(Alex Lifeson)
One more glass
A million more days
One more smoke
Release me from my ways
Break the mould
Break youre back
Break the promise you made
Seek the world now
Don't look back
Make you're promise today
Leave the safety
Leave this life
Leave before it's too late
It's your only chance
Don't pretend romance
Keep the new promise you made
What if I wasn't so scared ?
Why can't I be brave ?
I've forgotten all that we shared
You can't give me what I crave
One more glass
Take another pill
One more day
I feel like I could kill
What if you let me walk away ?
You think it's me who needs to be saved
Your lifea tragic, self-centered play
You never gave me what I craved
What I want
You can never give
What you want
My dead life to live
Break the mould
Break youre back
Break the promise you made
Seek the world now
Don't look back
Make you're promise today
Leave the safety
Leave this life
Leave before it's too late
It's your only chance
Don't pretend romance
Keep the new promise you made
Break the mould
Break youre back
Break the promise you made
Seek the world now
Don't look back
Make you're promise today
Leave the safety
Leave this life
Leave before it's too late
Seek the world now
Don't look back
Make your promise today
Keep the new promise you made
(Alex Lifeson)
I am the star-filled sky in winter
I am the starry-eyed who stares
I am the cold, grey rock of mountains
I am-the sea, so calm yet fearsome
I am-the one to seize the chance
I am-the air so pure yet foul
I am-the one who takes a stance
All you have is all there is
All there is, is what you make
All you make is all there is
All for your own sake
I am the building, tall and handsome
I am the builder, the one who cares
I am the painting on the canvas
I am the painter, the one who shares
I am-the trees, so strong and silent
I am-the earth, all life to give
I am-the sun, both lover and killer
I am-the child, through you I live
I have a need for building on tomorrow
I have a need to begin today
I have no time for living some past sorrow
I just want to get on my way
I need to have a strength in my conviction
I need to have the final say
I need to make some sense in my selection
I just want to get on my way
You only have you
I only have me
You lonely with you
Me lonely with me
You can give it to me
I will take it from you
You'll always have it from me
We'll be always
I am the wind, both warm and freezing
I am the truth, not always fair
I am the clouds, static yet fleeting
I am the heart, a burden to bear
I am-the man for all of the seasons
I am-the boy who never fears
I am-the woman who knows all the reasons
(Alex Lifeson)
Shut up and turn off the light
I'll take you deep right through the night
Just leave before you're in my sight
Cause I don't need another fight
And I don't need your sympathy
You'll get no tender love from me
kneel before me on your knee
Do it hard- make me free
Do it hard- make me free
Do it - make me free
Do it hard- make me free
Don't want your pity
Don't want your care
Don't care for giving
Don't care for fair
Don't want your kindness
Don't want your heart
Don't care for wanting
Don't care for smart
I'll come to you from behind
You know my touch will not be kind
You'll feel my loveless power bind
No feelings here that you can find
Between you're legs I will lay
On you're back you better stay
I'm gonna fuck you night and day
Do it hard- make me pay
Do it hard- make me pay
Do it hard- make me pay
Do it hard
Don't want your pity
Don't want your care
Don't care for giving
Don't care for fair
Don't want your kindness
Don't want your heart
Don't care for wanting
Don't care for smart
I don't need your sympathy
You'll get no tender love from me
Just kneel before me on your knee
Do it hard- make me free
Do it hard- make me free
(Alex Lifeson)
He opens the book-looks at the scenes from yesterday
How they laughed and loved and lived before the grew old and gray Now
he sits alone in his room, and the clock ticks away
Together they enjoyed all life's beauty and all it's fears
The lonelycry of his soul falls only on his ears
Each page's photo marked with the stain of his tears
He didn't know what to do
He didn't know what might come
Nothing was all that was left to him
Nothing was left when she was gone
The heart has a memory so strong
It remembers every right and every wrong
On those pages of his long, lonely life
He can only see his wife
He said "Pluck out my eyes"
He said "Plug up my ears"
He said "Silence my tongue"
He said "Take away my empty years"
One last wish
To see her face
One last breath
He's calling to death
One last look up at the sun
As he picks up the gun
As he steadies the gun
Que tú me quieres me dijeron por ahí
que soy el dueño de tus sueños chaparrita.
Que tu boquita solamente habla de mí
que te la pasas suspirando noche y día.
También dijeron que te han visto muy feliz
porque ya sabes chaparrita lo que siento.
Si ya lo sabes para qué me haces sufrir
si ya te he dicho una y mil veces que te quiero.
Si nos queremos
si me sueñas y te sueño
Por qué me niegas tus besos?
Por qué me tratas así?
Si nos queremos,
para qué perder el tiempo
abre ya tus sentimientos
ya te quiero, junto a mí.
También dijeron que te han visto muy feliz
porque ya sabes chaparrita lo que siento.
Si ya lo sabes para qué me haces sufrir
sí ya te he dicho una y mil veces que te quiero...
Si nos queremos... (se repite)
Te voy a cambiar el nombre
para guardar el secreto,
por que te amo y me amas
y a alguien debemos respeto.
Te voy a cambiar el nombre,
en base a lo que has traído...
ahora te llamarás “Gloria”,
lo tienes bien, merecido.
Y hemos de darnos un beso,
encerrados en la luna,
secreto amor ye confieso...
te quiero como a ninguna.
Y voy a cambiarte el nombre,
pero no cambio la historia,
te llames como te llames,
para mi tu eres la gloria.
