Not Asleep, Not Awake
I'm not asleep yet not awake
I don't feel alive and I don't feel brave
So once again I'll lose my way
And wait until I find a fitting line to say

Asleep
Wait a minute.
Can't you see what this pain has done to me
I'm alive but I'm slippin'.
What you see I cannot see and maybe you'll think before you speak
I'm alive for you.
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive told you.
I'm awake swallowing you
Take a second.
Turn your back on me and make believe
It's safe to say you're never alive.
A big part of you has died and by the way, I hope you're satisfied
I'm alive for you.
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive told you.
I'm awake swallowing you
I'm alive for you.
I'm awake because of you
I'm alive told you.
I'm awake swallowing you

Make Me Feel Alive
Blood drips,
It rips me apart,
Watch my tears drop,
POP goes the noise,
The thin line between me and you is real,
Where I lay,
Where I must stay,
Away I go with you,
Sway my way,
Make me feel alive today,
Just one more day with you,
You Make feel so alive,
I feel as if I am complete with you,
You are the one for me,
Strange lines we crossed,
You crossed the path of lines you shouldn't have crossed,
STOP me from hurting again,
You are the reason why I feel the way I feel.
Make me feel alive,
Not dead,
Just alive,
Thats the way you make me feel,
To know that you're mine to keep,
To know that I am yours,
Puts a smile on my face,
You make me feel alive,
To know that I am alive just for you,
I love you from the bottom of my heart.

Sleep
He is aways asleep
walking chatting working playing
though wide awake
He does not miss a train
and you cannot outwit him
in conversation or at playground
But believe it or not
he is always asleep
He has two minds one asleep
and the other awake
Or else the wide awake mind is the
isle of Langerhans
in the midst of the mind.awake
The mind asleep is
connected along hot line
with the pituitary gland
which is the point
whence the expanding universe
shot forth with a big bang

Beautiful
200 miles per hour
That's how fast I seem to go
With the weight of the world on my
shoulders
Slow down. come and catch us all
WAIT!
Slow Down!
Take!
Slow Down!
Why can't you help me?
Slow Down!
Feel
When I'm in doubt
I need something beautiful
To fill the space we've taken up
I need something to feel real
Again before I go numb
Downward spiral. a kaleidoscope view
Is what you're seeing saying so jaded
The picture I drew
Come again. Come Again. Come Again!
Wait!
Take!
Wait!
Why can't you help me?
Wait!
Take!
Wait!
Take!
Feel when I'm in doubt
Feel when I'm in doubt
I need something beautiful
To fill the space we've taken up
I need something to feel real
Again before I go numb
Are you alive?
Are you alive?
I'm alive
When I'm in doubt
I'm alive

Feeling Sorry for someone
I feel sorry for you
that kind of sorry where nothing
is left to say to that someone,
but you still keep trying.
I feel sorry for what that somebody
went through, but inside they don't
feel sorry one bit for there selfs,
they look in the miror and they know that they should feel sorry
But nothing stops they are brave and strong
nothing can stop them from acheving anything
so don't feel sorry for me do understand
I don't feel sorry for myself and nor should you
feel sorry for me
I am happy and alive and if I set my mind
to something I would stop till I get it do
get it so when I look in the miror
I don't see myself I see someone else
Now don't you dare tell me I feel sorry
for you because you know the answer.

