BEAUTIFUL TOMORROW (aka "RISING SUN")
lyrics by J. Ferone and CC/SF
copyright ©2005 beauty's confusion / bitstream dream. all rights reserved.

riding high upon the waves
the current pulls me down
if i should rise above the surface
i wonder if i would be found


please don't pull your hand away
it's nearly time we called off this chase
please don't ask, there's nothing to say
close your eyes, seal our fate


one dream ends
another begins
full of love, full of sorrow...
the chase is won
rising sun
a beautiful tomorrow

closing in on an object down below
the current keeps me deep
inhaling would bring my demise
drift to you, while i sleep

please don't pull your hand away
it's nearly time we called off this chase
please don't ask, there's nothing to say
close your eyes, seal our fate

one dream ends
another begins
full of love, full of sorrow...
the chase is won
rising sun
a beautiful tomorrow

 

 

BLUE DELUGE
lyrics by J. Ferone
copyright ©2002 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

it was a chilly day in march
when he let me down
just when I thought I knew
the difference of boy and man

he said his world never sleeps
from his cyclonic mind
gone was a girl lured into his path
in the dress of a different size

with your pride alone you sailed away
and never heard me say
my heart is safe from where i'm standing
far away from you
and if i get too close then i'll be
drowning in blue

his eyes to me had red
a note of apology
he said 'i can't do this commitmentship
my soul is running on empty'

with your pride alone you sailed away
and never heard me say
my heart is safe from where i'm standing
far away from you
and if i get too close then i'll be
drowning in blue

 

 

BURNING WORLD
lyrics by CC/SF
copyright ©2006 sega of america / beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.
featured in the Sega Xbox 360 game FULL AUTO
.

dedicated to and written about Taylor Behl,
a hopeless romantic and beautiful girl who was murdered by someone she met on myspace in Virginia, in 2005.


let me into your burning world
i'm in need of escape
lost direction years ago
when you left, fractured state

bury me in obsession
it's the only thing you know
follow you to the end right now
i hear them cry, "don't go..."

helplessly removed from your reality
i need a quick fix
or a slow kiss
reluctantly removed from life
i didn't want this
didn't deserve this.

 

 

CITY
lyrics by CC/SF
copyright ©2003 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

memories are fading
you were once mine, never unkind
a long sigh, a soft caress
now a slience, an emptiness
i'm alone
staring through the past i knew
i miss you

streets are empty
space surrounding
sighs, soft lullabies
blurred reflection
a passing perfection
scarring deep inside
need a place to hide from the rain

the cold breeze brings you back to me
i smell you in the air
i'm broken beyond repair
patience in short supply
i can't replace you
i wouldn't want to try
i'm alone
and maybe it's what should be
do you miss me?
isolation will repeat
i feel so incomplete

streets are empty
space surrounding
sighs, soft lullabies
blurred reflection
a passing perfection
scarring deep inside
need a place to hide

streets are empty
filled with millions
cold, with empty souls
searching everywhere
nothing's ever there
the night inside me grows
i disappear below

 

 

CONTROL
lyrics by CC/SF and J. Ferone
copyright ©2004 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

i'm waiting for you to be honest
i'm waiting for your explanation
seems like i'm waiting forever
cause all you have fed me are lies
i don't understand people like you
i don't understand your objective
seems like you live to destroy me
sadistic hypocrisy

you put me through hell and i let you
before i learned how to speak
drove me mad with desire
took advantage cause i was too weak
now the confusion has left me
you're insane if you think i'll give in
solitude always kept me safe
with the walls i build within

all the years, been searching for something
to open my eyes
all the tears, been raining down
the answer is inside the lie

 

 

FADED
lyrics by J. Ferone
copyright ©2002 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

i'm waiting for you under blue christmas lights
trimmed the wick and lit the candle, scent you've always liked
seems like i watch the clock each hour
only two minutes pass
and when you finally make it, i know
our time won't last

so i wait, wait for the next time

i've been thinking so much about our last conversation
even though i sounded mad, you've always brought me elation
i never meant to stale the air to cloud our communication
something about the tone of your voice
left my heart an abrasion

so i wait for you
so i'll wait forever

enslaved me, and trapped me in this lethal cell
enslaved me, i can't breathe
the lies that you tell

whatever hope was left has faded now
by your cruel intentions
now the candle's gone and i'm still here

enslaved me, and trapped me in this lethal cell
enslaved me, i can't breathe
the lies that you tell

 

 

