Number One

Is there really any other way to live
We run and we run and we run, till we’re all strung out
You can’t cheat a man who always keeps on fighting
I never ever wanna let my own self down
Just when I think I did my best
There quickly comes another test
And I’m thinking, am I the only one
Who never gives into the chase
Or settles down for second place
And I’m thinking, that I’m number one
Number one
You’re caught up in the heat of the spotlight
But you’re alright
Do your heroes ever show you, show you the way
I’m pushing hard for the making of tomorrow
But I am pushing harder for the making of today
Just when I think I did my best
There quickly comes another test
And I’m thinking, am I the only one
Who never gives into the chase
Or settles down for second place
And I’m thinking, that I’m number one
Number one
Just when I think I did my best
There quickly comes another test
And I’m thinking, am I the only one
Who never gives into the chase
Or settles down for second place
And I’m thinking, that I’m number one
Number one

Don't Need To Fall
04:14

She told me all about her situation
She told me all about the complications
Of what she’s been going through
And I told her if she’s looking for another lover
That shit just won’t fly with me
I told her there was more to us than we can see
I should be loving you
Don’t need to be falling
Don’t need to be falling
In love with you
I told her all about my situation
I told her all about the complications
Of what I was going through
Don’t need to be falling
But I think I should be falling
In love with you
Don’t need to be falling
But I think I could be falling
In love with you
I told her that she’s looking like the kind of lover
That has a soul that fits with me
And I told her there is more to us than we can see
I could be loving you
Don’t need to be falling
But I think I should be falling
In love with you
Don’t need to be falling
But I think I could be falling
In love with you
Don’t need to be falling
But I think I could be falling
In love with you

Feeling
03:24

Just a year ago, you said you were headed to California
Where beaches warm and golden sun and Hollywood good nights
But you lost a feeling, was it there at all
Now you live at home, stranded with your parents
And a broken TV set is what you get procrastinate
But you lost a feeling, was it ever there at all
Cause you lost a feeling, was it ever there at all
Cause you lost a feeling, oh well
Oh well
Places talked of, people thought of
Where are they now
Where are they now
Was it there at all
Sweet dreams are memories
And are we holding on just to never again, never again, waste them
Sweet dreams are memories and are we holding on just to never again waste them
Oh well
Places talked of, people thought of
Places talked of, people thought
Where are they now
Where are they now
Was it there at all

Have Mercy

Take a good long look at what you see in the mirror
Does it feel good to be you
Are you living life
Or do you have a crippled mind
All that’s left to say, is each day is up to you
Maybe it’s time for me
Maybe it’s time for you
To make a change in the pattern
Take in one last look, and see the bridges burn behind you
Does it feel good to be you
Cause every saint has a past, and a sinner has a future
All that left to say, is each day is up to you
Maybe it’s time for me
Maybe it’s time for you
To make a change in the pattern
Maybe it’s time, we bridge the divide
And come together for the better of mankind
Maybe it’s time, we unite the divine
And be the change in the pattern
Kyrie Eleison
God have mercy on our souls, God have mercy on our souls
Can you forgive us, forgive us, forgive us for what we don’t know
God have mercy on our souls, God have mercy on our souls
Can you forgive us, forgive us, forgive us for what we don’t know
Can you open your eyes and see the love that surrounds you
It should feel good to be you
Maybe it’s time, we bridge the divide
And come together for the better of mankind
Maybe it’s time, we unite the divine
And be the change in the pattern
Kyrie Eleison
God have mercy on our souls, God have mercy on our souls
Could you forgive us, forgive us, forgive us for what we don’t know
God have mercy on our souls, God have mercy on our souls
Could you forgive us, forgive us, forgive us for what we don’t know
God have mercy on our souls, God have mercy on our souls
Could you forgive us, forgive us, forgive us for what we don’t know
God have mercy on our souls, God have mercy on our souls
Could you forgive us, forgive us, forgive us for what we don’t know

