Slave 04:50
Sitting on my own The lights were way down low I didn’t feel at home I was 21 years old Heard a voice in my head Telling me to watch out for it Where I go don’t matter now ‘Cause I’m hooked I want out somehow I never listened to my Mamma I wouldn’t listen to my Papa They didn’t suffer the way I do Gimme sugar nothing’s better I will be a slave, I will be a slave, a slave to you I will be a slave, a slave to you Sleeping on the floor Couldn’t take no more Now I’m done don’t wanna sing Leave Montreal quit everything Sold my gear and my guitars Didn’t wanna be a star There’s no one ‘round ‘cause you see I’ve fallen There’s no one ‘round to hear me callin’ Nothing worked I know you tried I need my junk to close my eyes I will be a slave, I will be a slave, a slave to you

I hate the world we live in today I don’t wanna have to deal with anybody Too much hate and confusion It’s driving me mad When my children are worried I say Yeah, Daddy’s gonna make it ok And yet I know damn well This is one promise I just may not keep So I keep on pushin’ I don’t care if it kills me I keep pushin’ No one’s ever gonna tell me who to be We’re living in a corporate world That only wants to rule everybody The intoxication of power Is unrestrained Where we are right now I just know it ain’t right It won’t change nothing even if you cry But I’m afraid it is now so obvious We all serve somebody So I keep on pushin’ I don’t care if it kills me I keep pushin’ No one’s ever gonna tell me who to be

Come Save Me 03:48
Now the wind is blowing All the snow from the trees And now I feel that I’m heading to That place I don’t like to be What is it that triggers it? Maybe I just don’t fit No more snow now it’s raining No more white all is grey Oh Baby it makes me sad Oh Baby it makes me feel so mad How come every time I feel alright Something tears me apart in the middle of the night Come save me, come save me Not everything is perfect And we don’t need it to be I always feel something’s missing What is it I truly need? Perhaps I think too much You’d say I’m too self-centered Am I too blind to see? That everybody suffers Oh Baby it makes me sad Oh Baby it makes me feel so mad How come every time I feel alright Something tears me apart in the middle of the night Come save me, come save me

Motionless 03:48
Watching you running ‘round I sat there motionless A blanket deafened the ground Nothing but emptiness When it comes and grips you You can’t help but be afraid I’m not alone it ain’t just me Right now you’re all so mighty But you’re gonna get old You get sick you know you’re dying You’re gonna decompose You might be up but you’re gonna go down You wish you could turn it all around Motionless you will come to be Every day in your car You don’t know where you are You live your whole life in chains Then watch it fall apart When it comes and hits you You can’t help but be amazed Now you can see don’t be afraid Right now you’re all so mighty But you’re gonna get old You get sick you know you’re dying You’re gonna decompose You might be up but you’re gonna go down You wish you could turn it all around Motionless you will come to be

Honey 04:11
My honey she told me If she caught me playing around My honey she told me She’d put me straight under ground Don’t say it Can’t fake it My baby’s never gonna let me down Yeah honey it’s not easy I’m always clowning around My honey she knows me Inside out upside down Don’t say it Can’t fake it My baby’s never gonna let me down Can’t change it So be it My baby’s never gonna do me wrong

Poison in the lakes and rivers Only garbage in the seas Soil erosion where will we go? Toxic air we cannot breathe Climate changes, global warming Carbon footprint, fossil energies Ecosystems broken, failing Maybe it’s too late to make a change? It’s up to you now To make your world a better place It’s up to you now Fight for justice, fight for peace It’s up to you now Always hold you head up high It’s up to you now ‘Cause I’m too old too weak to fight It’s up to you now Hold on to your brothers and sisters It’s up to you now We can only make this work together Endangered species are exposed Wildlife extermination Depleted forests, expanding deserts Barren land where nothing grows Genetic engineering Toxic waste, radioactive needs No sustainable communities Maybe it’s too late to make a change?

This Place 04:25
I hear a dog that keeps barking I hear some children playing And if my heart could stop breaking I’d lose the fear and seize the day Down the hall I think they’re talking Whispering my name I know I’m mad and if I’m guilty I just may not get out today Watching my life slip away I never saw this place before I’m scared I don’t know where I am I think I pushed myself too far I can’t get up I keep falling I’m so confused I can’t decide Do I wanna live or do I wanna die? I feel it’s time to stop running I’m gonna welcome my pain I’ll sit and wait here for the answers Sit still and wait here for days Watching my life slip away I never saw this place before I’m scared I don’t know where I am I think I pushed myself too far I can’t get up I keep falling I’m so confused I can’t decide Do I wanna live or do I wanna die?

I Believe 03:45
I believe, I believe I’m sinking down I believe, I believe I’m sinking down Nobody can reach me Nobody can touch me now I believe, I believe I’m running out I believe, I believe I’m running out Nobody can catch me Nobody can hold me now I believe, I believe I’m falling apart I believe, I believe I’m falling apart Nobody can help me Mend my broken heart Nobody can help me No, I’m falling apart
