99 with an anchor

I can see the pressures on you,
It's affecting everything you do.
You want out, you want out.

Did you know it tears me in two?
You obsess on everything you lose.
You want out, you want out.

And I'll keep you waiting,
Where this life is so unfair.
You want out, you want out.

Wrap my fingers around your neck,
Till the shadows are dancing around you now,
Fingers only to drag you down.
Wait for someone to pull you above the rest.

Take this pain from me (I want you walking away, right now, right now)
Take this pain from me (And take this pain, And take this pain from me)
Take this pain from me (Chasing after, weakened and suffering)
Take this pain from me (Leave and free me now)

I'll be to far away from you,
To honor anything, anything you want.

Everytime I think of you, (Eyes are open)
Eyes are open now. (All the things we've had are through)
Eyes are open, eyes are open.

Take this pain from me (I want you walking away, right now, right now)
Take this pain from me (And take this pain, And take this pain from me)
Take this pain from me (Chasing after, weakened and suffering)
Take this pain from me (Leave and free me now)

We all have, we all have someone.
You wanted, you wanted more.

Leave me now...

Every day you cried out my name
You said to me that you can’t leave now
(Walk away from me now.
Everything that comes to mind
Will help you find it the last time I see you.
(Walk away from me now.)

Everything you want is over now.

A street car named desire

Time and time and time again
My loneliness is my only friend.
I just keep on sitting by the phone
Waiting for it to ring your tone.
I just, want to, know that, you care
I just, want to, know that you’ll be there.

So I sing this song to you.
Sorry I wasn’t, what you were looking for.
But you just don’t get it at all.
Life is always better, after the fall.

Pieces are raining down on me.
Wont wait, I can’t believe in this or anything at all.
After all you did, why would I care? Why should I care?
After, the pain you caused, why would I care? Why should I care?
I've waited for this so long, why would I care? Why should I care?

Loneliness, sadness, and solitude
These are a few of the things I’ve been through
Waiting for anything, everyday
Strange that you don’t seem to feel the same way
Write me off, bury me and leave me for dead
Open wide, eat your words and choke on regrets

After all you did, why would I care? Why should I care?
After, the pain you caused, why would I care? Why should I care?
I've waited for this so long, why would I care? Why should I care?

Look through me (Tragedy’s not so bad)
Remember what was left (Taking me down and more)
Take all I give to you
After what I’ve been through
Go ahead take it all (I honestly don’t care at all)
Set up and ready to fall (Let it fall)

Bitter party of one


Hide, hide from your life,
Bury yourself in the drugs that you try.
Cry, cry out your eyes no ones gonna buy your lies not this time

We were friends but now were enemies
There's a thousand different reasons that you wouldn't believe
I know you haven't got a thing,
Every day it brings you to your knees.
You're looking back to all the things that you had,
Your all alone it leaves you bitter and sad.
We see you as you are, weak and lonely now you'll play the part.

We don't even need you anymore.
This is it this is really goodbye,
Cause you burnt all the bridges and severed the ties.
We wont hear you when your cry.
Your already dead inside.
You lost your lovers abandoned your friends,
Enjoy the taste of your pills this is really the end.
So take your medicine, we don't want to see your face again.

Reflecting back to all the places you've been,
How would it feel to never see um again?You've done this to yourself.
Just move on and ruin something else.
I point a finger, you point all ten back.
You took the credit there I said it's a matter of fact.
If you were all the talent well then where are you at?
I hope your somewhere in the gutter lying flat on your back.

We don't even need you anymore.
This is it this is really goodbye,
Cause you burnt all the bridges and severed the ties.
We wont hear you when your cry.
Your already dead inside.
You lost your lovers abandoned your friends,
Enjoy the taste of your pills this is really the end.
So take your medicine, we don't want to see your face again.

Never gonna get,
Never gonna get,
You should know you're never gonna get,
Never gonna get
Any better, better, never, any better, better,
Better then you are.

