1. BROKEN FACES

The wishful ness reflecting back,
But falling short of what she needs to feel
Pretty
When God’s accused of holding back,
But other girls received more than they
Need

Please think of me,
The little girl
In the faces of the moment,
We could be the same,
I see,
It isn’t always easy
The faces will forget your name


So why, should I dress up for their money
It’s so funny how they stare,
Tthrough me
They see the flesh
They think I’m impressed,
I’m not a corporate commodity


Listen to me,
The little girl,
In the faces of the moment,
We could be the same
I see, it isn’t always easy,
The faces will forget your name

Just like me,
They’ll tear you down,
And watch you burn

I cannot change the past
But the future has not been looking better,
Than me
Why should I face the knife will you love me twice if They’re bigger than they used,
To be,
If not the pigs
With their black AMEX’s
Will always think they’re better,
Are they better
When their daughters run away?

We could be the same,
Running,
Running,
From this sick beauty,
Running,
Running,
If anyone still cares,
Please save me again,
We could be the same,
I see,
It isn’t always easy,
The faces will forget your name

Not like me,
So tear them down,
And watch them burn


2. URBAN AMERICA

I’m waiting,
But I think I found the key,
If I turn that lock it might change everything
I’m hating
What I chose to never be,
But from the outside I don’t understand
Life is killing me

Sometimes I bleed,
It never hurt so bad to
Never be anything
And now I love,
How long till jealousy
Renders me
Obsolete

Sinking
Into a hole at 23,
I wanna crawl out but I can’t see anything
And she’s drinking
So the driving’s up to me,
And I’m speeding the wrong way down a one way street,
It could kill me…

Sometimes I leave,
But in the rear-view,
Life is looking good to me
And now I love,
The mediocrity of NYC,
Could be enough for me
I could give up again,
I’m sleeping
In a world that’s only razor thin

Urban America,
We’re living in multi-color,
New blood begins when skin is blending in
Segregation,
Soul deception,
Class division,
Deceit
Urban America,
They campaign claiming our power,
But still they’re scared to walk inside our streets,
No decisions,
Fixed elections,
Broken systems,
Incomplete

Urban America,
We’re living with a new terror,
Their price for peace exceeds insanity,
Death destruction,
Sex with virgins,
For religion,
The weak
Urban America,
We’re breeding the challenger,
New minds aware debate in Union Square,
Education,
New direction,
Superstitions,
Disappear

Bring it back…

It’s breaking,
Inside of me,
It never hurt so bad to never be anything
And now I love,
The mediocrity,
Of me
I could give up again,
I’m sleeping…
I’m sleeping


3. FORWARD

Close to me,
Instead of breathing,
I’m exhaling till I remember,
It surrendered
Still it’s gripping me,
Stolen lucidity,
Is calling out in my direction
But I lost it on the other side

These days are long indeed,
I can live forever
But the feeling slips away,
I can’t find enough time,
So give me a sign,
A way to help me remember,
And stay

Now I’ve been thinking
I’m in love with something else
Tired of believing
I belong inside this hell
I’ll break the sickness
And move forward till I’m well

So softly,
A fading whisper and
An aching head tell me it’s morning,
And she’s calling
In a brief relief,
Till I begin to think,
I’m powerless to ignore it,
Cause yesterday remains the same

It’s been a long year,
In times like this I think,
That I could surrender
Will the feeling ever change
I can’t fight enough,
I,
Can’t keep it inside,
The voices growing stronger,
It’s over

Now I’ve been thinking
I’m in love with something else
Tired of believing
I belong inside this hell
I’ll break the sickness
And move forward till I’m well

The waiting line,
Is too long and too hard and too far to believe,
That I’ll make it in time
Everything’s slowing down and it’s harder to breathe,
I can’t make up my mind
Should I face the attack with my heart on my sleeve,
Or hit rewind
Play the video back to regret what I did…
I did

Now I’ve been thinking
I’m in love with something else
Tired of believing
I belong inside this hell
I’ll break the sickness
And move forward till I’m well


4. DIE FOR ME

I’m on my way,
I see a million faces
But how do I know that
I’m one of them
Inside my head,
The people always screaming,
Believe in me

Am I too late,
I wanted it all before the lightning
Blinded me
It happened when I’m right,
In love again,
Is it too much to ask the world to
Die for me tonight

I’m on my own,
I keep a thousand memories,
To light my way so I can get back home
It’s so dark in here,
I feel a billion live
In misery

Now I feel sick,
No I wasn’t enough to change the world,
The lightning did
I’ve given all I got,
To love again,
Is it too much to ask the world to,
Die for me…

So I can stay alive,
Even when
You wanted me to leave
This time I don’t feel so incomplete,
Now I see,
I’ve given up…

Everything,
You’d ever want, everything,
You’d ever need,
You’d never think
It’s not enough to change the world if,
I give in to life…

You saved the day,
You’ve been a better friend…
To me

Should I let go? (x3)


5. A SIMPLE EXPLOSION

Bring all your tortured souls,
Don’t forget the ones that never were released
I can’t pray if I’m ignored,
I can’t fall asleep
When they’re watching me
And praying for me to see,
That I’m so lost,
Will I break free
Instead of running around the pole again,
In this circle of fear

When the directions don’t lead anywhere near,
Sometimes it makes the world see miracles
Still I swear that I,
forgot the path to lead me back home,
Sometimes it makes the world see miracles
In me…
In you

Now the night is getting cold,
The sky begins whispering, reminding me
Of a life lived long ago,
Now left for dead
Now left asleep,
A temporary restraint won’t let me see,
Where my kingdom’s revealed

And all you is just the choice to see it,
Sometimes it makes the world see miracles
Still I pass the time,
And try to see the ones who love me,
Sometimes it makes the world see miracles

I’ll provide the knife,
You plant the seed,
And let it grow until the face resembles me
And that heart begins to breathe,
The vision is darkening,
While I’m living blindly
One step and I’ll be free,
One breathe to ride the wind

I’m just a simple equation, of an explosion...
inside me

...Bring all your tortured souls
