1.To The Third Degree
Watch your mouth drop open Did you have something to say？ I
wouldn't waste my time with words that never seem to matter
anyway. Cause I'm still standing and I'm on top of the world I
watch you work your line with a smile and never say a word. Do
you think I'm easy？ I think you want it this way. So you can be
the victim when it becomes your role to play. I'm just a perfect
stranger that you know by name sleeping with one eye open let
you play your game. Will it make a difference？ I never wanted
this way. I walked an awkward line for awhile and now there's
hell to pay. I think you're playing with fire, you think you're
playing for keeps. And will it seem surprising when what you sow
is what you reap？ I'm just a perfect stranger that you know by
name sleeping with one eye open let you play your game you're
living your life in anger, try to take your claim, but now that
my trust is broken watch me walk away.
2.Push Higher
Friction causes fire causes friction, and thats the way its
always been So here it comes again. I push those thoughts away,
I have to handle, there's nothing I can't take with two hands
reaching for the sky. And I know that you can see me but you
don't I've passed you by a thousand times Can we find the tie
that binds？ All these walls and lines Separate you, separate me
until we walk the world blind. Push higher and higher up above,
the earth beneath my feet. The world is a mirror. We see
ourselves in everyone we meet. All my life I have seen the
divisions we create Don't want it. I refuse to look through the
eyes of hate and though my stand may waver I'm only human, I'm
bound to make mistakes but still I'm reaching for the sky. Push
higher and higher up above, the earth beneath my feet. The world
is a mirror. We see ourselves in everyone we meet. and it's
everyone I see.
3.Fine Line Life
Take what you want if there's no one looking Say waht you will
if there's no one listening closely you make your moves so
slowly a fly upon the wall You wonder what they're going to say
when you are gone and you're afraid they're going to find that
you're wrong you're so busy trying Appearances wear thin. Don't
be a slave to the voices in your head, You'll play it safe if it
gets you into bed. And is it really lying if it gets you what
you need？ I can't believe all the tightropes that you walk You
make believe that your angle's all you've got and leave me
feeling sorry cause you can't see Its all inside your head You
cross the line and swallow all the lies that you've been fed
From time to time, you'll wake up feeling anxious in your bed
Your conscience screaming what will anyone care when I am dead？
Your fine line life. And its alright. I can't really judge you.
Because I don't have to be you. I just want you to see I'm not
afraid to say exactly what I think You take control and you
decide to swim or sink and live your life with passion remember
that it's all inside your head. You dance the line and swallow
all the lies that you've been fed from time to time, you'll wake
up feeling anxious in your bed Your conscience screaming, what
will anyone care when I am dead？ Your fine line life. Don't try
to be the kind of person that you're not Quit holding back
you've got to give it what you've got you might find it
surprising be honest with yourself It doesn't really matter what
the others think You take control and decide to swim or sink.
and live your life with passion remember that it's all inside
your head...
4.23 Years
twenty three years since the last revolution twenty one miles to
the nearest filling station riding through the night without a
destination to kick out the jams for the next generation.
There's a murderer walking through your mind and a hero flawless
in design. Its up to you to take a side. But nevermind cause
we're saying something you don't want to hear. Tired of waking
up will somebody turn the channel？ Tried to watch the news but
its more than I can handle Open up your eyes and tell me what
you see Kick down the doors and blow up the TV Don't worry You
can save yourself. The answer's not in anybody else. But
nevermind cause we're saying something you don't want to hear.
Say a prayer for the next generation suicides and Saturday
nights. There's nothing great for the next generation, we've got
to stand take control of our lives. But nevermind cause we're
saying something you don't want to hear.
5.Against Us All
let me ask you a question, you never had no trouble in your life
you're always looking to show there's nothing worse than
weakness in your eyes worse than losing control. What makes you
think its easy？ The world turns, it turns against us all. You're
passing judgement on everyone you meet you use your words like a
whip it's like there's something inside you can't defeat you
pounce when anyone slips What makes you think its easy？ The
world turns, it turns against us all. There's condescension in
every word you speak Another rebel in black I'd just be careful
with the stances that you take cause one day it's all coming
back. Let me tell a little secret that I know I'll whisper in
your ear. While you're busy postuting for show What does anyone
care？ What makes you think its easy？ The world turns, it turns
against us all. Do you think I'm making a mistake？ I lay it all
on the line. You're calculating all the chances that you take
but one day soon you will find the water's rising, moving over
your head surprising you when you least expect and I won't hold
against you all the things that you've said there's some things
that you have to accept What makes you think its easy？ The world
turns, it turns against us all. What makes you think its easy？
and who will be there if you should ever fall？
6.Feeling Fine
there are no stages and the show's all ages so hey ho now lets
go we've been up all night, drinking and fighting to the sound
of rocknroll You bring the car, I'll bring the rent and we'll
wake up with all our money spent. I'll buy a guitar and you can
come as you are now its time to hit the road Cause I'm feeling
frustrated and I'm tired of waiting and doing what I'm told.
