Is It Me 02:22
Is it me anymore won’t you tell me / If I’m losing control would you let me know / If I’m holding too tightly or letting go / Would you let me know / Time will go by / And you wish that it wouldn’t / As you face the mirror one more time / A loud siren went off today about noon / And I wondered if you were still in tune / And alive in your heart not afraid to carry on / Even if it killed you / Even if it killed you / Time will go by / Like a fence around perfection / Holding you back / Holding you back / Are you there anymore / Won’t you show me / Is your happiness now / Where you wanted to be / Have you lost all your dreams to reality / Are you giving up all that you could be / And I tell you that I want to fly / And you hesitate and think / While you do I lose time and the moment / And with the wait / My feet may never leave the ground
2.
Long Ago 03:28
I could be gone in the blink of a moment / I won’t be here ‘cause I can’t seem to try like I did / A wha oh / ‘cause life beats you down and will take all the good parts / Leave you the rest but they don’t even work anymore / I found out long ago / And it’s so bad being here alone with the best I never had / I can’t believe it but it takes that to see it, I know / So… My world could change in the blink of a moment / Life rearranged due to someone’s emotion again, oh no / Time dumbs you down and tramples your soul / People you love turn away when you need them the most I found out long ago / And it’s so bad being here alone / With the best I never had / I can’t believe it but it takes that to see it, I know / Reach through the darkness and flip the light / Hope against hope that it’ll be alright ‘cause love is the answer / I can’t believe it but it takes that to see it, I know / So… Won’t you come here and I’ll take what you’re giving / I’ll beat back emotion and live an illusion again / That I found out long ago / And it’s so bad being here alone / With the best I never had I can’t believe it but it takes that to see it, I know / Reach through the darkness and flip the light / Hope against hope that it’ll be alright / Hard to attain what’ll make it right / If you lift up your aim you’ll see the light ‘cause love is the answer

Colors 03:39
Grass green grass / Sky blue sky / Plane silver plane / Car red car... 2, 3, 4 / Memories of where you been / Memories of who you lost / Colors coming over me / Colors coming over me / Letter grey letter / Screen black screen / Noise white noise / Pain yellow train... 2, 3, 4 / Memories of where you been / Memories of who you lost / Colors coming over me / I can’t pay the cost / Memories of who you been / Memories of what you’ve lost / Colors coming over me and I can’t pay the cost / No, no I can’t pay the cost / Green grass / The Blue sky / The white noise / The grey soul / Memories of where you been / Memories of who you lost / Colors coming over me and I can’t pay the cost / Memories coming over me / Memories of what you lost / Colors come over me / I can’t pay the cost / No, I can’t pay the cost / I can’t pay the cost... 2, 3, 4

Hate this world and I want to die / Can’t see a thing with you in my light / I need so much feel I’m gonna explode / Feel I’m gonna explode / Can’t make sense can’t decide you ease my mind with a bunch of lies / I wanna believe but my heart sees right / My heart sees right / So let it end, Let me out / I know it won’t be easy but I feel it’ll be better in the end / Oh my God what am I to do / I lost the fight now I’m losing you / Liars and thieves keep coming up true / They’re coming up true / So let it end, Let me out / I know it won’t be easy but I feel it’ll be better in the end / When you gonna find a way to live here / When you gonna find your way back home / I wanna know before I go and do something I’d regret / I know that you keep saying that it’s all inside my head / Hate this world and I want to die / Can’t see a thing with you in my light / I need so much feel I’m gonna explode with the more I know / So let it end, Let me out / I know it won’t be easy but I feel it’ll be better in the end / So let it end, Let me out / I know it won’t be easy but I feel it’ll be better in the end / Yes in know it’ll be better… in the end

Cowboy Jim 03:24
It’s been a long time coming / I got put in my place / The news of my demise is spreading judgment day / I try and get around it and find my way / Well we all make mistakes / I believe it’ll be ok / Cowboy Jim & his tiger cub here in the jungle with me / And he’s making me laugh / We’re drinking and healing, the truth will set you free / Her big blue eyes saw right through me / A girl like that can lift you up and let you down so beautifully / I’m in a downward spiral, I don’t like me this way / So I’m off to Guatemala, gotta get my head on straight / Cowboy Jim & his tiger cub here in the jungle with me / And he’s making me laugh / We’re drinking and healing, the truth will set you free / The truth will set you free / Pilled up all our troubles and we made a bonfire / And we prayed for some forgiveness / And we watched the flames go higher / It’s been a long time coming / Best be getting back home / The wheels of my rebuilding are turning / I’ve got to go grow / If I look you up / Put it far behind / We all should forgive ‘cause we’re all gonna die / Cowboy Jim & his tiger cub here in the jungle with me / And he’s making me laugh / We’re drinking and healing, the truth will set you free / Tired of living inside a bubble where the pain it burns my eyes / Let all the bad feelings die, it’s gonna be all alright / Tonight tonight

