I want to thank Jesus Christ for giving
me the strength & tenacity to make it through the past decade of my
life. You gave me the gift of music & events in my life to make this
album possible. Though it has been a difficult journey, my songs
wouldn't speak the truth without it. Mom & Dad, you always believed
in me over the years and I am blessed to have you as my parents. It
has been a fight to get this project finished, but if you are
reading this, know that we did it! With God's help and through a lot
of blood, sweat, tears, sleepless nights, joy, pain, devastation,
boxes of pizza, pressure, stress, anger, lots of Chinese takeout,
broken hearts, migraines, accomplishments, failures, rejection,
pasta, forgiveness, strength, cups of coffee, courage, miracles,
belief, wonder, amazement, tenacity, hope & faith, made my dream
come to life… Thank you

I DON’T BELONG HERE (JOE VITALE JR.) I’m just a stranger lost in the city Passin’ by all the towers of glass I’m goin’ out on the town I’m gettin’ reckless and wild I’m gonna blow all my money Like the prodigal child I don’t belong here Among this crowd I don’t belong here I just gotta get out I’m just a number lost in the system Fadin’ away like all of my dreams I’m fallin’ down in the dirt I’m screamin’ up at the sky Is this all that I’m worth For the rest of my life I don’t belong here Among this crowd I don’t belong here I just gotta get out I don’t belong here Among this crowd I don’t belong here I just gotta get out Where am I goin’ And what have I come to I’m just a traveler no destination And I’m searchin’ for someone That I used to know It’s like a dead end street There ain’t no place to go I heard the voice in my soul And it’s callin’ me home I don’t belong here Among this crowd I don’t belong here I just gotta get out I don’t belong here Among this crowd I don’t belong here I just gotta get out Get me outta this place I don’t belong here ---------------------------------------------- Joe Vitale Jr. : Vocals, Guitars Joe Vitale : Drums, Vocals, Synth David Santos : Bass BREAK! (JOE VITALE JR.) Fire falls from the sky Rainin’ down on my life Try to run try to hide Surrounded by cyanide Trouble’s comin’ for a feast With glowin’ eyes like the beast You never tried to conform When lightning strikes From the storm You can’t make me break apart You can’t break me down I won’t let you take my heart And crash it to the ground Schizophrenic holiday The one you love turns to hate Your heart cries in the night Your tears flow streamin’ white When will this end daily grind When will I find peace of mind You always scream out with strife And what about my shattered life You can’t make me break apart You can’t break me down I won’t let you take my heart And crash it to the ground The night is calm in disguise The air is still paralyzed A call was made that you feared Your hopes and dreams Burned and seared But now I stand in the light I’ll never stop only fight When all was lost made a vow My time has come here and now You can’t make me break apart You can’t break me down I won’t let you take my heart And crash it to the ground You can’t make me break apart You can’t break me down I won’t let you take my heart And crash it to the ground ---------------------------------------------- Joe Vitale Jr. : Vocals, Guitars, Synth, Percussion Joe Vitale : Drums, Vocals, Synth Susie Vitale : Backup Vocals David Santos : Bass Jason Rivera : Backup Vocals Chery Rivera : Backup Vocals DANCING WITH SHADOWS (JOE VITALE JR.) It’s Friday night As the darkness falls The lights turn up And repaint the walls There’s more about me Than meets the eye Distorted figures that falsify Shadows... Dancing with shadows On all the walls and throughout the halls You don’t perceive what’s inside of me You only know what your eyes can see Dancing with shadows Before you know me Your judgement’s made But all you see is this overlay Some take a chance And break the ice While sizin’ up the merchandise Shadows... Dancing with shadows On all the walls and throughout the halls You don’t perceive what’s inside of me You only know what your eyes can see Dancing with shadows We all just see what we wanna see Make them conform to our fantasies We all put up this barricade We’re all a part of this masquerade Dancing with shadows On all the walls and throughout the halls You don’t perceive what’s inside of me You only know what your eyes can see Dancing with shadows Dancing with shadows On all the walls and throughout the halls You don’t perceive what’s inside of me You only know what your eyes can see Dancing with shadows ---------------------------------------------- Joe Vitale Jr. : Vocals, Guitars, Synth Joe Vitale : Drums, Vocals, Synth