1. TAKING MY CHANCES

You know me, I know you
You got a plan yea
What else is new?
You got your money
High intellect
But just remember
That you can't you respect

They say that I'm just
Another burnout
And I'm wasted time
Keep barking orders
Scream and shout
I'm gonna let you know

I'm taking my chances
I can't go no further down
I live in the mansion
Of the lost and found
I wanna feel alive
Why can't I... Just burn
This whole thing down
I'm taking my chances
All for I, all for I

I've been high, I've been low
Got every reason
To let you go
You got the streets
Ain't no body
Who can rescue me

They want my back
Against the wall
But I'm leaving dust
I don't believe in them at all

I'm taking my chances
I can't go no further down
I live in the mansion
Of the lost and found
I wanna feel alive
Why can't I... Just burn
This whole thing down
I'm taking my chances
All for I, all for I


2. RUNNING

Time - Time keeps a rollin'
Like a river of life
And now I stand
Stand in the middle
I see it all slipping by
Wait - Wait until tomorrow
For the meaning of life
Give me faith
Faith for the dying
Take me to the end of the line

And in the end
I guess I'm running yea
I'm running from myself
So I can feel alive
Yea in the end I guess
I'm running yea
I'm running down myself
Until I feel alive

Fly - Fly until the edge
To the edge of the sky
I tell you truth
Truth don't come easy
until we realize
Life - Life doesn't see me
Why don't you open up
Up your eyes
Time - Time keeps a rollin0
Like a river of life

And in the end
I guess I'm running yea
I'm running from myself
So I can feel alive
Yea in the end I guess
I'm running yea
I'm running down myself
Until I feel alive

And in the end
I guess I'm running yea
I'm running from myself
So I can feel alive
Yea in the end I guess
I'm running yea
I'm running down myself
Until I feel alive


3. SCARS

Sometimes I feel
Like a helpless child
Alone in the night
Sometimes I feel
So far from the light

I'm alone on an
Endless road
Looking for a sign
The crossroad
Stretches out ahead
But I don't know
Which way is mine

So I'm gonna run
From the world
'Cause I don't owe you
So don't be afraid
I won't get too close to you
I'm just a loner

Open your arms
I've been scarred
I hope you help me mend
Take me to heart
From the start
I'll follow to the end

The future is a mystery
Only you can try
But all I see is rain
Blacking out the sky

So I'm gonna follow my road
I've got nothing to lose
Yea my path is written intone
The stars will alight for me
I know that I'm getting closer

Open your arms
I've been scarred
I hope you help me mend
Take me to heart
From the start
I'll follow to the end

Why I wonder why
Time was on my side
My well is running dry

Open your arms
I've been scarred
I hope you help me mend
Take me to heart
From the start
I'll follow to the end
Yea I'm just a loner
I'm tired of hiding my scars
I hope you help me mend
Yea yea
Take me to heart
From the start
I will follow to the end
Yea yea yea yea


4. SOME PEOPLE

I remember when I met you
Something told me
I should be worried
I know I should have
Followed my instincts
Somehow I got stuck on the ride

I've got nowhere to hide
No matter how hard I try
I find myself slipping deep
Into the unknown
I try to take it in stride
But I'm just losing my drive
Why don't you start it again
Take it out of your hands

Some people take all my time
Some people I don't mind
Some people get so deep
Under my skin
Not you, but you know who

Well I saw the look in your eyes
Hungry for someone to toy with
Well you're feeding me
Nothing but lies
And you're leaving me
Tortured and blind

I've got nowhere to hide
No matter how hard I try
I find myself slipping
Deep into the unknown
I try to take it in stride
But I'm just losing my drive
So take it out of your hands
And start it again

Some people take all my time
Some people I don't mind
Some people get so deep
Under my skin
No not you
But you know who


5. GLORY ROAD

If I was crawling
Would you help me along?
This lonely highway
Goes on and on
If I was drowning
Would you throw me aline
Pull me to you
And be a friend of mine

I got here on my own
Nobody lent a hand
Why should I drag you
To the promised land
Everybody seems to
Want a piece of me

