Will you
Ever find a way
Will you
Ever get away
Out into the wilderness
Far from all the emptiness
Surrounding you today
Can you say
Deep into the vastness all around
Listen closely you can hear the sound
Calling you into the voided space
Far beyond the concrete jungle scape
Can you
Continue with this game
Everyday
It always ends the same
There’s someone out there better than you
Always playing you for the fool
You know what you have to do
Don’t you
Deep into the vastness all around
Listen closely you can hear the sound
Calling you into the voided space
Far beyond the concrete jungle scape

Living with a burden
Of people going mad
In search of fame and fortune
Exchanging every good for bad
Everybody wonders
What it takes to make things change
We’re all sisters and brothers
Feeling the same rage
Time for rearranging
The power and control
Let’s start liberating
Every living soul
The games that they are playing
Keep us separated
Continuously blaming
We are endlessly frustrated
They tug at our heart strings
Pulling this way and that
Knowing that the pain stings
Making us react
Time for rearranging
The power and control
Let’s start liberating
Every living soul
In every lifetime
There will be those who divide
Don’t follow their guideline
Let love be amplified
Time for rearranging
The power and control
Let’s start liberating
Every living soul

Silence
06:03

There were times when I could look at you
and you’d look at me
And we’d smile
There were days when I would say hello
And you’d say hello
And we’d smile
There’s an overwhelming feeling
That it’s time for something new
I don’t know what I’m going through
But it’s because of you
I must say
There is a silence that’s come between
You and me
It’s driving me away
There’s an overwhelming feeling
That it’s time for something new
But I want to keep believing
That it’s me instead of you
I don’t know where we went wrong
Our love it once was oh so strong
We used to sit and talk all night long
But those days just seem long gone
There’s an overwhelming feeling
That it’s time for something new
But I want to keep believing
That it’s me instead of you

I Can See Inside
04:20

Deep inside the shadows of your mind
Do you even think that you are kind
You can make it all come true for real
But all you ever do instead is steal
And I can see inside your dreams
And I can see insanity
You know it’s true
There’s nothing you can do
To hide away
What inside of you
Your days are numbered yet you still kill more
Everyone knows you’re rotten to the core
You think you’re safe but we all know your fate
We will bury you with all your hate
Cause I can see inside your dreams
And I can see insanity
You know it’s true
There’s nothing you can do
To hide away
What’s inside of you

When all your heroes are dead and gone
All you have left is a memory
But what do you do when the memory fades
And you can’t even remember yesterday
The images remind you but they’re still too few
The videos flip a switch but that’ll fade too
As the tears flow do you melt away
Or just sleep to wake another day
The things you’ve missed in this life or the last
You can’t make up once they have past
So get off your ass and see the world
It’s a roller coaster and a tilt a whirl
See that show, meet the band
Go to that movie eat a hotdog from that stand
Get on a plane and traverse the glob
It will surely excite your temporal lobe
Sail the seas on a cruise to no where
Hang with good friends without a care
Smell wild flowers in enchanted gardens
And call those you wronged to beg their pardon
The images remind you but they’re still too few
The videos flip a switch but that’ll fade too
As the tears flow do you melt away
Or just sleep to wake another day
The things you’ve missed in this life or the last
You can’t make up once they have past
So get off your ass and see the world
It’s a roller coaster and a tilt a whirl
Do what you will while you still have time
Enjoying your life is never a crime
Before too long you may have to go too
And someone else will be trying to remember you
The images remind you but they’re still too few
The videos flip a switch but that’ll fade too
As the tears flow do you melt away
Or just sleep to wake another day
The things you’ve missed in this life or the last
You can’t make up once they have past
So get off your ass and see the world
It’s a roller coaster and a tilt a whirl

We were friends
For so long
How could it end this way
What do you
have to say
Do you even give a damn
I gave it my all
And I gave it to you
Yet you let it fall
You gave me the screw
You played with my mind
You played with my heart
How could I be so blind
To let it all fall apart
It was was a clear road for us to ride
But you were better than that
You filled my dream with utter lies
Draining my life like a vampire bat
Just who do you thing you are
Ripping apart my dreams like this
We had taken it so far
There was no way that we could ever miss
As the time
Passes by
The rage builds up inside
For you
I see you die
Over and over in my mind
I played and I played
But what did you do
You know you betrayed
An unfortunate fool
And now you move on
But your stuck in your ways
It won’t be too long
Till again you betray
It was was a clear road for us to ride
But you were better than that
You filled my dream with utter lies
Draining my life like a vampire bat
Just who do you thing you are
Ripping apart my dreams like this
We had taken it so far
There was no way that we could ever miss

Hidden faces everywhere
All avoiding the poison air
Setting life upon a shelf
Leaving chance to fend for itself
Are they smiling or are they crying
Are they laughing or are they sighing
We’ll never know what lies beyond the mask oh oh
These are desperate times we live in
So many fighting just to keep on living
But no one gives a damn whether you live or die
Many lost but where’s the sorrow
How many more will be gone tomorrow
How long before no-one is able to cry anymore anymore
When you see the faces bare
That is those who don’t seem to care
Living life so recklessly
Playing games with humanity
Let me out is the rally cry
Taking bets on who will die
This isn’t time to be a reckless youth
Let me tell you the horrible truth
These are desperate times we live in
So many fighting just to keep on living
But no one gives a damn whether you live or die
Many lost but where’s the sorrow
How many more will be gone tomorrow
How long before no-one is able to cry anymore anymore

