1.SHINOBI VS. DRAGON NINJA

Got it all too high
Got it figured out,
I wanna do whatever
Laugh until september
And I seem to think that you were once here with me
Maybe I was wrong
U were moving on
And I sit and wonder
Falling under
Get my way or nothing will move on
Everyone has gone
You feel so empty, but I've got me a friend
And I like it
And I know u say I can't care for someone
But are you that clever that you smile forever?
Is it summer yet?
Cause I just don't feel it
Baby it's a treaty
Maybe you are not her
And I sit and wonder, falling under
Get my way or nothing will move on
Everyone has gone.
You feel so empty, but I've got me a friend
And I like it, oh!
Say now, got it for all of me
How do I?

2.THE FAKE SOUND OF PROGRESS

Somebody told me that I always have to bow
if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
The more u think, the less u act their ways
so can u hear this, the fake sound of progress

Never reason with a fool, but is that unkind,
looks like I lost my mind once again
I know it all sounds so contrived, but its got to me
u know I've got to be more than this
don't frown, don't scorn, cause I walk a different street to u
u look so worn, i bet that life is has got you blown
but it will never get to me
somebody told me that I always have to bow
if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
the more u think, the less u act their ways
so can u hear this, the fake sound of progress
and I feel the way u hold, hold me back from this
chances that I've missed, now their gone
apathy is all I sense, the feelings too intense
sitting on a fence and cant decide
don't frown, don't scorn, cause I walk a different street to u
u look so worn, i bet that life is has got you blown
no body will ever get to me
somebody told me that I always have to bow
if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
the more u think, the less u act their ways
so can u hear this, the fake sound of progress

All these words that I accounted for, never fear another day
always charged but I need more, make me take away
tell me now, can u hear the sound
of all these people falling down
growing back into the ground let me smile again...
SWING IT

Tell me now can u hear the sound, of the record spinning
round and round, for on and on it sounds like the same old
song that I keep singing, it sounds like

dah dah dah dah (yeahyeah sounds like) dah dah dah dah
(all these words that I accounted for, I'll never fear another day always charged and I want more, make me take away, all these words that I accounted for, I'll never fear another day, it makes, me, take, away)

somebody told me that I always have to bow
if that was true I would have fallen apart by now
the more u think, the less you act their ways
so can you hear this, the fake sound of progress

yeah yeah yeah progress

make me smile again
(the fake sound of progress)

3.FIVE IS A FOUR LETTER WORD

(You wanna be a superstar... You gonna have to check out the style)
If you thought that I was leaving here
Can I find a way inside
Try to call it just an absence of faith
But I feel justified
You can't stare through this
There's nothing left in my heart
Bye for now
Just too long
There's no end in sight
Wot am I for
To be hurt more
I just don't like it here with yourself
I cant like u
Want to burn u
I wish u were dead

Cos if its hard you want out its no fun
Got left with everything
Behind your smile forget that I was left with everything
Never the same to me
Never the same to me
Never the same to me
Never the same
Its never the same
Once you played up to the end
Stop the noise
Get nowhere with your current state of mind
I even wonder why you're here please stay at home
Killing my laughter
Hurting my insides
You are played

Wot am I here for
To be hurt more
I just don't like it here with yourself
I cant like you
Want to burn you
I wish you were dead
Cos if its hard you want out its no fun
Got left with everything
Behind your smile forget that I was left with everything
Never the same to me
Never the same to me
Never the same to me
Never the same

If you thought that I was leaving here
Can I find a way inside
Try to call it just an absence of faith
But I feel justified
If its hard you want out its no fun got left with
Everything
Behind your smile forget that I was left with everything
Never the same to me
Never the same to me
Never the same to me
Never the same

(It's how I feel yeah its how I'm made yeah....)


4....AND SHE TOLD ME TO LEAVE

and to it all
falling down
who's in touch with everyone who ever stood their ground?
if you could then i know i do to
lost inside a maze of problems with you

is it so hard
every time i say
won't you come and fight with me
because if i thought i were you

you know, if i thought i were you,
time and time again
and if i did we won't be friends

and tell me i'm brought down again
never the one i'd explain

can't you ..., don't you lie

and if i did we won't be friends

and tell me, i'll fall down again
never the one, i'll explain

so answer that you never know

its so hard, so hard

cos i feel alive and it feels alright
keep on telling me that its over please
and i feel the one
lying in the sun
(could i, should i, would i....)

i wont let you pass
but my guard is up
and you stole his care
(could i, should i, would i....)

6.HANDSOME LIFE OF SWING

{Write to someone, Let the subject burn,
If It's slow for my reply then ignore the wait,
But as long as you want everything and as long as you won't ever do,
Return, Return, Return to you}

Point the blame, Push the blame, Who's to blame today?
Point your finger, Lose your mind, All you do is pray,
Look out, Get down, Fall down, Your masquerade will do,
But in time my friend we all will see right through.

Inside won't be here to stay,
King for a day, That's all I'll say.

{Such a party bum, You should know that right away,
Let the subject burn, and wish that all the fucking time, ??}

Point the blame, Push the blame, Who's to blame today?
Point your finger, Lose your mind, All you do is play.
Look out, Get down, Fall down, Your masquerade will do,
But in time my friend we all will see right through.

Yes, in time, won't be here to stay,
King for a day, That's all I'll say.