Eres secreto de amor... secreto
delante de la gente no me mires,
no me llames,
aunque me ames,
delante de la gente soy tu amigo...
hoy te digo, que castigo,
qué dolor, qué dolor.
Eres secreto de amor... secreto
y voy a cambiarte el nombre,
para guardar el secreto,
porque te amo y me amas,
no debo ser indiscreto...
Eres secreto de amor... secreto
delante de la gente no me mires,
no suspires,
no me llames,
aunque me ames...
Delante de la gente soy tu amigo
hoy te digo,
Qué castigo!,
qué dolor, qué dolor.
Eres secreto de amor... (secreto)
y puedo cambiarte el nombre,
pero no cambio la historia,
te llames, como te llames....
para mí tú eres, la gloria.
Eres secreto de amor... (secreto)
Sera que yo me encontre, la voz de ternura
que me llena de placer, cuando la oigo hablar
De ella me enamore, y aunque nunca la conoci
Yo sueño con su querer, y en sus brazos quiero dormir
Escucho cada dia la radio, de seguro que la vuelvo a oir
En el cielo busco mi estrella, a la luna quiero subir
CORO
Voy desvelado por esas calles esperando encontrar, a esa voz de angel que quiero amar. Donde andara.
Voy develado y mi deseo no me deeja descansar porque despierto y yo me pongo a llorar. Yo seguire. . . develado y si amor.
Sera que yo me encontre. . . . . . .
Voz de angel donde estes, yo aqui estare
Amigos y enemigos...
están invitados.
Amigos y enemigos,
están invitados
a mi funeral pa' que brinden por mí,
unos de tristeza,
otros de alegría...
pero todos juntos porque ya me fui.
Cuando esté tendido que se oiga la banda,
música norteña, mariachis también,
que traigan cartones llenos de cerveza,
y échenme la tierra que me vio nacer.
Yo quiero invitarlos a mi funeral,
antes que la muerte me venga a buscar,
yo quiero invitarlos a mi funeral,
no quiero que naiden me vaya a faltar,
cuando yo me muera, que toque la banda,
esa del recodo, que tanto canté.
Quiero de los Tigres “El Jefe de Jefes”,
y que los mariachis me canten “El Rey”.
(Y asi se hacen las fiestas, con todos compa, con todos)
Amigos y enemigos, están invitados,
a mi funeral pa' que brinden por mí...
quiero ver a todas aquellas mujeres
que me hicieron daño y me hicieron feliz.
Cuando esté tendido que se oiga la banda,
música norteña, mariachis también...
que traigan cartones llenos de cerveza,
y échenme la tierra que me vio nacer...
Yo quiero invitarlos a mi funeral... (se repite)
Ojalá hubiera...
una pintura para hacer
que no me vieras,
y así pasar juntito a ti,
la noche entera,
besando sin parar,
tu piel de seda.
Para que creas…
que es el aire
que se cuela por tu cama,
o me confundas
con la brisa en tu cara,
mientras que te acaricio,
yo quisiera...
Hacerme el invisible,
para poder un día traspasar tu puerta
y a fuerza de mi amor hacer que tu me quieras,
hasta que... te me rindaras,
Invisible.
Para agarrarte más dormida
que despierta,
y amarte toda de los pies a la cabeza;
pero soñar, no sirve
porque eres un sueño,
un sueño imposible...
Por eso sigo
imaginándome esta loca fantasía,
soñando con la hora
en que seas mía.
Y si acaso no llega,
yo quisiera...
hacerme el invisible... (se repite)
Me encontré
A quien tanto esperaba
A quien siempre soñé
Pero al verla a los ojos
No me pude mover
Me quede con las ganas
De seguirle los pies
Se me fue
Como se van las tardes
Como si fuera un tren
Poco a poco mi ojos
La dejaron de ver
Y no se si algún día
Me la encuentre otra vez
Coro:
Otra vez
Aunque sea solo un minuto
Quiero verla otra vez
Pa' decirle tantas cosas que por tonto calle ayer
Otra vez ojala que se cruzara por mi vida otra vez
Pa' matar esta tristeza que dejo esa mujer
De la que me enamore ayer...ayer
Se me fue
Como se van las tardes
Como si fuera un tren
Poco a poco mi ojos
La dejaron de ver
Y no se si algún día
Me la encuentre otra vez
Coro:
Otra vez
Aunque sea solo un minuto
Quiero verla otra vez
Pa' decirle tantas cosas que por tonto calle ayer
Otra vez ojala que se cruzara por mi vida otra vez
Pa' matar esta tristeza que dejo esa mujer
De la que me enamore ayer...ayer
Otra vez
Aunque sea solo un minuto
Quiero verla otra vez
Pa' decirle tantas cosas que por tonto calle ayer
Otra vez ojala que se cruzara por mi vida otra vez
Pa' matar esta tristeza que dejo esa mujer
De la que me enamore ayer...ayer
De la que me enamore.
ENAMORADO
Tienes la mirada que me mata y
me detiene, tienes que darme
tu amor.
Tienes en mi boca todo todo lo que quieres, tienes mi corazón.
Me tienes a mi, tu piel me atrapó
me muero por tenerte, desesperadamente
CORO
Junto a ti todo esta bien
el alma se me escapa por volverte a ver
junto a ti todo esta bien
definitivamente estoy enamorado.
Tu cara con la luna,
comparacion alguna
a tu lado todo
es dulzura pura
tus manos son estrellas
para soñar con ellas estar contigo quiero pa'decir cositas bellas.
