Dead Dream 02:50
I've had my share of Hollywood / and I want to leave this place for good / it turns out I don't have what it takes / I let myself down / I let myself down / I want to leave this dream for dead (2x) / I've wasted so much of my time / killing my liver and my mind / and now I feel so fucking numb / I'm disappointed in the person I've become / I want to leave this dream for dead (4x)
2.
Empty 02:02
Walking down the sad city lane / in the frigid pouring rain / all alone I have no one to call / on my own but walking tall / no control I have nothing to lose / I can choose to die / no I refuse / I will survive another day / I'm never looking back at that alley way / because it's empty / empty / empty / empty / Passing by the dim boulevard / shoot the moon that floats afar / I'm at the bar drunk by myself / and nobody knows that I need help / but look abroad the sun is coming up / stars are fading / my mind is stuck / where I'm at is where I need to be / never in my life have I felt so free / and empty / empty / empty / empty
3.
Why 01:51
I offer you my heart / and you spit in my eye / you try to make me laugh / and I make you cry / Why do we hurt each other? / You make me hit the bottle / I drive you crazy / You say I try too hard / but I think you're lazy / Why do we hurt each other? / Why?
4.
Life 03:25
Life is a drag / come to terms with it / and you will know what it means to be happy / life is a drag / my friend, don't you forget / learn how to laugh when you're stuck in a rut / life is a drag / happiness is what we all want / but we always have to fight for it / life is a drag / I can imagine a perfect world / but I guarantee it's never gonna happen / no, no, no / life is a drag / there is beauty in sadness / all you have to do is open up your mind / life is a drag / we are all doomed to die / and when we do / that may be it.
5.
Fools 02:23
Woman, I can't sleep at night / because I can't stop thinking about you / I have so much love to give / and I want to give it all to you / but I know / fools rush in / and I don't want to lose you / Do you remember / the road-like reflection of the moon on the sea / that one night / we spent together? / I can't hold back my love for you / but I know / fools rush in / and I don't want to lose you
