Can't you feel that there is something
That is burning up inside
I don't know what it means
But there's something that I ain't tried
It feels like me against the nations
And it's something I can't hide
I don't care if you believe me
'Cause its burning me alive
I tell you

Nothing comes that easy
Nothing comes for free
Something comes from nothing
If you're willing to believe
Everything has meaning
Everything we see
Are you willing
To give up everything

You don't need a revelation
To open up your mind
Break down all your reasons
Leave them all behind
Cause it takes faith for moving mountains
And strength to walk the line
Your apology accepted
And there's nothing you can hide
Believe me

Time will tell


. . .


Midnight I've fallen fast asleep
Daylight I can't remember anything
So many questions that get in the way
About the place I keep sleeping awake

So wake me and tell me what you see
Let me walk with you in the streets
The streets with no name cause I feel far away
And as I wake I only fail to remember

Why do I feel like I'm slipping away
Why do I feel so far away
Wake me up inside my dreams
Just in time for me to believe

Another morning chasing lies
After another evening chasing skies
So make tonight my reality
So tomorrow I remember everything

Why do I feel
Like staying awake when I fall asleep

I don't wanna feel
The pain never ends cause it never began


. . .


The sunshine of a new day
Shines upon my face
I don't know where to begin
I don't know how it came to this
If things don't change maybe I'll
Be the one that you can't find
I've tried so many times
Tried to get it right
Just so our worlds won't
Collide like two stars in the sky
Its time we both decide
To leave this all behind
When the sun goes down
The future's looking bright
When all is said and done
And tomorrow has begun
Remember today is now yesterday
Can we find a way find a way to let it go
When tomorrow comes
Today will be a brand new day
Can we let it go

The sunshine of a new day
Shines upon my face
Reminding me of mistakes
Memories I must erase
Here's one more chance for me
To throw them all away
Today's a brand new start
We made this way too hard
We both need something like
Amnesia of the heart
We stand here face to face
See I won't look away
If you just hold my hand
We'll make it through the day
When all is said and done
And tomorrow has begun
Remember today is now yesterday
Can we find a way find a way to let it go
When tomorrow comes
Today will be a brand new day
Can we let it go

. . .


Ride
I'm an outlaw taking chances
When there's nothing left to gain
I get caught seeking answers
That only cause me pain
Can't let my eyes get branded
So I can find my way
I'll ride like a runaway bandit
'Cause I found that I'm to blame

Time keeps changing
But the story's the same
Why do we all keep looking
For somebody to blame
The score needs settled
But this isn't a game
So win lose or die ride
This is the reckoning

I'm a renegade livin' the edge and
You're the one who lives afraid
I keep on turning the pages
You keep on running away
I'm a young gun shootin' to payback
Here comes the ricochet
I see wanted dead or alive
On the page I see my face

What good is the cure without the disease

. . .


I look around and see
All of these different places
And I can't help but think
All of these different faces
Have made the same mistake
And got up and walked away
You'll never here me say
Its time to walk away

Why am I so afraid when I've got nothing to fear?
How did it dissipate? How did it all disappear?
When I anticipate this time I won't shed a tear
I let it resonate for everybody to hear

Somebody tell how to save me from myself
'Cause my worst enemy is staring back at me
Somebody tell me how to save me from myself
Cause every time that I try it's such a tragedy

If I'm the opposition
Why can't I just back down
So full of ammunition
That tries to shoot me down
In all this repetition
That's going round and round
Submit to my submission
Before I get shot down

Cause all I see is somebody else that's watching at me
It's the enemy

And I know I can see the enemy

. . .


I don't ever want to have to see you go
'Cause I don't ever want to have to be alone
Little did I know I wasn't on my own
This is the only way I've found for me to show
Exactly how I feel as you go

I will never say never say die
Forever and ever I'll try
Got to get it right
Just between you and I
This could be the last goodbye

And I know that I will never ever find
Another one of a kind a love redefined
Hold on tight to the one that lights your eyes
Cause every single day we're running out of time
So I have got to find a way to show you how I feel

Got to get it right could this be
This could be the last goodbye

. . .