CORO
Junto a ti todo esta bien el alma se me escapa por volverte a ver
junto a ti todo esta bien
definitivmente estoy enmorado.
(W.H. Auden)
Victor was a little baby, into this world he came:
His father took him on his knee and said:' Don't dishonour the family
name.' Victor looked up at his father- loked up with big round eyes:
His father said:' Victor, my only son, don't you ever tell lies.'
It was a frosty December, it wsn't the season for fruits;
His father fell dead of heart disease while lacing up his boots.
It was a frosty December when into his grave he sank;
His uncle found Victor a post as a cashier in the Midlands Counties
bank.
It was a frosty December Victor was only eighteen.
But his figures were neat and his margins straight and his cuffs were
always clean.
He took a room at the Peveril, a respectableboarding-house: And Time
watched Victor day after day as a cat willwatch a mouse.
Victor went up to his bedroom, set the alarm bell;
Climbed into his bed, took his bible and read of happend to Jezebel.
It was the First of April, Anna to the Peveril came;
Her eyes, her lips, her breasts, her hips and her smile set men
aflame. It was the Second of April, she was wearing a coat of fur;
Victor met her upon the stairs and fell in love with her.
The first time he made his proposal, she laughed, said:' I'll never
wed':
The second time there was a pause, then she shook her head. Anna
looked at the mirror, pouted and gave a frown; Said;'Victor's as dull
as a wet afternoon but I've got to settle down.'
The third time hemade his proposal, as they walked by the Reservoir,
She gave him a kiss like a blowon the head, said,'You are my heart's
desire.'
They married early in August, she said;'Kiss me, you funny
boy':
Victor took her in his arms and said:'O my Helen of Troy.'
The clerks were talking of Anna, the door was just ajar:
One said:'Poor old Victor, but where ignorance is bliss, etcetera.'
Victor looked up at the sunset as he stood there all alone; Cried:'Are
you in Heaven, Father ?', but the sky said'Address not known.'
Victor looked up at the mountains, the mountains all covered with
snow;
Cried:'Are you pleased with me, Father ?' and the answer came
back,No.
Victor came to the forest, cried:'Father, will she ever be
true ?'
And the oaks and the beeches shook their heads and they
answered:' Not to you.'
Victor came to the meadow where the wind went
sweeping by: Cried:' O Father, I love her so,' but the wind said:' She
must die.'
Victor came to the river running so deep and so still;
Crying:' O Father, what shall I do ?' and the river answered:' Kill.'
Anna was sitting at table, drawing cards from a pack;
Anna was sitting at table waiting for her husband to come back.
Victor stood in the doorway, he didn't utter a word;
She said:'What's the matter, darling ?' he behaved as if he hadn't
heard.
There was a voice in his left ear, there was a voice in the
right,
There was a voice at the base of his skull saying:'She must die
tonight.'
Victor picked up a carving knife, his features were set and
drawn, Said;'Anna, it would have been better for you if you had not
been born.'
Anna jumped up from the table, Anna started to scream,
But Victor cam slowly after her like a horror in a dream.
She dodged behind the sofa, she tore down a curtain rod,
But Victor came slowly after her, said' Prepare to meet Thy God.'
He stood there above the body, he stood there holding the knife;
And the blood ran down the stairs and sang; ' I am the Resurrection
and the Life.'
They tapped Victor on the shoulder, they took him away
in a van;
He sat as quiet as a lump of moss saying; ' I am the Son of
Man.'
Victor sat in a corner
Making a woman of clay.
Saying:' I am Alpha and Omega, I shall come
(Alex Lifeson)
I've seen so many places, and always left my mark
I've kissed so many faces, lips smooth, just like a shark
I have no friends, I hope that's understood
I take what I can take, when the taking's good
It's not for love, but I'll gladly take your money
I can pretend to be so sad or funny
You'll just love the way I move when I dance
My young hips, they know how to entrance
Nevermind him, he's not here now
It's really not my problem anyhow
An angel of love is what I'll appear
Your lonely ache, I can make, disappear
Yes, take me deep inside so I can heal your pain
No angel of love takes another man's gain
You want to keep me held inside your cage
You best remember, you're twice my age
You think I'll want you with me for evermore
It's only been two weeks, and you're such a bore
I can see you're new to this, you don't know the rules
You're just another in a long line of fools
Can you be happy for my moment in your life
It doesn't bother you you're someone else's wife
Angel of love is what I may appear
What I am really is not so clear
I don't live for love, you sticky bitch
All I care about is if you're rich
You decide if you still want to play this game
(Alex Lifeson)
I need you to hold me tightly in your arms
I need you to show me if I might be wrong
I am pink and you are blue
Can I trust my whole life to you ?
