"Run Away: Part II" -E. Williams
I'm breaking out, I'm breaking off
So tired of sounds devoid of thought
Where everyone's Guevara
Let's just regress to other times
When love cliches contented rhymes
Instead of angst cantatas
Let's you and I take a run
We'll find a place by the setting sun
And dream about tomorrows
Hurry now, no time to lose
Just put off all you've got to do
And ditch all of your sorrows
(Prechorus)
And I say today sounds good to me
Let's pack our bags for nowhere
And I say today sounds good to me
And why should we care anyway?
(Chorus)
Sometimes you've got to live your life
Inbetween the speckled stars and the red neon lights
Lift your glasses, spill out your thoughts
Seconds passed in misery are seconds lost
Won't you please leave it all behind
For a drive-thru window and a piece of mind
I promise to be your forever...tonight
Prechorus & Chorus
Well I've been burned out, been washed up, I've used up my last luck
Was given more than I could take
But then I put it behind me, I looked around to see
Everyone's got a story to break your heart

"Way Home" -E. Williams & D. Gladden
Ba ba Ba ba Ba ba Ba ba
Life's an ordinary dream
It goes by slower than it seems
Condescending sympathy
Will it lead you back to me?
Wish I could see the world
Through your eyes
So golden and impearled
Like a paradise
Ba ba Ba ba Ba ba Ba ba
(Chorus)
And I try to fight this feeling once again
Would it feel the same if you left as if you stayed?
I guess you should find your own way home.
Trash can littered with your notes
Filled up with groundless hopes
Superficial shots to ease the pain
Why do I still call out your name?
So tired I fall back into bed
Try to forget all what you said
So tired I fall back into bed
But still your voice is in my head
Ba ba Ba ba Ba ba Ba ba
Chorus
Ba ba Ba ba Ba ba Ba ba
I'm so tired of lying
To myself, I feel like I'm dying
Ba ba Ba ba Ba ba Ba ba

"Just Out Of Reach" -E. Williams
She smiles at me again
Golden hair, falling down
Her eyes so beautiful
It is so unfair
If only two more years
Or less on her part
She'd find a place for me
As she's in my heart
(Chorus)
Just out of reach
Just out of reach.
Why do I feel this way
Just out of reach?
Is it possible
For us to be?
In love, intangible
Just out of reach
Why can't I go a day
Without her memory?
Chorus
Pierce the darkness of my lonliness
Wanna tell you how I feel, just can't get it off my chest
I stumble on throughout my day
Wake up each morning just to pass your way
Chorus 2x

"One Chance" -E. Williams
Memories flash back from a week or two ago
You were standing there, about to leave for home
Did you feel the same as we said our last goodbyes?
Could you hear it in my voice or see it in my eyes?
(Chorus)
It's all I could do to watch you standing next to him
Wanna tell you everything, but where would I begin?
Only known your for a week, but I feel I'm falling fast
Won't you just give me one chance, I know that we could last...
I know that we could last.
I lay back upon my bed, replay scenes in my head
Visions of you and me, then I drift on back to reality
Wish I could find the words to make my feelings clear to you
There's no description for the way I feel when I look at you.
Chorus 2x
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling...without you.

"Run Away" -E. Williams
Dissapating fears I can't hold
Highway stretches on, stories untold
Just fall away from bitter times
Learn to live and don't ask why.
Just run away with me.
(Chorus)
So many times I've fallen short
I was held down and I needed more
I turned away, turned away from it all
In losing "life" I found it all.
So wipe away cold, sour tears
Cut all your ties from hated years
We'll leave tonight, no regrets
All the bad times you'll soon forget.
Just run away with me.
Chorus 2x

"Where Do We Go From Here?" -E. Williams
(FEAR THE UNKNOWN)
Smiling eyes come through the invisible screen of Virtuality
I always wondered what it would be like to finally see
The face to which I've talked to for hours, hidden behind a screen
To know the voice of the one who knows so much about me.
(Chorus)
Where do we go from here?
Will curiosity finally beat out all the fear?
Where do we go from here?
The sound of your voice I want to hear
Where do we go from here?
Will curiosity finally beat out all the fear?
Where do we go from here?
What will finally make it clear?
Hypnotizing glare of emotions confined to the box
Things in common, if you look I'm sure you'll see a lot
Talk is cheap, but words are something you just can't knock
Time is still as minutes pass by on the clock.
Chorus 2x

"Mask" -E. Williams
(FEAR THE UNKNOWN)
No one to feel the burn the ice of the desert brings
Grabbing hold of cracked glass and fools' gold, so fit for kings
Feel there's so much left to lose, nothing left to gain
Now all the tables turned, pleasure now is pain.
(Chorus)
Holding on to your memory slipping away
It happened too fast to last for a moment's time
Keep on pretending everything's okay
Is putting on my outward mask such a crime?
By and by, I sell my lies to those who need a truth
Throwing in some free philosophy
Part by part, I tear apart your valued wall of safety
And learn to trust your gullibility
Chorus 2x

"The Ballad of Wally" -A. Cote
(FEAR THE UNKNOWN)
This is the ballad of a rodent I knowed
He lost his life on the side of the road
Wally Woodchuck, a good friend of mine
Victim of his own place and time.
Sunny morning; where are you?
Somewhere else, somewhere aloof.
But Wally I know, was about to cross
When a car came cruisin, and a woodchuck was lost.
Wally left behind a pretty good life.
Thirteen kids to his 15th wife.
But thats the way it goes down in woodchuck land
And it doesn't really help if you're a ladies' man.
(And Wally was a ladies' man)

"Ninth Life" -E. Williams
(FEAR THE UNKNOWN)
Here I am, stuck in a mess again
Drinking undiluted 100% emotion
Which way do I turn when I know there's no way to win?
Head spinnin' round in a big blue ocean, a commotion.
(Chorus)
Take a puff of life, the legal drug
Take me in, take my picture - I'm the county thug
If I don't slow down, sure to meet my death
What comes next? This is my ninth life, ninth life.
They say life's short, so burn the candle at both ends
The problem is, I'm runnin' out of wax
Out of ideas, my sleeve is out of tricks again
A wall's the best listener - it never will talk back, never turn its back.
Chorus 2x

"Where I'm Headed To" -E. Williams
(FEAR THE UNKNOWN)
No one to hold me, slow me down, control me
No sensible sense of sensitivity
Collapsing world, wrath unfurled
Charging up ahead is where I'll be.
(Chorus)
This time of day, got no time to lose
Eventually, I'll have to pay my dues
Don't need no directions, what good would they do
When I don't even know where I'm headed to?
Rebellious ideals are the swords that I wield
The sword beats out the pen in the game that I play
Cut off the lamps, crank up the amps
Night is what you've waited for all day.
Chorus
