Apartment 5F
Jackhammers outside my window woke me up again
today. And all the voices in my head, well it's so hard to make them
go away. Staying out all night, looking for something I'll never
find. I'm fighting with myself and I'm losing control of my mind.
I reached out in anger. I reached out in love. I lived a life
of self abuse. I prayed to the heavens above. Jackhammers outside
my window woke me up again today. And all the voices in my head,
well it's so hard to make them go away. Looking for some new stimulation,
but all of these things they never last. I know I have to move forward,
but I keep holding on to the past. I just wanna be happy (Whoa) with
the way things are (Whoa). I just wanna look up at the sky at night
(Whoa) and appreciate the stars (Whoa). Destruction leaves an empty
space. In emptiness again, I begin to create. Feeling good
again now, in some new kind of way. Feeling good again now...
Kids And Heroes
Hey where have you gone? You used to be the
one that we looked up to. It seemed like nothing could break you
down. How high was your price and was it worth it? Nothing
in life is a sure bet anyway. You're gone. I guess you weren't
here from the start. In the end, it's all a question of heart.
Hey where have you gone? You used to be the one that we looked up
to. It seemed like nothing could break you down. How high was
the price and was it worth it? Nothing in life is a sure bet anyway.
You're gone. I guess you weren't here from the start. In the
end, it's all a question of heart. Hey where did it go, everything
we fought for and everything it meant? Maybe we were just naive,
but I still believe. There are only a few things that really belong
to me. Who I am, who I was, and who I want to be... who I want to
be. Hey where have I gone? I used to be the one looking for
the hero in some far off place, blindly ever forward. Never knowing
all along, the truth was right here in my own song.
New Day
People tell me they wake up every day, wondering
if they'll be here tomorrow. I say live for today cause everything
you have is just borrowed. No progress made just sittin' around.
T.V.'s selling bullshit by the pound. Things stay the same.
Are you afraid to ask why? Fight to live... or are you waiting to
die? Are you waiting to die? Hey. Change is coming our
way (Ahh)... just like a new day (Ahh). Change is coming our way
(Ahh)... just like... just like a new day (Ahh). Change is coming
our way (Ahh)... just... just like... just like a new day (Ahh).
Change is coming our way (Ahh)... just like... just like a new day (Ahh).
These borrowed days, they come and go. We live on, reaping what we
sow. Terror from the darkness of our minds. The self-destruction
of mankind. And we'd all like to see some change, but the shit it
falls like rain. We sit and watch the world turn grey. What's
the point here anyway? Change is coming our way (Ahh)... just like
a new day (Ahh). Change is coming our way (Ahh)... just like... just
like a new day (Ahh). Change is coming our way (Ahh)... just like...
just like a new day (Ahh). Change is coming our way (Ahh)... just
like... just like a new day (Ahh).
Sing Along Forever
I'm driving, listening to my radio. Checking
out the airwaves for something to believe in. Give me something to
hold true. Give me something to sing about. Give me a reason
to care, I'll sing along forever. Watered down words covered in song,
trying to hide the truth that life is beautiful and life is pain.
Give it to me straight, touch my heart. I'll sing along forever.
I'll sing along forever. I'll sing along forever. I'm driving,
listening to my radio. Checking out the airwaves for something to
believe in. Give me something to hold true. Give me something
to sing about. Give me a reason to care, I'll sing along forever.
Give it to me straight, touch my heart. I'll sing along forever.
Born Free (Watch "Bowling For Columbine")
Fear is in the air. That's the way they want
it to be. "Don't trust your friends or neighbors. Everyone's
your enemy." Kidnapped children on t.v. Fear runs through the
family. They'll put a chip in your arm keeping track of where you
are. With all of this technology, have we come so far? It's
easy to get lost, forget who you are. Don't forget that you are born
free. It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees.
People are so greedy, it's almost funny. How many ways can they ruin
lives for money? I see no choice but enjoy the truth in life in the
middle of all this deceiving and the strife. A nation's future stands
in doubt. Peace and love are on the way out. Why can't they
just let me be? How I live is up to me. Don't forget that you
are born free. It's better to die on your feet than to live on your
knees. We get the message loud and clear, but we refuse to live in
fear. We get the message loud and clear, but we refuse to live in
fear.
