Out of Sync 03:30
lyrics
One hand is on the wheel, the other is on the radio knob It’s another long drive home from my shitty job The clouds above are black and their true motive is revealed As tiny droplets of rain begin to fall onto my windshield Pretty soon it will be impossible to see through the rain Take a look at what I’ve become This is not what I wanted to be when I was young How did life turn out this way? Was it me or was it fate? Either way I need a change and I can’t wait Every red light allows me a few moments to think And I begin to question how my life got so out of sync The lines that divide the road zip past in a yellow blur And that song comes on the radio that reminds me of her She’s just one more thing I don’t need to think about right now Take a look at what I’ve become This is not what I wanted to be when I was young How did life turn out this way? Was it me or was it fate? Either way I need a change and I can’t wait I can see the trees bowing to the violent wind They remind me of myself again and again I pass an old run down house on a lifeless little street I can relate to how it must feel, so alone and incomplete I hate this fear that lives within me Take a look at, at what I’ve become This is not what I wanted to be when I was young How did life turn out this way? Was it me or was it fate? Either way I need a change and I can’t wait One hand is on the wheel, the other is on the radio knob It’s another long drive home from my shitty job

Forever in Death 05:11
lyrics
My final hour as come and gone And now my soul has left this world behind And as I stare around me I realize… I’m on my own, I’m all alone I will forever be in death as I was in life All alone There’s no loved ones here to greet me No friends to embrace me with a hug Because I pushed everyone away I realize… I’m on my own, I’m all alone I will forever be in death as I was in life All alone Wandering through this baron wasteland With no one to ease my mind It’s all so clear to me now that… I’m on my own, I’m all alone I will forever be in death as I was in life All alone Take all those memories you have of me and throw them away Take all those memories you have of me and throw them away Take all those memories you have of me and throw them away Take all those memories you have of me and throw them away I’m on my own, I’m all alone I will forever be in death as I was in life All alone I’m on my own, I’m all alone I will forever be in death as I was in life All alone I’m on my own, I’m all alone I will forever be in death as I was in life All alone I’m all alone

The Truth Is I Lied 03:11
lyrics
Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me I was walking down the street I saw that guy kissing your feet You thought you had control I guess now you know If you want me to help you Sorry, there's not much I can do You're gonna have to go on Don't even show Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Are you fucking kidding me? Tired of your negativity Prophecy ain't what you see It's what you do Every time I press the ignition It only turns on my television Don't mean I've lost my vision I know he's fucking you Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me (Don't you want to) Give in to me (You just have to) Give in to me (I know you want to) Give in to me (All you can do) Give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Now I know what I have to do Okay, the truth is I lied to you That much I know is true Not deceiving If you're gonna pitch a fit Not taking any more of your shit Done receiving Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me Give in, give in to me

Frown (I'll Do Anything) 03:15
lyrics
The night you died, I went insane Memories all hazy inside my brain This village will never feel right All because you died that night Can you see my frown and turn it upside down? I'll do anything just to keep you around I'll take my life for a place with you up there in space I'll do anything just to see your face Again This is driving me up a wall You're no longer here to break my fall I have decided I'm joining you You would do the same for me, too Can you see my frown and turn it upside down? I'll do anything just to keep you around I'll take my life for a place with you up there in space I'll do anything just to see your face Again To see your face would be the sweetest thing You can't erase this from my mind I'll see your face until the end of time Can you see my frown and turn it upside down? I'll do anything just to keep you around I'll take my life for a place with you up there in space I'll do anything just to see your face Again I'll do anything to see your face again I'll do anything to see your face again I would take my life, just to hold your hand I'll do anything to see your face again Whoa-oh-oh-oh-ohhh... Nanana nanana na nanana...

