"Make Things Right"

I know words cant always help
When a heart is missing it's pieces,
but I need to fix things now,
I can't just turn away and leave it.

I opened my heart to you,
And you turned away,
My heart sank,
You didnt say a thing.

If I hold my breath long enough,
will I drift off to the place where you sleep?
Will I see you under the stars,
sitting right beside me?

I cant just turn my back,
You took my heart,
I need to collect the pieces,
before I fall apart.

I will wait through the day,
And sit through the night.
I've got something to say.
I've gotta make things right.

So I sit here in the sun,
thinking of what to do next,
There's a pain in my heart.
There's still something to fix.

I find myself pacing,
My heart racing,
just trying to think,
but my mind wont let me,

You keep coming back to my thoughts,
I thought you had enough but I guess not.
Now I cant help wandering
Is this a fight well faught?

I cant just turn my back,
You took my heart,
I need to collect the pieces,
before I fall apart.

I will wait through the day,
And sit through the night.
I've got something to say.
I've gotta make things right.

I just cant stand to fight,
Even if these are my last words tonight,
We haven't ran out o' time,
I just gotta make things right.

I wont sleep tonight....

Unless I make things right...

Tonight

"You took the steps"

You leave me behind,
and yet you're the one with tears in your eyes.
If it hurts so much, then why?
Why'd you say goodbye?

I look at the sky tonight,
After all the fights,
and pain we go through in our lives.
I still need to open my eyes.

We used to watch the sunset
in two different places.
Didn't know I had a friend
with two different faces.

Do you know who you are?
Even after all the lies.
I think you went way too far.
You've broken all of your ties.

And now you blame me
for leaving you
when you took the steps
and followed through.

Now the flame in our eyes has flickered out
And our friendship's foundation has turned to ash.
I'm taught to live without a doubt.
Things can change in a flash.

So go ahead and blame it all on me,
The destruction of your dignity.
Our friendship was as fake as can be.
And now I see

"I'll be Around"

When the walls come down,
And you're all alone,
Will you stand your ground,
Or will you roll up your sleeves and show scars that have never been shown.

Will they know your name?
Will you give up the fight,
Or will you win the game,
But it's all the same,
You still have a heart with love that can never be tamed.

A simple word,
Can blow in the wind,
But you never heard,
The way the words can bend
and come back to hurt you.

But now you're all alone,
With no one to hold and a heart made of stone,
And you feel so cold,
You learned it's not right to believe everything you're told.

You're not the only one,
I thought you would know,
That once you find the right path,
You'll know where to go,

And when you're worlds coming down,
And you're heart's fallen apart,
I'll be around,
I'll show you where to start.

Don't believe that it's all over now,
Go ahead and pick yourself up off the ground,
I promise you that I'll always be around.

I promise I'll be around,When your world comes down.

I'll be around.

"Death of an Illusion"

You leave me here on the ground
When nobody else is around
Didnt know you took me here to drown
In all of my tears

But now I know
How the story you wrote
How it flows
But I wont go
(and hide from all of my fears)

You took my heart
Took it, and ripped it apart
And I dont know why
Why I stood here and wasted my time
(Just to watch it all die.)

There's no pain!
There's no shame!
There's no hurt in my heart!
I'm leaving today!
Before I fall apart.


The words that you spoke
They were just just an illusion
But now I know
I was lost in confusion

All they were was a lie
To waste my time
And now I wish I could take it back
And never would've met you
But I cant correct my past
And my bad misfortune.

And my heart will show the scars that you left with me to bear
You broke the promise that you'd be there!

So where are you now?
I stare at the stars but they're starting to blind me.
You're not here now.
I wanna leave the memories of you behind me.

There's no pain!
There's no shame!
There's no hurt in my heart!
I'm leaving today!
Before I fall apart.

The words that you spoke
They were just just an illusion
But now I know
I was lost in confusion

I wasted my time to watch it all die.

It was all just a lie.

I watched the illusion die.

"What Has This World Come To"

Everybody c'mon and listen to me
Put down the magazine,
Shut down the laptop,
Take the ear buds out.

What,what has this world come to?
As if we have nothing else to do.
We waste our lives online or on the phone.
If you dont, are you truly alone?

So easy to lose our connections now,
What do we do when the power goes out?
Why must we waste our lives with these things?
Why has the world become so lazy?

What, what has this world come to?
As if we have nothing else to do.
We waste our lives online or on the phone,
If you dont, are you truly alone?

How long has it been?
Since you sent a real letter to a friend?
Or do you use email,
and things like "lol"

Oh now there's a world out there.
but instead we stare,
at a TV screen,
See what I mean?

What, what has this world come to?
As if we have nothing else to do?
We waste our lives online or on the phone,
If you dont, are you truly alone?


Find something else to do!!!
Oh, what has this world come to?
