Surrounded by synthetic smiles
Voices chatter, we listen too much
Tell us what to do and how to think
These decisions are made for us
We go along with it all
It’s easier that way
Trapped between love and hate
Lost in haze of our thoughts and blur of our gaze
Try to get out before it’s too late
Better life through chemistry
Than to deal with all the pain
Create your own reality
In your mind, you’re not restrained
Thoughts still roll inside your head
Push and pull with no control
They tear you apart and break your heart
Weigh heavy on your soul
False ideas appearing real
We can handle it on our own
No one’s there to help us carry the load
Feel abandoned and alone
Take twelve steps forward to fall back again
With all attempted tries
We change our lives, step by step
Before our spirit dies
Building walls to keep us safe
But ironically, they’re a cage
A false sense of our own security
Hiding pain and strife and rage
How do we trust the voice inside
To listen to facts not lies
Learn how to face our scars and our fears
So the truth is not disguised

We used to talk and touch and laugh
And feel love together every day
Then someone new came into your life
And our spotlight spun away
You turned away from me
I'm left in the dark with nothing but my thoughts
My heart shattered and dying, soul wailing and crying.
And the feeling I can’t go on.
Falling into darkness
Slipping away
Will anybody love me
Maybe someday
Falling into darkness
I can barely see the light
My strength is slowly waning
As I fade into the night
My life is grey and dark and sad
Function less and less every day
Food has no taste, music no sound
Life has no beauty, it’s gone away
This feeling of hurt, I just want it to end
Every day is playing out the same
I have no sense of being, no purpose, no meaning,
And the feeling I can’t go on.
I can’t go on this way. I can’t go on. How can I go on?
I lived my life for you alone
And now you’re not here anymore
No one to kiss, no one to hold
I’m all alone, can I endure?
It feels like the end of me is near
Would it all happen quick or slow?
My hope is sinking, mind spinning and thinking
And the feeling I can’t go on.

Probe 7 - Strange Angels
04:48
|
|||
|
You’re a lonely soul in a crowded world
Haunted by memories of the past
A public face hiding private pain
How long can this façade last?
You kept yourself in silence
As you live your daily life
Not believing it will all work out
Your suffering cuts just like a knife
There are strange angels who come into your life
There are strange angels who won’t give up the fight
There are strange angels who you would not expect
There are strange angels who are here to protect
They may not be what you want
But might be what comes through
Keep your eyes and your heart open
For strange angels to come to you
You try to put it behind you
And to move on from that place
Struggling down this uncomfortable path
Praying something will fall into place
You try to build up the strength to fight
Run from demons, chasing a dream
Although it feels impossible
It’s not as hard as it seems
The journey continues to unfold
As you travel this life you create
There are ups and downs with highs and lows
Don’t fear strange twists of fate
A caring hand pulls you back
And helps you find your way
Reaching into your darkness to bring out your light
Live to fight another day

Probe 7 - No Words
04:46
|

|
My heartbeat rises and I don’t know why
I feel like we’ve met before
I see you for the first of a thousand times
As you walked in through the door
I’m nervous to approach you, but I can’t wait
Because time is short and life unsure
Can’t miss my chance to connect with you
And I know that I want more
With all the things that we could say
To express the ways we feel
Words would just get in the way
The emotions are what’s real
It’s hard for us not to fall so fast
With desire and heat in the air
An intoxicating energy (surrounds us)
Nothing matters except what we share
I walk up to you from across the room
Thoughts race inside my mind
Put my hand on your chest as I tell you my name
Other words are hard to find
You lean in close and don’t say a thing
Our energies start to combine
You look deep in my eyes and I do the same
We both know the stars have aligned
If you knew what went on inside my head
Emotions spin out of control
Want your hands all over my body
And your spirit embracing my soul
I didn’t want to wait too long to find
Warmth out in the cold
And at least for tonight it could be so right
To make each other feel whole

Counting tears as I fall asleep
A pillow replaces you
Counting years as they slip away
Unsure of what to do
I realize now that love is blind
And life is not always fair
We act as expected in our daily lives
But neither of us are there
Always looked in each other’s eyes
And hoped the passion would grow
As life goes on, the desire fades
And the motions go on for show
Act like you love me, tell me you care
Given it my all, nothing left to spare
The perfect relationship that never was
Been a beautiful waste of time
An investment in you that failed to produce
Now I’m stuck with a bankrupt heart
Forced to sell the dreams, the dreams that were built
Now everything’s falling apart
Left alone with memories of us in my mind
And the wonderful plans we made
A future of so much promise we had
Now I sit here alone and afraid
Saying the words can make it real
Is this how our love will end?
Asking the questions and fearing the truth
It’s a matter of how, not when
A peaceful end to a stressful fight
Time to go our separate ways
How do you pack up an entire life
After years and months and days?

