1. _ Lost At 22
If I knew what to do I'd do it.
If I knew where to go I'd get there someday.
If I knew where to fly I'd fly away, forget about life for a while.
But it never is that easy to just pick up and go and do as you're told like.
'cause life never works out that way.
If it were true the skies would be full everyday.
If I knew how to fly, I'd fly away.
If I knew how to fly, I'd fly away.
If I knew how to fly, I knew how to fly away.
Well I'm lost at 22 and I've got no fucking clue.
No I don't know if things will work out right.
I'm lost and confused.
I'm lost at 22 and I don't know if my life's gonna end up right.
'cause they keep on telling me that I'm young, dumb and naive.
But that's just what they want me to believe.
Well I'd rather be lost at sea than become part of this society.
Where the grass is always green and the air is always clean.
At least that's what they want me to believe.
At least that's what they want me to believe.
I'm lost at 22.
I'm lost at 22.
I'm lost.

2. _ Other Side Of The River
There's blood on the floor and you're not even moving.
Don't really know if it's mine or yours but you ain't moving.
Eyes are wide as you grin at me.
You know there's a place where you rather would be.
If you should die and I survive, how could I go on knowing that I'm still alive?
Here breathing.
There's a beast that's living deep within me.
Forcing me to feed all my needs.
Yeah he's in me.
And he brought us here to end our fears.
To wave goodbye to all of the tears.
To start a new live on the other side of the river.
Well my world would be over.
My world would be over.
Hold on, hold on, I won't be long.
Wait for me, man, I won't be long.
You were such in a rush to reach the other side.
Look at yourself with that look in your eye.
Smiling wide, pre-occupied with that river.
Well my world would be over.
My world would be over.

3. _ Ugly
Have you ever woke up screaming?
Have you ever woken alone?
When the walls around you won't stop laughing
Where do you go?
Sweat seeps in your eyes at night
And you realize
That no one understands you at all
Well I was bound to have a nervous breakdown
Should've seen it coming from miles away
So I packed my bags and started running
My brain's been shaking since yesterday
But there's only so far you can run boy
There's only so far to leave your problems behind
'cause when the problem's yourself you start thinking
No matter how far
You'll never leave it behind
No one understands me at all
Now I'm 22 with still no clue
Of who I am or what I'm supposed to be
I know it to you it sounds funny
You've got it worked out like it's a fuckin' disease
Started asking myself do I fit in?
Where I belong
Could this really be me?
Been feeling downright ugly
Tell me is this the way it's supposed to be?
So what's the difference?
You're doing fine
The clock keeps ticking as you lose your mind
The one you need to call you
Never calls
Sweat seeps in your eyes at night
And you realize
That no one understands you at all

4. _ Drained
They'll make you or break you
They'll swallow you whole
They'll find you and bind you
To every word that they own
But you know that you need them
So you continue to feed them
So I hope that you're in this
For all the right reasons
They can't make you feel something you don't believe in
But they can threathen your future
And everything in it
When you fail to remember just where you've been
When you can't tell up from down
How do you write from within?
And all I know is that they're
They're trying to squeeze me dry
They told me
They own me
And all I know is that they're
They're trying to squeeze me dry
I look in the mirror and what do I see?
A man staring back at me who used to be me
He looks so familiar
He once had big dreams
But I can see that he's been drained of his soul and integrity

5. _ I Regret
I know my days are numbered.
I've been in and out of this phase.
But these days keep passing me by.
Good (god) never comes my way.
Try to sit back and relax.
Try and think of something good.
Something else and something pure.
I can't but I know I should.
Things I should have said.
Things that I regret.
And I regret.
No more waiting for something better to come along.
It's much easier to change me than it's to change them all.
Things I should have said and things that I regret.
I need to shed all my skin and start again.
Things I should have said.
Things that I regret.
And I regret.
And every turn I make is wrong.
I haven't smiled in so long.
Shed my skin and start again.
Shed my skin and start again.
The memories that I once had,
of all the good good good good times we all used to have.
Shed my skin and start again
Shed my skin and start again

6. _ Seasons
It disturbs me to see that you're growing old.
It concerns me to be the one you want to hold.
Too busy running on fuel, thank God you made it through.
Let's spend the times we've missed and turn these days to gold.
Too busy running on fuel, thank God you made it through.
Let's spend the times we've missed and turn these days to gold.
And turn these days to gold.
Lost as father and son.
Bring us back together as one.
Seasons change and so did your son.
Strife with emotions that can't be one.
Too busy running on fuel, thank God you made it through.
Let's spend the times we've missed and turn these days to gold.
Want to hand you a piece, of my delicate heart.
This song is to uplift you and not to tear you apart.
Father's lost in the mountains.
But no mountain I can't see.
But if that mountain should crumble come crumble on top of me.

7. _ How it would be
I wonder how it would be if my mother was still around
The types of talk
The relationships we could have had
The three of us
Me, you and Dad
My mouth went dry
My stomach felt queasy too
So empty and scared
It's all because of you
A dead body that turned out not to be dead
No one understands
Wish I really knew what happened to my mom
Because my family they told me nothing but lies
They figured if they just told me the truth
I'd break down and cry
Feel betrayed and hurt
Profoundly insecure
Want to knock ten times on heaven's door
Still suffering from old emotional wounds
I was getting worse
Can't depend on them and their lies
Why did see leave?
How did she die?
And when it gets colder outside
I'll be back next year
With that feeling to make me cry
Wanna go visit her grave
Because it's been a long, long time
Want to pick a peach rose
And rest it on its side
Say a prayer eventhough I don't believe
And say goodbye
Don't get me wrong
I have a mind to keep me strong
But there's this feeling of not knowing what went wrong
And how she's dead and gone
Don't think anyone thinks
Of you as much as I do