Wayside
03:46

I should have left well enough alone
Now I’m picking up the pieces of what I used to
Love, couldn’t change, couldn’t give in enough
To even make her see, how much she meant to me
It just wasn’t meant to be
Well I’m moving on from you
I left your memory by the wayside
The love's gone by the wayside
Well you’re moving on from me
You left our memory by the wayside
The loves gone
By the wayside, by the wayside
Should have left a long long time ago
But now I’m moving on and letting go you don’t owe me
No, I’m gonna be the better version for me
I guess I wasn’t what you wanted, a broken promise to me
And now you’re leaving, ain’t no more sense in grieving
Well I’m moving on from you
I left your memory by the wayside
The loves gone by the wayside
You’re moving on from me
You left our memory by the wayside
The love’s gone by
The love’s gone
By the wayside
The love’s gone
By the wayside
Well I’m moving on from you
I left your memory by the wayside
The loves gone by the wayside
Well you’re moving on from me
You left our memory by the wayside
The loves gone
By the wayside, by the wayside

Typical Thoughts
03:37
|
|||
|
Gotta look to where we've been
To have a clue where we are going
For so many ask advice
But very few of us tune in, oh no, no, no
Do you got a million things on the brain
And has it taken over you
Maybe it's time you realize
There's things we've all had to struggle through
Your self respect should never be taken away
You should hold on to that til your dying day
Now with having that piece of mind
No one can tell you who you should be
The very thing that made us blind
Could damn well make us see
It could damn well
Typical types of thoughts to have
When you’re losing sight and losing drive
Typical types of thoughts to have
You're not losing fight and losing your mind
Typical types of thoughts to have
When you’re losing sight and losing drive
Typical types of thoughts to have
You're not losing, your mind
Are you feeling like giving up the ghost because another one broke the heart
Cut so deep they can see you, painted black in the dark
You shouldn’t let things get you so down
Living obsessing on love that didn't come around
You're not losing, your mind
You're not losing, your drive
You're not losing, your mind
You're not losing, your mind
You're not losing, not losing your mind
Typical types of thoughts to have
When you’re losing sight and losing drive
Typical types of thoughts to have
When you’re losing fight and losing your mind
Typical types of thoughts to have
When you’re losing sight and losing drive
Typical types of thoughts to have
You're not losing the fight or losing your mind

Eden
03:20

We simply can’t live in Eden anymore
The God in him, is God in you, and God in me, is God in her
We simply can’t live in Eden anymore
Don’t you see
We simply can’t live in Eden anymore
The only way of living is to ride straight through the eye of the storm
We simply can’t live in Eden anymore
We’ve been thrust into the world, now it’s time for us to become one
And it’s time for us to become one with the Son
The God in him, is God in you, and God in me, is God in her
God is love, don’t you see
That we’re all one
And it’s time for us to become one with the Son
We simply can’t live in Eden anymore
Just like Cain as the drifter
We must to kill that part of us all
There’s no need for endless suffering
We focus too much on the outer
Not enough on what it means
To believe and to see
That it’s time for us to become one with the Son
The God in him, is God in you, and God in me, is God in her
God is love, don’t you see
That we’re all one
And it’s time for us to become one with the Son
We simply can’t live in Eden anymore
We simply can’t live in Eden anymore
Don’t you see
That it’s time for us to become one with the Son

Mirror Mirror

Everyone in town has their own version
Each little story of what went wrong
All the lines they’re selling
I’ve gotten used to being wrong
What’s the latest news on my condition?
Small town talk always seems so damn long
As for relationship status
I’ve gotten used to being alone
Mirror mirror can you help me
Turn me back to who I used to
Mirror mirror I so dare you
Take your shattered pieces
Come make me whole again
Holding back the time was your profession
How quickly two years come and go my dear
All the time escapes me
The day the king lost his throne
Mirror mirror can you help me
Turn me back to who I used to
Mirror mirror I so dare you
Take your shattered pieces
Come make me whole again
Mirror mirror can you help me
Take your shattered pieces
Come make me whole again

Moment In Time
03:36
|

|
It was just a moment in time
We didn’t have a reason or rhyme
Maybe our timing could have been better
Or maybe it was right on time
You shined a light on this broken soul
Opened a door and gave me a reason to let go
Of all the pain, from what is lost, what is said, what is done and what is gone
And I’ve let it go
You lift my soul up to a higher ground
You make me feel like I am found
It’s like I know you from before
You have given me shelter from the storm
All I know is that holding you felt right
I didn’t want to let go that night
We didn’t want to let go that night
You lift my soul up to a higher ground
You made me feel like I am found
You lift my soul up to a higher ground
You made me feel like I am found
It was just a moment in time
We didn’t have a reason or rhyme
Maybe our timing could of better
Or maybe it was right on time

