1.Papercut
   Why does it feel like night today?
  Something in here's not right today
  Why am I so uptight today?
  Paranoia's all I got left
  I don't know what stressed me first
 Or how the pressure was fed / but
  I just what it feels like
  To have a voice in the back of my head
  It's like a face that I hold inside
  A face that awakes when I close my eyes
  A face whatches every time I lie
  A face that laughs every time I fall
  [And watches everything]
  So I know that when it's time to sink or swim
  That the face inside is hearing me / right underneath my skin
   
  It's like I'm / paranoid lookin' over my back
  It's like a / whirlwind inside of my head
  It's like I / can't stop what I'm hearing within
  It's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
 
  I know I've got a face in me
  Points out all my mistakes to me
  You've got a face on the inside too and
  Your paranoia's probably worse
  I don't know what set me off first of the matter is
  I can't add up to what you can
  But everybody has a face that they hold inside
  A face that awakes when they close their eyes
  A face whatches every time they lie
  A face that laughs every time they fall
  [And watches everything]
  So you know that when it's time to sink or swim
  That the face inside is watching you / right underneath your skin
 
  The sun goes down
  I feel the light betray me (x2)


2.One step closer
   I cannot take this anymore
  I'm saying everything I've said before
  All these words they make no sense
  I find bliss in ignorance
  Less I hear the less you'll say
  But you'll find that out anyway
  Just like before...
  Everything you say to me
  Takes me one step closer to the edge
  And I'm about to break
  I need a little room to breathe
  'Cause I'm one step closer to the edge
  And I'm about to break
 
  I find the answers aren't so clear
  Wish I could find a way to disappear
  All these thoughts they make no sense
  I find bliss in ignorance
  Nothing seems to go away
  Over and over again
 
  Shut up when I'm talking to you
 

3.With you
   I woke up in a dream today
  To the cold of the static / and put my cold feet on the floor
  Forgot all about yesterday
  Remembering I'm pretending to be where I'm not anymore
  A little taste of typocrisy
  And I'm left in the wake of the mistake / slow to react
  Even though you're so close to me
  You're still so distant / and I can't bring you back
 
  It's true / the way I feel
  Was promised by your face
  The sound of your voice
  Painted on my memories
  Even if you're not with me
  I'm with you
 
  You / now I see / keeping everything inside
  You / now I see / even when I close my eyes
 
  I hit you and you hit me back
  We fall to the floor / the rest of the day stands still
  Fine line between this and that
  When things go wrong I pretend the past isn't real
  Now I'm trapped in this memory
  And I'm left in the wake of the mistake / slow to react
  Even though you're close to me
  You're still so distant / and I can't bring you back
  
  No
  No matter how far we've come
  I can't wait to see tomorrow (x2)

4.Points of authority
   Forfeit the game / before somebody else
  Takes you out of the frame / puts your name to shame
  Cover up your face / you can't run the race
  The pace is too fast / you just won't lase
 
  You love the way I look at you
  While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
  You take away when I give in
  My life
  My pride is broken
  
  Chorus:
  You like to think you're never wrong
  You want to act like you're someone
  You want someone to hurt like you
  You want to share what you've been through
 
  You love the things I say I'll do--
  The way I'll hurt myself again just to get back at you
  You take away when I give in
  My life
  My pride is broken
  

5.Crawling
   Crawling in my skin
   Consuming all I feel
   Fear is how I fall
   Confusing what is real
 
   There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
   Consuming / confusing
   This lack of self-control I fear is never-ending
   Controlling / I can't seem
 
   To find myself again
   My walls are closing in
   [Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
    that there's just too mch pressure to take]
   I've felt this way before
   So insecure
 
   Discomfort,endlessly has pulled itself upon me
   Distracting / reacting
   Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
   It's haunting how I can't seem...

