Out of Sync

Strap me down
Stitch me back together
I'm a broken glass
That shares the same reflection
But I'm somehow indistinct
Tear away
The parts that make me someone I'm
Not to be
To feel as though
I'm living,
Just living out of sync
Mentally divided, physically colliding
I'm always on my own
Physically divided, mentally colliding
I'm never on my own
You
As we fall
We are one, but still we are apart
Who are you to tell me what to do
We will never be the same
Tear away
Take me back to someplace I
Shouldn't be
To feel as though I'm living is
All I have
And you won't tell me who I am
I said you won't tell me
Who I am
Mentally divided, physically colliding
I'm always on my own
Physically divided, mentally colliding
I'm never
on my own
You
As we fall
We are one, but still we are apart
Who are you to tell me what to do
We will never be the same
You
As we fall
We are one, but still we are apart
Who are you to tell me what to do
We will never be
The same

It started with a weakness
And falling down, falling down
She kept it as a secret,
Her gown
She spends her time waiting,
Looking up, praying to the Sun
She spends her time hating,
Everyone
She's not the only one waiting
And all you had to take
Was a step in the right direction
But then they all found out
And burnt her heart, burnt her heart
Amidst the screaming and shouts,
They tore her life apart
She's standing
Staring at the fire in the sky
She's waiting for Hell
She's not the only one waiting
And all you had to take
Was a step in the right direction

Wake me up, I've been
Living in dreams of those around me
Life won't be
Exactly what you wanted
You've been trying so hard to be
Taking away each part of me
But it's best you fight your own fight
Because I'm splitting in two and it starts with you
You can't erase this
You can't replace this
It's been too long
To say goodbye now
Is this the chance we've been waiting for?
You might not like what you get, but it's
Where you belong
I'm done, I'm gone - There'll be no more
Going back is no option - I am out the door
I have nothing to say because I've said it before
Now and then I can feel the
push, the pull
The gentle tug that drags me out of the world
And I float there in orbit, on a path to
Nowhere and everywhere I hope to be
With all the lies that you said to me
You've taken them back through your own
dishonesty
And now I'm taking it back, now I'm taking it back
Now I'm taking this back from you
You can't erase this
You can't replace this
It's been too long to say goodbye...
Is this the chance we've been waiting for?
You might not like what you get, but it's
Where you belong
I'm done, I'm gone - there'll be no more
Going back is no option - I am out the door
I have nothing to say because I've said it
before
Is this the chance we've been waiting for?
You might not like what you get, but it's
Where you belong
I'm done, I'm gone - there'll be no more
Going back is no option - I am out the door
I have nothing to say because I've said it before
I have nothing to say, I've said it before
You have nothing to say, I've heard it before
The lock clicks, the door slams, the engines rust
Noise fades
And I fall asleep

Counterfeit

I've got my foot in the door
But my head's out the window
And my hands are around my neck
She calls me a whore
But I'm just a widow
Too cheap to charge for rent
The road to Heaven has a toll booth at the
end
Hey yeah, but falling down's for free
Everyone says there's plenty of fish in the sea
Then why do families go hungry?
I believed in chasing dreams and finding true love
You're the one who proved me wrong
I'm living out a hopeless scene
I can see your eyes are faded
Worn with time, your mind is jaded
We shouldn't have hesitated
Our right have been confiscated
Hate has been emancipated
Apathy is overrated
If only we could stop just to find a meaning
Nickels and dimes are what they want from me
But I just can't make the change
I've got 2 cents in my brain
And I'm going insane
Yeah, I'm staying the same
Runaway,
You can't turn back now, can't turn back
Time to pay the fee
I believed in chasing dreams and finding true love
You're the one who proved me wrong
I'm living out a hopeless scene
I can see your eyes are faded
Worn with time, your mind is jaded
We shouldn't have hesitated
Our right have been confiscated
Hate has been emancipated
Apathy is overrated
If only we could stop just to find a meaning
Just to find a meaning

Never knocked down
Never beaten
Never had to stand your ground
You think you're special
That you deserve it
Wipe your eyes, your daddy's gone
Stupid, spoiled rotten
You think you've been forgotten
You need to earn respect not shut your eyes and claim offenses
Sick of your first world issues
You can't be thinking this through
You need to own your eyes, oh when will you come to your sense?
I can't speak at all
You're keeping us from moving on
Discussions keep us going strong
And time is wasting
Silence cuz you don't agree
But how else will you ever see
Your sheltered world's a broken dream
Your life's been wasted
No one loses, no one wins
When everybody plays defense
Blame outside instead of in
To make up for your confidence
Claim must be persecution
To stand out from the crowd you're in
Scream justice until the end
Instead of ever looking in
Stupid, spoiled rotten
You think you've been forgotten
You need to earn respect not shut your eyes
and claim offenses
Sick of your first world issues
You can't be thinking this through
You need to own your eyes, oh when will you come to your senses?
No one loses, no one wins
When everybody plays defense
Blame outside instead of in
To make up for your confidence
Claim must be persecution
To stand out from the crowd you're in
Scream justice until the end
Instead of ever looking in
You think you're special
The whole world's got your back against the wall
So you'll cry - it's unfair
So that they'll accommodate
(Stupid, spoiled rotten
You think you've been forgotten
You need to earn respect not shut your eyes and claim offenses)

This is not the first time
But it just might be the last
I've been running circles
Far too long, trying to catch up with the past
And I'm tired of hoping
I'm tired of feeling wrong
This time I'm going
Am I already gone?
I don't know why
I don't care
Don't stay, just leave me be
I won't be the one, I won't be the one
Where's the life that's promised?
The dreams of safety
We need a path
Back to reason
Take me back in time to where
Our childhood stories
Meant something
More than just words
Where did it go?
It's getting hard to tell now
When we lock our doors to friends
Are we undoing the ropes,
Or tying up their hands?
And I'm tired of hoping,
I'm tired of feeling wrong
Yeah, this time I'm going
I'm already gone
There's no going back
I won't be the one, I won't be the one
Where's the life that's promised?
A careless shelter
We need a path
Back to reason
Take me back in time to where
Our childhood stories
Meant something
More than just words
You said that if we tried
We could reach a higher light
But I can see it in your eyes
You know you lied
Now go away
As we stand here
A new beginning
A life of promise
But we just stare
We don't ask why, we don't ask why
It just begins
We start again
