Fire I was born
Ashes I have risen
Victory... I shall walk

We are one of the same (we are one of the same)
My brothers and me (my brothers and me)
We will never change
We are one of the same
We can never be tamed
My brothers and me

Contagious disease
I cant get enough of you
You cant get enough of me
Contagious...Contagious....Contagious disease

It was nearly over in the cold dark October;
And each separate modified driving leaving us begging for more.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;—as I sank in sorrow
These dirt driving devils, so hard to catch the win we might as well call it Elenore
For the season of speed and chasing the lead was over, we had lost Elenore—
           Trophyless here begging for more

I keep on pushin' 'til I cant push no more
Im already gone but not out the door
I've tried to make it through
But its like Im stuck in glue
Oh I've tried to get away
But I cant, my life's not okay

Dark days
Bright nights
Im doing things that are not right
Bright days
Dark nights
Oh I changed my ways but Im not alright
There's many reasons why
I lay awake in bed at night
Its only you that makes the night shine so bright

I used to have a kind heart
But now I live life in the dark
I just don't care about any one
Im tired of life Im done

Dark days
Bright nights
Im doing things that are not right
Bright days
Dark nights
Oh I changed my ways but Im not alright
There's many reasons why
I lay awake in bed at night
Its only you that makes the night shine so bright

Drip
Blood
Crimson red and so beautiful
Maybe that's not the word
Majestic
That's it
Not gorgeous or even horrifying
Just majestic

Blood
Dripping from my nose
No big deal
Drip
With every drop I try to stop
Failure

Drip
Endlessly crimson
No matter how much I try to stop it
Drip
Another drop shows me failure
Dripping faster and faster
The sink fills
Drip
Drop by drop
I face my own mortality
A friend walks in
I reply its not a big deal

Drip
As I look in the mirror
My face like a rose
Resembling my own death
Drip
With the sweet red turning darker
Than the dawn to night
As the world starts to spin
I get light headed
Drip
One last drop
I drop
Dead

If I died tomorrow, would anybody care
Would they be drowning in their sorrow, wishing I was there
To make everything alright, to be by your side
Cause in the end I was a true friend
It doesn't mater if your sad or mopey
Alls I have to do is crack a couple jokes see
I can brighten up the mood, inside any room
thats my personality, so why cant anyone see
You don't know what you got til its gone, til its gone

Whats going on?
I cant explain
Whats going wrong?
I can feel something
Running through my veins
in the heat of it all (echo+fade out)
I can feel it

The last time I let someone into my heart they
Lost the key
Lost their way
Now I have to go and get a new lock
For my heart
So I don't lose control
Because I wont back down
And I wont give up
Not now
Not here
Not ever... and

Lost for words
is all I can say
When your on my mind
My thoughts fade away
Because I believe
We can make it be
If only, if only, if only you

Were all in the same game
Just different levels
Were all in the same hell
Just different devils
We need help to make it through
Someone like me
Someone like you
So Im gonna let fate do its part
Maybe in the end, we'll be heart to heart
So for right now I'll stand aside
And hope for our lives to soon collide

Lost for words
is all I can say
When your on my mind
My thoughts fade away
Because I believe
We can make it be
If only you
could see that Im
Lost for words
is all I can say
When your on my mind
My thoughts fade away
Because I believe
We can make it be
If only, if only, if only you

I had a nice poem
I erased it because of a friend
That friend made fun of my poem
For that I hate him
That friend's name is Michael

Im one step ahead
but Im one step behind
I need to get it through my mind
I need to leave you behind
Cause I need to live my life
I cant live in yours
So stop living in mine

I cant let go of my past
cause its the only thing that I have
no future to behold
Just my empty soul

Im one step ahead
but Im one step behind
I need to get it through my mind
I need to leave you behind
Cause I need to live my life
I cant live in yours
So stop living in mine

You should know by now
I cant turn this frown upside down
that the truth be told
I cant let the past unfold
How you gonna get on with life
if you spending it in a fight
Trying to make everything right
You should know by now

Im one step ahead
but Im one step behind
I need to get it through my mind
I need to leave you behind
Cause I need to live my life
I cant live in yours
So stop living in mine

Don't let it control you
Don't let it defeat you
Don't let it be you

Remember the rights
but don't forget the wrongs
Remember the real you

Im one step ahead
but Im one step behind
I need to get it through my mind
I need to leave you behind

Love is a four letter word
That gets spoken much more than it should
But what do you expect
When there is so much neglect
Oh you take what you can get

People come, people go
People lie you to the rope
Hang you nine feet off the ground
Oh they'll toy with your heart
Make you wanna fall apart
What is left of you now?

