Secrecy sets barriers between men, but at the same time offers the seductive temptation to break through the barriers by gossip or confession.

High built barries
Barriers built so high.
For noone to get around.
Noone will see.
This creature in distress.
Noone can see how much I hurt.
With barries built
A million feet high.
With a slight sigh.
Noone can reach me.
They cant get in my head.
Barriers so high.
For noone to get around.
Barries built in
Built all around me.
Barriers keep me safe.
No one can get in.
No one can take me.
With my barriers so high

The world is changing and the physical barriers are down now. It's time for the emotional barriers to go down. And what better place to start than school?

The Small Hours
(originally recorded by holocaust)
Look out at the darkness, and you will see
Just call my name and Ill be there
You cannot touch me, you would not dare
I am the chill thats in the air
And I try to get through to you, in my own special way
As the barriers crumble, at the end of the day, a-ha
Dark rivers are flowing, back into the past
You are the fish for which I cast
And what of the future, what is to be
As the rivers flow into the sea
And I try to get through to you, in my own special way
As the barriers crumble, at the end of the day
Do not take for granted, powers out there
Dont step into the demons lair
Time is an illusion, rising from time
Steep is the mountain which we climb
And I try to get through to you, in my own special way
As the barriers crumble, at the end of the day

But, yeah, as far as Asian Americans go, I hope they know they can look at me and see that they can do music on their own, within a band or just on their own, and not feel like there's any barriers. I've never felt any particular barriers myself, being who I am.
In America the majority raises formidable barriers around the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write what he pleases, but woe to him if he goes beyond them.

Belong
If you know
You've always
Belonged to him,
How does it matter
If they say,
You cannot go to him?
Wherever he is
In this universe
Are you not
Already there
With him?
Belongingness is such
It breaks all barriers…
Or shall I go a bit further
And say, it's beyond all
Barriers…
If you belong to him,
Let alone death, even
God cannot separate
You from him.
Belongingness remains
The oneness remains…
Beyond age
Beyond time
Beyond birth
Beyond all sins
And virtues…
Beyond all earthly crime.
It's a heavenly
Feeling…
Beyond eternity…
Timeless, ethereal,
Spiritual…
So divine and sublime.

Time For Temptation
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do
(good, good, good, good temptation)
Why you chasing a lost religion of guilty feelings
-that belong in yesterday?
Spy the preachers a politician, he carries the cross like a gun
- whip you into shape
Heres the rub, now, no secret hours locked in the backroom if you
- come together right
Check your vision and push it out there
- you make the question, define what its all about
(chorus)
(oh) oh...
With chains or heaven across your shoulder,
A slave for promotion to the afterlife
The boss gets fat while you just get older, here comes a mission
- set to put you right
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do - oh
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do
(no damnation...)
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do - oh
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do - oh
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
(good, good, good, good temptation)
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do
(good, good, good, good temptation)
Time for temptation, what you see is there for you
(good, good, good, good temptation)
Time for temptation, no damnation for what you do
(good, good, good, good temptation)

Stronger
Life
Has a funny way of trying to make
You a certain type
And making it hard
Yeah life
Is feet firmly on the ground
With a fear of flying
It's always too far
Chorus 1:
It only makes me stronger
When you say I can't do it
I'll work that bit harder
When you say it's not within my grip
The barriers, I'll break them down
I'll prove myself, I'll stick around
I'll get through it all somehow
Nothing's unreachable
Life
Is full of all these empty words
In perfect rhyme
When they don't make no sense
Resigned
To all of these doubts and nerves
You want first place
But you take second best
Chorus 2:
It only makes me stronger
When you say I won't succeed
I'll work that bit harder
When you say you see no strength in time
The barriers, I'll break them down
I'll prove myself, I'll stick around
I'll get through it all somehow
Nothing's unreachable
Oh it's just a state of mind
If you set yourself up to fall
You'll never get there at all
All you've got to do is rise
It takes more to break me than a wave or two
Whatever's sent to test me
Gonna make it through
Repeat Chorus 1
Don't hide
Don't cover up what fuels you
Deep inside
It carries you on
Go find
That dream you dreamt about
Each and every night
Before it's gone
Cos you don't understand how I feel
You don't understand this is real
It's life
Yeah it's life
It's gone

Shackles
I’ve taken on the world
And come to you…
Crossing all boundaries,
And breaking all barriers.
Wouldn’t you too?
Why are you not
Brave like me?
Remember,
Society shackles you.
Love sets you free…

Dream of Me
Dream of me
In your nights, love
Dream of me
Even with open eyes, love
Dream of me
As if it were the last enchantment
The last miracle now
Dream of me
To carry me always
Inside the instant
And to never remain alone
Dream of me
As is it were the last enchantment
For you...
For me...
It is love that goes
Knocking on every heart
Making it come alive again and die...
It is love that goes
Breaking barriers
And it has
No race, no flags
No age
Dream of me
You who are my dream, love
Dream of me
As if I were your refuge
Dream of me
Beyond all distances and all limits
Live me each instant and still
Dream of me
In the transparency of the oceans
Of you imaginary journeys...
Dream of me
Every time that I cannot be
With you
Because
It is love that goes
Knocking on every heart
Making it come alive again and die...
It is love that goes
Breaking barriers
And it has
No race, no flags
No age
Dream of me
Love has no barriers
Dream of me
Love has no race
Dream of me
Love has no flags
Dream of me
Love has no age.

~ Free ~
Set me free
I'll fly...
Back to you
Encage me
I'll fly...
Away from
You.
Give me
Freedom,
I'll remain
With you
Imprison me,
I'll break all
Barriers...
To flee you

The Barrier
I had this barrier that kept us apart
I built this barrier to protect my heart
So much pain that it had saw
And in my memory banks did it store.
All the heartaches that it had been thru
Trying to get next to you.
These barriers have been compromised
And the pains refuse to subside.
What do I do without you by my side
Do I have the strength, should I continue to try.
What did I do, what did I say
That you turned and walked away.
Every time I hear your name
It brings back the memories and the pain.
You said that you would always love me
You’d always be true, but you left
And broke my heart in two.
So many roads I have traveled
So many mountains I did climb
So many tears I have shed
And still I do not find
The spirit that’s inside of me
Hiding in my soul
This is what they tell me
Which will make my life unfold.
So I take down these barriers
They no longer have any use that I see
In the hopes that my heart
will again be happy and free.

Confession
Listen up
This is confession
This machine motion is sure to break my heart
Listen up
This is confession
Recorded music sticks in the throat of god.
I o u, you dont own me
I o u, you dont own me
Party time, one mor night, everybodys affected
Listen up
This is confession
You are a poison that flows into my veins.
Listen up
This is confession
Ive never been so scared of letting you down.
You know me, so come closer
You know me, so come closer
Party time, one more town, everybodys affected.
I know you, you dont need me
I know you, you dont need me
Party time, one more girl, everybodys affected
Listen up
This is confession
They tell me heaven just has to be somewhere
Listen up
This is confession
Id lie to God if I could make him believe.
You owe me, and I need you
You owe me, and I need you
Party time, one more game, everybodys affected
This is my confession
This is my confession
Party time, one more lie, everybodys affected
