Like Heaven?
05:08
|
|||
Where is a place that doesn't keep you locked in, or disables you to be free
Where is a place where no one looks down on you, or prejudges you irrationally
I need a place to be loved, a place where I can truly feel loved
Is there somewhere that I can live forever, where I would find absolute sufficiency
There'd be no pressure from daily routine that would cause harmful reaction to me
I've got to leave this place, for I've already lost the race
I will find a place of my own where I can feel right at home and there'll be no laws etched in stone and I'll be happy
It would be just like heaven
I could find myself free from harm and I could hold you in my arms forever always would I feel calm and happy.
Would it be just like heaven
Will you listen to my plea for a better world, no longer will I suffer so horribly
My need to escape is stronger than my need to live, I cannot be pained so endlessly
If no one will understand, I'll take my life into my own hands
It's only then that I can be assured of peace, love and harmony
Because I've tried to make it work for myself, only to fail tremendously
I've lost the will to survive, because it hurts too much to be alive
I will find a place of my own where I can feel right at home and there'll be no laws etched in stone and I'll be happy
It would be just like heaven
I could find myself free from harm and I could hold you in my arms forever always would I feel calm and happy
Would it be just like heaven

Sadness
04:07
|
|||
There is a feeling I have within
It's similar to the aftertaste of sin
With the exception that I have no control
over its intrusion of my soul
After it enters I like to lie under the covers should I happen to die
Of course it's fiction, but I don't really know what do I do once I have to let go
It's an illusion to myself and everyone
Why, I don't know
Just let me wallow in my fun
Sadness
I've made the choice to walk away
From the brightness of the day
I turn to night time to sink deep in my gloom
All I can foresee is misery and doom
I hope it's better in the afterlife
But I'm content right now, counting all my strifes
If this ever ends, I'll never understand why I ever wanted to live life as I planned
It's an illusion to myself and everyone
Why, I don't know
Just let me wallow in my fun
Sadness
It's an illusion to myself and everyone
Why, I don't know
Just let me wallow in my fun
Sadness

Power Trip
03:58
|

Do you speak the language
The language of machines
When you get to be as big as you are
Nothing's ever like it seems
There are ways to step above it
But I don't know for sure
Once you grab on to authority
You're left wanting more and more
You’ve changed before my eyes
How can you be so mean
What a dramatic difference
Nothing like I've ever seen
Do you feel like you're on top of the world
With your throne embellished with gold
What did I do to deserve this treatment
How come I don't fit your mold
Just who the hell do you think you are
It's my self-respect you have no respect for
Are you gonna try to hunt me down
If I try to walk out the door
You've changed before my eyes
How can you be so mean
What a dramatic difference
Nothing like I've ever seen
Just who the hell do you think you are
You keep trying to run me into the ground
But let me run something by you
What goes around comes around
You’ve changed before my eyes
How can you be so mean
What a dramatic difference
Nothing like I've ever seen
Ever seen

Frustration
03:45
|
|||
Today I realized that nothing's ever gone my way
I always speak my mind but no one hears what I say
I might as well bite my tongue cos my words are falling on deaf ears
But I can't help the way I feel, it's the reason for my tears
Frustration leaves me trembling, trembling
Temptation makes me want to shout out to the world
How can I make sense of this when there's no sense in comprehending
There's no reason to go on based on the vibes that life's been sending
I'd give up everything if it meant that I could get a break
But since I'm void in luck, it would probably end up being my last mistake
Frustration leaves me trembling, trembling
Temptation makes me want to shout out to the world
This has got to go away
This has got to go away
Frustration leaves me trembling, trembling
Temptation makes me want to shout out to the world

Tears of Blue
04:23
|
|||
I remember times when we were well
When it wasn't hell
You did your best to make me feel
Like we had something real
Now you insist on causing pain
You bring it down like rain
I did not think you could be this cruel
It seems I was the fool
Take away, all this hurt
It makes me cry tears of blue
Words you say, I feel like dirt
I want to cry tears of blue
This neverending mystery
Of why you're mean to me
Has come to rear its ugly head
I might as well be dead
I pray that some finality
Will come eventually
Until then I'll try to forget
The very day we met
Take away all this hurt
It makes me cry tears of blue
Words you say, I feel like dirt
I want to cry tears of blue
Take away all this hurt
It makes me cry tears of blue
Take away, all this hurt
It makes me cry tears of blue
Words you say, I feel like dirt
I want to cry tears of blue

