On the Edge
It's getting so I can't sleep at night
Don't know why but it scares me to death
I lie in the dark and try to close my eyes
All I hear is my heart and my breath
Sometimes a glow it surrounds me
I can only see it only seconds at a time
Don't know what it is but it knows me
Is it real or in my mind
I don't talk to people anymore
Just look at me they'll never understand
The things I say make perfect sense to me
And to the voices in my head
Don't let the world envelope me
I need my space, I need to feel the air
I just want to find my own place
Lock it away and never take you there
On the edge
I am
On the edge
Indifference and extremes lie everywhere
Just when I think I've got it it disappears
Sometimes a man knows everything
But not enough to save him from his own fears
When I call out no one hears
I say a prayer almost every night
I'm still waiting for the last miracle
Maybe there's still time to get it right
On the edge
I am
On the edge
Rest
Bury me with white roses on my grave
One dozen picture perfect no mistakes
It's been a long time coming but a short ride
Not to worry we'll meet again on the other side
You're in a hurry cause you've been held up
But take your time you shouldn't rush
Things will work themselves out for the best
Sit down and wash away close your eyes and rest
Study the faces
Drift away to places
Take yourself on a ride
And rest awhile
Sing my praises with an old forgotten song
Tell all those stories that we both thought were gone
Laugh at all the things no one will understand
Picture your fingers tracing the side of my hand
Study the faces
Drift away to places
Take yourself on a ride
And rest awhile
You're in a hurry cause you've been held up
But take your time you shouldn't rush
Things will work themselves out for the best
Sit down and wash away close your eyes and rest
Study the faces
Drift away to places
Take yourself on a ride
And rest awhile
I'm sayin' - Study the faces
Drift away to places
Take yourself on a ride
And rest awhile

Boilermaker
It's getting hot in here
Sweats running down my neck
Well I'm getting out of here
And I'm not coming back
Tonight is when it all goes down
Then they'll be no turning back
Don't look for me I won't be found
And I'm not coming back no
Blood is starting to boil
My blood is starting to boil yeah
Boilermaker
I Feel like I've been burned alive
Something set my soul on fire
With the flames come the scars
With the ashes come the funeral pyre
Blood is starting to boil
My blood is starting to boil yeah
Boilermaker
It's getting hot in here
Sweat's running down my neck
Well I'm getting out of here

Boilermaker
Blown Away
Some fall asleep and never wake up
Does it make any difference if their time has come
Some fall asleep and never wake up
Does it make any difference if their time has come
To be here right now is what matters most
Leave it till tomorrow, tell 'em I told you so
I'm not surprised
I'm just blown away
I haven't said a word
Still you understand what I say
Every single memory you have is almost gone
Yet you still forget about them one by one
Lost and found and lost again
Some want to tie them down and lock them up like an old friend
I'm not surprised
I'm just blown away
I haven't said a word
Still you understand what I say
You don't even know what my name is
You don't even care where I'm from
But when you need me I'm the one
That's when I stare straight into the sun, ah into the sun yeah
Some fall asleep and never wake up
Does it make any difference if their time has come
Fifty thousand people all look the same
All walking and talking and doing nothing good
Too many times before and many times again
This is the time I wish I was sure
I'm not surprised
I'm just blown away
I haven't said a word
Still you understand what I say
Evolution
Life from nothing
Eternally growing
Drifting and sliding
Back into the ooze
Primal instincts
Twisting and tearing
Bound by the thread
That we're born into
Riding the spiral
Colors are changing
Bands that define
Just who we are
Now there's no turning
Time is still running
Closing your eyes
Shooting the stars
Here I come now, back into you
I was born you escaped
Evolution through mental illness
The life you're given is it chance or mistake
Concentration
Hesitation
Defining moment
When you awake
Incandescent
Hidden reflection
Wishes are spoken
But failures are made
Silently screaming
Selfishly healing
One from another
And back to the one
Always a chance that
Somewhere it's living
Always a chance that
Somewhere there's none
Here I come now, back into you
I was born you escaped
Evolution through mental illness
The life you're given is it chance or mistake - Evolution!
