Lyrics

57

I’d like to say I knew
The better side of you
Before you turned, Before you walked away
But now I think I’ve found
our lies run deeper now

And I can see
All the walls, as they fall away
No where to hide
So instead you run away
(Hey!)

As others see through you
They’ll see my point of view
So they turn and so they run away
And with their trusting eyes
See through your weak disguise

So as you flee
You will leave a broken heart
Only to find
Another victim to out smart
maybe then you’ll see
that when the day is through
the only victim here
The only victim here is you.

American Eyes

In magazines you wont find truth
Just distortions of daily life
Plastic rendition Americanized
The destruction of personal pride

Perfection is not what you see
It’s what you’ve come to believe

Your television will cast no light
The tunnel vision ensues
Scripted moments of  “reality”
What ever happened to stepping outside

Perfection is not what you see
It’s what you’ve come to believe
subjective marks of society
Damaging all that could be

From each satellite
They broadcast to blur the line
perspective is what you make of it
so make it your own

Cash flow

My words could not express
Even with Intellect
The Gratitude I’ve kept
Within my heart behind my chest

Perhaps a simple thank you
But I know that just won’t do
And every time I think to
I know that I have nothing to prove

I can see the hands of time
as they slowly move
Onward at a steady pace
A gentle beat that grooves
Everything you’ve taught to me now
I’ve put it to good use
I hope to give it back somehow
And I know that you’ll approve

Oh and as I find my way
My gratitude is more than words can say
Oh oh as I find my way yeah ya
My gratitude is more than words can say

So now as I am growing up
Right before your eyes
You can see the bond and trust
Built through strength and compromise

And once again I thank you
For making me this perfect life
And once again I thank you
From the bottom of my heart tonight

Oh and as I find my way
My gratitude is more than words can say
Oh oh as I find my way yeah ya
My gratitude is more than words can say

Now as days go by
I cherish what I know
A life time of accomplishments
As I’m breaking through the mold
There’s nothing I can say
That captures how I feel
I hope someday you’ll understand
My love for you is real

Oh and as I find my way
My gratitude is more than words can say
Oh oh as I find my way yeah ya
My gratitude is more than words can say

One Mind

I never thought
I’d see the world
See it as I do
A globe that is shifting
It’s constantly drifting
To where remains unknown..Oh
unknown

How do you expect me to believe?
And how can you expect me to conceive..Oh

How do you expect me to believe?
In what I cant conceive
And how can you expect me to conceive
In what I cannot see..

I’ve read the books
I been preached to
I must say that I’m impressed
But why does believing
Involve such deceiving
And cultural unrest…Oh
unknown

Don’t try to tell me what is right
My beliefs are found on my own time..Oh..

Tiger

A troubled girl wants nothing more
Than to feel she holds her own
A palisade of obscurities
She claims her dizzy thrown
Every time she speaks you’ll see
Her exclaim in her defense
Her clever lies to guide your eyes
Away from her weakness

Despite the goals she’s set aside
She’s afraid to be alone
A whirl wind of calamity
As she spins with no control
When she comes to realize
The cost of her stubbornness
A shift of fate will change her life
making way for influence

no I can’t save you
I cant save you from yourself
no I can’t save you
save you from yourself

Independence is all she wants
But her struggle will blind her to
Everything that she’s hoping to gain
will never compare to what she will lose

Nova

As we rest under a bright lit sky
My aching heart unfolds it beats for you
as I try to hide
These sorrows for you
But tears fall like stars
I never got to say goodbye

As I gaze into the night
I hope to catch a glimpse a sign a chance
that you hear my cries
I’m calling to you
Calling into the night
But only my echoes reply

I will take each day and carry you
inside my heart...My heart
So I will never... Never have to say
Say goodbye to you

Every night I fall a sleep and dream
of moments we have lived and shared
in time I have come to see
In losing you, I have lost a part of me
as I hold onto memories

Your smile lights up my picture frame
In the same way that your warm embrace
swept my fears away
These remnants of you
A bitter sweet symphony
Lulling me back to sleep


Kobalt Blew

It took a while but now I see
Everything we’ve become and what we strive to be
And now I realize exactly where we stand
And yet I’m still confused on the other hand

I wish that I could see everything that’s in your way
Every time youre feeling blue or just having a bad day
But now it’s in your eyes and you don’t know what to say
Everything thing that’s in your heart that’s standing in our way
But that’s ok

