Christina María Aguilera (born December 18, 1980) is an American recording artist and actress. Aguilera first appeared on national television in 1990 as a contestant on the Star Search program, and went on to star in Disney Channel's television series The Mickey Mouse Club from 1993 to 1994. Aguilera signed to RCA Records after recording "Reflection", the theme song for the animated film Mulan (1998).
In 1999, Aguilera came to prominence following her debut album Christina Aguilera, which was a commercial success spawning three number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100—"Genie in a Bottle", "What a Girl Wants", and "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)." Her sophomore and her debut Latin-pop album, Mi Reflejo (2000), a Christmas third studio album, My Kind of Christmas (2000), and several collaborations followed which garnered Aguilera worldwide success, though she was displeased with her lack of input in her music and image. After parting from her management, Aguilera took creative control over her fourth studio album, Stripped (2002). The album's second single, "Beautiful", was a commercial success and helped the album's commercial performance amidst controversy over Aguilera's image. Aguilera followed up Stripped with the soul, jazz and blues inspired, Back to Basics (2006), released to positive critical acclaim. The album produced three singles "Ain't No Other Man", "Hurt" and "Candyman". Four years later Aguilera released her sixth studio album, Bionic (2010), which incorporated aspects of R&B, electropop, and synthpop and was met with mixed reviews and low sales. Aguilera's seventh studio album is set to be released in 2012.
Bliss n Eso are an ARIA Award-winning Australian hip hop band based in Sydney, and were originally known as Bliss N' Esoterikizm for their debut EP The Arrival. Bliss N Eso are currently signed to Melbourne record label Illusive Sounds, and are managed and booked by label co-founders Adam Jankie and Matt Gudinski.
The trio, American MC Bliss (Jonathan Notley), Australian MC Eso (Max MacKinnon) and DJ Izm (Tarik Ejjamai) of Moroccan heritage, have been friends (and have rapped together) since high school. Notley moved to Australia in 1992 when he was thirteen and met MacKinnon at the Glenaeon Steiner School in Sydney.
"When I got to Australia, I met Eso (MacKinnon) and he was the only guy at my school into hip-hop. It was so scarce you'd be lucky to find a hip-hop record in a store let alone a whole section." - Jonathan "Bliss" Notley
"Back then hip hop was basically non-existent; there was no urban or hip-hop section in the CD stores. You'd be lucky to find a couple of albums like a Public Enemy album or something if you went to the CD stores. So I guess that's one of the reasons why Max, who's Eso, and I kinda bonded at high school, I think, because he was really the only other guy in the school who was into hip-hop." - Jonathan "Bliss" Notley
ALL I NEED NOW IS SOME GOLDEN WINGS THAT I MAY FLY
BUT IT DROPS DOWN ON ME THIS WEIGHT OF TIME
AND THE PAIN IN THEIR EYES
I CRAWLED ALONG MY CRACKED AND NARROW PATH
AND SAW MY REFLECTION IN SOME BROKEN GLASS
IT WAS BLOOD RED BLOOD RED AND IT SAID
THAT THE YEARS THEY STAY AND THEN MOVE ON
AND LIKE YESTERDAY YOU HAVE COME AND GONE
YOU REACHED AN END
BUT I KNOW THAT EVENTHOUGH THERE IS SUMMER
THERE IS ALSO A FALL
THE COLD WILL STAY THE WARMTH WILL LEAVE (WHISPERS)
IF TO LIVE IS TO SIN THEN THIS MUST BE DONE
FOR WHATEVER YOU DO IS EVIL TO SOMEONE
BUT IT'S KILLING ME IT'S KILLING ME
SO I'M HEADED OUT TO THAT ROAD THAT WINDS FOREVER AND EVER
BUT IT DROPS DOWN ON ME THE WEIGHT OF TIME
AND THE PAIN IN THEIR EYES
STANDING HERE ON MY FREEDOMS SHORE
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT THERE IS NOTHING MORE
THAN TO RISE SO HIGH AND THEN TO FALL
SOME SONGS ARE PRAYERS AND THIS ONE PRAYS
"IT IS BETTER TO LIVE FREE FOR A MOMENT THAN A
SLAVE FOR A DAY"
SO JUST FADE AWAY
FADE AWAY
FADE AWAY
Music: J. Tipton & T. Tipton
I'm in a spiral of thoughts,
The past, the pain, it all comes back
I see, but now I see more,
Even feel their side of this tale
I realise their faith,
No one's to blame, two sides
My life's a mirror that no one sees
If I could show them my own vision of this world
My life's a mirror I need them to see,
So they would open up to me and fill up my emptiness
I still really try to feel
A strange experience to enter the other side
I feel there's so much we never said
It's all misunderstood, the emotions that we had
My life's a mirror that no one sees,
If I could show them my own vision of this world
My life's a mirror I need them to see
[Voice in the back of her head]:
Maybe if you would have the guts to open up
Maybe the world would do the same
Maybe, maybe...
You can still be a part of this world,
Still be the queen of the ball
Not of your own empty paradise
Where no one sees the beauty inside
Face the world outside my safe shell
I must face reality for once
I've never felt the passion of a warm life
Games, TV, I know they're not real,
They're just a substitute
This could mean the breaking point
In these three lives
The moment of insight
That could change their misfortune
Let this help be enough to make it
Let this be stronger than pain,
The ancient wall between love and the comprehension
That will lead to the inner forgiveness
I awoke on the morning after
While the sun was rising through her hair
Then my world, it was filled with golden laughter
The science had consisted to destroy the elementary illusions from life,
doing materialy for men what faith can do for him.
Prosaicness reduces humans to automatons without souls,
symbol placed without power in arithmetic formula.
Candid efforts of humanity for materialism represents the tragedy
of a futile attempt to his own... moral (and) intellectual... suicide.
...Vanity overruns the mind.
The fatalist agility of a secularized denied his sweeping statements that
the universe...
The erudite, only thinking about physical approach is afflicted
by mathematical arrogance and statistic selffishness.
Soul is the part of survival from the human experience.
Wisdom is the principal thing. (So) obtain comprehension.
Exalt your mind, it will guide you to honors.
Not a machine. A stagnant soul is a dying soul.
Music express the cadence of emotions.
Temporary dimension interposed.
Realities and values of progress are not psychological projections.
The mistake of immaturity; influence of ignorance.
A struggle with death's embrace
Blood is covering my face again
Thick swollen lips try to ask why
Why I had never...
Long forgotten memories
I am drowned in it
The search for love led me
Through paths of abuse and hate
I'm counting
The seconds till the end
I spit out what's left inside of me
Thick swollen lips try to ask why
Why I had never...
Disguise the truth - wordlessness
But this trauma won't fade
Painful enigma follows me
Maybe I could have been
Someone
The silence before the pain
And all endeavours in vain
Thick swollen lips try to ask why
Why I had never...
A struggle with death's embrace
Blood is covering my face again
Thick swollen lips try to ask why
As far as the east is to the west
We're going
As far as the east is to the west
We're going
As far as the east is to the west
We're going
As far as the east is to the west
We're going
(We're going alone, we're going alone)
As far as the east is to the west
We're going alone!
Fall Asleep, into your soul
Movements you control
Bleeding heart, crimson tears
A suitcase full of fears
These are reflections of your heart, tell me why would you hide?
