2. Switchback
(Switch back)
(Switch back)
(Switch back)
(Switch back)
I've made a choice that I regret
Now, what I see is what I get
(It's too late to look back)
(I've got no way to switch back)
It's too late to look back, ain't
Okay, I got no way to (switch back)
(Switch back)
(Switch back)
Wait, how can it be too
Late? 'Cause I don't want to
Play with such a price to
Pay
It's too late to look back (too)
(Late to) Ain't
Okay, I got no way to (switch back)
A painful picture that I can't forget
Now, what I see is what I get
(It's too late to look back)
(I've got no way to switch back)
It's too late to look back, ain't
Okay, I got no way to (switch back)
(Switch back)
(Switch back)
Wait, how can it be too
Late? 'Cause I don't want to
Play with such a price to
Pay
Chained to what I can't
Reclaim, I'll never be the
Same
(And there's no)
(Way to)
It's too late to look back (too)
(Late to) Ain't
Okay, I got no way to switch back (and there's no)
(Way to)
It's too late to look back (Too)
(Late to) Ain't
Okay, I got no way to (switch back)
(Switch back, switch back)
(It's too late to look back)
(I've got no way to switch back)
(It's too late to look back)
(I've got no way to switch back)
(It's too late to look back)
(I've got no way to switch back)
It's too late to look back, ain't
Okay, I got no way to (switch back)
(And everybody) And
Everybody foolin' with their rick rack, and
It's about time we put them on their back
Meaner and leaner, we take up the slack
Klayton and Celldweller with no way to switch back
Cuttin' you up with a razor blade
Chokin' you on them, what you say?
Keepin' you up in front of me
And the Celldweller is unafraid
(Switch back)
(Switch back)
Wait, how can it be too
Late? 'Cause I don't want to
Play with such a price to
Pay
Chained to what I can't
Reclaim, I'll never be the
Same, won't be the same
Again (be the same)
(Again)
(And there's no)
(Way to)
It's too late to look back (too)
(Late to) ain't
Okay, I got no way to switch back (and there's no)
(Way to)
It's too late to look back (too)
(Late to) ain't
Okay, I got no way to switch
Back
I've got no way to switch back
It's too late to look back
Too late to look back, ain't
Okay, I got no way to (switch back)
3. Stay With Me (Unlikely)
Sick of this mind and the games it plays
Mental enemies want to push me back again
Here they come running wanting me up on that
Tree crucified (wait a minute)
Whatever words they say (me who said it)
Whomever they betray (me who did it)
Whenever they're awake it makes me die
There's so much on my mind-we're given so little
Time--there's no way to hold on as it passes by--
So lead me into denial-help me forget for awhile
Stay with me, please don't go-if you want to be
Alone stay with me, please
I don't have much else to say (unlikely)
I'd rather you go away (unlikely)
I don't need something from you (unlikely)
Though some say I will heal over time, it doesn't
Seem too likely
It seems unlikely
4. The Last Firstborn
Oh man, I can't believe
That you did what they said you did
And to this day
I've still gotta say
That in my mind I question it
I wish
I knew
What you had meant
Before you went
And left me wondering
To just an echo of your voice
'Listen...'
Now I wait to take my turn to bleed
Like a kid playing
With a razor blade
And wonder if I have
The balls at all
Or am I gonna be afraid
Where are you?
What do you think?
'cause I'm not sure when
Knocking at death's door
If I will be welcome in
Or be left alone outside
[Chorus:]
I hear the sound of a heart
From the shadow in the dark
Waiting for the poison to hit its mark
(listen--my son)
I see the darkness surround
The shape on the ground
The killer straight up
And a body face down
(firstborn-last one)
I hear the
Din of the screams,
Sorrow in streams
The smell of farewell and gasoline
(listen--my son)
I see a heart set free
And my legacy
Hear a voice from a shadow
That is beckoning me
(firstborn-last one)
I guess there comes a point
When you think to yourself
"This isn't worth it,
It isn't worth it"
And now I feel what you felt
And now I feel what you felt inside brother
And now I feel what you felt
This isn't worth it,
It isn't worth it
[Chorus]
[x6]
I wish it didn't [x4]
I wish it didn't end this way
Live a life in hell
Through a mortal shell
Asphyxiating smell
For a crime lifetime
Imagination locked in a cell
And to the other firstborn,
I see the same scene
That must play over in your mind
And now how much more
I'm sure
It's fucked with your head
Just like it's fucked up mine.
"Listen my son - firstborn last one"
The message you sent out to me-
I can't change what's meant to be
The message you sent out to me-
I can't change what's meant to be
[Chorus x2]
5. Under My Feet
So this is how it feels to suffer?
