Abandoned, blinded by This dream‐like mirage that’s clouding my eyes Once maligned, the pain inside Gives voice to the doubts within my mind You left me, my dearest friend Broke my heart and gave yourself to him Given the choice, who would you take? The man who wants your body or the boy who loves your face? This is what I once believed That the heart’s prisoner could be reprieved I’ve prayed aloud and cried in vain My love for her bled while I died calling out her name Is she the one that’s been eluding me? Her death grip on my heart so tight I can’t get free There’s an angel in the rain, waiting for me I’ve been looking for her, but I just can’t see What’s in front of my face or what I have in my hands And I let her slip away before I dared to take a chance Oh dear God, help me please Send me someone who knows and understands Will help me brave the darkening storm, all the while holding my hand I can’t seem to find her and my weakening hopes are growing thin You thrust me into this pit of sin to fight a battle I could never win I’ve prayed aloud and cried in vain My love for you bled while I died calling out your name Are you the one that’s been eluding me? Your death grip on my heart so tight I can’t get free You’re the angel in the rain, waiting for me I’ve been looking for you, but I just can’t see What’s in front of my face or what I have in my hands And I let you slip away before I dared to take a chance Can fair lovers’ bloom survive With the city crashing down before their eyes? Will you permit me to Take a piece of myself and give it to you? Keep it safe and hide it away To remember me by when the sky turns gray Don’t forget me or I’ll surely die Is it our blood or our thoughts that keep us alive? Believe in us and don’t despair What was once long lost can now be repaired You think you can say what you said to me and just walk away? You think you can do what you did to me and still dare to look me in the face? You think you can say what you said to me and just walk away? You think you can do what you did to me and still dare to look me in the face?

Breaking down, our time won’t last Turn the wheel hard, take the overpass The sky above pounds the ground with light Sit back, take a drag and try to relax Grab your stuff, it’s time to go Check you’re all set to rock and roll Take the plunge to play the game We know we won, but lost the same Life ain’t easy, no one said it was Keep treading water, try to rise above We’ve got the push, reach for higher thrills Of guns, cash, tickets and blood to spill Looks like I’ve been running blind Gotta catch the outbound, better luck next time I’m here in the now, I’ll see you later Better a dead friend than a living traitor Give me the time of day I’ll show you the lives that you could have saved Zero hour, time to let it fly In just ninety seconds we’re set for life All that you need is the grit and drive That need to feel alive when you take the ride Get in, get out, make sure you’re clean We stand for something, we fight the machine When all is broken and all is gone What will you have to rebuild on? Life ain’t easy, no one said it was Keep treading water, try to rise above We’ve got the push, reach for higher thrills Of guns, cash, tickets and blood to spill Looks like I’ve been running blind Gotta catch the outbound, better luck next time I’m here in the now, I’ll see you later Better a dead friend than a living traitor Tell me your point of view Don’t do what they say just ’cause they told you to Listen to yourself, feel the rage inside Make the right choice before you run out of time This is the way that it has to be Your life has a price it isn’t free The way I live is my own choice You chose to live by another’s voice Leave me now, just leave me alone I can’t do that ’cause of the things you’ve done I’ll walk the line, I’ll stay on track You’ve made your choice now you can’t back I’m smarter than you, I’ll stay ahead I know you better son, I’ll see you again It’s killing me! My life ain’t easy, never said it was I keep treading water, trying to rise above I’ve got the push, I reach for higher thrills Of guns, cash, tickets and blood to spill Looks like I’ve been running blind Gotta catch the outbound, better luck next time I’m here in the now, I’ll see you later Better a dead friend than a living traitor We just lit the fuse Start the countdown now or be forced to choose: Do we take a bow and exit now Or lock and load and try to fight it out? I taught you more than this Gave you a higher goal for which to live Reject me and you reject yourself You’re beyond my power, I cannot help Get out now, go while you can The game is up, now play your hand End of the line, it looks like I will see you on the other side my friend