[X2]

We don't even need you anymore.
This is it this is really goodbye,
Cause you burnt all the bridges and severed the ties.
We wont hear you when your cry.
Your already dead inside.
You lost your lovers abandoned your friends,
Enjoy the taste of your pills this is really the end.
So take your medicine, we don't want to see your face again.

Dead man's party

All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walking with a dead man over my shoulder
All dressed up with nowhere to go
Walking with a dead man over my shoulder

Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Going to a party where no one's still alive
All dressed up with nowhere to go
(Walking with a dead man over my shoulder)

I was struck by lighting
Walking down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door

Don't run away it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see

Got my best suit and my tie
Shiny silver dollar on either eye
I hear the chauffeur coming to the door
Says there's room for maybe just one more

I was struck by lighting
Walking down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door

Don't run away it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see

I was struck by lighting
Walking down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door
I was struck by lighting
Walking down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party
Who could ask for more
Everybody's coming, leave your body at the door

February

My home, shrinking in the distance
(Every time I leave it's not the time to cry)
I'm leaving but I'll return
(did you think before we got it?)
Every time you breathe, I hope you think of me
Those are the words you told me, told me

don't question why I had to leave
(I think it's time to leave)
One reason, only for a dream
(I think of what I'll see)
This moment feels like destiny
(I want to tell you why)
Won't you tell me, tell me

You want me to always remember
I promise "I always will"
You'll watch and you'll wait for my return
I promise I'm coming home

For all the lonely nights when you're not feeling alive
Look towards the midnight sky and wait for sunrise
This is the life we live, the only one that we know
it seems to never end, never end

You want me to always remember
I promise "I always will"
You'll watch and you'll wait for my return
I promise I'm coming home

You know that I can't resist this
(It's not the time to grieve.
It's not the last goodbye.)
I'm destined for roads unknown
(did you think before we got it).
"Every time you breathe, I hope you think of me"
Those are the words ya told me, told me.

So when will it end?
When will it end?
When will it end?
When will it end?

(Sometimes I don't know where I am-where I'll be.
Feels like I'm so far-far away-far away from home.)

It's hard to move you

Let's just assume that you're always right,
But you still want to put up a fight.
Turn your back and walk away,
Cause there's nothing left for me to say.
And all and all you're barely getting by.
You're never satisfied.
Open your ears and shut your eyes (shut your eyes).

It's hard to move you when you're dead inside.
There's nothingness in your eyes.
I can't impress you when you're not alive.
Why do we even try?

All and all you never use your mind.
And you're following the blind.
Open your eyes and see the light (open and see the light).

It's hard to move you when you're dead inside.
There's nothingness in your eyes.
I can't impress you when you're not alive.
Why do we even try?

I've always known it's hard to move the ones that don't believe in dreams.
I try my hardest just to reach you but you still don't feel a thing.
And all of the empathy inside this world, you know it's killing me.
I've always known it's hard to move the ones that don't believe in dreams.
You don't believe in anything.

You don't feel a thing at all.
(It's hard to move you.)
You don't feel a thing at all.
(It's hard to move you.)

I've always known it's hard to move the ones that don't believe in dreams.
I try my hardest just to reach you but you still don't feel a thing.
And all of the empathy inside this world, you know it's killing me.
I've always known it's hard to move the ones that don't believe in dreams.
I've always known it's hard to move the ones that don't believe in dreams.
I try my hardest just to reach you but you still don't feel a thing.
And all of the empathy inside this world, you know it's killing me.
I've always known it's hard to move the ones that don't believe in dreams.

June 11th, 1980

It's been such a long time since I've seen your face,
And maybe I ignore the sound of your voice.
It's leaving me empty you try to forget me.
These days and chances are looking slim.
I tell "You look nice." you say I'm looking thin.
I say "I haven't been eating or really been sleeping.
Just breathing and thinking of you."

I'm coming clean tonight.
I'm going to tell you everything I've been holding inside.
But I'm only wasting time.
I don't want to let you go.

