Chain Of Strength - The One Thing That Still Holds True

1) Impact
i cant believe another year has gone by
and still nothing, as if we dont even try
and theres nothing to be proud of
and nothing you can truly stand by
Its Time To Believe
ive got some things to say
and i cant save those thoughts forever
i want to see a change but you dont feel a thing
i cover you up with words, so nicely said
just to make you sound good
I Want To Believe (2x)
oh, sure people fucking buy it,
but nothing is standing up with time
and if you really want to say something,
were we ever really saying something?
::top::

2) Too Deep Until Now
those days, those fucking days
i know now you never cared about
those days, those fucking days
i know now you never understood
those days will always stay with me
and i, well i wait
maybe its just not coming back
but five years down the line
you wont see me ashamed
of what i once was, and what i still am
those days will always stay with me, and i wait
too deep until now, too deep for words (2x) until now
im not sure of where its taking me
but i have always kept those thoughts
deep inside, deep inside of who i am
never ashamed to face up to, those days
will always stay with me and, i wait
::top::

3) The Space Between
it shouldnt have come to this, yes i know
so now its time to confront
what ive always turned away from
to release whats been held back
its time to reach deep inside
to tear away the truth, the truth inside
im screaming out words
three words that reflect my life
this pain i feel is no fucking act, and it hurts
and if you could feel what i feel
you wouldnt even come close
and i wont let you, let you get the best of me
and i know myself better than anyone
those reflections are looking back
looking back at me
i can see myself, myself
and i cant find you
and only three words come to mind
(true till death)
::top::

4) Through These Eyes
it seems so worthless, it feels so cheap
i always compensate for you
and you turn to glass
so fragile it can break
its breaking but i stay
cause thats not how i see it
through these eyes (2x)
sometimes i feel like letting go
cause the distance between us is so far
i try to find a way to bridge the gap
its far but i still see hope
through these eyes (2x)
i see you there, in the background
blending in without a word
and you, feel so content
so damn content blending in without a word
you feel so content, but i dont!
through these eyes
what do you see through your eyes?
im waiting to hear from you
these eyes will never deny the truth
through these eyes
::top::

5) Hurts To Ask
this quiet panic
yeah, that i feel
its a pain inside
that wont go away
but sometimes, sometimes
it can hit so hard, so hard
its like im the only one
when it comes down
i pretend that im so strong
what could i do?
and just when i think
that the words i hear could mean so much
now here it comes again
i never could quite understand
i never could quite figure it out
how could i sense this desperate tone?
how could it be so intense?
when theres nothing at all
its in my thoughts
its in my mind
its in my soul
and it hurts to ask...
::top::

6) True Till Death
you said it shouldnt be taken too seriously
you said it was just your
personal ideas and opinions
you said it was only meant to relate
directly to your life
what about my life?

has the edge gone dull? (chorus 4x)

well maybe now that youve grown
dull and old
well pick up where you left off
to you it was just music
but to us it was so much more
when we put our heads together
well prove weve got the edge
that can never dull

true till death / has the edge gone dull?
::top::

7) Just How Much
listen up
i just have one thing to say
i wanna talk about, something
that means a fucking lot to me
its a matter of pride,
well its the way i feel
WHEN THERES BETRAYAL
where the fuck is your head man?
just how much did it ever mean to you?
well its my life, its my solid rock, my anchor
the one truth i can believe
committed to myself, and committed to you
its a matter of pride, well its the way i feel
WHEN THERES BETRAYAL
it hurts so bad every time i see that shit
am i the only one left?
my friends tell me i should let it ride
and ill feel stronger inside
yes, im much stronger
::top::

8) There Is A Difference
i shouldve known
you were only human
you can hurt like anyone else
now all i can do is watch you go
look in the mirror and blame myself
i shouldve tried
i shouldve tried a lot harder
but my ego kept us apart
oh no it kept me away
i dont blame you for giving up
i blame myself for giving in
i shouldve known, you were so fragile
you can break, as simple as that
its too late, i dont blame you...
i shouldve tried
i should have known
i should have cared
::top::

9) Never Understand
you changed into something
ill never understand
we still have our times thats true
but the times we once had
ill always keep inside
those days of understanding
how could you be so fucking blind
those days of understanding
why cant you just open your eyes
there was a time in my life where
id look at you and see myself
oh how i wish those days were back
those days are back
::top::

10) Let Down
i just want to believe you so bad but
an earful of promises is all i ever had
your ways have held us back
for so long, so fucking long
the time has come for us to break
that hold that fucking hold
BREAK THAT HOLD
i had trust in you but you let me down
and sold yourself for nothing
its time i take control
listen to what i say because you have
so much to fucking learn about statement, a belief, my true identity
::top::

11) Best Of Times
im willing to give, but you take so much
im willing to try, try to hold it together
my friends and i
weve held it so long
together, my arms are weak
my friends and i
always together and never apart
you always told me, our friendshp would last
or did you forget who you are
and the dreams we once had
what about those times we stayed up late
to talk about everything we believed in
has that all changed now?
those were special times
those were our times
times we thought that nothing
could stand in our way
but you let me down
my friends and i
weve held it so long
together, my arms are weak
my friends and i
always together and never apart