All these reflections of your heart, tell me why would you hide
Blackened sun, one way down
You hide behind yourself
All these dreams paralyzed, wiped fear out of your mind
What you see, what you feel
All these forces pulling you
Play it down, face it now
Sorrow for the crown
Voices calling you, just let go,
See your hanging on to nothing at all, let it go
Forces calling you, just let go, see your hanging on only to fall

Reflecting on what we once shared
Now I know how much you really cared
You cared for me
I never did appreciate
The sacrifices that you made
You made for our love our love
I know that you deserve
More than I could ever offer
But I can't change who I am
And if you knew what was in store
Why did you persevere and endure
As long as you did For our love
All the words left unsaid
I can't seem to get out of my head, my head
Believe me I meant you no harm, no harm
I'm sorry
Reflecting on what we once shared
Now I know much you really cared
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Hapiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine
As I peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(all the love) all the love
That I've waisted
(all the tears) all the tears
That I've taisted
All in vain
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promisses
Are all that's left of loving you
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
As I reflect on the situation
A heavy heart for the task at hand
I witnessed savagery
Hands tied to destiny
The exodus of the chosen
As foreseen in the prophecy
Hiding until it's time
To cloud all the human minds
When they spoke of the invasion
We were chosen from ties that bind
Bloodlines through centuries
Destined to be the ones to lead
The twelve and I, a new high council
Absorb the power of the watcher's eye
High priest resides in me
Somethings are so intense
Some say sorry
But I'll give myself to the experience of light
Now I'm force to think in a new way
Forced to see new colors
Cause something's pulling us together
Why are we aware?
Why this thrown sensation?
So is it you that I've been waiting for all my life?
Fills me with and it touches me
Searches through endlessly
Cause something's pulling us together
Unashamed passion and unashamed desire
Surpasses me, I'm spellbound
And I'm wondering what will happen
Unashamed passion and unashamed desire
Surpasses me, I'm spellbound
And I'm wondering what will happen
Unashamed passion and unashamed desire
Surpasses me, I'm spellbound
And I'm wondering what will happen
Unashamed passion and unashamed desire
Surpasses me, I'm spellbound
And I'm wondering what will happen
It's a spell
It's a spell
It's a spell
It's a spell
It's a spell
It's a spell
During today's reflections
I saw my imperfection
I saw all the ways
That I have hurt you
Striving for perfection
Deny the resurrection
Living under my own power
Again I hurt you
Chorus:
At night I cry
When I see the things that I've done
I ask why
Can't I be perfect
Draw me closer I pray
I have a burning passion for you
You are my desire
Ignite a raging fire
Please give me strength
So I won't hurt you
Chorus:
At night I cry
When I see the things that I've done
I ask why
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine
As I peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(All the love) All the love
That I've wasted
(All the tears) All the tears
That I've tasted
All in vain
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of loving you
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes

Pd... I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China,
All to myself alone.
To get you and keep you in my arms evermore,
Leave all your lovers
Weeping on the faraway shore.
Out on the briny
With the moon big and shinny,
Melting your heart of stone.
Darling, I'd love to get you
On a slow boat to China,
All to myself alone...Pd.

We walk these roads, a mile at a time.
We took it apart but got there fine,
They're lying t'me when I'm behind the wheel..
They take my arms and drag me through the mud..
so polluted, Wastelands remind me of what I've got t'do
The power to create, The power to destroy
Time was non-existant
The distance between us grows so thin
Running in circles we drew ourselves,
Pick your battles before you go to war.
We constructed these monuments from stone.
Before I go, let me remind you i was here!
I helped you create life, I filled your lungs with air.
I helped you poor the water into the seven seas
You helped me plant the trees,
We taught ourselves t'breathe!
Where did you go? Creators of the skies.
We waited so long to call this home..
I'm dying to leave..
This world was all we knew.
They take my arms and drag me through the mud..
so polluted..
Wastelands remind me of what I've got t'do.
Before it's gone, let me remind you why i came!
You left us all alone,
You've got yourself to blame.
I helped you poor the water into the seven seas.
You left us all alone,
Wounded flesh, wounded soul
why won't you let me lick your wounds closed
I dug a hole just to see how far you would let me go
your life force pumped out like black gold
your life force pumped out like black gold
black gold
So bite your tongue baby
Bleed for me
I wanna see you coming in
I wanna see you covered in it
slit and twist to let me in
Let me scalp through the beauty and past the skin
all the way to your secret garden
I dug a hole just to see how far you would let me go
your life force pumped out like black gold
your life force pumped out like black gold...
and your blood was all over me
it was the most beautiful thing I'd ever seen
so cut yourself, and I'll cut me, and we'll tell everyone
it was true love...
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
Look at your face
When all I could see was myself looking back at me
Reflection
And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you
[Slug]
What would it take to make a women like you
You a wolf like me for what I really might be
Listening to the lyrics only heres what I allow
You gotta try and make me testify for here and right now
Lets have a confrontation over a cold one
I'll give you conversation just to see if you can hold em
I play so dumb
Because I know some of these star struck small talk art fucks is no fun
I'm the blood type that goes straight for the guns
Like before you even spoke already knew what your loves like
So what you thinking?
Because I'm thinking we should jump into your ocean
Let's go girl this ship is sinking
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
Look at your face
When all I could see was myself looking back at me
Reflection
And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you
[Slug]
Now there's no reason to lie, I've had a lot of lovers
In my reality its impossible to avoid it
But theres one reason for life gotta provide some supper
Gonna build a family just to watch some one destroy it
Do you really think you really wana get to know me better
Don't you see the drama
Don't you feel the pressure
Don't get me wrong it would be my pleasure
To sing a song that could remove your shoes and your sweater
Bartender let me get a shot of bean
Cause this girl over here is trying to get me out my jeans
And she doesn't seem to believe i'm just another thief
Came to take a piece and make you stutter when you breath
Now girl you to smart to be a tour mark
Set to play correct from the start with your pure heart
And when your all alone ill sing into your phone
If you don't know the words you can make up your own
The first time she met the devil was at first avenue
Went back stage with him into the dressing room
Sexy ego trip
Taller than expected
About six foot three
Seemed to thrive on his misery
Critical observant big words
Sweaty hair sunken eyes and thick nerves
She said ill make em smile for the simple fact that he needs it
I'll make him smile just so I can kill it an eat it
You look like you were built for me
You talk like you want to steal my drink
You kiss like you already came
And that's a lift to pull a line for those with out any game
It's like damn baby
You know you can't save me
But you should still tell your people that your leaving with the band
Maybe you can show me your hustle
Neither one of us would be so lonely
If only you would come over here and hold me
I caught you trying to hide your smile behind your glass
But all of your secrets become a swing set when you laugh
And all of your regrets that you're carrying a burying
Don't mean a damn thing if there's nobody to share them with
We've been following each other all night now
We ought to be all over each other like right now
I don't like crowds lets take flight now
Cause that face that you make
Reminds me of my life now
[Chorus: repeat 6X]
Look at your face
When all I could see was myself looking back at me
Reflection
And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you
Look at me you may think you see
Who I really am but you'll never know me
Every day it's as if I play a part
Now I see if I wear a mask
I can fool the world but I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
I am now in a world where I
Have to hide my heart and what I believe in
But somehow I will show the world
What's inside my heart and be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Must I pretend that I'm someone else for all time?
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
There's a heart that must be free to fly
That burns with a need to know the reason why
Why must we all conceal what we think and how we feel?
Must there be a secret me I'm forced to hide?
