Initiation

Ohhhhh...I lay and wait for the world to fade away
Or anyone who can take me from this dark and hellish dream
No don't you even try to revive me I can't stay
A strange mutation has taken over but only I can see

Now the initiation has begun
For this new life of wicked immortality
Why oh why oh and what have I become
Not even you and your best intentions can save me from me

Oh...A strange new feeling is coming over me
I tried to fight but it overcame me and now what's done is done
Nooo...Don't try to save me there's nothing left of me
The darkness inside me will soon take you over now's your chance to run

Now the initiation has begun
For this new life of wicked immortality
Why oh why oh and what have I become
Not even you and your best intentions can save me from me

(Tony Sonic Vocals)
You're right that I can't see it everything around me starts to fade
Life without you sure ain't easy but I know that this too will change
Won't you hold on take it easy because my heart is in your hands
I know you don't understand me but after all I'm just a man

Ohhhhh...So stay away or I'll entice you in with me
Your blind attraction has led you into this trap you can't escape
Oooh...Can you feel it crawl beneath your skin
You should have listened but now it's too late you've joined me in this fate....

Remember Me

Haunting my dreams I just can't go on being without you
It's killing me still I continue dreaming about you
Insanity feeling so hopeless since you were taken
Inside of me memories stirring my heart is aching

What have I done anyway
To deserve this life of bitter misery
Why have you gone away
You left me all alone in bleeding agony

I can't replace what has been stolen brutally from me
I cannot face my broken future alone eternally
A life erased in one sudden moment fate is so unkind
Memories laced with both joy and sorrow I'm losing my mind

What have I done anyhow
To deserve this life of bitter misery
But I must go on for now
I'll see you in another life so remember me

Desire

Voices start screaming in my head
Every time you walk into the room
Warning I should distance myself
I'd be wise not to take a chance on you

My desire-ah...ah..ah..ah..ah..-So strong it can't be pushed aside
I could never put my trust in you
But I can't get you out of my mind

Go away with your lies and deception
I have no need for that in my life
Don't try to lead me in the wrong direction
Just stay away I know I'll be just fine

Ooohhh...ooh..oh.oh.oooh

Anytime I sleep you haunt my dreams
Leave me powerless with your wicked stare
Go to open my mouth but there's no scream
Try to run away but you're everywhere

My desire-ah..ah..ahh..ah..ahh-So strong that it cannot be ignored
I know I should have pushed you away
But you've got me begging you for more
My desire-ah..ah..ah..ah..ahh-So strong it can't be pushed aside
Though I never put my trust in you
Your eyes still burn in my mind

Voices keep screaming in my head
Only growing louder all along
Figured out how to cast you away from me
Still your burning prescence lingers on......

Changes

Ohhh I'm mystified
More and more everyday
No words describe
What's it matter anyway

Hey...ey..ey... Changes I can't take
I know that nothing ever stays the same
Oh but I am just not ready
To play this damn game

Guess I'll start again
Like so many times before
Make a whole new plan
Open up another door

Or..or..or......Changes time to face
This brand new beginning with open arms
Just believe that this time nothing will turn out wrong
Be not afraid of starting over now the past is gone

Ohhhh I'm mystified
More and more everyday
It's a complete new life
And I'm happy now to say....hey..ey..ey....

Changes...comin' my way...hey ay

Changes......

Sorry

Oh you say you can't believe me cuz' actions speak louder than words
I know one day you're gonna see it for so much more than you've ever heard
No but you don't want to hear me

Oh I'd never want to hurt you
It kills me knowing I caused you pain
Just please believe when I tell you I'm sorry
I swear I'll try not to do it again

Oh, you think that I don't love you, I simply express my feelings differently
I guess it takes some getting use to, please don't let it turn you away from me
Oh I'm trying hard to show you

Oh I'd never want to hurt you
It kills me knowing I caused you pain
Just please believe when I tell you I'm sorry
I swear I'll never let you down again

Now I know you don't believe me, It's my own fault you won't listen to me
How can I just make you see it, you have no idea how much you mean to me
Oh, this time I hope you'll hear me.....

Running So Far Away

I try to hide locked up inside my mind
Afraid of what I'll find so I just want to hide
Look deep into my eyes madness is all you'll find
I keep it locked inside feels like my soul has died

Running so far away I'm running faster why can't I get away, oh no I'm
Trying to get away I'm going faster how can I get away, hey hey no
I want to fly away I'm running faster when will I fly away, oh God now
I've got to get away I'm falling faster I know I'll get away

Time slips away passes before my eyes
Every night and day I lay all alone and cry
Nothing but shades of grey living inside my lie
Nothing more to say I just want to run away

Faster, faster, running faster
Faster, faster, falling oh I'm
Faster, faster, fly so far away...away

I try to hide locked up inside my mind
Afraid of what I'll find feels like my soul has died
Time slips away passes before my eyes
Nothing more to say I want to run away

Faster, faster, running faster
Faster, faster, falling oh I'm
Faster, faster fly so far away...away

Faster, faster, falling faster
Faster, faster, running oh no
Faster, faster fly so far away

Forgotten

Forgotten, I'm always the last one to know
Faded Forgotten, all I've ever been
Tell me you love me it sure doesn't show
Words are so empty when the meaning's unseen

You tell me I'm wrong when I question your love
But I've got so many reasons to disbelieve
Years go by and it's always the same
Still the little black sheep noone seems to need

