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 ~
