You’re living on the other side
long before anyone ever thought that anyone can get there and make it all with pride
You made a milestone on your own
long before anyone comes up and breaks your spirit and shove you to the side
Everybody’s trying to hold you down
Everybody’s trying to hold you down
Everybody’s trying to hold you down
Now as you come and wanna take your chance
the road isn’t easy without any reason anyone can understand
What’s the matter, what’s the matter, what’s the matter with this world
Why won’t anybody leave us alone
Everybody’s trying to hold you down
Everybody’s trying to hold you down
Everybody’s trying to hold you down
Everybody’s trying to hold you down (everybody, ooh everybody)
Everybody’s trying to make you go away (everybody, ooh everybody)
But you know what to do, and you know what you came here for
and you know it’s not time to let it all go
But everybody’s trying to hold you down
Everybody’s trying to hold you down
Everybody’s trying to hold you down
Everybody’s trying to make you go away
But you know it ain’t easy and you know it’s not time to let go of it all
But everybody, everybody’s trying to hold you down
Everybody’s trying to hold you down

I Don't Love You Anymore
03:52

Days go by slow in the haze of a new low
Years all I see is tears and misery
How can that be?
How could you lead me to this?
How many times do you want me to tell you
I don’t love you anymore
How many ways do you want me to show you
I don’t love you anymore
Smiles can’t compare to the pain that’s always there
I can’t pretend that it’s not the time to end
How can that be?
How could you lead me to this?
How many times do you want me to tell you
I don’t love you anymore
How many ways do I have to show you
I don’t love you anymore
Well I can’t go down this road
I’ve taken more than I can hold
I’ve done all I can so you listen
Now you’ll know what you’re missing
How many times do you want me to tell you
I don’t love you anymore
How many ways do I have to show you
I don’t love you anymore
How many time do you want me show you it’s all over
Years have gone and I’m holding on
but I can’t love you anymore, anymore...anymore

I yell and I scream so everyone would know I’m here
Despite the changing scenes I’ll turn it all to what you’ll hear
Crazy I know but I will not change...I wanna make it clear
Crazy I know but I will not change...I wanna make it clear
I want for you to see the pretty things that I can be
The colors that you sea is everything that I can do
I hope you find them pretty because I can’t change them for you
…uoh-ooh!
And when it’s time to strut and flaunt my feathers...oh yeah!
I’ll jump to the highest fence and call you all to come and see
(Peacock/vocal solo)
Crazy I know but I will not change...I wanna make it clear
Crazy I know but I will not change...I wanna make it clear
I want for you to see the pretty things that I can be
The colors that you sea is everything that I can do
I hope you find them pretty because I can’t change them for you
The colors that you sea is everything that I can do
I hope you find them pretty because I can’t change them for you
…uoh-ooh!

Can't Turn Away

Can’t turn away
Laying down staring at the clouds above me
Waking up, I see the ocean’s blue
But my mind ain’t free...lost in you
You are all I see
Signs all around that it will all burn away
Sounds all around but I just can’t turn away
Signs all around that it will all burn away
I can’t turn away
...can’t turn away
Morning moon, but it’s pale and grey as your eyes
I won’t forget how they glared at mine
All these lows and highs...moments far behind
Will we have the time
Signs all around that it will all burn away
Sounds all around but I just can’t turn away
Signs all around that it will all burn away
I can’t turn away
Can’t turn away
Sunshine in the cold is how it feels to me
but was anything the way it seemed to be
Just when life becomes all you’ve ever dreamed
dawn may come the things that you’ve always feared
Signs all around that it will all burn away
Sounds all around but I just can’t turn away
Signs all around that it will all burn away
I can’t turn away
Can’t turn
...Can’t turn awaaaaaaaaaaay