But here, Thought I got a home,
Sit down, Got a home,
Got a home, Got a home,
Got home, and I know.


7.A THOUSAND APOLOGIES

SO AFRAID!
Thoughts come my way,
LOSE IT ALL!
But it was nothing anyway,
WHAT'S DONE IS DONE!
And I know I'll be saved,
In time you will,
SO MOVE ON!
God said he'd help me through,

And you're all very proud,
When there's nothing left to steal,
And I feel, so real, it scares me.

And have I ever asked for more?

BETRAYED!
My plans award me,
IT'S NEVER UP TO ME!
I know that I'll break,
HOW FAR KID?!
Coz from here it looks like a long way down, I can't climb back up,
That's keeping me from you,

And you're all very proud,
When there's nothing left to steal,
And I feel, so real, it scares me.

And have I ever asked for more?
Was I that Insecure?

Can't you stick out your fears, can't you push them out some more, yeah
Can't you stick out your fears, can't you push them out some more, yeah

I...know...it's...all...in there...but I...can't see...
I CAN'T SEE THAT FAR!!
WOOOO!
Yeah!

Those who made up time, now what's it gonna be? ARGH!
Something, something's wrong, something's wrong, something's very WRONG! ARGH!

Please...can...I...have...more...time?
...If I see you again, I'll laugh right in your face.


8.STILL LAUGHING

come take a look,
because all this could mean that i,
don't really care who ends up getting hurt
please take a look
if its judgment vs. instinct
how do i feel
when my feelings don't even work
know that i'll be there
cos i can see it in your smile
time stood still for me
when u call
said i
answer me this
yes all i have is questions
you cant slip away and hide behind a false truth
time takes too long
just seems like i'm still standing here now
and i can't even feel the rain that hits my shores
know that i'll b there
cos i can see it in your eyes
time stood still for me
when u call

i'm still waiting
i still breathe
that's a sign that i'm still me
i'm still breathing
i can see
so i must b alive for real
when will i get there
i should be here by now
got it all worked out
did i see you laughing
yet funny, its not me
in time all i want is it away
got too long and now its gone, its gone

i'm still waiting
i still breathe
that's a sign that i'm still me
i'm still breathing
i can see
so i must b alive for real
so i must b alive for real
yeah so i must b alive for real
so i must b alive for real


9.FOR SURE

if i can walk 1000 miles a day i try
to do it cos i don't know if u really say
i think i saw the sky tonight
pushing through it feels alright
and i just don't know who i want to be

and every time i see your face i laugh out loud
acting hot your fitting in with all the crowd
and if i could i'd stop the time
and ask you for a clever line
and just because i know you won't give it to me

its raining hard again here now
that'll never change
lets start a war
so who's to blame
when it starts to rain down

at times i think that all i need is summer sun
burning in my eyes and breaking through the trees
at times i feel my place is empty
it looks as though i never met me
but my smile does only show one side of me
and i can show you a little slice of everyone
laughing in the dark i think your having fun
the sunlight in your face that time
washes away all the grime
makes me forget just how much i hate you tonight

its raining hard again here now
that'll never change
lets start a war
so who's to blame
when it starts to rain down

yeah yeah yeah...

lets start a war
so who's to blame
when it starts to rain
starts to rain
starts to rain
starts to rain
starts to rain down


10.AWKWARD

Yes I feel your words but I do not hear them
don't you think its strange that time will not support my truth
why not,

answer

Yes I thought of you it all comes too easily
how come I don't see the world like you have I got my
eyes closed, I don't think so

And now I save the world and its all I can believe
smiles stand still on your face,
not too late for me
here I stand, I laugh when I see the world you're in
smiles stand still on your face
but its not too late for me

Now it's gone, can we start again, start anew
will it follow us back down
can it go through life without a frown, oh no

And now I save the world and its all I can believe
smiles stand still on your face
but its not too late for me
here I stand and I laugh when I see the world you're in
smiles stand still on your face,
but its not too, but its not too late for me

[Repeat (x3)]
(does change, but I cant make it out behind the 'its not too late for me's.)

11.ODE TO SUMMER

Got to say,
I am there,
And, you are for,
I had our best times,
Had it our way, best times, but it's all I count...

Sit down, my soul, I told you that my time is up
and i'm falling down,
got it all worked out,
now I say to you that you would

but if it ever came down to one day,
one day left in a thousand,
the last good times of summer,
are the last few minutes of warmth,
remember what it was like to enjoy our time,
before we all go back to school and learn,
before our eyes turn grey again,
and we forget what it was ever like to feel awake, to feel awake,

so is this why i feel so cold?
there's to much panic i've been told,
and everytime i show, i see the way it used to go,
i need to see that every year, not to hear it just so clear,
so clear...

the nights were so much hotter then ,we all hung out and made amends,
it's like you can't go back but hearing that just makes me want to,
call my friends, tell them that i'm coming HOME!!

so down, inside...

So why don't i face it, why can't i face it?
So why don't i face it?
So why don't i face it?
So why don't i face it?
So why don't i face it?

the nights were so much hotter then ,we all hung out and made amends,
it's like you can't go back but knowing that just makes me want to,
call my friends, tell them that i'm coming HOME!!

So why don't i face it, why can't i face it?
So why don't i face it, why can't i face it?
So why don't i face it, why can't i face it........
