Act Fast

Things never seem to turn out just right
Why i don't know
Things used to move way to fast
Now it seems to move so slow
We used to do lots of cool stuff
Now i just sit and watch tv
Life used to be so exciting
What is wrong with me

*chorus*
Life is
Supposed to be spontaneous
When we're young
Everything is supposed to move to fast
But lately
Nothing seems too exciting
I've been getting lazier
Always out first and always in last

I think about the way things used to be
And then i kick myself
Cuz i know it will never be the same
Sometimes i wish i was someone else
I just get so god damn bored
Sometimes i feel like i'm dead
Everything is too calm
I know it's not all in my head

I dont' know
Why you do
Everything that you do
Seems to me
You can't see
Just how much
That you've changed
And everything
That you do
Turns my skin black and blue
And why do you
Just proceed to beat the crap out of me

*chorus*
Am i finding too much out about you
Why didn't you tell me i thought that i should know
You should have been straight with me and told me of your past
I should have told me i shouldn't have had to ask

You wear a mask
So we won't see through
You won't let us
See the real you
You're insecure
And afraid
Of what we might really think
You've got to learn
To not care too much
About what we think
And more about what you want
The real you inside
Is who we want to know
So just drop the act
And let it go

I'm sick
Of what you put me through
Trying to hide
What is really you
You are not
Fooling anyone
So drop the act
And have some fun

You show discontent
That's fine, i don't care
You're never happy anyway
You care way too much
About what everyone else thinks
They might have liked you
But then you had to change

*chorus*
Good times will come
People will change
It could be worse you could be left with nothing
Instead you've got everything you want
You're empty inside
But only you know
You'll have everything
So it will not show
Nothing's ever good enough for you

You say you're giving up?
You say life's too hard?
That's typical for you, you never were very strong
You say it's too hard to try
And things can't get better
Like you're the only one with problems
You've always been self centered

This is it
We're all going down
What would be next
What unsuspecting town
Trajedies have come and gone
What horrors lay in the dark
The echo of another shot
Another psycho makes his mark

*chorus*
This is when we all fall
When everyday kids
Are dying in hs halls
Children lying dead
It seems that everyday
Another hate filled kid
Another trajedy

What a way to end it
With drug dealers and gangs
Living amongst us
Causing violence and hate
With ignorant parents
Missing every sign
Another kid with a gun
How many more have to die
