Believe
Written by Eugene Wong
I’ve gone astray because my world had pushed me
down,
I've had to pay for all my faults that shaped my frowns,
I took the wrong direction,
Now I’m torn by this infection,
But You were there, You were there once again.
Chorus
I believe in You,
I have faith in You,
I surrender my soul, my life, my love to You.
I believe in You,
I was saved by You,
You are there when I can’t care,
And You are there when life’s not fair.
I went astray when all my fears had
kicked me down,
You answered all the questions I thought I’d fall
from,
I thought I knew my faith,
Now I’m calling for Your grace,
You take me there, You take me there once again.
Chorus
Besides All This
Written by Eugene Wong
What do you see besides all this,
All of these times I’ve gone to miss,
Sheltered in,
Through all of these unexpected thoughts,
You were the only one I saw,
Deep within.
Bridge
And I have never pushed too far,
And I just don’t know where to start,
When I am falling one step closer to your world,
I’ll know that
Chorus
I’m standing here,
Waiting for, a way to make you realize,
In your eyes,
When I find, the answers held behind all this.
The beat is a distant from my heart,
To tell you the truth right from the start,
Holding on,
Blindness is all I’ve come to fear,
Trapped in the ends of these past years,
Next to you.
Bridge
Chorus
Outro
Held behind all this,
The answers held behind all this,
Held behind all this,
The answers held behind all this.
Categories
Written by Eugene Wong
So where do I belong? Am I not
there?
I thought I was a gift of gold, but now I see where I am,
I’m sorry! This isn’t fair!
I feel like the pages of a book, a section of dry land,
What have I done wrong? I’m not qualified?
“Better luck next time!” I know, is one of your
lies.
The sheet of paper speaks the truth,
But I know it to be false, for I am just like others,
The metal of a fork is the metal of a spoon,
Where no one is left to lie in the gutter,
Who is to select the highest and lowest of this
community?
When the strings of a guitar sing together in unity.
A ray of light runs beyond the wall,
Which I may never pass, trapped like a fish in the water,
When you are only told to give it your all,
To find the path on where you still wander,
So may I be chosen without these boundaries?
Place me here, and place them there, forget the gifts
I’ve found in me.
Categories for the limits that we
hold,
Categories for the abilities that we show,
Who is to judge the categories in which we divide?
For we are one, and no one decides.
Close Apart
Written by Eugene Wong
Well, it’s fall, and all the
leaves have fallen down,
I’ve felt so lost, but I’ve gotten back off the
ground,
And I see you, you’re turning your cheek to me,
You look in my eyes and that is how I feel,
Bridge
How can a long lost boy meet someone like you,
I hear the beat of my heart,
I’ve never pushed too far.
Chorus
Standing there, looking like I don’t care,
Chin on my bag, with my head turned to the window,
Next to me, I feel I can hardly breathe,
Cause the only thing I know is we’re close apart.
If I could speak, but I’ve
never said a word at all,
Sitting on the bench, with my back against a wall,
And every day, I try to look for you,
Can’t stand to know it won’t be soon,
Bridge 2
I just wanna say I’ve missed you bad,
You’re running in my head,
I thought I loved you, but I never said.
Outro
I know we’re getting close apart,
I’ve felt it sitting in my heart,
I know we’re getting close apart,
It’s been the same way from the start.
Close apart…
Close apart…
Close apart from me…
Close apart…
Close apart…
Close apart…you see…
Discolored
Written by Eugene Wong
Sometimes you feel as though you're out of place
inside this world,
You take your chances only you receive is dust,
You face the mirror taking hold of all your fears,
It’s like the home you reject,
And the colors that you’ve lost.
Bridge
I can be everything you need,
But I can’t be when you can’t see.
Chorus
Cause I’m trying to be who I am,
You made me wanna be somebody else.
And I don’t need your disguise to make me realize,
That I can’t be somebody else.
It’s hard to step out of your
shadows to other strangers,
And love your vanity of faded roots and colors,
You shelter from these lies and questioned answers,
It’s like trading souls with the dreams you’ve
longed to be.
Bridge 2
I don’t need what you’ve asked of me,
And I’ve got fears you can’t see.
Chorus
Shaded in, all mixed up,
You make me search another self,
But you can’t burn me out to reach that star.
