1. THE ONLY WAY TO KILL A GHOST

Your murdering my God, in the midst of all this pain.
Driving stakes right through his wrists, but keep it to yourself and dont tell a soul.
Is it obvious to me? is this really what it means to live?
We'll bleed for grace.
Now your hands are full of blood. Drop the nails; now your hammers in the mud.
Remembering your words, forgiveness comes to me.
it's crawling deep inside, under my skin.
Now I know that my God means more to me. I'm in love.
Don't let go. Breaking the chains of torment and I need more.
It's better left unsaid; giving thanks to your creator for even one thing that he did for you.
He never let you down but you let him go, then you visit him on Sunday.
Is this really what you think it is to live?

Cold, wet, and soaking in misery I lie here killing who I need to be.
This empty hole will never cease to be the one thing keeping me from being free.
Don't go, leave me all alone at night. These pills are never going to make it right.
Tell me if there's any end in sight and then I'll crawl into my hole and die.
Never really feeling free so why should I pretend to be?
the needle goes into my skin, I push it deep inside of me.
Poison flowing through my viens, and then I start it all again.
Over and over and over again.

I want out. I want everything inside of me out, get it out.
Get me out. I'm scared and it hurts, and I never want to see it again.
Now I know that my God means more to me. I'm in love.
Don't let go.

2. FALLING FROM A STAR

We won't take the fall
in all the hatred of it all
United we will rise
with none left behind

falling faster...

My brother be in decay.
I will submit to you.

Thus far, we really haven't grown that far apart;
but it's still ripping out my heart.
And it feels like I'm falling from a star.
Joy seems so hard to get, I can't put my finger on it.
And it feels like I'm falling from a star.

Tonight I will lift up my brothers;
And give them all of the love that they deserve.
No blame in it. No shame in it.
Show them how much they mean to me.

I need you tonight,
I need you to kill all the pain that is living within
I can't be real but im sick of pretend,
without your love it would be harder to reach me
i let them circle around and defeat me
i never thought that my life would go on
but its on and on...


3. FROM A FALL

What is this feeling, fear or remorse? Or something beautiful that's gone off-course?
My hands are shaking and my legs have gone weak, the only hop inside me is the chance that I might sink.
If you can see me taking turns than your probably right.
I think Ill try to pretend but it wont be tonight.
Then I'll wake up tomorrow to find out that I have lost it all just when everything was going right.
Help me, heal me, love me. Introduce things of new. Never desert me.
I believe that you can make it right.

Turn it up, and take it away.
I know exactly where I stand.
I know we were meant to fall.
I hear you call and I'm coming.

From the start of all creation, losing sight of motivation.
The key to our salvation is the gift of our redemption.
The only way to survive is to give your life, and cry out.
To the one that you've forgotten, because he's loved you from the start of this.

I'm coming back from a fall, and nothing else can stand in my way.

And it starts now, can you feel it?
When you give your life to Jesus, and then everything is better.
Thank you god, it's so much better.
You laugh and cry and emotions will flow.
Your living your life and thats how it goes.
An anthem is sung for us, the redeemed.


A song for...We-the-fallen.


4. LEAvING THE PAIN BEHIND

Who said goodbye?
Running away, I couldn't hear the faintest whisper of a sweet "hello", let alone "goodbye".
I'm running away from all I know, saying goodbye to all that's go...
Don't rip my heart out and then put it back again.

I'm running away from all I know.
Is this because of my sin?
Saying goodbye to all that's go...
And when I go, I scream goodbye...
Don't rip my heart out and then put it back again.
I don't think I could take anymore this.
I'm running away from all I know.

Take my heart, take it quick.

Free my soul, make it sick.
Take my heart, take it quick.
Take the pain, go away.
Leaving my pain of yesterday.
New day comes, hate the sun.
Don't look your head if you know whats coming.
Lift your head, feast your eyes on what you love.
Leaving my pain behind is all that i know.
Leaving my pain behind.


5. MIDNIGHT SKY

I feel that this is all just too familiar.
I had a lot of plans in life and this had to interfere.
Maybe I'll be on my way day after day, after today.
And i hope this wont interfere with that.

Looking up at the midnight sky, I'm just pretending that I'm always alright.
But I'm trying so hard not to cry, and everything inside me wants to die.
I don't think I want to stay. This time tomorrow I would've been on my way.
Looking forward to a brighter day, now nothing can stand in my way.

I feel that this has only made me stronger.
You wanted me to show you and I'm giving you the proof.
Jesus will take me through day after day, like today.
And I know I will persevere tonight.

I'd go through the world just to be close to you.
And give up forever to spend time with you.
Your once in a lifetime, your always with me.
Reasons to love you are not left unseen.
We would be joyful and never be sad.
Life would go on and you'd be my dad.
We'd run through the valleys and never look back.
We could forget all of the things in my past.
I would grow older and closer to you. I promise that I will stay true to you.
If there's one thing in life that I wish I could be;
That one thing is you because of your love for me.


