BELIEVE (2006) Don't look back Now that the tide is rolling in There's
no time to think of all that could have been Here and now We're never gonna live again One of a kind, still finding
who we are
We'll never be lonely If you just find
out what you want We'll never be holding back This heart attack keeps me on my feet
And now I find out where I started from I
need to find me something to believe in 'fore it's done Fallin' down, but I won't give up, I've just begun I need to
find me something to believe in 'fore it's done
Don't look back All of the emptiness
you left far behind you There's no space to weigh you down Taking down All of the memories you kept Take a long,
hard look at all you've been
We'll never be lonely If you just find
out what you want We'll never be holding back This heart attack sweeps me off my feet
And now I find out where I started from I
need to find me something to believe in 'fore it's done Fallin' down, but I won't give up, I've just begun I need to
find me something to believe in 'fore it's done
Take a glance at your last chance The
time is now, believe Believe, believe we'll make it out alive
We'll never be lonely If you just find
out what you want We'll never be holding back This heart attack sweeps me off my feet
And now I find out where I started from I
need to find me something to believe in 'fore it's done Can't stop from fallin' down, but I won't give up, I've just begun I
need to find me something to believe in 'fore it's done Find me something to believe in 'fore it's done
So, come on, take a glance at your last
chance The time is now, believe
BLACK COFFEE (2008)
I swear I've gone in circles, dodging
yellow machines
Tryin' to get my head straight
I try to keep in mind that this is only a scene
And I am just a stowaway
Thought I could relate to the glass-covered mountains
Gliding through a smoke-screen
Quarters fill my pockets with the need to feed the homeless man
Inside the alleyway
Preacher's scream of Jesus while you wait for the train
Where am I going? Won't you show me the way?
Hold on, check my reflection, look at everything change
My former-self is gonna push me away
Black coffee, pouring out these strangers hanging out
All wake up to nothing at all
I bought myself a compass, breaking free from the map
Lost here on the subway
Then drank up all the water, pouring out of the tap
Aw, damn, I made another mistake
I'm going crazy, sirens sing me to sleep
So, what's the hurry, people? Lining the streets
A million street-walkers always seem so pretentcious
Oh, not to mention, cut the sound of the engines
Black coffee, pouring out these strangers hanging out
All wake up to nothing at all
This is the sound of my feet moving on, they're moving on
And this is the sound of my head holding on, it's holding on
This is the sound of my soul breaking down, it's breaking down
And this is the sound of my heart-
Break
Stuck in a slot-car, got my face to the glass
Deep in the blur, I see my clarity pass
Is my reflection gonna show me the past?
Cause I see myself goin' nowhere fast
This is the sound of my heart
Break
OH JENNY... (2008) Say beautiful, you make me sick! It’s been a while, she’s
wondering: “what happened?” She brought up every letter that she’d sent I politely explained: “I
moved far away, and I’m sorry” Oh I know we had some fun, but you know I’ve gotta run Now, I’ve
got so much to do, cause I’ve found someone new
And in fact I think that she’s the one But when
you asked for my new number, I said: “okay” But deep behind my breath I’m screaming: “no way!”
Oh no, I don’t wanna make her heart break Oh-oh-oh, but can’t you tell when a smile’s
fake? Oh-oh-oh, I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you Oh no, I bet you’re thinkin’ bout our first
kiss Oh-oh-oh, Cause you were sober kissing drunk lips Oh-oh-oh, I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you
Hey beautiful, you make me sick! You sung the words to “Secret”, I’m embarrassed Still
she asked me why she never made my friend list Replied: “there’s just room at the top for friends that matter” Oh,
I’m sorry for the mess, I never stole your innocence She said she taped an outline to the floor,
Right where I slept the night before You kept my shirt for years, pinned to your doorway So on
your way to school you get my smell all over you
Oh no, Looks like I missed another birthday Oh-oh-oh, I won’t be jumpin’ outta your cake Oh-oh-oh,
I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you Oh no, I bet you’re thinkin’ bout our first kiss Oh-oh-oh,
Cause you were sober kissing drunk lips Oh-oh-oh, I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you
Call a doctor cause it’s time you had your prescriptions re-filled Bi-polar opposites never
attract, see, you’re gonna get me killed! Now don’t you think I would’ve shown up with roses at your
door? Obviously, don’t you agree?
