For You Lyrics By Staind

To my mother, to my father,
It's your son or it's your daughter,
Are my screams loud enough for you to hear me?
Should I turn this up for you?

I sit locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence gets us nowhwere!
Gets us nowhere way too fast!

The silence is what kills me
I need someone here to help me
But you don't know how to listen
And let me make my decisions

'Cause I sit here locked
inside my head remembering everything you've said
The silence gets us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere to fast!

All your insults and your curses make
me feel like I'm not a person
And I feel like I am nothing but
you made me so do something
'Cause I'm fucked up because you are
Need attention, attention you couldn't give

I sit here locked inside my head
Remembering everything you've said
This silence get us nowhere!
Gets us nowhere way to fast

Four Walls Lyrics By Staind

The thoughts from my mind
Command my lips say I hate you
The thoughts from my mind
Command my hands to cut your silken flesh
The thoughts from my mind
Command my feet to stomp your head
The thoughts from my mind have one question...
When will this ever end?

[CHORUS:]
Not much to the life I live
Same 4 Walls
I have nothing left to give
Please take it all away....
Same 4 Walls

The thoughts from my mind
Feel the pain as rats claw at my flesh

The thoughts from my mind
Feels the joy as the needls hits my vein
The thoughts from my mind
Smells the stench as shit runs down my leg
The thoughts from my mind ask for sanity
Now for this I beg

[CHORUS]

The thoughts from my mind
Command my lips say I hate you
The thoughts from my mind
Command my hands to cut your silken flesh
The thoughts from my mind
Command my feet to stomp your head
The thoughts from my mind have one question...
WHEN WILL I BE DEAD?

[CHORUS]

Painful Lyrics By Staind

I light another cigarette
Stop to think about it
Come to no conclusions
Take each step as it comes
Hold no prisioners except myself
Painful thoughts denied

Try to explain
My loss of words
Fuck you I piss upon you all

My head is a barricade
Filled with peaceful thoughts
With evil outcomes
No one understands
Try to break the barrier
I see no outlet
No ones there to catch me when I fall

Try to explain
My loss of words
Fuck you I piss upon you all

See Thru All Lyrics By Staind

"WHAT IS YOUR FUCKING PROBLEM!?"
...You wanna know what my problem is?

Alone, I walk beside myself
Alone, you put me on your shelf
Alone, with my insanity
Alone, no one to blame but me
But if you had told me when I was much younger
That life has a way of pulling you right under
I wouldn't be standing here preaching my hate
I stand at the edge staring into my fate

[CHORUS:]
I see thru you
What makes you think that you're god
Pick up the pieces as I fall apart
Why must you fuck with me

Betrayed, You left me here for dead
Betrayed, By the voices in my head
Betrayed, left my out in the rain
Betrayed, nothing left but pain
I'm sick of the answers
Your cannibal instincts and false dedications
You leave me here cold, nothing left but my shell
To die while I'm living and burn in my hell

[CHORUS]

I pick you apart little by little
Till nothing is left but the look on your face
Once inside our I can get at what's inside
Beneath your facad I can see your discrase
The walls that you build up will crumble around you
The pain you will feel as you wither away
The sun though it comes up will warm you...
No longer

Safe Place Lyrics By Staind

Another day
Inside my world
I'm married to
you and this road.
A road that never lets
me sleep .
So theres no way to escape the
demons I am forced to keep.

And then I find you here
Through your eyes
Everything's clear
And I'm home
Inside your arms,
But I'm alone for now.

I mean the best
with what I say.
It doesn't always
sound that way
I never learned to
Work things out cause
In my family all we
Ever seem to do is shout

But then I find you here
Through your eyes,
everythings clear
And I'm home
inside your arms,
but I'm alone for now.

And when I try to sleep-
the drugs I take
are killing me - I think of you
to ease my pain -
but you're so far-
Now it's time to say goodbye.
I love you baby
please don't cry -
'cause then I'll find you here -
Through your eyes everythings clear -
and I'm home inside your arms - but I'm alone for now.

But then I find you here
Through your eyes,
everythings clear
And I'm home
inside your arms,
but I'm alone for now.