8. _ Redemption Song
Oh pirates, yes they rob us
Sold I to the merchant ships
Minutes after they took I
From the bottomless pit
But my hand was made strong
By the hand of the almighty
He fought in this generation
Triumphantly
[chorus]
Won't you help me sing
These songs of freedom
'cause all i ever had
Redemption song
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery
None but ourselves can free our minds
Have no fear for atomic energy
'cause none o' them can stop the time
How long will they kill our prophets
While we stand around and look?
Some say it's just a part of it
We got's to fulfill the book
[chorus]

9. _ Damned If I Do
Why do I feel so alone in a crowd of people I know
Is it wrong to feel so insecure so unappealing?
Why walk around in disguise with a fake grin on my face?
What would it prove?
What would I gain?
I'd still feel so out of place
Damned if I do
Damned if I don't
But I won't turn out like you
Midlife crisis at the age of 22
Who knew?
I need some answers
Cross the street and down the avenue
I stopped for the woman
Paid five bucks and got my palm read
And she said
You shouldn't be smiling boy
This life line says you're allready dead
Just keep on moving forward never turning back
But with every step ahead I take they pull me two steps back
They pull me two steps back

10. _ Fears
No one knows what it's like
No one knows how it feels
Nothing else cpould compare to the fears I fear
And I've been on my own
Struggling all alone
And all I have are these clothes on my back and this song
I never had much I never believed I could be
Someone, somehow, somebody
Said goodbye to all my childhood hopes and dreams
Time to grow up and accept real life responsibilities
Listen
Won't you listen to the things I have to say
'cause it just might affect the way that you think about
How you live from day to day
It may be easy for you
But it seems like hell to me

11. _ Coffee Break
The most comfortable place isn't comfortable anymore
I feel so out of place
No one knows me for sure
I have this guilty conscience
And made an effort not to be me
I feel like a certain somebody
But I know I can be me
Too many people try to put me down
not accept me for me
I was insulted the other night
..... it's not me
...
I try to sing my songs
But I have trouble with that too
The hardest thing to imagine
is what comes next
Don't have strength don't have courage
When you're lacking confidence
I won't let this feeling end
'cause it might not come again
... and you know it's not you
I try to sing my songs
But I have trouble with that too
The most comfortable place isn't comfortable
Did you ever feel out of place?
'cause you're not comfortable?
I won't let this feeling end
'cause it might not come again

12. _ Unstable
This cancer is killing me
As much as it is killing you
If it takes you away from me
I don't know what I would do
Just try for some peace of mind
But it's so hard to find
It's so hard to just sit and wait
And wait some more
Staring at the door
Skim through the magazines
Pretend like everything's gonna be allright
Although you know it won't be
Unstable
It's hard to be the one who's strong
He's always got a shoulder to cry on
He's got a shoulder for me
When I'm about to break down
You're (Who's ?) never around
But maybe it's better that way
You've got enough to worry about
You've got your hands full, don't you
Don't you see?
This cancer is killing me
Like it's killing you
Mentally
Unstable
And all I really want to know if she's gonna be allright
'cause she's been in there a long, long time
And I've been out there losing my mind
You're scared
You're frightened
You're so afraid of what he may say
But you try and be brave
For me sitting impatiently
In the lobby of emergency
You burst on through that door with this look on your face
I've never seen before
You explode into endless tears
Whisper in my ear
Baby
Baby
I've only got one more year
Unstable

13. _ Let's Pretend
In the stilness of the night my eyes are closed.
My mouth is wide.
I could see her face.
Her beautifull hair I could recognize.
She looks at me cold.
She probably don't know who I am.
Mommy it is me, it's Keith.
You had me back when...
But sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me, that she holds me.
Sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me, that she holds me.
I guess I can't, 'cause she doesn't know who I am.
My mind it's dreaming, God it's so misleading.
Do you thing it's 'cause I've grown old.
Is it true that what I was told?
You cried to leave me?
You know I know it's not your fault.
You had a husband who was (now you're ?) selfish and cold.
Believe me I know.
And now I hear you used to treat me cold.
You disappeared and left me all alone.
I'm sure you didn't know right from wrong.
'cause both of you were always getting stoned.
But sometimes I like to pretend.
But sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me
Sometimes I like to pretend, that she holds me.
Sometimes I like to pretend, that she knows me.
Sometimes I like to pretend, that she holds me.
I guess I can't, 'cause she doesn't know who I am.

14. _ Don't You (Forget About Me)
Won't you come see about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Tell me your troubles and doubts
Give it everything inside and out
Love strange, so real in the dark
Think of the tender things that we were working on
Slow change may pull us apart
When our life gets in to your heart baby
Don't you, forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you, forget about me
Don't you, try and pretend
It's my feeling we'll win in the end
I won't harm you or touch your defences
Vanity, insecurity
Don't you forget about me
I'll be alone, dancing you know it baby
Come to, I'll take you apart
I'll put us back together at heart baby
Don't you, forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't you, forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Will you stand above me?
Look my way, never love me?
Rains keeps falling,
Rains keeps falling down.
Hey hey hey hey hoo yeah
Don't you, forget about me
Don't, don't, don't, don't
But you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk on by
Will you call my name?
As you walk away
When you walk away
When you walk away
Come on baby call my name
I say, will you call my name?
I say lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala........
Will you call my name, baby
Won't you please let me feel like ..?..
I know I feel you
Let me see my hands before you
Let me see your hands before me
I said why don't you call my name
I need, want you to call my name
I need you to call my name
