 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Focus my eyes, I'll get in your mind,
Sleepy now I'll do no harm in any kind
Truth can ease it, what you can't deny,
Everyone is hiding something deep inside.
Try to be wide open,
I will promise, that you'll see
New relief will free your fantasy
One by one we'll make it
All your fears will come to me,
New relief will free your fantasy.
X-ray
You will lose the anguish in your life
X-ray
Happiness is all that stays inside
X-ray
No one knows the difference till he tries
X-ray
Everything depends on you alone,
I'll strip you to your bones.
Also happy, I'm a gentle guy
I will keep it all and no one will look behind.
Useful somehow, in a different way
As I took it, I might give it back some day.
That's no strange behavior,
There's a coercion in my being
Your relief rakes my insanity.
Hyde is Jekyll's pleasure,
There's the coercion in my being
Your relief rakes my insanity.