I think you best forget the past and leave me
But she’s too sweet to make her eyes swell up She’s too sweet to let her make-up run She’s
too sweet to be in love with a fool like me!
Oh no, I don’t wanna make her heart break Oh-oh-oh, but can’t you tell you were a mistake? Oh-oh-oh,
I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you Oh no, I bet you’re thinkin’ bout our first kiss Oh-oh-oh,
Cause you were sober kissing drunk lips Oh-oh-oh, I thought I made a clean getaway, away from you Oh no, I don’t
wanna make her heart break Oh-oh-oh, but she's still waiting on the first date Oh-oh-oh, I thought I made a clean getaway,
away from you Away from you Away, away, away
LET ME DOWN (2008) Here’s a pair of shoes and
a parachute I’ll walk you up the mountain, just to let you down I’ll be on the ground, with my arms stretched
out I won’t let you find your feet, I’ll just spin you round
And round again, round again
And down again, you’re down again Should we stop?
Should I let you down again, down again?
You say you love the way, that you’d do the same to me We just let each other down, but love
is always on the way When you let me down
You let me down
Should I push you into the pool again? You scream, tread the cold water, but I know you can swim When
you're in the mood, I'm not into you
I get off the way you pound on my door and you beg for more
Cause I love the way, that you’d do the same to me We just let each other down, but love is
always on the way When you let me down, would you lift me up
When I’m on the ground? With a kiss, good luck, oh you will
Everybody stares, we’re the perfect pair Misery loves company; throw my burdens in a row Line
them up for you, like I always do And I roll with every punch
Cause when I’m down, you lift me up
And you love the way, that you’d do the same to me We just let each other down, but love is
always on the way When you let me down, would you lift me up
When I’m on the ground? With a kiss, good luck, oh you will, you will
Let me down
WRECK (A BITTER SONG)
(2008)
God damn, I'm a sensitive wreck
Cut my losses, readymade to collect
I've been down, I guess I've been here before
My intentions on the cutting-room floor, oh hell
I'm at war with the world, all because of a girl
I'm at war with myself, along with everybody else
It don't feel so good to be outside, I hide away, away
I don't need someone to be someone
I've come undone, don't say another word to me
Replace the smoke that fills my lungs with bitter songs
Cause I'm a wreck
God damn, all my senses have burned
Lost all feeling 'fore I swallowed the worm
But this ash fits better than a heart on my sleeve
Could I swap this disease for much less than I need?
Been at war with the world, all because of a girl
Like I'm at war with myself, along with everybody else
Now, I don't know who I've become
I cleanse my soul, betrayed
I don't need someone to be someone
I've come undone, don't say another world to me
Replace the smoke that fills my lungs with bitter songs
Cause I'm a wreck
I'm a wreck
I couldn't tell you why I'm not the same
It's still a mystery to me
I crack a smile, thinking you're to blame
I live and die by history
But I'd let it go, if I knew how to turn my back on you right now
Today is not the day
I wish this life away
I'm at war with the world
I'm at war with the world
I'm at war with the world
All because of the girl who stole my life away
Hooray!
I'll remember the day when I tried to escape
I'm a wreck, I'm afraid I might need someone to be someone
I don't need someone to be someone
I've come undone, don't say another word to me
Replace the smoke that fills my lungs with bitter songs
Cause I'm a wreck
I'm afraid I couldn't be someone
I need someone, don't say another word to me
Replace this smoke that fills my lungs with bitter songs
Cause I'm a wreck
A LIFE WITHOUT (2006)
Hello world
Where ya been?
It's been a long time since I've lived
Smell the air
Taste the sunlight
Cause this just might be the last day of my life
So alive
I'm reborn
It's like I finally know what I'm here for
It took a while
To realize I'm all I have
And I will be just fine
It's not the end of the world
Living a life without love
It's not the end of time
In my soul
Douse the fire
Take the cold from the air
Tonight I dance in the rain
No more complaints, I could die on a day like this
It's not the end of the world
Living a life without love
It's not the end of time
Change the locks before I lose my mind
Ticking clocks that never told the time
I won't waste the day again
Because in my head, I'm gonna be okay
Without love
Hello world
How've you been?
