Torn
Peace is
what they tell
me
Love am I unholy
Lies are what
they tell me
Despise you
that control
me
The peace is
dead in my soul
I have blamed
the reason for
My intentions
poor
Yes I'm the
one who
The only one
who
Would carry
on this far
Torn, I'm filthy
Born in my own
misery
Stole all that
you gave me
Control you
claim you save
me
The peace is
dead in my soul
I have blamed
the reason for
My intentions
poor
Yes I'm the
one who
The only one
who
Would carry
on this far

Ode
Hang me,
watch awhile
Let me see
you smile
as I die
Take me, as
my body burns
Let me see
you yearn,
while I cry
One step on
your own
And you walk
all over me
One head in
the clouds
You won't
let go
You're too
proud
One light
to the blind,
and they see
One touch
on the head,
we believe
Adore me as
I drift away
Let me hear
you say I'm
fine
You cry as
my body dies
All that you
despised is
gone away
One step on
your own
And you walk
all over me
One head in
the clouds
You won't
let go, you're
too proud
One light
to the blind,
and they see
One touch
on the head,
we believe

My
Own Prison
A court
is in session,
a verdict
is in
No appeal
on the docket
today
Just my own
sin
The walls
are cold and
pale
The cage made
of steel
Screams fill
the room
Alone I drop
and kneel
Silence now
the sound
My breath
the only motion
around
Demons cluttering
around
My face showing
no emotion
Shackled by
my sentence
Expecting
no return
Here there
is no penance
My skin begins
to burn
So I held
my head up
high
Hiding hate
that burns
inside
Which only
fuels their
selfish pride
We're all
held captive
Out from the
sun
A sun that
shines on
only some
We the meek
are all in
one
I hear a thunder
in the distance
See a vision
of a cross
I feel the
pain that
was given
On that sad
day of loss
A lion roars
in the darkness
Only he holds
the key
A light to
free me from
my burden
And grant
me life eternally
Should have
been dead
On a Sunday
morning
Banging my
head
No time for
mourning
Ain't got
no time
So I held
my head up
high
Hiding hate
that burns
inside
Which only
fuels their
selfish pride
We're all
held captive
Out from the
sun
A sun that
shines on
only some
We the meek
are all in
one
I cry out
to God
Seeking only
his decision
Gabriel stands
and confirms
I've created
my own prison

Pity
For A Dime
An artificial
season
Covered by
summer rain
Losing all
my reason
Cause there's
nothing left
to blame
Shadows paint
the sidewalk
A living picture
in a frame
See the sea
of people
All their
faces look
the same
So I sat down
for awhile
Forcing a
smile
In a state
of self-denial
Is it worthwhile
Sell my pity
for a dime
Just one dime
Sell my pity
for a dime
Just one dime
Plain talk
can be the
easy way
Signs of losing
my faith
So I sat down
for awhile
Forcing a
smile
In a state
of self-denial
Is it worthwhile
Sell my pity
for a dime
Just one dime
Sell my pity
for a dime
Just one dime

In
America
Only in America
We're slaves
to be free
Only in America
we kill the
unborn
To make ends
meet
Only in America
Sexuality
is democracy
Only in America
we stamp our
god
"In God
We Trust"
What is right
or wrong
I don't know
who to believe
in
My soul sings
a different
song
In America
Church bell's
ringing
Pass the plate
around
The choir
is singing
As their leader
falls to the
ground
Please mister
prophet man
Tell me which
way to go
I gave my
last dollar
Can I still
come to your
show
What is right
or wrong
I don't know
who to believe
in
My soul sings
a different
song
In America
I am right
and you are
wrong
I am right
and you are
wrong
I am right
and you are
wrong
No one's right
and no one's
wrong

