Undone 03:20
UNDONE And I try to hide The feelings that for so long I’ve kept bottled up inside So no one will see that I’ve become Undone And I lose myself A little more each day Thoughts so unforgiving My head is spinning But no one seems to notice I’ve become Undone Don’t cry, be strong And I tell myself these things And to carry on Or someone might see that I’ve become Undone

SHE CAME TO LEAVE You left alone, returned the same You were my best friend, but not that day The tears all disappeared and dried, so did my fears But I still wonder where they’ve gone The days, the months, and the years And yes, I wonder where you are and all you do My life seemed empty then, you know, without you But you always knew life was just a dream So dream and dream and you’ll be free Yeah, dream and dream and you’ll be free Yeah, dream and dream until you’re free You came to see me when I was alone And knew where you’d gone I couldn’t go You came to say goodbye to me You came, you came, you came to leave And as I watch the sun come down On life and love all around One thing I thought I’d never see You came, you came, you came to leave And with the slow shut of my eyes My mind is open for the very first time You left alone, returned the same You were my best friend, but not that day The tears all disappeared and dried, so did my fears You came to see me when I was alone And knew where you’d gone I couldn’t go You came to say goodbye to me You came, you came, you came to leave You came, you came, you came to leave You came, you came, you came to leave

QUIET DESPERATION They come at night, they come while you’re sleeping tight And in your dreams, so real it seems They get in your head, take over your mind You can’t run away, and you can’t hide from them You walk through this life alone, thinking nobody cares The ghosts haunt your soul, and demons you fear As dark as the light that isn’t there Only light is the darkness that fills the air But I hope and I pray that someday things are gonna change ‘Cause I know that today you might never find your way So I hope and I pray that someone is gonna save you from yourself They say nobody loves you when you’re down and out Of your mind, of control, now you’re running out of time Tomorrow has gone away and yesterday never came What would you have to say if this was your last day But I pray that someday things are gonna change ‘Cause I know that today you might never find your way So I hope and I pray that someone is gonna save you from yourself So sad to see you go, oh no And though you told me why, I don’t think I’ll ever know Depression fills the air, despair swells in my eyes Please God help me, ‘cause I’m buried alive But I hope and I pray that someday things are gonna change ‘Cause I know that today you might never find your way So I hope and I pray that someone is gonna save you from yourself

