Stomping Grounds

Ever since you left here, many things have changed
It may not look that way to you, but somethings out of place
The ones who moved on out of here tried to find a better way
The ones that chose to stay remain in a state of decay
Welcome to our hometown, these old stomping grounds
Streets where we all grew up, everything's run down
Addicts roam the streets like zombies, looking for their fix
The hunger for junk will cloud their judgment, they just cant resist
I'm stuck here in the same old rut, going out of my mind
Twisting paths our brothers take, downward we wind
Welcome to our hometown, these old stomping grounds
Streets where we all grew up, everything's run down
Surrounding towns with money, they turn a blind eye
Left alone to struggle, we're stuck here till we die
Gotta find a way to get away, some ties you got to sever
Before this place sucks you in and keeps you here forever.
Welcome to our hometown, these old stomping grounds
Streets where we all grew up, everything's run down

How Am I Not Myself?

TALK ABOUT THE MAN YOU THINK YOU ARE
BRAG ABOUT THE MAN YOU WANNA BE
RECITE THE SAME STORIES NIGHT AND DAY
TALK YOURSELF UP THE NIGHT AWAY
HIDE YOUR TRUE COLORS, YOU DON'T WANT THEM TO KNOW
THAT YOUR WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE IS JUST FOR SHOW
HOW AM I NOT MYSELF
LIVING THROUGH SOMEBODY ELSE
ALL OF THESE LIES THAT I TELL
HOW AM I NOT MYSELF
CHOOSE WHAT FACE YOU'LL WEAR TOMORROW
CRAFT THE MYTH YOU'LL SPEAK THAT NIGHT
NEVER LET THEM KNOW HOW YOUR LIFE IS FLAWED
HOLDING UP THE CURTAINS OF A DESPERATE FACADE
THE SOBERING WORDS REPEATING IN YOUR HEAD
AND THE LIES YOU CARRY BEAR DOWN LIKE LEAD
HOW AM I NOT MYSELF
LIVING THROUGH SOMEBODY ELSE
ALL OF THESE LIES THAT I TELL
HOW AM I NOT MYSELF

I CAN'T TAKE THE STRAIN
OF THE DAY TO DAY
THE VOICE IS CALLING ME
FROM SO FAR AWAY
ALL OF MY NEIGHBORS
ALL SHARE MY DISEASE
WHILE THE WORLD IS SO DARK
I STILL BARELY SEE
ALTERED SENSES, WARPED MEMORY
JUMP THE FENCES AND MY SOUL IS FREE
TURN BACK THE CLOCKS
AND LOCK ALL YOUR DOORS
NO LONGER SPEAK, WE SLEEP
ON SEPARATE SHORES
THE FACE TO FACE
IT SHINES UNCLEAR
DISTORTED PACE
NO NEED TO FEAR
I SAW GOD FOR THE SECOND TIME
CHANCES ARE GONE THAT I WON'T SEE HIM TONIGHT
THE PRICE THAT I PAY
TO LIVE ANOTHER DAY
WELL SOME MIGHT SAY
I'M PISSING IT AWAY
I DON'T SEE HOW I CAN FIX THESE
BROKEN PARTS THAT I WAS BUILT WITH
THIS IS THE CLOSEST THING
WHEN IT'S ALL YOU CAN FEEL
YOU BEG, BORROW STEAL
THE ONE THING YOU NEED
THIS BEAST YOU MUST FEED
I DON'T SEE HOW I CAN FIX THESE
BROKEN PARTS THAT I WAS BUILT WITH
FOLLOW IN YOUR FATHERS FOOTSTEPS
WALLOW IN YOUR MOTHERS REGRETS
THIS IS WHAT IT IS, TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE
WHEN THE DUST CLEARS, THE EARTH IS WHITE
I FUCKED IT UP, IT'S ALWAYS NIGHT
WHY'S IT THIS COLD HERE IN APRIL, WITHOUT YOU

I CANNOT EXPLAIN JUST WHAT IT WAS I FELT
YOU'D HAVE TO SEE IT FOR YOURSELF
SO TAKE MY HAND AND DROWN YOUR WORLD IN
THE COLOR THAT IT NEEDS
I CAN THINK OF EVERYTHING AT ONCE
YET MY MIND IT BARREN
I CAN SEE INTO THE INFINITE
AND THESE EYES ARE STARING
SURRENDER TO THE COSMIC BLISS ON YOUR LIPS
WITHOUT A CARE
WON'T YOU COME DOWN WITH ME
LET THE WAVES CARRY US OUT TO SEA
WON'T YOU COME DOWN WITH ME
ALLOW YOUR MIND TO SET YOU FREE
DO YOU WANT TO SEE WHAT IS AND WHAT WILL BE?
DO YOU WANT YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHAT THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW?
I CAN THINK OF EVERYTHING AT ONCE
YET MY MIND IT BARREN
I CAN SEE INTO THE INFINITE
AND THESE EYES ARE STARING
SURRENDER TO THE COSMIC BLISS ON YOUR LIPS
WITHOUT A CARE
WON'T YOU COME DOWN WITH ME
LET THE WAVES CARRY US OUT TO SEA
WON'T YOU COME DOWN WITH ME
ALLOW YOUR MIND TO SET YOU FREE
WONT YOU TAKE THESE WICKED THOUGHTS
ERASE THEM FROM MY HEAD
(CHASE THEM AWAY)
JUMBLED THOUGHTS AND CLOUDED MIND
FORGET THE WORDS I SPOKE
(WHAT DID I SAY)
RECITING A DEAD LANGUAGE
WE LEFT THERE ON A NOTE
(SPEAK IN TONGUES)
COMFORTING COHERENCE
I SINK INTO THE BED
(I AM ONE)
SINK INTO THE BED (4X)

I CAN'T EAT, CAN'T SLEEP, CAN'T BREATH CAN'T DREAM
I CAN SEE THEIR EYES, THEY'RE SWARMING ME
I CAN FEEL THEM CRAWL, THEY'RE ON MY SKIN
BANGIN' AT YOUR DOOR, PLEASE LET ME IN
THE BUGS, THE BUGS, THEY TELL ME WHAT TO DO
THEY SPEAK ME LIES I KNOW DEEP DOWN AREN'T TRUE
THEY COVER MY FACE UNTIL I CAN NOT SEE
THE BUGS, THE BUGS, CAN'T SHAKE THEM OFF OF ME
LOCK MYSELF IN MY ROOM TONIGHT
PARADISE HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH PLIGHT
HIDE AWAY FROM THE DEMONS
FRIENDS LIKE SEASONS COMMIT TREASON
THE BUGS, THE BUGS, THEY TELL ME WHAT TO DO
THEY SPEAK ME LIES I KNOW DEEP DOWN AREN'T TRUE
THEY COVER MY FACE UNTIL I CAN NOT SEE
THE BUGS, THE BUGS, CAN'T SHAKE THEM OFF OF ME
THE BUGS ARE COMING FOR MY BRAIN
THEY'VE COME TO TAKE ME AWAY
WE CANNOT HIDE FOR ITS NOT SAFE
BEFORE THE BUGS HAVE LAIN TO WASTE
CRAWL INTO MY EYES (THEY'RE FULL OF FEAR)
COMING IN DISGUISE (THEY'RE WATCHING, ALWAYS NEAR)
CRAWLING THROUGH THE CRACKS (THEY'RE HIDING IN THE WALLS)
NEVER COMING BACK (THEY TOOK IT ALL, THEY TOOK IT AL