Fact Of The Matter
04:44
|

|
Gone...
Oooh...
You deserve much better than me
Well I deserve much better than you
But the fact of the matter is you’re long, long gone
You’re always playing the victim blaming everyone else for the problems inside your head
But the fact of the matter and the fact of the matter is you’re long, long, gone
You’re long, long, gone
I only wish my heart could mend
Because I’ve long since lost my lover my friend
And I never wish to hold you again
Because our past just had to come to an end
You’re long, long, gone
Can’t stand to see you killing yourself by drinking away your pain
And the fact of the matter is you’re long, long, gone
Just amazed that you’re so far away from the center of my world
But the fact of the matter and the fact of the matter is you’re long, long, gone
I only wish my heart could mend
Because I’ve long since lost my lover my friend
And I never wish to hold you again
Because our past just had to come to an end
You’re long, long, gone
Long gone
I only wish my heart could mend
Because I’ve long since lost my lover my friend
And I never wish to hold you again
Because our past just had to come to an end
You’re long, long, gone
I guess the fact of the matter is you’re long, long, gone
You’re long, long, gone
I guess the fact of the matter and the fact of the matter is you’re long, long, gone

Fear
02:57

Fear, fear, fear
Fear is more than shadows on the wall
Creatures in the hall
The stars eat the moon or the park after dark
Fear
Fear, fear, fear
Fear is more than shadows on the wall
Creatures in the hall
The stars eat the moon or the park after dark
I can’t help it when I get those visions in my eyes
Every time you touch me I taste chemicals inside
Wrapping all your fear around me, take out all your anger on me
Fear, fear, fear
Fear is more than whispers in the dark
The grave by the park
Howl in the night at the moon and the stars
When my spirit leaves my body
And gives into the night
Blood and water come to order
Senses won’t deny
Put your lips up you can taste it
The fear is now so don’t you waste it
Fear, fear, fear
Fear is more than whispers in the dark
The grave by the park
Howl in the night at the moon and the stars
Fear
When my spirit leaves my body
And gives into the night
Blood and water come to order
Senses won’t deny
Put your lips up you can taste it
The fear is now so don’t you waste it
Fear, fear, fear
Fear is more than whispers in the dark
The grave by the park
Howl in the night at the moon and the stars
Fear

Acid Rain
04:14

Whoa, whoa, it ends tonight
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Mother earth's eulogy
Here lies everything that use to be
Human race buried in its empathy
And a casket full of fools thought brave
So it came, prophet man
Rockets fill the sky turn cloud to flame
Those survived endured acid rain
When water cost more than gold
It seems the race to rich is bleak
Don’t obey the mice that lead you through the streets
Don’t let evil endure
Or ignore
And don’t forget what you’re fighting for
Slow to burn, fast to break
Build and build and build the towered home
City lights burn out, but not alone
Shared terror amongst friends it seems
The world it bleeds, again
Don’t obey the mice that lead you through the streets
Don’t let evil endure
Or ignore
And don’t forget what you’re fighting for
Don’t obey the mice that lead you through the streets
Don’t let evil endure
Or ignore
And don’t forget what you’re fighting for
Whoa, whoa, it ends tonight
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Could this be
Could this be
Could this be
Could this be
Could this be the
Could this be the end?

Funeral Party
02:54

|
There’s a party tonight
With so many people
No one dressed in white tonight
But the box by the steeple
It’s not what you would call a going away party
But I’ll see you tonight, conversation and coffee
We better have fun here tonight
Because no one here gets out alive
Better angels we are
When we find the laughter
Some bridges burn long, so long
Some fires burn faster
It’s not what you would call a going away party
But I’ll see you tonight, conversation and coffee
We better have fun here tonight
Because no one here gets out alive
We better have fun here tonight
Because no one here gets out alive
Tell my mother, all the friends that I’ve made
Baby sister, bring roses to my grave
And my brother, best man of my life
I’m with father, last party of our lives
We better have fun here tonight
Because no one here gets out alive