Ominous skies, clouds swirl around
Dark and grey as the rain pours down
Running for shelter
Can it be found?
In an iron cage or on hallowed ground
In your blood, building strength
By taking in the air you breathe
Surging through
I’m alive inside of you
The will to survive is here
In your blood
Dreams destroyed in your past
The path ahead defined at last
As the nightmares fade
The meaning, clear
Moments defined, but not by fear
Hands, heart, and soul
Together fused
A life unbound, but not confused
Through clear eyes control regained
A love today unrestrained

Took a chance on trusting you
Our bond made me feel alive
Looked into my eyes
You couldn’t wait
Told me you loved me
And this was fate
Been wanting a soulmate forever
Began this journey together
Sailed the seas, explored this world
Then you pushed me off
Pushed me off to drown
Losing vision now, losing strength now
I take my last breath as I sink down
The waves that flow throw me around
As undertow pulls me down
The tides get stronger as it rains
The shore gets further and further away
Losing vision now, losing strength now
I take my last breath as I sink down
Looked into my eyes, you couldn’t wait
Told me you loved me and this was fate

I see you standing there at the bar
The space between us seems way too far
I catch your eye and you start to smile
You’re what I dreamt of for the longest while
I walk up to you and touch your face
Your turn away shy as I grab your waist
I brush your ear with my lips and ask you to dance
With lust in our eyes we start a romance
We move out to the dance floor
Touch, stroke, kiss - give me more
Skin on skin I slide in to a grinding rhythm
Sweat on sweat we explore
Both crave to give and take more
Grind, lick, suck – it’s time for
Sex on the dance floor
Shirts come off, pants loose on our hips
I take your nipple between my lips
Come up to your mouth and taste your desire
The heat between us burns like fire
My hands explore every exposed inch of you
We both know what want to do
You moan and pull me close to your chest
Both slick with desire, the climax is best

Probe 7 - Getting Closer
04:28

I want it hard, I like it rough
Turn me on and I’ll tear you up
Call me Sir, submit to my will
I know what you want so come and get your fill
Don’t want to fuck you like I know you
I want to fuck you like I own you
No apologies and no regret
Taboo fantasy is what you get
Ask for mercy, beg for more
Face down, ass up, take it in and push it out
You’re filthy to the core
We’re getting closer to the final show
On the edge, pounding deep, hit the spot, make you weak
I’m ready to blow
You walk in tough and drop to your knees
You’re bound by fear and ecstasy
I’m in charge and you like it that way
Exchange of power is our foreplay
Do as I say, no need to know why
Don’t ask questions or expect a reply
Prove to me you’re ready to serve
In the end you’ll get what you deserve
Pervert - Disrupt - Contort – Corrupt
You make me rise as you go down
Your body becomes my playground
I open you up and you show me your soul
My finger on your pulse, I’m in control
Desire overwhelms and intensifies
I’ve taken your flesh and probed your mind
Pushed you to your limits and brought you back again
We are linked by lust and bound by sin

Probe 7 - One Last Dance

Gotta get my guys together and gonna go out
Time for some fun and dancing about
We’ll flirt and kiss and laugh all night
Gonna keep it all happy, gonna keep the night light
The shirts will come off as the DJ spins his set
We dance, and grind, and grope, and sweat
It’s a party, you're invited, so come on and dance tonight
It’s a party, you're invited, we'll go till the morning light
Lights, sound, bass, rhythm
Lights, sound, bass, rhythm
The lights shine in your eyes
The sounds echo in your ears
Feel the bass in your chest
And it takes away your fears
Lights, sound, bass, rhythm
Lights, sound, bass, rhythm
The rhythm keeps you moving
And your mind transcends
One last dance
Before the party ends
The song turns me on as rhythm makes me grind
It toys and plays and expands my mind
Stuck in the strobe light, trapped under the beat
Everything intensifies, feel my body heat
You press back against me and I grind you from behind
We wrap around each other, all of us entwined
It’s a party, you're invited, so come on and dance tonight
It’s a party, you're invited, we'll go till the morning light
The heat from the crowd washes over us
As the smell of sweat intoxicates
And we make our way to the dance floor
Our bodies fall into the rhythm fueled by our desires
We don’t want these feelings to end so we push past the limits
Because we live to dance tonight
Our heartbeats throb to the beat of the bass
All of us sharing the same head space
Losing track of time as the stars fly by
Our thirst and desires and sensations amplify
They yell last call as the night fades away
But we want to keep going until the break of day
It’s a party, you're invited, so come on and dance tonight
It’s a party, you're invited, we'll go till the morning light

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
She's running out again
She's running out
She run run run run
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
