Friendly Ghost
If youre scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
Ive been spending all my days
Giving all I can give.
Last night I heard someone walking
Through my bedroom door.
What they want Im not exactly sure.
Chorus:
A friendly ghost,
Is all I need. (x2)
Working time on a broken watch,
Countin days till the the old shop sells me back my saxophone
And everyones gonna leave me alone.
Two times I thought I heard someone
Knocking on the glass.
I hit my head and prayed that it would last.
Chorus
If youre scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
Ive been carrying round a grudge,
I think I better forgive
Last night I heard footsteps walking
On the attic floor.
Got up and I opened up the door.
Chorus
If youre scared of dying you better
Not be scared to live.
Ive been spending all my days
Giving all I can give.

Scared
I'm scared of life and what i'll become
I'm scared of not being able to go on
I'm scared of what will happen
I'm scared of your reaction
I'm scared of letting go
I'm scared of what i don't know
I'm scared of losing you
I'm scared of being used
I'm scared of being hurt beyond repair
I'm scared of whats out there
I'm scared and so alone
I'm scared and searching for a place to call home
Will you hold me and fight away my fears
Will you tell me it's gonna be okay and wipe away my tears
Will you hold my hand as i walk through the dark
Will you stay and not leave or break my heart
Will you be there to pick me up when i fall down
Because i really need someone right now

I Can't Breathe
I'm scared to sleep, I scared to dream
I'm scared to wake up in case I scream
I'm scared to whisper one word.
That's all it needs
I hear it breathe, I hear it sigh
I hear it laughing when something dies
I hear it calling
But I'm too scared to move
I'm so scared
I can't breathe
I'm so scared
I just can't breathe
I'm scared to look, I'm scared to see
I'm scared of mirrors in case it's me.
I'm scared of memories
But now thats all I have
So I can't leave and no-one comes
So no-one noticed that I've come undone.
I'd hide in shadows
But the shadows talk to me.
I'm so scared
I can't breathe
I'm so scared
I just can't breathe

Gods Comic
Wish youd known me when I was alive, I was a funny feller
The crowd would hoot and holler for more
I wore a drunks red nose for applause
Oh yes I was a comical priest
With a joke for the flock and a hand up your fleece
Drooling the drink and the lipstick and greasepaint
Down the cardboard front of my dirty dog-collar
Chorus:
Now Im dead, now Im dead, now Im dead,
Now Im dead, now Im dead
And Im going on to meet my reward
I was scared, I was scared, I was scared, I was scared
He might of never heard gods comic
So there he was on a water-bed
Drinking a cola of a mystery brand
Reading an airport novelette, listening to andrew lloyd-webbers requiem
He said, before it had really begun, I prefer the one about my son
Ive been wading through all this unbelievable
Junk and wondering if I should have given
The world to the monkeys
Chorus
Im going to take a little trip down paradises endless shores
They say that travel broadens the mind, til you cant get your head out of doors
Im sitting here on the top of the world
I hang around in the longest night
Until each beast has gone bed and then I say
God bless and turn out the light
While you lie in the dark, afraid to breathe and you beg and you promise
And you bargain and you plead
Sometimes you confuse me with santa claus
Its the big white beard I suppose
Im going up to the pole, where you folks die of cold
I might be gone for a while if you need me
Now Im dead, now Im dead, now Im dead,
Now Im dead, now Im dead and youre all
Going on to meet your reward
Are you scared? are you scared? are you scared?
Are you scared?
You might have never heard, but gods comic

Be With You
Vs.1)
I can't deal with the fact that
You don't want me around
Why you wanna see me down?
It's so unusual
That you don't love me no more
Why you wanna close the door?
I spent all my days and all my nights with you
Just tell me what am I gonna do without you
If loving you is so right
Tell me how I'll make it through the night
You know that I don't ever want to leave you
(Chorus)
(I wanna be with you)
I just wanna be with you
Nothing else I'd rather do
(I wanna be with you)
I want to spend my life with you
(Vs.2)
Let's take this time to think about
what was said and done
Now tell me why you had to run
Away from me
Now I can't sleep at night
Why we had to fight
Everyday from you I look and I see something new
Now tell me what I got to do to get this through to you
It's the little things you do for me
That makes me very happy
You know that I don't wanna leave you
(Chorus)
It seams like each and ever time I come around
You don't want me there
And it's beginning to make me so scared
So scared that I might loose you
All I wanna do is be with you baby baby baby baby boy
(Chorus and adlibs until fade

