Track Name: Poison and Pride
Ridin' together we can sail this ocean on
Leavin' all the things we ever did so wrong
Back with yesterday.........it's gone

Takin' the only time we know to hold so dear
Makin' sweet love till the morning shines in clear
Ain't no limit while you're here

Baby, grab ahold
Honey, never let go

Glidin' down that 'ol country lane
Listenin' to those steel pipes screamin' off our pain
Ain't got no reason to ever change

Somewhere in the middle of my poison and my pride
It was you I was trying to find
It's nothing worth dying for
But I'd be lying if I said I hadn't tried
It's definitely crossed my mind
Track Name: Only
Here comes the night with it's tailored cloak and it's whirl
I'm all alone with my mind on this particular girl
Wonderin' who's keeping her warm
And who's holding her tight
Once I was that man but obviously not tonight

I still see her in that dress
Blowing up my mind into a radiated cosmic mess
Will she remember me like all the rest
Or am I the only one like she's the only one
And all the others only compare less

There goes her touch and the remnants of her figertips
Once wrapped around my cup
Which covered up my emptiness
Trying to dig my way back to the heart of the root
This power of emotion chokes my soul
Like the lace on a boot

Now I'm in the dark as my eyes are struggling to see
Through the blood shot ring that seperates her from me
Wonderin' where she is tonight is she being loved
Or is she waiting on someone to fill her cup
Track Name: How it Hurts
Is this really what it takes to forget you
I'm a lifetime away from finding truth
Through the crossroads to nowhere
Longing for my youth

So this is what it feels like to miss you right
So this is how it hurts to grip love tight
At the edge of the evening
Longing for one more sight

Sun don't drift away
The night is here to stay
I'll be waiting up to hear you say -
I can't hide from love
I can't turn and run
It's been far too long a solemn day
A solemn day

Is there something I can drink to clear my head
Is there somewhere I can go to feel like I'm dead
From the distant horizon
I cry and dream instead
Track Name: Dreams Have You Now
Had a dream last night that I saw you
And pulled you into my arms
Walls crumbled around us
And the line that divides trust and truth was gone

The things that seperate right from wrong and dark from light
Joined with what remains
I saw beams of repent and beams of sorrow
Vanish from all consciousness
And burn through the scars of pain

Everything I thought was real
I left it all behind
The only thing I wish to feel
Is a figment of my mind

I can't decide just what went down
Was our love solid as the day is whole
Or was it just a vision from long ago
That fired out a fantasy and scorched the nerve of my soul

Move closer, don't wait too soon
The world outside is growing colder
Roll over, don't break the spoon
It's only real when I'm holding you

I woke up this morning and realized
You were not lying next to me
I thought I had it all in the cradle of your eyes
But only dreams have you now and I'm left with a memory
Track Name: Burning Flower
One more day in hell
The ghost of Jesus Christ just fell
For all the wrong things that I've done
I sure feel them now
Will I ever love again, have the chance to make amends
Can I turn the clock back until time bends

Within every fable lies a child inside a cradle
I've given all I have to find one last chance at redemption

Cornered in a room
Stands an exorcist and a loon
Selling tickets to a parasite lagoon
They say if I pay the fee
Get down on my hands and knees
Sins will wash away beneath forgiving seas

So I wait for heaven's shower standing dry like a burning flower
I've given all I have to find a fading chance at redemption

So I pick up the 'ol good book
Scratch my head and take a look
With every turning page oooooh I sure feel shook
The judge he silently waits
As St. Peter stands at the gate
I bow down to the master of my fate

Beyond these walls there's light
But this cell is so damn tight
Everytime I open my eyes there is no sight
It seems a lifetime ago
I walked down a careless road
Never fearing the reckoning oh....oh.......oh
Track Name: The Waiting
Days are crawling by like centuries
I'll never live to see your face
But there's one thing that is plain to see
No one else can take your place

I only want to follow you
To be your side
Even if you walk away
I'll be right behind waiting on your eyes

Around the corner there's a daydream
That I've been chasing for too long
Hoping one day you'll say to me
What we had is never gone

I only want to follow you
To be by your side
Even if you walk away
I'll be right behind waiting on your eyes

Waiting on your eyes

If tomorrow comes too slowly
Tell me you'll be here today
I'm all alone on this journey
Wishin' love that you would stay

I got love for you baby
Right in front of you
I know you got love for me too
But you're too afraid to try baby
Let the vibe flow through
I know you want it, I want it too
How can you just sit there and be alone
When it's right in front of you
Oooh I want it I know you want it too
I got love for you baby
Dying for you
I know you got love for me too
Track Name: Stay Movin'
I've fallen on my face
Can I get back up
I twist and turn, scream and shake
There's no one there to trust

I start the day with an open mind
And I tell the people I'm fine
I know I'm crazy but I'm movin' on
Damn right I'm movin' on

If there's one thing that I learn
It's to throw my ego down
I skim the surface and scratch the Earth
To realize I'll never be found
Track Name: Illusion of Fate
Tell me what it is you long to hear me say
And I'll whisper it in your ear
Tell me what it is you long to feel me do
And make sure you're here.........oh love
Make sure you're here.........oh love

You got me crawlin' and crawlin' to what it is you think you need
And you expect me to know
But despite what you think you're getting harder and harder to read
You gotta let me know.........oh love
You gotta tell me so.........oh love

If this is an illusion of fate and I'm having trouble seeing the signs
It's 'cause I'm so far gone
Lately it takes everything I have to understand what's mine
Cause it's been so long.........oh love
It's been too long.........oh love

I'm standin' on the corner of temptation and dreams
Watching time roll by
I keep on tellin' myself it's not as hard as it seems
But what's the use in trying.........oh love
Is there any use in trying.........oh love
Is there any use in trying
Track Name: Black Powdered Cloud
Fate has got me by the neck
I'm strangled with a payless debt
Pace has taken too much time
I'm stranded with no piece of mind

I never like to beg
I'm a highway child
I've crossed the final leg
Now I'm running for a black powdered cloud

Guns taste like desolate roads
Handled with a weightless load
Freedom is not a dream in time
It's loaded, cocked, I'm ready to walk to the end of the line

Those who judge suicide
Do you have kin in Christ
Your doctors are beyond control
They're laying down hopeless and soul-less roles

Me, I'm proof in the flesh
You drug my mind full so now I only gain less
Judgement, oh you know it will speak it's mind
But, I'm not one no I'm not one for waisting time
Track Name: Wake Up Call
Leave what you left behind
When you seek and cannot find
Let go of your mind
And open up your eyes

Pick yourself up off the ground
So she's dragged you down
Take heed of this sound -
You're running out of time

Stop being what you're not
Oh yes you will get caught
The soul can only rot
Tailored by a crime

Leave worry to crash and burn
Forget everything you've learned
Grab all that is to earn
Just from being alive
