Song lyrics by me.

PINS AND NEEDLES --------------------------

Pins and needles. Hanging by a thread. Pins and needles. Can't wait for what's ahead. Something's coming. You never thought it would. Something's coming. You know it's something good.

Pins and needles. Shout it out loud. Pins and needles. Tell the world what it's about. Something's coming. You can't believe it's true. Something's coming. You never thought would happen to you.

-(CHORUS)- Do you feel your heartbeat pounding. Do you feel your temperature rising. Do you have a thousand thoughts spinning inside your brain. Do you feel a little uneasy. Do you feel shaky and queasy. Do you tell yourself you'll never be the same again.

Are you on pins and needles. Waiting for the news. Pins and needles. Is someone telling you. Something's happening. Is it something good. Something's happening. I think it's gonna be a brand new life for you.

-(CHORUS)- Do you feel your heartbeat pounding. Do you feel your temperature rising. Do you have a thousand thoughts spinning inside your brain. Do you feel a little uneasy. Do you feel shaky and queasy. Do you tell yourself you'll never be the same again.

JURY RIGGED LOVE ------------------------------

I see your at it again. Thinking you're gonna find a way to win. But how can you really live that way. One minute at a time. Barely making it through from day to night. Racking your brains just trying to think of what to say.

-(BRIDGE #1)- Trying to build a feeling. From parts that aren't there. Trying to make emotions. By telling yourself how much you care.

-(CHORUS)- It's a jury rigged love. An improvised barely alive relation. A patchwork passion hanging by thread. It's a jury rigged love. A played out, ad-libbed temporary sensation. Faking your way until you've had enough. But that's not love.

So what's your plan today. Gonna try again to find another way. To do what you've done so many times before. You're still playing the game. But you know it's always the same. Rolling the dice hoping each time. It'll turn into something more.

-(BRIDGE #2)- Holding on to a notion. There's a heart you haven't fund. Trying to build emotions. From made up feelings scattered on the ground.

MIDNIGHT ON THE SECOND DAY ----------------------------------------------------

She touched me then she kissed me She told me there's no waiting When she held me close I should have known When she loved me I really should have seen How dangerous this was gonna be

-(CHORUS)- It was midnight on the second day And she was stealing my soul away Taking everything and leaving me for dead I was fighting for my very life Trying just to survive the night I should have looked closer for the danger ahead Don't think I'm gonna see the light again

I wanted it when She came to me The feeling made me too blind to see Maybe it was all just a little too much When it's wrong it's wrong and I should've know I felt the heat and now here comes the cold

-(CHORUS)- It was midnight on the second day And she was stealing my soul away Taking everything and leaving me for dead I was fighting for my very life Trying to just survive the night I should have looked closer for the danger ahead Don't think I'm gonna see the light again

-(BRIDGE)- Rush, rush, rush Into her touch I wanted her love Now I think it's time to run

How can you think with a clear mind.                                                               Out here on the streets.                                                                                     How can you feel anything at all.                                                                  When you don’t know where you’ll be.                                                                  Tomorrow is colorless and blind.                                                                           Cold and unforgiving.                                                                                            When the world leaves you behind.

-(CHORUS)-                                                                                                          And all the good things you remembered.                                                             Have faded from your mind.                                                                                  And all the things that you were living for.                                                             Have disappeared with time.                                                                                 And you don’t know where you’re going.                                                               Or where you’re sleeping tonight.                                                                         And the only roof above you.                                                                                Is nothing but the sky.                                                                                                                                                                                                                        How can you find a new direction.                                                                         Out in the pouring rain.                                                                                         How can you keep believing.                                                                                 When the sun beats down again.                                                                          Tomorrow is just an empty place.                                                                          Cold and dark and endless.                                                                                  When the world throws you away.                                                                                                                                                                                      -(CHORUS)-                                                                                                         And all the good things you remembered.                                                             Have faded from your mind.                                                                                 And all the things that you were living for.                                                             Have disappeared with time.                                                                               And you don’t know where you’re going.                                                              Or where you’re sleeping tonight.                                                                       And the only roof above you.                                                                               Is nothing but the sky.  

-(BRIDGE)-                                                                                                            There’s another storm coming.                                                                         What are you gonna do.                                                                                     When the summer heat burns your hope away.                                                   Who will shelter you. 

Where do you go.                                                                                            When you don’t know where you’re going.                                                     What do you say.                                                                                           When you don’t know what to say at all.                                                             How do you find the answers.                                                                                To questions so unclear.                                                                                     Who do you ask.                                                                                                   And if they answered would you even hear.

-(CHORUS)-                                                                                                   When you’re lost.                                                                                              And the hope inside has died.                                                                        How do you find the will to even try.                                                                When you’re down and out.                                                                                  Nothing seems to matter anymore.                                                                 The void inside won’t even let you cry.                                                                  You try to survive.                                                                                            But all you can do is wonder how.                                                                         A voice inside is screaming.                                                                               It’s all but over now.

