1. Seasons
It disturbs me to see that youīre growing old.
It concerns me to be the one you want to hold.
Too busy running on fuel, thank God you made it through.
Letīs spend the times weīve missed and turn these days to gold.
Too busy running on fuel, thank God you made it through.
Letīs spend the times weīve missed and turn these days to gold.
And turn these days to gold.
Lost as father and son.
Bring us back together as one.
Seasons change and so did your son.
Strife with emotions that canīt be one.
Too busy running on fuel, thank God you made it through.
Letīs spend the times weīve missed and turn these days to gold.
Want to hand you a piece, of my delicate heart.
This song is to uplift you and not to tear you apart.
Fatherīs lost in the mountains.
But no mountain I canīt see.
But if that mountain should crumble come crumble on top of me.
2. I Regret
I know my days are numbered.
Iīve been in and out of this phase.
But these days keep passing me by.
Good (god) never comes my way.
Try to sit back and relax.
Try and think of something good.
Something else and something pure.
I canīt but I know I should.
Things I should have said.
Things that I regret.
And I regret.
No more waiting for something better to come along.
Itīs much easier to change me than itīs to change them all.
Things I should have said and things that I regret.
I need to shed all my skin and start again.
Things I should have said.
Things that I regret.
And I regret.
And every turn I make is wrong.
I havenīt smiled in so long.
Shed my skin and start again.
Shed my skin and start again.
The memories that I once had,
of all the good good good good times we all used to have.
Shed my skin and start again
Shed my skin and start again
3. Lost At 22
If I knew what to do Iīd do it.
If I knew where to go Iīd get there someday.
If I knew where to fly Iīd fly away, forget about life for a while.
But it never is that easy to just pick up and go and do as youīre told like.
īcause life never works out that way.
If it were true the skies would be full everyday.
If I knew how to fly, Iīd fly away.
If I knew how to fly, Iīd fly away.
If I knew how to fly, I knew how to fly away.
Well Iīm lost at 22 and Iīve got no fucking clue.
No I donīt know if things will work out right.
Iīm lost and confused.
Iīm lost at 22 and I donīt know if my lifeīs gonna end up right.
īcause they keep on telling me that Iīm young, dumb and naive.
But thatīs just what they want me to believe.
Well Iīd rather be lost at sea than become part of this society.
Where the grass is always green and the air is always clean.
At least thatīs what they want me to believe.
At least thatīs what they want me to believe.
Iīm lost at 22.
Iīm lost at 22.
Iīm lost.
4. Other Side OfThe River
Thereīs blood on the floor and youīre not even moving.
Donīt really know if itīs mine or yours but you ainīt moving.
Eyes are wide as you grin at me.
You know thereīs a place where you rather would be.
If you should die and I survive, how could I go on knowing that Iīm still alive?
Here breathing.
Thereīs a beast thatīs living deep within me.
Forcing me to feed all my needs.
Yeah heīs in me.
And he brought us here to end our fears.
To wave goodbye to all of the tears.
To start a new live on the other side of the river.
Well my world would be over.
My world would be over.
Hold on, hold on, I wonīt be long.
Wait for me, man, I wonīt be long.
You were such in a rush to reach the other side.
Look at yourself with that look in your eye.
Smiling wide, pre-occupied with that river.
Well my world would be over.
My world would be over.
5. Letīs Pretend
In the stilness of the night my eyes are closed.
My mouth is wide.
I could see her face.
Her beautifull hair I could recognize.
She looks at me cold.
She probably donīt know who I am.
Mommy it is me, itīs Keith.
You had me back when...
But sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me, that she holds me.
Sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me, that she holds me.
I guess I canīt, īcause she doesnīt know who I am.
My mind itīs dreaming, God itīs so misleading.
Do you thing itīs īcause Iīve grown old.
Is it true that what I was told?
You cried to leave me?
You know I know itīs not your fault.
You had a husband who was (now youīre ?) selfish and cold.
Believe me I know.
And now I hear you used to treat me cold.
You disappeared and left me all alone.
Iīm sure you didnīt know right from wrong.
īcause both of you were always getting stoned.
But sometimes I like to pretend.
But sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me
Sometimes I like to pretend, that she holds me.
Sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me.
Sometimes I like to pretend, that she holds me.
I guess I canīt, īcause she doesnīt know who I am.
6. Ugly
Have you ever woke up screaming?
Have you ever woken alone?
When the walls around you wonīt stop laughing
Where do you go?
Sweat seeps in your eyes at night
And you realize
That no one understands you at all
Well I was bound to have a nervous breakdown
Shouldīve seen it coming from miles away
So I packed my bags and started running
My brainīs been shaking since yesterday
But thereīs only so far you can run boy
Thereīs only so far to leave your problems behind
īcause when the problemīs yourself you start thinking
No matter how far
Youīll never leave it behind
No one understands me at all
Now Iīm 22 with still no clue
Of who I am or what Iīm supposed to be
I know it to you it sounds funny
Youīve got it worked out like itīs a fuckinī disease
Started asking myself do I fit in?
Where I belong
Could this really be me?
Been feeling downright ugly
Tell me is this the way itīs supposed to be?
So whatīs the difference?
Youīre doing fine
The clock keeps ticking as you lose your mind
The one you need to call you
Never calls
Sweat seeps in your eyes at night
And you realize
That no one understands you at all
7. Drained
Theyīll make you or break you
Theyīll swallow you whole
Theyīll find you and bind you
To every word that they own
But you know that you need them
So you continue to feed them
So I hope that youīre in this
For all the right reasons
They canīt make you feel something you donīt believe in
But they can threathen your future
And everything in it
When you fail to remember just where youīve been
When you canīt tell up from down
How do you write from within?
