All Those Fears Come To Life

I went to bed hoping for a new day
I fell asleep and then they came

All my deepest fears in my dreams
carrying me straight to that place
I don't want to..no...want to see

And those fears come to life
every time i try..try to fight

Something inside bursts aloud
I scream and claw to get out

But for some reason
I just lay there still
once again she's in control
of my mind body and my soul

There's no chance to run away
this slumbers rage and rock n roll
so in my memory I'll just look away

Oh i can't let her win
if I'm gonna keep my sanity
gotta believe in my faith of me
close my eyes and dream her away

Can't listen to her lies
cuz if i do
I know I'm gonna die

She's everywhere I'm gonna look
she's every place I'm gonna be

She's in my mind
she's got her hooks

Dug in deep so they will bleed
i can't even shake her from my sleep

Please someone wake me up
shake my bed like an earth quake
pound on my door with ferocity
wake every one including me

Please don't leave me here
caught in a nightmare with her
she scratches at my every thought
sinks her teeth in and tears me out

And those fears come to life
every time i try..try to fight

Something inside bursts aloud
I scream and claw to get out

But for some reason
i just lay there still

Once again she's in control
of my mind body and my soul

Ya all my deepest fears
carrying me straight to that place

Please don't leave me here
she scratches at my every thought
sinks her teeth in and tears me out

She sinks her teeth in and tears me out
she sinks her teeth in and tears me out
sinks her teeth in, sinks her teeth in
and tears me out

All This Life

Well a negative can be a positive
when you're sitting home alone
and people can become real animals
when they plan to steal your bones

The creak of the door is your only warning
that someone's come a calling in the night
they want to remain in the darkness
they want to steal your thoughts without a word

So hard to put your trust in someone
so hard to let them come on in
too heavy is the price one pays
when you want the love to begin

You know there's always some danger
when you leave to go out on your own
there's evil in the hearts of strangers
when they're hell bent on bringing you down

Down down down...ya..ya...ya
bringing you..bringing you
down....down......down

So you....look to the sky
saying...oh lord take me now
there's nothing left of me
to give to someone in return

Everything that was my world
ripped from me..from my chest
even though i gave it my all
even though i gave it my best

I got...no more hope
and I've lost all my dreams
all the things that i believed
and i think I've lost the reason
for what it is all this life really means

From Each Other

well the moon is on the move again
coming out from behind the clouds
racing

it stirs up those old feelings
and i get all into a whirl
just thinking
ya..wondering
where you are tonight
girl

and if you think of me
once in a while
if you remember
the kiss that we shared
under the moonlight
when the stars shined so bright

it's as if they all knew
that it was destiny
to end up here
ridiculously alone
wishing for a repeat
to savor the moment
again

i can't help re-living the experience
seeing you in my dreams every night
cant seem to get you to disappear
from my mind or thought

there's the way you look at me
you don't even blink
keeping me in focus
in the warm soft bright
moon light

and holding you in my arms
was the only goal worth chasing
because it was you that kept me strong
anything else was just wrong

it's like we were meant to be one
like the world couldn't spin
if we were split apart
but here we are
miles and miles from each other

you know
some things have to have the pain
stems from way deep inside
to let us know what we're missing
to give us something other than pride

I Had a Dream

when i was young
i had a dream
ya it stuck with me
throughout most of my years

then life hit me oh so hard
punched me in the gut
ya it made me bleed

dragged me through the love
lifted me up and threw me down
stomped on my heart with its heel

after that the dream was lost
i didn't even try to pretend
i just wanted to be by myself
get to know the person in the mirror

and before i knew it life had passed
my soul content it's who i knew
no one to hurt me anymore

just trying not to dream
putting it all in the past
isn't that what you would do
won't you tell me honestly

but life is funny
about how it won't let go
bring you back in the circle
from the straight and narrow

and i remember
when i was young
i had a dream
ya it stuck with me
throughout most of my years

then life hit me oh so hard
punched me in the gut
ya it made me bleed

dragged me through the love
lifted me up and threw me down
then it
stomped on my heart with its heel
ya as hard as it could

grinding me into the dirt
trying as it might
to really make it hurt

what good is a life without a dream
something to believe in
something to make you smile
to make you want to wake up

just to hear her voice again
but now that's all gone
it's all over... forever
it's not what i wanted
but she said she had to go

what good is a life without a dream
something to believe in
something to make you smile
to make you want to wake up

when i was young
when i was young
ya..when i was young
when i was young
when i was young
ya...i had a dream

wasn't there ever enough

holding you close to me
at least in my memory tonight
there's this sadness left
something of great loss
a big chunk of my heart

somehow over time
I'm still thinking of you
it's just like yesterday
this feeling i have
like you still are in my arms

but i know its just a fantasy
there's something inside
that just doesn't want to let go
so here i am thinking of you
i cant get these tears to quit

so once in a while
i hear your name
on the lips of our friends
and i turn around thinking
you're gonna walk in

what's wrong with me
i know we let go
why does my heart
not want it to end

my mind was made up
and so was yours
so why do i want to re-capture
the good when we began

seems like something inside me
never wanted it to end

(repeat from beginning)