Barebones
Black and blue I've been beat again

Yeah yeah
Another year one more eternity
Another fear you won't conquer me

Barebones

Yeah yeah
Give a bit then you can take a lot

Yeah yeah

Too much mess God's not keeping up
Out of time your angels moving on
Yeah yeah
Listen up I won't say it twice
Down the street things ain't feeling right
Follow me before our time is gone
Yeah yeah
See the stars in the sky
See the wheels they run by
Barebones
See the lights in my eyes
See the flame as it dies
Barebones
Don't Need it
Laugh at the night shout into the sky
Bad things are coming don't make any difference why
Seven times forever, forever times a day
Heard the angels talking but I didn't have a lot to say
I don't need it anymore, please make it go away
I don't want it anymore, no matter what I say
Feel the shiver take you, cold sweat on your neck
Don't look in my eyes, it might make you sick
Tomorrow's forgiven, given up on today
The angels might give it to you, or the angels might take it away
I don't want it anymore, please make it go away
I don't need it anymore, no matter what I say
Laugh at the night shout into the sky
Bad things are coming don't make any difference why
Seven times forever, forever times a day
I Heard the angels talking but I didn't have a lot to say
I don't need it anymore, please make it go away
I don't want it anymore, no matter what I say
Generation Pain
Well I have wounds that never heal
Dust to dust is all that's real
Another mask to hide behind
Aggravation is my state of mind
Sun come up and sun go down
Dirty world keeps a spinning round
Nothing lost means nothings gained
Come on down to the sleaze parade
Generation - Generation Pain
Man or machine it's an unfair bet
Grinding gears rule a cool head
Some want to go but can't wait to leave
Some want to stay but not with me
Generation - Generation Pain
Evil minds that manipulate
Talkin' shit until it's too late
Better off to keep 'em down, keep 'em closed
Let your heart not your head tell you where to go
Generation - Generation Pain
Back to Black
You wanted yesterday, now you ask for today
From the cold hands of death you never turn away
Don't come any closer, just place your trust in me
Stay where you are now, this is nothing you should see
Back to black I take you
Back to black we go
From the cold dark of the morning
To the raging fires that glow
Back to black
Young life ever changing, with eyes that burn
Somewhere you've been forsaken and you've had to learn
Secrets that belong to those who have the right
The veil of light was lifted, and in came all the night
Back to black I take you
Back to black we go
From the cold dark of the morning
To the raging fires that glow
Back to black
As I stand here now, before you all
Truth or fiction, hidden addictions, I give the call
Cast aside your distant dreaming, that's where fear is born
It's time to face the moment, the bloods upon the thorns
Back to black I take you
Back to black we go
From the cold dark of the morning
To the raging fires that glow
Back to black
Illusions of Power
You thought you gave me all that I need
Thought I depended on you
I broke your chains and now I'm free
You're gonna see just what I can do
Controlling - Illusions of Power
All knowing - Illusions of Power
Defeating - Illusions of Power
Never succeeding
The stars have alligned for me on this night
It's time to take back what is mine
No longer will you hold me down
Finally free after all this time
Controlling - Illusions of Power
All knowing - Illusions of Power
Defeating - Illusions of Power
Never succeeding
From the darkness comes a small ray of light
Ripping apart those standing before it
This world now belongs to me
As I give the final hit
This One
I open my eyes almost sure I'm still dreaming
trying to run but my feet won't move
Something inside wants to get out
Fights like a beast trying to get loose
Silence invades where my screams should be
My heart pushes hard against my chest
I try to remember something that's real
Good thoughts are laid to rest
I don't believe in you
I will defy until I'm gone
This pain I feel is not true
You can't break the will of this one
Thought I had slipped away one last time
You return to me again and again and again
Why try to fight when I know I can't hide
Everything spinning out of control
I remember how it felt to be alive, alive
Waters of time wash away an empty soul
I don't believe in you
I will defy until I'm gone
This pain I feel is not true
You can't break the will of this one
As quick as you came you're gone again
Why play this game...why not let me go
You tell me you're always inside of me
When you and I both know you'll never release your hold
strong>Come On
I caught the sun today
reached out, burned my hands
It's ok I can take the pain
The scars I can't stand
I saw your face today
Looked up, it filled the sky
next thing I knew it was gone
Next thing I knew so were you
I closed my eyes today
Didn't change what I saw
I felt the sadness raining
You can't save them all
I felt the rain today
Like tears from God's own face
But he was not in heaven
This was not a holy place
Come on, come on down
It's your turn to play the game
Come on, come on down
