You're Always There

I know that I can trust you
Not to be trusted
And when the chips are down
I know that I can count on you
I know I can count on you to count me out
I'm losing my sanity
There's nothing I can do
You're shielded in vanity
You're heartless through and through
I'm a wingless fly in your spiderweb
A broken toy that you just won't repair
And you're always there
I know just what you stand for
You can't stand to see me happy
So if that should ever happen
You leave it up to you
You leave it up to you to let me down
You're a sadistic fantasy
When you hurt me, it's such a tease
But when you turn your back to me
It brings me to my knees
Puckered up for you to bare it
Not an ounce of self-respect to spare
'Cause you're always there
You're always there
Yeah, you're always there
You're always there
Always
You're always there
You got me lined up in your crosshairs
I'm fair game in a game that isn't fair
And you're always there
You're always there
You're always there
You're always there
You're always there

Take a deep breath
Close the door and turn the key
In the distance
Something better waits for me
Got my freedom
And that's all I need right now
Won't let no one
Hold me up or hold me down
It seems the ties that bind
Are the same ties that gag
So I must break away
This life is such a drag
I'm so lonely
And so tired of this dead end town
Stupid people
Always trying to put me down
Going my way
Because it's the only way I know
And I'm going for broke
Because it's the only way to go
It seems the ties that bind
Are the same ties that gag
So I must break away
This life is such a drag
Don't wait around for me
Just wish me well, or just let me be
I don't need your pity
Please don't try to
Patronize me with advice
Just be gone now
Leave me to my own device
There is nothing
In this world that can make me stay
I'm so empty
But I'm happier this way
It seems the ties that gag
Are the same ties that bind
So I must break away
And leave it all behind
Leave it all behind

Beautiful

All my life
I've walked alone in darkness
With no one to worry about me
When I was gone
Wasted time
Hiding my face in my hands
I've struggled and I've suffered
For so long
Then I found you
And it all fell into place
Yes, it's true
Every time I see your face
I know that nothing's wrong
You keep me going strong
'Cause all I see is beautiful
Nothing else comes into my view
All I see is beautiful
'Cause all I see is you
And now I'm fine
You shine your light upon me
I know you're with me
Everywhere I go
Far behind
I've buried all my doubts and fears
I am grateful for you
More than you'll ever know
Some might say
That I'm wasting all my time
It's okay
If people think I've lost my mind
'Cause I don't need them now
You're what I'm all about
'Cause all I see is beautiful
Nothing else comes into my view
All I see is beautiful
'Cause all I see is you
And to the world, I'm blind
But that suits me just fine
Ahh
All I see is beautiful
Nothing else comes into my view (my view)
All I see is beautiful
'Cause all I see is
You

You never took the time
To notice how I feel
And I'll bet you never cared
About the way I feel
You wanna know everything about me
You think you know everything about me
You say you love everything about me
You wanna change everything about me, yeah
You really don't know me
So whatcha want from me?
You really don't know me
Or what that does to me
You never understood
The kind of man I am
You never could accept
Or take me as I am
You wanna know everything about me
You think you know everything about me
You say you love everything about me
You wanna change everything about me, yeah
You really don't know me
So whatcha want from me?
You really don't know me
Or what that does to me
You really don't know me
So whatcha want from me?
You really don't know me
Or what that does to me
You never took the time
To notice how I feel
And I'll bet you never cared
About the way I feel
You wanna know everything about me
You think you know everything about me
You say you love everything about me
You wanna change everything about me, yeah
You really don't know me
So whatcha want from me?
You really don't know me
Or what that does to me
You really don't know me
So whatcha want from me?
You really don't know me

Ice Woman
04:10
|

She keeps her emotions
Hermetically sealed
All her affections
Are fully concealed
What she is feeling
Cannot be revealed
She's cold, but it only
Adds to her appeal
Ice woman
Ice woman
I can't light a fire under you
Ice woman
Ice woman
You will only put it out
No one can get to her
But so many try
She's fully immune to
Their come-ons and lies
She knows what she's doing
No one can deny
She does it so no one
Will ever make her cry
Ice woman
Ice woman
I can't light a fire under you
Ice woman
Ice woman
You will only put it out
Ice woman
Ice woman
I can't show you that my love is true
Ice woman
Ice woman
You'd much rather live without
Love
And only love can change you
And stop the hurt inside
Only love can save you
Won't you let me try?
Won't you let me try?
Ice woman
Ice woman
I can't light a fire under you
Ice woman
Ice woman
You will only put it out
Ice woman
Ice woman
I can't show you that my love is true
Ice woman
Ice woman
You'd much rather live without
Love

