Pushback

ORIGINAL - The Time Is Here
------------------------------
-You’re not willing. I’m not feeling…that way now
-I can only wonder where it went
-It’s so daunting. What you’re flaunting…to stay around
-If you only knew just what it meant

+The time is here, and the race has almost ended
+The place is near. Can you face what you intended?
+Why you cryin? Didn’t you know that this would be?
+Would you go on to sit your seat right next to me?

-Necessary. Yes, it’s scary…to unwind
-When the time has come to let it go
-Don’t be tearful. Though you’re fearful…to face it
-Read the signs you’ve spun to let you know

CHORUS

-Does it matter, what you’re after…you want more
-If you could have changed the way you tried
-Shudda thought more. Couldda fought for…the high road.
-If you wouldn’t have raged and tried to hide.


CHORUS

ORIGINAL (live). "Live Through It"
----------------------------------
-Refine me…don’t define me to replace…..my soul
-Sound shadow…so shallow your mind…..not whole
--Remaining unchanged
--Sustaining estranged

-Break silence…in defiance to embrace…..my peace
-In rebellion…not a hellion I replace…..your beliefs
--Still keeping what’s just
--Not needing your trust

-Not broken…not your token of fear…..survived
-Just fractured…manufactured a smear…..derived
--Didn’t move, not an inch
--Unproved, didn’t flinch
--Lived through it, unmarred
--Slid through it, unscarred

ORIGINAL - You’ll Always Be My Star

-Is it wrong that I miss you‘ll not see me
-Are you strong since you’re destined to be me
-You can’t run away
-Am I so bad because I’m not a good mother
-I’m just a dad who didn’t wish that you’d suffer
-You won’t have to pay

+I can’t pretend that I don’t care
+Not my intent that I failed to treat you fair
+Not what I meant when I said it won’t matter who you are
+To me you’ll always be my star, I pictured before

-Can you forgive and abandon your anger
-Please don’t relive and dampen your answer
-I will wait some more
-Patiently I hope this soon comes to pass us
-Wastefully we’re missing time’s getting past us
-Please don’t close the door

ORIGINAL - Come Up For Air
-----------------------------
-Have you drifted. Are you too deep to see
-As predicted, can’t we both agree
-Found you floating as the ending won’t come
-Always coasting, then we’ll surely both become

--From the place that just won’t keep us there
--Fight to remain
--It’ll pull us down if you don’t do the same

-No longer wondering if we’ve lost this opening day
-I’m treading harder to endure the sucking sound
-I’ll leave my mark here to show where we’ll never have drown

-It’s now going fine, get to shine
-Do my part

ORIGINAL - Headed Straight For Your Hell
-------------------------------------------

-Oddly in the way I posed my question
-Surely you chose to see my transgression