I never thought we'd meet again
Since I've lived a life without love
Without love
Oh, if I die alone
It'll be worth while
But seeing as I'm here
I'll live my life in style
No regret to hold
It's all within my power
I will seize the days, weeks, months in all the hours
All without love
Na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na
SECOND TIME AROUND (2005)
I try my hardest not to call
How hard could it be?
I could erase your number from my phone
But temptation might come over me
And knock me right back off my feet again
We can build a big house
Build it high upon a cloud
You could be my muse, baby, I could play the clown
Oh, we could paint the town
But first, we'd better knock the old one down
Knock it down
Time will keep us both in line
Distance makes things better
Maybe it could change your mind
Oh, I hope we're still alive to spend our lives together
We could do this right the second time around
When the wine has gotten sour
And the drugs go out of style
We've been on the road for oh, so many miles
I'm wishin' you were still around
Cause I can't keep the sky from coming down
Knock it down
Time will keep us both in line
Distance makes things better
Maybe it could change your mind
Oh, I hope we're still alive, to spend our lives together
Yeah, we could do this right the second time around, oh-oh
I'll be clinging to your wall
No, I'll never drop the ball, oh no
The love was good, the sex was fun
But now you got me on the run
In time, we could work this out
Time will keep us both in line
Distance makes things better
Maybe it could change your mind
Oh, I hope I'm still alive
Cause I'll love you more than ever
Distance makes things better with time
And when our souls collide, we could do this right
Cause I'm tired of these lonely nights, watching my life pass me by
Gonna love you, I'll love you the second time
around
We could do this right
SLOW DANCING (2007) There she hides, beneath the sheets With all the treasure I could seek And I can’t
wait to find you Silently, she breathes my name I leave the lights and spark the flame And now I’m coming for
you, oh Can we slip away? Can I pull you close to me? While we spin around, where our feet don’t touch the
ground Tonight I’m slow dancing, slow dancing with you
Rest my hands upon her hips And
slowly, slide my fingertips All senses, taking over All that she craves, I make her wait She begs for more, anticipates Hard
breathing, heart beating
She’s never felt like this before Can
we slip away?
Can I pull you close to me
While we spin around, where our feet don't touch the ground
Oh, tonight I'm slow dancing, slow dancing with you
I took a quick look in her eyes My
stomach filled with butterflies Your body fits me like a glove That I can never love enough I’ll start with
kissing on your lips Until there’s nothing left to kiss Oh, I’ll do anything and everything for you So,
can we slip away? Can I pull you close to me? While we spin around, where our feet don’t touch the ground Tonight
I’m slow dancing, slow dancing with you
YOU BROKE MY HEART (2003) Bury me deep in the ground 'Cause I can't bear to feel the
sun beating down on me Build my home water tight Cause it's safe to say I've had my share of rain for one lifetime I'm
drowning in quicksand, but it's better than the clean air Cold and without feeling, but maybe that's a good thing Someday I'll be ready to love again I'll love again Oh,
but now I have no feeling in my heart You broke my heart
Send my soul straight to the clouds Way
up high, I'll never hear a sound Scream with all my might Maybe loud enough to haunt you for a whole lifetime If
you want me, you can have me, and it's safe to say I'm lonely My heart is frozen-cold and dead, I'll never have to love
again Someday I'll be ready to love again I'll love again Oh, but now I have no feeling in my heart You broke
my heart You broke my heart If you wanna leave me let me know There's a chance I'll let you go Or I'll never let
you go Oh, you know I loved you from the start And you had to break my heart You had to break my heart Someday
I'll be ready to love again Now I have no feeling in my heart
SATELLITE (2007)
Satellite, you’ve caught my eye,
looking for a peace of mind Lost between
the pages of my life
I can’t find a place to hide, nothing
left to hide behind I walked upon the four-leaf clovers Crushing all the luck left over, now