Genie
(HogarthKellyMosleyRotheryTrewavas)
[One Way Street]
I let the genie out of the box
I let the genie out of the box
I'm scared of everything I am
I let the genie out of the box
I'm scared of opening the can
I let the genie out of the box
I had this recurring dream
I was living another life
In another country
In another time
As I got older the dream began to fade away
Until one day
There she was.. tapping me on my shoulder
She says she's got so much to say
But she's not telling it today
She said "Come back when you're alone"
But I'm not sure I want to know
Cause maybe her road
Is a one-way street
Maybe her road..
I'm scared of everything I am
I'm scared of opening the can
I'm scared of losing who I am
Think I might've taken all I can
I let the genie out of the box
She said there's a house in your mind
An attic of treasure, a forgotten pleasure park
Waiting inside you in the dark
Don't leave it behind
Don't leave it behind
I'm scared of everything I am
I'm scared of opening the can
I'm scared of losin' who I am
Think I might've taken all I can
I let the genie out of the box
I let the genie out of the box
Out of the box

I Don't Want To Die
What is God's plan for me?
Will I live?
Will I die?
I am not scared of dying.
I am scared of WHEN I will die
I am still a child
I have my whole life ahead of me
I don't want to go right now
I want to die old and gray
Not young
I still want to try new things
I want to find love
Get married
Have a couple of kids
How can I do that?
When I don't know God's plan?
Usually I am never scared.
But now I am terrified.

Run To Me
Verse 1:
Run to me when you need someone to talk to
Run to me when youre alone and you need a friend
Run to me when youre without and you need some love girl
And when youre lonely inside and you forget how to smile
Run to me and Ill keep you safe from harm
Chorus:
Dont be scared
Dont ever be shy
You know you can run to me when you need to cry
Never hesitate
Never be afraid
You know you can run to me and Ill keep you safe
I just wanna be the one
You can turn to
Verse 2:
Run to me when you need someone to count on
Come to me when you got something on your mind
Run to me when everything starts to fall apart
And when its bringing you down
And no one else can be found
Ill be waiting for you with open arms
Chorus:
Dont be scared
Dont ever be shy
You know you can run to me when you need to cry
Never hesitate
Never be afraid
You know you can run to me and Ill keep you safe
I just wanna be the one
You can turn to
Bridge:
One thing you need to know
One thing I promise you
Ill be there for you for always
One thing you need to know
You need to know is true
I do it out of the love for you
Chorus:
Dont be scared
Dont ever be shy
You know you can run to me when you need to cry
Never hesitate
Never be afraid
You know you can run to me and Ill keep you safe
Dont be scared
Dont ever be shy
I just wanna be the one you can turn to
Run to me
Run to me

If Youre Gone
I think Ive already lost you
I think youre already gone
I think Im finally scared now
You think Im weak - but I think youre wrong
I think youre already leaving
Feels like your hand is on the door
I thought this place was an empire
But now Im relaxed - I cant be sure
I think youre so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think Im just scared - I think too much
I know this is wrong its a problem Im dealing
If youre gone - maybe its time to go home
Theres an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If youre gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz theres a little bit of something me
In everything in you
I bet youre hard to get over
I bet the room just wont shine
I bet my hands I can stay here
I bet you need - more than you mind
I think youre so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think Im just scared - that I know too much
I cant relate and thats a problem Im feeling
If youre gone - maybe its time to go home
Theres an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If youre gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz theres a little bit of something me
In everything in you
I think youre so mean - I think we should try
I think I could need - this in my life
I think Im just scared - do I talk too much
I know this is wrong its a problem Im dealing
If youre gone - maybe its time to go home
Theres an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If youre gone - baby you need to come home
Cuz theres a little bit of something me
In everything in you

Vision In My Mind
I lie awake in the heart of the night,
I just cant rest til youre by my side
Staring at the ceiling, scared to close my eyes
I gotta let you know youre the vision in my mind
So many lonely nights still as the pale moon light
Drift in a river of dreams, together, you and i
Flow forever, any tide of the motion
I will promise complete devotion
And love will never compromise
Something so sacred cant be denied
Chorus:
Gotta let you know youre the vision in my mind, girl
With heart and soul, every second of my times for you
Been hurt before, I know youre holding back your feelings, girl
Please realize Id be the one to change your world
I see that look in your eyes, been hurt just too many times
And like the healing hand of time
Im gonna dry every tear you cry
Id tear down the walls of isolation, oh, baby, believe I belong
The love is pure, the love is so strong
Give me the chance to prove I am wrong
Repeat chorus twice
I lie awake in the heart of the night
Just cant rest til youre by my side
Staring at the ceiling, scared to close my eyes
I gotta let you know youre the vision in my mind
Repeat chorus to fade