This is the first day of my life. And I know nothing's ever felt
as right. I'm feeling fine and I know where I am going I know
where I have been. The times are changing but the feeling's the
same as it was so long ago And right from the start we only
played from the heart and let it take us where we'll go. I feel
the music make me sweat. The only question's how high can I get？
I'm feeling fine and I know where I am going I know where I have
been. there are no stages and the show's all ages so hey ho now
lets go we've been up all night, drinking and fighting to the
sound of rocknroll For once in my life I got the feel of
something for once in my life I'm feeling fine and I know where
I am going I know where I have been.
7.Forever
A stillness comes when the smiles have faded dissatisfied, but
you won't betray it. I don't want to leave, But the world is
waiting and its hard to breathe when you hear her say We never
say forever to each other anymore and its harder everytime you
go away We never say forever to each other anymore and I wonder
if there's nothing left to say I'm so confused bought a ring for
the wedding of broken glass in a silver setting through a
telephone you can hear her sighing from far away. We never say
forever to each other anymore and its harder everytime you go
away We never say forever to each other anymore and I wonder if
there's nothing left to say I don't want to leave, But the world
is waiting and its hard to breathe when you hear her say...
8.Gone But Not Forgotten
I see you right through to everything that you've been missing
It's just beyond this door And if you can see through all the
lights and grand illusion you'll find out what it's for and I
say Don't tell me that you're sorry is that all that you can is
that all that you can say？ Don't realize way too late the
feeling now it's gone but not forgotten. And I've always been a
stranger, a wanderer searching in the dark And you've always
been a victim, a modern martyr playing our your part I see it
written on your face between the lines of last year's anger.
Don't realize way too late the feeling now it's gone but not
forgotten. I know someday you'll You'll find out someday. Don't
realize way too late the feeling now it's gone but not
forgotten.
9.One Last Fight
Don't be decieved, you have to question everything especially
those who say they represent Don't be defined by a faceless mass
of charlatans enticing you to buy their wretched line Keep
moving Keep moving on and on Don't slow down, let them put you
in your place If you've had enough and you just can't take One
last fight, I want to make you come alive tonight Don't take my
word, or what you read or what you've heard the angle of the eye
distorts the view don't take my side, its just another way to
hide the descision's all on you. Keep moving Keep moving on and
on. Don't slow down, let them put you in your place If you've
had enough and you just can't take One last fight, I want to
make you come alive tonight
10.Don't Leave Me
I remember times we used to spend within this room in darkness I
can still pretend, I can still pretend she's with me. They
always say that time will wash away all the painful memories,
but I want them to stay I want them to stay inside me. I never
said I wanted your sympathy you can take you're bleeding heart
right out the door don't leave me I never said I needed your
empathy I'll stay inside this room forevermore believing. How
can a person simply dissappear？ You close your eyes one day and
vanish in the air and no one is prepared to take it. But what if
I refuse to let her go？ Her picture on the mirror and her scent
upon my clothes her scent upon my clothes for comfort. I never
said I wanted your sympathy you can take you're bleeding heart
right out the door don't leave me I never said I needed your
empathy I'll stay inside this room forevermore believing If you
can touch and you can taste it and its nothing like you've ever
felt before and you see it and you can feel it and its nothing
like you've ever felt before slowly slipping slowly slipping
away I never said I wanted your sympathy you can take you're
bleeding heart right out the door don't leave me I never said I
needed your empathy I'll stay inside this room forevermore
believing. I never said I wanted your sympathy but its something
that I've never needed more don't leave me I never said I needed
your empathy sometimes we just don't know what's in store
believe me.
11.Cold As Stone
This world is not my world This time I won't be swayed to stare
into this emptiness and never look away Can you feel it？ Can you
feel？ You're cold as stone. This life is not my life I won't be
ruled by fear when you breathe in all this emptiness you slowly
dissappear Can you feel it？ Can you feel？ You're cold as stone.
This sinking sensation There's something more to life It's
nothing, ignore it sit back and feel alright. You're cold as
stone. Can you feel it？ Can you feel？ You're cold as stone.
12.I Was Only Dreaming...
When I wake up my head still feels heavy Cluttered up from the
dreams the night before I was lost at sea one thousand days with
a bottle and a broken compass I had lost the will to live until
I woke on a strange and distant shore. But I was only dreaming
the troubled signs of a mind that's ill at ease I've been lost
and found then I turned around took the trouble just to see
what's going down Wait awhile and the world will change or it
changes you I'm not sure which and Scars may never fade, but
strength is The heart to let them show with courage And just
before I break, in darkness A spark begins to glow. So when
you're fortunes stall if you start to fall Taking comfort that
your back's against the wall. Wait awhile and the world will
change If there's one thing that I've found that's true its
Scars may never fade, but strength is The heart to let them show
with courage And just before I break, in darkness A flame begins
to grow Destruction, birth in fantasy I'm dreaming of the life I
seek I'm changing the things I can control Scars may never fade,
but strength is The heart to let them show with courage And just
before I break, in darkness a spark begins to glow. Begins to
grow.
