I don’t know what to believe in
I don’t know who to trust
I don’t know if I should go left or right
Cause both paths are in the dark
Fear adds fuel to the fire
And the news sparks the flame
Telling us that we should go black or blue
But all three have room to change
I don’t claim to have all the answers
But just listen to me right now
We should start to look after each other
Or else we will all die alone
Put aside all the differences they laid out
To tear us all apart
Then just maybe we will live in a better world
I don’t know what to believe in
I don’t know who to trust
I don’t know which divine power to choose
‘Cause not all of them are right
Saying who is accepted
Saying who you should love
And they want to have more say in our laws
Yet they don’t want to pay the toll
I don’t claim to have all the answers
But just listen to me right now
We should start to look after each other
Or else we will all die alone
Put aside all the differences they laid out
To tear us all apart
Then just maybe we will live in a better world
We take we take and give back nothing x4
I don’t what to believe in
I don’t know who to trust
Should I spill my blood to fill up my car
Cause that’s why we go to war
There’s so much we don’t
There’s so much left un-seen
Yet we wondering why they put up a fight
‘Cause we are the ones to blame
I don’t claim to have all the answers
But just listen to me right now
We should start to look after each other
Or else we will all die alone
Put aside all the differences they laid out
To tear us all apart
Then just maybe we will live in a better world
I don’t know what to believe in
I don’t know who to trust
I don’t know which way to keep on movin’
‘Cause everyone is in the dark

Hypnotized

You don’t know what you do
You don’t know what you’re doing to me
Your beauty fills up the room
With a sense of ecstasy
Your lips, your voice and all your curves
The way you move to the beat
It stimulate all my nerves
But I don’t know if I can handle the heat
So My body freezes up in place
I’m speechless and I’m lost in time
And it’s crazy that you’re unaware
Unaware that I’m
Hypnotized by your eyes
That see right through me
Scared that your hair
Will be the last thing I see
Before I am
Blinded by reality
But I know that you’re too good for me
Tú no sabes lo que haces
Tú no sabes lo que estás haciendo a mí
Estoy hablando otros idiomas
que no son familiares para mí
Then my body freezes up in place
I’m speechless and I’m lost in time
It’s crazy that you’re unaware
Unaware that I’m
Hypnotized by your eyes
That see right through me
Scared that your hair
Will be the last thing I see
Before I am
Blinded by reality
But I know that you’re too good for me
And it’s crazy that you’re unaware
Unaware that I’m
Hypnotized by your eyes
That see right through me
Scared that your hair
Will be the last thing I see
Before I am
Blinded by reality
But I know that you’re too good for me

Hey girl
I can’t get past your beauty
You look like someone right out of a movie
And I would like to meet you girl
But maybe
There could be more to this story
Than just “what ifs”, no it won’t be
Cause I want to know you girl
Hey Girl
I want to see the things that make you human
When your days are dark and gloomy
So you know I’ll be there girl
I want to
Be there for you when you’re crying
Cuz there’s just no denying
I want to care for that girl
It seems easy to pretend
To see your face again
But It’s not, it’s not
So when you cannot sleep at night
I’ll hold oh so tight
Good-night, good-night
I wanna know more about
You, and if there could be more for
Us, So I don’t leave behind
Another regret in the back of my mind.
I could potentially fall for
You and see what fate has planned for
Us and I’m no longer blind
‘Cause you could be the one I’m supposed to find.
Hey girl
I wanna be there when you wake up
With your bed head and no make-up
Yeah I want to see that girl
You know
I’d be willing to go where you go
From Miami to San Francisco
Yeah you can count on me to be there girl
And if we have some ups and downs
We’re no kings and queens with crowns
So what, so what
And friends would ask if it’s okay
And worth it, we will say
It was, it was
I wanna know more about
You, and if there could be more for
Us, So I don’t leave behind
Another regret in the back of my mind.
I could potentially fall for
You and see what fate has planned for
Us and I’m no longer blind
‘Cause you could be the one I’m supposed to find.
It’s easy to say
we could go our own separate ways
In time this could work
We can go at our own pace
We don’t need to rush this
Or else we’ll crumble as we stand
So let’s take it slow and grab my hand
I wanna know more about
You, and if there could be more for
Us, So I don’t leave behind
Another regret in the back of my mind.
I could potentially fall for
You and see what fate has planned for
Us and I’m no longer blind
‘Cause you could be the one I’m supposed to find.
Hey girl
I can’t get past your beauty
You look like someone right of a movie
And I would like to meet you girl

