Chapter One
09:23
|
|||
See the man spinning round
No rhyme or reason
You and I we set our destiny
Making decisions on emotion
Save the day raise a toast
See the hands as they tremble
Right or wrong I fail to see
It's right before your eyes
They said to keep an open mind
And you will see the guiding light
Black or white or somewhere in between
This is the place where you can find me
Close my eyes I'm listening
To the voices in my head
Cold as ice running through my veins
I keep on running but I'm losing
Near and far along the open road
Wonder if I'll ever see the light of day
They said to keep an open mind
And you will see the guiding light
So turn the page to chapter one
The man who speaks, my fathers son
Forever is the mountain we must climb
I could never be lost with someone like you
Cause you're the only one
I could never be lost with the one that is you
Time, time after time the deals we make affect our bottom line
Day, day after day behind the door and through the maze
You could be rich you could be poor
To feed the beast you always take some more
I'm just like you Are you just like me?
Are we criminals?
I work all day And at night I play
Is this criminal?
Weak, I'm so weak going round and round I'm the enemy
Year, year after year what's in my head instills more fear
Someday, we have to choose we have no choice
We've so much to loose

Man With A Gun
08:02
|
|||
We have just begun (I don't wanna go)
Man with a gun (You can't make me go)
We have just begun (I don't wanna go)
Man with a gun
Under the light in the dark of night
With a gun at my head he caught me choppin' cocaine
All I wanna do, is get away, I wanna get high, I wanna fly
I live by the night and hide from the day
Most of us think we're invincible from the man with a gun
They took me away, my mind in disarray
They made a fool out of me, they won't set me free
How could this happen to me, they won't let me be,
It's been so many years in misery,
I'm bound through the night and into the day
Some of us think we're invisible
The lights are so blinding I'm losing with nowhere to run
My life's put on hold and it seems I'm the only one
You've got it all wrong can't you see I'm the fortunate son
No one is listening no one seems to care but the man
Man with a gun, a gun, a gun, a gun
I was thrown into the population with a room full of freaks
I never thought I'd wear a two dollar suit before authority
Before you pass your judgement I got something to say
I didn't matter too much to them
You've got it all wrong you must have me confused with someone else
It's not where I belong I can't believe you put me in this cell
The newspaper said the curtain drops on a celebrity
You've got it all wrong the one that brought this all on me is
the man with a gun, man with a gun, man with a gun

Shadow Over Me
06:38
|
|||
One by one, in and out
Everybody's stranger building up with anger
Show no fear, quick to criticize
No one here to guide you no one to confide to
Weak and weary all alone
Too many people trying to make it on their own
I'm only human, not made of stone
Like so many others that make it on their own
There's a shadow hanging over me
There's a shadow turning on the heat
Show no mercy, show no mercy on me
Sticky situation, it won't be free
I'm your prisoner under lock and key
Doomed situation, lost in confusion
Weak and weary all alone
Too many people trying to make it on their own
I'm only human, not made of stone
Like so many others that make it on their own
There's a shadow hanging over me
There's a shadow turning on the heat
Over and over, Repeat offender
Complete addiction, I will surrender
I never wanted this, someone to take control
To live in savage bliss, somebody save my soul
I think I need a smoke, I'm feeling terrified
I think I'm going to choke, I need someplace to hide
There's a shadow hanging over me
There's a shadow turning on the heat
There's a shadow hanging over me
There's a shadow turning on the heat
There's a shadow hanging over me
There's a shadow turning on the heat
One by one, in and out, turning on the heat
To take me away, to take me away

Manny's Gone Home
05:02
|

Manny comes home
He pulls the shades down and sits in a corner
A sign on the wall, today is the day
He goes without looking back
He goes without looking back
See the fire in his eyes, they'll soon realize
There's a war going round in his head
How'd your day go in school, did you put on a show
They missed all the warnings
He's made up his mind, today is the day
He goes without looking back
He goes without looking back
Be silent be still, he's in for the kill
Should have listened to what Manny said
There comes a time when we have to face our own demons
A full one on one with the head
A wish upon a star, do we know who we are
We fail to remember the dead
With no one to blame, He must be insane
Should've listened to what Manny said
You better leave him alone Put some fuel on the fire
You'd better turn, you better run, If nothing is what you desire
You better learn to walk away, Ooh it's just a matter of time
Cause there will be a better day, some you'll win some you'll choose
The doctors, the lawyers, the fables been told
Couldn't make the promise today
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Couldn't put Manny away
There comes a time when we have to face our own demons
A full one on one with the head
A wish upon a star, do we know who we are?
Do we fail to remember the dead
Manny's gone home, Manny's gone home
Manny's gone home, Manny's gone home