It’s gonna take some time, with time will see
I just hope things work out between you and me
You’ve opened my eyes unlocked a door once closed
And now we’ve come apart leaving me exposed

I wish that I could see everything that’s in your way
Every time youre feeling blue or just having a bad day
But now it’s in your eyes and you don’t know what to say
Everything thing that’s in your heart that’s standing in our way
But that’s ok

Sometimes I wish you’d realize everything ok
And every time that I’m with you I wish that I could say
I just want to be with you every single day
And even if I’m not with you I guess then that’s ok
Ya that’s ok Cuz we’re ok

I wish I could find a way to get through all of this
Cuz every time I turn away it’s another thing I miss
Someday I’ll find the right one for me
And then we’ll be fine understanding this life can be Hard


Scooter

Once again you walk away
And once again I have nothing to say
But we both know that that’s far from true
Cuz every time I try to talk to you
My words are miles from what I’d like to say
I just hope that things don’t end this way
I know it’s childish but it’s how I am
My only hope is that you’ll understand

Perfect words come so easily
My perfect words never where they should be
These perfect words so distant yet true
But my perfect words they never make it to you

The words come easy when you are away
But when you are here they seem to be misplaced
I know I’m shy at times unconfident
But I know that time with you is time well spent
Every day I think of the things I could say
To help you see the light you bring to my day
I know it’s childish but it’s how I am
My only hope is that you’ll understand

Perfect words come so easily
My perfect words never where they should be
These perfect words so distant yet true
But my perfect words they never make it to you


10 Hit Combo

It’s to easy to turn away
Forget what we see
So simple to say
It won’t affect me anyway

Behind the walls
Of our sheltered lives
We’ve lost the fear
That others hold inside
Instead of reaching out
We choose to turn away
We just turn our heads
And then we walk away

It’s to easy to turn away
When we don’t have to see
The price that they pay
It won’t affect me anyway
(It’s too easy to turn away: extend)

Beyond the reach
Of their helpless cries
We choose to turn
Instead of wiping dry
Their tears of pain
That salts their eyes
We’d rather turn away
Because we just don’t have the time

Soon we’ll see
What we compromise
With our neglect
As the starving die
Another day
As we go through life
Is another day
That others hope they might
Get a second chance
To start again
With a helping hand
To a fallen friend
But instead we choose
To turn away
As we say to ourselves
Maybe some other day

It’s to easy to turn away
Forget what we see
So simple to say
It won’t affect me anywa
(It’s too easy to turn away: extend)


Fishin Trip

Sit back and think about the days that past
I never thought time could move so fast
A steady pace as life moves along
It’s here for a moment and then it’s gone
(ya life goes on)

I watch the day as it fades
Into the night again but that’s Ok
I’ve got my friends and the memories
The rest is blown away with a gentle breeze
(ya life goes on)

Burned in my mind
Each moment has found its place
Each moment has found its place
Burned in my mind you’ll find
Each moment has found its place
Each moment has found its place

I can’t explain the way I feel inside
And yet I know that I will be ok
A smile upon my face and now I feel alive
Now you’re gone and I can finally say

Now I am free from all that made me believe
My heart would never see the light day

I’ve found my way out
And I start a new day
I’ve found my way out
And now I can finally say
That I feel alive today

No need to explain the way I feel inside
Because now I know that I am ok
Forget the past a new day is on the rise
Now you’re gone and I can finally say
I’ve found my way out
And I start a new day
I’ve found my way out
And now I can finally say
That I feel alive today

No need to explain the way I feel inside
Because now I know that I am ok
Forget the past a new day is on the rise
Now you’re gone and I can finally say
That I feel alive today


Ghetto Fabulous

They have found a way
To control our lives
But now it’s time to say
That we won’t take their lies

Now it’s time to say goodbye
To everything they’ve sold
Departure from their so called life
To recreate your own

Recreate your mind
Recreate your life
Leave their past behind
Your future becomes yours tonight

So Raise your fist today
A promise in the night
Cuz now it’s time to say
It’s time to make things right
Recreate your mind
Recreate your life
Your mind 
Your life
Now it’s time to say goodbye
To everything they’ve sold
Departure from their so called life
To recreate your own

Recreate your mind
Recreate your life
Leave their past behind
Your future becomes yours tonight