A Little More Lightified
03:10

You know I love it baby when you tease me all night long
Screaming, moaning, shaking baby...rockin’ until the dawn
You know I love it baby when you kiss me oh so sweet
Don’t you know the way you make me feel is hard to beat...yeah!
A little more lightified is how you make me feel
A little more lightified is how you make me feel
Don’t you know the way you touch me sends a chill right up my spine
and the way you look up at me it really blows my mind
Oh I love it baby when your kisses ain’t so sweet
Drum beats in my head so loud, I’m shaking to my feet...yeah!
A little more lightified is how you make me feel
A little more lightified is how you make me feel
A little more lightified is how you make me feel
A little more lightified is how you make me feel
A little more lightified, baby is the way that I feel with you all night
Oh yeah
A little more lightified is how you make me feel

How Does it Feel

How does it feel...
...growing older watching life go by
The days and nights pass, time moves on with the blink of an eye
Friends come and gone, some have passed while others move on
Gone off to school, or made a fool, settling down or in the ground
Oooh, Oh
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel...
...seeing love escape you again
Lost way too fast before it even begad
Left lone and cold seeing others together grow old
Days turn into nights, you paid the price...bleeding for all that you sold
Oooh, Oh
How does it feel
How does it feel
Left lone and cold seeing others together grow old
Days turn into nights, you paid the price...bleeding for all that you sold
...Oooh

Martyr
03:33

Feel the rain, feel the pain
Hold your head up so high
Show the world that all you heard
won’t ever stop the cry
The freedom that they’ve taken away will be back someday
The years that you’re fighting for aren’t so far away
You healed your sight, you see the light
No one sees it as clear as you
Feel the day, it’s not so far away
This time you’re really coming through
The freedom that they’ve taken away will be back someday
The years that you’re fighting for aren’t so far away
Feel the rain, heal the pain
Wash away the tears
You see beyond the stars tonight
You’ve drowned away the fears
The soul that cries in you is priceless in all our eyes
You’d give that soul away and wouldn’t feel you paid the price
Oh it won’t die...it will live and feel the day
You’re a martyr, you’ll never die...

Follow the Night
03:57
|

|
All these wasted times that are gone
We’ll never ever wash it away
I wouldn’t look back at what’s wrong
Everything’s got it own turning way
Nobody’s blaming me...nobody’s blaming you
We gotta do it on our own before the time burns us too
‘Cause this life is so short to waste
and the lights are so far away
Follow the night
...until you see the brink of day
When you find there’s not much left to risk
then there’s not so much that you can lose
This life sometimes turns to dusk
and what you got can’t mend your fuse
So you wait for dawn...but will it wait for you
You gotta heal yourself again before you black your blue
‘Cause this life is so short to waste
and the lights are so far away
Follow the night
...until you see the brink of day
Follow the night, Follow the night
Follow the NIGHT!

Can't Stop the Rain
03:09
|

Can’t stop the rain...It’s always gonna fall
Can’t stop the sun from starting it all
And that’s the way, and forever it will be
and never never never shall we make it fall
Can’t stop the stars falling through our sky
It doesn’t matter how hard we try
And that’s the way, and forever it will
and fools will never see
Every drop of rain that rainbows in the sunshine
shows us a light that we have chosen not to see
And every time you stop and let the rain kiss your eyes
Beauty released for all to be
Light shining down lets you see all the things that could be
Light shining down lets you see all the things that could be
Nature calls the sun its mother
and water is what life is made of
All that we see and all that we know
and all that we have
Every drop of rain that rainbows in the sunshine
shows us a light that we have chosen not to see
And every time you stop and let the rain kiss your eyes
Beauty released for all to be

Life Slips Away
03:25
|
|||
|
So...don’t you know the way it goes
I feel so stupid sometimes
So...it doesn’t go the way you know
that it should sometimes
Movies and pictures show me the life I want for me
What will I do if I’m not there?
What will I be if I’m not the star of anywhere
Perfect smile and perfect hair
Time goes by and I can’t stop it
Life slips away
Dreams so high and I can’t help it
Can I wish them away
Running behind it chasing the things that will not be
Failing to see the inner beauty
Failing to live my life the way it should be
The way it should be
Time goes by and I can’t stop it
Life slips away
Dreams so high and I can’t help it
Can I wish them away....wish them away
wish them away
I feel so stupid sometimes...
