The Night Away
See you out there, it's like you'll dance the night
away, But the feelings aren't too good because you need to lead the way,
You call them friends, but now to you they have no air to breath, And when
the time is right you know you'll have to have the final say Music makes
you feel good, so why make it a drag, Too boots, the fist, the stance,
you're out to win a loser's game, How hard is it, to take them, when size
is on your side, Too blind to see, it's just a shame, when music's played
in vain, Big man with mean face now, are you bigger than you seem, Find
time to push around, and bring it down, until there's nothing left Our
music and our message, out of love more than exists Are you there to hear
it stop now, are you there to see it end But it happens and it happens,
and we can not be afraid, There's so many still who give a damn, but the
good ones always seem to fade, Is our future in the hands of those who
dance the night away, Or are you with me as I sing this song, cause we've
got more to say Take a look around, do you see what's goin' down, Take
a look around, don't pretend it's not goin' down
New Wind
Excuse me, just wait one sec, have you ever really
listened to a thing we've said, You're not convinced that we could ever
be a major force, But just another youth subculture with a different song,
But for others, there's this other side, not really looking for some credit
for the things we've tried Communication, it could work so fast, Just cuz
now you say it's over, does that make it past We could be the new wind,
oh, oh! We could be the new wind, Do you know, do you care?
We could be the new wind, oh, oh? We could be the new wind, Will
you try, will you dare? A simple dream, no, not just that, can you
just appreciate there's something we must find, I'm not a "punker," just
a human being, with this urge to exercise, What's in my heart and mind,
It's not me hiding, from reality, pretend that I can shine it, turn around
and walk away, The contradiction, seems to follow you, assuring that there
is really nothing we can't do.
Somebody Help Me Scream
I know I've cried so many times, by far I've had
some doubts, And faces, faces, faces change, but still I have to shout,
Things have had me worried, will I ever have to be alone, Then closed up
doors push forward, see a side I've never known, oh! Somebody, somebody,
somebody, help me scream Somebody, somebody, somebody, Help! Me! Scream!
Someone there to drown the fire, but a passion bonds a solid link Heartbeat,
heartbeat, heartbeat, skipping faster as I sink. Is this a stay of
dedication, when it's time to bail out, Tell me is that what life is all
about, Oh!
Tied Up In Rhythm
Busy with this special thing that takes me far
away, Living for the music if the spirit's gone, why did it fade.
I see you every once in a while, so little I can say, I know how things
have gone for you, you seem so far away. Tied up, tied up in rhythm,
that's my crime to you! And everything keeps getting tied up, tied
up so tight, I don't know why. You walked beside me, every step,
until a dream had found, A spot that drove me harder, and harder I keep
pushing on, I hope you won't forget me, the way I treated you, Until I
slow down a bit, I don't know what to do. Dear shadow does it seem
I've let you down, Say lonesome, I never meant to let you down, I'm sorry,
I've taken for granted you'd be around.
Grown Apart
It's hard to tell you how I feel, exactly what
do I say, These feelings from within for now, they just get in my way,
It seems that lately for some reason, we've been torn apart, A bond so
strong at one point, has it been blown away, I'm gonna say this now and
I won't hold back, Have our hearts grown apart, do we still have a chance?
Do we still have those hopes and dreams? And then I feel like giving
in, forgetting what's been said, Pretend like things are just the way,
they were when we were young, To share emotions we have shared, in friendship,
brotherhood.
Man Enough To Care
Daddy always told you, do it like a man, never
get too friendly, some won't understand, friends have got you in on all
those "hard" things that they've planned, All your life they told you,
never shed a tear, cuz boys don't crave affection, Boys ain't got no fear,
But did they ever show you how to shut those feelings on then off again
And now you gotta hide yourself, hide yourself away, Show you care and
you might show the world that you're only gay, Crying is for babies, for
boys is it a sin, To be a caring, sharing, loving, human one Handshake
show you're friendly, but don't get caught, You gotta fight to prove you're
not afraid, fuck just to prove you're not, And all your life you play this
game and it goes on and on and on and on, Now you've grown into a man,
proud as hell to be, It's now your turn to raise a son, don't let him be
one, And you can teach him all the things you were taught yourself.