I see you in his arms I'm faking a smile.
I watch as you finish the drink in your hand.
Pretend to be happy until you look at me.
Now we remember again.
Right now you know I could use a drink
Or even better yet maybe two or three.
Because I've never been over the pain,
And it helps me forget and go on once again.

I'm coming clean tonight.
I'm going to tell you everything I've been keeping inside.
But I'm only wasting time.
I don't want to let you go.

Now I'm sleeping I can breathe.
This is now a dream.
Under the moonlight and in your arms,
Always forever 'till everything's just fine.
Under this street light and in your eyes,
Always forever 'till everything's just fine.

I'm coming clean tonight.
I'm going to tell you everything I've been keeping inside.
But I'm only wasting time.
I don't want to let you go.
That I outta let you know.

Next of kin

Forgive

Remember the things I promised you
Forgotten to love you, you know its true
I tumble then fall for you
The truth now lies in angry eyes
This time I'll pay the price
Pay the price to rise

This feelings got to go
This pain just takes it's toll
If you need me, let me know
I'm here for you
This feelings got to go
This pain just takes it's toll
If you need me, let me know
I'm here for you

All my life I learned from you
The lessons I've learned are never through
I'm sorry my father
Your heart, my hand
Not breaking it again
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
This will be the end

Do you ever think of me? (You follow it underneath your skin)
Where do we go to find what's within?
Just let it go, always within
(What lies)
Always in you
It falls apart
In caves inward
I'm the only one who floats below the rest
Of the angels, of the angels, of the angels

This feelings got to go
This pain just takes it's toll
If you need me, let me know
I'm here for you
This feelings got to go
This pain just takes it's toll
If you need me, let me know
I'm here for you

No more you

I can tell by your last five phone calls,
That you're going to raise hell with me tonight.
Same old stupid conversation,
Another perfect evening ruined by a jealous fight.
I never want to hear your voice because to me it's only noise.
I hope you stay away.

I can tell by the voice mails I've received,
Something's going on you're trying to blame it all on me.
I know we're sleeping up in your bed,
I tore her pictures down and burned the shit to cut our sweat.
I never want to hear your voice because to me it's only noise.
I hope you stay away.

When the radio plays this song,
I hope you can't help but sing along.
When the radio plays this song,
I hope you can't help but sing along.

You should know that the love you've wasted,
It isn't coming back you'll never find a love like me.
You'll never get me out of your head.
I wrote this song for you and named it so you can't forget.
I never want to hear your voice because to me it's only noise.
I hope you stay away.

When the radio plays this song,
I hope you can't help but sing along.
When the radio plays this song,
I hope you can't help but sing along.

Now we say goodbye.
Now we say goodbye.
But you never showed it, you never showed it.
No intention, you never noticed,
How you really made me feel inside.
Now it isn't worth remembering.
I think it's time to forget.

When the radio plays this song,
I hope you can't help but sing along.
When the radio plays this song,
I hope you can't help but sing along.

Object of no desire

Let the music get into you,
Feel the rhythm as it starts to fill you.
Do you want to? do you want to burn up?
Press your hips against mine.
We're making sparks and they're bound to ignite flames,
To keep us warm forever.
Don't stop, cause it's now or never.
We fight the feeling, but we just surrender,
To the things we fear the most in life.
Close your eyes and fall in love again.
Hold your breath and fall in love again.

Spinning around, we're going down but up in flames tonight,
My bleeding heart can't put this out.
And I didn't want to fall apart again,
Sweetheart before you lose me, tell me you love me truly.

I've always known that it's hard to move you,
I'd give my life for the words to soothe you.
Still they end up trapped behind my lips.
Oh baby, how you leave me tongue tied.
You've got me wishing I could stay the whole night,
I'm afraid to fall in love with you.

Spinning around, we're going down but up in flames tonight,
My bleeding heart can't put this out.
And I didn't want to fall apart again,
Sweetheart before you lose me, tell me you love me truly.

