Brains For Actors [Pop Rock]

baby listen to me please I have something to say
I wasn't thinking clearly, haven't been so sure for so long
life keeps rushing by my face
flying through time and space too fast for me to stay on course

I'm crashing down into the land, hit a mountain, now I'm down
the sky is dangerous, don't stay so high for too long
you'll be like me and just do things
no thought involved, you just do it 'cause you think you can

that's what's been going on for me
wish it'd change 'cause it's killing me
I don't want to be a piece of shit but it seems I am anyway
I can't change the way I am, I'm too far into this trap

I'm not thinking all this through anymore than I should
maybe less than I'd like to say I'm thinking through
I swear it's not intentional but it happens to be this way
wish it'd stop and I could change

somehow I think there's little hope to fix it all
take me back to the day when you were there on your own in need of help
I'm sure I'd help you once again but wouldn't leave you anymore
take us back to the time when I said I'm leaving you

I'll change that day to be the way it ought to be
so many things that I would change if I could just go back in time
everyone would be happy with their lives the way that they should be
I wouldn't ruin another life if I could stop myself from this

I would stop myself from falling for this one and all the others that I've met
you're the one for me forever and I'll stop myself from this
why should I change for you if you hate the way I am
I hate myself, you know it's true because of you and me, it's life

Rain Storm [Rock]

try and wash away your tracks in the rain
guilt is closing in, you know you're so wrong
what's left behind, not washed away
you left behind enough to get caught

the rain won't wash away all of your tracks
if you want to be free, then burn all that's left
the rain can not take all of the pain
the tracks are so thin, but you're still around

now guilt closes in, you know you've done wrong
keep coming back, see if you're found
your tracks are so thin, hidden within
watching your back, you cover the end with the rain

tears wash away all that's behind
I've got you near, discovered you're here
burning the pain, watching the rain
going insane, you wait for the pain

are you sorry for what's done
you use the rain to hide what's behind
well the rain can't hide all of your past
your mistakes are undone, but the fact is still there

watching the rain, crying in vain
guilt closes in and you know you're undone
you're so afraid of what you can do
so wash away all of the pain

The Truthful Lies [Pop Punk]

every day I'm asked the same things from those who know of our past
what went wrong when we lasted for so long
and I can't even say a thing 'cause I'm ashamed of who I am
I don't want to be this way but it's life, that's who I am

now I don't want to be this way, I'm ashamed of who I am
what's become of myself
and why would I lie at all, no one trusts the liar's truth
I'm ashamed of who I am but it's life it's who I am

every day they say the things I don't want to hear from them
I can't say a thing to them 'cause I'm ashamed of who I am
if I say anything, it won't help a thing at all
and when I tell the truth to you, you don't think it's really true

'cause I've lied so much before, couldn't stop it anytime
and no one trusts the lies I say even if the truth is heard
and I can't say the things I've done
'cause I don't want to be this way, who I am isn't right

I don't want to be this way, it's who I am, I want to change
anything I say is classified as lies and nothing else
someone save me and help me out 'cause I don't want to be this way
the way I am is killing me

tried to run and hide from it,
that made it worse, it didn't help a bit
all the times they ask me what went wrong with us
I can't say a thing to them 'cause if I do I'll cry in shame

I hate the thing that I've become, so ashamed of who I am
all these things I've said and done are killing me inside the heart
I warn you now to stay away 'cause I don't want to hurt you too
I'm ashamed of who I am, I don't want to be this way