Tears to a smile its a brand new day
Roads take a turn I think I found my way
Words dont always say what they mean,
What will it bring now?
CHORUS: And I feel, feel so alive
When Im with you, everythings fine
Yeah I feel, feel so alive
I want to fly but I aint got wings
I want to sing the song you sing
Cause when Im with you well I feel
CHORUS: Yeah I feel, feel so alive
When Im with you, everythings fine
And I feel, feel so alive

Brave New Girl
She's gonna pack her bags
She's gonna find her way
She's gonna get right out of this
She don't want New York
She don't want L.A.
She's gonna find that special kiss
She don't want no sleep
She don't want no high
Oh, like peaches n' cream
She's gonna wish on stars and touch the sky
Ah, you know what I mean
She wants the good life
No need to rewind
She needs to really really find what she wants
She lands on both feet
Won't take a back seat
There's a brave new girl
And she's comin' out tonight
She's gonna step outside
Uncover her eyes
Who knew she could feel so alive
Her M.O.'s changed
She don't wanna behave
Ain't it good to be a brave girl tonight
Tonight, it's alright
A brave girl tonight
So she met this man
He was kinda rough
He said, girl, whatcha lookin' for
She said, I don't know
I go with the flow
He said, let's get on the floor
He said, you look real cute with your low ride jeans
And your pink little baby tee
Let's get a room, girl
Come and ride with me
She wants the good life
No need to rewind
She needs to really really find what she wants
She lands on both feet
Won't take a back seat
There's a brave new girl
And she's coming out tonight
She's gonna step outside
Uncover her eyes
Who knew she could feel so alive
Her M.O.'s changed
She don't wanna behave
Ain't it good to be a brave girl tonight
Tonight, it's alright
A brave girl tonight
Tonight, it's alright
A brave new girl tonight
She's gonna step outside
Uncover her eyes
Who knew she could feel so alive
Her M.O.'s changed
She don't wanna behave
Ain't it good to be a brave girl tonight
Tonight it's alright
A brave girl tonight
Tonight, it's alright
A brave girl tonight
A brave girl tonight
A brave girl tonight

Narcolepsy
Im on a train, but theres no one at the helm
And theres a demon in my brain
Who starts to overwhelm whelm whelm whelm whelm
And there it goes, my last chance for peace
You lay me down, but I get no release
And I say i, I try to keep awake
I try to swim beneath
I try to keep awake
But i, I can feel this narcolepsy slide
Into another nightmare
And theres a demon in my head who starts to play
A nightmare tape loop of what went wrong yesterday
And I hold my breath till its more than I can take
And I close my eyes and dream that Im awake
I try to keep awake
I try to keep awake
I try to keep awake
But i, I can feel this narcolepsy slide
Into another nightmare
I read dead russian authors volumes at a time
I write everything down except whats on my mind
Cause my greatest fear is that sucking sound
And then I know that Ill never get back out
And theres a bone in my hand that connects to a drink
In a crowded room where the glasses clink
And Ill buy you a beer and well drink it deep
Because that keeps me from falling asleep I said
Howd you like to be alone and drowning
Howd you like to be alone and drowning
Howd you like to be alone and drowning
Howd you like to be alone and drowning
Still I find this narcolepsy slide slide
Into another nightmare
Keep awake, keep awake, keep awake
And I can feel this narcolepsy slide

Sleeping Awake
Reveal to me the mysteries
Can you tell me what it means?
Explain these motions and metaphors
Unlock these secrets in me
Describe your vision, the meaning is missing
Won't anybody listen?
Define the riddles of my mind
Nothing is strictly what it seems
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping...
Can you see it? The writing,
Can you tell me what it means?
Translate the symbols, Enigma
Expressions keep questioning me
The message is written, the meaning is missing
Won't anybody Listen?
Prophesy, interpretate the signs
Nothing is really what it seems
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Sleeping Awake
Dreaming of Zion, Awake
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel what I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
Do you feel like I feel?
Can't stop Sleeping Awake
Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
And do you see what I see?
And can you hear what I hear?
And do you feel like I feel?
And can you dream like I dream?
Do you see what I see?
Can you hear what I hear?
Or do you feel like I feel?
Or do you dream like I dream?
Anybody see me?
Anybody hear me?
Anybody feel me?
Anybody out there?!?