And I had too much to say
But it's over now
And I'm going down
Alone, alone
I've no guarantees
I'll recognize my disease
Before my time has gone
It's all I've found
Can't get the hell off the ground
Out from under my feet
Promises and wishes all mean nothing
When it's me that I'm speaking to
Wanting something
Won't mean I will see it through
I don't need to see these visions to remind me
That I'm dying from the inside out
Wanting you here
It still means I must do without
I can't criticize your reasons for living
When I'm the one missing them
Wanting, dreaming
That I may find where they come from
Find where they come from
Where they come from
I dream you
And I want to
Be near you
I can't get up out from under my feet
I've tried to
But can't get it through
I need to
God is all I've found
Can't get the hell off the ground
Out from under my feet
So this is how it feels, you sucker
And you've had too much to say
But it's over now
You're finally going down
Alone, alone
6. I Believe You
This is my excuse to testify been a beaten down boy
And I don't know why that's alright, that's alright
Well the truth was a lie and I don't know
How it got me to follow and it's true that the lie that was
Sold me will never let me go
What I needed you to
Say was hidden far away
This is why I've had to justify,
My head is shaken, yeah but that's alright
What I needed to believe was hidden far from me
That's alright cause I believe you
Take advantage of a malleable mind been a weakened sucker boy without
A spine that's alright, that's alright
Tell me that I've got to fight your fights, and now I'm a bleeding
Boy without a life but that's alright, that's alright
Don't feel bad because I won't cry
I'll do your will
And not ask why,
But that's alright because I believe you
7. Frozen
Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True Love behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen
I can see a frozen point in time
Where her figure still awaits
Tongue of fire tracing lips outline
Where frozen breath originates
With one motion of her waiting eyes
She strips everything away
This one moment is intensified
And colors all fade to grey
I am in the only place that I want to be
Though we know that it ends eventually
But it's alright because right now we're frozen
"I want to forget mistakes they've helped me make
It's better to be broken than to break"
Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True Love behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen
I can see a frozen point in time
That is easy to retrace
Light and darkness are both intertwined
The elements are in their place with
One motion of her wanting mind
The real world begins to fade
And all the hateful things I have become
Temporarily go away
Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True Love behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen
When my mind's frozen:
I'll take you anywhere you want to go
Far from anything that feels like home (lets go)
You are anyone I want to be (it's here and now, and now it's only you and me)
It's never enough (mmm that's true)
I want to stay here (yeah, and I do too)
Breakin' it down (takin' it down)
With smell (smell), touch touch, taste (taste), sight (sight), and sound (sound)
How long will I be here without you near because I'm so cold
Break them first or I'll get broken is not what I was told, now I'm so cold
I'm so cold
So cold
Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True Love behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen
Inside this fantasy
It seems so real to me
Synthetic ecstasy, when her legs are open
True Love behind a wall
Where men and angels fall
A fading memory, when my mind is frozen
8. Symbiont
"Control my tiniest motions
Withhold my simplest needs
I wish you weren't this close now
I wish you didn't succeed
Yeah, so what - it's another day
You're gonna take it from me anyway
I can't seem to remember now
What it was like to live life before you, symbiont
I want to go but I have to stay
I know you'd be there anyway
I need you and you need me
So much for bliss when I kiss this enemy
Mine
Were dancing on a thin line
Control my tiniest motions
Withhold my simplest needs
I wish I didn't need you now
I wish you didn't need me
Yeah, so what - it's another day
You're gonna take it from me anyway
I can't seem to remember now
What it was like to live life before you, symbiont
I want to go but I have to stay
It doesn't matter if I leave because you'd be there
Anyway
I need you and you need me
So much for bliss when I kiss this enemy
Mine
Were dancing on a thin line
Erasable - Expendable
Untraceable Unmendable
Erasable - Expendable
I Wish I didn't need you now
And I Wish you didn't need me
I Wish I didn't need you now
And I Wish you didn't need me
Need You Now
You Need Me
Cause you hate me
And I hate you
But you need me
And I need you
I need you
Need you now"
9. Afraid This Time
Build them up-high and strong
So you'll never have to hurt too long
Put them up-til they surround
And there's no real you left to be found
Hold it up-high above no fear of hope or trust
Or love
Close it up-and hold your ground and wait until
It's time to finally close it down
"even if you want--you can't hurt me now"
(this isn't easy to admit but I don't think I'm
Believing it-I'm afraid this time)
10. Fadeaway
I'm not clear how it is that I ended up here
(Let me help you clear your clouded memory - it's easy
Cause nobody in the world could know you better then me)
Déjà vu - think of you now so far, once so near
(Don't get all sentimental using up your prime - showtime
This pile of shit you're shovelin's getting hard to climb)
Tangled in my own reflection - on the way down - Fadeaway
With my hands on my mind I hold wounds that won't mend
(Well just stop trying to be something that you're not - Maggot
You'll never shake me, never break me and never overtake me)
With my eyes opened wide I can see it's the end...
Tangled in my imperfections - on the way down - Fadeaway
Don't hate me now
They've torn away the ground from under me
Right after they were reassured that I believed
Normality is not a word I understand at all
I set myself up for the fall(Fadeaway)
Withdrawing deep into the hole(Fadeaway)
This isolated little hell leaves me cold and faded
(Fadeaway fadeaway fadeaway)
(Fadeaway fadeaway fadeaway)
I'm my one and only friend - I am my worst enemy
I find new methods to pretend that this is not reality
(Don't be lonely - now I'm your only...)
