[Music: Weston/Freund]
[Lyrics: Smail]
Envisioned fear
I dream of you
My time is drawing near
To bring me through
Are you heaven sent?
Or a messenger from hell?
How can I tell?
How can I tell?
Sweetly smiling
Or mocking jest
Tenderly beguiling
As I await my final breath
This time I've crossed the line for good
Won't go back even if I could
Now I have all the answers
But I can't tell
[Music: Weston]
[Lyrics: Balich]
Crawling through your mind
A cancer on the inside
Spreading sickness 'til no life remains
You let me gain a foothold
Now, I'll never let go
I will choke your spirit down to its last breath
You are dead already
I'm just placing pennies on your eyes
I'm the immoral
The one corrupting your soul
But my work's made easier with a some help from you
Your fear of living
Led you to your end
What is life, my friend, when you only look to death?
You are dead already
I'm just placing pennies on your eyes
Broken... Dying... Rotting
Your life is nothing!
Broken... Dying... Rotting
Your life's worth nothing!
[Music: Weston/Smail]
[Lyrics: Weston/Balich]
Obsessed with this therapy
It's a reflection of self
My motivation is clear
It's just how I felt
This machine that I've created
Really pulls me through
Like no other
For no other
It's just for me... maybe you
Sometimes I'm on the outside
Looking in on empty lives
I may not think like you
I've got my own mind
Cause in the end all the matters
Is that I've lived life my own way
And that I can look myself in the mirror
In the end will you say the same?
I feel at home... In my own... Proving Ground
I feel at home... In my own... Proving Ground
Obsessed with this therapy
It's a reflection of self
My motivation is clear
It's just how I felt
This machine that I've created
Really pulls me through
Like no other
For no other
It's just for me... maybe you
I feel at home... In my own... Proving Ground
I feel at home... In my own... Proving Ground
The memory lives in me to this day
I awake that morning to sorrow and to pain
I stand silent amidst the cries
Told your soul's been called
Robbed of all your guidance
When it was needed most
Drown me in a sea of empty
Deliver me to nothingness
Beyond the door where pain can't reach me
Drown me in a sea of empty
Never one to voice my pain so I tucked it away
And tears I never cried sit with me to this day
Sometimes I wish I couldn't feel
I'd feel your loss no more
Rip out my emotions
Cast them to nevermore
Drown me in a sea of empty
Deliver me to nothingness
Beyond the door where pain can't reach me
Drown me in a sea of empty
[Refrain]
So long I've searched for answers to my life
The great mystery of being
I've yearned for validation from without
When I should have looked within
In every mind resides the soul, the second self
The you so seldom known
The you that holds the light to cut the blackness
You were born into long ago
We are all the wizards of our minds
And we each can work the spell
To open gates of deeper understanding
And to storm the gates of fate itself
[Music: Weston]
[Lyrics: Smail]
Looking at changes beyond my control with hesitation
Setting in my life new goals - a liberation
Making my way blindly through life I see what I can
Sooner than later life takes its toll - a boy to a man
Wait - I see a chance at the window
Fate - mustn't always decide
I'll follow through with or without you
But I will be all right
Starting over isn't easy
It gets tougher every time, but to
Live and learn without getting burned
Is like not living at all
It's on the wings of sin that I've been flying
And your face is the sun that I have touched
And in the gardens of delight where I've been lying
Suddenly there's darkness instead of love
And now Eden's gonna fall
It's you that I looked to, to heal this heartache
And for a time you answered all my prayers
I was all too blind now Eden's fallen
My paradise was lost leaving me in tears
And now Eden's gonna fall
[Music: Weston/Smail]
[Lyrics: Smail/Weston]
From the inside looking out
Distorts what I'm about
Strains from emptiness
Change to bitterness
You have turned me
To what you thought I was
I don't care now
The past is now the past
The scars inside don't heal
The pain no more can I feel
I'm callous, alone, but unafraid
For better or worse I've changed
Product of what you've taught
You'll feel the things you thought
The path I now lead
Is wrath along with greed
Represent what I resent
You are all that I despise
Feeding from what I've become
Can't stop even if I tried
Glory bound or the fool crown
It's all just the same
I thank you now you showed me how
You've made my name
[Music: Smail]
[Lyrics: Smail]
As I lay here my lifeblood is flowing
Can you feel all of the pain I'm knowing
Cannot understand but still I know feelings
Your frightful existence has me reeling
What importance do I hold for you
Just a status symbol of the things you do
You can rationalize your reasons
You can twist the twisted truth
To me that doesn't matter much
I'm hanging by your views
You cannot see the things I'd be
Or hear what I've to say
But you take it upon yourself
To take my life away
I can feel your pain
I'm to lose and you're to gain
The shape of things to come
Destroyed by one
Innocent and pure
Selfish thoughts are all too sure
Why must it end this way?
