	Live clip of "This Is Not The Way It Is Supposed To Be" recorded on 3/28/02 at The Lido in San Jose. The song is a layered, fast song, ranging from a hard riff to melodic arpeggio, bouncing snares to a driving kick.
	Credits: Words by Mike Chen, Music by Eric Scharer
	Story Behind the Song Lyrically, the song was written as a response to U2's "Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of." Bono of U2 had written the song for the late Michael Hutchence of INXS. Mike Chen, a big fan of both groups, saw an interview with Bono where he said that he felt bad because Hutchence didn't get a chance to respond. Feeling inspired, Mike wrote a hypothetical response for one of his biggest musical influences. Lyrics You may not be afraid Of the lies of this world Your shield is thicker than mine I let in what they threw Ten minutes is what you asked A thousand years in my eyes Yes there's something in the way They sneak in when hands are tied Do you want me to say I'm sorry? I'm sorry I can't explain it all (Chorus) I can't say how time has run Bubbling over and spilling on I can't say why I sat on the sun Or if what happened was wrong This is not the way it is supposed to be This is not what I wanted to see You know well enough what they've done to me This is not the way it is supposed to be Here it is he speaks for me My old friend or one I touched A voice in his head a need to say Though you know he won't feel as much I know when you sang to them The weary wash I bring tonight One regret one thing left The only thing I can't bring light Do you want me to say I'm sorry? I'm sorry I can't explain it all (Chorus) My fire will burn forever My thoughts here will last I am joined by the one who caused The one regret from my past Yes I'm stuck here in my moment It's something you can't push me through I heard those words you said They weren't there when time left my side (Chorus)
