1. Erase the Slate
Contradiction it's an expedition into darkness
Aggravation is the inspiration into madness
Soon the day will come when all the world will finally see
It's a matter of time / the sand will run out
Waiting for the rising sun
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
My religion is a mind condition as it turns out
Hesitating while my soul sits waiting through my blackout
Soon the day will come down when I'll reflect on all those years
My perfect world / sublime and surreal
Waiting for the rising sun
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Time and time remember when
Life forgave my call
Too much pride / could not repent
Can't escape at all
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
And start again
Erase the Slate[Erase the Slate]
Erase the Slate
And start all over again
Erase the Slate
2. Little Girl
Mother never told you
That's all right
Don't you cry
Now the visions dance inside your head
What was said?
Go to bed
What have you done
Done to yourself?
What will you do
If I just leave you alone inside little girl?
No where to run
No where to hide except inside little girl
In the tapestries with faded clowns
All year 'round
Bringing you down
Trying to escape in your own ways
Not today
How can you see with your head in the clouds?
What will you do
If I just leave you alone inside little girl?
No where to run
No where to hide except inside little girl
You carry the weight of the world
No one expects you to bear that burden
If you can let it all go
Even the daze will seem so much brighter
Every night holds a surprise for you
3. Change the World
Talk to me 'bout fantasy
You talk to me 'bout love
You filled me with empty promises
You promised sky above
You ask me what I'd do for you
Give my life and more
But would it keep you satisfied
Baby I'm not sure
I change myself most everyday
But you don't reply
The things you want the most of me
How can we survive
I can't Change the World
If I tried would it make you happy
I can't Change the World
This time
I can't Change the World
From soft lips you speak to me
How's it gonna be
Everyday's a different story
Changing all the time
You come to me with promises
I listen as you speak
But the promise that you want the most
Is not for me to keep
You leave me on this withered vine / now
Stripped away and torn
Left with only fantasy
Dreams of nevermore
I can't Change the World
If I tried would it make you happy
This timeI can't Change the World
Never said that I held the answers
I can't Change the World
I'd give my spirit if you tried
A fortune lost a heart denied
I come to you in your sleep
My heart is yours for only you to keep
And when the days they pass me you will see
I can't Change the World
If I tried would it make you happy
I can't Change the World
This time
I can't Change the World
I never said I held the answers
I can't Change the World
This time
I can't Change the World
Change the world
4. Its Not Love (Unplugged)
Told you I had to leave, I had my reasons
I said that it hurt to stay, the way that I'm feelin'
It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take
Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why did you have to hold on
You know it's not love anymore
Gave you your last chance but you didn't believe me
You can't keep me satisfied, the way that you treat me
It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take
Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why, stop playing with my heart
I told you
It's not love
Telling you to be this way
It's not love
Sayin' you can never change
It's not love
When I told you
Is he putting you down
Down, down, down
5. Maddest Hatter
Talking to my rabbit friend he seems so bright indeed
A conversation over tea
Then he told me / I'm standing all alone
There's a crowd of people eating at my throne
Is it just me / is it just you
Or is it everyone
I want the ordinary life
When the sky is dark I feel like it's light
I want the ordinary life
I must confess / I'm the Maddest Hatter
Of them all
And it's so contrary that I know I shouldn't
Watch the rainbows circle my friend Mary
I wish that I could fly so I can see much more
I wish that I could see things
Like the others do
If it's just me / then it's just you
I'm not the only one
I want the ordinary life
When the sky is dark I feel like it's light
I want the ordinary life
I must confess / I'm the Maddest Hatter
Of them all
I want the ordinary
I wanna be with my friend Mary
I want the ordinary life
When the sky is dark I feel like it's light
I want the ordinary life
I must confess / I'm the Maddest Hatter
Of them all
I want the ordinary life
When the sky is dark I feel like it's light
I want the ordinary life
I must confess / I'm the Maddest Hatter
Of them all
6. Goodbye My Friend
I tried to say, didn't love you, or need you
Tried to believe didn't want you too
Same old song, we try to hold on
Still in the end we try to move on
So goodbye my friend
It was good to get to see you again
If this is the end
Please don't try and make me love you again
Tried to believe had an answer too
Wasn't just me that believed in you
As I look back I see what you knew
It's better for me, it's better for you
So good bye my friend
It was good to get to see you again
If this is the end
Please don't try and make me love you again
I was wrong to carry on
Still in the end we try to move on
So goodbye my friend
It was good to get to see you again
If this is the end
Please don't try and make me love you again
if this is the end ..........