Where's my say?
[Music: Lawrence/Weston]
[Lyrics: Lawrence]
Do you believe in me; I don't think you can
A mind too small to see, through the obvious...
Unperiled extremes of inner fright
Blocked from view of unborn sight
Of things not whole and yet complete
Of all things that are seen and unseen
You mock you stand so tall; where is the need
You beg ; You lose ; You crawl, Once it hits the
Hour of darkness falls upon you now
It's time to believe somehow
The voice of anguish closes in
If I'd have listened, I might never have been
Vile misconceptions
Prey upon your thoughts of corruption
See it stand so tall
Blatant and unforgiving
Is what you are
Faith in the darkness
Alone I stand, in mind
Can't turn back time
Your world; Your Dreams; Your life, all for nothing...
But there is joy and peace to be
Splendour built in harmony
I can't live my life to what's been
I dream alone in thoughts of the unseen
[Music: Smail]
[Lyrics: Smail]
Emotions rise like wisps of smoke
Too soon to dissipate
Warm days now blowing colder
Sunny days all turn to grey
Solitude can bring on peace
Or a piece of loneliness
Drifting on a jaded sea
Losing what I thought was me
The sound of silence is deafening
Screaming from every pore
Overwhelming me
Don't want to feel no more
Holding hope when there's none
Living in a world of no love
Crying out in vain
The only thing that's left is...
PAIN
I've come to know you so many times
In so many ways
The more things change the more they stay the same
Oh how I love this little game
What delight! In the dead of night
With you at my side
I've come to love this feeling of
What you bring to me inside
Lying, writhing this agony
From the depths of night
I lay my head in solitude
Like I'm the only one alive
Reserve myself to the fact
That nothing's ever gonna change
Embrace this hell I know so well
Oh how I love you PAIN
Nothing lasts
And nothing is real
Nothing lasts
Life is surreal
[Music: Weston/Smail/Freund]
[Lyrics: Smail]
Sit and watch the world, I contemplate
Existence ill legitimate, a quirk of fate
Is man of God or just Nature's folly
Still with intelligence, we all are crawling
One step forward and two steps back
Bring man's destined descent into black
What does existence hold for me
A mutation of what man conceives
Did you ever step back and look at yourself
You might not like what you see
And with each dawn that brings a new day's breath
For most it means life, but for me it means death
Man is a paradox drowning in irony
The world is chained to man's reality
Can't you see
It wasn't meant to be
Not you or me
Humanity......You're killing me
[Music: Lawrence]
[Lyrics: Lawrence]
I can't right my course
Could it be any worse?
Don't want to be, A slave to monotony
A life without a dream is living a wasted life
No dream, no hope, no time, no wife
The longer the wait, the more the hesitancy
Must get away soon or this place is the end of me
Ambition, Complacency
Half full , Half empty
The watchful eyes, have guided me
But now is the time, to be free
Optimism, my dear friend
Our life is mine, until the end
Complicated course
What could be the source
Don't want to think, Just want to sleep
Something calling and bringing me back again
Sounds like music, who cares how and when
A road less traveled that some can't find
Don't look at me because the answer's inside
Relations, Strained
Half empty, Half drained
[Music: Weston]
[Lyrics: Weston]
I, too, hear the cracking
The fury of the wind
The sound of everything crumbling
And fear it will not mend
You are one I've known forever
Yet your face has changed
Your soul is somehow different
Its aura rearranged
I've let too much slip through
And dread you'll finally see
This darkness I've been hiding
Deep inside of me
My total lust for chaos
and confusion that I feel
Pain, suffering, and misery
And demons all too real
The end is drawing near
And no one seems to care
Things have come and gone before
There's no need to shed a tear
All the warnings go ignored
As the final curtain falls
I feel nothing and I fear the same
As I stare straight into the sun
All you feel is pain
Huddled there in the dark
Looking for the last bad reason
To end it all
Well I've been watching you
In your self made hell
And you don't see the pain
You cause yourself
Won't you see the light?
