Tightly gripped – my hand on my gun
My finger on the trigger and you are all in my scope now
My ego’s getting bigger and the world is looking so much smaller now
This is the land of the free – I’ll do what I want – do as I please
No gun - no respect – no time to reflect
People have died for this so since we’re getting used to it
I might as well use my gun
Shoot it enough and it starts to become a little fun
Bang Bang – I feel the power
My freedom needs protection on this hour
My fingers on the keys – The people will hear my voice now
I don’t have the answer – so I'll invent another witch hunt somehow
This is the land of the free – I’ll do what I want – do as I please
No voice - no respect – no time to reflect
People have lied for this so since we’re getting used to it
I might as well use our gun
Shoot it enough and it starts to become a little fun
Bang Bang – I feel the power
My freedom needs protection on this hour
When I say take this gun from my cold dead hand
There's a certain pride that rings in me and I feel much more of a man
Pride runs through my veins and I am free
Because I can
Because I am
Because I need you to understand
My point of view and you will see
That’s what freedom really means to me
So look into this gun and into my eye
And raise your hands in prayer high
It's as easy - as easy as 1 2 3
Just point and click and you will be Free

Crash Me
04:55
|

I’m not done with the things I said I’d do
And I’m not finished coming after you
My head was broken on the side of the road
Now I've cleaned up and I’m in control
Got to get another... another taste of you
One shot - hit the road - you drive me out of control
Lust and Speed - Got to get the crash and burn I need
I’m getting ready to take you on another run
Put on your gloves, buckle up and have some fun
You’ve got to have the courage to embrace your dreams
I’m gonna strap you in and make you scream
You know this rollover could be the final one
Lock - Load - Drive me out of control
The Lust – The Speed - Got to get the crash and burn I need
Well I’m not ashamed that I looked at the blood on the Highway
Baby hitch a ride with me – I think you’re going my way
We’re cut and we’re bruised but it feels so right the next day
I’ve got to heal up for another round of you...
We’ll I’m not sorry for the things I have to say
I was never one for guilt or penance anyway
You see I’m in love with your favorite sin
So open right up and let me in
I’ve got to get another crash today
Lock - Load - Drive me out of control
The Lust – The Speed - Got to get the crash and burn I need
One shot - Hit the road - Drive me out of control
The Lust – The Speed - Got to get the crash and burn I need

I hid a part of me from the world who sold my soul for free
Yet each day that passes by is a cost I can’t deny
But as they slept this piece I kept - it grew and grew inside of me
And now I finally have the strength give it another try
I hope I’ve learned to love and accept the things you take for granted
I hope I’ve truly found my way
I’ve got to try to learn to forgive and ignore the thoughts they planted
Or this empty shell is here to stay
It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to question why
It’s time to find a way
To leave nothing for tomorrow which can be lived for today
So I’ve been here for years and years and know the steps I’ve made
It’s not too late to face the truth and stop this whole fucking crusade
Who’s who to say who is right?
I’m offended by the fact that we must accept that freedom will only come with a fight
It’s time to say goodbye
It’s time to question why
It’s time to find a way
To leave nothing for tomorrow which can be lived for today
To leave nothing for tomorrow which can be lived for today

This Secret
05:21
|

I feel important because I know something you don’t know
And I… I believe… I believe in trust
And I want you to feel important too
So for this little secret we must…
We must keep it locked inside; keep it held within the circle of us
I feel so alive - this urge to tell you things
When we have this between us – I feel the excitement that it brings
So love this pact between us – Love this pact between us
Lover
Love this pact between us – Love this pact between us
Lover
We feel together – closer now we share this common bond
And we... We can confide... in the things we know
And I want you... To feel special too
So this sacred gift you can never show
We must keep it over others, keep it buried deep within our soul
I feel so alive - this urge to tell you things
When we have this between us – I feel the excitement that it brings
So love this pact between us – Love this pact between us
Lover
Love this pact between us – Love this pact between us
Lover
All this time... You kept it locked inside
This weight is killing me – paranoia takes my mind
You've kept it hidden well - so don't call it betrayal
Just this once, can I tell?
Just this once, can I tell?
Just this once, can I tell?
Can I tell that you love me?
Love this pact between us...

Sate
05:01
|

My hands were always there for you but you didn’t sway
Drove the nails in them to make it real
Thought maybe then you’d stay
Now years and years have gone and others have had their say
The story keeps changing on its own there’s much more missing today
If you’d love me
If only you’d love me
You’d be safe
If you’d love me
Oh If only you’d love me
You’d be saved
My heart has bled and beat for you and I – I give love
Wrote a book of words explaining truth
And the The Beauty Above
All my patience pouring through and all this pushing shoves my belief on you
And yet I’m not what your thinking of
But if you’d love me
If only you’d love me
You’d be safe
If you’d love me
Oh If only you’d love me
You’d be saved
If salvation isn’t enough –this moment could be tough
I’ll have no other way to see you through
If I can’t make you believe and want to be with me
I just don’t know what damage He might do
You can’t imagine the Hell He’ll put you through
If you’d love me - If you'd love me
You’d cheat fate
And all your fears and all your questions would go away
And the promises for salvation I could sate
So if you'd love me, if you'd love me - you would stay

Wake Up

You never really had the chance to find a reason
And you never really had the chance to find your way
She never had a problem taking daddy’s money
Oh she never had trouble making sure you’d pay
So let’s go
You never had a more life defining moment
And you never ever had a better time than now
Years of falling, years of crawling behind them
But now you’re rising far above the crowd
So let’s go
Wake up – to the sound of screaming
You wake up – to the sight of a whole new day
All your life surrounded with no meaning
But I am still right here to show you the way
So wake up

The Line
07:55
|
|||
We meet – as one – in truth – and in love
We twist – and turn – and grow – and we learn
To be – viewed as one – answer – to no one
Then fate – wrought in hate – turns you – on me
Drew a line in the sand – and things go just as planned - for you – but as - for me
You crossed the line - With me this time
You crossed the line - You crossed the line - You crossed the line
It hurts – it stings – I’m sick – It brings
The worst – in me – and now – I see
My life – My death – demands – your breath
I know – this time – I’ve drawn – the line
Drew a line in the sand – and things go just as planned - for you – but as - for me
You crossed the line - With me this time
You crossed the line - You crossed the line - You crossed the line
(Frustration) and Trepidation to Meditation and Motivation
I’ll twist this tension (and apprehension) to an invention - Of a whole new Me
You crossed the line - You crossed the line away from me
You crossed the line - You crossed the line to far to see
that I’m on my own – I’m on my own now - I’m crossing my own line
All alone – I’m all alone now – and I feel just fine
Far away there's someone else - who's feeling just like me
All alone - their future unknown - they're beginning to learn how to see
It's been so long - after all this time - I really want you to believe
Take my hand after all this time and cross right over with me

Everything has been written and everything has been done
Every word has been spoken and every song has been sung
The only thing you can do now – is live for yourself
The only thing you can do now– is reach for something else
I remember the moment
You don't think so but I do
I still remember those words you said
Remember them coming true
The only thing I can do now - is say goodbye to you
The only thing I can do now - is reach for something new
Reach for Something New
