Текст песни:

Better
Just when I thought that I was better
I realized that I don′t know what better was
Is it.........
Better than I used to be?
Better for you or for me?
I′d better hurry cause I need a better view of things
I don′t know what it is or what I might be coming down with

Don′t know where I′ve been
Don′t know where to go
Can′t remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that if I think about it
I′d still rather be me than me be you
And I′m not getting any better
Cause everytime I can′t remember what it′s for
Is it.........
Better now than yesterday?
Better that I am this way?
I′d better not be so afraid
I bet I shouldn′t say
I don′t know what it is or what I might be coming down with

Don′t know where I′ve been
Don′t know where to go
Can′t remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that if I think about it
I′d still rather be me than me be you
I don′t know what it is or what I might be coming down with

I don′t know what it is or what I might be coming down with

Don′t know where I′ve been
Don′t know where to go
Can′t remember all the things that I need to know
All I know is that if I think about it
I′d still rather be me than me than maybe you
Maybe you

Текст песни:

Once two individuals walked in a room
One looked at the other but he doesn′t know what to do
He′d better figure out his plan so
If he succeeds, he′ll get what he needs
So he builds up the nerve to go
And talk to the girl that he′s been burning for
And he says, with a slightly boyish grin
I know that this sounds weird, but you′ve just got to hear
I′ve got this fantasy, just between you and me
Where we could spend the night and all of the day
Doing all the things I just can′t say
And in my fantasy, your kiss is heavenly
So I try to figure out any possible way
To make my fantasy come true one day
She politely denies his invitation
Just then another one hits the floor
One down and one to go
This time he must be smooth, or he′ll be pulling root
So he says please
Can I just buy you a drink and I′ll show you
That I′ll do anything for one kiss
But before let me tell you this

Текст песни:

Verse:1

I will dedicate
And sacrifice my everything for just a seconds worth
Of my story’s ending
And I wish I could know if the directions that I take
And all the choices that I make wont end up all for nothing

Chorus:

Show me what its for
Make me understand it
cause Ive been crawling in the dark looking for the answer
Is there something more than what ive been handed?
Ive been crawling in the dark looking for the answer

Verse:2

Help me carry on
Assure me its ok to use my heart and not my eyes
To navigate the darkness
Will the ending be ever coming suddenly?
Will I ever get to see the ending to my story?

Chorus

Verse:3

(So when and how will I know?) How much further do I have to go?
And how much longer till I finally know?
Because Im looking and I just cant see whats in front of me
In front of me

Текст песни:

There′s a pain that sleeps inside
It sleeps with just one eye
And awakens the moment that you leave
Though I try to look away
The pain it still remains
Only leaving when you’re next to me

Do you know, that every time you’re near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

So I stand and look around
Distracted by the sounds
Of everyone and everything I see
And I search through every face
Without a single trace, of the person
The person that I need

Do you know, that every time you’re near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

Can you make them disappear?
Make them disappear

There’s a pain that sleeps inside
Sleeps with just one eye
And awakens, the moment that you leave
And I search through every face
Without a single trace, of the person
The person that I need

Do you know, that every time you’re near
Everybody else seems far away
So can you come and make them disappear
Make them disappear and we can stay

Текст песни:

Don′t tell me that you are ready to change.
Don′t tell me that from now it won′t be the same.
It doesn′t matter, ′cause at the end of the day,
It isn′t what you say, it′s what you do!

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises all fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

Don′t tell me you′ll make things better for us.
Don′t tell me that you′re some one I can trust.
It doesn′t mean a thing to me just because,
It isn′t what you say, it′s what you do!

Your actions will speak louder than you!

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises all fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

So show me that you really figured it out.
And show me everything that you are about.
But if you can′t then just shut your mouth!..

′cause I don′t care what you say or what you do,
You can′t take back what you′ve put me through.
Your actions will speak louder than you!..

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises all fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

What you say will be forgotten someday.
What you do will be remembered.
Empty promises all fade away.
What you keep will last forever.

What you keep will last forever.

What you keep will last forever.

Forever...

Текст песни:

Rotate your point of view
Concrete surrounds you
It used to be a field where we all played
Suspend your disbelief
This world became a thief
To the beautiful things that flourished in your day
That′s why I say
Stop, stop the world I said
Stop, stop, stop the world
Because I want to get off
Want to get off
Want to get off
It′s making me earthsick
Substitute what is now for what had used to be
Old or new, everybody′s got to pick
It′s making me earthsick
My head keeps spinning
Progress is winning
I don′t recognize the place where I grew up
This is no fantasy
The ground beneath your feet
Will soon be a store with things that you don′t need
That′s why I plead

Текст песни:

As I roll over in my bed, the same old thoughts run through my head
What are you getting up for
I look outside, the night still rules, an incarcerated fool
And my prison cell is school
So I open the door to my new day, bad thoughts should go away
But the morning is so grey
How am I supposed to understand a word they′re going to say?
My mind′s just not awake
Today′s the day I break away from this life of monotony
And I arrive and kick my way to class, sit down
Head down on the fake wood
Instructor starts to speak about the time when man was ape
And though I′m trying really hard, my mind won′t cooperate
It tells me where I should be, in the sun where life is carefree
That′s when I say, can I just go away and learn some other day?
Cause I can′t live by the rules established by the school
An educated fool
People always say to me, go to school so you can be
Listen hard and fill your mind′s potential, or lack there of
But sometimes I′m not in class just cause that I will not pass
He walks around and stops at me, my letter comes after e
A, d, doesn′t matter much to me
A, d, doesn′t say shit about me
A, d, doesn′t matter much to me
Cause a or d is not me

Текст песни:

Another day goes without any change
The feeling we live with still remains
Were stuck in a hole and were searching for anything to hold onto
There has to be somewhere that we can be safe from the lives we live each day
There has to be somewhere that we can be far away...

We have to escape and I will go anywhere if you just lead the way
Escape to a place where well be together, together everyday
We have to escape...

We could be living how we wanted to
Instead of doing things were forced to do
With no one to tell us that we should be going through what they went through
There has to be someplace that nobody knows, somewhere we can only go
There has to be someplace that we can be all alone...

We have to escape and I will go anywhere if you just lead the way
Escape to a place where well be together, together everyday (x2)

Oooooo... together everyday
oh yeaaaah...

We have to escape
We have to escape

We have to escape and I will go anywhere if you just lead the way
Escape to a place where well be together, together everyday (x2)
We have to escape...

Текст песни:

I recognize that typical, cynical smile you wear on the front row
I can hear you telling everyone about the other show
You′re the one with all of the friends
But none are real cause you′re a hypocrite
Just remember that you did it yourself and you wonder how
Just don′t stick your foot in your mouth
Never thought before you spoke
You tell me what I want to hear
Turn around and tell another
Who you think you know
Did you really think it wouldn′t get back to me
Fabrications that you spun so well
Always ready with a tabloid story to tell
So don′t complain to me
Shut your mouth and go quietly
Cause it didn′t have to be like this and you wonder how
Just don′t stick your foot in your mouth
Didn′t have to be this way
You tell me what I want to hear
Turn around and tell another
Who you think you know
But no one cares what you wanna say
Don′t bug me or any other
Shut your mouth and go
How can you live with yourself
Knowing all the lies that you tell
How can you live with yourself
I know what you want and what you′ll do
To get your foot in the door or to just break through
But you′re never gonna get to where you want right now
Cause you stick your foot in your mouth
All you have to do is change
