If my lips could reach God's ear if my lips could reach god’s ear I would tell him many things all the stories about fear and the terror someone brings I’d like to tell it to god’s ear I would tell him many things if I could change the world I would make it better if I could spread the word we could change it together if I could make a difference I would surely try if I could make a difference it benefits both you and I tear down the walls build with new hope change your way tear down the walls open your heart break new waves we can start to look within ourselves all the small things which make all the difference we can change our way we can start to ask ourselves is it worth it in between

Face the ground I've been behind this door 4 almost 5 years, I am 2 scared to go out I suffer from all this delusions, reality scares the hell out of me and all this paranoia, and I am so scared, please somebody help me, please, please… so much for innocence, I’m hearing voices in my reminiscence, nothing but fear I rather stay incognito, I rather keep to myself I’ll never come to believe you, I put the trust in myself life’s the harder part - watch me while I face the ground I know I’m apart - judge me, as I face the ground there for all to see - watch me, how I face the ground dream of remedy - I face my head to the ground so much for innocence, you’re in denial in my reminiscence, nothing but guile I used to hide myself behind the company of me, myself and I how many second chances can you expect in life? feel like a fallen angel, all I can do is cry I rather dream of redemption, I rather keep from your hate I’ll never come to reliance, I put the trust in my fate I used to cover up with lies and no one ever cared to wonder why how many second chances? carrying my own weight fighting to find the answers, praying it’s not too late

Liar 05:04
Liar (danced with the devil) liar - I believed in every word liar - that you ever said to me liar - my trust in you were big enough for all eternity liar - you were my everything liar - included flesh and blood liar - you were as family truly forced to bond I never saw your true intention I couldn’t see you dance with the devil how was I supposed to know you cut your deal, you trade your soul I had faith in your judgment but your greed made you want it all danced… you danced with the devil danced… you danced with the devil you danced… you were my sister you were supposed to stand by me the equation is simple it’s called a family liar - so many times I stood you by liar - I’m so confused, I wonder why liar - so many years, to see through your lies liar - you’re betrayal made me throw the dice in the blink of an eye you broke my heart in a second you tore this family apart in the name of greed you’ve got to make this right again you’ve got to make things right!

You have to understand talk to me, take a walk with me still I’m a stranger, until eternity I make my own path, I walk the lonely road I have already figured it out life’s just like a fiddle you have to play it right pretend it’s a riddle and read between the lines we have to change our way to think we have to change in many ways we have to change our way to live in order to remain you have to understand this is the essence of extension stand up and be a man and go against the flood it’s about control we have to give up our dominion it’s the only way for us to keep what we call existence

Illusion 03:41
Illusion tell me my friend, how do you feel tell me my friend, is this for real it’s coming down… it will clear your mind you cannot see the truth, before the illusion ends don’t say you’re sorry, ‘cause I know to be or not to be, in this reality it eats your heart out, inside out can you imagine a world without the wars can you imagine to be free… we cannot see the truth, the illusion never ends so don’t you worry, ‘cause I know to see or not to see, behind the scenery it brings you down in misery it’s coming down… it will free your mind you cannot beat the truth, nor can you see the end don’t say you’re sorry, ‘cause I know to feel or not to feel, to try to keep it real it eats your heart out from within can you imagine a world without the poor can you imagine to be free… we will not meet the truth, before the illusion ends so don’t you worry, ‘cause I know not to be, nor less to see enslaved prosperity it brings you down to misery

Do we care at all why can’t you see, the world is tumbling down why can’t you be smart enough to smile do we care at all I’ve been wondering when we’ll fall balancing hard on the edge of it all not taking care of our own do we care at all… we could have had garden of Eden, a heaven down on earth (but) we took the lead on behalf of mankind for what it was worth we live in a time of slumber, better open up our eyes and remember that we’re all strings in the web of life do we care at all I’ve been hoping we would stand tall balancing hard on the edge of it all not taking care of our own do we care at all… either we open up our eyes or lay the whole place waste we are left to our own device whether to make a stand… it’s time to make a stand we could have had garden of Eden, an endless paradise but what goes down, must come around so here’s my advice if we wanna get fair and even then it’s about time to remember that we’re all strings in the web of life

Mr Looser 03:54
Mr Looser I can see that you are waiting for the right moment but let me tell you, that moment won’t wait for you I can see your chances are slipping through your fingers so let me tell you, they just don’t come to you tell me what it’s like, not to have a chance in life mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall tell me, tell me, who’s about to fall so many times this has happened before too many times for me to ignore - mirror, mirror, mirror on the wall give me a clue and I’ll tell you why give me your soul and you will get by - loser, loser, you’re about to fall why can’t you cease to live life like you ignore it I stand beside, watching your life fade to grey I can’t believe why you won’t live life to explore it instead you walk the path that leaves you with hell to pay tell me what it’s like, not to have a chance in life but let me tell you, that moment won’t wait for you I can see your chances are slipping through your fingers tell me what it’s like, not to have a chance in life

Confess before God you told me so, there was no regrets couldn’t live with love, couldn’t take the pain you chose the coward’s path on this road still no regrets… how could you be so blind what went through your mind lord have mercy on your soul - do you think you were brave? lord have mercy on your soul and you thought you were in pain time goes by, heal those wounds even in times of all those deep depressions there is always hope you can find comfort in your own confession you must look behind the wall time goes by, heal those wounds it takes courage to live a lifetime you have to stand by all those faults you’ve made and that, my friend, that is brave so brave, that is brave so why did you take your life you left your kids and wife behind confess before god so why did you take your life…

You rock my world talk is cheap and I hate your guts you’re hard to please, still I love your touch you rock my world like a wound with beginners luck you rip my heart like a thunderstruck you rock my world you can buy love with money but never cross the line you need to gently weep my honey to consider yourself as mine it’s a beautiful world, it’s totally upside down so gently weep, so gently weep I hate the way that you play with me I need to feel that you care for me you rock my world
12.
What's the point too many spoken words has too much impact in this world crazy leaders with crazy minds, try to spread the words around too many broken words are thrown upon us in a swirl hazy prophets with hazy lies, at the edge of unholy ground two times a day it seems I speak my words against the wall is there anybody out there who can answer my desperate call why can’t we talk to each other why can’t we care for some other ‘cause we are ruled by the money where’s the common senses anyway there’s no common sense today what’s the point of loose control where’s the truthful words you’d like to say where’s the wisdom of today what’s the point of losing souls I pray for answers, I’m asking god… one night I fell into a dream in rage I forced myself to regain an everlasting faith don’t you believe in what they say talk is cheap and act is gold they serve their lies on a plate for you this is not your game to play I pray for answers, I’m asking god I know the answer is to go against the flood
13.
Create 03:47
Create destructive behavior seems to be all that we have left to wait for a savior, does that make any common sense? this state of mind, makes us blind we all know where this will lead, this chosen path it seems so clear to me, like simple math we are kindred spirits sharing secrets, sharing dreams weirdest kind of madness is not always what it seems we all suffer from the lack of human contact beside the impulse through the global net I can be your savior sharing secrets, sharing dreams I can tell the future it’s not always what it seems…

Freakshow reprise I’ll beckon when the show is finally over freezing vivid memories in time much to my amusement, you’ll be coming back and I’ll be there, again, to hold the line we all need a dream (keep dreaming)