Won't you see the light?
In a world of pain
There is always a way
Reach inside yourself
For the keys to a brighter day
And if you're ever afraid
Know that I'm by your side
You won't travel alone
I'll help you find the light
Won't you see the light?
Won't you see the light?
[Music: Weston/Smail]
[Lyrics: Smail]
Cosmic pillars stand I'm my way
Shooting stars soon fall
Airtight blackness everywhere
You cry and I'm appalled
Vortex spins
Without fear
End of all
Is drawing near
Screaming shards rip into me
Others I can't feel
Lookin' 'round parallel corners
Distorting what is real
Hear your call
In the night
Right is wrong
And wrong is right
You talk in riddles I speak in rhyme
But yet the sun that never sets still ceases to shine
Reality fades in dreams of regret
I cannot remember but will never forget
The past is my present, the future's a lie
These are words to live by
I've opened myself up
Exposed my vulnerability
Yet all you can do is sit there in silence
Leaving me empty
God forbid you should show some emotion
God forbid you should ease my pain
God forbid you allowed me security
That all my words have not been in vain
Goddamn you for silently choking me
Goddamn you you've frozen my soul
Goddamn you for keeping me hanging on
I burned for you yet you remained cold
I've risked much to love you
Yet you're content to take without giving
Drink in all my love
So smug in the knowledge
Like a fool I'll keep coming back again
God forbid you should open your eyes up
God forbid you should look at what's true
God forbid you attempted to right the wrongs
Of all the hell you're putting me through
Goddamn you for silently choking me
Goddamn you you've frozen my soul
Goddamn you for keeping me hanging on
I burned for you yet you remained cold
[Music: Weston/Leard/Smail]
[Lyrics: Balich/Smail]
The astral doors are opening
Bidding me to step on through
A cosmic finger points the way
Past skies of black and seas of doom
Transcending now this mortal form
Solar sailing on stellar waves
My soul has gone beyond time itself
Mind expanding through celestial terrain
Distant landscapes appear - yet I have no fear
Spinning through the vortex of mystic light and sound
The answers lie before me the questions yet to be found
Lost and found adrift in a lunar sea
Looking down at Earth and the life I used to lead
Myriad dreams in multi-color
Leading me past Saturn's rings
Translucid spectrum like no other
Secrets of God unraveling
[Music: Smail/Weston/Goodbread]
[Lyrics: Smail/Weston/Goodbread]
All this suffering yet I cannot feel it
Words of consolation I bring to you
I am torn by grief and sorrow
For me there's no tomorrow
Hiding under your shroud of security
For your peace of mind
I've lived and learned with gifts bestowed on me
But I was left behind
I reach for you but you're illusion
Please excuse me for my intrusion
Once hopeful but now just living
Why must I be punished for giving
Youth memories that once had sheltered me
Kill me in the end
Born to suffer live by standard die in despair
Born to suffer again
Who are your heroes? Where are the morals?
Somewhere in limbo but surely not here
Can't you see my misery maybe tomorrow I'll be all right
Blasphemy and irony of a world on it's knees
Reality's gain is my loss, until a change
I will suffer
Here I stand looking into you
No need to tell me what you're going through
Cause man I've been there myself
When life dealt out pain
I'd swallow it and hold it in
Then I learned to unlock the scream
Buried deep within
Now parts standing still are moving
Reborn as a new machine
Here I stand looking into myself
Reflecting on the times that I conquered hell
Prides swelling up within me
I hold the keys to lock away the stress and strain
I'll change the color of the rain
I've learned I hold that power
Power of a new machine
Living as a new machine
[Music: Weston/Smail]
[Lyrics: Lawrence]
You pretend to be my friend
But you can't make that which isn't real
You fill your mind with facts
But you will never get the feel
It's not quite right
You're not what you seem
One part false
Two parts obscene
Back stabbing hypocrite
Won't let you scandalize my name
You want my confidence
But no two things you say are ever the same
You're not quite right
It's not what it seems
Social status
Human obscene
Yours is no sacrifice
It's all a worthless slice
Of conversation for the day
Mine is paradise
Upon which there is no price
Of that you mock and betray
And you're telling me
What it is I need
I don't have a clue
How can you?
