He fell into the abyss while blowing a kiss To the girl of his dreams. No one can tell if this is heaven or hell Or if it’s just another purgatory. I just wanna turn my head. I don’t wanna wish I’m dead. I just wanna hear the sound That tells me my mind hasn’t completely shut down. Shadow on the wall could be ninety feet tall Or a worm might have fallen in front of the torch. Sun breaks the horizon; Brother with no Son. To she, Luna, Moon. Craters cover the face of the lover; Leprosy’s fine when it’s on someone else. Open the curtains. You don’t know for certain Who’s looking in, if you aren’t looking out.

All I Want 02:57
You always said you liked the compliments you got But when I gave ‘em you said I put you on the spot In the end you said I was obnoxious Truth is I was tired of being cautious All I want is a second chance Another turn at our old dance Don’t bother me with don’ts and can’ts Cuz all I want is a second chance With you You said not to say anything about us I didn’t and yet you still left me in the dust I heard you on the street spitting my name out like a cuss Here’s a new word: it’s a little thing called trust You only wanted an absolutely perfect guy Didn’t anyone let you know I can’t fly? I’m not a puppet, here to obey your every word Don’t call me honey, you know that’s just absurd You don’t get a second chance, There’s new steps to our old dance, Don’t tell me you want romance Cuz you don’t get a second chance on love.

Later 02:16
Life’s receding quickly My hair the metaphor But what kind of life is it When there’s nothing worth living for My cataracts are swelling But there’s nothing left to see The kids are all asking themselves “What’ve mom and dad left me?” It’s all right Its okay Another time A brand new day We’ll get together But it’ll have to be later ‘Cause the world is falling in on itself We’ve gotta come together as one To beat the ticking clock Dropping bombs on the innocent Puts the world in shell-shock History repeats itself But don’t repeat the mistakes! One stupid move, one unwise word And the world descends to hate.

Lifeline 04:05
When you’re facedown on the cold concrete, Lying, dying on the side of the street. You aren’t quite sure how you got here. There’s still a ring of gunshots in your ears! Time flies by, You’re almost out of life, If you don’t stop your ways You’ll never see another day! When life gets rough, I know you try to act tough. Please don’t lie, You’ll sever my life-line! When your tired and you’ve got nothing to lose When you’ve been stewing in a, a foul mood When there's a party going down and you’re next door Then you’ll realize you want more! When you see a tunnel with no light at the end, That’s the finish line for you my friend. A deal gone bad or just the story coming true? Next we meet, I’ll be there with you!

Bourgeoisie 03:34
One day, I’ll get out of this place Headin’ towards outer space Or something that way Night light Watchin’ shadows walkin’ upright People disappearin’ in the night Government is out of sight Ain’t no bourgeoisie, Don’t look like nobody Don’t do conformity Don’t trust authority We ain’t no... bourgeoisie Young man, Drawing pictures with a red crayon Whatever she demands Flying saucer or a frying pan. Gateway Sunrise brings a new day But when you’re workin for a low pay You like the sunset better anyway White tree Yellow hive with honeybees Taking orders from the queen Never break from the routine Guitar In the hands of a rock star Doesn’t know who those people are How did he come this far?

Black Mamba 03:01

We tend to forget that we’re running out of time So much wasted breath, blurring the things that shine We while away our hours wishing we weren’t here Forget trying to smile, if you won’t risk the tears. From the minute you’re born you start dying From the second she’s gone you start crying When your time is up, will you be happy enough? Don't you dare think of giving up trying. I see you searching for something you never had All the idiots out on the street will drive you mad The bishops and the lawyers have decided what’s right for you You only get life, so try to think before you do. Paralyzing terror cannot dictate your life You have to free yourself from this web of lies But before we can admit what we have done We have to forgive ourselves; or else the pain has won.

Fantasy Land 03:19
Every other guy wants to be her man I’d be happy just to hold her hand She just wants us all to let her alone. Every jock wants to score with her. All the cheerleaders are disturbed They’re jealous of a girl who doesn’t know why. In her mind, there is a place Of giants, ogres, wizards, and fairies All the unicorns and butterflies are her friends. There, nothing can go wrong. Every animal sings her song She spends all of her time in fantasy land. She is the most beautiful girl In the entire world She makes the air around her glow Her eyes are the prettiest green This damn world has ever seen. But she's giving me a look that's making me take it slow. But how can she feel love? How can she know what friendship brings? Does she even know What love means? They treat her like a trophy But I see what they don’t perceive She’s happier in a world she calls fantasy land.

Life Story 05:39
I wanna hear your life story; start at the beginning. I wanna hear about your fall from glory; I wanna hear about your life-long longing Just remember, the story isn’t over yet. Call off all of your bets. You ain’t a thing like me. You’re not a living shadow living off dead dreams. Even the deepest cuts heal over time The scar remains, but the broken skin will bridge the divide. Your heart’s not skin, but it’s been broken and it’s been cut If you don’t screw your head on straight you’re gonna walk off a cliff with your eyes wide shut Broken bottles and empty hearts Endless cycle of false starts Going down and growing up Out of love and out of luck I know getting up is harder every time But you’re gonna have to do it if you don’t want a life like mine Every time you get knocked down you lose self-control The world spins, you can feel it as it goes and goes and goes There is little that I can say; she will not see me. I’m a liar and a cheat. I thought of love as free. I let her heart open and then betrayed her trust I rubbed it in the mud and filled it in with dust Every time I gaze on a woman’s eye, I see nothing but her. I am paralyzed by the disgrace and the hurt That I caused her, and how it came to be That now she wants nothing, nothing, nothing to do with me This is my story. This is my tale. The one time I tried. Don't know how I failed. I told her I was sorry. She told me I'd be fine. Despite our best efforts we never stopped lying. I can’t say everything is gonna be all right There are some things we can’t predict, that evade our foresight But that don’t mean that you can lay down and let go Every day you've gotta try harder and learn to grow!

With the sound of her shoes "a click-clickin'" in my ear I'd take punishment everyday if you would dish it out my dear I look the other way when I see my name in the stalls But when you walk out that door I trip tumble and fall Before you're out of bed I have already hit the ground I'm living in the lost and found My mind is in the gutter when you smile at the boys My life's a blur the rest is noise It seems every time I look at you, you never look the same to me You try to get away I change my plan, change my strategy The light shine's through your hair, you blink your eyes, you pucker up your lips My mind is bouncing off the sides of my skull to the sw-swing of your hips Now things are moving faster, think I may be on a roll If not I'm gonna lose control You tease me with your elegance, you dazzle with your poise My life's a blur the rest is noise You toss us out like we're a bunch of old toys. We don't know this 'cause the rest is noise.