Just don't take me for some fool
When I need to depend on you
I am not your part time job
What you get is what you are
You can hurt like no one can
You're such a child for such a man
You need strenght, you need to take a stand
Just stop looking to me for a helping hand
When you're ready I will be here
I can help you lose your fear
You better stand up on your feet
If you ever want to feel my heat
Clear your mind of those things gone by
You can't change the past, why even try
You can build upon all you've learned
You can start today
No one said it wouldn't be this hard
When you share, prepare to give a lot
Just remember when you look at me
You are you and I am me
When you're ready I will be here
I can help you lose your fear
You better stand up on your feet
If you ever want to feel my heat
Clear your mind of those things gone by
You can't change the past, why even try
Look ahead, to those better days
Make the effort it always pays
You can build upon all you've learned
(Alex Lifeson)
Tender is the nerve that leads straight to his heart
Sender sends the spit that streams down his face
Want and need are just two useless words
The third, if she knew it, would be grace
Her grip is tight as a vice- smothers like a killer, stealing
someone's life His guilt controls his every move- nothing seems to
work, what's he got to prove Their war is just like any war- all the
pain for nothing. double bladed sword
Sending out a warning
Sending out a warning
He's on the edge, everything is up or down
She's in his face, he feels like he may drown
Relentless is the scope of her revenge
She'll give then take then push him off the ledge
His guilt is tight as a vice- smothers like a killer, stealing
someone's life Her grip controls his every move- nothing seems to
work, what's he got to prove Their war is just like any war- all the
pain for nothing. double bladed sword
Sending out a warning
Sending out a warning
He's on the edge, everything is up or down
She's in his face, he feels like he may drown
Relentless is the scope of her revenge
She'll give then take then push him off the ledge
She's gone too far, he knows her subtle tricks
He's tried too hard, there are things you can't fix
Cross too many lines. be prepared to pay the price
All the warmth you knew will forever turn to ice
Sending out a warning
It hurts to see your stance unbending, no flexibility
It's always "Me this" and "I know about that" on every matter
Oh I can't wait till you discover there's no mystery
To the light that strikes with power and personality
You're running from the light
You need a light like a cigarette burns to be fired up
You place your hands over your eyes to shield them
Who's fooling who?
You've got the scars on the back of your hands
I rest my case against you
Evidence firmly stands
You're running from the light
You jump from pleasure to pleasure none of it lasting
Just self-determination, prideful calculations
When will you turn on a dime in the quick of it, asking,
"Where do I sign to receive my delivery?"
I have special friends
Born of consequence
Living out their
Dress-up skills
Time has held them well
So the mirror tells
Though my questioning reveals
Mannequin virtue
Nothing is real inside you
How can I open your eyes
Casting up your line
Hooking up to find
Pleasure at the seat of kings
Sing your lullaby
Watch the children's eyes
Even children can see
Mannequin virtue
Nothing is real inside you
How can I make you realize
Mannequin virtue
Look at the inside, too
I thought I’d vanished from the face of the Earth,
I started screaming for all I was worth,
You found me lying at the foot of a hill,
If it wasn’t for you, I’d be lying there still.
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
Comes down to you.
You brought the ground up under my feet, (you understand what I’ve been through)
When you touched me I felt a soothing heat, (you gave me feelings I never knew)
Put me in motion, my wheels on the street, (you changed my view)
Yeah, you started something I know you’ll complete, (comes down to you)
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you, (if I make it though, it comes down to you)
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you, (if I make it though, it comes down to you)
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you, (what would I do now...)
It comes down to you, (if I didn’t have you?)
It comes down to you, (someone tell me)
It comes down to you.
And if I make it though, it comes down to you.
When you touched me I thought I’d never survive, (you lit my flame with only a spark)
I started this journey and I will arrive, (you brought the flame back into the dark)
I am a passenger who thought he could drive, (you set me aside and gave me your mark)
Once I was dead, but now I’m alive,
I am alive.
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you, (if I make it though, it comes down to you)
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you, (if I make it though, it comes down to you)
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you, (if I make it though, it comes down to you)
It comes down to you,
It comes down to you, (if I make it though, it comes down to you)
Day upon day
I watch the world
Hear what they say
Makes my head turn
Fluorescent lights
Makes my eyes burn
the angry night
When will they learn
I love them all
Runaway child
Lost in the night
One telephone call
For love he cries
I love them all
Feel the presence all around you
Sing your song to all the world
Bring them home
Bring them home
You love them all
When you feel the calm
Right before the storm
Then you'll know it's time
Took a journey
Far from home
Endless waves flowing
Endless days alone
Raging wind
Crashing tide
On my own drifting
Now I need my home
Oh, oh, oh...
Need that love
I once had
So secure there
Feel the safety
On the shore
On the shore
See the sun
Feel the warmth
time has come
Rest yourself
Shut out of Eden
Outside the gate
I still remember
The light, your face
Cursed with a memory
the mark of Cain
I still remember
The garden at dawn
I want to see you
Want to please you
Living in this lifetime
I want to see you
Want to please you
Living in this lifetime
It's all right
Living in this life tonite
Oh lost without love
Down in the centuries
The memories fade
Hope for deliverance
Wait for the day
Count the cost of living in the city
Count the cost of living in the past
Sell your love for money it's a pity
Don't you see the faces move too fast
See the beggar standing on the corner
Lacking all the world has to give
Watch the hope inside him slowly dying
'Cause he needs the kiss of tenderness
Lovers and strangers
Running so desperately
And now you've lost the love that you have cried for
They didn't want to take you by the hand
You see the friends and lovers you once had
Lives are taken
Spirits are broken
Hearts are given
Dreams are torn
Love is taken
Lonely shadow
Search for shelter
Won't fill the void
All around the world
Feel the need
See the seasons
They've touched the earth
They want the light
The prophet sells
People buy
Itching ears
Don't question why
Beckoned by some
Distant chanting
His soul received the call
Drums and beating
Ceaseless ringing
Words urgent
"I can heal you"
Now the days are trying and this burden heavy
His sleep no longer restful now
He's almost ready
Within the needy and the needed
Lies the hunger and the thirst
More frustration
In his silence
He's up against a wall
Faint emotions
Rising, falling
Now calling
"We control you"
Heated by the fire from his indecision
Spiritual visions and he can't let them die
Within the needy and the needed
When I take a walk right through this place I see the light of love shining on my face,
I see a movement of heavenly hosts; must be the presence of the Holy Ghost.