Wash my heart in flames
I spread the word today
Told them all what I'm feeling
All they did was rip me open
Then fill the holes to stop the bleeding
I disappeared today
Wish I could stay so long
So long you'd find you'd need me
So long you'd come back home
Come on, come on down
It's your turn to play the game
Come on, come on down
Wash my heart in flames
I caught the sun today
reached out, burned my hands
It's ok I can take the pain
The scars I can't stand
I saw your face today
Looked up, it filled the sky
Next thing I knew it was gone
Next thing I knew so were you
Can't Save the World
Wished I knew the answers
All I ever ask is why
Quench my thirst with water
Before I slip away in fire
No one can save them all
Not the good, the brave, the pure
You can try but this I give you
You can't save the world
I have the will and the desire
I have the drive but lord I'm tired
Seems like yesterday was alright
Today I can't get one good ride
No one can save them all
Not the good, the brave, the pure
You can try but this I give you
You can't save the world
I'll write my name in the ashes
And stake my claim to what might be
Take my chances with what I don't know
Because I don't like what I see
Freedom
Pull the skin over my eyes
I want to be blind
Turn out the lights
Really I don't mind
Tired of seeing
What this world has to offer
You made me what I am now
You just have to suffer
I want to be free
I want to own me
I want to just be
Why can't you see
See these marks
That pierce my skin
They tell you about the bad things
That I've seen
I've made some mistakes
Or maybe they made me
Make no mistake about it
I have bled to be free
I want to be free
I want to own me
I want to just be
Why can't you see
Just let me slip away
Without a trace
You know you'll never miss me
In this place
So many like me
You know we're drowning
Tomorrow there won't be
One worth saving
Here I Come
Here I come to shake you up
I'm tired of trying to do it right
Forget the rules now you're mine
I'm gonna get it done tonight
Here I come to lift you up
I'm tired of trying to do it right
Mama says you shouldn't go
You're never gonna win that fight
This is my time, this is my way
This is my right it happens today
This is my time, this is my way
Here I come
Here I come to break your chains
I'm tired of seeing you down
Let it loose, let it shine
Tell 'em all you'll see 'em around
This is my time, this is my way
This is my right it happens today
This is my time, this is my way
Here I come
Here I come to shake you up
I'm tired of trying to do it right
Forget the rules now you're mine
I'm gonna get it done tonight
Drown
Tears of the mothers for the hearts of their babes
Blood building towers reaching to the sky
Greed running countries and taking over lives
When the end comes calling don't ask me why
Brother fights brother for the wants of another
Over something neither will ever understand
We see them hurting, we turn the channel
What you don't see you'll never comprehend
The end of the day comes quietly round
Slipping and sliding and dragging us down
Even our Father cannot save us now
When offered life, we choose to drown
Under the ashen gray of the evening sky
Even the sun seems surprisingly blind
The pain of the river is washed to the sea
If you wonder what happened don't ask me
The end of the day comes quietly round
Slipping and sliding and dragging us down
Even our Father cannot save us now
When offered life, we choose to drown
Long Way Down
Not trying to tell you something
I've nothing important to say
Just want to close my eyes
While the world slips away
Don't look to me for answers
Don't look to me for what's right
Truth can be lies when the day turns to night
It's a long way down I can't make it back
It's a long way down I can't make it back
I drift over hills and far away
Just like the clouds in my eyes
I think I'll lay down
And rest here a while
You want to hold on so much
You want to hold it all
I am behind you
Trying to break your fall
It's a long way down I can't make it back
It's a long way down I can't make it back
Feed the Machine
It's late lets go for a ride
I'm tired of being stuck here all night
Need to get a smoke and blow this cage
Feel the wind, kiss the lights
Hate it when I can't let go
So many things still to be done
Don't want to think, just give me a drink
Crank up the music and let's have some fun
Young men are growing and old men are slowing
Both wondering what it all means
Visions of yesterday mix with tomorrow
Are any of us real or part of the dream
The stories I could tell ya
You would not believe
Don't ask how I know what I know
Just leave everything right to me
It's time to feed the machine
You've got to feed the machine
Always wanting more and more
Takes it all right down to the core
It's time to feed the machine
Kick out the tires light up the fires
Let the unknown lead the way
No sacrifices, no second chances
Blow it to hell and throw it away
Jump in the back
There's always room for one more
Smell the stars and kiss the black
Tonight we go through the door
It's time to feed the machine
You've got to feed the machine
Always wanting more and more
Takes it all right down to the core
It's time to feed the machine
D.O.A.
