Addiction of Fools 2006

Wolf Within
Sultry
shadows sway /in the smoky neon haze
Light
caresses and wreathes/Light caresses and wreathes
To
the rhythm/To the rhythm we breathe
(Pre-Chorus)
Acids
of rage feed the roar of the lion
Desire
feeds the fire of dreams
Time
will slay her beauty we pray
Cast
our ashes on the wind
Once
the minute hand sweeps/Past the twelve again
Wanton
tales my friend
Infatuation
runs deep
She’s
my heroin/She's so beautiful
(Repeat
Pre Chorus)
(Chorus)
Betrayal.....
I’m
the song of sin
I’m
the wolf within
Love lust I’m betrayal
I'm
betrayal....
Desire
feeds the flame/Feeds the flame
Of
my dreams/Of my dreams
Cast
our ashes out/Cast our ashes out
On
the wind/On the wind
(Pre
chorus)
(Chorus)
Full Moon
Lyrics: Erickson Music: Torok/Erickson
Where do I go from here?
Another page has turned
The chapter has come to an end
I feel the anxiety all my fears rush in
All my fears rush in
Spiritual side is getting stronger
Not in a physical way
The power I wield
I no longer need
And time it slowly drifts away
(Bridge)
The future is bright the ride is mellow
Not as many highs or lows
All I see is a new horizon
Give me a path and let go
(Chorus)
I still feel my youth it’s been tamed
I try to take it all in stride
I still feel my youth its not closed out
Showing my age and I know why
One more ride
(Refrain)
Full Moon again/Howling wolf the heart of young men
(Repeat call and response)
Where do I go from here?
All the faces changed
This chapter keeps getting longer
As my past just seems to slip away
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
1000 Reasons
Lyrics:Erickson Music: Erickson/Torok
Change of heart has come over me again
I’m looking back I see where I’ve been
Never want to know never want to see that again
Tell me what to do tell me what is in store and when
Thinking about the time wasted time gone by
Looking back I never know why
Never let you see never what is inside of me
Tell me what you need show me how to set myself free
(Chorus)
I never felt this way before
You bring so much to me all my doubts you set them free
I never felt this way before
Walls are coming down 1000 reasons on the ground
(Bridge)
You seem to question whether my feelings are true
Its in my eyes can’t you feel it? It’s inside of you
Peaceful feeling comes over me again
I’m looking back I can see where it began
Never off my mind never let these feelings subside
Tell you it’s the truth show you all I need is you
(Chorus)
Addiction of Fools
Lyrics: Torok Music: Erickson
Twists and curls and try to remember whispering breathes of hope
Loneliness turns the whiskey burn into one last thing to lose
Tis truly, truly cruel that love is the Addiction of Fools
Addiction of Fools
I toss my hair back and close my eyes and I can hear it call your name
Could I turn my heart to ambrosia to be touched by you again?
Would it melt the ice enough to suffice?
The silence end
The silence end
Sweet worldly lady where have you gone?
Why did you leave me here drowning in dawn?
