Love Lifted Me

Verse 1:  The first chapter in my life was so intense / That it didn't seem real / I kept wondering if I even existed / I knew I didn't belong / I always felt out of place / And as I aged, that feeling never went away / I stumbled, I slipped / I tossed, I turned / To get to where I am today / I took a second look and I realized / That I had to invest in myself

Verse 2:  The second chapter in my life was so confusing / That it didn't seem fair at all / I kept wishing that things would change / I knew I was alone / Ever since I was a little child / And as I aged, I thought I would always be that way / I ran, I fell / I tossed, I turned / To get to know who I am today / I took another look and I realized / That what I went through was all worthwhile

Bridge:  I did not know love / Because I was afraid of it / It was something that I hadn't experienced / For such a long time I was lower than low / Thanks to love, I was lifted up / I will never forget the day that my life changed

Chorus 1:  Love lifted me up to a place / I thought I could never be / I am not the same person that I once was / I am able to appreciate the beauty of this gift / That I have received / Love lifted me up and now I can see

Chorus 2:  Love lifted me up to a place / I thought I could never be / I am not the same person that I once was / I am able to understand the beauty of this gift / That I have received / Love lifted me up and now I believe

Into My Heart
Verse 1:  Nothing good lives inside of me / Everything about me has changed / I don't like who I have become
Verse 2:  I see myself as being hopeless / There's not much I can do about it / I don't like who I have become / And many others don't either
Verse 3:  I live my life the way I see it / What others say about me is unimportant / What others do is of no concern to me / I'm unable to control people and events around me / Even if I could, I would only make things worse
Chorus 1:  Hate has seeped into my heart / I have turned into a monster / My anger frightens everyone around me
Chorus 2:  Sadness has seeped into my heart / I have turned into a monster / My despondency frightens everyone around me
Chorus 3:  Indifference has seeped into my heart / I have turned into a monster / My apathy frightens everyone around me
Outro:  Nothing good lives inside of me / I see myself as being hopeless / I live my life the way I see fit

Faces Down

Verse 1:  Some are ashamed, some are filled with guilt / Some can't bear the sight of it

Verse 2:  Some feel inferior, some don't feel at all / To stand tall would cause some to fall / Some are afraid, some are confused / Some feel like they always lose

Verse 3:  Some pray every day, some have turned away / Some don't know what to do / And the only person who can help them may not exist

Chorus 1:  Faces down, out of sight / Always down, beneath the light

Chorus 2:  Faces down, beneath the light / Always down, out of sight

Don't Say A Word

Verse 1:  Don't say a word / I know what you'll say / Close your mouth / Pay attention to what's going on / Don't waste my time, I won't waste yours / I look into your eyes and know only what I need to know / You become frozen in time / And part of your life is up in the air / Soon a gentle breeze will run through your body / What you will experience is refreshing / A wave of emotions will splash into you

Verse 2:  I feel a bit of reluctance from you / Your mind is tip-toeing to the edge / If you fall, I'll no longer have a hold on you / And I'll have to start the process all over again / I don't use spells or potions / To make the effect last, I'll build a connection to you / A wave of emotions will splash into you

Bridge:  Don't say a word / Don't ask any questions / Let me touch you once / What happens to you will be passed on

Chorus:  Don't say a word / Don't ask any questions / Follow my instructions and you will be healed / Let me touch you once / You'll be changed forever / What happens to you will be passed on

Before You Sleep

Verse 1:  If I yelled out for help / Would you hear me / And would you come to assist me / If you were the only person who could rescue me / What would you do if you had five seconds to make your mind up? / If you yelled out for help / I would hear you / And I would come to assist you / If I were the only person who could rescue you / It wouldn't take me a long time to make my mind up

Verse 2:  We've spoken many times / We've also laughed and cried on the telephone / You told me what was going on there / And I told you what was going on around here / We keep on talking like everything's the same / I think you're trying to pretend that I never moved away / Maybe you're pretending that you still want to be with me / I want to know what's been on your mind

Verse 3:  Are you starting to have doubts about you and I? / Do you think you've made a big mistake? / All I want to know if I should let go of you / If you want to hold on to the memories we've shared / You know where to find me / I'm not going anywhere / You mean so much to me

Bridge 1:  I know that some things have already changed / But are you willing to work them out / Is the distance too much to handle?

Bridge 2:  Things can work between us if you're willing to try / Let me know if you're in it till the end / Do you really want to throw everything away?