A stranger in a strange land, I walk without a name
Gazing through the time it spans, never two the same
On towards the light from the night where the desperate go
Ends never meet what's between, few will ever know
No breathing, no feeling, touch of bliss is gone
Turn the wheel, forever rolling, through the break of dawn
Walls divided cannot enlighten, something's got to give
Determination, degradation, breaks the will to live
Breaking, illuminating, ripping, constantly procrastinating
Menacing, reciprocating, annointing, self-indulgent world
is waiting
From the circle, beyond eternal, in fear we hold it all
Come the morrow bathed in silence, the winds they come to
call
No screaming, find the meaning, spreading out through space
and time
Silver wings bring twisted things, everywhere you'll find
a sign
No breathing, no feeling, touch of bliss is gone
Turn the wheel, forever rolling, through the break of dawn
Walls divided cannot enlighten, something's got to give
Determination, degradation, breaks the will to live
Breaking, illuminating, ripping, constantly procrastinating
Menacing, reciprocating, annointing, self-indulgent world
is waiting
A stranger in a strange land, I walk without a name
Gazing through the time it spans, never two the same
On towards the light from the night where the desperate go
Ends never meet what's between, few will ever know
Dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
Dead on arrival
Wrecking Ball
When the lights come up I feel alive
Everything bad gets shoved out of sight
1000 flames light up the night
I hear you scream, I hear you scream
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Come inside it's all for you
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Climb on the Wrecking Ball
Every piece of my soul I give for you
Nothing to hide or lock away
Time stands still together we fly
I hear you scream, I hear you scream
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Come inside it's all for you
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Climb on the Wrecking Ball
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Come inside it's all for you
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Ride on the Wrecking Ball
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Come inside it's all for you
This is my place Join me on the mountain
This is my home Climb on the Wrecking Ball
Human Race
I sail over the sun, never close enough to feel the fire
Always on the run, never stop never tire
Another time another place
Never win the human race
Across the night I fly, crossing over space and time
Lines blurring more and more, don’t care how don’t
know why
Chains can break to set you free, or tie you up to keep you
down
Take a look and you will see, answers are all around
Look around and then look away
Take me down to where I want to stay
Another time another place
Never to win this human race
Look around and then look away
Take me down to where I want to stay
Another time another place
Never can win this human race
In The End
In the end what really matters most
Is all that you say and what you do
Close your eyes and just try to dream a while
Feel the light inside of you
And to your god you pray
Please take this pain a way
Please don’t leave me on my own
And I have tried so hard to
Fight what I cannot control
It turns my heart so black its burned
It has been so long
Since I have felt this strong
Please don’t take it all away
I have sanctified you
Tried to pacify you
Now I beg for one more day
And to your god you pray
Please take this pain a way
Please don’t leave me on my own
And I have tried so hard to
Fight what I cannot control
It turns my heart so black its burned
Down To London
I hang down on the east end
Watching all the naughty girls
Acting like they don’t see me
Tonight they’ll know my name
Oh Jackie you’re too much
That’s what they’ll all say
Welcome to my little world
Come in - it’s time to play
Why must it be so hard
I just try to get along
Do what I have to do
I suppose you think it’s wrong
I write you letters
Some signed in blood
Why are things so hard
You never understood
I’m going down
I’m going down
I’m going down
Down to London
I’m going down
I’m going down
I’m going down
Down to London
I come around in shadows
I only like the night
Things look so much better
When they’re out of sight
If you only knew me
If you only took the time