Rescue
You still scared, Ill be scared too, its cool though just holla back aight.
(verse 1)
All alone Im not feeling wanted
Try to wait but my bodys calling
Youre the one so why dont you come and rescue me
Ill be here while you on your way
Counting down till I see your face
Hurry up cause I love the way you rescue me
Now youre here come on out the rain
Soaking wet bodys glistening
Finally we can do something, so rescue me
Cant believe how its going down
Im so obsessed with this love I found
It got my head spinning round and round, just rescue me
(chorus)
All night long take me away to another place
Rescue me save me save me save me
All night long take me away to another place
Rescue me save me save me save me
(verse 2)
I come alive when I feel your touch
And I could drown in this pool of love
You could get what Im thinking of come rescue me
What you think couldnt be replace
If you was gone I would find a way
To get you back cause I love the way you rescue me
Laying here with you in the dark
I always knew that you could shift my heart
When Im with you I dont wanna stop so rescue me
Only you can fufill my needs
Take me away from this agony
I want to live out my fantasy just rescue me
(chorus 4x)
All night long take me away to another place
Rescue me save me save me save me
All night long take me away to another place
Rescue me save me save me save me

Peeping Tom
Careful not to fall
Have to climb your wall
cause youre the one who makes me feel much taller than you are
Im just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the blues nothing left to loose
Im weightless
Im bare
Im faithless
Im scared
Face that fills a hole
Stole my broken soul
One that makes me seem to feel much taller than you are
Im just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Troubles with the gear
Nothing left to fear
Im weightless
Im bare
Im faithless
Im scared
Im weightless
Im bare
Im faithless
Im scared
With every bet I lost
Every trick I tossed
Youre still the one
Who makes me feel much taller than you are
Im just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the blues
Nothing left to lose
Im weightless
Im bare
Im faithless
Im scared
Im weightless

Im faithless

Afraid Not Scared
Look at this ocean with everyone drowning
Idiots screaming and everyone sinking in slowly
We're surrounded
In the yellow lights of the city wasted as bodies
In bed with somebody a touch away with nothing to do
We're surrounded
I'm really dying here
I'm really dying here
And I'm afraid, no I'm scared
She started freezing, lungs all collapsing
The momentum is passing, but the moment is eating us whole
We're surrounded
Put the guns in the water, they're turning to vodka
Triggering nothing we're sinking the sea takes the ship
And I'm really dying in here
I'm really dying in here
I'm afraid. I'm afraid. No, I'm scared. No I'm scared.
I'm just scared. Just let me down.
I'm getting really cold and I'm cold and I'm looking at you
You're not moving
I'm getting really cold and I'm cold and I'm looking at you
You're not moving
I'm getting really cold and I'm cold and I'm looking at you
And you're not moving

Wrinkles
Gettin out of the tub all drawn up like a raisin
Showed my fingers to my daddy while he was shavin
Said look at my toes dad whats wrong with my skin
Will this go away, will I be normal again
Well he picked me up and set me down on the hamper
Wiped off his face while he gave me the answer
For the first time I noticed the lines in his grin
As he dabbed a little foam on the end of my chin, he said
Chorus
Those wrinkles aint nothin to be scared of
Theyre just a product of time and true love
Some are gonna come and go
Some are gonna come and stay
Son, youre still young, youre gonna be ok
Well, I walked down the hall, saw my mom gettin ready
For a long over due date, dinner with daddy
She was cussin those crows feet, didnt know I was listenin
Started talkin bout her younger years
And how much she missed them and I said
2nd chorus
Those wrinkles aint nothin to be scared of
Theyre just a product of time and true love
Some are gonna come and go
Some are gonna come and stay
Mom you still look young, youre gonna be ok
As I get a little older, Im startin to get a few
And Im sure I gave mom and dad at least one or two
Were all gonna have em, there aint no doubt
But those wrinkles in life aint nothin you cant iron out
3rd chorus
Those wrinkles aint nothin to be scared of
Theyre just a product of time and true love
Some are gonna come and go
Some are gonna come and stay
I still feel young, Im gonna be ok

