"TRIP AT THE BRAIN"
I gotta gotta take a trip, gotta take a trip out of this place
I gotta gotta get away, get away from the human race
I don't know what I'll see, don't even know what I'll find
I don't know what to pack, never been to a trip at the mind
Trip at the brain. Trip at the brain. Trip at the brain
Do you know what I'm saying?
Trip at the brain. Trip at the brain. Trip at the brain
Well I'm going insane
I took a wrong turn and ended up at my heart
I t could barely even pump no blood it was so thrashed and
torn apart
Thank it for working overtime in pain and misery
Then I set back on the trail, headed for my destiny
Fly with me
Flying free
Tripping
You must be tripping
Trip, trip, tripping
Ya ya ya ya you're tripping
I cannot stop this trip, I forgot to pack the brakes
Crashed straight into a concrete wall of my mistakes
Ended up in a cemetary of a thousand wasted days
But that's alright with me, cause that's where most of my
memories lay
"HEARING VOICES"
I got home kind of late last night
My mind wasn't clear, but I could tell something wasn't right
So silent I could hear my heart pump
But then I heard a sound that made me jump
I tried to get real brave, tried to look around
I tried to find out where came that sound
The re I looked, the less I could see
But the voices keep calling, calling out to me
I hear voices-when I'm all alone
Hearing voices-but there's nobody home
Hear the voices-could it be they're calling out to me
Hearing voices-I look, why can't I see
I hear voices-can't stop those voices
It happened again-the very next day
I still couldn't understand what they were trying to say
Could only get the courage to open up one eye
Couldn't see nothing, but the voices they don't lie
I searched and searched but not a soul I found
Pretty damn sure no one was around
The more I looked the less I could see
Then I realized the voices were calling from me
Are they demons-or are they angels or am I crazy
Now the voices I start to understand
They have to do with the master plan
You think about what you'd do
Cause one day the voices will be calling out to you
The voices I hear now I know are true
They come not from one but they come from two
The real point is what I'm missing
From which voice will I listen
I hear voices
Hearing voices
Do you hear the voices?
Can't stop the voices
"PLEDGE YOUR ALLEGIANCE"
ST ST ST ST ST ST ST ST
I never said I don't like religion-I just don't like TV
You say I got a bad attitude-around you that comes naturally
You say I need more compassion-I can forgive, I just can't
forget
You say control my temper-but when I feel like shit, I feel
like shit
Cause I was born to be-ST
And I'll always be-ST
Don't get down on me-ST
Cause I'm down OG-ST
Not afraid to die-ST
Just you promise me-ST
Yo got to carry on-ST
You gotta carry on-ST
Why can't I ask any questions if what you say is true
Am I supposed to believe everything-or just everything said by
you?
And how can you call me stupid-when you don't understand what
I say
And how can you call me evil-have you spoken to God today-
And what did He say?
As long as your heart beats-pledge your allegiance
You can call me ugly-but I still dress the way I choose
How you gonna judge me-you've never taken a walk in my shoes
Why don't you ever trust me when I'm smiling-is it a sin to
have fun?
And why should I repent when there's nothin' wrong with anyt-
hing that I've done
Pledge your allegiance

"HOW WILL I LAUGH TOMMOROW"
Here I sit and watch my world come crumbling down
I cry for help but no one's around
Silently screaming I bang my head against the wall
It seems like no one cares at all
Always an emotion, but how can I explain
How can I explain
Kind of like the scent of a rose
With words I can't explain
The same with my pain
Caught up in emotion-Goes over my head
Goes over my head
Sometimes I got to think to myself is this life or death
Am I living or am I dead
The clock keeps ticking but nothing else seems to change
Problems never solved, just rearranged
And when I think about all the times that I've had
So few good-So many bad
I search for personality and I look for things I can not see
Love and peace flash through my mind
Pain and hate are all I find
Find no hope in nothing new
Never had a dream come true
Lies and hate and agony
Thru my eyes that's all I see
If I'm gonna cry
Will you wipe away my tears?
If I'm gonna die
Lord please take away my fear
Before I drown in sorrow
Last thing that I'll say
How will I laugh tommorow
If I can't even smile today
Today today--when I can't even smile today
Today today--when I can't even smile today
How will I laugh tommorow--when I can't even smile today
How will I laugh tommorow--when I can't even smile today
"THE MIRACLE"
I sailed forever, I sailed so far, and now I know just what
the
consequences are
I laughed out loudy, while I cried inside
But I didn't haave the strength to say enough of this ride
Like a fool-I believed in a miracle
I wanted to forget, of what I'm not sure
But I found an answer-it seemed to be a perfect cure
Controlled my actions, controlled my thoughts
Controlled my feelings, and now I feel my body rot-like a fool
I believed in the miracle
Twisting and I'm turning-freezing then I'm burning
Laughing then I'm crying-am I living or am I dying
Swearing then I'm praying-don't even know what I'm saying
Happy then so sad-forgiving then so mad
Do you still, do you still believe, do you still believe in,
Do you still believe in miracles?
Pushing then pulling-who am I fooling
A friend then a foe-do I really even know?
