What is Fun 02:15
You were waiting for the train to come Acting like we never tried and never came undone You were looking like you couldn't breathe I just turned my head in disbelief I can't deny it I never came around I can't decide what is then and what is done And what is fun. There was one day when you came around Everthing was ok then Nothing kept us down But wounds are things that always tend to bleed And you just use my love to get relief I can't deny it I never came around I can't decide what is then and what is done And what is fun.

Maybe don't worry I'm perfect tonight Maybe I'll come round and sit for awhile Maybe I'll come round and get on your nerves You can't touch me today Cos it's life in your face You were so attached to what you believe There was a shitload of sides you don't see I would just come round and laugh and disgrace You can't touch me today Cos it's life in your face You try to talk me round But your flaw is common ground If it helps you sleep at night I'm like this all the time.
3.
Fear of the ones that make it You sat around and let them take it You just accept to fake it And others joy makes you feel naked now A lifetime of anonymity A prison of mediocrity You live the weak man's dream You prefer to be left be When you see others rise You can't stand to see them smile You see a charm giving up You break commitment down to luck You'll always choose the quick way out I call it planting seeds of doubt You claim it's contemplation But your mind works on automation You claim emancipation In fact your world's a hater nation now You're stuck in a bleak purgatory Unlikely to ever struggle free You live a life of nods and shrugs Where Warmth and comfort is your drug You feel alive and most at home When haters run the show You need approval to decide You're more content to fall in line You think success is selling out I call it planting seeds of doubt Walk through each day with nothing to leave behind Look for the edge and never believe your mind The pain that you feel is a product of self design Sharpen the blade until you enjoy the grind You assume and think you know You would prefer to just lay low You live a life that's in your head You'd rather stay at home in bed You think your thought's are really deep You think that shallowness is cheap You don't believe in acting out I call it planting seeds of doubt

Amberlene 02:57
My Amberlene is on everyone's mind now I can't believe how you wanna deny how My Amberlene is on everyone's mind now You can believe what you want I was there all along When she walks by she sees I'm lost in my brain And she takes pride in my mistaken delay I got everything I need in my head You can believe what you want I was there along My Amberlene is on everyone's mind now I can't believe how you wanna deny how My Amberlene is on everyone's mind now You can believe what you want I was there all along I got my hands in my pockets and I'm waiting I got a line on my head from all the hating And if you wanna see pathetic well I been there You can believe what you want I was there all along She walks by and I'm defeated again A year goes by and everything is the same The weekend's here so I can scatter my brain You can believe what you want I was there all along I got my hands in the pocket and I'm waiting I got a line on my head from all the hating And if you wanna see pathetic well I been there You can believe what you want I was there all along My Amberlene is on everyone's mind now I can't believe how you wanna deny how My Amberlene is on everyone's mind now You can believe what you want I was there on my own

Victim 02:52
6.
Try to keep my head down and running Try to keep my eyes down I'm burning up Try to keep my head down and running They're all on my mind Walking on wire You were right for once but then you let 'em down If you were wrong or right it doesn't matter now Cos the creeps are sworn in 'til it's six in the morning Then your coming down You'll be on the steps until you hit it right Should be sweet by now but she was dynamite And if you say a thing I'm good to throw it all in That's if you say it just right Try to keep my head down and running Try to keep my eyes down I'm burning up Try to keep my head down and running It's all in my mind and walking on wire What do you know What do you say Where would you go If you went away The clock is on time And tickin' just fine You might get left back if you don't leave it behind It was all wrong But you were alright The end is right there Unless you keep it in sight Let the game be Despite what you see Just take it from me
7.
I.C.E 02:18
I seen her round today And things just ain't the same And now she's on my mind And I'm wasting all my time So now I know what hope can bring It's never given me one thing There she goes again Now she's running round with him Emotions rot my mind I just wait and bide my time Oh can't you see the state I'm in I'm living like a weakling Why not just take it all You live to make me fall I can't escape your heart And it's ripping me apart
8.
Schemin' 03:31
Schemin', Schemin' all the time Schemin', Schemin' on my mind You don't wanna know what I've been schemin with my time You might never find out what, that's my sweetest crime And I've been Schemin' all the day You don't wanna know what I've been schemin' Schemin', I want my revenge Schemin', Your role all depends If you wanna know wanna know what I been schemin' with my time You been running round your head and I been running wild and I been. Schemin' all the day You don't wanna know what I've been schemin' Is there something on your mind you won't tell me Is their something in your heart that won't let you be
9.
Debt 03:38
You like to give When you take it away You stick around so that Everyone needs you to stay You used to say Time was still on our side You used to sit on the fence When you don't take my side If anyone could see you now The irony would strike you down With all the debt you had to spend You couldn't buy yourself a friend And when you ask these things of me I find it hard that you can't see That everyone was on your side But then you spoiled it all with pride You got the means to make things right You got beliefs that get you lost without a spine And when you let your conscience be Then you might grace us with your superiority If anyone could see you now The irony would strike you down With all the debt you had to spend You couldn't buy yourself a friend And when you ask these things of me I find it hard that you can't see That everyone was on your side But then you spoiled it all with pride You'd like to live Others say it's too late You got no corners to turn And nothing left to take Time does it's thing And for you that's ok You walk around in a haze But you think you're engaged. If anyone could see you now The irony would strike you down With all the debt you had to spend You couldn't buy yourself a friend And when you ask these things of me I find it hard that you can't see That everyone was on your side But then you spoiled it all with pride

