Lyrics

1. FEELS LIKE HOME

It's too late to talk to you
And it's too soon to say good-bye
Listen where ever you may be
You still live inside my mind

Something tells me that you are free again
In a place that feels like home

It's never easy to understand
Why memories hold our hand
But people let go


2. INTERNATIONAL YOU DAY

I'm sorry that it took so long to write this song
But I gave up
You see one million words can't describe how it feels
To know your love

Where did I go wrong?
I should have told you from the start
That I'm closer then you think
When we're apart
Nothing that i've tried
Is as simple as this line

[Chorus]
But without you
My life is incomplete
My days are absolutely gray
And so I'll try
Let your heart know for sure
That I have so much more to tell you
Every single day

I swear I'm giving up my inside to the one
That I adore
I know this world is big enough for you and I
But i'll give you more

I'm coming home today
To wipe the tear drop from your eyes
I'm totally enamored by your life
Nothing that I've done
Has ever been for one

[Chorus]

My life is incomplete
My rights are absolutely wrong
So wake me up
Before you leave today
Something I need to say
Cause they'll be nothing when you're gone


3. PRE-MEDICATED MURDER

More times than five
I've been right here by your side
Still wondering... Where did you go?
Walk down the hall in a mental menacle
Don't want to be 'round
When you take yourself out

But I have more vigor than this
Step to the plate to swing and miss
And it's a complicated life
When "how you live, is how you die"

Looks like your soul is connected to the wall
A photgraph stands by the bed
Of better times, when we crubled with our spine
But lived the next day...and put the Malice away

That's when I noticed the drip
Ignored the line that didn't skip
It seemed the blue suburban sky
Turned to gray, polluted night
No more sleepless nights just for me
But as for you, a memory...


4. DUMB REMINDERS

I heard the message
Then I rang it off the hook
I didn't get you till 1 am
Who was wrong and who was right
And this distance caused a fight
Now I'm ready to give in

Honestly
I'd give anything
To be with you
Right now

[Chorus]
This town is full of dumb reminders
Having a good time can't you tell
Hang up the phone and then I come back down
Miss you, I hope you're doing well

I'm used to waiting
What's a voice without a face
I think I'm dying without you here
So I drink myself to sleep
And then I hide beneath the sheet
And I try to disappear

I get up
Every single time
'Cause you keep me
Alive

This town is full of dumb reminders
How far ahead from you in miles
If I could get one time as take it down
Maybe then I could see you

[Chorus]


5. ANY NUMBER CAN PLAY

They will mislead you, plug in and bleed you
I swear I heard the DJ say
"Swallow temptation", believe the answer
Is in the order you obey

I know my purpose isn't on a poster sign
I'm still part of the game any number can play

Majority vote, identity? No!
Top forty reasons to spoon feed
Immunity lost, full price at your cost
Industry living by disease

Imagine, idolize and idealize
A dream a nighmare couldn't change
Any number can play

The sound remains unclear,
There's little left to hear except contradiction
Looks like somebody made our mind
When history repeats the hit that I've heard for my whole life

Bring back request to radio,
Your favorite song was written but you'll never know
A selection for us to see a blind conspiracy
Another version of the imitated tune
And not one soul was saved

Any number can play (x6)


6. FRIENDS OF THE ENEMY

Lost in confusion
Not knowing which way to return
To the person you know
This trepidation makes you
Take it out on someone else
You forever
Everybody wins
I don't think so

[Chorus]
What would the worst thing be if you
Took the wheel and you lost control
No one is safe inside your safety zone
Don't understand but I hear what you're saying
The repetition of a lonely life
Somebody tell me why the
Heart is waging war against the
Friends of the enemy of your mind

Not your opinion
Sounds like you learn it from a show
It appears you have lost
So sick of marching in your lonliness parade
Stay together underneath a giant tidal wave

[Chorus]

Your imatated
Ordinary life

Its when that you can't break free can you
Take a chance as you let it go
Happy without the words you'll never know
No way to lose when your mimicking you're paying
A no decision forbidden home
No one is safe inside your safety zone

Don't understand but i hear what you're saying
The repetition of a lonely life
No one is safe inside your safety zone
Don't understand but i hear what you're saying
The repetition of a lonely soul
No one is safe inside your zone...


7. ANGELA

I didn't mean to drag under
But I was thinking about you
And how your eyes swallowed me whole
I've tried my hardest to forget it
But a broken heart is murder for the soul

How does it feel to be
One of the beautiful people?
Everytime that I leave it's like goodbye... Forever

Angela don't hate me
No matter what they say
I'll always love you
Don't believe the authorities
Angela believe in me

Remember when we danced together
And I promised you the world?
Well, I'll have to take that back
Because my whole life has been capsized
In a minute all the colors turned to black

My heart was killing me
And no one could hear her scream at all
Let's runaway, if only for a day...I'm guilty

Angela, I'm sorry I've failed you again
And this time it's for good
Don't believe your family
I'm in hell, and you're leaving me

Angela I'm sorry
Angela believe in me.