Where We Stand
[Intro - Chorus]
Is it too soon to love you
Why do I believe it's perfect
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
Think that we are moving too fast
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)
[Faith]
Today you said some things to me
That made it plain for me to see
And now I do believe
That there's a chance for you and me
Elated I would be
If it became reality
I'll put away my fears
Cause only fait brought us here
[Chorus]
Is it too soon to love you
When i just meet you the other day
Why do believe it's perfect
Enspired by all the things you say
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
Think that we are moving fast
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)
[Faith]
It's just a few days but I'm open wide
Or maybe I should take my time
I think where moving fast but I want you bad
My mind is telling me one thing
But my body says another
I wanna be your lover
[Chorus]
Is it too soon to love you
When I just met you the other day
Why do I believe it's perfect
Enspired by all the things you say
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
Think that we are moving to fast
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)
[Faith]
It's hard to figure out
In the back of my mind there's so much doubt
Why do I look for clues
When there's no reason to question you
It's only natural
I Just gotta wait and see
Will we ever be
Will we ever be
[Chorus]
Tell me if it's too soon to love
When i just met you the other day
Could it be that I'm scared to take a chance
Deep inside I don't know where we stand
Is it too soon to love you
When I just met you the other day
Why do I believe it's perfect
Enspired by all the things you say
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
Think that we are moving fast
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)
Is it too soon to love you
Why do I believe it's perfect
Could it be I'm scared to take a chance
And I don't know where we stand (I don't know where we stand)

Bent
If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
And if I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk
If I need some other love
Give me more than I can stand
And when my smile gets old and faded
Wait around Ill smile again
Shouldnt be so complicated
Just hold me and then
Just hold me again
Can you help me Im bent
Im so scared that Ill never
Get put back together
Youre breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
If I couldnt sleep could you sleep
Could you paint me better off
Could you sympathize with my needs
I know you think I need a lot
I started out clean but Im jaded
Just phoning it in
Just breaking the skin
Can you help me Im bent
Im so scared that Ill never
Get put back together
Youre breaking me in
And this is how we will end
With you and me bent
Start bending me
Its never enough
I feel all your pieces
Start bending me
Keep bending me until Im completely broken in
Shouldnt be so complicated
Just touch me and then
Just touch me again
Can you help me Im bent
Im so scared that Ill never
Get put back together

Suzanne
(when things get hot) oh my love
(when things get hot) I know you like the heat
(when things get hot) when things get much too much
(when things get hot)
So tell me why do you always run from me baby, like you do
Cause where theres smoke theres fire
I tell you love will never stay
When youre playing the games you play
Suzanne, I understand maybe youre scared to see
Just what your life really means to me
Suzanne, what will it take to make you stop giving up on love
When things get hot, suzanne
(when things get hot) oh my love
(when things get hot) do you keep your cool?
(when things get hot) things get too hot to touch
(when things get hot)
So tell me what are you holding out for now baby, like you do
Im walking on that wire
How can I get through, there must be something more than I can do
Suzanne, I understand maybe youre scared to see
Just what your life really means to me
Suzanne, what will it take to make you stop giving up on love
When things get hot, suzanne
I see the look in your eyes,
I dont know why you fight it
You work so hard to deny, its crazy
Why do you play it safe
Baby wake up and have some faith
Baby I tell you true all the love will come back to you
Suzanne, this cant be all there is to this
Suzanne, Ill give so much to you if you dont resist
Suzanne, I understand maybe youre scared to see
Just what your life really means to me
Suzanne, what will it take to make you stop giving up on love
When things get hot, suzanne

Be My Icon
(lebon, rhodes, cuccurullo)
Ill follow you
Ill wait for you
You know theres no escape from me
Youre more than wallpaper
In my room
I write you letters
And bring you gifts
Im going through all your trash
I love you so much
I keep your cigarette butts
Now is the time to come out
Come out of the shadows
No need to be scared
Youre gonna be so happy
I built you a shrine
Now you can be my icon
Im out on the edge
Theres no way back inside
All my friends are gone
They didnt understand me
It makes so much sense
Its no coincidence
Just you and I alone here
And I need you
Oh
How many hours have I stared at my face
In the mirror
I get worried sometimes that the image will shatter
No need to be scared
Youre gonna be so happy
I built you a shrine
Now you can be my icon
No need to be
Scared
Now you can
Be my icon
I know this is real
Believe it
We belong together
What ever happens
Youre gonna be with me
Forever
Be my icon
You will be my icon
Be my icon
You will be my icon

Scared to Death
I feel my heart beat as I lie there and breath every breath in.I feel as if im scared to death and nothing there to support me as i fall.I dream dreams that could not have an explination to them.I wake up breathing as hard as before as my feet touch the floor, I am scared to death.I love my life but there comes a time when you just have to admit everything that is wrong.As I breath so calmly and smooth just then i find out the truth.Im scared to death.I walk around with a smile and realize this life has so many 'un-discovered' facts and as we learn the facts i see that the worlds going to waist.Im scared to death.I look around wondering if anyone else knows or feels my pain, only because im scared to death.I wish i could tell someone I wish they would know, so i dont feel as if im in the world alone.Im scared to death.I wonder how i live this life with all the secrets i hold my behind my breath just to realize im scared to death!
