"slave"
-----
hello my friend
come see me again
long time companion
this can never end.

give me shelter
from this lonely life
give me laughter
but i'm cryin' inside

i found the answers
questions the lies
gave me reason
for the pain in my eyes

i'm a slave...
to the things that i feel
i'm a servant..
to the memories i hide
you're a slave...
to the demons you conceal
you're a servant...
to the evil inside

you give me wisdom...
your lies help me to see
the pain you try to ease
from a life that's never free

you gave me sorrow
with hopes of tommorow
a life i'll never know
it wasn't meant to be

disturbing memories
of a life i've never seen
in a place i've never been
was this gift for me?

i'm a slave...
to the things that i feel
i'm a servant..
to the memories i hide
you're a slave...
to the demons you conceal
you're a servant...
to the evil inside

hello my friend
come see me again
long time companion
this can never end.

"cold lonely life"
--------------
hoping to find what has never been found
seeing the lies on the faces around
telling the truth from what wrong and what's right
forever blinded by your perpetual light

well alright...

walking with you through this cold lonely life
searching for salvation in your eyes
tell me what it is that you want me to say
promise i'll try not to lead you astray

well alright....

-------------------------------------------
"fool"
-----
open your eyes
don't tell me no lies
the truth is all i need

i am a fool to act like i do
never meant to make you cry
i am always wrong
your always right
and i'm the one who starts the fights

so tell me again
and please don't pretend
i know how you feel inside

but it's alright
i'm ok
hearts get broken every day
you don't feel the same as i do
once again i play the fool

i am the fool....

save me your lines
you have no right
to make me hurt inside
i know i'm strong
to you i'm weak
atleast i still have my pride

you tell me you care
it's so unfair
to make me fell this way
so just walk away
and know i'm ok
cause i know soon your going to miss me

but it's alright
i'm ok
hearts get broken every day
you don't feel the same as i do
once again i play the fool

"song for someone"

-----------------------

some live in glory
some live in pain
some live in silence
some live in shame
some live unhappy
some live for gain
some live believing
some feel the same
some go unnoticed
somepoint the blame
some live for vegence
some live again

all i needed was the fire
and the life you stole from me
all i wanted was desire
ever needing to be free

some live in darkness
some live in fear
some have there reasons
some stay sincere
some just want money
some just want ease
some live for no one
some live for peace
some live for knowledge
some search for truth
some lack compassion
some miss there youth

all i needed was the fire
and the life you stole from me
all i wanted was desire
ever needing to be free

some live unsheltered
some have there ways
some live not knowing
some have there days
some need understanding
some need release
some live for pleasure
some live diseased
some live unwilling
some don't believe
some want completion
some never leave

all i needed was the fire
and the life you stole from me
all i want is desire
ever needing to be free

yeah
all i needed was the fire
and the love you stole from me
all i wanted was desire
ever needing to be free