Crawl Lyrics By Staind

I'm so lonely
You're so beautiful
Not the only
One that's pitiful

Scratched and torn I lay here in pieces
Craving all of your deadly vices
Like to think that I'm not addicted
But I guess I wear it well

And I crawl
While you spit
And I crawl
Through you

Here I am now
Not a lot has changed
Nothing' better
Everything's the same

Late at night I can hear your voices
Talking shit about all my choices
You would think you've known me forever
Just because you know my name

And I crawl
While you spit
And I crawl
Through you

Everything falls apart
Everything... [3x]

Everything falls apart
Everything [3x]

And I crawl
While you spit
And I crawl
Through

It's Been A While Lyrics By Staind

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I first saw you
And it's been awhile
Since I could stand on my own two feet again
And it's been awhile
Since I could call you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've stretched myself beyond my means

And it's been awhile
Since I can say that I wasn't addicted
And it's been awhile
Since I can say I love myself as well
And it's been awhile
Since I've gone and fucked things up just like I always do
And it's been awhile
But all that shit seems to disappear when I'm with you

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem
The consequences that I've rendered
I've gone and fucked things up again

Why must I feel this way?
Just make this go away
Just one more peaceful day!

And it's been awhile
Since I could look at myself straight
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been awhile
Since I've seen the way the candle lights your face
And it's been awhile
But I can still remember just the way you taste

And everything I can't remember
As fucked up as it all may seem to be I know it's me
I cannot blame this on my father
He did the best he could for me

And it's been awhile
Since I could hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

Intro Lyrics By Staind

thank you to the people in my life
for putting up with me
and thank you for the time you sacrificed
all on account of me

[chorus]

for all the times i didn't say
the times i didn't say
for all the times i didn't say
the times i didn't say

fuck you to the jaded and the fake

we're not all perfect just like you,
like you, like you

[chorus]

all the times i didn't say [x2]
thank you to the people in my life for putting up with me

So Far Away Lyrics By Staind

this is my life
its not what it was before
all these feelings i've shared
and these are my dreams
that i'd never lived before
somebody shake me
cuz i
i must be sleeping

[chorus]
now that we're here,
it's so far away
all the struggle we thought was in vain
all in the mistakes,
one life contained
they all finally start to go away
now that we're here its so far away
and i feel like i can face the day i can forgive
and i'm not ashambed to be the person that i am today

these are my words
that i've never said before
i think i'm doing okay
and this is the smile
that i've never shown before

somebody shake me cuz i
i must be sleeping

[chorus]

i'm so afraid of waking
please don't shake me
afraid of waking
please don't shake me

Spleen Lyrics By Staind

Can't breathe!
Shut up [2x]

I feel I give everything to you

Can't breathe!
Shut up [2x]

I think there's nothing left to do

Can't breathe!
Shut up [2x]

I don't like today, take it all away
Just like what you say - I don't want you

Kinda like the way, everything is gray
Just like what you say - I don't need you

I don't look like you, do the things you do
But I'm fucked up too - I don't need you

Can't breathe!
Shut up [2x]

I feel you are what's changed my soul

Can't breathe!
Shut up [2x]

I think I'll never lose control

Can't breathe!
Shut up [2x]

I don't like today, take it all away
Just like what you say - I don't want you

Kinda like the way, everything is gray
Just like what you say - I don't need you

I don't look like you, do the things you do
But I'm fucked up too - I don't need you

I don't understand it
You're killing this planet
The scabs on your face
It's a fucking disgrace
I blame you [2x]

I blame you [5x]

Can't breathe!
Shut up [2x]

I'm don't like today, take it all away (shut up)
Just like what you say - I don't want you (shut up)

Kinda like the way, everything is gray (shut up)
Just like what you say - I don't need you (shut up)

I don't look like you, do the things you do (shut up)
But I'm fucked up too - I don't need you (shut up)

Mudshovel Lyrics By Staind

You take away
I feel the same

You take away
I feel the same
All the promises you made to me you made in vain
I lost myself inside your tainted smile again

Cause you can feel my ANGER
You can feel my pain
You can feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

I feel betrayed
Stuck in your ways
And you rip me apart
With the brutal things you say
I can't deal with shit anymore
I just look away

Cause you can feel my ANGER
You can feel my pain
You can feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings they bring only pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

Mudshovel

You take away
I feel the same
All these promises
You promised only pain
If you take away
And leave me with nothing again

'Cause you can feel my ANGER
You can feel my pain
You can feel my torment
Driving me insane
I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You can't take away
Make me whole again

You will feel my anger
You will feel my pain
You will feel my torment
Driving you insane
I can't fight these feelings they will bring you pain
You won't take away
I'll be whole again

Mudshovel

Just Go Lyrics By Staind

I'm kinda numb
It's so distorted
You left me here with this damage that you've caused
My tortured faces
I've fucked up places
In my memories none of them I've lost, but...

