What is the universal language? Could it be hate if it's not love? Could it be money, sex or power? I say it's music and none of the above Don't you hear what you say When you act that way Can't you see you're using the wrong fucking language A language I don't know Do you feel an evil in the world? Do you chase the dollar or the girl? What's the motivation in your life? Is it to feel alive? Well then.

Try but you can't bring me down Try but you can't let me Try but you can't bring me down Try I've come too far now To ever close my eyes Made my mistakes And I wear no disguise I speak my mind and let the rumors Twist the worlds around Some try so hard, but no one gets me down I get so stressed out I keep running out of time I'll do my best to make A better life I feel your doubt and I don't even Wonder why Got it figured out All I have to do is try When times get tough, I'll rise above Can't get me down, no you can't Let me down, I made my mistakes Wear no disguise, I've come too far now To ever close my eyes

She was with him, now everybody knows Cause she told a friend, and that's the way it goes People have loose lips, sometimes behind your back You know, that's how they get their kicks When the conversation lacks, you know Tell a tale of contradiction Gossip causes crucifixtion They talk too much shut up They talk too much And I don't like what they say It's just a bunch of bullshit anyway He took her out to see what he could get He got nothing but had to tell the guys he had That's how rumors start Just how they end I don't know Go on spread the word I don't listen anymore

I see it in us, I see it in us I know it's in us but I I see it in us, I see it in us I see it's in us but I I can't quite put my finger on it We're all guilty of it How many times do we end up with nothing When we try real hard and only see it one way We think we'll go further but where will we be? Just one step closer, still moving closer To a million miles backwards Reality reasons, it wasn't meant to be All this time I felt so strongly And it was all for nothing Nothing I think I finally figured it out

Hear what I'm saying It was always true I was never playing When it came to you Never good at showing What you mean to me Here's my last chance To set my mind at ease And all the times you slipped Between the cracks disguised As something sacred Never knowing that I wanted you Hold you in my arms, protect you Never let the world upset you Handing my life over to you I was always running searching for excuses not to be together Now the chase is over with this ring on your finger This will be forever

Innocent kids! Young, dumb, and naive Told when to come and when to leave Used and abused, like a bad habit does Then accepted and neglected like and MTV buzz Innocent kids! Make a past for yourself Get out the handbook Off the fucking shelves So put on your best fake smiles and Pull the knives out of their backs This better than you fantasy Has been done kids, way, way back! Sorry it took so long, for you to see Made up your past now What's the future gonna be? Innocent kids!

Once again you find yourself Alone without a cause Still the same bad habits But you haven't paid the cost Still searching for the seed That grew into your need That's who you are don't hide the scar Now you look around for sympathy Your life's a fuckingg mess And she can't look into your eyes And never hate to guess She's looking for a stone That crushed into your home And you're still wanting to believe That you can cover up the scar That's who you are, we see the scar That's who and what we see the cut Wear the scar that's who you are Thinking back to when You were a lost and lonely kid A look back at the tragic And the damage that it did Still waiting for the day It all just goes away That's who you are don't hide the scar Now you know the reason Why you feel so full of hate Throw a stone I'm sure you'll Hit someone who can relate And now you know the reason For the way you are But you're still wanting to believe That you can cover up the scar That's who you are, we see the scar That's who and what we see the cut Wear the scar that's who you are

When you talk about your homelife I try to identify With my own memories Childhood life was such a breeze But now i'm slipping away From the boy my mother made I'm growing on, but i hold on To the days that made me fell so Powerless and ignorant Without a cent, without the sense to know That one day i would have to try To survive and go First time you gotta leave your home Second time you live alone Third time you just don't know Fourth time you gotta pack your life and go On the day my father died I was too naive to cry Inside i was so unclear I always thought he's reappear But now i'm slipping away From the lost child he made I'm growing but i hold on To his name and to the days of Innocence and selfishness I find these things impossible to shake But i won't break, until i take Take a fuckingg chance and go

Standing alone in a situation Somebody's talking their shit Trying to control my frustration Somebody's gonna get hit But when is it right to fight? And when is it right to walk away? Sometimes we have no choice And this is the price we pay Cause we don't have to be What people see Got our own minds Got our own realities We try to stick together And let the music be our might But this time there's gonna be a fight We're not about senseless violence Don't wanna spoil the fun But when you get pushed, feels like an ambush And this time you cannot run This time wrong or right

If I say something that you don't like Just think about it cause I may be right If I say something just hear me out Cause I just might know what I'm talking about If I say something whatever I say Cause my words have meaning and that's the truth Life's full of problems and baby that's ok Inside the crew and that's the way So just remember that what I say When I say something well don't turn your head I'm here to help you when things go wrong Lean on my shoulder my friend

All the feeling Leaving you Till you left alone inside a hollow shell Twice repeated Me then you Till your left alone not knowing who to blame But I, I see the handle to the hilt You know I'm always pulling But they, they won't stop They won't stop pushing I remember Feeling guilty Was it something I did? Or was it what I said? It's not you, it's not me The situations telling us to be Not you, not me It's what the world has left us to be

Sitting by myself at home Waiting for a ring I fight the urge to pick it up so I can do my thing I try to stay connected to The lives of everyone Tonight i'm calling you Cause i got nothing better to do I feel so alone and I Can't get off the phone I hope you're not at home cause I Can't get off the phone I know it's my obsession But i see you got nothing better to do I call because hearing is believing And the only time I can't hear it ringing Is when I'm singing The phone is an extension To my arm and mind I talk, talk, talk to dusk to dawn Cause all I got is time

Am I responsible for what I think and feel? Is there a model I could never be Am I depending on you To show, to say, to tell me what to do Because I think, I say It helps me find a way To voice my opinion without all this shit And I know, I try to read between the lines Cause some truth may lie there waiting But I don't I won't sit back and let it happen I will stand up, I won't sit back And watch the tables turn Is this a lesson that we've all got to learn How can one person really know? And set a path for me to follow Reality deviod of truth Can only represent the concrete proof That I need to hear It tells me what to fear To voice my opinion without all this shit

Wake up, don't give up Get off your knees It's your last chance Or will you Blame it all on circumstance Where will you go? When times are slow And your still Waiting for your next command Waiting for your next command Never gave your dreams a chance Blamed it all on circumstance Wake up, don't give up

My family looks out for me like friends Our story never ends We've run into the fire And somehow water comes to save us There are so few we can depend on With blood there is an honor We behave like we don't care But it's so deep inside It's more, more than you can see It's thicker than water It means more, so much more to me It's thicker than water We've all been struggling since I was three How happy can we be? We've turned some bad times into good Always knowing where we stood Now time has led us to the water We get by on H2O But remember what is stronger And we let it flow It runs so thick inside my viens Through all the heartache and the pain And everything I've come to be It's more than you can see