Who do you know.                                                                                              When friends have disappeared now.                                                                What do you say.                                                                                         When there’s no one there to hear you at all.                                            Where do you look.                                                                                      When you’re not sure what you’re looking for.                                               What do you do.                                                                                          When you feel like you have finally lost it all.

-(CHORUS)-                                                                                                   When you’re lost.                                                                                             And the hope inside has died.                                                                        How do you find the will to even try.                                                               When you’re down and out.                                                                                 Nothing seems to matter anymore.                                                                 The void inside won’t even let you cry.                                                                  You try to survive.                                                                                            But all you can do is wonder how.                                                                         A voice inside is screaming.                                                                               It’s all but over now.

-(BRIDGE)-                                                                                                       My heart is breaking.                                                                                             My body’s aching from the cold.                                                                            I feel too old to run away.

STRONGER THAN YOU ----------------------------------

What did you see When you looked at me Or did you really look at all What did you want When you fired that shot Did you get a thrill seeing me fall

-(BRIDGE #1)- What did it mean to you When you were in that moment Did killing someone's soul Make you feel alive

-(CHORUS #1)- Would it make you crazy To know that I survived You couldn't kill me No matter how you tried If you could see me now You would see it's true When it comes down to it I'm stronger than you

If you were here After all these years Would you still remember me Was I the only one Or were there others I wonder how cold you could be

-(BRIDGE #2)- What was behind your eyes When you were in that moment Did breaking someone's heart Help you to survive

-(CHORUS #2)- Would it make you crazy To know that they survived You couldn't kill thier spirits No matter how you tried If you could see them now You would see it's true When it comes down to it They were stronger than you

SIXTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLAR QUESTION -------------------------------------------------------------------

The sixty four thousand dollar question I think you need to ask yourself right now Are you really where you wanted to be If you can't give yourself an answer You already know what the answer is Wipe away the tears and do what you have to do You know it's time to set yourself free

It's time to move on It's time to move on

The sixty four thousand dollar question I ask myself almost every day Have I really found what I've been looking for As much as I hate to admit it The truth is staring me in the face I've been spinning my wheels over and over again Still trying to find what I need

So I keep moving on I just keep moving on

It can drive you crazy Looking at what you have And thinking you still need so much more The day's gonna come When you'll have to stop and wonder Do you really need to search anymore

The sixty four thousand dollar question I think we're asking ourselves now When I look in the mirror what do I see Is the person looking back who I wanted to be

DAYS TO REMEMBER ---------------------------------

Won't you walk with me Down along the river Where the peaceful water flows Looking into your eyes When I hold you close Another perfect chance to let you know

-(CHORUS)- These are days to remember Moments I'll keep for all my life Something made for forever Nobody can take it away These are days to remember Moments good till the end of time From now on through forever Yours and mine

Won't you lie with me Here on the cool soft grass Beneath this old oak tree Letting the time go by Feeling a summer breeze Nothing else on my mind but you here with me

-(CHORUS)- These are days to remember Moments I'll keep for all my life Something made for forever Nobody can take it away These are days to remember Moments good till the end of time From now on through forever Yours and mine

-(BRIDGE)- Minute to minute Hour to hour Taking on the world with you This it what it means to be alive

AWARD WINNING PERFORMANCE --------------------------------------------------

You should be an actress I know you'd be a superstar You're so good at the masquerade Hiding who you really are You said every line so good Even had a light in your eyes I was almost dead inside Before I finally realized

-(CHORUS)- It was an award winning performance You made me believe you really cared An award winning performance Made me think you'd always be there

Tell me do you practice Playing your part everyday Or does it come naturally Knowing what you need to say Can you let the lines flow And make the tears fall easily What ever it is you've got It was almost the end of me

-(CHORUS)- It was an award winning performance You made me believe you really cared An award winning performance Made me think you'd always be there

-(BRIDGE)- Do you listemn for the cheers Thank the ones that got you here Are so lost in yourself You still can't see at all

ANGELS OF ARMAGEDDON ----------------------------------------

Angels of armageddon Walked out of forever's door Sailing out across the seven seas To the five lands of man To begin once again

Riders of spirit horses Sent out by the kings command Heading out across a shattered world To the corners of the earth To begin once more

-(CHORUS)- To be written in some Future verse and chapter The story of the end of times And the morning of rebirth They're waiting there In some far off tomorrow On the winds of hope To raise a brand new world

From the horn of Gabriel A song of new beginnings Carried on the wings of time Into the hearts of man And the angels come again

UNTIL THE WAR IS WON ----------------------------------

You took a shot You took a shot at the heart You raised a sword at the land of the free You thought that we would fall apart

-(BRIDGE)- The news isn't good for your little band of killers Running in the dark We're still alive and you know we're gonna find you Wherever you are

-(CHORUS)- We're gonna find you Like a hammer in the hand of god Coming down like a bolt of lightning from above We're gonna find you And the battle has only just begun We won't give up until the war is won

Somewhere within Somewhere within the heart There's a fire in the home of the brave And it burns like the sun through the dark

-(BRIDGE #2)- The news isn't good for your little band of killers Hiding in the night We're still alive and you know we're getting ready You're running out of time