Because I found my dreams
On the glory road
But it's nothing like
You've been told
All that glitters
Surely it ain't gold
Glory road
Don't go on forever

If I had no money
Would you ease my pain
Take me by the hand
And lift me up again
If I was empty
Would you heal my soul
And stay here with me
'Til I'm tired and old

I feel you circle round me
Waiting for a sign
The air is thick
But I can see you just fine
Everybody seems to want
To ride for free

'Cause I found my dreams
On the glory road
But it's nothing like
You've been told
All that glitters
Surely it ain't gold
Glory road
Don't go on forever

Yea I found my dreams
On the glory road
But it's nothing like
You've been told
All that glitters
Surely it ain't gold
Glory road
Don't go on forever


6. SOLAR FIRE

Well I've been thinking a lot
'Bout the life that I got
And I'm grateful
And I am trying as hard
As I can to bring my rest
To the table
And I don't want no regrets
I'll be counting my debts
When I'm gone
And I'll be living my life
On the edge of a knife
In the sun

It's like I'm in a dream
Burning oil and gasoline
Nobody gonna mess with me

You know you're playing
With solar fire
When your star
Begins to shine
You know you're playing
With solar fire
Light up the night
With solar fire

Well they told men in school
Not to mess with the rules
And be careful
yea but you can't make advance
Without taking a chance
So here I go
Nobody stand in my way
I'm ready to play
My crew is pouring the gasoline
yea

You know you're playing
With solar fire
When your star
Begins to shine
You know you're playing
With solar fire
Light up the night

You know you're playing
With solar fire
When your star
Begins to shine
You know you're playing
With solar fire
Light up the night


7. YOU DON'T KNOW ME

On a path tab leads to sorrow
To a place i'm loathe to go
Can't turn and face tomorrow
Too many things
That I don't know

And when I think
I've found the answer
I fall again, where did you go?

Lay me down and close my eyes
Lead me to another world
They don't know

You don't know me
There's a man behind the mask
You don't know me
And all you had to do was ask

Is there a way to end
This journey
I just shut my mind away
I just need to ease my burden
There's a dent I need to pay

All the time I left go by
I reveal my truth in time
'Til it's over yea yea yea

You don't know me
There's a man behind the mask
You don't know me
And all you had to do was ask
I romanticize my past
But you don't know me
You don't know
'Til you've been there with me

8. I WANNA STAY

I wanna stay, I wanna lay
Resting in her arms, I do
And hide myself from
The harshness of the day
And all the pain I feel inside
Has swept away and died
If only for a while
It's good enough for me

Another life
Oh she made me crazy
Still on my mind
I wish she could
Have changed me
Another time, maybe I got lazy
She walked away
I wish she could have stayed
I wanna stay

Well life goes on
We must be strong
Sometimes I let it get me down
I just need her love
To help me on my way
Yea I shoulda known
That nothing lasts
Now she's living in my past
And now I'm moving on
To face another day

Another life
Oh she made me crazy
Still on my mind
I wish she could
Have changed me
Another time, maybe I got lazy
She walked away
And I wish she would
Have stayed, I wanna stay


9. 'TIL TOMORROW

And in my dreams I see
All that is meant to be
I can't wait until tomorrow
'Cause lurking down below
There is an undertow
Waiting to bring you sorrow

And in my mind I see
Someone who can't be free
Trapped inside your head in time
But you can't hold me down
I won't bow to your crown
I can't live in fear and anger

Oh I don't wanna fall
I'm up against the wall
I'm gonna make it 'til tomorrow
Oh I can hear the call
I'm giving it my all
I'm gonna make it
To a new tomorrow

The water's closing in
It's time to sink or swim
I turn my head and look
For land, but I am lost
Round and round I go
Caught in the undertow
I hold my hand out
And reach for you
But you are gone

I've given everything
There's nothing more to be
Noe expectation or desire
You're looking down on me
Something you'll never be
I'm flying higher

Oh I don't wanna fall
I'm up against the wall
I'm gonna make it 'til tomorrow
Oh I can hear the call
I'm giving it my all
I'm gonna make it
To a new tomorrow