I haven't been here long enough to know
Everytime I feel this I just lose control
Such a cancer on the face of everything that's beautiful
I wish that this would just go, go.

It's kinda sick
I feel so dirty
I'm kinda tragic kinda insecure
But I know that I'm the only
One that can fix whatever's wrong I'm sure, but...

I haven't been here long enough to know
Everytime I feel this I just lose control
Such a cancer on the face of everything that's beautiful
I wish that this would just go, go.

I feel so alone
From all I've become
I'll take you down
I'll feel so down
I'm water while you drown
You're lifted while I'm down
I'm cancer in your womb
I'm the needle in your spoon, but...

I haven't been here long enough to know
Everytime I feel this I just lose control
Such a cancer on the face of everything that's beautiful
I wish that this would just go, go.

Just
Just
Just
Just go
Go
Go

All these fucking lies [3x]
All your fucking lies [3x]

No One's Kind Lyrics By Staind

What the fuck's the purpose
I didn't scratch the surface
Immune to what your saying
All along decaying
Can't see thru the fire
Darkness lone desire
Quiet in my corner
Building up the border

Can't stand the way you make me feel today
No One's kind is all you'll ever be

Can't see thru the rain
Too much time
No sublime
losss of energy
No symmentry
Fuck soceity
Lost in nievate

Can't stand they way you break me...
Can't take the pain you break me....
Can't bite the hand that feeds me...
Can't take away what's in me

Addicted to the feelings
Lose touch with all I've know
The cobwebs on the cieling
Make me aware that I'm all alone

The endless rain washes all away
Makes clean the mess I have made

Home Lyrics By Staind

I force myself through another day
Can't explain the way today just fell apart like everything
Right in my face
And I try to be the one
I can't accept this all because of you
I've had to walk away
From everything

I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home

Another sleepless night again
Hotel rooms my only friend
And friends like that just don't add up
To anything
And I try so hard to be everything
That I should never take away from you again
'Cause I heard ya say

I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home

I cannot forget
I live with regret
I cannot forget
I live with...

I'll live through this
I can't see through this
I can't do this anymore

I'm afraid to be alone
Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I'm afraid to come back home

Afraid you'll leave me when I'm gone
I just wish I was back home
Home

Right Here Lyrics By Staind

I know I've been mistaken
But just give me a break and see the changes that I've made
I've got some imperfections
But how can you collect them all and throw them in my face

But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting

I hope you're not intending
To be so condescending it's as much as i can take
and you're so independent
you just refuse to bend so I keep bending till I break

But you always find a way to keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if you chose to walk away I'd still be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say to keep you right here waiting

I've made a commitment
I'm willing to bleed for you
I needed fulfillment
I found what I need in you

Why can't you just forgive me
I don't want to relive all the mistakes I've made along the way
But I always find a way to keep you right here waiting
I always find the words to say to keep you right here waiting

But you always find a way
To keep me right here waiting
You always find the words to say to keep me right here waiting
And if I chose to walk away would you be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say to keep me right here waiting

Bring The Noise Lyrics By Staind

Gimme some guitars punk
Sweet Leth
Limp Bizkit in the house
What fucken' house?
Seattle baby
Terry Date, Limp Bizkit, Staind

Bring the noise
Bass! how low can you go?
Death row what a brother knows
Once again, back is the incredible
The rhyme animal
The incredible D. Public Enemy number one
Five-o said "freeze!" and I got numb
Can I tell 'em that I really never had a gun?
But it's the wax that the Terminator X-1
Now they got me in a cell 'cuz my records they sell
'Cuz a brother like me said "well?"
Farrakhan's a racist and I think you should listen to
What he can say to you what you otta do
Follow for now power of the people say.
"Make a miracle, D. pump the lyrical"
United we stand, all in all, we're gonna win.
Check it out, yeah y'all, here we go again

Turn it up, bring the noise!
I said turn it up! bring the noise!

Never badder than bad 'cuz the brother is madder than mad
At the fact that's corrupt as a senator
Soul on a roll, but you treat it like soap on a rope
'Cuz the beats in the lines are so dope
Listen for lessons I'm saying
Inside music that the critics are blasting me
For they'll never care for the brother and sisters
Now across the country has us up for the war.
We got to demostrate, come on
They're gonna have to wait 'till we get it right
Radio stations I question their blackness
They call themselves black. but we'll see if they'll play this

Turn it up, bring the noise!
I said turn it up! bring the noise!