Don’t chase your tail again sweet girl / These are the best times in your little world / Tiny great big problems seem impossible to face / But with a little faith / Nothing is impossible / Don’t bet your life upon a star / You’re bound to get there from no matter where you are / Little twists of fate can seem so difficult to take / But with a little faith nothing is impossible / How can you do what you’ve never done / Who is to say that you’re not the one / Don’t worry that we’re writing in the sand / These waves take our wishes with them / And send them back to us as plans / And nothing in this world could ever / Wash away your curious mind / But with a little faith nothing is impossible
7.
Here come the birds singing again / As another world comes to an end / A beautiful girl is like a sunset for someone to wish for / Someone else to regret / Hello the end I know you’re coming / You’re my truest friend / Hello the end I embrace you / You always come through for me / You’ve been faithful, I’ll be faithful to you / Another season sky shimmering blue / Out with the old in with the new / A beautiful day, cherry trees blossoming / Soon they will fall and scatter the ground / Hello the end I know you’re coming / You’re my truest friend / Hello the end I embrace you / You always come through for me / You’ve been faithful, I’ll be faithful to you / Now I take your hand / Give you a soft place to fall / And run your course / When you are ready / I know the time will come and I’ll be ready when you call / Hello the end, I know you’re coming / You’re my truest friend / Hello the end I embrace you / You always come through for me, you’ve been faithful / I’ll be faithful to you

Vegas 03:21
My head was spinning like a top / The Dog was looking at me waiting for something / Gave him some food / Went for a walk / Now we’re back and he’s still staring / No wait he just stopped / Excuse me Las Vegas / I’m in such pain / Can’t get up for falling down again / Vegas, Las Vegas / I gotta waste away in your arms / Gonna try my luck / Gonna spin the wheel / Yeah those lights are so beautiful / He was a bad man / Yeah he was a thug / In the midst of my transformation he pulled out the rug / Took all my winnings / And he beat me up / And all I did was ask how much his girlfriend cost / Excuse me Mr. Vegas I’m in such a bind / Can’t get up for falling down this time / Vegas, Las Vegas / Gotta waste away in your arms / Gonna try my luck / Gonna spin the wheel / Those lights are so beautiful / Took my last dollar / Took a spin / You don’t know the shape I’m in / Put all I had out on the line / What do ya know I was a winner this time / Vegas, Las Vegas / Gotta waste away in your arms / Gonna try my luck / Gonna spin the wheel / Those lights are so beautiful

Marie 04:23
Tell me where is God / Hear me calling / What’s your favorite song / To stop the bleeding / Tell me, won’t you please / I’m down on my knees / Give me the answer / What is all this noise / Spinning in my head / All forgotten dreams / That will burn out when you’re dead / Killing future lives / The mirror hurts your eyes / Give me an answer please / It’s getting harder now / Please don’t let me down Marie / Gonna hit the wall / Stone cold wonderful Marie / Numb yourself with drink / Body is shutting down / Feel ridiculous / Like some broken hearted clown / Gonna crash and burn / I can’t see the curve / This wounded bliss I miss / It’s you I can’t resist / It’s getting harder now / Please don’t let me down Marie / Gonna hit the wall / Stone cold wonderful Marie / It’s getting harder now / Please don’t let me down Marie / Gonna hit a wall / Stone cold wonderful Marie / Marie, help me / I feel I’m falling down / On fire, on fire, on fire

Who Knows 03:53
I wanna shave my head and go to bed and then I’ll be alright / I wanna dress up like my mom and walk around town and then I’ll be alright / I need a change of air and some spray in my hair / I need to keep it all fresh like I’m walking in a movie / Need a different life away / Where I won’t bother you with me / And I don’t know if I’m headed for home / But I can’t go / Where there’s no room to grow / Who knows… who knows… who knows / I need nothing to do I wanna sing to you and then I’ll be alright / I need live those dreams that left a bad feeling in my stomach / I need to walk on ice and never think twice / I need to follow my feeling like a bug to a light / I need to take my chance today / Or my life will never be mine / And I don’t know If I’m headed for home / But I can’t go where there’s no room to grow / Who knows… who knows… who knows / Lying awake you’re never getting off my mind / Lying awake you’re never getting off my mind / For a long long time / I wanna shave my head and go to bed and then I’ll be alright / I wanna live those dreams that left a bad feeling in my stomach / I wanna to walk on ice and never think twice and follow my feeling like a bug to a light / I need to take my chance today / Or my life will never be mine / And I don’t know If I’m headed for home / But I can’t go where there’s no room to grow / Who knows… who knows… who knows
11.
Sun come up and I’m so tired / I’d like to sleep but I can’t come down / Call you up but I don’t want to / So I close my eyes and forget you / I don’t need you anymore / I’m gonna close the door / I don’t need you anymore at all / The sky is black and I’m so blue / can’t get away from my own head even if I wanted to / Send an e-mail but I don’t want to / So I close my eyes and forget you / I don’t need you anymore / I’m gonna close the door / I don’t need you anymore at all / So give me time / Give me my space / To get you outta my blood but it goes so slow / I know where to find you / But I don’t want to / So I close my eyes and forget you / I don’t need you anymore / I’m gonna close the door / I don’t need you anymore at all / I don’t need you anymore / I’m gonna close the door / I don’t need you anymore at all