Eulogy 04:07
If you were born with a thorn in your side You might relate with everything you try to hide Turn the clock back and you'd know Everyone needs a fix all the time It's just a bitch when nothing's all that makes you smile Turn the clock back it all hurt All this time you've were waiting and I know That this time you'll be waiting... There's some good in everything you wanna say It's just a bitch you never say it anyway Turn the clock back and you'd know If you tried to shift the blame weight off of me It might not do a thing but I just wanna see Turn the clock back it all hurt All this time you've been waiting and I know That this time you'll be waiting far more Did you wanna set right? Could you ever sleep at night? Did you think of where you been? Did you care bout anything? Did you get your peace of mind? Was it all a waste of time? I don't think you were to blame I don't look at you the same They all tell me I'm wrong Like it's normal your gone And now life carried on.
11.
You can try but you never deceive me You just climb for the upper ground It's only fair when you say you don't believe me But it's been years since you burned your crown There was something that you said that day They weren't listening to you anyway Declare to me there ain't a prayer for me But you don't ever tell me why Now it's clear to me you ain't got eyes to see But you don't never tell a lie Looking round for a benign emotion They're lining up just to see you fall Try to hide but the wheels was in motion You leave them smiling and you made the call There was something that you said that day They weren't listening to you anyway You declare to me there ain't a prayer for me But you don't ever tell me why Now it's clear to me you ain't got eyes to see But you don't never tell a lie Talk it up and get shut down The sideline folk will watch you drown You take back what you say Like it never got played And then you deny everything You declare to me there ain't a prayer for me But you don't ever tell me why Now it's clear to me you ain't got eyes to see But you don't never tell a lie
12.
I had the nerve to tell you While you were in demand It was my worst decision But you don't understand And if the world forgot you Without a leg to stand You'd take the same position Cos you don't understand You just go anywhere that you wanna be It's like a maze for you but it's plain to me You float around and round it that paradise In which you reside And you're on my mind I looked around to find you I had my heart in hand I wanted to remind you But you don't understand I said my best to please you You threw it in the can I don't know why I need you Baby you don't understand You just go anywhere that you wanna be It's like a maze for you but it's plain to me You float around and round it that paradise In which you reside And you're on my mind And you know You won't believe the things that I'm willing to say And you don't resist the tides when they're turning my way It ain't about the things that I want It ain't about the fact that you're gone It's just about all the things that I need it to mean.

Maybe 04:25
Try to act like it don't mean a thing Try to hide from the one good thing Maybe I tried and now I can't get anyone back on my side Try to live with what you can get Try to live with what you regret Maybe I tried and now I can't get anyone back on my side You can lie 'til words don't mean a thing You can cry 'til maybe maybe your eyes start to bleed You can hide in the dark 'til you die in your skin But I wouldn't know why Maybe I tried You keep trying real hard to make it an acceptable win You keep beating your head on a wall until you can't understand You got a look on your face that nobody would want to defend You keep severing ties and love until you can't find a friend And then you do it again I run my mouth like it don't mean a thing If you don't care why would you listen in Maybe I tried and now I can't get anyone back on my side You can lie 'til words don't mean a thing You can cry 'til maybe maybe your eyes start to bleed You can hide in the dark 'til you die in your skin But I wouldn't know why Maybe I tried
