LYRIC

Independent

Read my lips

I don't care what you say

I might listen

but I'll do it my own way

Don't you see

It don't mean nothing to me

when all's said and done

I'll stand on my two feet

Let me be

I live by my own rules

Independent, independence

Can't you see

It's my right to choose

Independence, independent

Once they tried to teach

Teach me all their rules

I had my own ideas

Didn't fit in, in their schools

Don't they see

that we all have a brain

There to learn

Not to be whipped and tamed

Let me be

I live by my own rules

Independent, independence

Can't you see

It's my right to choose

Independence, independent

Read my lips

I don't care what you say

I might listen

but I'll do it my own way

Don't you see

It don't mean nothing to me

when all's said and done

I'll stand on my two feet

Let me be

I live by my own rules

Independent, independence

Can't you see

It's my right to choose

Independence, independent

Free

It's beyond me

The differences in our minds

In my head

It's just as plain as day

To be free

Free of hate, peace of mind

Exorcise

The demons that can leave you blind

What I want, liberate

From the things that bring you down

Free your self and all around

What I see nauseates

Eats the life inside of me

Kills the life inside of me

Hatred

Venom seeping through your veins

Question

Everything I know is true

Vengeance

Downward spiral never ends

Unity

For what reasons, never know

What I want, liberate

From the things that bring you down

Free your self and all around

What I see nauseates

Eats the life inside of me

Kills the life inside of me

To be free

Choose sides

Why must it be this way

Answer

Fear of the unknown

Decide

Where do you draw the line?

Our pride

Pride in the human race

What I want, liberate

From the things that bring you down

Free your self and all around

What I see nauseates

Eats the life inside of me

Kills the life inside of me

To be free

Overcome false boundaries

Built to keep us far apart

Drilled from when we were very young

into what we think is true

Strength in us to push aside

Walls in which we'll never stay

Time for us to pool our pride

and unify our brotherhood

To be free

Just like That

Walls once built to protect

Can become a prison

The shifting sands of time consume

all in its path

Hours to days, months to years

Perpetual motion

I hope you realize

before it's gone

Now's the time

To open your eyes

Tomorrow may be too late

You can never tell

One second here

Next second gone

See how fast things change

They change just like that

See how fast things change

They change just like that

See how they change

Just like that

When you stop and think

About the grand scheme

We're merely seconds

in the clock that's time

Sometimes it's hard to see

Just what you've got

I hope you realize

before it's gone

Now's the time

To open your eyes

Tomorrow may be too late

You can never tell

One second here

Next second gone

See how fast things change

They change just like that

See how fast things change

They change just like that

See how they change

Just like that

When you stop and think

About the grand scheme

We're merely seconds

in the clock that's time

Sometimes it's hard to see

Just what you've got

I hope you realize

before it's gone

Now's the time

To open your eyes

Tomorrow may be too late

You can never tell

One second here

Next second gone

See how fast things change

They change just like that

See how fast things change

They change just like that

See how they change

Just like that

Supremacy

I and I alone

You I can't condone

Don't you see what I mean

It's all laid out simplisticly

You won't even have to think

You'll just hear the words I speak

What you don't agree

Where is your morality

Questioning authority

leads to the road depravity

Undesirable impurity questioning

Supremacy

Abuse of power

In an ivory tower

When you are so far removed

Issues seem to confuse

When you are so far removed

Issues seem to confuse

What is right you try to choose

Abuse of power you can't lose

Don't you see what I mean

Led around so blindly

Influence of majority

Racist attitude is stupidity

Don't you see what I mean

There must be equality

When we're cut we all bleed

There is no supremacy

What you don't agree

Where is your morality

Questioning authority

leads to the road depravity

Undesirable impurity questioning

Supremacy

I and I alone

You I can't condone

Don't you see what I mean

It's all laid out simplisticly

You won't even have to think

You'll just hear the words I speak

If Only   (  instrumental )