Get from in front of me, the crowd runs to me
My DJ is Lethal dose, we call him Leth you know
He can cut a record from side to side
So what, the ride the glide should be much safer than a suicide
Soul control, beat is the father or our rock' n' roll
Music for whatcha, for whichin' you call a band man
Makin' a music abuse it but you can't do it, ya know
You call 'em demos but we ride limos, too
Whatcha gonna do? Rap is not afraid of you
Beat is for Sonny Bono, beat is for Yoko Ono
Run DMC first said a DJ could be a band
Stand on it's feet get you out your seat
Beat is for Eric B. and LB as well, hell
Records from Fred D still we can rock bells
Ever for ever, Universal it will sell
Time for me to exit, Terminator X-it

Turn it up, bring the noise!
I said turn it up! bring the noise!

Bring that fucken' noise, and get the fuck up
Get the fuck up
Bring the noise
Bring it
Fuck this
Limp Bizkit
Fuck this
In the studio
Fucken Suck ass
Bring that noise
Man fuck this
Terry Date is a fucken pain
Everybody shut up and turn the fucken' tape off

Tonight Lyrics By Staind

just try to understand this isn't what i planned
this ride's out of my hands
so now i'm forced to be something i can not be
if only i could make you see

[chorus]

tonight i'm alive
i've watched you all grow up and so have i
inside this isn't really what i had in mind
i no longer relate to this world of hate
that's forced upon my plate
i tend to disagree, i hope its not just me,
alone if only i could make you see

[chorus (x3)]

Raw Lyrics By Staind

RAW

The pictures left with me won't fade
These images affect me every day
Cause of you I feel I don't deserve
The life I see in her

Just don't leave me
RAW

Inside I'm so cold
Inside I'm so cold

RAW

I've never been someone who knows
My choices haunt me everywhere I go
Finally did something right for myself
My life to you no one else

Just don't leave me
RAW

Inside I'm so cold
Inside I'm so cold

I'm so cold
I feel so cold

I CAN'T TAKE THIS
RAW
I feel so...

Inside I'm so cold
Inside I'm so cold

RAW

I feel so:

Zoe Jane Lyrics By Staind

well i want you to notice

to notice when i'm not around

and i know that your eyes see straight through me

and speak to me without a sound



[chorus]



i want to hold you

protect you from all of the things i've already endured

i want to show you

show you all of the things that this life has in store for you

i'll always love you

the way that a father should love his daughter



when i walked out this morning

i cried as i walked to the door

i cried about how long i'd be away for

i cried about leaving you all alone



[chorus]



sweet zoe jane [x2]



so i wanted to say this

cuz i wouldn't know where to begin

to explain to you what i have been through

to explain where your daddy has been



[chorus]



sweet zoe jane [x2]

Come Again Lyrics By Staind

You push yourself on me
Force yourself on me
Free yourself through me

You better save yourself from me
Every time you want me to be
Something I could never be
Guess you'll have to wait and see
Till the next time that you have to

COME AGAIN!

I hate myself for you
I break myself for you
I'd kill myself for you
I'd better save myself from you
Everytime you want me to be
Something I could never be
Guess you'll have to wait and see
Till the next time that you have to

COME AGAIN!

If you have to walk my way
Have somethingto say
Get the fuck away
Can't take one more day
I cannot conform

COME AGAIN!

Fray Lyrics By Staind

i know that it never goes away
all i feel, everything i'm not today
so i try and i try to make everything right
i don't feel like i'm doing it, it affects me

[chorus]

you wouldn't listen even if i told you
who the fuck am i to say?
you're too busy with the lies they sold you
another cure to fix your day
open wide for all the shit they feed you
while you watch the TV delecates
and blindly walk wherever they will lead you
while the edges slowly fray

i know that everything can change
what i need is to open up again
so never again will i look back in vain
cuz today's not the past,
i don't need to relive it

[chorus]

are you satisfied?
i've given all i can and are you pacified
or do you want more from me?

[chorus]

i've learned that this life's not just a game
just a line between the pleasures and the pain

[chorus]

Outside Lyrics By Staind

And you
Bring me to my knees
Again
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
And I leave
My burdens at the door

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside your ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I felt like this won't end
It's for you
And I taste
What I could never have
It was from you
All the times
That I've cried
My intentions
Full of pride
But I waste
More time than anyone

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I've cried
All this wasted
It's all inside
And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend
But I feel
Tomorrow will be OK

But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

Blow Away Lyrics By Staind

live in my head for just one day
i see myself andlook away
the road is showing now on my face
soon i'll disappear
disappear without a fucking trace

