Destroyed In Battle
05:59
|

I fought the greatest
Of my generation
The daily beatings
The night's celebrations
To wield the axe
To ride the steed
The sneak attacks
Blood spilled
Awards received
I knew that day
Was coming fast
Today the hero
Tomorrow the last
Destroyed in battle
I slayed so many
I watched them die
Now it's my turn
Forever here I lie
I watch the sky
Slowly fade from view
I think of life
And what you can't undo
Destroyed In Battle
And is there meaning
In everything I've done?
Defend the people
The battles won
But does it matter
Who rules the world?
We build it up again
Just to watch it all burn
Destroyed in battle
Now I take my last breath
Everything is dim
I say farewell
To this world of sin
Destroyed in battle

The Drifter
04:17

They call me the drifter
I drift from town to town
No friends no family
Nothing to be found
I told her I loved her through the phone (she said she can't do that)
She said I'd be better off alone (I said yeah I can do that baby)
Now the wind cuts in my bones (but I feel nothing now)
Gotta turn my heart into stone (I'm a rock)
I pass by everyday
Nobody looks my way
I keep my eyes to the ground
The drifter can't be found
I choose to drift
Don't need anyone anywhere
No ties to anything
Just me & my teddy bear
Days & nights I wander without stop (even in the rain & snow)
Maybe a bite to eat in a coffee shop (y'know one of those greasy spoons)
I sleep on a bench or a soft patch of grass (or anything really)
Don't care about the future or the past (and another day begins)
Yeah she broke my heart
We're better off apart
And so I drift away
No thought of yesterday
If you see me on the road
In my dirty grey coat
Please pass me by
And don't ask me why
They call me the drifter...

You walked in my office
A feminine mirage
I could see you were packing
Beneath your décolletage
You say you're going crazy
An affair with a married man
You tell me only I can make you stop
And you put your hand on my hand
Tell me the truth
Feed me lies
What can I do
In my disguise
Will you betray
Or will you hide
I'm spying on you
It's the private eye
It's a crime of love
It's a passion
So what's the mystery?
Do you have a clue?
I ask you who do you love
You say you love more than one
A husband a lover and a friend
You tell me you feel loving is fun
You look deep into my eyes
I tell you that I agree
Love is something that comes and goes
If you understand your needs
Tell me the truth...
If it's crazy you are then it's the crazy I like
We live once that's the truth
I can solve your problems it's not a crime
C'mon baby I'm your sleuth
Tell me the truth...
Last scene in the parking lot
Guns out knives displayed
There is no good there is no bad
Everything is a shade of gray
It's not a mystery who done did it
Me & you face to face
In a clinch its a cinch
Looks like we solved the case

Live Right, Go Wrong
03:17
|
|||
|
It's been a while since I heard from you
I asked myself a million times do I want to
'Cause when you call I crush so damn hard
Everything else falls into disregard
When did we this start this love affair?
When did I find out that I don't care?
They tell me there's a line between love & hate
You're a drug for me that intoxicates
When the phone rings I think it's you
My dreams are filled with everything we do
I'm all distracted & sad & confused
There's nothing left but for this abuse
There's a way to live right & a way to go wrong
When do we find out where we belong?
There's a way to live right & a way to go wrong
Our control is so weak when our passion's so strong.
Live right, go wrong
Live right, go wrong
Whenever we're together everything is alright
It's just that it's hard for me to sleep at night
There's trouble found in all the choices we make
We live by a rule that only we create
When the shit comes down things could fall apart
But could we stay together if everything is lost?
We thought it was so simple just a harmless flirt
How long can this go on before someone gets hurt?
There's a way to live right...
Tell the truth about the dreams you have
Tell me about when it all went bad
There is no answer there is no way
Love is lost but everything else is saved
There's a way to live right...
Life is too short not to move along

