MySpace a place for friends

I heard the phone ring today
I answered it and you did say
Do you know who this is
and I knew that it was you

Cause I know that this was no accident
that our paths came together again
Cause I know that everything
happens for a reason

I was saddened to find out
how you feel about me
and the path that you have chosen
to follow now

I am looking for you
and you won't get away
no matter how hard you run
or try to hide

In the Middle of a Yawn (Jaded)

It's hard to put my words into action
when I really have nothing to say
and I can't make it past my front door
It doesn't bother me to tell you
that I'm not really phased
by the things you say

Don't get excited
(It's all the same)
No need to get passionate

When did I become so jaded
When did I become so cold inside
When did I throw my heart away

It's hard to say I care
When it's written all over my face
that my mind is somewhere else
I wish that I could tell you
that the tears falling down your face
make me feel for you

I grab your hand one last time
ignoring the voices in my mind
telling me to run away
cause I need you to fix
this cold, cold man

Doomsday

I had a dream last night that the sky turned red
and the lakes and rivers followed
The air sirens scream for every city
panic spreads world wide as we all realize

that it's over and we have
lived for nothing but ourselves

Wake up this morning
take a look outside my window
and I see the green clouds
and hysterical people running everywhere
This must be the day that I've always dreamed of

People running down the street
It just looks like a party to me

So strike the band and start the parade
It's doomsday and I feel okay
There's something 'bout knowing it's all gonna end
that chases the blues away

It'll take something like this
to bring us to our senses
to bring down the fences
It'll take something like this
to bring us to our knees
to our knees

Unexplained Tragedy

I knew today wouldn't be like the other
days in my life
I got the call today that you went and did that
I could't even believe my ears
Why would you go and pull out that gun
Why would you go and pull the trigger
I have so many questions about the reasons
like why and how but nothing will ever be...

...the same as they were yesterday
You and I will never be the same
You threw away your life
for one fleeting moment in time
Not to mention the destruction that is left behind
in the wake of your evil thoughtless acts
Where does this leave you and me yeah
We'll never see you again

I will never see you again
nothing will ever be...

We will never see you again
We will never see you again
We will never see you face-to-face

Right of Passage

You've been pushing me around
for the last three years
If you think that I'm just gonna stand here
and take it, you're wrong
Today's a new day; a day of reckoning
Consider this your warning
cause I will take her from your
self-absorbed world into a world of
safety and perfect harmony
and safety and perfect harmony
and safety and perfect harmony

I see you standing over there
and I know that there is only one way out of here
I catch your stare and it sends
chills down my spine
and now you know that there is only
one way out of here

You gotta stand up and fight to get out of here alive
You're standing in the way of the one that I want
and tonight I am taking her away

I see her lying on the floor
I hope that she's okay
or it's all in vain
I kneel down beside her
and whisper in her ear
Take my hand and go with me
we're gonna be okay

You gotta stand up and fight to get out of here alive
You're standing in the way of the one that I want
and tonight I took her away
So I stood up and fought and got out of here alive
I'm standing here with the one that i want
and tonight I am taking her away

I close my eyes
and get lost in the moment of my dreams
Standing here with her the world is just a blur
I will be with her tonight and hold her tight
until the end of time forever and ever

Three Cheers to You

Three cheers to you
You've made it through
the two worst months of your life so far
and tonight we drink to you
and all that you've been through
don't ever hang your head again

This song goes out to all the bleeding hearts
the beatdown and the broken
and tonight we raise our glasses high to a new life

Here's to hopin' that you never go back
to that place that feels like hell
Here's to holding on; to never letting go
to that place that feels so good

You don't ever have to feel this way
Don't let anyone tell you differently

Reflection

I look in your eyes
(you see me better than I see me)
as the light hits them
(you know me better than I know me)
I see a reflection; It's me that I see
When I look in your eyes, you know what it seems

It seems like looking in your eyes
is like looking in a mirror
I can see how much I
need to change and be complete

I stand in front of you and wonder
if time has started standing still
if I could only freeze this moment
and stay here in it forever with you

