C.O.D.E - Dried

Once upon a time
I remember a child in me.
Everything in life
had a meaning and stayed with me.
Tell me why can't I feel the sun.
Tell me why have I been so numb.
&#8226;
It's time, for someone to be, the reason for me,
to cry, to feel something, to know I'm alive.
I need you to see, the bleeding in me,
and try, to reach for me, and touch me with life.
 &#8226;
I have dried inside
‘cause I know you can see through me.
Devastated pride
is the only thing left in me.
 	&#8226;
It's time, for someone to be, the reason for me,
to cry, to feel something, to know I'm alive.
 	&#8226;
It's time, for someone to be, the reason for me
for me,
to cry, to feel something, to know I'm alive.
I need you to see, the bleeding in me,
and try, to reach for me, and touch me with life.

Ok, so
I’m on a show, that’s fine.
Cause I know the flow, alright.
All I need to know, this time
Is the freaking Do….oh yeah
 	&#8226;
All I need to know this time is when the fun is due, and what the f@ck! you want me to do…
 	&#8226;
Is it gonna be this way?
I was told I had potential to be, a respectable human being
Not a restless damn machine!
 	&#8226;
I can be your slave, in vain
But I must get paid, in fame
I will feel no shame, no pain
Cause I know your game, its lame
 	&#8226;
I shall not resign, so soon.
I’m ahead of time, of you.
Do you know my crime, you do.
I am feeling fine, it’s true.
 	&#8226;
Is it gonna be this way?
I was told I had potential to be, a respectable human being
Not a restless damn machine!
 	&#8226;
All I need to know this time is when my soul is due and where the f@ck you’re sending it to…
 	&#8226;
So you breed a machine.
Cause you need a machine.
 	&#8226;
Is it gonna be this way?
I was told I had potential to be, a respectable human being
Not a restless damn machine!
Is it gonna be this way?
I was told I had potential to be, a respectable human being
Not a restless damn machine!

Machine

Once, I stood in line, killing my time, waiting for a sign to come around.
So I, wasted my life, searching for right, waiting for the sun to shine for me.
 	&#8226;
I've been waiting for so long, there's nothing to prolong
or any magic wand.
Time has come for me to fly, the danger I'll defy
and I  will reach the sky.
 	&#8226;
Once, I stood in line, killing my time, waiting for a sign to come around.
So I, wasted my life, searching for right, waiting for the sun to shine for me.
 	&#8226;
I have never seen the light, there's no such thing as right
or right enough for me.
Feelings always in the way, a game I have to play so
they can have no say.
 	&#8226;
Once, I stood in line, killing my time, waiting for a sign to come around.
So I, wasted my life, searching for right, waiting for the sun to shine for me.
 	&#8226;
Hey, this is who I used to be, just a single part of me, can you handle me...
Hey, this is who I used to be, just a single part of me, can you handle me...
 	&#8226;
Once, I stood in line, killing my time, waiting for a sign to come around.
So I, wasted my life, searching for right, waiting for the sun to shine for me
but now that my life is defined, there is no time, everything has fallen into place
so I will have to decide, looking inside, is it really me or just my face?

Waiting For The Sun

Come on, give yourself a break.
Sometimes, you just gotta wait.
Relax, it is not a shame.
This time, you are not to blame.
Give yourself, a break.
You just gotta, gotta
 	&#8226;
Wait, come on, give yourself a break, give yourself, a little
faith, come on, give yourself a break, give yourself, some faith
 	&#8226;
Kick back, take it from the start.
Cause life, is messing with your heart.
Breath in, let your mind exhale.
This way, you can never fail.
Let your mind, exhale.
You can never, never
 	&#8226;
Fail, come on, give yourself a break, give yourself, a little
faith, come on, give yourself a break, give yourself, some faith
 	&#8226;
Every, body, every, everybody needs a break.
Every, body, every, everybody makes mistakes.
 	&#8226;
Hey, come on, be yourself today, be yourself, in every
way, come on, be yourself today, be yourself for every single
day, come on, give yourself a break, give yourself, a little
faith, come on, give yourself a break, give yourself, some faith

Come On

Words

Begin is track 2 from the "No Excuses" album featuring Raphael Weinroth-Browne on cello.

Emotional yet powerful, a song for the broken.

“To see the light, one must sometimes have the courage to become the hated, the mighty.”

Begin

There’s no perfect,
There’s no perfect
•
You’ve been drowning for so long,
In your own doubts
Know that nothing can go wrong,
When there’s love so…
•
…Be with me,
Don’t tease me,
Let us be
•
Come, take me to the moon,
I’ve waited for so long
We’ll never be in tune,
‘Cause there’s no perfect song
There’s no right or wrong,
There’s no perfect we,
Just imperfect love
•
Listen to my heart go wild,
When you touch me
Always feeling like a child,
When you hold me
•
Come, take me to the moon
I’ve waited for so long
We’ll never be in tune
‘Cause there’s no perfect song
There’s no right or wrong,
There’s no perfect we,
Just imperfect love
•
Be with me,
Don’t tease me,
Don’t tease me,
Don’t tease me
•
Come, take me to the moon,
I’ve waited for so long
We’ll never be in tune,
‘Cause there’s no perfect song
There’s no right or wrong,
There’s no perfect we,
Just imperfect love

Imperfect Love

It’s hard to find the perfect time
It’s hard to draw a perfect line
The time has come
for no excuses
•
It’s hard to breath inside your mind
There are some things you ‘re scared to find
The time has come
for no excuses
•
Over the edge you ‘re falling
Over the edge you ‘ll come back
Over the edge you ‘re falling
Over the edge you will find hope
•
It’s fun to dream that you can fly
It’s fun to live the perfect lie
The time has come
for no excuses
•
Over the edge you ‘re falling
Over the edge you ‘ll come back
Over the edge you ‘re falling
Over the edge you will find hope

No Excuses

When I take a look inside,
All the troubles left behind.
In this perfect side of me,
there’s a place to never be.

The pain is still there.
The stain will never fade.

All the times that I have died,
But for you I never cried.
This is who I’ve always been,
All afraid I might be seen.

The pain is still there.
The stain will never fade.

I never believed in me,
Never believed in you.

STAIN

I'm walking all over you,
My city, mylife,I miss you too
Peeling thetime,I spent with you,
Meetingwith the child that I once knew

Don't you want me back when it rains?
I feel lost when I’m not there

Nothing short of everything

I’m braggingabout youtoo,
Your sound, your soul, that we made true
Now drifting away from you,
I follow the line that others drew

Can you take me, can you take me?

Can you take me back in my dreams, make time freeze and let me be?
Nothing short of everything, less or more
The joy pollution I hear, I’m here
Nothing less, nothing more

You have left a scar in me, that makes me see
The way my life should be, so real
No regrets, no restrains

You have left a scar in me
A scar in me that makes me see
The way my life should be
You have left a scar in me
