Dead Letters
First Day Of My Life
I feel like I'm stoned
I wanna be alone, just for a while, unknown
Weeks on the road a long way from home
Just shut off the phone
And you say I'll heal you
I'll always be yours
And you say I'll kill you
If I do something wrong
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Still feels like the first time
To stand here by your side
Together regardless
We'll walk through the darkness
Still feels like the first day of my life
Remember the times
Together we swore to never give up this life
Still hanging on, still going strong
Here I belong
And maybe I'm crazy
But I just can't slow down
And maybe I'm crazy
But at least I'm still around
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Still feels like the first time
To stand here by your side
Together regardless
We'll walk through the darkness
Still feels like the first day of my life
Feels like the first day of my life
Feels like the first day
Still feels like the first day of my life
Still feels like the first time
To stand here by your side
Together regardless
We'll walk through the darkness
Still feels like the first day of my
Still feels like the first day of my
Still feels like the first day of my life
In The Shadows
Oou-oou oou-oou
Oou-oou oou-oou
No sleep
No sleep until I'm done with finding the answer
Won't stop, won't stop before
I find a cure for this cancer
Sometimes I feel like going down
I'm so disconnected
Somehow I know that I'm hunted to be wanted
I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life
Oou-oou oou-oou in the shadows
Oou-oou oou-oou in the shadows
They say, that I must learn
To kill before I can feel safe
But I, I'd rather kill myself
Than turn into their slave
Sometimes, I feel that I should go
And play with the thunder
Somehow, I just don't wanna stay
And wait for a wonder
I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life
Lately, I've been walking,
Walking in circles
Watching, waiting for something
Feel me, touch me, heal me
Come take me higher
I've been watching, I've been waiting
In the shadows for my time
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows all my life
I've been watching, I've been waiting,
I've been searching, I've been living
For tomorrows
Oou-oou oou-oou in the shadows
Oou-oou oou-oou in the shadows
I've been waiting
Still Standing
I wish you were here tonight
With me to see the northern lights
I wish you were here tonight with me
I wish I could have you by my side
Tonight when the sky is burning
I wish I could have you by my side
Cause I've been down and I've been crawling
Won't back down no more
Can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies
Down on me, I'm still standing
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
Conscience clear, I'm still standing here
Burns like a thousand stars
Though you're light years away
Burns like a thousand stars or more
You're up there, you're always with me
Smiling down on me
Can't you stop the lies, falling from the skies
Down on me, I'm still standing
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
Conscience clear I'm still standing here
It’s something scared, something so beautiful
Something quiet to ease my mind
When the pressure's taking me over and over
Cause I've been down and I've been crawling
Pushed around and always falling
You're up there, you're always with me
Smiling down on me
Can't you stop the lies falling from the skies
Down on me, I'm still standing
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
Conscience clear I'm still standing here
Can't you stop the lies falling from the skies
Down on me, I'm still standing
Can't you roll the dice, I might be surprised
Conscience clear I'm still standing here
In My Life
Feel the heat below my feet
I have to go, no time to sleep
Can't believe the things you say
I turn my head and walk away
You make me sick - you make me nervous
Times are gone when you would say
This is the one and seize the day
Times are gone for honesty
"My victory is your defeat"
Oh can't you see you've been mistaken
In my life, I decide and it turns me on
How I am, how I live, who I love, yeah
In my way I feel strong and it turns me on
In my life, I decide, I decide
I decide, I decide
All you do, you can't deny it,
It's waste of time, waste of life
Can I suggest that you invest
In something more than hopelessness
Before you know the ride is over
In my life, I decide and it turns me on
How I am, how I live, who I love, yeah
In my way I feel strong and it turns me on
In my life, I decide, I decide
It's up to you if you give it up
It's up to you if we won't stop
It's up to you if you give it up
It's up to you if we won't stop
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you if we won't stop
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you
It's up to you
The record shows that you're dead
But you're still living
Every time you have died you have been given
Another chance to fix your bad attitude
And make a movie, it's up to you
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you if you give it up, give it up
It's up to you
It's up to you
You...
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Time To Burn
Common!
Fear of the dark tears me apart
Wont't leave me alone and time keeps running out
Just one more life,
I'm so sick and tired
Of singing the blues,
I should turn my life around
Common! Common!
Tell me why do I feel this way
All my life
I've been standing on the borderline
Too many bridges burn
Too many lies I've heard
I had a life but I can't go back
I can't do that,
It will never be the same again
And I know I don't have
Any time to burn
Common!
They follow me home, disturbing my sleep
But I'll find a place,
Place where they cannot find me
Maybe I'm lost, and maybe I'm scared
But too many times
I've closed the doors behind me
Tell me why do I feel this way
All my life
I've been standing on the borderline
Too many bridges burn
Too many lies I've heard
I had a life but I can't go back
I can't do that,
It will never be the same again
And I know I don't have
Any time to burn
Leave it all behind
Cross the borderline
Face the truth, don't have any time to...