Crawling

You say you're misunderstood

I say you give it real good

Now you work your way back

You're crawling

You say you've always been there

I say I don't understand

You say you're back for good

You're crawling

But your time now is gone

You try to hang on

Try to stay on your feet

But now you're crawling, crawling

To me

Crawling, crawling

Crawling, crawling

Back to me

Crawling, crawling

Is this what you want

Take it right back to the start

When you fall on your face

You're crawling

Try it all on your own

Give it all that you know

But when you come up short

You're crawling

But your time now is gone

You try to hang on

Try to stay on your feet

But now you're crawling, crawling

To me

Crawling, crawling

Crawling, crawling

Back to me

Crawling, crawling

Now you want all of my time

I see what you are like

Enter into my life

Crawling

You know no words to say

You always like to play

When on your hands and knees

You're crawling

But your time now is gone

You try to hang on

Try to stay on your feet

But now you're crawling, crawling

To me

Crawling, crawling

Crawling, crawling

Back to me

Crawling, crawling

Pressure

Full of potential

Yet nothing there

Filled with infinite ideas

Why so hard

Don't know what's the problem

Seems like pulling teeth

Never had this happen

I must overcome

Pressure

Pressure

Pressure

In my head

Pressure

Pressure

Pressure

In my head

Tap into the bank of knowledge

Reaching for the source

Look around in my mind

For some meaning

Don't know what I might find

Hope I find it soon

Taking just too much time

Sitting in this room

Pressure

Pressure

Pressure

In my head

Pressure

Pressure

Pressure

In my head

Don't like what I'm seeing

Lack of drive and thought

Don't know how to fix it

Time to start

Days of deep reflection

Nights of sweat and work

Have to beat this

This is my reward

Look around in my mind

Hope to find

any ideas I like

And can write

Have to have some meaning

Not just some words

Put some music to it

Get to work

Pressure

Pressure

In my head

Product

I'm tired of the games we play

I'm cashing in my chips today

and while I have my sanity

I'm taking what is close to me

I still have my integrity

My honor and my pride

These are things you cannot take

So don't waste your time

I'm tired of things I wouldn't do

I'm tired of things I wouldn't say

I'm tired of all the pleasantries

It's all apart of the game we play

Now I see

I cannot be what isn't me

Now I know

I'm not part of the bigger show

Now I feel

The person I am is truly real

So to you

I have revealed my basic truth

A trying thing this life we lead

Some obscured reality

A constant fight for privacy

To preserve my sanity

What you've got's not what you see

Perspectives change from you to me

Is this what you're trying to be

A mirror of society

Once inside the looking glass

Colors fade so very fast

Who are you, do you know

Or just a face for the freakshow

Now I see

I cannot be what isn't me

Now I know

I'm not part of the bigger show

Now I feel

The person I am is truly real

So to you

I have revealed my basic truth

A trying thing this life we lead

Some obscured reality

A constant fight for privacy

To preserve my sanity

What you've got's not what you see

Perspectives change from you to me

Is this what you're trying to be

A mirror of society

Once inside the looking glass

Colors fade so very fast

Who are you, do you know

Or just a face for the freakshow

Now I see

I cannot be what isn't me

Now I know

I'm not part of the bigger show

Now I feel

The person I am is truly real

So to you

I have revealed my basic truth

I Never Said Goodbye

I've taken you for granted

I've known you since I was born

And all of a sudden

You've been taken, now you're gone

There's so much

For me to say

I'm afraid It's much too late

You've been taken away

I wanted you

To see me succeed

To make you proud

And have you close to me

But now that your're gone

It brings tears to my eyes

I miss you so much

I never said goodbye

I never said goodbye

Your memory lives on

you're close to my heart

I think of you

And we're not apart

There's so much

For me to say

I'm afraid it's much too late

You've been taken away

I wanted you

To see me succeed

To make you proud

And have you close to me

But now that you're gone

It brings tears to my eyes

I miss you so much

I never said goodbye

I never said goodbye

Your memory lives on

you're close to my heart

I think of you

And we're not apart

There's so much

For me to say

I'm afraid it's much too late

You've been taken away

I wanted you

To see me succeed

To make you proud

And have you close to me

But now that your're gone

It brings tears to my eyes

I miss you so much

I never said goodbye

I never said goodbye

Open Book

Lazy, boring, uninterested

Amused by myself

Distasteful, abhorring

Trapped in this self

An open book, turn the page

What do you see

Mark your place, take a look

What do you see?

What do you see?

What do you see?

Charming, delightful, a pleasure

Not a dream

Engaging, amusing, eccentric

What does it mean

An open book, turn the page

Mark your place, take a look

Charming, delightful, a pleasure

Do It

I know what you're gonna say so don't

I know what you're gonna say so don't

I know what you're gonna say so don't

I know what you're gonna say so don't

I never liked to talk too much anyway

I never listened to what other people say

Actions speak louder than words

You should move and not be heard

Do it

Just do it

Just do it

Do it

I've never seen what I've always heard

I'm getting tired of being let down

I've always known you trust your own

Want something done do it yourself

Do it

Just do it

Just do it

Do it

I know what you're gonna say so don't

I know what you're gonna say so don't

I know what you're gonna say so don't

I know what you're gonna say so don't

I'm growing tired of all of this

The larger you grow the worse it gets

What can you say say to anyone

I know what you're gonna say so don't

Do it

Just do it

Just do it

Do it
