Can't Shut Me Up
04:36

You wake to sunrise
I wake to mourning
Sink in melancholy
It's Coming without warning
I need to scream
I may just freak
I’m a victim
I’ll take the megaphone
Deafen your ears
Screaming with my lungs
Till I’m crystal clear
I’m breaking out the shell
My life’s a living hell
I’m a victim
No! You can’t shut me up
Yo can’t shut me down
I am my own machine
So you can’t shut me up
You can’t shut me down
You can’t shut me out
I am my own machine
So you can’t shut me up
You wake to sunshine
I wake to rain
Drowning in the waterfall
All I have is pain
I’m breaking out the shell
From the depths of the well
It’s a symptom because I’m a victim
I got a voice
Among the noise
I got a melody
I need a remedy
I got a voice
Among the noise
I am my own machine
Sound off the siren
No one's gonna stop me

Break You Down
02:49
|
|
||
All my life they spit upon my face
Point their fingers put me in my place
They’re like riddled bullets to my head
I’m their target practice shot to death
If you try to break me now
Shove me down and break my crown
I know that in the end somehow
I will stand up from the ground and break you down
Years go by I’m in slow motion
I am drowning in their ocean
I am cornered they’re the wolf pack
Driving their teeth down my back
You think that you can break me
You think that you can mold me
You think your condescending
I got one thing to say to you
You’re no better than me!

Pegasus Wings
04:10
|

Do you feel like you need to scream but
No one seems to hear anything
Do you feel partly cloudy, head up in the clouds?
When one seems to be around
Well you should know we are the same
We’re like shadows hiding in the city lights
I can be the one to help you ease the pain
Let me take you under my wing tonight
Don’t be shy don’t be shy
Don’t you cry don’t you cry
Let me be your reason why
You should fly you should fly
In the sky in the sky
Let me be the one to help you
Spread your wings and fly
Do you feel like you’re a dark horse?
When no one seems to give any remorse
Do you feel like your spirit needs to flutter?
But instead it’s washed down the gutter
Let me dry your tears
Help you remember
That I am right here
To save you from December
Let me dry your eyes
I’ll be your reason why
That I am like you
And need you more than life

Rabid Dogs
02:56
|
|
||
This dream, scary scary dream
Haunting me
I can not sleep because
I’m just surviving
And I’m not living
I’m suffocating
Yeah we are, we are, we are
Rabid dogs
We are apocalypse
We’re a world collapsed
We are the failures
We are rabid dogs
A word to the wise
We’re our own demise
We are the cancer
We are rabid dogs
This trance
Ain’t no safety dance
Behind the fence
I can’t break free and now
I'm isolated, locked in a cage
I’m buried in my grave
Civilized we seem to be
We are the downfall of our country
When the chips are down
We’ll eat each other
We are, we are, we are GREED!
We are America!

Stranger to Me
04:11
|
|||
It seemed like it was yesterday
When you perused me, and tried to make me yours
I Never felt like this before
It felt like I have been restored
Then you, you went away
Now you’re just a stranger to me
You’re a fragment of my memory
I have pushed you all away from me
Now you’re just a stranger to me
It seemed like it was everyday
That you were lonely, when I was with you
A daisy chain now torn away
You left me there for someone new
Oh
I’m letting you go
Oh you, you went away
Oh you, you’re far away

Nothing
03:05
|
|

My dreams aspired as I gaze upon the sea
Standing by the shoreline with the waves in front of me
I swim across the sea
Pursing my own dreams
I reach the other side and then I get nothing
Is this all I get
I get nothing
Is this all I get
I get nothing
Is this all I get for everything
Is this all I get for all I’ve done
Is this all I get for everything
Oh no I’ve come undone
I get nothing
I build a ladder with a growing desire
Of breaking through the skies I’m blazing with fire
I’m climbing to the top
My dreams ascending
I reached the pinnacle and then I got nothing
It's not all I get for everything
It's not all I get for all I've done
It's not all I get for everything
Oh this is not the end! No!
It's not all I get for everything
It's not all I get for all I've done
It's not all I get for everything
Oh no you can't outrun
I'll fight until I'm done
I'll be what I become
I'll get something

