How did I get here, why did this happen and when will this torture ever end? Do I deserve it, am I a victim or is it all just part of the master plan? Would I change anything if the hands of time would allow me to? And if I could change everything what kind of world would I wake up to? I think of the places, all of the spaces that I used to fill back then All of my family, all of my enemies and all of those who I could call friends Would I change anything if the hands of time would allow me to? And if I could change everything what kind of world would I wake up to? If I could turn back the page to those chapters of my life How many times would I change my mind and what would I write? Sometimes I wonder - does destiny have a plan? And when will I ever understand who I am? Who I am How did I get here, why did this happen and when will this torture ever end? Do I deserve it, am I a victim or is it all just part of the master plan? Would I change anything if the hands of time would allow me to? And if I could change everything what kind of world would I wake up to? If I could turn back the page to those chapters of my life How many times would I change my mind and what would I write? Sometimes I wonder - does destiny have a plan? And when will I ever understand who I am? Who I am You do realize that this is all your fault Every decision that you've ever made has brought you to this moment You know how you got here You know why this happened You know you're not a victim And you certainly know you deserve it So why should your torture ever end? If I could turn back the page to those chapters of my life How many times would I change my mind and what would I write? Sometimes I wonder - does destiny have a plan? And when will I ever understand who I am? Who I am

Everybody told me that I was so naive To have trusted you, but I did not care Because I wanted so much to believe What you said was true But everything I thought I knew Was just another lie behind the mask you use And that's what you do with that mask you use That's what you do with that mask you use I tried to give you everything that a woman could want in this world And then I gave some more But now it's almost as if that doesn't matter at all as you walk Walk right out my door And everything I thought I knew Is just another lie behind the mask you use And that's what you do with that mask you use That's what you do with that mask you use After all of these years now all I'm left with are tears Of regret and confusion And I cannot believe these things are true Everybody told me that I was so naive To have trusted you, but I did not care Because I wanted so much to believe What you said was true But everything I thought I knew Is just another lie behind the mask you use And that's what you do with that mask you use I hope that someday somebody else does exactly the same things to you

I'm not going where you want to lead me And I'm not taking in the poison you would feed me 'Cause I'm not your fool And I'm not your slave It's time you knew I don't believe a word you say I won't be a pawn in these sadistic games you play 'Cause I'm not your fool And I'm not your slave I won't kneel, I won't beg and I won't crawl I'm not going to give you anything at all 'Cause I'm not your fool And I'm not your slave I'm not your foolish slave I think it's time you realize that you are mine You're my foolish slave and you'll serve my needs until the end of time 'Cause you are my fool And you are my slave You're my foolish slave

Instant messages and chat rooms too Whatever happened to you know who? They think they've found a perfect paradise But it's just a world made up of digital lies The more connected you think you are You’re an iGod now The further you’re actually drifting apart You’re an iGod now It's time to crucify your iGod - join the real world You spend your whole life online under all of your different screen names And all of your friends exist as zeroes and ones But can you even tell me when was the last time you walked outside and looked at the sun You said the sun is always shining on your PC - on your HD LCD Log on to your other life Where you have no children and you have no wife Friends are electric yes I guess it’s true But no one knows the real you The more connected you think you are You’re an iGod now The further you’re actually drifting apart You’re an iGod now It's time to crucify your iGod - join the real world You spend your whole life online under all of your different screen names And all of your friends exist as zeroes and ones But can you even tell me when was the last time you walked outside and looked at the sun You said the sun is always shining on your PC - on your HD LCD You’re on facebook and myspace too Thousands of "friends" are connected with you You blog and Twitter everything you do But no one knows the real you The more connected you think you are The further you’re actually drifting apart Kill your iGod now! Kill your iGod now! And join the real world You spend your whole life online under all of your different screen names And all of your friends exist as zeroes and ones But can you even tell me when was the last time you walked outside and looked at the sun You said the sun is always shining on your PC - on your HD LCD Join the real world

I can't sleep There's something troubling my mind And I fear That there's a secret you're trying to hide I can't breathe Thinking your love for me has changed I believe There's something you don't want to say It's in your eyes It's in the way you call my name You can't deny it Our love will never be the same As I look outside I see my whole world fade to gray And I wonder why Was my love for you in vain? I can't believe That I was the last one, the last to know But it seems You put on quite an impressive show You deceive When all I ever do is love I believe There's something you don't want to say It's in your eyes It's in the way you call my name You can't deny it Our love will never be the same As I look outside I see my whole world fade to gray And I wonder why Was my love for you in vain?

In this silence there is no solace There's no comforting a wounded heart When only time will heal I know you need me I know you miss me If it was up to me I'd still be there when You open up your eyes Remember now... Even in those moments when I'm not there My arms are always around you When you're tired, sad and lonely My love will be there to surround you When everything in your life has turned sour When you find yourself struggling through your darkest of hours My love will be there to surround you My arms are always around you I know you're crying I know you're trying I know you're doing the very best that you can In an overwhelming time I know you need me I know you miss me If it was up to me I'd still be there when You open up your eyes Remember now...

You can try to tell me I Mean all the world to my favorite girl But I can see how she sees me I mean no more than the dirt on her floor No more I know I'm not special in her eyes She might think I have nothing important to say Although I don't mean anything to her I'm still someone worthy of love In her mind she thinks she's kind She thinks she's as fair as the color of her hair But she can't see how she treats me I mean no more once I've walked out her door No more I know I'm not special in her eyes She might think I have nothing important to say Although I don't mean anything to her I'm still someone worthy of love She can tell me that she Doesn't want me I know I'll find someone who thinks that I'm Worthy of love I know I'm not special in her eyes She might think I have nothing important to say Although I don't mean anything to her I'm still someone worthy of love

Heading off into the great unknown Discovery's flying where no one has flown There's a secret that only HAL knows I'm on a mission far away from home I never thought I'd wind up all alone Now I follow this signal Across the universe As I travel through the skies I'm lost somewhere in space and time I hope I'll find my way home soon Don't leave me cosmically marooned Flying through the blackest of night My instruments failed I'm flying blind Please help me find my way home soon I'm somewhere near Jupiter's moon Oxygen's running low I fear I can scream as loud as I want - Across the vacuum of space no one hears (me) I'm on a mission far away from home I never thought I'd wind up all alone Now I follow this signal Across the universe I want to go home I want to go home Take me home Take me home I wanted to go there, I wanted to see If there was anyone else out there besides you and me But as I've grown older and space has grown colder Now all I want is to go home
