Clock is ticking, the bugs are dead I burned them of the wall and had a fit I ran into an old friend of mine All we could say was it's been a while I wanna dig up the memories I wanna go to the black-out fields We're anticipating to the nothingness And amply rewarded for an arty mess Clock is ticking, and we know it Time is money, so hit it quick Try to mend all the broken hearts The healing of soul is about to start I wanna dig up the memories I wanna go to the black-out fields We're anticipating to the nothingness And amply rewarded for an arty mess

Dear diary, dear old friend Society is weighing on me 'til the end People crack, prescriptions are written That's because they don't know how to bite and get bitten No need to Fly off the handle No reason To make amendments Dear diary, dear old friend Don't sacrifice the present Let the moment begin The elephant fits exactly in the room Mixing up the medicine and keeping it cool No need to Fly off the handle No reason To make amendments These words left unspoken It's in your fitness now And it shows they no good on you I'm getting ahold of you Now get loose

I've thought about it hell, about a million times. It takes all my strength just to keep it calm. But I'll have to tell myself, it's better just to breathe. Holding it inside, only help to do me in. Each time I close my eyes, I see another chain. It's one I can't forget, something I can not break out of. I need a second skin, something to hold me up. Can't seem to get out of this hole I've dug myself right back in. Just to wake up tells me, hell I must be brave. It hits me like a drug, shot into my veins. But it's not as delightful, delightful of a pain. Immobilizing me, Almost makes me think I'm dead. But I'll need a second skin, Something to hold me tough. Can't do it on my own, Sometimes I need just a little more help well. I've got that chance to give, every drop that's left in me. But I'll need that second skin, Something I can not break out of. But I'll just tell myself girl, just let it breathe. It's a calmness, I'm always searching for. But the dirt it gets so heavy, It falls above my head. Seeping from under my feet, It just keeps on getting deeper. I'll need a second skin, Something to hold me up. Can't do it on my own, Sometimes I need just a little more help well. I've got that chance to give, every drop that's left in me. But I'll need that second skin Something I cannot break free of. Though no one ever said it'd be easy. Still one's left to deny. The choice that comes between, Your willingness to survive. Now you're know what you stand up against, A world set to deceive. You need a special strength yeah. I've got that second skin. I've got that chance to give. I've got the only way that I know how to live with it. But I'll need that second skin, Something to hold me tough. I'll need a second skin, Something I can not break out of.

Awaken in a state it's not my own The only thing that's real Is that amongst these walls, I whisper to a fear that sleeps in my soul Weighting on my conscience, but I think I know It hurts me to be angry Kills me to be kind But my only torment Is my own disguise Waiting on these favors they only come to show There's not much in them for you to hold Awaken to the sudden fact that I've Simply wasted chances, but I'm not yet to die Waiting for my temperament to calm Well maybe they can't hear the crap behind these eyes It hurts me to be angry Kills me to be kind But my only torment Is my own disguise Waiting on the favors they only come to show There's not much in them for you to hold It starts to become something I can't touch but you can feel But there's something else surrounding me It's not easy to see Awaken to the only chance I've got Hide behind these walls, I look through the cracks I see the same mistakes that I once made All that I can tell you there is a price to pay It hurts me to be angry Kills me to be kind But my only torment Is my own disguise Waiting on these favors they only come to show There's not much in them for you to hold It starts to become something I can't touch but you can feel But there's something else surrounding me It's not easy to see It hurts me to be angry Kills me to be kind But my only torment Is my own disguise Waiting on these favors they only come to show There's not much in them at all

There goes your burning, you can't anticipate The things you push for now are just forgotten the next day And then you masturbate in your thoughts in our own eyes Then you push some things on us you wont let us deny There you go pushing us again Well, I wont always have to understand There you're setting your own life on lies, forget about tomorrow, we're here to survive You apologize and I accept it all on faith But still you do not try to push away your old mistakes. And now I find myself underhand to what you want, you think you'll find it better, child? Well, go out and find it all!

Our insecurities, they bend us down on broken knees Our insecurities, we wear them till we cannot see The crap the shit the garbage our mind it has to swallow; It makes us enemies, building up mistrust with greed Turns me to shut the door and hide away while time gets lost Your ignorant response can leave you looking of a beast (Chorus) And when you're pushing me away You're scared you'll get too much And when you're playing the jester Well I guess you ought to Or else it might mirror a flaw that lies in you Oh damn your insecurities Not always insecure, but bold on what you think is right I hope you break the crown before you plate it on your head (Chorus) Oh damn your insecurities, they're catching up with you

I was working in a shithole one day Some fool came up to me and said "You'd make a star with that band," I said, "it's not why we're doing this, Why can't you fucking get it?" 'Cause all I've got to do is release through These obstacles I've got to beat Release from the man who manipulates me By the breaking of my back, With nothing left worth saving All I gotta do is release through the Obstacles I've yet to beat Take us to a sturdy ship Where we raise our glasses No pints too dodgy here We don't need our problems here Away from all these people, They're posing about, waiting for the next scheme To tip them off and leave them drowning In what they think is real All that's ever been and all that's been said It's not to my regret, you gotta Face the edge of yourself And they say if you got humor through it all You'll find the will to survive what seems like hell Take me to the water, launch me out to bloody sea 'Cause all you gotta do is release Through these obstacles you've got to beat Take us to the water Launch us out to sea And may the drunken mad ones follow me
