In Hollywood
She steps off the plane at night, sees the mountain sign and the spinning lights, and she knows deep down inside, its fine , here in Hollywood
Agents and movie stars, sees them driving by in their fancy cars, and she almost landed a really good part, here in Hollywood
Its hard to get your name in lights, so don’t give up the fight, no matter how hard you try, Sometimes its just your life
She would not give up on dreams, like the playhouse stage or sitcom scene ,but she’s facing her reality, here in Hollywood
Auditions and dirty cups, its another bar and the crowd is rough, but she reaches deep, cuz she knows it tough here in Hollywood
Its hard to get your name in lights, so don’t give up the fight, no matter how hard you try, Sometimes its just your life
Was this just a waste of time, it feels like she will lose her mind, chasing down another role, this whirlwind will take its toll,
Do you cry or do you dream or do you laugh or do you scream, is it worth another day or do you throw it all away
She steps off the bus at night, sees the hometown school and hometown lights, and she’ll always miss that mountain sign, there in Hollywood.

Born Again
As I sit and stare, trying to see whats there, no reflection, nevermore, to this end im just a corpse.
Through the alleys and the city streets, on a hunt to find fresh meat, why you chose me isn’t clear, dear god I can smell their fear,
This thing that you did to me, you gave me eternity
I took two fangs in the neck last night, from a silver tongued devil with a glint in her eye, and as the church bell tolls my blood runs cold, im born again
And as the sun goes down and I arise, through the death and the shadows with the blood shot eyes, im reaching out, to draw you in , im born again.
Why must I live this dream, why must they always scream, cant control this lust inside, though I live, I wish id died
Theres a taste that’s in my mouth, why cant I get it out, the things I see, the things I do, this hell is because of you,
This thing that you did to me, you gave me eternity
I took two fangs in the neck last night, from a silver tongued devil with a glint in her eye, and as the church bell tolls my blood runs cold, im born again
And as the sun goes down and I arise, through the death and the shadows with the blood shot eyes, im reaching out, to draw you in , im born again.

The Mending
They wont tell you, they wont help you find your way, It’s a shame they let you go. All you offer, all you want to give and give, its on them, they’ll never know.
You say you’re all alone again, you’ve got tears in your eyes and you miss your friends, you say this is gonna be it till the bitter end, but just look inside and your heart will surely mend.
You say you’re feeling down again, I know you’re not gonna break but you might have to bend, it seems everybody’s saying that you’ll never win, but just give it time and your heart will surely mend
Moving on now, you just have to find a way, to be happy on your own. Its behind you, so don’t let it drag you down. Someday all will be atoned
You say you’re all alone again, you’ve got tears in your eyes and you miss your friends, you say this is gonna be it till the bitter end, but just look inside and your heart will surely mend.
You say you’re feeling down again, I know you’re not gonna break but you might have to bend, you say everybody’s saying that you’ll never win, but just give it time and your heart will surely mend

Falling Down
Am I falling Down, If I am do you care
It’s a long long long road, I don’t want to go alone
I’m just a blind man on a stage, waiting for the curtain call
Who wrote this story line for me, is it truly sad enough
Am I losing my mind
Don’t tell me i’m fine, you’re wasting my time
Abstract puzzles in my head, don’t know how the pieces fit
Staring wide eyed off the face, is it really bad enough
Are the skies turning grey, if they are I don’t want to know
Is this how it all ends, i’m truly glad that your my friend
Am I losing my mind,
don’t tell me i’m fine, you’re wasting your time

Burning for you
I stare up at flashing stars, I wonder just where you are, its cold and the wind is piercing, you keep me alive believing
One more time im heading through the breach, once again I feel you out of reach, im burning burning burning for your love, burning for you
My wounds seem to keep me focused, our captain has earned our trust , this war will surely be my ending, with closed eyes, its your face I see
One more time im heading through the breach, once again I feel you out of reach, im burning burning burning for your love, burning for you
I feel the pain, of a hundred knives, I remember your flame, it keeps me
Alive
My eyes, want to close now, I may not make it home
One more time im heading through the breach, once again I feel you out of reach, im burning burning burning for your love, burning for you

