Cross another of the list
Of things I've ****** up
Still wonder if I can ever stop
Seems I'm always just to ******

Try my best to keep them at bay
Try to push them farther away
Seems I gotta start to practice what I preach
Just so I can keep my demons out of reach

Seems it wasn't to long ago
That I had it all, in the palm of my hand
'Till all the ******* reach a point
A point at which I could no longer stand

The so called "higher power" can't keep them at bay
Not today, no not today
Time to Move!

As the darkness pulls me to its hole
Swallows me up and spits me out
Except now I live without a soul

Seems like I couldn't keep them at bay
Please just listen to what I have to say
To what I have to preach
Seems like I'm within their reach

Go away and stay there
I can't handle another scare
Hit bottom, real low
Should I take it slow?

Just to keep my demons away
To keep them, keep them at bay

Can't catch a break coming my way
Seems I'm having an awful ******* day
Ain't afraid to speak my mind
Straight to your face
(*******!) Give me my space

Blinded by anger and rage
Giving the war an epic stage
What'd I say about crossing me for a second time
Or a third or a fourth, your not forgiven no not this time

I'm aching from head to toe
This drug's brought me to a new low
Don't fuss cause I wanna be alone
Sit in the dark and get ******

Can't catch a break coming my way
Seems I'm having an awful ******* day
Ain't afraid to speak my mind
Straight to your face
(*******!) Give me my space

If it's one thought that'' last forever
It'll be watching you break into tears
Walking a way took a lot
Staying away took even more

Greatest decision I've made
If I only I had stayed
Not come back and see what I see
Knowing **** well that should be, me

Now this song will sound lame
But without you I wouldn't be the same
I'd be a long lost brother
With no escape from an evil mother

You help me with right and wrong
So I wrote you a thank you song

I know for me you'd walk through hell
Only one there when it all fell
We may not always see eye to eye
But your shoulders always there when I break down and cry

Sisters like you are to few
Some **** no one knows but you
Ry and Maritz will **** me if I don't include them to
Always filled with hugs, you'd be lost without those two

Now this song will sound lame
But without you I wouldn't be the same
I'd be a long lost brother
With no escape from an evil mother

You help me with right and wrong
So I wrote you a thank you song

Nobody will ever understand us
So a ******* to them, don't make a fuss
From Uno, War, and Rocket Power
To fighting for the first shower

You wear your heart on your sleave
Makes me glad to know you ain't ever gonna leave

Ooo Ooo Ooo

You help me with right and wrong
So for you, this is a thank you song

Ooo Ooo Ooo

Go ahead and let it out
Go ahead and let it out

You use your heart not for me
You save your anger and direct it at me
I thought we had gone beyond this place
So scream and no longer save face

This world is full of hate and pain
Tears around the world fall like rain
Sometimes I wonder if I'm better off alone
Who will care for you if I am gone?

So go ahead and scream
Always remember there's no I in team
Don't push me too far
Don't open a wound that'll heal but scar

I apologize for what remains in the past
If it's any comfort I think we can make this last
Your the light in these dark times
Baby please forgive me of my crimes

Only you and I can feel
Only you and I can heal
There is a place where we can go
I just need to know

Go ahead and let it out
Go ahead and let it out

So go ahead and scream
Always remember there is no I in team
Don't push me too far
Don't open a wound that'll heal but scar.

I was wondering, will it be alright
If you and I could sleep tonight
Side by Side
We no longer have to hide

We can come out and say
That we no longer can keep our love at bay
Your smile lights up my world
As feelings and fear swirled

We no longer will remain unknown
We no longer can compete with whats grown
What happened to our curiosity?
As you run into my arms, at extreme velocity

I could hold you all night, maybe even forever
This bond, nobody can sever
Girl your a page in my book of love
Next to beautiful and an ever lasting dove

Thinking remains an unbeatable task around you
Can you just one more time take me through
On how you were able to love me
Baby just one more time pretty please

We no longer will remain unknown
We no longer can compete with whats grown
What happened to our curiosity?
As you run into my arms, at extreme velocity

I enter a world of the unknown
A place where feelings can't be told or shown
It seems everything is black and white
Can't see a thing, there is no light

It's all a realm of uncertainty and blame
Where everyone goes by the same name
Guilt.
Where it weighs so heavy it could tilt the world

Nobody counts, as days go by
No one stops, and says hi
A world so cold, full of hate and pain
Constant cloud, never to rain

Even if you wanted, you could never step out of line
Running away always seems so far away
Keep walking never able to rest or lay
Wishing I never lied about being fine

It's all a realm of uncertainty and blame
Where everyone goes by the same name
Guilt.
Where it weighs so heavy it could tilt the world

My life turned out to be so ******
Still regret not running away to New York City
I could be in a fancy new place
Not living at a turtle's pace

I wish I could fine a door
Leading to anywhere but here
If you listen closely you can tell
That this I'm by myself, my own personal hell.

One day in September would change everything
Inspired some to fight and some to sing
There was time to grieve and time to hurt
To the world this was just the start

For ten years ago we thought we'd lost it all
For hours ago two buildings had stool so tall
Killed me to sit and watch them fall
I swear to God we'll come back stronger
Can't take sitting around no longer

I can still hear the screams 'till this very day
Being awake no longer keeps the nightmares at bay
That one day we stood as one
And prayed together under the fall sun

For every time I look up towards the sky
And remember the angst and pain
I fight back tears, trying not to cry
My efforts are worthless, and tears our like rain

For ten years ago we thought we'd lost it all
For hours ago two buildings had stood so tall
Killed me to sit and watch them fall
I swear to God we will come back stronger
Can't take sitting around no longer

Oh ten years ago we all sat and watched
Oh ten years ago we all sat and watched
As symbols of power and hope tumbled to the ground
You could feel the heart of America all around