Until It Was Gone 04:16
lyrics
I never knew what it was Never knew what I had Until it was gone so suddenly Ripped away from me I don't even know what it was But I miss it so much I’ve been caught in an undertow And I don’t know where I should go I’m in so deep I can’t see the light I have to go on, I have to fight But why is it so hard to gasp for air I’m giving to you my soul to bare These shackles around my ankles are too tight I can’t break free, can’t make this right All around me my memories like a whirlpool they spin Reminding me over and over of my everlasting sin These chains are holding me in place and wont let me be Forever I’ve prayed to God to just set me free I never knew what it was Never knew what I had Until it was gone so suddenly Ripped away from me I don’t even know what it was But I miss it so much Being imprisoned in this cramped cell It’s still so hard to believe how fast I fell All that I want now is my old life back To no longer be under constant attack You’ve chained me to the wall and tossed the key Forcing me to drown in my constant misery But in the darkest hour of the night I see a dim sliver of light This faint ray of hope that strikes my eyes That gives me the will to stand up, to rise And Even though I may never break through The only thing that keeps me going is you I never knew what it was Never knew what I had Until it was gone so suddenly Ripped away from me I don’t even know what it was But I miss it so much

Hatefully Yours 05:18
lyrics
You piss me off so much Until our fingers touch I will not have regrets When what you do upsets Something here's amiss Jumped off the precipice Into a chasm deep Maybe I need some sleep Everything you ever said was a lie But I could never say good-bye When we fall in love this time We won't hear the windchimes Our love is incomplete In the hands of defeat We just ran out of luck And we don't give a fuck We're driftin' far apart No longer at the start Everytime you're around Love crashes to the ground Everything you ever said was a lie But I could never say good-bye When we fall in love this time We won't hear the windchimes I wrote this note to you I tried to say fuck you But instead I drew A heart cause I love you I wrote this note to you I tried to say fuck you But instead I drew A heart cause I love you Everything you ever said was a lie But I could never say good-bye When we fall in love this time We won't hear the windchimes I wrote this note to you I tried to say fuck you But instead I drew A heart cause I love you I wrote this note to you I tried to say fuck you But instead I drew A heart cause I love you I wrote this note to you I tried to say fuck you But instead I drew A heart cause I love you I wrote this note to you I tried to say fuck you But instead I drew A heart cause I love you...

She 05:03
lyrics
She was the kindest person That you could have ever met She would do anything to help you With her there was no need to fret But now she is gone And it feels so wrong I didn’t get to say goodbye But she will be watching over me for the rest of my life She always knew just what to do or say To brighten up a dark day She could always put a smile on your face And put your sad thoughts in their place But now she is gone And it feels so wrong I didn’t get to say goodbye But she will be watching over me for the rest of my life God doesn’t make them like her anymore (x4) But now she’s gone And it feels so wrong I didn’t get to say goodbye But she will be watching over me for the rest of my life But now she’s gone And it feels so wrong I didn’t get to say goodbye But she will be watching over me for the rest of my life

Stay On Your Side of the World 03:37
lyrics
Can you be more irritating? Are you ever gonna quit? While you are berating Feeding me your shit And I'm commiserating While you're throwing a fit Patiently awaiting The fucking end of it You're not bringing me down You're not bringing me down to your town And even though you frown, I'm gonna tell ya now You're such a fussy girl You're not bringing me down You're not bringing me down to your town If you're gonna be my girl You're gonna have to stay on your side of the world Can you see the frustration Set in without a trace? Can you feel the perspiration Running down my face? So begins the saturation With everything in place I need some ventilation You're such a basket case You're not bringing me down You're not bringing me down to your town And even though you frown, I'm gonna tell ya now You're such a fussy girl You're not bringing me down You're not bringing me down to your town If you're gonna be my girl You're gonna have to stay on your side of the world I wanted to tell you for a long time I wanna break it off, is that a crime? When we talk, there's only lightning and thunder Cause I'm in America, and you're in the land down under Now this is concluding Right where all can see What is it eluding You from seeing me? Why must we be feuding? Is that really what you want? I'll tell you what I think You stupid little irritating overbearing CUNT! You're not bringing me down You're not bringing me down to your town And even though you frown, I'm gonna tell ya now You're such a fussy girl You're not bringing me down You're not bringing me down to your town If you're gonna be my girl You're gonna have to stay on your side of the world You're not bringing me down You're not bringing me down to your town And even though you frown, I'm gonna tell ya now You're such a fussy girl You're not bringing me down You're not bringing me down to your town If you're gonna be my girl You're gonna have to stay on your side of the world

