Missy, Don't Leave Girl
03:01
|

I was driving down I-75 / with no hands on the wheel / trying to find the words that convey / the way that you make me feel / the cars fly by like all the times / that I could have said what I meant / and meant it / but those times there / in my rear view mirror / drift farther away
Now this liquor in my glass has failed / to wash away my past / where I said everything that I wanted to say / under my breath as you were
walking away / I feel at home when we’re alone / and lost when we’re with others / and will I find the words today / that will make you feel / the way
you make me feel
RIGHT NOW GIRL CAN’T YOU SEE / THE THINGS THAT WE COULD BE / AND I’M ON MY KNEE GIRL DON’T YOU LEAVE / ALL NIGHT ALL NIGHT CAN’T YOU SEE / THE THINGS THAT WE COULD BE / AND I’M ON MY KNEE GIRL DON'T YOU LEAVE / DON’T LEAVE
Well I’ll never be the president / but if you search your heart / you’ll find my love to be relevant / and I’ll stand in the DETROIT cold / and wipe the snow off your windows / until you see / that you’re the one for me

I have to move forward / and make anew / I’ve done all I can do / I’ve tried to take you / I’ve tried to break you / and I’ve tried to make you choose / and I’m starting to realize / when I look into your eyes / that love can be so cruel / CAUSE YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I WANT / AND I CAN’T HAVE YOU
I took you out to dinner / and that was grand / and in my bed / you can only imagine / the things I could do / when I’m with you girl / the skies are always blue / but the sunset has come and gone / the leafs fallen / the weapons drawn / point and fire at me / CAUSE YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I WANT / BUT YOU KNOW I’M THE ENEMY
But this love that I feel / it’s unbearably real / and bury it I can’t / YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I WANT / BUT YOU ALREADY KNOW THAT / YOU’RE THE ONE THAT I WANT / AND I’LL TRY NOT TO SHOW THAT / I have to move forward / make anew / and I have to get over you.

If we only knew / how to take this over / and make this world our own / we could live forever / never wondering / when it all will end / we can just be our own way / and no longer pretend
CAUSE WE LIVE / IN A WORLD THAT NOONE UNDERSTANDS / AND OUR LOVE / THEY CANNOT TAKE AWAY / THEY’LL STILL SAY THAT / OUR LOVE’S FORBIDDEN / BUT YOU WON’T EVER FEEL ALONE AGAIN
When we learn to try / we can take this over / this love it cannot die / it won’t fade away / no one chooses what completes them / and as strange as it may seem / the key to life is just to be / As paths we tread / were once untraveled
WE LIVE / IN A WORLD THAT NOONE UNDERSTANDS / AND OUR
LOVE / THEY CANNOT TAKE AWAY / THEY’LL STILL SAY THAT / OUR LOVE’S FORBIDDEN / BUT YOU WON’T EVER FEEL ALONE AGAIN.

I Hope I Find a Way
03:00
|
|||

So here I go again / I’m trying to make it on my own / and man I’m feeling so alone / this time I’ll get it right / this time I’ll make it all alright / and it’s all because of you
SO HERE I GO AGAIN / I’M OFF ON MY OWN / AND AS LONLEY I MAY BE / ONE DAY SHE’LL COME TO ME / I KNOW THAT I CAN FIND A WAY
As darkness turns to day / the nights grow shorter everyday / and each day closer do we grow / she makes the sun shine brighter / and daily burdens lighter / and I wish she weren’t so far away
SO HERE I GO AGAIN / I’M OFF ON MY OWN / AND AS LONELY I MAY BE / ONE DAY SHE’LL COME TO ME / I KNOW THAT I CAN FIND A WAY
As these days turn to nights / wish this didn’t feel so right / I can’t stop thinking about you / somehow I can’t stop waiting / for this all to go wrong / but for now all I want is you / is you
Now ever changing in this life / I never want to hear you say / that you and I will never be okay / cause as silly it may seem / your love is all I need / to find my light that shines within / I HOPE I FIND A WAY / DEAR GOD / I HOPE I FIND A WAY.

Back to California
03:11
|
|||
|
I see the summer passing by / and all our dreams of being forever / are fading memories / why does it have to be this way? / why can’t you be the one that stays today?
YOU’LL LEAVE LIKE THE ONES BEFORE YOU / YOU’LL LEAVE
OUR LOVE ASHORE / AS YOU SAIL ACROSS THE OCEAN / BACK TO CALIFORNIA / YOU’LL WASH OUR MEMORIES AWAY / AS I WATCH THE SEASONS CHANGE
It’s growing colder / I’m dwelling on the nights we shared / it’s a love we said would never end / the nights we spent all alone / and now we’re falling like the leafs / as we drift farther now / will you come back to me? / No
YOU’LL LEAVE LIKE THE ONES BEFORE YOU / YOU’LL LEAVE
OUR LOVE ASHORE / AS YOU SAIL ACROSS THE OCEAN / BACK TO CALIFORNIA / YOU’LL WASH OUR MEMORIES AWAY / AS I WATCH THE SEASONS CHANGE

