Flush My Eyes
03:47
|
|||
|
I try, to flush my eyes
(But they still burn)
Remember, days gone by
(The past I yearn)
A time more simple and a time less harsh
A time when the future didn't look so dark
The golden sun always touched on me
But now I'm so deep it can't be seen
Blood runs, down my nose
(Onto my teeth)
Beat down, and turned out
(A drought I've seen)
Give me one chance and the tide will turn
Teach me to change and I will learn
Let down my guard, put me on that stage
Gonna show the world, I will amaze
If there's one thing I've learned
If there's one thing I've learned
If there's one thing I've learned,
I can learn to do anything

I've Got
03:16
|

I’ve got, a really bad feeling
You don’t, know how good you are
And think it’s all my fault
I think it’s all my fault
You think you don’t look good
With your glasses on
I’m here to tell you that
You couldn’t be more wrong
You spend so much time
Putting your makeup on
But you look beautiful
Without any on
I always thought I’d find
Someone to steal my heart
Then you came along and
You gave me yours
Showed me how to love
With all my heart
Instead of stealing it
You made it twice as large
Just three more months
And you’ll be all mine
Forever and ever
‘Til the end of time
And I’ve got, a really bad feeling
No, I’ve got a really good feeling
And I’ve got… 1, 2, 3, 4
I’ve got, a really good feeling
And I know, just how great you are
And I think it’s all your fault
I think it’s all your fault
It’s definitely all your fault
It’s definitely all your fault
Hope you don’t mind taking the blame

I Can See
03:41
|
|||
|
It’s not the way, not the way, not the way you look
It’s the way, the way you look at me
It’s not the things, not the things, not the things you think
It’s what you think, think that we can be
It’s not the clothes you wear
It’s how you take them off
And how you always know
Where to find me when I’m lost
Cuz baby you are everything to me
Without you I don’t know what my life would be
Yeah baby you mean the world to me
Before you I was blind but now I can see
It’s not the way, not the way, not the way you feel
It’s how good, how good I feel with you
When we are, when we are together
There’s nothing that, that we cannot do
It’s not the way you smell
Your scent stays on my bed
And it’s not the way you live
Its without you I’d be dead

Remove the Pain
04:57
|
|||
|
Just being alive, can break your heart
We’re all a witness, to suffering
Wish I could lead, more than one life
So I could give, everyone everything
Some nights I can see the demons
They visit me in my dreams
So I look to them for guidance
To tell me what this life really means
If I could cast out a spell that would remove the pain
I’d wake up each morning just to do it again
How can we trust, what we’ve never seen
Is this the life that we’re supposed to lead
Try to see the world, through another's eyes
We all keep secrets, and tell ourselves lies
The grass is greener, when we give it time
How can we grow, If we can't empathize?
Where is my will
Where is my voice
Where is the proof
I have a choice
Where is our will
Where is our voice
Where is our will
Where is our voice
Where is the proof that
We have a choice

I Found You
03:58
|
|||
|
I never thought that love
Could feel like such a rush
How could it ever feel
Feel like it does
I was told no one could
Ever love me
How could they
I was broken
Down inside
My whole world was crumbling
But then I found you
And it opened up my eyes
A never ending love
Oh it took me by surprise
Standing here beside you
Not knowing what comes next
Butterflies flood around us
We don’t know what to expect
Everything, seemed so clear
Unprepared for something, this real
When you came, into my life
I released all my fears
I was told no one could
Ever love me
But you opened up my eyes
My life changed
In an instant
The moment you became mine
I found you
And it opened up my eyes
A never ending love
Oh it took me by surprise
I became yours
You became mine
A never ending love
Oh it took us by surprise

Day Without Time
03:56
|
|||
|
Repeat this thoughtless rhyme
As the sun burns through the night
Like a whole day without time
What is time? What is time?
The river’s run its course
But it can’t make it out to sea
While the salmon fight the current
To return where they used to be
Seconds turn to minutes turn to hours turn to days
All the words that we spoke chase us through the maze
Days turn to months turn to years or so it seems
All the things we left unsaid haunt us in our dreams
The mime cannot escape
From the box that he has made
Time always ticks the same
Who’s to blame? Who is to blame?
The wave is at its peak
Still higher, it wants to be
The shark can taste the blood
But it’s just not time to feed
So we try and turn the page
But the letters don’t make words
Heads held high we try again
But it just gets more absurd
Maybe it’s time we close the book
And put it on the shelf
Shuffle up a deck of cards
See what hand is dealt

