He's just the kind of man
You hear about Who leaves his family for An easy out They never saw the signs He never said a word He couldn't take another day Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone You're crawling under Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining Over your head disappears The noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of hollow years She's not the kind of girl You hear about She'll never want another She'll never be without She'll give you all the signs She'll tell you everything Then turn around and walk away Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone You're crawling under Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining Over your head disappears The noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of hollow years Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone You're crawling under Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining Over your head disappears The noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of hollow years |

Feelin' sick once again
I'd give anything To be back home Safe and warm inside I can't stand the crowds Or the smell that surrounds me The cloth and key Still preach chastity Take me back so i can see The way it used to be I lay down and enter a dream Unlike anywhere i've been All is silent and sweet Then i'm falling down to the ground And i'm lost from what i've found Can't stand the sounds no more Take me back so i can see The way it used to be The way it used to be Move me from the water Too cold to swim Bring me to the land Move me from the water That i see within Bring me to the land Radio waves Splash through my head To a rhythm that i crave Radio waves Relive the moment Seems like yesterday Take me back to twelve mile bay Where i'll sit at the edge with my feet in the water Take me back as the sun fades away Break down the walls so i can breathe Move me from the water Too cold to swim Bring me to the land Move me from the water That i see within Bring me to the land Move me from the water Too cold to swim Bring me to the land Move me from the water That i see within The way it used to be The way it used to be Move me from the water Too cold to swim Bring me to the land Move me from the water That i see within Bring me to the land Move me from the water Too cold to swim Bring me to the land Move me from the water That i see within |

A thorn in my side, a chip on my shoulder
A lump in my throat, the size of a boulder The chill up my spine, can't get any colder And you wonder why I can't smile A knot in my gut, an ape on my back In the heat of the moment I'm knocked off the track You drop the ball, I pick up the slack And you ask me why my hair's gray Twisting, turning Losing all sense of yearning Living and learning The pressure keeps on burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul I say it's green and then you tell me it's red Keep your thoughts and ideas Locked inside of your head We've got someone Who can think for you instead And he sounds just like the last one Twisting, turning Losing all sense of yearning Living and learning The pressure keeps on burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Responsible thinkers Throw caution to the wind But I find myself Speaking from within I can't live my life Walking on eggshells To stay on your good side Using your words Controlling my life Can't you see it's my words That gives you your life So I hurt your feelings Well I'm really sorry But I don't give a shit, no... Twisting, turning Losing all sense of yearning Living and learning The pressure keeps on burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul, yeah |

I. The Observance
An Angel's kiss now fallen Descending scarlet cuts the sky Faded names left on the wall Honor the fighting leave life to die Remembered is the sacrifice but No praisal of blood still flowing Who were the leaders? what controlled the Killing Hand that caused this mourning? Crossing over... II. Ancient Renewal Lowered deep into the sea Being awaits to cleanse his soul senses weakening time is still Motionless by stiffening cold The wheels race back and Scorch his mind Traveling all to find the land Revelation warms a touch And now, he will begin to Understand III. The Stray Seed Extended a view to yesterday Manifestation for none the same Walking amidst a frightening still No sound, no smoke, no scorching Flames He is risen... Sipping his poison the raven sings Yet another to add more bodies fallen King from below this one controls the Killing Hand that caused this mourning. Is it all over? Is it all over? IV. Thorns Evil genius this secret plan Mercy dealt with the losing hand Will he ever fall? Can he end it all? Our savior must make his stand. Only a Prophet of years to come Wanting mortality I'm all alone He heard my voice It was my choice I've stopped the Killing Hand. V. Exodus When I go back again Will it be the same? I've stopped the cries But now they know my name The sea is calling me my spirit must return As I get closer, was it really worth what I have learned? I'm in the valley And the saddened chimes I hear Race toward the wall to find one more name appears. No one is left now my one and only land I laugh at what I've done I am the Killing Hand. |

Lost in the sky
Clouds roll by and I roll with them Arrows fly Seas increase and then fall again This world is spinning around me This world is spinning without me Every day sends future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last Watch the sparrow falling Gives new meaning to it all If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day I'll take seven lives for one And then my only father's son As sure as I did ever love him I am not afraid This world is spinning around me The whole world keeps spinning around me All life is future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last Pull me under, pull me under Pull me under, I'm not afraid All that I feel is honor and spite All I can do is set it right Dust fills my eyes Clouds roll by and I roll with them Centuries cry Orders fly and I fall again This world is spinning inside me The whole world is spinning inside me Every day sends future to past Every step brings me closer to my last Pull me under, pull me under Pull me under, I'm not afraid Living my life too much in the sun Only until your will is done |

Live another day
Climb a little higher Find another reason to stay Ashes in your hands Mercy in your eyes If you're searching for a silent sky You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So die another day The coldness of his words The message in his silence "Face the candle to the wind..." The distance in my voice Isn't leaving you a choice So if you're looking for a time to run away You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So try another day They took pictures of our dreams Ran to hide behind the stairs And said maybe when it's right for you, they'll fall But if they don't come down Resist the need to pull them in And throw them away Better to save the mystery Than surrender to the secret You won't find it here Look another way You won't find it here So try another day |

Just let me catch my breath
I've heard the promises I've seen the mistakes I've had my fair share of tough breaks I need a new voice, a new law, a new way Take the time, reevaluate It's time to pick up the pieces Go back to square one I think it's time for a change There is someting that I feel To be something that is real I feel the heat within my mind And craft new changes with my eyes Giving freely wandering promises A place with decisions I'll fashion I won't waste another breath You can feel the waves coming on (It's time to take the time) Let them destroy you or carry you on (It's time to take the time) You're fighting the weight of the world But no one can save you this time Close your eyes You can find all you need in your mind The unbroken spirit Obscured and disquiet Finds clearness this trial demands And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief For the fortune lies still in his hands If there's a pensive fear, a wasted year A man must learn to cope If his obsession's real Suppression that he feels must turn to hope Life is no more assuring than love (It's time to take the time) There are no answers from voices above (It's time to take the time) Youre fighting the weight of the world And no one can save you this time Close your eyes You can find all you need in your mind I close my eyes And feel the water rise around me Drown the beat of time Let my senses fall away I can see mcuh clearer now I'm blind Find all you need in your mind If you take the time |

