Текст песни:

Here i go
Put back on trial
A chance to fall in line
A chance to change my mind
All those times
The wasted rage
That i held inside
I want to use it now
If you push to hard
You might get what you′re after
Already pushed too far
Caught again
In the lines of pressure
I recognize the fear
The urge to disappear
Within i′ve died
Many times still living
I′m still standing here
Stand and face the crowd
I don′t know about forgiving
If forgive means forget
Why these cuts are bleeding
Do you care? aren′t you scared?
Can they take your mind away?

Текст песни:

Who raised the stakes
In the foolish game we play
A cathode ray
Who designed the circuitry
We washed away
A thousand ancient mysteries
And still confused inside
Not enough we want the world today
Rise up we won′t just go away
You made mistakes
We drink the aftertaste
Your path erased
A thousand ancient memories
We stand in line
Still waiting for a sign
We burn as one inside
Stand up and face
The children you disgraced
The mirror breaks
We defy the symmetry
We′re not the same
We have our own identity
We burn as one inside

Текст песни:

Is anyone out there at all
Does anybody hear my call
I′m on a channel all my own
Tuned in from the twilight zone

My space-age juliet
She′s the best invention yet
Whenever i see her again
All my lonely days will end

Now i search all over the universe

At the edge of the century
Countdown to infinity
Feels so lonely
Am i the only
One left on earth

Is anyone out there for real
Does anyone feel like i feel
Caught in a science fiction scene
That never made it to the screen

My space-age juliet
This stage is desolate
Before the first act was complete
The shooting starlet hit the street

Now i search all over the universe

Текст песни:

I like the way you define happiness
You can′t be satisfied unless you′re bleeding
I′m here to undermine your power trip
It seems like years
Since you′ve been thinking clearly
I am fearless
Now you′ve got no one to push around
You can never take me down again
You′re so content destroying everyone
It′s like there′s no one
Who will talk back to you
Stop sucking up all of the atmosphere
Don′t take a breath until you think this over
I want to redefine your happiness
I′ll take away the hate and spill it over
It′s time to wake up from your dream state
It is impossible for you to stop me

@ Shades Apart

Текст песни:

Striking out at everyone
Feels like no one′s listening
Suddenly it′s not the same
You′ve been sleeping all this time
Throw your fist into the air
For all the trouble you went through
Where are you know
Are you so cool you don′t care
For everything you tried to prove
The time is now
Seeing the world through colored glass
Picture postcards of your life
Welcome to the world outside
This is where your troubles lie
Staring straight into the sun
Burn the cobwebs from your eyes
You′re just up against yourself
There is nothing left to hide

Текст песни:

I saw her get off the bus- perfectly dangerous
Though i could tell- the trouble she′d spell- i fell for gabrielle

She said "i can′t stay long- there′s somewhere else i belong"
(but) i made her smile- with my so-called style- i knew she′d stay a while

Gabrielle is the next big thing
Gabrielle, you′ll have everything
Soon everyone will call out your name

Moving so fast we crashed/ hours and weeks flash past
Running around/ uptown and down/ feet barely touched the ground

We could break all the rules/ but love is a game we′d lose
Never confess/ pretend you care less/ no one′s to blame, i guess

Gabrielle is the next big thing
Gabrielle, you′ll have everything
Soon everyone will call out your name
Gabrielle, i can′t let you go
Gabrielle, in the end i know
I′ll be the one who calls out your name

(bridge)
Gabrielle never cries- but something was in her eyes- whispering words
Goodbye

Gabrielle shines on screen- and covers of magazines
On billboard-signs- nine stories high- once she was only mine

Gabrielle is the next big thing
Gabrielle, you′ll have everything
Soon everyone will call out your name
Gabrielle, i can′t let you go
Gabrielle, in the end i know
I′ll be the one who calls out your name

Текст песни:

Hanging out among the living dead
Things seem to come up
Short of everything
You ever wanted in your life
Meeting at the cemetery gates
Go through the motions
What′s the difference when
Your hiding everything you need
I remember times
When you were so scared of getting old
I remember lies
That you were so scared of being told
It′s not a question why
You just didn′t want to be alone
Times forgetting
Now you′re getting over it
It doesn′t really matter what was said
Down at the graveyard
Digging up the dirt
And scattering the bones around
Systematic breaking all the rules
You play the rebel
Turning over headstones
Just to keep from getting down
Don′t be frightened of the living dead
Backed in a corner
Now is the time to go outside
And find yourself some life
Something′s going on inside your head
Back in a corner
Lost along with so called friends
Don′t let the dreams all die

@ Shades Apart

Текст песни:

I was alone and frightened
Until you came along
I was afraid of everyone
You showed me i was wrong
You came into my life
And helped me take a stand
I feel so whole inside now
Come and take my hand
You belong to me
You can never leave
I′ll show you off to my friends
You see they′re so impressed
Together we must look so cool
I bet they never guessed
That i could be someone
And with you by my side
Anyone who disrespects
Has got no place to hide
Favorite toy
I am happy now
I know you′re happy, too
Every guy around my neighborhood
Wishes he had you
Nobody stare at me
Don′t they know who i am?
We′ll take that smile right off his face
We′ll take his life for fun

@ Shades Apart

Текст песни:

Go to sleep, turn out the light
In dreams we′ll meet tonight
Always you′re in my mind
You whisper and i smile
How can you remember so perfectly
When i forget myself
You say you′re still mine and i believe
I know you′d give up anything
If there was anything
We′re together in our dreams tonight
Just like always i′ll be at your side
Maybe someday we′ll go back in time
Make a promise now to think of me
I was lost without a trace
You found my hiding place
I′m crawling through a maze
Still falling through a haze
We race against the second hand
Against the falling sand
I would carry you back home with me
If i could just begin again
