FAR AWAY LYRICS BY NICKELBACK

This time, This place
Misused, Mistakes
Too long, Too late
Who was I to make you wait
Just one chance
Just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

CHORUS
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore

On my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you, I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
'Cause you know,
you know, you know

CHORUS
So far away
Been far away for far too long
So far away
Been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know

I wanted
I wanted you to stay
'Cause I needed
I need to hear you say
That I love you
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you
For being away for far too long
So keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
'Cause I'm not leaving you anymore
Believe it
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go
Keep breathing
Hold on to me and, never let me go

Trapt

"But now I have learned to trust myself/And I don�t need anyone else/Out of room/Out of places to hide/Backed up in the corner/I know I will stay alive." - "Stay Alive"

After a decade together, which included their 2002 self-titled platinum debut and 2005's gold Someone in Control, Trapt found themselves at a crossroads.

Formed in 1997 in Los Gatos, CA by vocalist/lyricist/guitarist Chris Brown, guitarist Simon Ormandy and bassist Peter Charell, later adding Aaron Montgomery on drums, the band decided to leave their label, Warner Bros., and take things into their own hands. TRAPT LIVE!, their debut for Eleven Seven Music, was recorded during their 2005 tour, featuring two studio tracks in "Stay Alive" and 'Everything to Lose" and in-concert versions of their biggest Rock hits, including "Headstrong," "Still Frame" and 'Echo" from Trapt and "Stand Up," "Waiting" and "Disconnected (Out of Touch)," from Someone in Control.

TRAPT LIVE! is just a place-holder for the band's third studio album, which they have just finished recording at The Warehouse in Vancouver, Canada, with Trapt co-producer GGGarth Richardson, but the two new songs give a hint as to future directions.

"We haven't really had anything out for a while and wanted to give the fans something new and indicative of what we're trying to do," says guitarist and founding member Ormandy. ""Everything to Lose" is probably the heaviest thing we've ever done. These two new songs are pretty unique sounding for us."

"Lyrically, the first album was about getting to a certain point in my life, figuring out who I am," explains lead singer/songwriter Brown. "For the second album, I was in a relationship that wasn't very positive, so it was a lot darker and heavier. These days, I find myself in more of a happier place. The new album feels like a fresh start for us, new label, more freedom to do what we want. It's just the four of us now. No one around us yapping to do this or do that."

Indeed, "Stay Alive" is a direct reaction to the band deciding to leave their major label home and take destiny into their own hands. The band enlisted a claymation director they found on the web to create the video "Stay Alive," which is now available on the band's website and at YouTube.

"It was just time for some new blood," says Brown about the move. "It wasn't the same place anymore. The vibe wasn't there. We didn't want to make a record for a label that wasn't passionate about it."

"Being with a major, they had an agenda for us, and over the past year, we had to rely more on ourselves," says bassist Charell. "At the end of the day, all you have is your own instincts. We never really had a break to take the time to see where we were going. "Stay Alive" is about not
sitting around on your ass watching TV, but picking yourself back up, getting back out there and doing what you do."

"I'd just as soon get rid of all the bureaucracy and bullshit. This is a way for us to become who we are as a band rather than what someone else thinks we should be. No matter what happens to you, nobody can take away your guitar, bass, drums or voice. As long as we have that, we will always make music, and it doesn't matter who puts the record out or who's funding it."
That attitude has been prevalent in Trapt since their very first rock hit, "Headstrong," a #1 hit at Modern and Mainstream Rock which climbed into the Top 5 on the pop chart. Included on TRAPT LIVE!, it is a perfect example of the band's musical method�building tension in rhythmic verses with a sometimes Police-like world beat and resolving it with a Nirvana-esque heavy, throbbing chorus.

In support of their next studio album, the band intends to spend more time touring internationally. "This live album is about hearing Trapt do what we love doing, which is playing live," says Brown. "It's a way to express the songs in a different way than they were recorded in the studio, letting people glimpse what our world is like, or reminding them of a show of ours they'd been to before."

Touring relentlessly since 2002, the band has built a loyal following of fans that give an added energy to their live show. Songs like "Echo" show the devotion the Trapt audience has, capturing them singing along to lyrics like "Some things you can�t erase/No matter how hard you try," which may as well apply to the band itself, as it takes one more look back before moving ahead.

