Five Years

Five years from now
Will you know me?
Maybe I'll be famous
Or just another face in the crowd

Five years from now
Will the world end?
Is it our apocalypse?
Blood spilled for black gold
Will we be that desperate?

Five years from now
Will I know me?
Will I be somewhere?
Will I be with someone?
Will I look at this
And know who I was?

Homeless

Ever been alone?
(Ever been afraid?)
Ever been abandoned?
(Ever been alone?)
Have you
Ever seen
(Just)
Sunrise
(Just)
Sunset
Ever been alone?
(Ever been afraid?)
Ever been abandoned?
(Have you)
Ever seen
[Sunrise]
[Sunset]

Could you
Walk a mile
(Just a mile)
In my shoes?
Could we
Walk a mile
In their shoes?

(Can we breathe)
With their lungs?
(Can we see)
With their eyes?
(Can we bleed)
Like everyone (else?)

Tomrrow's a dream
(Just make it to morning)
Today's goodbye
(I hope you wake up)

Wake up

(Don't leave me)

Ever been alone?
(Ever been afraid?)
Ever been abandoned?
(Ever been alone?)
Have you
Ever seen
(Just)
Sunrise
(Just)
Sunset
Ever been alone?
(Ever been afraid?)
Ever been abandoned?
(Have you)
Ever seen
[Sunrise]
[Sunset]

[No home]
(No hope)
[No home]
(No hope)
[No home]
(No hope)
[No sympathy]

Ever been alone?
(They are alone)
Ever been afraid?
(They are afraid)
Ever been abandoned?
(They are abandoned)
[Sunrise]
[Sunset]

(Homeless)
[They are alone]
(Hopeless)
[They are abandoned]
Tomorrow
[They are afraid]
(Make it)
Please make it to morning

(Homeless)
[Sunrise]
(Hopeless)
[Sunset]
(Tomorrow)
[Abandoned]
I'm afraid

Failure (My Curtain Call)

Really
What was I expecting?
What was I thinking?
What was I hoping for?
I'm nothing more than this...

Such a bitter taste
In my mouth

Who am I
To blame
But myself?
More than this
Who am I?
Who should I
Be?
Where do I go from here?

Such a bitter taste
In my mouth

I don't need
Such a bitter taste
I don't need a past
Bitter regret
I don't need a future
Bitter farewell
I don't need today
Not today
I don't need today
Just a speck in time
I don't need today

Someone save me
Someone save me
I want to scream
But no one
Is
Listening

Someone save me
Someone save me
I
Want
To
Scream

Watch the curtain fall
This is my curtain fall
My certain fall

The story ends
I'm gone

I'm gone...

Hopeless

I'm a sucker for love

I keep reaching
Keep falling for it
Every single time

Feeling sentimental for someone
Who could care less

Yeah, I'm a fool
And no
I'll never be
Her hero

In her eyes
I'm just a shadow

She wouldn't know
She wouldn't care
She wouldn't know
She wouldn't care
She wouldn't know
She wouldn't care
She wouldn't know
She wouldn't care

I hope this fades
Burn away
I don't want this anymore
I don't want this
Feeling
Dragging me down
Pulling me down

Just watching
Just waiting
Just
Killing myself

And no
I could never tell her
Again
And yes
She's moved on
god I hate Myspace...

My Chance in Time

[This can't last]

Time is precious
Time is money
(They say)

[Forever]

Time is temporary
You're wasting my life
(With empty words)

[Let me breathe]
[Let me live]

(I)
Never had the chance to
[Breathe for myself]
(I)
Never had the chance to
[Live for myself]
(I)
Never had the chance to
[Breathe for myself]
(I)
Never had the chance to
[Live for myself]

Let me breathe
(Let me live)

You've wasted your time
(Stop trying to steal mine)
You've had your chance
[This is mine]

A chance
(In time)
My chance
(Mine)
