I Used To Feel All Alone 04:56
lyrics
buy track
I used to feel all alone I was always on my own You came to me as if a dream A variation on my theme And now I sing a different song When I hold you close to me I want to stay eternally And let you sink into me When I’m here I can’t let go I’m lost in you, I lose control And you sink into me Here beneath the Northern Lights In her eyes is all that’s right Absent are my afflictions You’re my new addition And it’s the greatest high because When I hold you close to me I want to stay eternally And let you sink into me When I’m here I can’t let go I lose myself, I lose control And you sink into me No more emptiness inside No longer do I search for something more Colors invade what once was dark Her aura radiates into my core She’s opened up a door I used to feel all alone I used to be on my own But now the stars are shining bright Illuminating the whole night I wish I may, I wish I might

Just Close Your Eyes 03:38
lyrics

I never wanted you to cry or be upset And there’s no need to worry about the world just yet Close your eyes dear, nothing can harm you now I’m here for you, I’m watching you, and I’ll protect you now Just close your eyes my dear, and dream forever Just wipe away your tears, you’ll live forever Just leave the past behind you, it’s all forgotten now There’s nothing here to harm you, nothing can bring you down Close you eyes dear, and just forget your pain It’s all okay because tomorrow is another day Just close your eyes my dear, and dream forever Just wipe away your tears, you’ll live forever Just dream another dream, we’re safe together Just dream another dream, you’ll live forever I will be there when you need I am watching silently Slip inside your dream domain All you need is in your name Just let go all of your fears, it’s time to be bold Just relax all your tensions, and let your mind take hold Close your eyes dear…

Without You 03:31
lyrics

I live in uncertainty, live with my pain Because when my eyes are close, I still see your face I want what I cannot have, what will never be You’re meant for someone else, not meant for… Oh no, here comes those feelings again I can’t pretend that it’s going to end I know it won’t work out in the end But I can’t live without you I can’t pretend to be something I’m not All I can give you is all that I’ve got I’ve given my everything with nothing to show I wish I could just move on, but I can’t let…

Scars 04:11
lyrics
buy track
By day she plays an angel But a devil steals her dreams each night. She feels a bit unstable But when I ask she’ll say everything’s alright. She can’t figure out what it’s all about. She’s trapped in her head and she can’t get out. I try to find a way to brighten up her day. She turns to me and she says: “These scars go deeper than they seem There’s more to me than what you see These scars do deeper than they appear I’ve got to find a way out of here.” She’s everybody’s sweetheart She’s the perfect girl we all dream about. But her lie’s tearing her apart She doesn’t know how to let her frustrations out. She wears a mask, and she’s fading fast. She’s getting buried in the past. It cuts like a knife: her hatred for her life. She turns to me and she says: “These scars go deeper than they seem There’s more to me than what you see These scars go deeper than they appear I’ve got to find a way out of here. But I think I’m going to be okay I’ve found a way to make the pain go away I’ve found a friend that understands my needs.” So she opens up and confides in me…

Save Me 05:41
lyrics

Walk with me tonight Into the shadows, into the light Talk with me tonight I’ll confess my feelings, I’ll confess my fright And I’ll let you in… There’s no turning back… there’s no turning back… She says: “Save me, I don’t wanna be alone right now. Save me, I need to heal but don’t know how I don’t want to hurt anymore Just help me save myself.” Dance with me today Into the fire, into the flame Place your hand in mine You’re the only one who can make this right And I’ll let you in… In my mind, there’s no place to hide She says: “Save me, I don’t wanna be alone right now. Save me, I need to heal but don’t know how I don’t want to hurt anymore Just help me save myself.”

Mirror 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Here it is, another day Same old song but just the names are changed You always have to please them all How long until you fall… There’s no easy way out You made this hell There’s no easy way out So save yourself You give yourself away What have you done? There’s no easy way out Do you take pleasure in being used? Do you wonder why you get abused? “Bruises heal,” that’s what you always say How long until you fade away… Take a look inside you Take a look at the message you send The mirror can’t hide you If you can’t find pleasure on the way, will you find it in the end?