Morning comes to early and nighttime falls too late
And sometimes all I want to do is wait The shadow I've been hiding in has fled from me today I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye But I will raise a shelter to the sky And here beneath this star tonight I'll lie She will slowly yeild the light as I awaken from the longest night Dreams are shaking Set sirens waking up tired eyes WIth the light the memories all rush into his head By a candle stands a mirror Of his heart and soul she dances She was dancing through the night above his head And walking to the window he throws the shutters out against the wall ANd from an ivory tower hears her call "Let light surround you" It's been a long, long time He's had a while to think it over In the end he only sees the change Light to dark Dark to light Light to dark Dark to light Heaven must be more than this When angels waken with a kiss Sacred hearts won't take the pain But mine will never be the same He stands before the window His shadow slowly fading from the wall And from an ivory tower he hears her call "Let the light surround you" Once lost but I was found When I heard the stained glass shatter all around me I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill But I will hold this one on high above me still She whispers words to clear my mind I once could see but now at last I'm blind I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye But I had given all I could take And now I've only habits left to break Tonight I'll still be lying here Surrounded in all the light |

Standing by the window
Eyes upon the moon Hoping that the memory will leave her spirit soon She shuts the doors and lights And lays her body on the bed Where images and words are running deep SHe has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head So quietly she lays and waits for sleep She stares at the ceiling ANd tries not to think ANd pictures the chain SHe's been trying to link again But the feeling is gone And water can't cover her memory And ashes can't answer her pain God give me the power to take breath from a breeze And call life from a cold metal frame In with the ashes Or up with the smoke from the fire With wings up in heaven Or here, lying in bed Palm of her hand to my head Now and forever curled in my heart And the heart of the world |

There was no time for pain
No energy for anger The sightlessness of hatred slips away Walking through winter streets alone He stops and takes a breath With confidence and self-control I look at the world and see no understanding I'm waiting to find some sense of strength I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart to show me understanding I need to live life Like some people never will So find me kindness Find me beauty Find me truth When temptation brings me to my knees And I lay here drained of strength Show me kindness Show me beauty Show me truth The way your heart sounds makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats makes all the difference In learning to live Here before me is my soul I'm learning to live I won't give up Till I've no more to give Listening to the city Whispering it's violence I set out watching from above The '90s bring new questions New solutions to be found I fell in love to be let down Once again we dance in the crowd At times a step away From a common fear that's all spread out It won't listen to what you say Once you're touched you stand alone To face the bitter fight Once I reached for love And now I reach for life Another chance to lift my life Free the sensation in my heart To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons It brings inner peace within my mind As I'm lifted from where I spilt my life I hear an innocent voice I hear kindness, beauty and truth The way your heart sounds makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats makes all the difference In learning to live Spread before you is your soul So forever hold the dreams within our hearts Through nature's inflexible grace I'm learning to live |

In the calm of desolation Wanting to break From this circle of confusion Sleeping In the depths of isolation Trying to wake From this daydream of illusion How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me How can I know so many Never really knowing anyone If I seem superhuman I have been Misunderstood It challenges the essence of my soul And leaves me in a state of disconnection As I navigate the maze of self control Playing a lion being led to a cage I turn from a thief to a beggar From a god to God save me How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me How can I know so many Never really knowing anyone If I seem superhuman I have been Misunderstood Playing a lion being led to a cage I turn from surreal to seclusion From love to disdain From belief to delusion From a thief to a beggar From a god to God save me How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me How can I know so many Never really knowing anyone If I seem superhuman I have been Misunderstood |

Try, still I don't understand Will I ever feel this again Blue sky, I'll meet you in the end Free them, free the memories of you Free me, and rest 'til I'm with you A day like today My whole world has been changed Nothing you say Will help ease my pain Turn, I'll turn this slowly round Burn, burn to feel alive again She, she'd want me to move one See me, this place I still belong Give chase, to find more than I have found And face, this time now on my own Days disappear And my world keeps changing I feel you here And it keeps me sane So I'm moving on I'll never forget As you lay there and watched me Accepting the end I knew you were scared You were strong I was trying I gave you my hand I said it's okay letting go time to leave here And I'll carry on The best that I can without you here beside me Let him come and take you home |

She can't stop pacing
She never felt so alive Her thoughts are racing Set on overdrive It takes a village This she knows is true They're expecting her And she's got work to do He helplessly stands by It's meaningless to try As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes He says I've never seen her get this bad Even though she seems so high He knows that she can't fly And when she falls out of the sky He'll be standing by She was raised in a small midwestern town By a charming and eccentric loving father She was praised as the perfect teenage girl And everyone thought highly of her And she tried everyday With endless drive To make the grade Then one day She woke up to find The perfect girl Had lost her mind Once barely taking a break Now she sleeps the days away She helplessly stands by It's meaningless to try All she wants to do is cry No one ever knew she was so sad Cause even though she gets so high And thinks that she can fly She will fall out of the sky But in the face of misery She found hopefulness Feeling better She had weathered This depression Much to her advantage She resumed her frantic pace Boundless power Midnight hour She enjoyed the race |

Showed the cowards We weren't there to mess around Through heat exhaustion And mind distortion A military victory mounted on innocent ground Hearing voices from miles away Saying things never said Seeing shadows in the light of the day Waging a war inside my head Years and years of Bloodshed and warfare Our mission was only to get in and kill A free vacation Of palmtrees and shrapnel Trading innocence for permanent psychotic hell Hearing voices from miles away Saying things never said Seeing shadows in the light of the day Waging a war inside my head Feeling strangers staring my way Reading minds never read Tasting danger with each word I say Waging the war inside my head |

Waiting for the light The smell of pure adrenaline Burning in the night Random blinding flashes Aiming at the stage Intro tape begins to roll Igniting sonic rage Still they keep me between these hollow walls Hoping to find in me The answers to the test that stumped them all "The boy is just simply crazy Suffering from delusions We honestly think that maybe He might need an institution He lives in a world of fiction And really could use some help We have just the place to fix him To save him from himself" Curled up in the darkness Searching of the light The smell of sweat and shit Steaming through the night Random urine testing Pills red, pink and blue Counseling and therapy Providing not a clue Still they keep me between these hollow walls Hoping to find in me The answers to the test that stumped them all "We can't seem to find the answers He seemed such a clear cut case We cannot just let him leave here And put all this work to waste Why don't we try shock treatment It really might do some help We have just the tools to fix him To save him from himself" |

Lavender in your bed So innocent as you lie down Sweet dreams that run through your head Are you lonely without Mommy's love? I want you to know I'd die for that moment You're just a poor girl Afraid of this cruel world Taken away from it all It's been 5 years to the day and My tainted blood's still the same I can't help acting this way and Those bastard doctors are gonna pay I'm so lonely without baby's love I want you to know I'd die for one more moment I'm just a poor girl Afraid of this cruel world Taken away from it all |