The things I could show you
Forever you’d be mine
I’m going down
I’m going down
I’m going down
Down to London
I’m going down
I’m going down
I’m going down
Down to London
I see the moon in your eyes
I smell the night in your hair
So close I could touch you
It’s so unfair
I’ve waited so long
Don’t be afraid
I have so much to give
It’s so unfair
They try to catch me
They call me names
No one understands me
It’s so unfair
And now I have you
It’s almost time
Look into my eyes
It’s so unfair
See You Around
Done some things in my life and I am ashamed
But I stood like a man and I took the blame
So you can point and stand there looking down
I got things to do guess I’ll see you around
You can call me a liar
You can call me anything you please
In the end I will rise up
While you will still be on your knees
My hands are clean and I’ve made my peace
I’ve walked many nights alone on the streets
I respect your thoughts and I’ll take your words
But excuse me if you get nothing in return
You can call me a liar
You can call me anything you please
In the end I will rise up
While you will still be on your knees
I should have seen the signs it was clear
But things aren’t always like they first appear
Underneath it all is sometimes hard to find
Sometimes you dig so deep you lose your mind
You can call me crazy
You can call me anything you please
In the end I will stand up
While you will still be on your knees
You can call me a liar
You can call me anything you please
In the end I will rise up
While you will still be on your knees
Lightning And Fire
Watch your back the door it's open
Standing tall I'm on my guard
Bad things come to those who wait too long
So don't wait too long cuz you've come too far
Gone are the stars that fell in time
Faint traces they leave in your mind
Wondering if they were ever there
Gone are the stars that fell in time
Faint traces they leave in your mind
Wondering if they were ever there
What happens now the curtains drawn
Who's the one you don't let in
Turn the lock and slide into bed
Before you disappear again
Gone are the stars that fell in time
Faint traces they leave in your mind
Wondering if they were ever there
Gone are the stars that fell in time
Faint traces they leave in your mind
Wondering if they were ever there
Touch my hand and let me lead you
All of a sudden I'm lightning and fire
Gone are the stars that fell in time
Faint traces they leave in your mind
Wondering if they were ever there
Gone are the stars that fell in time
Faint traces they leave in your mind
Wondering if they were ever there
Take The World
See the city in the east she’s rising
See the streets they’re paved with gold
Feel the hands around your throat, yeah
See the man who’s getting old
And nobody wants to know your name
When you’re in the past
Will the man turn away and
Take his last breath
Not ready to step aside
Not ready to let it go
Take the world in my hands
Don’t let it slip away
Take the world in my hands
Don’t let it slip away
See the man with his fate decided
He’d cast the dice but knows where they’d land
He knows the world is growing colder
See him raise his hands
And it’s a long way to let it go
It’s a long way back home
But he knows the faces very well
And he passes them one by one
Not ready to step aside
Not ready to let it go
Take the world in my hands
Don’t let it slip away
Take the world in my hands
Don’t let it slip away
Fuel

Eyes Of The Gods
I know your name
I bring you shame
Bow down to me
I’ll do what I please
Don’t look into the eyes of the gods
Don’t ask them why, just look away
Don’t look into the eyes of the gods
Just be strong you’ll have your day
I’ll show you pain
With you night and day
You’ll feel my hate
I own your soul, I choose your fate
I hear you scream
I watch you cry
I don’t feel a thing
I hide inside my lies
Don’t look into the eyes of the gods
Don’t ask them why, just look away
Don’t look into the eyes of the gods
Just be strong you’ll have your day
War
The darkened sky I feel their eyes
Watching over me
The smell of fear It's always near
Never lets go of me
Reaching inside I can try
To make it go away
Locked in my cage Silence fades
It's on it's way
War - It's damage done
War - Spares no one
Spreads like a disease
War - You're not safe
War - You're in it's way
This thing that should not be
I see the hate Accept my fate
Standing in front of me
With every step It's closer yet
A million miles away from me
