"The Enemy"

"The Enemy"



I’m over blaming I own everything I’m the monster I must face
I miss the touch I miss so much I’m missing something that I can’t replace

And if you doubt or feel left out
You should know I feel your pain
I am the clown who ripped off his crown and no one can see

I’m living with the enemy
It’s someone deep inside of me
I’m nothing that I want to be
Correct my course I'm ready so ready so ready

Rainbows acting drunk were acting love there’s something wrong it’s in the sky
So when it’s done we better run this shit ain’t nothing we can test or try
And if you doubt or feel left out you should know you’re not to blame
This is your out to spit me out I’m the one I can’t escape

I’m living with the enemy
It’s someone deep inside of me
I’m nothing that I want to be
Correct my course I’m ready so ready so ready
Damn what you’ve done to me
So wicked with the subtlety
And I can’t even stand my ground
Correct my course I’m ready so ready so ready

"The Feelin’s Gone"

"The Feelin’s Gone"



I woke up to the sound of cryin'
woman said she's gonna leave
She told me that I gave up tryin' and that's too but for me

I don't want to believe the feelins gone
It's too hard to see what went wrong
And I can't believe the feeelin's gone away from me

I take a look in the mirror there's nothin' much there to me
As time goes by things are clearer
but I still can't see what it all means

I don't want to believe the feelins gone
It's too hard to see what went wrong
And I can't believe the feeelin's gone away from me

"The Shadow"

"The Shadow"



Shadows are livin'
I know who they are
Don't tell me I'm crazy because I'm too far
Shadows I live with
They watch when I fall
And no one can stop me from what I believe

Love is all I've never known
And all I've ever wanted to feel
But I won't ever feel...
And the shadow knows
The war in my mind
Shadows are resting in my soul
And the shadows breathes the eyes see everything
Haunting in my heart until I die...
Wasting my time just trying to be

My friends have no faces just voices
Somehow they help me when I'm lost in my life
And give me the strength to get out of it

Love is all I've never known
And all I've ever wanted to feel
But I won't ever feel...
And the shadow knows
The war in my mind
Shadows are resting in my soul
And the shadows breathes the eyes see everything
Haunting in my heart until I die...

Love is all I've never known
And all I've ever wanted to feel
But I won't ever feel...
And the shadow knows
The war in my mind
Shadows are resting in my soul
And the shadows breathes the eyes see everything
Haunting in my heart until I die...

"The Winner"

"The Winner"



Before I met you I was incomplete
I didn't know what to do with anything
Now you're here and I'm on my feet
And my heart is feelin' everything

I don't ever wanna lose this feeling
I don't need, anything but you!

You oughta know that you gave me life
And told me things that I never knew about
Now I know I'm gonna be alright
With you there's nothing to think about

I don't ever wanna lose this feeling
I don't need, anything but you!

I gotta burning love
And to all that I desire
From the moment I'm awake
Until the dead of night!

I gotta burning love
And only you'd put out the fire
I feel like I'm a winner,
Because you're mine!

I wonder how I ever lived my life
Without you and the things we talk about
I can't imagine ever living my life
Without you and the things I'd live without

I don't ever wanna lose this feeling
I don't need, anything but you!

I gotta burning love
And only you'd put out the fire
I feel like I'm a winner,
Because you're mine

You had me figure out the things that I can't understand
I let it go and I try not to think that I'm in your hands, in your hands!

I gotta burning love
And to all that I desire
From the moment I'm awake
Until the dead of night!

I gotta burning love
And only you'd put out the fire
I feel like I'm a winner,
Because you're mine!

I gotta burning love
And to all that I desire
From the moment I'm awake
Until the dead of night!

I gotta burning love
And only you'd put out the fire
I feel like I'm a winner,
Because you're mine!

