Before 02:38
I had so much to say before sunshine came But standing in the day the light put me to shame The beauty of the fade, forgiveness of the night Though every moment made is broken by the light Who sees me? Who really see me at all? Who sees me? Who really see me at all? I'm in the conscious world surrounded by the sound Though as the days unfold my voice cannot be found The solace of the haze, the shadows of the mind The moon in final phase is leaving me behind Who sees me? Who really see me at all? Who sees me? Who really see me at all?

Outside 03:06
If I could find another way I'd be sure to let you know Keep in mind, there's only one way out so It's the way to go If we wait here a moment longer, here below We just might jeopardise our future Even though we like where we hide We've tried, so it's time to go outside Hazy eyed, we've had our moments in this place we know Side by side, we've shared the darkness, now we need to Share the glow If there was sunlight here then maybe we would grow But there's no life in our surroundings Rivers flow, but from tears we've cried We've tried, now it's time to go outside On the outside, on the outside we won't cry On the outside, on the outside we won't cry

Hoarder 03:48
Going through this house, room to room Burying myself I really don't have an answer to how it got like this Shelf to shelf Wall to wall, door to door Where are the windows? Where is the floor? Stuck inside a trap of possessions A visual exhibition of my obsessions But this, who's to blame This manufactured world from which these objects came? But this, who's to blame This manufactured world from which these objects came? Every object becomes a treasure But I'm the only one who finds any pleasure Dreams gone astray, no follow through Distorted wishes won't come true Piece by piece, it becomes too much to measure Pain is formed by things of leisure But this, who's to blame This manufactured world from which these objects came? But this, who's to blame This manufactured world from which these objects came? No one's allowed through the door No one comes here anymore

Two Years 03:59
It's been two years, two years have gone Now another soul moves on Who'd have thought that we would see Another friend leave so early? What can prepare you for this pain When their passing seems in vain? Who'd have though two friends would be Confined to realm of memory? And we'll forever hear their sound We'll forever hear their song Their words, their face, their joy, their heart, their love The time we've shared upon life's stage Seems to be too short a page Though our dialogue is through We will always remember you Friends and family mourn and cry As they say their last goodbye May we find some solace now And let them take their final bow

Share Life 04:30
What's life if you've got no one, and all you have is lonesome days Who's life will you change and help them through their troubled ways 'Cause our life is so precious, you can't through it all away It's our time to be together, so learn from what our loved ones say 'Cause they won't always be there So share life It's hard to live alone, and you don't have to so Just share life Spend time with your friends and with the people that you love Give love to your family and all the ones you're thinking of Don't hate, it's not worth it, you know the right thing to do Don't wait 'til it's too late, tell them what they mean to you 'Cause they won't always be there So share life It's hard to live alone, and you don't have to so Just share life I know you know what I mean But you say so what, so what You try to pretend that you don't really care but I know you do So persistent to ignore the things that mean the most Don't ignore it anymore I see you searching for a reason I see you searching for a reason I see you searching for the truth Hear what your loved ones say to you You are part of this, part of who we are Do not hide When you don't know why, just remember that We're alive So make the most of it, make the most of it, While we're alive Make the most of it, make the most of it 'Cause we're alive We won't always be here So share life It's hard to live alone, and you don't have to so Just share life Share life

I'm still here, I said I'd never go But my dear, you will never know Falling down the well, you'd never tell that I'm in love I'll be there trying to stand up tall 'Cause I don't want you to see me fall Walking 'round the side, trying to hide my love You are sweet, sweeter than you believe Without you, my foolish heart would grieve Standing in the rain, I know I'm insane, but I'm in love I'm still here, falling into your arms But my dear, you never knew your charms Underneath a spell, and you can tell that I'm in love