I won't pretend that I'm someone else for all time
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
If I could describe with words
How I truly feel for you
I swear, I swear, I swear
You'd fall in love all over again,
Oh baby we're untouchable
And I'm positive it's all
That we've ever needed to feel,
Trust me baby, this is real
Looking straight into your eyes
I catch reflections of the skies
And in a manner so beautiful
You whisper baby we're untouchable
We're in for it now. Is this what we want?
Is this where it's going?
Tell me come on, oh just go,
I could've been a million more of you
We're untouchable
You can't touch us now
And we're untouchable
You can't touch us now
There's no getting ahead of ourselves anymore
We're not cocky just confident,
We're not cocky just confident
Is this not the best feeling in the world, girl?
Oh baby we're untouchable,
And I'm positive it's all
That we've ever needed to feel
Trust me baby, this is real
Looking straight into your eyes
I catch reflections of the sky
And in a manner so beautiful
You whisper baby we're untouchable
Just let it go, your dead in this,
I won't be quiet, I wish this now,
my love is waiting, change,
you can't die, you can't die now
And we're untouchable
You can't touch us now
And we're untouchable
You can't touch us now
And we're untouchable
You can't touch us now
And we're untouchable
Barrel of Pain (Half-Life) (5:21)
Words & music by Graham Nash
Hear it, hear it, hear it.
Hear it, hear it, hear it.
I can see the writing on the
Wall. I can hear the axe before
It falls. I can really feel it
Getting through to me. I can
See the sea begin to glow. I can
Feel it leaking down below.
I can barely stand it, what
You're doing to me. And in
The morning, will you still feel
The same? How're you gonna
Stop yourself from going
Insane, with glowing children
And a barrel of pain? I don't
Want to hear it no more, no.
I can see the heat begin to rise.
I can see the vapors in my
Eyes. Any way you look at
This, it's hard to take. I can
Feel my skin begin to peel.
I can see the dollar and the
Deal. I can see the companies
That are on the make.
Yes they are.
And in the morning, will you still feel
The same? How're you gonna
Stop yourself from going
Insane, with glowing children
And a barrel of pain? I don't
Want to hear it no more, no more.
And in the morning, will you still feel
The same? How're you gonna
Stop yourself from going
Insane, with glowing children
And a barrel of pain? I don't
Want to hear it no more, no.
I can see the writing on the
Wall. I can hear the axe before
It falls. I can really feel it
Getting through to me. I can
See the sea begin to glow. I can
Feel it leaking down below.
I can barely stand it, what
You're doing to me, to me.
And in the morning, will you still feel
The same? How're you gonna
Stop yourself from going
Insane, with glowing children
And a barrel of pain? I don't
Want to hear it, hear it, hear it.
Hear it, hear it, hear it.
I don't want to hear it,
I don't want to hear it,
No more no more hear it,
I don't want to hear it,
Think about the babies, hear it,
Think about the babies, hear it,
What about the children, hear it,
I don't want to, hear it,
I don't want to, hear it,
No more pain oh no, hear it,
I don't want, hear it,
No no no no more, hear it,
I just don't want to, hear it,
I don't want to, hear it.
Sometimes I hear a voice telling
Through my passions
That I have no choice but my
Fate and its reasons
Reflections on obsessions
Obsessions of the reflections
It is strange, this feeling
Obsessions of the reflections
Reflections on obsessions
Poison fades
As my veins drown you heart
Of a tear, of a last spark
I see more and more
Sparks in the mirror
The more it shines
The more the tone seems mine
Reflections on obsessions
Obsessions of the reflections
It is strange, this feeling
Obsessions of the reflections
Reflections on obsessions
Poison fades
As my veins drown you heart
Of a tear, of a last spark
I see more and more
Sparks in the mirror
The more it shines
The more the tone seems mine
Night after night
I forgot such a pain could have been real
But if my heart is still bleeding
I can’t fight it back,
It won’t stay away,
Every past mistake,
Is waiting at the gates,
Days they come and cry,
Time I wonna play,
Pain it comes and seeks,
Coz my soul is weak,
When you’re far away,
Is when I feel you most,
When you’re far away,
Is when I feel you close,
Why can’t I just be the one I wonna be,
But I'm just too weak, yeah I’m just too weak.
Damn, you get my heart every time.
Every time,
I’m gonna cry your name again,
Every time,
I’m gonna cry your pain again,
Every high,
Is gonna come back down again,
Every low,
Is gonna come back up again, up again.
I can’t fight it back,
It won’t stay away,
Every past mistake,
Is waiting at the gates,
Days they come and cry,
Time I wonna play,
Pain it comes and seeks,
Coz my soul is weak,
When you’re far away,
Is when I feel you most,
When you’re far away,
Is when I feel you close,
Why can’t I just be the one I wonna be,
But I'm just too weak, yeah I’m just too weak.
Damn, you get my heart every time.
Every time,
I’m gonna cry your name again,
Every time,
I’m gonna cry your pain again,
Every high,
Is gonna come back down again,
Every low,
Is gonna come back up again, up again.
Beauty begs the lover’s eye,
In the mirror I see myself
A desperate man who's falling apart
My own reflections cannot give me no answers
I stare at the stars
Out through my window
I wonder will they all fall down
So high above me
So out of touch
Why does it have to be like this
Reflections
In the mirror I see shadows of someone
Is it me or someone else
My mind is twisted
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of, the way life used to be
Reflections of, the love ya took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now, no love to shield me
Trapped in a world thats, a distorted reality
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone with only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through the tears that I'm cryin'
Reflects the hurt I can't control
'Cause I know you've gone, I keep holding on
To the happy time, uh, when you were mine
As I peer through the window, of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(All the love) all the love that I've wasted
(All the tears) all the tears that I've tasted
(All in me) all in me
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream thats lost
From the hurt
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
After all these nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promisses
All that's left of loving you
Reflections of, the way life used to be
Uh, Reflections of, the love you took from me
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
Uh, Reflections of, the way life used to be
Reflections of, the love you took from me
Uh,in you I put (fade)
Don't you think it's pointless
having me around
I'm just beating all this
you're just bringing me down
But I know when you're waitin'
you were coming home
in the summer days
you'll find me on my home
Just in the doorway
heard on the ground
and I'm thinking about you
'cause you know I'm no longer around
But I know when you're waitin'
you were coming home
in the summer days
you'll find me on my home
Light through the window
shining down on the ground
you were wonder about you
'cause you know I'm no longer around
But I know when you're waitin'
you were coming home
in the summer days
you'll find me on my home
you'll find on my home
you'll find me all alone
Its all my face, a pale disguise.
In disgust I close another chapter of my life, and its over to understand.
'Cus I dont care...
'Cus I dont care
So why dont you leave me here?
So why dont you leave me here?
Cus Im better off dead, and im better off DEAD!
Say you will not follow me-
I chase this crap around
Say you will not follow me- you whore
Stay away, stay away
Wash my hands from years of regret.
Wipe away the dirt that I love, and its taking its toll down on me.
'Cus Im better off dead, and Im better off DEAD!
Chorus
Ignore your attempt to weak my strength.
I was expecting more.
And to your shell you run from me.
To be just like me!
chorus
You turned out just like me!
Stay away!
