This shadow hanging over me Is only temporary, but it can do some damage And this poison its forced inside of me Closes my eyes so I can no longer see, Stripping my will from me Stripping my will… I cannot see, I do not hear And my only too of function is under destruction Yes I am limp, lack of control And when it chooses, it will toy with the strings of my soul OOOOO I’ve fought this feeling for so long To the point that I’m no longer strong enough My decisions were in the wrong; OOO But guess what? I learned my lesson: The cure to your demons is not to share them And now I’m ready to conquer the storm Ready to conquer the storm! I stumble through the valley of burdened souls And I wonder desperately if this is where I’ll rest in peace (When their done with me) And this armor for now will hold But these seems are bound to give And these cracks are sure to spread I’ve fought this feeling for so long To the point that I’m no longer strong enough My decisions were in the wrong, OOO But guess what? I learned my lesson: The cure to your demons is not to share them And now I’m ready to conquer the storm Ready to conquer Ready to conquer Ready to conquer the storm!

Fight 04:01
Showering over me Is nothing other than, nothing other than Pain and misery And lurking within my veins Is a disease It'll kill me It's gonna kill me Unless I try and Fight, fight, fight To make it right There's no other way Slightly, I've been feeling so uptight About this whole situation I just might fight for my rights If it's gonna make me stay Doctor please bring me back to life Before it's too late! The second day is always the worst And I can't believe I was cast this curse I said, God forgive me for all I’ve done I’ve come this far, and I’m too young He looked at me and he said, “Everything will be alright, ut for tonight, sleep tight” I can see the light before my eyes Fight, Fight, Fight To make it right There’s no other way Slightly Iv’ve been feeling so uptight About this whole situation I just might fight for my rights If its gonna make me stay Doctor please bring me back to life Before its too late Before its too late Before its too late Doctor….

oooooooooooooooooooooo You’ve sure got some nerve Coming up here And telling me what to do And yet I can’t imagine Living without you I guess this is what I deserve When I fall down you pick me up When I’m scared you pull me out of the fire It’s you I admire OOOOOOOOOO ooooooooooooooooooooooooo All this time on hateful fighting Do our actions really express How we truly feel About one another? When I fall down you pick me up When I’m scared you carry me out of the fire It’s you I admire OOOOOOOOOO ooooooooooooooooooooooooo Don’t worry, we’ll get through this some day This is just a phase, just a daymare Don't worry, don't fret, anymore The light is near When I fall down you pick me up When I’m scared you carry me out of the fire It’s you I admire OOOO When I fall down you pick me up When I’m scared OOO When I’m broken, you put the pieces back together OOOOO

LOVE SUCKS 04:35
How did it ever turn out this way When I never expected anything…from you? Unexpected, unintentioned mistake Are you feeling under the weather today? Love is a four-letter word that I don’t understand You left me on January 14th And you took my heart; and you took it for keeps It stays in your closet locked up underneath You want me, love me, lose me, now I am incomplete Love is a four-letter word that I don’t understand It's a four-letter word with a thousand-letter meaning (L stands for losing patience O stands for overrated V stands for void And E stands for Estrogen) x2 S stands for suffocating U stands for u and me I can’t believe I said we were meant to be C stands for constant effort K is just there because And S is there to show I’m sleeping lonely tonight Love is a four-letter word that I don’t understand It's a four-letter word with a thousand-letter meaning Why’d you give up on my when our love was so strong Cause I feel like I can’t breath without you in my arms AAAAAHHHH, AHHHHHHH, AAAAHHHHHH, AAAHHHH

My best friend You've been there all along That's why I took the time to write this song As the days go by I realize I'm not as strong Without you to lean on Because I'm here for you You're here for me That's the way it's gonna be Forever and always You opened up my eyes And now I see How great life can be With you there beside me And along this road If our paths do part I'll leave a place for you Inside my heart And to you I swear I'll promise you this I'll fight through the storm No matter the risk Because I'm here for you You're here for me That's the way it's gonna be Forever and always You opened up my eyes And now I see How great life can be With you there beside me Through thick and thin From dawn through the dusk I'll be your guardian angel It's me you can trust Because I'm here for you You're here for me That's the way it's gonna be Forever and always You opened up my eyes And now I see How great life can be With you there beside me

I, I made a mistake I’m hardly awake right now I messed up And yet I’m falling in love, With you again You had lost your faith in me You had displayed your honesty You had promised your loyalty I understand if your disappointed in me But I can’t fight this feeling Anymore I said you're the one for me The one I adore The one I adore So you, you and your kind heart You gave me a new start A second chance I’m a lucky man Yeah, I’m a lucky man But I can’t fight this feeling Anymore I said you're the one for me The one I adore The one I adore But do I deserve you? After I hurt you? Do I deserve you? I don’t know Look, if you want me Than I’m not objecting But do I deserve you? I don’t know You and your kind heart You and your kind heart You and your kind heart But I can’t fight this feeling… Anymore I said you're the one for me The one I adore The one I adore The one I adore The one I adore You and your kind heart You and your kind heart You and your kind heart
