Vent
(2002)

The long dark hallway is never ending
Damp cold, mist filled tiles crack from the pressure of my lead
Some day's I fall through holes in the floor
Strugglin to get up, No lending hands to free me
One big soap opera, your life is so demanding

You feel it don't ya, Don't lie, Can't close your mind
Explode my heart n guts for all to see
Chaotic reality of a world in no-mans land
I walk with head held high, why not... 0wn it
Ironic I'm lookin in the mirror, as life turns to shit
I've owned this reality, I smashed this impossibility
The Wall around me is to damn thick
Your addin bricks, and hate is a issue I try to deny
Evil runs through your veins, pouring over the light in her life

Like a crash site, our lives.. just stop and stare
Runnin my head through barriers just to make you see
The screaming voice in your head is telling you
Just keep destroyin all you come across
Selfish bitch, never helped, never understood, never cared

Daddy's gone in both worlds, You knew... Why did you?
My life tryin not to be like him, Placed in his shoes
No chance I had at standin tall, Collapsed on a rainy night
Tears dripped down my face, How could you.. replace
Blood is bond, one day it will be as it should
Your games are weak, your names' a joke
Just remember...What did you actually provoke

Can't deal with another expert on how life suppose to be
Never good enough to get a break, Doctor Doctor what's goin on
Open your eyes, or are you to blind to catch the glimpse
Nightmares for years, Out of my mind you tell your crew
Too bad its only trash and half-truths you can spew

The truth you deny, the justice you defy
Yours be comin, run high, run low
The past will pull you in its undertow

Two sides to all of life's stories, Which do you stand by?
What's going on in her mind though? brainwashed till I'm gone
Others told me well ahead of time, Why couldn't i see it myself
Thoughts of just ending it all, useless, cowardice ideas
Learned, self taught keep yourself around for what one day will be

If you feel tired, and give it all away, you lose all you are
Fight the beating rains, the shear force of the wind called life
Stand up, be counted and take your shots, and shout 'em back
Otherwise you'll change nothing, and never vent your fears and angers