Im Awake Now
Ive been where the river ran
Im drownin in a sunless sea
Sleep has helped me find my end
You promised me youd set me free
Dont fall asleep to dream
A banshees at my window pane
Theres an angel at my feet
Dont fall asleep to dream
Im awake now
(you cant touch me, I wont sleep no more)
Awake now
In the corner of my mind
Where he sits and waits for me
Theres a wall of confusion building
And the sky begins to bleed on me
Dont fall asleep to dream
Im looking for a way out now
Peace of mind is all I need
Dont fall asleep to dream
Im awake now
(you cant touch me, I wont sleep no more)
Awake now
(you cant touch me, I wont sleep no more)
Awake now
(you cant touch me, I wont sleep no more)

Trying To Find The Words
JE ya'll!* JE ya'll!* I'm trying to find the words that'll keep her down Man I swear I'll keep her down*
This girl, she's so amazing* She's everything I dreamed that a woman could be* She sends all my senses into a whirlwind*
'Cause it's her eyes and her smell that get's me* And I think that I could be with her* If I could tell her how I feel* I'll let her know that this thang that I feel is real*
If I could find the words that'll put her down* Man I swear I'll keep her down, down* Trying to find the words to express how I'm feeling* Trying to let her know that
I'm through doubble dealing* Dont know what I'll do if I really lose your loving* I Gotta get my act together, put my baby first in line* Trying to find the words to express
how I'm feeling* Trying to find the words, find the words, find the word .... Dont know what I'd do if I really lose your loving* I Gotta get my act together, keep my
baby first in line ...* Girl, she keeps her faith in him* When I'm short on sticky, she's always got me* Make me feel just like a P.I.M.P* Naw, that just aint me, aint
even my league* Girl, know you got me crazy!* Shady girls done left a bad mark on my heart* Scarred me up, aint give a damn about my heart* Gotta get it right with
you* I need to find the words ...* I dont know, why I cant find the words to say* Exactly how I feel about you* But all I know, if you leave me, girl dont you leave me
I dont kow what I'll do* I dont know, I dont know, I dont know ...

Never Felt So Alive
Written by ricki & kim wilde
Why do I seem to confuse you
Do I lose you
Do I really look so strange
A woman alone is a danger
Is a stranger
She is better off in chains
Oh, how can it be youre happier now
Dont you feel half of you has gone
Sorry to say Ive never felt so together
Ive never felt this strong
Im on my own again
And its never felt so good
(Im on my own)
I dont feel broken hearted
Dont feel that I should
Im on my own again
Hard to believe but I never felt so alive
Why do you want to control me
Try to own me
Like a pet youd like to tame
Dont look at me like Im crazy
Thats just lazy
Cause its you thats got to change
Oh, how can it be youre happier now
Isnt it lonely on your own
Sorry to say my loneliest days have gone
And Ive never felt so at home
Im on my own again
And its never felt so good
(Im on my own)
I dont feel broken hearted
Dont feel that I should
Im on my own again
Hard to believe but I never felt so alive
Im on my own again
After all the years inside
(Im on my own)
Ive destroyed all the things that hurt me
Rediscovered my pride
Im on my own again
Hard to believe but I never felt so alive
Feels so alive
I feel so alive
Im on my own again
And its never felt so good
(Im on my own)
I dont feel broken hearted
Dont feel that I should
Im on my own again
Hard to believe but I never felt so alive
Feels so alive
(Im on my own)
I dont feel broken hearted
Dont feel that I should
Im on my own again

Somebody Knows
Out of my head and delighted, somebody knows how I feel
If you ask me to play it, you wont have to say it twice
cause Im goin to the head of the line, Im takin my life away
Im so glad you made it, and now that youre ready
Ill begin to tell you what you want, but I know
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel, I feel) somebody knows
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel, I feel)
Somebody knows what you want and what youre tryin to do
cause the same thing can happen to you
A little smoke, a little drink, can make somebody start to think
That he knows
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows (I feel, I feel)
Somebody knows what you want, when you want it
(somebody knows) when youre doin it right
Somebody sees with their feelings, and feels what theyre being tonight
And were doin it together, I know
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel, I feel) somebody knows
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel, I feel) God I know
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel) I feel somebody knows
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel, I feel)
Got what you want on the run now, keep it on in sight
Make me crazy, and you wont need me to tell you that youre doin it right
cause I know
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows, (I feel) I feel somebody knows
(I feel, I feel) somebody knows (I feel, I feel)