We all need a reason to just let go.
We wait for a moment that might not show.
Always looking ahead instead of looking around.
Always looking for something that's already found.
Sweetheart before you lose me, tell me you love me truly.

Spinning around, we're going down but up in flames tonight,
My bleeding heart can't put this out.
And I didn't want to fall apart again,
Set me up to break my heart again.

I didn't wanna fall, didn't wanna fall.
I didn't wanna fall in love again.
I didn't wanna fall, didn't wanna fall.
I didn't wanna fall in love again.

Sweetheart before you lose me, tell me you love me truly.
Sweetheart before you lose me, tell me you love me truly.

Pretty when you cry

And all of the things we need
(I just can’t sit here and wait for long)
They always seemed to be to far out of reach for you and me.
(To get there, together, call it out.)
And all of the lives we've lived.
(My eyes are closed cause what I’ve seen is gone)
They only seem to take before they give to you and I.
(Crush me; suffer, for others…)

Watch and wonder. What you are and where you'll be.
I'll be waiting; I'll be waiting…
Sleep in splendour while your dreams are whispering.
Come on and catch me. Try and catch me.
I noticed at times like these I feel about a million miles away.
I never believed in me, I think its time to start.
(Time to start)

And all of the things we need
(I just can’t sit here and wait for long)
They always seemed to be so far out of reach for you and me.
(To get there, together, call it out.)
And all of the lives we've lived.
(My eyes are closed cause what I’ve seen is gone)
They only seem to take before they give to you and I.
(Crush me; suffer, for others…)

Start defending all the things that you believe.
Now you're ready, now you're ready.
Don’t surrender all the hope that you should keep.
It’s now or never, now or never.
Never an aim to please, I always seem to end up on my knees.
I've always believed in this I think its time to stop,
(Stop right now)

And all of the things we need
(I just can’t sit here and wait for long)
They always to be so far out of reach for you and me.
(To get there, together, call it out.)
And all of the lives we've lived.
(My eyes are closed cause what I’ve seen is gone)
They only seem to take before they give to you and I.
(Crush me; suffer, for others…)

Emptiness that seems to fill you
The kind of pain that shall consume you
The walls move and close in on you
Think fast what would you do?
Right now we can’t find answers
To the pain that I have caused
And wait for this world to die
So we can finally rise

And all of the things we need
(I just can’t sit here and wait for long)
They always to be so far out of reach for you and me.
(To get there, together, call it out.)
And all of the lives we've lived.
(My eyes are closed cause what I’ve seen is gone)
They only seem to take before they give to you and I.
(Crush me; suffer, for others…)

Seasons will go, be grateful.
So I say goodnight, for you. Cause you want it that way
I can see, what you mean to me now.
So I’m waiting now, I’m waiting now.

Rain on her parade

Have you ever loved her?
I have and it hurts (I have and I know it hurts)
To watch you fall like you were nothing (nothing)
And what for? (what for?), youth is lost

And I punch the walls
Do you care at all?
Those days were forever ours
Your forgotten lies
They stood the test of time

So I take this opportunity
To tell you what you don't mean to me (tell you what you don't mean to me)
Your grievances have left me standing still
Under a dark grey sky we come undone (dark grey sky we come undone)

And you've lost it all
Think you're so beautiful? Says who?
With scars of our love
"So beautiful', says who?

Before they throw you a parade
We should dispose of your charades
If they only knew (The person that you are)
The person i could be (The person you could've been)

Through rise and fall
You lost it all
You lost it all
You lost it all

So can I really love her? (love her?)
I have and I know it hurts
Many times I felt like I was nothing
And what for?
Never know
I've lost it all

Sounds and silence

Sirens racing, heading northbound on the freeway.
Tragedy has happened early in the morning today.
Best friend, my best friend's gone for sure.
I'm never gonna get him back.
I spent a lifetime trying, trying to be someone.
Trying to get things right,
Now I'll never get to show you.

Never forget him, we'll never.
He'll never be gone.
Never forget him, we'll never.
He'll never be gone.
(He fell and he hit the ground)
Never even made a sound, never even made a sound.