Chorus
Faded Picture
Written by Eugene Wong
Things are changing inside this
world,
You’ve gone away to find your destiny,
I tried to reach you, to walk by your side,
When all these shadows are only meant to hide.
Bridge
Run away, I cannot control this,
Run away, when every time you have known it,
Run away, I’m walking off to the distance,
When leaving you off has only brought me back to you.
Chorus
You’re only a faded picture,
That’s lost in time behind these years,
The hands of the clock will never stop,
You’ve found that one behind these tears.
The dark has faded, the sun begins
to shine,
The streets are empty, you’re looking to my eyes,
A broken path, I cannot even risk,
A chain of memories, forgetting all of this.
Bridge 2
Run away, I cannot control this,
Run away, when every time you have known it,
Run away, I’m walking off to the distance,
I’m seeing that everything has turned my life
around.
Chorus
You’re standing within my
heart,
The future holds, you are a friend,
The end of a dream, the end of a joke,
The urge to let go to not pretend.
Outro
Trapped inside this moment,
Don’t know where I’m going,
But I’m still moving on, away from all of this,
All these faded pictures,
Everything I’ve lost,
All these false illusions,
Have taken me away.
Fallen
Written by Eugene Wong
When time is gone, and all is done,
I’m sitting in the corner of this room again,
When time is lost, when things go wrong,
I see the faded mornings of the times we met.
Bridge
I’m standing with my head down to the
ground,
I’m searching your soul, but I don’t know how,
I’m losing control, trying to find a way,
To finally tell you what I have to say,
Chorus
Across the streets of hope, the angels fill my
soul,
I’m giving up forever for you,
Look at the stars at night, don’t wanna say goodbye,
I’ve realized I’ve fallen for you.
And if you find me here, I’ll
never disappear,
I’m thinking of the time when I’ll be gone,
And when tomorrow nears, I’ll find you in my tears,
Just realizing everything I’ve lost.
Bridge
Chorus
Fear
Forever
Written by Eugene Wong
Well I left again to run away from
this,
And I tripped myself, I stumbled over you,
I think it’s over, I can’t get closer,
What am I to do now before I hit the ground?
Bridge
Well, I get scared if you don’t care,
And I’m afraid of what to say,
Lost away, this truth just can’t be real.
Chorus
Understand this
Fear forever,
Talk to all my
Fears forever,
Every time I’m crashing in my head,
Question all these
Fears forever
What I need from
Fears forever,
Are what I got, that I can’t take with me.
And where do you go to run away from
me?
Why do you turn, is this reality?
Is this the end? I cannot mend
These gaps between us closed away from this world.
Bridge 2
Well, you get scared when I just care,
And you’re afraid of what I’ve paid,
All confused, these lies just can’t be real.
Chorus
Outro
Take my fears, push them out,
Lift me off my knees,
Take my fears, push them out,
Lift me to my feet,
Still afraid you’ve gone away,
Still afraid I’m lost away,
You’ve gone away.
First
to Fly
Written by Eugene Wong
Can I fulfill your requests or
should I second-guess?
Is this what I need?
Can I find the best of me?
Will you order or will you ask,
Me when I’m one step ahead of myself?
Bridge
Who will save my soul?
Who will chase the unknown?
Have I got nothing to fear,
When I know I’m right here.
Chorus
One by one we all become,
Rusted gold and broken lights,
I’m the man to say I’m backing out,
Deadened flowers, sweet and sour,
I can’t prove,
When I can’t choose,
And I won’t crash when I’ll be the first to
fly.
Do you hit the wall,
When tumbling you fall?
Trying to be someone you’re not,
All the words you’ve fought,
When pressure’s all you’ve got,
Sweating out what you don’t need when they agree.
Bridge
Chorus
When I fly are you satisfied?
When I choke do you have to hide?
Drifting,
Soaring,
I’m restoring,
Leaving this hill behind.
Chorus
Gold
Written by Eugene Wong
I’m falling backwards to the
ground,
I’m fading off the earth like dust,
My soul, my land is empty and gone,
I’m leaning on the edge of trust,
I’ve run my race without an
award,
I don’t expect a real big crowd,
Instead I’m drowning on my own,
Since I’ve got nothing to give, nothing to give.
