Slipped into Tomorrow

"Still in the Game"
Fools are runnin' our lives here on earth
Where I'm going
Nobody's waiting for me
You are the hero that's giving me one more real chance
I'll see you around when nobody knows where you are

What are you waiting for
Are you waiting for me
Why are you leaving my poor heart

Where will you go
Leaving my heart here stone cold
You better run
I'm still in the game; yeah

You are the healer
Give me some wisdom in life
I see you hangin' on, sending your troops, it's not right

What are you waiting for
Are you waiting for me
Why are you leaving my poor heart

I'll be alone somehow
How can we live with these lies
Ohhh will we all disappear

We've all given our hearts and our soul
Into a world that's been reborn
Where will you go
Leaving my heart here stone cold
You better run
I'm still in the game; yeah

"Waiting on You"
Runninī around in circles
Canīt drink ya off my mind
Hanginī around the day
Sure does pass the time
Remember all those places we would just hide away
From all the empty faces
In who we once believed

The way I feel about you
Life is a drag without ya

Waiting on you

I'm getting out of here
The sun is going down
Obsessions taken over I feel it everywhere
Seems like I'm moving closer
so you can set me free
The time arrives too slowly
Your shadows watching me

The way I feel about you
Life's a drag without ya

Waiting on you

"Blackscape"
I go down to the water
Listen to the ocean there from far away
Tales of old they remind me
I know you were right the re by my side disappeared
Your killing yourself you will soon see
We're looking through the eyes of the age

Close your eyes and I'll see you in another place
When we're headed from the storm
A million years from now we'll know

Are you leaving forever
You've reached the end of the line, my friend
Ya know the answers are with you
Beyond a Blackscape of Stars away

I remember the first time I saw you
It was like a thunder in the sky
Then I realized that I would be free
Into your spirit I will soon be

Now I've found you in this strange place
From the depths we are reborn
A million years from now we'll know

Are you leaving forever
You've reached the end of the line, my friend
Ya know the answers are with you
Beyond a Blackscape of Stars away

In the ocean where the creeps run fast
The memories they will surpass
I long to be with you at last
It ain't easy when you're living fast

"Tico's Life"
Rise up from the ocean, turn back from a time
Findin' a connection seem to find the rhyme
Slipped into tomorrow
Search for yesterday
All of the answers in the world that set me free

Where will I go
How will I know
Where will I go
I would love to find direction without a word, yeah

Walkin' through emotions
Readin' all the signs
Changin' my direction
Seasons left behind

Where will I go
How will I know
Where will I go
I would love to find direction without a word, yeah

Is the news getting old
Was it a lie
All that we had
Old memories pass
Now ya know that we cared

Where will I go
How will I know
Where will I go
I would love to find direction without a word, yeah

Is the news getting old
I found love on your road
I can't leave it all behind

Tico's Life
He's going back now
Where is he now
Fallin' from grace
Eagles fly
Into the ocean
I will approach this final devotion
I am the law
I am the lost

"Nobdy Answers"
You've dug yourself into a hole
Seems like you're out of control
Disguising the truth with lies
Worn out with sands of time

Push a little harder and drive a little faster to get a line
Ya know that ain't right
You're going nowhere

Promises never came true
This symphonies way out of tune
I see you graspin' for air
Reach out but you're not there

Nobody Answers No One Can Tell
Nobody Answers I thought I knew you well

Runnin' from the past, ya know ya crossed the line
Drugs are nothin' but a bet with your mind

Nobody Answers the call of the bell
Nobody hears you alone cryin' for help
Where are you going
No one can tell
Nobody Answers I thought I knew you well

"Loosing My Mind"
When you're looking from the outside you always think
Life is just a game
When ya know that I've been down and lonely
There is no one else to blame

Where you belong
Is ist wrong or right
Where is the life that you long to see

Chasing shadows they will understand
You better listen to my words
I'm tearin' out caged emotions
Throw them to the wind

Climbin' the walls
Disconnected from my mind
All these illusions they are hard too see

Feel like I'm loosing my mind
Nobody knows it but I
Feel like I'm loosin' my mind
It keeps me walkin' through time

What is the crime
To feel the pain inside
Loosing my mind

Turn myself around yeah
I've got to know who I am
Will I live forever
What you know is what you get

Feel like I'm loosing my mind
Nobody knows it but I
Feel like I'm loosin' my mind
It keeps me walkin' through time

Can I find some peace of mind
Or leave it behind
All of this confusion
I've got to know what it is
To get it together
What you know is what you get there is no reason to forget
Your life is what you make
It's callin' from a place where we meet

Shadows watching over you
Time will tell there's something new for me
Nothing will remain
Nothing can remain 
I will turn my head around

