One Corner 03:46
I'm sick of all this lying, no matter how I try, I'm always getting the blue. With all the time I wasted, I could fill one thousand spaces, nothing's more painful than truth. I tiptoe everywhere now, so terrified to get caught, more terrified to meet you. You may think my affliction is just some overreaction, I guess it’s because of you. I left my feelings in one corner, so when I turn around they leave me too. You left your troubles on my shoulders, and I find no way to give them back to you. My mama always told me “don’t play the puppet junky” but as dope you feel so good You became my addiction, turned my life into fiction, you’re something hard to let loose I left my feelings in one corner, so when I turn around they leave me too. You left your troubles on my shoulders, and I find no way to give them back to you.

Travelling north, got to sail away, I know it’s a shame, but we took different ways We shouldn’t have bonds with an old flame, I know it’s a shame, but we need different ways And it feels bitter and sad, but you know we must take different paths Travelling north, got to shake the pain, no time to complain, we both know it was insane It’s time to move on, not to run away, and after a while sure we’ll find new things to break And it feels bitter and sad, but you know we must take different paths Yes it feels bitter and sad, but you know we must take different paths

The Stranger 03:17
I am the stranger in the pouring rain waiting for someone else to show me the way Love is my danger and my own kind of pain Love is the shooting star that blows me away But I’m sick of crying now and I would say that I’m not the only one who’s going insane I am the stranger in the cold morning rain waiting for someone else someone to take me away Hate is my danger and my own kind of pain Hate is an open door that won’t give me a break

That Strong 03:09
I’ve seen in your face, in the morning light, there’s a couple of things between you and I In one way we should recognize there’s a couple of things between you and I Help me to be that strong, now I come home alone Help me to be that strong, when I come home alone So in your face, what a thing to find, language comes with no words, the world is left behind In one day I could live a whole life, if this wearable love fits your heart just right When I feel the fear my senses rise Never been that pure before I cried Help me to be that strong, now I come home alone Help me to be that strong, when I come home alone
5.
I don’t trust the world I’m watching, I don’t trust the words it talks I never knew the way to walk it, never knew the way to go Now when your screen dictates my choices, I hear it right but do it wrong So to speak I’m not that easy, so to speak I’m not that dumb I’m a beast in search of freedom and you’re the cage without a bird I was once so pleased to feed you, now I’ve woken to the show You… You’re the cage without a bird

Follow 02:39
So, I been always close to you, just like mom said I should do, I was told to follow you. And when good things seemed to change, I could always take your hand ‘till the ground just swallowed you The way you left me by the shore made me cry so loud for more, shivering and calling you Felt I was digging my own grave and I thought that was the end, I wanted to be swallowed too So, I been always close to you, looking for a piece of truth, I was glad to follow you And when I asked “where did he go?” mom said “God will let you know” still I’m here but there’s nothing new. I miss the words we used to share and the path we followed too, I still yearn to be with you

Breathe and overcome those creepy shadows, I’m coming home See, no one’s with me, I’m on my own, I’m coming home All the damage’s done, the pain is over, I’m coming home Please open your heart, I’m outside and starving, I’m at your door It took me such a long time to make my ego fade away It took me such a long time to set my feelings free, am I late my love? Oh no, it took me such a long time to understand that your hope’s over.
8.
I miss your warm side when the rain reminds that this game is over I miss todays and yesterdays In the cool of the day I’ll stay I miss myself calling your name I miss you when I can stay sober And by the way I’d like to say In the cool of the day I’ll stay I wonder if you’ll hear this song In his car, head on his shoulder I wonder if you’ll fly away to the cool of the day that day I’m speechless now I have to say I got to go I guess my dear If there is something left we’ll see But for the while we’ll stay in the cool of the day, of the day
9.
Fix it Up 02:32
I can’t fix it up, you broke the shell, I know you’re teasing somebody else I’m out of bounds and I’m about to tell, I’m waiting no more in this tedious cell I never meant it but it becomes a hell to know that someone’s got you under a spell So now I’m shattered but still I can tell, this time the guilt shouldn’t be on myself I wouldn’t break it up, would let the rain just wash away this overcoming pain But it’s not easy to give it a chance, give it a break or try to understand We’re running low my love, you know it right, we’d better face the truth and hold it tight Send me above, send me away Wanna be the one, wanna make your day
10.
The Thrills 03:38
Come on and tell me how it feels Is it something that gives you thrills? Is it hard to believe? Is it a pain from deep inside? Is it something that hurts your pride? Does it make you bleed? You know I been through this before and you know that I’ve closed my door I won’t let you in And now you think everything’s fine all the stones are so left behind but some still here yes I’m still here Now I feed my soul with your pain and I guess I should be ashamed don’t you believe? You know I been through this before and you know that I’ve closed my door I won’t let you in Wait just one minute more, I can’t believe you’ve gone so far Wait just one minute more, I do believe you now

You’re crossing roads with devotion, emotion ain’t enough You’re crossing roads in an ocean of uncovered faults You’re on your own, your redemption is calling from above You’re crossing roads with devotion, emotion ain’t enough