I’m the new sensation, the next big thing Here to rock your world, here to save the scene Gimme 15 minutes, I’ll be out of your way I’ll be a one-hit wonder somday I just went out and bought my first guitar And my girlfriend says I’m gonna be a star Learned some power chords and a cool riff Now it’s time for me to go out and share my gift Started a band with some guys from school All the freshmen say we’re really cool I wrote a song it’s gonna be a hit It’s got three chords and it goes like this… I’m the new sensation, the next big thing Here to rock your world, here to save the scene Gimme 15 minutes, I’ll be out of your way I’ll be a one-hit wonder, a one-hit wonder… someday Got a Mohawk that I colored green I’m the baddest thing you’ve ever seen I’ll sing about the girl that broke my heart And how I never wanted us to part And how I hate our democracy And how I’d rather live in anarchy I’m an individual in my own way But there’s a million others who are just the same I’m sick of all you people trying to label me Think I’ll put on some makeup, then you all will see I’ll write a part to the song that goes kinda slow Here comes my rock guitar solo…

Right Now 03:44
lyrics

My, my how times have changed. There’s no singing now in the acid rain. There’s no time now for dancing in the streets ‘Cuz there’s bills to pay and deadlines to meet. In the rat race, who comes in last? I just sold my soul for a gallon of gas. I’m a slave to technology It’s what binds me to my society. I’m fed stories of progress, but see only distress. When will these lies subside? This is your paradise Look around isn’t this nice If this isn’t the dream that you were promised Get up and join the cry for change right now Washington is up for lease, And everybody wants a piece. The politicians know what to say. They spend so much, but who’s gonna pay? Freedom of choice is not freedom, you see, Because our freedom of choice comes down to A or B. He’ll do anything just to get the win, Well, he just beat out his identical twin. We keep them elected, while they stay erected. I just want my voice to be heard! This is your paradise Look around isn’t this nice If this isn’t the dream that you were promised Get up and join the cry for change right now Life is precious but it’s so damn hard, I just charged the war on my credit card. Went to fight in a foreign land. The reasoning just didn’t fit the plan. Freedom was attacked and will have been defended, Just as soon as soon as that freedom’s own attacks have ended. Imposing your ideals into everyone’s heads, Blue and white fade to red. There’s violence, there’s killing, on your hands blood’s spilling. I just want my voice to be heard! This is your paradise Look around isn’t this nice If this isn’t the dream that you were promised Get up and join the cry for change right now

I’m drowning in the rain, the love you’re pouring down on me You know I can’t explain, these feeling that have trapped me You’re always on my mind So here we are face to face, and it’s okay ‘cus in our hearts there’s a better place to play Let me look into your eyes, ‘cuz they seem so nice Let me into your world, ‘cuz I know it’s paradise I’m lost within a dream, these fantasies are real Nothings as it seems, all I know is how I feel You’re always with me And after all, we’re just two wanderers lost at far We’ll find our way guided by a common star Let me into your life, it’s where I want to be Let me be the one you love, your one and only At night when I close my eyes and explore my mind There’s visions of you dancing through my lonely sleeping head And then when I hold you near and whisper in your ear How lucky I am to have you lying here next to me

Breathe [hidden track] 08:31
lyrics
buy track
Suddenly the stars aren’t as bright against the sky. Suddenly the words that I wrote no longer apply. The world around me is not the world I once knew. Confusion surrounds me like a fog I can’t break through C See you and me, in this place that I don’t want to be. Can you see me? Can you hear me scream? Remember me, when you get to where you want to be. I could not speak… it was hard enough to breathe. My love like poison in my veins, it flows and burns. The emptiness that once ruled me returns. Everything reminds me of what I’m trying to forget. The one thing I can’t control – my only regret. I walk the wire, bleed desire, engulfed in fire, that’s burning higher. The ice in my heart, it’s tearing me apart, this must be a dream, this can’t be what it seems. Can you hear me scream?! Can you hear me scream?! I am a shadow, I’m filled with sorrow, this must be a dream… Can you hear me scream?! Can you hear me scream?! This is a nightmare, from out of nowhere, this can’t be what it seems… Can you hear me scream?! Can you hear me scream?! Can you hear me scream?! Can you hear me scream?! Can you hear me scream?! A promise… I gave you… so long… ago… I never… betrayed you… I never… let go… How could you… just leave me… leave me here… to die… I can’t speak… I can’t breathe…
