Not The Same Anymore
I’m so sick of reachin’ out to find there’s no one reachin’ back!
I’m so sick of bein’ told “that’s not the proper way to act”!
When some people get a taste they’re gonna suck you dry
They’ll feed on your compassion and they’ll watch you die!
You see what someone’s made of during times like these
They’re so selfish, they’re so callous – shit you can’t believe!
When sadness becomes anger and emotions swell
Makes me sick to think a “fuck” like you’s alive and well!
You wanna hate me?
Well, go ahead!
You make lies
From what I said
You wanna hurt me?
Well, go ahead!
You’re too late!
This man is dead!
What you see isn’t always real
How do you feel?
When you look in your own eyes
And you finally realize
That the person looking back
Is looking through....
You finally recognize
What’s behind those familiar eyes
Has changed in so many ways
That you’re just not the same anymore
They tell a little boy, “you know, you’d better not cry...
Just hide away your feelings – keep them locked inside”
Why would you wanna show somebody that you care
When it’s such a rush to turn away and pretend you’re not there!
Some people live a life like it’s a masquerade
With they’re painted on smiles like puppets on parade
I try to drink away the pain and try to wash it all down
But every bottle says the same “you’re too lost to be found!”
Dear God
I gotta say
That I never
Drop and pray
But the way
I feel today
I can feel
I’m not the same!
What you feel isn’t always real
What do you see?
As you run your hand across your face
The skin still feels the same
But the touch has grown so cold
A chill runs through...
You feel the blood rush through your veins
And you push yourself away
When they call that familiar name
It’s just not the same anymore
Sometimes in your life
Something may come along
That will change who you are
Change who you’re gonna be
You’ll lay your head down at night
Thinking everything is right
Then you wake and find a world
That’s just not the same anymore
You’re eyes have changed in so many ways...
You’re just not the same!
When they call that familiar name...
It’s just not the same!
You wake and find a world...
That’s just not the same!
It’s so hard to sympathize...
Cos you’re just not the same!
No, you’re not the same!
When I lay me
Down to sleep
I pray the Lord
My soul to keep
I hope I die
Before I wake
Cause I know
I’m not the same!
What you see isn’t always real!
How do you feel?
For so long you’d give and never take
And just lock the pain away
You feel a hardening inside
It runs right through...
You watch the world go by
That you see with different eyes
It’s so hard to sympathize
Cause you’re just not the same anymore!