In a room full of people
Not a word is said
Not a bit of dribble
Escapes ones head
Faces are down
Staring at a screen
All around town
They are never seen
Heads up heads up
Things are going to shit
Do you care
Or will you just submit
Heads up heads up
Before it’s too late
Before someone else
Decides you fate
Complacent today
Victim tomorrow
Life turns grey
And filled with sorrow
Cities will burn
You’ll be running scared
Maybe you’ll learn
And be prepared
Heads up heads up
Things are going to shit
Do you care
Or will you just submit
Heads up heads up
Before it’s too late
Before someone else
Decides you fate
Heads up heads up
It’s up to you
Do you care
What will you do
Heads up heads up
Before it’s too late
Before someone else
Decides you fate

I don't know why
We just stand by
And let them trouble you
We know it's true
As time goes by
We believe the lie
That there's nothing we can do
But that's not true
We close or eyes to reality
And live inside our fantasy
But out there is so much pain and hate
So many looking to escape
All the brutality
The tragedy
And agony
Seeking a little amnesty
From malady
And treachery
But oh the blind man
Can't see
What he's done to feed
The disease
To save their lives
We must sacrifice
A little of ourselves
We know it's true
No compromise
Everyone survives
We all pull through
But that's not true
Cause we close our eyes to reality
And live our lives happy and carefree
We ignore all the pain and the hate
And barricade those who try to escape
All the brutality
The tragedy
And agony
Seeking a little amnesty
From malady
And treachery
But oh the blind man
Can't see
What he's done to feed
The disease
What a nightmare this could be
If it wasn't reality
We know life isn't a game
How we live it is insane
Cause we close our eyes to reality
And live inside our fantasy
We ignore all the pain and the hate
And barricade those who try to escape
All the brutality
The tragedy
And agony
Seeking a little amnesty
From malady
And treachery
But oh the blind man
Can't see
What he's done to feed
The disease

His Dream

Let me tell you a story about a man I know
Only ever wanted to be part of the show
singing with the band he found his way
living every day only to play
he partied every night got in every fight
going down that road he lost his way oh yeah
fighting with his mind and his memories
leading himself blind to discrepancies
traveling a path to total despair
living a bleak life without any care
he was living a lie just trying to die
fighting himself taking every dare oh yeah
He only wants to be your fantasy
but soon he’ll only be a memory
he needs to find a way to set himself free
to get back to living out his dream
cleaned up stand up he coming again
pushing straight through with a cunning plan
it may be hard he can lose it all
but he knows he’s gotta go he hears the call
time is running short he needs your support
he taking the chance before the fall oh yeah
he’s gonna live out his destiny
he gonna become your fantasy
he’s made up his mind he’s gonna gleam
he’s gonna get back to living out his dream

On and on we've followed all the dreams we've had
But everything seem the same
Is there any way to change the past
So we can do it all again
Every time we seem to find the right way to go about it
It just seems to go the wrong way
Every day we live the same life over and over again
Hoping that we'll see a better day but it never comes
There are some who think that they know how we should live our lives
But have they ever looked into the mirror
Living high up on a hill spending our hard earned dimes
Do they know that they've destroyed the future
Every time they tell us this and promise that it's all a lie
It is just a game they play at our expense to get high
High enough to keep control and keep us all at bay
This is not a fantasy, it is happening today
It is time for us to regain control and have our say
While we still have the freedom to believe
Stand up and fight, fight for your right, your right to be free
Know inside that it is your destiny
You have a voice, we have a voice let's all be heard loud and clear
No more whispering in each others ears
Let's climb that hill and let them know why we are here today
We are taking back that which is ours, this world before doomsday

Edge Of Nowhere
05:17
|

|
Once upon a time
You had the choice to decide
To choose your path in life
And then go for the ride
Those days have long gone by
you only chose to abide
Leaving all your dreams behind
Will you just sit their til you die
I can see it in your eyes
And it comes as no surprise
That you’re going
To the edge of nowhere
Can you see it in their eyes
Does it come as no surprise
That everyone just seems to be getting
No where
Everything just goes awry
Will you just let it fly
Or will you take hold
And regian control
Do you ever wonder why
Life just seems to zip on by
Everything just getting old
Never reaching that final goal
I can see it in your eyes
And it comes as no surprise
That you’re going
To the edge of nowhere
Can you see it in their eyes
Does it come as no surprise
That everyone just seems to be getting
No where
No ones ever gonna give it to you
You’ve gotta take it, take what you need
But everyones tries to tell you what to do
Why do you listen, they only want to see you bleed
I can see it in your eyes
And it comes as no surprise
That you’re going
To the edge of nowhere
Can you see it in their eyes
Does it come as no surprise
That everyone just seems to be getting
No where