Lost
04:41
|

I may never know where this is going
You never tell me what is going on inside
And I may never really know where you are taking me
So I guess I'll just sit back and enjoy the ride
You may never know how I feel when I'm with you
It's a feeling that's hard to leave behind
I just wish I knew if you could ever feel the same
And even if you don't, I guess I don't mind
'Cause when I look in your eyes, I see
The agony and the ecstasy
And it's become so clear to me
One without the other cannot be
And I know how this may sound
But if I'm lost, then I don't want to be found
When I'm with you, everything's just like a dream
Sometimes, I feel like I've been dreaming far too long
'Cause you never give me enough to show me that it's real
But it's just enough to keep me hanging on
'Cause when I look in your eyes, I see
The agony and the ecstasy
And it's become so clear to me
One without the other cannot be
And I know how this may sound
But if I'm lost, then I don't want to be found
I may never know where this is going
You never tell me what is going on inside
And I may never really know where you are taking me
So I guess I'll just sit back and enjoy the ride
'Cause when I look in your eyes, I see
The agony and the ecstasy
And it's become so clear to me
One without the other cannot be
And I know how this may sound
But if I'm lost, then I don't want to be found
If I'm lost, then I don't want to be found
If I'm lost, then I don't want to be
Found

Story Of My Life
03:50
|

Uncharmed life
Full of pain and strife
I know what it's like
But I don't understand at all
All the time
It's just the same old grind
I'm gonna lose my mind
Unsung hero
Or undone zero?
I've been both, and I know
They mean the same thing in the end
On and on
All these days are wrong
It's just the same old song
So must it always be this way?
Trying to make it through another day
Still trying to get to the top
But I'm so far down, and I can't see bottom
So must it all get washed away?
I don't know, but I hold on anyway
Still trying to make my way home
But the walls fall down
And tumble down on me
Me
Here's the latest news
I'm just so confused
And I have no use
For all these problems in my life
Every day
It's just another way
Of trying to feel okay
So must it always be this way?
Trying to make it through another day
Still trying to get to the top
But I'm so far down, and I can't see bottom
So must it all get washed away?
I don't know, but I hold on anyway
Still trying to make my way home
But the walls fall down
And tumble down on me
Me
No smiling sun
In my sky above
Just unrealized dreams
And unrequited love
Still I try in earnest
Still I try in vain
It never changes
And it never stays the same (stays the same)
Stays the same (stays the same)
Yeah
All the time
It's just the same old grind
I'm gonna lose my mind
So must it always be this way?
Trying to make it through another day
Still trying to get to the top
But I'm so far down, and I can't see bottom
So must it all get washed away?
I don't know, but I hold on anyway
Still trying to make my way home
But the walls fall down
And tumble down on me
Me

Edge Of Forever

Hush now, baby
Everything will be alright
Just let me hold you
And keep you safe with me tonight
With you, I know I'm right where I belong
I will carry you
And give you strength when you get weak
And when you're tired
I will protect you while you sleep
I used to think that all my hope was gone
It's you that gives me reason to hold on
What are we waiting for?
Baby, it's now or never
We're standing at the edge of forever
Don't be afraid
Just hold on tight
And I'll make everything alright
Nothing can stop us now
And all those needless things
That we left far behind
Are sacrifices made
To keep the dream alive
We've worked too hard to have it ripped away
We've come too far to let it slip away
What are we waiting for?
Baby, it's now or never
We're standing at the edge of forever
Don't be afraid
Just hold on tight
And I'll make everything alright
Nothing can stop us now
And forever will be ours
Eternity belongs to you and me
It's everything we hoped that it could be
Just take my hand and don't look back
Then, baby
Baby, we'll be free
You're everything
You're everything to me
We can't afford to wait another day
Let's take this chance and make our getaway
What are we waiting for?
Baby, it's now or never
We're standing at the edge of forever
Don't be afraid
Just hold on tight
And I'll make everything alright
Nothing can stop us now
Now, now
Nothing can stop us now