War - It's damage done
War - Spares no one
Spreads like a disease
War - You're not safe
War - You're in it's way
This thing that should not be

I’m gonna burn it down
I sleep all day ‘cause I rule the night
I stand up tall and I flex my might
C’mon down, I’ll see you around
You’re goin’ down
Make that last run make it tonight
Speak your peace and say goodnight
Open your eyes this ain’t no dream
This ain’t no dream
Burn
I said burn
I said burn
You’re gonna burn
Burn
I said burn
I said burn
I’m gonna burn it down…BURN
Sins Of The World
A deep breath to cleanse away
All those things we fear
You try but you can’t go on
Got to get out of here
Angels in arms
Sheltering me hiding the eyes of hate
Tying my hands with blood of man
Never gonna sleep again
You you
Take away the sins of the world
You you
Take away the sins of the world
Leaving them for me
Knowing I can’t be saved
Lies can be bought or sold
Even if no one’s left to hear
Time it will pass you by
Curses your name and leaves you there
Constantly down, down on my knees
Pleading day after day
Crying for hope, battered and broke
Someone take me away
Early Warning
Fast Strike
You always know how to get me off my feet
When I'm so tired my spirit is dragging
You always know what it takes to make me scream
Even when the silence could be golden
You always know how to get me wired
Even if I'm all depressed
You hit me square in the face and knock me down
I know I ain't seen nothing yet
Fast strike - You make a fast strike
You make a fast strike - Yes you do
Fast strike - You make a fast strike
You make a fast strike - Yes you do
You always know how to pick me up
Even though I'm pushed around
You get me high, you get me high
We ain't never coming down
You always know how to make me feel alive
Even when I'm dead in space
Take me on your mystical trip
We gotta get outta this place
Fast strike - You make a fast strike
You make a fast strike - Yes you do
Fast strike - You make a fast strike
You make a fast strike - Yes you do
You always know how to get me off my feet
When I'm so tired my spirit is dragging
You always know what it takes to make me scream
Even when the silence could be golden
You always know how to get me wired
Even if I'm all depressed
You hit me square in the face and knock me down
I know I ain't seen nothing yet
Fast strike - You make a fast strike
You make a fast strike - Yes you do
Fast strike - You make a fast strike
You make a fast strike - Yes you do
Don't Forget About Me
Lost in the grace that I thought you had given
to me
Only to be taken away without a second thought
Plastic
Jesus on the wall you're staring down at me
Wondering how
I could ever let this all go wrong
All I really have is me
And I'm trying to be
strong
All I really have is me
And I'm trying to hold on
Can't you see me raise my hands in a desperate
sign
While all that you can do is just wave goodbye
How can you just turn and walk away from me
Leaving me down here reaching out for you one last time
All I really have is me
And I'm trying to be strong
All I really have is me
And I'm trying to hold on
I know that you understood, well I understand
That
I can't be near you like I could before
You do anything you
want, do anything you please
Just don't don't don't you forget
about me
All I really have is me
And I'm trying to be strong
All I really have is me
And I'm trying to hold on
In My Skin
Lived with this pain for far too long
Wasted
away everything is gone
Nothing out here but a useless shell
Nothing
to fear right here is my hell
Gave me choice I'm gonna use it now
Give me the mask I'll put it on
Show me the
valve I'll turn it on
Don't try to tell me that I'm doing
wrong
'Cause you've not lived in my skin
All my dreams vanish in the haze
Long empty
nights and endless days
You gave me a voice you better listen
Yeah,
yeah
Give me the mask I'll put it on
Finally go where I belong
Don't try to tell me it hasn't been so long
'Cause you've not lived in my skin - c'mon
Give me the mask I'll put it on
Show me the valve I'll turn it on
Don't try to tell me that I'm doing wrong
'Cause you've not lived in my skin
Lived with this pain for far too long
Just let me go I'm already gone
I'd sell my soul to end it all
Give me the mask I'll put it on
Finally go where I belong
Don't try to tell me it hasn't been so long
'Cause you've not lived in my skin
Give me the mask I'll put it on
Show me the valve I'll turn it on...
