(September 1996)
There I Go Again :: There I go again Thinking that I fit in There I go again Breaking when I should bend There I go again There I go There I go again There I go again Thinking I had a friend There I go again Beginning when I should end There I go again... I'm sick of showy seeming Of a life that's half a lie Of faces lined with scheming In the crowds that hurry by There I go again Thinking that I fit in There I go again Breaking when I should bend There I go again...
The Darkest Place :: I've got that funny feeling again like my heart's spinning in my chest i hear the voices call my name think that running might be best it's the darkest place you ever saw the big gray house where i live i don't call it living there at all just a space to empty out my days if i had the time to find a place to sit me down full face to face well it might be then i'd see my soul go tumbling toward some shining goal if i had the time to learn from you how much for comfort my word would do and i told you then my sudden will could you know the way i feel? wish that i could say i'll miss this town wish i had someone to tell goodbye i'm sorry if i let you down i just have to go i don't know why if i had the time to find a place to sit me down full face to face well it might be then i'd see my soul go tumbling toward some shining goal
A Perfect Day :: Heaven hates who it hates who knows the reason why and this looks like a perfect day to spread my wings and fly climb the stairs to the top of the world could i touch the sky? if i did it now would anyone care? that another lonely kid chose to die heaven hates who it hates who knows the reason why? fill my lungs with the morning air feel my heart pounding in my chest the only thing that matters is that i still care think somehow today i might have been blessed heaven hates who it hates who knows the reason why and this looks like a perfect day the day i chose not to die heaven hates who it hates who knows the reason why?

I Believed You :: The first time i saw you standing beneath a neon sign i knew you were a tragedy just waiting to happen and the red light in your eyes made you look so dangerous then you smiled and said hello and i forgot my life the streets were still soaked from a three day rain you said you'd been away so good to see the city again and i believed you...you said that vampires roamed the night we sat in an all-night movie house holding hands till dawn and why did you leave me? you said i completed you sharp and angular i'm like a piece of broken mirror
If the Light Has Gone Out :: When the sun of your life Has gone down and the clouds in the west turn to gold oh how sad all the years if the light has gone out in your soul oh just think how in debt you must feel with the light growing dim in your soul oh how lonely it would be oh how sad if the light has gone out in your soul when you come to the end of the way and life's story for you has been told oh how sad all the years will they end if the light has gone out in your soul when the chilly winds of death steal around you and the clouds hang around black as coal what a dread in your life you will feel if the light has gone out in your soul i will live a righteous life while i am here body and soul by good controlled when i come to the end of the way with the light burning bright in my soul
