We Are One 02:55
lyrics
We Are One Follow me as I follow you Lead us to the blinding sun Together, Forever, We'll never drift apart We belong to each other Together, Forever That's how we will stay as one Torture me as I torture you Draw me to the hungry gun Together, Forever, We'll never get away We won't find another Together, Forever But for how long? Somebody told me that you're not happy, you're not in love with me We said we'd stay together for eternity, just you and me A little birdie said you're not happy, you're not in love with me When we swore we'd be together, together, forever We Are One Somebody told me that you're not happy, you're not in love with me We said we'd stay together for eternity, just you and me A little birdie said you're not happy, you're not in love with me When we swore we'd be together, together, together Together Together Together Together Together Forever You and me

December Rose 03:41
lyrics
December Rose So you're back again I see you're back again Oh December Rose So rare and so delicate Show me what it's like to feel how you feel Teach me how to live so I can feel real Hold out your hand And loan me the strength To face my darkest fears Give me your strength Show me what it's like to feel how you feel Teach me how to live so I can feel real You say, you say, you say You say, you say, you say You say, you say, you say You say, you say, you say You say... You say... I'll never be yours and you will never be mine You say you're here to stay but all you do is run away Oh December Rose, you are one of a kind You say you're here to stay but all you do is run away... From the truth Show me what it's like to feel how you feel Teach me how to live so I can feel real Show me what it's like to feel how you feel Teach me how to live so I can feel real You say, you say, you say You say, you say, you say You say, you say, you say You say, you say, you say

Down 02:56
lyrics
Down I'm moving to America I don't know what to expect I see on the t.v Foul language and sex Here she comes again Kick her while she's down She just wants a friend So show her around... Don't want to go again, don't need to go again Don't want to go again, don't need to go again Thought everyone loved me But they all called me a whore It wasn't my fault I was raped And now my heart's filled with hate I want to take some rope, and hang with myself They're going to tell their jokes, but I don't want to hear I don't need to mope, I care about my health They want me to choke, but I won't disappear. I'm going to take some rope, and hang with myself They're still telling jokes, and I don't want to hear I don't mean to mope, I want to keep my health I just want to choke, and maybe disappear... I just took this rope, I'm hanging with myself They kept telling jokes, but I said I don't want to hear I won't ever mope, I don't care about my health Now I get to choke, so let me disappear. Don't want to go again, don't need to go again Don't want to go again, don't need to go again -Lyrics by Mykel Nitro, for Phoebe Prince (November 24, 1994-January 14, 2010) Read her story here and help stop bull shit: http://newsfeed.time.com/2011/05/05/teens-who-admitted-to-bullying-phoebe-prince-sentenced/

I'll Hold On 04:01
lyrics
I'll Hold On Born together, born as friends Never dies, it never ends Here today and gone tomorrow Always glad, never sorrow Though the light begins to fade I'm still here And I'm not going anywhere Without you Though we've been apart We've always been near I will never let you go I'll keep you alive Here I stand, here I fall Never short, but never tall Who's to say, who's to blame Always proud and never ashamed In the end I will be Right by your side We will never lose Only prevail I'll be right there To face tomorrow's tide I'll be right there I'll hold on... And I won't see you die I won't see you die I won't see you die I won't see you die I'll hold on... Born together, born as friends Never dies, it never ends (Here I stand, here I fall Never short, but never tall) Here today and gone tomorrow Always glad, never sorrow (Who's to say, who's to blame Always proud and never ashamed) I'll never leave your side I will never let you go I'll stick around I won't let you die I won't back down I'll keep you alive I'll stand my ground I'll be there... I'll hold on... And I won't see you die I won't see you die I won't see you die I won't see you die I won't see you die (I'll hold on) I won't see you die (I'll hold on) I won't see you die (I'll hold on) I won't see you die (I'll hold on) I'll hold on...

Season 03:55

Season It's all the same Will it ever change? Give us something good Like a good boy should Give me a reason A reason to hold on to I need my season A season that will hold true I crave desire I feel the fire Drenched with sin As I burn within It's still alive Will it ever die? No place safe to run From the blinding sun Give me a reason A reason to hold on to I need my season A season that will hold true I crave desire I feel the fire Drenched with sin As I burn within "There's a light that shines inside us all. This light warms us with hopes of who we dream to be, yet society forces us to shackle this light to darkness. Well I refuse to let this light be bound and gagged any longer! It's time for us all to unite as one... It's time for us all to release that inner light... It's time to let all of our dreams and desires burn free!" Give me a reason A reason to hold on to I need my season A season that will hold true I crave desire I feel the fire Drenched with sin As I burn within Give me a reason A reason to hold on to I need my season A season that will hold true I crave desire I feel the fire Drenched with sin As I burn within

Catalyst 03:50
lyrics
Catalyst Sometimes I ask myself How did I get here So far from what I love So far from who I once was But maybe change is what I need, or one last flight September's starting early, I think that I just might Blast off to the stars Play songs for the Earth My change will be spent On the Sun's light For better or for worse Each day's a new verse There's a time and a place, I'm sure There's a will to endure I never woke up this way Please respond if I am right But I must be the same man Who went to this bed last night But maybe change is what I need, or one last flight September's starting early, I think that I just might Blast off to the stars Play songs for the Earth My change will be spent On the Sun's light For better or for worse Each day's a new verse There's a time and a place, I'm sure There's a will to endure Hammers to nails Pen to paper It never fails It never tapers Blast off to the stars Play songs for the Earth My change will be spent On the Sun's light For better or for worse Each day's a new verse There's a time and a place, I'm sure There's a will to endure Hammers to nails Pen to paper It never fails It never tapers