I know what's real
Or at least I can feel
Vengeance is mine
In due time
[Music: Weston]
[Lyrics: Smail]
All through life
Whatever I've been dealt
I've taken it in stride
And I've always felt
Sure of myself
Confident with pride
Rode through it all
Grounded from inside
Always
Even through
The adversity
I never let the pain
Break the will in me
It made me stronger
Set more my beliefs
All I have is what I am
And that's all I'll ever need
Always
Stand your ground
With yourself intact
Surround yourself with love
It always comes back
Always
Always
[Music: Smail]
[Lyrics: Balich]
When the night is gettin' old
And the air is gettin' colder
You know I'll never fold up
I turn my back on fear...
As I lie awake alone
And the voices come to taunt me
Every night another haunting
Driving me beyond my years...
When sleep finally flies me away
Under crimson clouds of pain
All my regrets have taken shape
As bitter tears that fall like rain
Hey - I think I'm ready
To confront the things in life that are haunting me
Hey - If it takes me all my days
I'll drive away the bitter tears of pain
Phantoms of what could have been
Now come to tempt my soul to sin
Dark purple mountains of misery
Bring the weight of the world on me
Hey - I think I'm ready
To confront the things in life that are haunting me
Hey - If it takes me all my days
I'll drive away the bitter tears of pain
So tired of the pain - the never ending strain
It's time I made the change
It's time to rearrange...
'Cause I - I think I'm ready
To confront the things in life that are haunting me
Hey - If it takes me all my days
I'll drive away the bitter tears of...
Pain
[Music: Smail/Weston]
[Lyrics: Smail]
Life's so fast, got to make it last
You've got to let your feelings show
Don't have all the answers to cure life's cancer
I've been around enough to know
Life... another cross that we bear
Hope... amidst the pain and despair
Release your pain
World's a mess, we've got to do our best
Try and clot the world's wounds bleeding
We've got to fight, hard is the path to right
Winning's not worth it if it's easy
Life... another cross that we bear
Hope... amidst the pain and despair
Release your pain
I'm out in the world without a home
I'm scared but not alone
I don't know where to go
But I know where I'm going
It's got to be me and you
With a little love we can make it through
[Music: Smail]
[Lyrics: Smail]
Out of the blackness
Comes the saving light
Lifts me on wings
To a dizzying height
I can't believe it
I know I need it
Revel in feelings
Of borrowed time
Taking for granted
The things I thought were mine
Time is coming near
The day that I fear
It's just a matter of time
You give me feelings
I can't replace
Inevitable way
Darkness has its day
Like a child to the grave
My future is paved
All I can do is wait...
If you could see the world
In the same light as I do
But you don't
So you can't and you won't
You'll never understand my views
And I don't care
You can't relate
I'm past the point of hate
And you know it
I've got my heart on my sleeve
For you to love or hate
Put up or shut up
I ain't got time to wait no more
I ain't gonna waste my time
To see if your water turns to wine
A perfect picture hanging on a crooked wall
A house of cards just waiting to fall
The gilded keys are the way to hell
For you to buy or sell
But you can never tell
And I'm laughing
You know I can't resist
Gonna roll over you like you never existed
I smile while all the while
I'll put you up just to tear you down
Bleeding hearts only beat so long
I won't sing your misery song
No more
A bleaker day I've never seen
Reality has settled in
Cause when I look at you I'm sick inside
When I think that what we shared has died
Love dies... only pain survives
The cruelest of all illusions
Darkest of all deceptions
I naively believed that love transcends years
Now I gaze in terror as it disappears
Love dies... only pain survives
Love dies
[Music: Weston]
[Instrumental]
Reaching for the heavens
But my hands are full of holes
The holes in my hands
Won't let me grasp the stars
Reaching for the heavens
But my hands are full of holes
The holes in my hands
Won't let me grasp the stars
So long I've been a dreamer
My head high up in the sky
But my wings wetted down
Would never let me fly
My arms are growing weary
Stardust in my eyes
My heart full of envy
Longing to be satisfied
Reaching for glory
Reaching for the sun
Reaching for the magic
That will make me one with the gods
Reaching for the heavens
But my hands are full of holes
The holes in my hands
Won't let me grasp the stars
For years my spirits traveled
Round the circles of beyond
It never will rest
It will carry on
[Music: Weston]
[Lyrics: Weston]
Breathing in this life I'm livin' yeah
The taste is bitter sweet
All the hardships endured
I anticipate
The time when I'm solid
Looking past the downpours
To a day that's cloudless
Now, each day I pray
The turmoil will pass
I'm hoping that today is the day
That there'll be no more stress
Or any pain
And I will hear your laughter once again
Looking past the downpours
To a day that's cloudless
Now the darkness has gone
And we've said goodbye
But I won't forget no matter how I try
And today is so bright
And your smile's like the sun
Bringing the world back to life again
I've weathered the storms
And today is cloudless
[Music: Weston]
[Lyrics: Balich]
This mortal path I tread its trials are killing me
As swirling winds of change now blow inside of me
And clouds of ash have blinded eyes that once could see
The path to happiness that lies in front of me
Looking down at circle number nine
Where my soul will fly
Circle number nine
The temporary light you've shown upon my heart
Kaleidoscoping stars obscure the obvious
The longer I embrace that which can never be
The more the tongues of fire reach out to lash at me
Looking down at circle number nine
Where my soul will fly
Circle number nine
I'm looking out from circle number nine?