Friday morning when she walked out the door
She couldn't take anymore and so she tried to ignore

Her daddy he wanted to settle the score
From all the little meetings they had had before

All the secrets started taking their toll
Making daddy more bold, but it was bruising her soul

He didn't know that she had already told
Her mother already knows and now the drama unfolds
As she says

My, you're my angel in disguise
You look at me with gentle eyes
My, you're my angel in disguise
You saved my from that one last cry

It's Friday evening and he's at it again
Another hour and then all the pressure begins

The phone keeps ringing so he finally gives in
To hear the voice of his wife asking where have you been

He tells her I'll be home as soon as I can
So tuck the kids into bed 'cause time has slipped through my hands

A pause and then she says she loves him again
Then it finally sets in that she's always been

It's Friday morning and she walked through the door
All of those thoughts from before she no longer ignored

She's finally home she set her bags on the floor
But her mother wasn't there to hold her hand anymore

She heard her daddy he was calling her name
She went back to his room but he wasn't the same

He said I'm sorry for the tears that you've cried
Will you ever forgive me she said I've already tried, as he said

. . .

Elysian

[No lyrics]

. . .


I'd rather take a shot in the chest
Than take a shot in the back
At least I'll see it coming and I'll know where I'm standing at
To get shot down by your own such a crying shame
So watch your back no matter what side you take

You got me caught up in a crossfire

I'm caught in a crossfire
Feels like a suicide the heats closing in on me
When its down to the wire your life on the line
Will you save me from this
Chaos surrounding me

You call yourself a soldier but you've never put your toe to the line
Cause when the banner flies you're too afraid to ride
You hang me out to dry you never rendezvous
Eyes in the back my head they'll be watching you

I would take death before I deny you
I would cheat death just to stand by you
I would fear death if I couldn't see you
I would take death before I deny you
Death before deny


. . .


There's a whole world going on outside
But you've been stuck inside your mind
Do you let fear motivate you
Or does it complicate you
Leaving you a step behind

You're left with no one standing by your side
You try to justify your lies
It starts to agitate you
Don't let this aggravate you
There's no need to apologize

We all need resolution
You can find your way through
There's only one solution
You've gotta find what you're looking for

You've been hiding in that weak disguise
Hoping no one sees your foolish eyes
Don't let that intimidate you
Don't let it separate you
From all the ones who question why

Just keep on reaching for the sky
And you'll find out its not that high
When you let love elevate you
When you let it gravitate you
You're in for the ride of your life

We all need resolution
You can find your way through
There's only one solution
You've gotta find what you're looking for

Don't let the moment pass you
Don't let distractions blind you
Don't let question stop you
Don't let the answers miss you

. . .


I can't stop thinking about it
I don't like living without it
So please don't take
So please don't take
So please don't take it away
So find another way

Things get so complicated
Frustration's overrated
So please don't take
So please don't take
So please don't take it away
There's gotta be a better way
For to find our way around
But for now we'll just have to say

Sometimes I lose my mind
And sometimes I don't know why
And I don't if I can find a way around
To work it out
Tonight

All of these weak reactions
All start with stupid actions
Somebody please take
Somebody please take
Somebody please take it away
So find another way

So long I've concentrated
Emotions overstated
So please don't take
So please don't take
So please don't take it away
There's gotta be a better way
For us to find our way around
But for we'll just have to say

Things get so complicated
I'm frustrated there's confusion in my head

Its times like these
That I need to stop and think
Make all of me
Start to fit the missing link

Down on my knees
It's my mind that's leaving me
God help me please
To make sense of this


. . .


I hear a voice in the autumn breeze
Telling me that I need to leave
But I can't fly with these broken wings

The leaves they move like poetry
Its all still such a mystery
But I can finally hear the melody

I've been here for so long
I think its time I moved on
So tell me where it is that I need to be

Where ever the wind blows
You will find me there
Standing exactly where I wanna be

Wasting time here is killing me
Waiting here for the remedy
So I can hear the sound of angels sing

I need something to carry me
To a place that I've never seen
'Cause right here I've seen all there is to see

I've been waiting, waiting for the day
So can you carry me away
You elevate me
How far can you take me carry me away

. . .


Next time I try
To cross your mind
Remind me to look both ways
So I don't get hit by your lies

You lacerate me with all of
These memories
And now I wear these scars out on my sleeve

These broken hearts
Are left with scars
Because of your lies
And all this time
It feels like I'm
Chasing shadows at midnight

The days fade
And stars come out at night
And when the sun goes down
I know exactly what I'll find
Some things in this life
Will never change
We both have apologies to exchange

These broken hearts
Are left with scars
Because of your lies
And all this time
It feels like I'm
Chasing shadows at midnight

How could I let myself
Fall into your lies
I only trusted you
With all of my life
Now I am stuck here
I'm trapped under ice
The only way out
Is for me not to ask why