She dresses in black everyday
She keeps her hair simple and plain She never wears makeup But no one would care if she did anyway She doesn't recall yesterday Faces seem twisted and strange But she always wakes up Only to find she'd been miles away Absence of awareness Losing time A lapse of perception Losing time Wanting to escape She had created a way to survive She learned to detach from herself A behavior that kept her alive Hope in the face of our human distress Helps us to understand the turbulence deep inside That takes hold of our lives Shame and disgrace over mental unrest Keeps us from saving those we love The grace within our hearts And the sorrow in our souls Deception of fame Vengeance of war Lives torn apart Losing oneself Spiraling down Feeling the walls closing in A journey to find The answers inside Our illusive mind |

Innocence [03:50] I remember a time, My frail, virgin mind, watched the crimson sunrise Imagined what it might find, Life was filled with wonder I felt the warm wind blow, I must explore the boundaries Transcend the depth of winter's snow, Innocence caressing me I never felt so young before.There was so much life in me Still I longed to search for more, But those days are gone now Changed like a leaf on a tree, Blown away forever, into the cool autumn breeze, The snow has now fallen, and my sun's not so bright, I struggle to hold on with the last of my might, In my den of inequity, viciousness and subtlety struggle to ease the pain, struggle to find the sane, Ignorance surrounding me I've never been so filled with fear, All my life's been drained from me The end is drawing near.... III. Carpe Diem [06:54] I'll always remember The chill of November The news of the fall The sounds in the hall The clock on the wall ticking away 'Seize the Day' I heard him say Life will not always be this way Look around Hear the sounds Cherish your life while you're still around We can learn from the past But those days are gone We can hope for the future But there might not be one The words stuck in my mind alive from what I've learned I have to seize the day To home I returned Preparing for her flight I held with all my might Fearing my deepest fright She walked into the night She turned for one last look She looked me in the eye I said, 'I Love You...Good-bye' IV. The Darkest of Winters [10:08] (Instrumental) V. Another World [13:01] So far or so it seems All is lost with nothing fulfilled Off the pages and the T.V. screen Another world where nothing's true Tripping through the life fantastic Lose a step and never get up Left alone with a cold blank stare I feel like giving up I was blinded by a paradise Utopia high in the sky A dream that only drowned me Deep in sorrow, wondering why Oh come let us adore him Abuse and then ignore him No matter what, don't let him be Let's feed upon his misery Then string him up for all the world to see I'm sick of all you hypocrites holding me at bay And I don't need your sympathy to get me through the day Seasons change and so can I Hold on Boy, No time to cry Untie these strings, I'm climbing down I won't let them push me away Oh come let us adore him Abuse and then ignore him No matter what, don't let him be Let's feed upon his misery Now it's time for them to deal with me VI. The Inevitable Summer [16:59] (Instrumental) VII. The Crimson Sunset [20:12] I'm much wiser now A lifetime of memories run through my head They taught me how for better or worse, alive or dead I realize there's no turning back Life goes on the offbeaten track I sit down with my son Set to see the Crimson Sunset (Gather ye rosebuds while ye may) Many years have come and gone I've lived my life, but now must move on (Gather ye rosebuds while ye may) He's my only one Now that my time has come Now that my life is done We look into the sun 'Seize the day and don't you cry, Now it's time to say good-bye Even though I'll be gone, I will live on, live on.' |

The roses in the window box
Have tilted to one side Everything about this house Is gonna grow and die Well it doesn't seem a year ago To this very day You said sorry honey If I don't change the pace I can't face another day *And love lies bleeding in my hand Oh it kills me to think of you with another man I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan When my guitar couldn't hold you So I split the band Love lies bleeding in my hands I wonder if those changes Have left a scar on you All the burning hoops of fire That you and I passed through You're a bluebird on a telegraph line I hope you're happy now While if the wind of change coming down your way girl You'll make it back somehow *Repeat *Repeat Love lies bleeding in my hands |

Can you remember remember my name
As I flow through your life A thousand oceans I have flown And cold spirits of ice All my life I am the echo of your past I am returning the echo of a point in time Distant faces shine A thousand warriors I have known And laughing as the spirits appear All your life Shadows of another day And if you hear me talking on the wind You've got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow A strand of silver hanging through the sky Touching more than you see The voice of ages in your mind Is aching with the dead of the night Precious life (your tears are lost in falling rain) And if you hear me talking on the wind You've got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers |

It was an April morning
When they told us we should go And as I turned to you You smiled at me How could they say no? All the fun to have To live the dreams we always had Oh the songs to sing When we at last return again, yeah Sending off a glancing kiss To those who claim they know Know the streets a seaman he's The devil in his hole Oh to sail away Sailing lands and other days Oh to touch the dream Hides inside and never seen, yeah Into the sun the south the north Lies the first of hope Shackles of commitments fell In pieces on the ground Oh to ride the wind To tread the air above the din Oh to laugh aloud Dancing as we fought the crowd, yeah To seek the man whose pointing hand The giant step unfolds With guidance from the curving path That churns up into stone If one bell should ring In celebration for a king So fast the heart should beat As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah Oh, yeah Here we go Wanted to know, oh Sing out Hare, Hare, oh Dance the Hoochie Koo The city lights oh so bright, As we go sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding through. |

Silence disguised
I watch you Show me the hurt that haunts you would you despise the thrill If all you hide were mine? I can't hold on any longer These feelings keep growing stronger Echoes that deafen the mind will bury my voice in their wake Caught in a Web Removed from the world Hanging on by a thread Spinning the lies devised in my head I've seen the path the one you take shows the truth for you to make This turn of phrase we might not see is the thirst of desire found so easily Try to push me 'round the world some more And make me live in fear I bare all that I am made of now Attractive I don't care 'Cause even when I danced with life no one was there to share Does this voice the wounds of your soul? Caught in a Web Removed from the world Hanging on by a thread Spinning the lies devised in my head Tried to live the life you live and saw It doesn't work for me I bare all that I am made of now Attractive, I can't be Inside the Dance of Life is one I'll never hold to me You can't heal the wounds of my soul. Caught in a Web Removed from the world Hanging on by a thread Spinning the lies devised in my head Caught in a Web Refused by the world Hanging on by a thread Spinning a cage Denied and misread |

