Chapter V lyrics

Title : Cross To Bear
-----------------

Twisting
Turning
Crashing
Burning
All This...Just To...Break Me...Down...

You Don't Know Me
You Don't See Me
You Don't Own Me, 'Cause I Don't Care
But I'm Still Here
Patiently Waiting For You To Disappear
Is This My Cross To Bear?

Faceless
Faking
Pushing
Taking
All This...Just To...Bring Me...Down...

You Don't Know Me

She sits alone again and tries her best not to pretend that all she used to live for was the love that wasn't there
And every time she needs to do the things that she believes will fill the void
inside of her cuz he was never there

And she said
I swear I'm not the devil
Though you think I am?
I swear I'm not the devil
And she said
I swear I'm not the devil
Though you think I am?

If you just walked away
What could I really say?
Would it matter anyway?
Would it change how you feel?

'Cause I am the mess you chose
The closet you cannot close
The devil in you I suppose
'Cause the wounds never heal

But everything changes, if I could
Turn back the years, if you could
Learn to forgive me, then I could
Learn to feel

Sometimes the things I say

You in your shell
Are you waiting for someone to rescue you, from yourself?
Dont be disappointed when no one comes

Dont blame me, you didnt get it
Dont blame me, you didnt get it
Dont blame me, you didnt get it
I already told you that

Falling is easy, its getting back up that becomes the problem
Becomes the problem
If you dont believe you can find a way out
You become the problem

Title : King of all Excuses
-----------------
You..
I trusted your intentions
A trust you took advantage of
Now you, are setting in the hole that you dug around yourself

You lied so much you think its true
Do you know what the truth is?
How does someone get to be like you?
The King of all excuses

Is she, your partner in deception?

You take this all for granted
All the things they choose to feed you
By keeping you distracted
Just long enough to bleed you...dry

A reason for your anger
It's what I need
It's what I need
To recognize the truth
It's what I need
It's what I need
So burn your paper Jesus
It's what I need
It's what I need
And own the things you do
It's what I need
It's what I need

Can't you see that I'm sick of this?
Chances are you're oblivious to how I feel
Sitting on your throne, and I'm sure that I'm not alone,
Not alone, not alone.

Tell me please,
Who the fuck did you want me to be?
Was it something that I couldn't see?
Never knew this would be so political.
And please, I'm still wearing this miserable skin
And it's starting to tear from within

I've seen too many sad eyes look at me,
The eyes that set me free,
All the places that I've been.

So thank you for the letters that you thought you wrote in vain
And for the times you chose to stand out in the rain and wait for me,
For me.

Your words,
Your words help me to see
A little honesty
In a world that doesn't share
And your eyes
Tell the story of your pain
Severity of your disdain

I know Ive been mistaken
But just give me a break
And see the changes that Ive made
Ive 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
If you chose to walk away
Id still be right here waiting
Searching for the things to say

I'm still scared. Afraid of failing
Anticipating, the ride to end.
before the wheels begin to move.

(Run away) So I can hide.
(Run away) I've mastered feeling nothing.
(Run away) I'm dead inside.
(Run away) Why don't I care?

Waste my time, commiserating,
Self medicating - it's my design
Although I know you don't approve

(Run away) So I can hide.

Are you afraid, afraid of the truth
In the mirror staring back at you.
The image is cracked but so is the view, yeah.
The strength of a tree begins in the roots
That are tender buried into you
At least now the storm can't blow me away.

So crawl inside my head with me.
I'll show you how it feels to be,
To blame like me.

Should I be afraid of this face that I see
In the mirror staring back at me?

I can't believe how far I've gone
Watch me stumble and come undone
If you take away, these memories
All that's left, is just me

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't want this
and I don't need this
and I don't feel this
It seems that even though she's with me I can't shake this
I can't fake this
and I won't take this anymore

So you choose, to break my heart
Should have seen this from the start
