I am drowning in an endless sorrow,
Oh yeah I thought I had a vision of you
I am diving into Sweet Bitter Pain
Oh yeah I though I saw the truth
Behind the scene
Reality and fantasy, lost in its ebb and flow
My emotions running low, love makes another mark
I am dancing that vision
Just cannot run away from it
I'm dancing with an illusion
You just can't fight with it
Oh yeah, endless days of torture and pain
Oh yeah, thoughts of you like binding chains
Oh yeah, in darkness darker than night
Oh yeah, fighting my way down the light
Visions of eternity with the traps you set for me
Oh, when will you set me free from the spells you cast
on me?
I am dancing that vision
Just cannot run away from it
I'm dancing with an illusion
You just can't fight with it
I am dancing that vision
Just cannot run away from it
I'm dancing with an illusion
You just can't fight with it
I am dancing that vision
Just cannot run away from it
I'm dancing with illusions
I walked for you in the wind
I called for you when the earth is shaken
Speak to me in the whisper
You'll always see beyond my world
Chorus:
Open my eyes give me vision to see you
Lord become us and
Let me know you
For I long to see you as you are (Vision to see you)
Open my ears let me hear you
Open my heart - show me Father
For I long to see you as you are
Give me vision to see you
I walked for you in the fire
I looked to you and my will is broken
Speak to me in the silence
You'll always see the truth unveiled
Chorus
Greet with mansions (dove noises)
Filled with all your glory (dove noises)
All night you show me when you be with Son of Man
So when I see the storm is falling I will stand, arise
Chorus X 2
Open my eyes give me vision to see you
Lord become and
Let me know you
For I long to see you as you are (Vision to see you)
SO NOW THAT YOU'RE GONE AWAY
NOW THAT YOU'RE NOT AROUND ME
I'M TRYING HARD TO HIDE THIS EMPTINESS
EVERY HEARTACHE LEAVES A SCAR, A TRACE BEHIND IT
AND GOD, I ONLY PUT THE BLAME ON ME
ARE YOU REALLY THERE, OR JUST A VISION
ARE YOU REALLY THERE, OR JUST A DREAM
AM I GOING TO TAKE THE RIGHT DECISION
JUST A VISION
ARE YOU REALLY THERE FOR ME
YOU GAVE WHAT YOU HAD TO GIVE
I TOOK IT ALL FOR GRANTED, YEAH
EVERY NOW AND THEN I FEEL YOU'RE THERE
WHEN I'M LAYIN' AT BED AT NIGHT
I COULD SWEAR YOU'RE THERE BESIDE ME
ANOTHER SLEEPLESS NIGHT I'M WAISTING, WONDERING
ARE YOU REALLY THERE, OR JUST A VISION
ARE YOU REALLY THERE, OR JUST A DREAM
AM I GOING TO TAKE THE RIGHT DECISION
JUST A VISION
ARE YOU REALLY THERE FOR ME
take time to look around
past the lies, look in your soul
stand mute without a sound
the world is changing - just look away
and if you want to know the truth
I just don't know what to say
we used to stand for everything
now I can see it slipping away
take me away
cause I can't believe that you're the one to fall
I still remember when
we had a vision in our hands
and we gave it to the world
then you took your guns and blew yourselves away
in order to be good
does that mean we must be great?
everything I thought was wrong
we passed the torch
As soon as my vision clears
As soon as these visions leave us
Saw my love as bright as the sea
Every time I'm with you I can almost feel
Soon as I can get my mind around
Soon as I can get my hands around
I'd give you everything but still I'd let you down
Every second sending much I'll come around
Come around
Come around
Come around
Maybe we can only wish now
And maybe there's no reason left now
I'm sorry I believed that one way
There's nothing left to take so you go your own
Come around
Come around
Come around
I have one feeling (been dreaming)
That you will finally come
I have that feeling (been dreaming)
And I know know that I'm right
Ooh I wanna have that feeling
Ooh to be the only one
Ooh I wanna have that feeling
Ooh to be the only one for you
I have been waiting (praying)
For you to finally show
I have been waiting (praying)
And I'm know that I'm right
Baby just for you
i've been watching from behind the scene
i worry you've been given bad routine
forget the damage they have done to you
i make sure i keep an eye on you
sick now - are you meant to be
broke down to disillusion street
shake now - got to hear me out
i come down this is my way out
got a vision you can live in
got a vision to be given
revolving all around the cash machine
it don't work, you know what i mean
there ain't no time to count the friends you've got
there ain't no time to miss a thing you've lost
sick now - are you meant to be
broke down to illusion street
shake now - got to hear me out
i come down and figure out
I have a vision of you, locked inside my head;
it creeps upon my mind, and warms me in my bed...
