Listen To Me

Now its time, for you to let me in on things.
And let me know what's going on.
I know you feel like it's the end of the world and all is lost and gone for now.
Listen to me - I said snap out of it.
Why can't you see - Looks like your losin it.
Are you lookin at me? - Your mind is so far away.
Listen to me, get back to reality.
I dont see what brought this cloud over you, and made your world so dark and deep.
Just when I thought you got back on your feet;
You sunk back deeper down inside.
Listen to me - I said snap out of it.
Why can't you see - Looks like your losin it.
Are you lookin at me? - Your mind is so far away.
Listen to me get back to reality.
The sky's still blue today.
The flowers will bloom again (you only see rain).
The world revolves around nobody, so get it together, your life's over too fast.
Now its time, for you to get back to you,
back to the you, you used to be.
Listen to me - I said snap out of it.
Why cant you see - Looks like your losin it.
Are you lookin at me? - Your mind is so far away.
Listen to me get back to reality.

Leave Me Now
03:17
|

|
It all started when you looked at me with a blank stare.
The meaning is crystal now.
Your line of sight it goes right through me, just like we're living in a tragedy.
It seems so unfair.
Brush back your hair, and let me see your crooked smile.
Just because I haven't in a while.
Don't you leave me now.
I really want you to stay
Don't you leave me now.
There must be some other way.
If you leave me now everything we shared will disappear.
If you leave me now, leave me now.
I keep thinking about all the things that we have shared.
I wanna go back there now.
We always fight you don't talk to me, your heart is filled with jealosy.
Seems like you don't care.
I'd walk for you a distance of a million miles.
Just to spend five minutes with you in style.
Don't you leave me now.
I really want you to stay
Don't you leave me now.
There must be some other way.
If you leave me now everything we shared will disappear.
If you leave me now, leave me now.
I never thought that me and you would ever come to this.
I never thought that me and you would ever have to think like this.
I looked at you, you looked away.
You looked at me, I looked away.
We didn't want to have to hear us say:
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now
Don't leave me now!

Disappear
02:55

Sometimes, I really think I need to disappear for a while
And sometimes I really think I need to hear that same old song once again.
I need to escape, I need to break these chains
I need to break the chains that bind me to everyday
Help me out, let me see
The way it's supposed to be
For now just let me disappear - disappear
For now just let me disappear
I promise I'll come back to here.
Sometimes, I really think I need to clear my head and bring back a smile
And sometimes I really think I need to peer into the past once again
I need to escape, I need to break these chains
I need to break the chains that bind me to everyday
Help me out, let me see
The way it's supposed to be
For now just let me disappear - disappear
I promise I'll come back to here.

Switch
02:11

I wish you could be me for a day
I wish you could see the things I'm goin through
You and me we could switch places for a time
Then I could view the world through you
Whoa oh whoa oh oh
I wish I could be
Whoa oh whoa oh oh
Standing there in front of me.
I'd feel like a fly up on the wall
Watching all the little people carry on and on
I'd see who would take a smack at me
Then I'd know who the spiders are
Whoa oh whoa oh oh
I wish I could be
Whoa oh whoa oh oh
Standing there in front of me.
I wish that I could switch with you
For a day for a day or two, or three....or four?
I'd be like a secret agent man
Hearing all the little secrets I should never know
I would see who would take a whack at me
Then I'd know who my enemies are...
Whoa oh whoa oh oh
I wish I could be
Whoa oh whoa oh oh
Standing there in front of me.
In front of me.
In front of me.
In front of me.

Best Friends
02:57

You were the best friend in the best time of my life.
You were the best friend in the best time of my life.
Best Friend.
We used to be best friends.
We used to just hang around just you and me.
We almost died or so it seemed from our stupid kid things and our dreams.
And now I find myself just thinking of you.
Will you come back home?
Will you come back home to me?
You were the best friend in the best time of my life.
You were the best friend in the best time of my life.
Best Friend.
You went away and quit school.
I heard things really worked out for you.
You got yourself a good job.
You never have to come back to this dead end town.
And now I find myself just thinking of you.
Will you come back home?
Will you come back home to me?
So sometimes I wonder, (sometimes I)
Why you went your way and I went mine.
And sometimes I feel,(you and I)
Like maybe me and you weren't inseperable at all.
And now I find myself just thinking of you.
Will you come back home?
Will you come back home to me??
I guess we weren't the best of friends that I always thought we would be.
I guess we weren't really that close you and me.
I guess we werent meant to be. Meant to be.
Best Friend.
Best Friend.

You keep runnin your mouth about what you think punk rock is.
And you think at 15 you are an expert on what is real cool.
Well I got news for you, you really dont have a clue.
You can't learn about the "underground" from MTV news.
I dont think you'll ever understand.

