Feel like I'm stoned
wanna be alone, just for a while, unknown
Weeks on the road a long way from home
just shut off the phone
And you say I'll heal you,
I'll always be yours
and you say I'll kill you if I do something wrong
yeah, yeah, yeah ,yeah, yeah, yeah
Still feels like the first time
to stand here by your side
together regardless
we'll walk through the darkness
Still feels like the first day of my life
Remember the times
together we swore, never give up this life
still hanging on, still going strong
here I belong
And maybe I'm crazy
but I just can't slow down
And maybe I'm crazy
but at least I'm still around
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Still feels like the first time
to stand here by your side
together regardless
we'll walk through the darkness
Still feels like the first day of my life
Feels like the first day of my life,
(feels like the first day)
Still feels like the first day of my life
Still feels like the first time
to stand here by your side
together regardless
we'll walk through the darkness
Still feels like the first day of my
still feels like the first day of my
still feels like the first day of my life

In the Shadows
No sleep,
No sleep until Im don
With finding the answer.
Wont stop,
Wont stop before I find
The cure for this cancer.
Sometimes,
I feel like Im intended
And soul is connected.
Somehow,
I know that Im hunted
To be wounded.
Ill be walking,
Ill be waiting,
In the shadows,
For my time.
Ill be searching,
Ill be leaving,
For tomorrows,
Of my life.
[ In the shadows ] x2
They say,
That I must learn to kill
Before I can feel safe.
But I,
Id rather kill my self
Then turning to they say.
Sometimes,
Im feeling that I should go
And play with the thunder.
Somehow,
I just dont wont to stay
And wait for a wonder.
Ill be walking,
Ill be waiting,
In the shadows,
For my time.
Ill be searching,
Ill be leaving,
For tomorrows,
Of my life.
Frankly,
Ive bin,
Walking,
Walking,
In circles,
Walking,
Waiting,
For something.
Feel me,
Touch me,
Heel me,
Contact me,
Higher.
Ill be walking,
Ill be waiting,
In the shadows,
For my time.
Ill be searching,
Ill be leaving,
For tomorrows,
Of my life.
Ill be walking
Ill be waiting
Ill be searching
Ill be leaving,
For tomorrows.

Still Standing
I wish you here tonight with me to see the northern lights
I wish you were here tonight with me
I wish I could have you by my side tonight when the sky is burning
I wish I could have you by my side
Cause I've been down and I've been crawling
Won't back down no more
Can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies
Down on me, I'm still standing
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
Conscience clear, I'm still standing here
burns like a thousand stars, though you are light years away
burns like a thousand stars or more
you're up there, you're always with me
smiling down on me
can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies
down on me, I'm still standing
can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
conscience clear, I'm still standing here
It's something sacred, something so beautiful
something quiet to ease my mind
when the pressure's taking me over and over
cause I've been down and I've been crawling
pushed around and always falling
you're up there, you're always with me
smiling down on me
can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies
down on me, I'm still standing
can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
conscience clear, I'm still standing here
can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies
down on me, I'm still standing here
can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
conscience clear, I'm still standing here
I wish you were here tonight with me
I wish I could have you by my side tonight when the sky is burning
I wish I could have you by my side
Cause I've been down and I've been crawling
Won't back down no more
Can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies
Down on me, I'm still standing
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
Conscience clear, I'm still standing here
burns like a thousand stars, though you are light years away
burns like a thousand stars or more
you're up there, you're always with me
smiling down on me
can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies
down on me, I'm still standing
can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
conscience clear, I'm still standing here
It's something sacred, something so beautiful
something quiet to ease my mind
when the pressure's taking me over and over
cause I've been down and I've been crawling
pushed around and always falling
you're up there, you're always with me

In My Life
Feel the heat below my feet
I have to go, no time to sleep
Can't believe the things you say
I turn my head and walk away
You make me sick - you make me nervous
Times had gone when you would say
This is the one and seize the day
Times had gone for honesty
My victory is your defeat
Can't you see you've been mistaken
In my life I decide and it turns me on,
How I am, how I live, who I love
In my way I feel strong and it turns me on
In my life, I decide, I decide
I decide
I decide
All you do you can't deny
It's waste of time, waste of life
Can I suggest that you invest
In something more than hopelessness
Before you know the ride is over
In my life I decide and it turns me on,
How I am, how I live, who I love
In my way I feel strong and it turns me on
In my life, I decide, I decide
It's up to you if you give it up
It's up to you if you won't stop
It's up to you if you give it up
It's up to you if you won't stop
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you if you won't stop
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you
It's up to you...
The record shows that you're dead but you're still living
Every time you have died you have been given
Another chance to fix your bad attitude
And make a move, it's up to you
It's up to you if we give it up, give it up
It's up to you if we give it up, give it up
It's up to you
It's up to you
YOU...
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
...
I have to go, no time to sleep

Time To Burn
Fear of the dark tears me apart
won't leave me alone and time keeps running out
Just one more life, I'm so sick and tired
of singing the blues, I should turn my life around
[Chorus:]
Tell me why do I feel this way
all my life I`ve been standing on the borderline
too many bridges burned
too many lies I've heard
I had life but I can't go back
I can't do that, it will never be the same again
and I know I don't
have any time to burn
they follow me home, disturbing my sleep
but I'll find a place, place where they cannot find me
maybe I'm lost, and maybe I'm scared
but too many times I've closed the doors behind me
[Chorus]
leave it all behind
cross the borderline
face the truth, don't have any time to...
don't have any time to burn
[Chorus]
won't leave me alone and time keeps running out
Just one more life, I'm so sick and tired
of singing the blues, I should turn my life around
[Chorus:]
Tell me why do I feel this way
all my life I`ve been standing on the borderline
too many bridges burned
too many lies I've heard
I had life but I can't go back
I can't do that, it will never be the same again
and I know I don't
have any time to burn
they follow me home, disturbing my sleep
but I'll find a place, place where they cannot find me
maybe I'm lost, and maybe I'm scared
but too many times I've closed the doors behind me
[Chorus]
leave it all behind
cross the borderline
face the truth, don't have any time to...
don't have any time to burn
[Chorus]