Bridge
Maybe I just don’t have what it takes to be
a somebody inside this world,
And maybe I am stuck in nothingness when everything
I’ve known has gone away.
Chorus
You can take away my gold,
I’ve got everything to hold,
You can take away my gold,
And I’m still standing there,
I don’t care if I’m not there,
Everything I see is clear,
You can take away my gold,
I’ve got everything to hold.
I’m sinking or I’m
swimming ashore,
Either way I’ve fallen down,
I wake up to a new day, rainy,
So what’s the point, I still don’t know,
My anger rushes to my head,
I scream out loud along with tears,
My hidden self has been unknown,
Alas, I’ll see to all those years.
Bridge
Chorus
Grudge
Written by Eugene Wong
Take a swing right at me when you
don’t know the truth,
When you’re hiding anger’s laughing down on
you,
Paint yourself on the wall, tell me how it feels,
Is this a joke or is it real?
Maybe I’m wrong and maybe you’re right,
When all you needed was to start a fight,
Point at yourself before you speak,
Cause it’s not me you’re after.
Chorus
Can you see behind the lines of empty
self-denials?
Or am I still your enemy?
Can you understand yourself and what you’ve burned
with fiction?
Or am I still your enemy?
Criticize, realize when you crash
and burn,
Will you ever take in what you’ve learned?
Spin the world around with your disbeliefs,
How will we ever find some peace?
But I can’t accuse you, I can’t believe,
The picture you’ve made outside of me,
When complications and situations,
Have led us wandering nowhere.
Chorus
Outro
Or am I still your enemy?
Or am I still your enemy?
Or am I still your enemy?
No, I can’t be your enemy.
Holding
On
Written by Eugene Wong
I remember the day you talked to me,
I turned around and your words had set me free,
I wrote a letter, I wanted you to know,
I was tired of this, I had to end this show.
Bridge
Forget me, you got on with your life.
It’s not okay, I don’t wanna say goodbye.
Monday was the first day, when I
would see your face,
Friday was the moment when I stopped my foolish ways,
I had to turn away, you didn’t seem to care,
And now I’m here again to face another year.
Bridge
Chorus
Cause I‘m
Holding on,
Holding on,
Holding on,
Holding on to you…
It’s hard to see you, sitting
in the dirt,
Holding that feeling, I find it hard to turn,
You look at me, you never seem to know,
I always loved you, but I couldn’t take control.
Bridge 2
Understand, what I’m trying to say,
I’m closing down, cause there’s no other way.
Chorus
Jackie
Written by Eugene Wong
Jackie, you’re so beautiful,
You know you’re voice is musical,
When you smile I do the same,
I brushed with Colgate today.
Gatorade is what I need,
To keep me standing by your feet,
Take my hand don’t let me go,
When all I need is your heart and soul.
Chorus
And I’ve never seen an angel,
But you always make me sail away,
Tell me what have you been thinking?
Day by day I find I’m spinning away.
Jackie, how is life without me?
Without you, I feel like a brownie,
When your hair flows like the waves,
Reminds me when I have to shave,
You are like my kryptonite,
But too bad I aint Superman,
I can be your guitar player,
Play my song, and hold you later.
Chorus
Jackie, can you make my day?
For the movie I will pay,
I don’t need my PS2,
When all I need is you for you,
I don’t want a fancy car,
And I can’t take a broken heart,
When you play b-ball in the sun,
I realize you’re the only one…for me.
Chorus
Jackie, you’re so beautiful,
And Goo Goo Dolls have helped me grow,
But they can’t be my everything,
Like you alone to make me sing.
Lost and Found
Written by Eugene Wong
One step closer, to a world of hope,
One life further, to the depths of the skies,
I know I found You, when I was weak,
But I forgot You, and I faded out,
Chorus
I know I lost You, but You brought me back,
I know I turned around, but You stayed by my tracks,
You always loved me, but I couldn’t keep up,
Now I’ve come back to be saved, by you, so help me
now.
Every evening, when I am alone,
I read your letters, you take away my pain,
I know I love You, Cause I’ve found your care,
I’m standing next to your shoes, so I never fade
out,
Chorus
The
Norm
Written by Eugene Wong
Find yourself, who you are,
I didn't think I could ever get this far,
I can stand,
Yet I can chase my fears around,
And live my doubts,
Born and raised for the world,
Not for me, I'm reality,
And I keep spinning away.
