Open Your Eyes (03:54)

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 overhead
A crackhead asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and cries

Chorus:
What would you do (What would you do)
if it was you (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
And most of you don't give a shit
That your daughters are porno stars
And your sons sell death to kids
So lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you'll never fix

Chorus:
What would you do (What would you do)
if it was you (if it was you)
Would you take everything
For granted like you do

You turn away (x4)

As I walk along the streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxicabs
I hear the streets cry out in vain

Chorus:
What would you do (What would you do)
if it was you (if it was you)
Would you take everything
For granted like you do (x2)

Pressure (03:24)

Staind • Break the Cycle

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

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

If you need me I'll be here
Half unconscious, 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

Chorus:
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

Chorus:
Can't see through this
Too much pressure
Drowning in this
Too much pressure (2x)

Il tuo voto:

Fade (04:03)

Staind • Break the Cycle

I try to breathe
Memories overtaking me
I try to face them but
The thought is too
Much to concieve

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 too
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 too
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

But I never meant to fade..away
I never meant to fade..away

I just needed
Someone to talk to
You were just too
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..

Il tuo voto:

It's Been Awhile (04:28)

Staind • Break the Cycle

It's been a while
Since I could
Hold my head up high
And It's been a while
Since I First saw you
And It's been a while
Since I could stand
on my own two feet again
And it's been a while
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 stretched myself beyond my means

And It's been a while
Since I can say
That I wasn't addicted and
It's been a while
Since I can say
I love myself as well and
It's been a while
Since I've gone
And fucked things up
Just like I always do
and it's been a while
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'm 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 a while
Since I said I'm sorry
And it's been a while
Since I've seen the way
the candles light your face
And it's been a while
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 a while
Since I could
Hold my head up high
And it's been awhile
Since I said I'm sorry

Il tuo voto:

Change (03:36)

Staind • Break the Cycle

If ever you had said to me before
That I would lead this life
That I am living now I guess it's all so strange
To feel the way I do inside and
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

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

(screams)

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

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

Again..

Il tuo voto:

Can't Believe (02:50)

Staind • Break the Cycle

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

I can't believe
Can't believe (x2)

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

I can't believe
Can't believe (x2)

Never again, trusted in you
Fuck everything that you think I should be
I stand.
Never again, never again

I can't believe
Can't believe (x4)

Il tuo voto:

Epiphany (04:18)

Staind • Break the Cycle

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

Oh
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Oh
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles
'Cause 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 wanna come apart
Or dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart

Oh
'Cause it's always raining in my head
Oh
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside
That cries out for attention
Yet 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 it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said

Il tuo voto:

Suffer (04:01)

Staind • Break the Cycle

Suffer x3

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 are programmed to feel this way
To live another day
Within a world that longs to suffer
(Suffer)

And then i come to find
And everything's ok
Seen this all before
But that was yesterday
Try to walk right through
The messes that i have made
Just let me enjoy
The life here that i live

I try to give this all to you
Can't take anymore to deal with this
It hurts inside
I know why i hide
Cause i suffer
(Suffer)

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

And then i come to find
And everything's ok
Seen this all before
But that was yesterday
Try to make it through
The messes that i have made
So i can enjoy
The life here that i made

And then i come to find..

And then i come to find
And eveything's ok
Seen this all before
But that was yesterday
Try to walk right through
These messes that i have made
Just try to enjoy
This life here that i have

Il tuo voto:

Warm Safe Place (04:35)

Staind • Break the Cycle

Another day inside my world
I'm married to you and this road
A road that never lets me sleep
There's no way to escape these demons
I am forced to keep

Chorus:
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 seemed to do is shout

Chorus:
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
Alone for now

And I try to sleep
The drugs I take
Are killing me
I think of you
To ease my pain
But you're so far

And now it's time to say goodbye,
I love you baby, please don't cry..

Chorus:
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
Alone for now

Il tuo voto:

For You (03:28)

Staind • Break the Cycle

Il tuo voto:

Outside (04:54)

Staind • Break the Cycle

And you
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 you're 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
Its 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
And I waste more time than anyone

But I'm on the outside
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
I 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 okay

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

Il tuo voto:

Waste (03:56)

Staind • Break the Cycle

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 that
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 had failed
I'd fucked up
I've had plans
Doesn't mean I should take my life with my own hands

But these words, they can't replace
The life you
The life you waste

But these words, they don't replace
The life you
The life you waste.

Il tuo voto:

Take It (03:33)

Staind • Break the Cycle

Il tuo voto:

Painful (03:30)

Staind • Break the Cycle

I light another cigarette
Stop to think about it
Come to no conclusions
Take each step as it comes
Hold no prisoners 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

Il tuo voto:

Self Destruct (03:36)

Staind • Break the Cycle

Watch me suffer
You'll feel better
Stick the needle in my veins
Lost my feelings with my dealing
Thoughts of only you remain

Fuck(x8)

Rip and tear
In my despair
Agonizing over shit
Feel the needle burn and tingle
My bad habits deal with it

Chorus:
Fuck(x8)
I will self destruct (x4)

My light has slowly faded
Broken and degraded
Suffocate in my sorrow
Mabye I'll die tomorrow
This riot that I've sited
Came to you uninvited
Truth hurts when it's in your face
Are you afraid of it?

I will self destruct (x4)

I Think I'm gonna, think I'm gonna - I will self destruct
I Think I'm gonna, think I'm gonna - I will self destruct
I Think I'm gonna, think I'm gonna - I will self destruct
I Think I'm gonna, think I'm gonna - SNAP

I self destruct my mind
I self destruct my world
I self destruct my life (x6)

Il tuo voto:

Afraid to Be Alone (04:07)

Staind • Break the Cycle

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

Il tuo voto:

Just Go (04:50)

Staind • Break the Cycle

I'm kinda numb
It's so distorted
You left me here with
This damage that you caused
My tortured faces
Those fucked up places
In my memories
None of them I've lost
But

Chorus:
I haven't been here long enough to know
Every time 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

Chorus:
I haven't been here long enough to know
Every time 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 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

Chorus:
I haven't been here long enough to know
Every time 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

With these fucking lies
All these fucking Lies

Il tuo voto:

Crawl (04:31)

Staind • Break the Cycle

I'm so lonely
You're so beautiful
Not the only
One that's pitiful
Stretched and torn, I lay here in pieces
Craving all of your deadly vices
'd 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 that 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 (x6)

And I crawl
while you spit
And I crawl through

Il tuo voto:

Suffocate (03:57)

Staind • Break the Cycle

I feel nothing
Longing for something
(Relax a minute, take your clothes off
Show me what you're made of)
Just 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)
Just 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'll suffocate

Please believe
You'll save me, rearrange me
I can feel
Your feelings running through me
Take away
My sorrow, my tomorrow
Cradle me

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

I'm suffocating

Suffocate
(I'm suffocating)
Suffocate
(I'm suffocating)
Suffocate
(I'm suffocating)
Suffocate
(I'm suffocating)
Suffocate
(I'm suffocating)

Il tuo voto:

Nameless (03:26)

Staind • Break the Cycle

Cant you see i fuckin hate me X4

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 on myself, for my own health
To just say no
I'm fucked up
Distorted
Dysfunctional
and drained
All of my deep rooted
Fears seem to get
The best of me

I feel
USELESS
Jaded
Nameless

I hate the way you fucked with (ME.
YOU) can't rely on open eyes to (SEE.
YOU) force these painful visions from my (HEAD.
YOU) won't be happy till I break down

I feel
USELESS
Jaded
Nameless

Cant you see (NAMELESS) i fuckin hate me (NAMELESS) X4