Hail to the Sky
03:36
|
|||
They want us to give up
They want us to surrender
They want us to wave the white flag
But will we, we say never
We're gonna break down, but we're not gonna cry
We'll find a way now, 'cos we don't wanna die
We're taking over, we're gonna give it a try
We'll win this hands down, and then we'll hail to the sky
We look towards new days ahead
We look towards victory
We will start a new future
We will end this tyranny
We're gonna break down, but we're not gonna cry
We'll find a way now, 'cos we don't wanna die
We're taking over, we're gonna give it a try
We'll win this hands down, and then we'll hail to the sky

Plenty
03:40
|
|||
Why do you keep doing this to me
I've had enough of your schemes
But you won't ever give it up
'cause it's all part of your dreams
Have you had plenty yet
Oh no
Have you had plenty yet
Oh no
I'm just a servant to your torture
and you border masochist
I'm drowning in my own sweat
I don't know what will happen next
Have you had plenty yet
Oh no
Have you had plenty yet
Oh no
I'm fighting just to stay alive
but the odds are strictly against me
You're having way too much fun
and you don't realize the consequences
Help me
Help me
Have you had plenty yet
Oh no

Cruel World
03:31
|
|||
You like to hurt me, and you know you're killing me
I'm sick of your insensitivity
I can't forget your actions, I can't forget the past
If I stayed with you any longer, I don't think I could last
Is this reality or is this a made-up story
All I know is that you're living in a cruel world
I gotta get away from what you're doing to me
I just can't live in your cruel world
I don't remember anything you've done for me
I've had to live in constant misery
I've had to deal with your emotion-playing games
Is it torture or a test of love
Either way, it's all the same
Is this reality or is this a made-up story
All I know is that you're living in a cruel world
I gotta get away from what you're doing to me
I just can't live in your cruel world
You just can't see the truth
In your actions
One day you'll find the truth in your actions
Is this reality or is this a made-up story
All I know is that you're living in a cruel world
I gotta get away from what you're doing to me
I just can't live in your cruel world

Anything
04:17

Ask and you shall receive
Oh, that's not always true
What must I do to get to you
I think I've got your number, but I just can't get through
I would give anything to know what's on your mind
I would give anything to know how you feel inside
Don't run away into your shell
That doesn't make for a solution
What's troubling you, what's wracking your brain
I want to find the cure for your pain
I've heard it said that you love me
Now I don't want to wait and see
I would give anything to know what's on your mind
I would give anything to know how you feel inside
Anything, anything
Anything, anything
Anything

Evil Girl
03:50
|
|||
Don't walk away from me
You know what you have done
You made me feel a fool
In front of everyone
Hold your head up
Don't pretend that I'm not there
You've got a black heart
You're such an evil girl
You've got to pay the price
You evil girl
It's a nightmarish spot
For you to put me in
You really embody have to be
The epitome of sin
What a shame though
You were once my perfect dream
You've got a black heart
You're such an evil girl
You've got to pay the price
You evil girl

Try to Forgive
02:45
|
|||
The sudden doom
And the constant gloom
But what's the difference
The everlasting lull
Looks and feels as though
It's any other day
As you're shaking with fright
Struggling and trembling all through the night
Trying to get away
But I doubt
That you'll get out
The vibrations I receive
Just can't be deceived
Although we're in pain
There's nothing to change
We just have to live
And try to forgive
And try to forgive

A Cross to Bear
03:26
|
|||
Standing in the crowd
I see you from a distance
You're always looking away
So you can play "Miss Innocent"
I can't get your attention
You're playing games with someone else
And I'm getting frustrated
I really can't do anything else
I'm trying to touch you
But you're always just out of reach
What can I do
To make you see what I want you to see
What can I do
To make you fall in love with me
You can blame me for inexperience
But I guess that's my cross to bear
You're amidst a sea of thieves
Who are trying to take you for their own
And I'm still at shore
Waiting for you to swim back home
When will you see through the darkness
And find me at the end of the light beam
Then you can discover me
And help me live my wildest dreams
I'm trying to touch you
But you're always just out of reach
What can I do
To make you see what I want you to see
What can I do
To make you fall in love with me
You can blame me for inexperience
But I guess that's my cross to bear

Inevitable
02:52
|

The sun will burst
Oceans will dry
The world will end
I'm gonna die
I need some sleep
Turn out the light
I think it's time
To say goodnight
It's so inevitable
I'll fall in love
I'll own a car
I'll work so hard
I'll travel far
What's there to look for
Around the bend
We know it all
Except when it ends
It's so inevitable
The sun will burst
Oceans will dry
The world will end
I'm gonna die
I need some sleep
Turn out the light
I think it's time
To say goodnight
It's so inevitable

