Staind - Break the Cycle
As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of people's 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
Over population 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
You turn away
As I walk along the streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain

I just need this to be alright
I can't feel this another night
Pre:
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
Pre
My head hurts this shit isn't getting me high
My chest is so tight I think I am going to die
My stomach's inknots and the room starts to spin
As I wait for this Valium to slowly kick in
Chorus 2x

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 inside but
Have so much that I could feel some
Pride for in my life so why is it that
I feel like this
Chorus
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
I try and try to break away from all the hate
I'm feeling for everyone 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.
Chorus
So now the waves they have subsided
And my soul is bleeding I can't take away
The shame I feel, forgive me

Respect, Respect what is found
Respect should 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 I
Can't believe
Never again, trusted in you
Fuck everything that you think I should be
I stand, never again, never again
Can't believe

Your words to me just a whisper
Your Faces so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear
'Cause it's always raining in my head
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 can't take anymore
Of this, I want to come apart,
or dig myself A little hole inside
your precious heart
'Cause it's 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
And I talk to you like children
but I don't know
How I feel but I know
I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed
But it's always raining in my head
- forget all the things
I should have said

The more you see the more you do
The television's feeding you,
write what you want to hear, anger and fear,
because you suffer the hate you feel won't go away
You're programmed to feel this way to live
another day within a world That loves to suffer
Chorus
And then I come to find everything's O.K.
seen this all before but that was yesterday
try to walk right through the messes that I've made
just let me enjoy the life here that I have
I 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
Chorus
And then I come to find
And then I come to find

Another day
inside my world
I'm married to
you and this road
A road that never lets
me sleep so there's
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
everything's 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 me 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 everything's clear
and I'm home inside your arms but I'm alone for now

Your 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 replace the life you,
the life you waste.
How could you paint this picture?
Was 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 replace
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 strength 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 don't replace
the life you waste

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