David Santos : Bass BEAUTIFUL GIRL (JOE VITALE JR.) I went out on the town the other night Just to have a good time I walked into the unexpected Just to see what I’d find And there she was Just sittin’ in the corner playin’ with her ice I took a chance and left pretension I took a roll of the dice I want this beautiful girl In this beautiful world She’s like a beautiful pearl She’s such a beautiful girl She looked on over in my direction She seemed to read my mind I only wonder what’s going to happen When the clock strikes nine I feel the heat comin’ off her body I see the look in her eyes I wanna drown deep in her beauty I wanna touch the sky I want this beautiful girl In this beautiful world She’s like a beautiful pearl She’s such a beautiful girl There you are, here I am There you are, here I am We seemed to talk For endless hours We seemed to pass the time I walked her home to her apartment I heard the midnight chime She turned to me and motioned forward She whispered in my ear She said goodnight I’ll see ya later And then she disappeared I want this beautiful girl In this beautiful world She’s like a beautiful pearl She’s such a beautiful girl ---------------------------------------------- Joe Vitale Jr. : Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Drums, Percussion Joe Vitale : Vocals, Synth, Organ I ONLY NEED YOU (JOE VITALE JR.) I don’t need my shirt on my back I don’t need my coat I don’t even need my shoes I only need you I find that life’s full of treasures Some are big and small Yet I don’t need a single penny no nothin’ at all The greatest gifts are those that we can’t see A soft heart and a love-filled mind We spend our whole lives always searchin’ For someone so kind I don’t need my shirt on my back I don’t need my coat I don’t even need my shoes I only need you I can hear your whispers in the nighttime I can feel the warmth from your breath I can see the fire in your eyes I can taste the wine on your lips A faint dawn peers through the windows A sweet song speaks from the beams I turn fast fell back and swallowed It was only a dream... I never wanna wake up I never wanna lose this dream I never wanna get up And face another day it seems I don’t need my shirt on my back I don’t need my coat I don’t even need my shoes I only need you I don’t need my shirt on my back I don’t need my coat I don’t even need my shoes I only need you ---------------------------------------------- Joe Vitale Jr. : Vocals, Guitars, Percussion Joe Vitale : Drums, Vocals, Synth, Percussion Tom Bukovac : Lead Guitar SHE INTOXICATES (JOE VITALE JR.) It’s like you walked on the clouds Fallen outta the sky Landed right in my path Takin’ over my life She intoxicates, she intoxicates Actin’ just like a drug Gettin’ caught in the snare Infiltratin’ my mind Man I ain’t got a prayer She intoxicates, she intoxicates I know what I want I know what I need But I don’t know What she’s doin’ to me Is it love, is it fate When she intoxicates A million hearts she will break When she intoxicates Everything starts to blur As the world fades away Like a zombie in love Nothin’ gets in my way She intoxicates, she intoxicates If she were the law I’d be under arrest She’d be writing me up With failed sobriety tests She intoxicates, she intoxicates I know what I want I know what I need But I don’t know What she’s doin’ to me Is it love, is it fate When she intoxicates A million hearts she will break When she intoxicates In-tox-i-cates In-tox-i-cates She In-tox-i-cates She In-tox-i-cates I know what I want I know what I need But I don’t know What she’s doin’ to me Is it love, is it fate When she intoxicates A million hearts she will break When she intoxicates ---------------------------------------------- Joe Vitale Jr. : Vocals, Guitars, Bass, Drums, Synth, Joe Vitale : Vocals, Synth IT’S NOT ME, IT’S YOU (JOE VITALE JR.) I got a call this mornin’ My friend was so depressed His girl was drivin’ him crazy By hittin’ on all of his friends She likes to dance for the guys Body shots with older men I think it’s safe to say now You gotta tell that girl this is the end Go on and tell her! It’s not me, it’s you And all the things you do We’re done, we’re through I think it’s time you knew She likes to show off her body Saw her strippin’ at Mardi Gras She’s gettin’ down on that wild girl show Over 40 million copies by now My buddy called that evenin’ Said she’s headin’ out again Stockings and bright red lipstick Guess I’m gonna have to holler at him Go on and tell her! It’s not me, it’s you And all the things you do We’re done, we’re through I think it’s time you knew What you gonna say And what we gonna do Say it again, what you gonna say I think it’s time you knew...

