1. Goodfellas
Every day is a nightmare
With every night there lies a dream...
These faces are fading away with every word
Every word you say
Now what is it that you really want?
That you're looking for?
Bow down and pray
And never to obey
What's the question?
What's the answer?
It can't save you
They want power, we want respect
Live by your own words & your own dreams
Never break this oath
Don't let them tell you what to do
And never how to think
Now what is it that you really want?
That you're looking for?
Now you know the question &you know the answer
You get what you fucking deserve
They want power, we want respect
Make the best of what you got
Make the best of what you are
2. For Each Remembered Name
There is a list of names
All written in a book
I know that every year I take a look
These names are a part
Not of the book they're written in
But in my very heart
My life is so much better than it was before you came
Once you've known someone the years cannot erase
The memory of a pleasant world
Or of a friendly face
When I send out my love that's addressed to you
Cause you're on the list of names
I am indebted to
When I send out my love that's addressed to you
Cause I have a list of names
And I included you
It's only the thought that counts (The thought that counts)
Every year I realize
The biggest gift that God can give
Is knowing people just like you
I feel composed of each remembered name
You may not be aware of feeling quite the same
I feel composed of each remembered name
You may not be aware of feeling quite the same
Whether I've known you many years or few
You will always have a part in shaping the things I do
It's only the thought that counts (The thought that counts)
It's all for you
3. A Grave Mistake
She says I wouldn't understand. She screams "You don't know what it's like!" To cut yourself to live again, to pop some pills to love again.
Sure, I've tried.. But now..
She wakes up crying in her bed all alone. She wakes to find herself. She wakes up crying in her bed all alone. She wakes to find herself to be... all alone.
I'll take your fucking name all the way to the goddamn grave.
Til death do we part..
Sometimes we've got to fall
Learn to stand
Sometimes we've got to fall
Just to learn to love ourselves again
There's more to life than just this...
It was never suppose to be this way, but I still fall for you.
It was never suppose to be this way, how I still fall for you?!
How I still fall for you?!
Bury the past.. there's more to life than just this...
4. Last Call
She dances around with a drink in hand
He walks around with a smoke in hand
She dances around to find the right man
He walks around to find a one night stand
Roses are red, violets are blue
I'll save this last dance just to be with you
I am the man she's looking for
I am her man tonight
It's 2 am and it's time to go
Let me guess you need a ride home
It's 2:01 and it's time to go
Hop in my car & let's hit the road
We're finally here
Your room is upstairs
It's just a one night stand... who really cares?
We're finally here
Your room is upstairs
She leads the way
It's time to play
Gimme some of that sugar, baby!
I feel so good
I feel so bad
I feel so right
I feel so wrong
Good morning, what's her face?
We ended a night (We can't replace)
Gimme some of that sugar, baby!
Gimme some of that sugar, oh yeah!
5. 7861
7861 Blackthorne. They found the body hanging from the ceiling. Once again staring down at a casket... Run far away from the casket.. And don't let me go back inside. Now are you set free?
Now are you set free? That you left us in your cage. Once again something a part of my life dies again, and lives again. What made you decide that the only way is the wrong way? Was it the thought of failure? Or was it the girl? Or was it the drugs that became your friends that night?!
Look at you now! Look what you've done! I can't promise you a rose garden..
Can you see her (This vision with closed eyes) watching you (I'm not ready for this) through her eyes (It's time for the final act) Can you see? Do you believe? Will you save me? (As the curtains close)
Now don't ever hear me wrong. These years have passed me by, and I'm still wondering why? Why a man would take his life? Take his life.. I still love you my friend.
They look at me now. They know what I've done. They can't promise me a rose garden.
Can you see her (This vision with closed eyes) watching you (I'm not ready for this) through her eyes (It's time for the final act) Can you see? Do you believe? Will you save me?
(As the casket closed)
As you struggle within your noose
What was your last thought?
Just cut your rope... You could of been saved...
Just cut your rope!!
6. How the Times Have Changed
Today is the day
When redemption sings to me
For years of doing the devil's work
For years I've tried to find it
Living every second of the hopeless
Learning every minute from the powerless
Through this tunnel, I fear I see the light
I can feel it when I look to the sky
We only see what we want to see...
Give me the chance to prove who I am
I'll never deny there's more to this life
Sometimes things are not what they seem...
I have waited so ling to make this your day
Let this moment be the one what you remember forever
I'm fighting for my life
This may be the last time
What can I do to cure this disaster?
Hard to tell who's wrong or right?
Broken pieces, let's put what we still have left together
Life was so good when you had control
How the times have changed... For you
I am in control
How the times have changed
I am in control... Of my life
It never was yours...
7. Our Last Road
God gave birth to mankind
Mankind gave birth to war
These consequences only helps to make a change
Our weight of existence is growing smaller with every grave mistake
I stay awake....
This was our only fate
This was our last road
One nation under God
Nation undone...We become undone!
This is my only way to get through...
This is my only way
8. The Reason
My love will rise
This was a story that was foretold
By a man, a prophecy
He gave his son to us
Gave his son
He died for our sins to be forgiven
This trust I adore
This trust I need some more (All forget this day)
Today I realize I take everything for granted
Dining at the last supper
Celebrate our togetherness
Knowing of His love and sacrifice
Gave His gifts of faith and remembrance
This trust I adore
This trust I need some more (Punished by destiny)
Today I realize I take everything for granted
You're the reason I fell in love with yesterday
You're the reason I dream tomorrow
You're the reason I live today
You're the reason... I'll always think of you!
9. Being In A Coma Is Hell Carried On
A restless beauty riddled with some bruises and broken bones
A mother can't recognize her only daughter...
Was it really worth it?
So you had these dreams
Just look at what you've done
Don't ever put the key in the ignition
One is too many, a thousand is never enough
Metal against metal
Misfortunate death
Inflicted by consumption of your poison
So you had these dreams
Just look at what you've done
Floating away from me
I can see myself...
Reflection in a mirror
I've tried to run, but you're so far away
Hold your hands closer to feel my heart beating
Hold your hands closer to feel me...
One day you'll see me in the clouds
Watching over you
10. Falling In Love With Cold Hands
As I walk in a room filled with gloom
I don't know what to do
(Suddenly)
Suddenly my life has changed
As another one's been taken
(Is it so?)
I find myself in a daze
As the sorrow grows
(Sorrow grows)
Tomorrow I lay above wandering, wondering!
(I lay alone)
Wondering how come? What if? And why?
Please give them words of comfort
So they may rest in peace...
And I can't stand this bad feeling
Looking at you across the room today
The sun is shining bright outside
And I can't stand to fight
Walking away, walking away today
Blood in hands
My eyes are shut...
Tomorrow I lay alone
Me!!! Just let it be...
11. Glamour of Corruption
What will they bring to our attention today?
They only feed you with what you want to hear...
I'm so sick of turning it on
I just wish that I could turn it off
My eyes are blinded by this glamour of corruption
My ears are deafened by this voice of depression
Is this something you need just to make you feel alive?
Is this your cry for help?
Nobody's listening but yourself...
I heard it all
I hate it all
Why still complain?
In our eyes we have seen what needs changed
You should have seen this coming, cause it already has
Is this something you want just to make you feel alive?
Most of the time I realize that we are better off dead
Better off dead...