[chorus]

faces that i've seen turn old and grey
i've lost too many freinds along the way
memories i never thought would fade
they fade and blow away

i wish that icould disappear
unzip my skin and leave it here
so i could be no one again
and never let nobody,
i'd let nobody
i'd never let nobody in

[chorus]

so now the walls are closing in
because in life you sink or swim
sometimes these shoes don't feel right in my head
feel like a book that can't be read,
a book that can't be,
a book that can't be read

[chorus]

Reality Lyrics By Staind

the lights are on but you're not home
you've drifted off somewhere alone
somewhere that's safe,
no questions here
a quiet place where you hide from your fears

[chorus]

sometimes when you're out of rope
the way to climb back up's unclear
the walls you build around yourself
i guess they also keep you there
are you afraid of what they thing?
whoever "they" happen to be
or are you hiding from the scars of your own reality?

so you sedate and drown in vain
you've got a pill for every day
a suit and tie to mask the truth
its ugly head is starthing to show through

[chorus]

[bridge]

the monster you're feeding,
your lack of perception
the things you will do
to fullfill addictions
the light at the end of your tunnel is closing
what is it that you're so afraid of exposing?
you'd give it all up for what's there for the taking
whatever it takes to keep your hands from shaking
the same things you're thinking might make you feel better
the same things that probably get you here

[chorus]

[bridge]

Take It Lyrics By Staind

I feel like this won't go away
no matter how hard I try
to squeeze my eyes shut
so i can't see the pain
in you this pain in me - in me

But everything that I can say to you
Won't help you - everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it

I know that I am really not here
to represent what I am not clear
About in my head sometimes
I feel fucked up just like you do - like you do

But everything that I can say to you
Won't help you - everything you need is right in front of you
Just take it

Try to make it through the daily pain
That you feel - maybe tomorrow won't be so bad.
It know it
'cause I once felt that way
Nothing I could say
Made it go away
I lived through this
I still feel this
I just live for my tomorrow

Make it go away
Just make it go away
She'll make it go away

Suffer Lyrics By Staind

Suffer

The more you see the more you do
The television's feeding you. With what
You want to hear, anger and fear, because you suffer

The hate you feel won't go away you're all programmed to
feel this way to live another day within a world
That loves to suffer

And then I come to find everything's O.K. seen this all
before but that was yesterday. I try to walk right
through the messes that I've made just let me enjoy
the life here that I've made

I've tried to give it all to you. Can't take anymore to do
with this. It hurts inside. I know why I hide 'cause
I suffer

I tried to keep it all inside didn't leave me too much
pride forced it all down inside forced myself to make
me suffer

And then I come to find everything's O.K. seen this all
before but that was yesterday. I try to walk right
through the messes that I've made just let me enjoy
the life here that I've made

And then I come to find

Can't Believe Lyrics By Staind

Respect
Respect is what is found
Respect should be abound
Respect everything that you leave

(I can't believe)
Can't Believe

And I, I can't believe
I can't believe all the travesty
Surrounding me, I , I want to flee
I want to flee from everything
In front of me!

Can't Believe

Never again, trusted in you
Fuck everything you think I should be
I stand, never again, never again
--
Can't Believe

Could It Be Lyrics By Staind

well i don't know what to say
because there's truth to what you say
i know it kills you i'm this way
there's something different every day

[chorus]

could it be that i never had the chance to grow inside?
could it be that sometimes i say things just to disagree?
could it be that i'm only being me?

not easy living in my mind
a little peace is hard to find
my every thought is undermined
by all the history inside

[chorus]

[bridge]

i know i hear the words you said
over and over again
i just can't get them through my head
there's just too many voices
must be like living with the dead
waiting for me to begin
to do the things i have said
and for this i'm sorry
so there's some truth to what you say

[chorus]

How About You Lyrics By Staind

if someone else showed you the way
would you take the wheel and steer?
it hurts me that you're not ashamed
of what you're doing here
if they jumped off a bridge
would you meet them on the ground?
or would you try and claim
that it never made a sound

[chorus]
everyone plays the hand they're dealt
and learns to walk through life themselves
not everything in life is handed on a plate
when people think your words are true
it doesn't matter what you do
i sold my soul to get here
how 'bout you?

so you choose to force your hand
what a strange way to make freinds
and you always change the rules
so the drama never ends
and you blindly go through life
judging only by what its worth
just try not to forget
that the meek inherit earth

[chorus]

so please don't take offense
this is just a point of view
cuz i'm the only one who
will say these things to you

[chorus]

Price To Play Lyrics By Staind

Failed to see how destructive we can be (can be)
Taking without giving back till the damage can be seen (be seen)

Can you see?! Can you see?!

