1. Shine
chance the chances and risk the risky,
nothing but my mind is with me
if i don’t have a chance,
there is nothing left to risk
gotta find out if something’s out there,
I’ll bait a hook that’s never been scared
if something bites,
I hope it bites, with teeth that break skin
is life worth the blood
that i’m bleeding?
chorus…
maybe I should stay here
I’m stuck inside the dark
maybe I should wait
maybe I should wait here
for the sun to rise
shine me through the night
easier said than done they say
when all is said and done
all work and no play is never any fun
every single day, it’s only just begun
should I walk towards the light, or turn and run?
2. Fly
why do you close your mind so tight
that you can’t see
this is war, this is my freedom fight
it’s killing me
I don’t need it
I can’t believe it
I’ve envisioned my entire life and you can’t see it
chorus…
I won’t run away
I can’t fly
because my wings have been cut by you
strength is mine and I am proud
you lift me up as you drag me down
I know why it’s true
all that i do
my strength offends you
I care nothing what you think
I’m blind to what you see
nothing stops my dreams when you can’t wake me from my sleep
you can’t beat me
you can’t defeat me
it’s time for you to eat the shit you tried to feed me
3. Palm Trees
this place
there’s something about this place
so many come here for freedom
but they can’t see it
I see it everyday
and I am guilty of the same
the reason why I stay here
is not the reason why I came
chorus…
palm trees don’t shade me from anything
it still pours when it rains
under the hollywood sky
there’s no shade but there’s still no light
palm trees don’t shade me from anything
it still pours when it rains
palm trees don’t shade me, don’t shade me from anything
this place
there’s something about this place
never lacking a siren
or gunshots firing
I am not amused
at the 11 o’clock bad news
if one town holds the answer
why is everyone confused?
4. Get Away
the hold is too tight
no energy to fight
what’s going on inside
I’ve tried my mind
against my heart’s jury too many times
I’m chilled to the bone
my heart set in stone
leave me alone
my mind is not my only home
chorus…
you know I tried to get away now,
and then I lost my mind
I lost my mind
but it always finds me again
I tried to get away
I couldn’t run fast enough
heart’s control and a mind’s love
I’m tethered in between
I’m chilled to the bone
my heart set in stone
leave me alone
it’s not easy to please me
oh please won’t you let me out
chorus…
leave me alone
5. Lost Time
everything’s lost
nothing is saved
with your closed eyes
everything stops
but the clock’s
in lost time
I know why
I was lost in my own mind
I know why
I am lost in lost time
chorus…
I wanted you
and I needed you to say
that you still wanted me
and you needed me in my own worst way
everything’s fine
but nothing is right
with your closed heart
everything stops
but the clocks
that don’t start
6. Wonderland
she cries alone tonight
her eyes drift away
nothing can save her
she decided a long time ago
I am the fool who never told her I loved her so
no one was caring
as she was wearing her heart on her sleeves
I love a girl who’s not afraid to bleed
but now I wish she had cut me
she dies alone tonight
the world is fast asleep
there are so many people with problems like hers
why can’t they see?
they all have someone like me
and now she’s gone
and I am stuck here singing my sad song
she will never hear
chorus…
no one was caring
as she was wearing her heart on her sleeve
I love a girl who’s not afraid to bleed
but now I wish she had cut me
she died alone that night
where was I?
I was writing carefully
I was writing a letter to finally tell her
we could live happily ever after if she would fall in love with me
and now she’s gone
and I am stuck here singing my sad song
she will never hear
chorus…
deeper than razorblades can go
an answer I will never know
I can’t help but wonder
could we have saved each other?
she’s dead and I am dying
in wonderland
I wish she had taken me with her
I would be holding her hand
we could be in heaven or hell, it don’t matter
we could be in wonderland
7. On the Outside
something’s going on here
something’s going wrong here
I think I can tell you why
we don’t look anyone in the eye anymore
and nobody says hi anymore
it doesn’t seem right
how we’re all zombies in a line
but everyone is on the defense
assuming enemies doesn’t make much sense
how can we be unified
if no one tries?
