01. Elevate

Music by Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy
Lyrics by Richie Kotzen
Lost in the dark I feel like
A shadow of myself
I'm not what I was I keep
Looking for another second
Chance to get me clean

Elevate me take me higher
I don't wanna be wasted
I've got nothing left to lose
It's a little known fact I see
Everything black and I don't
Wanna face it
Elevate me take me higher

The smoke and the dust has
Taken me in over my head
No one to trust I'm feeling
Like I'm closer than I was
To the end

Elevate me take me higher
I don't wanna be wasted
I've got nothing left to lose
It's a little known fact I see
Everything black and I don't
Wanna face it
Elevate me take me higher

I'm tired of taking the test
Don't test me
My troubled mind is a mess
You know I'm... I'm only doing
My best to be set free

Elevate me take me higher
I don't wanna be wasted
I've got nothing left to lose

It's a little known fact I see
Everything black and I don't
Wanna face it
Elevate me take me higher

02. Desire

Music by Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy
Lyrics by Richie Kotzen
You got me so spun that
I can't control my head
Now I don't know who I am
You're acting so sly but you
Know what you did
And I can't seem to get
You off my mind

I'm tempted by the heat
Of desire
aAd you've got me at
The end of my rope
You bait me like your victim

For hire
But I want you so... I don't
Think that I can let go

O not just yet cuz I can't
Forget

I'd leave you behind but you're
Everywhere I go
Ain't no way to get out
You got me hooked on your
Drug and I'm losing all
Control
Now I know I'll never be the
Same... no...

I'm tempted by the heat
Of desire
And you've got me
At the end of my rope
You bait me like your victim
For hire
But I want you so... I don't
Think that I can let go

Is this just some thing
We call desire
Stop me if I'm preaching to
The choir

Tempted by the heat
Of desire
And you've got me at the end
Of my rope
You know you bait me
Like your victim for hire
And I don't stand a chance up
Against you baby
I'm tempted by the heat
Of desire
You know I let you play me like
A victim for hire
and I want you so... I don't
Think that I can let go
O hell no

03. We Are One

Music by Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy
Lyrics by Richie Kotzen
Deep in this fight to survive
Always hurting
Alone in the dark with
No light always searching

Keep us lost in our devices
Blinded broken and deceived
Time has come to be the
Righteous
Stand up and fight the power

There's no way they can stop
Us now
We're the stars tonight and
We are one
There's nobody that can bring
Us down
We're united and they don't
Want us to be

Come to this day where our
Lives can't be broken
Now here we are with our
Future wide open

Time has come for us to rise
From the depths of their
Disease
There's no hope if we divide
Stand up and fight the power

There's no way they can stop
Us now
We're the stars tonight and
We are one
There's nobody that can bring
Us down
We're united and they don't
Want us to be

We are one and won't be
Shaken
It's our prophecy
And the light is on
For the taking
Stand up and fight the power

There's no way they can stop
Us now
We're the stars tonight and
We are one
There's nobody that can bring
Us down
We're united and they don't
Want us to be

They wanna keep you on the
Ground with a foot on your
Neck
Make you feel like you're
Defeated

04. I'm No Angel

Music by Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy
Lyrics by Richie Kotzen
Can you get me back on
My feet
Can you make me think
That my mojo is rising
O' I only follow the beat
Of survival
Do you wanna to go
The dirt for me

I'm no angel can't you see
I've got nothing that you need
My misfortune dance with me
I'm no angel

Why you wanna be on your
Knees?
Yea it's wearing thin but you
Keep on trying
But I'm just becoming disease
On your fire
Yea it's just a fact that I
Know I know I know

I'm no angel can't you see
I've got nothing that you need
My misfortune dance with me
I'm no angel

Don't you think you should
Have learned by now
You can't put your faith in
The devil when you wanna
See god

I'm no angel can't you see
I've got nothing that you need
My misfortune dance with me
I'm no angel

I'm no angel It's so clear
To me I've got nothing
I've got nothing I could offer
You... my misfortune... dance
With me
I'm no angel

05. The Other Side

Music by Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy
Lyrics by Richie Kotzen
I'm on the edge and I feel like
I'm falling
too many tries left me tired
And used
Here I am lost and defeated
Now what can I do?

