Where Are You Now?

you do everything right for all the wrong reasons
and you use all the tricks of the trade
From the tip of your toes to the tip of your tongue
you've carefully planned your crusade
It's all surface no substance, all payed in advance
but you're the one paying the price
and the only thing left will be a hole in your pocket
when everyone else gets their slice/has been given their slice

where are you now, what have you done
what have you got left, what have you become
you had the world in your hands but it slipped through
your fingers and now look at what you've become

The masterplan wasn't yours you were just the excuse
To squeeze out some juice from the fruit
and nobody cares about your personal life
all you are is the latest recruit
the sweet smell of success has a foul aftertaste
and when you've lost your place in the sun
what you won't do for you love you just do for money
so you'd best take the money you can and then run

where are you now, what have you done
you had the world in your hands but it slipped through
your fingers and now look at what you've become
where are you now, what have you done
what have you got left, what have you become

there are no rules in the book that apply to the game
the truth comes like a slap in the face
And the next runner up gets a moment to shine
in the spotlight once you've lost your place
keep on wearing that suit for as long as it fits
and pretend that it's not wearing you
and while your busy being somebody you're not
you're much better off not even having a clue

Point Of No Return

i've got my back against the wall, my face against your fist
my brain confronts my feelings as my stomache starts to twist
adrenaline is pumping and my head is one big mess
as i try to come to terms with my own anger and distress
that's when the first blow hits me and my head goes flying back
it bangs against the concrete and i hear when my bones crack
i raise my hands to gaurd my face cos' i'm too scared to run
i try to scream out in despair and that's when next blow comes

the second time you hit me, the pain just disappears
and all i feel is my frustration as my motivation clears
there's no way i'm gonna let you bring me down without a fight
and so i raise my arms up and i clench my fingers tight
the first time that i hit you your eyes look so suprised
you didn't think i had it in me, you just stand there paralyzed
i'm not gonna be your victim and it's time for you to learn
and so i turn my feelings off and then i'm at the point of no return

i know that there's no turning back from here,
there aren't any bridges left to burn
so instead i do the opposite of everything i've ever learned,
i'm at the point of no return

the second time i hit you, i know your going down
i can see your body shaking as you fall towards the ground
you try to keep your balance and you try to stand up straight
but when the blood runs down your face you know that it's too late
you know i'm gonna hit you with one third and final blow
and i don't even fucking care if i can sink this low
cos' there isn't any logic when the anger starts to burn
and with your back against the wall, you stand there at the point of no return
