1. _ Wrong or Right
You used to think you knew it all
You used to stand so proud and tall
Until the day you found
That everything can change
Just take it easy
Take it one step at a time
If you can't have everything
You don't want anything at all
Is this wrong or right?
Is this wrong or right?
Is this wrong or right?
In all the questions that you ask
A silent longing for the past
That's when you say things were the way
They should've been
Made peace with everyone
Everyone except yourself
Don't try to lie to me
I know you all too well
Is this wrong or right?
Is this wrong or right?
Is this wrong or right?
Someone is watching
This other life, this part of me
Someone is watching
This other life, this part of me
Someone is watching
This other life, this part of me
Someone is watching
This other life

2. _ Stand Your Ground
You worked through all this trouble
Now you left the past behind
You're winning, you're losing, you're learning,
You're living your life with inspiration
Suffered and you've sinned
And now that it's over, you're older
You've learned to depend on your own actions
You consider their point of view
Found strength in a person
And found out that person was you
This fight inside, this battle without end
With strength and motivation you'll never run again
Never run away, never run away, never run away
You've got to stand your ground and see this through
From ignorance to competence, this coupled with intelligence
Its struggle and its common sense, this boy becomes a man
It's not some of the time, it's not most of the time
It's all of the time or none of the time
It's everything in everything, you do the best you can
You're never satisfied, you've got to see this through
This fight inside, this battle without end
With strength and motivation you'll never run again
Never run away, never run away, never run away
You've got to stand your ground and see this through
Most of us spend a life time running away

3. _ System
You never heard a word your father said until he said goodbye and now you walk these streets in agony just looking for the reason why You try to tell me that you've played it safe, lain in wait, looking for your reason to shine. And all this talk about intensity your destiny, you're telling me You're going to be just fine I want to believe you, but it's too late Finally you've come to see that nothings as it really seems Your broken dreams, your blue skies turn to gray. and now you've left me kind of dangling, wondering if ever really felt this way I want to believe you, but it's too late You say you're going to prove yourself right say you won't go down without a fight you don't know how "the system " is going to let you live, but words alone almost always mean nothing the look in your eyes I know that you're bluffing. Truth be known I think you never had the will to give Waste away your life no motivation now But now I've leamed how to walk away and let you go your separate way before you drag me down And in between your tears you scream and shout "you're selling out the water is overhead but I won't drown" I want to believe you, but it's too late.

5. _ Silent Crime
I won't be the one to say every thing's going to be alright
Even though I thought I caught you crying on the phone last night
And how can I say that I know what it's like
When there's nothing to believe in, there nobody listening?
We've seen it all before and the boy who lives next door
Who gains your trust and has his way
And all the bruises heal, but not the shame
Inflicted by this viciousness and everyone's to blame
It's a known injustice, it's a silent crime
That everyone pretends that they can't see
She already locked away the memories inside
And lives in a prison while he walks free
What kind of world have we become
Has everybody lost control?
Was there ever a time when anyone could feel safe
Wherever they go
Instead of living in fear suspecting everyone
Nobody wants to get involved
Sit and watch your neighbors die
Do you think that you're absolved?
It's a known injustice, it's a silent crime
That everyone pretends that they can't see
She already locked away the memories inside
And lives in a prison while he walks free
I think about it everyday and I don't think it's gonna change
I think about it everyday and I don't think it's gonna change
It's a known injustice, it's a silent crime
That everyone pretends that they can't see
She already locked away the memories inside
And lives in a prison while he walks free

6. _ Swing Shift
When you first fell in love
I know you knew that it would never last
Felt like some thing's taken from you
Strange, how things they change so fast
Now I've grown so cold and bitter
A statue made of stone sometimes
I pray I wouldn't feel like I am
Somehow better off alone
Heard your conversation
It's not enough to make me change my mind
It's hard enough to live
With so much left inside
Heard your conversation
It's not enough to make me change my mind
It's hard enough to live
With so much left inside
I try to live my life
And take it step by step and day by day
Throw off these chains of instability
And find the light to lead my way
Answers, explanations, questions
Each bridge has its toll
I swore to God, I had more strength than that
But I'm not too strong to lose control
Heard your conversation
It's not enough to make me change my mind
It's hard enough to live
With so much left inside
Heard your conversation
It's not enough to make me change my mind
It's hard enough to live
With so much left inside
I'm so tired of waiting, it's somehow frustrating
To get it together, get out of this town
I'm so tired of waiting, it's somehow frustrating
To get it together, get out of this town
I'm so tired of waiting, it's somehow frustrating
To get it together, get out of this town
I'm so tired of waiting, it's somehow frustrating
To get it together, get out of this town

7. _ Tragic Flaw
You're only moving faster, falling further, slip away from me
This failing situation breeds frustration in all I try to be
I just can't understand what makes you feel this way
I just can't stand to sit and watch you walk away
Sometimes I feel like I'm to blame
Sometimes I feel like there's nothing left for me to say
Left with all these memories, but they don't look the same
And in my mind I picture them, they seem so far away
I think of how things used to be without comfort
Without shame
Where is the lesson I should have learned?
Why can't I find my way?
Try to ask the reason, keep on reaching for a broken dream
I reach a revelation, I'm not waiting on some fantasy
And I can't hate you for what you've done
Just made me realize you're not the one
What you are and what you were are not the same
I guess I was right the first time
I'm not the only one to blame
Left with all these memories, but they don't look the same
And in my mind, I picture them, they seem so far away
I think of how things used to be without comfort
Without shame
Where is the lesson I should have learned?
Why can't I find my way?
Still breathing, believing
Go ahead and turn your back on me
You're losing that feeling
You don't know what it means to me

10. _ Perfect World
Somewhere between a lie and truth
Lies a subtle line of gray and
Although it's undetectable
It's reflected in all we say
We don't want to hate or judge each other
We just want to live our lives
To save ourselves, we must seek the truth
And recognize these rites
I have my motivation, prejudice and pain
I will not live my life, live my life in vain
I have my motivation, prejudice and pain
No, I will not live my life, live my life in vain
This more-than-human condition
A denial of our flaws
We want the effects of perfection
But disregard the cause
A simple mistaken judgment
An unmistakable fact of life
We want to say we can do no wrong
But wrong's what defines right
In a perfect world, in a perfect world
In a perfect world that I can't live
In a perfect world, in a perfect world
In a perfect world that I can't live
In a perfect world, in a perfect world
In a perfect world that I can't live
We're fallible, we're so fragile
We suffer for our sins
We have to learn to learn from our mistakes
And somehow make amends
Stress and instability
Depression and dismay
We want to live without regrets
But there is no other way
You can't have it, you can't have it all

12. _ Bottom Line
You stand in line beside me try to tell me of this life.
Success is only failure if it doesn't meet the bottom line.
And then you try to tell me that I don't even try.
Ignorance and apathy you don't know you don't care,
You measure your own worth by the classist trappings that you wear.
And then you try to tell me that I don't even try.
You try to justify your hate your hate,
Is the only thing you have you have nothing of your own,
Your own life's nothing but a sham.
Where are you now?
