- Track Name: There's a Light
-
You say you're miles away
From being who you want to be
You're locked in the struggle of the ages
And nothing can set you free
These shackles are tight
You're losing the will to fight
So full of ingenuity
So talented, so bright
So beautiful in every way
You just need a little light
Let me be the one
To let the shackles undone
There's a light in your deepest darkness
That leads to a higher ground
Let me be your guide
You've seen the path you're taking
And you don't like what you see
But the future's always changing
So why not take a chance on me?
It's never too late to change
I know it sounds strange
But there's a light in your deepest darkness
That leads to a higher ground
Let me be your guide
The world moves through the universe
And you're just along for the ride
Innocent and defenseless
Unable to turn the tide
But you can always change the course
Time is on your side
There's a light in your deepest darkness
That leads to a higher ground
Let me be your guide
- Track Name: Inside of You
-
There's a world that we can't see
Something longing to break free
Inside of you
There is shame, there is blame
There are things you can't explain
Inside of you
Like an rebel on the run
You look like you're having fun
But you're about to come undone
You look like a nun, but you speak like a sailor
You've learned more trades than the jack and the tailor
You're known by name by the judge and the jailer
And I'm just the madman who's come to bail you
Out of this mess
And into my heart
We're worlds apart
But I can tell
You're running from something
A storm on the brew
Although there is darkness
There's something hopeful
Inside of you
There is hope, there is pain
There is thunder and rain
Deep within you
There is joy, there is sadness
Is there method to the madness
Inside of you?
Your body's warm to the touch
I want to hold you like a crutch
But perhaps it's all too much for you
Well, you can't hold a tune, but you shine like a song
And I can't resist the way you're leading me on
You feel so right that you can't be wrong
But I know for a fact that you don't belong here
So leave this mess
Come into my heart
We're worlds apart
But I can tell
You're running from something
A storm on the brew
Although there is darkness
There's something hopeful
Inside of you
I'll never hurt you
And I won't use you like they do
I can save you
Where they have failed, I will succeed
- Track Name: Submission
-
When you walked into the room
Close behind was certain doom
I could see the night turn into day
I could feel my defenses slipping away
When you looked into my eyes
It really took me by surprise
Could I be the one you seek?
Another victim, simple and meek
Like a ship that's lost at sea
The storm can have it's way with me
You make a good man turn to sin
And it's so easy to give in
Submission
All of you is not enough
When the going's getting tough
Now I'm clawing at your door
Begging on my knees for more
Decadence in high esteem
Living out the junkie's dream
Try as I might, I just can't win
I don't have a choice, I have to give in
Submission
You leave me low, you leave me high
I'm stuck in limbo in the sky
And when I see your sideways grin
I know how deep I've fallen in
- Track Name: Invisible
-
You needn't ask questions, my soul has been bared
You've seen it all and more in the time that we've shared
From the way the wind blows through my hair
To the way I stumble when there's nobody there
I am your secret, and I am your flame
But I can't touch you, and I don't know your name
So far away, and yet so close
I must be the one who loves you the most
You're the reason I feel alone in the crowd
And why no one hears me when I scream out loud
No one understands me like you do
But I don't even know you
With your lifeless eyes you gaze into me
As your carefree hands caress and curl me
One more touch and I'm invisible to the world
Indulging fantasies that live in your head
Too afraid to live with me instead
But from a distance, you're pulling my strings
And hopelessly clinging to whatever it brings
Love is something you don't think you can trust
Too many times, you've been left in the dust
Broken-hearted, from morning to dawn
You watch desire walk on
With your lifeless eyes you gaze into me
As your carefree hands caress and curl me
One more touch and I'm invisible to the world
I don't have to be caged for you to love me
As the evening shadows dance above me
I'm already invisible to the world
You're the reason I feel alone in the crowd
And why no one hears me when I scream out loud
No one understands me like you do
But I don't even know you
- Track Name: Clean
-
Still digging in dumpsters for your last fix
Still creeping down alleyways and turning tricks
Still hiding in white sheets with a vacant stare
Ask your friends, they say you just don't care
Still licking the dark side of the silver spoon
Still craving the bottle in the afternoon
Still rooming in hotels in the seedy part of town
You always say you like to get around
Rehabilitation always did more harm than good
You've always been displaced and misunderstood
You will never be clean
You'll always be the victim on the scene
Forever bound to this way of life
Barely breathing
Still conning your friends in desperation
Still holding on to this depravation
Still in denial about how far you've gone