Bridge
I love to dream, of what I see in me,
I'm all alone,
And I can't make it on my own,
Tired of training for the norm,
Chorus
Make it happen,
Don't shut down,
Be the one you choose to be,
Dream away,
What you've prayed,
Can you break outside the norm?
Trust yourself, fight your fall,
Will you ever be a child again?
Can you smile?
Break out of this tired out machine.
Bridge
Chorus
Find yourself, all you are,
It's non-stop to the road I've chased so far,
Superstar, is that so hard to see?
Chorus
Outro
Out of the norm,
I wanna be out of the norm,
So I can dream out loud.
Other
Side of the World
Written by Eugene Wong
I wanted just to be a somebody,
An average teen out on the street,
I tried to be like everybody else except myself,
But then I fell,
Bridge
Every time I'm in a crowd,
On my own without a shout,
Out of line, I disagree,
I'm scared of me, that's what I seek.
Chorus
I'm on the other side of the world,
Hang on, when everything's unfurled,
Sometimes I wonder if I'm dreaming.
I doubt I'll make it on my own,
And I don't ever wanna be alone.
Can you take me there?
Can you take me to your world?
I wished society would understand
this traffic jam and where I stand,
Unlike the ordinary,
All my thoughts that I have carried,
Made me question in my confession.
Bridge
Chorus
I'm different than you,
I'm breaking through all I've had to do,
I wanted to be free,
To live in my own identity.
Chorus
Cause I've been to the other side of the world,
Hung on, when everything unfurled,
Sometimes I'm trying to return again.
This feeling never ends,
Locked in the pictures of my head.
Can you take me there?
Can you take me to your world?
Out
of Time
Written by: Eugene Wong
Twisted by the blinding curves,
Don't know when, don't know where to go,
You're standing right in front of me,
Trapped in moonlight, bound by open hope.
I don't know when, and I don't know
how,
I'm falling in midst of my confusion,
The past is gone, and I can't move on,
Cause dreams are only torn down by illusions,
Chorus
I won't receive your valentine,
Cause end results don't work that way,
I think I'm crashin' down the drain,
I think I'm running, running out of time.
This ain't the TV, this ain't
fantasy,
The rain tears down, the glass is gonna break,
The key has turned, my arms are free,
Cause all I have to say to face the truth is that...
Chorus
I'm fading out, I'm going blind,
The point of life has lost its name,
I'm tired of facing wasted days,
I think we're running, running out of time...
I think we're running, running out of time...
I think we're running, running out of time...
Rejection
Written by Eugene Wong
I’m on my own,
I’m all alone,
And everything has fallen to pieces,
I hear the whispers all around me,
Rejected again.
Chorus
Help me,
I’m torn,
You know, but now the rest of my life is gone,
Stop laughing,
Stop shouting,
I’m all alone, I’ll always be this way out
here.
Looked down on,
Laughed at,
Misunderstood, I hope you would have sympathy,
I’m struck cold, forgotten,
I’m lost, I’m blind, now I am put to shame.
Chorus 2
What are my chances next to zero,
What have I got that you don’t need,
I’m crying, I’m breaking down in pain,
You’ll never comprehend these tears,
As all my hope is stolen away,
You think it’s just a simple game,
Behind these doors I’m gonna fade.
Difference,
Opinion,
I’m sorry through my life I’ve found I’m
way behind,
What else is new, I’ve been rejected,
All over again, we’ll just pretend.
Chorus 3
Help me,
I’m fading out,
I just wanted to show you how I care,
Lift me up,
Break me down,
But either way I’m still rejected.
Outro
I’m leaving now,
It’s all so far til I am back to you.
I’m leaving now,
The same old sound to beat me down.
I’m leaving now,
I’m leaving now,
I’m leaving now,
I’m running away, I’m heading out.
Sanity
Written by Eugene Wong
Conversation, wasted lies again,
You accuse me, where do I begin?
All she wants is all I’m not,
And what she sees so suddenly,
Takes me to a place I don’t belong.
Bridge
I don’t understand how I can’t trust,
And you can’t comprehend the boy I was,
Now I question why these worlds collide,
When sinking thoughts are only made to hide.