Just stay far away from me
When I fadeaway from me (Just stay far away from me)
Just stay far away from me (Just stay far away from me)
When I fadeaway from me (Just stay far away from me)
When I fadeaway from me (Just stay far away from me)
When I fadeaway from me (Just stay far away from me)
When I fadeaway from me (Just stay far away from me)
When I fadeaway from me
When I'm not all I used to be
Yeah when I fadeaway from me
When I stuck between myself and me
When I fadeaway from me
Decline - More whine - Deadline - All mine.
11. -----
So so so so so so so lost
For so long
I cannot tell
How in my mind
In what moment in time
I woke up…
In this cell…
12. So Sorry To Say
So lost tell me how can it be I'm desperately
Trying to understand why I will push you from
Me so close but so far away I cannot see how
This happened to me I'm so sorry to say
So lost for so long I cannot tell how in my
Mind and what moment in time I woke up in this
Cell so close yet so far away I cannot see how
This happened to me I'm so sorry to say
I want you to go away from me
I want you so much to stay with me
13. Own Little World
Mutual sight, mutual sound
Mutual struggle, for shared ground
It's safe to say, they'll try to take from me
I'm just another one for them to break down
Steeped in denial of the daily grind
Dream of a world for me and my kind
It's safe in the alternative reality
So stick your standards where the sun doesn't shine
They're for themselves, it doesn't matter what they say
Promise the world they take it from you anyway
They'll break you down making your vision fadeaway
It's time to go: get outta my space
Welcome to a world where the air I breathe is mine
Nothing to overwhelm me and nothing to cloud my mind
Be anyone, do anything I'd ever want to try
Time doesn't exist here, I will never die
(Own little world)
Explain the reasons, explain the rhymes
It's not required, inside our minds
It's safe to try, no need to justify
Or take their guilt trip at the end of the line.
They're for themselves, it doesn't matter what they say
Promise the world then take, then take your universe away
They'll break you down making your vision fadeaway
It's time to go: get off of my case
Welcome to a world where the air I breathe is mine
Nothing to overwhelm me and nothing to cloud my mind
Be anyone, do anything I'd ever want to try
Time doesn't exist here
Slip into a world where the air I breathe is mine
Nothing to overwhelm me and nothing to cloud my mind
Come with me into it and you know what you will find
Time doesn't exist here, we will never die
(Our own little world)
They're for themselves, it doesn't matter what they say
It's time to go: get out of my face
Welcome to a world where the air I breathe is mine
Nothing to overwhelm me and nothing to cloud my mind
Be anyone, do anything I'd ever want to try
Time doesn't exist here
Slip into a world where the air I breathe is mine
Nothing to overwhelm me and nothing to cloud my mind
Come with me into it and you know what you will find
Time doesn't exist here, we will never die
(Our own little world)
14. Unlikely (Stay With Me)
Stay…
Please…
Stay…
Please…
Please don’t stay (says in reverse)
Please don’t (says in reverse)
Please don’t stay (says in reverse)
Please don’t (says in reverse)
Please…
Stay…
Please don’t - Stay - Please don’t - Stay - Please
Please don’t
Please…
Please don’t
Don’t stay with me please
Please don’t
Please don’t
Please don’t
Please don’t
Don’t stay with me please
15. One Good Reason
Made the mistake of opening my mouth
Thought you'd understand but I guess
That thinking doesn't count act all
Concerned--well, sucks for me man
Can't wait to see where you will be
When it finally hits the fan
You tell me I shouldn't want to die
But can't give me one good reason
Why
Oh give it up and get out of my way
Don't bother patronizing me just cause
You've got nothing to say I've taken
What you've told me-I was ready to
Apply "liars can't be trusted" man, but
You're the one who lied
One time my spine controlled by your
Small mind so many reasons for what
You've justified (don't kill yourself)
16. The Stars Of Orion
Go some place... Go some place…
Go some place… Go some place…
Far away from here
Go some place… Far away from here
Go some place… Far away from here
Go some place… Far away from here
Go some place… Far away from here
Far away from here… Far away from here
Go some place… Far away from here
Go some place… Far away from here
Go some place… Far away from here
Go some place… Far away from here
Go some place… Far away from here
Go some place… Far away from here
Go some place… Far away from here
Go some place… Far away from here
Far away from here… Far away from here…
Far away from here… Far away from here…
17. -----
With my hands on my mind
I hold wounds that won’t mend
With my eyes open wide
I can see…
It’s the end…
18. Welcome To The End
"Welcome home" she said to me
"Let's hide away before they see.
I need so much to be alone with you, I do"
"Come with me" she took my hand
"Please try to help me understand"
So pointless when my heart has
Turned to stone, I know
[Chorus:]
I wish I didn't need you now.
I wish I didn't need you now.
I wish I didn't need you now.
I need you now.
I need you now.
"I wish we could" she whispered near
"Go some place far away from here."
While hoping that small voice would
Disappear that said "Welcome to the end"