And unable to stray from the path you're on
Still pawning your jewelry and your mother's clothes
Still trying to hide what everybody knows
Still praying salvation from the light of the sun
But you know it'll never come
Not a soul can say you've earned their trust
No one gives half a damn if you turn to dust
You will never be clean
You'll always be the victim on the scene
Forever bound to this way of life
Barely breathing
You could never be pure
Just take a look at everything you've endured
Your blackened heart is a gaping hole
Silently seething
- Track Name: Alien
-
I'm an alien, an outsider
A monster of a man
My betrayal is still an open wound
So don't take me as I am
I'm dancing in the moonlight
To my own selfish tune
So let me play the fool
The green grasses we used to roam
Are now charred burial grounds
And though the years have rolled on by
I can still hear the sounds
Your screams of anguish
As I made my final stand
In spite of your demands
I can't walk down these streets unafraid
And I can't accept the life I've made
So I lay myself before the cruel hand of fate
I'm ready to feel your hate
These empty tears are not enough
To lift you from despair
And my words are nothing but insults
To the love we once shared
To think that another life
Was waiting in the wings
I'm only clawing at your heartstrings
I can't walk down these streets unafraid
And I can't accept the life I've made
So I lay myself before the cruel hand of fate
I'm ready to feel your hate
My irresponsible heart
Has torn our world apart
I cannot be forgiven
You thought I was an honest man
I thought it was a game
Now I'm all alone here
And there's no one else to blame
I'll wear this crown of shame
For as long as I live
I've nothing left to give
I can't walk down these streets unafraid
And I can't accept the life I've made
So I lay myself before the cruel hand of fate
I'm ready to feel your hate
- Track Name: Reach
-
I watch the world from a distance
In my lonely corner of existence
Shrouded in my imperfections
Starved for some love and affection
But if I showed myself
I'd feel like a clown
You come to me in daydreams
Lit with sun and moonbeams
You start a dance inside me
While reality still denies me
The pleasure of intimacy
Has got me unwound
Your tender love I would beseech
For all time
But you're living just beyond my reach
I'm willing you to fall
Into my open arms
We could run like the wildest horses
Through all of life's great courses
Throw it all down on the table
And gamble as long as we're able
But it's just fantasy
And it's bringing me down
Your tender love I would beseech
For all time
But you're living just beyond my reach
I'm willing you to fall
Into my open arms
Your beauty hits me
Like a sudden flash of light
It washes over me
And brings the impossible into sight
If loving you is wrong
Then I'm not going down without a fight
Your precious heart is all I need
To get by
For your touch, I'll beg and plead
I'm willing you to fall
Into my open arms
Your tender love I would beseech
For all time
But you're living just beyond my reach
- Track Name: She Walks with Angels
-
A voice from the heavens
Called unto me today
In the body of a woman
You could tell she had a way
Of putting helpless men like me
Under her spell
Into her tender trap
I so easily fell
If you're walking down a crowded street
She's bound to catch your eye
She'll fill your broken spirit
With the wildest wish to fly
If she brings you to your knees
There's a good reason why
She walks with angels tonight
She walks with angels
Long were the days
Longer were the nights
She staked her claim on my soul
Without a guiding light
Drowning in a sea
Of the desperately devout
These tepid waters
Wash away the doubt
If you're walking down a crowded street
She's bound to catch your eye
She'll fill your broken spirit
With the wildest wish to fly
If she brings you to your knees
There's a good reason why
She walks with angels tonight
She walks with angels
And I can see the angels
Walking stride for stride
If there truly is a god
I know he's on her side
If you're walking down a crowded street
She's bound to catch your eye
She'll fill your broken spirit
With the wildest wish to fly
If she brings you to your knees
There's a good reason why
She walks with angels tonight
She walks with angels
- Track Name: Come with Me
-
You've got feelings
You've got convictions
You've got beliefs
You've got addictions
You've got my heart
At the end of a rope
And you're giving me
A pinch of hope
You've got everything I've never had
But when I'm with you, it's not so bad
Come with me
Take my soul
Hold me close
Don't let go
Come with me
Hold my hand
Lift me up
Here I stand
Come with me
I'm a simple man
What can I do?
I'm incomplete
And lost without you
Shine your light
Light my way
Make it bright
And make my day
I close my eyes and take the pain
I know my love won't be in vain
Come with me
Take my soul
Hold me close
Don't let go
Come with me
Hold my hand
Lift me up
Here I stand
Come with me
I'll give credit where credit is due
When I look in the mirror
All I see is you
And I know that I don't have much to give
But I'll always be faithful
It's for you that I live
Don't let me go, don't let me break
It could be more than I can take
Come with me
Take my soul
Hold me close
Don't let go
Come with me
Hold my hand
Lift me up
Here I stand