A vision shimering, shifting
moving in false firelight;
a vision of a vision,
protecting me from fear at night,
as the seasons roll on, and my love stays strong.
I don't know where you end, and where it is that I begin.
You simply open my mind, and the memories flood on in.
I remember waking up, with you arms around me;
I remember losing myself
and finding that you'd found me,
as the seasons roll on, and my love stays strong.
Be my child, be my lover, swallow me up in your fire-glow.
Take my tongue, take my torment, take my hand and don't let go.
Let me live in your life,
for you make it all seem to matter;
Let me die in your arms,
so the vision may never shatter...
The seasons roll on;
vision - can't find any
real reasons
vision - can't find any solutions
can't you see the flaws
in your decisions
enslaving sound for your
money hungry cause
fact is, you're fucked in the end
bastard, we laugh and watch
you fall
vision
i don't care
too blind to feel their kind...
what makes me say this? i guess i know. a desire to express my
feelings. a desire not to let it go. what keeps me here when we're
so far apart. a commitment i've made. it's been planted in my heart.
"do the right thing" is a phrase that's so cliche. i try to keep my spirits
up my energy just won't fade. you said a mouthful but you never
opened up your mouth. you built the bridge and i burned it down.
you saw it all yet you never blinked an eye. you gave me everything
and i pushed it all aside. is it more than music? haven't we heard it all
before? so tell me. what is it that we keep striving for? will it make a
difference if i quit the race? i know it wont. my energy fades.
tell me one thing. was it ever real? the way you made me act.
the way you made me feel. do you remember from the very start?
it's been so long ago. i think that i forgot. you built the bridge.
I want you to feel it
There's enough of us here
I can feel it in the air around me
So near
Now we are shoulder to shoulder
in the same plan
Without you I'm a broken man
Without you I'm a slave to their plan
I'll wash the evidence from my hands
and leave the guilt behind
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday
I know I can feel it
Just as tangible and as vivid as the moment that I'm in
So clear
Swim through the sea of pretenders
Without you I'm a broken man
Without you I'm a slave to their plan
I'll wash the evidence from my hands
and leave the guilt behind
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There is no vision, there is no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday
There's no vision. There's no vision. There's no
vision, something is about to change.
There's no vision. There's no vision. There's no
vision, something is about to change.
There's no vision. There's no vision. There's no
vision, something is about to change.
There's no vision. There's no vision. There's no
vision, something is about to change.
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Still living, living in yesterday
I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna react
I'm not scared, I'm not gonna be trapped
There's no vision, there's no vision today
Let me take you away, let me show you the way
To where you've never been, to a world between
Dance the light away in this passionate play
Through the forests so green of the green theory
Places I've seen, places I've been to
Places I've seen in my dreams
Our travel through times, the things that remind
How our past will be, what our future has seen
Places I've seen, places I've been to
Places I've seen in my dreams
You and I are both the same
We dared to play each other's game
Now there's no turning back
I just don't think like that
Wipe the slate clean and start again
Decide what is real and what is pretend
Wipe the slate clean and start again
Decide what it's worth or just let it end
I let it go right to my head
Thinking of the things that you said
Now I just can't seem to forget
What caused you to go astray?
I tightened my grip, and you pulled away
Just another brick to lay
Within this house of pain
Wipe the slate clean and start again
Decide what is real and what is pretend
Wipe the slate clean and start again
Decide what it's worth or just let it end
I let it go right to my head
Thinking of the things that you said
Now I just can't seem to forget
Can I find a way to forgive?
[spoken answering machine recording:]
let me tell you something, i just sat here thinking about your comments. i'll fucking tell you anything i wanna tell ya; if you were in front of me right now i'd smack ya. don't tell me about a hard day, cause you dont even know what a hard day is you little fuck! don't you ever talk to me that way again. and when you learn how to apologize, you call me back. goodbye!
