This Is Happening
03:44

|
I knew I was in trouble when I looked into your eyes.
Addictive personalities yearning to collide.
And the more you felt the music, the more you fanned a fire,
stoking white hot flames of a burning desire.
Your tight red dress with a zip up the side and those high heel boots reaching right up your thighs.
You grabbed hold of my wrist and consumed my existence,
I said to myself something like this;
I said "Oh my god, I can't believe this is happening."
Drive out to the breaking point and pass it on the right.
Put your foot down hard, let's scream into the night.
When bells start to ring and a siren is singing,
Pump the brakes on reality and tuck it out of sight.
A mental picture nicely framed up on a shelf.
With every ounce of memory, I'll keep it for myself.
You granted a wish that I'm sure going to miss.
My inner insanity sounds like this;
It goes "Oh my god, I can't believe this is happening."
It goes "Oh my god, I can't believe this is happening."
Why do the best things hurt the most?
And why was I too numb to look too close?
And why does it have to be this way?
'Cause I am going absolutely crazy.
Climb out of the wreckage with a smile across my face.
Happiness grows bold in the strangest of places.
With my hands on your hips and your teeth on your lips,
Passion took hold with a vice like grip.
But I never made a promise with intent to follow through,
So, listen very close and you might just hear the truth.
I'm a man with consistent conflicting conditions, constantly conning confidence.
And you'll say "Oh my god, I can't believe this is happening."
You'll say "Oh my god, I can't believe this is happening."
You'll say "Oh my god, I can't believe this is happening."

Erica

With passion and youth we made love by the pool in the warm spring air.
We'd sneak out of school and break all their rules, we had love to spare.
Then I withdrew and one became two in disrepair.
But, you played it cool when I turned the fool.
It was so unfair.
Erica
Wish I could rewind, no longer pine and be led astray.
I'd ask myself why you're no longer my lady and I must close my eyes to envision my Aphrodite.
With a wave and a sigh, oceans of time swept you away.
Erica
The years passed us by while you held on tight to someone else.
Awake in the night, I'm trying to reunite myself.
And there's a burning desire for those sapphire eyes again.
Well, I'd walk on that wire, I'd walk through that fire for you again.

Liberty Hell
04:19
|
|||
|
You take me for a fool and take the reins to break me, then take the full advantage and take all my money.
You put your puppet on the hill with a passion for the kill.
It's a mess all right.
Oh, trapped inside the shell
Oh, of liberty hell.
We love the entertainment of the death on our screens, and never take the time with open eyes to really see.
Social media schemes feed clickbait dreams.
We're not learning right.
Oh, the media spell
Oh, on liberty hell.
Oh, we ingest what they sell
Oh, to liberty hell.
They've got the cure to beat it, but the secret won't sell.
Got to keep their profit margins flying off the shelves.
They've got pills for you and pills for me.
We're not feeling right.
Oh, the chemical swill
Oh, of liberty hell.
Whoah, oh, we're too high to fail
Oh, in liberty hell.
You give us freedom to be all that we can be, just toe that line and love the right party.
Never rock the boat, do what we're told, while you send away the young on the orders of the old.
We pay in blood to corporate thugs while you pull the rug and push dangerous drugs.
Lied, cheated and stole, all it cost was your soul in trade for mighty dollars backed with real fool's gold.
We starve while you feast free from moral binds.
Consumed by your greed, you're watching the world die.
Oh, don't ask and don't tell
Whoa, oh, in liberty hell.
Whoa, oh, we're all for sale
Whoa, oh, in liberty hell.
Whoa, oh, look how far we fell
Whoa, oh, down to liberty hell.

Built This Way
04:19
|
|||
|
When I wake up in the morning and see you lying there on the floor,
I know I must have pulled that trigger the night before.
Oh, why am I built this way?
Oh, how can I live this way?
Oh, where is my sense of my Soul?
So, I slip from this icy room and leave you lying there in your tomb.
It's time to go back to my wife.
It's not evil it's my life.
Oh, why am i built this way?
No, how can I live this way?
Oh, animal shell with no Soul.
Again I wake up in the morning, there's another you by my side.
I can finally be myself again.
Another morning, what's another life?
So, devil will eat today.
No matter how hard you pray.
Oh, I will devour your Soul.
You're different now, but you wear the same face,
and I won't remember your name.
I make sure just you has been left in this place and I walk.
Walk away.
Without a care.
Walk away without a care.
Walk away without a care.

The Promise
04:33

Hey there baby, why you crying?
It's not like this is your worst crime.
We used to meet here every night.
I'd help you kiss the world goodbye.
I see the way you burn for me.
I promise you'll feel like the very first time that I lied.
Come on, ante up and double down,
Before your mind comes all unbound.
Deep inside you, something's missing.
You're like an echo without a sound.
It's almost like it used to be.
That's right baby, just one more time.
It's incredible, the things I can make you believe.
You're invincible tonight and the world is yours.
The inevitable ending's the sweetest release.
Thanks for everything, my darling.
Now you know, of course, that I lied.
You're fading fast, take me back in.
Before reality bites you from within.
Oh baby, trust me, nothing can hurt you,
As long as you've got me under your skin.
And when I'm rushing through your veins,
I'll take you flying like I used to babe.
I'll be your guide through the unfamiliar.
Come with me and I can lead you through that wall of fire.
Eight million faces in a shattered mirror.
I said I love you, but, I never said that you would survive.
Yeah, I lied.
Oh, yeah, I lied.

