The Waiting

I hate the waiting... I hate not knowing what's coming next.
It's so frustrating... I'm sick of not knowing what to expect.
No more if's & and's or buts. The time has come, & I've had enough.
Something's got to give or break. There's only so much i can take.
With you it all just falls apart. I should've known right from the start.
I suffer here now unto you. Awaiting the time to start a new.
Speak these words that no one hears. I never meant to be sincere.
Leaves me here as "just a friend", forever trying to make amends.
I hate the waiting... I hate not knowing what's coming next.
It's so frustrating... I'm sick of not knowing what to expect.
With you it all just falls apart. I should've known right from the start.
I suffer here now unto you. Awaiting the time to start a new.
Save me... from the person i thought was meant to... save me.
I hate the waiting... I hate not knowing what's coming next.
It's so frustrating... I'm sick of not knowing what to expect.
No more wearing hearts on sleeves. And no more words meant to deceive.
No more burdens left to weigh. And no more time left here to wait.
No more if's & and's or buts. The time has come, & I've had enough.
Something's got to give or break. There's only so much i can take.
With you it all just falls apart. I should've known right from the start.
I suffer here now unto you. Awaiting the time to start a new.
Save me... from the person i thought was meant to... save me.
I'm thru...
I'm thru waiting.
I'm thru...
I'm thru waiting.

Sympathy
04:45

Are you ready for this one?
Because it's going to hurt like hell. Yea.
So, here now is to sympathy.
at least that's what we always knew her as.
She was all about empathy.
But she could never figure how to fit right in.
So, follow through once
With what you've said and
Walk Away, and know that
I will always be there for you.
So, to the girl we knew as sympathy.
She never knew just who she was quite yet.
We always gave her all our empathy.
But she could never find her inner strength.
So, follow through once
With what you've said and
Walk Away, and know that
I will always be there for you.
I may have your pity.
But you have my sympathy. My sympathy.
And you have my sympathy.
Yes you have my sympathy.
And just for the record. Just so you know.
If i were to see you right now, I'd tell you where you could go.

Problem Solving
05:29

You don't bleed for me.
You just see through me.
But the time has come
To watch you turn around
And come bleed for me...
Like a pig. Just like a pig.
Whatever's forcefed to feeling humble
You have to admit there's a problem here...
So, what's the problem here? The time is drawing near
For those to make up a final conclusion.
It's time to break things down, until the math is found
There's bound to be a new-found solution.
So, what's the problem here? How typically insincere
I never thought of you in that way.
It's time to work out the math, the consequence of this path
No matter how wrong it feels...
The time has come
To watch you turn around
And come bleed for me...
Like a pig. Just like a pig.
Think whatever you may
If it makes you feel ok.
Think whatever you may
If it helps you get thru the day.
(but) We're done. And it's over.
There won't be a second chance.
You're done. And it's over.
No chance left to make amends.

High Expectations
03:43

How i feel so sick. How'd this get so complicated?
If things are working out great, then which one of us is getting compensated?
Why would you walk away?
Why would you walk away?
How i feel so sick. This constant sense of suffocating.
It's such a mockery, whatever fate was bound to bring in.
Still i feel so sick. How'd we end up so common place now?
If things are working out great, then which one of us is getting complimented?
Why would you walk away?
Why would you walk away?
And if it hurts you so, then why bother then,
If it always leads to a disappointment.
So typical, this disappointment, you're disappointing, you disappoint me.
So typical, this disappointment, you're disappointing, you disappoint me.

Rebound
04:21
|

and so i'll say these words right now
i never got the chance back then
this metaphor for happiness
so fixed in analyzing this
i see these fragile pieces here
i tried so hard to pick them up
and when you said we should slow down
you meant we'd never talk again...
that month was longer then i thought, how did it last?
assuring me of things to come, they'd come to pass...
overwhelming... all they said
overwhelming, this constant sense of dread...
just say the words that you wanted to say to me
just say the words that you wanted to say to me then...
and here i'll say these words again
i'm making up for lost time then
and when i held you close to me
i meant it everytime
the last night was on hallow's eve
a twist of fate that brought us there
you left me when these fragile thoughts
just couldn't stay together...
that month was longer then i thought, how did it last?
assuring me of things to come, they'd come to pass.
this rebound for a month of so, wasn't meant to last
reminded me of things to come, they'd all come to pass...

Overrun
05:34
|

|
Over run with guilt again.
Going against the grain
To discredit the pride from within
so what is it that you've known?
confused by what you've been shown?
well, beauty's still on the inside...
(or so i'm told)
Here we go again as always
Starting out with nothing more then your vices...
(don't you forget)
is this what you've been taught?
being socially distraught.
well beauty's still on the inside...
so is this what you've known?
conditioned to what's been shown.
well, beauty's still on the inside
leave a tip for the girl who blinks those pretty eyes...
why then didn't it seem much clearer?
