Album Lyrics
1. New Millennium
A single star behind me,
a red sky burns ahead.
A lonely light below me,
awake among the dead.
An overwhelming feeling
leaves me numb and strange.
A sense of new beginning,
I sense a wind of change.
Out with the old useless
people so cold ruthless.
Welcome in a new Millennium!
How many times must I
live out this nightmare?
I can’t wait until a
new Millennium!
I’ve got this feeling,
the tide is turning now, baby!
Funny feeling, everything’s
gonna be alright now.
Living out a
constant déjà vu.
Keep your head up!
Please be patient
we will get to you.
Keep your head up!
Just have some faith
and you can see it through.
Keep your head up!
But faith don’t pay
the rent that’s overdue.
Keep your head up!
All that’s glittering
is turning blue.
Keep your head up!
What they want from me,
ain’t gotta clue.
Keep your head up!
Swallow pride before
it swallows you.
Keep your head up!
Don’t dare bite the hand
that’s starving you.
Keep your head up!
How can you keep your
head and not go insane,
when the only light at the
end of the tunnel is another train?
The lies, ten feet tall,
have broken my fall.
Welcome you all,
new Millennium.
It’s well overdue
and I can’t wait to
welcome in a new Millennium.
I’ve got this feeling,
the tide is turning now, baby!
Funny feeling, everything’s
gonna be alright now…
2. You Not Me
Being around you is driving me crazy,
watching you run is making me lazy.
You’re trying to buy a place in my head,
telling me lines I’ve already read.
Speaking my name
to try to confuse me.
Say it again, you’re
starting to lose me.
That’s alright, I’m okay,
it happens every single day.
It’s all the same but I’m not blind.
It’s all about you not me!
It’s all about the things that
you’re expecting me to be.
There’s not enough time to live
and all that you’re expecting me to give.
It’s all about you not me,
it’s all about you not me.
You’re building my prison brick by brick,
eating your words is making me sick.
You get what you want because nothing is sacred,
you’re reading my mind and leaving me naked.
You say I gotta give
before I receive it.
One of these days
I’ll believe it.
It’s all about you not me!
It’s all about the things that
you’re expecting me to be.
There’s not enough time to live
and all that you’re expecting me to give.
It’s all about you not me,
it’s all about you not me.
That’s alright, I’m okay,
it happens every single day.
It’s all the same but I’m not blind.
It’s all about you not me!
It’s all about the things that
you’re expecting me to be.
There’s not enough time to live
and all that you’re expecting me to give.
It’s all about you not me,
it’s all about you not me.
It’s all about you not me!
3. Peruvian Skies
There, there it is!
I swear he’s gonna
murder that poor kid.
Wait, I hear it again!
Don’t turn on the lights
until we hear the way it ends.
Under peruvian skies
Vanessa regretfully waits.
The story unfolds in her eyes,
where midnight hysteria’s
no big surprise.
Battered and bruised,
always confusing
the love that she’s
losing for hate.
Poor Vanessa,
poor, poor Vanessa!
Hey, I hope you know
I’m taking all of this
with me when I go.
Shame, you’re not to blame!
I’m the monster you created
in your daddy’s name.
Under peruvian skies
Vanessa regretfully waits.
The story unfolds in her eyes,
where midnight hysteria’s
no big surprise.
Battered and bruised,
always confusing
the love that she’s
losing for hate.
Poor Vanessa!
Poor Vanessa!
Terror by night,
liar by day.
Telling her secrets
won’t take them away.
Under peruvian skies
Vanessa regretfully waits.
The story unfolds in her eyes,
where midnight hysteria’s
no big surprise.
Battered and bruised,
always confusing
the love that she’s
losing for hate.
4. Hollow Years
He’s just the kind
of man you hear about,
who leaves his family
for an easy out.
They never saw the signs,
he never said a word,
he couldn’t take another day.
Carry me to the shoreline,
bury me in the sand.
Walk me across the water
and maybe you’ll understand.
Once the stone you’re crawling under
is lifted off your shoulders.
Once the cloud that’s raining
over your head disappears.
The noise that you’ll hear
is the crashing down of hollow years.
She’s not the kind
of girl you hear about,
she’ll never want another,
she’ll never be without.
She’ll give you all the signs,
she’ll tell you everything,
then turn around and walk away.
Carry me to the shoreline,
bury me in the sand.
Walk me across the water
and maybe you’ll understand.
Once the stone you’re crawling under
is lifted off your shoulders.
Once the cloud that’s raining
over your head disappears.