chorus…
as smart as we are
we all live on the outside
yes you and I and everyone
we all feel like it’s safer here
like it’s better here on the outside
and I know why
because it’s true
you don’t know them and they don’t know you
so climb over your walls now
if everyone stands tall now
we’ll all see eye to eye
i don’t know how to fix the problem yet
but this problem keeps on happening
this complex needs to die
we can be the ones who rid this plague
the generation who changes everything
you know you want to
you know you feel the same as I do
chorus…
but it’s okay someday
we’ll remember the days when we used to live on the outside
yes you and I and everyone
we will be done
living on the outside
8. Save Yourself
there’s a way now
there’s a way to live alright
I don’t wanna be in anguish or misery no more
I know that I’m ok now
I’m the one who’s saved now
and I know there’s no other way
chorus…
the roof is caving in
and the bricks are falling down
I am standing on the edge of my life
I am screaming at the sky
will someone tell me why no one’s there?
save yourself
I am floating
my toes have the edge
I don’t need a crutch to hold me up no more
I believe this life is tragic
I know this life is magic
I was tricked the day I was born
chorus…
all the candles in the world
they could never light my way
I am stranded in a sentence and I have nothing to say
if i could only rest in peace
if i could only rest at all
I would close my eyes and go to sleep and wait for life to call me home
9. The Answer
take one step closer the the answer
and I will meet you there
I have never been there before
sometimes I wonder if there is one
I search the world around
and I’ve never found the truth
if there is one
no one seems to know
I know now I’ll never find the truth
and if you claim you’ve found it
I could never follow you
chorus…
time and aging
no one knows the truth of why the human race is racing
I know now I’ll never find the truth
and maybe I wasn’t supposed to
take one step closer the the answer
and I’ll stay here
don’t think I wanna know
sometimes my questions go unanswered
I search the world around
that’s how it’s supposed to go
and truth, if there is one
no one seems to know
chorus…
sometimes I wonder if there is one
sometimes I wonder if I care
sometimes I feel it in my blood
running deep from the bottom of my feet
to the top of my head
and I run
I search the world around
10. Ambiance
I don’t believe
in anything
I’d rather be living a dream
and when I die
I won’t be going to sleep
‘cause nothing can stop the forever me
nothing in this world
could ever wake me
chorus…
I won’t listen to what they say
I won’t contend in the games they play
I just need some time for my mind to rest
listen to the records that I love best
something ‘bout the music that soothes my soul
supplies me with the ladder to climb out of my holes
it’s not the beat or the words of the song
it’s the ambiance
let it breathe
the best are the ones that are deep
the rest are the ones you can’t keep
hold it in for while
this is what heals me
chorus…
I don’t believe in anything, I am living a dream
11. One Great Wonder
if there’s a will
there’s a way
there’s a wonder
blazing fire and calming water
it’s a war of two worlds
and neither calms the other
Nothing compares and nothing can stop the push and pull deep inside
waiting for life far beyond my mind
chorus…
one great wonder, internally
why can’t our hearts put our minds at ease
we think we can cover, but souls don’t lie
sometimes we find our hearts as we lose our minds
and it rips me apart
a mastermind
pulls the king of hearts
I know it’s true
it’s the wonder that drives you
and I know that I’m alive
chorus…
something in the way she says
she loves me
what is wrong with me?
what is wrong with my mind?
she loves me
12. Evolution
I can feel it
I know it’s coming on
I feel it in my blood
like the rays of the sun
I sense the winds of change
blasting thru my veins
chapter of my life
without a single written page
I can feel it
closer than before
it’s too late to stop what calls for change
chorus…
and we will waste away
we’ll find our way
thru the evolution
we will know the same
when it comes again
we will find our way
thru the evolution
I can feel it
I know it’s coming near
silencing the past
and the future’s all I hear
I’m never not afraid
but believing keeps me safe
something leads to something else
and time leads the way
i can feel it
closer than before
it’s too late to stop what calls for change
chorus…
