Tears On My Tears       I've seen so much lately, I've had to pray so much lately. 
My eyes these days are like heavy rain. 
(and) just when I think it may be over____ 
There's another cloudburst, of heavy rain. 
I've got to say, I know____ how you may be feeling, and what you may be going through lately, lately. 
Tears On My Tears, Tears On My Tears_ 
A child, or maybe someone else you have loved for years. 
Horrible news, the glides throughout your ears___ 
Your heartbeats are tuned to your worst fears. 
  
Your mind is full of Why, Why, Why. 
Your mind is full of Deny, Deny, Deny. 
Your mind is full of Cry, Cry, Cry. 
Did you have to pull the trigger, 
Did you “not†have other options to consider.

             Your Love For Ransom                               Your Love For Ransom 
 
If you walk out the door 
you'll hear a loud bang 
and afterward, my body will hit the floor. 
 
It would be as well as if 
you pulled the trigger, 
knowing you never gave our love a chance to get better. 
 
I've got to hold your love for ransom. 
I've got to hold your love for ransom. 
 
Believe me baby, when I say 
I'm talking about ending it all 
bang, bang, and here I'll fall. 
 
Why should I care about living on 
When your love, is all I’ve ever known. 
We had a few ups and downs and now you think 
We can't stand on solid ground. 
 
I see you want the easy way out, just by breaking my heart. 
What ever happen to the for everlasting love, 
we talked about and promised one another from the start. 
 
If you walk out the door 
you'll hear ...  | 
  
  
  
       
         Fade Into Black                             Fade Into Black 
My heart can only withstand so much, 
Why are you constantly trying to hurt me, 
When you know I love you so very, very much, 
I can plainly see now that you're not the one for me. 
Just give me some time to get up from the floor, 
(and) I'll be heading straight out the door. 
Because if I'm not wanted here I don't want to be in the way, my dear. 
For over a year, this relationship has been going up and down, 
I should of have known then within that time, 
(and) now I'm standing here my head hanging down. 
I'm so confused I'm so confused. 
(but) I still got some sense left in what to do, 
When I finally walk out that door from you. 
Yes, I know I'm going to look back, 
(but) it's going to quickly Fade Into Black. 
Love is a many splendid joy and  I thought the time wa...  | 
  
  
  
       
      my love is gone(the aftermath)Part 4       my love is gone(the aftermath)Part 4 
my love is gone. my love is gone. 
 
But the memories of the love, 
We shared still lives on. 
I can remember how we first met. 
It was a gamble on love. 
I wasn't the one- that you was really think of. 
 
I came to the social event alone, 
I liked what I saw, 
And trying to chat with you wasn't against the law. 
The friend you was waiting for-never showed up, 
And I could see, in your eyes, that you had been stood up. 
 
(but) you played the scene off so well, 
With a broken heart and all-I could tell. 
And that was the beginning of our romance. 
When you find love you've got to take a chance. 
 
My love is gone. 
But the memories of the love, we shared still lives on. 
My love is gone. 
Could there ever be another one. 
 
As the days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months,

      I Don’t Want To Hear (no lie)       I Don’t Want To Hear (no lie) 
 
I’ve been calling you on the telephone. 
Your voice comes on, saying you’re not at home 
“Leave a message please, and I’ll return your call” 
 
It’s now going on two weeks, and not a ring at all. 
If you’re calling it quits, girl, I can take it 
If you’re trying to think of a cover story 
To ease your mind, baby, don’t worry 
 
(cause) I don’t want to hear, no lie 
I don’t want to hear, no lie 
Just let that thought in your mind die 
I don’t want to hear, no lie 
 
I was a good lover to you 
There was nothing in this world 
That I wouldn’t try to do for you 
I would go without things I needed for myself, 
baby, just to please you 
Girl, I was going to pop the [big] question, 
But now, it’s on hold, because of our shady r...  |

Beware of smiling faces 'cause they hide their envy without traces. 
Them pretending friends-out to sabotage your plans. 
They're about a kindness-trying to find your weakness. 
They're about a kindness-trying to find your weakness. 
 
They'll tell you-how good it is- to see you on your feet 
But they're worst than the KKK wearing white sheets. 
They'll see you drowning- and won't throw you a rope- 
They're the kind of friends-mentioned in a bad horoscope. 
Envy heart-ed-jealous of your success- 
they're the kind of friends 
That would probably send a mail-bomb to your exclusive address 
 
Envy heart ed,Envy heart-ed- 
Now tell me me how in the world did that madness get started.

I really did hate chosen over my long time friends.

No matter, how many times, I try to close the wound- my heart it still 
bleeds- cause forgiveness from you, it truly needs. 
 
Girl, perhaps I'm asking for to much of you. 
I know, I've made a mess of my life and yours too. 
To think I deserve some sympathy- For your heart for me maybe empty. 
 
The truth I hid from you. 
Something that real love, wouldn't never, never do. 
The situation, you would of, not been to happy about, 
(but) at least, you could of been able- to let some of your hurt and anger 
out.

      Planetary Secret, Part 2       Planetary Secret, Part 2 
We lay here in the early A.M. contemplating our Break Out- 
For this hell hole we're condemned No Doubt. 
But we've got to try to get back to Earth- 
The Planet of our Birth. 
 
If only we could write letters- If only we could get mail- 
Where are the Messengers? 
The stakes are even to high for bail. 
Brothers in outer space, 
From Earth to this other Penitentiary place. 
 
Why do you fear us so? The Man 
That you got to Abduct and lockup US so FAR away from home. 
Is it really our Skin 
Are is it really our Mind Knowledge you can't understand. 
Come you thirst to know! Your thoughts are dry 
Come you thirst to know! 
Yeah! We know you think eventually 
That you'll hear brothers' cries- 
And eventually we'll submerge- 
But you're in for one Hell of a surprise.