Bridge 3:  I know that some things have already changed / Let me know if you're in it till the end / Everything seems to be fading away

Chorus:  Do you think of me before you sleep? / Am I in your dreams every night? / Do you miss me as each day passes by? / Do you wish that I would return to you?

All of Me

Verse 1:  I've been asking myself a lot of questions lately? / Unfortunately, I don't have all of the answers / You and I have been growing closer since we met / And I fear that we will soon grow apart / You and I come from different worlds / Maybe we were never meant to be

Verse 2:  Should I let my brain help me out / Or should I let my heart lead the way / Either way I just might end up with the same problem / There's pressure on me / And I need to get rid of it / I am breaking into a hundred different pieces

Bridge:  All of me wants to let you go / All of me wants to make you stay / I am torn / All of these feelings I have for you / Aren't making things easier / I only want to come up with the perfect solution / I was about to let you walk out the door / Until I felt an urge / I had to reconsider my decision

Chorus:  All of me wants to hold you / And all of me wants to leave you / All of me wants to tell you how good you make me feel / All of me needs to know that you will always be safe / I am torn between all of my emotions for you

Shadows And Light

Verse 1:  Shadows and light hide and reveal you / You are so beautiful / It's a shame that you don't realize it / You should be proud of who you are / If you aren't then you can change yourself / How about now? / But only do it because you want to / And not because people tell you to

Verse 2:  Shadows and light hide and reveal you / You are intelligent / You should be proud of who you are / If you aren't then you can change yourself / How about now? / But only do it because you want to / And not because people tell you to

Verse 3:  Like a shadow, you blend in perfectly / When people see you / They don't know if it's really you / Suddenly your appearance becomes clearer / I see you for who you truly are / I am not clouded by your image / But that doesn't mean I know you completely / I'd like to get to know you better / Maybe we can become friends / We'll let the light surround us throughout our lives / It is special because it never fades

Chorus:  You are rarely seen by others / But whenever you are / Your kindness brings out the best in you / It is felt everywhere you go

Unison

Verse 1:  Life is so much better / Knowing that you are by my side / I feel comfortable around you / There's no reason to run and hide / I tell you what I'm thinking about / You show me how you're feeling / I give you time and comfort / You show understanding and compassion / When I wake up in the morning / You are the first thought on my mind / That is the best part of my day

Verse 2:  To me, you are many things / My soul mate, my honey, my baby / I place my trust in you / Knowing that I can count on you / My imagination runs wild / Just thinking about you and I / There is nothing that we can't do / That's how much I believe in us / Whenever I'm away from home / You are the only thought on my mind / That is how much I miss you

Bridge:  You have saved me from a life of loneliness / And I have inspired you to reach your potential

Chorus 1:  We are in unison / I know what you want / You give me what I need / There is nothing that I would change about us / I like it when you look at me / You tell me that I'm beautiful / You are my protector keeping me safe and secure / We are in unison / I love you and you love me

Chorus 2:  We are in unison / I know what you want / You give me what I need / There is nothing that I would change about us / I like it when you look at me / You tell me that I'm beautiful / You are my protector keeping me safe and secure

To Get To You

Verse 1:  Sometimes I feel that I will be lost without you / That's why I always dread the thought of you leaving me / Is this a game that you and I have been unconsciously playing? / Being inconsiderate of the others' feelings / While we score points based on the impact it creates

Verse 2:  Do you ever feel that you will be lost without me? / Do you think that you will be trapped / And not know when to ask for help? / I know that I am to blame for putting all those tears in your eyes / Some say that forgiveness is the key / To solving most of the problems one might face

Verse 3:  Sometimes you and I feel helpless even when we're together / It might sound strange / But it's absolutely true / We really don't accomplish anything at all / I think it's too early to throw the towel in / But I'm not sure if working things out will be worthwhile for us in the end

Chorus 1:  Tell me what I should do / So I can get to you / I do not like the fact that we're falling apart / Now's the time to take serious action / And try to mend the broken pieces / I said I'd be there till the end / That's my promise to you / I have no intentions of changing my mind / As I stand before you today / I will swear to do the best that I can

Chorus 2:  I'll tell you what to do / So you can get to me / You said you don't like the fact that we're falling apart / Now's the time to turn things around / And try to build a relationship / You said that you'd be there for me / That was the promise you made / Tell me if you're going to change your mind / As you stand before me today / Swear to me that you'll do the best that you can

