1. _ Away
I'm packing up my memories gonna send them all away
Forgotten is a troubled time a cluttered mind - what will be will be
To whom this past belongs to now stuck with it I'm afraid
I guess I don't even care 'cause I'm not there
Leave behind what you know you can't change
Throw away the victim that is you
Time to find what you want as yours it's yours to keep
All inside your head
I've been waiting for a chance like this to send myself away
Forgotten are the shaky steps there's nothing left - what will be will be
Destroying all the evidence - the clues to what's been done
I know now what will be and because of me

2. _ Come Of Age
Is this what you've been waiting for
You know you're gonna change the world
You get to be invisible
Now you're not ready for life
You're not ready to die
Things are so much different now that you've come of age
Look straight and hard and far ahead for something you can save
Things are so much different now that you've come of age
Walk right into your destiny decisions have been made
It always seemed much later on
The time has come you're on your own
This is the dream it's coming true
Too fast desire can't help you
This is what you've been hoping for
You know you'll never change the world
You think you're so invincible now
You don't know the truth, you can't live the lies

3. _ Stormclouds
Faceless generation
Legacy of pain
Blistered hands and fingers
Dark skies ruled by flame
Take this generation
It doesn't have to be this way
It's not my generation
We are the ones the right and wrong
We are the ones we're right and wrong
We are the ones we rise and fall
We are the ones we're without name
We are the ones who face it
Face this generation
Learn from yesterday
Can you see your whole life pass
Without skies red with flame
Faceless generation
Know the truth that is your pain
We are the new beginning
Our hopes our dreams our real today
Face this generation
The truth that's here to stay
Hopes and aspirations
Time is up today
Take this generation
It doesn't have to be this way
It's not my generation
We are the ones we're right and wrong

4. _ Cold War
Frozen talk won't stop for sure
What's buried in the ground
A limit for tomorrow
Doesn't save the here and now
It shouldn't be hard to agree
On something they must know
Maybe they are thinking
If we give in we will fall
Falls the snow
If we give in we will fall
Falls the snow
So far to go
The only thing I really fear
Is what I can't control
This fear has grown a part of me
I've lived it for so long
What good is it to protest
It's like screaming at the wall
Still we raise our voices
If we give in we will fall
I can't live my life here underground
And stare at concrete walls
Nothing's safe to touch outside
I'm scared of what I'll find
I spend my time back in the past
All I have are photographs
Visions of a troubled world
That didn't know how good we had it all

5. _ Older Now
Push forward
Lay to rest old fears
Not long ago I was one of them
I'm changing
The more I've changed
The harder it is to face what I was before
It's one man against one man
I'm gonna take a stand
Older now
Stand silent
The pain is there
The fear burns in my eyes
I won't look back
There's nothing left to hide
I'm different but I don't need it written on my face
The real difference is inside
One man against one man
I gotta take a chance
No pity
No regret for what I left behind
Yesterday is dead
I am still alive
It's clear now
What I fought so hard
I fought against myself
I'm not ashamed of what I am

6. _ Dark Days
I didn't know it could get so dark so fast
But from here on its not gonna last
The days are getting longer and I'll have my time
Tomorrow is not far away
From where I stand all alone today
Just add another minute for the sun to shine
My shadow falls hard against this world
It leads me to a special place
It looks away from the shortest day
But it stares right back in my face
The sun at my back gives me a long look
And it won't fail me now
I'm walking straight to a warm embrace
To a day that's never gonna end at all
Don't you feel the chill lift from the air
The sky shines clear to someplace where
There will be no more waiting for the night to end
I didn't know I could get so far so fast
Overcome my shadow and walked right past
Straight into the sunlight
'Cause I know my own way now
I know the darkness will return
The numbing cold and the freezing burn
The days are getting shorter
But I know that I will last

7. _ Remember When
Reaching through the pain the real world sent your way
Problems you can't understand but still you have to fight
It makes me proud inside to see you try so hard
It hurts to watch your struggle
I can't tell you I know I'm right
No, I won't cry for you
What you need is a place to turn
And I hope that you will fall on me
'Cause I won't fall
Some people don't catch on they'd rather just pretend
While things are going smooth they smile and call you friend
Funny how you never know who cares until it hurts
And when it's over does it matter who blew who off first
No, I won't cry for you
You need someone to turn to
And I hope that you will fall on me
'Cause I won't fall
Remember when you lost your head
Your mind screams for what you should have said
Face the world with a painful smile
Holding back the guilt inside
You never thought you'd do such harm
You'll never forget or hide these scars
Hurting inside's no way to grow
So just let go
Cause it's gone with yesterday
I know the things you're going through are hard to take
Trying to be what you never wanted find a real way to be brave
I've learned to understand you'll get by on your own
You've got yourself to count on now but realize your not alone
No I won't cry for you
Don't need weak sympathy
What you need you will find
Just open your fist and reach to me