Only Have One Chance
03:34
|
|||
Do you think she’s disappeared?
Do you think that you’ve lost her anyway?
Would you change the past if you could?
Would you wish her back before she slipped away?
What are you waiting for?
Don’t wait anymore
You only have one chance
You only have one try
You only have one dance
To make it all right
You only have one love
You only have one life
You only have one time
To make it all right
Do you think your love is over?
Do you think you might have torn her heart apart?
Would you mend the wounds you’ve made?
Would you take her hand, and go back to the start?
Time fades away like the flowers
Your chances withered like a rose
One day she’ll face her final hours
Before it’s too late (will you)
Let her know or let her go?
Give her your all
Give her your best
Go and be her last first kiss
Give her your all
Give her your best
Go because you only have one chance

You Can't Escape
05:07
|
|
||
My thoughts are racing in my mind
A never-ending heart ache aching inside
The feeling unshakable, so inconceivable
To know that I’m afraid to die
My life has ceased to give today
And then it starts to take every loving thing away
One by one gone with the winding wind
Every time that I would blink again
You can’t escape
You can’t escape
You can’t escape
You can’t escape
The clutches of the one thing that you can not run away
You can’t escape (death)
There’s nothing I can not say
To change the course of my life along the way
The Moment of truth arrives, no need to run and hide
I know that I’m next in line
The truth is so crystal clear
But it’s something I don’t wanna hear
I’m trying to push it away
But everything fades to grey
I can’t face the darkness
The pain’s full of sadness
It's so unpredictable
Strikes you like lightning
Blows out the candle

Stop
03:45
|
|

Lost! The time is lost
The clock is ticking faster than my car on defrost
Gone! The time is gone!
All the time I had is before it all went wrong
Time is slipping further in the hourglass
I’m Driving 88 to go back to the past
Coexisting with the present is a means of deception
Can you take me back to my inception?
Stop!
Stop and replay
Stop!
Stop and re-twin
Stop!
Stop and remake
Stop and rewind
Waste, time has gone to waste
The things I’ve said and done can not be erased
Lights, who dosed the lights?
The time is fading; I will miss it if I blink twice
I miss the days when I felt alive
Play the ocarina to go back in time
Coexisting with the present is a means of deception
Can you take me back to my inception?
Take me back when I was younger
Take me back when I didn’t care
Take me back when I had no fear
God take me back

Mother
05:07
|
|||
On the beach of Normandy
Soldiers running, Shots all ringing
Bombs exploding, Bodies scattered round dead
Here I lay I’m feeling numb
Blood is spilling, can not stand up
Thousand thoughts now racing in my head
I think of you
Mother
I’m crying out to you
As I lay to die
Mother
I’m sorry I won’t be coming home
I’ll see you in another life
On that day in 43
Soldiers drafting, soldiers walking
Out their front doors, saying their good-byes
And here you stand in front of me
Tears are falling down from your cheeks
Thousand thoughts now racing in your mind
You think of me

Rise
05:54
|

I faced my darkness it made me sick
I drink to get my courage up
Trying to forget it
I can’t let go the thoughts in my head
I don’t know why I can’t comprehend
I sleep to run away, it makes me safe
These dreams turn into nightmares
I’m starting to loose faith
But in the darkest of my dreams
A still small voice whispers so softly
(it said)
Rise to the sunrise
Rise up to the sky
Wave the past goodbye
Now it’s time to rise
Hands up to the sky
Stand up on your feet
Live your life and know you are not alone
I tasted bitterness, and it was sour
Chaos and the sirens kept creeping ever hour
But in the mist of all these crazy times
A still small voice whispers in the light
I’m alone and wake to mourning
And my words keep failing me
All I need is a melody
I close my eyes
All I see are shadows all around me
But your voice is my remedy
Now come before you all
I have risen from the fall
Now rise to the rising sun
Eyes wide awake
Now rise to the sunrise
Come greet the day
You’re not alone
We’re not alone
I’m not alone

More Than This

Hello friend
I know it’s very late
I couldn’t wait another day
I felt like driving by
To see you one more night
And tell you how I feel inside
Here I go
Cards on the table
I wish we were more than this
I wish we were more than that
I wish we have something more for us
A greater love that we could ever have
I wish with all my heart
I wish, I wish we were more than this
I know friend
I know what you’ll say
It’s better this way
But all we’ve been through
Has led me close to you
I can’t survive without you
I know
I know we can’t be in love
I know that we are better off as friends
I know
I know we can’t be in love
I know this but
I am nothing without you