I need you more than ever
(cause never will ever be better)
I'm beat down and broken yeah
Fill me up till I am running over
cause I know that you are the only one

and stay here with you forever with you

Flying Away

Won't you come and take me away
just for a moment
Take me from this place; I long to be with you
Take me through the clouds and past the stars
to a place I long to be far away with you

Flying away, I can touch you
You wrap your arms around me
Don't be scared, you'll say
You are with me
I'll always be right here with you

I walk down the long hallway
turning the corner
I am blinded by the light
as I get closer and closer
The anticipation builds
to finally meet you face to face
Oh the journey has been hard
but you have been there all along

Flying away, I can touch you
You wrap your arms around me
Don't be scard, you'll say
I am with you
You'll always be right here with me

We are together now
I want to be where you are
cause when I am with you
this world seems so far away

Flying away, I can touch you
You wrap your arms around me
Don't be scared, you'll say
We are with you
I'll always be right here with you

Self-created City

I sit in a dark, dark room
and old light hangs above my head
An officer walks in and pours me a glass of water
He presses record on an old beat up tape recorder
He begins with asking me if I am ready to talk

But he knows that my answers will be the same
as they were an hour ago
He asks me if I'm crazy and I say
that there is a metropolis in my head

Walkin' around in the streets of my head
is like walkin' in downtown L.A.
Mass hysteria reigns in the streets of my
self-created city yeah
We know that there are no
red dragons climbing sky scrapers

If he knew what was going on inside of me
he'd take me down for sure
because my mind is complicated at best
and psychotic and sadistic at the worst

I'm the yin and you're the yang
and I'm the yin and you're the yang
We have to exist to maintain the balance
We have to exist
To destroy the city is to kill me right now
To destroy the city is to kill me right now
kill me right now
kill me right now yeah

Sunday Drive

We climb into the car
I buckle up as you start the engine
I hope that you're not taking me
where you took me last time
Cause I know that you know
that your only intention
is to hurt me and take me
where I don't want to go

We go speeding out of control
towards the hair pin curve
We are going ninety miles an hour
as you hit the brakes
We go plummeting over the edge of the cliff
as I hold my breath
as the sound of broken glass
and twisted metal fill the air

and I am trapped as the flames begin to climb
and it all comes real in time
that this is what you've always wanted all along

The heat is intense
The pain from the broken glass
and twisted metal against my face
is unbearable
I open up my eyes for one last look around
I see you staring back at me
It is now that I know the truth
It is now that I know the truth
about the way you feel about me

As I die you stand there as I reach out my hand
and you can't even say one last word to me
as the air passes from my lungs
and all I see is black
and I realize that this is what you wanted all along

Surround

A memory surrounds me of a better time
when you were here with me
and I walked close to you
A memory surrounds me of a brighter time
and it reminds me how
times are so much darker now

and I can't help but wonder right now
will it ever be the same

and I can't fight you anymore
finally giving in
finally giving in to your love

A memory surrounds me
and I'm overwhelmed by you
I feel you inside my heart
gently taking over
It's like you're beside me taking all the pain inside
washing all the stains
until all that's left is purity

I can't help but wonder
will I ever be the same

and I can't fight you anymore
finally giving in
finally giving in to your love

Tough Love

She's a middle-class debutant
ready to spread her wings
and fall in the arms of the man of her dreams
They met each other in a smoke filled ballroom
twenty-four hours ago
now she's in love, so in love
she doesn't even know her last name

She's got a future and stong ambitions
He's got a sweet tooth for certain sensations
and tonight they will share one night of passion
But in the morning she will learn
her darkest of lessons that...

love don't come in leather jackets
It don't come in little packets

She needs him desperately
but he's nowhere to be found
little does she know that she's
another trophy in his trophy case
The only thing that's left
is a little reminder with his eyes
It's not your fault
that your mother never told you that...

love don't come in leather jackets
It don't come in little packets
Love no longer holds its magic
Love's gone oh so tragic

Unexplained Conclusion

I thought today would be just like the other days
until I got the letter from your cell
It's hard to think of heaven when all you have is hell

Don't let the past hold you back
from what you have in front of you
no matter what you have done

I wish you could have seen the smile on my face
I read each line reminding me of a better place
All of those things that we had cannot be erased