Inside Out
It's incredible how we try to be a part of something.
It's amazing how we feel alone when we're never separate. It's so
funny how we weave a web of our own destruction, then we find in the end
we fought so hard to be a part of something. To feel someone beside
you (Whoa) is beautiful in life (Whoa). But to feel a wholeness inside
is the greatest feeling (Whoa). There is nothing that can take that
away (Whoa). We're never alone. We're never alone. We're
never alone. We're never alone. It's incredible how we try
to be a part of something. It's amazing how we feel alone when we're
never separate. It's so funny how we weave a web of our own destruction,
then we find in the end we fought so hard to be a part of something.
To feel someone beside you is beautiful in life. But to feel a wholeness
inside is the greatest feeling of all... all.
Simple Man
I see lives crash like waves on the shore again
and again in an endless cycle of joy and pain. Inside one day your
whole life can change. Innocence torn away. Trust gives way
to a thicker skin. A shield from the pain? Or a trap that keeps
it all in. They tried to break me down... I had to break away.
I woke up from that nightmare to start another day. Whoa. Whoa.
I wanna be a simple man, with a little peace of mind. Live a simple
life in a place that's kind. I wanna be a simple man, with a little
peace of mind. Live a simple life in a place that's kind. I
see lives crash like waves on the shore again and again in an endless cycle
of joy and pain. No poetry, no symmetry. Nothing left inside
of me. What happened to that feeling of invincibility? Broken
up, caught under the load. Broken down by the side of the road.
They tried to break me down, I had to break away. I woke up from
that nightmare to start another day. Whoa. Whoa. I wanna
be a simple man, with a little peace of mind. Live a simple life
in a place that's kind. I wanna be a simple man, with a little peace
of mind. Live a simple life in a place that's kind.
Better Days (Dedicated to the Brokenhearts
Brigade -S.D.)
What do you do when she don't love you anymore?
What do you do when she won't hold you anymore? Living in sin, now
you're all alone again. She's having a change of heart. Without
a word everything just falls apart. What do you do when she don't
love you anymore? What do you do when she won't hold you anymore?
Two lovers walking through life together. Tender kisses and all the
sweet things they used to say. Memories from better days. Memories
from better days. Everything we built, everything that I believed
in... just some old fashioned fantasy. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Night Train
Goodbye to me and you. Goodbye to the life
we knew. One last long embrace. Let go and walk on through.
I'm leaving everything behind for a peace that I can't find, the ghosts
that roam this house like winter air right through our souls. And
it feels like dying. It just feels like time to go. Going down
south to dream another dream. Maybe check out Memphis, Tennessee.
Take the night train and an extra pair of jeans. Can't think of anything
else I really need. And all my experiences ride with me. This
town, it is dead to me. And I, I can't stop chasing my dreams.
I love you more than anything, but what you want I could never be.
I love you more than anything, but only alone can we both be free.
Goodbye to me and you. Goodbye to the life we knew. Wipe the
tears from your eyes. Let go and walk on through.
Todd's Song (For our friend Todd Eckhardt)
I grab into my six pack and raise a can to another
fallen friend. The news came on the phone today. Did you know
you weren't alone? I'll see you when we all come home. With
a heart so big that you can't hide. You took the path of a slow suicide.
And all those feelings that you had, they killed you from the inside.
I'll see you when we all come home. With a heart so big that you
can't hide. And all those things that you can't keep inside.
I can't say that I don't understand, I know you tried. I'll see you
when we all come home.
Blind Date
I wish that you could see the you that I see.
Not some bullshit glamour fantasy. Put down those magazines and see...
see a real beauty... see a real beauty... see a real beauty. I wish
that you could see the glory that I see, shining like the winter sun.
I wish that you could see... see the true glory... see the true glory...
see the true glory. Wish there was something I could do to make you
see. Wish there was something I could say, but you won't hear me.
