Counterpoints Lyrics


Overplayed and understated

Maximized and underrated

Overdrawn and overstated

What about the truth -what about it?

Minimized, overemphasized

Exaggerated just to dramatize

There's a whole lot more than fame here

And a whole lot more to money

Ok, I've made my point now speak up

Let's hear what you have to say

Just give it to me hard - give it to me straight

Tell me I'm wrong about everything

Overblown and sinking fast

Underfoot and overcast

Make a future with the past

What am I to do -what about it?

Overgrown, contemplated

Overloaded, captivated

In a deadly serious game

With a healthy dose of overkill

Whoever said the best things are free

Wasn't around -That never made sense to me

-'Cause after living…

In a way, I'd have to say nothing ever came cheap

So that just can't be…

I am not the only one that lost it

Some things just have to be said

Now I'd like to make it up to you

Pick up the pieces…if you'll let me

Ok, I've made my point now speak up

Let's hear what you have to say

Just give it to me hard - give it to me straight

Tell me I'm wrong about everything…

No time for introductions -no time at all

Listen…

Undermanned and overcharged

Understood and over farmed

Under where? Undertaker.

-Bet he knows the truth, he'll tell you

"Underground, underhanded

Only so much time is granted"

I never said that I had the answers

I never said I knew the truth

But I know if you're gonna die

You might as well - you might as well

Really try and live

Well, maybe that's all there is to it.

Whoever said the best things are free

Wasn't around -That never made sense to me

-'Cause after living…

In a way, I'd have to say nothing ever came cheap

So that just can't be…

I am not the only one that lost it

Some things just have to be said

Now I'd like to make it up to you

Pick up the pieces…if you'll let me

Ok, I've made my point now speak up

Let's hear what you have to say

Just give it to me hard - give it to me straight

Tell me I'm wrong…

I am not the only one that lost it

Some things just have to be said

Now I'd like to make it up to you

Pick up the pieces…if you'll let me try.

How can we replace what we had at home?

Fame will not love you the way I do…

When it's gone.