We Lead the Way
03:52
|
|||
|
They are broken / they’ve been mislead / capsized by life’s tides / sinking / can’t swim / no one to save them / no one to lead them /
Every time I see your face / it takes me to a special place / a place that we will never know / cause that’s not where you wanna go / and everything we see / and everything that we believe / they’ll try and use against us / they’re trying to deceive / so we have to find a better way / to take the world by storm today / will every breath and every gasp / be taken like it’s been our last / are we going to embark? / or fade into the dark / forgotten like the others / who were too afraid to start / cause /
WE’VE GOT TO BE THE ONES / THAT MAKE THE CHANGE / NO ONE WILL DO THIS FOR US / WE LEAD THE WAY
We have to find a way / to save them / before we fade away / we’ve got to be the ones that take / our first steps / to take back what’s ours / before we’re washed away / left for dead / by this life that waits for no one
WE’VE GOT TO BE THE ONES / THAT MAKE THE CHANGE / NO ONE WILL DO THIS FOR US / WE LEAD THE WAY
They are broken / they’ve been mislead / capsized by life’s tides / sinking / can’t swim / no one to save them / no one to lead them / WE’VE GOT TO BE THE ONES / THAT MAKE THE CHANGE / NO ONE WILL DO THIS FOR US / WE LEAD THE WAY.

Where Were You
02:03
|
|||
|
Maybe I’m better off without you / you tell me that you miss me / and I was never there /
Well / WHERE WERE YOU / WHERE ARE YOU NOW / YOU THINK YOU KNOW / BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA / WHERE WERE YOU / WHERE ARE YOU NOW / YOU THINK YOU KNOW / BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA / WHAT YOU DO / where were you / cause you’re not here / where were you /
I put it all out there just for you / and I’m growing sick of your ‘take take’ state of mind / because now / you have left me stranded / with this one question on my mind /
WHERE WERE YOU / WHERE ARE YOU NOW / YOU THINK YOU KNOW / BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA / WHERE WERE YOU / WHERE ARE YOU NOW / YOU THINK YOU KNOW / BUT YOU HAVE NO IDEA / WHAT YOU DO / where were you / cause you’re not here / where were you / cause you’re not here.

The Lord of Greed
03:59
|
|||
|
Today / I pray / look to the sky / living a lie / Are noble hearts
consumed / exploited till we’re useless / then cast into the sea / and loyal still we’ll be / his answers we don’t question / as we follow blindly / the lies we cannot see /
CAUSE THE SHEPHERD’S LEADING US IN CIRCLES / LOST LIKE ALL THE SHEEP THAT HE LEADS / AND ENDLESSLY I SEARCH FOR ANSWERS / I’M SEARCHING FOR THE MISSING PIECES / THAT SAVE THE SHEEP FROM BEING SLAUGHTERED /
SACRIFICED IN GREED WE PRAY /
They tell them money doesn’t matter / as they slave away / dedicating their lives / so they’ll one day be free / the lord of greed enslaves the sheep / sheds their blood to fuel his need / bleeds them till they’re left with nothing / and wastes their life away /
THE SHEPHERD’S JUST A SHEEP IN SHEPHERD’S CLOTHING / LOST LIKE ALL THE SHEEP THAT HE’S TO LEAD / AND FOR ALL THE SHEEP I HAVE COMPASSION / FOR THEY MUST WADE THESE TROUBLED WATERS / AND I KNOW THEY’LL NEVER REACH THE SHORELINE / SACRIFICED IN GREED THEY PRAY /
Today / I pray / that they’ll see the light / before they die.

No End
02:43
|
|||
|
With the air that fills my lungs / and reeks of war and hate / people fight until there’s nothing left / until there’s no one else to blame / when I look outside my door / the middle-class becomes the poor / as million dollar mother fucks / demand that they make more /
WITH NO END / NO END / MONEY WON’T SATISFY YOUR SOUL / SO GO AHEAD / AND PRETEND / CAUSE MONEY WON’T SATISFY YOUR SOUL /
Another opportunity / to rob us blind / the land of freedom / yet so little stand / and fight for what is right / but you’re sure doing alright / as long as you monopolize / as thousands of our families / are left to rot and die /
WITH NO END / NO END / MONEY WON’T SATISFY YOUR SOUL / SO GO AHEAD / AND PRETEND / CAUSE MONEY WON’T SATISFY YOUR SOUL /
Land of the free / It’s home to you / and to me / land of the free /
but how free are we?