The presence of an uncompromised love coming down around me. (the power of love)
It’s not the people, (the power of love)
It’s not the place, (the power of love)
It must be the power. (the power of love)
Getting under my skin, (getting under my skin)
Under my skin, (that power of love getting under my skin)
Under my skin.
One more second and I’m on my knees,
It’s coming alive inside of me,
Spirit of the living God coming down to right my wrong,
What was there one moment now is gone.
The presence of an uncompromised love coming down around me. (the power of love)
It’s not the people, (the power of love)
Where do I begin? (the power of love)
It must be the power. (the power of love)
Getting under my skin, (getting under my skin)
Under my skin, under my skin, under my skin, (that power of love getting under my skin)
Getting under my skin, under my skin, under my skin, under my skin, (that power of love getting under my skin)
Under my skin, under my skin, under my skin, under my skin,
That power of love getting under my skin.
The power of love, (the power)
It must be the power of love,
Power of love, (the power)
The power. (the power of love)
It’s not the people, (the power of love)
It’s not the place, (the power of love)
It must be the power. (the power of love)
Getting under my skin,
How do I show you?
The power of love,
The power of love,
It must be the power, (the power of love)
Under my skin,
How can I show you? (the power of love)
Show you the power?
The power of love, (power of love)
It's a different world of a whole new kind
Where love could last for a long long time
The helplessness of the poor has passed
And there's no dividing of the social class
It might look good
It might feel nice
Like a Shangri-La
In a Paradise
But it's just a substitute
A substitute
You've got everything that you'll ever need
There's a place for you in society
A love for all is in every heart
It's a happy world with a brand new start
It might look good
It might feel nice
Like a Shangri-La
In a Paradise
It's a movie screen
Of a peaceful scene
Till a second run
Caesar who fell from grace
It's such a tragedy
Such a somre theme
the test of time
Not led by conscience
But by pride
Brothers side by side
Gathered on the front
Mothers, children dying
We don't learn from mistakes
Keep raising the stakes
don't let the past control you
Know what the past can show you
Closing your eyes will cause you
Only to fall again
We try to decide
What's right and wrong
Who'll be God today
Blacks killing whites
killing blacks
Aryans killing Jews
If the Son of Man returned
You'd kill Him just the same
It's such a tragedy
Such a sombre theme
Kick it
I seen,
Make me the,
Bad thing (or laughing),
What you think of me.
Crack it,
Empty,
Dragging,
Can't you fucking see?
Crack it,
Empty,

Watch me freak out.

With this stick (or dick) in my eyes, i'll start to free.
Why can't you just walk away?
Can't you see?
With a switch in my eyes, i'll crack a swing.
I can't forgive you.
You're around my friend.
I can't forgive you.
You're around my friend.
I can't forgive you.
You're not my friend.
I can't forgive you.
You're not my friend.

You're not my friend.
Rip off your hip. I put this motherfucking stick up in my face. Down my race.
So knock off (?), this case. Fuckin' your sister fine, but it's a waste of my
Time. Cry out from your wizard just a (?hun?). Now it's time for you to breach
To survive your leach. Shuttin' all i could've been, but you're not my friend.
Why can't you just walk away?
Can't you see?
With this stick (or dick) in my eyes, i'll start to free.
Why can't you just walk away?
Can't you see?
With a switch in my eyes, i'll stack I swing.
Why can't you just walk away?

Haha, yeah!
Tonight I find myself
Taking a long drive home from somewhere that I'm not sure I wanna be
But it all goes
Goes to show I'm a creature of my habits
My habits get the best of me
Don't stop don't stop cause you're bringing it back down
So tell me can you hear me operator?
Will you drop me a line tonight?
Cause Ive spent eighteen years in this god damn east coast town
And girl you know the sun will rise you know its true
That Id never even think about leaving you
But the west coast is calling my name
Yeah the west is calling my name
Every now and then I get to thinking
How can I get myself out of this one?
But not too long ago I promised myself that Id never lie to you
Now I'm standing at your window screaming
Don't stop don't stop cause you're bring it back down
So tell me can you hear me operator?
Will you drop me a line tonight?
