1. Darkness In My World
Don't forget me when I'm gone Please forgive me if I was wrong Don't forget me when I'm gone Find the strength to carry on
Woke up this morning
With an emptiness inside my heart
That never dies
No one seems to care at all 10,000 miles away, tears in my eyes
As i fall on the broken glass of my hopes and my dreams And the truth starts to unfurl There's a darkness in my world There's a darkness in my world
52 it sure came fast Decades seem to pass, i'm looking deep inside myself Wonder what my life is worth i question every move i make my mortal sins, and life itself
As i question the how's and why's Could we be near the end i'm praying for differal There's a darkness in my world
Don't forget me when I'm gone
2. On (My Way Home
It's 11 AM
Where the hell am l It's that time again
It seems I just close my eyes as i wipe off the sweat Of the last night's disguise
Osaka at noon i hear the lobby call The light burns my eyes as i start to crawl
The bus leaves here soon And I don't care at all
And as the years begin to show me My life and times a legacy The years out here are
Well it's just another endless drive There's something dying deep inside I never felt so tired and all alone (so tired and all alone)
It's just 10, 000 lonely miles Till I hold your hand and see you smile a month has passed and i'm a little stoned i'm on my way home
And as the years begin to show on me
My life and times, the man I see
The years out here are 33 and change
Well it's just another endless drive There's something dying deep inside i never felt so tired and all alone
It's just 10,000 lonely miles
Til i hold your hand and see you smile
A month has passed and i'm a little stoned
i'm on my way home
And as the years begin to show on me
My life and times, the man I see
The years out here are 33 and change
Well it's just another endless drive There's something dying deep inside i never felt so tired and all alone (so tired and all alone)
It's just 10 ,000 lonely miles
Til I hold your hand and see you smile
A month has passed and I'm a little
Stoned
I'm on my way home
3. Can't Look Back
I'M HOLDING ON
TO THE DREAMS I HAD WHEN I WAS YOUNG
GUESS I NEVER SAW THAT THINGS WERE
WRONG
The game has changed
And what once was fact aint
Where it's at
I never really felt like l belonged
I was thinking how it might have been if things had stayed the same nothing would have made me more confused than that and i gotta get back on my feet
I'm driving down a road
About to lose my mind
Gotta keep moving and
I can't look back
The past is the past and
The future is so unsure
Well there's a blue sky coming
Now we're feeling better
The dark skies are gone
But never say never
Whoah, whoah oh yeah
You know you can't look back
I turned and reached for things
I know i should not ever do Those painful choices turned my life into the laughing fool Gotta grab the chance i have to turn it all around so much to live for, nothing left to lose gotta get thru to myself
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus
4. Don't Say It's Over
As I lie here out of breath and the tears start to fall In my empty room
My heart just melts away Cause l got nothing left to hold Inside this lonely tomb
There's a hole in my heart as my life rips apart
Don't say it's over Over, cause it's not the end Don't tell me that it's over Over, all over, the end
Is it ever gonna change This emptiness inside The shadow follows me
Time is standing still This love has been denied
i've lost my sanity
As I scream out your name
I'm never gonna be the same
Don't say it's over Over, cause it's not the end Don't tell me that it's over Over, all over, the end
Don't say it's over Over, cause it's not the end Don't tell me that it's over Over, all over, the end
5. Flash In The Pan
We wait with baited breath and Oh my god her shit is so hot
With all the latest threads Don't care if you get it or not Oh no, yea
It's all about the look
And making sure you're
quaffing your quim
Just need to set the hook and wait
Till someone reels you in
It doesn't matter if it's Paris or Perez,
It's only Hilton we hear
And you don't care if you're
From Texas or Juarez
Or if you're straight or you're queer
You may be a headline on tmz Cause Harvey Levin's your man One things for sure You're a hunk of meat Your manager won't tell you
Your agent just sells you
Your publicist.......Hell?
You're just a flash in the pan
Don't have a record deal
Or any movie to push
You got a demo reel
You're good at flashing your bush
OH YEA
Just hoping that your 15 minutes Can generate a career If you're lucky you'll get 15 seconds Then get thrown out on your ear
Chorus
It doesn't matter if it's Paris or Perez,
It's only Hilton we hear
And you don't care if you're
From Texas or Juarez
Or if you're straight or you're queer
You may be a headline on tmz Cause Harvey Levin's your man One things for sure You're a hunk of meat Your manager won't tell you Your agent just sells you Your publicists... Hell?
You may be a star, the celeb de jour With your whole new legion of fans But you won't get far on this fantasy tour Cause your manager won't tell you, Your agent just sells you,
You're publicist......hell
You're just a flash in the pan
6. Watching The World
It's been many years so much has changed it's not the same i'm so full of pain Bout the things that I see But who can I blame
See the road that we're on that never changes People turn their heads and walk from the truth is there any hope at all
Sitting here watching the world falling apart Oh, what can we do Standing in the shadows of lies and deceivers When does it end
Promises made, by people we trust
Are all in vain
The things that we're told
The lives that are lost
it seems insane
And the news we get is serving their agenda And the talking heads just read another screen is their any hope at all
Sitting here watching the world falling apart Oh, what can we do Standing in the shadows of lies and deceivers When does it end
it's just a matter of time
There's nothing left for us to say
In a world so unkind
Reach out your hand Let's try a change of heart is there any hope at all
Chorus
7. You'll Remember
If you find it hard to tell Daylight from the dream It might just be another toxic symptom
It aint no magic spell Or cosmic laser beam It might just be a crucial lack of wisdom
You've been chasing
your fortune for years
Had an ace up your short sleeved shirt
Now you're surprised
That your cards disappeared
It's a drag but the truth hurts
The time rushes by like a leaf on the wind Cast with no path no direction and then Leaving no trace that it ever has been Death to the right and the wrong Don't know what you've got till it's gone But you'll remember
If you think there's something more than a shadow of a doubt You've just got one more thing to figure out
You've been chasing
Your fortune for years
Had an ace up your short sleeved shirt
Now you're surprised
That your cards disappeared
It's a drag but the truth hurts
8. Brody's
Tryin to reinvent myself in a fucked up world Watching CNN doing 12 once curls i said yeah
The antichrist is screaming from the wide screen he's living in a mansion near the Hollywood sign
Another right wing cat getting busted for blow He's cheating on his lady with Tiger Woods' ho i said yeah
He's lying to the people with a straight face Tripping up the truth every step he takes
Why it had to die
i can hear the roar and rage
On my facebook page
From my back booth at Brody's
A chick's walking by
She's had a nip and tuck
Got a tattoo on her ass that says
You wanna....
I said yeah
Trying to fight a war that we can't win Trying to pass the blame with a Glen Beck spin
What about the age
Of peace and love we tried
Text me with the reason why it had to die
I can hear the roar and rage
On my facebook page
From my back booth at Brody's
What about the age
Of peace and love we tried
Text me with the reason