Another Voice

You've gotta mind of your own you should use it.
You wanna be all alone you dont need me.
You're on your own.
An adventure your mind can't see straight
A real picture your heart just cant wait.
Make a choice.
There's a voice in your head
It talks only to you
Can you believe what it says?
The answer's inside you.
Theres a voice it whispers in your head
Your blood boils and your face turns red
Your on your own
We all do stupid shit from time to time
Thoughts arent the same in a lifetime.
Make a choice.
There's a voice in your head
It talks only to you
Can you believe what it says?
The answer's inside you.
Make a choice from deeper inside
Choose the one, you dont have to hide the feelings that stay.
You've gotta mind of your own you should use it.
You wanna be all alone you dont need me.
You're on your own.
There's a voice in your head
It talks only to you
Can you believe what it says?
The answer's inside you.
All the answers I can give were given to me
You dont need to listen to me.

Need To Know
02:10

Its been two weeks since I found you here with him
And now its time that I make a choice.
I think that I can forgive.
But how can I continue to give...
(I wanna know) I really need to know
(I wanna know) If you're gonna let me go
(I wanna know) I really need to know
(I wanna know) If you're gonna let me go
Should I forget the pain and let you come back in?
What am I gonna do? With you?
I think that you broke the deal
You need tell me how you feel
(I wanna know) I really need to know
(I wanna know) If you're gonna let me go
(I wanna know) I really need to know
(I wanna know) If you're gonna let me go
I think you need to look inside
And feel what we're talking about
I think that me and you we can make it work out
But all I really need is to know.
(I wanna know) I really need to know
(I wanna know) If you're gonna let me go
(I wanna know) I really need to know
(I wanna know) If you're gonna let me go

Lies
03:10
|

|
I must be pretty stupid or maybe just naive
endless thoughts and questions stab my brain until it bleeds
I don't know why that's how I feel, I just can't decide
Is this fake or is this real, my realities collide
(And she lied to me today)
She said she didn't know his name
(And they lied to me today)
But I didn't care what they had to say
(I get lied to every day)
A lie's a lie and that's the bottom line either way
I can't think very clearly with your lies out on the line
doubtful words and apologies are just a waste of time
But I can't comply with your alibis to hide behind the truth
I know what I gotta do, I gotta be a super sleuth
(And she lied to me today)
She said she didn't know his name
(And they lied to me today)
But I didn't care what they had to say
(I get lied to every day)
A lie's a lie and that's the bottom line either way
Do you know what you did to me?
This time we reached the end of the line.
We reached the end of the line.
(And she lied to me today)
She said she didn't know his name
(And they lied to me today)
But I didn't care what they had to say
(I get lied to every day)
A lie's a lie and that's the bottom line either way
I must be pretty stupid or maybe just naive
endless thoughts and questions stab my brain until it bleeds
I don't know why that's how I feel, I just can't decide
Is this fake or is this real, my realities collide
(And she lied to me today)
She said she didn't know his name
(And they lied to me today)
But I didn't care what they had to say
(I get lied to every day)
A lie's a lie and that's the bottom line either way

Feelings
02:26

You wake up on the wrong side of your head.
You got a chip on your heart blocking any outside feelings.
You got a way about you, I cant live without you.
That's just the way you are, I understand.
The look you give me makes me wish that I were dead.
I wonder what I did, and now you've got my whole head reeling.
You seem to see things your way, don't even think of my way.
That's just the way things are, I understand.
You just try to make me feel the way you do.
You're not happy unless you can make me feel just like you.
You just try to make me feel the way you do.
I'm not in your head so I don't know what I can give to you.
What can I give to you?
What was it now, what is it then, where have you been?
I see a light from outside, emotion clawing deep inside you.
You got a way about you, I can't live without you.
That's just the way you are, I understand.
You're lost again, you always know I'll be your end.
You hide the you that I know, putting up a wall before you.
You seem to see things your way, don't even think of my way.
That's just the way things are, I understand.
You just try to make me feel the way you do.
You're not happy unless you can make me feel just like you.
You just try to make me feel the way you do.
I'm not in your head so I dont know what I can give to you.
What do you want from me?
What do you want from me?

Let's Go

I'd like to take a ride, a ride with you.
We'll disappear for a day into the blue.
We'll get in the car, and we'll go wherever the day takes us to.
So Let's Go!
Let's Go!
I'd like to show you a sight like never before.
I'd like to take you to a place you can't ignore
We'll get in the car and we'll go wherever the day cannot go.
So let's go, lets ride, lets run away and hide.
Until we find, a way, to stay away forever.
So Let's Go!
So Let's Go!

The Unknown Cleveland, Ohio
The Unknown is a band from Cleveland, Ohio that has been playing its blend of punked out pop rock 'n roll since 1989. Why should you buy their CDs? Because they rock and they rock out hard. Think what would happen if ALL, Big Drill Car and all that is cool about 80s pop were thrown into a blender and then whipped to a fine sugary fix. Sugary sweet pop-punk to the Nth degree. Check it out. ... more