Cause Ive spent eighteen years in this god damn east coast town
And girl you know the sun will rise you know its true
That Id never even think about leaving you
But the west coast is calling my name
It's only been one night and you can't stand to be alone
You're losing your mind you cant seem to find
The strength to hold on
'Cause she's everything you wanted and things just seem so perfect
Then you're blue, skies turn to grey
And I'll keep saying things will get better now
But I'm looking up and seeing thunderclouds
So we'll let time pass you by in a blink of an eye
We'll move on float away as you say please won't you stay
So don't fake it just make me believe
Yeah don't fake it just make me believe
And I know where this is going
And I'm not sure that you'll like how it turns out
And I'll keep saying things will get better now
But I'm looking up and seeing thunderclouds
So we'll let time pass you by in a blink of an eye
We'll move on float away as you say please won't you stay
So don't fake it just make me believe
Yeah don't fake it just make me believe
'Cause we're all just liars
So don't take this for truth
So we'll let time pass you by in a blink of an eye
We'll move on float away as you say please won't you stay
So don't fake it just make me believe
Baby I'm just not myself anymore
Please remind me which side of this pen that I should be on again
'Cause I'm oh so literal when I'm just kidding around
You were the anchor that kept my feet on the ground
Keep up with me
Don't you tell me you won't be here when I get home
My heart beats in time to every one of your favorite records
Problem is that when the music stops I've got nothing left to say
Cause I'm oh so terrible at this game that I play like a game of cards
I know all your moves cause I'm the king of hearts
Keep up with me
Don't you tell me you won't be here when I get home
One false move tonight
And I'll end our world right before our eyes
I'll be your prescription for your only addiction
You know it's true
And yes I think I'm better off on my own
'Cause maybe baby we weren't so concrete
Keep up with me
Don't you tell me you won't be here when I get home
One false move tonight
And I'll end our world right before our eyes
It's been one whole year exactly to the date
Where I gave it all up yeah I threw it away
But it's high time, my sights are set on you
I'd say my best comes from my worst of times
But as the critics choice I'll write my lines
But this just in the headline reads you've changed
I'll keep this short and discrete
So call me home cause I'll always be here
And you can always come home
When I think about the past year, past year
I knew you never had a chance
But you can always come home
Cause you've been cold like the winter and dark when it rains
But if this is what you wanted then its all the same
But I just wish you knew what I know now
But if I'm just lying tell me what is the truth?
Or does that just seem a bit hard to explain?
(Whoa oh, Whoa oh oh, Whoa, Whoa)
So call me home cause I'll always be here
And you can always come home
When I think about the past year, past year
I knew you never had a chance
But you can always come home
Yeah you can always come home
If I wrote you symphony would you be into me?
I'd write the words down to keep you around
At least for today
(Don't ask me Id rather just sit here and wonder)
(The way that we are, the way that we were)
Come on, come on you know it
That I can't do this on my own
It's a shot in the dark I'm blinded
And I can't make this trip alone
So tell me why we're waiting
Are we waiting for something to come of this?
Or are we just hiding from the fact that we can't live like this?
Don't stop me I'm half out of the door
But you know that I need you more and more
So come with me I need your help to get through this
With all these ocean waves and big city lights
It's gotta count for something cause my dreams only last for a night
So wake me up when you think the time is right
But tonight I'll take that long road home
One last time
Can you say it wasn't true?
That I need you more, I need you like I do
Don't stop me I'm half out of the door
But you know that I need you more and more
So come with me I need your help to get through this
With all these ocean waves and big city lights
It's gotta count for something cause my dreams only last for a night
So wake me up when you think the time is right
But tonight I'll take that long road home
One last time
As the room just gets quieter the walls they get wider
You left me alone
As we both get tired you'll call me a liar
And you'll say goodbye
With two years and counting you still left me drowning out here alone
With waves crashing on me my lungs are collapsing
You're a brick wall with the worst pretensions
And I'm your wrecking ball with the worst intentions
But as it gets colder we all get much closer
And I doubt that we just wanna keep warm
But if I froze to death from my stubbornness
I had it coming all along
And it feels like I'm running away
From all the things I've always wanted
And I don't know which way to go
So give yourself a hand you made my notebook again
So don't go
This was never the way that we all had hoped it would be
Cause it feels like I'm running away
From all the things I've always wanted
And I don't know which way to go
She said just write me when you figured out
All those things you always wanted
Cause you don't know which way to go
You don't know
And it feels like I can go all night
Just waiting to come home (Still waiting, just waiting)
Still waiting to come home (Still waiting)
Slow down let me catch my breath
'Cause when you're not here you know that I'm a mess
And the sun don't shine in Jersey when you're not here
Whoa oh got me spinning around
And I think it's time we headed back for the ground
'Cause I don't think Ive seen the world from up this high
And all the time I think I've wasted
Never amounts too much
But just to see you smile you know I'd do it all again
You know the sky is getting brighter
As you're driving home from Carolina
And this may come as a joke to you
But all I wanna do is wait for you to come on home
Don't stop tell me everything
You know I never wanted to hear the sound of the wind
Lets just hang out in the southern heat
You know we both need sometime to get away
And all the time I think I've wasted
Never amounts too much
But just to see you smile you know I'd do it all again
You know the sky is getting brighter
As you're driving home from Carolina
And this may come as a joke to you
But all I wanna do is wait for you to come on home
And I'll never find myself a world away from you
You know the sky is getting brighter
As you're driving home from Carolina
And this may come as a joke to you
If I told you that I'd never forget
Then I'd forgive and then just leave it at that
I would, yeah I would
This could be the start of something new
A new beginning with or without you
Yeah I would if I could
But I'm begging to begin again
On somewhere new where I can call my own
But to start again might be hell at best
But hell looks good from where I'm standing down here
You hear myself you know we never agree
You know me better than I wish I knew me
Yeah you would if you could
But if these pages were to be in a book
You'd be the hero and then I'd be the crook
Yeah you know I would if I knew I could.
