1. Turn the Other Way
I can see in your eyes you’ve been crying
Cause you don’t know what’s going on
Everybody is telling you something
And you don’t know where you belong
There are places in town
Where you don’t wanna go
There are people ‘round here
Who you don’t wanna know
Just give it time oh oh time
Turn and walk the other way
There will come a better day
Life ain’t always what it seems
You will find your golden dreams
I can hear in the words that you’ve spoken
That life ain’t agreeing with you
There are things in your mind
That you can’t seem to find
Cause they’re all new to you
Can’t you see that road
You’ve been riding is turning
Do you know that the rebel
Inside you is burning
Just give it time oh oh time
Turn and walk the other way
There will come a better day
Life ain’t always what it seems
You will find your golden dreams
Well, just give it time, yeah time, time, time, time
Turn and walk the other way
There will come a better day
Life ain’t always what it seems
You will find your golden dreams
Turn and walk the other way
Walk the other way
There will come a better day
There will come a better day
Life ain’t always what it seems
You will find your golden dreams
Walk the other way
2. What Am I
What am I
I don’t need no alibi
Cause I know who I am
And where i stand
Who are you
To tell me what to do
When you are deaf and blind
To humankind
What am I, what am I
Why is it I never seem to fit
The way society wans you to be
Why am I the one you do deny
When you don’t dare to think
Who you might be
What am I, what am I
I’m just a freak of nature singing an old song
Doing you no wrong
I’m just a freak of nature using my wisdom
Living for freedom
Why is it when you can’t identify
You will call me names and play your games
When will you finaly break on through
And take a look inside your foolish pride
What am I, what am I
I’m just a freak of nature singing an old song
Doing you no wrong
I’m just a freak of nature using my wisdom
Living for freedom
What am I, what am I
What am I, what am I
I’m just a freak of nature singing an old song
Doing you no wrong
I’m just a freak of nature using my wisdom
Living for freedom
I’m just a freak of nature singing an old song
Doing you no wrong
I’m just a freak of nature using my wisdom
Living for freedom
3. Rescue Me
Oh please lord have mercy
I don’t know what I’ve done
There’s a fire burning in me
I can’t tell right from wrong
I have broken vows and cursed your name
And taken what ain’t mine
I have tasted hate and I’ve seen my fate
At the bottom of a bottle of wine
There’s a fire burning inside of me
There’s a fire burning inside of me
Won’t you rescue me
Oh rescue me, rescue me
I crawl out from the ashes
With shielded blood red eyes
There’s a neon sign that flashes
You’ve come to paradise
The smoky room, her cheap perfume
Another lost romance
I have sunk so low, running off my tracks
I never had a chance
There’s a fire burning inside of me
There’s a fire burning inside of me
Won’t you rescue me
Oh rescue me, rescue me
Won’t you rescue me
Oh rescue me, rescue me
There’s a fire burning inside of me
There’s a fire burning inside of me
Won’t you rescue me
Oh rescue me, rescue me
Won’t you rescue me
Oh rescue me, rescue me
4. 92
What is it that I have done
To deserve a bullet from your gun
I always thought you were my friend
Well I guess that I was wrong
Freezing cold won’t let me in
Wasn’t there a time when I was in
Never knew you’d turn your back on me
It’s only now I see
What I wanted is everything I didn’t get
When I needed nobody seemed to be my friend
Ain’t it funny how people change
And everybody forgets your name
But my hate will make me stronger
My hate will not forget
My hate will fill my hunger
Yeah ‘92 I hate you
Why mother did she die
When all I wanted to hear
Was have a happy new year
I didn’t know that I wasn’t your friend
Yeah ‘92 I hate you
A saddened voice, an april day mother told me
Grandma passed away
Didn’t fight the tears that fell
Never got to say farewell
Why is it you hurt me there
When you break the part I can’t repair
I always knew the day would come
But never did believe
What I wanted is everything I didn’t get
When I needed nobody seemed to be my friend
Ain’t it funny how people change
And everybody forgets your name
But my hate will make me stronger
My hate will not forget