A Chance Encounter
03:20
|
|||
|
Silently I watch her, every move amazing me
I want to reach and touch her, feel her energy
Her eyes are full of hope, taking in all she can see
But she's not worth anything unless she's everything to me
Hey over there you, beautiful stranger
She's perfect how she is wouldn't need to change her
Standing in that light she is an angel
I want her to be mine
I gaze through the window and over the chair
I'd do anything for, scent of her hair
Discovers my eyes and then she looks away
My heart is on my sleeve so what should I say
She's looking back at me it's like a dream come true
Emotions overwhelm me I can't think what to do
Right now I'm so happy and my mouth is dry
Place a bullet in my heart because I'm ready to die
Never have I pictured such a gorgeous face
The ground upon she walks is a holy place
Struttin' down the street always leaving a trace
Of her sweetness everywhere
Words can't describe the way I feel
(She's so perfect and she's so fine)
Every moment with her is so surreal
(She's my new obsession and I want her to be mine)

If Lonely You Were Here
01:59
|
|||
|
If only you were here
Then lonely would be gone
And if you were here then
I would sing a different song
So I’m wishing you were here
I’m wishing on a star
I don’t care how you get here
By train, airplane, or car
You can’t make up your mind
You lead me on then leave me behind
Even so I still wish you were here
Giving up and moving on, is inevitable I fear
If only you were here
Then I would not move on
And if you were here
There would be no need for this song
So I’m wishing you were here
I’m wishing very hard
The only thing I ask is
For you not to be far... away
You have no courtesy
You only call when you please and promises they mean nothing
Even so I cannot forget
You, I will never forget

My New Life
04:32
|
|||
|
Well it's finally winter
And the sun is sitting lower in the sky
It has taken me these past six months
To understand our demise
You're a contradiction constructed out of flesh
I think it's about time I change my Christmas wish
Because this year will be
The very first year
Of my new life
My new life without you
Yeah this time will be
The very last time
That I see you
You only get so many tries
Well the sun sets a little earlier now
As it falls beneath the trees
And if you were the sun and I was the sky then I'd say
You set too early on me
Now I'll be going to another place
Where the sun is high and you will be erased
Didn't give it a chance, always a second too late
Can't even get it right in my dreams
But that will all change
Because this year will be
The very first year
Of my new life
My new life on my own
Yeah, this time will be
The very last time
That I do this
All alone

Hey Man
03:55
|
|||
|
Hey man don’t you need a reason to wake
Go on get yourself up and out of bed
Get some motivation you’ve gotta speak
Up go on say what needs to be said
Well you’re never gonna win until you lose your mind
Look in from the outside stop livin this lie
Start making progress before you’re left behind
Cuz you’re never gonna live if you’re afraid to die
Hey man take some action get up and move
To all of the thoughts that are filling your head
Quit your putting off all your hopes and dreams
Start your living before you’re dead
Oh yes it’s true that some believe that life is just a game
You can do what want to try to win but it always ends the same
So do what makes you laugh, and do what makes you cry
You can do whatever it is that helps you to get by

Absence of Existence
03:18
|
|||
|
I want, something
That does not exist
Although, it did
At one time
Body, nor soul
Can be blamed
The burden lies within my mind
Can somebody tell me how
How can I get it back
No limit to what I’d do
If only I could have it back
I lie, awake
Night after night
Shuddering, shaking
My mind won’t stop
Racing, pacing
Can’t settle down
There is no outlet for the pain

Baby Cry (Demo)
04:11
|
|||
|
Am I wasting my time
Standing in line
Waiting for you to look my way
I’ve been avoiding you
It’s all I can do
To help me ease
All my pain
But at night when I sleep
You’re the one in my dreams
And it makes me not want to wake up
Yeah, the smile on your face
It brings me to a place
That I’ve wanted to be for so long
You walked right by
Looked me in the eye
with your arm around some other guy
can’t control myself
think I need some help
You give me that look to watch me melt
