On the Road 02:51
On the Road Last night I went from the west to the east side to find whatever that would make me believe. Instead I found this girl I knew I'd be stupid to please. She said "Come here pretty. Give heat to me, sweetheart" I am so tired of what girls have for needs. "I'd rather go, it's kind of late and I'm falling asleep" Should I go for it? What's the time 'cause I can't hesitate? Another way to play a game that's been always the same. There's something wrong about her and I can't say I'm surprised. She tried to tease me and I couldn't realize That I'm falling again. Things were really starting to make some sense, now it's useless to try and go away. Why can't she change her idiotic lies and pre-established ways? now i've noticed I'm fucked in every way. She's a trip to the edge but I couldn't control her. I now regret all of the things that I did. I always think before I talk but I say what I think. I said "I love your pretentious ways to get us laid, hun and that we barely had some minutes to speak" She looked at me and held my hand as we walked down the street.

Wicked Game 03:15
Wicked Game Once, I met a girl who was afraid She grabbed my hand and said “I’m going to kill myself, And I want you to witness it!” She pulled a gun and blew her brains out Right in front of me. Days came, seasons changed, Blood and brains all over my face I hate knowing her name, Knowing that someday I might As well blow my brains out Next to someone else's face It’s like a wicked game we play, But we can only play it once Once, I met a boy who wasn't afraid He was just insane, he jumped off a building After Landing on his face he said, something about a game I couldn't hear because of the screams

Pretend 02:43
Pretend You know, I once met a girl who was afraid to be blamed. At better times she would laugh but now she only complains that it is never enough, she's always wanted some more. So I lied. The only reason I see for her to pack up and leave, is when I told her to let whatever happens to be. But now she says that I'm wrong. She deviates from the path that we sought. So I guess I never wanted to believe when she said she wouldn't leave me alone again. I tried too hard and now she's only wasting my time. And you think you're always right, but you can' get it. You try, you just forget that I'm trying to go away and I'm never coming back. Now can you blame it on me? The way we've watched on TV. She runs away like they said but I just cannot believe that she's stubborn enough to just pretend that I'm lost when I'm not. I'll never be what she wants. Although I was willing to try, it's just absurd to pretend that she can learn from the past. I love the things she dislikes. I guess she'll never be what I want.

Over the Years When it's night for you it is day for me but we talk at noon. Happiness will change it all And make us fools Over the years we sing and pray for honest days. You will hear me say I wont forget your name. That’s a promise I cannot keep And all our memories turn into fantasies The past is distorted by our feelings. Near or far , we try so hard to be apart loneliness it’s not so bad, when your on my mind. For the love i have for you I’ll say it's all ok When we really are not going to be together again. Over the years we sing and pray for honest days. You will hear me say I wont forget your name. That’s a promise I cannot keep Well that's a promise that I cannot keep.

T.V. 02:27
T.V. There is something going on The shadows in my eyes are gone I turn around and see your face, Horrible without the haze Nose job, fake breasts, You sounded like a pretty girl, isn't that what I should like?, What everybody says is right? And you don't even try to realize How shallow you really are That is reality you wont see on TV. We waste our lives for free. Sadly while I walk alone Smiley faces come along They say they want to be my friends But they don't even know my name. No more fakeness I'm looking for someone to blame because it's so hard facing that This neon life is all I got.

Laura (Bonus Track) (free) 02:40
Laura Laura you've been good to me and i have been so mean, i've never said "i care for you" so i want you to hear That my heart and my eyes keep on turning when you pass and the lies for wich you've cried will forever hurt my heart. Laura you've been sitting here staring at your feet, no one dares to make a sound, they think you are asleep. But your heart and your eyes keep forgiving all those lies, that i've tried to deny when you asked me sadly, why? Laura when you look at me the world stands still. And my heart and my eyes keep on turning when you pass and the lies for wich you've cried will forever hurt my heart. But your heart and your eyes keep forgiving all those lies, that i've tried to deny when you asked me sadly, why? Keep on turning when you pass.

You Know Me (free) 02:27
You Know Me We run across the corridor, we're holding hands, you tell me "Boy i'll kiss you now or the day I die, If not today then the day I die" And walking down that lonely street we sit outside and by the tree, you hold my hand and talk about your life I'm glad to be there, now I'd rather die And parked outside your house we play and I pretend we'll never end. I'm thinking "Boy, now I am so glad, I'm glad we play and we never fight" 'Cause now without a reason you run far away. I've felt this way before, I said I'd try and I tried. I promised to myself to cry another day but you know me At the club where people dance I look around and meet your eyes. "So tell me darling, tell me what's your name" I'm glad I didn't look the other way.