I've grown immune to caffeine
And I'm burned out on nicotine
Don't you know what I mean?
I've tried heroin and cocaine
But they don't seem to ease the pain
Sometimes, it feels this life is just all in vain
There's only one thing that can get me high
And you're the fix that I've been looking for
I'm a junkie
A love junkie
I'm addicted to the way you make me feel
It's so unreal
I crave for it
I'm a slave for it
I just can't imagine life without it
There's no doubt about it
You got me hooked on you
A beautiful addiction
I've got no inhibitions
You don't have to ask for my permission
You just kick off those sandals
You light up a few candles
Ooh, mama!
You're too hot to handle
You always give me more than I can stand
But you always leave me wanting more
I'm a junkie
A love junkie
I'm addicted to the way you make me feel
It's so unreal
I crave for it
I'm a slave for it
I just can't imagine life without it
There's no doubt about it
You got me hooked on you
And when I feel the walls are closing in
With you, I can kick down all the doors
I'm a junkie
A love junkie
I'm addicted to the way you make me feel
It's so unreal
I crave for it
I'm a slave for it
I just can't imagine life without it
There's no doubt about it
You got me hooked on you
I crave for it
I'm a slave for it
I just can't imagine life without it
There's no doubt about it
You got me hooked on you

Spineless
02:52
|

So you think you're king of the world?
Well, how come you cry like a five year old girl?
You like to think you're ruthless, I know
But you're too scared and too stupid to make it go
Half-baked and hard to swallow
Hopeless and hard to follow
The best laid plans of mice and men
But you can't see anything through to the end
Just because you're spineless
It makes it easier to crawl like a snake in the grass
Just because you're mindless
It makes it easier to shove your head right up your ass
You think you've got it all worked out
When the time is near, you're full of doubt
You think you've got a lot to prove
But you're too afraid to make a move, yeah
You can't talk the talk (you can't talk the talk)
Someone might break your teeth
You can't walk the walk (you can't walk the walk)
Someone might break your knees
Just because you're spineless
It makes it easier to crawl like a snake in the grass
Just because you're mindless
It makes it easier to shove your head right up your ass
You think you've got it all worked out
When the time is near, you're full of doubt
You think you've got a lot to prove
But you're too afraid to make a move
Make a move
Go, go, go

Go
06:35

I don't know why it's like this now
But I know what you came here for
You're not welcome here anymore
Yesterday, we were so close
A love that I thought was strong
Now I know that I was wrong
All this time, gone to waste
All these lines on my face
You bring out the worst in me
What you've done, it just ain't right
Somehow, I get the blame
Well, I ain't gonna play that game
It's much too late to talk this out
What's the use if you're not there?
It's not like you even care
Wasted days and sleepless nights
Thoughtless words and senseless fights
I've become someone that I no longer know
That's why I have to let you go
And there's no going back
I'll ride out this great big storm
And let my whole world fade to black
'Cause when it's over, I'll be free
And everything will be just like it used to be
Before there was you and me
Time will change the way I feel
And all the memories will fade
Like those promises we have made
I don't need you to hold me down
When you're gone, I"m gonna be just fine
Not regretting what I left behind
Once a lover and a friend
Just a stranger in the end
It makes me sad, but I won't let it show
Can't deny this love has died
And your heart is cold inside
You've become someone that I no longer know
That's why I have to let you go
And there's no going back
I'll ride out this great big storm
And let my whole world fade to black
'Cause when it's over, I'll be free
And everything will be just like it used to be
Before there was you and me
That's why I have to let you go
It cuts me like a knife
But I'll grab onto what is real
And I will hang on for dear life
I'm gonna make it, you will see
And everything will be just like it used to be
There's no more you and me

Justyn Thyme

Justyn Thyme was never late
For that very important date
"You're just in time", someone would shout
He'd say, "That's my name, don't wear it out"
Justyn had a claim to fame
He always lived up to his name
Justyn Thyme could take the heat
And never miss a beat
Justyn Thyme was always just in time
Justyn Thyme was always just in time
Father Thyme did not approve
Of Justyn's newest career move
But it so appealed to Justyn Thyme
To live a life of crime
Justyn excelled in the art
Of breaking heads and stealing hearts
But Justyn never played it safe
He just didn't have the time to waste
Oh, yeah
Justyn Thyme was always just in time
Justyn Thyme was always just in time
He was finally brought to rest
By sixteen bullets to the chest
Justyn Thyme was not late
For his funeral date