Satellite, satellite Won’t you
show me the way back home? Satellite, satellite
Satellite, I’ve taken strides Chances
are I’m getting by, but love is just so hard for me to find
Never had a valentine, that lasted on
through Christmas time I’m breaking all new resolutions An annual state of confusion, now
Satellite, satellite Won’t you
show me the way back home? Satellite, satellite All I really need is hope Satellite
I don’t know how much more I can
take I could use a light No, I couldn’t find my way without a satellite
Satellite, you fill my life But, couldn’t
you just turn on the lights? My world is filled with cold, dark corners I can’t find my way to love without my
satellite Won’t you show me the way back home? Show me the way back home Show me the way back home Show
me
DREAM OF LOVE (2007) My car has just run
out of gasoline My phone is almost out of battery And now I’m stranded somewhere in between The love that hides
here inside of me
I look around only to find my queen The
one that hides in all my fantasies But in this weather, she remains unseen Just a lover only found in dreams Just
a lover only found in my dreams
My feet will wander through the darkness My
eyes will climb into the sky Cause all I do is dwell upon this dream of love to be alive
Will life just spit me out? When all
I dream about is Sweet love, breaking me down I’ve had enough of waiting Reoccurring dreams of scenes Indifferent
to the make-believe Cause I will always dream of love
I check the time, I see it’s getting
late Should I hitch a ride, or hesitate? I wonder just how long I’ll have to wait For the pleasure of her shining
face Come and take me far away from this place
Will life just spit me out? When all
I dream about is Sweet love, breaking me down I’ve had enough of waiting Reoccurring dreams of scenes Indifferent
to the make-believe Cause I will always dream of love
TIME BOMB (OUT OF MY HANDS) (2006) Too
late to pull apart your enemies No time to pull yourself together now Somehow this life has got the best of me Now
all the pieces scatter all around
Nowhere to hide from all the agony The
sands of time are turning me to stone Maybe this fate has been my destiny A time bomb is getting ready to explode
The downward spiral of a black hole Swallows
the future of humanity Even the gods supposed to save souls Cannot escape the pull of gravity
Tick tock, murder all of the hours here That
I have fought so hard to save Locked up, you've taken all of my powers
And I can't find an exit
Tick tock, no, the world never stops There’s
a time bomb ticking A time bomb ticking away Tick tock, it’s the fate of the hour The tides will raise and
wash us all away again
I turn to dust because I gave everything I’m
starting to rust all because I gave everything to you It’s out of my hands, out of my hands again
Volcano’s slide into an earthquake Flood
waters boil under hurricanes I guess it’s better than a heart-break A river pouring blood, out from my veins
Volcano’s slide into an earthquake Flood
waters boil under hurricanes I guess it’s better than a heart-break A river pouring blood, out from my veins
Tick tock, I’m inside of a clock It’s
a time bomb ticking A time bomb ticking away Tick tock, it’s the fate of the hour The tides will raise and
wash us all away again
I turn to dust because I gave everything I’m
starting to rust all because I gave everything to you It’s out of my hands, out of my hands again
MARIONETTE (2005) How long, how long will it take to set you
straight I just don’t know how long I could go on like this alone Oh, when everything goes wrong, I shrug your
challenge off But you drag it out so long “So long”, is all I want to say
I’ve had enough of you Cause
I gave it all And now that I’m drained away, there’s nothing left to lose Oooh, I gave it all to you
Now all that you mean to me, means nothing
in your eyes Why do I even try? It’s so hard to make ends meet, they’re frayed besides How long, how
long will I live with the choice you leave me with Before I break in two, until I’m done with you This bullshit
mind I’ve held too tight
I’ve had enough of you Cause
I gave it all The sunlight fades to rainy days, there’s nothing left to lose Oooh, I gave it all to you
Such a long way down Such a long way
down Spun round and round Such a long way down Why do I even try to find the brighter side of you?
