[Intro] [harmonized distorted electric guitars, fast double-kick drumming] [guitar slide] [Verse 1] [palm-muted guitar riff, driving bass] Okay!! So I want things my way [snare rolls]Listen! To what I have to say It's hard to find words that convey Emotion and expectation [Chorus] [full band intensity, soaring male vocals] So the task before me lies Search for the truth, dig thru the lies [guitar solo begins with wah-wah effect] [Verse 2] [bass-driven rhythm, staccato guitar stabs] And so the task before me lies I wonder how much more must I compromise? I want what I want, you want what you want There's really no disguise Written in truth, or tainted in lies I wonder how much more, must I compromise? Well, let's go! [Choppy breaks with tasty guitar solo fills] [speeds up as voices scream] [Verse 3] Okay! So times have got to change. Listen! To what I have to play I think it's time to rearrange Devotion and expectation [Chorus] So the task before me lies Under your sheets, behind your eyes So the path before me lies, before me lies... [Verse4] Before me lies the answer to the questions dumb and wise Written in truth, or painted in lies I want what you want It's time to realize! [Outro] [technical guitar solo with tapping and rapid scale runs] [drum fill] [final sustained power chord]