Love just don't stare
He used to say to me every Sunday morning The spider in the window The angel in the pool The old man takes the poison Now the widow makes the rules So speak I'm right here She used to say to me not a word not a word Judas on the ceiling the Devil in my bed I guess Easter's never coming So I'll just wait inside my head Like a scream but sort of silent living off my nightmares Voices repeating me Feeling threatened We reflect your hopes and fears Voices discussing me Others steal your thoughts they're not confined within your mind Thought disorder Dream control Now they read my mind on the radio But where was the Garden of Eden I feel elated I feel depressed Sex is death Death is sex Says it right here on my Crucifix Like a scream but sort of silent living off my nightmares Voices protecting me Good behavior brings the Savior to his knees Voices rejecting me Others steal your thoughts they're not confined to your own mind I don't wanna be here 'cause of my suffering 'cause of my illness Only love is worth having only love is what matters loving every people on equal terms You've got to know who you're dealin' with because like a stranger a heh just might come in through here with a gun and then what would you do Everything is immaterial n' you know that reality is immaterial This is not reality I'm kneeling on the floor staring at the wall like the spider in the window I wish that I could speak Is there fantasy in refuge God in politicians Should I turn on my religion These demons in my head tell me to I'm lying here in bed Swear my skin is inside out Just another Sunday morning Seen my diary on the newsstand Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand It's a shame no one is praying 'Cause these voices in my head keep saying Love just don't stare Reveal the Word when you're supposed to Withdrawn and introverted Infectiously perverted 'Being laughed at and confused keeps us pleasantly amused enough to stay Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting Twentieth century Icon bleeding Willing to risk Salvation to escape from isolation I'm witness to redemption heard you speak but never listened Can you rid me of my secrets Deliver us from Darkness Voices repeating me Feeling threatened We reflect your hopes and fears Voices discussing me Don't expect your own Messiah This neverworld which you desire is only in your mind |

A question well served,
'Is silence like a fever?' 'A voice never heard?' 'Or a message with no receiver?' Pray they won't ask Behind the stained glass There's always one more mask Has man been a victim of his woman, of his father? if he elects not to bother, will he suffocate their faith? Desperate to fall Behind the Great Wall That separates us all When there is reason Tonight I'm Awake when there's no answer Arrive the Silent Man If there is balance tonight He's Awake If they have to suffer There lies the Silent Man Sin without deceivers A God with no believers I could sail by on the Winds of Silence And maybe they won't notice But this time I think It'd be better if I swim When there is reason Tonight I'm Awake When there's no answer Arrive the Silent Man If there is balance Tonight he's Awake But if they have to suffer There lies the Silent Man |

Temptation-
why won't you leave me alone? Lurking Every Corner, everywhere I go -Self Control- Don't turn your back on me now When I need you most Constant pressure tests my will My will or my wont My Self Control escapes from me still .... Hypocrite- How could you be so cruel and expect my faith in return? -Resistance- Is not as hard as it seems When you close the door I spent so long trusting in you I trust you forgot Just when I thought I believed in you... It's time for me to deal Becoming all too real living in fear,- Why did you lie and pretend? This has come to an end I'll never trust you again It's time you made your amends Look in the mirror my friend Let's stare the problem right in the eye It's plagued me from coast to coast Racing the clock to please everyone All but the one who matters the most Reflections of reality are slowly coming into view How in the hell could you possibly forgive me? After the hell I put you through It's time for me to deal Becoming all too real living in fear Why'd I betray my friend? Lying until the end Living life so pretend It's time to make my amends I'll never hurt you again |

at the bottom of lake it's a hundred degrees I can't breathe And I won't get out 'til I figure it out though I'm weak like I can't believe So you tell me "trust me" l can trust you just let me show you But I gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt 'cause I don't know if I know you Doing fine but don't waste my time tell me what it is you want to say You sin, you win, just let me in--hurry I've been out in the rain all day So you tell me "trust me" I can trust you as far as I can throw you And I'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt 'cause I don't know if I know you Don't tell me you wanted me Don't tell me you thought of me I won't, I swear I won't {Did) I'11 try, I swear I'll try (Lie) Mother Mary quite contrary kiss the boys and make them wary things are getting just a little bit scarry It's a wonder I can still breathe Never been much of a doubting Thomas but nothing breaks like a broken promise You tell me 'bout your two more coming but once is just enough for me I had gotten used to being a soul destroyed She comes in apparently to fill the void All dogs need a leash and at least I'll forget it And she would never hurt me though she's never said it But I'm not gonna ask her today I don't wanna scare her away Your town, I'm all alone and I just can't stare at the phone I wanna talk about lifelong mistakes and you can tell your stepfather I said so |

He seems alone and silent
thoughts remain without an answer Afraid and uninvited he slowly drifts away Moved by desire and fear Breaking delicate wings Lifting shadows off a Dream once broken She can turn a drop of water Into an ocean As the rain is pouring down Tears of sorrow wash his mind Drifting with the current This stream of life flows on He seems alone and silent waiting on his hands and knees The chill of winter's darkness sits quietly Moved by desire and fear he takes a few steps away Lifting shadows off a Dream once broken She can turn a drop of water Into an ocean And she listens openly He pours his soul into the water reflecting the mystery She carries him away and the winds die slowly Lifting shadows off a Dream once broken She can turn a drop of water Into an ocean Lifting Shadows off a Dream |

To Rise, To Fall.
To Hurt, To Hate. To Want, To Wait. To Heal, To Save. Can't hear it. we fear it awareness won't come near it Distractive Reactive Disguised in spite of time I never bared my emotions My passion always strong I never lost my devotion but somewhere fate went wrong Can't let them rape me again Your venom's not family here won't let them fill me with fatalistic remedies What if the rest of the world was hopelessly blinded by fear? Where would my sanctity live? Suddenly nobody cares. It's never enough you're wasting your time isn't there something I could say? You don't understand You're closing me out How can we live our lives this way? You tell me I'm wrong I'm risking my life Still, I have nothing in return I show you my hands You don't see the scars Maybe you'll leave me here to burn. What if the rest of the world was hopelessly drowning in vain? Where would our self pity run? Suddenly everyone cares, Blood...Heal me Fear...Change me Belief will always save me Blood...Swearing Fear...Staring Conviction made aware Give up on misery Turn your back on dissent Leave their distrust behind Wash your hands of regret Do you feel you don't know me anymore? And do you feel I'm afraid of your love? And how come you don't want me asking? And how come my heart's not invited? You say you want everyone happy Well, we're not laughing. And how come you don't understand me? And how come I don't understand you? Thirty years say we're in this together So open your eyes. People in prayer for me everyone there for me Sometimes I feel I should face this alone My soul exposed It calms me to know that I won't Blood...Heal me Fear...Change me Belief will always save me Blood...Swearing Fear...Staring Conviction made aware Give up on misery Turn your back on dissent Leave their distrust behind Wash your hands of regret Blood...Heal me Fear...Change me Belief will always save me Blood...Swearing Fear...Staring Conviction made aware Learning from misery Staring back at dissent Leaving distrust behind I'm inspired and content |

of Martens on angels Feeling my heart pull west I saw the future dressed as a stranger love in a space dye vest Love is an act of blood and I'm bleeding a pool in the shape of a heart Beauty projection in the reflection Always the wrost way to start Now that you're gone I'm trying to take it Learning to swallow the rage Found a new girl I think we can make it as long as she stays on the page This is not how I want it to end And I'll never be open again There's no one to take my blame if they wanted to Nothing to keep me sane and it's all the same to you There's nowhere to set my aim so I'm everywhere Never come near me again do you really think I need you And I'll smile and I'll learn to pretend And I'll never be open again And I'll have no more dreams to defend And I'll never be open again |