The noise that you’ll hear
is the crashing down of hollow years.
Once the stone
you’re crawling under…
5. Burning My Soul
A thorn in my side,
a chip on my shoulder.
A lump in my throat,
the size of a boulder.
The chill up my spine
can’t get any colder,
and you wonder why
I can’t smile?
A knot in my gut,
an ape on my back.
In the heat of the moment
I’m knocked off the track.
You drop the ball,
I pick up the slack,
and you ask me why
my hairs gray?
Twisting, turning, losing
all sense of yearning.
Living and learning,
the pressure keeps on
burning my soul!
Burning my soul…
I say it’s green and then
you tell me it’s red,
keep your thoughts and ideas
locked inside of your head.
We’ve got someone who can
think for you instead,
and he sounds just like
the last one.
Twisting, turning, losing
all sense of yearning.
Living and learning,
the pressure keeps on
burning my soul!
Burning my soul…
Responsible thinkers
throw caution to the wind,
but I find myself speaking
from within.
I can’t live my life
walking on eggshells
to stay on your good side.
Using your words,
controlling my life.
Can’t you see it’s my words
that gives you your life
So I hurt your feelings,
well I’m really sorry.
But I don’t give a shit!
No!
Twisting, turning, losing
all sense of yearning.
Living and learning,
the pressure keeps on
burning my soul!
Burning my soul…
6. Hell’s Kitchen
(Instrumental)
7. Lines in the Sand
Sometimes for a moment of bliss,
and the passion we’re craving,
there’s a message we miss.
Sometimes when the
spirits left alone,
we must believe in something
to find if we’ve grown.
Tragic reflex,
shattered calm.
Static progress,
senses gone.
Numb awareness,
final psalm!
Swept away with the tide
through the holes in my hands.
Crown of thorns at my side,
drawing lines in the sand.
Sometimes,
if you’re perfectly still,
you can hear the virgin weeping
for the savior of your will.
Sometimes
your castles in the air,
and the fantasies you’re seeking
are the crosses you bear.
Sacred conflict,
blessed prize.
Weeping crosses,
stainless eyes.
Desperate addict,
faith disguised.
Swept away with the tide
through the holes in my hands.
Crown of thorns at my side,
drawing lines in the sand.
We fabricate our demons,
invite them into our homes.
Have supper with the alien
and fight the war alone.
We conjure up our skeletons,
enlist the den of thieves.
Frightened from our closets
then sewn upon our sleeves.
In the stream of consciousness
there is a river crying.
Living comes much easier,
once we admit we’re dying.
Sometimes,
in the wreckage of our wake,
There’s a bitterness we harbor
and hate for hatred’s sake.
Sometimes we
dig an early grave
and crucify our instincts
for the hope we couldn’t save.
Sometimes a view
from sinless eyes,
centers our perspective
and pacifies our cries.
Sometimes the anguish we survive
and the mysteries we nurture
are the fabrics of our lives.
Swept away with the tide
through the holes in my hands.
Crown of thorns at my side,
drawing lines in the sand.
8. Take Away My Pain
-Dedicated to John E. Petrucci Sr.-
I was sitting on the edge of his bed,
staring at the headlines on the paper.
He said “Look at poor Gene Kelly,
I guess he won’t be singing in the rain.”
You can take away my heroes,
can you take away my pain?
Take away my pain, leave the cold outside,
please don’t let it rain, don’t stumble on my pride.
Take away my pain, I’m not frightened anymore,
just stay with me tonight, I’m tired of this fight.
Soon I’ll be knocking at your door!
She was standing by the edge of his bed,
staring at the message on their faces.
He said “What else can you do, babe?
I guess I won’t be coming home again.”
They just took away all my promises,
make them take away my pain!
Take away my pain, leave the cold outside,
please don’t let it rain, don’t stumble on my pride.
Take away my pain, I’m not frightened anymore,
just stay with me tonight, I’m tired of this fight.
Soon I’ll be knocking at your door!
His final scene, the actor bows
and all those years are gone somehow.
The crowd applauds, the curtain falls.
I was standing by the edge of the water,
I noticed my reflection in the waves.
Then I saw you looking back at me
and I knew that for a moment
you were calling out my name.
You took away my hero,
will you take away my pain?
Take away my pain, let the cold inside,
it’s time to let it rain, there’s nothing left to hide.
Take away my pain, I’m not frightened anymore.
I’m learning to survive without you in my life
until you come knocking at my door!