FALLING
lyrics by J. Ferone
copyright ©2004 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

sometimes i feel like poetic words are just a waste of lines
they're never sung for me
sometimes i feel like poetic words are made to hide behind
this dim reality

i feel
like the world is against me
every time i look to the sky i feel so lost
and i don't know
where i'm meant to go
can't someone give me a clue
show me the road that leads to you oh

sometimes i feel like poetic words are just a waste of lines
they're never sung for me
sometimes i feel like poetic words are made to hide behind
this dim reality

and i don't know
where i'm meant to go
won't someone give me a clue
show me the road that leads to you

sometimes i feel like poetic words are just a waste of lines
they're never sung for me
sometimes i feel like poetic words are made to hide behind
this dim reality

 

 

HIDE
lyrics by J. Ferone, J. Legros, and CC/SF
copyright ©2003 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

there were times that i remember
when we'd talk about forever
and it all seemed so clear
paying rent was my only fear
while staying here

these days memories start to fade and
few are made to replaced
it's only when you're here
they all seem to disappear

you're lying beside me
stop fighting
this won't last, i won't have this ending
defend me

i try to chase a new beginning
only to catch another fight
if only i could explain
find the word right words
so you'd stay

you're lying beside me
stop fighting
this won't last, i won't have this ending
defend me

 

 

INNOCENCE DESTRUCTING
lyrics and vocal melodies written by edie marshall
copyright ©2001 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

how do i have faith
when i believe they will turn me down
i try, i try to trust you
but you never follow through
before i turn myself away for you
before i turn myself away for you

i am not this isolated
i am not this shy or strange or jaded

i am innocence destructing
turn on you to force the change
turn myself into the victim of my own creation
i am disconnection central
lost the party on my line
too much longing in this distance
for a new form of communication

how do i have faith
when i believe they will turn me down
i try, i try to trust you
but you never follow through
before i turn myself away for you
before i turn myself away for you

i am not this self-defeating
it's just a phrase i keep repeating

i am innocence destructing
turn on you to force the change
turn myself into the victim of my own creation
i am disconnection central
lost the party on my line
too much longing in this distance
for a new form of communication

 

 

LETTER
lyrics by CC/SF
copyright ©2004 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

touch me as if you meant it
i burned the letter that you sent
your presence only amplifies
the hatred i've been feeling

betray me cause it's all you know
layers of trust erode when lies are told
it's so difficult to decide
when to get away

i'm leaving
so save your lies for the next letter
i'm gone
and i've never felt better

i'm leaving
so save your lies for your next letter
i'm gone
and i've never felt better

 

 

MICROFILM
lyrics by CC/SF
copyright ©2004 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

desire traps you in my head
i can feel you next to me in bed
thoughts of you fill my dreams at night
losing focus, you're objectified
i apologize if my passion scares
i can feel you when you're not even there
together in my imagination
never think of seperation

buried beneath the exterior
lies a broken little girl
but i don't care to show you
my twisted little world
collected photos in my bedroom hang above
always reminding me of unrequited love

padded cell
softly sleeping
nightmare life
soothing dreaming

 

 

MOMENTS LIKE THESE
lyrics by J. Ferone and CC/SF
copyright ©2004 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

i swim with the sharks
playing in salt water
it's cold and always dark
i am all alone
to live life on terms to call my own

one day i went too far
swam in shark-finned waters
in their net i was caught
they stared at me so cold
their lives without meaning
their minds never grow

you'd say i ran away
while you stayed to play
with facades in shallow graves
this is not my scene
it's your thing
to be the life of every moment
while i live inside my dreams

moments like these
revealing the true me
moments like these
seeing so clearly

i hide with the ghost
playing in the darkness
it's what i love the most
i am all alone
enjoying the silence
enjoying my home

moments like these
revealing the true me
moments like these
a side you will never see

 

A SCENE THAT DOESN'T CHANGE
lyrics by J. Ferone
copyright ©2002 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

i have never seen the desert rise
burns the rain escaping thundery skies
those have seen the truth question why
live for answers til the day they die

you always try to change
the things you can't explain
jog the movie frame by frame
for a scene that doesn't change

resist my unconscious thoughts when taking their formation
i know
and even if my words consist of sweet infatuation
i know
you'll go

i have never seen the oceans dry
yearn for rain escaping flooded skies
those have seen the truth end in lies
live forever, never satisfied

you always try to change
the things you can't explain
jog the movie frame by frame
for a scene that doesn't change

resist my unconscious thoughts when taking their formation
i know
and even if my words consist of sweet infatuation
i know
you'll go

 

 