Hate is a four letter word
That gets spoken not as much as it should
But what do you expect
When there is so much regret
Oh you take what you can get

People come, people go
People lie you to the rope
Hang you nine feet off the ground
Oh they'll toy with your heart
Make you wanna fall apart
What is left of you now?

Its been a long time coming
and Im tired of running
Time to face my demons and relieve my spirit
Its been a long count down
Since I've been around
Time to pick myself up off the floor
and be with the girl I've been waiting for
Im tired of hiding
Im done denying
All my feelings
Its time to say something
Instead of saying nothing
Time to tell her my intentions
I wanna be more than just friends
I just wanna see what happens
Its been a long time coming
and Im tired of running
Time to face my demons and relieve my spirit
Its been a long count down
Since I've been around
Time to pick myself up off the floor
and be with the girl I've been waiting for
She's gonna the one I marry, and have all my babies
I know that she's the one for me
I cannot fight these feelings
I know that she's pretty and probably way out of my league
But looks don't matter when it comes to love
We've been friends forever and I've had enough
Just give me a chance to show you real romance

You don't seem to understand
That I got the upper hand
on the situation
which leads to agitation
Its so frustrating
to know that you're suffocating
In these lies
In this life
I need to take it back, take it back, it is mine

Im tired of living this way
I feel like my life is going down the drain
You may not see it when you look at me
there is more than meets the eye
Behind these lies
It is the real me

When the water flows in
The breaking down begins
which leads to humiliation
which causes exaggeration
Of your whole life story
Im tired of feeling sorry
With these lies
With this life
I need to take it back, take it back, it is mine

Im tired of living this way
Why cant you see that Im not ok
When the world is crumbling down on me
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to hide
No one to hold
Should I cry?
I gotta be strong
In this life
In these lies
Im takin it back, takin it back, it is mine

What I want
What you need
is something that we could be
The way I feel
the wounds you could heal
My heart, and everything involved
Cuz I remember
I wasn't going to do anything at all (at all)
Until you forced my hand then I forced you to fall (to fall)
You forced me in then I forced you out of these walls (these walls)
And now Im left here standing oh so tall (too tall)
Blood, sweat, and tears have brought me here
where I stand and where I go
The past will keep me here locked in my fear
Because of you just so you know
I will change so please don't go
Some of it was you, most of it me
If we could change our ways and let it be
I've righted my wrongs and paid my dues
I've done all of this just to be with you

Standing out in the pouring rain
Calling your name
I know there wont be an answer
For all my mistakes
So now I must face
The fact, that I know that your gone

I don't care what happened
I only care what happens to you
I know it doesn't matter
what matters is you

So let me ask one question
Just one simple question
Can you forgive me for what I have done?
I woke up today
Lost in the city
Looking for my way back home
But alls I seem to see
is you stunning beauty
Every single step I make
Every single breath I take
is just not the same without you

I don't care what happened
I only care what happens to you
I know it doesn't matter
what matters is you

I don't care what happened
I only care what happens to you
I know it doesn't matter
what matters is you

If only I could find the answer
To all my mistakes
I think our life would be okay
But I know inside it wont be the same

I don't care what happened
I only care what happens to you
I know it doesn't matter
what matters is you

I've been to so many places
Seen so many faces
I don't know what to do
I don't know who to choose
Im in a love octagon
So many to choose from
They're all so great and wonderful

I noticed you
Noticing me
It was something that I couldn't believe
cause how could a girl like you
Fall for a guy like me
its a mystery
Not really cause we fell and love took over

Every time I see you
My heart skips a beat
I have to catch my breath
To stay on my feet
Every time we lock eyes
It melts my insides
Cause baby Im mesmerized

You're so gorgeous, you're so beautiful
You've got a voice like an angel
I love your laugh, I love your smile
You're so special, one of a kind
You're personality is what makes you shine
and this is why I've fallen for you
When I looked in those bright blue eyes
I couldn't fight the fight
And some would ask why
All I said was
This is what happens when love takes over

In this very week
I walked down the street
And looked past my feet
I saw a crack in the ground that wasn't sleet
I thought that if the world is as broken as the concrete
Then like Forman vs Ali
We would soon face a great defeat

Float like a butterfly sting like a bee
Was said by he
He who set boxing free
Rumble young man rumble
He said he was the greatest before he even knew
So no wonder he won Rumble in the Jungle
And knocked Williams out in just a few

If you dreamed of beating Ali, you better wake up and apologize
If you don't Ali will give you a beating
Even with blind eyes
Liston caught it first hand and no one heard his cries

For he's so fast he turns off the lights and makes it to bed before they go out
You can ask anyone without a doubt
He wasn't the greatest; he was the double greatest
As a catcher talks to a batter at the mound
Talking about and picking the round
He would knock you out and you have now found
That Ali is the greatest
And by far the best
