ALIVE

Well there's no reason for you to keep a foul tone
Because you can't blame a hard case for not knowing what he don't know
And the word from a good friend isn't always set in stone
You had to learn the hard way but you know that you should've known
Don't you be afraid to go inside
There's a place within for you to find
And there's no way that the wear don't take a toll
You were headed for a breakdown so you had to roll
And if you knew the fable do you think that you would've gone?
Tell me what you feel now when you're all alone
Don't you be afraid to go inside
You believe in me/you, you will come...alive
Don't you be afraid to go inside
You will see me on the other side...alive

ALL FOR ONE

Once in a while, it comes down to indecision, or a vision, or lack there of
Untangle your mind and put aside foolish inhibitions
Then we can ride all night
One for all and all for one
Stay together for what may come
And if it comes to you and me, we stand as one
Now it's all on the line

Rise

From time to time you find out what you're really made of, or the make up of who you are
Don't wait for your saviors or pray for any favors
Let's get it started
One for all and all for one
Stay together for what may come
And if it comes to you and me, we stand as one
Now it's all on the line

Rise

Sweet little sister in a hard situation
Trying to find her way in the world
You got a pretty nice smile but a bad reputation
You don't have to hide it, but you really should
There were lines on the table
And bodies on the floor
And she was back for more
She was certified wild when she was born
Fooled by the lie by a silver-tongued woman
But I wouldn't walk away if I could
You got a dirty little secret but a good vibration
You shouldn't have to fight it if it makes you feel good
They would hang from the ceiling
And climb on the wall
And she was back for more
She was certified wild when she was born

There's a man on the roadside
Standing on a picket line
Stomping on the pavement
Screaming 'bout the government
A boy from the East Side
Dreams about the big time
Working for a paycheck
Reading Jack Kerouac
And it's hard when you're an angel in this city
When you're out on the front line trying to stay alive, but maybe
Maybe we're better off dead
A girl in a red dress
She's got long hair that's a mess
She was 18 and naive
Now she's got a kid to feed
And she wants to find a knew way
But the color of her dress starts to feel like gray
And she fades away
And it's hard when you're an angel in this city
When you're out on the front line trying to stay alive, but maybe
Maybe we're better off dead
Sometimes I feel like I'm on a carousel
And I feel like hell
It goes on and on and round and round
And sometimes I feel alone

The paint on the house has faded to brown
All the horses gone wild since the barn burned to the ground
And while some of our dreams may never come around
You still look like an angel when you wear that blue gown
Confetti still blows on South Street
Where we heard the famous toast
The words of which I don't recall
Or what we drank to the most
But we'll pull up the stakes
And roll up the lines
We can make our break, so let it all ride
Take what you want and leave the rest aside
It's all we can take on this carnival ride
There's a pain that I try to hide
But I know it so well
To feel you cold by my side
And secrets that I can't tell
All the while we play along
And the time keeps rolling on
For miles and for days

Well, you smile like a mother and you're flying on the other
But you look like a vulture, to me
And your face is a mess, but I must confess that sometimes,
I like to watch you bleed
Cause you're giving me your evil eye
Like gasoline poured on a fire
Giving me your evil eye
You hide your condition better than a politician
But you can't see the snakes in the mirror
And you're down at the minute, and I must admit that sometimes,
I like you crawling on the floor
Cause you're giving me your evil eye
Like gasoline poured on a fire
Giving me your evil eye

We said these days would last until the end of time
But memories are left and those days are left behind
And people grow apart, they do what they must do
And that is alright, but I miss you
And you’re leaving
And as you said goodbye,
You turned around and you told me...
I wanna believe in you,
But that is just wasting time, my friend
We’re eye to eye but minds divided
You turned your back on me
You’ve taken all I trusted in
We’re eye to eye but minds divided
We said our love would last until the end of time
But time has flown right past, and it seems that love went blind
I know we had to part, we do what we must do
And that is alright, but I miss you
And she is leaving
And as she waived goodbye,
She turned around and she told me...
I wanna believe in you,
But thatís just wasting time, my friend
Weíre eye to eye but hearts divided
You turned your back on me
Youíve taken all I trusted in
Weíre eye to eye but hearts divided
As I look back on me, it isnít what they said itíd be
Weíre eye to eye but minds divided
And though youíre far from me, youíll always be a part of me
Weíre eye to eye but hearts divided
I wanna believe

It's time
The moment's gone for far too long
I only wanted you to grow
And I've held my tongue, but now my patience is gone
This burden weighs me down
And if you really want to know what I think
You are strong
You are beautiful
You are so wonderful in every way
And when you're gone, darkness falls on a silent midnight
But if the sun can rise, then maybe I can find my way back home
Back home to you
So, I'll try
I'll lay it on the line
And now there's mercury running in my veins
And I'll let you go, and leave a bitter sweet smile behind
But I really do hope that we make it
And if you really want to know how I feel
You are strong
You are beautiful
You are so wonderful in every way
And when you're gone, darkness falls on a silent midnight
But if the sun can rise, then maybe I can find my way back home
Back home to you

Say goodbye, and swallow your tears deep inside
We can bury our hearts for a while, but we'll carry a scar
And in time, we may find that it's for the better
But it tears me apart to watch our love fade away
Lost in my mind, you're the one
And I float on the wind from your tongue
You lift me up to the sun
Or I flow to where rivers run
I'd wait all my years for your love
You disguise, and you hide all your fears in another
But your eyes can't conceal the heart that will always be mine
And in time, if the day comes that you should stumble
I'll swallow my pride, and lift you up to shine again
Goodbye

If you're feeling alright
You can always show me
If you really want it
It won't be wise to disguise your motivation
When you could be satisfied
So tell me your lies or your acts of contrition
But my intention is understood
You got me itchin'
I wanna cook in your kitchen
It's alright if we set this room a light
And I'll give you my lovin'
I'll give you my lovin' again
My head is aching from the bottle that you're shaking
So dance like you want it
I don't mean to fight
I wanna make it right by you
And my conviction is very good
You got me thinkin'
I should confirm my suspicion
It's alright if you lay me down
And I'll give you my lovin'
I'll give you my lovin' again
And the night is just a little bit older
I really need your love
Would you be inclined if I were to show you
I really need your love