Don't you think it's pointless
having me around
I'm just beating all this
you're just bringing me down
But I know when you're waitin'
you were coming home
in the summer days
you'll find me on my home
Just in the doorway
heard on the ground
and I'm thinking about you
'cause you know I'm no longer around
But I know when you're waitin'
you were coming home
in the summer days
you'll find me on my home
Light through the window
shining down on the ground
you were wonder about you
'cause you know I'm no longer around
But I know when you're waitin'
you were coming home
in the summer days
you'll find me on my home
you'll find on my home
Tell me how do you think about what I do
About the story you have heard
Tell me why does that man in the mirror not look like me
It all seems so absurd
I only tried to find out
What is wrong with me
Now I stare into these eyes
Of that man in the mirror that once was me
And I cannot believe
That it is real what I see
A broken heart lies on the floor and no one cares about
A man caught behind prison walls is trying to break out
But what I have to know is, if this is all I could expect
Because after all these years I thought you'd owe me some respect
At the end of each day, there is a hole in my heart
That reminds me of you
At the end of each day, there is a hole in my heart
Tell me what to do
Won't someone tell me what I can do
Ain't no explanation
I don't want to put the blame on you
I am not here to try
To turn false into true
I don't want to argue
I don't want to apologise
I am here to testify
And that is what I say
At the end of each day, there is a hole in my heart
That reminds me of you
At the end of each day, there is a hole in my heart
Tell me what to do
Won't someone tell me what I can do
When my castle collapses to sand
When the treasures I hold
Slip right through my hands
Do you know how that feels
I know I should stop to struggle with myself
To ponder and pore over things I cannot change
Whatever you say, whatever you will do
Somehow I am still yours
Although you are acting strange
No miracle cure, no magic boxes
To save me from drowning to rescue me
But I can't deny that while I stand here
The boat that I am on is sinking into the sea
A broken heart lies on the floor and no one cares about
A man caught behind prison walls is trying to break out
But what I have to know is, if this is all I could expect
Because after all these years I thought you'd owe me some respect
At the end of each day, there is a hole in my heart
That reminds me of you
At the end of each day, there is a hole in my heart
Tell me what to do
Won't someone tell me what I can do
And so I lay my defences down
When I listen to my heart
I hear the sound of a cold machine
That fills an empty space
Like a clockwork ticking
I know it's getting late
But you ain't gotta go home
(right now)
You'll make a big mistake
Cause I want you baby
You'll miss out on good loving
Do I have to break it down for you?
I wanna see your body
Doing what it do when I do it to you (hey)
Gon watch while I break it down for you?
Touch my body
I can't wait
To see you
Doing what it do when I do it to you (hey)
I can't wait
To see
To look at our reflection
It's been a real hard day
Been thinking bout our session
(Last night)
And I can hardly wait
To take another glimpse Ooo
(That's right)
Do I have to break it down for you?
I wanna see your body
Doing what it do when I do it to you (hey)
Gon watch while I break it down for you?
Touch my body
I can't wait
To see you
Doing what it do when I do it to you (hey)
I can't wait
To see

Reflections
Think about the present and the past times
Reflect on your life and the bad times
Think about the crazy and the strange shit
Then dig within inside and try to change shit
Reflections
Reflect your mind
Reflect through time
[PSC:]
My relation to these words spoken over beats leaps to and fro
All around, bound the energy in miles
Piles up towards the sky
High quantity of thoughts
Reflect the truth, sold another brother on the watch
On the clock of life, the mirror view
The clearest of reflection
Inspection of the lie that lies deep behind the stressin'
And it's pressing me like time
Rhymes is just illusions
A world in confusion
A dream of revolution
These reflections like mine in the puddle of life
Skip rocks, waves making ripple effects
Situations etched, lessons in stone tablets
For the reference to the habit
Forming addictions to the memories of past shit
I let go, it comes back
Boomerang behavior runs common in the obstacles
I wanna shake my coat tails
They follow on the missions of my failure
Bring me down, crush me
Reflections can be beautiful, but most the time they rush me
[Aceyalone:]
And in an instance you see the mirror image looking at you
Looks just like you, got you eyes, and you whole disguise
Reflections, he seen his image in the lake
Reflected on the grass roots which harbors all the snakes
Otherwise known as a snake pit
Remember the python on you ankle and all that fake shit?
Remember when the cake was lit, and the wind blew it out?
Before you could taste the cream, they sliced it up and threw it out
I recollect, I think back in retrospect
I reflect and connect my memories
Remember these good times and these hard times
But it's like that, and that's the way it is
And that's the way it was, but that ain't how it gotta be
Reflect your mind, it works every time
Cuz if I knew then what I knew now, I'd be doin' fine
Reflect your mind, it works every time
Cuz if you knew then what you know now, you'd be doin' fine
[BFAP:]
Reflect though time....
I peep when I meet people, evil or positive
We live in the middle, lost within the riddle
On God's reflection I stand, within an intersection of life lost
Double crossed by man, we stand ignorant
False prophet, gothic, prehistoric logic mixed our minds
Reflectin' signs of anger, reflection banger, reflection slanger
Reflection bombing hangars of 747's
Strangers wanna blow this shit to heaven
Reflection war, reflectin' poor, reflectin' Cold War
Reflectin' old multiple metal jacket tactics
You might see Murs reflectin' curse
Reflectin' hurts, you's a bitch in a male skirt
If you don't work to change your world, reflectin' hurls
In life with wisdom, beyond "blaow! blaow!"
Fake headwrapped female visions
We used to be in love with Duran Duran in '95
I got a condo in the white part of town
Change your name to Shanunu Brown, used to be Mary Tibbles
Reflect your mind before you get lost in the riddle
Reflect though time, this is time, reflect though time
[Aceyalone:]
We wear our reflectors when we move though your sector
Rollin' with the protector
So, we're visiable; indivisible
Face war...Mystik Journeymen
Project Blowed
Living Legends
Massmen
Fellowship
West coast
In a time of bitter reflection
In self made solitude
Have we come too far, is it much too late?
Have we overshot the mark?
In a time of desolation
As we search our inner selves
Do we blame each other or curse on high?
Do we live life in the dark?
Put on the mask and hide the pain
Don't let another inside again
Escape from the world, don't let them see
What you keep hidden among the debris
The cry of your heart, the warmth of your soul
Are drowned in the rivers of total control
And all that you had is slipping away
Replaced by illusion that starts to decay
Put on the mask and hide the pain
Don't let another inside again
Escape from the world, don't let them see
What you keep hidden among the debris
The cry of your heart, the warmth of your soul
Are drowned in the rivers of total control
And all that you had is slipping away
I felt you slip away
Far away from me
Further from me
You seem to drift far away
I caught myself wishing you back, as i fight to catch you
Anger wells inside me
I see me, frowning, in your eyes
(i see the fear in you where noone should ever be,
i find myself striving to catch you from..
this will hurt me less and less everytime until i feel nothing)
I see my reflection and the pain scripted across my face, set in stone
Anger wells inside of me
I see me, frowning in your eyes
Far away from me
Further from me
You seem to drift far away
I caught myself wishing you back as i strive for you
(she said "its not that i dont love you anymore,
but it would be much more accurate to say that i never loved you in the first place)
I put the fear in you where noone should ever be
Nothing to me
Everything to you
Nothing to me
I have lost everything, nothing left to lose, I’m all
alone. God, please save
us now! Fire of God fell from the sky and burned up
everything. I’m the only
one who has escaped to tell you this... to tell you this.
And when you feel you
can’t go on, keep your hands to the skies... to the
skies.... The Lord gave,
and has taken away. May the name of the Lord be praised.
There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.
When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed
With a word she can get what she came for.
Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven.
There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings.
In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings,
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it makes me wonder.
There's a feeling I get when I look to the west,
And my spirit is crying for leaving.
In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees,
And the voices of those who standing looking.
Ooh, it makes me wonder,
Ooh, it really makes me wonder.