Opinion Of Feelings
He said, "Come along, that urge has come again
and now I'm feeling strong", Expectations of you, don't care is you want
to want along, Love for those who make it without knowing how another feels,
The fact is, what you do is rape, it never crossed your mind before, An
opinion of feelings It's just pride, no real depth, Opinion of feelings,
Do those feelings mean anything at all He's pulled you down, he's taking
aim, you wonder what he's waiting for, And he may get his way this time,
but will he ever change your mind, A sharp resentment, guilt, deep pain,
all this in the act of love, And now you're just a victim of his gain,
a selfish game.
The Inside
Through troubled times, news of hatred, death and
war, Find signs of an end, but it may just seem to be okay, And I'm not
alone, when I say I feel enough to think, I know there's dark in all things
so I find the light and struggle on Lead me with a grip so tight, I'll
move ahead, I'll break the path, I'll cross the line, and still reach out,
Wash my mind or stab my back but spirit stays my friend, You can not sway
what's on the inside Messin' around, but if it feels like serious, I fall
to the ground, And I pick myself up, so I can face th days, Learn on my
own but I get so much from things I see these days, Vivid, so clear, I
can't see why it's hard to understand.
Calendar
I just got back to routine, it goes from day to
day, I've got this sneaky feeling, gets closer as we play, After months
and months of planning, hard work to hit the road, No sense of "security"
you get when you're at home, And just for you, there is a calendar, not
just a need for the time But just cause you're on my mind, It's made of
days, this simple calendar, But it feels like years going by, where do
I cry I've rearranged my whole life, such things are hard for two, But
still the music keeps me going and my heart is set on you, We see so many
faces, do cities look the same, I'll take this voyage anyway, and hope
someday you'll go.
Expect To Change
I keep thinking each and every day. Have
I really made a difference, have I made things change? In all these
years of "growing up," and "standing strong," Has it made a single dent
with all that is so wrong? But if I haven't done a thing for world
affairs, At least I know I try and I'll show that I care. Cause it's
me that has to make an effort, Or what can I expect to change. That's
where it starts, in myself, Not just shifting all the blame. And
as I'm growin' older, I can see the changes. Yet history ain't history
at all it seems, I try to keep my head held high, eyes open wide, And growing
keeps me learning, yeah it keeps me free. What have you got to think
that time will stop for you?
Still Believe
I guess the others turned their backs on what they
now call shit, It doesn't really matter cause it's their words I forget,
If 'core is dead, they've moved along and now they're rockin' out, But
I have doubts they ever knew just what it's been about But I still believe,
I still believe, believe in myself. But I still believe, I still
believe, believe in myself. Watch them bite and claw now as they
line up on the rack, A method to success and now there ain't no looking
back, They're playing better music with a message aimed at other crowds,
And they don't include a lyrics sheet cause what they say ain't proud An
empty pedatal and all these "heroes," where'd they, go! go! go! When
I find myself a hero, I'll be sure to let you know.
Put These Words To Music
I always think about you, alone or with the band,
Just having something very special now, can it last very long? Do
you doubt just how I feel, can you tell that it's for real? Just
sharing certain feelings we all know, The truth down from within Listen,
but I can only show you, at times it's so hard with words, We've gone this
far and made it work, You've got to know, that part is true, Can you tell,
that what I say, comes from my heart, it's taken time, To put these words
to music, I don't mind You seem to doubt my sincerity, I'm hoping that
you see, Just try to look much deeper, then you'll know just how I feel,
Will you try to understand, sometimes I may get out of hand, But knowing
that you're by my side.
Just One Day
I'm not sorry, cause I started growing and I'm
pushing on. And I know I cannot turn it back or turn away!
So many feelings moving faster as I live from day to year, It seems that
now I live a lifetime in a day Stand by my side, I know it's hard cause
we're afraid, I know I am. Please understand, it's time to grow more
than you know.
Just a part of the same old story, it seems so old, But
tell me why I can't take hold I can't explain! Words go through my
head and I ache for ways to see I guess this madness is the answer, I'm
afraid! This music from my heart, is it so different from before,
it may seem so, But it's just music from my heart. Just! One! Day!