"Thrill Is Gone"

"Thrill Is Gone"



The thrill is gone
The thrill is gone away
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away
You know you done me wrong
The thrill is gone

The thrill is gone
It's gone away from me
The thrill is gone, baby
The thrill is gone away from me
Although I'll still live on
So lonely I'll be

The thrill is gone
It's gone away for good
Oh, the thrill is gone,
Felling is coming for good
Someday I'll be over it all, baby
Just like I know a good man should be

Well I'm free now
Yeah I'm free from your spell
Oh, I'm free now
Felling I'm free from your spell
And now that it's all over
All I can do is wish you well

"Till You Put Me Down"

"Till You Put Me Down"



Sometimes you just have to walk away
Ain't no lying, ain't no fighting when you're gone
And sometimes you just have to turn the page
Ain't no game, ain't no struggle when its over
I can feel, I can feel when it starts turning cold
There's no reason to lie when you feel that it's gone

All that I've survived yet I can't escape the pain
All that I can do leave it up to you till you put me down
All that I've survived yet I can't escape the pain
All that I can do is leave it up to you
Until you put me down

Sometimes it ain't nothing that you say
Just a look just a feeling or expression
And sometimes it ups and slips away
Out of your head, through your heart, through your fingers
I can't say that my heart has been telling the truth
But I know that my head has been spinning all because of you

All that I've survived yet I can't escape the pain
All that I can do leave it up to you till you put me down
All that I've survived yet I can't escape the pain
All that I can do is leave it up to you
Until you put me down

"Time For The Payment"

"Time For The Payment"



Tell me that I’m free…Tell me that it’s over and tomorrow I’m gonna see
Nothing that I’ve seen before… Every night and day I’ll see the rainbow and know where it leads

So long, I’ve got to say goodbye… It feels like happiness, it has been taken to the test
and made me sober… enough to let it rest… And now I can dream with nothing to expect,
and nothing to lose, and nothing to fight

And I don’t wonder why because it’s time for the payment
I'm somewhere in the sky and I fly like Im weightless
Yea I was missing I was tripping I was slipping so bad now it’s time for the payment

It hit me like a weight… took me like an undertow that was so strong, and I couldn’t breathe
And now I'm not the same, I'm not what I thought I was, but its ok, because Ive been released.

Right now I float like a feather in the air… I know you you can’t see me, but you know that I’m everywhere
I know what your faith was before they put you to the test, so long ago
But now there's nothing to confess and nothing to lose, and nothing to fight

And I don't wonder why because it’s time for the payment
I’m somewhere in the sky with a smile on my face and I don’t wonder why
because i fly like I’m weightless
Yea I was missing I was slipping I was tripping so bad but I finally made the payment
Yea its a struggle its a struggle everybody’s got their trouble but we gotta make the payment

"Tobacco Road"

"Tobacco Road"



I was born in a dump
My mama died and my daddy got drunk
They left me here to die or grow
In the middle of tobacco road

I grew up in a rusty shack
All I owe I'll wear on my back
Oh good lord knows how i loathe
This place I called tobacco road, hoah!

And it's hard,
But it's only way I've ever known I could live
I despise you cos 'your filthy
I love you cause your home tobacco road

I'm gonna leave and get a job
With the help and the grace from god
I'm gonna save all my money and get rich one day
And bring it back to tobacco road

And it's hard baby
But it's only way I've ever known i could live
I despise you cos you're filthy
I love you cause your home tobacco road

Bring all dynamite and I'll bring old crane
I'm gonna blow it up and tear it down and start it all over again
I will build me a town so then I could be proud
I think I'll keep the name tobacco road

Oh but it's hard
There's a only way i've ever known I could live baby
I despise you cos 'your filthy
I love you cause your home tobacco road, yeah

"Too Deep"

"Too Deep"



You've been knokin' around this town for years,
Too much time spent nursong your own tears,
While the traffic is rushin' by you can't find a ride
And it's lookin' like there's nothin' left to me

I was back in the neighborhood where we lived
So much has changed yet you still
remained the same
Well it's fear that's been tellin' you
There's nothin' you can say or do tonight

And it feels like the knife's in too deep
And it's lookin' like there's nothin' left to me
Well it feel s like the hooks have sank too deep
And it's not that you don't hunger for more
You're stuck because the sand became too deep

There's a woman who once said she belived
Spent her emotions on material needs
There's a mirror on the wall that reflects it all
And it's time they keep runnin' from
The truth that's never spoken of
It's all there for everyone to see

And it feels like the knife's in too deep
And it's lookin' like there's nothin' left to me
Well it feel s like the hooks have sank too deep
And it's not that you don't hunger for more
You're stuck because the sand became too deep

You are confusion wrapped in fear
Still fighting not to disappear

And it feels like the knife's in too deep
And it's lookin' like there's nothin' left to me
Well it feel s like the hooks have sank too deep
And it's all that you've been wanting for you
That's turned ypu into what you are
It's all because the lie became too deep
