Foolish Me
04:16
|

I was a fool to think i could get a job
I was a fool to think that things would work out
I was a fool to expect life work for me
I was a fool and now everyone can see
I was a fool to believe in myself
I was a fool to buy into all those lies
And the bullets goin' far
Rica-shades against my heart
And if life is really a game
Whose the one controlling my fate..
I was a fool to think i was able to sing
I was a fool to think people would listen to me
I was a tool or a puppet nonetheless
Controlling my moves to bring failure at his desk..
Disappointed in breath
Disappointed in my air
Disappointed with no help
Disappointed in my self..
Bullets fired at the start
Rica-shades against my heart
And now i cant seem to escape the loneliness
Drains my light until its dim
Drains my light until its dim
I was a fool to think it would work out.

I know, exactly where to go
But i just can't seem to find the time, or the place
I need to get back on track
And once i start heading down that path, theres no going back.
The ravenous ways these people all have lived, won't set me free.
The compass will direct me where to go, and what ill need.
I need to get back on track
And once i start heading on that path, theres no going back
Goodbye, see you later..
Its starting to settle in
The fear of not knowing when and where to begin
It rears it's ugly head
Telling me there's no point other than to just, lay in bed.
I bet If misery had a king, i'd have the crown
But hope is gonna be where i reside,
Safe and sound.
Goodbye, see you later.. (x2)
I know, exactly where to go.
I Believe the time has finally come,To be free.

Desperate
03:43
|

Desperate cus' i needed the change
Desperate for a call and a name
Searching but theres nothing to find
Emptiness and shallow in mind
Hoping but theres nothing in hope
Tired but with no place to go
Crying but the tears are inside
Emptiness and shallow in mind
Then the time comes when working in vain
Becomes parallel with going insane
Then i try to find a different way
But the results will always just end up in pain
Now im trapped in here with nowhere to go.
And no way to breath..
Desperate cus i needed the love
Hoping for the aid from above
Desperate cus i wanted to feel
Desperate but i thought it was real
I try not to get ahead of myself
Even though i'm behind everyone else
Then i take the time to stare at the sun
Remind myself of the wrong that i've done
Then i start to examine the pain
And it's magical..
Desperate cus i needed the love
Hoping for the aid from above
Desperate cus i wanted to feel
Desperate but i thought it was real
Now i'm lying on a hospital bed
Medicated on the kind words you said
My colors gone and my health is real low
But my beating heart still gives out a glow
So if pain can be a source of delight
Then it'll give me more incentive to fight
So ill never be unhappy again. And It'll be magical..

Suffer Silently
07:07
|
|||
I know i'm going down but i don't know the date
Some people might say they think its better if i wait.
But what if patience, isn't a factor?
When everything else, doesn't matter.
And now you hunger, for solitude.
Just leave it alone...
Then they give you these pills..
Hoping you will succeed
But it's a waste of time they'll soon see
And you're putting up this front
Acting like nothings the matter
Hoping they wont see through your disguise, of lies...
Another day goes by as i remain un phased
Trying to express myself in many different ways
But every time, it never ends up well
I think ill stay here, Inside this shell
That countless of times, ive been trying to break, ill just leave it alone...
And you put on that smile
Like your putting on a hat
You take it off when no one else is around..
Maybe you'll come around
Or maybe you're just, a clown
You're merely there to make other people laugh, at your pain...
But maybe its all too soon
maybe its not too late
To believe in a little something, called hope.
Or maybe i'm stuck inside
This indestructible shell
And maybe ill continue to suffer silently... In this hell

Survive
04:56

Precious baby you were just born today. You've got a whole lotta livin' to do
You'll soon find out people are filled with apathy. And here is the unbearable truth..
The worlds gonna eat you up.
Gonna rip off all your clothes and leave you naked and afraid.
Theyre gonna tear you apart
Gonna vandalize your heart and leave you stranded in the dark
I know that everything seems pretty now
But the ugliness will reveal itself soon
Cuz people they walk around with dark clouds
And have holes on them like the surface of the moon
They'll soon be after your intelligence
And try undermine everything you do
And if you wont fall for their impudence
They'll find other ways to take full advantage of you..
The worlds gonna eat you up
Gonna rip off your clothes and leave you naked and afraid
Theyre gonna tear you apart.
Gonna vandalize your heart and leave you stranded in the dark
The worlds gonna eat you up
Gonna stab you with its blade
And give you scars you cant erase
They're gonna tear you apart
Gonna leave you all alone and have you begging for their food
Gonna try to find other ways they can use to torture you
Even though all this is true there is one thing you need to do..
You gotta survive (x 10)

