I tried to pretend that you were fine
And all was okay now But I couldn't ignore the rapid decline That's taken you somehow I watched it slowly take over you It left you so helpless There was really nothing that I could do But sit there and witness I saw your face in all my dreams The greatest thing I've ever seen Sent crazy shivers up and down my spine It was like yesterday If only I could make you stay I wish that I could see you one more time I wasn't ready to say goodbye Because it's so hard to It felt like I was going to die The moment I lost you My life's so crazy now that you're gone Don't want to believe it And all the emptiness is so strong I really can't take it I saw your face in all my dreams The greatest thing I've ever seen Sent crazy shivers up and down my spine It was like yesterday If only I could make you stay I wish that I could see you one more time 02. Jekyll Or Hyde
Rehabilitated me
You want me to lie Free to go out on the streets My fears in overdrive I'll stick out as if I'm an alien Just like that kid that never quite fit in A fish in a bowl is where you'd rather me Make sure I'm fed and be my eyes to see A living hell no pearly gates No second chance for this inmate Don't know if I'll survive Doctor Jekyll or Mister Hyde I feel them both collide Not easy to decide Why celebrate A waste of time Right here's where I belong They'd like to think They healed my wounds Believe me they are wrong I did my time, I did it well Propaganda, learned to gel Can't shake the past They won't let me Infallible hypocrisy Adieu farewell, I'm out of place No second chance It's much too late Don't know if I'll survive Doctor Jekyll or Mister Hyde I feel them both collide Not easy to decide I have no voice They shut me down Who listens at any rate I'll chart a course In this playground And follow it one day Typecast Stuck on this roundabout A failed system Inside and Out Don't know if I'll survive Doctor Jekyll or Mister Hyde I feel them both collide Not easy to decide 03. Mislead
I can't be
Here not a... One moment longer My skin feels It's crawling Actions appalling Ratified Justified To keep us quiet Dominion Opinion The streets will riot Whose interests are we supporting? Convinced us in their reporting Mislead (No more lame excuses) Mislead (They should look the part) We'll paint their lips a crimson red Bang it over their heads Then none of us will feel Mislead It's your move Can feel it Tension is rising No facial Expression But know they're lying Forefathers Words spoken The constitution Infected Corrupted Our institutions Whose interests are we supporting? Convinced us in their reporting Mislead (No more lame excuses) Mislead (They should look the part) We'll paint their lips a crimson red Bang it over their heads Then none of us will feel Mislead They've fallen short Again to hell with their credentials If we are to survive Realize our full potential Mislead (No more lame excuses) Mislead (They should look the part) We'll paint their lips a crimson red Bang it over their heads Then none of us will feel Mislead 04. Euphoric
I got her call last night
Let me know she had a good time There was something, it just feels right I wish it may, I hope that it might Tired of bumming the streets alone No relationships on my own Forgot what it was like 'til she 'Til this lovely girl she touched me I never felt Euphoric so high I just bumped into the man in the sky You got me I'm yours A spell on me Look forward to seeing you I'm outta control Every reason to be A romantic rendezvous Don't tell me this is wrong Hard to read but we get along Let down my guard it's clear A thought exterior means nothing here I'll admit she's a bit odd No centerfold or a great bod What's up will all that hype Stick chic's, bulimic, ain't my type I never felt Euphoric so high I just bumped into the man in the sky You got me I'm yours A spell on me Look forward to seeing you I'm outta control Every reason to be A romantic rendezvous Nobody's wrong here Nobody's right Nobody's wrong here Nobody's right Nobody's wrong here Nobody's right Nobody's right Nobody's right I never felt Euphoric so high I just bumped into the man in the sky You got me I'm yours A spell on me Look forward to seeing you I'm outta control Every reason to be A romantic rendezvous She's got me I'm hers A spell on me Look forward to seeing her I'm outta control She's my ecstasy I'm her junkie and she's my cure 05. Over The Edge
I can't make it out
Was she looking my way Checking to my right But no one fit the part She's messing with my head But who am I to say Shy boy his head in the sand No risk of rejection then You saw me twisting You read my mind I'm driving carelessly Over the Edge Threw caution to the wind But who cares I'm driving carelessly Over the Edge Paranoid I'm not A warped sense of humor So called friends Never thinking she'd go this far A raving dark beauty Saddles up beside me No gene pool lottery here Last time I checked in the mirror You saw me twisting You read my mind I'm driving carelessly Over the Edge Threw caution to the wind But who cares I'm driving carelessly Over the Edge Over the Edge Over the Edge I'm driving, driving Over the Edge Over the Edge I'm driving You saw me twisting You read my mind I'm driving carelessly Over the Edge Threw caution to the wind But who cares I'm driving carelessly Over the Edge She saw me twisting She read my mind Was driving carelessly Over the Edge No rope to reel me in Out of time I'm driving carelessly Over the Edge 06. I Need You
Caged in
With all the crackheads Facing my fears all rolled up into one Waiting seems like forever It's only the first day Guess hell has begun Can't find a way out No My head Spinning in circles Don't know what's up And I don't know what's down Wake up This is a nightmare Wanna get off of this merry-go-round I can't do this on my own And I don't have to be alone (So) Help me Send Calvary to the rescue I need you to Save me I have nothing to hold on to I need you Searching Looking for answers Wondering why does it have to be me Then you Lifted the curtain Just so my blind eyes would finally see I can't do this on my own And I don't have to be alone (So) Help me Send Calvary to the rescue I need you to Save me I have nothing to hold on to I need you I'm filled with doubt So get me out I don't care for this one bit I need blue skies To dry my eyes I just can't take it No I can't do this on my own And I don't have to be alone (So) Help me Send Calvary to the rescue I need you to Save me I have nothing to hold on to I need you (I am broken Rescue me) I need you to Save me I have nothing to hold on to I need you 07. Who You Think I Am