Love and then hate
Peace then at war-but what am I fighting for
And you always try to
Keep me-oh so sleepy
So I can't realize-that it's all lies
And the more it takes hold of me-the less chance that I'll
ever be free
And even though I don't believe-it's so hard to leave-a mira-
cle-a miracle
Waiting-always hesitating-for that perfect day-that day was
yesterday
And the more you're gonna wait-the more of a chance that it
will be too
late
How can you afford to wait, you just can't afford to wait
I shed a tear I won't deny it, but just one tear I already
cried it
And now you'll see me cry no more, don't even know what I was
crying for
"IF I DON'T WAKE UP"
Why do I wake up in the morning-nothing's changed since the
day of my
birth
Why do I wake up in the morning-I make no difference on this
earth
Strength has left-has to be-something has died inside of me
If I don't wake up in the morning-at my funeral would anyone
care
If I don't wake up in the morning-would anyone even be there
You can put me down-you can put me out, you can try to ignore
But now you're gonna hear me when I shout WAKE UP
Why should I wake up in the morning-it be just another wasted
day
Why should I wake up in the morning-don't do nothing right
anyway
That was then-not anymore-now I go blasting out the door
I'm gonna wake up in the morning-I'll prove you wrong I will
not fail
I'm gonna wake up in the morning-I'm gonna blaze a brand new
trail
Might not be smart, but if I'm strong
I know for sure no one ever will prove me wrong
"SORRY?!"
Seems like such a long time ago, but I don't know if I'm ever
gonna let
her go. I remember the first time that I met her, I knew she
was the
one. There couldn't be anybody better. Well, I was lost when I
looked
in her eyes
Well those eyes, those eyes, they made me realize...
Sorry...I didn't know what was to be
Sorry...I could not see
Sorry...Lord how could this be
Sorry...It's raining down on me
Well, I know it sounds crazy to say. But, in everything I do,
I think
about that day. Last time I talked to her was on the telepho-
ne. She
said I know it's been a while, but I don't feel like being
alone. I
slammed down the phone on the last thing I'd hear her say. Now
it's
getting harder to live with it every day and I pray, I pray
that you
can hear me say
Sorry...I could not see
Sorry...It don't seem fair to me
Sorry...Lord, how could this be
Sorry...It's raining right down on me
Not a day goes by when I do not sit and wonder why this had to
be. It
don't seem fair to me. No no, it don't seem fair to me. The
more I wish
and pray, the more it seems I waste away. But it would mean oh
so much
if I could just reach out and our hands would touch and if I'd
just
go back again and do it all over it'd have a happy end.
I know exactly the way I would start. I'd send her a letter
straight
from
my heart. It doesn't seem fair, why can't I forgive. She was
so strung
out,
she didn't even have a chance to live and it's oh so hard to
forgive.
Sometimes people think I don't know what to say because I'm
looking
out in space, but inside I'm praying and I pray, I pray, I
pray, pray,
pray and then I think about the day she died. About that night
and
in the morning. I cry cry cry and I try, I try to understand
Sorry...I didn't know what was to be
Sorry...It don't seem fair to me
Sorry...Lord I'll always be
Sorry...She died but it's killing me
Wondering about that time when it'll be my day
And I wonder what I'll do and what she'll say and if I'll have
the
courage to stay
And I'll start by looking her straight
in the eye and telling her that I'm Sorry
"ONE TOO MANY TIMES"
Never good at talking, so many things I couldn't say
But those thoughts never went away
And I'm sure you remember, said that all I wanted was sympa-
thy,
Now add this to your memory
Too many times-I felt so sad and lonely
Too many times-I needed someone there
Too many times-I tried to tell you something
Too many times-It seemed like no one cared
And I don't like asking-and it's not easy to say...
I never learned how to pray
So if you have a moment it means so much to me oh can't you
see...
If you'd just say a prayer for me
Too many times-I didn't even have a second
Too many times-you thought I was much too strong
Too many times-you said the feeling wouldn't last forever
Too many times-I proved you so damn wrong
Saw the changes-thought they'd go away-do you still remember
that day
Can't really fault you-only have myself to blame...
But do you still feel the same
Do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya, do ya?
But I waited so long-for someone to take my hand, and say they
understand
And I waited so long-for someone to show the way-to make a
better day
and I waited so long-for someone to spare a kiss for the love
I miss
And I waited so long-for you to looke me in the eye
And say it's worth another try
But yo keep me waiting-waiting-too many times
You keep me waiting, one too many, one too many, one too many
times,
Too many times
One too many one too many one too many times too many times
Can't you see yo keep me waiting-one too many times
"THE FEELING'S BACK"
I wrote a letter just the other day to nobody in particular
But if anyone were to read a bit-they'd think I was a bit
peculiar
But it matters not what they think of me, it's only what I
know is real
And so all that's left that matters now-is that the feeling's
back
The feeling's back and you just can't stop it
The feeling's back and you just can't stop it
I fought a thousand times-I never knew the meaning of the word
fear
Till that one day when I stood alone-staring straight into the
mirror
It's not a pretty sight-and even worse it's so hard to face
Until I realize I'm the only one that put me in this place
I'm gonna breathe I'm gonna live-that's right-nothing's gonna
stop me
I7m gonna shout I'm gonna scream-that's right-nothing's gonna
stop me
I'm gonna run I'm gonna fly-that's right-nothing's gonna stop
me
I'm gonna fight I'm gonna win-that's right-nothing's gonna
stop me
Nothing's gonna stop me, nothing's gonna stop me now...
Cause the feeling's back
and you gotta love the feeling
I dug my hole too deep-I couldn't admit, I didn't know when to
stop
But you can only dig your hole six feet until the dirt comes
back on top
I've got a long way left to climb but I'll still look you
straight in the eye
And I can honestly say I'll never quit-not even on the day I
die
