"Dream Of A New Day"

"Dream Of A New Day"



Long distance our ways are still the same
Existing in a life of pride and shame
It's so easy to imagine a life
Where love's not destined to die...

Dream of a new day I do
'Cause I feel for the lost
lost for our time
Dream of a new day I do
'Cause I feel that we're caught
Caught in this lie

We drifted in time we know what's right
If you won't miss it let it die without a fight
It's so easy to imagine a life
Where love's not destined to die...

Dream of a new day I do
'Cause I feel for the lost
lost for our time
Dream of a new day I do
'Cause I feel that we're caught
caught in This lie

I dream of a new day where love is alive

"Dust"

"Dust"



Hold me down
Struck with a feeling, yeah
You've gonna and opened me up
And I can't stop the bleedin' no
It's something in you, oh
Burned by all the fools they passin' trough my life,
Scared by deceit that's come across my eyes,
Drownin'in the pain that I can't erase,
But I want ya, I need ya, I can't live without ya babe,
So I gonna run... close my eyes
Let the path I leave behind me burn to dust
Yeah, I'm gona run to the fire
Ain't no way to find me trough the dust, dust dust.
Slow me down
And give me all the pieces
I don't want to be fooled and let down
by too much competition
I'm trying to be... cool with my position...
I just don't want to be fooling myself yea
I'm in too deep to change it
Burned by all the dues I had to pay last time
Scared by the truth I had to realize,
Stunned by all the lies I had to face
But I want ya, I need ya, I can't live without ya babe
Burned by all the fools that let me down last time
Scared by all the things that made me feel all right
Drownin' in the pain that I can't erase
But I want ya, I need ya, I can't live without ya babe
So I gonna run... close my eyes
Let the path I leave behind me burn to dust
Yea, I'm gona run to the fire
Ain't no way to find me trough the dust
Yea, I gonna run... close my eyes
Let the path I leave behind me burn to dust
Oh, I'm gona run to the fire
And ain't no way to catch me trough the dust, dust dust

"Encounter"

"Encounter"



I know that in the end, when it's over
I will survive
But now, I'm left here with nothing but the memorie of you
I can go on, but the sorrow still lives in my heart
Believe, I will be with you again

Thoughts inside my head
Of what we used to be
It's all that I feel
All that I feel

Can't you see?
Can't you see that
I wanna get back where we started
It's hard for me to live without you next to me
Can't you see?
Can't you see that
I wanna get back where we started
Living without you is getting hard on me

Believe
All my days are longer since you've gone away
and I, I can't control the way you feel about us
Maybe in time the feelings you have will change
Believe
I wish the things could be different

Thoughts inside my head
Of what we used to be
It's all that I feel
All that I feel

Can't you see?
Can't you see that
I wanna get back where we started
It's hard for me to live without you next to me
Can't you see?
Can't you see that
I wanna get back where we started
Living without you is getting hard on me

"Faded"

"Faded"



Janis worked the late shift in an all night
coffee house down by the 23 east
Had high hopes of being a movie star
till she married a merchant marine
under her hat where the silver screen dreams
are a hounting memory
is a too true story of hard luck faith struck by reality

If you wanna find some you got to try some more
what world you die for
when you're faded if you got a life
open your eyes before your faded

Arnie was a hitter for twin valley little league
signed up in the summer of '73
Had big dreams of winnin the new world series
till daddy went away on permanent leave
behind the sweat and frustrated times
the fight to make ends meet
is that age old story of what it takes
the right time at the right place

If you wanna find some you got to try some more
what would you die for when you're faded
If you got a life then open your eyes before
you are faded
If you wanna find some you got to try some more
what would you die for when you're jaded
if you got a life then
open your eyes before your faded

"Faith"



Faith...
I don´t wanna lose my faith
In all of the things that I felt so strong
I may be slippin', but I'm holdin' on. . . Oh

But what am I supposed to do when the feeling's gone?
The hardest thing about it is movin' on

I know the future is out of my hands...Oh
I´m all right with waiting and anticipating
And oh, Cause I won´t stop believing

Believing in faith

"Fantasy"

"Fantasy"



Love wasn't love until you came around
I can't keep my focus life isn't life unless
You come around
Tell me what have I become
You make my feel how I shouldn't feel
How can I get away
I gotta know what I'm living isn't some kind of dream

Oh oh oh won't you tell me is it a
Fantasy is it a fantasy
Oh oh oh wont you tell me is it a
Fantasy are you my fantasy

Touch wasn't touch until you came around
I can't let you change me
Why when I try to kick you out you just
Make me sober
You like a flame always burning but you
Never burn out
I'll never get away
I try to leave but when I try somehow you keep me around

"Fast Money Fast Cars"

"Fast Money Fast Cars"



Some guys got the money and the fast cars
Some girls want the green and a pop star
I'll give you the dream if you say you want it

It's not so complicated I never been into chasin'
I may seem educated but I'm not
I know I'm not the greatest but I'll treat you like a lady
I just need you to tell me what you want from me

 

[fox69]

"Fear"

"Fear"



I shut the door and promising
The shallow word that suffocates the air
There's always hope but then your never there
What can I do to forget that I'm breaking

And I fear that I've finally reached the end
And I feel like I'm gone again, gone again
Fear, I know it's never gonna end
And I feel like I'm going down, going down, breaking, ooh, ooh

I'm alone no matter where I am
The shadow led me to my own distress
Here I go into the black again
But you won't hear me when I'm waking with the dead

And I fear that I've finally reached the end
And I feel like I'm gone again, gone again
Fear, I know it's never gonna end
And I feel like I'm going down, going down, breaking
My mind tricked my mind and my soul sold my soul
My heart broke my heart and I'm wasted
And I'm wasted through my fear

And I fear that I've finally reached the end
And I feel like I'm gone again, gone again
Fear, I know it's never gonna end
And I feel like I'm going down, going down, breaking, ooh, ooh

"Feed My Head"

"Feed My Head"



I don't wanna hear about the false truth that you're preachin'
I'm not tryin' to hear all of your lies
Quit telling me which way to go
I'll jump too high, I'll fall too low
I'm happy livin' my own life
In a satisfied situation ain't no confrontation
That's the way, tha't's the way I like it
I got my education livin' my own life and facing
All the choices were mine

Feed my head - seal my fate
Drown my fear and fade away
Feed my head - my escape
Leave my heart and soul to take

Keep feedin' your own ego
with your shameless competition
It's the money and the power that you like
An allegiance to hipocrisy and lies you don't believe in
Wile you brothers lay there dying in the street
In and ideal situation no room from confrotation
Everybody's living their own lives
But you can't help yourself
from making trouble and aggravation
I don't wanna close my eyes

Feed my head - seal my fate
Drown my fear and fade away
Feed my head - my escape
Leave my heart and soul to take

"Fooled Again"

"Fooled Again"



Here I go playing the fool again...
yeah I am, I am, I am
Tired and broken by the changing hands
Missing what I never had

Not a dream not a thought not a one desire
nothin' needed
All the fear, all the loss, all the pain in me
has all faded

I'm losin' sleep for the last time
I'm in too deep it's no surprise

So here I go playin' the fool again...
yeah I am, I am, I am
Tired and broken by the changing hands
Missin' what I never had

I shoulda known by the jaded past
Times can change but nothing lasts
I never thought of being fooled again
but I am, I am, I am

Not a lie, not a fight, won't be traumatized
by my anger... not too strong, not too weak
I can't turn around for a stranger
I feel the heat, I'm tempted still
I can't be led by your own will
