"Locked Out"

"Locked Out"



6:45 stand for the mirror then you talk for a while
Phone in your hand, eyes on the TV,
it's another night
No one but you, stand while the water rushes
down your spine
Walk in your room, search for the colors that could
change your life

You found the ladder, you're climbin' but
you're far down
You saw what's in there, you're knockin'
but you're locked out

Up in the heat, play for the man, you're the sacrifice
Damned if you do, damned if you don't,
you want all the light
Now it's getting late, walk to the door with
the keys in hand
You tell yourself maybe this time will change my life

You found the ladder, you're climbin' but
you're far down
You saw what's in there, you're knockin'
but you're locked out
You found the ladder, you're climbin' but
you're far down
You saw what's in there, you're knockin'
but you're locked out

"Long Way From Home"

"Long Way From Home"



I'm just waiting for the sun to shine
Shine over me just enough to see
I'm just waiting for the spark to start the fire
And burn enough of me, enough to set me free

On and on and on and on
I keep having the same dream
Everybody, everybody, everybody
they keep trying to break me

I've been gone for so many years
I don't know how I got here
I know where I wanna be
But I'm a long way from home

I was strong but I got weak
I've got so much behind me
I don't know where I am
But I'm a long way from home

I'm not waiting for someone to comfort me
You can't hurt if you can't feel
And I've been numb since I got here
I'm just waiting for a star to guide the way
Another night that I won't sleep
I'm on another dead end street

On and on and on and on
I watch the wheels as they keep spinning
Falling falling falling falling
But there's no way I'm goin in

I've been gone for so many years
I don't know how I got here
I know where I wanna be
And I'm a long way from home

I was strong but I got weak
from the devil inside me
I don't know where I am
But I'm a long way from home

I guess I gotta keep searching
I can't see in the dark
I got the devil in me and I'm a long way from home
I don't wanna keep searching
I can't see when I'm stuck in the dark
I'm a puppet on strings
and I'm a long way from home

I'm just waiting for the sun to shine
Shine over me just enough to see
I'm just waiting for the spark to light the fire
Shine a light for me I wanna get back home

"Lose Again"

"Lose Again"



I don't wanna talk about it, I just wanna dead
I don't wanna go back inside of what is in your head
You think you walk on higher ground,
but you're sinking instead
You can claim you never hurt me, but then you
never say you wrong

If lost back when, I have learned, I don't lose again
If I lost before, I make sure, I don't lose no more
But you know what it's like to lose again

I won't ever call you crazy, I don't say I'm sane
I don't wanna run back into it,
that won't shake the pain
You think you still got hold of me,
but you're reaching in vain
You won't learn this hurt works both ways, and so
you never wake up strong

If lost back when, I have learned, I don't lose again
If I lost before, I make sure, I don't lose no more
But you know what it's like to lose again
And don't you know you chose to lose again

"Losin' My Mind"

"Losin' My Mind"



I'm in touch with myself just enough to
Know where I am
I'm in love with my drugs and I feel like
Superman
Oh I'm just confronting my fear
Just another hit out of here oh oh
I know I know I'm losing my mind oh oh I
Think I can fly
Oh oh I'm larger than life
Am I really here or am I losing my mind
I still talk to myself so I don't forget
Who I am
I can't sleep I can't walk but I can fly
Like superman

"Love Devine"

"Love Devine"



Some say love is emotion
I say love is a temple of life
I feel I am a fortunate one
And I don't want nobody judging this man...

I know they all have their theories
On how a man and a woman should be
But if there's one thing somebody should know
It don't matter how you're livin' your life
I don't want nobody judging mine

Free your mind
I know what you want it your life
He who says love is blind
ay never witness a love divine

They say that time's of the essence
And I've watched the sand sift through my fingers
But I managed to save some of those years
Now that I found meaning in life
Now that I have found a love divine

Free your mind
I know what you want it your life
He who says love is blind
ay never witness a love divine

"Love Is Blind"

"Love Is Blind"



Oh this time, she got the best of me
And I've got nothing to stand by

Help me preacher
No one's praying for me now
They're all up off knees o' uh o'

Call the dealer
I've got to change that constitution
This woman's got me so spun out
So I keep rollin', rollin', rollin' through my days
I was playing like the gambler
What's my name

But I know this time, she got the best of me
And I've got nothing to stand by
Oh this time, I gotta make the deal
I know it's suicide, but love is blind

Mother Nature has somehow stunt my evolution
Cuz I'm trippin backwards oh
Cut my losses
Someone paid me restitution
Woman's got me so tore up
Believe me but I'm rollin', rollin', rollin' through my days
I was playing like the gambler
What's my name

But I know this time, she got the best of me
And I've got nothing to stand by
Oh this time, I gotta make the deal
I know it's suicide, but love is blind

Oh oh,
What am I gonna do?
I'm falling, falling, falling ... for you
What am I gonna do?
Just don't say I love you, What am I gonna do?
What am I gonna do?

But I know this time, she got the best of me
And I've got nothing to stand by
Oh this time, I gotta make the deal
I know it's suicide, but love is blind

"Made For Tonight"

"Made For Tonight"



No more waiting for the one
You are everything that I could not find
No more questions in my mind
Because you satisfy the void in my life
Some would say I was bitter
But the better things have come to me
And that I can deny
Everything everything is
So much better tonight
I know you and were made for tonight
So much larger than life
You know you and I were made for tonight
Tell me anything you want to
You know words could never get in our way
Let me be the one to tell you
All the kinds of things I could never say
I can't show you the future
But the better things have come to be and
That we cant deny

Everything everything is
So come with me ill show you how
Forget the past forget the doubt
You and I were, meant to be and that we can deny
There's no time to be bitter
Because the better things have come to us
And that we can deny
Everything everything is

"Metamorphoze"

"Metamorphoze"



I can feel it somethings wrong every second that your gone
Is it real or in my mind
I feel like I need your touch it's that thing I miss so much
I can feel it in my soul
My wasted life I'm chasing time I know your real
My only hope is if I put my faith in you

On and on and on and on I'm breaking I'm still waiting
even now
On and on and on and on I'm fading I'm still waiting
even now

You live in my memory good and bad a part of me
And I'm never letting go
I traveled through all space and time to be with you

On and on and on and on I'm breaking I'm still waiting
even now
On and on and on and on I'm fading I'm still waiting
for you now

On and on and on and on I'm breaking I'm still waiting
even now
On and on and on and on I'm fading I'm still waiting
even now

"Misunderstood"

"Misunderstood"



You think your so misunderstood
You tell your lies
And to my eyes you look so good
In your disguise
And the more you talk about the more I start to believe in
The line that feeds the lies will keep me blind and give you meaning

But that1s wrong I'm so soft
I'm a sucker for a taste
And you make me feel...

Misunderstood and no good
Like a number with a face
I'm a dog stray and lost
And I know I'll always be
Misunderstood...

I feel contempt I feel confused
I don't know why
I think I lost my point of view
I closed my eyes
And the more I think about the less I seem to remember
The way it was
The way I am and how I lost the meaning

And that's wrong
I'm so gone
I don't know what to replace
I don't wanna be...

Misunderstood and no good
Like a number with a face
I'm a dog stray and lost
And I know Ill always be
Misunderstood, yeah, yeah
Misunderstood yeah, yeah

And you make me feel...

Misunderstood and no good
Like a number with a face
I'm a dog stray and lost
And I know Ill always be
Misunderstood and no good

Like a number with a face
I'm a dog stray and lost
And I know Ill always be
Misunderstood...
Yeah, yeah, yeah,

You think your world is so complete