St. Valentine eve all I can do is hold a rose hold back my tears
You hold my soul again
You hold my soul again
Why do I always dream of you/I dream of you
Infamy
Lyrics: Erickson Music: Torok
Fear
is all you know
Pray
to Gods no more
Hate
is all you have
Why
the blood of man
Burn
for sins never seen that before
Lies
and deceit in your heart forever more
(Chorus)
Burn
while the night is young
Learn
along the way
All
that’s come and gone
Live
to see another day
All
that you should see
Signs
of what should be
Blind
the path you chose
Lord
only knows
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
(Refrain)
Why
legend holds the code
Time
spoken words forever more
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
Do U Harm
Lyrics: Erickson/Valle/Emmer Music:Erickson/Torok
I feel it everyday
I’ve been down so long
I need a hand, a hand to get up
(Bridge)
I can tell you why, if you want to know
I can tell you why,
If you promise me once you will never tell another soul
Well I hate my life
I’m always crying for more
The harder I try the more I loath
(Repeat Bridge)
But the more I try the less I think you truly know
(Chorus)
Ya better step back feeling like I might explode
Well I’m short, your tall your smart
You seem to think you know it all
You’re good so bad all the while
Stealing, cheat and lie its sad
I’m liked but your loved
Can’t see through the clouds you seem to fly above
It’s all good for one day
I’ll be gone free to live another day
(Refrain)
What can you say never want it back give it back another day
Give it back another day
Its all that I know hard to tell what is right from wrong I will do you harm
I’ll do you harm
Well I hate my life
But I hate yours more
I moving on with mine
So you better watch out I’m knocking on your back door
(Bridge)
But the more I try the less I think you truly know
(Chorus)
Y
Lyrics: Erickson Music:Torok/Erickson
Break in the clouds now its clear
Fear of age makes me weary
Take a picture mark the time and year
Put up a front to protect me
Lines cut deep you can see
Looking good in the mirror
Lights turned low to hide my years
Need to break all these feelings
Need for youth it tires me
Can’t understand why I take it
The years begin to attack
(Chorus)
Look what the years have done
Show all the damage done
Fear of the days gone by
Just keep asking why
I finally start to accept it
Cloths they wear just don’t suit me
Feel ok with my face now
Rugged look has become me
Slow road is all that I ask for
Lord I’m on my way
(Chorus)
Breathing
Lyrics: Lindsey Music: Torok/Erickson
Give me one night with you and I will tear them all to shreds
Have you heard that girl talk I’m that kind of man
Pull down your defenses and I will show what I am
(Bridge)
You, you need danger excitement is what you lack
Now I’ve got you, you never dreamed of that
You never dreamed of
You never dreamed of that
Strip the sheets off the bed me all over your skin
Work my way between your legs now you’ve let me in
Daylight you can’t run dark of the night you will know
Look up to the corner I’ll be breathing in the heat
(Repeat Bridge)
Roll you down roll you over
Till it fades into black/till it fades into black
Last thing you will remember
Me breathing down your back
The Burden
Lyrics:
Erickson Music: Torok/Erickson
Keep
asking me what’s on my mind
You
seem to think I have something to hide
(Bridge)
Lines
cut so deep it’s my face in the mirror
Last
gasp for air the end getting nearer
Light
at the end seems so far away
Stomach
tied up in knots don’t know who I can blame
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
The
Burden buried deep from the start
Keep
fighting I’m, I’m falling apart
Burns
scaring me more than I know
Lines
on my face reminding me so
(Refrain)
I’ve
got a feeling
Never
be the same again
Weathered look frayed from the sun and all that came and went
Days
passing by as weeks turn to years
Music
in my head marks the time that I’m here
(Bridge)
2x(Chorus)
Forsaken
Lyrics:
Erickson
Breaking bones are all you hear
Comes from the left with a fury
Make your move for the time is near
Put up a wall to protect you
Eyes wide open to see
Pain grabs hold hard to break free
Get used to the bite, get used to the bite for it's real
Eyes look so dark in the mirror
Cold to the touch how I feel
The need to break all this karma
Scared as hell it’s just the way I feel
I can’t understand why I take it
This thorn so deep in my back
I push to keep myself going
I can’t lay down I need to attack
(Chorus)
Give me a light/Give me a light
A way to see/A way to see
Give me the right for I bleed
Give me the power
You Forsaken Me
(Bridge)
Shackled to the floor of this wasteland, the light at the end is so far away
The heat from the fire still burning, each breathe so hard to take
The sun came up this morning, the sky is clear no sign of rain
Can you feel my heart beating stronger?
Can you tell the days are longer?
One more chance to take it away
Work so hard just to make it
Buried alive so it seems
Running up hill in your daydream
The nightmare that seems so real
A swing was all that I asked for
A chance to go my own way
The demon inside keeps it even
He keeps taking my life away