Use It Or You'll Lose It
Comeon!
Show what it is that you feel.
Use it or you'll lose it.
Comeon!
Show what it is that you feel.
Use it or you'll lose it.
Putting off today,
For tomorrow...
May from you disappear,
So...
Use it or you'll lose it.
Excuses made to hesitate,
Only dissipates what is real.
So...
Use it or you'll lose it.
Comeon!
And...
Use it or you'll lose it.
Comeon!
And...
Use it or you'll lose it.
Comeon!
And...
Use it or you'll lose it.
Comeon!
And...
Use it or you'll lose it.
Waiting for a day to remove double chins,
Or...
Praying someday you'll appear more thin,
Is...
Self defeating.
Comeon!
Show what it is that you feel.
Use it or you'll lose it.
Comeon!
Show what it is that you feel.
Use it or you'll lose it.
Comeon!
And...
Use it or you'll lose it.
Comeon!
And...
Use it or you'll lose it.
Comeon!
And...
Use it or you'll lose it.

Suicide Lane
Suffering every moment that I'm awake and not asleep
Its the only way to get away from the things that make me weep
What I feel is something beyond sorrow
I keep finding myself dreading tomorrow
Then I find myself on Suicide Lane
While trying to figure out who is to blame
I feel worthless, scared and at the same time lost
I will give anything to not feel this way no matter the cost
But the coward in me keeps me from self-annihilation
I guess for now I have to live with my situation
I'm not getting any better dealing with the pain
I know I will find myself on suicide lane again
But if the pain and darkness continues to exist
Then suicide will become harder to resist
So for now I will find the strength to endure
Why praying that finding happiness doesn't become more obscure

Ghost
As I wake up
And adjust my eyes
From deep sleep
To daylight
I see a ghost
In front of me
I say
Am I dead
Am I alive
He says
Your alive
But when your asleep
You are just like me
Moving around in a world
you can't feel
Thats why
I come and watch you sleep
So I can feel close
To what you see

Losing me
Why do I feel like I am losing me..
Everyday I lose apart of me............ I forget what I used to be....
All I see is you...... Why I am losing me? Why am I losing me............
I don't want to feel this way... I dont want to feel like thi s........
A piece of me is fading, running to your land.......... Always wondering if your here?
All I see is you, and I am disappearing....... I know I am alive, when I sit down and cry........ Is this love or is this a lie......... Loving you do I have to lose part of me?
I am lost dont want to feel this way............. When I look in the mirror, I dont know who I see............. I just dont remember me...............
All I see is you...... Why I am losing me? Why am I losing me............

Lunar Sequence
i wait
anticapate
patiently
feel time slip
the absence profound
i feel
sit still
halting
eerily dead
but, so alive
i fear
surreal
dreading
enveloped in anxiety
missing moist
then again
i wait
i feel
and fear
track the moon in the vast sky
sing and ode of regret
then hope
then again

Letting Go
If i fall will there be a net
If i let go will i forget
What if i jumped would i die
If you saw me again would you cry
Or if i called
Would you lie
Lying awake but am i really awake
How can i be awake when your here
Cause i wake and feel your presence
For it must be a dream cause your over there
Where is over there
I dont know
Where is over there
Do you even know
I feel your heart beating here with mine
But your mind is dreaming of another time
It is strange that i feel your heart
Cause we are so far apart
Maybe is not your heart i feel
Just me imagining what is real
Days are longer this time of year
I can feel the warmth in the air
SO if i fall will there be a net
I am letting go cause i want to forget