But I'm begging to begin again
On somewhere new where I can call my own
But to start again might be hell at best
But hell looks good from where I'm standing down here
Truth be told we never had a chance
But I'm so far away
But I'm begging to begin again
On somewhere new where I can call my own
But to start again might be hell at best

Suddenly I stood in the hallway while the wind unleashed it's anger upon my back. the cold 20 shadows lay long on the slightly lit scene. As dusk turned to night the eyes peered at me through the darkness. I watched as time & logic mutated into laughter & colors. One stood berfore me. When it moved, it became seven, & when it stopped, it became one again. Pressed together in this tiny shack we melted across the floor & became moss & grass covering the floor in a think blanket. As we were visited by ants on their journey, as well as bees, butterflies, & grasshoppers who were on their way. We suddenly knew no light, no dark, no black, no white, & no wrong. Blinded by the high. Gripped by colors. Nothing was or wasn't. Everything was an illusion & reality. We were pure energy & light. Our words were music & sound, every sound you could think of & some you could never dream of. Before long, one star appeared revealing that after this long trip, side by foolish side, you were there. Immediately, the connection was shattered. Our eyes fell upon the floor as we dismissed one another & walked away into the silence.

The human race is still immature. Taking beauty & making unpure. It's not just the fault of the perverts & freaks you also must blame the pastors & priest. All of their sermons & people repressed now sexuality becoming a mess. Violence for all & giving for free your divine ticket is your TV. So spread your legs & take it up the ass from propaganda fed to the mass. It's one little drop of blood today. One more tax we have to pay. One more right taken away. Actions mean more than the the words that I say. Freedom to protray hypocrisy is the only thing ever given to me brothers & sisters can't you see? It's time to fight back it's time to be free.

I, believe, in no one, but me.
All eyes, on me.
Pointing, at me.
Falling, you see.
Your words, deceive.
Chorus:
And I say what I want to say,
Doesn't matter what you think,
Cause is still live this way.
And then you come into my life,
Stick me in the back with your knife.
And now as I look at you,
All these things that you would put me through.
I won't let you look away.
Won't you fucking watch me bleed?
I, can see. I'm, not free.
I, believe in no one but me.
Why don't you take a look at your life for awhile,
And you see yourself, you're just like a child.
Preach about the things you've never seen,
Ignoring all the things that you're supposed to see.
While you watch your watch as time wastes away,
And you feel the need to feed on others pain.
Brag about the things but you fucking tried,
Brag about the things but you fucking lied.
You're a slave!
You're just a slave! (x3)
You're just a, You're just a,
Slave!
You're just a slave! (x2)
Slave.
Now you take a look at your life once again,
And you see the fuckers supposed to be your friends.
Brag about the things but you fucking tried,
Now you brag about the things but you fucking lied.
Now you sell your soul,
You sell your life away kid.
You sign your name.
And you even sell your pain.
Brag about the things but you fucking tried,
You brag about the things but you fucking lied.
Chorus.
I say what I want,
Doesn't matter what you think, what you got.
And all, that you do to me,
All these things that I could never see.
And now as I walk away,
All these things that I could never say.
I wont let you look away.
Wont you fucking watch me bleed?
You're a slave!
Weak inside, you're a slave.
Feeding your mind, you're a slave.
Selling your pain, you're a slave.
Signing your name, you're a slave.
Open your doors, you're a slave.
Weak inside, you're a slave
Feeding you're mind, you're a slave.
Chorus.
You're a slave.
You're just a, you're just a slave. (x3)
You, are precious.
Make, me special.
I, am ugly.
Lost in your beauty.
I ain't happy.
No one can love me.
I am sorry.
I am so dirty.
And, I pray, for all these words to reach day.
Maybe, that this'd go the way you,
Touch, me, feel you touching me, *girl*.
I think, maybe ya could of let her in.
All around me, why won't you trust me?
I am dirty, from where they touch me.
I, pray, for all these words to reach day.
Maybe, that this'd go the way you,
Touch, me, feel you touching me, *girl*.
I think, that ya should of went in.
I am wanting someone to love me.
But you can have her and have a freak.
Everyday it's all the same and i live this.
I don't know why but i keep on giving.
I am a child trapped in your (...who).
No one can love me.
Come in and they wreck em'.
Know had you pushed me.
You make me so lovey.
You pushed me i'm nothing.
So why won't you trust me?
I, pray, for all these words to reach day.
Maybe, that'd just go the way you,
Touch, me, feel you touching me, *girl*
I'm right, make it go away again.
You, are precious.
Make, me special.
I, am dirty.
Right
Right, i've been so good so you are.
Hide my enemy.
I, have suffered.
In, they're right.
No one helps me.
Knee at yourself and watch you rock it with your pop again.
Back at yourself, rich want bad.
Knee at yourself and watch you rock it with your pop again.
Send me off to a boys in blue, rich want bad.
I'm losing my mind, but i'm so liked now.
I'm laughing inside, and i thought you'd fade away.
I need to see, i don't want.
I have my own mind, i don't know.
I need to see, i don't want.
I have my own mind, i don't want.
Knee at yourself and watch you rock it with your pop again.
Back at yourself, rich want bad.
Knee at yourself and watch you rock it with your pop again.
Send me off to a boys in blue, rich want bad.
I open my eyes, and i'm so liked now.

Watch me suffer, I am trying.
You can call me stubborn, watch me suffer, whatcha do to me.
You can watch me suffer, let you cry.
Mad at yourself you punk, you'll still be lyin'.
You watch me suffer, just to bring it back again.
I don't wanna find the things that never let off me.
Watch yourself, livin ( ? ).
I open my eyes, and i'm so liked now.
I'm laughing inside, as i want to fade away.
I hear my own voice, with the same familiar,
I'm losing my mind, but i'm so liked now.
Lover, i love to find out, it's just a lover, i love to find out,
It's just a lover, i love to find out, it's just a lover.
Now watch you fry.
This is forever, i watch you fry again.
This is forever, rahhhh!!
