Should Have Been Mine

You shut me out,
Don't hear a word, I'm sayin'
Just can't understand, this crazy game you're playin'
Need a little time to make it right
Wipe the tears from your eyes, if it takes all night

CHORUS:
Look into my eyes
And see into my heart
‘Cause the pain I see in you
Is tearin' me apart.

Don't turn away
Slip into yourself
Open the door and let me in
My mind is racin', tryin' to find the answer
To these crazy games you're playin'.

CHORUS

Let me change the way you feel
Look right through me and see nothing of what I see
With frustration at my side
All I want is to set you free.

CHORUS

Deep

You hope that something will happen
But you're stuck with what you've got
In a maze you're lost, thinking of things that are not.
Real enough to make things different though
I don't know what it means
Confused and mixed up when everything's deep
And I don't know what it means
And I don't know why, I don't know why.

CHORUS:
What you got, serenity
What is not deep
Your mind is not, your mind is weak
Can't stop, it's just so deep.

You change while everything else is still the same
Therapy is quite the road to take, ‘specially when you're in such a state.
That the ones you love are the ones you hate
You crack a smile when you don't understand
The touch of a loved one's hand, I don't know
Why, instead of laughing you sit there and cry.

CHORUS

I don't know why

CHORUS

Mistake

Do you know how to find what you're looking for
Stuck in a maze of promises, don't know what's real or not
Promise you anything, I'll never lie
Do you even know what it is you want
So how can I even try

CHORUS:
It's all a mistake
How long will it take
When the dreams are all gone
How long till you wake

Don't know how I came to this
Just try n' figure out what to do
How can he give you what you need
You think that I cannot
In a state of mind games, it feels like a check mate
None of us will win
And I don't think I can wait

CHORUS

Bridge XA!

CHORUS

How long till you wake

Face Down

Lost in amidst this false reality.
Don't feel a thing anymore.
On your knees and begging
Face down on the floor.

CHORUS:
You try to fade into the background
but you're always seen.
Face down, hit the ground
you know you can't stay here anymore.
Crooked, tangled
A heap of nothingness
Lying there in shambles
A burning ball of stress.

CHORUS:
You try to fade into the background
afraid of the hunter.
Face down, hit the ground
you know you can't stay here anymore.
Silence comes, like darkness to the night.
Alone and peaceful
There's no one to hurt you where you are now
Safe from evil.
See the pain dwelling in your eyes,
Won't be long now

CHORUS:
You try to fade into the background,
Afraid of the hunter.
Face down, hit the ground
One last breath

Shallow

So close yet so distant
Fading face embraces resistant
Words kept hidden
And shadows dark
Your forbidden heart is shallow
Your emotions are hallow
You haven't learned, it's time.

CHORUS:
Cause you ain't comin' back
It'll never be the same old song
The cards are stacked
And time's run out
And everything's a game.
So sing me your lullaby
‘cause I need to know why
why I keep fallin'
Keep fallin'

CHORUS

You know you're shallow
Used to be at the top, now you've dropped
Lost all your common sense and now your brain's stopped
There's nothing left in your mind except yourself
You gave it all up - your home, your friends and yourself.
Now you're out on your own, you've lost your soul
Get a hold of yourself - know your role.
So close yet so distant
Fading face embraces resistant
Words kept hidden
And shadows dark
Your forbidden heart is shallow
Your emotions are hollow
You haven't learned, it's time

CHORUS

Ain't comin' back

Push

Standing
In the corner of my mind
I try to run, but I'm
So far behind.
I don't know the meaning of this life anyway
I try to find a way to get around this place.

CHORUS:
I'm gonna face this head on
I'm gonna push until these chains are gone.

Step into the doorway of this hole where I reside
I kick the wall down, step to the other side
I need the feeling of your calm embrace
I try to find the way around this.

CHORUS

Sanity

I still don't know what you mean to me
But I'm gonna lose my cool
You better go ‘cause I'm going crazy
I think I'm losin' all my sanity.

CHORUS:
We're goin' all the way down
To the end of our sanity
Blowin' it straight down
To the end of my sanity.

I start to hear things in my head
And I try to block ‘em out
You still can't run, there's nowhere to hide
‘Cause it's the end of my sanity.

CHORUS

Feel it slip away ya, but I can't
turn back now
I can't turn back now, won't turn back.

Centipede

Ya keep on losing your mind
I'm afraid I can't say the same
Complicated reasons are why.
I'm not the one who is left to blame.
Your constant crap is what I'm left to use
Can't take this kind of senseless abuse
You're left with nothing left to say
Co-ordinations not the only simple way.

CHORUS:
Squirm, squirm
Go home and don't come back

Look at you, you dirty mindless wreck
Worthless as a minor tiny insect.
Crush your body, you're a centipede
Your mixed up ya, so reach inside and bleed.
Surely you won't mess with me
I'm telling you this ain't hostility
Confused your judgement, it's insanity
Your jaded by your own immunity.

CHORUS:
Squirm, squirm
Go home and don't come back
Confused your judgement, it's insanity
You're jaded by your own immunity.

Confused

Back track, everybody knows just that
You're paranoid about the things that you just don't cut it flat
You're pullin' all the tricks from your sleeve
But only God knows what the hell you mean.
Stare out my window at the broken streets below
Feel the angst within me - soon I'm gonna blow.
Got a rage built up inside of me I'll never show
Love to stay and chat but I gotta go.