"Close your eyes and begin to relax.
Take a deep breath, and let it out slowly. Concentrate on your breathing. With each breath you become more relaxed. Imagine a brilliant white light above you, focusing on this light as it flows through your body. Allow yourself to drift off as you fall deeper and deeper into a more relaxed state of mind. Now as I count backward from ten to one, you will feel more peaceful, and calm. Ten. Nine. Eight. Seven. Six. You will enter a safe place where nothing can harm you. Five. Four. Three. Two. If at any time you need to come back, all you must do is open your eyes. One." Safe in the light that surrounds me Free of the fear and the pain My subconscious mind Starts spinning through time To rejoin the past once again Nothing seems real I'm starting to feel Lost in the haze of a dream And as I draw near The scene becomes clear Like watching my life on a screen Hello Victoria so glad to see you My friend. |

Fatal Tragedy
Music by Dream Theater Lyrics by John Myung Nicholas: Alone at night I feel so strange I need to find All the answers to my dreams When I sleep at night I hear the cries What does this mean? I shut the door and traveled to another home I met an older man, he seemed to be alone I felt that I could trust him He talked to me that night; "Lad did you know a girl was murdered here?" "This fatal tragedy was talked about for years" Victoria's gone forever Only memories remain She passed away She was so young Without love Without truth There can be no turning back Without faith Without hope There can be no peace of mind As the night went on I started to find my way I learned about a tragedy A mystery still today I tried to get more answers But he said, "You're on your own." Then he turned away and left me As I stand there all alone He said, "You'll know the truth As you future days unfold" Without love Without truth There can be no turning back Without faith Without hope There can be no peace of mind Hypnotherapist: "Now it is time to see how you died. Remember that death is not the end but only a transition." |

Headline: "Murder, young girl killed
Desperate shooting at Echo's Hill Dreadful ending, killer died Evidently suicide." A witness heard a horrifying sound He ran to find a woman dead and Lying on the ground Standing by her was a man Nervous, shaking, gun in hand Witness says he tried to help But he'd turned the weapon on himself His body fell across that poor young girl After shouting out in vain The witness ran to call for assistance A sad close to a broken love affair Our deeds have traveled far What we have been is what we are Our deeds have traveled far What we have been is what we are She wanted love forever But he had another plan He fell into an evil way She had to let him down She said, "I can't love a wayward man." She may have found a reason to forgive If he had only tried to change Was their fatal meeting prearranged? Had a violent struggle taken place? There was every sign that lead there Witness found a switchblade on the ground Was the victim unaware? They continued to investigate They found a note in the killer's pocket It could have been a suicide letter Maybe he had lost her love I feel there's only one thing left to do I'd sooner take my life away Than live with losing you Our deeds have traveled far What we have been is what we are Our deeds have traveled far What we have been is what we are All that we learn this time (What we have been is what we are) Is carried beyond this life All that we learn this time (What we have been is what we are) Is carried beyond this life Our deeds have traveled far What we have been is what we are Our deeds have traveled far What we have been is what we are All that we learn this time (What we have been is what we are) Is carried beyond this life All that we learn this time (What we have been is what we are) Is carried beyond this life |

She never really had a chance
On that fateful moonlit night Sacrificed without a fight A victim of her circumstance Now that I've become aware And I've exposed this tragedy A sadness grows inside of me It all seems so unfair I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes Just beyond the churchyard gates Where the grass is overgrown I saw the writing on her stone I felt like I would suffocate In loving memory of our child So innocent, eyes open wide I felt so empty as I cried Like part of me had died I'm learning all about my life By looking through her eyes And as her image Wandered through my head I wept just like a baby As I lay awake in bed And I know what it's like To lose someone you love And this felt just the same She wasn't given any choice Desperation stole her voice I've been given so much more in life I've got a son, I've got a wife I had to suffer one last time To grieve for her and say goodbye Relive the anguish of my past To find out who I was at last The door has opened wide I'm turning with the tide Looking through her eyes |

Lines take me higher My mind drips desire Confined and overtired Living this charade Is getting me nowhere I can't shake this charade The city's cold blood calls me home Home It's what I long for Back homewhere I belong The city- it calls to me Decadent scenes from my memory Sorrow- eternity My demons are coming to drown me Help- I'm falling, I'm crawling I can't keep away from its clutch Can't have it, this habit It's calling me back to my home I remember the first time she came to me Poured her soul out all night and cried I remember I was told there's a new love that's born For each one that has died I never thought that I Could carry on with this life But I can't resist myself No matter how hard I try Living their other life Is getting them nowhere I'll make her my wife Her sweet temptation calls me home Home It's what I long for My homewhere she belongs Her ecstasy- means so much to me Even decieving my own blood Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles She's taking me to my home Help- he's my brother, but I love her I can't keep away from her touch Deception, dishonor It's calling me back to my home Her story- it holds the key Unlocking dreams from my memory Solving this mystery Is everything that is a part of me Help- regression, obsession I can't keep away from her touch Leave no doubt, to find out It's calling me back to my home |

It doesn't make any sense
This tragic ending In spite of the evidence There's something still missing Heard some of the rumors told A taste of one's wealth Did Victoria wound his soul? Did she bid him farewell? One last time We'll lay down today One last time Until we fade away One last time We'll lay down today One last time We slowly fade away Here I am inside his home It holds the many clues To my suspicions And as I'm standing here right now I'm finally shown what I have always known Coincidence I can't believe As my childhood dreams slowly come true Are these her memories Awakened through my eyes This house has brought back to life An open door I walk on through Into his bedroom Feeling as cold as outside The walls disappear To some woman who's screaming A man pleads forgiveness His words I cannot hear |

