1. Almost Heaven (Intro)
++++++++++++++++++++++++
I packed my bags and caught the next train to this mountain side
Where i could watch the sun set with tears in my eyes
I can sit here for days letting the cancer fill my lungs
Letting the tears wash away the pain that i always seem to mask behind a
smile

Where I could watch the sun set with tears in my eyes [x4]

Yesterday seemed so important to me
and today i lost myself within myself
How could i get lost in what was mine
Rivers run there course,I guess
and sometimes i just run
but today i never stopped
i never stopped running from you


2. Paint Me A Pretty Picture
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I wish these times would never end
today so many hearts will be broken
when happiness and sadness pull at every heart string
pull at every heart string
no one knows where there going
and what tomorrow has in store
i wish we could all hold hands
and come out the other side
i wish we could all hold hands

i can only hope that the memories will never fade
in anyone's mind
even when we only have glossy covered pictures
reminding us of yesterday
yesterday [x4]

if only i had a picture
of today from our hearts
for the cover of the scrap book in my mind [x2]

please paint me a picture of today before
tomorrow takes it away
takes it away

i can only hope that the memories never fade
in anyone's mind [x2]
even when we only have glossy covered pictures [x2]
reminding us of yesterday
yesterday [x4]


3. When Tomorrow Seems Forever
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Today my life
Fell into pieces
Everything i wanted was washed away
I looked today in the eyes
And fell to my knees [x2]

Grey skies above
Each drop drowned my pain
And i cried out to you [x2]
But you where no longer there [x2]
Watching over me [x3]

Today my life
Fell into pieces
Everything i wanted was washed away
I looked today in the eyes
And fell to my knees [x2]

Grey skies above
Each drop drowned my pain
And i cried out to you [x2]
But you where no longer there [x2]
Watching over me

I caused you to run from my me
I caused you to run from my arms
Now all i can do
Is remember
Before things went wrong

When my heart first skipped a beat
And i saw you in my life
Forever [x6]
When i wake up tomorrow
I'll spend another day without you
And so on and so forth
Everyday will seem forever


4. Casting Shadows
++++++++++++++++++
For every ounce of blood I shed
I poured my heart out
On Paper Stenciled Lies [x2]

Shower me with blankets of love
And turn your face and walk away
Leave me with shadows off in the distence [x2]

You will never be part of my life [x2]

FOREVER TEARS FALL [x2]

You'll never be part of me
And i'll never be part of you

I'd pay a lifetime to be by your side [x2]

FOREVER TEARS FALL [X2]

I'd pay a lifetime to be by your side [x2]


5. And Still I Try
++++++++++++++++++
NOTHING MORE THEN A COWARDS LIE
FACE FIRST DENYING THE TRUTH
LET IT BE KNOW THAT I [x2]

FALL FACE FIRST INTO YOUR HEART
TEARS THAT I HAVE SHED
EVERY BREATH TAKEN AWAY
EVERY BREATH STOLEN

NOTHING COULD GIVE ME MORE PLEASURE
THEN TO SEE YOU FALL [x2]

NOTHING MORE THEN A COWARDS LIE
FACE FIRST DENYING THE TRUTH
LET IT BE KNOW THAT I [x2]

FALL FACE FIRST INTO YOUR HEART
TEARS THAT I HAVE SHED
EVERY BREATH TAKEN AWAY
EVERY BREATH STOLEN

[chorus]
RISE, RISE YOUR HEAD UP
TO, TO THE SKY
IN, IN THE PAST YOU'VE BEEN JUDGING ME
SOON, AND SOON YOU'LL DIE [x2]

I FALL, 1,000 TIMES 1,000 TIMES

[chorus]

YOU'VE ONLY TAKEN EVERYTHING I EVER WORKED FOR. [x2]

[chorus]

DYING INSIDE OF YOU [x6]


6. Embracing Emptiness
++++++++++++++++++++++
And her eye's caught the tears
of a 1000 memories
And each one fell in silence
Slowly tearing each fiber
As her heart bleeds
Her knees grew calloused
And she passes each day with a smile [x2]

And now her heart bleeds the coldest blood
In her lifetime [x2]
The coldest blood

Her day's turned to years
Years to memories
Of when everyone laughted at her
And she cries her self to sleep

And now her heart bleeds the coldest blood
In her lifetime [x2]
The coldest blood

Her day's turned to years
Years to memories
Of when everyone laughted at her
And she cries her self to sleep

IN HER EYE'S

Your faces melt away
And she can be happy in this world
In this world

And her eye's caught the tears
Of a 1000 memories
And each one fell in silence
Slowly tearing each fiber
As her heart bleeds
Her knees grew calloused
And she passes each day with a smile [x2]

Your faces melt away
And she can be happy in this world
In this world