Guilty
I feel guilty
my words are empty
no signs to give you
i don't have the time for you
you say i'm heartless
and you say i don't care
i used to be there for you
and you've said i seem so dead, that i have changed
but so have you
guilty, guilty i feel so
empty, empty you know how to make me feel
i put a shield upon you
i didn't mean to hurt you
i would have only poisoned your mind
never meant to make you cry
you've been so thoughtless
i can see right through you
you used to be there for me
so don't you leave say goodbye
cause you have changed but so have i
i never thought that the time and the distance
between us made you so much colder
i'll carry the world on my shoulders
my words are empty
no signs to give you
i don't have the time for you
you say i'm heartless
and you say i don't care
i used to be there for you
and you've said i seem so dead, that i have changed
but so have you
guilty, guilty i feel so
empty, empty you know how to make me feel
i put a shield upon you
i didn't mean to hurt you
i would have only poisoned your mind
never meant to make you cry
you've been so thoughtless
i can see right through you
you used to be there for me
so don't you leave say goodbye
cause you have changed but so have i
i never thought that the time and the distance
between us made you so much colder
i'll carry the world on my shoulders

Not Like The Other Girls
No more blame I am destined to keep you sane
Gotta rescue the flame
Gotta rescue the flame in your heart
No more blood, I will be there for you my love
I will stand by your side
The world has forsaken my girl
I should have seen it would be this way
I should have known from the start what she's up to
When you have loved and you've lost someone
You know what it feels like to lose
She's fading away
Away from this world
Drifting like a feather
She's not like the other girls
She lives in the clouds
She talks to the birds
Hopeless little one
She's not like the other girls I know
No more shame, she has felt too much pain, in her life
In her mind she's repeating the words
All the love you put out will return to you
Gotta rescue the flame
Gotta rescue the flame in your heart
No more blood, I will be there for you my love
I will stand by your side
The world has forsaken my girl
I should have seen it would be this way
I should have known from the start what she's up to
When you have loved and you've lost someone
You know what it feels like to lose
She's fading away
Away from this world
Drifting like a feather
She's not like the other girls
She lives in the clouds
She talks to the birds
Hopeless little one
She's not like the other girls I know
No more shame, she has felt too much pain, in her life
In her mind she's repeating the words
All the love you put out will return to you

The One I Love
Haven't slept in a week
My bed has become my coffin
Cannot breath, cannot speak
My head's like a bomb, still waiting
Take my heart and take my soul
I don't need them anymore
[Chorus:]
The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
The one I love
Drowning me in my dreams
The one I love
Over and over again
Dragging me under
Hypnotized by the night
Silently rising beside me
Emptiness, nothingness
Is burning a hole inside me
Take my faith and take my pride
I don't need them anymore
[Chorus]
This bed has become my chapel of stone
A garden of darkness to where I'm thrown
So take my life, I don't need it anymore
[Chorus]
The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
Striking me down
Drowning me in my dreams
Down on my knees
Over and over again
Striking me down
Over and over and over and over again
My bed has become my coffin
Cannot breath, cannot speak
My head's like a bomb, still waiting
Take my heart and take my soul
I don't need them anymore
[Chorus:]
The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
The one I love
Drowning me in my dreams
The one I love
Over and over again
Dragging me under
Hypnotized by the night
Silently rising beside me
Emptiness, nothingness
Is burning a hole inside me
Take my faith and take my pride
I don't need them anymore
[Chorus]
This bed has become my chapel of stone
A garden of darkness to where I'm thrown
So take my life, I don't need it anymore
[Chorus]
The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
Striking me down
Drowning me in my dreams
Down on my knees
Over and over again
Striking me down
Over and over and over and over again

Back In The Picture
There were times in my life I was down on my knees, now it's over
Deep inside my heart I know
Simply put I've been stabbed in the back ever since I remember
Deep inside it hurt to let go
I'm back in the picture, back in the picture
I wonder what took so long, so long
Dedicate everything I create
To my friends I would die for
But you will always be the one
Memories that you can't overrun, memories I could cry for
I thought I'd always be on the run
Deep inside my heart I know
Simply put I've been stabbed in the back ever since I remember
Deep inside it hurt to let go
I'm back in the picture, back in the picture
I wonder what took so long, so long
Dedicate everything I create
To my friends I would die for
But you will always be the one
Memories that you can't overrun, memories I could cry for
I thought I'd always be on the run

Funeral Song
I dumped you again
I don't understand
It's happened before
Can't take it no more
These foolish games
Always end up in confusion
I'll take you back
Just to leave you once again
I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire
I've failed you again
'Cause I let you stay
I used to pretend
That I felt ok
Just one big lie
Such a perfect illusion
I made you mine
Just to hurt you once again
I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire
I don't understand
It's happened before
Can't take it no more
These foolish games
Always end up in confusion
I'll take you back
Just to leave you once again
I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire
I've failed you again
'Cause I let you stay
I used to pretend
That I felt ok
Just one big lie
Such a perfect illusion
I made you mine
Just to hurt you once again
I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire
