THE ONE

I sit here and I wonder
Why you can't be happy, you're so miserable inside
What'cha gonna say this time to try and bring me down
Get me all caught up in your drama again

Let me be The One to say goodbye this time
Let me be The One to say goodbye
Let me be The One to take the ride this time
Let me be The One to say goodbye

I know you don't remember
When you used to tell me that you'd always be around
Well I think I'll go and get myself another drink, I need some time to
Think about the reason why I should be around

Now I don't care 'bout what you're feelin',
What your deal is, how you're livin'
I don't care, it's time for me to go

Let me be The One to say goodbye this time
Let me be The One to say goodbye
Let me be The One to make you cry this time
Let me be The One to say goodbye

It's mine, if I suffer it's me,
It's time, it's time

Let me be the one to say goodbye
Let me be the one to make you cry

Let me be The One to say goodbye this time
Let me be The One to say goodbye
Let me be The One to take the ride this time
Let me be The One to say goodbye

Let me be The One to kick your ass
Let me be The One to make you cry
Let me be The One, The One, The One
to say goodbye

YOU

I'm pretty, so pretty, and there's a reason why
It's pretty when you're with me, this feeling deep inside
And I really freak out, when you turn the lights out
And you kiss me in slow motion, oh the way it makes me feel

And I know the reason that I feel the way I do
I know it's true
You

I'm sexy, so sexy, it's the way you touch me
You're sexy, undress me, it's the way you love me
And I really freak out, when you turn the lights out
And you kiss me, it's electric, oh the way it makes me feel

And I know the reason that I feel the way I do
I know it's true
It's You
The way you give it to me
It's You

And I really freak out, when you turn the lights out
And I really freak out, and it's all the way you give it to me

It's you, the way you give it to me
It's you, come on and give it to me
It's you, come on and give it to me
It's you

And I really freak out
When you turn the lights out
And I really freak out
It's you

You look right in my eyes and you tell me it's true
Stop listening to lies, it's inside of you

Time keeps ticking away
Don't know why I can't be with you today
There's a fire burning inside of me
My Desire, will I ever be free?

Maybe it's not far away, it just might happen to be today
Or maybe it's tomorrow
Sometimes, inside, well it comes and then it goes
and the voices never tell me what they know

You look right in my eyes and you tell me it's true
Stop listening to lies, it's inside of you

Time keeps ticking away
Don't know why I can't be with you today
There's a fire burning inside of me
My Desire, will I ever be free?
oh be free

You look right in my eyes and you tell me it's true
Stop listening to lies, it's inside of you
So I reach for the sky, but I feel like I'm fallin'
Time keeps ticking away
Don't know why I can't be with you today
There's a fire burning inside of me
My Desire, will I ever be free

My Desire, My Desire
My Desire

THE COLD

Just today I was feeling all alone
Couldn’t seem to find the motivation
It’s just what happens when there’s something on my mind
I wish it would go away forever

I feel so cold (4x)
(I sometimes feel so cold - 4x)

I get so tired because there’s not that much to see
It’s just a weight upon my shoulders
It’s just enough to make me lose my mind, I’m going blind
Only your love can protect me

I feel so cold (4x)
(I sometimes feel so cold - 4x)

Take me away
Listen to my band play

I had a dream last night and I saw your pale blue eyes
But when I woke the bed was empty
It wasn’t so long ago that I used to hold your hand
But now these nights they are so lonely

I feel so cold (4x)
(I sometimes feel so cold - 4x)

It’s cold , it’s cold , it’s cold
(I sometimes feel so cold - 4x)
(I feel, I feel, I feel)
It’s cold, it’s cold, it’s cold
I sometimes feel so cold

LET ME IN

What do you feel when you're alone in the light?
When all you see are just strangers in the night.
It's all around you just read between the lines on my face.
A cigarette glow shining like a star in space.

When I look in your eyes, can you see my disguise?
When I look in your eyes.
When I'm touching your skin, why won't you let me in?
Why won't you let me in?

What do you need from me tonight to make you smile?
To make you hold me like a lover for awhile.
Stand in the spotlight and see you're not the same as your dream.
Close your eyes and breathe and start to sing
while you scream.

When I look in your eyes, can you see my disguise?
When I look in your eyes.
When I'm touching your skin, why won't you let me in?
Why won't you let me in?
When I give you my love you make me feel all alone.

I take a gamble every time I look into the storm.
Listen to the cosmos
Shooting stars and Gods with no form.
On wings of an angel I take my flight and rise into the sun.

Ahh, Ahhhh...

Let me in.

Let me in.

Let me in.

LOOK INTO THE STORM

It seems such a deception, a dream becomes a lie
Feelin’ like a lost child, and all I do is cry
Still I wait for you, but I can’t see
And I wish my soul could just fly free

Living’s just a sacrifice, the price that I must pay
When will they stop countin’ and let me on my way
Still I don’t know how to say goodbye
And I wish I could just rest and close my eyes

I know that there’s a reason for the night in the sky
Purpose undetermined but something still keeps me alive
But still I see a vision that makes my heart sing out
And so I look into the storm and I ride it out

But sometimes I feel just fine
I take a deep breath and I clear my mind
The breeze in my face, well it brings a tear to my eye
And so I get back in my car and I start to drive

My friends they make me wonder, are they fools or are they free?
I eat but I’m still underfed, I get high so I can see
But I don’t know if I’ll find what I’m lookin’ for
Sometimes it’s hard to make it out the door

I know that there’s a reason for the night in the sky
Purpose undetermined, but something still keeps me alive
But still I see a vision that makes my heart sing out
And so I look into the storm and ride it out

I look into the storm and I ride it out

INVISIBLE PEOPLE

Is it your’s? Is it mine?
Is it a mirror looking at me in my eyes?
Sailing an empty ship, who’s in control?
I feel the burning flame inside the bitter cold

I hear the voices that run screamin’ in my mind
No one remembers me, why can’t they look and see?
Or am I always wrong, a hippocratic song
Does the connection lie far away or deep inside?

I don’t know why, they always try to hurt me
Invisible people in my mind

Ride the wave, feel the flow
Wonder if it takes me to the place I want to go
My liberation there, is it just a lie?
Am I flying in a deeply jaded sky?

I don’t know why, they always try to hurt me
Invisible people in my mind
Please tell me why, hiding deep inside me
Invisible people in my mind

I don’t know why, they always try to hurt me
Invisible people in my mind
Please tell me why, hiding deep inside me
Invisible people in my mind

RAGE AND CONFUSION

I keep on talking, keep on looking,
keep on wondering why.
I keep on thinking 'bout the things that I can't change,
but still I try.
It's like a cycle, like a rollercoaster
falling from the sky.
Oh, what I see it isn't real, it isn't me,
Oh, where am I?

And I cry, as I rage against the night.
And I dream, 'cause I don't know what is right.
And I walk away, and I turn around again,
And I wonder why.

Sometimes it hits me in the middle of the night
when I'm dreaming.
I'm looking at myself, I'm turning inside out,
I wake up screaming.
Confusion all around, my bed is turning upside down.
it's breathing.
The ice I feel inside, refrigeration in my mind,
I'm freezing.

And I cry, as I rage against the night.
And I dream, 'cause I don't know what is right.
And I walk away, and I turn around again,
And I wonder why.

Looking in the mirror,
What is it I see?
Two confused and raging eyes staring back at me.
My generation
They say that we're insane.
Lazy ass, nowhere fast, got no future, got no past.

Think I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown - BREAKDOWN!
Think I'm gonna have a nervous breakdown - BREAKDOWN!

And I cry, as I rage against the night.
And I dream, 'cause I don't know what is right.
And I walk away, and I turn around again,
And I wonder why.

And I cry, as I rage against the night.
And I dream, 'cause I don't know what is right.
And I walk away, and I turn around again,
And I wonder why.

And I wonder why...

You don’t know how to sacrifice
It’s all just a sacrifice

I don’t know what to say
I got your letter
it blew me away
You said I don’t care
it’s not fair that you made me cry
When I read your letter

You know you really pissed me off
‘Cause you said that you would give me a call
So, I rang your telephone
And left a nasty message ‘cause you weren’t home
You and your wannabe rock and roll band
Had a good laugh at my expense
And now you’re all just past tense
Because of what your letter said

You don’t know how to sacrifice
It’s all just a sacrifice

I don’t know what to say
I got your letter
it blew me away
You said I don’t care
it’s not fair that you made me cry
When I read your letter.

HOW MANY TIMES?

Like wine, smooth and sexy
It’s time you really got to know me
I’m strong
if only you would take a look and see me

How many times do I have to ask?
Do I have to beg down on my knees
How many times do I have to see
you turn and walk away from me?

I’m tired, my eyes are red now
I’ve been thinkin’ much too long
About the way, way you take it from me
And that’s the way it’s gotta be

How many times do I have to ask?
Do I have to beg down on my knees
How many times do I have to see
you turn and walk away from me?

I tried to tell you, but you did not care
I tried to tell you, but you would not listen to me

How many times? How many times?

How many times do I have to ask?
Do I have to beg down on my knees
How many times do I have to see
You turn and walk away from me?

How many times will you walk away from me?
How many times will you walk away from me?
How many times will you walk away from me?

FAITH

Hangin’ out with God in the garden of Eden
Shared an apple and God confessed
Too many people down, it’s time for some destruction
And now it’s raining

Saw my future drivin’ down the road
Saw a stop sign up ahead
Keep trying to find my way, find my way, find my way
I guess I’ll get there when I’m dead

Don’t take me, don’t rape me
Don’t take me, don’t rape me

God sat down and said it’s not too late to call him
Take a number get in line
I’ll have my lawyer call and we’ll work out an arrangement
I’ll try to get there if I have the time

Don’t take me, don’t rape me
Don’t take me, don’t rape me

You were the one to make me whole
You are the one who took my soul

Don’t take me, don’t rape me
Don’t take me, don’t rape me

Don’t rape me, don’t rape me, don’t rape me, don’t rape me
No, no, no, no

Am I dreamer, or am I a fool?
But I dream of a place where the children live in truth
An age of reflection, a past far behind
And everyday would be this dream of mine
Be this dream of mine

I wish there was a place
Where all the beautiful things could never die
No anger or pain on my face
And no reason to keep wondering why

Am I dreamer, or am I a fool?
But I dream of a place where the children live in truth
An age of reflection a past far behind
And everyday would be this dream of mine
Be this dream of mine

And I believe in the possibility
That there’s a special place that’s meant for you and me
It seems quite clear, that the world’s filled with hatred and fear
It’s a shackle on all of our souls and I wish we were free
The key to release us is love
It comes from within and up above
Please come and join me in the world that I’m dreaming of

Tell me am I a dreamer, or am I a fool?
But I dream of a place where the children live in truth
An age of reflection a past far behind
And everyday would be this dream of mine

Well am I a dreamer, tell me am I a fool?
But I dream of a place where the children live in truth
An age of reflection, a past far behind
And everyday would be this dream of mine

Be this dream of mine