Chorus
I don’t wanna hit the floor,
I don’t wanna close my eyes,
I don’t wanna be a victim to your words,
Everyting has pulled me down,
Everything has pushed me out,
But I don’t need the poison of my sanity.
Where do I go, why don’t things
work out?
Chain reaction, lost in passions now,
You were there, I had to care,
But now I question what I did,
Who am I to lie in all this dirt?
Bridge
Chorus
Outro
But I don't need the poison of my sanity.
Side
by Side
Written by Eugene Wong
I see a perfect picture, until I see
the corner,
The gray and fading smears create a lost and shameful
figure,
His head is down, his back is stiff, as he walks out the
door,
The footsteps of a wanderer, within the pack no more.
The gifts he holds are dear to him,
but only are they lost,
When all he has is fear again, destroying who he is,
A star at night, lights up the skies, like all the other
ones,
It never shines above the rest, not even to the sun.
Why do runners race side by side to
step above the rest?
Why do flowers bloom up high, while others lay to
shrivel?
To reach the point of happiness is only to accept,
Identities for what they are, not how they will contend.
I’m searching for myself out
there, the gifts I’ve come to hold,
Not those of others to make me bold, or beat me to the
ground,
The joy, the peace, the smile on my face, is what I have
achieved,
When higher ground has trampled me down, I’ll never
be deceived.
Side by side to only compare, I
won’t be driven down,
Through everything I love and share, with everyone
around.
Single
Soul
Written by: Eugene Wong
If I could live my own life, in the
corner of my mind,
I’d give it all I had to open my eyes,
I jump from my bed to see what’s ahead,
Alas, I’ve found a string of lies,
You turn me around and I walk away,
You shouldn’t have turned and left my astray,
Chorus
And of all of my faults, that I’ve come to
show,
I’m gonna break free, it’s all that I need,
It’s not all because, I’m tired of my show,
It’s only because, I’ve wanted my own.
I see it now my childhood years, the
answers were not always mine,
I had to go my way to find a straight line,
The only thing I see is dust,
I turn around, but have to trust,
Then clouds in my mind show who I am,
Through working down my only chance.
Chorus x 2
Outro
I am no single soul… x 4
The Sound in my Room
Written by: Eugene Wong
I hear the sound of thinking, the
healer in my room,
I feel the fires bursting, outside to trap me in,
This room is dark, but shining with what I never lose,
I close my eyes for sleeping, to see my world again.
To melody I wander, when everything
is wrong,
To strumming wooden instruments, I feel my heart and
soul,
My pencil on my paper, my sighing to my song,
I lay my head down peacefully, the journey to unfold.
A compass with no needle, a book
without its words,
To Him I find and follow, His fire gives me warmth,
When straight across the room, an angel clears my search,
A prisoner of freedom, an eagle as it soars.
So if my hope has fallen, when time
has passed me by,
You’ll find me with my voice and song where in my
room I lie.
What Life Is
Written by Eugene Wong
I am getting tired,
I just can’t see the world in my own eyes,
She sits at the table,
That’s one more thing to stumble down in life,
Pencil on my paper,
I have to work until I start to fall,
Years locked in a cellblock,
I can’t take this, I’m alone, now trapped on my
own.
Chorus
Cause I’m closing down, but I don’t mind,
I’ve had to frown, and I know why,
Still moving on because I know what life is.
Didn’t get the things that I wanted,
Accepted truth so I bought it,
Don’t worry now because I know what life is.
Staring out the window,
I’m beaten down forever in my mind,
Walking on the sidewalk,
I can’t fight it, stuck with me, it’s all I
face now.
Chorus
Outro
Stop turning around,
I’m burning out,
Facing the world is all I need,
Stop bringin’ me down,
Crying out loud,
But if you do, please set me free.
Chorus
Where You’ll Find Me
Written by Eugene Wong
This is the day, I had to go away,
I saw the moment, and I promised I would stay,
Yesterday, you called me on the phone,
You witnessed everything and then you were alone,
Bridge
Today, I’m right here by your side,
Don’t worry, I’ve touched the skies,
Chorus
I know it’s hard to say goodbye,
I’m there with you, go dry your eyes,
When everything has fallen free,
Look up above, where you’ll find me, where
you’ll find me.
Bridge
Chorus
