reminiscing........
 

Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down
I cry for help, no one's around.
Silently screaming as I bang my head against the wall
It seems like no one cares at all.

Always an emotion,
But how can I explain
Kind of like the scent of a rose,
With words you can't explain,
The same with my pain.
Caught up in emotion,
Goes over my head
Sometimes I got to think to myself,
Is this life or death,
Am I living or am I dead?

The clock keeps ticking,
But nothing else seems to change
Problems never solved just rearranged.
And then I think about all the times that I've had
Some were good, most were bad.

I search for personality
And I look for things I cannot see.
Love and peace flash through my mind,
Pain and hate is all I find.
Find no hope in nothing new,
And I never had a dream come true.
Lies and hate and agony
Through my eyes it's all I see.

If I'm gonna cry - Will you wipe away my tears?
If I’m gonna die - Lord please take away my fear.
Before I drown in sorrow -Well I just wanna say...
How will I laugh tomorrow, When I can't even smile today?
Today today, today.
When I can't even smile today
How will I laugh tomorrow
When I can't even smile today?

(Original version)
**[NOTE: shorter edit versions/official video, in reply/3rd post]**

So when I look outside my room,
I see the world but not the reason.

What it’s done to me's not fair,
You call it fate, I call it treason.
But I know not what to do,
Give me a sign I’ll take whatever.
But if you want me, here I am.
Ain't gonna cry forever.

And I tried to hold ya - But you just turned away.
And I tried to tell ya - But not a word I say.
I cried, "I’m so lonely." - But you just covered your ears.
I gave you all the signs - But you ignored my tears.

So if you want me, Here I am
I sit here waiting for your decision.
But my body fights my mind
They're heading straight for a collision.
So what am I gonna do
If I'm still looking in all the wrong places?
But the only thing that seems to change,
Are the looks on their faces....

Doesn't anyone...?
Seems like no one cares at all.
I search for personality
And I look for things I cannot see.
(Does anyone even care at all?)
Love and peace flash through my mind
Pain and hate is all I find.
(Seems like care at all.)
Find no hope in nothing new,
And I never had a dream come true.
(Does anyone even care at all?)
Lies and hate and agony -
Through my eyes it's all I see.
(No one cares at all.)

How will I laugh tomorrow..............
..........When I can't smile today

'Nobody Hears'

I talk through my eyes, the words pourin' down
You ask me what's wrong, but what can I say

I try to tell you, I try to show you
How else could I tell you, how else can I show you

I'm screaming inside, why can't you hear
You're looking right though me like I'm not here

(Official Video)


When the last tear falls down
Nothing gets washed away
Another plea put to rest
As nobody hears, nobody hears

So what did I do to you
That makes you run from me
Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself
Don't understand why nobody hears

You figured it, shaped it to your perfection
Subtracted my feelings from the equation


Is it all in my mind
Then it would be easy to find

When the last tear falls down
Nothing gets washed away
Another plea put to rest
As nobody hears, nobody hears

So what did I do to you
That makes you run from me
Now I'm sitting here screaming inside myself
Don't understand why nobody hears

So if it's all, if it's all in my mind
Then wouldn't it, wouldn't it
Wouldn't it be so easy to find

When the last tear falls down
Nothing gets washed away
Another plea put to rest
As nobody hears, nobody hears

Yes, that's the 'A Perfect Circle' symbol(or whatever it's called). APC just recently released the dates for a 2011 Spring/Summer tour, and they changed their website a little bit. aperfectcircle.com...

That is kind of odd, for you to just post that yesterday. I haven't really listened to ST for awhile. I honestly wasn't expecting anyone who saw this thread, to even know who they are, but I needed to get my fix of it. I looked through a couple of your comments (but not too many), trying to see what type of situation it was that called for the addition of Institutionalized into the debate lol.Or if it was just a music thread. My first thought to that, was that maybe you were trying to tell someone they're nuts.

LOL essentially. let me find it. it was in the thread with the 12yr old kid math wiz. everyone thinks is a genius. he is smart and has a disorder that forces him to fucus its not that impressive and its math that anyone could learn given the time and effort.

I only posted some of the lyrics I didn't want the post to get removed because of a vid that wasnt on topic or something.

I love all music but punk rock is a genre that not many artist can touch. and suicidal man they DO IT.

Wow.. I just realized how emo I was as an 80s kid. I loved this song. On the other hand I thought "Waking the Dead" was the most bad-a$$ song ever. Woo, gotta go listen to it now. I hope it's still as good as I remember...

Lol. I suppose I was emo too.
Good thing that term wasn't around back then (well, at least I never heard it).
If I had heard that term, I probably wouldn't of been.

That statement reminded me of something. I have around 600 or 700 CD's (I think). They are not organized too good now, but I used to have them organized in several CD storage cabinets. They basically covered a large section of the wall.

About 5 or 6 years ago, I said this to a friend who is/was a huge Punk fan. "Other than 'I Wanna Be Sedated,' I don't think there are hardly any punk songs that I actually like." He replied, "Dude, WTF are you talking about? Do you actually have so many CDs over there that you don't remember what you have?" I said, "No. name one and I will tell you exactly where it is without even going over there. He said, "Where are your Misfits CDs?" I told him, but also said, "I bought those used at a yard sale. $5 for a couple Danzig CD's and 3 Misfit CD's. I don't particularly like anything on those Misfit CDs." He said, "Ok. fair enough. Now tell me where all of your Suicidal Tendencies CD's are?"

Until that exact moment, I never realized that ST was a Punk band lol.

This is one of my favorites-
'I Want More'


'I shot Reagan' AKA 'I Shot The Devil'
"Rot in Heaven, cause you're forgiven in Hell."


'Suicidal Failure'

I didn't realize I had repeated 'I Want More' in the previous comment, but apparently my digital clock reading ability is flawed.

What I see- I posted it less than 3 hours ago.
What I am told when I try to edit- You have exceeded the maximum window of 4 hours allowed to edit your post.

So I guess it has to stay.


nevermind

Thanks for reminding me it was here. It's been awhile since I've listened to these.
I needed my fix, and now seems like a good time for it.
