Fallen Angel
Quietly, she sits alone in an empty home
But the home she knows doesn't know her anymore
Unkindly, now she erupts out of her disgust
But the only thing disgusting is her own soul
-And now she's too far gone
She cannot be saved
Just like a fallen angel- (chorus1)
Desperately, she tries to make her way through this life
But life doesn't want her to find a way inside
Frantically, she searches for a reason to try
But all she can find is more pain for all her crimes
-Oh, now she's too far gone
She'll never be saved ...
But the home she knows doesn't know her anymore
Unkindly, now she erupts out of her disgust
But the only thing disgusting is her own soul
-And now she's too far gone
She cannot be saved
Just like a fallen angel- (chorus1)
Desperately, she tries to make her way through this life
But life doesn't want her to find a way inside
Frantically, she searches for a reason to try
But all she can find is more pain for all her crimes
-Oh, now she's too far gone
She'll never be saved ...

Without You Here
Alone with my thoughts
But only for a moment
Can’t get back what’s lost
But I still cannot forget
The lessons that you taught
When we fail we mustn’t fret
- So I keep trying and fighting
but it’s been harder without you here
I’m not lying or denying
That it’s been darker without you here
So I keep praying and waiting
That it’ll get better without you here – (chorus)
Broken in my mind
But I have to remain strong
Family by my side
Letting go to say so long
The sun will someday shine
And your soul,...
But only for a moment
Can’t get back what’s lost
But I still cannot forget
The lessons that you taught
When we fail we mustn’t fret
- So I keep trying and fighting
but it’s been harder without you here
I’m not lying or denying
That it’s been darker without you here
So I keep praying and waiting
That it’ll get better without you here – (chorus)
Broken in my mind
But I have to remain strong
Family by my side
Letting go to say so long
The sun will someday shine
And your soul,...

Endless
-Hard times and dark days
There ain't no stopping the rain
Bad crimes, twisted ways
Nothing can numb all the pain
Drift off to daydreams
Wish I could burn through this page
Life's not what it seems
This endless frantic rat race- (chorus)
I try to climb out of this hole
But every time, I lose control
And find my way at the bottom
Of it all again
Will it ever get better?
Will it ever get better ?
Will it ever get better ?
Right now
It just has to get better
It just has to get better
It just...
There ain't no stopping the rain
Bad crimes, twisted ways
Nothing can numb all the pain
Drift off to daydreams
Wish I could burn through this page
Life's not what it seems
This endless frantic rat race- (chorus)
I try to climb out of this hole
But every time, I lose control
And find my way at the bottom
Of it all again
Will it ever get better?
Will it ever get better ?
Will it ever get better ?
Right now
It just has to get better
It just has to get better
It just...

Give
Are my eyes shut?
Cause I haven’t seen your face
in awhile, but
I’ve gotten used to this plague
Do I look sick?
Because I always feel it
my life’s led with
the decisions I have made
-And I feel like
I’ve given it all away
and it feels like
I have given you away- (Chorus)
I want you to
know that I have given
everything to you
but you threw it all away
-And I feel like
I’ve given it all away
and it feels like
I have given you away
Chorus-(2x)
And now I’m...
Cause I haven’t seen your face
in awhile, but
I’ve gotten used to this plague
Do I look sick?
Because I always feel it
my life’s led with
the decisions I have made
-And I feel like
I’ve given it all away
and it feels like
I have given you away- (Chorus)
I want you to
know that I have given
everything to you
but you threw it all away
-And I feel like
I’ve given it all away
and it feels like
I have given you away
Chorus-(2x)
And now I’m...

