FEEL
And I feel / I feel so alive again / Yeah, oh I feel / I feel so alive again / I used to be a ghost / Floating aimlessly / So they couldnt see / What I think hurts the most / I felt like it made me, hate me / But I wont apologize for being different / I can be who I am, and yeah / I felt so dead inside / But now I feel so alive, for the first time / Is there somewhere I could go? / Oh, I would go there / Take me anywhere / Cuz this person I dont know / The one thats staring back at me / Its not who I wanna be / But I wont apologize / For being different / I can, can be who I am / While they cover up the dead inside / I feel so alive, for the first time / Could you help me find / Could you help me find a way? / Could you help me find / Help me find a way / Youll never bring me down / Youll never tear me apart / I am alive / I am alive again

HERE WE GO
So here we go / You got one more chance to make it / Better not lose control, before everyone forgets your name / This will always be mine / So much more than just a dream to me / I will never be fine, with letting you ruin everything / I will never fucking follow your lead / Give up on you, so you can take it out on me / Im sorry that you had to watch your life come tumbling down / Now its my time and Im ready to go / Here we go, we got one more chance to make it / Better not lose control / Before everyone forgets your name / Youve always been the one to criticize me, because Im not like you, you see / The way youve been living your life / Theres nothing there worth holding onto / I will never fucking understand the hate you have for me / I only have one shot at this / The past is past, move on to better things / Now is my time and Im ready to go / This is your time, you better take it / You better never let it go / This is your time, you better make it / It could be gone before you know / So here we go, you got one more chance to make it / You better think before / You go and throw it all away!

I wrote this song for my father / Sometimes I feel he never gave a damn about me / Though he raised me like he should / Did he understand me? No, no, I dont think so / I wrote this song for my mother / She had to leave me, when I was younger / She said son, seek this life, and keep an open mind / But in my minds eye / I am free now / Free to live without my fears / I believe now / Theres a reason why Im here / Its to try and do good / Its to try and do better / Who will I be for my daughter? / This little baby, she means the world to me / Will I relive their mistakes? / Or do things the right way / For her sake / Can I be a man? / One that understands / How to love more patiently / Ill be free now / Ill be free now / And we dream of the day, when our kids can play / In the streets with no fear of them being taken away / Fathers raise their sons with respect and love / Handle anger and pain with no need for no guns / If we hope to be free it takes you and me / To start over here and now / Cause this world is, the way it is, its how we raise our kids / I wrote this song for my mother, wrote this song for our father / So hopefully we can come together / And hopefully make things a little better

ALONE
Could you check my pulse for me / To see if Im alive / Cuz every time that I am near you / Is the only time I feel alright / If there were any way / I could think to turn back time / Id stay here with you / Sometimes I sit and wonder / Sometimes I feel like letting go / All I know is no one should have to be alone / I dont want to be alone / I dont want to die alone / I could fall apart here and now / I dont want to die alone / I want to be with you, you, you / I only want to be with you , you, you / Tell me whats the point of life / Is it material? / Had everything I could ever want and probably more / When I lay in bed at night / All I do is think of you / So when all this is gone what do I have to come home to? / This life goes by so fast / Pretty soon Ill grow old / What would I have but some stories now that I have told / No one to share them with / And when its all done / What am I left with? / Tell me whats left / Leave me? / How the fuck you gonna leave me? / When Im the one thats on TV / With these girls screaming / Outside with my CD / And Im begging? / Naw baby, youre the one that cant keep me / Leave me? / Girl, how the fuck you gonna leave me? / You know I love you, when we fight and we argue / I kiss and I hug you / You push me back, you say that Im trouble / And every Bonnie got a Clyde with her / Every woman needs somebody thats gonna ride with her / And I cant go on staying alive if Im alone / Pick up the phone and say hello / Id rather die with her / Now my nights so cold / When your heart is frozen / Mines exposed you know this / Try to blame the fame for the way Ive changed / And you know those claims are bogus / Baby its not me, its us / Maybe now all we need is trust / Maybe this Hennessey will solve our problems / Baby pick it up / Could you check my pulse for me / To see if Im alive

ILL TAKE YOU THERE

Even if theres nowhere left to go / Ill take you there, Ill take you there / And if it ever feels like there is nowhere left to turn / Ill take you there / Always be there / Please take me there / Ive watched myself struggle with this fear of falling down / Cuz Ive seen a silhouette of me who is this stranger Ive become / Who is this man that Ive become? / Even if theres nowhere left to go / Ill take you there / Ill take you there / And if it ever feels like there is nowhere left to turn / Ill take you there / Always be there / Please take me there / I lost myself / I questioned if I had the strength to move / Cuz I get up and then I fall back down / I look up and theres nobody around / Its quiet and I hate the sound / So quiet and I hate the sound / How could I let myself come to this? / Ill take one more drink and then Ill be dismissed / Im left to walk this world alone / I like it better on my own / For all the things Ive done / Who is this man that Ive become?

THE BEST THERE EVER WAS

SATELLITES
The frame / The friction / Its the reason that we all become aware / And we change / For no reason / Some say its better to fall asleep and disappear / Its time we finally look at what weve done / And wake up / So here we are / Were waiting for a fall / And on the radio theyre calling on satellites / Like theyre going to save us all / So here we are / I guess Im praying after all / Were calling all, calling all satellites / This is a wake up call / A call for freedom / Is that the reason that we are alive? / And we waste, we waste our lives on the wasted / Until theres nothing for us left to justify / Oh, I dont get it / Change / No reason / Some say its better to fall asleep and disappear / Its time we finally open up our eyes / 432...