Verse 1:  Unmade bed - in the dead of night / I want to be a bad boy in secret / Don't question what is going on / Admire me and what I'm giving you / You don't have to know or understand me / Repression will not put an end to desire / Aim for freedom, aim for connection / Dismantle the barrier which separates you and I

Verse 2:  Reveal what's invisible to the naked eye / Don't be shy / Just give it a try / Hesitation is normal but it shouldn't scare you / Time is ticking away / You don't have all day / Cultivate a sense of adventure / Exploration is transformative / Pick a talent and use it well / Aim for freedom, aim for connection / A simple touch can lead to so much

Verse 3:  Unmade bed - in the dead of night / Don't question what is going on / You don't have to know or understand me / Reveal what's invisible to the naked eye / Hesitation is normal but it shouldn't scare you / Aim for freedom, aim for connection

Chorus:  Suppression of engagement / Is truncating your development / Reach out and make a move / Denial of experiences / Is not going to eliminate curiosity / Missed opportunities can transform into regret / Indulgence is a gift you give to yourself / Choose right, choose tonight

Verse 1:  I'm not a **** so don't shame me / Focus on things other than me / Words can be used as weapons / But the ones you say will never harm me / I know myself more than you do / I've got nothing to prove to you / I'm not as fascinating as you make me out to be / I believe in modesty / You follow me everywhere I go / Even though I'm not a celebrity

Verse 2:  The best strength comes from within / I know how to conquer anything / You can try to bring me down / But you will surely fail / Gossiping is unbecoming / Address problems, provide solutions / If you argue with fools, you're foolish / So I refuse to argue with you / Confidence is what I developed / It carries me through tough solutions

Verse 3:  I'll be who I choose to be / And you're not going to stop me / You can judge and you can criticize / But I've got my eyes on the prize / Time is fast and time is slow / I'll make the most of it so I can grow / Being desperate is not what I do / I always have control of myself / I want to be alone and not be bothered / You're a creep and I don't like you

Chorus:  I tell it like I see it / I've got nothing to lose / Whatever you're dealing with / Has got nothing to do with me / You do you, let me be / I don't want to fight / I don't want to scream

Verse 1:  Jesus loves all the ******* / From Cairo to San Francisco / He'll reach out and pull you through / The perversity of your mind / And wrap his arms around you / Like a father embraces his child / With strength and a deep sense of protection / He never wants to see you cry / Doubt like a bed that rocks in the night / While you're trying to sleep / Doesn't stop or reduce the intensity of the dilemma / It bites and it tugs / Leaving no clear idea of where this may lead to

Verse 2:  Out of pages, out of mouths / You're the source of controversy / Like a needle weaving tales of seduction and betrayal / You're a victim and a villain all at once / Your eyes never lie / So we fixate on them / Knowing all that you are is our mandate / A wink, a stare, and a preference for all things bare / Is how your true nature will be revealed / In a climate of fear and fascination / You're in the spotlight / Whether you like it or not

Verse 3:  Bold and brazen like there's no care in the world / You air your grievances in public spaces / With speeches and signs carefully crafted for maximum exposure / Days of loneliness and fear are in the rear view mirror / As you focus on victory / But not all have bitten the fruit of liberation / So they live half-lives / In accordance with the social order / Forever a caterpillar and never a butterfly

Chorus:  There are those who tell you to practice safe religion / To protect yourself from the world / But like everything in life, nothing is guaranteed / You can chant and you can pray / Even three times a day / To cleanse your heart of indecent desire / And not become infected with shame and despair

Verse 1:  You're flaky / You don't know what you want / You present yourself as being a person of fun / Then you back away when things begin to progress / Disappointment is what you leave behind / You're oblivious to how you make others feel / If you were aware, you still wouldn't care / Your general attitude is laissez-faire / This is who you are / This is who you'll always be

Verse 2:  You can make all the plans you want / They rarely come to fruition / If you decide on doing something / It ends up being nothing / Nothing seems to bother you / You're always in a neutral mood / You can make others want you more / When you give less than what they expect / This is who you are / This is who you'll always be

Bridge:  Show more of yourself / Give more of yourself / Everything around you could use a touch of you / If you hide more of yourself / If you give less of yourself / Everything around you will be further away 

Chorus:  It's not surprising to know / You're from a podunk town / In a podunk town it's difficult to dream / Dream about adventure, dream about excitement / Time is rarely on anybody's side / You live your live the best way you know how / Controlling your fate is simply innate

