lyrics

a) AGREE TO DISAGREE:

Let's take a good look in the mirror
Will my reflection break the glass
Do you feel the breakdown drawing nearer
Do you feel yourself losing your grasp
So who's this stranger staring back
Like he sees through? (It's not me)
Back where I started and
It's all because of you (and not me)

And when my ugly side came calling
All I could do was run and hide
But my return would soon come stalling
God, how I love that ugly side
I've been much better since
I shed that demon seed (it's not me)
And now I've come to terms with
Who I'm supposed to be (it's not me)

Let's just agree to disagree
Blind will consumes the energy
True, nothing's made to last
And oh, will this be the living end of me?
And I don't need your charity
Blind faith exhumes the clarity
Time's catching up so fast
And I wouldn't wish it on me worst enemy

b) THE ONLY INSTIGATOR:

Has it rained upon your ordinary ways
The past has come and gone
But oh, the guilt it stays
Lost in time, all the colors turn to gray
So I'll keep searching for
The path to better days
Look close, I'm seeing through new eyes
And I'm cutting my loose ties
Please understand that I...

Never wanted to be the only instigator
Only wanted to say what's on my mind
Never knew you were such an apt manipulator
Never knew you were the hurting kind

Have you kept your inner darkness deep at bay
The way the lights went out,
I'd swear it's gone astray
Now you're asking how could I forget a face
And has it rained upon your ordinary ways
Run fast, cuz now it's my time
And I changed up the rhyme
Please understand that I...

c) THINK BEFORE I SPEAK:

Never wanted to be the only instigator
Only wanted to say what's on my mind
But then I lost the connection, hello operator
How dare you disconnect my line

I've never seen this side of me
And now I truly know just who I am
My hands are shanking and my knees are weak
I failed the apology
And now it seems I need a backup plan
So, next time I'll think before I speak

Never wanted to lose my sense of indignation
Only want to play the victim now
But then I lost the intention in my sad elation
And then I took the coward's way out

So, take your first steps towards the path
And we will all dance around in the aftermath
You lost your luck among the stars
We'll never call you one of ours
So, find out how to cope with that

NEXT TIME I'LL THINK BEFORE I SPEAK
NEXT TIME I'LL THINK BEFORE I SPEAK
NEXT TIME I'LL THINK BEFORE I SPEAK
NEXT TIME I'LL THINK BEFORE I SPEAK
