Lyrics
Statistic
You may have wondered if you saw me yesterday
Another poor boy who got caught up in the fray
That's what all the paper headlines read today
Another tragedy, oh Lord, let us pray
Tired of being just a statistic
Another number in the catalyst system
Just trying to follow in big brother's footsteps
Oh, world, what is it you've watched me become?
And as I watch them place the flowers on the grave
Say we'll remember you on this special day
It comes around this time every single year
We gave your mom a flag for her to wipe her tears
Tired of being just a statistic
Another number in the catalyst system
Just trying to follow in big brother's footsteps
Oh, world, what is it you've watched me become?
So Long
Looking out on the sunset, colors reflecting in your eyes
Just us and the horizon, this feeling of your warmth and mine
But when the shadows start to fall
I'll still be with you in the dark
'Cause tonight we'll be together
Oh I wanna be with you so long
And tonight you'll feel much better
When we're holding each-other in our arms
All the words I'd set to motion
Just for you to understand
All the things I want to tell you
But I can't begin to comprehend
I wanna be with you so long
In my imagination, you are the one of which I dream
No watercolor sunset can match the one that I am seeing
Even in the quietest moments
Feels like the world belongs to us
'Cause tonight we'll be together
Oh I wanna be with you so long
And tonight you'll feel much better
When we're holding each-other in our arms
All the words I'd set to motion
Just for you to understand
All the things I want to tell you
But I can't begin to comprehend
I wanna be with you so long
Façade Of Love
You better run, you better hide
'Cause if I see you telling lies again
You'll never find someone to love you
Yes, what we had was something great
Before you threw it all away
Meant nothing to you then
So why do you care so much now?
What else could you even want?
You've taken everything my love, my care, my time
And most of all, ability to trust you
For what, now you sit alone
And think about the past
The ones that you betrayed, abused
Under the façade of love
You feel that love is just a game
And whoever plays is your pawn
That you can break in pieces
To fit the needs of your own
Façade of love
Every single word you spoke to me
Façade of love
Everything I felt was all a dream
(Brought me to my knees)
Scratch that, I wonder if you ever loved me anyway
Was just an afterthought to you
One more player in your game of two
Façade of love
Every single word you spoke to me
Façade of love
Everything I felt was all a dream
(Brought me to my knees)
Cherry Childhood
Dear twenty-seven
I wonder where you're at right now
I only see you in my imagination
I'll catch up somehow
Don't want to let go
Of all the friends I've ever known
But I don't know
If any path will ever lead me home
So goodbye to the decade of
My cherry childhood
Soar like a dove
I hope that you accomplish
Everything they thought you would
So goodbye to the decade of my childhood
Young as I'll ever be
But please don't make the time go by too fast
I need to start living in the moment
But I can't forget the past
So goodbye to the decade of
My cherry childhood
Soar like a dove
I hope that you accomplish
Everything they thought you would
So goodbye to the decade of my childhood
Neon Sky
Take me to a different world
Where the colors shine so bright
Let the light rays sweep you off your feet
Gaze upon a neon sky
I'm flying high, I'm shining on
Wanna find what I'm searching for
Here in the dark
I'm feeling scared, I'm feeling lost
But if I fail, I won't give up
Until I'm staring at a neon sky
Jumped awake at two this morning
When the headlights hit the stars
Woke up to the dull and distant world
That I tried so hard to escape from
I'm flying high, I'm shining on
Find what my purpose here is for
Lost in the world
I'm feeling scared, still feeling lost
But when I fail, I won't give up
This time I'm staring at a neon sky
Another Lifetime
I don't know why I still feel pain
When I hear, I hear your name
It seems to me that I've been blinded
Into this cycle for quite some time
And I don't wanna seem ungrateful for
All the times we had when I could call you mine
Just wanna show you what I meant
When I said I'd love you until I die
Oh, how I wish that I could fix
Erase the past and calm the raging tide
Wish I could find you in another lifetime
Try to make you mine again
I've heard the news that you've moved on
To spend your life with somebody new
Well I wish that I could too
Or get a second chance like I gave you
Oh, how I wish that I could fix
Erase the past and calm the raging tide
Wish I could find you in another lifetime
Try to make you mine again
Sunset Boulevard
They should've seen you standing in the moonlight
Lurking in an alley off of sunset boulevard
Every face you find familiar
Under cover of dark
When you’re swept off of the street
And there’s no sign of turning back
To a figure dressed in darkness
You sold all your innocence for cash
Why do you keep running back to me?
