The Fear 06:24
Maybe I'm just paranoid Maybe I'm afraid Maybe I just want a girl Who isn't getting paid Maybe I'm a fool to think The darker feelings fade Maybe I'm not brave enough To call the friend I've made Maybe all the things that I believed Were really wrong Reality was forcing me To sing a different song I was being foolish And I knew it all along Sometimes I feel I don't belong You must be crazy, a goddamn fool To hold your dreams so near Reality was closing in on me I could feel the fear Maybe it's just me who thinks I'm up against the wall I realize that you're the one Expecting me to crawl Am I very wrong To think you'd like to see me fall? Maybe it's a sad mistake to call you friends at all Sometimes I feel I don't belong I'll never forget the way I felt You told me that you lied And though I knew not to depend on it I couldn't help but to know my blood was petrified

It's been a while, and I've been thinking, Maybe after all I still don't belong, And everyone says I'd be really better off, Going home to meet my life half-way, But time and time again, we've been thinking of the future, When all the visions go the other way, And we don't have to care about ourselves and about each other, When all we say or do just drifts away It doesn't matter here, you can go or you can stay But after all this time I'd think that you'd have tried, And people they talk, well, people will talk about our love, But it doesn't matter here, it's all alright...

Cynda 04:24
Days without you Are sometimes shattering This feeling I'm catching I need you Nights without you Seem a bit darker, Cynda shine some light I love you I'll go without you Someway, somehow, The way I feel inside I need you Without you Forever without you, I'll just dream in sleep You loved me...
4.
I could say I needed you everywhere I go, And I could sing every love song that I know, And I could hide all my feelings deep inside But no, I'm independent I'm not a stepping stone, And if you want my sympathy You'll have to be alone, Look up and see the angels They're falling from the sky, We're victims of each other And no one knows just why Every time you lie You're getting harder to believe, And every time you tell the truth You break the web you weave.
5.
Stripped of my stripes, I gave up my life, Committing commercial crimes, No one standing in the line but me No one standing in the line but me Thrown by the wind, I cast out a cry, Committing commercial crimes, No one standing still in time but me No one standing still in time but me

The Old Man 01:31
The wind blows by I'm happy I am Changing the likes Of this dirty old man And now he hopes That his luck will soon change But now we find He's playing the same game How long can it stay the same?