Illusion
The sun
rises to another
day
My constitution
keeps changing
'Til it slips
away
So I lie awake
and stare
My mind thinking,
just wandering
Is anybody
there?
Should I stay
or go
Should I sleep
or stay awake
Am I really
happy or is
it all
Just an illusion
Sitting in
my room now
Hiding thoughts
Just hoping
one day I'll
get out
I hear a voice
call my name
Breaking trance,
so silent
So I can stay
the same
Should I stay
or go
Should I sleep
or stay awake
Am I really
happy or is
it all
Just an illusion
Wait now,
many things
left unsaid
This life
remains the
same
But I change
I try to fool
myself in
believing
Things are
going to get
better
But life goes
on
Should I stay
or go
Should I sleep
or stay awake
Am I really
happy or is
it all
Just an illusion

Unforgiven
I kept up
With the prophecy
you spoke
I kept up with
the message
inside
Lost sight of
the irony
Of twisted faith
Lost sight of
my soul and
its void
Think I'm unforgiven
to this world
Took a chance
at deceiving
myself
To share in
the consequence
of lies
Childish with
my
Reasoning and
pride
Godless to the
extent that
I died
Think I'm unforgiven
to this world
Think I'm unforgiven
Step inside
the light and
see the fear
Of God burn
inside of me
The gold was
put to flame
To kill, to
burn, to mold
its purity

Sister
Caught
up in the
middle
Had no choice,
had no choice
Birthright
forgotten,
so silent
No voice
I see you
You know who
Little girl,
little girl
Now realize
little girl
Overlooked
little girl
Bottled up
and empty
holding back
At loss you're
forgotten
Getting back,
get back
Expectations
of another
Love given
to the younger
Broken father,
broken brother
Emptiness
feeds the
hunger
I see you
You know who
Little sister,
little sister
Now realize
little sister
Overlooked
little girl
Change, change,

What's
This Life
For
Hurray
for a child
That makes
it through
If there's
any way
Because the
answer lies
in you
They're laid
to rest
Before they
know just
what to do
Their souls
are lost
Because they
could never
find
What's this
life for
I see your
soul, it's
kind of gray
I see your
heart, you
look away
You see my
wrist, I know
your pain
I know your
purpose on
your plane
Don't say
a last prayer
Because you
could never
find
What's this
life for
But they ain't
here anymore
Don't have
to settle
the score
Cause we all
live
Under the
reign of one
king

One
Affirmative
may be justified
Take from
one give to
another
The goal is
to be unified
Take my hand
be my brother
The payment
silenced the
masses
Sanctified
by oppression
Unity took
a back seat
Sliding further
in regression
One
The only way
is one
I feel angry
I feel helpless
Want to change
the world
I feel violent
I feel alone
Don't try
and change
my mind
Society blind
by color
Why hold down
one to raise
another
Discrimination
now on both
sides
Seeds of hate
blossom further
The world
is heading
for mutiny
When all we
want is unity
We may rise
and fall,
but in the
end
We meet our
fate together
One
The only way
is one
I feel angry
I feel helpless
Want to change
the world
I feel violent
I feel alone
Don't try
and change
my mind

Bound
& Tied
Tongue-tied,
restless,
and wanting
Looks like
you might
bite, you
might bite
Breathing
in, breathing
out,
you're weakened
The poison's
hit your mind,
your mind.
Time's ticking
and its got
ya thinking',
You're happy
with your
life, your
life
You're jaded,
slated and
singled out
by all those
chains that
bind, that
bind
Take a jet
plane my way
lately
Cause now
you are mine,
you are mine
This airplane's
going my way
Cause now
you're bound
and tied
You're bound
and tied
You're bound
and tied
Now sit and
reflect on
all the fame
Time to dim
your light,
your light
Zooming in,
zooming out,
you're questioning
For that there
is no crime,
no crime
You're jaded,
slated and
singled out,
by all those
chains they
bind, they
bind
Take a jet
plane my way
lately
Cause now
you are mine,
you are mine
This airplane's
going my way
Cause now
you're bound
and tied
You're bound
and tied
You're bound
and tied
And we fly,
we fly, we
fly
And we fly,
we fly, we
fly
And we fly,
and we fly...away,
away
Bound and
tied,
bound and
tied
You're Bound
and Tied
Bound and
tied,
bound and
tied
You're bound
and tied
Bound and
tied.
