1. Dark Places
Music by Reb Beach, Lyrics by Bill Hickey

Desperate nights, strange temptations
I have no control
Outta my mind to be satisfied
Livin' fantasy

All that you want I can be
Turn me around till I'm perfectly twisted
Become the sweet mystery
Of my infected mind

I wanna crawl inside you
And we come together -over you
I wonder can you hear what I'm sayin

Way down in dark places
You don't speak of - I'm alive
Lay down all my secrets
If you'd only read my mind

Deviant thoughts, tainted visions
dance around in my brain
All that I feel I don't know what's real
Fallen secretly

I can take ya down, I can show ya how it oughta be
I can take ya down, and fulfill another fantasy
I can bring ya down, I can make it all seem so real

2. Masquerade
Music by Reb Beach, Lyrics by Bill Hickey

World we made, so afraid
Human race mask our face
Feel it burnin
Can you find a single trace of trust
Power preaching deceit and lust
All the while we smile and we wave goodbye

All lost in a masquerade
The path we choose and the price we pay
The world we know is drippin in decay
Look around you, see it all
Lost in a masquerade

Homicide, suicide, people bleedin
Separated, segregated, what's the reason
Now we're dancin on the edge
now We're hanging from a ledge
All the while we smile and we wave goodbye

All the fools, all the rules, live to break it
touch nobody, be somebody, kill to make it
Now you're basking in the glow
And you're only reapin what you sow
All the while we smile and we wave goodbye

3. Ghost
Music and lyrics by Reb beach

I touch you all the time
and you don't feel a thing
I walk between the lines
Fall beneath your feet
you'll never know my stare
whenever you turn your head
you'd never understand
not even when I'm dead

and if I died with you haunting me
I'd still know that together we
Almost made our own heaven
I could be your ghost
and walk with you always
instead of wishing for the day

I wanna lay down with you
and listen while you talk
every part of you is right
down to the way you walk
my soul will cry out
and bring you close to me
just for a moment
I'll taste what can never be

and if I died with you haunting me
I'd still know that together we

Doesn't worry me
afraid of what you'll see
when you realize
I'm a world away
nothing left to say
you can close your eyes

when I'm blind
You'll be walkin me
when I shine
you'll be talkin sayin "It's alright"
Only by you 'm survived

4. Better Shade Of Gray
Music by Reb Beach, Lyrics by Bill Hickey

How can I hold on to tomorrow
Broken empty shell, bruised and hollow
I'm sinking in my sin
and lonely is my hell within
A darkness grows inside
colors fading

Try and understand
that I'm seaching for an angel
to light my darkest day
even just a better shade of gray

What have I become isolation
find a perfect peace contradiction
I hate to bring you down
and drag you under while I drown
sinking deeper now
disappearing

Help me find a way, from the poring rain, take away this pain

Take away my mind from the inside
Nothing more than lies on the outside
It's taken over me
I've become my own worst enemy
Can't save me from myself
No salvation

How can I hold on to tomorrow
Even just a better shade of gray
I don't need the pain and the sorrow
Gonna get me shelter from the rain
Crashing down on me like a landslide
Even just a better shade of gray
Even just a better shade of gray

5. Bleed
Music and lyrics by Reb beach

If you could stand in my shoes and see yourself
You'd know how I feel
If you were done playing games with my head
We could make a deal
You could help me to heal
I wish that you were dead

Don't bring me down, you'll never get what you want
treat me like a clown, all the people that you shine on
I sold my soul, I need a little daylight
I've given you all
Nothin back from you

When I try to reach out and you ignore
And you get yourself so high
When what little respect goes right out the door
You'll be stoned and bored
You can rest assured
For you there is no cure

All alone and bored
You can rest assured
For you there is no cure

6. Fanatic
Music by Reb Beach, Lyrics by Bill Hickey

No emotions, I possess
All the tension, becomes less
Don't you want to know
how far that I can go? end of my rope

Fanatic, I'm at it again, I'm dope
Fanatic, an addict again, oh no

An addict, fanatic again, No hope
Fanatic, I'm at it again, I'm,,,
No compassion, I receive
My destruction, I believe
Don't you really see
the real pathetic me? can't ya see I'm dope?

Then again it's not so bad
feeling happiness

All the questions I once had
my new consciousness

7. Red
Music by Reb Beach, Lyrics by Bill Hickey

In a dream, it was you and me
the pieces fit so perfectly
In my eyes the blur of love to be
Was all that I could see

Don't you come crawlin, now it's all fallin
Around your feet
Girl, you know how far this has gone
Can't you see the damage is done

Like a fire I saw red
And it burns inside my head
How you cheat, how you lie
And the trust between us dies
i saw red

Like an angel how could I know
Your heart could be so cold
never changin your wicked ways
Go on, get yourself another fool

8. Sorrow Stained Eyes
Music by Reb Beach, Lyrics by Bill Hickey

Alone, refusing to believe it's true
What's haunting you
Buried deep inside your mind
A tortured soul is becoming too much to hide
it's not too late, save yourself confide in me
It's not too late, if I could only see,,,
see the way that you see, I could set you free
Relieve these darkened surroundings
that are never meant to be

Sorrow stained eyes
hide behind the lies inside you
Conceal (all) your pain
Can't forgive what you can't forget
You can't live with all you regret
Too many reasons why
Deafened by the cries inside you
and the scars remain
Sorrow stained eyes
Hide behind the lies inside you
Conceal (all) your pain

Erase the past and somehow keep it all
From happening
Accepting what tomorrow may bring
A final thought, a lasting breath and a hope fleeting
It's not too late, save yourself and see what's real
it's not too late, if I could only feel,,
Feel the way that you feel, I could help you heal
Relieve these darkened surroundings
That seem so real

11. Love So True
Music by Reb beach, Lyrics by Bill Hickey and Reb Beach

Sometimes when I feel all alone
I smile and think of what you have given
I feel all the love you have shown
And I'll never have to worry anymore

(No) I'll never have to worry
Of all the love stories
There's never been a love so true

Your thoughts are my thoughts
And my heart I give completely to you
It's all I have to give
You are my perfect reason to live

Seems emptiness and pain
Will never be a part of me
How do you take away every fear I have in the world
And stay my little girl

All those obsessed with fame and glory
Will never have the riches that I do
