Be the One

I didn't want to believe
i wanna block out the truth
i wish it was yesterday
so i can be here with you

I guess i should of seen the signs
i should of known something was wrong
but in my defense you didn't let it on

Saying you were staying out at your friends
while after work I'm sitting home all alone
wondering where you are and who's holding you

I wake in the morning
just as you're coming in the door
your hair is all messed up
eye shadow across your face
I've seen that look before

Oh i didn't want to believe
i just wanna block out the truth
and i wish it was yesterday
so i can be here with you

Now it's too late.
oh ya way too late
to turn back the hands of time
i see you for who you are

Standing before me in a daze
like you had your hands
caught in the cookie jar

So this is where we are
i guess i should of seen the signs
i should of known something was wrong

Saying you were staying out at your friends
while after work I'm sitting home all alone
wondering where you are and who's holding you
but in my defense you didn't let it on

Oh i don't want to believe it
i wanna block out the truth
and i wish it was yesterday
so i could be the one

To let you go
to let you go
you know i wanna be the one
to let you go

I wanna be the one
i wanna be the one
i wanna be the only one

To let you go
to let you go

Ya i wanna let you go
ya i wanna let you go

I wanna be the one
i wanna be the one
be the one , be the one
be the one , be the one

I keep sinking

What is this power
you have over me
no matter what i do
i can't break free

And although I try
with all of my might
i cant seem to take flight

Oh i keep sinking in way too deep
and i keep falling with surprise

I could flee to the end of the world
and you would already be there waiting for me

The time is right, can't you see
the planets are all aligned just for me
the force of this pressure calling me

Too much has gone on
the bridge we stand on
has fallen in the stream

Oh i keep sinking in way too deep
and i keep falling with surprise

I could flee to the end of the world
and you would already be there waiting for me

So don't you try, following
don't you get up in front

Cuz i don't want to see you again
i don't wanna be that person
you wanna call your friend

You keep clinging on
i know you don't wanna let me go

But this heart of mine
just can't handle it
there's no more love

Oh i keep sinking in way too deep
and i keep falling with surprise

What is this power
you have over me

What is this power
you have over me

Oh i keep sinking
i keep sinking
i keep sinking in way too deep

Raising My Hands

Some people put me down
but i don't judge them

Some people do me wrong
but would rather think
them unintentional

Because if i give in to them
i have to loose my faith
in my fellow man

And time is too short
to put them up before me
when there's no thank you
from none of them

So i raise my hands
in dis-belief
not trying to make an effort
to understand

God's master plan
how it affects me
how to live, how to stand

But still i keep moving on
ever forward, towards the sun

My time is almost done
and still I haven't found
what it is I'm looking for

This heart of mine
has seen them come and go
it's known the loss
of love you know

Don't you believe in me
I'm holding my heart in my hand
giving you the man I am

It's all that i have in this world
that i can truly call my own

Are you looking through my windows
can you tell what you see
is there a future for you and me

Or do i raise my hands
in dis-belief
and try not to make the effort
to even understand

About God's master plan
how it affects me
how it affects you

How am i to live
how am i to make a stand
without you by my side
on this crazy roller coaster ride
that we call... life

It Always Says

I'm dying ... I'm dead
because you penetrated me
deep
now there's blood red writing on the wall
ya it always says it all

Bringing on the doom
all the aftermath and the gloom
til the dust do us part
it started from the start

Lip stick on the mirrors
incomprehensible from the smears
death smells from the love
it looms from up above

Ya I'm dying .. now I'm dead
there's ringing in my head
the voices don't want me to speak
but my heartache makes me leak

There's no misunderstanding
what it is we're still planning
vengeance has no time limit
it's all about
what you're really ready to admit

And we all want to know
just who will be the one to blame
when it all comes down in flames
who's love was wild and untamed

Ya I'm dying .. now I'm dead
so let's let it stay unsaid

Your silence says it all
and when you look away
the message is so clear
you would rather be with them
than to be right here

Ya I'm dying ... now I'm dead
because you penetrated me
really deep
now there's blood red writing on the wall