"That's what songwriting is all about, connecting with those fans," agrees Brown. "Hearing them sing back to you those same words you've put your heart and soul in with that kind of intensity is a beautiful thing. It's a connection few bands get to achieve. That�s something we want to build on."

"Stand Up," the first single from Someone In Control, which debuted in the Top 15 on the album charts in its first week of release, is yet another song in which the band talks of self-empowerment, both for themselves and their fans, while "Skin Deep," from the same album, shows inspired Middle-Eastern flavored verses from guitarist Simon Ormandy.

"We have been strengthened by going through this," insists the singer/songwriter." We're making great music and we're in a head space that�s very positive. If you stay open to outside influences, if you don't close yourself off, musical ideas, lyrics and guitar parts will find their way to you."

"The more we recorded these new songs, the better and better they began to feel," says Ormandy. �]"It was great that no one was looking over our shoulder, telling us what to do."

TRAPT LIVE! shows a band at the peak of their powers, ready to tackle the next part of their career. Brown credits the rise of the Internet and the digital age with "taking over how records are being sold and listened to." The band hopes to use those tools to get Trapt music out to as many people as possible. To that end, they are offering fans a chance to sell "Stay Alive," the first single from their album, on their websites, and keep some of the income.
From the sound of TRAPT LIVE!, the only necessity for Trapt is making music. And they're not about to stop now.

"I've learned what it takes to start and maintain successful relationships," concludes Brown. "It's about being honest with yourself. Only experiencing pain and hurt can you realize what�s important in life. The hard way is usually the best way to find things out. You have to choose not to close yourself off. The last couple of years have been a reality check for us. We've all done a lot of growing up."

"We want to continue to change and evolve as a band," nods Ormandy.

"This feels like a fresh start,"says Charell. "And that's exciting to us."

TRAPT LIVE! charts that maturation process the only way Trapt know how: playing music with one another.

Lyrics:

i'm through with standing in line
to clubs we'll never get in
it's like the bottom of the ninth
and i'm never gonna win
this life hasn't turned out
quite the way i want it to be

i want a brand new house
on an episode of cribs
and a bathroom i can play baseball in
and a king size tub big enough
for ten plus me

i'll need a credit card that's got no limit
and a big black jet with a bedroom in it
gonna join the mile high club
at thirty-seven thousand feet

i want a new tour bus full of old guitars
my own star on hollywood boulevard
somewhere between cher and
james dean is fine for me

i'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
i'd even cut my hair and change my name

(chorus)
'cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
and live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
the girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
we'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
and we'll hang out in the coolest bars
in the vip with the movie stars
every good gold digger's
gonna wind up there
every playboy bunny
with her bleach blond hair

hey hey i wanna be a rockstar
hey hey i wanna be a rockstar

i wanna be great like elvis without the tassels
hire eight body guards that love to beat up assholes
sign a couple autographs
so i can eat my meals for free

i think i'm gonna dress my ass
with the latest fashion
get a front door key to the playboy mansion
gonna date a centerfold that loves to
blow my money for me

i'm gonna trade this life
for fortune and fame
i'd even cut my hair
and change my name

'cause we all just wanna be big rockstars
and live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars
the girls come easy and the drugs come cheap
we'll all stay skinny 'cause we just won't eat
and we'll hang out in the coolest bars
in the vip with the movie stars
every good gold digger's
gonna wind up there
every playboy bunny
with her bleach blond hair
and we'll hide out in the private rooms
with the latest dictionary and
today's who's who
they'll get you anything
with that evil smile
everybody's got a
drug dealer on speed dial
hey hey i wanna be a rockstar
hey hey i wanna be a rockstar

i'm gonna sing those songs
that offend the censors
gonna pop my pills
from a pez dispenser
when they ask why i drink all day
i'll say because i can

i'll get washed-up singers writing all my songs
lip sync em every night so i don't get 'em wrong
then listen to the fans tell me how damn good i am

i'm gonna trade this life for fortune and fame
i'd even cut my hair and change my name


(chorus)