7. Breaking the Chains (Live)
Sit there thinkin'
In your room
You feel the pressure
You're goin' crazy too
The walls around you
Closin' in
You need a change
Claustophobic
Feelin' scared
You need somebody
But no one seems to care
A one way ticket
A change of pace
You've had enough
Can't take no more
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains
Got this letter
Came today
From my baby
Who left me yesterday
Said she loves
She'll come back
She wants to try
I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than somethin' I'll regret
She's been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
Twenty times a year
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Woke up today
I'm alone
I look around
But baby you were gone
But I don't mind
And I don't worry
I will survive
I'm alone
Now that you're gone
Don't need nobody
To hold or tie me down
I broke the chains
So let me be
I've gotta be free
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
8. Alone Again (Live)
I'd like to see you in the morning light
I like to feel you when it comes to night
Now I'm here and I'm all alone
Still I know how it feels, I'm alone again
Tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you
I said stay, but you turned away
Tried to say that it was me
Now I'm here and I've lost my way
Still I know how it feels, I'm alone again
Tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
I tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
9. Puppet on A String
Why do you -- Invade me
I beg you -- don't leave me
Don't trust you -- don't trust me
I stand here -- benignly
What is inside that's pushing me
We're all a puppet on a string
This wooden world is just like me
We're all puppets on a string -- on a string
I hurt you -- you killed me
I love you -- you hated me
You gave in -- it thrilled me
You sex was -- fulfilling
What is inside that's pushing me
Like a puppet on a string
This wooden world is just like me
We're all puppets on a string -- on a string
I hurt you -- you tortured me
I love you -- you hated me
You gave in -- it thrilled me
Your sex was fulfilling
I hurt you -- you cut me
Your painful emission of how you felt
How you felt -- how you felt
My ego -- could not take
What is inside that's pushing me
Like a puppet on a string
This wooden world is just like me
We're all puppets on a string -- on a string
We're all puppets on a string
You buried me
You buried me on a string
10. Drown
I been left in the crossfire / sacrificed to love and hate
Out of ammunition to regain my mental state
I found myself adrift upon an endless sea
Of lies and bitterness / horizon out of reach
I see the starts that shine / Reflection in the waves
I need to find that distant shore
Before I Drown
Slip beneath the waves and Drown
Takes me to my grave
Of love and heartache / there's got to be a way
That I can save myself before I Drown
Too much conversation can erode our little minds
My emancipation comes with solitude at night
As the world sleeps / I contemplate all that's been done
I profess no innocence / I've held - held that smoking gun
I found myself atop a sea of ocean blue
Cast from a world that left me too
To Drown
Slip beneath the waves and Drown
Takes me to my grave
Of love and heartache / there's got to be a way
That I can save myself before I Drown
I'll Drown
Slip beneath the waves and Drown
Takes me to my grave
And Drown
From the pouring rain
Of love and heartache / there's got to be a way
I can save myself
Save myself Before I Drown
11. Tooth and Nail (Unplugged)
Desperate living- driving me mad
Writings on the wall
Crushed all our hopes and the dreams we once had
Just to watch them fall
Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail
Last generation- reckless and free
Up against the odds
Toughts of revenge are going trough me
Fate lies in the cards
Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail
Desperate living- trying to see
Breaking all the rules
Only the strongs are gonna be free
From a world of fools
Tooth and Nail
Tooth and Nail
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail
12. Sunless Days
You move like fire
You dance like flame
Resurrecting my senses again
Never thought it would end like this
The same as the start of it all
Would someone stop me
My world is spinning
All I want is my day black and white
Can't you see that my heart is bleeding?
Gie me reasons
We live in sunless days
No horizon through the storm
Your love I sailed upon
Like a wind to carry us
Starless night from the ashes came
In a daze felt the world was spinning
I never thought it would end like this
The same as the start of it all
All I know is my world is dreaming
All I want is my day black and white
On a sea full of tears I'm riding no horizon
You are so far away
Getting closer
We live in sunless days
No horizon through the storm
Your love I sailed upon
Like a wind to carry us
We live in starless nights
Upon an ocean full of tours
Searching for the day you will return
13. Unchain the Night (Live)
I've been lost in the middle
Always trying to find the wishing well
Running around in circles
Never crossing the line
Don't want to touch you
Don't want to see
You've got a knife in your heart
Don't say that you did it for me
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is gone
Never unchain the night
Cause there's always another turn
You know right where you want it
But you never gave it in return
Running me in circles
Always crossing the line
Don't want to touch you
Leave you confused
You took the easy way out
When you looked through the eyes of a fool
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is strong
Never unchain the night
Cause there's always another turn
Never, never
Never, never
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is gone
Never unchain the night
I'm never gonna set you free
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is gone
Never unchain the night
Cause there's always another turn
Never unchain the night
14. Escape
15. Crazy Mary Goes Around
There's a girl next door with a leather coat
And she looks pretty good to me
My friends all say that you better watch out
There's a side of her you haven't seen
Still I took a ride / it was late at night
We were cruising along on her motorbike
Everything was right / til Crazy Mary went down
So let me tell you about Mary
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round
Let me tell you about Mary
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round and round
Round and round
Called my doctor and I tried to explain
Cuz it didn't make sense to me
Seven different sides and I've seen them all
One for everyday of the week
She gave me a scare / she was combing her hair
A long conversation there was nobody there
Does anybody know / what Mary's talking about
So let me tell you about Mary
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round
Let me tell you about Mary
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round
So let me tell you about Mary
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round and round
Round and round
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round
Funny thing about Mary
[Mary] Crazy Mary Goes Round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Upside down
16. In My Dreams (Live)
Toss and turn all night in the sheets
I can't sleep
Night after night don't know what it means
In my dreams
What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
Calling your name, but you're turning away
Please don't leave
Running in circles, waiting to see you
In my dreams
What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you'll always be
In my heart and in my dreams
In my dreams--it's still the same
In my dreams--you're still by me
In my dreams--just the way it used to be
In my dreams--what can I say
In my dreams--You're still by me
And in my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--your love is strong
In my dreams--You're still the same
In my dreams
17. Into the Fire (Unplugged)
You weave your spell
Your eyes beckon me
Your lips they speak, lies and misery
I know it's wrong, but I can't turn away
The flames draw near, they're telling me to stay
(Into the fire) I'm falling
(Into the fire) I'm falling
Into the fire
Your love burns bright, and yet the flames are cold
This time I fear, you won't be back no more
When will it end, your love consumes my soul
Into the fire, I'm being tempted once more
(Into the fire) I'm falling
(Into the fire) I'm falling
Into the fire
Take me back whera I came back
Don't wanna see your face no more
You broke my heart, now it's not the same
I'm falling, again
I'm falling, again
Into the fire
