again
Hey now
Thinking that the worst is behind
Turn around but only to find
Tell me why I'm ready to
Die for this again

Why don't you make up your mind
Why don't you make up your mind
Who do you want me to be
Who do you want me to be
I can't believe what you said
I can't believe what you said
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me
Why are you messing with me

I have been let down
Lies that have affected me

Hey now
Never have I wanted to try
Look into my face and you lie
Tell me why I'm willing to
Die for this again
Hey now
Thinking that the worst is behind
Turn around but only to find
Tell me why I'm ready to
Die for this again

Hey now
Never have I wanted to try
Look into my face and you lie
Tell me why I'm willing to
Die for this again
Hey now
Thinking that the worst is behind
Turn around but only to find
Tell me why I'm willing to

Before you go, just listen
And I'm sorry
For all the things I've done to you
You know that I'm sorry
For all the things I've put you through

You see I
You see I never did realize
How it must have felt in your eyes
Complacency was my disguise
Until the day that I found you
Will I ever see the day
When I turn around and say
Things shouldn't be this way
But all I know is
I feel all alone

And all I ever wanted
Was to be your hero
And all I ever wanted
Was to be your friend

Do you remember
The way it used to be
I know you remember
Maybe we could make it real

You see I never did realize
How it must have felt in your eyes
Complacency was my disguise
Until the day that I found you
Will I ever see the day
When I turn around and say
Things shouldn't be this way
But all I know is
I feel all alone

And all I ever wanted
Was to be your hero
And all I ever wanted
Was to be your friend

And all I ever wanted
Was to be your hero
And all I ever wanted
Was to be your friend

Before you go, listen to the things I have to say
Before you judge, don't you let your pain judge me this way
Before you leave, give me just a second to explain
All the things I'm feeling inside

And all I ever wanted
Was to be your hero
And all I ever wanted
Was to be your friend

And all I ever wanted
Was to be your hero
And all I ever wanted

Listen to the wind blow
Watch the sun rise

Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies

And if
You don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying
You would never break the chain

Listen to the wind blow
Down comes the night

Run in the shadows
Damn your love
Damn your lies

Break the silence
Damn the dark
Damn the light

And if
You don't love me now
You will never love me again
I can still hear you saying

I don't have another reason
Why all these thoughts are floating through my head
It seems I took myself through seasons
I take it all myself, my pain instead
Break me off a little something
Why do I always have to compromise

Let me be myself just one time
Don't want to search for what I cannot find
My patience running thin with this state
There's only so much one can really take

I've tried and I've tried just to see it your way
Nothing is better than staying the same
So you can change the world
It's your world, change the world

You're stepping up to me once again
I'm wired, tired, sick of all your lies
You better sit your ass down my friend
I'll decide who angers me inside

I've tried and I've tried just to see it your way
Nothing is better than staying the same
So you can change the world
It's your world, change the world

I've tried and I've tried just to see it your way
Nothing is better than staying the same
So you can change the world
It's your world, change the world

I've tried and I've tried just to see it your way
Nothing is better than staying the same
So you can change the world
It's your world, change the world

I've tried and I've tried just to see it your way
Nothing is better than staying the same
So you can change the world
It's your world, change the world

I've tried and I've tried just to see it your way
Nothing is better than staying the same
So you can change the world

Just once I'd like to show
A part of me that's in control
I don't know how to say
But I would regret it anyway

Just once I'd like to feel
That space and time were standing still
And If I look away
I'm guaranteed you'll stay the same

Can you sit here all alone
The more I try the more it seems I'm starting to run
We've been waiting for so long
There's more to life than meets the eye for everyone

Can you sit here and be strong
Tomorrow's gonna come along if you hold on
We've been waiting for too long
Something's got to give so we can move along

Just once I'd like to know
Is someone out there who can show
Us how to live again
But I get doubtful now and then

Just once I'd like to see
The same solution work for me
And if I look away
I'm guaranteed you'll stay the same

Can you sit here all alone
The more I try the more it seems I'm starting to run
We've been waiting for so long
There's more to life than meets the eye for everyone

Can you sit here and be strong
Tomorrow's gonna come along if you hold on
We've been waiting for too long
Something's got to give so we can move along