Untitled Love Song 03:44
lyrics
Hard times have forced you out To find out what it's all about Never mind that you'll probably never make it home Went to see what you need to see Who else are you gonna be? I'm gonna hafta stand back and let you rome This love...this love...this love is on the loose This love...this love...this love is on the loose I never had a shade of doubt It's better just to do without It's not easy to become what you've never liked No more than a fighting chance No less than a sweet romance What happens when you become less than psyched? This love...this love...this love is on the loose This love...this love...this love is on the loose This love...this love...this love is on the loose This love...this love...this love is on the loose I hope that when you make it there Send love without a care Never mind that true love is hard to find You have tried not to grudge with me Now we are lovers for eternity And we share that one track state of mind This love...this love...this love is on the loose This love...this love...this love is on the loose This love...this love...this love is on the loose This love...this love...this love is on the loose This love...this love...this love is on the loose This love...this love...this love is on the loose This love...this love...this love is on the loose This love...this love...this love is on the loose

This War 06:13
lyrics
This war has gone on for too long It’s so hard to be this strong Everyday you hear about more and more who die I just want to know why How many more must be killed Until your oil refineries are filled? This isn’t a song about just a fallen soldier It’s also about a man and woman who’ve lost their son A little boy who lost his big brother A beautiful woman who’s lost her lover And an unborn child who will never know her father It’s so sad to think about all the lives that have been wrecked The people we love and respect We need to extract our troops from Iraq and Afghanistan There’s no way this is all part of God’s master plan It’s gotten to the point where I can’t even turn on the news They have to give their lives to pay your dues I pray for those who’ve died I pray for their loved ones I pray for those who never got to say goodbye This isn’t a song about just a fallen soldier It’s also about a man and woman who’ve lost their son A little boy who lost his big brother A beautiful woman who’s lost her lover And an unborn child who will never know her father This isn’t a song about just a fallen soldier It’s also about a man and woman who’ve lost their son A little boy who lost his big brother A beautiful woman who’s lost her lover And an unborn child who will never know her father

The Day John Lennon Died 03:15
lyrics
(Let me take you down, cause I’m going to…) His words were beautiful and poetic Far more than mine can ever be It’s all I can do to try to be like him For he is my greatest inspiration And in the blink of an eye The whole world as one began to cry The day John Lennon died Damn that cold December day Which took you away from us And silenced you forever Your cause for peace cut short by an act of war And in the blink of an eye The whole world as one began to cry The day John Lennon died You took us across the universe You took us to strawberry fields You helped us all imagine You dared us all to give peace a chance And in the blink of an eye The whole world as one began to cry The day John Lennon died (Let me take you down, cause I’m going to…)

Ecstasy in Painful Surrender 06:16
lyrics
(spoken) I didn’t mean to fall for you. In a way, I tried to avoid it. But when I finally said I loved you, it was only because I knew I was fighting a losing battle. The battle to win back my heart. They say that love is pain, and now I can see why You ravage me and I know that I am powerless to deny The blood drips from the cut you drew, it burns like holy fire And I hate myself because the pain fuels my desire What did I do to deserve you? I didn’t think I was that cruel You treat me kind but then you turn around and treat me like your tool You destroy me from the inside out, I wish that I could cry But if I said that I was sad about it, that would be a lie Ecstasy in painful surrender, love is made of pain The crimson blood drips from my heart like drops of gentle rain I surrendered quickly because I didn’t like my odds Things never end well when humans try to fight the gods Please, cut into me again, the sting’s what keeps me sane If I want to feel something, that something must be pain You may not know it, but I love you, that I will admit Yet I secretly accept it when you treat my love like shit Am I being punished? If it’s pleasure, I can’t tell Love may lead to Heaven, but you’re dragging me to Hell You finally said you loved me, and it took me by surprise You smiled at the sunken look it brought into my eyes You realized that you had me, you knew it then and there You had my heart, you ripped it out and kept it in your snare The thorns are pressing into it and the blood still drips away I cannot help but love you, so I’ll always stay this way Ecstasy in painful surrender, love is made of pain The crimson blood drips from my heart like drops of gentle rain I surrendered quickly because I didn’t like my odds Things never end well when humans try to fight the gods