Verse 1:  Deliver it to me in high dosages / It's the only thing I'll ever need / It may feel good going down / Or it may hurt like hell / But I don't care / I want to flow like a river / I want to be in living colour / I want to be natural and whole again / Wrap all of me into the present / And let the present be solidifying

Verse 2:  It can't be kept away from me / Like water, I need it in abundance / I'll search high and low / I'll search far and wide / I'll go inside and outside of everything / Cycles of imbalances / Like fighting with ghosts and monsters / It may hurt like hell / But I'm going to win / Roll me up in my surroundings / And let them lead me into new phases

Bridge:  It could all disappear / Perhaps it's meant to be that way / But I'll hold onto it for as long as I can

Chorus:  The language we all speak / The joyful and cathartic moments generated from it / What we believe in, what we aspire to be / Connections to the past, destinations to the future / Beauty in a multitude of forms / Music for me, music for you / Music for all who breathe / A love affair of various kinds / Connections to the past, destinations to the future / Beauty in a multitude of forms

A Place To Stand

Verse 1:  I'm looking for a place to stand / I've been sitting down for much too long / As a result, my *** is sore / I don't mean to get in anyone's way / I thought that somebody could help me / But it turns out I was wrong / Down where I've been is not where anybody should be / For a long period of time / The air is not as clean, people look down upon you / Your sanity slowly drifts away

Verse 2:  I'm looking for a place to stand / It's not as easy as it sounds / But I am not going to give up / There's a location where I'll be able to strive for excellence / I'll keep searching for it until the day I die / Down where I've been is not where anybody should be / For a long period of time / You become stressful, worn out and easily upset / Confusion slowly invades your mind

Verse 3:  I know I could never be a perfect person / I just want to be the best I can be / If I don't stand and take control of my life / I will not have much to live for / I promised myself that I would give my all / Whenever I had to get something done / I will live up to my word / I won't let myself down / I'm looking for a place to stand

Bridge:  I'm looking for a place to stand / I don't mean to get in anyone's way / Down where I've been is not where anybody should be / The air is not as clean / People look down on you

Chorus:  All I really want is a place to stand / I know that I can be strong / Given the chance, I can be more productive / I'm sure there's a place out there

The Terminator

Verse 1:  Thicken your lips / Bleach your skin / Buy your hair / You're still disgusting / Spray perfume / Wear make-up / Buy your ******** / You're still unappealing / You call yourself a 'Queen' / They call you a 'Queen' / But you hate yourself more than anyone else / And so you inflict misery upon others

Verse 2:  Countless men in jail / Countless men dead / Indifference prevails / You're disgusting / Being a member of a protected class / Means reality is optional / You're unappealing / You call yourself a 'Queen' / They call you a 'Queen' / But you're the least desired woman in the world / And so you inflict misery upon others

Bridge:  You fight in the streets / Like you're a wild beast / You have a tendency / To take things to the extreme / An increasingly number of people / Know how you operate / And they want nothing to do with you

Chorus:  You have the ability to wipe out / Everything in your presence / A dangerous alliance you have formed / With the one who thinks most like you / You've been designed to act a certain way / As the leaders, you always fail / You don't realize your brains are fried / You're overly emotional / This is the life of a terminator

Move Along

Verse 1:  Took the punches and beatings / Ran for dear life / Knocked on a neighbour's door / So I wouldn't sleep outside / The extension cord that left bruises on me / Was the same one used to plug in the fan / During a heatwave / Babysitter left, I dialled 9-1-1 / The authorities threatened to take me away / Parents came rushing home / And unleashed a punishment / That I could never forget / Even if I tried

Verse 2:  I was always distant form those around me / Unable to form a lasting connection / Years passed and I was still afraid / Of becoming more of myself

Verse 3:  I've known pain since I was a child / Innocence was stolen / Self-image was broken / Mother and father are nowhere to be found / My legacy will be controlled by me

Bridge 1:  I've known pain since I was a child / Innocence was stolen / Self-image was broken / Mother and father become my enemy / The queen and the king ruled in a burning castle

Bridge 2:  I've known pain since I was a child / Innocence was stolen / Self-image was broken / Mother was clueless, father was selfish / The queen ruled over the king / In a make believe empire

Bridge 3:  I've known pain since I was child / Innocence was stolen / Self-image was broken / Mother was angry, father was absent / The queen controlled every aspect of her domain / But now I'm the king of myself / I chose to move along

