Inside Me 03:17
I’ve been waiting, but its no use Feel Im fading and Im confused I can't find the happiness I know exist Try to reach out, find my anger When I speak out, I feel stranger Try to open myself in ways I don't understand Help me to see Whats inside me Make it clearer Whats inside me Try to find myself at peace Reach for something I just can't reach Am I fooling myself once again Falling so hard, Just to lose in the end never will I see what lies ahead for me Blinded by the power thats so deep you can't see I clutch on to a thread of a dream Bonded by honesty Help me to see Whats inside me Make it clearer whats inside me

Time goes by so fast, like a blink of an eye. Every second you live. A part of you will die. No control over what you are and what is real You make decisions based off of life’s little ferry tales Can I tell you a story or two, and I hope you’ll understand Ya get nothing for nothing in the end. Can’t think can’t sleep cant do anything Cant fight cant cry, I don’t want you by my side cant morn anymore, how much more can I absorb This fighting is killing me, killing me inside. The rise and fall of this world is sitting on display Too many nightmares and my brain has gone insane Try to see the world through my obstructed view So many heartaches and they all come back to you, The road is long and never ending You hit some pot holes along the way Stumbling your way through life, then you find out theres a price And the price is way to steep to pay. Can’t think can’t sleep cant do anything Cant fight cant cry, I don’t want you by my side cant morn anymore, how much more can I absorb This fighting is killing me, killing me inside.

Dragons Burn 03:08
Sitting around with my thoughts in the clouds. My head gets clearer every day It's hard to see with so much misery I just can’t find another way The easy way is hard to rationalize No one knows just what I see Friends that are strangers and passersby Don’t want nothing to do with me Can’t you see what you mean to me Now you’re throwing it all away Desire burns and the itch is learned To light the fire in your veins Talking to yourself Trying to get some help I can’t hear myself I can’t help myself Crying in my sleep Don’t know what to think Fighting for my life Dying for my life Can’t you see what you mean to me Now you’re throwing it all away Desire burns and the itch is learned To light the fire in your veins In your veins

Hollow 03:32
Its better to let you go Finding out the hard way It’s hard to hold on to A place I knew so well Everything keeps changing Sometimes I can’t find my way home Still there, but lost in your eyes Everyday a part of me dies. Wake up my life’s hollow My vision’s gone of what I want to see And everyday I still follow This road that brought me to this place I see. Can I walk away Can I leave this whole thing all behind Doesn’t matter what you say Or the things you think you’ll find I hope someday you find it Can’t hide the pain Walk alone in silence Only have yourself to blame Wake up my life’s hollow My vision’s gone of what I want to see And everyday I still follow This road that brought me to this place I see

Stay 03:40
I know we’ve seen each other around I always see you on the wrong side of town Our eyes make contact and it's much too late Our feeling start and then dissipate I don’t know what to say, it's always in my head I keep falling faster, so many things unsaid People always try to bring us down If they saw the way we get around There would be no doubt for their dismay All the others are jealous, just get out of our way We owe it to ourselves, this only happens when it's real You can’t fight this back, you know I never will We can’t change the way we're holding this inside tonight It’s too late for tomorrow, it's too late for goodbyes It’s too late to say I’m sorry, but you gotta see I’ve tried I don’t care about tomorrow, 'cause I want you here today Please say that you’ll stay It’s too late for tomorrow, it's too late for goodbyes It’s too late to say I’m sorry, but you gotta see I’ve tried I don’t care about tomorrow, 'cause I want you here today Please say that you’ll stay

Just A Game 05:24
You weren’t young at heart You were young from the start, never held back, taking chances See your way on through, there's nothing you can’t do And when the fire makes a spark, it consumes you Every day looking for another way Just to make it through another day Fight the pain, and you feel insane And that moment their lives will change Troubled times, happy face Keep it all together, you're out of place Never hoped for this final day Would take you by surprise And realize.. it's just a game It's just a game It's just a game Push you every day Nothing makes you want to stay, what's the point, what's the reason? Try to hold on tight, It's just another night And try to make it through this mad season Troubled times, happy face, keep it all together, you're out of place Troubled times, happy face, keep it all together, you're out of place Troubled times, happy face, keep it all together, you're out of place Never hoped for this final day to take you by surprise It's just a game It's just a game