Seventeen
03:43
|
|||
|
Lets stop pretending / that we don’t breath the same air / that this life is unfair only to you / she thinks in her head / as she tries to calm him / his troubled mind a mess from what she said /
that she’s movin’ on
He sits in his room and weeps alone / he’ll wipe the tears to check the phone / for messages that she no longer sends / we’ll still be friends / it stares him down with no reply / so he grabs a knife / cause life ain’t worth living in / so he sticks it in /
SOMETIMES YOU CANT ESCAPE THE PAIN OF LOSING HOPE / WHEN THERE’S NOONE ELSE TO BLAME / WHEN SHE CAN’T TAKE AWAY YOUR PAIN / SOMETIMES THIS LIFE WILL TAKE THE ONES WE THINK WE NEED / DON’T GIVE UP SON / YOU’RE ONLY SEVENTEEN /
He wakes in a bright white room alone / he screams out loud / am I alive? / a man walks in and sits down next to him / and says hey friend / I know you’re young / and that’s okay / but life is not about what you can lose / but what you can give /
SOMETIMES YOU CANT ESCAPE THE PAIN OF LOSING HOPE / WHEN THERE’S NOONE ELSE TO BLAME / WHEN SHE CAN’T TAKE AWAY YOUR PAIN / SOMETIMES THIS LIFE WILL TAKE THE ONES WE THINK WE NEED / DON’T GIVE UP SON / YOU’RE ONLY SEVENTEEN.

Forbidden Love
04:09
|
|||
|
It’s a love that’s meant for failure / but I couldn’t hold back / a mended heart I chose to show you / now it’s broken back in half / Now I’m losing my mind / cause I always want what I can’t find / I need to mend this broken heart / but I don’t know how / heartbreak spilling from my veins /
FORBIDDEN LOVE / IT TAKES ME AWAY / FORBIDDEN LOVE / THIS HEART IS BATTERED IN THE FRAY /
Well I should have it coming / cause this happened many times before / but don’t hold your breath / cause we’re under water / and soon we’ll reach the ocean floor / And maybe there we’ll find the time / the time to let this love unwind / but for now the water fills my lungs / and I’m suffocating / unsure I’ll make it out alive /
FORBIDDEN LOVE / IT TAKES ME AWAY / FORBIDDEN LOVE / THIS HEART IS BATTERED IN THE FRAY /
It’s an unconditional comfort / that’s lacking comfort for condition / and now / gravity’s become our worst enemy / can we find strength to carry on? / FORBIDDEN LOVE / IT TAKES ME AWAY / FORBIDDEN LOVE / THIS HEART IS BATTERED IN THE FRAY.

Something About You
03:15
|
|||
|
One-thousand walls of insecurities / crushed by the wreaking balls of emotions / running wild / to turn and walk away / like everything’s okay / that is a play / which I cannot convey /
I CANNOT RUN / CANNOT ESCAPE / THESE FEELINGS ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE / THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU /
One-thousand miles or more / doesn’t seem so far / anytime that it is to see your face / smiling wide / the way you make me feel / with words I can’t describe / you make me never / want to leave your side
I CANNOT RUN / CANNOT ESCAPE / THESE FEELINGS ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE / THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU /
And every night / when the sun goes down / I can’t complain / cause I can feel your love / running through my veins / in times of darkness / in times of pain / your light brings presence / and makes it all okay / and I can’t complain / I CANNOT RUN / CANNOT ESCAPE / THESE FEELINGS ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE / THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU / I CANNOT RUN / CANNOT ESCAPE / THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU.

The Price of Silence
03:31
|
|||
|
Where do we draw the line? / the line that separates our perceived wrong from right / a line we draw with dollar signs / and let them penetrate / if they procure the price /
THE PRICE OF FEELING SO LOW / THE PRICE OF THEIR HANDS ON OUR THROATS / THE PRICE OF WANTING TO DIE / AND THE PRICE OF THE TEARS IN OUR EYES / THE LOSS OF OUR WILL TO SURVIVE / THE DEATH OF OUR SPIRIT INSIDE / CAN WE BEAR THIS LIFE THAT WE’VE CONTRIVED / THE ONE WE CAN NEVER CONFIDE /
We’ll hide behind the lies / the lies we tell ourselves / that everything’s alright / the lies that are what they imply / that money makes us numb to / the pain that we feel inside /
THE PAIN OF FEELING SO LOW / THE GROWING LACK OF CONTROL / THE PAIN OF WANTING TO DIE / AND THE PAIN OF THE FEAR IN OUR EYES / THE LOSS OF OUR WILL TO SURVIVE / THE DEATH OF OUR SPIRIT INSIDE / CAN WE BEAR THIS LIFE THAT WE’VE CONTRIVED / THE ONE WE CAN NEVER CONFIDE /
They’ll buy your silence / and they’ll leave you with nothing / IS MONEY WHAT YOU LIVE FOR? / AND IS IT WORTH THIS EMPTINESS YOU FEEL?
