Illusion

Pride, the zealot of your mind
The id extinguishes ego
Eyes perceiving pure seduction
Indoctrinated lies, injected into the mind
Deceptive tendencies and bribes
Whose only outcome is gluttony
Greed will break you down,
Begging forgiveness on bloody knees

What I see:
Undressing you with my eyes
Revealing everything you hide from me
What I hear:
Your voice befalling to silence
When I ask, the meaning of your intentions
What you speak:
Encrypted raw temptations
Hard enough for anyone to decipher

Leaving you the simple illusion of love
The illusion of me

Envy, the grass is greener on the other side
Distracted by the war inside your mind.
Lust, the fuel for betrayal
Dipping your finger to have a single taste
Sloth forgive your God for everything He's done for you
Anger what you cannot control
It gives permission to everything you need
Begging forgiveness on bloody knees

 Splinter

It is now time for you and I
To remove this splinter in our minds.
It's time to fall in line,
Fall in line for the revolution of love

Sip the nectar of the Gods
Wet the arid sands of love
Visualize a world of peace
Realize your dream is real
Welcome it within your heart
Apprehend just who you are
Don't resist the world of need
Give a helping hand to those in need

The world is a breeding ground for hate
Don't let it betray your heart and soul
This is the time for all of our hope
To fall in line for revolution

The sin of life can't be forgiven
Place no blame in what you're given
Take a look at what's around you
You are not alone I warn you
Take the wisdom placed upon you
All you need is all around you
Don't look to the hatred around you
There is nothing it can do

Now you can see this dream is real.
Love is immortal and glimmers bright
It's time to tell mankind
Fall in line, for the revolution of love

 Paradox

Lying awake here in ecstasy
Feeling your touch just sets me free
Turning thoughts and fears into reality
You can fill my heart with love and
Give me what I need
Unleashed the hounds that fuel love,
Cause only you hold the golden key

Your words are kind and filled with life
Light the flame that lights my way
Straight to your heart, to keep me safe
There's no other thing in this life
That can make me smile like you do.
When I'm with you

I feel the sense of walking on air
When I hear you say what you feel for me
Feel the exhilaration when you are next to me
Isn't is strange how two lost souls
Can find them selves in a paradox that we call life?
I can't believe that you belong to me

 Return to Paradise

Come take a walk with me
On a quest to find myself
Seems that I've lost my way
Along a lonely trail of tears
The fire that once lit my life
Extinguished with drops of my blood
The sand left in my glass
Is meager and flowing, oh... so fast
Can you take me back to
Where the sun shines warm?

Come take a walk with me
Can you help me find myself?
Seems that I've lost my way
Along a lonely trail of tears
The fire that once lit my life
Was extinguished with my blood
The sand that's left inside my glass
Is meager and flowing way too fast
Can you take me back to
Where the sunsets are still warm?

No one can ever see
The pain that hides inside
The tears that flow with time
Fill my heart with isolation
(No one can ever see the tears that flow with time)

I'm feeling low emotion
There's a winter within my heart.
Do you remember my name?
Or the sunshine that melts my heart
The trust I've placed in you
Keeps me tethered to reality
I will walk along with you
I will help you find my way
I will take me back,
Where we'll find myself again

No one can ever see
The pain that hides inside
The tears that flow with time
Fill my heart with isolation
(No one can ever see a heart that wilts with time)

Now I can breathe again
Resurrection of my dying soul
Now as the journey ends
I will wait for you where the sun shines warm

 Music For Dogs

Can you see me lying?
Can you see me crying?
As I live for you
Can you be my lover?
Can you earn my trust?

Feeling me leaving me inside
Feeling me leaving you outside
Feeling me leaning on your side
Feeling me weeping as I cry

Absent feelings, drown in tears
As I'm needing, wade in fear
I am told to wait in here
Live in fear I cannot hear

Absent feelings, drown in tears
As I'm needing, wade in fear
I am told to wait in here
Live in fear I cannot hear

I can see you coming
I can see you laughing
As you live for you
I can't be your lover
You can't gain my trust

Feeling me leaving you outside
Feeling me leaving you to die
Save my heart from the fire
Burning deep within your soul

Absent feelings, drown in tears
As I'm needing, wade in fear
I am told to wait in here
Live in fear I cannot hear

Absent feelings, drown in tears
As I'm needing, wade in fear
I am told to wait in here
Live in fear I cannot hear