Safeguard

I am the one to lift you up when you are down
I’ve picked the pieces up from your broken crown
I’ve talked you off the ledge more often than not
I’ve always kept you out of the dark
But you’ve kept me at bay for all of these years
Even when I got you to smile through the tears
Those tears were from everyone other than me
I’ll always mend your broken heart
Yeah I can be your safeguard
And become your fire
Your burning red desire
No longer a shadow
Waiting for us
It can be you and me
No longer alone
The wait is over let me stand by your thrown
You’re chasing separate people you think are one
You lost them both right from the fire of the gun
I know I only fit one half of that dream
But if you don’t want me in this form
You don’t deserve me if I reform
I won’t be your fire
Your burning red desire
No longer a shadow
I’ll cast my own
It could have been you and me
Versus alone
I could have been the one to stand by your thrown
Instead you’ll be in solitude at your thrown
And I will not wait
For you to wake up
When I move on
And you realize that I was there all along
To become your fire
Your burning red desire
No longer a shadow
I’ve made my own
It would be you and me
But now you’re alone
I could have been the one to stand by your thrown
Instead you’ll be in solitude all alone
You had the chance to let me stand by your thrown

Cutting The Chains
04:52

On the other side
I have realized that you’ve gone
But I know I tried
And eventually I caught on
Plus I should have known
This is how we became good friends
Talking on the phone
Tensions rising high in the end
Rejected promises are all that’s left
On the other side
Now I realize all the pain
All the tears I cried
All our memories down the drain
Now I wonder why
Why it had to end the same way
Now my eyes are dry
Finally I see past your game
Lonely holidays are all I have
Empty reasons are why you left
Maybe I loved you too much
Maybe I was too far to touch
Maybe I was just for show
But I wanted you to know
Every single word I said
Every single path I led
Had a purpose with you here
Now they have disappeared
I could not have been more wrong
Thinking we would last so long
On the other side
I see it wasn’t meant to be
Was it in your pride
To know I would tear from the seam
Cutting all the chains
I can finally be at ease
I cannot complain
I can finally feel the breeze
Now I can move on with all I have
I will not let you get in my head
Maybe I loved you too much
Maybe I was too far to touch
Maybe I was just for show
But I wanted you to know
Every single word I said
Every single path I led
Had a purpose with you here
Now they have disappeared
I could not have been more wrong
Thinking we would last so long x2

Black Mamba
05:45

From a distance you’re as pure as the blue sky
I wanna be your charmer and the apple of your eye
As you slither through trees and branches alike
I saw your tricks before you went to strike
Black Mamba, ooh Black Mamba
I almost fell under your toxic spell
But every now again my mind tends to dwell
On the thought of your unbreakable charm
Almost enough to bear my arms
Black Mamba, ooh Black Mamba
I want to feel your lips before the bite
Then dance with the devil in the pale mooonlight
I wanna feel your venom through my veins
Since there is no pleasure without the pain
Your deception leaves me in despair
The more I crave the less I care
But I’m not your prey. I don’t need that trauma
I’ll try to keep a distance from you, oh black mamba.
Oh black mamba, oh black mamba, of black mamba
Now I know it’s not worth taking the chance
But catch myself taking a second glance
Your hiss always rings in the back of my head
But it’s better to wonder than it is to be dead
Black Mamba, ooh Black Mamba
I others who have fallen before
That’s why I don’t come back to ask for more
A friend of mine once became your slave
Now he’s nothing more than a walking grave
Black Mamba, ooh Black Mamba
I want to feel your lips before the bite
Then dance with the devil in the pale mooonlight
I wanna feel your venom run through my veins
Since there is no pleasure without the pain
Your deception leaves me in despair
The more I crave the less I care
But I’m not your prey. I don’t need that trauma
I’ll try to keep a distance from you, oh black mamba.
Oh black mamba, oh black mamba, of black mamba
I want to feel your lips before the bite
Then dance with the devil in the pale mooonlight
I wanna feel your venom run through my veins
Since there is no pleasure without the pain
Your deception leaves me in despair
The more I crave the less I care
But I’m not your prey. I don’t need that trauma
I’ll try to keep a distance from you, oh black mamba.
Oh black mamba, oh black mamba, of black mamba