6.Runaway
   Graffiti Decorations
   Underneath a sky of dust
   A constant wave of tension
   On top of broken trust
   The lessons that you taught me
   I learned were never true
 
   Now I find myself in question
   [They point the finger at me again]
   Guilty by association
   [You point the finger at me again]
 
   I wanna run away
   Never say good-bye
   I wanna know the truth
   Instead of wondering why
   I wanna know the answers
   No more lies
   I wanna shut the door
   And open up my mind
 
   Paper bags and angry voices
   Under a sky of dust
   Another wave of tension
   Has more than filled me up
   All my talk of taking action
   These words were never true
   Gonna run away

7.By myself
   What do I do to ignore them behind me?
  Do I follow my instincts blindly?
  Do I hide my pride / from these bad dreams
  And give in to sad thoughts that are maddening?
  Do I / sit here and try to stand it?
  Or do I / try to catch them red-handed?
  Do I trust some and get fooled by phoniness?
  Or do I trust nobody and live in loneliness?
  Because I can't hold on / when I'm stretched so thin
  I make the right moves but I'm lost within
  I put on my daily facade but then
  I just end up getting hurt again
  By myself [Myself]
  I ask why,but in my mind
  I find I can't rely on myself
 
  I can't hold on
  [To what I want when I'm stretched so thin]
  It's all too much to take in
  I can't hold on
  [To anything watching everything spin]
  With thoughts of failure sinking in
 
  If I / turn my back I'm defenseless
  And to go blindly seems senseless
  If I hide my pride and let it all go on / then they'll
  Take from me till everything is gone
  If I let them go I'll be outdone
  But if I try ot catch them I'll be outrun
  If I'm killed by the questions like a cancer
  Then I'll be buried in the silence of the answer
  [By myself]
 
  How do you think / I've lost so much
  I'm so afraid / I'm out of touch
  How do you expect / I will know what to do
  When all I know / is what you tell my to
 
  Don't you know
  I can't tell you how to make it go
  No matter what I do,how hard I try
  I'm stuck on the outside


8.In the end
 It starts with
One thing / I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
Didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on / but didn't even know
Wsted it all just to
Watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when
 
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
And lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
 
One thing / I don't know why
Doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind / I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
I tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me / I'm surprised
It got so [far]
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
You kept everything inside and even though I tried / it all fell apart
What it meant to me / will eventually / be a memory / of a time when I
 
I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know (x2)

9.A place for my head
 I watch how the
Moon sits in the sky / in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
The sun doesn't give life to the moon assuming
The moon's gonna owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me / you do
Favors and then rapidly / you just
Turn around and start asking me / about
Things that you want back from me
 
I'm sick of the tension / sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place / to feed your greed--
While I find a place to rest
 
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
[You'll see it's not meant to be]
I want to be in the energy,not with the enemy
A place for my head
 
Maybe to be in another place
Step on people like you do and
Run away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm / used to be strong
That you'd
Wear out your welcome / now you see
How quiet it is / all alone / I'm so
 
You try to take the best of me
Go away (x8)


10.Forgotten
 From the top to the bottom
Bottom to top I stop
At the core I've forgotten
In the middle of my thoughts
Taken far from my safety
The picture is there
The memory won't escape me
But why should I care
 
There's a place so dark you can't see the end
[Skies cock back] and shock that which can't defend
The rain then sends dripping / an acidic question
Forcefully,the power of suggestion
Then with the eyes tightly shut / looking through the rust and rot
And dust / a spot of light floods the floor
And pours over the rusted world of pretend
The eyes ease open and it's dark again
 
In the memoty you'll find me
Eyes burning up
The darkness holding me tightly
Until the sun rises up
 
Moving all around / screaming of the ups and downs
Pollution manifested in perpetual sound
The wheels go 'round and the sunset creeps past the
Street lamps,chain-link and concrete
A little plece of paper with a picture drawn floats
On down the street till the wind is gone
The memory now is like the picture wsa then
When the paper's crumpled up it can't be perfect again
 
Now you got me caught in the act
You bring the thought back
I'm telling you that
I see it right through you
 

11.Cure for the itch

12.Pushing me away
 I've lied / to you
The same way that I always do
This is / the last smile
That I'll fake for the sake of being with you
 
[Everything falls apart / even the people who never frown /
 eventually break down]
The sacrifice of hiding in a lie
[Everything has to end / you'll soon find we're out of time left
 to watch it all unwind]
The sacrifice is never knowing
 
Why I never walked away
Why I played myself this way
Now I see your testing me pushes me away
 
I've tried / like you
To do everything you wanted to
This is / the last time
I'll take the blame for the sake of being with you