Chorus:  Not only was I remembering my past / I was haunted by it / The time came for me to move along / And I chose to without hesitation

You Are Not The One

Verse 1:  Oranges are not the only fruit / This may be a shock to your system / But I guess we're back where we started / You're wounded and I'm holding the bow / It wasn't malicious intent on my part / But I hate to tell you / That 'I told you so'

Verse 2:  You can say you knew me / When we were close / Since then, we've grown apart / When only the memory remains / Feelings have dissipated / And emotions are remembered / I could have been crowned king for a day / Then I'd be a fool for a lifetime

Bridge:  Not all who wander are lost / I know what I'm searching for / This bridge, I must cross / Wrestling over tiny matters / Is what we'd do / If we stayed together / You've got to admit / That you are not the one for me

Chorus 1:  You are not the one / That I want to spend my life with / You are not the one / That I would die for / You are not the one / That I could open up to / You are not the one / That I love with everything in me / You are not the one

Chorus 2:  You are not the one / That I want to wake up next to / You are not the one / That I want to hold in my arms / You are not the one / That I want to grow old with / You are not the one / That I love with everything in me

Chorus 3:  You are not the one / That I want to spend my life with / You are not the one / That I love with everything in me / You are not the one

Let Me Go

Verse 1:  Let me go / I was never yours to begin with / Leave now and never return / Look away - You are not beautiful to me / I can't bare the sight of you / You make me sick to my stomach / Stop calling me / We have nothing to say to each other / Letters you write go into the garbage can / Stop following me / I've got no place to go / You're no longer in my life / And there's good reason for that

Verse 2:  When you speak, I tune your voice out / Scream as loud as you can / I will not hear you / I've got more important things to do / Than to waste time with the likes of you / You don't mean anything to me / How could you be foolish to believe that you do? / I would like to forget about you / But I can't because you haven't left yet

Verse 3:  Let me go / I was never yours to begin with / Your baggage weighs a ton / I won't carry it for you / Here's the simple truth you try to ignore / I do not love you and I never will

Bridge 1:  How heartless do you want me to be / Until you finally know the real me / You're pushing harder and more frequently / Even if you don't know what you're doing

Bridge 2:  Let me go / I was never yours to begin with / Leave now and never return

Chorus:  I'm not into playing head games / Don't you understand that you're driving me insane? / I never signed up for any of this / So take me off your list / And let me go

Whatever You Want

Verse 1:  You may be single and bright / Searching for someone to share your life / You may have qualities / That many would find appealing / But you're alone / You've got to be forthcoming with your intentions / It starts by being honest with yourself / Fakeness is futile / Misrepresentation will only lead to bitter feelings

Verse 2:  First impressions are important / Rarely do we get a second chance / To showcase out best attributes / So be wise and make the most of it / You shouldn't rely on fate / To give you a love / Get it for yourself / Life is full of competition / And in order to win / You have got to want it more

Chorus:  Whatever you want is out there / If you look hard enough / You will find what you are looking for / It's unnecessary to travel around the world / When what you want is in front of you / It's been there all along

The Coast Is Never Clear

Verse 1:  Hiding away, every day / Afraid to show yourself in broad daylight / Obsessing over appearances / Wanting to look better than you are / Your thoughts are on overdrive / You've got to slow yourself down / Troubles come and troubles go / But if you wait too long / You'll never know / If you can be more than you are

Verse 2:  Hiding away, every day / Obsessing over appearances / Your thoughts are in overdrive / Troubles come and troubles go / You'll never know if you don't grow / Falling down and rising up / Part of the motions of life / Choose to live out a dream / Or fantasize about it endlessly

Verse 3:  Hiding away, every day / Obsessing over appearances / Your thoughts are on overdrive / Troubles come and troubles go / You'll never know if you don't grow / Falling down and rising up / Part of the motions of life / Choose to live out a dream / Or fantasize about it endlessly

Chorus:  The coast is never clear / But there comes a time / When you'll have to make a run for it / The coast is never clear / But there comes a time / When you'll have to get out of your mind

Surfacing

Verse 1:  Whitest **** open up and reveal your great mystery / I've heard many rumours about you / And I want some clarification / Do you lean on the side of Marilyn Monroe or Margaret Thatcher? / Do you dance with everything you sweep up in your presence? / Are you the one to bestow afterglow on regular fellows? / Do you beat the heat by letting the freak class wash your feet? / Do you conjure up inventions with your breath and sounds? / Are you quiet when the inner riots erupt among the youth? / Do you earn a wage in the cage built by the big machine?

