| Impossible |
I can't believe the way you
Think you’re so damn right.
Tell me
What's so right about
Taking a life?
And what you gonna do
When there’s no one left
To fight?
Can you see through time?
Can you
See it all unwind?
We’re running out of time
Open your mind
How can you think
You’re saving the world?
And tell me
Where is your faith in love?
How does it take this long
To learn that war
Is never won?
And how, by killing me,
Will justice be done?
Chorus
When did we become Disposable?
You can try
But I won’t die.
Why are you so
Damn impossible?
Cause it can’t be solved
With your stupid fight.

| So
Cool |
You think you’re so cool
It doesn’t take a lot to know
You’re a fool
To know what you do
Makes you look like a tool
What did someone do
To make a person
Turn out like you
You think you’re so cool
You overrated tool.
Chorus
I had more faith in you than that
I ain't never goin back
You cant make white from black
When life kicks you in the sack
I’d never stab you in the back
Too bad you don’t comply with that
Comply with that.

| Closer |
There was a time when the world felt wrong
No matter what I did, I didn’t belong, yeah
But now I know it wasn’t me
It was the world that had no peace
You know you made me feel like I belong to
Something greater, something stronger,
Something worth fighting for
And now I want to thank you, for everything
You know you made me feel alive
This is more than just desire
Yeah you make me feel alive
So lets have some fun tonight
Ooh your getting closer
Ooh your getting closer
And just look at the world now
It hasn’t changed, just more people with power
After this I feel the same
Its gotta change, the worlds causing me pain
You know you make the world look so clean and
You make it look like its something worth fighting for
But deep down inside we all need to cling to
What makes us feel alive.
You know you made me feel alive
This is more than just desire
Yeah you make me feel alive
So lets have some fun tonight
Ooh your getting closer.

| Love
Song |
Remember what you thought to yourself
You thought I
I’m wasting away
You want the time of your life
You want it but, now…
It’s the end of the day
You asked me where it all went
I said, I
Then broke out and cried.
Remember what you want from this life
It’s all you really need just to get by.
Lets talk about love.
Lets talk about love
You know when
The times are changin,
What’s left behind
What really lasts forever
It’s your friends
They stay behind and
Watch out for you
When you need them the most
What drives them to do such things
Is the love they have inside of them for you.
It’s all that will be there at the end of the day
It’s love.
Chorus:
Everything’s gonna be alright
Everything’s gonna be alright

| Priceless |
Who would of known we would be where we are now?
Not us, not them, not anyone, how?
I wasn’t looking and neither were you
But we found each other anyway
And now we have a love forever true
A love forever true
Well I couldn’t look at you, just through a mirrors ray
Now I can’t take my eyes off you.
You would sing for me, I’d listen and sing too
Your voice is like an angel
And this song is, this song is for you
This song is for you
Bridge:
You make me happy, my love grows stronger
every day
We were meant to be, it was meant to,
meant to be this way
We were meant to, meant to be this way
Chorus:
Love is a friendship set on fire
And you are my best friend
Love is a never ending feeling
And our love will never end
To the world you may be one person
But to one person, who is me
You are the world
You, Priceless, Priceless
You are, you are Priceless

| Missing
You |
When I looked into your eyes
I knew there was
Something special deep inside
We said our friendship
Would last forever
We even promised each other
To never say never
But after his night of violence
There was nothing but silence
Now that you have gone
Loneliness is
What I fear and
You know that I’d do anything just to
Hold you near
And you know that
Every time you look down
At me from above
I think of your smile
It’s beautiful, like a piece of love.
You know I see your light,
Shine on me
You know I’m comin home
To you tonight.
Chorus:
If I could step back in time
I would hold you one more time and
If I could say one line
I would say goodbye
I would say goodbye

| Wake
Up |
When you dream
You feel awake,
Trapped in time
And cant escape.
But in the Day
You feel so numb
Just waiting for
The night to come
Are you sleeping?
Can you hear me?
Are you here
Or are you dreaming?
What is real
When you can't see
The difference between
Real and dream
Chorus:
Can you look in the mirror
And see no mistakes?
How did the stars
Give you paths to take?
And when you dream
Are you falling
And don’t know where you are?
Wake up concentrate