 2nd Best

Take a look at your own life
It's a mess you cannot hide
Take a look at what I have
You will never be like me
Twisting minds to get your way
Like a pest, I wish you'd just go away

Judge me:
Look at your own heart
Stealing:
Everything I had
Lying:
Deceive your way through life
Trying:
To always be the best
Failing:
You'll always be second best

Take the time to take apart
All the work I did so hard
Jealousy makes the blood run green
To fulfill your filthy greed
Living life as a parasite
Stealing life that others have
Don't forget how the saying goes
"Bad people live bad lives"

I got something you will never find
(Love)
I am something you will never reach
(I was first)
Second best, you are a void
(Empty and dark)

 Elements of the Paw

We seem to live life as free lives
We want to be on top of the world
We work so hard, just to survive
We are too blind to see the light

Take my hand and you'll soon find out
This life is full of tricks up its sleeve.
Awake yourself from endless dreams
You will not believe the world we live in
The world we live in is a cruel, unjust, enemy
That's why

I Can't take anymore of this delusion
I Can't seem to shake this damn intrusion
I want to live my life without alterations
I want to rid myself from the elements of the paw

As years go by, we slowly die
Slave to the grind, our lot in life
We search for love only to find
It won't install in the game of life

I cannot stand when things go south
Everything spinning out of control
It's world war three inside my head
Follow our hearts, means certain pain
I cannot believe the unrest we deal with
The unrest we deal with, is much harder than life
(That's why

 ...For You

You came to light from shadows
A flower with broken petals
Thorny to understand distinctive ways
Hungry for love's warmth, you clanged to me
Indecision keeps my distant love confusion

I'd put that all aside …
To have you by my side
I'll push my fears away
All aside …for you

How will I live without you here?
I would give my life away …for you
I would climb the highest mountain,
Cross the widest sea,
I would do it over and over ...for you

Years go by, and time takes flight
Who will fill the void left in me?
Will this be our final night, my love?
I see you fade into my lonesome past
I surrender to my heart …for you

I'll put my love inside
And love you till I die
I'd wipe my tears away …
All away …for you

How will I live without you right here?
I would give my life away …for you
I would climb the highest mountain,
Cross the widest sea,
I would do it over and over ...for you

 Rogue

Alone I search for one
To share a dream
Will you set it free?
And bring it to flight?

Come into a world
Of love and pride
Little did I ever know
What this world had in store for me
Walked so far and journeyed long
Solitary for some time
Yearned to see my dreams come true
All to see them crash and burn

Walk the long and winding road
I'm a rogue without a home
Can I be what I used to be?
A man without any misery
I can see inside of me
A man alone, can you set him free? Again…

A fortress standing tall
Walls that crumbled and turned to dust
All the love, striped away
All my pride just cut away
All my happiness, torn away
A wound that bleeds and can't be healed
In a world so vast and cold
I cannot help but to feel alone

Walk the long and winding road
I'm a rogue without a home
Can I be what I used to be?
A man without any misery
I can see inside of me
A man alone, can you set him free? Again…

 Touch of Pink

Feel the emptiness muzzling
Every conscious thought you have
Seems to me that life is
Missing all the joy you trade for lies
All the light inside your head
Is darkened with your lack of love
Shameful day when you realize
Nothing's solved with a touch of pink

Change your point of view,
Life's colored in many hues more than just gray
Give your life a guiding light,
By validating what's inside
Try to hide an ugly scene
By adding just a touch of pink
Gauging everything you are by
Adding another touch of pink

Wasting life
In misery

Feel the emptiness muzzling
Every conscious thought you have
Try to hide an ugly scene
By adding just a touch of pink
Gauging everything you are by
Adding another touch of pink
Shameful day when you realize
Nothing's solved with a touch of pink

Wasting life
To satisfy
Don't shed a tear
For misery

 Call of the Wild

There was time in my life
When things never went, well… right
Then it came to me like a voice in the dark
"Hey boy! you need to live life right"
Awakened something deep inside
A feeling my heart just can't deny
This is the day I must decide
Should I live, or should I die?

(chant)
The call of the wild (2X)

Like a drop of sunshine breathing life
To a heart that needed so much love
Such a joyous feeling inside me
Makes my idle world start to revolve
Who could have dreamed up all of this?
And given this boy eternal bliss
Then I realized I wasn't alone
When I heard a voice say "welcome home"

(chant)
The call of the wild (4X)