And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason.
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter.
If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now,
It's just a spring clean for the May queen.
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
There's still time to change the road you're on.
And it makes me wonder.
Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know,
The piper's calling you to join him,
Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind.
And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul.
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold.
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last.
When all are one and one is all
To be a rock and not to roll.
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine
As I peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(All the love) All the love
That I've wasted
(All the tears) All the tears
That I've tasted
All in vain
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of loving you
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
Tonight I dreamt we found a fair of wonders
Where the future and the past cannot contain
We were greeted by a spell that took us under
And laid down in a field that revelades
To meet you in this dream we share I believed a perfect pair
Oh but I was wrong
This fair comes with a price because tonight I'll wake up twice and
Both times find you gone
Reflection
Is all we have and when it's over
Reflections
Of the path that sends us searching over and over again
Too quick to fall asleep again to find you
I'm rushing through a dream I can't control
This house of mirrors beckons us to walk through
But instead again I have to let you go
Stuck here in this stare revealed beyond the glare
Again you're gone
So throw a stone through these reflections scatter light in all directions
And sing this song
Reflection
Is all we have and when it's over
Reflections
Of the path that sends us searching over and over again
Where does the physical meet with the spiritual?
Is this the typical question?
But down below and up above
It looks the same so I'm not sure of anything
Where will love come from again?
Reflection
Is all we have and when it's over
Reflections
Of the path that sends us searching
Reflection
Is all we have and when it's over
Redirection
Is the path that sends us searching
Yea this song is dedicated to all the ladies out there

Don't know how to cope
With these empty feelings
Struggling in this world
Life can be so hard
Trying to make it through
To keep my stability
Lift my head out of the water
But I'm drowning too fast
I want to numb it all
And still feel at the same time...
Things could have been different
If you tried a little harder
You would still be here
And we could work it out
Correct the past mistakes
Before it's too late
Because everyday is worth living
Can't change the past
All I can do is learn
I want to fight harder
And I want to give up
Drink until I can't think
To forget the pain
That will not leave me
It's weighing me down
Will not disappear
But I am still stuck here...
Try to take the pain away
But I still want to feel
Tomorrow will be a better day
Even without you here
No matter how hard it gets
I'll try to crack a smile
I'm still left with hope
To do what's best for me
Your laugh lingers in my mind
[Bliss:]
Well I've been
Running round this globe for a coupla spins now
Grown from school days the outcast from the in crowd
I keep my chin down as time flies and seasons vanish
Hold the self belief to manage grip and seize my canvas
Paint the color that connects with me and speaks my language
Try to release my baggage be free to relieve the anguish
When it's freezing cold feel the warmth between my toes of this earth I walk
Creation is what feeds my soul
It can ease the load climbing on the steepest road so I preach this ode to remind myself to keep control
When it's all too much and I dive to free fall I try to center myself on the center of life's see-saw
I crave the fun times the sunshine entices
Of wandering temptation and unwind my vices
From the drugs to the girls and the beers I'm drinking and remember what's at staking staring in the mirror thinking
[Chorus:]
Well I've been down this road before
It's been one hell of a ride
The challenge is to balance on that fine line
Between the earth and sky
And I will wait for the morning sun till the way is clear as day
Well ok hallelujah
Now watch me take the stage
Oh a oh
Oh a oh
Oh a oh
Oh a oh (eso) yeah
It's the hunt for the high the people I've met the places I've seen (ohh)
The stories I've told the forks in the road chasing my dream (woahh)
On the brink stop and think I'm telling you dreams don't cost a thing I know we all die alone but I feel faith within that cosmic link
I surf the starlight where every wish is worthy
Only happy when you've got it often makes you miss the journey
Coincide with chemistry
Flow and ride my energy
We'll grow our grass greener than that other side will ever be
The man on the mic the rose on my drum kit
Happy with my reflection even though I've done dumb shit
And sometimes I think of stuff keen to get that instant rush
Fiending for that pick me up that; s probably why I drink too much
It's not the feeling of the high when you're running round
It's the friends that you find when you're coming down
From smooth sailing to foggy rocky roads I won't be faked by my reflection like that dog that dropped his bone
[Chorus:]
Well I've been down this road before
It's been one hell of a ride
The challenge is to balance on that fine line
Between the earth and sky
And I will wait for the morning sun till the way is clear as day
Well ok hallelujah
Now watch me take the stage
Oh a oh
Oh a oh
Oh a oh
There's a peace in my heart today
Because a man knew how to throw it away
There's a peace in my heart today
Because of Jesus
Of Jesus
Of Jesus
Of Jesus
I'm lost again out on the highway
Searching for answers that I fear
And it couldn't be much clearer
When objects in the mirror are closer than they appear
My mind is definitely twisted can't let go of the past
And there's no one left to blame
when the lights all look the same
And reflections disappear so fast
Road signs ahead are long overdue
Now there's direction to let go is on you
Let go let go child
The stars hang bright above the mountain
While the sun gently sleeps in the sea
I will keep my eyes ahead let what's done
be done be dead
And release the pressure haunting me
Dark cold night back in the distance
with a brand new day up ahead
I will keep my dream alive
Forward I will strive
So reflections can't catch up with me
Let go let go child
Well my fever is running high
and I'm suffering with a cold
and I'll soon be walking on the streets of gold
and I'll ask ya boy, don't you monkey round my widder
when I gone
If you monkey round my widder I'm telling you the fact
my big white ghost will come sneeking back
and I'll haunt you boy
If you monkey round my widder when I'm gone
My honey has told me over and over again
there will be no more sparking after I check in
I'll ask you boy? Don't ya monkey round my widder
when I'm gone
If you monkey round my widder I'm telling you true
some dark night I'll scare the hell out of you
I'll hant ya boy if you monkey round my widder
when I'm gone
Inst.
Oh her cooking is good and her loving is fine
but when I leave this world she'll still be mine
and I'll ask ya boy not to monkey round my widder when
I'm gone
If you monkey round my widder I'm telling you the fact
my big white ghost will come sneeking back
and I'll haunt you boy
If you monkey round my widder when I'm gone
I'll soon be leaving this world of sin
one pretty woman with a lot of you men
I'm telling you boy,, don't ya monkey round my widder
when I'm gone
If you monkey round my widder I'm telling you the fact
my big white ghost will come sneeking back
and I'll haunt you boy
If you monkey round my widder when I'm gone
I'll haunt you boy
If you monkey round my widder when I'm gone
She walks alone on a shameful path
That leads to a lonely aftermath
Behind the illusion she tries to hide
Without the freedom to decide
She sits around and wastes her day
On words she'll never get to say
There must be another way
To live instead of this
You can't sleep and you can't dream
You're wide awake when you are fast asleep
You've wasted your entire life
So go ahead and live the lie
Your whole life is a lie
Lies
Maybe there is another life
With words that won't cut like a knife
No more image to defend
When the whole world comes to an end
She won't have to prepare
For those who wouldn't even dare
To talk or laugh or care
[Feat. J.P. Leppaluoto]
I look at you
And see myself
If I touch my skin
I'm touching you
All the tears in your eyes are like water to me
When I cry my eyes dry up instantly
When you talk - feel your breath - that's the air that
I breathe
I'm screaming your name, tell me, can you feel the air
I release
Can you?
