1. _ Disappointed
Well i'm sorry you're disappointed
But times they change and so did i
Standing still and getting nowhere quicker
Well it seems i didn't have to try
But now i've found a reason to move on
And you won't miss me much now that i'm gone
You don't seem disappointed
The three years i went to college
Didn't make much of a difference to me
Made me feel so safe i didn't have to think
About the things i really wanna be
So don't get caught up in that trap
They'll make you feel like you've been trapped
Into owing them your gratitude
And all the other platitudes
That make you feel important when you go
But now i've found a reason to move on
And you won't miss me much now that i'm gone
You don't seem disappointed
'cause when you're gone, somebody else will come along and take your place
It doesn't make me feel any less a member of the human race
This ain't no race
Well i'm sorry you're disappointed
But i don't feel that way today
I am free from all the crazy games you played
I am free from all the things you say
And i don't mean to make a mockery of the things
You thought i'd say when i left, but i'm not disappointed
And if i felt the urge to say you're wrong
Well, i just hold the words inside and laugh
And you'd be disappointed
So disappointed
So disappointed

2. _ Sacrifice/let There Be Peace
If i ride on the rails
I shall ride them alone
And if i need all this pain
I will find it alone
If i'm wanted for leaving
I will leave here alone
And if i can't resist this
Then i am unfit to go on
A simple solution is all i require
If fire is the passion i only aspire to be free
Let me be free
If the strain on your conscience gets under your skin
And leads you to making a sacrifice
Sacrifice me
Let there be peace
To the grave from the cradle
We don't rock anymore
Now i stand here with both feet
Planted firm on the floor
And if you're planning a future
Of indefinite grace
You'd better start removing
The lines of deceit from your face
A simple conclusion is all i require
If fire is the passion i only aspire to be free
Let me be free
And all of the hypocrites lie through their teeth
Talk about making a sacrifice
Sacrifice me
Let there be peace
How much longer can all this go on?
How many more choices can one person have?
And all of the questions with no proper answers
Continue continue
Have to go on have to go on have to go on
Should i bend down and worship the ground
Of the beautiful people who live without flaws?
Success is a virtue to share with the world
But failure's a lesson that's best learned alone
Respect is a virtue that strong men command
But when words become weapons
There'll be peace in the valley of death when i rise
Peace in the valley of death when i rise

3. _ Stand Guard
Stand guard over what is mine
Stand guard day and night to watch over me and mine
I keep at a distance, it suits me just fine
I need no assistance, i stand guard all the time
I meant it as a threat
It's a promise you can keep
Don't want no interference
Standing up in my sleep
Stand guard over sea and land
I watch what they've done to this earth, i don't need no master plan
When all the consequences have far been outweighed by selfish reward
I feel an obligation sometimes i'm not quite sure what it's toward
There's got to be some reason that we all keep on living
More often than not we leave this earth
With at least two handfuls of misgiving
I stand guard over what is rightfully mine
I watch all this beauty disintegrating
To stand guard is not enough
Makes me feel like i'm waiting for something horrendous to happen
But i stand guard over family and friends
It's all that i can do to stand here and watch how this lifetime ends
I've never felt as much as i feel for you now
I'm not about to stand here and watch this whole world bring you down
I see how it brings you down
But i will stand guard for you
I will stand guard over you

4. _ Hear Me Calling
I recall what it felt like years ago
And it's all i wanna know
And if i don't seem to deal too well
With being left alone
It's only 'cause i want you for my own
Can't you hear me calling you out?
Can't you see me falling to the ground?
To the ground
Well i hope that you'll be happy
If it's happiness you find
But i can't seem to get you off my mind
I wonder where you're going to
And i wonder where you've been
I wonder if we'll ever meet again
Can't you hear me calling you out?
Can't you see me falling to the ground?
Oh, you'll never know how much i adored you
Every time i look around and see how much i ignored you
But i don't mind
You keep taking up all my time
Does it matter to you?
Does it matter to me?
Does it matter anymore?
You win again
You win again
You win again
The more you try to move away
The tighter i hold on
(listen, can't you hear me calling?)
But what will you hold onto when i'm gone?
(jesus, can't you see me falling?)
But you've made other plans
And i guess i understand
(listen, can't you hear me calling?)
I ain't got much choice but to understand
(jesus, can't you see me falling?)
Can't you hear me calling you out?
Can't you see me falling to the ground?
Can't you hear me calling you out?
Can't you see me falling to the ground?
You win again

