You are The Way
Music: Ansel
Words: Ansel

I see tasseled hair among daffodils
swaying ever softly against the wind
And I recall a moonlight casting
shadows of yourself against your skin
And ever farther, ever forward you
and ever lasting, ever asking
what it is I see in you

And you are the way, you are the way,
you are the way I wanted you
And you are teh way, you are the way,
you are the way I wanted you
if I could shape the world

Yarns of sadness, strings of gladness
would around our lives with gentle hands
And melancholy symphonies
lose their solace at the breeze' command
And ever feeling, ever needing you
and ever wanting, ever haunting
every dream I dream in you

Reality
Music: E. Lebario, C. Young, E. Lucas
Words: E. Lebario, M. Palermo

I...forgive my crimes
no I...didn't do my time
My time...any time
So why...do I hurt inside
because I feel denied

I am no longer who I was
way back then I should've been
How can I ever make you see reality
I am no longer who I was
way back then how I should've been
How can I ever make you see...reality, reality

Oh why, would you prefer to dream
that I...am not what I seem
You dream...of things unseen

Take My Time
Music: E. Lebario, C. Young, E. Lucas, Ansel
Words: Ansel

This schedule is not to my liking
too trying for a man with no patience
To keep waiting, anticipating while you're deciding
to get into these spaces
And it's ever so hard to maintain control
you say it's healthy when we never know
Where we're going or what we're doing
I'm spinning around, around, around

And I'll take my time over you
and I'll fill in the lines myself

Oh beautiful bitch of a wallflower
it's so easy when you're observing
Your life is so out of focus
and to me it's so very unnerving
And it's ever so hard to maintain control
you say it's healthy when we never know
Where you're going or what you're doing
I'm spinning around, around, and around

Last Good-bye
Music: E. Lebario, C. Young, E. Lucas
Words: Ansel

Isn't it funny how we cry
isn't it funny we never said good-bye
And it's happening here tonight
and it's happening here tonight

It's the last good-bye
it's the last good-bye,
and it's happening here tonight

Isn't it clever how we're cool
isn't it clever how we broke the rules
But you're happy here tonight
oh so happy here tonight

It's the last good-bye,
and it's tearing me apart
It's the last good-bye,
and it's happening here tonight

Isn't it quiet where you are
oh so quiet like a falling star
And you're happy there tonight
oh so happy there tonight

Empty Love
Music: E. Lebario, C. Young, E. Lucas
Words: Ansel

You've spent too long wasting time
you've spent too long chasing lies
So turn around and look to me
feel it when you start
Turn around and see that it's just me
here by your heart

And I've been waiting while you tried
always failing, and when you cried
I would be there when you fall
and I would answer when you call
So turn around look to me
feel it when you start
Turn around and see that it's still me
here by your heart, my empty love

And I'll follow you down,
oh I'll follow you down my empty love

Ecstasy Road
Music: E. Lebario, C. Young, E. Lucas
Words: Ansel

(She's all alone and she's looking down
the wind is blowing and there's no one around)

She stands alone on a burning bridge
and her life is all that's looking down
She takes a breath and begins to smile
she feels the wind rush all around her

She's given love, gotten love,
lost the love, now she's hating love
She's given love, gotten love,
lost the love, now she's hating ecstasy road
She like to fly down ecstasy road
she's gonna die down ecstasy road

He furls his brow, screams aloud
starts throwing things across the room
Grabs his keys, drives his car
off a cliff cause he's in that mood

He's given love, gotten love,
lost the love now he's hating love
He's given love, gotten love,
lost the love now he's hating ecstasy road
He likes to drive down ecstasy road
he's getting by down ecstasy road
He's getting high down ecstasy road
he's gonna die down ecstasy road

Aqua
Music: Ansel
Words: Ansel

Green, Blue, seeing ghosts in the mirror
right on time
Feels like chances I've forgotten
follow close behind
I close my eyes and look away
my view has changed
But everything has turned around and I have lost
the path that I had taken on the way

Strange ways, we try to find a better place
then burn it down
So fun pretending life is ever
closer to profound
I close my eyes and look away
my view has changed
But everything has turned around and I have lost
the path that I had taken on the way

Green, Blue, seeing faces in the mirror
right on time
Feels like chances I've forgotten
follow close behind
I close my eyes and look away
my view has changed
But everything has turned around and I have lost
the path that I had taken on the way

Superneurotic Best Friend
Music: E. Lebario, C. Young, E. Lucas, Ansel
Words: Ansel

Hi, my, superneurotic best friend
and how are you doing?
Hey, you say, at least everything's okay
with the life you're so intent to ruin
Hey, take it all in stride
who cares about your selfish pride
Hey, take it all in stride
it feels so good when you think you've died

So, here we go, but I'm moving much to slow
for you and what you're doing
Fine, think it's time, that you laid it on the line
and figured out what the hell it is you're proving

Hi, my, superneurotic best friend
and how are you doing?
Hey, you say, at least it's better then yesterday
with the things in life you chose to do now
Hey, take it all in stride
who cares about your selfish pride
Hey, take it all in stride
it feels so good when you're alive inside

Escape(instrumental)
Music: E. Lebario, C. Young, E. Lucas

Adios
Music: E. Lebario, C. Young, E. Lucas
Words: E. Lebario, M. Palermo

Adios, aur revoir, good-bye
Cest la vie forget about me
Don't even start to cry
I thank God I'm finally free

Well, I looked into your eyes
all I saw were lies
Truth won't compromise
the fact that I despise...you

Your love was so surreal
these open wounds I could not feel
My dreams you'll never steal
with you no more I know I'll heal

How I see you walk away
a smile grows upon my face
So now come what may
with someone else I'll find my grace