My hate will fill my hunger
Yeah ‘92 I hate you
Why mother did she die
When all I wanted to hear
Was have a happy new year
I didn’t know that I wasn’t your friend
Yeah ‘92 I hate you
But my hate will make me stronger
My hate will not forget
My hate will fill my hunger
Yeah ‘92 I hate you
Why mother did she die
When all I wanted to hear
Was have a happy new year
I didn’t know that I wasn’t your friend
Yeah ‘92 I hate you
Yeah ‘92 I hate you
Why mother did she die
When all I wanted to hear
Was have a happy new year
I didn’t know that I wasn’t your friend
Yeah ‘92 I hate you
5. People
There are people who don’t tell the truth
There are people that resent the youth
And the people I see
Don’t ever talk to me
There are people who are so afraid
There are people that believe in fate
And the people I know are incognito
Can’t be trusted, they can’t be won
Always hiding behind a gun
They won’t help you
They won’t be nice, wouldn’t think to apologize
They are people I don’t like
They are shadows in my life
They are people I don’t need
They will bite the hand that feeds
There are people who don’t like to wait
There are people that are filled with hate
And the people I meet
I won’t ever defeat
There are people who will take your life
There are people that’ll steal your wife
And the people right here they don’t ever fear
Can’t be trusted, they can’t be won
Always hiding behind the gun
They won’t help you
They won’t be nice, wouldn’t think to apologize
They are people I don’t like
They are shadows in my life
They are people I don’t need
They will bite the hand that feeds
They are people I don’t like
They are shadows in my life
They are people I don’t need
They will bite the hand that feeds
Can’t be trusted, they can’t be won
Always hiding behind the gun
They won’t help you
They won’t be nice, they wouldn’t think to apologize
They are people I don’t like
They are shadows in my life
They are people I don’t need
They will bite the hand that feeds
They are people I don’t like
They are shadows in my life
They are people I don’t need
They will bite the hand that feeds
6. World Doesn't Mind
I’m a lover of life on the edge of a knife
Sitting comfortably numb on a ticking time bomb
And I’m the one at the end before it’s begun
I’m the bullet that flies from my killer’s gun
I’m feeling so fine
I’m feeling so fine
I know the world doesn’t mind, yeah I do
I know the world doesn’t mind
I’m the mental disease that is looking for peace
Just an open door into eternal war
Cause I believe that the lord lives next door to me
I got a master’s degree in insanity
I’m feeling so fine
I’m feeling so fine
I know the world doesn’t mind, yeah I do
I know the world doesn’t mind
I know the world doesn’t mind
I know the world doesn’t mind
I’m feeling so fine
I’m feeling so fine
I know the world doesn’t mind, yeah I do
I know the world doesn’t mind
I know the world doesn’t mind, do you know it too?
I know the world doesn’t mind
7. Possessed
Someone’s lurking at my door
I don’t know my name no more
Am I alive or am I dead
Lucifer is in my head
Not aware of what I’ve done
Killed somebody with my gun
Took her life, just seventeen
Am I human or machine
(I don’t know)
I’m burning from within
I’m burning for my sins
I’m burning cause I’m bad
I’m burning yes I’m mad
Lay me down into unholy ground
Cause I am possessed
Lay me down into unholy ground
Cause I am possessed
oh yes I am
Love is what I’ve come to hate
Love is what became her fate
(I don’t know)
So insane I cannot stop
Chain me down and lock me up
I’m burning for my guilt
I’m burning , yes I’m filth
I’m burning to the core
I’m burning evermore
Lay me down into unholy ground
Cause I am possessed
Lay me down into unholy ground
Cause I am possessed
oh yes I am
When a child is born he doesn’t know
Which way he will choose, which way he will go
Cause his future and his destiny is someone else’s fantasy
No he doesn’t know why ever he was born
The young man’s got a taste for blood
Ha has killed before and kill he will again
No he doesn’t see what’s right or wrong
He only knows to carry on
And satisfy the need he knows so well
The old man sits in a prison cell
For twenty years he’s waited there to die
As the final hour strikes the bell
They’re waiting for him down in Hell
And Death returns the favour one last time...