The more you take the more you blame
For everything still feels the same
The more you hurt the more you scream
The price you pay to play the game
And all you see and all you gave
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules no one no blame
The price to pay to play the game

Empathy the chosen way to be (to be)
Blindly look the other way while you waste away with me (with me)

Can you see?! Can you see?!

The more you take the more you blame
For everything still feels the same
The more you hurt the more you scream
The price you pay to play the game
And all you see and all you gave
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules no one no blame
The price to pay to play the game

What you pay to play the game [x4]

The more you take the more you blame
For everything still feels the same
The more you hurt the more you scream
The price you pay to play the game
And all you see and all you gave
And all you step on with no shame
There are no rules no one no blame
The price to pay to play the game

What you pay to play the game [x4

Epiphany Lyrics By Staind

Your words to me just a whisper
Your faces so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the thing's I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles because
My words get in my way. I smoke the
whole thing to my head and feel it
wash away 'cause i don't take anymore
or this, I want to come apart.
or dig myself a little hole inside
your precious heart

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than a little boy inside
That cries out for attention
though I always try to hide
'Cause I talk to you like children,
Though I don't know how I feel
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed

'Cause its always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

Change Lyrics By Staind

If ever you had said to me before
That I would live this life that I am
Living now I guess it's all so strange
To feel the way I do inisde but
Have so much that I could feel some
pride for in my life so why is it that
I feel like this

How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.

I try and try to break away from all the hate
I'm feeling for every one of you that's ever
done me wrong. I need to justify the reasons
for the way I'm living. I guess I can't 'cause
I don't feel like I deserve it

How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.

So now the waves they have subsided
And my soul is bleeding I can't take away
the shame I feel. Forgive me.

How do I feel? I've been here before.
I've felt this.
Retreat to a place, a place within me.
I need this. Keep it all down, bottled inside
It breaks me to torment again and
torture me like it used to.

AGAIN!

Fill Me Up Lyrics By Staind

i just had to let you know
cuz i don't always let it show
you give me needed room to grow
and i just had to tell you so

[chorus]

you fill me up,
you're in my veins
a look could take my breath away
and all these things, you give away
sometimes i take for granted
it's just like poetry inside to hear you breathing by my side
like i'm in heaven and i've died
so glad you're with me for this ride

[chorus]

i see your face to start my day
makes my all bad dreams go away
and all the stupid games we play
wouldn't have it any other way

[chorus (x2)]

Crawl Lyrics By Staind

I'm so lonely
You're so beautiful
Not the only
One that's pitiful

Scratched and torn I lay here in pieces
Craving all of your deadly vices
Like to think that I'm not addicted
But I guess I wear it well

And I crawl
While you spit
And I crawl
Through you

Here I am now
Not a lot has changed
Nothing' better
Everything's the same

Late at night I can hear your voices
Talking shit about all my choices
You would think you've known me forever
Just because you know my name

And I crawl
While you spit
And I crawl
Through you

Everything falls apart
Everything... [3x]

Everything falls apart
Everything [3x]

And I crawl
While you spit
And I crawl
Through

Open Your Eyes Lyrics By Staind

As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of peoples feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof over head
A crack head asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?

A boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation there's no room in jail
But most of you don't give a shit
That your daughters are porno stars
and Your sons sell death to kids
You're so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?

You turn away
As I walk along the streets
Soaking up the cold rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain

What would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything for granted like you do?

Layne Lyrics By Staind

i heard today that you were gone
i had to stop and sing along
the song they played to say goodbye
a song they gave, give me back life

[chorus]

you'll never fade
the words you gave
my life you saved
your name was layne
and on that day a child was born
to someone who you helped along
and helped see through his darkest times
because of you, this child she is mine

[chorus]

[bridge]

the words you said, you made me feel like they were all for me
the words you said, they will always be a part of me
the words you said, you made me feel like i was not alone
the words you said, you gave me all the strength to carry on

[chorus (altered)]

so to me you'll never fade
your life you gave
my life you saved
your name was layne

Fade Lyrics By Staind

I try to breathe
Memories overtaking me
I try to face them but
The thought is too much to conceive

I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
that my life became 'cause

I just needed someone to talk to
You were just to busy with yourself
You were never there for me
To express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

So where were you?
When all this I was going through
You never took the time
To ask me just what you could do

I only know that I can change
Everything else just stays the same
So now I step out of the darkness
that my life became 'cause

I just needed someone to talk to
You were just to busy with yourself
You were never there for me
To express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

I never meant to fade...
Away

I NEVER MEANT TO FADE

I just needed someone to talk to
You were just to busy with yourself
You were never there for me
To express how I felt
I just stuffed it down
Now I'm older and I feel like
I could let some of this anger fade
But it seems the surface I am scratching
Is the bed that I have made

I try to breathe...