Was it something that I said?
I know they say you can't buy a thrill
But I found green-backed love instead
Faced with the light of sunrise
Thrown back out into the cold
The city streetlights start to dimmer
As you scurry home
When you’re swept off of the street
And there’s no sign of turning back
To a figure dressed in darkness
You sold all your innocence for cash
Why do you keep running back to me?
Was it something that I did?
I know they say you can't buy a thrill
But I can’t help but giving in
Why do you keep running back to me?
Our love is hanging by a thread
I know they say you can't buy a thrill
But if they catch you then you’re dead
Are You Satisfied? (R.U.S.S.)
It seems like only yesterday
When I held you close to me
But after the rain washed away
I see his shadow clearly
Was it all worth trading a risk of pleasure on a dime?
I thought our love was worth more
Than reckless seconds of your time
Confirmed my insecurities
Brought naiveness to reality
All the hopeless false securities that I was clinging to
Why do you have to haunt my dreams?
You're not the love I thought I knew
But one last time before you leave
I have a few questions for you
Are you satisfied?
Do you stand by your decision?
Do you feel you have permission
To give yourself forgiveness?
Are you happy now?
Now that you no longer see me
Did I hold you down?
Keep your wings held to the ground?
If only I had known from the start
The writing's on the wall
I see the writing's on the wall
I never thought I'd feel so alone
But now love's at its end
And I lost my best friend
Are you satisfied?
Do you stand by your decision?
Do you feel you have permission
To give yourself forgiveness?
Are you happy now?
Now that you no longer need me?
Was I not enough
So you left me for his touch?
Are you satisfied?
Do you ever feel remorse?
Will I ever get the feeling I don't love you anymore?
Will I ever get the feeling I don't love you anymore?
Page From The End Of The Story
So now that it's all over
Time to turn another page
When all is bled and won
There's nothing left to say
No matter how hard we try
We never seem to get too far
Is it just a waste of time?
Did I lose a lucky draw?
It's just a page from the end of the story
Another cog in the wheel
One more scene from the end of the movie
Is it wrong to feel the way I feel?
How can you feel so distant
When you're lying next to me?
Pair of birds locked in their cages
Just trying to break free
I’m just a page from the end of the story
Another cog in the wheel
One more scene from the end of the movie
Is it wrong to love the one I fear?
Question On My Mind
I woke up late this morning with a question on my mind
Where do we all go when we are running out of time?
I've seen them in their nursing homes just waiting for a call
Their eyes a mirror image of the man who's on the wall
They get no confrontation
For the things that they believe
So tell me why should I be
Scrutinized for my beliefs?
I look outside my window and there's violence in the streets
If there's someone up there, can you put our minds at ease?
There's people down here suffering, starving, slaying with their fists
If you're up there, then why haven't you put an end to this?
It doesn't really matter
What you think your time is worth
In the end, why can't we
Make heaven a place on earth?
So if you don't want to make a change
But you think the world is getting strange
When you're six feet under, don't complain
'Cause there's always someone else to blame
If someone with the purest heart in all the world can be condemned to hell
Then what the hell do you believe?
For what about the ones who cannot read those written words
Or despite their efforts can't believe?
Should our future forever be
Throwing caution to the wind?
To wish to wake again
And hope that love will always win?
So if you don't want to make a change
But you think the world is getting strange
When you're six feet under, don't complain
'Cause there's always someone else to blame
Jenna's Song
Dear Jenna, it's been so long
Re-read the letter that you wrote two years ago
Wish you could know the difference that you make
In the world even long after you're gone
If the souls you touched
Could light the sky
The stars would shine for you
Someday I'll join the lights up there too
Wish I could show you the things that I have done
I think that you'd be proud of who I have become
I have been scarred ever since I heard the news
But now I know through memories, you still live on
If the souls you touched
Could light the sky
The stars would shine for you
Someday I'll join the lights up there too
Oh, I hope someday
I'll get to see you once again
I can only hope until then

Leaving Home
Leaving home, it isn't easy
I'm gonna miss this place I know
Pack my bags to leave tomorrow morning
Say goodbye to all the ones I love
Leaving home, it isn't easy
To leave behind the life I know
Head towards an unseeable future
But now's my time to go ~
