I Heart...(unmixed)

Now there's no one left to be
so stay where you are
and you'll find your destiny
awaits you now
change the faces you impress on
the rest is just a test
these walls were made to climb

look away, and be concerned
or you'll never learn

if you haven't found your place you'll learn
what you love, it's time to watch and see
exposing everything!
patient waiting for the door to open
step into this dream
mold it into your own machine!

resisting thoughts
you'll never live your dreams
and be alive
they are the ones
keeping you in doubt.

The Beholder (rough)

This song is one of my favorites and very personal lyrics. I was sick for a few months when I wrote this.

This weight upon my shoulders
keeps me up at night
if i don't sleep before too long i'll lose my head
fold and crash, i need to settle out
just one last thing, i need perfection.
all I wanted, was to take a dream, and make it real.

Please tell me in your own words.
Have I direction? or am I lost?
All or nothing
I will make this work
I'm sacrificing, all that i've got
just to savor the final.

Not The End

Today is the day

Sorry for the quality, we had shitty streams back in the days of a dialup modem. Thanks, to Kevin@Eternal Beats for digging this up.

                              

EternalBeats.net live breaks set - Sometime in the late 90's early 2000's

Literally some of the sickest, meanest, breaks known to man. They don't make em like they used to. Please excuse the quality of this, it's ripped from Eternal Beats website streams back in the late 90's - early 2000's. A lot of my friends will remember this mix. Epic tracks.

So long, Goodbye

I have a thought i'll grab my pen
knowing that i'll talk to myself
but i'd like to rewind
back to a time
and drift into the ink i see
it's such a masterpiece to me
think of what i know
and might truly feel

maybe i could make a difference some day
if i could would i make a change!

having fun
and never letting myself down
how could i now?
i've come so far
i never thought i would
and now the time is upon us all
aching to play
an eager soul
these feelings flow right within our hearts
so never give up on what you love
we're running out of time to make this song!

sometimes these words don't come out right
it seems impossible tonight
sleep on because you can't force perfection
and it's critical you see
to let it come natural to me
think of what i know, and might truly be!

maybe i could make a difference someday
and if i could would i make a change?

having fun
and never letting myself down
how could i now?
i've come so far
i never thought i would
and now the time is upon us all
aching to play
an eager soul
these feelings flow right within our hearts
so never give up on what you love
we're running out of time to make this song!

It's impossible tonight
as i lay, wide awake
cause if i wait and see
it'll come to me

i can't write these feelings away
it stings even more here
this chills creeping on me now

I can't stand here
walk away
may as well bleed thinking all this
just to get by

How do you get by?


I like to play(radio vers)  - Click for Lyrics

Hey yea! Friend!
Now that the night  is in
play for now
taken for, a ride
assuming we
should just enjoy ourselves
we're not thinking
i'm not surprised
to say, so much for us

i could never expect too much
i know who you've become
this is a mistake
i'll find my way and leave
take care of yourself
when i get home i'll be fine
how could i be so naive
i'm left here wondering

you never return my call
you make me feel like i did something wrong
not even a single gesture to be a friend
to be a friend.

Now i heard!
now i heard i was your trophy!

better go better find
the one who keeps you in her eyes
let her go, better find
the one who came to see you smile
better go better find 

I'm not promising much
cause this can't be real

I know that we drank too much
surely we'll have fun
spinning by this late
i feel you guessing me
now how can we be friends
if your teasing leave it be
it's kind of messed up that you'd
leave him here for me!

as i turn, to open the door
your clothes, already on the floor
how can I, turn you away
you're so beautiful to me
what am i trying for?

i'm not promising much
this can't be real
i'm only falling for your comfort

I can see through you!

Dime a Dozen(radio vers) - Click for Lyrics

This life!
I didn't ask for
so don't play me like i should be happy
This way!
You don't know
what it's like to feel as if
your all on your own
And one more time i'll take the beating, move on
one more callus has formed

Can you see?
Can you feel?
the faith dissolve
I've awakened and you'll say
you'll never understand

If you don't come out today
see your son
you never will again!
you'll look back on
this day!
and forever, will you
never going to say
i'll make a better way.

Lies! Promises lies! 
Excuses, don't try to convince us it's useless
Useless!!
You're damned right to no end
I wouldn't even walk in your step

and one more time i'll take the beating
move on..
one more callus has formed

Live!
With the pieces you left behind
crawl back in your hold
ashamed to show your face around
these parts.

You'll never be here, so why do i care
some part of me, wants to hold on

So come on out, see yourself in me!
you can set your own future
still you won't accept the past
can't you see
your forgiven
there's still some road ahead
to make this right again
this life's your only chance!

Final Protocol - Shame - Click for Lyrics

I lose
much more
than you think i do

maybe this has come between
reasons that i can't explain
i can't help but to think of this dejavu
it's like i'm here for a reason not there with you
i think i'm understanding fine
i think i understand just fine, yea...no

should have known it's obvious from the get go
now tell me
have i escaped from my own death blow
everything can change
just in moments as you've seen
all around without notice

but this is me!
come set me free!
come set me free from what consumes all of me.
