My Own Prison


Torn
Peace is what they tell me
Love am I unholy
Lies are what they tell me
Despise you that control me
(chorus)
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
(chorus)




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
(chorus)
One step on your own and you walk all over me
One head in the clouds you won't let go your to 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
(chorus)




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
(chorus)
So I held my head up high hiding hate that burns inside which
only fuels there 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
(chorus)
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
(chorus)
So I sat down for a while forcing a smile
in a state of self denial is it worth while
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
(chorus)




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
(chorus)
What is right or wrong
I don't know who to believe in
My soul sings a different song In America
Church bells ringing pass the plate around
The choir is singing as their leader falls to the ground
Please Mr prophet man tell me which way to go
I gave my last dollar, can I still come to your show
(chorus)
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 In America




Illusion
(Allusion-Original Version)

The sun rises to another day
My constitution keeps changing till it sleeps away
So I lie awake and stare
My mind thinking, just wondering is anybody there
(chorus)
Should I stay or go
Should I sleep or stay awake
Am I really happy or is it all
Just an Allusion
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
(chorus)
Wait now many things left unsaid
This life remains the same but I change
I try to force myself in believing
Things are going to get better, But life goes on
(chorus)




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 it's void
(chorus)
Think I, Think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I, Think I'm unforgiven to this world
Think I'm Unforgiven
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
(chorus)
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 it's purity




Sister

Caught up in the middle had no choice had no choice
Birthright forgotten so silent, no voice
(chorus)
I see you
You know who
Little girl, little girl
Now realize little girl over looked little girl
Bottled up and empty holding back
At loss your forgotten getting back get back
Expectations of another
Love given to the younger
Broken father, Broken brother
Emptiness feeds the hunger
(chorus)
change 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
Their 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
(chorus)
One oh 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
(chorus)

Misc. Songs

Bound and Tied


Toung-tied, wrist wrist, and wanting
Looks like you might bite, you might bite
Breathin in, breathin 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 cheated, 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 goin 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

Zoomin in, zoomin out, you're questioning,
For that there is no crime, no crime

You're cheated, 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 goin 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, bound and tied
You're bound and tied







Say I



The ghosts are smilin'
I sit alone, with
the feel of human pain

Just enough light has shown through
To tell the night from the day
We're incomplete and hollow
For our mangers gone away

We still blame
We'll surely melt in the rain
Say I, Say I
Say I, Say I
Say I, Say I

Still this is so lifeless
With no spirit in your soul
Children with no vision
Do exactly what they're told

Been led into the desert
For your strength that should appear (to me)

We still blame
We'll surely melt in the rain
Say I, Say I
Say I, Say I
Say I, Say I

Frantic faction focus
The earth breeds
This misconception we call "man"
But, I don't know him
Because he lies, he lies, he lies
He lies
oh yeah...
Say I, Say I....








With Arms Wide Open



Well, I just heard
The news today
It seems my life
Is gonna change

I closed my close
Begin to pray
Then tears of joy
Roll down my face

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything

With arms wide open
With arms wide open

Well, I don't know
If I'm ready
To be the man
I have to be

I take a breath
I take her by my side
We stand in awe
That we created life

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

How everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything

With arms wide open
With arms wide open

I'll show you everything, oh yeah
With arms wide open

If I had just one wish
Only one demand
I hope he's not like me,
I hope he understands

That he can take this life
And hold it by the hand
And he can greet the world
With arms wide open

With arms wide open
Under the sunlight
Welcome to this place
I'll show you everything

With arms wide open
How everything has changed
I'll show you love
I'll show you everything
With arms wide open

With arms wide open
With arms wide open
Wide open, wide open, wide open









Wrong Way



What makes you talk
What makes you feel
What makes you stop and smell the roses
In an open field
What makes you breath

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah
What makes you live
What makes you cry
What makes our youth far(?)
From the thought that we might die
What makes you breath

Somebody told me the wrong way
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Somebody told me the wrong way

What if I die?
What did I give?
I hope it was an answer
So you might live

I hope I helped you live...
I hope I helped you live...
I hope I helped you live...
I hope I helped you live...
I hope I helped you live...
live, live, live...

Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Somebody told me the wrong way
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Somebody told me the wrong way
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, yeah









Young Grow Old



He said it's fallin' to pieces
Fighting the boy, and the man
Over his shoulder, there was freedom,
But consciousness has tied his hands

Am I at youth
Once his distinction
Now consciousness has tied hands

I said I'm not afraid of weakness
And that's the key to understand

So far in a distant land
No one thinks that the young man can

See the light through the open door
Sit and watch, as the young grow old

Watching the people in the circle
Watching the glass spill the sand


I said are you afraid of weakness
Well that's your key to understand

So far in a distant land
No one thinks that the young man can

See the light through the open door
Sit and watch, as the young grow old

So young grow old
So young grow old

So young grow older

Take 'em now, see the boy is free, yeah(?)
What to be, what to be…

Take 'em now, she leans on weak, yeah(??)
Is this the way, this the way?

So far in a distant land
No one thinks that the young man can


See the light through the open door
Sit and watch, as the young grow old






I'm Eighteen


(originally by Alice Cooper)

Lines form on my face and hands
Lines form from the up's and down's
I'm in the middle without any plans
I'm a boy and I'm a man

I'm eighteen and I don't know what I want
Eighteen, I just don't know what I want
Eighteen, I gotta get away
I've gotta get out of this place
I'll go running in outer space
Oh Yeah

I've gotta baby's brain and an old man's heart
Took eighteen years to get this far
Don't always know what I'm talking about
Feels like I'm living in the middle of doubt
Cause I'm

Eighteen, I get confused everyday
Eighteen, I just don't know what to say
Eighteen, I gotta get away

Oh, lines form on my face and my hands
Lines form on the left and right
I'm in the middle, the middle of life
I'm a boy and I'm a man

I'm Eighteen and I like it
Yes I like it
Well I like it, love it, like it, love it
Eighteen, Eighteen, Eighteen
I'm Eighteen and I like it