ARTIST DROWNING Can you hear the voices, can you hear them calling out Can you hear the voices, can you hear them ringing out I can hear the voices, I can hear them screaming now Gotta stop the voices, gotta get ‘em out, somehow Now I’ll be the only one who won’t see the sun going down How am I the only one who’s never gonna see the sun As I am going down, as I am going down What is it I’m supposed to do, I’m supposed to see I know I’m barely moving but somehow I’m losing ground Maybe I’m just dreaming or left something out Hurts so bad there must be some way out What is it I’m supposed to do, I’m supposed to see What is it I’m supposed to do, I’m supposed to see, ‘cause I can’t see What is it I’m supposed to do, I’m supposed to be I can’t shake the feeling, it’s kinda like I’m freezing now, it’s so cold I can barely breathe and I, I just wanna scream out loud Hurts so bad, I just want it over now As I am going down, as I am going down What is it I’m supposed to do, I’m supposed to see, ‘cause I can’t see What is it I’m supposed to do, I just can’t see
6.
JUST PASSING THROUGH Have you ever wondered what it meant or how it was a life spent Was such a blur because you never took the time or heard that you Were passing through It’s funny all the people that you see upon the street You hardly ever took the time to get to know or even meet ‘cause you Were passing through Well, I’m just passing by Don’t know what’s happened or why I’m passing through They say it’s lonely at the top, it’s just the same if you’re not It seems so close and yet so far away, here and there and everywhere Feels like nowhere I’ve got a long road ahead of many things that can’t be said And memories I’ll leave behind, but can you leave the past behind you You’re passing too And I’m just passing by Don’t know what’s happened or why I’m passing through I’ve heard that when you say goodbye your life will flash before your eyes It may take seconds, may take years to pass away your whole life’s fears Oh, in tears So, maybe I’m ahead of it, or maybe I’m a head trip Either way, don’t know if I ever took the time to say to you I love you ‘Cause I’m just passing by Don’t know what’s happened or why I’m passing through Yeah I’m just passing by Don’t know what’s happened or why I’m passing through
7.
TRUTH IN LIES And you sing the same old song, on and on all day long And I wonder what it means, do you really think you’re free When the truth comes out in lies, I can see it in your eyes The things you want to hide from me And we play the same old games, on and on every day And you wonder why we are never getting very far When the truth comes out in lies, I can see it in your eyes The things you want to hide from me All those things that you said Meant so much in your own head Yeah, meant so much in your own head But now I know and now I see All the lies that you sold to me Now the truth comes out in lies, I can see it in your eyes The things you tried to hide from me Hide from me, but now I’m free
8.
GOD, ANGLES & THE UNIVERSE Dear God, Angels, and The Universe Are you listening, have you heard my pleas I’m down upon my knees and begging please Does anybody feel the way I do I’m lost inside, don’t know if I can make it through Do you feel the way I do All my life, been waiting for something inside Something that’ll take my fears And make ‘em disappear ‘Cause I can’t help but feel the way I do I’m lost inside, don’t know if I can make it through Do you feel the way I do Oh, does anybody feel the way I do Lost inside, it’s true Will we ever make it through
9.
DRIVING HOME IN REVERSE Driving in the rain doesn’t have to feel the same As walking home all by yourself They saw you there in pain, and told you you were saved But they’re just the same as everybody else So, I’ll drive home, I’ll drive home They want you to believe you have to be just like the rest You couldn’t agree more, but I couldn’t care any less So, I’ll drive home, I’ll drive home, I’ll drive home in reverse Yeah, I’ll drive home, I’ll drive home, I’ll drive home in reverse Who made you king of all, to judge is not your calling This world’s not yours to rule or curse We’re different but the same, just trying to find a way Tell me now, what could it hurt if I drive home in reverse I’ll drive home, I’ll drive home, I’ll drive home in reverse Yeah, I’ll drive home, I’ll drive home, I’ll drive home in reverse
10.
IN LOVING MEMORY Bad news today I thought I’d have more time to say A thank you here, a love you there Maybe it’s true life’s just not fair Hard times ahead Some things are better left unsaid Sometimes the colors will bleed Somehow the memories will fade But I’ve no such excuse I guess I just lost track of life But now we’re both set free I’ll live my life and you’ll live on . . . In loving memory
11.
Wonder Why 02:36
WONDER WHY Wonder why you and I can’t tell ourselves from the crowd Wonder why you and I can’t seem to get around this cloud Ain’t it strange, we don’t talk about it Ain’t it strange, we can’t live without Wonder why all the things that I say seem to drift up towards the sky And I wonder why you don’t seem to care at all about the tears I’ve cried for you Ain’t it strange, we don’t talk about it Ain’t it strange, we can’t live without Wonder why I don’t know what you think, you don’t know how I feel We don’t know who we are or what is real What is real
12.
NOT MINE OR YOURS Yesterday was just a dream Tomorrow’s just a mystery You want it back, but you can’t No, you can’t hold on to your past You gotta let it go It’s not mine or . . . Hateful words we didn’t mean But things aren’t always what they seem Can’t take it back, we can’t erase And tomorrow might be too late Can we let it go, these scars are They’re not mine or yours Not mine or, not mine or . . . I’m still here, I’m not afraid And I am not your yesterday There’s nothing left for us to say We’re just trying to find a way To let it go, this life torn It’s not mine or yours Not mine or yours Not mine or yours
13.
RUNNING OUT OF TIME Once upon a time of mine I looked up to you, so divine I held on every word you said, and you knew everything in my head You looked into my sad eyes, told me everything would be fine And I believed that we could be anything that we want to be But I never thought that we might be running out of time Then somehow things seemed to change, and you and I went separate ways You turned your back and I turned mine, never knowing at the time How did it get to be so hard, who knew that love could tear apart Seems that all we’re trying to find is just a little peace of mind Why is it always hard to find, ‘cause we’re running out of time Now we’re here once again, it’s getting closer to the end I turn to you, you’re almost gone, you said that you knew all along I look into your sad eyes, tell you everything will be fine I still believe that we can be anything that we want to be Doesn’t matter much to me that we’re running out of time
14.
A LONG GOODBYE Looking through old photographs and all the things they’ve seen Memories of times gone by and all the things we’ve been Now, maybe it’s time for us to discover one another Put our trust in each other Maybe then we’ll see what it is to be free Reading old letters from a time long since past Looking through things on the the shelves, guess it’s time to ask If maybe it’s time for us to discover one another Put our trust in each other Maybe then we’ll see what it is to be free Now we’re sitting side by side, we hold hands, not cry We both know it’s been so long, it’s time to move on But I know that we have discovered one another Put our trust in each other And I know we’ve seen what it is to be free
15.
LET'S HOPE THIS NEVER ENDS With you by my side, it seems I’m free to dream With you by my side, it seems an ending to pretending My friends, my friends, let’s hope this never ends My friends, my friends, let’s hope this never ends If we’re side by side, we’ll see what it means to be free If we’re side by side, then just between you and me, my friends My friends, my friends, let’s hope this never ends My friends, my friends, let’s hope this never ends Never, never, I hope this never ends Never, never, I hope this never ends I hope this never ends Never, ever, I hope this never ends
16.
Someday 02:18
SOMEDAY Guess it’s my time now, to be taken away But it’s your time now, to live another day I sometimes don’t know what to say and don’t know what to do So I’ll sit and watch the days drift away with you Would you still remember me, if I didn’t look the same Would you give up all tomorrows, if you could take back yesterday Guess it’s our time now, to go our separate ways And I hope, somehow, we’ll meet again someday Someday Someday
17.
Sweet Dreams 02:29
SWEET DREAMS Was this life all you had hoped it’d be Did you do and say all the things you need Sweet Dreams Where did all the time go How did we get here I guess the days became months The months turned to years Sweet Dreams I love you, goodnight, sweet dreams, sleep tight I love you, goodnight, sweet dreams, sleep tight I love you, goodnight, sweet dreams, sleep tight I love you, goodnight, sweet dreams, sleep tight

Until Then (free) 03:05
UNTIL THEN Woke up Tuesday, everything seemed okay I woke up Tuesday, it just seemed like any other day Woke up Tuesday, didn’t know where you were I woke up Tuesday, the news I hadn’t yet heard I dropped the phone to the floor and held my head Life was just getting started Until then I thought I must be dreaming, grabbed a pack of smokes And then I ran out screaming, on the tears I . . . Could you be somewhere, even if you weren’t And why can’t anybody tell me what this life is worth I’m not much for goodbyes, I won’t pretend So I’ll just let you go and say Until then Until then Until then Until then
