1.Ricochet
I've been dragged through the mud
Told i ain't enough
Done a lot of hard livin' in a world that's sometimes cold
I been pitched and taken in
My future's looking grim
Somehow i disconnected along that road
But try as i may
I can never be the same
This time i'm here to stay
Ricochet
Seen the walking side of death
The eyes that never rest
Been waiting in a line for the call that never comes
But kid, don't hold your breath
You're only second best
Ain't personal just business being done
With a paralysing gaze
I walked onto the stage
Could i really be the outcast coming home
As i turn to look at you
The way you've fallen too
I hope i can take it when it goes
2.The Way It Is
Maybe we were meant to be like a heartbeat turning black
Wasted like the colors mixed while thieves steal out the black
It's like a broken smile, a step apart that gives you style
It doesn't need explaining you know it's fall when it starts
raining
It's just the way it is
Touching through an open flame and sparks begin to fly
Looking for another way but you can't help passing by
It's not your enemy, it's the sense somehow you won't be free
It's only rank and file, trampled love, and walking wild
It's just the way it is
Within the crystal pains that we shattered long ago
Alone with what remains it's hard to let you know
In a no-win fight, i guess two wrongs don't make a right
We're in the dash between the way we are and what we've been
It's just the way it is
3.One-way Ticket
Lovesick, i can't kick it
I came in on a one-way ticket
I can't zip it, my brain's dead
Going 90 with a bridge out ahead
Watch out girl, you're gonna love me to death
I can't eat, i can't sleep
I been under the weather all week
A vaccination won't make it stop
There ain't no remedy for what i've caught
She's got a doll, she sticks the pins
I look like something that the cat dragged in
I got the symptoms, don't know the name
Been to hell and back and nothing's changed
4.These Times With You
I had to trace the clouds with the dark side looking in
I couldn't play the lie, it's just the way it's been
I never wanted to clear the pages in my life
I just came across to try it one more time
I wanna live these times with you
I couldn't find the road, the signs had been wiped out
I couldn't hear you after silence stunned the crowd
I was ready for change before it slipped away
I wanna steal the heart that holds the break of day
I wanna live these times with you
With some false delay before we take the fall
We seem to capture the pain before we face the wall
I never understood the things that cause our plight
I guess shadows falling down won't make things right
I wanna live these times with you
5.Shadows Of The Night
Downtown to the courthouse
For some pass-the-buck justice
It's a knock-down, drag 'em out, beat 'em up, mace the crowd
Strip search, busted
Can't control the fire
Coming through barbed wire
It's a junkyard, live hard, bear the scars of broke and charred
Sellers and buyers
So when all is said and done
Watch out, 'cause here they come
Shadows of the night
It's the last of the old ways
It's the wave of the new age
Computerized, digitized, money markets, mechanized
Internet highway
Infected by the needy
Neglected by the greedy
Chaos, blood loss, nickel bagging debutants
Looking for a freebie
We got radio silence
Another act of violence
Backstage, spray paint, security in rollerskates
Beating on a new dance
Going down on a choker
Stun gun smoker
Open range, who's game, shoot until the scream of pain
Never getting older
6.40 Miles Of Bad Road
I've crossed the line
I've bent the rules
Home of the brave
Red, white, and blue
I've fought the fire
Running through my head
Stood by and watched
Believed in what they said
I'm 40 miles of bad road
A riverbed of potholes
I know, i know, i know where
The money goes
Down a shaft of ratholes
Lowered by my ankles
Where dear dogs lie in the
Afterglow
I've walked the cage
I've been in cuffs
I've done the time
Enough is enough
I know my rights
Know when i'm wrong
But nothing seemed to matter
Until you came along
I've wrapped my wounds
I've closed my eyes
Escaped to nowhere
Turning back the tide
I asked the sage
What it's gonna take
To get out of jordan
With everything at stake
7.Out Of Reach
Is anybody really free, prisoners of
The strange society
Why is it we're forced to be products
Of the new reality
Drifting through time and space
And all the while
Feeling out of place
I'm out of reach
Waiting for the time to come
And every second always on the run
Looking for love once more
Then turning back and closing every door
Thinking that what might have been
Had that itch not gotten 'neath your skin
Praying to an idol sign
Believing this can keep your dream alive
Worried 'bout the waste of youth
Hoping that with age there will come truth
Dying to get out in time
Before the shadows start to cloud your mind
8.Never Again
I tried to tell you that there's always
Two sides to the blade
I saw my future cave in from the roots of decay
The dark cloud started dancing all over the sun
Whatever it took to make my blood run
I had a ways to go
Sorrow that you'll never know
But lately it's beginning to show
And i tell myself never again
The armies of doubt were playing war in my head
I couldn't recover from the things that they said
Crash landed in the safehouse under the stairs
Last place on earth where anyone cares
Never dreamed i'd fall to this
Something that i couldn't resist
And now i just clench my fists
And i tell myself never again
Run silent, run deep, run as fast as you can
Let the rest of the world slide through your hands
Old habits die hard like a fatal disease
They cut you so deep, you can never come clean
I've got a past to pay
I got demons to face
I can't just run away
But i tell myself never again
9.Janus
We're touching down on janus
Last of the dying planets
Her buried wealth and splendor
Had never been surrendered
For in these trying times
The flags of war waved high
On and on and on
Gone and gone and gone
As the fields of fire burned
No one seemed concerned
The future was consumed
And where destinies collide
Can anything survive
I stand inside the ruins
Beneath the dust of janus
The seeds of war were planted
They fought against all reason
Burning the flags of freedom
And as their hatred spread like rivers bloody red flowed
On and on and on
Gone and gone and gone
I too was taken cold
By the spirit and the soul
In a land of no one left
Still in silence and in death
A planet put to rest
She touches and she goes
So if we should survive
If all our worlds collide
Exploding in the light
Are we these islands of the sun
Old before we're young
Gone before we're done
We're touching down on janus
10.Sabotage
It's the
It's the common cause
It's the bloody cross
It's a sabotage
It's a bomb threat
It's a code red
It's a thousand dead
It's a twisted thought
It's a fever caught
It's the kill and rot
It's the terror reign
It's the devil's game
It's the wrath of cain
It's the taking of time, taking of time,
Taking of time, time, time
Murder in the sky
It's the sleeping lie
It's a suicide
It's a trash and burn
11.Shot Away
Like a falling star
Remember who you are
If life is but a dream
Somewhere in between
Time moves on so fast
We take off and we crash
Before the gates are closed
It all comes rushing past
Shot away
We'll all meet here again
We can't remember when
A glimmer in an eye
That makes you wonder why
It came and then it left
It left no evidence
It brushes up so close
Then whithers like a rose
Shot away
So babe, let's make the most
Remember all of those
No matter where they are
They'll never be that far
With crashes on the wind
Here we go again
Watch the falling star
And wonder who they are
Shot away