Where my soul resides
Circle number nine
Looking up from circle number nine?
Where my soul resides
Circle number nine...
[Music: Smail/Weston]
[Lyrics: Smail]
Gaunt figures of a dismal world
Cast in grey with tattered flags unfurled
Gone beyond just me and you
The perfect symmetry of being ripped in two
Blue is the color of life
While you're cast in grey
All the years of tomorrow
That are gone today
Pallid shadows of a sight unseen
Revealing truths of the machine
Gossamer wings that could never fly
Paint new horizons for you and I
Blue is the color of life
While you're cast in grey
All the years of tomorrow
That are gone today
Heaven sends
And Hell awaits
With patience
Smile at you with rage
As I emerge from
Hatred
Lying in wait unbridled fury
Laced with self-titled glory
Crimson tides and ashen dreams
Will rise above make you believe
Moonlight backdrop of one dimension
Multi-layers of my invention
Weaving spells cast to the wind
Reliving things that could have been
[Music: Smail/Weston]
[Lyrics: Balich]
Sometimes I wanna cut myself
So you'll flow out of my veins
The kiss that tainted my blood
Is beating down my heart again
I want to bleed you from my heart
I want to bleed you from my veins
I want to kill you... in my mind
I want to bleed away the pain
These days the colors fade to grey
All my hope and dreams now melt away
Lost soul in turmoil crying out
I'm wrenching out my guts again
I want to bleed you from my heart
I want to bleed you from my veins
I want to kill you... in my mind
I want to bleed away the pain
Why won't you die???
[Music: Weston/Lawrence]
[Lyrics: Lawrence]
Hear me now, my tale to be told
Of dreams of greed and sins of old
The tide breaks calm and closes in
The sails catch wind my tale begins...
Journey out to sea, Lust and greed follow me
Ride the path to shame, Winds of deceit call my name
Shipwreck of centuries old, Festival of long dead gold
Innocents not long on life, But long to die for my pleasure
Ahead lies the monstrosity
Unveiled in glory for me to see
So sad a fate so many should die
But no more deserved for one such as I
Footstep through the dread, Torn limbs and flesh now shred
Gather together the jewels, From this ship of fools
More lost souls rise from the depths of the sea
And surround me on the shore
"Gamble your soul for this chest of gold
Or dwell with us now and forever more"
I grab for life, a run for gold
The wind's with me, the sails take hold
I am the man, Who cheated death
With new found wealth, and tainted breath
I hear the limbs scrape below
Life breaks surface with death in tow
And now I've learned too late to see
I dwell below for now and eternity
[Music: Weston/Smail]
[Lyrics: Smail]
What is real and what is fantasy
Are you who you are or what you want to be
Your kind breeds conceit
Fact and fiction conceived
You don't know you only see
Words not deeds
A perceived perception or factual entity
All you know is who I'm supposed to be
Your kind breeds conceit
Fact and fiction conceived
You don't know you only see
Words not deeds
Adding more fuel to the lie that you fire
I'm living the truth while you're projecting a liar
In Canaan's land I'm on my way where the soul never dies
My darkest night will turn to day where the soul never dies
No sad farewell no tear dimmed eyes where all his love and the soul never dies
[ mandolin ]
A rose is blooming there for me where the soul never dies
And I will spend eternity where the soul never dies
No sad farewell no tear dimmed eyes where all is loved and the soul never dies
[ dobro ]
A love light pinks across the throne where the soul never dies
It shines to light the shores of home where the soul never dies
OUR HEARTS ARE HOLDING HANDS
WITH BONNIE OWENS
(Bill Anderson)
« © '65 Johnny Bienstock Music, BMI »
We're far apart but our hearts're holding hands
It's lonely just to sit here by myself each night
Not knowing when I'll ever get to hold you tight
Oh yes I have temptations and sometimes it's pretty rough
But temptation's never strong as our sweet love
Cause our hearts are holding hands across the miles
Even though we're lonely we can smile
Cause I know you're my woman and I know you're my man
We're far apart but our hearts are holding hands
Today a stranger looked my way and flashed his gold
And said he'd buy me all the treasures I could hold
But I took out your last letter that said you love me so
And there I found the strenght to tell him no
Cause our hearts are holding hands...
