Floored
never stop
never going to slow to find the way
never going to realize what might have been, what I've missed, what's led me astray
everything's a blur, I see
and I need guidance at this pace
this high speed life's controlling me, controlling you, controlling all the human race.
feels like nothing's stopping me,
I'm floored--like nothing could get in my way
I need some time to find myself, to search for me
it doesn't look like I can search today.
all I see is open road,
I'm scared of what my fate will leave for me.
it's all laid out in front of me...
is this what I was meant to see?
wide awake
I see my life in just a single blink
I try to look ahead, but the nothing seems to come to me after the wink.
everything's a mystery
and I have to find my own way
this high speed lifestyle that I lead is one where I have to live for today

Converting Flames
last I heard, day by day, you were crumbling within.
too many thoughts, too many happenings kick in.
how should I deal with the pain, deal with the hurt you leave inside of me?
by closing out the thought, giving life another try.
why not fly with me?
see the light within,
take a look on the other side...
forget what's behind you!
throw away the fear and doubt of what people see outside you.
time passes by, never ask why, that's why I've eyes to see you.
no telling lies, hide in disguise, so hide.. I still can see you.
you and I are one and the same.
take one last ride, no lies,
this time, together.
still be advised, tempted and tried, your eyes give in never.

The One
nobody wants to be the one to see the darker side of life
nobody wants to be the one to see the victims of their demise
everybody says they're the ones that are right, but I don't want to be the one.
the things we say, the things we do...
they told me I'm wrong, but the problems with you.
and I don't want to be the one
the things we say, the games we play...
I'm told to shut up, and I'm told to obey.
but I don't want to be the one that's wrong.
and everybody says they're right,
but I don't want to be the one that's wrong.
it's time to be the one that's right,
because I'm not going to be the one that's wrong tonight.

Out of Time
seems like I'm pressed for time.
things build up, but the pressures don't unwind.
I do my best to drive the secrets from my mind,
and ignore the problems that I find.
why face my worries when I can put these thoughts and feelings all aside?
in my life, I need to find what time has left behind
and every day, although I try, I'll never understand in my mind.
more situations come and go that lead to my demise.
there's nothing more to do.
the more I wait, the more time's not on my side.
