Welcome my friend to the second half of life
Mangled jaded by the past tis a glimpse of whats on this flight
Welcome to your paradise you've mistaken it for something nice
Creating what you once were comes with a price
You'll find your wings get heavy, by your fate
You'll lose your love and earn your hate
A thousand lies you wanna prove, but they're tainted by the truth
but you still keep a smile for the little ones
Welcome to the real world boy you really had no idea
Your cruelty and lies only satisfies your growing fear
Welcome to the place where you won't remember when you came
You lose all sense of morality, the fatality, is in your name
You'll find your wings get heavy, by your fate
You'll lose your love and earn your hate
A thousand lies you wanna prove, but they're tainted by the truth
but you still keep a smile for the little ones

Stranded
05:52
|

Seconds hours days all wasted
with petty selfish time
like I'm waiting in line
and never reached my
Destinations still unknown
while others already found
where they're going in life
tomorrow
Seems I took advantage of this game
that was given to me
when I was young
so young
Thought that I was gonna get far
by simply enjoying life
but i guess you gotta play
to win
--------------------------------------------
CHORUS
But hey,
Look at me now,
I'm stranded
with what could have been
Hey
don't make me feel bad
cause I don't want that pressure
riding on my shoulders.
---------------------------------------------------
Jealous of my friends achievements
I'm a lonely man if I could
say such things
as true
Held back by the repetition
pushed forth by intuition
I got lost in it all
now I'm confined by these walls
Silver spoons fed me as I'm growing up
all the smiles that they used to bring
now I dream of
such things
A wise man can't describe how bad
It feels to have everything
ripped out
from beneath you
------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
------------------------------------------------
I guess it's easy for some of us,
I guess I never tried to hard,
You can say I wasn't listening,
But guess whose listening now
It's me
Instrumental
------------------------------------------------
CHORUS
------------------------------------------------

Bird Song

Wouldn't it be grand to live like the birds?
All the beauty in life at the tip of my wings
The freedom to soar explore and enjoy all thats around me
All while not knowing what the hell surrounds me
A map, wouldn't need it
Logic, wouldn't need it
A god, don't need it
Cause all I see is heaven when I look into the sky,
So watch me fly, I'm just a bird in the sky
and nothing else matters
Free from all which complicates this life,
The absence of them, leaves a portal to happiness
I will just spread my wings and let the wind guide me
Flying carefree, thoughtless
A map, wouldn't need it
Logic, wouldn't need it
A god, don't need it
Cause all I see is heaven when I look into the sky,
So watch me fly, I'm just a bird in the sky
Cause all I see is heaven when I look into the sky,
So watch me fly, I'm just a bird in the sky

Purpose & Reason
03:28
|

|
Far from all the fireworks
Free from all the phonies
Purpose is all I need
Reason to live and believe
Your poisoned and I'm free
Why write a song
What keeps you from ending it all
Purpose is all I need
Reason to live and believe
Your poisoned and I'm free

I'll be home again
04:19

As I lie I wonder why
Do angels fly in the darkest sky
You show your face when those feelings call
But I always worry you wont come at all,
I wish you'd show up when its bright outside
take away these distractions let me life my life
Replace my thoughts with your shining grace
Remove me from the hell that's in my head
Save a place for when I'm home again
I'll be home again
When you're with me, I'm high, living seems nice,
those brief little moments are how I survive
You open my eyes so the world can see
Make an honest man out of me
Cause I lie every time a smile shows through,
It fools the whole world, but never you
Make the truth not hurt so bad and I'll tell the world,
Scream it from the mountaintops in my head
Just save a place for when I'm home again
I'll be home again
We used to find each other so easily
sweet beauty just a smile away
now I struggle to find you when I need it the most
but I savor every moment we share
I know that some day I'll be back with you
so save a place for when I'm home again
I'll be home again

Future of Bliss
04:06
|
|||
|
Your past is dark, your memories cold and now you turn away,
Your shadows been the lingerer that follows you and now you let it go
and the mares of the night still put up a fight, when you wanna get some sleep
you've seen the worst your feelings bursted, but now you found the one
Don't cry I will always be your baby
Don't cry I will always be your baby
Have you found the love that as a child you always dreamed of?
Have you breached the thoughts where you thought that it always seemed enough?
Have you broke the chain that was shackled to you years ago?
Have you kept to the promises that you made to yourself?
Don't cry I will always be your baby
Don't cry I will always be your baby
I don't wanna see another teardrop on that lovely face
I don't wanna see another heart beating in the wrong place
I don't wanna waste another day thinking about our past
I just wanna move forward toward bliss
Don't cry I will always be your baby
Don't cry I will always be your baby