Tired of the leash you’re holding Held
so tight, to keep me choking Tired of living hopelessly In all the shit you pull with me I’m tired of the melodrama Every
time you run I want to Let you find a better love To have, to hold, to push, to shove Tired of losing, tired of giving Lies
swallow the hope we’re living Tired of cleaning up your mess So tired of being second best Tired of being tired
of every thing you do, so sick and tired of One more time, so fucking tired of telling you I love you back
SOLDIER OF DESIRE
(2006) I move along, a sole survivor On a white
horse, riding through Now I’ve been searching, soul searching Only dreams provide the sight of you
I’m taking chances, so many chances I lay it all down on the
line I plot a course, I make advances I won’t sleep at night, or close my eyes until I find you
Surrender Gonna hold you, don’t put up a fight, cause it’s
alright Surrender Gonna kiss you anywhere I’d like, if you don’t mind
I’m a soldier of desire Throw the bullets in the fire I’m
a soldier of desire So, let your guard down
I’m growing old, I’m growing tired Her candle’s
burning at both ends If I could find the time to hold on, or move on Or pretend to fill the emptiness I worry that
I may never have the taste of love again
I move in to kiss those sugary lips that I have been waiting for I’m
losing my grip, I’m starting to slip, its something you can’t ignore And if there’s a way you may push
me away, then I’ll only ask for more Just one quick kiss stuck to your lips, no, I won’t miss, oh, I insist
So, what’s wrong? It’s alright So, you wanna get on with
your life It’s time you made your mind and found the time to keep me Could you keep me here?
No, stop. I searched the whole world to find you. Now, doesn’t
that mean a thing? I thought I found a love, but love could never be enough to Disarm you,
Disarm you, Surrender
SYMPHONY OF THE WEREWOLF (2006) Hunter
of the darkness Harbinger of fright Killer of the innocents Prey on them tonight
Blood is your desire The full moon
has arrived Burning like a fire Inside your hallowed eyes
Howling in the shadows Frighteners
beware Sinking in his teeth With a devils stare
I can feel its breath Beating on my
skin The souls he will collect Rest inside of him
The moon is full Its skin has pulled An
animal of animals
Echoing so dire The beast will not
give in Murdering all liars Let the night begin
The moon is full Its skin has pulled An
animal of animals
BRAND NEW DAY (2006) I cannot wait until tomorrow Let the
new day come Wake up the sky and morning, reign This wild sensation Out of the darkest clouds That I’ve
been hanging in so long Blackout the stars and hang the sun Right back where it belongs
In this sky of mine And I feel so high I
can’t wait to start a brand new day
Walking along this winding road With
everyone I know And if I end up back where I started I’m better off alone So much faith in all my friends They’ll
surely lead the way Turn your back on me again You’d better stay away
In this sky of mine Cause I feel so
high I can’t wait to start a brand new day
And I don’t need another helping
hand Only me, and my shadow understand It took so long to find, but it was with me all along Now I don’t want
this brand new day to end With these tired eyes I have been so blind Cutting all my ties For the warm sunshine
In this sky of mine Now I feel so high Cutting
all my ties For the warm sunshine In this sky of mine Now I feel so high
TO MY LOVE: I'M LEAVING YOU (2006) To
my love, It’s safe to say I’m finally moving on, so, good luck I know you’re strong enough to carry
all your weight around
Without another one to hold you down Not
another sound, I’m leaving you
To my love, It won’t be hard
to find another soul to be loved They’re lined up on your doorstep in the cold I’ve turned my head away,
I’m hiding all my tears this time Not another sound, I’m leaving you
So, goodbye, so long I need to find
where I belong I’ll no longer find a safe-haven in your arms, no To my love I’ve taken all
my things, I’m leaving you Had enough I’m cutting free from all of the abuse There’s much that
I would change, but you stole all my faith away from me Not another sound, I’m leaving you Not another sound,
I’m leaving you
It’s goodbye, so long Not another
sound, I’m leaving you
TOO QUICK, TOO SOON (2006)
I've been thinking you've been missing
Always preying on your taking
So where have you been hiding lately?
I've been waiting on you to wake me
Here, there is nothing left to keep me awake
Here, there is no one who needs me to stay
Oh, won't you come along and show me the way
Just goodbye, too quick, too soon to lose you
I've been thinking of your kisses
Head to the door, lonely, listening
So where have you been staying lately?