Can you sit here all alone
The more I try the more it seems I'm starting to run
We've been waiting for so long
There's more to life than meets the eye for everyone

Can you sit here and be strong
Tomorrow's gonna come along if you hold on
We've been waiting for too long

Here we are alone again
Isn't that what you wanted my friend
But it's hard to believe

And many things we overcame
Do you want to let it slip away
Don't make a mistake

We must return to another day
With the courage to cross, you know we must fight
It's for more than ourselves

Something tells me I'm not alone
It seems as though we've lost control of
Everything that we have fought for
I wish that I could be so much more

Something tells me I'm not alone
It seems as though we've lost control of
Everything that we have fought for
I wish that I could give so much more

You bring me hope you bring me strength
With all of this there's more than some think
And we've done it before

We must return to yesterday
To remember how it used to be
Can we finally move along

Something tells me I'm not alone
It seems as though we've lost control of
Everything that we have fought for
I wish that I could be so much more

Something tells me I'm not alone
It seems as though we've lost control of
Everything that we have fought for
I wish that I could give so much more

Something tells me I'm not alone
It seems as though we've lost control of
Everything that we have fought for
I wish that I could be so much more

Something tells me I'm not alone
It seems as though we've lost control of
Everything that we have fought for

What you realize
You feel inside
Who'd ever thought you'd sit here and compromise

I don't know why
It has to be
Nothing in life would ever come for free

I never thought I'd hear you say
That everything would be OK

Where are you going
If you don't know where you're coming from
Then you don't know where you're going to
That's fine, it will be alright

What you're looking for
Is piece of mind
Why do you go and hurt us all the time

It's where I find myself
Another day
Trying to find my way through it another way

I never thought I'd hear you say
That everything would be OK

Where are you going
If you don't know where you're coming from
Then you don't know where you're going to
That's fine, it will be alright

Where are you going
If you don't know where you're coming from
Then you don't know where you're going to
That's fine, it will be alright

If you don't know where you're coming from
Then you don't know where you're going to

One thing that I must agree with
You got to step outside the picture just to see it
Everybody loses it sometimes
My eyes can't fake what you feel inside

Should of known the way I saw you standing
Was it everything you imagined could happen
Tried once but I got distracted
Head first and there's no time for reaction

Got to go, got to get things moving
You got to realize to think before you do it
Found out by the time I knew this, the feeling slipped away

Can you ever imagine what it's like
To see every day
But through a hopeless set of eyes
Can you ever feel the want inside
It's all up to you
You've got to find out what you believe in over time

One thing that I must agree with
You got to step outside the picture just to see it
Everybody loses it sometimes
My eyes can't fake what you feel inside

Sometimes when I'm almost empty
I used to wish tomorrow never came and hit me
But today is a time worth living
So things have got to change

Can you ever imagine what it's like
To see every day
But through a hopeless set of eyes
Can you ever feel the want inside
It's all up to you
You've got to find out what you believe in over time

Can you ever imagine what it's like
To see every day
But through a hopeless set of eyes
Can you ever feel the want inside
It's all up to you

Thinking back we were a struggling
All the people, places
We've left behind
What others want you are a struggling it
Second chances are the hardest things to find

Another day, another sun is gone
And everything around us
Slowly wears us down
So you pleasantly distract yourself
Time is passing
Don't forget to look around

What if the life we knew wasn't dead
It's only been forgotten cuz we fought and lost again
I'm tired of always stumbling through it
That's not the way to be

Pay attention cuz it goes away
And don't be bothered
By the things you can't control

Very few things never fade away
Let the petty things
That dwell go where they go

What if the life we knew wasn't dead
It's only been forgotten cuz we fought and lost again
I'm tired of always stumbling through it
That's not the way to be

This is how I have to clear my mind
This is how to take the blindfold off to find
What I see an image of my life
Then awake to find that everything was fine.

What if the life we knew wasn't dead
It's only been forgotten cuz we fought and lost again
I'm tired of always stumbling through it
That's not the way to be

What if the life we knew wasn't dead
It's only been forgotten cuz we fought and lost again
I'm tired of always stumbling through it