5. _ Hanging Tree
Another exit on the freeway
Another bridge i cannot bear to cross alone
And i've been on the mend
I've been getting ready to change my name again
And once i had a love so fair
Once i had a reason to keep on
Left a paragraph taped up on my door
It said "don't wait up 'cause i ain't comin' home"
So i've been driving far and wide to find my call in life
Been looking for a place where i belong
I guess a little pain never killed anyone
I guess i feel that way again
I can't come clean, i cannot stay
Got no reason to explain
I've been here too long, i need a change
And i hope you'll understand
Stained glass window never gonna carry my name
Been laid to rest in a field of sticks and stones
And above my head all that's left are footsteps
Of some kid too young too far away from home
So don't send me invitations to your big parade
Place of residence unknown
In my eyes there is no compromise
There is no calm before the storm
These things happen all the time
Should i throw myself from the hanging tree?
Is there a place for those of us who don't belong?
I haven't found it yet

6. _ The Last Night
Tonight's the last night that i'm coming home to you
It seems at last my mind is made for good
There'll be no more excuses like "i wasn't near a phone"
You wouldn't call me even if you could
Tonight's the last night that i'm waiting up for you
It doesn't seem to matter if i do
'cause you've got friends and places where you feel much more at ease
I've come to realize that's nothing new
I've learned one thing for certain
With you near me all this time
That what was yours is yours, what's mine is mine
But of all of these possessions i have let go of the greatest one of all
Tonight's the last night that i'm gonna feel this way
This emptiness is so hard to explain
I've changed my number and the locks on all the doors
And i hope i never go through this again
Tonight's the last night that i'll ever spend with you
And please don't ask me why 'cause i don't know
It's just a funny feeling that's been building up inside
Tonight i have decided i must go
I must go

7. _ One Good Reason
In the forest all the trees are turning black
And sorry's the only way i know how to react
I can feel it coming on
I can tell it's coming on
Another minor disagreement
Another something else gone wrong
Give me one good reason
Yeah just give me one more chance
And i might take it back
The words, all the words we never say
Well i don't wanna be the one to tell you life shouldn't be this way
But i'm a fool, i've been known to play the fool
But i'm not kidding anymore, i know i'm happy being here with you
What's the use in trying if you'll never understand
You could make me understand if you just
Give me one good reason and i'll never ask again
Give me one good reason just make sure i understand
All i need is one good reason, nothing more or less
Give me one good reason, one good reason, nothing less
Nothing less
Nothing less
Nothing less than less than
What's the use in trying if you'll never understand
You could make me understand if you just
Give me one good reason just make sure i understand
All i need is one good reason, nothing more or less
Give me one good reason, one good reason, nothing less
All i need is one good reason

8. _ It's Too Late
Lately i've been thinking
And how the whole world's come undone
Everybody's got this sinking feeling
Feeling they're on the run
But i know a place where time stands still
I can picture it in my mind
But i'm not sure if we can get there
(there is no reason reasons rhyme
Why can't you see we're almost out of time)
It's too late it's too late it's too late
To cover what you've done
It's too late it's too late it's too late
To call for anyone at all
Well i guess i should be so brave to think that i'm the only one who knows
It's too late it's too late it's too late
To cover what you've done
Oh no we need a change (this world's stranger now)
Now is not the time to run away (there must be a way)
A way that we could listen to the warning signs so pay attention
This is my intention to prevent this fate before it gets too late
And as the hands of the clock go round and round
And the world keeps marching on
Can you afford to let it fall now?
(the fish in all the streams are dying
Fluorocarbons fill the sky
And i don't really want to die before my time has come)
It's too late it's too late it's too late
To cover what you've done
It's too late it's too late it's too late
To call for anyone at all
Well i guess i should be so brave to think that i'm the only one who knows
It's too late it's too late it's too late it's too late
Now now
It's too late
(lately i've been thinking
Haven't had that sinking feeling now)

