1. KILLING TIME

S'pose I saw it coming
But no one else could know
When it's over they will thank me
So glad to see me go
But I tried and tried and I tried
But I could not shake the feeling
That life holds more than just to struggle on
And suicide is not the way to happiness
But solitude is hell

In my hour of madness
God has heard my cry
I close my ears in silence
But still he speaks inside
Unrelenting pressure needs undeserving grace
And the fool blames God for his own mistakes

I tried and I tried and it's crazy
But still I find I'm killing time
As the killing time draws near

I'm on the verge of self destruction
But there's nowhere else to go
My life is in the balance
And the killing time is slow

But I tried and tried and I tried
But I could not shake the feeling
That life holds more than just to struggle on
And suicide is not the way to happiness
But solitude is hell

Screaming out to Jesus
He will hear my cry
I've nothing left to live for
But I don’t want to die

Emptiness constrains me from
The place where I belong
Where God gives hope
When all hope is gone

We've got to stop this killing time
Suicide is not the answer


2. BLEEDING ON THE INSIDE

She turned around and then she walked away
Reminiscing back to yesterday
All he wanted was to be her friend
All she wants is for his life to end

Now you're sorry that you made her cry
Letting all of your emotions fly
All you wanted was another chance
To prove to her that this is true romance

All she sees is what you've done
You're broken-hearted and she’s scattering the pieces
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put you together again

He pushed the pen into the paper
The silent agony that tears has found another place to hide
If there was someone to confide in
To stop the bleeding, bleeding from inside
Oh God take the pain away
All the things I ever did
And the stupid things I'd say
I didn't mean to hurt her
I didn't mean her harm in any way

All she sees is what you've done
You're broken-hearted and she's scattering the pieces
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put you together again

Like a landslide you hit the floor
Seeing all the wrong you've done before
In your sorrow you confess your heart
Christ has given you a brand new start

Now she sees what you've become
For all the pieces are
Coming back together
Nothing more to make up
Nothing more to say
You've learned to love
In a different way

(Instrumental)


4. SAME TOMORROW

You know so well
You're the hero and they're under your spell
Gonna party tonight
Gonna drown the light
Reaching over
Grab an escape before it's...
Time to remember
Forget life for awhile
Don't matter what's around me

Look at you now
Do you know what you're doing here
Does it matter where you're going
Who cares where you've been
All seems lost now
Not a friend to turn to anywhere
Just can't bear to be alone
Your so far away from home

As time goes by in disarray
That bottle that you're holding's...
Gonna blow you away
A cheap sensation in a life
Full of sorrow
When you bring it all together
You're just the same tomorrow

Have you wondered
How it is that you have come so far
When no one else want to know who you are

Do you realize
Tomorrow you will be just the same
And you have no one but your own self to blame
Will they understand?

As time goes by in disarray
That bottle that you’re holding's gonna blow you away
A cheap sensation in a life full of sorrow
When you bring it all together
You're just the same tomorrow


5. SOMEONE OUT THERE

What I want I just can't
Seem to find
Try so hard to reach a dream
Who cares about my life
No one hears my scream
Screaming for the sake of screaming
Many know my number
Many just don't care
And still the questions in my mind
Have I someone yet to find

Is there somebody out there
Anybody out there
Someone who will hear my cry
Dry away my sullen eyes
Is there somebody out there
Tell me who you are

Another friend of mine has
Snuffed their life
Don't they know the pain they leave
And they're suffering in hell
It ain't much better here
Crisis seems to follow crisis
There must be something better
Something I can't see

I've tried being happy
And I've tried being stoned
And I mix with the people
But I'm still alone

Is there somebody out there
Anybody out there
Someone who will hear my cry
Dry away my sullen eyes
Is there somebody out there
Tell me who you are

When I hear that sound I
Start to bleed
Wedding bells can pierce your soul
Another friend has left my life
A lover slips my hold
And still the questions on my mind
Have I someone yet to find

Is there somebody out there
Anybody out there
Someone who can hear my cry
Dry away my sullen eyes
Is there somebody out there
Tell me who you are