You think that I'm losing my mind
You think that I'm hopelessly blind You Think that I'm weak but I'm strong You think that I'm down but your wrong You don't Have a clue Do you? Nothing you say Nothing you do Matters to me It's really nothing new So laugh all you want Cause I don't give a damn I'm not, I'm not who you think I am You think that I'm just a disgrace You think that I'm just wasted space You think that I'm dumb Well nice try. You think that I'm lost, its a lie You don't Have a clue Do you? Nothing you say Nothing you do Matters to me It's really nothing new So laugh all you want Cause I don't give a damn I'm not, I'm not who you think I am You don't know the first thing You don't know the first thing No. You don't know the first thing You don't know the first thing about me Nothing you say Nothing you do Matters to me It's really nothing new So laugh all you want Cause I don't give a damn I'm not, I'm not who you think I am Nothing you say Nothing you do Matters to me It's really nothing new So laugh all you want Cause I don't give a damn I'm not, I'm not who you think I am Who you think I am I don't give a damn Who you think I am I don't give a damn 08. I Tried
What have you to prove
I honestly don't care It's all so petty, so petty I cant get in a word So go and speak your mind I hope, your happy, your happy If there's one thing You remember Though I tried to warn you I don't have all the answers But I know a thing or two I see it, believe it You've been eaten up by pride If there's one thing You remember Remember I tried I don't how how To make you understand Cause you wont listen, wont listen Whats come over you It's getting out of hand Just stop Your bitching' your bitching If there's one thing You remember Though I tried to warn you I don't have all the answers But I know a thing or two I see it, believe it You've been eaten up by pride If there's one thing You remember Remember I tried If there's one thing You remember Though I tried to warn you I don't have all the answers But I know a thing or two I see it, believe it You've been eaten up by pride If there's one thing You remember Remember I tried 09. Just Watch Me
I've realized the errors of my ways
I've come to terms that I've gone astray I'm far from perfect I know that I have let you down But that will change this time around I'll earn your respect No promises broken That's for sure No wishing and hoping I find a magic cure This time I'll do things differently This time I will do it Just watch me It's clear you're scared and I understand It's not been great just like we planned But I will show you No promises broken That's for sure No wishing and hoping I find a magic cure This time I'll do things differently This time I will do it Just watch me 10. This Is War
Tell me what are you trying to prove
Spreading lies spinning stories What gain do you get from all of this Is it fame is it glory Don't try to be someone that you're not 'Cause you know I'm not buying The more that you open up your mouth It's more time that you're lying It's time To re- Define You and me It's clear That you Are my Enemy I'm ready So why don't you come get me What are you waiting for There's no point in charades any more This is war This is war I see how you're playing innocent But I know what you're doing You smile as you stab me in the back So that trouble is brewing To you it's all one big silly game Just to see me defeated I hope that you've gotten all your thrills Did you get what you needed It's time To re- Define You and me It's clear That you Are my Enemy I'm ready So why don't you come get me What are you waiting for There's no point in charades any more This is war This is war You couldn't leave well enough alone The lights are on but nobody's home It's time To re- Define You and me It's clear That you Are my Enemy I'm ready So why don't you come get me What are you waiting for There's no point in charades any more This is war This is war 11. Superstar
A masquerade
The spotlights glare Exquisite fads to view Your every move Fixated eyes on you The camera waits as you prepare It comes so easily Once borrowed shoes Now high society A celebrity Your dreams Are now reality You've got everything Adored A two edged sword Magazines, silver screens A Superstar You cannot stand what you've become It's lost all its appeal Your entourage Has no clue what you feel This time it's for real Your dreams Are now reality You've got everything Adored A two edged sword Magazines, silver screens A Superstar Not sure you like what you've become How you think, what you feel Should you care, how you look What you're paid to put on Know your part of the deal Your dreams Are now reality You've got everything Adored A two edged sword Magazines, silver screens A Superstar Influence the youth Adored Unbecoming of you Exposed One will never know Nothing they can prove A true Superstar's What you are 12. Coming Home
Feels like rain
Closing in on me again Cant deny Angry skies are falling So farewell Wish there was some other way Cant undo, There's no use in trying I hope that they will understand Know that I wont be coming home Far away from where I belong Tell my wife, my best friend Both my children I love them Know that I, Know that I wont be coming home Speak the truth Know me for the man I am Don't you cry Water came from dying Know me for the man I am Know that I wont be coming home Far away from where I belong Tell my wife, my best friend Both my children I love them Know that I, Know that I wont be coming home What if I, I told you then Could you help me Would you help to Set me free I cant feel any remorse Have no recourse Apathy Apathy Running out of time I hope they will understand Know that I wont be coming home Far away from where I belong Tell my wife, my best friend Both my children I love them Know that I, Know that I wont be coming home 13.
