Livin' In Sin

Once again my friends
Storm clouds are rolling in
Broken inside myself
Can't seem to break this trend
Can't break it!

I've seen it all
And I've walked it tall
Lived in this sin
Where do I begin?

Caught between the line
My life of worthless lies
Shedding my skin to begin
A life that I don't know how to live in
I can't take it!

And I've seen it all
And I've walked it tall
Lived in sin
Where do I begin?

I don't know now
Where to go now
I don't know if I'll ever get ahead. no.
It's all broken
Not a word spoken
And I don't know how to go out
God help me now!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And I've seen it all
And I've walked it tall
Lived in sin
Livin' in sin
Livin' in sin
Livin' in sin
Livin' in sin
Where do I begin?




Speak

Free, you better love me.
In time, you'll run away, from all your yesterdays!

Speak the truth, or make your peace some other way ahh yea.
I never knew, but I believe that your trust in me,
Ohh, will speak to me.

In way beyond your controlling mind.
And no more believing all your precious lies!

Speak the truth, or make your peace some other way ahh yea.
I never knew, but I believe that your trust in me.
Oh, will speak to me.
Speak the truth, or make your peace some other way ahh yea.
I never knew, but I believe that your trust in me.
Oh, will speak to me.

Speak the truth, or make your peace some other way ahh yea.
I never knew, but I believe that your trust in me.
Oh, will speak to me.
Speak the truth, or make your peace some other way ahh yea.
I never knew, but I believe that your trust in me.
Oh, will speak to me.

SPEAK!

OH! SPEAK!

SPEAK!

OH SPEAK!

SPEAK!




The Enemy

Hey! Oh, Mr. backstabbing son of a bitch
You're living in a world that will soon be dying
And I know, everybody knows you try to be like me
But even at your best, as a man you couldn't equal half of me

I am realizing, that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that is here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh the enemy!

You! You're another shit talking punk to me
You're living inspiration for what I never wanna be
And I see, you've been blinded by what you believe
And now back up and sit down, shut up and act like you need to be

I am realizing, that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that is here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh the enemy!
Come to me, come to me, the enemy, come to me, come to me

So predicting, you're the reason why
I lie
Simple decision took too much time
To fly
Oh, check me, check me...

I am realizing, that everybody's lost their simple ways
And now that is here, I see it all so clearly
I've come face to face with the enemy, oh the enemy!
Come to me




Shine Down

So tired sleeping through the day
Bloodshot eyes and sweat from my body
And I picked my head up yesterday
Found no reason or hope left inside of me

But I still believe in immortal love
And I know there's someone above

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
Shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground

Haunted silence overwhelming me
Day and Night takes it's toll on my sanity
And I know I've been away too long
All these years I've been hiding
I'm feeling I'm coming strong

But I still believe in immortal love
And I know there's someone that's up above
Show me a path to find my way
And give me a reason to pray

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
Shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground

Shine down, don't take it away from me, no
And I know you know how, yeah
And shine down, just give me a chance to feel it
It's taken forever to get me off the ground
Shine down
Shine down
Oh, shine down
Oh baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shine down
Oh, shine down
Oh, shine down
Oh baby shine down




Hollow

One more step and I could fall away
If it happen wouldn't matter
And I can't tell if I should go or stay
Same old picture feel so hollow
How can anybody know what's best for me?
Another paintjob turned in shape
And my decisions brought me to my knees
I needed someone to blame

I feel so hollow
I feel so hollow
Time to do what's best for me I believe I can change

Once upon a time in broken dreams
Reflection's that I can't face
So hold your breath and make a wish for me
Take me to a better place
Time always seems to be passing by
It never waits for me
If I could do it all one more time
I wouldn't change a thing

I feel so hollow (feel so hollow)
I feel so hollow (feel so hollow)
I feel so hollow (feel so hollow)
I feel so hollow (feel so hollow)
Time to do what's best for me I believe I can change




No Rest For The Wicked

Walk to find line slip the edge, I'm not me
Rise above a suicide, taking it out of me
Got a feeling, it's going far away, yeah
Looking at wounds from yesterday

Gonna fly, taken my time, strip down to nothing
Gonna try, but there's no rest for the wicked

Been through the skin of a dragon a thousand times
In every day I live for you, still I'm not alive
Got a feeling, I'm gonna fall away
Gimme a sign what reason that I should stay

Gonna fly, taken my time, strip down to nothing
Gonna try, but there's no rest for the wicked
Gonna fly, take my time, strip down to nothing
Gonna try, but there's no rest for the wicked

Are you ready to go just to hide in?
Do you think you can make me a better man?
Crack me open, expose me to your ways
Ignorance and arrogance on my way
Oh yea
No rest for the wicked baby!