SILHOUETTE
lyrics by CC/SF and J. Ferone
copyright ©2003 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

covering, cowering in the corner of this room
unnerved, reserved, deserving this solitude
wasting, tasting rejection once again
trying to stop crying
i knew it would end

i don't want to try anymore to be noticed
if it all ends the same way, why even bother trying
you're the last one who will hurt me, i won't forget
i'll disappear into the background
i'll become a silhouette

giving up and giving in
is there any other way
losing hope, losing you
i'll lose it all someday

maybe this is not so bad, being alone
staring at the walls for hours
disconnect the telephone
but you don't cross my mind at all, i'm alright
inscribe these words into my head
every night... what a lie

giving up and giving in
is there any other way
losing hope, losing you
i'll lose it all someday

i can't explain it to you
my heart is open like a book
why won't you take a look
i feel like a fool
a shadow in the midst
which you won't even miss

i don't want to try anymore to be seen
i'm invisible anyway, i'm nobody's dream
you're the last one who will kiss me
i can't forget
i've disappeared into the distance
i've become a silhouette

i've disappeared

 

 

STAIN
lyrics by J. Ferone and CC/SF
copyright ©2003 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

crowd around the city streets
lonely passersby
broken sidewalk
faded chalk outline
falling, fell into the past
forever to be forgotten
flash, a memory
a stain is all that's left of me

somewhere, maybe someday
the movie in your mind will replay
you will want me
you will long for my kiss
what you'll get isn't this
you'll get a memory, only

cleanse the soul from tragedy
a vision so surreal
search your mind for an answer
never to be revealed
screaming, to reason with
a soul which bleeds rejection
flash, a memory
a stain is all that's left of me

somewhere, maybe someday
the movie in your mind will replay
you will want me
you will long for my kiss
what you'll get isn't this
you'll get a memory, only

as i leave you in disarray
forever in the hand of fate
the memory of me will never fade
the streets you love remind you of the pain

broken sidewalk
a stain is all that's left

 

 

WALLS
lyrics by CC/SF
copyright ©2004 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

turn off everything
turn out the light
turn off my thoughts for once
who needs this life
can't speak, can't hear
only the hurt is crystal clear
need you, don't hide
when you're near me all is fine

face in my hands again
these walls
my only friend
face in my hands again
for all time

silent room
the light is out
my thoughts are gusts of wind
i'm full of doubt
don't care, don't know
my only love who doesn't show
and this, is why
all i ever do these days is cry

where are you
why won't you call
since you've gone
i talk to the wall

face in my hands again
these walls
my only friend
face in my hands again
for all time

 

 

WHIRLWIND
lyrics by J. Ferone and CC/SF
copyright ©2004 beauty's confusion / bitstream dream. all rights reserved.

they're coming around, the words you've sent
no changing your mind, it's your only regret
to live is to face your darkest fears
running away is what keeps you here

it's because of your lies
i begin to find my way
only now, do i see in the distance
denial highway
when i'm away, you'll be lost
in a whirlwind hate
all the problems you create
can't you see
it's just dead weight

when i'm away

you've wasted away the time you've spent
judging with jealous eyes, you can't forget
you welcome the pain and live with fear
as dreams begin to blur, stagnance appears

it's because of your lies
i begin to find my way
only now, do i see in the distance
denial highway
when i'm away, you'll be lost
in a whirlwind hate
all the problems you create
can't you see
it's just dead weight

when i'm away

when i'm away, you'll be lost
in a whirlwind hate
all the problems you create
can't you see
it's just dead weight

 

 

WINDMILLS
lyrics and vocal melodies by edie marshall.
copyright ©2001 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

another time, forgetting memories
that dream my nights to day
shadow hands that trace in circles
feeling with no resolution
always half a turn away
from being right here, right now
keep spinning
and i'll stay out of control
spinning and spinning

impossible
i will only dream of you

missing i keep missing, i keep sleeping
i keep hating, i keep waiting
i keep needing without cause or reason
to be justified
something changes every time i turn to you
i turn away, i turn inside
i turn into an empty page
just waiting for the words
waiting for the worst
waiting and spinning

impossible
i will only dream of you

 

 

THE WRONG WAY
lyrics and vocal melodies by edie marshall
copyright ©2001 beauty's confusion. all rights reserved.

don't take this the wrong way
but you will never get
the satisfaction you desire
this is not a punishment
it's just a simple fact
when you try to find your happiness
in someone who can't give it back

you'll get burned
and after one time
most would just say lesson learned
but you keep holding on
and hope you'll break him down
but you're the one who's breaking now

don't be so naive
it was only a dream
how could you ever believe it was real
do you still believe in fairy tales, too
oh but don't take this the wrong way

i'm not trying to put you down
you've been doing that well on your own
living by the modern martyr's philosophy
if you can't get love, get sympathy yeah
honestly, do you really need
somebody to put you on your knees
you can take the fall
but you're afraid to walk again
or will you break if you bend

don't be so naive
it was only a dream
how could you ever believe it
don't be so naive
it was just make-believe
stop deceiving yourself
and grow up, grow up

i am not impossible
and you are not a dream
nothing can compare to
getting high on self-esteem
maybe i'll be your regret
but you will not be my mistake
you are just a lesson i refuse to learn
until i break