"You are once again surrounded by a brilliant white light. Allow the
light to lead you away from your past and into this lifetime. As the light dissipates you will slowly fade back into consciousness remembering all you have learned. When I tell you to open your eyes you will return to the present, feeling peaceful and refreshed. Open your eyes, Nicholas." Friday evening The blood still on my hands To think that she would leave me now For that ungrateful man Sole survivor No witness to the crime I must act fast to cover up I think that there's still time He'd seem hopeless and lost with this note They'll buy into the words that I wrote "This feeling inside me Finally found my love, I've finally broke free No longer torn in two I'd take my own life before losing you" Feeling good this Friday afternoon I ran into Julian Said we'd get together soon He's always had my heart He needs to know I'll break free of the Miracle It's time for him to go This feeling inside me Finally found my love, I've finally broke free No longer torn in two He'd kill his brother if he only knew Their love renewed They'd rendezvous In a pathway out of view They thought no one knew Then came a shot out of the night One last time We'll lay down today One last time Until we fade away One last time We'll lay down today One last time We fade away As their bodies lie still And the ending draws near Spirits rise through the air All their fears disappear, it all becomes clear A blinding light comes into view An old soul exchanged for a new A familiar voice comes shining through This feeling inside me Finally found my life, I'm finally free No longer torn in two I learned about my life by living through you This feeling inside me Finally found my life, I'm finally free No longer torn in two Living my own life by learning from you We'll meet again my friend someday soon "news in London, France, Russia and Italy have deleted their lead story, all anticipating the outcome of the man considered to be a member of American nobility.

You cannot touch The way I Play Or tell me what to say You're in the way Of all that I believe in Takin' in the view from the outside Feeling like the underdog Watching through the window I'm on the outside Living like the underdog I've been wasting my breath on you Open minds will descend upon you To those who understand, I extend my hand To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am Not under your command, I know where I stand I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am |

Hello, Mirror -
so glad to see you my friend, it's been a while Searching, Fearless - where do I begin to heal this wound of self- denial Face yourself man! Brace yourself and trace your hell back You've been blinded, living lie a one way cold existence all the while Now it's time to stare the problem right between the eyes you long lost child I wanna feel your body breaking Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold I want to heal your conscience making a change o fix this dying soul Born into this world a broken home Surrounded by love yet all alone Forced into a life that's split in two A mother and a father both pulling you Then you had to deal with loss and death Everybody thinking they know best Coping with this shit at such an age Can only fill a kid with pain and rage Family disease pumped through your blood Never had the chance you thought you could Running all the while with no escape Turning all that pain in to blame and hate Living on your own by twenty one Not a single care and having fun Consuming all the life in front of you Burning out the fuse and smoking the residue Possessive obsessions selfish childish games Vengeful resentments Passing all the blame Living out a life of decadence Acing without thought of consequence Spreading all your lies from coast to coast While spitting on the ones that matter most Running power mad with no control Fighting for the credit they once stole No one can ever tell you what to do Ruling other's lives while the can't stand the thought of you A living reflection seen from miles away A hopeless affliction having run astray I wanna feel your body breaking Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold I want to heal your conscience making a change o fix this dying soul Now that you can see all you have done It's time to take that step into the kingdom All your sins will only make you strong And help you break right through the prison wall Come to me my friend (Listen to me) I'll help this torture end (Help to set me free) Let your ego go (I can't carry this load) You can't go through this alone (I feel so hopeless and exposed) You'll find your peace of mind (Give me some direction) You can no longer hide (Break out of this isolation) Let humility (Openness, honesty) And become what you can be (A healing tranquility) Help me Save me Heal me I can't break out of this prison all alone These tormenting ghosts of yesterday Will vanish when exposed You can't hold onto your secrets They'll only send you back alone Your fearless admissions Will help expel your destructive obsessions With my help I know you can Be at one with God and man Hear me Believe me Take me I'm ready to break right through this prison wall |

Cold
Lying in my bed Staring into darkness Lost I hear footsteps overhead And my thoughts return Again Like a child who's run away And won't be coming back Time keeps passing by As night turns into day I'm so far away And so alone I need to see your face To keep me sane To make we whole Try to stay alive Until I hear your voice I'm gonna lose my mind Someone tell me why I chose this life This superficial le Constant compromise Endless sacrifice Pain It saddens me to know The helplessness you feel Your light Shines on my soul While a thousand candles Burn Outside this barren room The rain is pouring down The emptiness inside Is growing deeper still You're so far away And so alone You long for love's embrace To keep you sane To make you whole Try to stay alive Until I hear your voice I'm gonna lose my mind Someone tell me why I chose this life This superficial lie Constant compromise Endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice Over the distance We try to make sense Of surviving together While living apart Striving for balance We rise to the challenge Of staying connected In spite of circumstance All you've forsaken And all that you've done So that I could live out This undying dream Won't be forgotten Or taken for granted I'll always remember Your endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice Moments wasted Isolated Time escaping Endless sacrifice |

We're taught unconditional love
That blood is thicker than water That a parent's world would revolve Always around their son or their daughter You pretend I was your own And even believed that you loved me But were always threatened by some Invisible blood line that only you could see You took advantage of an outreached hand And twisted it to meet your every need ''Gimme time to re-charge my batteries, I'll see her when she's older and I'll bounce her on my knee'' Well listen to me you ungrateful fool Her comes a dose of reality You'll go to your grave a sad and lonely man The door is now closed on your pathetic little plan On and on and on an don it goes It's so easy to run away with nothing in tow How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the nerve to blame this mess on me Never in my life have I seen someone So Ignorant to the damage he has done You're the rotted root in the family tree I tried your 4 bill therapy I tried to make amends But nothing could lure you out of your selfish shell again Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet Don't you see respect is not a one way street Blaming everyone for all that you've don e wrong I'll get my peace of mind when you hear this song On and on and on and on it goes And with every passing day true colors show How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the balls to blame this mess on me Never in my life have I seen someone Oblivious to the damage he has done You're the rotted root in the family tree Watch where you walk Don't you dare cross the crooked step Watch the way you talk Don't cross the crooked step On and on and on and on it goes Chauvinistic, heartless, selfish, cold How can you ever sleep a wink at night Pretending that everything is alright And have the balls to blame this shit on me Never in my life have I seen someone So fucking blind to the damage he has done You're the rotted root in the family tree |

How can this be?
Why is he the chosen one? Saint gone astray With a scepter and a gun Learn to believe In the might and the strong Come bleed the beast Follow me it won't be long Listen when the prophet Speaks to you Killing in the name of God Passion Twisting faith into violence In the name of God Straight is the path Leading to your salvation Slaying the weak Ethnic elimination Any day we'll all be Swept away You'll be saved As long as you obey Lies Tools of the devil inside Written in Holy disguise Meant to deceive and divide Us all Listen when the prophet Speaks to you Killing in the name of God Passion Twisting faith into violence In the name of God Blurring the lines Between virtue and sin They can't tell Where God ends And mankind begins They know no other Life but this From the cradle They are claimed Listen when the prophet Speaks to you Killing in the name of God Passion Twisting faith into violence In the name of God Hundreds of believers Lured into a doomsday cult All would perish In the name of God Self-proclaimed messiah Led his servants To their death Eighty murdered In the name of God Forty sons and daughters Un-consenting plural wives Perversions In the name of God Underground religion Turning toward The mainstream light Blind devotion In the name of God Justifying violence Citing from the Holy Book Teaching hatred In the name of God Listen when the prophet Speaks to you Killing in the name of God Passion Twisting faith into violence In the name of God Religious beliefs Fanatic obsession Does following faith Lead us to violence? Unyielding crusade Divine revelation Does following faith Lead us to violence? |