I guess there's some things that I, I can't explain. Some things
that I, I could never change. I read your thoughts in your eyes when
you look at me (Whoa). I see the real you when you smile. I
see the real beauty (Whoa)... I see the real beauty... I see the real beauty.
Highway Kings
Sitting here drinking again. Thinking back
on how simple it used to be. Can it ever be that way again?
I'm drinking this one to my friends. Looks like they'll be here till
the end... till the bitter end. What are dreams for anyway, without
the guts to live your life that way? We are the highway kings, chasing
our destinies. Crusing through a time zone as the world stands still.
Harvest moon in a desert sky. Makin' good time as we pass it by.
Wherever this road takes us, it was meant to be. We're already home.
What are dreams for anyway, without the guts to live your life that way?
What are dreams for anyway, without the guts to live your life that way?
Learned to let go of the things we can't control. Left 'em behind
and followed rock and roll. We found a new way of life (Whoa), forever
till the end of time, but never getting old (Whoa)... never getting old
(Whoa).
Anchors Aweigh
Anchors aweigh my friends, I'll see you another
day. I'm going away. Experiences have to come and the past
has got to go back into our dreams... back into our dreams. Anchors
aweigh my friends. Everybody understands that good times, that good
times come and they go. And together we will always flow back into
our dreams... back into our dreams. And our troubles, we can't leave
them behind. But the wind blows, and blows them all away. And
the road goes and takes them all away... back into our dreams.
I Get Lost
I don't want to do anything to prove myself to
you. I don't want to be something I'm not. Every time I try,
every time I chase something that's wrong or right... I get lost in my
mind. I get lost in that lie. I get lost with the idea I have
something to prove. All I have to do is make my way. Make the
best of whatever comes my way... whatever comes my way... hey, whatever
comes my way... hey, whatever comes my way. I don't want anything
this world can give me. A lot of stuff makes me feel so empty.
Every time I try, every time I chase something I want from you... I get
lost in my mind. I get lost in that lie. I get lost with the
idea I have something to lose. All I have to do is make my way.
Make the best of whatever comes my way... whatever comes my way... hey,
whatever comes my way... hey, whatever comes my way... hey, whatever comes
my way... hey, whatever comes my way.
The Day I Turned My Back On You
I created this thing in my mind. Looking
at it now I don't see why. I threw away everything I had and "Greener
pastures" is just a lie. I realize all these things now that it's
too late. I guess that's part of the price I gotta pay. I betrayed
myself when I betrayed you. I threw my life away the day I turned
my back on you. I turned and I ran away... I turned and ran away
from the truth... the truth in everything... everything we used to do.
I never had reason to doubt you. I loved everything about you.
If I could just take it back I would. I threw my life away the day
I turned my back on you. Believing my own lies. I lost myself
and I lost everything. If I could just take it back I would.
I threw my life away the day I turned my back on you.
I'm From There
When we were two brothers forever through the dark
and light we had our fights against the world, against each other.
We traveled in the night. So many roads, so many shows together.
Far apart we grew, isolated but still together. When we were two
brothers forever through the dark and light we had our fights against ourselves,
against each other. We were afraid, afraid of so many things.
It was a fight to overcome ourselves and see clearer. We are two
brothers forever through the dark and light. We had our fights against
the world, against each other. Time has opened my heart. I
don't want to hold on to that past. I don't want to live in isolation
anymore. There's nothing left to do but to kiss that life goodbye.
Goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. We are two brothers forever
through the dark and light. We had our fights against ourselves,
against each other. There's nothing left to do but to kiss that life
goodbye. Goodbye. Goodbye. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.
The Fall Song
Leaves fall down around me. They're smashing
off my face like orange and yellow lights. I've entered a new place.
I've walked these streets one thousand times before. I never saw
them this way. A perfect end and a new beginning every step of the
way. Colors seem so much more true, my eyes must be on fire.
I feel each steps vibration stab into my soul. A tornado of light
surrounds me, picks me up off my feet. The world is just a blink
of light. It can't hold me anymore... anymore... anymore... anymore.