I'll be dreaming, won't you come wake me?
Here, there is nothing left to keep me awake
Here, there is no one who needs me to stay
oh, won't you come along and show me the way
Just goodbye, too quick, too soon to lose you
It's goodbye, too quick
Stuck inside this box, you're on the other side and you're laughing
Sometimes I get so hot, I'm just lost in love, it's all the way I feel
Wish me away, when I need to stay, but you always leave me out
Just goodbye, too quick
When you give, you're only giving out from dreaming
When you give, you're only giving out
Hoping, praying, I've been missing
From you, do you wish to kiss me?
Willing, able, on your way home
Come show me, I'm lonely, be my one and only
It's too quick, just too soon for goodbye
Then I lose you
FLIPSIDE OF A PHOTOGRAPH (2004)
If I told you that I love you, would you turn around and walk away?
And if I brought myself to kiss you, would you get me back?
Or laugh right in my face?
If I gave you space, call it emptiness, or your saving grace
And if I use all my faith, would you do the same for me?
Would you say: "baby, I need you just as much as you need me
I'm not enough, without your touch
I need to feel you next to me"
Maybe you've been doing the same thing
Staring at a flipside of a photograph
And there, the only words you'll have to remember me
Everything we said, all the words we meant
I could use a little faith
If you say that you're my friend, then why do I feel like the enemy?
And when you told me "it's the end"
Then why did you leave, and crawl right to my feet?
And if I beg you, please, to try
Well, could you at least put a little faith in me?
And if you tell me it's okay to cry, then why do I get no sympathy?
Would you say: "baby, I need you just as much as you need me
I'm not enough, without your touch
I need to feel you next to me"
Maybe you've been doing the same thing
Staring at a flipside of a photograph
And there, the only words you'll have to remember me
Remember me, remember me
You're all that I have left, all that I have left
I could use a little faith
Did you want me to be yours again?
Did you want me to be your saving grace?
Did you want me at all?
Did you want me to crawl
Say: "baby, I need you just as much as you need me
I'm not enough, without your touch
I need to feel you next to me"
Maybe you've been doing the same thing
Staring at a flipside of a photograph
And there, the only words you'll have to remember me
You're all that I have left
Staring back at me through a photograph
MADE FOR ME (2006) Caught inside those
heavy eyes They’re searching through my troubled mind, oh yeah I could sing sweet lullabies But you can see through my disguise, oh yeah
I start to see you were made for me From
the first impression, did you notice my attention? Never fades away, you were always made for me
Edges are so rough around my silhouette
You smooth them out, oh yeah Straying,
I’m so far away My shadow vanished in the shade, oh yeah
I start to see you were made for me Words
are unlike any action, not a thing like your distraction I believe you were always made for me
I will tell you anything you want to hear So
listen close, my deepest fears are waiting to be told As long as you keep me warm A hiding place between your arms Between
the sheets, it’s you and me Steady until dawn And February, draw the shutters down And gently press upon your
mouth Oh love, it must be love
Please don’t let me be forgotten Please
don’t let me get away, no, no You’ll never be forgotten I swear you were made for me you were always
made for me
I. L.O.V.E. Y.O.U. (2006) I is for the hope I hold inside L
is for the love behind my eyes
O for arms wide open, though the words
are left unspoken Stretched around your empty space
Baby it’s a sin to know you’ll
never fill it in The only thing I do is pray for ‘I love you’ V is for your virtuosity E is
for every thing, indeed
Y there is no question, how I love you,
not to mention You’re the best thing that I ever did have But it’s a shame you’ll never
know, and our love will never grow You left me so sad But there’s nothing I could say, to bring me closer anyway All
that I can do is say I love you I love you
O for arms wide open, though the words
are left unspoken Stretched around your empty space U are all I need, before my heart begins to bleed I’d die
to see your shining face
But there’s nothing I could say,
to bring me closer anyway All that I can do is say I love you
Maybe it’d be better to write a
message on this letter Open it you’ll see
There’s nothing I could say, to
bring me closer anyway All that I can do is say I love you