I know not where on earth to find you
I don't know how or where to start
I only know I'm here without you
And there's pins and needles in my heart.
The days and nights are growin' longer
Since first you said that we must part
But now I know I can't forget you
I've got pins and needles in my heart.
--- Instrumental ---
I always see your face before me
Your smile is heaven's work of art
But now you're smiling at another
And there's pins and needles in my heart.
Someday, somewhere I'll find you
And love will make the teardrops start
And then you'll know how long I've waited
(Liz Anderson)
Merle Haggard & Bonnie Owens
So much for me so much for you.
Oh how hard we fought today behind that courtroom door
Deviding up the things we both had worked together for
Now we go our seperate ways the ties no longer bind
So much will belong to you and so much will be mine.
It's over now the paper's signed
What once was ours is yours or mine
But don't forget to divide the heartaches too
So much for me, so much for you.
We signed our names and thanked the judge and walked out in the hall
Too confused to realize the reason for it all
We should have fought as hard to make our love grow fine and strong
As we've fought to prove which one of us was right or wrong.
It's over now the paper's signed
What once was ours is yours or mine
But don't forget to divide the heartaches too
Too much time spent sitting in darkness
Sinking into paranoia and sickness
Knowing all along someone has planned this
Right from the start, right from the start
Now every shadow is hiding a secret
Close your windows but they can still see you
So many tentacles trying to reach you
To crush your heart, to crush your heart
Now you're all alone, this ain't the way home
You can't trust anyone anymore, anymore
You're at your wits end, you're not among friends
You're gunna be, be, be, be sick
It breaks your heart, it breaks your heart
Buildings loom tall and dark
Who called your name in the park?
Run back home
Now you'll never understand their reasons
And they're somewhere they know you can't see them
But their lies are like poison arrows
The ham handed hijinks of high minded highbrows
Shoplifting revolutionaries who wind up in the hooskow
Militiamen from Michigan are aiming at my head
I think I’ve had enough of this, I think I’ll go to bed
See I don’t go to the doctor’s cause doctors can’t be
trusted
Mom says eat your vegetables but she can’t cut the
mustard
All the walls are closing in and everything’s falling
apart
Pie eyed utopians get kicked out the door
Hopeless idealists get left on the floor
Backhanded bureaucrats may not stay for tea
I hate everybody, cause everyone hates me
Me no talk to lawyer, cause him speak with forked tongue
Me no do my homework, and me no mow my lawn
All my friends are turning on me
Doctors and nurses with scalpels and scissors keep
cutting and slicing away
I look around me
All I see are enemies today
Won’t somebody save me
Sing it again now, I feel so sick that I could die
I've been to the doctor, he already told me
There is nothing he can do
There's nothing wrong with me
That he can figure out
So why do I always feel like I'm falling apart from the
inside out?
Sing it again now, I feel so lonesome I could cry
My friends all tell me it's all in my head now
They say I'm not even trying
I know they're right, I've been like this ever since I
was small
I feel like the world's against me, like I've got my back
up against the wall
So I just lay in bed all day
With ice on my head, but it's still the same
Just stare at the wall, what if I never feel ok
It's alright
Sing it again now, gotta admit what I know is true
I'm all broke down, cause I know I still want you
I'm just like everybody else
It's a slippery subject that we never talk about
It's always the same old shit
When I try to sleep at night
And I peer into the darkness
I see shapes of thing to come
And I know my days are numbered
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know they got my number
But there’s nothing in the darkness
There ain’t there in the daylight
But the daytimes full of nightmares
And the darkness can’t hide me anymore
I know they got my number
When I try to sleep at night
I can’t because you’re out there
Are you knocking on my door
Are you crawling through my window
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I know they got my number
Hey Jingo Casanova
Hangin' round this third world shit hole
Both body and mind are ine tuned machines
In freedom's arsenal
Hey baby, wanna see my gun?