Pacing and waiting in this empty hospital.
Dying in wait, he desperately clings for life.
Suddenly, I'm facing the fear that I've wasted time.
(Hold on, don't let go yet.)
(Not now, it's not your time.)
My best friend, my best friend's gone for sure.
I'm never gonna get him back.

Is this really happening to us now?
I believe it is.
Just please forgive me.
Don't forget me.
Is this really happening to us now?
I believe it is.
Just please forgive me.
Don't forget me.

Tell me doctor, we've got a heart beat.
Tell me doctor, we've found a pulse now.
Tell me doctor, we've got a heart beat.
Tell me doctor, we've found a pulse now.
Now the heartbeat's gone, now the heartbeat's gone.

(He fell and he hit the ground.)
Never even made a sound, never even made a sound.
Never forget him, we'll never.
He'll never be gone.
Never forget him, we'll never
He'll never be gone.
(He fell and he hit the ground.)
Never even made a sound, never gonna get him back.

Is this really happening to us now?
I believe it is.
Just please forgive me.
Is this really happening to us now?
I believe it is.
Just please forgive me.
Don't forget me.
Is this really happening to us now?
I believe it is.
Just please forgive me.
Don't forget me.

Streetcar

Pieces are raining down on me
We won't wait, We can't Believe in this or anything at all.
After What you did,
Why would I care? Why should I care?
After, the pain you caused,
why would I care? Why should I care?
I've waited for this so long,
why would I care? Why should I care?

Loneliness, sadness, and solitude
These are a few of the things I've been through
Waiting for anything, everyday
Strange that you don’t seem to feel the same way
Write me off, bury me and leave me for dead
Open wide, eat your words and choke on regrets

After what you did,
why would I care? Why should I care?
After the pain you caused,
why would I care? Why should I care?
I've waited for this so long,
why would I care? Why should I care?

Look Through me
Tragedy's not so bad
Remember what was lost
Taking me down and more
Take all I give to you
Go ahead and take
I honestly don't care at all
Set up and ready to fall, Let it fall

Summer so bleak

We're not, not like you
The summer is coming now
We're not, not like you
Your heart is untrue
The answers are ringing out
The pain you create can make a scar
You'll fall apart, you went too far
Now that the summers gone
We're not, not like you
Your heart is untrue
The endings are raining down
Why do you run away from fears
You'll fall apart, you’ll fall for years

Good bye sky, hello destiny
(Now that the summers gone)
The clock is ticking but you cease to recognize
(Well where are you now?)
What this house meant to me
(The endings are raining down)
What does all this mean
(What's next now?)

The trust is gone, lessons learned
It will always be and I’m all done

Crash and crawl away
Crash and crawl away
Now I’m not afraid
Now I'm not afraid

Swallow and forget
Swallow this regret
Crash

A swell of anger in the sea that is
The sea that is my moods
Its hard to move you, its hard to prove to you
(Slow down, slow down)
All that I can do
A heart of stone to match the concrete wings
(Slow down, slow down)
You gave to me that day
And now we’ve gone our separate ways
(Slow down, slow down)

Good bye sky, hello destiny
(Now that the summers gone)
The clock is ticking but you cease to recognize
(Well where are you now?)
What this house meant to me
(The endings are raining down)
What does all this mean
(What's next now?)

The game

What are they gonna say when you just move along?
We'll get you out of here, just be strong,
(We'll get you, get you out.)
I thought I saw you today, I couldn't be wrong.
(Oh, and you have changed.)
You were caught between the lines and you couldn't get out.
It's been a few years since you left home.
Do you miss your residence?
Just keep on trying and you'll get out soon.
You'll get out soon.

I think you're doing much better but you say I fold.
You think you're oh so clever but you say I fold.
You say I fold.
Give up and give up and move on and move on,
With the rest, with the rest of your lonely life.

Have you selled yourself?
It's such a shame the way they use you up, destroy your name.
We'll get you out of here, just be strong.
Gonna bend the life you can't get out.

