Dream Destroyers
I’ve had enough of this negative vibe
Had enough of shedding tears
For a place that never loved me back
When I stayed here in anger for years

There were times when it calmed down
Thought it was going to be alright
Then dreams crash down and I realize
That I can’t live another night

In this place of dream destroyers where the people get their kicks
Feeding off of misery it’s not a way to live

Friends I know were driven away
By a life that they can’t live
Because everyone was doing the taking
And there was nothing left to give

Now all I see is people
Who don’t have any more dreams
So they take it out on someone else
Until they succumb or leave

This place of dream destroyers where people get their kicks
Feeding off of misery it’s not a way to live
 
 
 
Another Restless Night
It’s been a few years and the faces have changed
But the attitude’s still the same
Going out to party all night
It’s still the name of the game
Music’s got more meaning
And feeling’s more intense
Gotta go and enjoy it
Before the night is spent


Times have changed and I maybe a little bit older
But watching life fade away isn’t right
I’ve got the romance but I still need the action
The time is right for another restless night


Girls still turn on the sexy eyes
But the skirts and gloves are gone
All you see are painted on jeans
Barely covering a thong
Even though I’m taken
It sure is a beautiful sight
To see those girls rockin it out
To the music on a Saturday night


Times may have changed and I maybe a little bit older
But watching life fade away isn’t right
I’ve got the romance but I still need the action
The time is right for another restless night

Times have changed
People change
The city changes
But the feeling’s the same
You have to get out
You have to let it go
Let the music and the night
Take control of your soul

Times may have changed and I maybe a little bit older
But watching life fade away isn’t right
I’ve got the romance but I still need the action
The time is right for another restless night

 
Emotional Chains
Over and over the thoughts of you in my head
Keep my emotions hanging on by a thread
What is this power that you have over me
Have no resistance have no immunity

I cannot believe what I’m saying to you
That my feelings are so true
My sanity’s in a fight for its life
Thinking of you

Why can’t I break away form your spell
I’m losing my mind I’m losing myself
When I’m around you I have no control
These emotional chains have taken hold

Over and over my feelings for you grow strong
It doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong
It’s getting harder to keep my feelings at bay
There are times when I just can’t break away

Now I don’t know if you feel like I do now
Or are you satisfied
But these feelings are killing me
I just want to hide

Why can’t I break away form your spell
I’m losing my mind I’m losing myself
When I’m around you I have no control
These emotional chains have taken hold

I cannot believe what I’m saying to you
That my feelings are so true
My sanity’s in a fight for its life
Thinking of you

Why can’t I break away form your spell
I’m losing my mind I’m losing myself
When I’m around you I have no control
These emotional chains have taken hold
 
 
Things We Say
It’s never too late
To say that you love someone
It’s never to late to say how you feel
Sometimes words
Can hurt you deep inside
But if they’re given a chance they can heal

Things we say in the heat of the moment
When there’s so much pain
All we can do is scream at each other
Instead of keeping it sane

I know pride
Sometimes gets in the way
Feeling like the one who has to be strong
We make mistakes
We have are dues to day
Always regretting things when they’re gone

Things we say in the heat of the moment
When there’s so much pain
All we can do is scream at each other
Instead of keeping it sane

Please don’t walk away
I know you want to stay
These feelings you cannot hide
Alone and confused
Your heart feels so abused
Let’s try to make it alright
 
 
I Want You
Minutes seem like a thousand years
Thoughts of loving you won't seem to disappear
I looked into these eyes before
You and I know that it could be something more
I see your smile in photographs
Thinking of how much I really want you bad
Don't know how it got to be
All I know is that you mean a lot to me

I tried to be cold I tried to forget you
But these feelings I have are too much to be refused

I lie awake in bed at night, Wishing I could hold you tight
Cause I want you
At night I see you in my dreams, my heart goes through extremes
Because I want you

Everything's reminding me
About you and it's pushing me towards insanity
Is it right or is it wrong
That my thoughts of you are getting really strong
I miss your smile I miss your kiss
It is something that i just cannot resist
Don't know how I got this way
Cannot live without you at least not today

I've struggled with heartache, pain, and depression
Now you're starting to be my obsession

I lie awake in bed at night, Wishing I could hold you tight
Cause I want you
At night I see you in my dreams, my heart goes through extremes
Because I want you

Enough of the wild and romantic dreams
Let's make this real between you and me
 
 
Angel Like Her
Awakened by an angel's kiss
Brought to life by the sound of her voice
One look in her piecing eyes
And my sadness was qucikly destroyed

She always knows how to get me to smile
Even when the world seems gray
Knowing me better than I know myself
And chasing my worries away

What did occur
To deserve someone special in an angel like her
What can I say
Someone great in my life that I want here today

Something in the way she is
A certain aura that plays with my mind
Maybe she's magical
Maybe she's just one of a kind

I never knew what happiness was
To me it never seemed real
Until the day that she entered my life
Now it's something I feel

What did occur
To deserve someone special in an angel like her
What can I say
Someone great in my life that I want here today

She always knows how to get me to smile
Even when the world seems gray
Knowing me better than I know myself
And chasing my worries away

What did occur
To deserve someone special in an angel like her
What can I say
Someone great in my life that I want here today
 
 
3:30 AM
Just finished a night of playing out
As a mist falls from the sky
There's nobody else out here
As a car or two rolls by

I get in my car and I hear our song on the radio
Seen a lot of women tonight but I know where I need to go

It's 3:30 and I'm thinking of you
As I'm driving home tonight
I will be there to hold you in my arms
And suddenly the world will be right

As I stop at a traffic light
I'm thinking back how it used to be
When the weekends
Were only meant for you and me

Doesn’t seem fair that you're home all alone
I may not be there but there's something you should know

It's 3:30 and I'm thinking of you
As I'm driving home tonight
I will be there to hold you in my arms
And suddenly the world will be right

 
 
These Four Walls
I'm lying here staring at the blocks in the ceiling
And a lot of things go through my mind
Why do I have this helpless feeling
There's so many answers that I have to find

I'm thinking of ways to turn my life around
I've isolated myself since my whole world was turned upside down

There's a raging heart that's ready to be unleashed from these four walls
Ready to take back what is mine

I've paced around this room like a tiger
Waiting to take my chance on the prey
Everyone sees my eyes of fire
God help anyone who stands in my way

I'm not the same as I was before
No one's going to take my life for granted anymore

There's a raging heart that's ready to be unleashed from these four walls
Ready to take back what is mine
Anyone tries to cross my path and they'll know they're going to fall
So you better keep in line