Question Lyrics By Staind

Which way do I go?

Pain I swallow I cannot keep it down
Hate I swallow I cannot keep it down

Down

You I hate you I cannot keep you down
You I'll rape you I cannot keep it down

Down

You before me
I can't take any more
Of what you have to offer
My ears are sore
Leave my feelings
In a heap by the door
Can't go up any futher
Come crashing back down

Tolerate Lyrics By Staind

I Don't give a fuck
About all of your problems
I could give a rats ass
how your feeling today
take your wordly advice
and shove it straight up your ass
Thanks for coming around
to fuck up my day

I try
TOLERATE
Good-bye
Take me... [4x]

Look at you I can't
You don't see the whole picture
take my bed of dirt
cold and empty I'll stay
what's the point of trying
To stay above the surface
Take my life from me
Help me to ease my pain

I try
TOLERATE
Good-bye
Take me...

Try to see the way around you
I can't find it
Try to take the path behind me
Can't rewind it
Stick your finger in my face and
I will break it
Leave me with an after taste

I try
TOLERATE
Good-bye
Take me... [4x]

Nameless Lyrics By Staind

The walls around me caving in
Cracked and grey
Remind me of myself, I need some help
There's no one else
I'm empty
Addicted
Pissed off
And still afraid
Of what you
Have left me
To live in
This mess you've made

I feel...
Useless...
Jaded...
Nameless

the ride is over I've come down
Hate to be
Can't rely upon myself, for my own health
I'm so fucked up
Distorted
Dysfunctional
and drained
All my deep rooted
Fears seem to get
The best of me

I feel...
Useless...
Jaded...
Nameless

I hate the way you fuck with me
You can't rely on open eyes to see
I force these painful visions from my head
You won't be happy till I break down

I feel...
Useless...
Jaded...
Nameless

Yesterday Lyrics By Staind

you don't know what you've put me through
it's okay, i've forgiven you
but in some way, hope it fucks with you
hope it fucks with you

[pre-chorus]
that i'm okay and i've made it through
i'll say no names, though i've wanted to
isn't it strange how it seems like...

[chorus]
yesterday, a boy and already afraid
locked deep inside, my place to hide
to hide from how you made me feel
and i wonder how's your brother
did he end up fucked up like me?
lost in himself, crying for help it's safe to say
i learned to live without a pride
just a shell, with me stuck on the inside
a prison, not a place to hide
not a place to hide

[pre-chorus]

[chorus]
[chorus (altered)]

yesterday, a boy and already afraid
locked deep inside, my place to hide
to hide from how you made me feel
and i wonder how's your brother
did he finally pull through like me?
finding himself, not needing help
i'd like to say

Me Lyrics By Staind

I hear you talk about your family life
I wish I knew just what that means
I guess my mother never loved my dad
And now I wear it on my sleeve

My sister called me just the other day
It felt so good to hear her voice
My problem is I don't have much to say
I guess she doesn't have a choice, and I'm sorry

Look at me I'm so pathetic
I can't believe I'm just an addict
I've never needed anyone to help me
I'm begging you to please come save me from myself, save me from my...

My mothers always tried to change herself
She never learned to let things be
She doesn't know how bad she messed me up
'Cause now she seems so fake to me but I love her

Look at me I'm so pathetic
I can't believe I'm just an addict
I've never needed anyone to help me
I'm begging you to please come save me from myself, save me from myself

If you push me then I won't fall
I've been programmed to take it all
And shove it way down inside

Like my father [2x]

I'm so pathetic
I can't believe I'm just an addict
I've never needed anyone to help me (I'm failing it)
I'm begging you to please come save me from myself

I hear you talk about your family life
I wish I knew just what that means

Waste Lyrics By Staind

You mother came up to me
She wanted answers only she should know
Only she should know

It wasn't easy to deal
With the tears that rolled down her face
I had no answers 'cause
I didn't even know you

But these words
They can't repace
The life you...
...the life you waste

How could you paint this picture?
With life as bad as it should seem
That there were no more options for you
I can't explain how I feel
I've been there many times before
I've tasted the cold steel of my life crashing down before me

But these words
They can't repace
The life you...
...the life you waste

Did Daddy not love you?
Or did he love you just too much?
Did he control you?
Did he live through you at your cost?
Did he leave no questions for you to answer on your own?