Universal
03:06
|
|||
There is something that we know
It's in our hearts for us to show
It will never go away
It is truly here to stay
Love is universal
And it's all we can do
Love is universal
And it shows our whole lives through
It just makes you feel so good
Like we always knew it would
Yet they test it continuously
To where we constantly disagree, but...
Love is universal
And it's all we can do
Love is universal
And it shows our whole lives through
In a world of hate and war
We need something much, much more
It's the one constant thing
It's the feeling that makes us sing...
Love is universal
And it's all we can do
Love is universal
And it shows our whole lives through
Love is universal and it's all we can do
Love is universal and it's all that we can do
Love is universal
Love is universal

Like Today
04:47
|
|||
Under the streetlights, in the dark
Those moments never seem to far
Shrouded by the night and filled with pain
rying secretly, crying your name
You always hated me all the time
Because you thought that the choice was mine
I only wanted to get away
To some place or time just like today
Now I'm here in your world trying hard to catch your eye
You said I'd be happy here but I just cannot see why
Now that you've finally lured me here
I am faced with my greatest fear
I always trusted you all along
But now something has gone really wrong
Now I see your sad world why did I think I'd want to change
It just seems much worse here everyone want to play their games
You can only pretend for so long that the truth will go away
I'm waiting for the day, the day when you will realize
That reality will be waiting when you open up your eyes
Sometimes I wonder why I persist, when I've nothing left to give
You've sucked me dry of any life, and anything I've yet to try
What have you left me to hold inside
I'm back where I started but everything is twice as hard
When days just like today will never really be too far

Target
03:43
|

Let the walls come down on top of me
Let the walls come down on top of me
Maybe then you'll see the value of life to me
Maybe then you'll see how important this is to me
Oh I don't know
Why I'm the one
Always getting hurt
I don't want to live me life in pain
I don't want to live me life in pain
But you don't even care you just stand right over there
You don't even care you think it's all completely fair
Oh will they quit
Digging deep into my skin
I'm sick of being burned
Let the walls come down on top of me
Let the walls come down on top of me
Maybe then you'll see the value of life to me
Maybe then you'll see how important this is to me
Oh I don't know
Why I'm the one
Always getting hurt

Running with You
03:27
|
|||
All this time I felt so restrained
Like I would never be free again
I'd forgotten what it really meant to live
And this illusion is not all there is
And we feel so happy
Though we go nowhere
I am running with you
I'll never leave you far behind
It's hard for me to keep up with you
You've been in this situation before
And I have never felt like this
But I'll give all I have to give
And we feel so happy
Though we go nowhere
I am running with you
I'll never leave you far behind
I want to be alive
For once I want to smile
I want to be alive
I never want to die
I want to be alive
Just to be with you
Don't turn me away so easily
Because of what you've heard people say
Cos most of it is never true
When I stand right next to you
And we feel so happy
Though we go nowhere
I am running with you
I'll never leave you far behind

Corruption in Utopia
04:09
|
|||
Nobody's perfect
Nothing's perfect in this world
'cause we're all human that's a fact of life
So I don't understand the reason why
You can't imagine that
A place like utopia can be filled with strife
Lies and deceit will get you nowhere
Because you just can't live like that
In a place like utopia
But maybe I'm wrong
I've seen the world
I've seen the crime that's been committed
The greed, the lies, the murder are just too much to take
So I've got to tell you something that
I know you don't want to hear
But this idea of utopia is just a fake
Lies and deceit will get you nowhere
Because you just can't live like that
In a place like utopia
But maybe I'm wrong

Face the Nation
03:03
|
|||
I don't really know
Which way that I should go
But I Know that I love you
Now it's just a matter of letting you know
Face the nation
With investigation
It's either that or a disposition of isolation
Disintegration
Of the heart
But I can't let that be the situation
I need help from you
So I won't be lonely too
You must help me out
And give a love that is true
Face the nation
With investigation
It's either that or a disposition of isolation
Disintegration
Of the heart
But I can't let that be the situation
Gotta get your attention
Face the nation
With investigation
It's either that or a disposition of isolation
Disintegration
Of the heart
But I can't let that be the situation

Motionless World
03:46
|
|||
We can't move around
We're stuck on this ground
With nowhere to go
Everybody's moving so slow
I want to get up and go
We live in a motionless world
We've nowhere to go
No wonder we're so depressed
'cause we live in a motionless world
This routine's getting old
And although I've been told
That we've got to live with it
I'm getting rather sick of it
Trapped inside this pit
We live in a motionless world
We've nowhere to go
No wonder we're so depressed
Cos we live in a motionless world
I can't understand
This quite monotonous plan
Why such things must be
Why can't I be free
Why can't I be me
We live in a motionless world
We've nowhere to go
No wonder we're so depressed
Cos we live in a motionless world
