Revolution 05:00
REVOLUTION Free your mind from electrical thoughts Learn to release what you have been taught Find me a reason, find me a reason To fight Self-absorbed, conceited and blonde Get on your knees, obey and succumb This is a reason, this is a reason To fight This should be a reason, a reason to fight! Save your soul Maybe I'm not able To belong This is not a fable Look for more Than some crumbs Right of your table Revolution come on Revolution, revolution, revolution tag along See the forest thru the trees Reminisce childhood memories This is a reason, this is a reason To fight Is there a cure for this disease Hurricane rises from a breeze This is a reason, this is a reason To fight This should be a reason, a reason to fight! Does it hurt? Does it sting? Does it burn from somewhere within?

Cellar Door 04:11
CELLAR DOOR Am I a victim of circumstance? Or can I lean on to you? Present the jury with your defense Guilty verdict by random chance Was I replaced with a perfect tense? Got my time wasted on you Let's keep those theories for rainy days She might be telling the truth So trap me, close the cellar door I think, I've been here before Dungeon walls they feel so cold Torture me with words of gold Was it sacrifice, lonely paradise A sullen box of tears Dirty alibis in a whiskey glass A lifetime worth of lies... How do you survive? I turn around and I fall asleep Cannot stay awake Why should I shed my skin for you? Nightmare's coming to play Thief and a liar, I'm finally sober Started this fire, I am the motor Flames rising higher, over my shoulder Burning desire, but I'm getting colder Emotions in motion

Castaway 04:14
CASTAWAY I am fire down below Away from shore we'll have to row Maelstrom of another yesterday Leaving me a castaway Keen on keeping promises Going down that road Treading the water and I'm alone Never really did our best I don't believe in second places In races in times like these Highways and bridges they come in the way Deserts and oceans they all fade away I wrote your name on the palm of my hand Just to wash it away, wash it away
4.
Be Somebody 04:02
BE SOMEBODY Human heart has hidden treasures In secret kept in silence sealed Those of us who won't be measured Secrets better not revealed In your dreams a fear of falling Shadows of uncertainty Can't you hear your soul is calling Defend your pride determinately Be somebody, not somebody else... Summer rain foretold soothsayer Evening wears a diamond cloak Tidal waves have heard your prayer Morning brings a massive stroke Be somebody, not somebody else...

Goliath 04:12
GOLIATH Let your guard down, lower your arsenal Let's go another round, let's burn it to the ground Watch it go up in flames if you're not satisfied Why do we even try, why'd you have to say goodbye Hey I'm talking to you, I know the pain you've been thru I love those things that you do Feel the weight of the world descending of your back Is there a wall around me, I just can't seem to find Reload your weapon I'm taking a dive You can call me Goliath Wearing David strive I'll climb the highest tree, swim in the darkest sea End this calamity, come to reality Watch it go up in flames if you're not satisfied Why do we even try, why'd you have to say goodbye Hey I'm reaching to you, I know the pain you've been thru I love the things that you do Feel the weight of the world descending of your back Is there a bridge behind me, I'll burn it to the ground Reload your weapon I'm taking a dive You can call me Goliath Wearing David strive

FOOL ON THE INSIDE Monday mornings and a bag of I.O.Us Monday mornings are the worst Heed the warning of your ego talking back Feed him lies, get back on track Stretch the pieces on the carpet, so it's wide for all to see Is the missing puzzle me? Underground, this city's on fire I'm a circus clown, fool on the inside Thundercloud, the rain is on fire I'm a circus clown, fool on the inside Pray and worship grass that grows beneath your feet Pissing in the wind I breathe Passively aggressive war of silent hearts Nothing's left of my ramparts Leave your halo on the doorstep, so I can make myself a noose I raise a flag, I call a truce Time seems like a distant friend, caught in a mirror Is the picture losing color or becoming much clearer To fall apart, I don't know where to start From here...

Make Believe 04:43
MAKE BELIEVE In between Moments you spend on the silver screen, time machine Sorcery Careless, relentless my majesty, killer queen Smile for me, loudly and sharply Oh can I be colonel of your dreams? You can see me floating from miles away, stars away Won't you come to me, don't let me down again Open up my eyes, now I realize You are all I need, and the heart believes I can taste the rain, wash the scars away So much more to be, my make believe Stay awhile, Without you my mind is a passer-by, a waste of time Rule my world, Put you up high on the pedestal, conventional Dance for me, softly and sickly Oh can I be captain of your seas?

November 04:09
NOVEMBER Empty streets before the fearsome tide Guess I'll wait for the love to arrive Sorry world, I'm checking out Gotta see what it's all about Gotta find my own way, place I belong I only have one door, to go through alone Underneath it all In the middle of November, we'll be playing in the street Can I be a fringe contender in this game of you and me? Can you see us past December when the winter shows her teeth Show you how I flay my skin beneath Angry reasons on your window reside If you wait enough that love will arrive Sorry world, I'm checking out Gotta see what it's all about Gotta find my own way, place I belong I only have one door, to go through alone Underneath it all Places I recall Trying to find my way back home So be as it may And I fall Beyond the open door I go through alone Underneath it all Will you show what you're made of inside?

Animal 05:55
ANIMAL Why am I the only one? Who can see thru this facade Viciously I raise the gun Silently I kill your God Chamber's cold, I'm like the Sun Bullet ride and spitting blood Chewing foil and pulling teeth Forgot to breathe... Mother, this fear just won't go away Father, animal inside of me Mother, my mind playing tricks on me Father, throw away the key Iron bars defy the sun Moon is casting shadows down Fly away on paper wings Don't you think that... As dark fades right before the dawn Love is a game and I'm merely a pawn As dark fades right before the dawn Love is a game and I'm merely a pawn

FORTRESS MADE OF ICE I'll pack my suitcase before I die Maybe something to read You always know what is good for me Recommending the sorcery Can I get you to change your mind? So I can finally breathe? These machines keep my lungs alive Turn them off when you start the fight Writings on the wall Soaked in sadness Silent on the floor Open up the Door into your mind It's a cold device Only I could try, to escape from Fortress you made of ice Pretty soon I'd be on my way Place of haven to reach Sanctuary I used to be Doesn't trust the society I need something to hold on to I need something to reach Gimme something to hold on to Gimme something to reach