Looking for a friend from years ago
He used to come with us to every show
Always had the time to hang with us
We knew he was someone we could trust
Where has he gone, where has he been
I just can't stop wondering
I would dive in the crowd, and he would pull me out
If the club wouldn't pay, he'd scream and shout
Making sure we were at the shows on time
If you came late, you were left behind
Where has he gone, where has he been
I just can't stop wondering
I'm looking for someone I used to know:I need to know
I'm looking for someone from long ago:I need to know
Where has he gone, where has he been
What has he done, I need to know
So I can find my piece of mind
You don't know me, know me at all
First I crumble, then I fall away:betrayed
You can't see, you're mesmerized
Too stubborn to compromise:I stay today
You had me believe
I never thought that you would leave
And now I bleed
I've got a sneaky suspicion I'm not your first
It's intuition and someone's been cursed - it only gets worse
Can't you see what's happening?
I'd have given anything to you - you know it's true
You had me believe
I never thought that you would leave
And now I bleed
There's nothing more that I can do
You're not the friend that I once knew
You don't know me, know me at all
First I crumble, then I fall away, away
You had me believe
I never thought that you would leave
Who are you and what does it mean
To brand yourself part of an underground scene?
Without the passion, you've sold your soul
To gain some measure of control
Somehow it seems that the point was missed
The power's in your head, not in your fists
Over the years
We had to rise
We did it our way
There was no compromise
Countless others have come and gone
They make some noise and they move right along
It's not an image that we are portraying
It's not a game that other's like playing
We'll never break and we're not going to bend
This is one message for us to send
Over the years
We had to rise
We did it our way
There are secrets we hide
We lock away, we keep inside
There are secrets that
We can never let show
There are things that we say,
Things that we do, and we don't know why
There are some things that
We just have to let go
Don't sound the alarm
Don't give us away
Between you and I
Is where it should stay
I won't confide
I won't give in, I won't defy
I won't break down and
I will not expose
No, I won't betray, I've got to stay true
If I want to survive
I, under pressure
Will not be disclosed
Don't sound the alarm
Don't give us away
Between you and I
Is where it should stay
There are secrets we hide
We lock away, we keep inside
There are secrets that
We can never let show
There are things that we say,
Things that we do, and we don't know why
There are some things that
Beggars and gentry, give 'em all an entry
Dying for a pass to your timeless affair
Make a concession, ignore their transgressions
Raising a glass, they're unaware
So drink down that sloe gin fizz and plan your next vacation
Your petty life turned into one financial saturation
Salivate while you berate the younger generation
And if you're smart, you'll never look to them for consolation
Beggars and gentry, give 'em all entry
Dying for a pass to your timeless affair
Make a concession, ignore their transgressions
Raising a glass, they're unaware
You broke the dreams of others to meet your aspirations
I guess in some demented way, you deserve congratulations
Built a modest fortune on greed and subjugation
What I would do if I were you is hide your face from me
I know what you're all about
Beggars and gentry, give 'em all entry
Dying for a pass to your timeless affair
Make a concession, ignore their transgressions
Raising a glass, they're unaware
So don't sit there and tell me you're such an inspiration
You're a fake because it takes hard work and dedication
It makes me sick, the thought of it - your filthy exploitation
I know a kid who is out of control
Took too many drugs, and it stole his soul
Sitting on the porch watching days and years fly by
Something needs to change, but he won't even try
As he sits and lets his body rot
I want to teach him things that I've been taught
Judging by the pale color of his skin
It may be too late for this to sink in
It doesn't matter what he has done
It doesn't matter what is said
I'll always be his friend
Even when he is dead
I know a kid who is out of control
Took too many drugs, and it stole his soul
Sitting on the porch watching days and years fly by
I already know what you're gonna say
I already know the things you're gonna do
Somehow I know how the story ends
I've been here before and it's happened again
Can't seem to break out of this trend
Just a little more than frustration
My private hell, eternal damnation
So tired and so bored, it's the same every day
Something's gotta change
I already know what you're gonna say
I already know the things you're gonna do
Somehow I know how the story ends
An open book with worn out pages
The shallow look on your face
Says that there is no destination
It comes as no revelation
So tired and so bored, it's the same every day
Something's gotta change
I already know what you're gonna say
I already know the things you're gonna do
Somehow I know how the story ends
So predictable, you're so predictable
Predictable, you're not original
I already know what you're gonna say
I already know the things you're gonna do
We still have hope that the world is going to change
And all the violence will somehow fade away
And I'm gonna bet that tomorrow is just like the rest
So here it goes once again, we are put to the test
Turn on the news, lighting the fuse
Watching the world just burn
We still have hope that the world will be a better place
Never to be judged by the color of your face
We know that you've heard this a thousand times before
But this is a struggle we can't ignore
Turn on the news, lighting the fuse
Watching the world just burn
I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I said I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I said I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I said I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I'm gonna sit and watch it burn
I've got a list of things that you put me through
I place the blame, you feel no shame for what you do
You like to think of me simply as a machine
And when it's over, you are the one to lose
I've got a clue
The problem is you
Not hard to choose
Hard to believe that anything you say is true
You're not worth listening to, there's nothing left to prove
You can't earn back the trust you take, lying was your first mistake
Now that it's over, you and I are through
I've got a clue
The problem is you
Not hard to choose
It's hard to believe that anything you say is true
You're not worth listening to, there's nothing left to prove
You can't earn back the trust you take, lying was your first mistake
If they came and took away
Everything you are today
Could you find another way
All my feelings undermined
Urged to follow strict design
And I won't cross that line
Just an effigy
What I used to be
And everything that seemed real
Was just a dream
Will you side with faith or fear?
