1. Your Life, My Life
Your Life, My Life
Your Life, My Life
Your Life. My Life
Your Life, My Life
What is this, what you say?
Your road to life has been paved
You think you're someone I should adore
Because you say you got your foot in the door
Success to life, isn't a suit or tie
But to you it is the bottom line
Stand back and take a good look at yourself
The friend I once knew is now on the shelf
Repeat Verse 1
Repeat Verse 2
Don't you think it's only fair
To share the feelings we have?
Finding out what's been done
Can't you see your life is no fun
Repeat Verse 2
This is my life, not your life
Repeat
2. Insecurity
All I wanted was the best
All of this was a test
Gave all I had, gave my love
Now you just push and shove
Chorus
You pretend things do work
In the end one is hurt
Put you through the blasting hell
We are EXCEL
I tried so hard to make things last
Now we know we went too fast
Can you see this must halt?
All I know - it's your fault
Chorus
I'm insecure
I'm insecure
I'm insecure
I'm insecure
(Repeat twice)
Repeat Verse 1
Chorus
3. Split Image
You just think you make sense
Just wake up, you're in a dream
Split Image of someone else
Why can't you just be yourself?
Chorus
Split Image - Wake up
Split Image - Wake up
Split Image - Wake up
Split Image - Wake up
Repeat Verse 1
Chorus
Never mind my feelings, you never really cared
So much hatred I can't bear!
Get out of my life, that's all I want!
Now you'll receive personal onslaught
You've got the mind of someone else
Why do you exist? You seem to blame
Never in my mind seem to help
You're not the same, you're back to your own self
4. Never Look Away
Stand up in what you believe in
There is no remorse
Beware of the consequences
To take force
Striving for the fear
It's the only sense
The end people suffer
In the abuse in silence
Your mind obviously has to be the stronger one
Only use the force to your last resort
Take all you've learned and put it all upon
Release the bitterness, but Never Look Away
Never Look Away
Stand up and look proud
Keep your head up high
Never Look Away
5. Wreck Your World
Verse 1
Visions of your love...
Drew me closer, I couldn't get enough
The presence of your hate...
Gave me the dreams, in which I relate
Chorus
You got the right to make up your mind
You're livin' your own free will
But if you start to mess with my head
I'll go in after to kill
Verse 2
Said that you loved me!
Obviously lying - it's easy
That's all I can take
For you now, your life is at stake
Chorus 2
You got the right to make up your mind
You're livin' your own free will
But if you start to mess with my head
I'll go in for the kill
I don't care what I'm in your eyes
Wreck Your World
I don't care what I'm in your eyes
Wreck Your World
6. Social Security
There is something I'd like to say
"Shut up kid, you're in the way"
Check in 9:00 AM, it's time to work
I am the new sales clerk
(Repeat)
Good morning sir, here is your change.
Have a good day (this is a pain!)
What's the use of working this store
When people are such a bore?
I'm treated like a number
What a waste of my summer!
Good morning sir, here is your change
Have a good day (this is a pain!)
Repeat Verse 2
I'm on time - is there something wrong?
I'm working hard and for SO long
Can't you see I'm doing something right?
Yeah, I know, it's inventory time
7. Set Yourself Apart
You're all alone, alienated
Figure your thoughts. Do you make it?
We can too, it's in the heart
Set Yourself Apart!
Figurize your views, do you really
Or is it just security?
We can too, it's in the heart
Set Yourself Apart!
Listen ... to yourself
8. The Joke's On You
The Joke's On You!
The Joke's On You!
The Joke's On You!
The Joke's On You!
It all started when I went to school
You were playing me as the fool
I laugh
We laugh
I laugh ... at you!
Screaming at me, you're wasting my time
Your opinion is not worth a dime
I've been waiting for this day so long
That's why I'm writing this song
I laugh
We laugh
I laugh... at you!
Because The Joke's On You!
9. Looking For You
First pretend that you care
Then you turn and declare
That you're not with me
Where does that lead thee?
You became my enemy
How can I stand free
Your clone is so cruel
Now I'm Looking For You
Chorus
Looking For You!
Looking For You!
Looking For You!
Looking For You!
Repeat Verse 1
Why must you have to change?
You are what they say
My heart is no fool
Now I'm Looking For You
10. Spare The Pain
I don't know what it is
Inside me it takes the grip
Never letting go, it plays its game
Scrambling your mind, you're now trained
I try to stop it but!
It won't go away, I'm in its rut
God! Please try to spare me!
Take my soul and set it free
It won't leave me be
How can you set it free?
Please help me Lord
Spare my life, pull up on the cord
Give me the chance to live
The chance that I dreamt
The chance to give
If I knew for sure
I'd Spare The Pain, that I endured
I pray to God
For His help
What is wrong?
Only He can tell.
(Repeat)
Why can't this just go away?
Is this the reason I have to pay?
What's there to hold me back?
Is this the way to keep intact?
I don't know what's going on
The life of God., please, don't be gone
(Repeat)