8. _ On The Inside
Sunburned faces watch a nuclear sky
Initial conflict on the fourth of July
Children hide their heads and wonder why
No one really cares
Crying on the Inside
Surrender
Radio brings in the daily news
The sky's a crisscross of those red whites and blues
If the day should come what would you choose
If the day should ever come now would you really care
|

9. _ We Believe
A grim reality there's something on the TV news
We're faced with truth we can't refuse no outcome left to choose
Nothing's ever new again
A Grim reality
We believe
Don't understand
A bitter fallacy there's murder in McDonald land
Watching from the living room or shouting from the stands
Don't just stand there waiting for the change again
What's it gonna be
Don't you see
There's nowhere to hide from me
Land of make believe there's something wrong in TV land
The outside world comes crashing in and nothing goes as planned
Don't just stand there waiting for the change again

11. _ Heaven Falls
You reach out to pat my back
But twist the knife instead
I can't touch your private world
Or illusions of your mind
Season of unearthly need
Reading further down
Time is lost and you're the same
You're acting without thought now
Who will you run to
When heaven falls
Here we stand now back to back
We're choking just to speak
I can't touch your private world
Or illusions of your mind now
Losing grip of fading thought
What difference did it make
Loosing touch of what you had
When time left you behind

12. _ Surface Tension
Voices sometimes mine
Whispers in my mind
I can't be alone
No way to compensate
For an insane world
Is this what i've outgrown
I fell it it's all there
I can't ignore the signs
It's not my fault
If someone gets hurt the next time worlds collide
Where the madness ends
Imagination begins
It's getting closer all the time
Fury in my eyes
I'm not repentant for my crimes
Not this time
Is it hate or fear
Rorschach I can't decide
I fear my hate
I don't know how to love everyone

13. _ Rut
I can't complain
about this rut I'm in
day after day
these same walls I kick in
rip out my hair
what's so unfair
bent out of shape
underestimate what I can take
it's easier to just break down
when you're not around anymore
woe is me,
I just can't win
the cable's out again
can't stand the neighbor's hollering'
it comes crashing down and I forget
that some hearts never mend
and it never ends
even though I'm not pretending when I cry
I don't care
about this rut I'm in
no show to steal
by making a big deal if I fall down and what for
fall so hard to seal my fate
feel's so good to bellyache
it's gonna be one of those days
break it down

14. _ Black And White
Black turns to white just once more
Can't realize what's happened - Out of the blue
Just a spark of faith and a little bit of courage
To learn from a mistake
It's simple to see something so right
How could I've gone wrong at all?
This time it's black and white
Day turns to night like before
Does it have to be a challenge - No time to think
The truth behind this all is so sure
Why not forget about the hate
There is room to breath but
Hope can fade away
The world is not gonna stop for me this time

15. _ Shadow Of A Cross
How do you see yourself
Do you find yourself within
You look for now way out
Can't you be yourself
Separated form all them
You're seeing now way else
How to be yourself
Don't you find the strength within
Living in the shadow of a cross
See there's no real reason to be lost
Or found in someone else
I'm not sorry now
Are you really sure
What you're searching for to see
Or will you even understand
What are you waiting for
'Cause there's so much more to be
And not try so hard to hide
The light you're reaching to
Could be burning bright in you
It's an easy choice
Once you're living at the end
Does it matter either way
It's not such a crucial choice
Just let your heroes die, be them
Doesn't matter either way
Destroy with your own voice
Just don't pretend to know its' the right choice

17. _ Christmas Lights
All she was a parent's prize
Pushed to the edge by childhood lies
No escape when it's that far gone
Just hope and pray you have it all wrong
Somehow it ain't the same but nothing's changed
Christmas lights sparkles in the silence
Torture me with joyful cries
No escaping that it's gone forever
To a quiet place where someone cares for her
I don't feel like coming home
This don't feel like coming home
All I have is a photograph
The words you left and a frozen laugh
Frozen in time where you will always be
An empty space walking next to me

18. _ Dude Danger
Promise
Welcome to a world of promise
These smiling faces are your friends
All this happiness is certain
Unless of course you don't fit in
Fall in line
Pretend like you don't mind
Get in the know unless you've had enough time to get dangerous
Laughing
Why are all these dudes so happy
Our hero questions the big joke
Stop it make them all just disappear
He's never felt so all alone
Now's the time
There's not need to hide
He's got to let them know
Look's like he's had enough
He's getting dangerous
I wonder who's laughing now

19. _ Strange Lightning
The rain taps on the window down the hall
there's no one out there nothing at all
reaching out strange lightning from above
looking up nothing to be scared of
take away the wonder
take away the world
you better not forget
it's quiet now the wind begins to slow
someone's standing there please don't go
forever new and still the same
you can help things stay this way
all clear now how fast it came and went
someone's standing there don't let it end
