Prologue 02:28
Wake up young man. 

We've come here to undo your chains
Get out of your bed.
Escape from this prison you made.

You can't stay much longer.
Your fears will grow stronger
The bottle inside you is full.

Get out of your basement,
And shut off your video games.
Open your book,
And read us the lines of your pain.

Alone in your Basement
The pages of sorrow
The Bottle inside you is full.

Don't be afraid,
You can pour out your heart.
We know how feel
Cause we've all played this part.

Pick up your life
And perform it again.
You can't change the past
But you can change the end.

Open your book,
And unleash the lines of your life.

The Story 02:30
Listen to my story if it strikes a chord with you. 

About the things that happened every day.
All your friends deceive you and they stab you in the back.
And all that you can do is walk away.

And as I walked away I kept my anger to myself,
and this is why I talk to you today.
Bottled up emotions may do damage to your health.
So listen to the words that I will say.

Hear the things that I was seeing.
See the things that I have heard.
Feel the things that I was feeling.
Just listen to the meaning in the words.

I'll tell you all the stories from the past year of my life.
And show you how my vision came to sight.
I was very doubtful that my feelings couldn't lie.
But now I'm sure that I was always right.

And for everything that happened there are things I have to say.
I've waited long enough to see this time.
With music I will take you through my recent high school days.
I've waited long enough to speak my mind.

Hear the things that I was seeing.
See the things that I have heard.
Feel the things that I was feeling.
Just listen to the meaning in the words.

Doing My Thang 04:55
Sitting in a classroom from 8 AM to 3 

I stayed out of trouble. When trouble stayed with me.
Never caused a problem. Stayed out of the way.
Never talked to ladies. I had nothing to say.

Hanging with the big man
and everybody left us alone.
We just had a good time.
And didn't even need to get stoned.

Lord only knows
I'm just doing my thang.
Nobody knows
I'm just doing my thang.

I walked through the hallway, I had my own style.
No facial expression. Not a hint of a smile.
I had an extra large T-shirt, and loose fitting pants.
And big daddy called me horizontally enhanced.

I didn't bother no one
and nobody else bothered me.
I just played my guitar
and had a laugh with big daddy D.

Lord only knows
I'm just doing my thang.
Nobody knows
I'm just doing my thang.

And as I get older some problems arise.
It's who's seeing this one and who's getting high.
I don't change for no one. I don't change for me.
I don't joke around. What you get is what you see.
I didn't bother no one
but certain things were bothering me.
Should I get with the times,
or be the guy that I wanna be?

Lord only knows
I'm just doing my thang.
Nobody knows
I'm just doing my thang.

Alone In My Basement (part 1) 02:46
Nothing to do and I must have called up everyone. 

It's Saturday night and everyone else is out having fun.
Nobody called up to tell me where everyone's going to.
It's Saturday night and I'm staying home with nothing to do.

I can do some homework, or that history essay I've been putting off...
again.
I can clean up my room but what's the point? It's just gonna get messy...
again.

If everyone's having a ball,
Would it kill them to give me a call?

Monday in school I asked everyone, "Where did you go?".
I got falsified answers and bullshit excuses like, "I don't know."
What are they hiding and why are all my friends avoiding me?
There's something they're doing when I'm not around. What could it be?
I know what it is.

Birds-eye View 04:05
I have made some bad decisions 

but nothing of your kind.
I get back on my feet again
and leave the past behind

Everybody disregards
the things that I have said.
I wish there was a way for me
to get inside your head.

I can't see the future based on
what you do today.
Though I am no prophet
I think it's safe to say.

That you can't put a perspective
on the person you will be.
All your directives
go as far as you can see.

Is this the way? Is this the path?
Have you been tied down by your fate?

With my birds eye view up in the sky.
I can see the path that I will fly.
With my birds eye view up in the sky.
I know what I must do to stay alive.

What you do tomorrow counts on
what you do today.
Would you try to change your life
If you could find a way?

Your future's past occurs today
So will you have regrets?
Will you remember high school
by some girls and cigarettes?

Everyone is changing
into who they'd like to be.
I never thought that I would change
for anyone but me.

Until I found somebody special,
who I thought could care for me.
But all of her intentions
were a mystery to me.

I thought that this would be the one.
It didn't seem like a mistake.

With my birds eye view up in the sky.
I can see the path that I will fly.
With my birds eye view up in the sky.
I know what I must do to stay alive.

Only One Way 02:09
Everything I've done or said 

Jumps around inside my head.
I try to think of what you mean
With all the little things you say to me.

Though it could be nothing
It means a lot to me.
There is only one way I could know.
There is only one way I could know.

I finally learned that I was wrong.
I learned before it went to long.
Everything's OK and I am fine.
She said that she just needs some time.

I can understand.
She doesn't want a man.
There was only one way I could know.
There was only one way I could know.

Paroxysm 04:04
From the second generation 

I heard your good news.
Did you think I wouldn't notice that you lied to me
about your lonely blues
And the person that you picked makes me know
I can't trust anyone.
If everything is fine with you
it's fine with everyone.

Can you see it in my eyes, should it come as a surprise, that you tell me all these lies, you know I wanted to die.