Hey baby, are you on the run?
Hey baby, whose side are you on tonight?
Hey Gringo Loverboy
You still got a job to do
Days filled with bloody action
Nights of steamy passion
But in a job like yours
Feelings are something you can't afford
But this girl, she got to you somehow
In the restaurant, filled with body parts
Did the bomb go off? Did you stand her up?
She was waiting there, did you chicken out?
Such a pretty girl, does it break your heart?
Rebecca, you hopeless cause, you dirty dog
Are you so content to be left out in the cold?
Oh but all this fuss over such a little thing
It's all too much, it's all too much for you to take
Rebecca, you think it's easier to just blend in and fade
away
But what it takes is to know how much you're worth
And raise the stakes and someday you might come in first
And Rebecca, I've got some advice
You wont get far by being too nice
The more you give, the more they'll take
So take it all and spit it in their face
But all this fuss over such a little thing
It's all too much, it's all too much for you to take
But you'll be there when the rest all burn away

And I'm losing my heart to you

You're just what I needed
[ Both ]
You're my every dream come true
[ Bonnie ]
My life's growing stronger
[ Merle ]
I can't wait much longer
[ Both ]
I'm falling in love with you
Slowly but surely I'm falling in love...
Truth is hidden away
Hidden away from everyone
There is only one way
Stare directly into the sun
Go away, cuz I don’t need you
Always bite the hand that feeds you
Go away, don’t wanna see you
Tell me the truth and I won’t believe you
They try to take it away
They try to hide it from the light of day
They try to take it away
They try to tell us there is no way
Hold your breath, drink lots of water
Don’t make me laugh, don’t even bother
There is no way, there’s only one
Stare directly into the sun
There was a man
He was afflicted for 37 years
Now he’s fine
Fly away little dove
Always hurt the ones you love
Fly away to the sky
Its to bad you burned your eyes
Go away, cuz I don’t need you
Always bite the hand that feeds you
Go away, don’t wanna see you
Tell me the truth and I won’t believe you
God knows we try to do the right thing
Always fuckin' up
Just walk away now you're the goodbye girl
And everybody knows...
Pretty soon things are gonna change again
Pretty soon tears are gonna fall again
Everybody tells me you don't stand a chance
You're gonna be another feather in her cap
Heard you was a heartbreaker
Hangin' round the park with the walking dead
Drunk off my ass, got punched in the head
Going over and over everything you said
Hell it's nothing 40 more ounces won't men
Memories from the sea
On a tempest
Still haunting me
Visions from a breathless dream
Go down with the ship into the deep
Once I heard your siren song
I was crushed upon the ocean
But I labored all along
Under one misguided notion
That you'd come back to me
Come walking in my cabin
Tentacles, barnacles
All my favorite monsters
Here with me
Nautical rock n roll
Everything was going swimmingly
Then I heard your siren song
I was crushed upon the ocean
But I labored all along
Under one misguided notion
That you'd come back to me
Come walking in my cabin
Beneath the waves, with my mermaid
We had some kicks, and some fishsticks
Then she swam away from me
Forever
Once I heard your siren song
I was crushed upon the ocean
But I labored all along
Under one misguided notion
That you'd come back to me
I'll go walking in my cabin
Looks like the jig is up
The curtains coming down
The lights are going on
In a blinding flash everything’s gone
It’s the beginning of the end
I’m already breaking down
And now the time has come
The circle is complete
Machines spring to life
I am obsolete
It’s the beginning of the end
I’m already breaking down
We keep fighting with each other
Cause we don’t know what to do
It’s the beginning of the end
And I can’t believe, I can’t believe
I can’t believe it’s true
And now this is how it’s gotta be
I won’t let them make a fool of me
They try to shut me out, but I’m already gone
And now this is where it’s gotta end
I’m not gonna let the bad thoughts in