9. _ Out Of Your Life
If you want me out of your life
Now all you gotta do is tell me
I ain't got a life of my own
And the one i got with you could kill me
You've been taking some time, does it weigh on your mind?
If you think you've got an answer tell me, i don't know
But if you want me out of your life
Now all you gotta do is tell me
If you want me out of the way
Now all you gotta say is something
And do you think you'll tell me today?
Well it seems i'm waiting here for nothing
You still call me your friend, yeah i think you're pretending
If you keep on ignoring me then i will go
But if you want me out of your life
Now all you gotta do is tell me
When all this confusion goes, what else could there be
But this feeling i knew that turned out to be true
When i saw you walking out you turned your back on me
If you want me out of your life
Now all you gotta do is tell me
I ain't got a life all alone
And the one i had with you near killed me
Now it's time to catch up on the ones i forgot
It took losing you to find the things that i still got
But if you want me out of your life
Now all you gotta do is tell me
Tell me
Tell me now, and i will get out of your life

10. _ Black Sheets Of Rain
Checking in every morning
To the sound of steam and caffeine
The sludge in the bottom of the cup
Just like the sludge in the stream
Slag heap keep growing higher
Every morning the sky, it's on fire
And it's only 9 am again
Is there an upside to every downside?
Keep it inside, it's a downward slide of broken glass
Keeps building in piles
And i don't know
I don't know if the sun ever smiles
It's the black sheets of rain
Following me again
Everywhere i go
Everywhere i've been
Following me again
I feel the toxins fill my blood stream as i'm walking through the parking lot
Over and over and over and over and over and over
The clouds hanging over
Choking the life out of me
The motto seems to be
"we work in order to be free"
It's the black sheets of rain
Following me again
Everywhere i go
Everywhere i've been
Following me again
Over and over and over and over and over and over again
Where were you in my hour of need
(i never see the sun stop shining)
The clouds roll over the sunlight
(someone stopped the sun from shining)
And i stand here, ready to bleed
(i never see the sun stop shining)
A little rain is all we need
(someone stopped the sun from shining)
Where will you be in my darkest hour of need?
(i never see the sun stop shining)
Where will you be in my darkest hour of need?
(someone stopped the sun)
Here it comes again

11. _ Stop Your Crying
A moment sits suspended in time what i a time i had with you
Living in your fantasy world, well there ain't much of a view
I rarely stepped outside of myself, always caught up in between
Some place i thought was good for my health and the place i've always been
So let me tell you now
Oh, you better stop your crying
'cause you're feeling so damn happy
You try to make me feel like dying
Oh, you better stop your crying
'cause the tears that are running down your face
They don't make me feel like dying
I guess i never wanted to crash in the wave of your emotion
I walked away from all of the trash looking for a perfect ocean
But lately i've been finding myself fighting upward int he stream
And who could tell that i'm living in hell? lord, i must be dreaming
Oh, you better stop your crying
'cause i don't listen to you anymore even when you know you're lying
Oh, i see the story on your face
Stop your crying, 'cause you can't make me feel like dying
So now the party's come to and end and to end a perfect time
I send you love and all of the best, and all the rest is mine
And i'd rather sit and talk to myself after all is said and done
What happens next, hey no one can tell, and i ain't tellin' no one
Oh, you better stop your crying
'cause the tears that are running down your face
They don't make me feel like dying
Oh, you better stop your crying
You ain't even trying, you better stop your crying