Burning Memories
01:47
|
|||
|
My mind is full of mist now
Smoke cloud above my head that says forget the past
Nothing matters anyhow
All my hopes and dreams are burning memories
Burning memories
And then it all melts away
I'm left with nothing but a empty fireplace
Reality is here to stay
All my hopes and dreams are burning memories
Burning memories
Another log on the fire
The embers float & flash
Fade away into ash
The smoke & mirrors of desire
I see my former self
Lovers risks left on the shelf
And then another day begins
Soap & water washes everything away from my head
Put on my brave face again
When all my hopes & dreams are burning memories
Burning memories

Running Out Of Love
03:56
|
|||
|
I know that you're sad
Torn up inside
Have I driven you mad?
From all those nights we cried?
Do you think you're running out of love?
If you could only tell me this
I tried to help many times
But you wanted to fight
Uncertainty is not a crime
The same fears night after night
Do you think you're running out of love?
If you could only tell me this
It's not that you don't care
It's not that you don't want me
Sometimes life isn't fair
And the world is so cruel
Do you think you're running out of love?
If you could only tell me this

Hot Moment Of Doom
04:35
|
|||
|
All over the world
From the land to the pearl
They watch us wreck everything
Call it genocide
Call it belief in a lie
It's got a familiar ring
If we can't learn from the past
For a future that lasts
Why believe in the lies?
And now we live in fear
Of how we define
What is civilized
What we say is unacceptable
What we do is imperceptible
We're amazed while we bluster & fume
We believe the unbelievable
We commit the inconceivable
While we wait for our hot moment of doom
We take away our own rights
So some can climb to new heights
The richest authority
We use the laws to push down
All the love that we found
Silent majority
And now we say we can't vote
We can't speak we can't hope
For our humanity
It's clear we want us to die
So we define a new Right
To stroke our vanity
What we say is unacceptable...
There's a goal unspoken
About our country that's broken
And a barbaric son
Is white supremacy
The greatest that we can be
Killing many for the one
While we grow more sicker
Clock's are quickly ticking
On the damage done
What more can we do with this
Call the last witness
End of America
What we say is unacceptable...

Within Our Reach
04:17
|

|
There's an ocean
Full of stars
There's a sky
So very far
There is you
Here with me
There is peace
In between
And all of this is within our reach
Lying next to you on the beach
Holding hands we're not alone
The ripples change with a single stone
And they go on forever and ever
We can stay
Here for now
Only we two
Exist somehow
We believe
That's enough
Harmony
With our love
And all of this is within our reach...
Me & you
Are complete
Here on Earth
Our lips meet
Holding on
With all we feel
Nothing else
Can be real
And all of this is within our reach...

But It's True
02:37

There she is
Lovely thing
In my classes
Is she ready for a fling?
It's true I wanna hold her
It's true I wanna love her
But I can't believe it's true she exists...but it's true
Gotta get to know her
I hope I like her
'Cause beauty is one thing
But being real is another
It's true I wanna...
It's true I believe in love at first sight
It's true that I wanna see her day & night
It's true that I gotta talk to her to see what man she prefers
...and I hope she's not crazy
It's true I wanna...
So I got to know her
Yes it's true
And she's not crazy
No deja vu
I hope she loves me
Like I love her

Written Out
04:01

Well I can remember
When I was a star
Luxury house
Big fancy car
Flashbulbs wherever I went
The crowds they roared
Even loved by the government
I couldn't ask for more
People asked me what I liked
What shirts I wear
Chased me on my motorbike
Follow me everywhere
But now when I should be called to work
The phone it never rings
Sometimes I feel taken out
Killed off moved away
Sometimes I feel written out
In a coma no brain
It's like I was wiped clean
And it's popularity
A total has-been
Forgotten unseen
Yeah something happened
I'm not sure what
My ratings started slipping
I no longer made the cut
No major plot focus
Fewer lines each week
I begged for more attention
But Nielsen called me weak
And now when I should be called to work
The phone it never rings
Sometimes I feel taken out...
I thought I'd live that old rags-to-riches story
But the writers put me in some moral allegory
Now I'm only getting cheap commercial spots
Next time you see me it'll be my mug shot
Then I just disappeared
Right off the show
It's like I was never here
What a way to go
Now nobody ever calls
I'm not recognized
How far did I fall
Nobody to hear me cry
Sometimes I feel taken out...