Horses and Angels
Don't remember much but I woke laughing
You
were just watching never speaking not saying a word
Outside
the snow falls, but it's warm here where we're laying
Time
flying too fast while the souls slowly fade away
Mama used to tell me about horses and angels
And
dreams so real, you'd swear that you could fly
What's the point you keep saying all I hear
are the angels singing
As they shine their lights down on
you making halos above your head
Lately I been praying this
time that you'll be staying
Even though I'm holding tight,
you've already slipped away
Mama used to tell me about horses and angels
And dreams so real, you'd swear that you could fly
Mama used to tell me about horses and angels
And dreams so real, you'd swear that you could fly
Wise men and fools both swear that it's true
Well
I'll take a little of each and throw away whatever I can't use
Mama used to tell me about horses and angels
And dreams so real, you'd swear that you could fly
Once upon a time there
was horses and angels
And dreams so real we'd never ever have to die
I'll Be Alright
I remember every line on your face I just can't
remember your name
I miss you so much when you're not here,
although I know it's just not the same
Sometimes I feel if
I could just touch you, you know it'll be alright, alright
When will, when will it be over
Just let me
know I'll be alright, I'll be alright
Never did like surprises,
never did like goodbyes
Don't look at me with those tears, don't think
of me with regret
Think of me with the birds and the flowers,
think of me in a lover's sunset
And know please know the love
I have for you, never ending never far away
Rolling on like the waves over the oceans
Always
warm like the sun on your face
Never did like surprises, no
no no
Never did like having to go away
When will, when will it be over
Just let me know I'll be alright, well I'll be alright
Never did like surprises, no
no no never did like goodbyes
Me the Freak
Don't want to start a revolution
Didn't come
here seeking absolution
Ain't no problem if you find a solution,
hey, hey, hey
See - See the freak
Need - Need the freak
Be - Be the freak
Me - Me the freak
Look closely things aren't what you're seeing
Opened
eyes can't always be believing
Ain't no reason to be doing
all this grieving, hey, hey, hey
See - See the freak
Need - Need the freak
Be - Be the freak
Me - Me the freak
Life grows out of devistation
Hope battles anger and frustration
Humanity or desolation hey
Pain
Prayer for the Dying
One more night alone looking at the moon
Wishing
for things that will never come, never come
Bathed in the
sweet blue-white light shining down
The embers of the silent
night they fade away
And I don't want to be alone today
If it's gonna
end it shouldn't be this way
I thought a lifetime was forever
and a day
Now there isn't anymore time to save
I close my eyes and I'm falling down, falling down
Drifting
to where the tide decides that I should be
Screaming inside
but suddenly I have no choice
Surrendering seems to be my only choice
And I don't want to be alone today
If it's gonna end it shouldn't be this way
I thought a lifetime was forever and a day
Now there isn't anymore time to save
The soft rains falling down on my cheek
I've trained myself to enjoy it's touch and what it brings
The sky opens up it gives up what it has
It's taking over,
it's taking over
And I don't want to be alone today
If it's gonna end it shouldn't be this way
I thought a lifetime was forever and a day
Now there isn't anymore time to save
No more time to save...