WHEN IT COMES BACK ----------------------------------

You knew it was wrong but you did it any way You couldn't help yourself and now there's nothing to say It's a big mistake and it's gonna follow you You can't take it back there's nothing you can do

-(CHORUS #1)- There's nowhere to hide When it comes back around You'll be wondering why When it knocks you to the ground You already did what you did And there's really no telling when When it comes back to you again

I knew it was wrong and you played her for a fool She's living with the pain 'cause that's what she got from you It's a bad memory haunting everything she sees How does she let it go and set her heart free

-(CHORUS #2)- There's nowhere to hide When it comes back around You'll be wondering why When it's got you falling down You already did what you did And you won't know where or when When it comes back to you again

-(BRIDGE)- Don't let the past come back to haunt you Don't do the things you should never do Someday it'll be the end of you And when it comes what will you do

GATHERING OF ANGELS ------------------------------------

Can you feel it There's a wolf prowling in the night Roaming in the darkness Can you hear it There is music playing in the night I want to know the singer

-(BRIDGE #1)- There's a lady dreaming tonight She's gonna wreck the devils design And together we will all rise

-(CHORUS)- It's a gathering of angels Here to share this world of lights It's a gathering of angels That started something that feels so right

Where are you now All those voices in the night I know you're out there Do you know it We built this place just for you Let your heart and soul come through

-(BRIDGE #2)- If you're only here for the song Just reach out for a friend And somebody will sing along

-(CHORUS)- It's a gathering of angels Here to share this world of lights It's a gathering of angels That started something that feels so right

-(BRIDGE #3)- So many names, so many faces So many stories, so many places Reaching out across the miles Come on in and stay awhile

-(CHORUS)- It's a gathering of angels Here to share this world of lights It's a gathering of angels That started something that feels so right

ONE TROUBLE TO ANOTHER -------------------------------------------

Well here I am again Not quite sure where I've been The days are running together And I'm fighting just to survive I'm running out of money Got nothing left to sell It's getting hard to get up in the morning When you feel like hope has all but died

-(CHORUS)- Going from one trouble to another And bad luck is nipping at your heels You can't help wondering 'bout tomorrow When you beg, borrow or steal just to stay alive

When I heard the telephone I let it ring, there's nobody home Already knew who it was Someone wanting money I don't have I facing life on the street I think frustration is killing me It's getting hard to face another morning When you can't recall the last good day you had

-(CHORUS)- Going from one trouble to another And bad luck is nipping at your heels You can't help wondering 'bout tomorrow When you beg, borrow or steal just to stay alive

-(BRIDGE)- Life's not supposed to be this way I'm falling into a deadly game I turned on the t.v. news And wondere how to survive again

FOR THE FIRST TIME ---------------------------------

Sit there in your easy chair And let the day pass you by I don't think you even care But I know the reason why

-(BRIDGE #1)- She's gone and it's killing you A little every day and night You lost everything in her that was your very life

-(CHORUS)- For the first time you feel all alone This is something that you've never known Years of memories are all but gone No one can say if you're right or wrong Somehow it seems just like a crime Trying to live alone for the first time

I thought I saw you smile The first time in quite a while I know you're trying hard But missing her tears you apart

-(BRIDGE 2)- It's still so hard to understand No matter how hard you try You lost everything in her That made you feel alive

-(CHORUS)- For the first time you feel all alone This is something that you've never known Years of memories are all but gone No one can say if you're right or wrong Somehow it seems just like a crime Trying to live alone for the first time

FROM EIGHTEEN ON --------------------------------

When I was young I remember The girl living down the street I didn't even know back then If she ever noticed me Things changed as time went by I can't deny I was a fool What I tried to say to her Came out wrong but I think she knew

-(CHORUS)- From eighteen on She was a woman And I had to be a man Forget the fears of a little boy And look at that girl again From eighteen on Everything was different I had to learn about love I realized I needed her And I'd never be the same again

Now that I'm so much older I know she never would have been The one I would spend my life with But it was a dream way back then Now she's living her life somewhere else And I found a love of my own But in that time I remember Thinking without her I'd be alone

-(CHORUS)- From eighteen on She was a woman And I had to be a man Forget the fears of a little boy And look at that girl again From eighteen on Everything was different I had to learn about love I realized I'd make it without her But I'd never be the same again

DON'T BUY WHAT YOU DON'T NEED -----------------------------------------------------

Don't sing your own praises When you're acting like a fool Don't act like you're ten feet tall When you know it just ain't true Don't tell yourself you are All you're living for Don't buy what you don't need Don't take what isn't yours

-(CHORUS #1)- If you're living a lie 'Cause you can't face the truth You better realize Someday it'll be the end of you

If you go believing You're the one that knows it all You'll be there all alone When your backs against the wall Don't say your the king of the mountain If you can't take care of your own Don't try to blame someone else When it's clear you should have known

-(CHORUS #1)- You're playing a game You know you can't win You better realize It'll be the end of you again

If you believe that you are All you're living for You're buying what you don't need Until no one cares anymore