Just look deep in my eyes and tell me what you see
I'm desperate to hold you, so eager to kiss you
So far from my skin and yet I'm feeling you here
Reflecting in you and you're reflected in me
I move my lips
And I spell Love
If I touch my skin
I'm touching you
All the tears in your eyes are like water to me
When I cry my eyes dry up instantly
When you talk feel your breath that's the air that I
breathe
Just look deep in my eyes and tell me what you see
I'm desperate to hold you, so eager to kiss you
So far from my skin and yet I'm feeling you here
Reflecting in you... Reflecting...
Just reach into my skin and tell me what you feel
I'm desperate to hold you, so eager to kiss you
So far from my eyes and yet I'm seeing you here
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of the way like used to be
Reflections of the love you took from me
Oh I'm all alone now, no love to shield me
Trapped in a world that's
A distorted reality
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone with only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy time
Ooh when you were mine
As I peer through the window of lost time
Looking over my yesterday
And all the love I gave, all in vain
All the love that I've wasted
All the tears that I've tasted
All the pain
Through the hollow of my tears
I'll see a dream that's lost
From the hurt that you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects a love that used to be
In you I put all my faith and trust
Right before my eyes my world
Has turned to dust
After all the nights I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises are
All that's left
Oh loving you
Reflections of the way life used to be
Reflections of the love you took from me
In you I put all my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
Years ago, I was all alone
and their eyes were on me
my mother died when I was nine
The pain was all I’d seen
The judge’s hand had decreed a brand new way
The her family came and I was asked to stay
Used words for sadness, used words for pain
Used words for sadness, used words for pain
An angel came, to rescue me
And Rachel was her name
Reflections of my life what gone now
Our things were sold away
A yielding friend gave to me the angel’s hand
My life has changed so much, displaced
like shifting sand
There’s no more sadness, there’s no more pain
There’s no more sadness, there’s no more pain
Oh, in my day
[INSTRUMENTAL]
I wasn't solid enough to be
Things you rather wanted to see in me
Should I forget myself to get over you
all I can do is pretend and lie to myself
over and over again
Ghost of you still breathing
it won't leave me alone
it keeps on teasing
Reflections of eternity are dark as hell
now I can see
Of that I'm glad my heart and soul are still mine
I couldn't stop believing in fantasies
you destroyed then forgot, now I rebuilt
This promised land made by sand of an hour glass misplaced
Lyrics: (Screamed parts in CAPITALS)

Retuu-uurn
To mee-eeee
Look into my eyes
AND TELL ME WHY
*Second Chorus*
When you look into my reflections,
Will you see how much I've changed,
Will you See you've made a connection,
Or will you be just as deranged
Look into my eyes
AND TELL ME WHY
I'm left alone with me
*Breakdown*
JUST OPEN UP AND SEE
WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO ME
HOW MUCH DO YOU PERCIEVE
ON MY REFLECTIONS
*Guitar Solo*
*Outro*
(Brian Holland/Lamont Dozier/Edward Holland,Jr.)
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Hapiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine
As I peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(All the love) All the love
That I've waisted
(All the tears) All the tears
That I've taisted
All in vainThrough the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promisses
Are all that's left of loving you
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust...
Reflections of your love have come to wither
I thought I'd done my best to memorize
A picture fades of you and I together
I haven't come to terms with how we said goodbye
Did you really care
Care at all for me
Did you really care
Did you care at all for me
A displaced little girl wept years in silence
And whispered wishes you'd materialize
She pressed on night and day to keep on living
And tried so many ways to keep her soul alive
Did you really care
Care enough for me
Did you really care
Did you care at all for me
If I'm not quite good enough
Or somehow undeserving of
A mother's love
You could've had the decency to give me up
Before you gave me life
Don't you even care
Just the slightest little bit for me
Cause I really need to feel you care
Even once upon a time for me
I need to believe
In my heart of heart of hearts you cared for me
I need to understand
Why you left me there so helplessly
Don't you even care
Care at all for me
Oh...
Reflections of your love have come to wither
I thought I'd done my best to memorize
Through the hollow of all my tears, I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt, ooh, that you have caused
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time, I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of the way life used to be
Reflections of the love you took from me
I'm all alone now, no love to shield me
Back to the world of, that stops at reality
Oh, that happiness, ah, you took from me
And you left me with only memories
Through the mirror of my mind, through all these tears I'm cryin'
Reflects the hurt I can't control
'Cause though you're gone, I keep holdin' on
Through the happy times when you were mine
As I peer through the window of lost time
Thinkin' over my yesterdays
All the love I had in vain, all the love I have wasted
All the tears I have tasted, oh, oh
Through the hollow of my tears, I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt, ooh, you have caused
Everywhere I turn, everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put all of my faith and trust
And right before my eyes, my world has turned to dust
At drop of night, I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises, all that's left of lovin' you, ooh
You got the reflection, you got the reflection
You got the reflection, the way I used to be
You got the reflection, ah, reflection
You got the reflection, ah, reflection
Why?
You change yourself
Into something different for no one
Else's but the whole world's expectations
You dug yourself
Real deep this time
So lose the shovel
You dug yourself
Real deep this time
So listen here
Lean on this crutch
Or be trampled
This filthy world
Is what we are left with
Try turning this around
I just look back
At the filthy world
And I bow down
Cry out
Love is reflection
Painted deep
Drowning in your own
Self-reflections
Drowning in your own
Disconnected reflections
We're all torn from this
As I'm reflecting back on my life
It's like a dream
Things are not quiet what they seem
There's always something missing, something unseen but indeed remembered
I think a pass I might have taken lives I'd have changed
Some living living souls rearranged and I'm amazed how tender feelings can be
In looking back we just peek through the cracks between what's real and false
In this eternal waltz meanwhile we just keep dancing
Now at the end of my reflection
I have to say I would live life the same way
But that's the way that life goes
Thank God I'm a woman who knows
In looking back we just peek through the cracks between what's real and false
In this eternal waltz meanwhile we just keep dancing
Now at the end of my reflection
I have to say I would live lie the same way
But that's the way that life goes
Taken away
To a time and place that brings you peace
That clears your mind
You're changed by a shard of glass
Impaled by grief
Reflections
Reflections
Of a past that you can't forget
Reflections
Reflections
Of a time you can't forget
You saw your tortured past come to an end
Here comes your end
Forsake your life
Reflections
Reflections
Of a past that you can't forget
Reflections
Reflections
Of a time you can't forget
You saw your clouded past
Flash before your eyes
Forsake your life
Brainwashing you
Your reasons for leaving
Your breaking this evening
And you saw the pain that you hide inside
And you damn the day
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Hapiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
Because although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine
As I peer through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(all the love) all the love
That I've waisted
(all the tears) all the tears
That I've taisted
All in vain
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promisses
Are all that's left of loving you
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
In you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of the way life used to be
Reflections of the love you took from me
I'm alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world that
A distorted reality
Happiness, you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects the hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
When you were mine
As I peer out through the window
Of lost time
Looking over my yesterday
And all the love I gave all in vain
All the love I've wasted
All the tears that I've tasted
All in vain
(Reflections of)
Through the hollow of my tears
(Of the dream that's lost)
I see a dream that's lost
(Reflections of)
From the hurt of the pain
(Of the pain you've caused)
That've you have caused
(Reflections of)
Everywhere I turn
(Of the dream that's lost)
Seems like everything I see
(Reflections of)
Reflects the love
(Of the pain you've caused)
That used to be
In you I put
All my faith and trust
But before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
(Reflections of)
After all those nights
(The way life used to be)
I sat alone and wept
(Reflections of)
My hand full of promises
(The love you took from me)
That's all is left
Baby, you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world was turned to dust
(Reflections of)
After all those nights
(The way life used to be)
I sat alone and wept
(Reflections of)
My hand full of promises
