BAT COUNTRY

He who makes a beast out of himself

Gets rid of the pain of being a man

Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.

I tried to drive all through the night,

The heat stroke ridden weather,

the barren empty sights.

No oasis here to see,

the sand is singing deathless words to me.

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).

Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.

My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).

No one can save me

and you know I don't want the attention.

As I adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights

will take me to new heights.

My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite.

Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right.

Mental fiction follows me;

show me what it's like to be set free.

Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).

Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.

My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).

No one can save me and you know

I don't want the attention.

So sorry you're not here

I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.

Now take a trip with me

but don't be surprised

when things aren't what they seem.

Caught here in a fiery blaze,

won't lose my will to stay.

These eyes won't see the same,

after I flip today.

Sometimes I don't know

why we'd rather live than die,

We look up towards the sky

for answers to our lives.

We may get some solutions

but more just pass us by,

Don't want your absolution

cause I can't make it right.

I'll make a beast out of myself,

gets rid of all the pain of being a man.

Can't you help me

as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).

Too many doses

and I'm starting to get an attraction.

My confidence is leaving me

on my own (all alone).

No one can save me and you know

I don't want the attention.

So sorry you're not here

I've been sane too long my vision's so unclear.

Now take a trip with me

but don't be surprised

when things aren't what they seem.

I've known it from the start all these good ideas

will tear your brain apart.

Scared but you can follow me

I'm too weird to live but much too rare to die

SEIZE THE DAY

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I’m too young to worry

These streets we travel on will undergo our same lost past

I found you here, now please just stay for a while
I can move on with you around
I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever?

I’d do anything for a smile, holding you ’til our time is done
We both know the day will come, but I don’t want to leave you

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I’m too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Newborn life replacing all of us, changing this fable we live in
No longer needed here so where do we go?
Will you take a journey tonight, follow me past the walls of death?

But girl, what if there is no eternal life?

I see my vision burn, I feel my memories fade with time
But I’m too young to worry (a melody, a memory, or just one picture)

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don’t wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

So, what if I never hold you, yeah, or kiss your lips again?
Woooaaah, so I never want to leave you and the memories of us to see
I beg don’t leave me

Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost
It’s empty and cold without you here, too many people to ache over

Trials in life, questions of us existing here, don’t wanna die alone without you here
Please tell me what we have is real

Silence you lost me, no chance for one more day [x2 then continues in the background]
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home
I stand here alone
Falling away from you, no chance to get back home

DEAR GOD

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can’t help but wish that I was there
Back where I’d love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I’m not around,
when I’m much too far away
  all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I’d stayed
’Cause I’m lonely and I’m tired
I’m missing you again oh no
Once again

There’s nothing here for me on this barren road
There’s no one here while the city sleeps
and all the shops are closed
Can’t help but think of the times I’ve had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I’m not around,
when I’m much too far away
all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I’d stayed
’Cause I’m lonely and I’m tired
I’m missing you again oh no
Once again

Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
when hope begins to fade…

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I’m not around,
when I’m much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I’d stayed
’Cause I’m lonely and I’m tired
I’m missing you again oh no
Once again

AND ALL THINGS WILL END

Lived through you, 
safe with how we lived our lives, 
with how it all turned out. 
(But things are bound to change) 
Uncovered lies, surfaced throughout, 
will make you change your mind 

Sometimes life is altered 
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right 

When I see you, I can read it in your eyes, 
fate misunderstood. 
(But things are bound to change) 
Swallowed the lies, can't blame you for, 
thinking with your heart. 

Sometimes life is altered. 
Break from the ropes your hands are tied. 
Uneasy with confrontation. 
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right 

I see my world crumble and fall, before my eyes 
I know, I know. 
Dark will turn to light, in time I'll be alright 
I know, I know 
(I never imagined my life could turn out this way 
So cold so black so alone) 

Living goes by fast, catch your breath 
and it will pass you by. 
And it won't last, to sulk with the memories you hold. 

Sometimes life is altered. 
Break from the ropes your hands are tied. 
Uneasy with confrontation. 
Won't turn out right. Can't turn out right

AFTERLIFE

Like walking into a dream, so unlike what you’ve seen
so unsure but it seems, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you’ll be back here soon anyway

I see a distant light, but girl this can’t be right
Such a surreal place to see so how did this come to be
Arrived too early

And when I think of all the places I just don’t belong
I’ve come to grips with life and realize this is going too far

I don’t belong here, we gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife

’Cause this time I’m right to move on and on, far away from here

A place of hope and no pain, perfect skies with no rain
Can leave this place but refrain, ’cause we’ve been waiting for you
Fallen into this place, just giving you a small taste
of your afterlife here so stay, you’ll be back here soon anyway

This peace on earth’s not right (with my back against the wall)
No pain or sign of time (I’m much too young to fall)
So out of place don’t wanna stay, I feel wrong and that’s my sign
I’ve made up my mind

Give me your hand but realize I just wanna say goodbye
Please understand I have to leave and carry on my own life

I don’t belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I’m right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I’ll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

Loved ones back home all crying ’cause they’re already missing me
I pray by the grace of God that there’s somebody listening
Give me a chance to be that person I wanna be
(I am unbroken; I’m choking on this ecstasy)
Oh Lord I’ll try so hard but you gotta let go of me
(Unbreak me, unchain me, I need another chance to live)

I don’t belong here, I gotta move on dear escape from this afterlife
’Cause this time I’m right to move on and on, far away from here
Got nothing against you and surely I’ll miss you
This place full of peace and light, and I’d hope you might
take me back inside when the time is right

ANTARA

Memandang ke depan,

Kurasa sukar menatapnya

Menoleh ke belakang,

Kurasa  takut melihatnya

Dengan kedua rasa

Yang tak tentu untuk ku pilih jalannya

Ku rangkul sisi kiri

Juga kanan dari sayap ini

Untuk menenangkan hati yang bimbang dalam keresahan

Kala aku harus memilih melepaskan

Antara dia di sisi kananku

Dan-nya di peluk kiriku