9. Just Let Me Breathe
Open your eyes
and turn off your mind,
step right up folks
and you will find.
A growing trend,
an epidemic.
Spread with Zen
and hypodermics.
Just close your mind,
you can find all you need
with your eyes.
The big machines take care of you
until you kill yourself.
And then the sales go through the roof,
calculated, formulated.
Feed my head with simple thoughts
and let me breathe instead of being taught,
all bottled up and tearing at the seams.
I’m bored, just let me breathe.
A daily dose of eMpTyV
will flush your mind right down the drain.
Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain,
make yourself a household name.
Just close your mind,
you can find all you need
with your eyes.
The big machines take care of you
until you kill yourself.
And then the sales go through the roof,
calculated, formulated.
Feed my head with simple thoughts
and let me breathe instead of being taught,
all bottled up and tearing at the seams.
I’m bored, just let me breathe.
Strike up your best
angst ridden posture,
manufactured anger!
Let’s not forget my legacy,
all my heroes have failed me.
Now they’re dead and buried!
Just close your mind,
you can find all you need
with your eyes.
The big machines
will take care of you
until the fashion fades
and the checks go through.
My bankroll’s red
and my face is blue,
and still they’ll turn their
backs on you for someone new.
Feed my head with some real thoughts
And let me think instead of being taught,
I’ll say things you won’t believe.
Just stand back, just let me breathe!
10. Anna Lee
Helpless child,
they invite your hands
to fill their needs.
Will you be the same?
Shameless smile
to steal from you
the innocence that bleeds.
Will they feel your pain?
Trying to believe,
the scars unseen,
the tears wash clean.
You don’t wanna breathe
the air you breathe.
You don’t know how
you’ll live a life alone.
She keeps holding on,
holding on to you.
Let her breathe the air,
don’t wanna be alone.
Where do you belong, Anna Lee?
Behind those eyes,
the vivid scene,
a lucid dream within,
questioned secrets are revealed.
And everytime
you can’t deny the lines
that trace your skin,
wounds that never heal.
Trying to believe,
the scars unseen,
the tears wash clean.
You don’t wanna breathe
the air you breathe.
You don’t know how
you’ll live a life alone.
She keeps holding on,
holding on to you.
Let her breathe the air,
don’t wanna be alone.
Where do you belong, Anna Lee?
And now she’s calling out a name,
can’t keep on hiding all her pain.
You feel the rain move in as you begin
to turn and answer the call.
Trying to believe,
the scars unseen,
the tears wash clean.
You don’t wanna breathe
the air you breathe.
You don’t know how
you’ll live a life alone.
She keeps holding on,
holding on to you.
Let her breathe the air,
don’t wanna be alone.
Where do you belong, Anna Lee?
11. Trial of Tears (I. It’s Raining/II. Deep in Heaven/III. The Wasteland)
I. It’s Raining
Under the sun
there is nothing to hide.
Under the moon
the stranger waits inside.
People disappear,
the music fades away.
Splashing through the rain
I’ll dream with them one day.
It’s raining, raining
on the streets of New York City.
It’s raining, raining,
raining deep in Heaven.
I may have wasted all those years,
they’re not worth their time in tears.
I may have spent too long in darkness,
in the warmth of my fears.
Take a look at yourself
not at anyone else,
and tell me what you see.
I know the air is cold,
I know the streets are cruel,
but I’ll enjoy the ride today.
It’s raining, raining
on the streets of New York City.
It’s raining, raining,
raining deep in Heaven.
I may have wasted all those years,
they’re not worth their time in tears.
I may have spent too long in darkness,
in the warmth of my fears.
As I walk through all my myths,
rising and sinking like the waves,
with my thoughts wrapped around me
through a trial of tears.
Hidden by disguise,
stumbling in a world.
Feeling uninspired
he gets into his car.
Not within his eyes to see,
open up, open up.
Not much better than
the man you hate.
II. Deep In Heaven
(Instrumental)
III. The Wasteland
Still awake I
continue to move along,
cultivating my own nonsense.
Welcome to the wasteland
where you’ll find ashes,
nothing but ashes.
Still awake, bringing change,
bringing movement, bringing life.
A silent prayer thrown away,
disappearing in the air.
Rising, sinking,
raining deep inside me.
Nowhere to turn I look
for a way back home.
It’s raining, raining,
raining deep in Heaven.
It’s raining, raining,
raining deep in Heaven.
It’s raining, raining,
raining deep in Heaven.
It’s raining, raining,
raining deep in Heaven.
