Daylight 02:41
You think you've got a knife Twisted in your back But I think You've got a chip on your shoulder You've got a lot of nerve To think that I would crack Then you blink And you're another day older Well, That's what made you call Another night of alcohol Daylight is the cruelest light of all Wipe off that little smile, It's a bootleg I am told But the joke Is that it just isn't funny Last night I was so in style Now I'm just too old Up in smoke Just like all of my money Well, That's what made you call Another night of alcohol Daylight is the cruelest light of all Well, That's what made you call Loneliness and alcohol Daylight is the cruelest light of all Well I'm pukin' in a stall Cigarette butts and alcohol Daylight is the cruelest light of all Daylight is the cruelest light (x3) Whoa, Daylight is the cruelest light of all!

I Surrender 02:30
I surrender, I give in Illusion or a crutch? Never ending love to win Intimacy Honesty Tenderness and trust Why give protection? Why do you always give into feels of rejection? I surrender, I give in Illusion or a crutch? Never ending love to win Intimacy (I want it) Honesty (I got it) Tenderness and trust Unveil Reveal What do you gain from always hiding what you feel? It takes time It takes patience And remember to bring out imagination I surrender, I give in Illusion or a crutch? Never ending love to win Intimacy (I want it) Honesty (I got it) Tenderness and I surrender, I give in Illusion or a crutch? Never ending love to win I surrender, I give in Intimacy (I want it) Honesty (I got it) Tenderness and trust Intimacy (I want it) Honesty (I got it) Tenderness and trust Intimacy (I want it) Honesty (I got it) Tenderness and trust

You better run You better hide Before you know it's too late You better run To see the sun Before you know it's not safe I'm always runnin' and I'm talkin 'bout the government I told you before, it's just my discontent You better run You better hide Before you know it's too late These expressions that I keep inside Always seem too much Crazy feelings that I can't explain You better watch out, honey 'Cause you're pushing your luck You're gonna scream You're gonna shout But you'll be gettin' nowhere You better run You better hide But then nobody will care You're always running but you're never getting anywhere I told you before, I've got a disconnect You better run You better hide Before you know it's too late These expressions that I keep inside Always seem too much Crazy feelings that I can't explain You better watch out, honey 'Cause you're pushing your luck Let me tell you Crazy feelings that I keep inside Always (x2) Well, you know I've heard it all before Now baby Now it's your turn to Call It's always too late (you better run, you better hide) And you're pushing your luck (you better run, you better hide) It's always too late (you better run, you better hide) to be pushing your luck (you better run, you better hide) (x3)

Well all you ever wanted was to hang on a cross, yeah To be famous as a martyr for a long lost cause, yeah And every day you don't die, your legend keeps growing About a somebody so beat you wonder how they keep going, yeah! Your knees are threadbare and your ass is showin' And when you last slept in a bed, there's no knowin' You're eating garbage Your complexion is spotty Your once chiseled physique now hangs over your body The barrel is empty You're scraping the bottom The things that I'm lookin' for Nobody's got 'em Here comes a face from your past Don't pretend you don't see me If I ever get lucky and score, you'll wanna be me Master of ceremonies strikes up the band, yeah (If I ever get lucky and score, you'll wanna be me) He stubs a cigarette out on the back of his hand, yeah (If I ever get lucky and score, you'll wanna be me) The marching band of chaos beats a hole right through its drums (If I ever get lucky and score, you'll wanna be me) And rats that got no teeth fell under traps with flapping gums (If I ever get lucky and score, you'll wanna be me) They say that I'm a sucker 'cause I waited for you But I ain't givin' up because I know you'll come through It makes me feel like an island Like a one man gang Goin' down like a punk with your cap gun bang The barrel is empty The bottom is dry The things that I'm lookin' for You can't even buy Here comes a face from your past Don't pretend you don't see me If I ever get lucky and score, you'll wanna be me

You never got it off on that revolution stuff But me, I took that ride 'Cause something's got to change, It won't be me, Believe I've tried It's a series of being on the verge Almost And barely missed And every night I dream it gives the knife another twist Na na na na-na na na na Na-na na na No Every night I dream it gives the knife another twist If you can make it through the morning Then you can make it through the day You can make it through the week, the month How many years this way? You work and save And spend and slave Your lifetime comes up bust And every night I dream it gives the knife another thrust The first time that I saw you I was paralyzed Standing right in front of me My dreams materialized The dream that gave you hope deceives And lulls you down content You wake up from your lifetime wondering where your lifetime went Na na na na-na na na na Na-na na na No You wake up from your lifetime wondering where your lifetime went You have to numb your senses To preserve your sanity You have to dull your mind To give your heart some room to breathe It's a series of denials, shut-downs, Turn-offs, and delays The rat escapes the treadmill free to run loose in the maze You never got it off on that revolution stuff But me, I can't resist And every night I dream it gives the knife another twist Every night I dream it gives the knife another twist (x3)

So what's the point To live a life I cannot lie without you by my side? It's nothing new I can't compare That's what it's like without you being there It's in a dream Lavender-blue Or it's an academy of what to do Another world I won't confuse Am I playing my life or living the fool? When I look back (should have settled down) I should have settled down When I look back (lost what I had found) I thought I lost what I had found But I can't reach you I can't reach you Everything's in disarray I can't reach you I can't reach you Always so much more to say I can't hold you I can't touch you Always something in the way I can't reach you I can't reach you I can't reach you can't you see? Just close the door It's time to fly Or will I die with all this on my mind? It's something new I can compare Just what it's like when you are always there It's not what I know It's not how I feel It's not how I think And it's not what I see You can't live life Within a dream Even when it's touched it's like reality When I look back (should have settled down) I should have settled down When I look back (lost what I had found) I thought I lost what I had found But I can't reach you I can't reach you Everything's in disarray I can't reach you I can't reach you Always so much more to say I can't hold you I can't touch you Always something in the way I can't reach you I can't reach you I can't reach you can't you see? Close the door Close the door Close the door (x3) But I can't reach you I can't reach you Everything's in disarray I can't reach you I can't reach you Always so much more to say I can't hold you I can't touch you Always something in the way I can't reach you I can't reach you I can't reach you can't you see? I can't reach you can't you see? (x3)
