Dead Letters

Back In The Picture

There were times in my life I was down on my knees, now it''s over.
Deep inside my heart I know.
Simply put I''ve been stabbed in the back ever since I remember.
Deep inside it hurt to let go.

I''m back in the picture.
I wonder what took so long, so long.

Dedicate everything I create
to my friends I would die for.
But you will always be the one.
Memories that you can''t overrun, memories I could cry for.
I thought I''d always be on the run.

Funeral Song

I dumped you again.
I don''t understand.
It''s happened before.
Can''t take it no more.

These foolish games.
Always end up in confusion.
I''ll take you back
just to leave you once again.

I died in my dreams.
What''s that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire.
I died in my dreams.
Reaching out for your hand
my fatal desire.

I''ve failed you again.
''Cause I let you stay.
I used to pretend
that I felt OK.

Just one big lie.
Such a perfect illusion.
I made you mine.
Just to hurt you once again

Guilty

I feel guilty.
My words are empty.
No signs to give you.
I don''t have the time for you.

You say I''m heartless.
And you say I don''t care.
I used to be there for you.
And you''ve said I seem so dead, that I have changed.
But so have you.

Guilty, guilty I feel so
Empty, empty you know how to make me feel.

I put a shield upon you.
I didn''t mean to hurt you.
You used to be there for me.
So don''t you leave say goodbye.
Cause you have changed but so have I.

I never though that the time and the distance.
Between us made you so much colder.
I''ll carry the world on my shoulders.

In My Life

Feel the heat below my feet.
I have to go no time to sleep.
Can''t believe the things you say.
Turn my head and walk away.
You make me sick you make me nervous.

Times are gone when you would say.
This is the one and seize the day.
Times are gone for honesty.
"My victory is your defeat".
Oh can''t you see you''ve been mistaken.

In my life I decide and it turns me on.
How I am, How I live, Who I love.
In my way I feel strong.
And it turns me on.
In my life, I decide, I decide.

All you do, you can''t deny it, it''s waste of time, waste of life.
Can I suggest that you invest in something more than hopelessness.
Before you know, the ride is over.

It''s up to you if you give it up, give it up.
It''s up to you if you won''t stop.

The record shows that you''re dead but you''re still living.
Every time you have died you have been given
another change to fix your bad attitude.
And make a move, it''s up to you.

In The Shadows

ooh,ooh...ooh,oooh
No sleep, no sleep until I''m done with finding the answer
Won''t stop, won''t stop before I find a cure for this cancer
Sometimes I feel like going down, and so is connented
Somehow I know I''m haunted to be wanted

I''ve been watching
I''ve been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I''ve been searching
I''ve been living
For tomorrow all my life

ooh, ooh...ooh,ooh
In the shadows
ooh,ooh...ooh,ooh
In the shadows

They say that I must learn to kill before I can feel safe
But I, I''d rather kill myself then turn into their slave
Sometimes I feel that I should go and play with the thunder
Somehow I just don''t wanna stay and wait for the wonder

I''ve been watching
I''ve been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I''ve been searching
I''ve been living
For tomorrow all my life

Lately I''ve been walking, walking in circles
watching, waiting for something
Feel me
Touch me
Heal me
Come take me higher

I''ve been watching
I''ve been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I''ve been searching
I''ve been living
For tomorrow all my life

I''ve been watching
I''ve been waiting
I''ve been searching
I''ve been living
For tomorrow all my life

ooh,ooh..ooh,ooh
In the shadows
ooh,ooh...ooh,ooh
In the shadows

I''ve been waiting.........

Not Like The Other Girls

No more blame I am destined to keep you sane.
Gotta rescue the flame.
Gotta rescue the flame in your heart.

No more blood, I will be there for you my love.
I will stand by your side.
The world has forsaken my girl.

I should have seen it would be this way.
I should have known from the start what she''s up to.
When you loved anf you''ve lost someone.
You know what it feels like to lose.

She''s fading away, away from this world.
Drifting like a feather she''s not like the other girls.
She lives in the clouds she talks to the birds.
Hopeless little one she''s not like the other girls I know.

No more shame, she has felt too much pain, in her life.
In her mind she''s repeating the words.
All the love you put out will return to you.

Still Standing

I wish you were here tonight with me to see the northern lights.
I wish you were here tonight with me.
I wish I could have you by my side tonight when the sky is burning.
I wish I could have you by my side.

Cause I''ve been down and I''ve been crawling.
Won''t back down no more.

Can''t you stop the lies burning from the skies.
Down on me, I''m still standing.
Can''t you roll the dice, I might be surprised.
Conscience clear I''m still standing here.

Burns like a thousand stars, though you''re light years away.
Burns like a thousand stars or more.

You''re up there, you''re always with me.
Smiling down on me.

Something sacred, something so beautiful.
Something quiet to ease my mind.
When the pressure''s taking me over and over.

Cause I''ve been down and I''ve been crawling.
Pushed around, ''n'' always falling.
You''re up there, you''re always with me.
Smiling down on me.


The First Day Of My Life

I feel like I''m stoned, I wanna be alone.
Just for a while unknown.
Weeks on a road a long way from home.
just shut off the phone

And you say, I''ll heal you.
I''ll always be yours.
And you say, I kill you.
If I do something wrong.

Still feels like the first time,
to stand here by your side.
Together regardless.
We walk through the darkness.
Still feels like the first day of my life.

Remember the times, together we swore.
To never give up this life.
Still hanging on, still going strong,
here I belong.

And maybe, I''m crazy.
But I just can''t slow down.
Yeah maybe I''m crazy but at least
I''m still around, yeah, yeah.


The One I Love

Haven''t slept in a week.
My bed has become my coffin.
Cannot breath, cannot speak.
My head''s like a bomb, still waiting.
Take my heart and take my soul.
I don''t need them anymore.

The one I love
is striking me down on my knees.
Drowning me in my dreams.
Over and over again.
Dragging me under.

Hypnoticed by the night.
Silently ricing beside me.
Emptiness, nothingless
is burning a hole inside me.
Take my faith and take my pride.
I don''t need them anymore.

This bed has become my chapel of stone.
A garden of darkness to where I''m thrown.
So take my life, I don''t need it anymore


Time To Burn

Fear of the dark tears me apart.
Won''t leave me alone and time keeps running out.

Just one more life, I''m so sick and tired
of singing the blues, I should turn my life around.

Tell me why do I feel this way.
All my life I''ve been standing on the borderline.
Too many bridges burned.
Too many lies I''ve heard.
I had a life but I can''t go back.
I can''t do that, it will never be the same again.
And I know I don''t
have any time to burn.

They follow me home, disturbing my sleep.
But I''ll find a place, place where they cannot find me.
Maybe I''m lost, and maybe I''m scared.
But too many times I''ve closed the doors behind me.

Leave it all behind.
Cross the borderline.
Face the truth, don''t have any time to...
Don''t have any time to burn.
