Nutshell (Acoustic Live) - Staind

We chase misprinted lies We face the path of time And yet I fight And yet I fight This battle all alone No one to cry to No place to call home Oooh... Oooh... Oooh... Oooh... My gift of self is raped My privacy is raked And yet I find And yet I find Repeating in my head If I can't be my own I'd feel better dead Oooh... Oooh... Oooh... Oooh...

Do you feel like you're falling? You've taken this step In front of you Is further from the truth And you fall apart In front of me again Again Denial isn't the way to forgiveness You always swore that I was wrong Not again No taste for the crow you feed me Not again It's not a matter of if I care Not again What an intricate web you're weaving Again and again So you try not to follow While the clock fails to sleep So here we are Back where it began And toe to toe I stand In front of you again Again Denial isn't the way to forgiveness You always swore that I was wrong Not again No taste for the crow you feed me Not again It's not a matter of if I care Not again What an intricate web you're weaving Again and again Not again No taste for the crow you feed me Not again It's not a matter of if I care Not again What an intricate web you're weaving Again and again, again Again

Well, I want you to notice To notice when I'm not around I know that your eyes see straight through me And speak to me without a sound I want to hold you Protect you from all of the things I've already endured And I want to show you To show you all the things that this life has in store for you I'll always love you The way that a father should love his daughter When I walked out this morning I cried as I walked to the door I cried about how long I'd be away for I cried about leaving you all alone I want to hold you Protect you from all of the things I've already endured And I want to show you To show you all the things that this life has in store for you I'll always love you The way that a father should love his daughter Sweet Zoe Jane Sweet Zoe Jane So I wanted to say this 'Cause I wouldn't know where to begin To explain to you what I have been through To explain where your daddy has been So I want to hold you Protect you from all of the things I've already endured And I want to show you To show you all the things that this life has in store for you I'll always love you The way that a father should love his daughter Sweet Zoe Jane Sweet Zoe Jane

I think I used to pray I thought it would save me from my hell But what they never say Nobody's God ever saves you from yourself And all my faults Are all my fault And I just want To feel it all Feel it all! Feel it all! How can I face what's under the surface, when nothing is working? How can I break away from the burden? This cycle of hurting I'm still waiting to change I'm still waiting to wake up as someone else At the end of the day I'm too stubborn to get any help And all my faults Are all my fault And I just want To feel it all How can I face what's under the surface, when nothing is working? How can I break away from the burden? This cycle of hurting How can I face what's under the surface, when nothing is working? How can I break away from the burden? This cycle of hurting Away from the burden This cycle of hurting Cycle of hurting!

Not really good at just paying attention I'm not very good at remembering things that you say I'm not very good at pursuing redemption Not very good at concealing the hand that I play It's the way I am You'll never change The way I am Or rearrange The way I am Just let me be The way I am It's the way I am I'm not really sure of the coming attractions I'm not really sure of illusions we read on the wall I'm not really sure of the preaching we practice I'm not really sure if we'll notice it before we fall It's the way I am You'll never change The way I am Or rearrange The way I am Just let me be The way I am It's the way I am Not very good at just paying attention Not very good at remembering things I'm not very good at pursuing redemption Not very good at concealing the hand that I play When I'm trying so hard just to beat you I'm not really good at controlling my fate I'm not really good at controlling my anger I'm not really good at subduing my hate I'm not really good I'm not really good I'm not really good It's the way I am You'll never change The way I am Or rearrange The way I am Just let me be The way I am It's the way I am

The hating and the waiting, hesitating I just want to be done with you Faking for the taking but I'm waking Up to the fact that you're lying and denying Justifying all the actions you take It's pathetic and poetic It's just sick It's just sick Is "compromise" something you don't understand? You force your hand but my eyes are wide open Caught in the web of your self serving plan Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving All the damage is done And you've broken any notion of trust Because you're lying and denying Justifying all the actions you take It's pathetic and poetic It's just sick It's just sick Is "compromise" something you don't understand? You force your hand but my eyes are wide open Caught in the web of your self serving plan Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Seeing is believing, now I'm leaving All the damage is done All the damage done All the damage done Is "compromise" something you don't understand? You force your hand but my eyes are wide open Caught in the web of your self serving plan Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Don't force my hand when my eyes are wide open Force my hand when my eyes are wide open You're lying and denying it's just sick You're lying and denying it's just sick It's just sick