8. LET ME DOWN

She's never alone,
Because she's scared of what she might say to herself
Always drinking in the backroom of the bar
Where everyone turns in a half-hearted grin
She won't be afraid,
As long as that prescription keeps going through
And all the happy pills make her look like cardboard
Cut out of someone, I use to learn from
But on the phone, she's telling everyone,
That there was a blue sky, she left behind
And there's a place that no one knows about,
Away from integrity she writes a book in her head that nobody will read

Whatever you say,
Please don't talk about the time when she was young
Apparently that was a different person and so long ago it's strange to me,
There's no history
But there's a past and she's telling everyone
It must be a garden, that wouldn't grow
With roots of shame, too sensitive to blame
To herself as we watch her drown,
I can't save the queen without a kingdom or a crown

Somewhere in this lonely game of sympathy
There is a selfish dream
That makes me sick
Standing on the high wire while you're on the ground
To you what is dangerous is safe and sound...
You let me down


9. THIS IS A REBEL SONG

I love you my hard englishman
Your rage is like a fist in my womb
Can't you forgive what you think I've done
And love me, I'm your woman

And I desire you my hard englishman
And there is no more natural thing
So why should I not get loving
Don't be cold englishman

[Chorus]
How come you never said you love me
In all the time you've known me
How come you never say you're sorry
I do...

Oh please talk to me englishman
What good will shutting me out get done
Meanwhile crazies are killing our sons
Now listen, englishman

I've honored you hard englishman
Now I am calling your heart to my own
Oh let glorious love be done
Be truthful englishman

[Chorus]

I do...


10. SOLITAIRE

I can pretend for you,
That I mean every word said it's true
That I'd probably rather be like a stranger in disguise
And act as if nothing ever...

Died or faded away, got lonelier with age
And time isn't on our side

I'm sorry to take the thoughts that keep you awake
And make it seem like they're overrated
You certainly talk about me more when I fall down
And when I get up, my time is never enough
Loved in front behind my back hated
I guess it has everything to do with luck

I can defend the truth
But I sound like white noise to my friends
As I raise my glass to you
In a stupor we speak words
That couldn't be more honest

Lies we lived before are fights without a war
I'm dead when it's in your head

I'm starting to think that all the buoys we sink
Are cutting our chances of being saved
I see that the end is all we have to let us know
I'd like to believe in something more than a dream
For when the will to be one has faded
I guess the truth will soon be deceived
My friend that isn't there,
My solitaire...


11. UNDEFEATED

I see you have lost the ambition to love
When did you get so hard and callous?
Things are good today
But I think I've had enough
Here comes the part where you turn off the switch

Everyone's dumb, taking the wind out of your sails
Victory claimed, this is your song
How will you sleep when you're alone, when they are gone?

Over and over just like a broken toy
Heard all exuses, what makes you do it?
You pedal back for miles, just to claim your prize
He is the exit, to your home built on lies

Nothing is true
How can you expect them to stay?
Undefeated, who did you burn?

Cannot be taught, everyone's hurt, nothing is learned (x2)


12. INSECURITY ALERT

Emergency dispatch, I think something's wrong
With words it's so hard to construe
The images follow a dream through a song
The nightmare has finally come true

Rhetorical speeches are made on the screen
To shut us up and rest assure
An obviously panicked media machine
Is testing the will of a country so unsure

Mission complete, we lost control
Suddenly frightened by it all
To put it simply we will never be the same
There is no redemption in this war
So please don't forget what this is for
Cause that's how our history is made

Security cop with their hands in the air
The lock on the gate was destroyed
Now everyone rises from the lassiez faire
We can empty the cup but we cannot fill the void

Without an enemy to kill
The blood of the innocent is spilled
To put it lightly we are not wanting to see
Prepare yourself for disaster now
So few are sane here anyhow
I realize that words don't justify the pain

Set up the guillotine
And televise the execution
We have to ask ourselves, can we feel safe?

You can't spell "believe" without "lie" (x8)


13. NAILED SHUT

I always thought I had a pitch-black mind
Surrounding voice change my view
I feel fine now, it is a shame how I found out:
When I was a kid I was full of hate
Couldn't save the teenager that never felt blame
Thought I blazed a path on a dead end street
Always incomplete

None of these are an excuse for the person
I've avoided
And all you fuckers in denial
Looks like you'll have to get there soon to wait awhile

Before you send me off in a nailed shut box (x2)

Stopped feeling insecure with what was said
Indifferent to the voice attatched to the head
"What we will become, is how we choose"
Fight like a dumb man when you make him think
You stay afloat for now, but surely you'll sink
With synthetic friends
Now I conclude, I won't confide in you

Hypocrite please, you know the truth
You're just to "happy" to decide it
Like a prediction in a nursery ryhme
To shut me up you'll have to wait a whole life time

Before you send me off in nailed shut box
Please let me know... (x2)