WELL FUCK THEM!
AND FUCK HER!
AND FUCK HIM!
AND FUCK YOU!
For not having
The strenght in your heart
To pull through!
I've had doubts!
I have failed!
I've fucked up!
I've had plans!
Doesn't mean
I should take
My Life
With my own hands

But these words
They can't repace
The life you...
...the life you waste

But these words
The don't replace
The life you...
THE LIFE YOU WASTE

A Flat Lyrics By Staind

Trust In me can't trust
I know, I don't believe it
All my life so scarred
what for, you can't conceive it
Everything you fear
I'll be, you couldn't live it
I whisper in your ear
so loud, why can't you hear it

I'm OK

All my faith is gone
you think I couldn't find it
Pieces falling down
shattered, nothing behind it
In my mind alone,
Lost here I'm separated
Crawl deeper in my hole
safe here from what I hated

All the demons in my head won't leave me
I know I can hear them
All the sacrifices made for nothing
Don't show can't believe it
Want to show that I'm good for something
I can't you won't let me
All your artificial words won't heal me
Because you can't accept me

And I hate myself
And I hate my face
And I hate my world
And I hate my ways

And I
And I
And I

I'M NOT OK!

I'm OK

Trust In me can't trust
Iknow, I don't believe in
All my life so scarred
what for,you can't conceive it
Everything you fear
I'll be, you couldn't live it
I whisper in your ear
why can't you feel it

All the demons in my head won't leave me
I know I can hear them
All the sacrifices made for nothing
Don't show can't believe in
Want to show that I'm good for something
I can't you won't let me
All your artificial words won't heal me
Because you can't accept me

I don't believe it [2x]

Pressure Lyrics By Staind

I just need this to be all right
I can't feel this another night

I can't take this I come unglued
I just need this to be alright
I can't feel this another night

I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure

If you need me I'll be here
Half unconscious to escape my fear

I can't take this I come unglued
I might breakdown in front of you
necessary to medicate
I'm not sleeping, can't stay awake

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure

My head hurts this shit isn't getting me high
My chest is so tight am I going to die
My stomach's in knots and the room starts to spin
As I wait for this valium to slowly kick in

Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure

TOO MUCH PRESSURE!

Suffocate Lyrics By Staind

I feel nothing
Longing for something
Lie in bed to take your clothes off
Show me what you're made of
Drugs to soothe me

(All alone)
Leave me here I'm dying
(All alone)
Just kicked me in my face
(All alone)
All alone and crying
(All alone)
I suffocate

I'm not gifted
Slightly twisted
Try hard try hard
To see if I can push you any further
Drugs to soothe me

(All alone)
Leave me here I'm dying
(All alone)
Just kicked me in my face
(All alone)
All alone and crying
(All alone)
I suffocate

Please believe you'll save me, rearrange me
I can feel your feelings running through me
Take away my sorrow my tomorrow
Heal me

(All alone)
Leave me here I'm dying
(All alone)
Just kicked me in my face
(All alone)
All alone and crying
(All alone)
I suffocate

I'm suffocating
SUFFOCATE (come suffocate)

Falling Down Lyrics By Staind

what's happened to you?
it's obvious you've changed
something deep inside you is probably to blame
must be lonely up there with your head up in the clouds
even though you got there what does your conscience tell you now?

[chorus]

it's never the same on the way down
how does it feel when your feet finally hit the ground?
when all of your bridges aren't around
and the sandcastles you built are falling down
you had us all sitting right there in your hand
but you had to fall because that's how this life is
got your fingers burned by burning candles at both ends
now the table's turned and now your demons are you freinds

[chorus]

[bridge]

so now i question what you're gonna do
now that everything's gone with you
you believe the shit you say is true
but everybody's on to you
life remembers everything you do
your karma has caught up with you

[chorus]

Excess Baggage Lyrics By Staind

Well I know the words, but I can't really speak them
To you

And I hide all the pain that I've gained with my wisdom
From you

And I'm eaten alive by what I hold inside
All the things that I live with I can't easily hide
And I'm left here with nothing, nothing to live for
But you

It's not easy to hide
All this damage inside
I'll carry you with me
Until I'm not alive

When you look at my face, does it seem just as ugly?
To you?

I can't seem to erase all the scars I have lived with
From you

I'm so sick of this place
This taste in my mouth
Cause of you I can't figure what I'm all about
And I'm left here with nothing, nothing to live for
But you

It's not easy to hide
All this damage inside
I'll carry you with me
'Til I'm not alive
