About A Dream

It's all about a dream
It's all about a fantasy in me
It's all about a mood
It's all about a state of mind
What if I lose the dream | What if that fantasy is real
Will my mood go down | Will it change my state of mind
It's all about a window
It's all about a room spinning around
It's all about the rooftop
It's all about the basement in theis house
What if I break the window | Scattered all over the room
Will the roof come down | Will I ever be alone
I thought it over a thousand times a day
And this is what I came to
If God is the owner of the angels
Then I am the ruling master of the seas
I own the stars and the sun
And I want to have the wind one day come
It's all about family
It's all about a bond tying me down
It's all about the news
It's all about the faces in this town
Living is agony | I'm drowning in every possible way
Playing insanity | Help me out like yesterday

Fallin'

I'm a stranger | I am danger
I am bleeding and I'm the leading man
I'm a winner | I'm a sinner
I'm the convict and I'm the verdict
I'm a warning | I am dawning
I am aching and I am breaking through
I'm a double | I'm in trouble
I'm attraction | I need some action
I've been falling
I've been falling down forever
But now I've landed and I'm standing on my feet
I'm the lightning | I'm the thunder
I'm a breather and I'm the helping hand
I'm a monster | I'm an angel
I'm confused | I'm going under
I'm a stranger | I am danger
I am bleeding and I'm the leading man
I'm a monster | I'm an angel
I'm confused | I'm going under

All The Bills
03:44

|

All the bills are paid on time
And the house is always clean
The kids are playing in the yard
Like something from a movie scene
Mom prepares a wholesome meal
With all the vitamins they'll need
Daddy's hands around the wheel
As he drives into the street
But in the end it drives him crazy, believe me
Yes in the end it drives him crazy, believe me when I say
All the neighbors mow their lawns
And the driveway is always free
The dog is chewing on its bone
Singing bluebirds in the street
The pretty girl across the street
She's the nicest girl around
And all the young boys on the block
Are hoping to see her going down
The next door neighbor's gone insane
But he's not the one to blame
His lovely wife is still in bed
But with another man instead

Come On
06:15
|
|
||
|
Come on, show me that smile again
Come on, every now and then
It's alright to laugh about yourself
I know things have been tough so far
It's true everyone has a scar
It's alright to laugh about yourself
I do believe we could live together
I do believe we can make it better
Come on, show me those eyes again
You know things will go wrong my friend
If you don't laugh about yourself
Don't you give up that dream
Before you've tried everything, and what's more
Don't forget to laugh about yourself

Without A Clue
04:12
|
|
||
|
I wake up in the middle of the night
My heart is beating like a drum
The moon is shining oh so bright
But I can't handle that
A movie flashes through my eyes
Fast as lightning ready to strike
Fantasy pictures made of lies
But I can't handle that
If I'd die without a reason
If I'd change my attitude
If I'd call but no receiver
If I'm lost without a clue
Fear an danger is what I feel
I feel like I'm inside a box
Safety feelings so unreal
But I can't handle that
I wish for normal things to see
But even that can't help me out
I have to wait and let it be
But I can't handle that

Tomorrow
04:16
|
|
||
|
today you said the confusions in my head
are driving you crazy over the edge
I tried to explain but I'm taking all the blame
circles going around and 'round again
why don't you understand me
listen to the voice inside
do you want me to stay
do you want me to say that tomorrow never comes
in a day
if I told you to go
would you miss this tomorrow
follow the beat of your heart
you'll stay for a day
wake up too late
it's already half past eight
last nights problems are not yet solved I'm afraid
let's end the chase
make the pieces fall in place
I don't know how much longer I can wait

Dust 2 Dust
04:35
|
|

we stand on the top of this world
and we seem so alone
maybe it's time for me to turn away my head
before I throw another stone
when I open up my eyes
I see all of your lies
and we wonder why people die
sometimes young and sometimes tragically
all throughout our history
from dust to dust we will be
I lie at the bottom of this lake
and I'm feeling left behind
maybe I should be heading for the sun
but I got another axe to grind
and I don't care what they say
I know I'm on my way
we hang on the edges of this world
and we seem so afraid
maybe it's time for us to finally go home
that's the only move to make
and we all hear them cry
but never wonder why
|

confusion in my mind
frustrations I can't explain
is this our fate
emotions I can't hide
the man who we can't deny
is he afraid
someone tell me why all we have are cries
to bury the pain deep down inside
someone tell me why
where's your God now when you need him the most
the real disaster | I can't find my way home
where's your God now | now the story unfolds
and now it's too late
temptation I can't fight
religion has already died
show me the way
confessions | who am I
I love you | but too late to try
can I be saved

The Minstrel
04:51
|
|
||
|
seems rainy for this time of year
the price to pay when you're sincere
the minstrel left without a song
is bound to fade away before too long
he finds there's nothing left to say
he could not hurt her anyway
the poet left without a rhyme
is trapped beneath the lonely sea of time
if only you had told me what you thought about
we might have been able to work it out
her words will always linger on
the queen ignores the lonely pawn
he has no choice but to subside
and leave behind the remnant of his pride

Let U Down
04:32
|
|

|
I wasted my time thinking about you today
I spent a lifetime dreaming about you in a way
why can't we talk about it
makes me mad
well I just gotta say
in every corner lies an answer
close the door don't walk away
and I still surrender to you heart's desire
come around no I won't let you down
if it takes forever I will wait no matter
come around no I won't let you down
you used to smile and comfort me on raint days
but now I look into your eyes you turn away
why can't we talk it over
things unsaid
now no one is to blame
just shout it out and cry out loud
before it gets too late
|

everyone is bleeding and they're all afraid to say it
sometimes I think they're living in hell
can't they just be happy | pursue the things they love
there's nothing wrong with ringing the goddamn bell
life' too short to be afraid
life's too short to sit and wait
we don't get judged by how we die
but what we do while we're alive
everyone believed it but how could they be sure
they never saw it with their own eyes
taking such an interest in my personal affairs
one could think that they're living boring lives