Used To Be
02:50
|

I used to be the person that was depressed
I used to be the person that got no rest
I used to see the person i thought was dead
But now i see that i'm alive again
The pillars that i built, i watched them as they fell
But now i'm gonna rebuild them high again.
But this time i will fight,
To keep them standing tall
I will not have my back up against the wall.
I used to be the person that sought no help
I used to be the person all by his-self
I used to do things wrong and not one thing right
But now i see that hope has shined its light.
I'm not gonna die..
I will not meet demise
I'm gonna stand on my own two feet.
Watch me as i turn
Now a soldiers born
One that's gonna fight until the battles done
I used to be the person i thought was bad
But now i see the good things that i have.

Are You The One?
04:15
|
|||
Till not too long ago,
I had this great desire to find the right girl
She could be a diva, or a simple dairy-queen ya know it doesn't even matter to me.
A story of love
I'm destined to tell
Because the stoty of pain
I know it too well, i said i
Must be in a
Relationship hell
because i've yet to find someone i like..
If i could just find one, girl,
To call my own
Like a butterfly, she'll be the most precious kind
If i could find a way to make her stay, then all the dreams will go away!
If i could just find one, ill be free...
Feeling betrayed, loves not a game,
She Should be ashamed, to have me claimed
I know that I messed up, and what i did wasn't right.
But just give me another chance, let me see what love is like..
If i could just find one, girl,
What to call my own,
Like the sunny sky, ill be without a dark cloud.
If i could find a way to make her stay, then all the pain will go away!
If i could just find one.. Ill be free..
If i could just find one, girl,
To call my own, just a person i trust, a person, i wouldn't want to live without
If i could give her my heart today,
She'll make the demons go away! If i could just find one.. Ill be, free.
could you be the one?

What I Need To Go Away
03:32
|
|||
Ill take my ticket for the plane
Then ill have what I need to go away
Ill have my guitar strapped my back
And set my iPod set to my favorite track.
Ill travel far away from home
To a place where i can be alone
I'll write a note before i go
Then grab some money for the toll
Ill sing a song that's in my head
Then grab a notebook and a pen
Although the destinations unknown
At least i'll be far away from home
Can't forget the music to mask the pain
Now i have what i need to go away.

Love Sick
07:53
|
|||
Something about the way she wrote those words to me
gave the impression of her being close to me
and I still wonder why we believed
were we really in love or were we just naive?
we suffered a fall from grace
could never attain that taste
no matter how hard we tried
it will always be that way
when a relationship is broken into two
attempts are futile as we try to evade the truth..
And I... Used to love her
but not any more
I used to feel her breath
grace me like the breeze of the ocean shore
The gap between us was the wall that held us back
we tried to break it down but it still remained in tact
and I still wonder how we believed
that some way some how both of our paths would meet
well, the love we had fogged our brains
could never attain that taste
no matter how hard we tried
it would always be that way
and even though I decided to leave her by herself
I still find it hard picturing her with someone else...
Cause I... Used to love her
but not anymore
I used to feel her breath
grace me like the breeze of the ocean shore...
Saw you in a daze
the scenery was filled with ash
brittled memories
and relics from my past
and she came charging at me
like a dog without it's leach
so now I see the truth
that beauty is the beast
Forever in this empty shell I call a home
Forever in this crooked world I shall roam
Forever watering these seeds which I have sown
Forever damaged and forever alone...
And she... Used to love me
But those days are gone
she used to touch my heart
while my lips were singing a lovely song..