Six o'clock the siren kicks him from a dream Tries to shake it off but it just won't stop Can't find the strength but he's got promises to keep And wood to chop before he sleeps I may never get over but never's better than now I've got bases to cover He's in the parking lot and he's just sitting in his car It's nine o'clock but he can't get out He lights a cigarette and turns the music down but just can't seem to shake that sound Once I thought I'd get over but it's too late for me now I've got bases to cover Melody walks through the door and memory flies out the window and nobody knows what they want 'til they finally let it all go The pain inside coming outside So many ways to drown a man So many ways to drag him down Some are fast and some take years and years Can't hear what he's saying when he's talking in his sleep He finally found the sound but he's in too deep I could never get over Is it too late for me now? Feel like blowing my cover Melody walks through the door and memory flies out the window and nobody knows what they want 'til they finally let it all go But don't cut your losses too soon 'cause you'll only be cutting your throat And answer a call while you still hear at all 'cause nobody will if you won't

SCARRED
Lyrics: John Petrucci Music: Dream Theater To Rise, To Fall. To Hurt, To Hate. To Want, To Wait. To Heal, To Save. Can't hear it. we fear it awareness won't come near it Distractive Reactive Disguised in spite of time I never bared my emotions My passion always strong I never lost my devotion but somewhere fate went wrong Can't let them rape me again Your venom's not family here won't let them fill me with fatalistic remedies What if the rest of the world was hopelessly blinded by fear? Where would my sanctity live? Suddenly nobody cares. It's never enough you're wasting your time isn't there something I could say? You don't understand You're closing me out How can we live our lives this way? You tell me I'm wrong I'm risking my life Still, I have nothing in return I show you my hands You don't see the scars Maybe you'll leave me here to burn. What if the rest of the world was hopelessly drowning in vain? Where would our self pity run? Suddenly everyone cares, Blood...Heal me Fear...Change me Belief will always save me Blood...Swearing Fear...Staring Conviction made aware Give up on misery Turn your back on dissent Leave their distrust behind Wash your hands of regret Do you feel you don't know me anymore? And do you feel I'm afraid of your love? And how come you don't want me asking? And how come my heart's not invited? You say you want everyone happy Well, we're not laughing. And how come you don't understand me? And how come I don't understand you? Thirty years say we're in this together So open your eyes. People in prayer for me everyone there for me Sometimes I feel I should face this alone My soul exposed It calms me to know that I won't Blood...Heal me Fear...Change me Belief will always save me Blood...Swearing Fear...Staring Conviction made aware Give up on misery Turn your back on dissent Leave their distrust behind Wash your hands of regret Blood...Heal me Fear...Change me Belief will always save me Blood...Swearing Fear...Staring Conviction made aware Learning from misery Staring back at dissent Leaving distrust behind I'm inspired and content |

Temptation- why won't you leave me alone? Lurking Every Corner, everywhere I go -Self Control- Don't turn your back on me now When I need you most Constant pressure tests my will My will or my wont My Self Control escapes from me still .... Hypocrite- How could you be so cruel and expect my faith in return? -Resistance- Is not as hard as it seems When you close the door I spent so long trusting in you I trust you forgot Just when I thought I believed in you... It's time for me to deal Becoming all too real living in fear,- Why did you lie and pretend? This has come to an end I'll never trust you again It's time you made your amends Look in the mirror my friend Let's stare the problem right in the eye It's plagued me from coast to coast Racing the clock to please everyone All but the one who matters the most Reflections of reality are slowly coming into view How in the hell could you possibly forgive me? After the hell I put you through It's time for me to deal Becoming all too real living in fear Why'd I betray my friend? Lying until the end Living life so pretend It's time to make my amends I'll never hurt you again |

Silence disguised I watch you Show me the hurt that haunts you would you despise the thrill If all you hide were mine? I can't hold on any longer These feelings keep growing stronger Echoes that deafen the mind will bury my voice in their wake Caught in a Web Removed from the world Hanging on by a thread Spinning the lies devised in my head I've seen the path the one you take shows the truth for you to make This turn of phrase we might not see is the thirst of desire found so easily Try to push me 'round the world some more And make me live in fear I bare all that I am made of now Attractive I don't care 'Cause even when I danced with life no one was there to share Does this voice the wounds of your soul? Caught in a Web Removed from the world Hanging on by a thread Spinning the lies devised in my head Tried to live the life you live and saw It doesn't work for me I bare all that I am made of now Attractive, I can't be Inside the Dance of Life is one I'll never hold to me You can't heal the wounds of my soul. Caught in a Web Removed from the world Hanging on by a thread Spinning the lies devised in my head Caught in a Web Refused by the world Hanging on by a thread Spinning a cage Denied and misread |

'Love, just don't stare'
He used to say to me every Sunday morning The spider in the window The angel in the pool The old man takes the poison Now the widow makes the rules 'So speak, I'm right here' She used to say to me not a word, not a word Judas on the ceiling the Devil in my bed I guess Easter's never coming So I'll just wait inside my head Like a scream but sort of silent living off my nightmares Voices repeating me 'Feeling threatened? We reflect your hopes and fears.' Voices discussing me 'Others steal your thoughts they're not confined within your mind.' Thought disorder Dream control Now they read my mind on the radio But where was the Garden of Eden? I feel elated I feel depressed Sex is death, Death is sex Says it right here on my Crucifix Like a scream but sort of silent living off my nightmares Voices protecting me 'Good behavior brings the Savior to his knees.' Voices rejecting me 'Others steal your thoughts they're not confined to your own mind.' 'I don't wanna be here, 'cause of my [Dialogue by rap artist Prix-mo ] suffering, 'cause of my illness. [reading from the book 'Cultural ] Only love is worth having, only [Revolution'. ] love is what matters, loving every people on equal terms. ' 'You've got to know who you're dealin' with because, like a stranger, a-heh, just might come in through here with a gun... and then, what would you do? (Heh.)' 'Everything is immaterial...' ''n' you know that reality is immaterial.' 'This is not reality...' I'm kneeling on the floor staring at the wall like the spider in the window I wish that I could speak Is there fantasy in refuge? God in politicians? Should I turn on my religion? These demons in my head tell me to I'm lying here in bed Swear my skin is inside out Just another Sunday morning Seen my diary on the newsstand Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand It's a shame no one is praying 'Cause these voices in my head keep saying... 'Love, just don't stare.' 'Reveal the Word when you're supposed to' Withdrawn and introverted Infectiously perverted 'Being laughed at and confused keeps us pleasantly amused enough to stay.' Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting Twentieth century Icon bleeding Willing to risk Salvation to escape from isolation I'm witness to redemption heard you speak but never listened Can you rid me of my secrets? Deliver us from Darkness? Voices repeating me 'Feeling threatened? We reflect your hopes and fears.' Voices discussing me Don't expect your own Messiah This neverworld which you desire is only in your mind. |