Cycle
She’ll take you for a ride
and when she’s done with you
she’ll rip out all your pride
make you wish you weren’t alive
make you listen to the lies
and then you’ll realize
it’s just a waste of life
-Will you make it to the end
or will you start over again?
Will you be able to mend
or repeat this cycle again?- (Chorus)
Does she leave you breathless
do you feel defenseless
every time you distress
over what is regressed
does she make you suffer
by pulling you down further
does she make...
and when she’s done with you
she’ll rip out all your pride
make you wish you weren’t alive
make you listen to the lies
and then you’ll realize
it’s just a waste of life
-Will you make it to the end
or will you start over again?
Will you be able to mend
or repeat this cycle again?- (Chorus)
Does she leave you breathless
do you feel defenseless

Toxic
She starts her day out just the same as any other
She hasn't heard a single word from her brother
In ages
She'd like to think her life won't sink to the bottom
She tells herself she needs no help with her problems
Outrageous
-She takes the pain and shoves it down
She swears that she won't let it out
Now all alone she starts to drown
In her own spiritual drought
And everyone around
Can see she's lost her crown
As she helplessly falls to the ground
She's become toxic now- (chorus)
She pops her pills now just to...
She hasn't heard a single word from her brother
In ages
She'd like to think her life won't sink to the bottom
She tells herself she needs no help with her problems
Outrageous
-She takes the pain and shoves it down

Now all alone she starts to drown

She's become toxic now- (chorus)
She pops her pills now just to...

Call it destiny, call it fate somehow
But I finally know my purpose now
Is it my calling? No way of knowing
Test faith by falling, scars are still showing
You'll never know until you try
You have to try before you die
Everyone gets a chance to shine
For a small moment in life
Some are left waiting a lifetime
I was only thirty nine
I'm two decades in, but nowhere near out
My back to the wind, and I'm thinking how
This is my calling, finally showing
Not scared of falling, I just keep growing
You'll...

Wake Up
Put on your mask and fool the world
Step into a lie
Keep pretending, let down your guard
Everything’s alright
So good at doing what you’re told
Stripped of all your rights
Start believing and break the mold
The truth is in sight
- Wake up, wake up, wake up
Can’t you see what’s going on here
Wake up, wake up, wake up
They want to control you with fear – (chorus)
So shut your mouth and get in line
Innocence is blind
...

Better this way
The love we once had has been killed and left to rot in the ground
It doesn't hurt anymore when I see you are not around
It's easier to keep the pain inside than to Let it out
You blame me, but you should take a look in the mirror now
Maybe it's better this way
Maybe it's how things were supposed to turn out
Maybe I should
Drive the nail in the coffin
Pull the pin on the grenade
Maybe I should
Stand back while you keep falling
Become the monster you hate
...

Dear Chester
Dear Chester,
The first time I heard you left
It put a huge void in my soul
Knowing I'd never hear your words again
Made me break down and lose control
And although you didn't know me
You inspired and you showed me
The side of you that's a part of me
The pain I felt in your melody
But your memory will never fade
You'll be remembered just the same
Hmm, and no one else can take your place
And you should know this world won't be the same ...
The first time I heard you left
It put a huge void in my soul
Knowing I'd never hear your words again
Made me break down and lose control
And although you didn't know me
You inspired and you showed me
The side of you that's a part of me
The pain I felt in your melody
But your memory will never fade
You'll be remembered just the same
Hmm, and no one else can take your place
And you should know this world won't be the same ...

Make it Hurt
No more empty stares
No fortune and fame
No more hollow prayers
Done playing this game
Take away the tears
Take away the shame
Take back all these years
Take back all the blame
If you could
Make me feel something
If you would
Let me feel nothing
Just do what you're gonna do
But whatever you do
Could you make it hurt
Take away the tears
Take away the shame
Take back all...
No fortune and fame
No more hollow prayers
Done playing this game
Take away the tears
Take away the shame
Take back all these years
Take back all the blame
If you could
Make me feel something
If you would
Let me feel nothing
Just do what you're gonna do
But whatever you do
Could you make it hurt
Take away the tears
Take away the shame
Take back all...

Lost in You
Whenever I come home from a long day at work
All that I want to do
Is to get lost in you
As my head is filled with your sweet laughter
All that I want to do
Is to dream about you
Yeah,
-Cause you’re the only one
that can light up my world
You’re the only one
that can lift up my soul
You’re the only one
that can make me feel whole
Cause you are the one I love- (Chorus)
When it gets hard to see what matters most
All that I want to do
Is to be close to you
When you lose your way down the...
All that I want to do

You’re the only one

You’re the only one

Cause you are the one I love- (Chorus)