Have any time to burn
Tell me why do I feel this way
All my life
I've been standing on the borderline
Too many bridges burn
Too many lies I've heard
I had a life but I can't go back
I can't do that,
It will never be the same again
And I know I don't have
Any time to burn
Fire!
Tell me why do I feel this way
All my life
I've been standing on the borderline
Too many bridges burn
Too many lies I've heard (Fire!)
I had a life but I can't go back
I can't do that,
It will never be the same again
And I know I don't have
Any time to...
Have any time to burn
Common!
Guilty
Ou-ou-ou yeah-yeah-yeah
I feel guilty
My words are empty
No signs to give you
I don't have the time for you
You say I'm heartless
And you say I don't care
I used to be there for you
And you've said I seem so dead,
That I have changed
But so have you
Guilty ou-ou-ou, guilty I feel so
Empty yeah-yeah-yeah,
Empty you know how to make me feel
I put a shield upon you
I didn't mean to hurt you
I would have poisoned your mind
Never meant to make you cry
You've been so thoughtless
I can see right through you
You used to be there for me
So don't you leave say goodbye
Cause you have changed but so have I
Guilty ou-ou-ou, guilty I feel so
Empty yeah-yeah-yeah,
Empty you know how to make me feel
I never though
That the time and the distance
Between us made you so much colder
I'll carry the world on my shoulders
Guilty ou-ou-ou, guilty yeah-yeah-yeah guilty
Guilty ou-ou-ou, empty yeah-yeah-yeah
Guilty ou-ou-ou, guilty
I feel so empty yeah-yeah-yeah empty
You know how to make me feel
Guilty ou-ou-ou, empty yeah-yeah-yeah
You know how to make me feel
Guilty ou-ou-ou so guilty
Empty ou-ou-ou so empty
You know how to make me feel
Not Like The Other Girls
No more blame I am destined to keep you sane
Gotta rescue the flame
Gotta rescue the flame in your heart
No more blood,
I will be there for you my love
I will stand by your side
The world has forsaken my girl
I should have seen it would be this way
I should have known
From the start what she's up to
When you loved and you've lost someone
You know what it feels like to lose
She's fading away
Away from this world
Drifting like a feather
She's not like the other girls
She lives in the clouds
And talks to the birds
Hopeless little one
She's not like the other girls I know
No more shame,
She has felt too much pain, in her life
In her mind she's repeating the words
All the love you put out will return to you
I should have seen it would be this way
I should have known
From the start what she's up to
When you loved and you've lost someone close to you
You know what it feels like to lose
(know what it feels like to lose)
She's fading away
Away from this world
Drifting like a feather
She's not like the other girls
She lives in the clouds
And talks to the birds
Hopeless little one
She's not like the other girls I know
She's fading away
Away from this world
Drifting like a feather
She's not like the other girls
She lives in the clouds
And talks to the birds
Hopeless little one
She's not like the other girls I know
The One I Love
Haven't slept in a week
My bed has become my coffin
Cannot breath, cannot speak
My head's like a bomb, still waiting
Take my heart and take my soul
I don't need them anymore
The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
The one I love
Drowning me in my dreams
The one I love
Over and over again
Dragging me under
Hypnotized by the night
Silently rising beside me
Emptiness, nothingness
Is burning a hole inside me
Take my faith and take my pride
I don't need them anymore
The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
The one I love
Drowning me in my dreams
The one I love
Over and over again
Dragging me under
This bed has become my chapel of stone
A garden of darkness to where I'm thrown
So take my life, I don't need it anymore
The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
The one I love
Drowning me in my dreams
The one I love
Over and over again
Dragging me under
The one I love
Is striking me down on my knees
Striking me down
Drowning me in my dreams
Down on my knees
Over and over again
Striking me down
Over and over and over and over again...
Back In The Picture
There were times in my life
I was down on my knees, now it's over
Deep inside my heart I know
Simply put I've been stabbed
In the back ever since I remember
Deep inside it hurt to let go
Hou-ou-ou
Back in the picture
Back in the picture
Wonder what took so long, so long
Back in the picture
Back in the picture
Wonder what took so long, so long
Dedicate everything I create
To my friends I would die for
But you will always be the one
Memories that you can't overrun,
Memories I could cry for
I thought I'd always be on the run
Hou-ou-oua

Funeral Song
I dumped you again
I don't understand
It's happened before
Can't take it no more
These foolish games
Always end up in confusion
I'll take you back
Just to leave you once again
I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire
I've failed you again
'Cause I let you stay
I used to pretend
That I felt OK.
Just one big lie
Such a perfect illusion
I made you mine
Just to hurt you once again
I died in my dreams
What's that supposed to mean?
Got lost in the fire
I died in my dreams
Reaching out for your hand
My fatal desire
Oo-uo