And you know, and you know
what it says
it always says it all

And you know, and you know
what it says

It always says it all
it always says it all
it always says it all

In To the Light

Don't you know the lights
way down low
almost out of sight

Don't you know the sounds
perfectly tuned
an LP turning to the right

Don't you know the feel
soft to the touch
you in the moonlight

Don't you remember the dance
skin tight dress
turning round and round

Now whats this
our future
one plus one equals two

Now whats this
the product of our love
her eyes look just like you

Now whats this
the years have flown by
its time i have to leave you

Reap What You Sow

What do you want
what is your need
desperation and beliefs
one and all
they make you bleed

Internal sunshine
will scorch you thru and thru
the midnight madness
will feed the fuel

Don't believe them
when they call
just defend yourself
from the fall

Run and hide
because they will kill you
if they catch you
they'll skin you alive

Evil woman
you speak with a forked tongue
always whining with your plans
of global domination
to get rid of every man
ya we don't need them
and we'll prove it
time after time

Now we won't go down
without a fight
I'm here to tell you
Evil woman
this will be the night

Steel to steel
heart to heart
fire in our eyes
thrusting with our thighs
firm and stanched
with all our blows

We fall to our knees
stricken with disbelief
too many lies
too many plans of deceit

You know one's gotta go
you reap what you sow
Ya that's right
you reap what you sow

Cant Take It

I cant take it anymore
gonna shovel your evil shit
right out the front door

Ya i cant take it anymore
your constant bullshit
honestly drives me insane

The way you talk to me
screeching like an owl
my ears filled up
with this grating twisted pain

Do you ever shut up
and listen when others talk
its like you really get off
the more you have to over speak

I'm so tired my legs are weak
trying to run to any room
from you there's no escape

And i cant take it anymore
gonna shovel your evil shit
right out the front door

Ya i cant take it anymore
your constant bullshit
honestly it drives me insane
to the point of doom

Why cant you be happy
with the way things are
we cant change the past
and our future is untold

Cant hold back the hands of time
a new world turns up at dawn
change is ever near
no matter what you hear

I can't take it...anymore
I can't take it...no no no
i can't take it, i can't take it
i can't take it...anymore
(repeat)

Maybe There's Still Some Hope

If it takes time I'll be here waiting
my dying breath until the day is done
there's still hope in the break of dawn
we should of seen it coming
we should of anticipated the rush
there's no going back the deed is done
wishful thinking reading lips along the way
somethings just up on our horizon
but the path is blocked with blood
there will come a time for dreaming
deep deep sleep will be forgiving
the silver thread cut for eternity
now you descend from up above 
leading the rest with all your lies
you take way too many chances
always on the run from you and I
always on the run from you and I
always on the run from you and I
if it takes time I'll be here waiting
on my dying breath until the day is done
on my dying breath until the day is done
on my dying breath until the day is done
there's no going back the deed is done
there's no going back the deed is done
ya we should of seen it coming
we should of anticipated the rush
wishful thinking reading lips along the way
somethings just up there on our horizon
maybe there's still hope in the break of dawn
ya maybe there's still some hope in the break of dawn
ya maybe there's still some hope in the break of dawn

Who Knew

Who knew, who knew
how things get all turned around
when you're forced
to play it day by day

What a wonder when you are near
the angels seem to sing
what a surprise when you're gone for so long
trouble follows you through the door

My life as i know it gets all mixed up
the days are jumbled
even time seems to stand still
i don't know which way i just came

You keep leading me on and on
how you can drop me and be so cold
my heart feels like its in the valley of doom
where the darkness awaits to consume
and heartache claims to be the reddened rule

Who knew, who knew
how things get all turned around
when you're forced
to play it day by day

Times of trouble double deep
crimes of passion my blood at your feet
my heart in your hands split from end to end
no room for me with your sin

Dripping seething with despite
you're gonna try to win every fight
you've already lost your soul
the evil inside grows and grows

Who knew, who knew
how things get all turned around
when you're forced
to play it day by day

Who knew, who knew
how things get all turned around
when you're forced
to play it day by day

Who knew, who knew
how things get all turned around
when you're forced
to play it day by day

Who knew, who knew
how things get all turned around
when you're forced
to play it day by day