I think you're doing much better but you say I fold.
You think you're oh so clever but you say I fold.
You say I fold.
Give up and give up and move on and move on,
With the rest, with the rest of your lonely life.

I think you're doing much better but you say I fold.
You think you're oh so clever but you say I fold.
(Give up and give up and give up and give up)
You say I fold.
(And move on and move on)
You say I fold.
(With the rest, with the rest)
You say I fold.

The prediction

Watch this slow death
Rewind this up
Rewind this up for good

Pulled out from under
Your crashing your cover now
(Oh, were feeling lost in the dark)

It's the end of it all
We know it's only our(my) fault

Pulled out from under
Your crashing your cover now
(Feeling lost in the dark)

Trapped in the wreckage
Surrounded by blood of the friends I lost..
I'm watching you all
I'm trying to call out but I just can't
(provide the words.. that your longing for..)

My soul is leaving my body behind
I'm trying just to talk to you
Why, why, this is the end of my life
I didn't get to talk to you..

You cry at the funeral
I'm crying above you

The wind on your face
And the rain on your back
I'll be there, I'll be with you..

Watch this slow death
Rewind this up
Rewind this up for good

Pulled out from under
Your crashing your cover
(Oh, we're feeling lost in the dark)

It's the end of it all
We know it's only our(my) fault

Pulled out from under
Your crashing your cover
(We're feeling lost in the dark)

Now we're floating away [x2]
And we're floating away (away, away...)
The fears I've had are floating away
The dreams I've had have come to pass [x2]

Things aren't so beautiful now

Hospital, the only thing she knows
Waiting around can feel like forever
She knows she's not there at all
And everything I see repeats over and over.

I, I, I can't breathe.

Eyes toward the silver screen
We watch it fade to black
One last climatic scene.
We watch the roles play back

It's not right
He leads a double life

A silver bullet tonight
She's been advised
But nothings right
All the things he's done have come to destroy their lives

And in her mind she's terrified
Of all the things she's yet to find
The moon is full, and she's done her fill of life

Pushed away into the side-lines
Where she's waiting most of her life

She's bonded to his ways, she can't be dead
She's been that way for a long time

Hospital, the only thing she knows
Waiting around can feel like forever
She knows she's not there at all
And everything I see repeats over and over

I, I, I can't breathe

Look at you now, all your worries and regrets
(Won't forget, won't forget)

Why she still comes to stay with me.. (I'll forget.)

(Is he okay?..)

(I'm sorry theres no visitors)

Things aren't so beautiful now ( part 2 )

Scene begins as a telephone rings.
Chokes a gasp at the awful news it brings.
A phone call she's been avoiding.
She knows he's reached the end.

Hooked up to the respirator.
It breaths life into my callused lungs.
My heart beats getting fainter.
I know my time has come.

It's getting colder
been trying to show her
that I'm not the one
to be there beside her now
I'm crossing over
can no one console her
alone she'll remain
with no way to end this pain.

Now I realize the things that I
(All of the things that I wanted in this world)
the things I have done to you
(What have I done to you)
why you gave your love with all your heart.
(Hands went way to fast)
With all that a heart could give.

Intentions that you'll never know
the reason why I have to lead astray
I gave you a life time of pain and remorse
(Mistakes that were never yours)
the wrong in my life can never be right.
(It flashes before my eyes)

(How did he come to this,
His mind is working harder than ever before.
Thousands of thoughts in seconds.
His last thoughts were of her,
and how he and he alone had destroyed the once
vibrant spirit he had coveted so deeply.
The last pain he had ever caused is to the only
woman that had ever loved him...)

Bright light is calling me upward.
(A ghost for now)
I follow and leave you below
Now you're all alone.
And I leave you with nobody by your side.
Not to hurt you ever again
Never break your spirit for me.
Now I'm all alone.
Still I cherish the things that you have given to me.
Bright light is calling me upward
I follow and leave you below
Now