Bring Me Down
04:23
|
|||
All you ever do is bring me down x3
And I hate to be brought down
I feel like ive climbed every hill
I feel like ive swallowed every pill
I feel like ive followed every drill
And i remain useless to you still!
Ive been on a road to no success
As much as i continue to digress
You proceed to value me less and less
Its unfair and makes no sense!
all you ever do is bring me down (x3)and i hate to be brought down
Suffering from insecurity
The only place i was meant to be
Why cant you ever commend me
For the things that i cant see?
My open mind will never be closed
My weaknesses are always exposed
Will it ever change no one knows
Into the darkness i will go!
Cuz all you ever do is bring me down
Maybe i'm a game without a prize
Maybe i'm a failure in your eyes
Maybe i should just meet my demise
Is this what you want me to realize?
I guess the results all end the same
You stuffing my face with all my shame
I don't know why i even complain
Because i'm useless either way!
And all you ever do is bring me down
(Solo)
All you ever do is bring me down

Galloping Horses
05:13
|

The season is coming to fulfill the work of his hands
Like galloping horses they spread wisdom throughout the land
They speak different tongues
And in ways we can all understand
They use illustrations and creating pictures in your head
They get all their wisdom from a book filled with stories of old
He gives clear direction and helps them know just where to go
They scale through the mountains
Enduring harsh winds and snow
He gives them the spirit and love that will help them to grow
Preparing his people and helping them do what is right
They sing songs of praise and they thank him for giving them life
They challenge the demons and
Fight till the end to survive
They suffer the blows and the water will pour from their eyes
But truth and justice will help them
Endure in the fight
Their galloping endlessly hoping to rescue the lives
The galloping horses help fulfill the work of his hands.

Give Me a Sign
03:37
|
|||
Although i walk.. With a limp
And i talk.. With a lisp
Just give me a sign!
Give me a sign!
And though you're out... When im in
And you're in.. When i'm out
But just give me a sign!
Give me a sign!
And now i know.. That you fear
To be my own.. Souvenir
Still just give me a sign!
Give me a sign!
And though you like.. What you see
But what you see.. Isn't me
But still give me a sign!
Give me a sign!
You'll tell me it's false.. When it's true
But i wont.. Be a fool
So just give me a sign!
Give me a sign!
I know a place... We can go
We can take.. Off our clothes
But all i need is a sign!
Give me a sign!
And i know what love.. Is about
It's about taking you out
So just give me a sign!
Give me a sign!

Sophie's Song
02:52

Out of sight
Out of line
Out of mind and out of time
But never will we be out of love
Now we see that you are born
And forever we are sworn
To care for you the rest of our lives
The dark clouds pour rain once more
They volcanoes erupt, the waves onto the shore
But your smile and glimmering eyes
Penetrate the cloudy skies
And brings sunshine upon us all
Were living in a dangerous world
A world thats so unfit, for little boys and girls
But don't you worry a hair
Well protect you anywhere
They'll never lay a finger on you
Were Out of sight
Out of line
Out of mind and out of time
But never will we ever be out of love
And Now we see this beauty's born
And forever we are sworn
To care for you the rest of our lives.

Stained Lover
06:10
|
|||
Living off the edges of a dark highway
Emptiness and sorrow are my best friends
Ive switched the lanes, traveled through time and space but the destination always remained the same.
Most my life i was told i was plain useless
Their words hit my like stabs from a sword
Injecting my head filled with thoughts of dread making it harder for me to believe I can be adored.
I see that the pain you have can be overbearing
And you've been suffering for far too long
And if you wanna be with me my little stained lover,
Well don't you worry about a thing i'm on my way...
You think you can repair whats been so damaged?
Take your love and burn it to the ground
Id rather stay in a confined place where i know i will be safe and sound.
Theres not a single soul that can
Heal the wounded
Your kind words mean nothing to me now
You think you can you say you will, well id like to see you try and show me how...
There must be a reason why you are so damaged
Well you've been suffering for far too long
So if you wanna be with me my little stained lover
Well don't you worry about a thing i'm on my way..
I'm on my way x4
So if you wanna be with me my little stained lover, well don't you worry about a thing i'm on my way.

It'll All Be Over Soon
05:13
|

I've fought everything..
I've endured everything..
I gave it all my best..
The time has come to rest..
Ive seen it all before..
Down a familiar course..
Candles lit the path..
With red flowers attached..
Guided by his voice..
He showed me where to go..
Off to find a home..
Off to the unknown..
It'll all be over soon..
The clouds will passover you..
You'll see a bright blue sky..
You'll begin a brand new life..