See a face that seems so bright it's true
Nothing will remain
Nothing can remain
Shadows watching over you
Time will tell there's something new for me
Nothing will remain
Nothing can remain
I will turn my head around
See a face that seems so bright it's true

"Freedom Is My Truth"
Ahhh, turn your head around and see the light shining bright
Ahhh, you draw it unto you all that you think and do it's the Law

What goes up comes down and 'round
It all comes back to you
What's in is out
It's me and you
Freedom is my truth

Ahhh, I saw you laugh at me and now the jokes on you
It feels alright
How could I have sympathized I internalized, I was confused

What goes up comes down and 'round
It all comes back to you
What's in is out
It's me and you
Freedom is my truth

Ahhh, look at your reflection
Is there someone there
What is your sign

You're not a face in the crowd
I see the lines on your face
Every time you come around
Disappear with no trace 

What goes up comes down and 'round
It all comes back to you
What's in is out
It's me and you
Freedom is my truth

"Veda"
Smoke will fill these skies with tears
Fills my eyes all though the years
Will the light beam disappear or rise up to conquer fear
What can I do
Wait here for you
Take my hand my child of time
Knowin' the truth, Answers untold
Riddles uncovered in ancient scrolls
Drownin' in a sea of pain
Can we live with this old shame
No one takes away the blame
Mother earth be free again
Veda won't wait there at the gate
We've got to change before it's too late
Takin' our time burnin' our lives
Lookin' through a hole in the sky

All the seas that have burned
Nothin' can change in a day
All the seas that have burned
Damage is done all the way

Life on earth is such a waste
Will we move to Mars one day
Waking up it's time to leave
Lining up will we succeed
Thinking of you what will you do
Destiny see us travelin' through
Freedom is gold Precious the soul
Foolish are those who are growin' cold

All the seas that have burned
Nothin' can change in a day
All the seas that have burned
Damage is done all the way

All the seas that have burned
Somebody take me away
All the seas that have burned
Will we all find our way

Have we used all that we have
Will we use the rhymes that we have
Nobody has ever fallen while down on the ground
Nobody is callin' to turn this around

"Songs of Yesterday"
When I look into your eyes
I know it's a betrayal
Staring down from far away
Hangin' around is like being locked in a jail
Ya know it ain't easy, right babe

Ohh it's not the right way
You're living out a lie
I can see it in your eyes
Ohh you can't go back, no more, my friend
You're wearing a disguise
Hidin' from your fears
Living out a lie without a care

Some people get down when there on the road
some people get down when they're all alone
When you're around you always think you know
the answers to all the
questions in the sky

Ohh it's not the right way
You're living out a lie
I can see it in your eyes
Ohh you can't go back, no more, my friend
You're wearing a disguise
Hidin' from your fears
Living out a lie without a care

When I look into your eyes
I know it's a betrayal
Staring down from far away
Hangin' around is like being locked in a jail
Ya know it ain't easy, right babe

Ohh it's not the right way
You're living out a lie
I can see it in your eyes
Ohh you can't go back, no more, my friend
You're wearing a disguise
Hidin' from your fears
Living out a lie without a care

All of your dreams may pass
Song's of yesterday that's fading away
Hold on to what you have
Before it slips away Spirit Slips Away, Oh Yeah

"Killer Without a Cause"
He made a big impression
When he walked across the room
and I must make my confession
I might if spoke too soon

He's a killer without a cause
Time has come to settle scores

On the streets he lives again
Down the alley around the bend
On the beat beneath the lights
An angel comes to claim the night

From the streets this rebel Shall Rise
And his soul shall soar to the skies
;
The same old confrontation
At the bar in the saloon
But it's just another tricky situation
The underworld operation lies in Ruiry

He's a killer without a cause
Time has come to settle scores

On the streets he lives again
Down the alley around the bend
On the beat beneath the lights 
An angel comes to claim the night

From the streets this rebel Shall Rise
And his soul shall soar to the skies

"Center of Balance" (live)
I've watched the life in the land where
Pharaoh reigned
Known messiahs lead the common man
Watched the ocean turn to sand again
From the beginning and the end
So taste the light it's never bad
Don't try to guide it now it's all arranged
Can't you see your way will never lost
People roam the earth & never gain

There in the parting of the ocean
Center of all that's displayed
Before the creation you'll never know
Patiently waiting your fate
sp;
Meet me at the station
Travel in the soul
Tearing out the farm
Held me down for way too long
Counteract the stranglehold
She's still holding on till fall

Been all around the place to find an aim
Driven out, caged and tied
You'll know we all leave the same
Can you know what's real
And lead the way
Slipped off the boat in the ocean
Maybe you'll wash on the shore
Taking a trip to the overload
Run out of space going home

Meet me at the station
Travel in the soul
Gravity on the other side
Held me down for way too long
Counteract the stranglehold
She's still holding on and on

She's weary
She'll rise
She breaks
She cries