Hey Momma
When you were just a child
It was all about survival
Hoping that your kids would not feel that
With all those hugs and kisses
Sometimes there were misses
Sacrifice was always your answer
Hey Momma don’t cry now
Hey Momma you should be proud
Cus you’ve waited and traded your fate for the sake of their love
Hey Momma don’t cry now
You cannot turn the clock back
Things are moving too fast
Wishing you could hold them forever
You Gave them all you could give
Hope to God that they live
A lifetime filled with love that’s inspired
Hey Momma don’t cry now
Hey Momma you should be proud
Cus you’ve waited and traded your fate for the sake of their love
Hey Momma don’t cry now

Stronger Man
Its in my heart, its in my mind, I don’t want to lie, cuz its burning me, from inside, like a Viking pyre.
Can you feel the heat, of this life, as its climbing high, and its warming me with desire, I just want to fly
The world can break my bones, but they’ll never break my soul darling, theres a stronger man inside of me
I’ve rolled the dice, a couple of times, and avoided snakes, but now and then, when I try, I fall on my face, I go round and round and back again, seems like I pretend, that all is well, in this hell, to my long lost friend
The world can break my bones, but they’ll never break my soul darling, there’s a stronger man inside of me
If I should fall, while standing tall, would you pick me and smile, would you hold me for awhile?
If I could hear, through all these tears, would you pick me up and say, that your always here to stay?
The world can break my bones, but they’ll never break my soul darling, there’s a stronger man inside of me
The world can break my bones, but they’ll never break my soul darling, there’s a stronger man inside of me

Something Hallowed
The board walk sighs with every step, I know not why or what comes next.
My mind weighs heavy with the fears of truth, I ve lost my way and wasted youth.
Give me lies instead of truth, Ill blame myself and follow suit.
The Traffic flows in all directions, I still cant bear my own reflection
Let me follow, something hallowed, let me wallow in an empty grave
Take my hand into tomorrow, then watch me cower before the brave
The wet sand steals my light footprints, I haven’t seen a red sky since
The dark sea heals the wretched souls, of would be sailors an murderous crows
Let me follow, something hallowed, let me wallow in an empty grave
Take my hand into tomorrow, then watch me cower before the brave
Break the ties that kill tomorrow
The golden rule will drain the sorrow
Chorus-
Let me follow, something hallowed, let me wallow in an empty grave
Take my hand into tomorrow, then watch me cower before the brave

Time in a bottle
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day till eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do, once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty, except for the memory of how
They were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do, once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through the time with

Unity
It’s hard to see the leaves blowing here, flowing in a way that makes the seasons concentrate on you, what if something was not true, but it’s true
Cloudy skies that try to change their tone, find a better home, take a chance and climb inside, hoping for a bumpy ride, what a ride
And all the gods have lost their unity, trading in their focus for a while, if see them then please plead with them to give a sign, we don’t have eternity to sit and cry
On the tarmac looking forward now, hear the sound of guns, hoping you are not the one, wishing you had got to choose, you can’t choose
Butterfly who just can’t seem to smile, let’s sit and talk awhile, maybe there is someone who, let you slip away too soon, way too soon
And all the gods have lost their unity, trading in their focus for a while, if see them then please plead with them to give a sign, we don’t have eternity to sit and cry

Believe you can be
Imagination in overdrive, this is where you feel alive. Giving into your deepest fears, no more doubts, no more tears. Step on up and take a bow, this is your time, to be loud. Let the light shine on your face, its your time here in this place
You know you are, a shining superstar for the whole world to see, just look inside you can be anything that you want to be, don’t let the world steal your destiny.
Independence and liberty, its your style, your belief. All the naysayers in your ears, telling lies, through all these years. Castle walls cant keep you out, all they do is, slow you down. Its your moment, to rise above, give them hell, filled with love
You know you are, a shining superstar for the whole world to see, just look inside you can be anything that you want to be, don’t let the world steal your destiny. You can really be, whatever you want to be
Theyre gonna try to tear you down, nailing your feet flat on the ground. You’ve got to stand up tall, stand up tall and scream. Its your time, its your time to dream
You know you are, a shining superstar for the whole world to see, just look inside you can be anything that you want to be
