Back streets . . . oh hell,
back where I started from theres not a thing . . . but you. When they took you, when they took you from me and left you bleeding on that concrete floor. One mans obsession is another mans trash, and Mary was more than a whore. And every day I breathe I remember more. Ive become something you wouldnt believe! Ive got this number burned in my brain, a walking nightmare, only slightly insane. They tried to take my fight, almost took my life. They took my truth from me. But when they left me, they didnt know me, cause Im like a lion thats about to roar. Mistakes you make, you take to your grave. And now Im gonna even the score. And every day I live I remember more. I aint got nothing to sell, but its time to pay attention, Im back with one foot in hell. Im back. Theres nothing left but memories here of something that I didnt begin with. You wanted to believe in something until the end. Yeah Im like a ghost back from the dead. I need revenge. Gonna have his head. Im gonna finish this and X marks the spot. Im gonna find him give him all that I got. And every day I breathe I remember more. I aint coming at you with something to sell, but you better believe, Im back with one foot in hell. Im back. |

Culture hostage.
Im writhing in the cold grasp of justice, as she turns away. Blind is she supposed to be but, someone took a razor to her mask. Rusted now the scales you hold, the balance tipped by the weight of gold. When will it end? When will it ever end? The judgment man holds my fate, as I beg forgiveness with the plastic smile of a candidate. They take for granted that Im out of my mind and theyre wasting their time to care. So all my reasons are damned before theyre heard. Im held hostage by their words. What will lead us to tolerance if we dont question our prejudice? Courage is such a lonely word, patience, in time these truths will be known. Please, dont keep looking away. You see fortunes are on line, reputations at risk, and theres fear in the hearts of all of you that believe that youre right, and thats your right. But are you . . . right? The judgment man holds my fate, as I gaze around the room, their eyes are like knives, could decapitate. They take for granted that Im out of my mind and Im wasting their time, dont show, dont show me my fate. Reasons are damned, cant understand. If I fall to pieces theyll know . . . hes out of his mind and hes wasting our time, we know. As I sense my fate . . . His reasons be damned, cant understand him. . . . and now all my reasons are damned before theyre heard. Im held hostage by their words. Im a hostage. |

When I'm lost...I find a way.
I hear voices. Feel them surround me, pull me from the edge. I close my eyes and.... And my luck keeps holding strong, even when that boot comes down. Waiting for the revolution but there's no one around except the ...hands out of nowhere, saving me again There's always something there watching out for me, if I'm suffocating, it gives me air. Finally now I remember, but where I'm going now, I'm not sure. Only one thing matters much to me anymore. I'm looking for you. Can you imagine? You can't think. You won't find a way this time to frighten me. You're running scared now, always looking over your shoulder for a place where you don't see my face. When my luck keeps holding so strong, even with the state I'm in. I'm like a revolution of one, even when I stumble I win. Because there's hands out of nowhere, saving me again. There's always something there, watching out for me. When I'm suffocating, it gives me air. I'm like a cat with only a few lives left, running from the shadows. Watching my back waiting for the attack that I know is coming...I feel it's near. |

Wonder whered the time go?
There it was, gone in the blink of an eye. See how much life is left staring back in my face? But I know it now as clear as, clear as a window. Never thought this day would come, I never thought Id see. half my life is gone. Thought Id never live to see . . . Never thought this day would come . . . I never thought Id see half my life is gone Thought Id never live to be . . . much of anything. Everything moves faster now. Were living at the speed of light. I stand here fascinated, watching as it all goes by. Maybe I should live whats left . . . like it was my last. Never thought this day would come . . . I never thought Id see half my life is gone. Id never live to see . . . Never thought this day would come . . . I never thought Id see half my life is gone Id never live to be . . . much of anything. Everything moves faster now. Where are you now? Feeling small. Cant live without it? You call this your best? I made my life a mess. And everyone but you sees it. What a fool. What are you gonna do, make more excuses? Dont worry, Ill kill the bastard! |

Imagine if you will, what it means . . .

Ill never surrender! Time for heads to roll! Do you think Ive got to have one good reason? The question stands, how does he keep getting into my head? I know Ill never see. Ive got to get free. No matter whats said, Id rather see him dead! You might be wondering why . . . I cant take any more? I cant take any more. Ill tear him down! Im gonna tear him down! Ive been called so many things Now what do you see? A failure dares to dream? Now, I cant remember! All the signs say go! Would I surrender? To try to save your soul? I cant remember! All the signs say go! Ill never surrender! I cant remember! All the signs say go! Would I surrender? To try to save your soul? I cant remember! All the signs say go! Convince me, mesmerize me Feed me more lies. Ill get stronger! How do you get him out, out of your head? I know Ill never see. Ive got to get free. No matter whats said, I swear Ill see him dead! I cant remember! All the signs say go! Would I surrender? To try to save your soul? I cant remember! All the signs say go! Ill never surrender! Its time for heads to roll! I cant remember!