(The love you took from me)
That's all is left
Baby, you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
All through the night, I hear the chime
Angela’s swinging, voices are singing
Singing of time
Stars fade away (stars fade away)
Snow starts its climb (you’re sports climbing now)
Nothing delaying (delaying)
(Everything) Everything playing
Playing with time
(Ahh) There's something real (oh oh oh)
(Ahh) There's something real
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Do (do do) do do do do do
And as the bell (and as the bell)
Once started the chime (they once chime)
Mothers are sunny (in our arms)
Babies are crying (people are)
People are dying, dying with time
(Ahh) There's something real (oh oh oh)
(Ahh) There's something real
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
I can't remember when
I can't remember when
I can't remember when the sun has hit my face
I can't remember when
I can't remember when
I can't remember when the sun has hit my face
all cut up and bleeding unjust fully
to never ever return
crumbled up and unfolding just to see, to see to see
the sun break
sliding down and slipping into the walls
of reflections just for you
i try to, i try to make you see, to see, to see reflections
i can't remember when
i can't remember when
i can't remember when the sun has hit my face
illusion's wondering above although stains appear
one dose will start to make you feel, to feel, to feel
the ground break
sliding down and slipping into the walls of reflections
just for you
i try to, i try to make you see, to see, to see reflections
i can't remember when
i can't remember when
i can't remember when the sun has hit my face
face flat and lying in the streets
i'm beat and still bleeding
my reflections, they show, they show, they show
the sun break
sliding down and slipping into the walls of reflections
just for you
i try to, i try to make you see, to see, to see reflections
i can't remember when
i can't remember when
i can't remember when the sun has hit my face
i can't remember when
i can't remember when
i can't remember when the sun has hit my face
i can't remember when
i can't remember when
i can't remember when the sun has hit my face
i can't remember when
i can't remember when
i can't remember when the sun has hit my face
i've seen reflections
i've seen reflections
i've seen reflections
and they're down upon my face
i've seen reflections
i've seen reflections
i've seen reflections
and they're down upon my face

Don't you look back and hate me
Or imagine how it could have been
I’d been exiled in the cold
You are all that I have left to hold
My former days unrepented
And every promise invented
It’s not easy to forgive
Always have what’s in my head
Reflection of a mind, reflection of a mind
Reflection of a life gone by, don’t you pass me by
Times I can’t tell what is real
Can’t say the things I can feel
But it’s so easy to believe
I’m inside you when I see
Reflection of a mind, reflection of a mind
Reflection of a life gone by, don’t you pass me by
Don't you look back and hate me
Or imagine how it could have been
I’d be banished from now on
Left to face this world alone
Reflection of a mind, reflection of a mind
Reflection of a life gone by, don’t you pass me by
Don’t you pass me by, don’t you pass me by, don’t you
If I could see it,
Would I believe it?
I had no chance
But let you fade away
If I was blinded
And absent minded
My eyes just saw reflections
I see you
All so clear
Should foreseen it
Should have believed it
Now your gone and time can't heal
This pain I'm feeling
Wounds are bleeding
In the mirror is where I find you,
longing to be free.
If only you could find truth,
who you want to be.
When I look into your eyes,
is it me you really see?
Or is it cloudy through your lies,
can I still be free?
Open your eyes,
I see right through them
Half-truths and lies,
Is all its ever been
You justify,
But I'm tired of the truth
That you don't think I know
Sharp words find their way smooth,
slippery off your tongue
They pour like oil from you,
but they burn in your lungs
They never see it coming,
your sword beneath your cloak.
That darkness that you're bringing,
to the hearts that you've broke
Open your eyes,
I see right through them
Half-truths and lies,
Is all its ever been
You justify,
But I'm tired of the truth
That you don't think I know
Open your eyes,
I see right through them
Half-truths and lies,
Is all its ever been
You justify,
But I'm tired of the truth
That you don't think I know
The wreckage of humanity has been strewn across the land
And now the hour of desperation is at hand
We the maggots feed off the dead
Seeking solace in a bed of broken glass
We bleed infected water
Beneath bright skins of polished steel
Through empty, yearning, starved and frustrated hearts
Which long for risk and reason
This is a standard and sterile half-life to lead
Empty facades conceal slow decay
Within these new dark ages which breed discontent
To give up all hope to see the dawn
Reveals a victims face beneath the veneer
Struggling to show that it's been wronged
Led astray by the myths of the father
With ancient wounds often ignored
Fighting for scraps from the table
While slowly we rot on the floor
Struggling for balance amid these unholy lies
Reflecting terror and chaos
We are born into suffering
With constructs, icons, idols and eyes
Which manifest and forecast our fear of our own demise
But on the eve of the apocalypse
You can burn these words into my flesh:
"we are the tortured and insane disillusioned and mundane
Unknown and unnamed desperate and enslaved
Baby
Listen baby
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world of a distorted reality
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holdin' on to those happy times
Oh, when you were mine
Oh and I peer through the window of lost time
Lookin' over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
All the love
All the love that I've wasted
All the tears
All the tears that I've tasted all in vain
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt that you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
Oh, into you I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
Oh, after all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of lovin' you
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Reflections of
The way life used to be

The love you took from me

Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
I've got reflections of love
That used to be
I've got reflections of love
That won't set me free
I've got reflections baby
You took my world to dust
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh, I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
'Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy times
Oh, when you were mine
As I peer through the window of lost time
Looking over my yesterdays
And all the love I gave all in vain
(All the love)
All the love that I've waisted
(All the tears)
All the tears that I've tasted
All in vain
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love
That used to be
In you, I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world has turned to dust
After all the nights
I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises
Are all that's left of loving you
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
In you, I put
All my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
Those nightly whispers...
I hear the rain again,
this world is sleeping
From darkness comes forever beauty
Awake all alone...
memories are lost
like tears in the rain
My shattered soul has fallen down
When night is turning to the dawn
I don't want to be alone
my blackened faith is broken
I watch reflections of my life
Like a ghost I am...
I stare into the darkess
my thoughts are fateful
they break me down and make me see the dark
Waiting for a dream...
Those ghosts come again
in darkness and the rain
Between birth and death we must find in ourselves, keepers of secrets stored on life's shelves, locked in our souls they key is always the past, don't hold on to things cause you know that they just never last, somewhere in time your eternal quest, your fear of dying will be the rifrst test, looking for meaning to find some purpose to life, answers to questions that tear at your heart like a knife, mysteries are but ephemeral reflections in time, oceans of wisdom run so deep and sublime. How far have we come, left so much behind, escaping your nature block it out of our mind, sold us a dream full of pain and despair, so lost in illusion we haven't a prayer. Cycles of change surely to come, as time destroys all, all that we've done. Dig in your souls reflect in your hearts, cause death is behind us to tear us apart, show you no mercy, no mercy at all, the valley of death it echoes its call
Flickin’ channels in my hotel room
On a trip I always thought I’d take with you
My heart was lifted by a telephone ring
I thought you’d changed your mind
And say it's true
If only, if only
I’d seized the moment when you loved me
You’d be here with me
Reflections of a wasted love
You don’t know what you’ve lost until she’s given up
I had to lose you to learn
You don’t know what you’ve lost until she’s gone
Never thought that you’d have gone this far
Guessed I’d always have just one more chance
I never thought that you could break my heart
If only I could change our circumstance
If only, if only
I’d seized the moment when you loved me
You’d be here with me
Reflections of a wasted love
You don’t know what you’ve got until she’s given up
I had to lose you to learn
The clock's been tickin’, the clock's been tickin’
You don’t know what you’ve lost until she’s gone
Maybe it's all too late,
(If you're never gonna tell me why, then I’m never
gonna say goodbye)
Maybe it’s all too late,
(If you're never gonna tell me why, then I’m never
gonna say goodbye)
Reflections of a wasted love
You don’t know what you’ve lost until she’s given up
I had to lose you to learn
You don’t know what you’ve lost until she’s given up
Reflections of a wasted love
'Cause the clock's been tickin’, the clock's been
tickin’
Boom!