6. LET GO

All my alibis have turned around and told the truth.
Everything has gone face down.
Why cant I do the same, I've lied a million times.
And now I find a thousand things that I despise.
All I have is my cold blanket, and this sidewalk upon which I call my home.

Let go. Let go of me.
I see everything clearly.
I made myself this way and denied the truth again.
Wake up, smell the treason.
I see no real reason for my actions.
I denied the truth again.

All my alibis have turned around and waved goodbye.
Growing smaller in my mirror.
I see why everything has turned away from me;
and my lies galore and animosity.
Be free. Use my gift and I will set you free.

No one knows how it feels;
and nobody understands my point of view.
Sometimes you just cant take it;
Don't stop, keep trying. You'll make it.


7. TICK TOCK ROCK

(Instrumental)


8. WHERE DID THE MuSIC GO?

What's this, a circus or a fashion show?
I think all of you Freaks should let it go.
I just blinked and what do you know?
But where did the music go?
In your mind, stop giving up.
It's not gone, just hiding from punks that died so long ago.
Where did the music go?

Hey all you people in the crowd;
are you ready to scream your voices oh so loud?
Bring back the music that was lost.
Bringing forth to life the punks of the past.

Are you ready? Rise up.
If your not, Back up.

This music's deep inside me, but there's just something missing.
We put our hearts into it, but there's just no one listening.
And we'll do the only thing we know
I really dont know where it's leading, but I guess I'm going to have to walk alone.
I'm not quite sure where it's headed, but I guess the music had to go.


9. COPING

Saturday night, the best decision of my life.
He said, "you should try it and I think that you would like it."
You give your best and you never get it back;
But you keep on trying and eventually your satisfied.
No trust, eighteen years old, filled up with lust.
Never caring for anything more. But there's got to be more.
I'm begging for more, I'm begging you for more.

Life's a long road from where we are to where we think we should go.
But I know that if we don't give it up then we'll never walk alone.
This is the best thing that we have.
I've got this feeling and I'll never let it pass.

Years have gone by, and now that everything is different;
We've found the formula. And now that I feel confident,
We can take it one step further than the last one.
Bringing ourselves to where we never thought that we could go.
We've dreamed, we've wanted this for years;
So lift up your heads, and forget all of your fears.
Now is the time! The chance is on your doorstep.
We've got to get out, we've got to make it out.


10. WARRIOR

There's a battle thriving deeper inside than you could know.
It's eating souls and taking lives. In fact, wanting to grow.
Ramifications of my past drifting me out to sea.
Never seeing the love that's right in front of me.

I can't go on like this.
...not like this anymore...
I can't go.

Hither and yon. He's just a warrior fighting on.
Just a warrior fighting.


11. LIGHTS OuT

"Carry your own weight."..."Listen to yourself, now your talking non-sense."
they say, "carry your own baggage."
But when i think, i dream, i see all that there is to see in me.
When I think, I go myself's own way.
In times of despair, though my heart is fair, he will take me from this evil place.

Why carry these burdens on our backs;
when we can't take care of ourselves?
Why carry on?
We will never ever see the true complexcity of it all.

"Carry your own baggage around my town!"
then I say..."Lights out, carry me! Wont you accompany?"


12. SOMETHING FOR GOD

Can you tell me? I need to know, what am I doing?
I cant do it alone. Everything inside me screams.
And now I can see why this is pushing me more an more to the edge.
Can you show me the way to put my life in the direction that I really need to go?
I'm on my own.

Remembering a million things that he's done for my life and the faith that he's placed in me.
Impossible to replicate the love that he shows to his children to set us free.
Something for God. Something to show all of the people the reason were really here.
Something for God. Giving us power of faith and not a spirit of fear.

You want to close your eyes, and turn your face away.
You want to run but you can't hide the sin that scars your eyes.
Embrace your strength of heart, and rise above your pride.
Cut the strings that hold you down and open up your eyes.

This is for you.
Remembering the times that you've saved me.
A reminder that you'll always take me through.
This is for the life that you gave me.


13. CHANC

Are there second chances? I guess we'll never know.
Will you know what it feels like to have kids, or grow old?
Will you start a family where your at today?
Can you even hear me, now that you've passed away?
Will I ever see you at those pearly gates?
Will I see you standing there...right there will you wait?
I've never seen you angry, and I've seldom seen you sad.
Your heart, your mind, your discipline...
You remind me of my Dad.

I never got to know you.
I never got to show you the way I felt about your personality.
But I still hope that one day I can see you face to face;
And tell you what you've done for me, Blessed me with your grace.

We don't have many memories, but I guess that will have to do.
Nothing can compare to the joy I found in you.
The love that you have shown us we'll always keep in mind.
Your parents sure are proud of the legend left behind.

To all of our fights and quarrels, we need to make amends.
We all can make an effort to becoming best of friends.
When every presents opened and every songs been sung;
We all still need to pay respects to the athlete dying young.

I don't understand why you had to go
13 stickers on every window.
memories of You found in a number
one-three is all I see... one-three is all I see...
