Can I Live? 01:51
Should I hit the ground twice as hard for being held up in such a high regard? Is my presence only in demand for what I provide and not who I am? You swear that things will change as I sit and force a smile Ask for me to lend an inch but I force a fucking mile Time after time, I've tried to give the best that I can give But now I have to ask just how can I live?
2.
Grip 01:38
Day after day I live the claim And though the times have changed one thing remains the same My convictions remaining true and that's more than I can say for you A sense of control- complete command The line in the sand that draws out where I stand I can depend on myself without a guiding hand For you, a weak will without a place It's something you won't face- can't see the signs Keep slipping and slipping as I continue to climb When things go wrong my thought's still right and I'm strong enough to put up the fight My convictions remaining true and that's more than I can say for you My grip is strong- I'll be holding on forever
3.
Not Yours 00:52
Played for fools but we're the ones who've learned Head to the ground as you eat your words "Time mends all" is what you say But what was broken anyway? (Try and) come back around with all your might As if our respect's a god-given right Your uncertainty, I've seen it before From the first time you walked out that door Trying to cheapen what is not yours I know it's your choice to walk away But what makes you think my life is yours for the taking?
4.
Disregard a loved one's needs to keep fueling your greed I doubt it's hard for you to believe it all leads back to my insecurities What could have been before has left me searching for something more But was it ever "just out of my reach" or at an arms length away? And do you feel the same? Turn to a drink to ease your pain and drown in your own spite Take it out on the ones who can't put up an equal fight Does it make me less of a man cause I fight the urge to turn to my fists when I can't understand? Or am I fool to bother to ask if we had the chance, would you change the past? How is it fair that's all that's left for me is the vision of you being all I can see when I look into the mirror Your once distant face becoming clearer and nearer Anticipating what awaits overtime's built up to my unwelcome hate Does it make me less of a man cause I can't understand? The past has passed, it's time to shake you from my grasp
5.
Here I stand in dismay as you're casting stones coming back your way See, your hate so strong for one's beliefs has made a weight so strong it pulled me to my knees Cutting down both far and near but it's plain to see that it's out of fear Let's get something straight, I can relate Pain is something we all feel But you sit back and wait to retaliate instead of fighting for something real To heal First to point a finger to avoid defeat an ancient thought that's become so obsolete I can't show you a thing if you're not willing to learn but it's your well being that is my main concern What more can I say? Will I ever get through? Or am I throwing myself at something that just won't move? Can't make much of a life living in black and white And what will you build with misguided hands and blinded eyes?