I ain't complaining or blaming
Nobody
I'm what I am and I'm fine with
The truth
Made some commitments
Decisions put nothing on you

And now it's come to be
I'm at the great divide
And nothing nothing nothing
Nothing seems to be there
She kicked my heart aside and
Took my soul to keep
I'm running running running
Running running can't you see

O dim my light I don't wanna
Wake up
Meet me when we cross the
Other side

Trying to not let my head get
Too heavy
Sometimes I don't even understand
What I really mean
The only mistake that I made
Was I counted on you

So now I'm in the deep with
Nowhere left to turn
And all I see are the
Reflections of my demons
I gave my heart away...
She's got my soul to keep
I'm running running running
Running running can't you see

O dim my light I don't wanna
Wake up
Way too many things been on
My mind
Sand in my eyes... take me off
My feet
Meet me when we cross the
Other side

06. You Saved Me

Music by Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy
Lyrics by Mike Portnoy
The world can kick you when
You're down
And it shows no mercy
It makes them smile to
See you frown
But just wait and they
Will see

Less would kill a weaker man
But it's been keeping me alive
Through all the negativity
Somehow I know I will survive
And when the clouds
Have all passed by
They'll see we'll both be
Standing

When sunshine turned to gray
You saved me in my darkest
Hour
You stood by me and stayed
You gave me all my strength
And power

We've seen the others come
And go
Through the thick and through
The thin
And when I thought of letting
Go
Somehow you knew we'd
Always win

And when the dust finally
Settled
We were both still standing
When sunshine turned to gray
You saved me in my darkest
Hour
You stood by me and stayed
You gave me all my strength
And power
And when I was left for dead
And everybody turned away
I heard every word you said
And you helped me to set me free

When sunshine turned to gray
You saved me in my darkest
Hour
You stood by me and stayed
You gave me all my strength
And power

When sunshine turn to
Gray in my darkest hour
You stood by me and stayed
Stay with me my guiding angel

07. Not Hopeless

Music by Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy
Lyrics by Richie Kotzen
I wanna take all the walls...
Break em down to the ground
Whatever comes with the
Fall... turn it upside down
Fooling yourself... a word
From the wise
You'rr making your hell...
You gotta know that you
Don't have nine lives

Open the door there's
Nothing to lose anymore
Whatever you believed in
Before you know it's not
Hopeless
Come on pick yourself up
Off the floor
And find out what you're
Really fighting for
Whatever you believed in
Before you know it's not
Hopeless

I don't have anything here...
Nothing I can't live without
The road is suddenly clear
And I don't have any doubt

You live with the pain...
And keep on tempting
Your fate
I've been through the same
You oughta know that it's
Never too late

Open the door there's
Nothing to lose anymore
Whatever you believed in
Before you know it's not
Hopeless
Come on pick yourself
Up off the floor
And find out what you're
Really fighting for
Whatever you believed in
Before you know it's not
Hopeless

A new plan to follow
If you can
Bleed out yesterday
Is over
A new man the future's
In your hands
see now how to make it sober
Because yesterday is over
Open the door there's
Nothing to lose anymore

Whatever you believed in
Before you know it's not
Hopeless
You gotta pick yourself
Up off the floor
And find out what you're
Really fighting for
Whatever you believed in
Before you know you're
Not hopeless

08. One More Time

Music by Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy
Lyrics by Richie Kotzen
Tell me what's your drama...
What do you want this time?
Can we finally make amends?
You know I don't like to fight
Put away the past because
I don't regret my past
We got a second chance so
Can we get it right can we try

One more time I'm gonna
Bring you back
But it's up to you tonight
Time forgives and so do I
Give us one more time give us
One more time

Looking out for nothing...
I'm tired of making moves
The games that we play lead
To misfortune
Open up your door and turn
Up your midnight light
Do you wanna be alone or do
You want what you came for

One more time I'm gona bring
You back
But it's up to you tonight
Time forgives and so do I
Give us one more time give us
One more time

I can't tell but feel like you're
Closer to me
Shrouded in your mystery
Here we are we're back in love
And that's the pay off
Come on baby give it

One more time I'm gonna
Bring you back
But it's up to you tonight
Time forgives and so do I
Give us one more time give
Us one more time

Come on back... o baby
Come on back home
And give me one more time

09. Damaged

Music & lyrics by Richie Kotzen
I don't think I should be here
...but maybe we can make it
Through the night
I don't know what I'm feeling...
Maybe that it's better
Somewhere else

Somewhere where my mind
Turns off and my heart
Becomes the guide
And maybe my guard is down
But I don't seem to mind... oooo

But I'm damaged from the man
That I was yesterday
Yea it's the damage from the
Light that one time used to
Shine on me
And now it's over and done...