Lay Down
05:08
|

|
What happened to the man I was before?
Something's gone wrong, it's impossible to ignore.
You picked me up right when I'd fallen flat.
You broke down my walls and drove away the black.
But make no mistake, I'll never break.
I'll fight through the aching when you walk out.
No give and all take, It's love to forsake.
I know what's at stake here when we lay down.
Lay down again.
I try to cry, fighting a stinging pain.
But that well's run dry with only myself to blame.
I can't deny I'm barely keeping intact.
I see your eyes, I just wish they'd see me back.
But make no mistake, I'll never break.
I'll fight through the aching when you walk out.
No give and all take, It's love to forsake.
I know what's at stake here when we lay down.
Lay down again.
My pulse is weak, I can't take anymore.
I'm torn in two with lust fighting love's war.
My plan is laid out, there ain't no going back.
I swear that I, I'm having a heart attack.
If I could rewind the music of time and bring back to the crossroads all I left behind.
Would I make those same damn choices, stack the deck and deal, or risk it all shadowboxing and faking religion out of fear?
Oh, but make no mistake, I'll never break.
I'll fight through the aching when you walk out.
No give and all take, It's love we forsake.
We both know what's at stake here when we lay down.
Lay down again.
Oh, lay down, lay down again.
Oh, I want to lay down, I want to lay down again.

I'm cast away, an island of despair
Pounded by the waves of raw emotion you lay bare.
As I stagger to the brink of madness
And watch you crushing out my soul's remains
Your smoke surrounds me while my life goes up in flames.
All ashen gray, you burned away my pride.
Your brilliant masquerade cast your shadows in plain sight.
Where passion threw me, screaming, toward disaster.
Shattered dreams of your porcelain face
Didn't matter as you watched me fall from grace.
I will run for so long.
And I will call until you come.
It's all been swept away.
There's nothing left but time and this heart's last charade
Beating inside the lies that blind.
No, you will never grieve my sadness.
No, you will never feel my pain.
Know I'll forever slowly go insane.
And I will run for so long.
And I will call until you come.
And I have run for so long.
And I have called, but you won't come.

Diamond Back
04:01
|
|||
|
Another victim of the road, choked on the dust of my soul.
Slow lonesome rumbles of the highway, forever calling me back home.
It's an uphill climb with the ending rolling out of sight
on this long black diamond back reaching for the fading light.
Next exit looming past the headlights, where even demons are alone.
A lonesome wanderer in the valley losing the fight to bitter cold.
I have to shade my eyes to reflections from the other side.
On this long black diamond back hitching for another ride.
But I've still got time, no matter how hard you tried.
On this long black diamond back searching for the end of time.
I'm gonna set my sights while I spread my wings and fly.
Over the long black diamond back leading to the end of the line.

Running Out of Time
05:09
|
|||
|
Coming out of the fog, I see your face.
An angel of mercy, my saving grace.
But I can sense your essence disappear,
And leave me drowning in the sea of my uncertainty.
Oh, those cracked and clouded memories mirror fragments of a lie.
Running out of time.
Splinters of reality soaked with fear
Seem so far away and yet so near.
I can feel my breathing, way too deep.
Fate has raped my soul of sleep as bells toll out for me.
Oh, exhausted and weak, I can't speak into the fire.
Running out of time.
Running out of space.
Pain grips my mind in her cold embrace.
A moment of clarity as life comes crashing down.
I realize what a fool I've been, but my voice has come unbound.
I took it all for granted, now I'm living my reflection.
Can I summon one last breath and find the path back to redemption?
Stumbling against the rising tide,
A lifetime echoes through my mind.
This has to be the way it ends.
A soul to rend I won't pretend you've not forgotten me.
Oh, but I can see it coming, and I'm at peace with knowing I'm
Running out of time.
Running out of space.
Pain grips my mind in her warm embrace.
'Cause I'm running out of time.
I'm running out of space.
I can see you in my mind, and yearn for your embrace.

Let Me Go
03:48
|
|||
|
Sittin' here wonderin' where the hell I am.
The clock on that floor says its four A.M..
I gotta get out, I gotta get out.
Hand on my head all soaked in sweat.
The look of my face says I should be dead.
It's time to wake up, oh, it's time to get out.
Let me go, I'm down on my knees.
Let me go, before it's too late.
Let me go, I can't take it anymore.
Let me go, before I break.
Sittin' here wonderin' what the fuck I did
To have my love ripped out and your pain shoved in from betrayal.
Your bitter betrayal.
Screaming at the light from the dark within,
Fighting through a life I've been forced to live in so much sadness.
Ooh, I'm in a shell of madness.
Let me go, I'm down on my knees.
Let me go, before it's too late.
Let me go, I can't take it anymore.
Let me go, before I break.
Sittin' here wonderin' who in the hell I am.
A broken down soul, an empty man.
You took my self out.
Yeah, you took my self out.
It's been a long, hard road, but I'm coming back.
You sent me on a trip but I jumped the track and found a way out.
Ooh, I found a way out.
I'm sick and I'm tired of living your sin.
Nothing left to say, nothing left to give.
I'm gonna take back me and give it all I've got.
Rip out your hooks and fire one last shot.
One. Last. Shot.
Let me go, I'm clutching my knees.
Let me go, It can't be too late.
Let me go, you can't have me anymore.
You can't have me anymore.
No, you can't have me anymore.
Let me go, I'm up off my knees.
Let me go, it's never too late.
Let me go, you can't have me anymore.
You let me go, and I'll never break.
I'll never break.
I'll never break.
No, I'll never break.