After the explosion I lost all of my emotion
I sit here resistant and desensitized
Why do your actions leave me paralyzed

In the silence of my mind I found a way
to separate that day, convinced that everything was going fine
But then I thought about the partner in the crime
He went too far this time, So here I draw the line with you
My silence is now broken, my true words will be spoken
You'll finally get what you deserve right now

Birds-eye View Conclusion 01:34
Years ago I had a friend 

But friend he is no more.
Deception broke the chains we made.
With trust we had before.

In a time of circumstance
he took off his disguise
Now I know the path he takes
is covered up with lies.

I can see the future
for his and his to be.
I look down on all of them.
It's easy to believe

That their reasons for affection
take away all my control.
But it isn't your rejection
that will take away your soul.

I know the way, I know the path.
And this will bring you to your end.

With my birds eye view up in the sky.
I can see the path that I will fly.
With my birds eye view up in the sky.
I know what I must do to stay alive.

Snake 05:04
In the funky forest you can hear the snake sneaking all around 

Waiting for the moment when your eyes go to the sky and off the ground

And you don't even know about the things he'll do you.
Thinking everything will be alright.
With no originality he tries to act like you.
But you don't even know that he could bite.

He's a snake.
Watch him as he lies.
He's a snake
Should you be surprised?
He's a snake.
I can see it in his eyes
He's a snake.

Following your footsteps he can see the things that you will try to do.
Thinking of a way that he could take the things you want away from you.

Look into his eyes and see that nothing is sincere.
Why do all your friends turn out this way.
Lying through his teeth he tells you what you want to hear.
Don't believe a word that he will say.

He's a snake.
Watch him as he lies.
He's a snake
Should you be surprised?
He's a snake.
I can see it in his eyes
He's a snake.

Was This A Game? 04:00
I followed you on this dead end street for the longest time. 

I sit here and wonder as the stars align.
From the second generation I hear what you think of me.
But your thoughts are so chaotic I can't tell hate from sympathy.

Lying in the darkness I hear your call from far away.
You've given me confusion while you drag me along and there's a price to pay.
Every time I see you I force myself to turn my head.
Cause' I cannot recover from all the useless things you said.

Was this a game to you, did you plan this all along?
While you were using my emotions, did you know that you were wrong?
You've played your game for long enough, when did you plan to end?
If you're looking for a soul to use, you won't touch mine again.

Can you give me some consideration for what I've done?
I followed you through everything and I'm not the one.
Now I know the evil and destruction that you put me through.
Can you see the state of pain that you brought me to?

Was this a game to you, did you plan this all along?
While you were using my emotions, did you know that you were wrong?
You've played your game for long enough, when did you plan to end?
If you're looking for a soul to use, you won't touch mine again.

(Bridge)
Can you see it in my eyes, should it come as a surprise, that you tell me all these lies, you know I wanted to die.

I looked into your eyes and I saw emptiness.
Did you let them get to you, did you fail the pressure test?
Will you be unhappy when you find someone who's just like you?
Moving on isn't hard so that's just what I'll do.

Was this a game to you, did you plan this all along?
While you were using my emotions, did you know that you were wrong?
You've played your game for long enough, when did you plan to end?
If you're looking for a soul to use, you won't touch mine again.

Alone In My Basement (part 2) 02:32
Sitting alone in a prison created by all my dreams. 

Watching the colors and lights appear on my computer screen.
Each button takes me to places that I've never been before.
I'm happy right here and I don't need anyone anymore.

Who am I fooling I'm just a lonely idiot
Messing around with my computer screen.
I'm giving in to everything they said to me.
It's the most pathetic thing I ever seen.

Telephone rings it's one of them
Trying hard to kick me down again.
Pressure works in ways you cannot recognize.
Hanging with your friends can be a great disguise.
 🠹 

 🠹 
Leave Me Alone 03:50
I hang up the telephone 

I wanna be left alone.
Thinking bout' what you said.
I wish you were more than dead.

I go back onto my bed.
To clear all the thoughts in my head.
I think about how I'd be.
If you had control of me.

Why won't you leave me alone.
I know what you're doing but the choice is my own.
Why won't you give me some space.
Nothing's a secret when you live in this place.

Monday I went to school.
Where nobody knows I'm cool.
I'm tripping on SAT.
It's better than LSD.

They want me to see Mary Jane.
They said she can't hurt my brain.
But then I heard some facts.
From the man behind my back.

Why won't you leave me alone.
I know what you're doing but the choice is my own.
Why won't you give me some space.
Nothing's a secret when you live in this place.

Everyone's the same.
And I can't lose this game.
With my bald eagle sight.
I know that I'm always right.

I won't sell my soul.
I'll never lose control.
But it's to late for you.
To change the things you do.

Why won't you leave me alone.
I know what you're doing but the choice is my own.
Why won't you give me some space.
Nothing's a secret when you live in this place.

One Day 10:04
Now we've come to the end. 

You don't have to pretend.
I cannot remember anybody's face.
You all have been replaced,
And I have made my case to you.

One day I will awaken
In a place I know I wanna be.
On a stage with flashing lights,
Far away from wrong and right,
Then the world will see.

You won't open your mind.
All I asked for is time.
Are you listening to anything I say?
Or did you go away?
But please don't try to stay with me.

One day I will awaken
In a place I know I wanna be.
On a stage with flashing lights,
Far away from wrong and right,
Then the world will see.

One day I will awaken
In a place I know I wanna be.
On a stage with flashing lights,
Far away from wrong and right,
Then the world will see.