Long Way Down
05:13
|
|||
Did you ever do something you thought you'd never do?
Saw someone else making the rounds you wanted to do it too
Long way down to the water
With my arms stretched out I thought I could fly
Wasn't quite sure what I'd hoped for
The burning in my body I thought I would die
I've drowned myself in sorrow
I've drowned myself in pain
No one dared to save me
The fear in their eyes as they ran to the lower ground
Long way down to the water
With my arms stretched out I thought I could fly
Wasn't quite sure what I'd hoped for
The burning in my body, thought I would die
So many times I've wandered
As I'm living the life of pleasure
I'm hoping they'd all forget about me
Yet the time would surely come
There's a man over there, with a gun
Well I've drowned myself in sorrow
And I've drowned myself in pain
I tell myself to wait until tomorrow
Everyday is just the same
No one dared to save me
With fear in their eyes they ran to the lower ground
Merciful honor don't you know who I am
Thats when he put the hammer down
I looked to the skies I feel the presence of a stranger
All I believe is my lies
Long way down to the water
With my arms stretched out I thought I could fly
Long way down to the water
The burning in my body, thought I would die
Long way down to the water
With my arms stretched out I thought I could fly
Long way down to the water
The burning in my body, thought I would die

Faith Without Works
09:32
|
|||
Every day every breath I take
Saints and sinners throughout this land
What we see is all an illusion
Words that are written hard to understand
As I take this journey looking back
If I change my world I wouldn't be
Who I am who I'll be tomorrow
Faith without works is dead, Faith without works is dead
Destitute I say to my brother
I hope you feel better that's all you need
If I'm for real a work in salvation
I'd give my house my home my key
As I take this journey looking back
If I change my world I wouldn't be
Who I am who I'll be no sorrow
Faith without works is dead, Faith without works is dead
We are lead to believe
It's not enough in just believing
We'll receive much more if we're willing to change
Just say the word we'll be on our way
To feel to breath to know we are living
Something kind of sad what we've become
If you hear my voice there is a way
What I've found I know is true
I have a lot I have to do
I only hope you're forgiving
I look at the many things I've done
I never meant to hurt anyone
I need to live a life worth living
As I take this journey looking back
If I change my world I wouldn't be
Who I am, who I'll be no sorrow
Faith without works is dead, Faith without works is dead
We are lead to believe
Faith without works is dead, Faith without works is dead
We are lead to believe

The Messenger
10:14
|
|||
You may scoff you may cry
You can analyze your pain
And there's no reason why
You should live your life in vain
I've seen the genius with no common sense
I've seen the scholar live behind the fence
Justify the action without thinking of the other
And train yourself to look the other way
Don't kill the message Don't kill the messenger
Your right of passage stands in your way
We're only human it's so easy to say your sorry
Don't kill the messenger
So you won't even try
To hear the words they say
And you don't need to lie
Enjoy your pain and suffering
I've seen the sadness of a broken man
I've seen the wreckage sure to follow
Too much to change if you look into the meaning
In the end you turn and walk away
Don't kill the message
The whole world could change in a day
And all you need is to be willing
To head the words they say
So the time goes by you're not listening
To that little voice in your head
It's easy to wait until tomorrow
But the day may never end
Don't kill the message if the words they say bring you pain
Don't kill the messenger we should all learn the tale of the King
So turn the page to Chapter One
The man who speaks my father's son
Forever is the mountain we must climb
So the time goes by you're not listening
To that little voice in your head
It's easy to wait until tomorrow
But the day may never end
Don't kill the message if the words they say bring you pain
Don't kill the message shine a light on what we could change
Don't kill the message if the words they say bring you pain
Don't kill the messenger we should all learn the tale of the King