HMMM HMMM

Look at me
You may think you see
Who I really am
But you never know me
Every day it's as if I play the part
Now I see if I wear a mask
I can fool the world
But I cannot fool my heart
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
When will my reflection show
Who I am Inside
I am now
In a world where I
Have to find my heart
And what I believe in
But somehow
I will show the world
What's inside my heart
And be loved for who I am
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me
Why is my reflection
Someone I don't know
Must I pretend that I am
Someone else all the time
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside
There's a heart that must be free
To fly
That bursts with the need to know
The reason why
Why must we all conceal
What we think How we feel
Must there be a secret me
I'm forced to hide
I wont pretend that I am
Someone else For all time
When will my reflection show
Who I am Inside
When will my reflection show
Hold my hand
Don't leave me here tonight
There's a face
Who is looking right back to me
There's a wound
So deep...
There's a dream of a lost soul
And it chases me at night
You will never understand...
There's a part of me I will be never able to see
There's this voice in my head again and again
When you laugh, I cry
And when you're sad, I smile
My Reflections...
There's a part of me I will be never able to see
There's this voice in my head again and again
When you laugh, I cry
And when you're sad, I smile
I?m giving up the ghost of love
And a shadow is cast on devotion
She is the one that I adore
Queen of my silent suffocation
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny bittersweet
I won?t give up I?m possessed by her
I?m bearing a cross she's turned into my curse
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny bittersweet
I want you
(Oh, how I wanted you)
And I need you
(Oh, how I needed you)
Oh, break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny bittersweet
Yeah, yeah

And I can feel the connection, connecting the two

Well, I can feel your reaction, reacting with mine
And now I sense things are happening, they're happening on time
It's dream reality, trying to break free and wake me
Dream reality, trying to break free from this world, from the world
Dream reality, trying to break free and move me
Dream reality, trying to break free from this world
Free from this world
Set me free from this world, free from the world
Well, I can feel your direction, directing me on line
And I believe you're responding, responding to your mind

The way life used to be
Reflections of
I am not afraid to let the world know
You ripped my soul from my fucking chest
I have opened my eyes
Only to see you are my enemy
The candle is burning out
Is there any escape?
And if there is, can you show me the way?
I don't want to play this game
I just want to disappear
And if you take my hand
Well I can show you who I really am
Wave away to all the pain
Were bringing all the light back
This candle is burning out
You put the blame on me
To take the weight off your burden
Someday you will see
You can't escape fate
Is there any escape?
And if there is, can you show me the way?
I don't want to play this game
I just want to disappear
And if you take my hand
Well I can show you who I really am
Wave away to all the pain
Were bringing all the light back
The reason
You are alone
Is because you left us all behind
I know
That you know why
We turned our backs for the last time
i realy dont know where going to
this place is something new
don't even fell im walking
is like i dreamed so many times
every moment so divine
i need to find my baby
oh sun
sunshine oh brightly
oh sun
time is against me
oh sun ahhh
wont you go slowly
i change the place is im on the run
now i'm waiting to the morning comes
(sun sun, sun sun)
i hear the music comes from the park
this cage is all around
and everybody is dancing
at every place they be they smile
can you cant loud invincible
if only i could see her
oh sun
sunshine oh brightly
oh sun
time is against me
oh sun ahhh
wont you go slowly
i change the place is im on the run
now i'm waiting to the morning comes
(sun sun, sun sun)
fireworks going to the sky
i look about the taste
idle surpride is magic
is geting make the sun is going down
being stranger in the sound
forget it soon or later
oh sun
sunshine oh brightly
oh sun
time is against me
wont you go slowly
sun ohohoh
sunshine oh brightly ohohoh
oh oh sun
Executioners and tortures run after my body, they reach me and wrap
me up like a baby in a shall.
Guide me out, please lead me free.
Darkness and depression, rape my true self.
Piece by piece my memories, come into sight.
I wander in wasteland and can't stay anywhere,
And I wonder how long it lasts this way I've been sent,
No one sees these conflicts, which exaustingly gnawing,
Blames throw me from equilibrium, but truth is forbidden.
[Music: Weston]
[Lyrics: Smail]
Looking at changes beyond my control with hesitation
Setting in my life new goals - a liberation
Making my way blindly through life I see what I can
Sooner than later life takes its toll - a boy to a man
Wait - I see a chance at the window
Fate - mustn't always decide
I'll follow through with or without you
But I will be all right
Starting over isn't easy
It gets tougher every time, but to
Live and learn without getting burned
Is like not living at all
Reflects, reflects
Reflects, reflects
Reflections
Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
(Reflections of)
The way life used to be
(Reflections of)
The love you took from me, oh
I'm all alone now
No love to shield me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Happiness you took from me
And left me all alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I'm crying
Reflects a hurt I can't control
('Cause although you're gone)
I keep holding on
(To the happy times)
Oh, when you were mine
(All the love)
All the love that I've wasted
(All the tears)
All the tears that I've tasted
(All in vain)
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt, girl
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
Seems like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
(Reflections)
The love you took from me
(Reflections)
In you I put all my faith and trust
(Reflections)
Right before my eyes my world has turned to dust
(Reflections)
The way life use to be
(Reflections)
The love you took from me
(Reflections)
In you I put all my faith and trust
(Reflections)
Right before my eyes my world has turned to dust
(Reflections)
The way life use to be
(Reflections)
The love you took from me
(Reflections)
In you I put all my faith and trust
(Reflections)
Right before my eyes my world has turned to dust
(Reflections)
(Reflections)
(Reflections)
[Instrumental]
We see ourselves in the water, your reflection's telling me
we'll make it through
And no one will ever touch us, cause that's what love will do
Tell me everything you feel now, as I lay right here with you
I'll be the shoulder when you're crying,
cause that's what love should do
I know we swore not to talk about it
You know your beauty is a killer,
that's why I die right here with you
If only you felt the same way too,
with this love we'll make it through
I know we swore not to talk about it, but enough is enough
I'm so tired of not sleeping
And I can't stand the heat of these god awful sheets
If I can't fall asleep to your breathing
That's what love will do, that's what love should do
Reflections of my life reveal so many misty memories
Of me, as a tiny child in Wales of mountains streams and daydreams.
I'd sing all through the days and there in the chapel with the organ playing.
I knew from the very start
that music was in my heart to stay
with me all the way
each and every day of my life.
And though I was only six years old,
My soul was so much older
with the joy and love to lead me on
and angels on my shoulder
So now that my heart is heavy
I go to that other place and smile with her happy face
She's there with me everywhere
And we breathe the sweet mountain air.
I travel a long and winding road
to all of life's directions
and now in the mirror I can see it all in these reflections
and through all my ups and downs
disillusion, joy and wonder
we stand in the golden light
one voice reaching through the night