MYSTERIOUS (JOE VITALE JR.) From the time that we’re born We’re taught we must conform On a path with no set rules We strive to achieve All our wants and basic needs But this game we play is out of control We try to find the time to climb We never know where it goes how it flows You’ve got your plans Life’s demands in your hands But ya never know what lies ahead It’s so mysterious ...So strange It’s so mysterious Mysterious Time is tickin’ late at night All those questions bout your life But those answers never seem to come Who am I where are you Can I stand to make it through The unknown can tear you apart We try to find the time to climb We never know where it goes how it flows You’ve got your plans Life’s demands in your hands But ya never know what lies ahead It’s so mysterious ...So strange It’s so mysterious Mysterious So I pray I’ll find the way To get through another day I need some help to stay on course Though I’ve tried it on my own I’ve got my eyes on You alone Please take me through This mystery of life It’s so mysterious ...So strange It’s so mysterious Mysterious It’s so mysterious ...So strange It’s so mysterious Mysterious ---------------------------------------------- Joe Vitale Jr. : Vocals, Guitars, Bass , Synth, Percussion Joe Vitale : Drums, Vocals, Synth NEVER LOOK BACK (JOE VITALE JR.) Someone tried to tell me that this life just Wouldn’t amount to much Heard them sing that song everyday I think they got a little outta touch Life drew a line in the sand Crossed the seal & took my stand Then saw my world reduced to fire Pressed on through the ashes and mire Try to find the way I got to get back on the track Every night’s the same But I never did look back I remember the times I found a way to break those chains Can you tell me where I went wrong But I never did look back This side of a breakdown I can’t stop and I have to see this through So I put my staff to the ground I gotta put all my trust in You Passing through this valley of death When all is gone & nothing’s left Starrin’ through the blackest of nights You gave me strength to put up a fight Try to find the way I got to get back on the track Every night’s the same But I never did look back I remember the times I found a way to break those chains Can you tell me where I went wrong But I never did look back I won’t turn into dust Corrode, dissolve, and rust I spent 10 years in hell Locked in this fragile cell Try to find the way I got to get back on the track Every night’s the same But I never did look back I remember the times I found a way to break those chains Can you tell me where I went wrong But I never did look back But I never did look back But I never did look back But I never did look back And I never will look back ---------------------------------------------- Joe Vitale Jr. : Vocals, Guitars, Synth, Percussion Joe Vitale : Drums, Piano David Santos : Bass BY THE SHORELINE (JOE VITALE JR.) We lay beneath the starlight Down by the waves at midnight I feel your body in rhythm with mine Alone down by the shoreline And all we hear are the waves Crashin’ into the cape And all I see is the sky Fadin’ into your eyes By the shoreline... We made love By the shoreline... We made love Your eyes are filled with desire And I, I’m lost in the fire Just close your eyes and hold me tight You are the one and this is our night And all we hear are the waves Crashin’ into the cape And all I see is the sky Fadin’ into your eyes By the shoreline... We made love By the shoreline... We made love Fadin’ away into the night Lay down in the waves by my side Stay with me tonight And all we hear are the waves Crashin’ into the cape And all I see is the sky Fadin’ into your eyes By the shoreline... We made love By the shoreline... We made love By the shoreline... We made love By the shoreline... We made love By the shoreline... ---------------------------------------------- Joe Vitale Jr. : Vocals, Guitars, FX, Percussion Joe Vitale : Drums, Bass INFECTIOUS (JOE VITALE JR.) There’s somethin’ in the air around me It can’t be filtered out the sweat is streamin’ and my fever’s high My prognosis leaves no doubt My heart is poundin’ my visions blurred Immunity starts to fail My head is spinning I’m losin’ my contrast I grab my chest and inhale Your love is highly infectious You’re getting under my skin Your touch is clearly contagious My fever’s risin’ again I think you know the diagnosis The nature of this disease Initial contact can break you down Sometimes it comes in degrees It’s takin’ over and nothin’ can stop it This virus spreadin’ through me Containment failure a toxic exposure It’s now a full blown disease Your love is highly infectious You’re getting under my skin Your touch is clearly contagious My fever’s risin’ again TALK!!

Sometimes I just wanna fade away Into your darkened eyes That’s when time escapes And my world’s erased And my pulse is on the rise It’s like high electric voltage Running through my veins Like a Molotov cocktail in my brain You’re like liquid speed my adrenaline fires See what your doin’ to me You make me feel alive You make me feel alive You make me feel alive You make me feel alive I don’t know what you’re doing to me But I like it give me more I’m all fired up and I can’t get enough I’ve got an overload in my core And now I’m seein’ everything at the speed of light Don’t wanna resist just don’t wanna fight I can feel the power deep inside See what you’re doin’ to me Yeah!

You make me feel alive You make me feel alive You make me feel alive You make me feel alive You’ve got just what I need I want what I can see Break down my inhibitions Knocked out the competition I feel it in my bones Lost in the twilight zone Caught on the other side My brain’s on overdrive You make me feel alive You make me feel alive You make me feel alive You make me feel alive You make me feel alive You make me feel alive You make me feel alive You make me feel alive I feel alive!