And all I know is that theyīre
Theyīre trying to squeeze me dry
They told me
They own me
And all I know is that theyīre
Theyīre trying to squeeze me dry
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A man staring back at me who used to be me
He looks so familiar
He once had big dreams
But I can see that heīs been drained of his soul and integrity
8. How it would be
I wonder how it would be if my mother was still around
The types of talk
The relationships we could have had
The three of us
Me, you and Dad
My mouth went dry
My stomach felt queasy too
So empty and scared
Itīs all because of you
A dead body that turned out not to be dead
No one understands
Wish I really knew what happened to my mom
Because my family they told me nothing but lies
They figured if they just told me the truth
Iīd break down and cry
Feel betrayed and hurt
Profoundly insecure
Want to knock ten times on heavenīs door
Still suffering from old emotional wounds
I was getting worse
Canīt depend on them and their lies
Why did see leave?
How did she die?
And when it gets colder outside
Iīll be back next year
With that feeling to make me cry
Wanna go visit her grave
Because itīs been a long, long time
Want to pick a peach rose
And rest it on its side
Say a prayer eventhough I donīt believe
And say goodbye
Donīt get me wrong
I have a mind to keep me strong
But thereīs this feeling of not knowing what went wrong
And how sheīs dead and gone
Donīt think anyone thinks
Of you as much as I do
9. Unstable
This cancer is killing me
As much as it is killing you
If it takes you away from me
I donīt know what I would do
Just try for some peace of mind
But itīs so hard to find
Itīs so hard to just sit and wait
And wait some more
Staring at the door
Skim through the magazines
Pretend like everythingīs gonna be allright
Although you know it wonīt be
Unstable
Itīs hard to be the one whoīs strong
Heīs always got a shoulder to cry on
Heīs got a shoulder for me
When Iīm about to break down
Youīre (Whoīs ?) never around
But maybe itīs better that way
Youīve got enough to worry about
Youīve got your hands full, donīt you
Donīt you see?
This cancer is killing me
Like itīs killing you
Mentally
Unstable
And all I really want to know if sheīs gonna be allright
īcause sheīs been in there a long, long time
And Iīve been out there losing my mind
Youīre scared
Youīre frightened
Youīre so afraid of what he may say
But you try and be brave
For me sitting impatiently
In the lobby of emergency
You burst on through that door with this look on your face
Iīve never seen before
You explode into endless tears
Whisper in my ear
Baby
Baby
Iīve only got one more year
Unstable
10. Damned If I Do
Why do I feel so alone in a crowd of people I know
Is it wrong to feel so insecure so unappealing?
Why walk around in disguise with a fake grin on my face?
What would it prove?
What would I gain?
Iīd still feel so out of place
Damned if I do
Damned if I donīt
But I wonīt turn out like you
Midlife crisis at the age of 22
Who knew?
I need some answers
Cross the street and down the avenue
I stopped for the woman
Paid five bucks and got my palm read
And she said
You shouldnīt be smiling boy
This life line says youīre allready dead
Just keep on moving forward never turning back
But with every step ahead I take they pull me two steps back
They pull me two steps back
11. Fears
No one knows what itīs like
No one knows how it feels
Nothing else could compare to the fears I fear
And Iīve been on my own
Struggling all alone
And all I have are these clothes on my back and this song
I never had much I never believed I could be
Someone, somehow, somebody
Said goodbye to all my childhood hopes and dreams
Time to grow up and accept real life responsibilities
Listen
Wonīt you listen to the things I have to say
īcause it just might affect the way that you think about
How you live from day to day
It may be easy for you
But it seems like hell to me
12. Donīt You (Forget About Me)
Wonīt you come see about me
Iīll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Give it everything inside and out
Love strange, so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When our life gets in to your heart baby
Donīt you, forget about me
Donīt, donīt, donīt, donīt
Donīt you, forget about me
Donīt you, try and pretend
Itīs my feeling weīll win in the end
I wonīt harm you or touch your defences
Vanity, insecurity
Donīt you forget about me
Iīll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Come to, Iīll take you apart
Iīll put us back together at heart baby
Donīt you, forget about me
Donīt, donīt, donīt, donīt
Donīt you, forget about me
Donīt, donīt, donīt, donīt
Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me?
Rains keeps falling,
Rains keeps falling down.
Hey hey hey hey hoo yeah
Donīt you, forget about me
Donīt, donīt, donīt, donīt
But you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk away
When you walk away
When you walk away
Come on baby call my name
I say, will you call my name?
I say lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala........
Will you call my name, baby
Wonīt you please let me feel like ..?..
I know I feel you
Let me see my hands before you
Let me see your hands before me
I said why donīt you call my name
I need, want you to call my name
I need you to call my name
13. Coffee Break
The most comfortable place isnīt comfortable anymore
I feel so out of place
No one knows me for sure
I have this guilty conscience
And made an effort not to be me
I feel like a certain somebody
But I know I can be me
Too many people try to put me down
not accept me for me
I was insulted the other night
..... itīs not me
I try to sing my songs
But I have trouble with that too
The hardest thing to imagine
is what comes next
Donīt have strength donīt have courage
When youīre lacking confidence
I wonīt let this feeling end
īcause it might not come again
... and you know itīs not you
I try to sing my songs
But I have trouble with that too
The most comfortable place isnīt comfortable
Did you ever feel out of place?
īcause youīre not comfortable?
I wonīt let this feeling end
īcause it might not come again
14. Redemption Song
Oh pirates, yes they rob us
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
He fought in this generation
Triumphantly
(chorus)
Wonīt you help me sing
These songs of freedom
īcause all i ever had
Redemption song
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
īcause none oī them can stop the time
How long will they kill our prophets
While we stand around and look?
Some say itīs just a part of it
We gotīs to fulfill the book