You make me think I'm feeling...
But you know I'm just
Vulture on your heart
And I don't want to be that...
I'm sorry I mislead you
From the start

To somewhere I've never been
And I could never be

So maybe my time is up and
I should let it be... oooo

But I'm damaged from the man
That I was yesterday
I guess I'm damaged from
The path that I walked led
Me astray
And now it's over and done...

Yea I'm damaged from the man
That I was yesterday
I guess I'm damaged from
The path that I walked led me
Astray
I guess I'm damaged from
The choices I made yesterday
And you know It's damage done
There's nothing more I can say
And now it's over and done

10. Six Feet Deeper

Music by Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy
Lyrics by Richie Kotzen
Looks like I'm down in the
Gutter with a forty in a bag
She's spending all of my
Dollars and I'm fading fast

I'm getting buried under
Pressure and it's killing me
I don't know how long I'll last

I'm six feet deeper and I can't
Dig my way out
She got me buried so low
It's cheaper to keep her
Six feet deeper help me now
O no I don't know where to go

I used to feel so alive now
I'm the living dead
Too many years under fire
It's going straight to my head

I'm getting weaker by the
Hour can you help me please?
I must have been mislead

I'm six feet deeper and
I can't dig my way out
She got me buried so low
It's cheaper to keep her
Six feet deeper help me now

11. Time Machine

Music by Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy
Lyrics by Richie Kotzen
Everything in place
Resting in this hole I dug
Time keeping pace
Thinking that it's all been
Done

Day after day I wait there
Wasting my time

I lift my spirit with the shit
I swore I would let go
I tell myself that I ain't
Slipping and it's under
Control
But I'm out of control

Hardened like a stone
Broken cracked piece of me
Take me to the one
Trap me in a time machine

O the time machine I ride
O take me back relive my life
I'd go behind and change the
Tide... but where do I
Come from?
O the time machine I ride

12. Criminal

13. The Dying

Music by Richie Kotzen, Billy Sheehan, Mike Portnoy
Lyrics by Richie Kotzen
Tell me what tell me what
But I, I don't care anymore
I was born lost like a fool
But nobody cares about
My kind
I have a dream o but
It can't be mine
It's on and on and on and
On I don't care anymore

I toyed with the demons that
I had but I'm past that now
They say I coulda had it all
But you know I don't.. I don't
Care anymore
You know I'm trying to lead
But I'm weaker than you see
There's no sense in disguising
I don't care anymore

Brush the mind trick off
My shoulder
Bring the monster to his
Knees

I'm the war and I'm the
Soldier
I'm the dying and I am the seed
I'm talking so smooth but
I know it's all nothing I need
I got so many moves to trick
You see but I'm just cancer
To all
And maybe watching you bleed
Is the answer to my dreams
I gotta leave it all behind

Brush the mind trick off
My shoulder
Bring the monster to
His knees
I'm the war and I'm
The soldier
I'm the dying and I am the seed

14. Regret

Music & lyrics by Richie Kotzen
How many times are we gonna
Play the game
Thinking that it's gonna
Change
I wish I could somehow
Forget your face
It ain't easy to turn and walk
Away

So if I'm nothing to you
Everything is everything that
You wanted

How did I let myself go
We've been down this road
Before... I've seen it
I guess by now we should
Know
But you make it hard to
Let go

How many times are you
Gonna make me pay
For my feelings that I can't
Deny
You show me hope then then you
Take away
Keep me believing it's
Something in your eyes

But I'm feeling that
Anything can change
Everything is everything that
We make it
How did I let myself go
We've been down this road
Before.. I've seen it
I guess by now we should
Know
Maybe this time we should
Leave it all behind

I paid debt and now I think
I understand regret
I guess it's time to be a man
And face the time that
I've spent using you
How did I know I'd regret
O I paid debt and now
I understand regret
It's time to be a man
And face all the time that
I spent using you
How could I know I would
Regret
I didn't know I was losing
You...