Where are we now, it seems so cold All these places and faces and traces of where we called home But still the night never ends Because all the people around us in life pretend to be friends I see the light, it's up ahead So many shadows are walking through hallways that have no end Why can’t they see what's going on They can’t see eye-to-eye and can’t get along, oh no Black light flurry is in the sky Trying to change each others minds Some people just can’t forget the past Reliving our history and we're fading fast Back and forth, there is no end We gotta teach each other that this world has got a plan To young to see, too old to care Can’t see eye-to-eye without spreading fear, oh no Black light flurry is in the sky Trying to change each others minds Some people just can’t forget the past Reliving our history and were fading fast

Belong 04:40
Wake up every morning with this aching head, I don’t want it I wash my hands of this every time I resist, I can’t fight it You can make it all better again Make me free, make me whole again and again Are you for real, should I hesitate? What I feel is what I know, and what I know is what I hate You can make all my dreams come true From inside, you hide the lies that make my nightmares come true. The sun is shinning bright through a darkened light, that I’ll see you You think I’m falling behind cause I'm losing time, but I need you You can make it all better again Make me free, make me whole again and again Are you for real, should I hesitate? What I feel is what I know, and what I know is what I hate You can make all my dreams come true From inside, you hide the lies that make my nightmares come true Can’t you see there's no one around, don’t you feel alone Every time you close your eyes, you're back at home But your reality is so far gone, you can’t even think where you belong
9.
I can’t imagine how scared you must feel Everyday like a spinning wheel You used to know this place and everyone here But now a days, You just sit there and stare It’s hard to know what your feeling inside so many times I just want to cry I remember walking together, walking hand and hand I thought forever meant forever until the end But I see you fading away from my own fading life Together, Forever, Until the end of time Round and round you go, its never very clear If your smiling out of love or out of fear Your mind is racing and no one seems to care You gotta get a grip, gotta hold on tight Gotta face all your demons that come out at night Don’t want to face them anymore, anymore, anymore. I remember walking together, walking hand and hand I thought forever meant forever until the end But I see you fading away from my own fading life Together, Forever, Until the end of time
10.
The End 03:51
It was cold and dark, I heard these voices in my head They said you cannot win, because you're dead People come and people go, don’t you know To be trapped in a world in which you're never going home Think about everything that's gone, you’ll never see it again Because the battle could not be won You had to face the end You try and try but are never satisfied Can’t stop the walls from building up inside I hear the screams from the tired and weak before me Twisted visions of my youth are all I ever see Think about everything that's gone, you’ll never see it again Because the battle could not be won You had to face the end
11.
Walking alone in his life I don’t know what brings tomorrow Endless days of endless fright Can’t you see it in my eyes? I don’t want to see tomorrow Every day is just a test Fight for food and all the rest Try to make it day by day In the end, you're gonna stay In the place that you call home
12.
I've watched my own suicide From the sidelines of my mind I didn't even know I was depressed Thats what happens when you start to rest. Too much thinking. Too much time. Nowhere to go. Nowhere to hide. A simple pause is all it takes You lose your mind and it starts to break.. I can't stop losing my mind I live in fear for the time To many questions to ask Can't run away from the past I see the truth in your eyes It makes me feel paralyzed Can't wake up, can't break this dream. Can't stop this pain. I want to scream. How many people have to hide. For their thoughts are their’s But made a crime. If your beliefs are thrown away. Can't tell the truth ,in this modern day. Don't know what's real, nothing makes sense. In this world of lies, there's no relevance. Getting closer every day , you feel the fire, you feel the flame. This dream is a nightmare .The flames getting higher. See every day pass away. Another tomorrows gone from yesterday.  Can't see the end. Can't see the light. Funeral of a nation is in our sight.