A question well served,
'Is silence like a fever?' 'A voice never heard?' 'Or a message with no receiver?' Pray they won't ask Behind the stained glass There's always one more mask Has man been a victim of his woman, of his father? if he elects not to bother, will he suffocate their faith? Desperate to fall Behind the Great Wall That separates us all When there is reason Tonight I'm Awake when there's no answer Arrive the Silent Man If there is balance tonight He's Awake If they have to suffer There lies the Silent Man Sin without deceivers A God with no believers I could sail by on the Winds of Silence And maybe they won't notice But this time I think It'd be better if I swim When there is reason Tonight I'm Awake When there's no answer Arrive the Silent Man If there's balance Tonight he's Awake If they have to suffer There lies the Silent Man |

Animation breathes a cloudless mind Fascination leaves the doubting blind Until the circle breaks and wisdom lies ahead the faithful live Awake the rest remain misled Some will transcend spinning years One as if time disappears Innocence faded the mirror falls behind you Trinity jaded I break down walls to find you Callow and vain fixed like a fossil, shrouding pain Passionless stage Distant like brothers Wearing apathetic displays Sharing flesh like envy in cages Condescending Not intending to end Some will transcend spinning years One as if time disappears Innocence faded the mirror falls behind you Trinity jaded I break down walls to find you Beginnings get complicated the farther we progress Opinions are calculated Immune to openness Beyond the circle's edge We're driven by her blessings Forever hesitating Caught beneath the wheel Innocence faded the mirror falls behind you Cynically jaded The child will crawl to find you. |

A single star behind me
A red sky burns ahead A lonely light below me Awake among the dead An overwhelming feeling Leaves me numb and strange A sense of new beginning I sense a wind of change Out with the old useless People so cold ruthless Welcome in a new millennium How many times must I Live out this nightmare I Can't wait until a new millennium I've got this feeling The tide is turning now baby Funny feeling Everything's gonna be alright now Living out a constant deja vu Keep your head up Please be patient we will get to you Keep your head up Just have some faith and you can see it through Keep your head up But faith don't pay the rent that's overdue Keep your head up All that's glittering is turning blue Keep your head up What they want from me ain't gotta clue Keep your head up Swallow pride before it swallows you Keep your head up Don't dare bite the hand that's starving you Keep your head up How can you keep your head And not go insane When the only light at the end Of the tunnel is another train Lies ten feet tall Have broken my fall Welcome you all new millennium It's well overdue And I can't wait to Welcome in a new millennium I've got this feeling The tide is turning now baby Funny feeling Everything's gonna be alright now |

Being round you is driving me crazy
Watching you run is making me lazy You're trying to buy a place in my head Telling me lines I've already read Speaking my name to try to confuse me Say it again you're starting to lose me That's alright I'm okay It happens every single day It's all the same But I'm not blind It's all about you not me It's all about the things That you're expecting me to be There's not enough time to live And all that you're expecting me to give It's all about you not me It's all about you not me You're building my prison brick by brick Eating your words is making me sick You get what you want Cause nothing is sacred You're reading my mind And leaving me naked You say I gotta give before I receive it One of these days I'll believe it. It's all about you not me It's all about the things That you're expecting me to be There's not enough time to live And all that you're expecting me to give It's all about you not me It's all about you not me That's alright I'm okay It happens every single day It's all the same But I'm not blind It's all about you not me It's all about the things That you're expecting me to be There's not enough time to live And all that you're expecting me to give It's all about you not me It's all about you not me It's all about you not me |

I swear he's gonna murder that poor kid Wait, I hear it again Don't turn on the lights until we Hear the way it ends Under Peruvian skies Vanessa regretfully waits The story unfolds in her eyes Where midnight hysteria's No big surprise Battered and bruised Always confusing The love that she's losing for hate Poor Vanessa Poor, poor Vanessa Hey, I hope you know I'm taking all of this with me when I go Shame, you're not to blame I'm the monster you created In your daddy's name Under Peruvian skies Vanessa regretfully waits The story unfolds in her eyes Where midnight hysteria's No big surprise Battered and bruised Always confusing The love that she's losing for hate Poor Vanessa Poor Vanessa Terror by night Liar by day Telling her secrets Won't take them away Under Peruvian skies Vanessa regretfully waits The story unfolds in her eyes Where midnight hysteria's No big surprise Battered and bruised Always confusing The love that she's losing for hate |

He's just the kind of man
You hear about Who leaves his family for An easy out They never saw the signs He never said a word He couldn't take another day Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone You're crawling under Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining Over your head disappears The noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of Hollow Years She's not the kind of girl You hear about She'll never want another She'll never be without She'll give you all the signs She'll tell you everything Then turn around and walk away Once the stone You're crawling under Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining Over your head disappears The noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of Hollow Years Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone You're crawling under Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining Over your head disappears The noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of Hollow Years |

A thorn in my side, a chip on my shoulder
A lump in my throat, the size of a boulder The chill up my spine, can't get any colder And you wonder why I can't smile A knot in my gut, an ape on my back In the heat of the moment I'm knocked off the track You drop the ball, I pick up the slack And you ask me why my hair's gray Twisting, turning Losing all sense of yearning Living and learning The pressure keeps on burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul I say it's green and then you tell me it's red Keep your thoughts and ideas Locked inside of your head We've got someone Who can think for you instead And he sounds just like the last one Twisting, turning Losing all sense of yearning Living and learning The pressure keeps on burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Responsible thinkers Throw caution to the wind But I find myself Speaking from within I can't live my life Walking on eggshells To stay on your good side Using your words Controlling my life Can't you see it's my words That gives you your life So I hurt your feelings Well I'm really sorry But I don't give a shit, no... Twisting, turning Losing all sense of yearning Living and learning The pressure keeps on burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul Burning my soul, yeah |