Gonna fly, take my time, strip down to nothing
Gonna try, but there's no rest for the wicked
Gonna fly, take my time, strip down to nothing
Gonna try, but there's no rest for the wicked




Bleeding Me

Way, way down inside there's a hollow soul
An emptiness shatters tomorrow
And I find it hard to breathe for me in your company
Seems I've been taken for granted

And you're breaking and bleeding me down to nothing
It's tearing me down
You're breaking me and bleeding me down to nothing
Yeah!

Maybe, this time baby it's meant to be
No more suffocating you or me, oh yeah
And I payed the price but you sentencing me to life
And I feel I bought in my time

And you're breaking and bleeding me down to nothing
It's tearing me down
You're breaking me and bleeding me down to nothing
Again

You're breaking me
And bleeding me
Again
You're bleeding me, you're bleeding me

And you're breaking and bleeding me down to nothing
You're tearing me down
You're breaking me and bleeding me down to nothing
You're tearing me, tearing me down again
Tearing me down again
You're breaking me and bleeding me
Bleeding me again




Voodoo Too

(I'm not the one who's so far away)
(I'm not the one who's so far away)

Open your eyes, a chill passes you by
A premenation coming strong
Rich with desire, superstition in disguise
Toss me into where I belong

Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch a fallen sky
Or fly to the heavens that watch over you? Telling me it's all voodoo
Voodoo too

Instill the body, so on with every breath
Dance to a vision so seductive
Rain down upon me, it cleanses me with every drip
A scent you promised for the nurrishment that I've been gifted

Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch a fallen sky,
Or fly to the heavens that watch over you? Telling me it's all voodoo
Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch a fallen sky,
Or fly to the heavens that watch over you? Telling me it's all voodoo
Voodoo too

Voodoo too, it's all voodoo too

Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch a fallen sky
Or fly to the heavens that watch over you, telling me it's all voodoo
Have you ever wondered why in a dream you can touch a fallen sky
Or fly to the heavens that watch over you, telling me it's all voodoo
Voodoo too

It's just voodoo too, it's all voodoo too, it's just what you do.




Temptation

It craws down deep inside
Without a pulse or a will to die
Now i've known the simplifies
And now it takes what it takes
Unless the feeling suffocates
Its nothing new, it'll get it's way
Another thing that i'll see
Is how it gets inside of me
And tears away my life

It's time to love, it's time to hate
It's commin face to face trying to desicrate
No time at all to break away
Temptation still got a hold on me

It's awake even when you sleep
It breathes without a heartbeat
Making me incomplete
And now I know what I know
Expect the demon down below to surface through my moral soul
And now it looks to be smiling as it's killing me
Day to day I lie

It's time to love, it's time to hate
It's commin face to face trying to desicrate
No time at all to break away
Temptation still got a hold on me
It's time to love, it's time to hate
It's commin face to face trying to desicrate
No time at all to break away
Temptation still got a hold on me

It's time to love, it's time to hate
It's commin face to face trying to desicrate
No time at all to break away
Temptation still got a hold on me
It's time to love, it's time to hate
It's commin face to face trying to desicrate
No time at all to break away
Temptation still got a hold on me




Mama

Oh mama what have I gone and done?
With all these years that I've been gone
My life changed me way too fast
I don't know if I could last

Help me find my way, and mama save me
Help me find today, mama please come and save me, oh

Oh mama if you could've only seen
Everything I've done and where I've been
If only one thing I would ask
Why did you let me grow up so goddamn fast?

Help me find my way, and mama save me
Help me find today, mama please come and save me, oh

There's nothing more that you can do
It's gone beyond what you can't help me through
An emptiness has covered me
Oh mama come and save me

Help me find my way, and mama save me
Help me find today, mama please come and save me, oh
Help me find my way, and mama save me
Help me find today, mama please come and save me, oh

There's nothing more that you can do
It's gone beyond what you can't help me through
An emptiness has covered me
Oh mama come and save me
Oh mama come and save
Oh save me... no!
Oh please mama save...




One Rainy Day

Oh man, I'm tired and lonely
Again, why must it be
A man is drowning slowly
And he can't keep above
Gone way to deep, oh yeah

Open skies are falling
Tears are coming down
Like a drop of rain falls to the ocean
And comes back around
One rainy day

Oh so many times I should've crawled when I went running by
And since then I've been left feeling traumatized
Raped and drained of an innocence
A gift we've lost over time
And still I gaze through this one rainy day
Alone with no one by my side

Open skies are falling
Tears are coming down
Like a drop of rain falls to the ocean
And comes back around, yeah
I swear I've given, I've given you all I can
Never will you ever make me feel this way again, oh
On this one rainy day

Hey, open skies are falling
Tears are coming down
Like a drop of rain falls to the ocean
And comes back around
One rainy day
One rainy day
Oh one rainy day
It's been just, one rainy day