This is forever, i watch you fry again.
This is forever.
Knee at yourself and watch you rock it with your pop again.
Back at yourself, rich want bad.
Knee at yourself and watch you rock it with your pop again.
Back at yourself, rich want bad.
You can see me suffer, you can watch me hit the moon.
You can watch me suffer, i am trying.
You can find me suffered, fuckin' with the clear moon.

He ran fast with every ounce of he had as the girl made her way into the street. All at once images flashed through his mind. The day that he crumbled his clothes tattered & strained. The day he saw the apocalypse, he knew the world was going to end; when & how. He recalled the sacrifices. Everything he had, he gave away. Everything he had done was for everyone who crossed his path. The only thing he had ever known was to help others, but not himself. He remembered her face as he had seen it many times before & all the moments, she & her friends laughed & teased him. Now homeless and youthless, they never knew what he truly was for they could only see him as the butt of their jokes & a source of cruel entertainment. Now that will change & he will now know it will change, for the one thing he never learned was self love & respect. As he pushed her with all of the life left in him, thrashing her against the ground she tumbled towards the curb looking back in anger to see what did this to her. She heard the screech of tires ring out as his body was slammed against a speeding BMW. He died never knowing a kind word, or a friendly face. Hating himself as he thought others did, (and some did), he did all within his simple mind & power to earn their love or at least a smile. He died never knowing either one.
I follow the sun down
Until it hits me
And I'll bring it back now
For all you to see...
Now!
We've been crucified
Just to cover a lie
That would burn down my life
Now!
You will sit there and try
To pretend it's alright
When they fuck with their life
Yea!
Watch your back into the face that you don't wanna see
You watch yourself 'cause you're livin' out your fuckin' dream
Hide your face as you wanna take away again
Got your back, livin' out your fuckin' trend
Hit yourself as you look again
Yea we're slipping in the fast lane
Hit yourself as you hit the wall
It's their time to fall
Hit your back and you'll break but you'll wanna see
You watch yourself 'cause you're livin' out your fuckin' dream
Got your back as you wanna take away again
Got yourself, livin' out your fuckin' trend
What's it now you fucking whore
Huh, all I ever wanna be
But you'll sleep, and the dreams that are never good
You watch yourself but I'll wanna make it fall apart
Off those rocks as you wanna take away again
Watch yourself, getting off your fuckin' trip
Hit yourself as you're letting go
Yea, he was drifting in the fast lane
Hit your back as you hit the wall
Now it's their time to fall
Got yourself, 'cause you'll think, but you'll wanna see
You're not the one who's been living off this fucking dream
Got yourself 'cause you'll wanna take away again
Got your back, livin' out your fucking trip
Now... I... 'ea, yea I'll fight and I'll watch again
Now... I... 'ea, nothing is what it seems now
The way it was, the way it is
And you were better than I am now
What the fuck, now you're gonna end up in a wall
You were the one who showed me all the little dumb things that I say
And no one will forgive me!
Now, you hit me and I'll hide
Now, you hit me and I'll hide... aww yea... yea...
Now, I...
Now, I...
Now free from what you see
All the times I see, and I don't know again
I like that I was playing keep away
I like to think that I'm going down
I'll fake it all, and I'll watch again
I like the pink inside me
I'll fake it all as I strip away
I like the things that unwind me
And I forgive you for all the life
See into my face and see through me
And all the pain that I tuck away
Those things that I thought can't find me
And all those fears I will see
And I will frelich to watch again
I take myself and live forever and Im a lie(alive)
Now!
Don't you're gonna fly back to another friend
All the while you've been livin' what's around you
Hide your face as you wanna take away again
Got your back, living out your fuckin' trend
Now!
We've been crucified
Just to cover a lie
That would burn down my life
Written by Nate Wallace
Watch you watching me & I catch you watching me & you empty inside me, just to watch me bleed. I see your footsteps bend in my mind as shadows stomp their way down my spine. I try to run away, I can't hide. The demons that I see are inside, watch you watching me & I catch you watching me& you empty inside me, just to watch me bleed. You say my life is a lie, you can see with violence. Show me reality, I feel you look at me, I feel your hands on me, I know your love but I'm not gonna cry. Good God, can't you fucking see? Good God, is this a fucking dream? Good God while I lie & bleed. Good God what'd you do to me? I can see empty in me. I lie & bleed all I can see & you step on me again & your back on me again & you empty inside me just to watch me bleed & when I close my eyes you're all I see, I can't take your face from my dreams, I feel you look at me, I feel your hands on me. I know your love but I'm not gonna cry
This distance might be the death of me even if its just been one week
Cause I don't want to be, no I don't want to be alone.
And if I ask how you sleep at night would you say he sleeps by your side?
Cause you cant stand to be, no you cant stand to be alone.
So throw me away
If you think that its better off this way
My only regret is not having the chance to say
That I know Ive been cold but this summers been oh so warm
Ive always been good at writing the songs that hurt.
Remember all of those silly things?
We drove around just to change the scenes
Without a care in the world I rested safe where I felt at home
These changes we're facing will prove what we're made of.
So throw me away
If you think that its better off this way
My only regret is not having the chance to say
That I know Ive been cold but this summers been oh so warm
Ive always been good at writing the songs that hurt.
I know, I know, I know
You are the wind in my sails
I know, I know, I know
To you I never fail
But I cant call this home
So throw me away
If you think that its better off this way
My only regret is not having the chance to say
That I know Ive been cold but this summers been oh so warm