| Forever |
How far have we come?
Just to throw it all away
And burn it all to the ground, and push it far below
I know that all you want
Is just about everything
And nothing will satisfy you, doesn’t matter what it is
You scream make it mine
You scream make it mine
You scream make it mine
I open up your soul and crawl into your heart
To take what you believe
And tear it apart
I blind you from what’s real
And make it all a game
While the answer is in your heart
Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
Listen to your heart
Chorus:
We cry because we fear
The end is coming
We cry because this world
Has become loveless
We scream cause we’ve killed everyone
And there’s no one left to save us
We scream cause the damage we’ve done
Will last forever
Forever

| Choices |
What is wrong
With some parents of today?
They blame their kids and families
Oh, can’t they see
For making their lives
So ordinary
They have kids with talent
And they hold the back
Cause they missed out
And now they lack
They blame their kids
Deep down inside
For their own shortcomings
They hide inside
Sending the next one soon
Chorus:
They make every excuse
Under the sun
For all the things
They would like to have done
I stayed at home,
I took care of you,
I stayed at home,
I did it for you.

| Prism |
I know you feel it some how,
It doesn’t make sense.
Like the mirrors have all gone sideways.
Open up your eyes,
And erase this spell.
Cause the mirrors have all gone sideways.
Can’t you help me out some how?
Take my hand.
In this place where the mirrors are sideways.
Open up your mind
To what is here,
And break the mirrors that are sideways.
Chorus:
Concentration is
So hard to posses at home
I need some time, need some rest you know
Cause my brain ain’t working right now.
Concentration is
So hard to posses at home
I need some time, need some rest you know
Cause my brain ain’t working right now.

| Victim |
I reflect on your words of reason
As they flow from your lips like water
They wash me over and clean my wounds
Escaped from the slaughter.
There’s blood in the water.
I bathe in the sunlight of your eyes
But wouldn’t walk in your shadow
I’m drowning in your pool of lies
You’ve barred the windows.
There’s blood in the water.
You’re running from the shadows
You’ve made your own demise
And like a moth to the flame
You start all over again.
There’s blood in the water.
Bathe in my words like water
It’ll clean your wounds
Now got a victim of my own
And I’ve turned into you.
Blood in the water.
Chorus
Open the window
Make life a breeze
Use me as a stepping-stone
As you run free
Take from the fountain
And fall to the floor
Drink until you’re satisfied
Then choke on some more.

| Deadly
Hobby |
Step outside yourself think about what you do
You say your smart, educated and been to school
It’s not your fault if some lunatic goes berzerk
You’re a citizen pay your taxes and go to work
Your responsible keep your guns under lock and key
Its what you do, It’s your hobby
Its time to move on and find something new
There are plenty of things for you to do
What do think is more important
Is it someone’s son or your hobby?
And your stupid gun
Chorus:
If you have guns you stupid jerk
Someone could steal them and go berzerk
But you know you’ve lost plot
Smart I'm telling you your not
Noooo your not
Smart I’m telling you no your not.

| Loneliness |
You slip into a world
Thats just a dream
You don’t hear a word
And you can’t even scream
Nothing around you
Seems to fit
And frankly
You don’t give a shit.
You’ll Begin to feel
Good moments more often
Then your heart and soul
Will start to soften
Have you ever felt so low
Your neither here or there
And life’s a bitch
And frankly you just don’t care.
You think there’s nothin,
But that ain’t true
Hang in there
Make sure you pull through.
Life is special
Good moments seem rare
But its great to have friends
That really care
Chorus
The sun comes out
And starts to shine,
And suddenly things begin to feel fine
There is help to be sought
As you start to talk,
You don’t feel so caught,
No you don’t feel so caught.

| Reins
of Life |
Every moment of the day,
Life’s so precious Don’t throw it away.
I have a gift So much to give
Fulfil my dreams I do believe.
What a comfort It was to see
You standing there Watching me
I will stay for the duration
Inspired by looks
Of your admiration
I was lost I was drowning
In waters too deep
Emotionally in defeat.
I looked up And I saw your face
In my mind No more erased.
You held out your hand And I took hold
And in your warmth I was not cold.
Drowning no longer In water ahead
But in your eyes Of tears instead
Gaze at the stars And follow your dreams
And you will know What I mean
And as you pursue And follow things through
Be sure to see The sunset too.
The sunset too.
Chorus
Hold on truly To every thread
Don’t be a fool Or easily led
If your world Is full of strife,
Take up and hold The reins of life And live.