You second guess your life
Tryin' to make it all fit
Gotta stop your cryin'
And be more sure of it.
Inquisitive minds wanna interfere
Try n' figure out what the hell I'm doin' here.
Turn around the corner it's a brand new day
Strange the way today seems just like yesterday.
Try your best to free yourself from anxiety
Livin' for today, you gotta make it your priority.

Outrage

You wanna take it to the next level
Walkin' among the streets and burn like the devil
Everybody wants to know why, ‘cause it's an outrage.
I don't know what's causin' your rage
Listen up or pay the price, don't know what's not
You know it ain't right
Madness and
You know you're different ‘cause now it's not the same.

CHORUS:
Your recklessness caused you pain
Unfair game or runaway brain, barely tamed
Should have been cooped up in a cage
‘cause it's an outrage, listen up
that's the way!

Night is clear, got no fear
But you're scared to tears
What's up with that ya hear
I don't listen to your problems
‘cause I can't solve ‘em
and you know that fact be true
I should have left you astray
But I don't have any way
‘cause it's an outrage.

CHORUS

CHORUS

Denial

You and I bring it around again with a fresh flow
Low blow, Tippin' ya over like a deck of cards
I'll tell yo where you are, stuck at the starting line
with nothing left to say,
Your ends unravel and your tips they start to fray
You think you know me, you're inside my head
But you ain't understood one single word that I have said.
Follow the leader is the name of the game you play
You wanna be takin' it but I'm gonna have my own way.

CHORUS:
Erase the face of your enemies
The night is mine ya deny this
Take it down, You've got that look on your face
You think you're up there but you don't even
know your own place.
You think you're something, make me do what you will
But I ain't buyin' you know that I have had my fill.
See your body fallin', deeper in a hole
It's all over now you've gotta reach inside your soul
Fightin' to control,
Denying what you know
The war inside your brain
Is like a sound insane.

CHORUS

Skidrow

Yo skid, ya you, down on the row
What ya gonna do now? Where ya gonna go?
Yo skid, ya you, down on the row
What ya gonna do now? Where ya gonna go?

All we wanna do is ride the black
Jump here, jump there, take the gap
Hey man! Chillout! We're not crazy
Wantin' us to sit arround just beeing lazy
Kids with nothin' just get into somethin'
Trouble is their middle name,
They just can't win

CHORUS

We got it on gettin' into the grind
Puttin' metal to metal, what's blowin' our mind
Give us a place where we can ride on the edge
Not hoppin' downtown and sneakin' on a ledge
Don't be a "BIT" spell the rest
Alley oopin', kick flippin', jammin's the best

All we wanna do is ride the black
Jump here, jump there, take the gap
We got it on gettin' into the grind
Puttin' metal to metal, what's blowin' our mind
Don't be a "BIT" spell the rest
Alley oopin', kick flippin', jammin's the best

Dream Girl

Hey girl, are you out there?
I can see you in my mind
You've been messin' with my head
Now I need to ... unwind
I saw you in my dream last night
Now I want to sleep forever
Girl you have got to see
That we belong together

Where can I find you?
I just gotta know
This feelin' is amazing
Don't want to let it go

There you are again I see
You walking down the street
You'll be there and we can meet
I knew that when I found you
My mind would blow a fuse
But no more sleepin' threw my days
Together we can't lose

CHORUS
Where can I find you?
I just gotta know
This feelin' is amazing
Don't want to let it go

Velocity

It's an inside drive to achieve the velocity
Don't see no reason for this tauntin' animosity
Frontside tailslide down an unknown ledge
We keep on ridin' along the edge
You deny us of a place to ride
We got a fire burnin' deep inside

You deny us of a place to ride
And all we wanna do is get up and ride
When you deny us of a place to ride
Like a spit in the face
We feel like a criminal you want to hide

We see no end to when this drive will subside
But all we know is that we will not stand aside
Walk right through the no skateboarding sign
Are you afraid of us havin' our oun piece of mind?
Take a good look and remember who we are
Give is our place and then we'll go far

CHORUS

CHORUS

Lonely Heart

What does it do
When it's used and thrown away
When it doesn't understand
Love's not a game you play

How does it cope
When it doesn't feel it's worth
When there's no one who understands
At least not here on Earth

Where does the lonely hart go
When the laughter turns to sorrow
When it doesn't care to look outside
Or forward to tomorrow

What does it do
When there's nothing left inside
Will it ever feel again
Or should it run and hide

I'll tell you where it goes
If you promise to believe
That every broken heart
Becomes a pair, just wait and see

Where does the lonely hart go
When the laughter turns to sorrow
When it doesn't care to look outside
Or forward to tomorrow

Where does the lonely heart go
When it breaks and needs to heal
When it hurts so much
You wish you couldn't feel

Obsession

Feel the rush on a pipe made of wood
Jump off the edge, never thought I could
Wheels that fly without any wings Rockin' n' Rollin's the thing to do
Poppin' a kick flip really kicks too
Shredding the sequence again and again
Some people think that we've gone insane

When the mind takes control
Gotta grind, gotta roll
When the mind takes control
Obsession...

Black n' blue that's the color of pain
Suck it up man and do it again
Olley the stairs when it's closin' time
Ya gotta know when to draw the line
It's a genuine need we don't wanna hide
Enter our realm, come on step inside
Feel the beat it's in my head
Gotta get a new board 'cause this one's dead!

CHORUS

Shredding the sequence again and again
Some people think that we've gone insane
It's a genuine need we don't wanna hide
Enter our realm, come on step inside
Master the craft with our own inner drive
The adrenaline rush that keeps us alive

CHORUS

Happyland

Lalala, lalala, lalalalalalala
