Fifty light years out in space
News is that another race
Broke the chains of gravity
Knows now there’s no deity
Way out there
Someone might just hear
Fifty years from now
Fifteen feet of concrete wall
Erected on this very fall
Shatters a society
89 will set them free
Way out there
Someone might just hear
Fifty years from now
Far from here
Someone sheds a tear
Fifty light years out
In the end
We’re just only
Dust adrift in space
Someone out there
Someone, somehow might care
Someone out there
Someone or something will hear

Y the Letter
04:05
|

|
Sitting alone with this letter of Y
The writing is hard to decipher
The spelling's just wrong
I twist and I turn just to see it her way
But nothings OK when she tries to explain
Why she's gone
Tell me something
I don't know
Just for show
The same old story
We all hear
It's your fear
I'll move on
When you're gone
I'm so tired of lies and another love dies
As I read between lines that hardly defines
What went wrong
You scream and you shout
just to get it all out
The words don't make sense so I won't take offence
Are you done
This letter of why leaves me hanging to dry
I drown in your mess but you'll never confess
what you've done
I don't easily crack but it's all coming back
I'd get up and run but you've already won
Since you're gone

Cheater

And the rumors are
She came home last night not alone
If the word is true
She is on to you
It's revenge
And the wisdom he's to learn
Is how easily you're burned
And he knows
When she leaves his cause is lost
As much as he's a liar
She's an angel in denial
They're too much alike
She gives up the fight
Don't want to drift astray
He learns the hardest way
And she wants to talk
About this private hell
They call we
There's been sleepless nights
after pointless fights
And the wisdom she will learn
Is how long a wound can burn

These Memories
03:23
|
|||
|
Verse:
Time has no direction and time does not recall
Time has no affection for a memory to hold
I am so reluctant and will not fall in line
Got problems of my own I need this time alone and
Chorus:
These memories, these hopes and dreams
you left me with you ran away
Verse:
I was so vindictive and I could not refrain
The sweetness in your failing, I just don't feel no regrets
Now everywhere I go or whereever I may roam
Your face in every window and your voice floats in my air

If
03:42
|
|||
|
If you had one chance
To begin again
would you change it all
For a better end
In your endless strife
and your broken life
Did you loose belief
Did you fall 'cause nothing was real
If you had the time
Would you walk the line
Or just play it safe
Bring it down to pace
I sure would
If I could
It's all good
If it's good

Escaper
04:52
|
|||
|
Am I wasting time
Is this all that I am
I'm old and I'm weak
Well, at least in my head
I could easily spend all my time making belief I could fly
But I can't seem to keep my head out of the clouds
Just think if I'd crash
Or what I just refuse to land
And if I die while I'm dreaming
Or if I cry when you see
Will you help me believe in
There is something for me
Am I loosing faith
I'm so tired of seekers
Are you cold and alone
Does it help if you moan
We could easily run from this world though they break all our bones
If I had just one last thing to say
at the end of the day
I'd stare down the gap and smile in denial

Counsellor
03:50
|

|
Is it love
if it hurts
and it's hard
to converse
Is it time
to convert all these thoughts
in to words
And as the days go by
They're both in deep denial
Her hair has now faded to grey
Go after him and tell that she
is sad to see this torn up life
He leads in vain, she's so ashamed
They're both in pain it's all in vain
Is this cause
Really worth
All the grief
And the hurt
If it's true
That when two
Become one
We're all done
And as the years go by
They're both in deep denial
His dreams are but memories now

Seeker
03:45
|

|
Now that you know
That old house is sold
It's bricks and it's tiles turned to gold
Does it comfort at all
This bittersweet fall
Paves way for the newly matured
Sometimes you stand in the dark
You really need to hear
But that someones not there
When the break of dawn is near
Now that you're old
A new life unfolds
A wisdom you keep safe inside
There's nowhere to hide
When planets collide
You reach but just can't stop the tide
Somethings are best left denied
And even though you cry there's no reset in life
Seekers may find
New states of mind
A secret you can't leave behind

Greetings
03:36
|
|||
|
V The outside, the inside, the steps I take won't get me there
The beatings, the greetings, the sound of words won't turn my head
C Oh, wish you were awake, wish you knew all the tears that fell alone at night
Alone at night, all alone
V The outside, the inside, the steps I take won't get me there
The beatings, the greetings, the sound of words won't turn my head
C Oh, wish you were awake, wish you knew all the tears that fell alone at night
Alone at night, all alone

Fireflies

Last call
One last chance for the wicked and bold
will never grow old
Last dance
One last romance
to hell with demands
to hell with them all
Oh night
send us away on our last flight
carry us home
Oh light
Show us the way on this last night
Carry us home
Time changes
and rearranges
The features of faces
we've all lost our graces
We dwell in our past
cause memories last
we live and we dream
we float with the stream

Hard To Let Go
05:30
|
|||
|
Verse:
Thoughts from deep within
Surface now, sheís trapped
ëCause happiness donít last
She worries sick
Sheíd thought it stay the past
A memory long gone
The end of love has come and she canít hide
The bittersweet last kiss
The essence of goodbye
The breaking of a heart
Her drowning eyes
His hands donít even shake
His voice cuts like a knife
How she wish that he would hurt just like she does
Chorus:
Why is it so hard to tell
When time has come to let go
Verse:
She pleads for him to change
A desperate wish in vain
The roof falls down on her she bites her lip
As fucked up as she feels
She needs him to explain
Her needs donít mean a thing to him she screams
That coward piece of shit
That gutless little fuck
The bastard that she just canít help to love
His eyes donít fill with tears
His hands that doesnít shake
How she wish that he would hurt just like she does