Early Warning
Well here comes a sign of early warning crying
out to me
Seems silly but I'm not really afraid
Must just
be something going on in my head
That lets me look though
I can't really see
Here comes a sign of trouble
Reaching out to
me
Just another chance I'm willing to take
There's something
going on, there's something going wrong
With me
My life is dragging it's slow motion then it's
fast
Always a cure for the same old disease
Well I'm tied up, shackled
up, LÖKKED up to the past
And all I really wanted was a little piece of peace
Here comes a sign of trouble
Reaching out to me
Just another chance I'm willing to take
There's something going on, there's something going wrong
With me - Lookout
It's been so long, so long I can't remember
So
many things, just seem to slip away
Feelings changing, constantly
like crazy weather
I watch them go, I watch them go away
Well here comes a sign of early warning crying
out to me
Seems silly but I'm not really afraid
Just another sign of trouble
Marching out to me
One more chance I'm willing to take
There's something going on,oh god there's something going wrong
With me
Another Lost Soul
See the girl with her dreams of gold
She see's her paradise on the screen
Win or lose she wants it all
And for her there's no in-between
See the boy with the leather on
He's gonna be the next James Dean
King of Hollywood there ain't no doubt
That he's the coolest you've ever seen
Another lost soul
Mister can you line 'em up again
You know I'm feeling kind of low
I lost my family I lost my friends
These streets are all I know
Sell your body to make a buck
To buy a needle and ease your pain
Another fix, another f**k
And you do it all again
Another lost soul
See the girl with her dreams of gold
She see'her paradise on the screen
Win or lose she wants it all
And for her there's no in-between
See the boy with the leather on
He's gonna be the next James Dean
King of Hollywood there ain't no doubt
That he's the coolest you've ever seen
Another lost soul
Beyond All
All the times I wished for you to speak to me
A quick hello or maybe half a smile
Your eyes closed silently below me
Eternity in the space before you and I
What's on your mind, what's in your head
Perhaps a thought from years past fading
The smell of rain on a cool April's night
Or of you and I
Thought I could fake the strength
Maybe you wouldn't know
Beyond faith there is hope, beyond hope there is peace
Beyond peace there is I, beyond I there is we
Beyond all there is love
I've spent so long just praying
Blood on my knees, there's blood on my soul
Sometimes I wonder if anyone's listening
Sometimes I wonder the same about you
If I could take it all back you know I would
All the things I've said and just what I've done
My gift to you, my very last breath
In exchange for the unknown
Thought I could fake the strength
Maybe you wouldn't know
Beyond faith there is hope, beyond hope there is peace
Beyond peace there is I, beyond I there is we
Beyond all there is love
Hard Rain
Anger and outrage, same old situation
Quick to snap I always jump in blind
Go for the throat, I take no prisoners
Look deep inside, you won't like what you find
And I need a hard rain
To cleanse me - wash away my sins
I need a hard rain
To drown me in it's innocense
Attitude, I've got enough for everyone
I take my pride down with me, you watch as it falls
These high hopes shot down straight to hell
Must be a funny place, I'm laughing after all
And I need a hard rain
To cleanse me - wash away my sins
I need a hard rain
To drown me in it's innocense
And I need a hard rain
To cleanse me - wash away my sins
I need a hard rain
To drown me in it's innocense
Getting pushed to the edge and back I go
Falling down so low can't remember high
Feeling like a dead man walking
After all these years I thought I might be getting wise
I need, I need, I need a hard rain
Starman
I'm not your god no matter how you look at me
I'm just a man not what you want me to be
I cry I bleed, I lust I need
Roll back straight to insane
I bury my demons deep down in alcohol
Try to get away but don't quite know how
Everyday much longer than the last
Good thing you can't see
When I look into the mirror
I see a man who's waiting
Always waiting for tomorrow
Maybe then I'll be saved
I give my life, I bleed for all of you
A glimpse inside, not who you thought you knew
I scream I thirst, I pray I hurt
Roll back straight to insane
Everyday another war for me to fight
Ask for God to keep me strong again tonight
It fades to black, not coming back
Good thing you can't see
When I look into the mirror
I see a man who's waiting
Always waiting for tomorrow
Maybe then I'll be saved
When I look into the mirror
I see a man who's waiting
Always waiting for tomorrow
Maybe then I'll be saved