Escape From Instinct 02:12
lyrics
Escape From Instinct They say I've got to learn to check my brain Got to keep straight, got to stay in shape They want to put me down 'cuz I'm insane Got to find hope, got to find a way to... Escape from (We must now) Instinct City (Escape from) The only thing we can truly escape from is ourselves So take my hand and come with me, we'll escape this living hell I don't know how, but I've got to get away Got to get out, out of this place Got to escape to fight another day Got to live to fight another Mother-fucking day Escape from (We must now) Instinct City (Escape from) The only thing we can truly escape from is ourselves So take my hand and come with me, we'll escape this living hell Find a way, get away, and stay away Escape from instinct City Escape from (We must now) Instinct City (Escape from) The only thing we can truly escape from is ourselves So take my hand and come with me, we'll escape this living hell

Satellite Radio 04:16
lyrics
Satellite Radio "Foolish human you dare to follow me Even after I killed your family I take from those too blind to see And I'll kill all those with a mind and a mouth to speak" I don't know if you can see This world-wide travesty It rapes the poor and it kills the weak (Wake up, stand up, fight back, before it kills you) There's a tare in the Earth and we're all sinking Down and all the while we're thinking "Stay afloat" Why's it so hard to live? Live and let live Live and let live Live and let live "A challenge I am willing to meet I won't be taken down so easily By your work-worn hands and soul burned feet" Your speech has gone on for far too long! My cry is loud and my fight is strong! So back down now before I prove you wrong! I don't know if you can see This world-wide travesty It rapes the poor and it kills the weak (Wake up, stand up, fight back, before it kills you) There's a tare in the Earth and we're all sinking Down and all the while we're thinking "Stay afloat" Why's it so hard to live? Live and let live Live and let live Live and let live Live and let! I don't know if you can see (Wake up, stand up, fight back, before it kills you) This world-wide travesty (Wake up, stand up, fight back, before it kills you) It rapes the poor and it kills the weak (Wake up, stand up, fight back, before it kills you) There's a tare in the Earth and we're all sinking Down and all the while we're thinking "Stay afloat" Why's it so hard to... "Stay afloat" Why can't we just... "Stay afloat" How's it so hard to live? Live and let live Live and let live Live and let live Live and let live Live and let live Live and let live Live and let live Live and let live!! Live and let live!! Live and let live!! Live and let live!! Okay!!

Shine 02:38
lyrics
Shine When the sun shines, it shines on me But when you look up, they're all you'll see When I die, music will cease "Best ever born", my grave will read One day you'll see I'll make you believe One day you'll see This world belongs to me When I was born, the Gods, they screamed None could believe what they had seen This kid was born with musical genes One day he will tare this music scene One day you'll see I'll make you believe One day you'll see This world belongs to me (Not You) This world is mine to take (Not You) I'll make a believer out of you (Not You) This world is mine to take (Not You) There's not a thing you can do One day you'll see I'll make you believe One day you'll see This world belongs to me (Not You) This world is mine to take (Not You) I'll make a believer out of you (Not You) This world is mine to take (Not You) There's not a thing you can do (Not You) This world is mine to take (Not You) I'll make a believer out of you (Not You) This world is mine to take (Not You) There's not a thing you can do

Golden Eye 03:27
lyrics
Golden Eye I've been waiting all my life for this moment to arrive, and I'm going to grab the torch before the moment passes me by. I see my chance and the sign can't get any bigger. So I'm going to seize the moment and I'm going to pull that trigger... Get it from him!! Get it from him!! Get it from him!! Get it from him!! Passing through all the obstacles, I can see the treasure's mine. Pure gold, fully loaded, a sight for swore eyes. Alarms are sounding off so faster and faster I run. Bullets are flying by me but wait... Now I have the Golden Gun... Get it from him!! Get it from him!! Get it from him!! Get it from him!! Get it from him!! Everybody run!! Get it from him!! He's got the Golden Gun!! Get it from him!! Get it from him!! Get it from him!! Get it from him!! Get it from him!! Everybody run!! Get it from him!! He's got the Golden Gun!!

Road To Nowhere 04:43
lyrics
Road To Nowhere Been heading down this road for all my years A road I've seen before, but never been near All alone I stare into the eyes of fear Which path to follow next, blood, sweat, or tears? I am lost and all alone Running down this road to nowhere I fight this battle all on my own Stranded on this road to nowhere I keep on running, so maybe I can see What lies on this path before me Though all this mist just blinds me I keep on running in search of destiny I am lost and all alone Running down this road to nowhere I fight this battle all on my own Stranded on this road to nowhere To nowhere... I am lost and all alone Running down this road to nowhere I fight this battle all on my own Stranded on this road to nowhere To nowhere... I am lost and all alone! Heading down this empty road! Searching for my destiny! I can't get off... So I'm lost and I'm running! Stuck and I'm stranded! Lost and I'm running! Stuck and I'm stranded! LOST! STUCK! ON A ROAD TO NOWHERE!!