Last time, missed my chance but never again.
The further away you slip, the more Ill dig in. All things come around again and this time Ill be ready and waiting. You cant imagine dedication that I now possess. Theres no one left to save you. Where you run I will follow. Ill step by step re-arrange you. Theres nowhere to hide. Youll never see me coming but youll feel the fear from my shadow. With intensity, yeah, youll bleed. Before its over youll age ten years older. Time flows like a river . . . deep. Im going to take you down. Theres no one left to save you. Where you run I will follow. Ill step by step re-arrange you. Theres nowhere to hide. They say let the world change you and you can change the world. Theyll bit by bit re-arrange you. I cant change the world. Its taken me years to get to this place. I found you hiding inside a persona you built from my pain. Fortune has finally come and vengeance is mine Ive won. Ill take the world now by storm. Do I let the world change me? Do I lead or follow? Theyll step by step re-arrange me. Let them all try! If I let the world change me, step by step re-arrange me. If I focus on tomorrow, maybe I could change the world! |

You think youre smart, inventive
because youve figured out my game? Pride is a handy substitute, when youve got only yourself to blame. All my dreams Ive realized while you . . . were indisposed. While youve spent eighteen years watching TV, Ive watched my fortune grow. Here I amIm finally on the outside and Youre nowhere near where Ive been! Ive got you where I want you . . . at last. Youve got no idea who I am! We circle around each other waiting for reaction We circle around each other waiting for reaction wanting satisfaction for the past. I want nothing . . . from the past. Always been so easy youre like a puppet on my string, throwing down hollow threats, unsure of what to think. Why should I care? You wouldnt dare! Youre nothing but worthless . . . I swear. From where I stand Ive got you where I want you. Youll never take me! Never take me down! Ive seen all I need to put you in the ground Revenge is normal, a typical reaction Ive seen your cynical reaction . . . if youre standing outside of in. always on the outside of in. Here we are at last facing oblivion . . . And this is where finally it ends. You dont belong here. holding fast to each of our sins. With hope by my side, Ill survive to see the dawn. Believe me or not . . . you owe me. I owe you nothing! I gave your life a purpose! I owe you nothing but your death! Without me you would have learned nothing! |

Lost my faith in humanity
and I dont trust in society Im numb, cold, ready. No one else dies today . . . What did you do? I dont remember . . . Murderer! They say Im a murderer! God must be dead because Im still free. No religion holds me . . . am I the killer? No one else dies today . . . What did you do? Im the revenger, Murderer! No! Im the revenger! Murderer! No Im the . . . black hand of death! Sixty-five hundred days . . . Im feeling good for the first time in years. Your miserable life is in my hands. What would you do? Kill him! Does this signal an ending or another dream just beginning? Are his actions worth forgiving? No more pain! Revenge! Havent you enough? The dog is on his knees! Does this signal an ending or another dream just beginning? Is revenge worth any price? Tell me whats right? He wants more life! NO! You want more life? NO! Is this my victory? Murderer! Am I? Stay down on your knees and explain it to me one more time. What gives you the right? You took away my life . . . ! and left me with nothing, nothing. This is like what I dreamed . . . it seems like a good day to die. And so it ends. And now what? |

She said, Baby, where you been?
Whyd you have to leave me? Im on the other side . . . just looking in. Ive been so high; I climbed to the mountaintop, looked at myself and . . . Id tell you anything you want to hear. And Id desert you when Im through. Id say anything because true love dont mean a thing to a man, whos not a man, but a fool. Look at me! Youre a model of efficiency. Im always doing what he tells me. How can you change it now? Im always looking for it down deep inside, I thought that this would change my life. Have you found out? I remember more . . . Can you change? I can change. For years he must have cried a river of tears. In his dreams he saw himself . . . a dying man drawing figures, arrows in the sand. Mmm, I dont think he understands. Never thought that it would last forever. One glance back . . . theres nothing much to say. He watched as it all began spinning further and further from the truth. And nothing really matters, when your heart doesnt lead the way. |

Where are you now?
Feeling small. Cant live without it? You call this your best? I made my life a mess. And everyone but you sees it. What a fool. What are you gonna do, make more excuses? Why dont you tie it off? Hang myself? End your pathetic little life! What is your life worth now? Is this what you pictured for yourself? Do you understand anything? Youre not there yet. Youre not anywhere yet. Am I closer? Go back to your mountain. |

I feel like Im rising,
as everything falls away. I feel old like the cold wind blowing outside today. Got my finger on the trigger and no one cares. When they find me face down in the river will they just leave me there? Hang on, dont let go! Just hang on! Dont let go! Come on, come on gotta take a ride, Fear City slide. Last chance @ suicide. Come on, come on leave your head outside, youve built a lie. Last chance @ suicide. Come on, come on lets take a ride! Last chance @ suicide. Will anyone remember? Will they learn from my mistakes? Sometimes it takes a lifetime of pain to change. Im closing on the edge here and youve heard it all before . . . but what good did any of my life bring? What was it really for? Hang on dont let go! Just hang on and dont let go! Come on, come on gotta take a ride, Fear City slide. Last chance @ suicide. Come on, come on leave your head outside, youve lived a lie. Last chance @ suicide. Come on, come on lets take a ride! Last chance @ suicide. Take me to the top of the sky . . . and let me look down . . . the long mile down. When will the darkness end? Hang on, dont let go! Just hang on and dont let go! Come on, come on gotta take a ride, Fear City slide. Last chance @ suicide. Come on, come on leave your head outside, youve lived a lie. Last chance @ suicide. Come on, come on lets take a ride! Last chance @ suicide. |

Is there some other way out of here?
Somewhere I could find myself? Cant sleep enough, cant stay high. All the promises . . . just another lie. Ive always been afraid except . . . in the moments that I loved you. The only time I felt strong was when you stood next to me. I could make a stand if . . . I could hold your hand again . . . The road Ive traveled is the hard way down, always playing another mans fool. They offered a way inside with the promise of forgiveness. Its a lie. Could you forgive what Ive done? We had it all, but couldnt see anything. The blind leading the blind through the darkest night. When you said you loved me it made me feel alive. When you said you loved me it made me feel . . . like I could fly. Ive always lived afraid except . . . in the moments that I loved you. The only time I felt strong was when you stood next to me. I could make a stand if . . . I could hold your hand again. We had it all, but couldnt see anything. The blind leading the blind through the darkest of nights. When you said you loved me it made me feel alive. When you said you loved me it made me feel . . . like I could fly. Ive always been afraid except in the moments that I loved you. ( nobody knows this is the end of the story or is it a open end ) |