One and Only
03:58

With every song I’ve had someone on my mind
Thinking they were the one I’m supposed to find
But now they’re just songs for everyone’s pleasure
Bringing me further to someone I could treasure
This only proves how fast I fall
When it’s not worth it at all
But knowing only that my heart
Was deceiving from the start
When logics never failed me yet
My foolish ways I won’t forget
I cannot make that same mistake
‘Cause all that’s left is heartbreak
So am I bound to live
This life alone
Do I not deserve
To call someone my own
Can someone out there hear me?
‘Cause I am ready for
My one and only
To walk in through that door.
On top of that, society’s not on my side
When will things change with a rising tide?
From magazines to TV shows
I see the negativity everywhere I go
They say “Look like this” and “Talk like that”
Or you’ll be dissed in the aftermath
Others say “What’s important is on the inside”
Yeah, That’s gotten me further from the ride
Should I learn how to play along
Forget the feelings in my songs
Or would that be a mistake
Leading to more heartbreak
So am I bound to live
This life alone
Do I not deserve
To call someone my own
Can someone out there hear me?
‘Cause I am ready for
My one and only
To walk in through that door.
So much for all those other songs
I’m concluding I was in the wrong
I’ve learned from all of my mistakes
Goodbye to all my heartbreak
So am I bound to live
This life alone
Do I not deserve
To call someone my own
Can someone out there hear me?
‘Cause I am ready for
My one and only
To walk in through that door.

Edge of Oblivion
04:28

At the edge of oblivion
In the heart of the unknown
I cannot shake the feeling
That I’m out here on my own
Everything is in chaos
It feels like there’s no hope
I can’t help but feel so lost
Cause I’m so far from home
When the darkness closes in
And the pain just doesn’t end
I need you here
When I start to fall down
And can’t get off the ground
I need you here
Yeah I need you here
At the edge of oblivion
In the dark, dark, shadows
I can feel you here with me
Almost like you’re a ghost
And I feel your loving arms
They hold me in so tight
I know I’m safe from harm
And everything is alright
When the darkness closes in
And the pain just doesn’t end
I need you here
When I start to fall down
And can’t get off the ground
I need you here
Yeah I need you here
Though the storm rages on
You show me that dawn
Is just on the horizon
When I’m floating astray
You show me the way
And bring me back to you
When the darkness closes in
And the pain just doesn’t end
I need you here
When I start to fall down
And can’t get off the ground
I need you here
Yeah I need you here
At the edge of oblivion
In the heart of the unknown
I feel you beside me
And I don’t feel so alone.

The World of You and Me
03:41

Let’s escape for a little while
Where all I can see is your beautiful smile
We’ll dance under the moon in our own little world
And it won’t take long to really see
That in this little world it’s just you and me
And I couldn’t be happier with any other girl
And I wouldn’t leave without you
So let’s close our eyes and
Pretend that we are
A million miles away
And let’s pretends that we’re driving
Into the sunset
A million miles away
Cause’ there’s a whole lot of things to see
In the world of you and me
Let’s escape for a little while
Where nothing we do can cramp our style
We’ll lie under the stars in our own little world
We can always laugh but never have to cry
We’ll never ever have to say goodbye
Cause I wouldn’t be happier with any other girl
And I wouldn’t leave without you
So let’s close our eyes and
Pretend that we are
A million miles away
And let’s pretends that we’re driving
Into the sunset
A million miles away
Cause’ there’s a whole lot of things to see
In the world of you and me
And when it’s all said and done
I’ll breathe out my final breath
I’ll close my eyes
And wait in our world for you to come back again
So let’s close our eyes and
Pretend that we are
A million miles away
And let’s pretends that we’re driving
Into the sunset
A million miles away
Cause’ there’s a whole lot of things to see
In the world of you and me

Be Careful Now
06:57
|
|||
|
A silhouette and a broken heart
Towers rise then they fall apart in time
When they're past their prime
Curtains close on your humble stage
Pass the torch to put out the flame for now
And take a bow
Can you hear the applause for you
From all your friends and family on cue
Empty chair, television on
Conclusions could have been overdrawn who knows
But it was time to go
Reaching out for the brighter light
Seeing more than the black and white we made
They seem to fade
Did you feel lifted off your feet
And gravity was only a bad dream
Did the pictures of your great grand son
Comfort you when your final breath was done
What about now
Some of us didn't get to say goodbye
But it's over now
Don't worry about us we’ll be just fine
So Be careful now
We will see you when it's our time to fly
Watch your head when you pass the clouds
After ascending from this broken crowded town
And don't look down
You'll be missed by a thousand souls
With every bond you made you stole their hearts
Right from the start
Did you and your love reunite
After all seven years when he took flight
Did your brother and sister meet you there
With your mom and dad and the man upstairs
What about now
Some of us didn't get to say goodbye
But it's over now
Don't worry about us we’ll be just fine
So Be careful now
We will see you when it's our time to fly
Will you be watching over me
When my life has gone slightly out of key
Could I look up and talk to you
When things are looking down become blue
What about now
Some of us didn't get to say goodbye
But it's over now
Don't worry about us we’ll be just fine
So Be careful now
We will see you when it's our time to fly
Be careful now