I Hope He's Late

Ya I'm coming home
and thinking to myself along the way
I'm gonna be on time this time

Cuz i don't want to
see your sad face pouting
the dinner's gotten cold
and you're not warming
up to me tonight

Such a sad sad face
you've turned that smile
you always had upside down
I've been working much too late
and now you're feeling all alone

It's another crazy day
laid down before me
i can't help but watch the clock
not wanting to disappoint

Time moves so slow
when you watch it go
and then it flies away so fast
ya before you know

It's been the past
and it's been the present
it's the future
that we can't tell

Hope for the best
that's all we can do
that's all we can do

Now you say you've
had it way up to here
you can't survive not knowing
if our love will prevail

Baby can't you see
get your head out of the clouds
every thing that i do
i do it for you
ya i do it for you

Working past daylight
I'm coming home to you
my fingers bleeding to the bone
and when i get home
you're not even there

the lights are off
all your stuff is gone
the place is empty
not even a courtesy note
you couldn't even wait
to say goodbye
there's only echos off the walls

You even turned the phone off ?
just how am i supposed to call you ?
you know i got a lot to say
like uh...wheres my laundry ?
wheres my clothes ?
where's the dogs bowl ?
how much do i feed the cat ?
when is the rent due ?
my credit cards are maxed ?
wheres all that food we bought
just the other day ?
where's the rest of my paycheck ?

Hey you're not fooling anyone
you ain't coming back
you plan to stay gone don't you

Well fancy that..hope he's worth it
hope he's late to all your dates
hope he's late to all your dinners
late all those fancy parties you want to go to

Your food wasn't all that great anyways
why do you think i was always working overtime
you almost burnt the house down one time
come to think about it
how come all those firemen knew your name ?

Why Should I Believe In You

Don't know what time of day
don't care cuz it's all the same
never know when direction comes
cuz I'm blown by all the "whens"
you know
sometimes new doesn't mean begin

My heart is in my hand
broken promises like a sea of glass
and i can't seem to break it apart
even from the heat of this hell
you always put me through

So here i await
hoping for a sign
from God, the stars or you
you love to make me wait
never an answer nor the truth

So tell me
why should i believe in you
you never show yourself
you never run to my side
you never help to hold me up
always somewhere else

Inside I'm breaking up
inside I've lost my hope
inside I'm deeply cut
inside when the tears well up
inside I've lost my light
inside I'm crying out

Is this what you call love
is this the way you love
is this the way you get out
is this how you run to hide
is this so you don't get hurt

So here you make me wait
I'm hoping for a sign
from God, the stars or you
you love to make me wait
never giving me an answer or the truth

You can run and hide
all you want, all your life
but you'll never escape the truth
you gotta live with yourself
when you break the bond of love

Inside I'm breaking up
inside I've lost my hope
inside I'm deeply cut
inside when the tears well up
inside I've lost my light
inside I'm crying out

Is this what you call love
is this the way you love
is this the way you get out
is this how you run to hide
is this so you don't get hurt

So tell me love
why should i believe in you
when you never show yourself
when you never run to my side
when you never help to hold me up
when you're always somewhere else

Fly Baby Fly

I can see
there's some unsaid
i can tell
it's lingering on your lips

Something you want to say
but you would rather not
so you turn and run away

Run away...run away
as far as you can go
you run away
and you're gonna fall

You're just gonna take it in
letting them babble with a grain of salt
putting the blame on you
making it all your fault

I tried and i tried
to make you see the light

But you wouldn't listen to me
too much going on inside your head
too much coming down on you
at least that's what you said

Now you've flown the scene
you didn't even say goodbye
maybe that's what i saw that day
when you wouldn't look me in the eye

I can see
there's some that's unsaid
i can tell
it's lingering there on your lips

Something you want to say
but you would rather not
so you turn and run away

You run away...run...run away
as far as you can go
you run away
and you know you're gonna fall

You're just gonna take it in
letting them babble with a grain of salt
putting the blame on you
making it all your fault

You're gonna fall from grace
especially when i find out
just what it is you did
why you felt so disgraced
you couldn't even talk

I tried and i tried
to make you see the light

But you wouldn't listen to me
too much going on inside your head
too much coming down on you
at least that's what you said

Fly baby fly
you gotta get as far as you can
you gotta hide away

Cuz you fear
they're gonna be coming for you
and drag you back to me

It's all in your mind
this fantasy that's blinded you
dreams that came to life
your eyes playing tricks on you

What will you do
they're laying their hands upon you
telling you what you want to hear

Trying to force you
to go against your will
but you wont let them win
you're not not gonna let them in

Try as they might
they can't make you see the light
you're not gonna let them in

No-one's gonna know your sin
no-one's ever gonna know
what it is that you did

You're just gonna take it in
letting them babble with a grain of salt
putting the blame on you
making it all your fault

Making it all your fault
making it all your fault
making it all your fault

Fly baby fly
you gotta get as far as you can
you gotta hide away
you gotta hide away
you gotta hide away