Verse 2:  Caught between minor existences and a glorious world / From far the most spectacular light that could easily blind me / Trying to grip onto anything that could eradicate my brokenness / I'd like to run across your warm beaches whole and complete / To be a star in your galaxies of pleasure would be breathtaking / An out of body experience beyond my wildest dreams / A moment you could freeze in time / For me to savour continuously

Verse 3:  If I'm offered to breathe in your pure air / I'd gladly accept it / My lungs would be fully-formed as I'm being revitalized / Every inch of skin would be removed painlessly / I'd be shielded from the harsh environments of my old ways / This unrealized state of being  / Would decorate empty spaces that have occupied my core / And taken control of my senses / I'm situated in a position that could go either way / A reality that could be a living perfection / Or a living nightmare

Bridge:  Sometimes it seems like I'm close to where I should be / There are no wise voices to guide me along the way / If I continue to subscribe to nonsensical notions / I won't break through the desires which surround me

Chorus:  They say that eyes are windows to the soul / If I stare long enough, I'll know everything about you / I'd be mesmerized and inspired to be deep inside of you / To swim across your cool and vibrant oceans of wonder / To transform myself into a unique and significant being / I want to tell you / That I spend the bland days of my life / Surfacing on your nature / But I don't know how / This unusual excitement is strong enough / That I'll break if it can't live outside of me

I Wanna Be A Soap Star

Verse 1:  I wanna be a soap star / I wanna go really far / Have my own dressing room / And be adored by millions of fans / Being Erica Kane's personal assistant / Who arrives in Pine Valley to shake things up / Would definitely rock my world / But first, I gotta get me an agent

Verse 2:  I wanna be a soap star / The publicity attached to it is what I crave / Having a six-figure income / Would wash many of my worries away / Being paid by Jack Abbott to spy on his nemesis / And bring down Newman Enterprises / While being part owner of Crimson Lights / Would definitely rock my world

Bridge:  I wanna be a soap star / I wanna promote myself on every talk show / I wanna co-host with Ellen or Kelly / And on The View if they get rid of that Survivor chick

Chorus 1:  Amnesia, multiple marriages / I would sign up for that in a heartbeat / I wanna be a soap star / Long-lost twin, business tycoon / Or any role I can sink my teeth into

Chorus 2:  Corrupt D.A., jilted ex-hubby / I would sign up for that in a heartbeat / Local mobster, nosy reporter / Or any role I can sink my teeth into / I wanna be a soap star

Linger Awhile
Verse 1:  Linger awhile / There's no rush to leave / Moment to moment / Should be taken in
Verse 2:  Follow me / Though I don't know where I'm going / Rest assured / It'll put your mind at ease / Time has made a change in you / The world keeps turning
Verse 3:  It was a long night / This will be a big day / We'll go east to west and back again / If you get close / You can hear the quietness in your mind / There's no greater thrill / Than the wonder in your eyes
Verse 4:  All who compete against the clock / Seldom realize that their lives are ticking away / Disobey the orders of your calender / We've got time to burn / Let's go real slow / Let's linger awhile
Chorus:  Look not at the time / But what's around you / Linger awhile

So Much For The City

Verse 1:  This city is just not for me / It was never filled with possibilities / Everywhere I go / Is a place I should have never been / Curiosity got the best of me / I won't look back / Homeless people walk up to me / They get in my face begging for money / They dirty up the streets / They don't want to get a job / Who the hell cares / Cause they'll soon no longer bother me

Verse 2:  Dying is never a choice / But living life certainly is / So I choose to feel alive / For the rest of my days / And I will get a chance to / Only if I'm far, far away

Bridge:  The soul of the city is colder than its winter season / Icicles pierced what was remaining of its barren heart / Snow has blocked its eyesight / The blind are leading everyone into eternal hibernation / That's why the Queen owns this nation

Chorus 1:  So much for the city / That never was the place / I thought it would be / Politicos and special interests rule / I'm escaping from the clutches of their stupidity / So much for the city

Chorus 2:  So much for the city / That never was the place / I thought it would be / Politicos and special interests rule / I'm escaping from the clutches of their stupidity / I refuse to live under this maddening authority / So much for the city

Chorus 3:  So much for the city / That never was the place / I thought it would be / Politicos and special interests rule / So much for the city