Forgotten I never find acceptance I seek
You'll never truly realize the pain that I feel
Not that you'd care if I tried to explain
But the emptiness inside me is all too real

You tell me I'm wrong when I question your love
But I've got so many reasons to disbelieve
Years go by and it's always the same
Still the little black sheep noone seems to need

Forgotten it feels like I'm fading away
Will you even miss me when I'm gone
Will you look back and wish you'd expressed your love
Or will you simply forget like you have all along

Fading Away

Time seems to go by so quickly these days
I turn around and one more is gone
I watch as the clock ticks the seconds away
Then the minutes, the hours and on and on

Thinking back on times that have faded away
I long to go back to the days of my youth
I wonder if my life is wasting away
Only the future will reveal the truth

Memories of times that I'd hoped would last
Are fading away so far and so fast
I'd love to get back to that time in the past
But I know that I've got to keep movin' on

The future still holds so many new hopes and fears
Maybe one day I'll be happy with the place I'm in
If I'm gonna move ahead then I'd better change gears
And never give up or give in

Say So Long

(start singing 6 measures after music is added to the drums)

You think you're so perfect I've got news for you
Perfection ain't easy and you haven't got a clue
Believe it or not, I won't beg you to stay
You think I'm wrapped around your finger but I'm walking away

Oh, you think you're so cool, but you're not
And now I'm gone
You took me for a fool, well guess what
It's time to say so long...

(3 measure break)

I know you think you're so special but soon you will find
You're especially dull except inside your own mind
So ready or not, I'm walking out of your door
I'm tired of all your lies and I won't take anymore

Oh, you think you're so cool, but you're not
And now I'm gone
You took me for a fool, well guess what
It's time to say so long...

(5 measure break)

(seperate track during the break: It's time to say so long, and now I'm gone
You know I'm movin on, I'm gone)

Now you see you're not perfect but still won't confess
Stuck in your web of lies your life is a mess
Believe it or not this time I'm not coming back
Had your chance and lost it, now that is a fact

Oh, you thought you were so cool, but you're not
And now you're all alone
You know I'm not your fool, and guess what
I'm better on my own....And you're sorry you're alone....

Stand Out

On my own, all alone
I'm marching to the beat of my own drum
We're not the same I know you think I'm strange
I stand out like a sore thumb

You'll never understand who I really am
Oh but I won't let it hold me down

So take me for what I am
Oh cause I won't change for anyone
Love me or just cast me aside
All I know is when the day is done
I'm just me, all I ever wanted to be.....is me

Looking back into the past
Now it's no different than it's ever been
Never fitting in an outcast
Always on the outside looking in

I'll never change and I'm not ashamed
To be the person that I am today

So take me for what I am
Oh cause I won't change for anyone
Love me or just cast me aside
All I know is when the day is done
I'm just me, all I ever wanted to be.....is me
All I ever wanted to be....

Devil In Disguise

I'm the voice inside your head and I'll tell you what you need to hear
I know you hang on every word I've said so listen very close now my dear

Oh, I've got to tell you something
And you might not want to hear it no
Said you might not want to hear it no
But you need it....

Oh, you'd better watch out for that boy, now you'd better watch out for that boy
Cause he's the devil in disguise, and you can see it in his eyes
So don't get caught up in his lies, he's giving you some alibis
So hear me now if you are wise, Just heed these words you hear inside your mind (echo)

I'm the voice inside your head, you don't want to hear what I say
He's got you caught under his spell, I'm just trying to break you away
I think you know that I speak the truth but you're too gone to turn back now
I'm the only logic that's left in you and I've got to break through somehow

Oh, I've got to tell you something
And you might not want to hear it no
Said you might not want to hear it no
But you need it.....

I'm the voice inside your mind, You're letting that boy make you blind
I've got to tell you something
And you might not want to hear it no, said you might not want to hear it no
But you need it!!

Walk Alone

I walk along these empty streets everyday
All by myself noone to talk to, but I like it that way
Nobody around to tell me what to think or how to live my life
Some say I'm a fool for living this way hey but the road I walk is mine

Mine.....Alone....
On my own nothing to stand in my way
I don't need anyone
To show me the way

Go away from me Oh now can't you see
I can make it alone....

I don't need anyone, don't even try to change my mind
You'll only push me further away, I'm gone away for good this time

You thought that you could make me change but it pushed me away
Now you sit and wonder why I'm gone you thought that I'd forever stay
I've got to live my life by my own terms and you couldn't understand
Tried to turn me into someone I'll never be too bad I ruined your plan

Now I....Walk Alone....
On my own noone to stand in my way
I don't need anyone
To show me the way

Go away from me Oh now can't you see
I can make it alone....

The Monkey Dance

The monkey starts to rise
From his perch up on high
The organ grinder plays
For whatever you will pay
The monkey does his dance
He waves his little hands
To attract you as you pass
Please put your dollar in his glass

Oh the monkey, his reason for existance is to make you smile
For a dollar or some change forget your problems for awhile
The piano man rewards him when the day is through
But for now he'll do his little monkey dance for me and you

The monkey dances on
Until the light is gone
Then the organ grinder says
Hey monkey let's call it a day
He gathers belongings up
Counts the money in his cup
He pats the monkey on his head
Says without you I'd be dead

For the monkey his reason for existance is to make you smile
Make some money for his master just by dancing for awhile
He knows he'll be rewarded when the day is through
So the monkey dances on another day for me and you

The monkey dances on......