I’m burning for my guilt
I’m burning , yes I’m filth
I’m burning to the core
I’m burning evermore
Lay me down into unholy ground
Cause I am possessed
Lay me down into unholy ground
Cause I am possessed
Lay me down into unholy ground
Cause I am possessed
Lay me down into unholy ground
Cause I am possessed
I am possessed
I am possessed
8. Where Can I Go
Five in the morning and rain has started falling
I lie awake inside and think of you
I swore that I’d be leaving the day you left us all
But memories of you have kept me here
I’m nothing anymore
Just crumbling on the floor
Without you in my life
And nothing I can do
Can’get me close to you
And home where I belong
Where can I go when all the lights are out
Where can I turn in the middle of the night
What can I do ‘cause I just think of you
And I know that I can’t make it through the night
Time heals the wounded but it never ends the pain
And laughter sure don’t hang around this place
I’ve tried to be stronger but the nights are getting longer
The part of me you took was more than half
Never will your words
Heal me when it hurts
And warm when I’m cold
Never will your song
Carry me along
The road that leads to you
Where can I go when all the lights are out
Where can I turn in the middle of the night
What can I do ‘cause I just think of you
And I know that I can’t make it through the night
Where can I go when all the lights are out
Where can I turn in the middle of the night
What can I do ‘cause I just think of you
And I know that I can’t make it through the
Where can I go when all the lights are out
Where can I turn in the middle of the night
What can I do ‘cause I just think of you
And I know that I can’t make it through the night
I know that I can’t make it through the night
I know that I can’t make it through the night
9. If I Leave
If I leave would all the things I did be undone
Would all your seeds drink from the rain
And all your flowers bloom in the sun
If I said goodbye would sadness disappear from your eyes
Would you be free from your cocoon
And spread your wings a young butterfly
Am I just the key that sets you free
If I leave today will I know the way
Can I make it right, see myself in a better light
In the open book can I change what I mistook
Find the things I do not know
Tell me now where can I go
Memories don’t fade away
They only make it hard to forget
Your dreams will all come back to you
And I am left the things I regret
Am I leaving just to set you free
If I leave today will I know the way
Can I make it right, see myself in a better light
In the open book can I change what I mistook
Find the things I do not know
Tell me now where can I go
Fly from your broken cage to the open sky
Your freedom I cannot deny fly oh fly
Spread your golden wings again
Let me never ever cause you pain
Now I go and I set you free
When I leave today I will know the way
I make it right, see myself in a better light
In the open book I can change what I mistook
Find the things I do not know
I know now where can I go
When I leave today I will know the way
I make it right, see myself in a better light
In the open book I can change what I mistook
Find the things I do not know
I know now where can I go
Where I can go
I go away, set you free
Fly away, little bird
Fly away, fly away, fly away
10. Love Was Here
Now the house is all empty
And the fighting has ended
There’s no crying anymore
No more slamming of the door
Not a trace that love was here
All the mirrors are broken
And the pictures on the walls
Every smiling face erased
Every pillar left unbraced
Not a trace that love was here
Where did it go nobody knows
It came and left and never said goodbye
Where is it now, why did it go
There’s not a trace that love was here
Now the snow started falling
And the sky turned to grey
Everybody stayed inside
All the flowers froze and died
Not a trace that love wes here
Then death came and conquered
To the grave walk the old
One by one they disappear
Not a worry, not a fear
Do they know that love was here
Where did it go nobody knows
It came and left and never said goodbye
Where is it now, why did it go
There’s not a trace that love was here
