Give Me a Sign

Give me sign
Show me its real
We both know
How we feel

Can you see the pain in my eyes
Its so wrong but feels so right
You're like a drug I can't have
You turn my dark to light

Give me sign
Show me its real
We both know
How we feel

Leave Me Alone

Go away
Leave me alone
Never come back
Leave me alone

Driving me crazy
One day at a time
You're just an emotion
Making me blind

Get out of my head
Let me go on with my life
Before she up and leaves me
My unforgiving wife

Release me from these chains
And let me be free
Even if I end up alone
Away from this disease 

Honesty can't happen now
Sickness inside this beating heart
Trust is completely gone
We have to be apart

The sun will be setting soon
Let me finally choose a path
To try and turn back now
And hope to avoid the wrath

Of ten thousand voices
Playing in my head
Laughing and loving
Dancing in with the dead

Go away
Leave me alone
Never come back 
Leave me alone

Enjoy the Silence

What to say when silence is best
So many things to get off my chest
Keeping it all inside works for now
Questions coming from all

So enjoy the silence 
It's not what I want to do
Healing it will be for you
I'll stay away and put on the smile
Everything's alright, I'll say for awhile

I'll bury the sadness deep inside
These crazy feelings I'll try to hide
I'm broken but my shoulders are broad
The only one I can talk to is God

So enjoy the silence 
It's not what I want to do
Healing it will be for you
I'll stay away and put on the smile
Everything's alright, I'll say for awhile

What I want to say is........
What I want to say is........
What I want to say is........
What I want to say is........

So enjoy the silence 
It's not what I want to do
Healing it will be for you
I'll stay away and put on the smile
Everything's alright, I'll say for awhile

You still take my breath away
But I know what I can't say 
Stay the course and fade away
And a breath will escape one day

Candy

Will someone please
Please God please
Get her out of my mind

So happy and my life’s complete
Everytime I get near you, you look so sweet
Gotta run away from you everytime
And I just can’t get you out my mind

Smile so bright you light up the room
Wanna taste those lips so soon
But it’s so wrong and it aint right
Holding back with all my might

On the other side of the coin
Found a girl and we got joined
A couple of kids and great big house
It’d be over if the words came out of my mouth

She loves me a lot and I gotta admit
I don’t think she’d ever get over it
This is starting to tear me up inside
But its better me than my bride

I guess we’ll never know and that’s alright
Just wanted you to know you brighten up my life
For now that will have to be enough
It’s really complicated, all this stuff

It’s not worth destroying everything I have
Awfully selfish, it’s kind of sad
Maybe in another life
You could have been my wife

So happy now and my life’s complete
Everytime I get near you, you look so sweet
Gotta run away and try to find
Some way to get you off my mind

Will someone please
Please God please
Get her out of my mind

Jealous-E

Get dressed up for friends but not for me
Is it something I did, the way I should be
Dancing alone on a saturday night
Is this how I'll spend the rest of my life??

Maybe I'm just being a child
Are you always going to be this wild
I guess what I'm trying to say
I just want to spend a day

Do you really love me anymore
It seems like I'm nothing but a bore
Too busy to just let me hold you
Are you???

Happily Ever After

Is there such thing as happily ever after?
What a mess I have created

Is this mess worth the price I'd pay
to find happily ever after

Already proved I ain't much of a father
Can I just walk away?

Can I live a life
with only seeing half of you play?

Only see you on the weekends
would you still love me the same?

So scared if these feelings
Might be nothing more than pain

Is there such thing as happily ever after?
What a mess I have created

Is this mess worth the price I'd pay
to find happily ever after

Sick of getting kicked in the teeth
even if its to put me my place

Some times I take out my pain
Can't stand to look at your face

All these years of biting my tongue
All these years of holding back

All this time spend wondering
Can I keep this train on the track

Is there such thing as happily ever after?
What a mess I have created

Is this mess worth the price I'd pay
to find happily ever after

Golden

I've seen so may things in these 30 something years
Lots of pain, lots of love, and lots of tears

But the first time that you stood before my face
Everything stopped, my heart started to race

I knew it was wrong but it felt so right
Tried to keep you out my dreams and out of my sight 

Do you even notice, Do you even see?
Are those beautiful brown eyes looking back at me?

What would people think if I threw it all away
Would I even care, if only for a day

That we would spend together so carelessly
Hand in hand anywhere so happy I would be

If only for an hour in this fantasy
The happiest and luckiest guy I would ever be

Sunshine

Do you see the way I look at you?
It might scare you as intense as it is

I want to stop thinking about you
I pray that I can

No drug in this world 
Can make you go away

I often wonder
Do you feel the same way?

Can this be real?
I hope not

Cause if so I'm in alot of trouble

Would all this happiness just bring me pain?

Am I ready to take the jump?
And throw it all away?

Just to be near you?
Just to hear you say?
That you feel the same way

Into Death

Demons all around
Pulling me down
Fight them off
Into death I drown

Gnashing and clawing
Laughing when I fail
Trying to get up
They pound the last nail

Demons all around
Pulling me down
Fight them off
Into death I drown

Seeing me stumble
They pounce on my back
I try so hard to ignore
But they pull me into the black

Demons all around
Pulling me down
Fight them off
Into death I drown

Let me be
Break me free
Let me be
Break me free

Demons all around
Pulling me down
Fight them off
Into death I drown

Into death
Into death
Into......

Release Me

Release me from this anger
Release me from this state
Release me from temptation
Release me from this hate

Something snaps in my so called mind
Frustration builds, tension mounts
Scream so much my veins collapse
Horrible thoughts, demons all about

Good but even more evil 
Pointing fingers, blaming others
I can't stop until someone gets hurt
It's my fault, hate smothers

Release me from this anger
Release me from this state
Release me from temptation
Release me from this hate

Cold blood running through my veins
Why won't it leave me alone, all this pain
Hot blood running through my veins
Why won't it leave me alone, all this pain

Snap