Try to save all that's dear
They might scream, but I can't hear
I've got my own cross to bare
I've still got reason to care
And in the end, I'm no worse for wear
Just an effigy
What I used to be
And everything that seems real
Is just a dream
Will you side with faith or fear?
Try to save all that's dear
Will you side with faith or fear?
Try to save all that is dear
Just an effigy
What I used to be
And everything that seems real
One, Two, Three, Four
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
Why don't you listen to this, you might like it
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
You're some hypocrite if you say you don't buy it
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
I'll tell you right now that I'm never gonna try it
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
Give me what I want or there's gonna be a riot
What am I to do
Close-minded
What am I to do
Close-minded
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
Make no mistake, there's no compromise
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
Just try and see it through my eyes
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
I'll tell ya one more time that ya better keep quiet
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
If it's not punk rock, I'm never gonna like it
What am I to do
Close-minded
What am I to do
Close-minded
[Spoken:]
You know, everybodies always saying "You're really close minded. You only listen to one type of music, you only go to one type of show." And I say "Well you know what, this is the type of music we grew up on, this is the type of music we play. Punk rock is our way of life. It's how we chose to live. And everyone elses opinion is worth nothing. Don't worry about what I listen to, worry about your own life. Because I'm not going to change for you or anyone. I can't help it if you don't like it, and it's upto me if I don't want to listen to anything else. It's what's in our blood, it flows through our veins, so save your breath 'coz we're here to stay!!
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
Why don't you listen to this, you might like it
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
You're some hypocrite if ya say you don't buy it
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
I'll tell you right now that I'm never gonna try it
Everyone tells me I'm close minded
Hey why don't
We take a while
In lethargy
Wet with style
So you can see
The inner mile
And we'll wake
Before the vision
Is gone and while
We sleep I'll cradle
You make no mistake
I'll fit this shoe
Play like a child
On his maiden veiw
And we'll smile
Untill the vision
Is gone i want to
Be remembered
Not some drop
On the ocean
Like a creature
Dismembered by
A careless wheel
Inhale what
I feel and breath
Some life into me
Blessed entity
This creature created
By you just for me
Breeze dance over me
In the cooling night
Drink to this memory
For my thirsty sight
And when we die
May the vision live on
Say goodnight to
I had a date with suicide last night
I can´t decide if she´s something for me
Maybe I will sleep with her next time
so I don´t have to wake up again
I ask you again dear presence
why can´t you just disappear
I´ve been trying and fighting for so long
to end this life and walk my lane
Within the vision of silent screams
Within the storm of passion
Within the vision of you and me
I hope we stand and fall alone
I´m so sick of you absence
why are you always screaming at me
I´ve been hearing this for so long
but I don´t understand your words
My nights are all in other worlds
far away from sleeping
With the one, flying around my head
I want to move in on you
Within the vision of silent screams
Within the storm of passion
Within the vision of you and me
It rises it rises it rises it rises it rises
it rises it rises and my eyes
say and my eyes say and my eyes say
and my eyes say and my eyes say and my
eyes say push me away
Rage of inconsistence
a wall of inviting fading color.
I fade through your sight disguised.
And I will hand you this birth
Untie you with words
give you what i burned
A crutch of tunnel vision
forcefed denial- I reconcile
crave till I die.
And I will bleed you this world.
Untie you with words
forsake you this hurt.
And you can't reach for me
yet you reek of me
I'm still alive today
forcefed dreams will make you see.
I can't fuck with the minds of the brainless
found another way to get inside.
This shield has left you shameless
I'm witness to your suicide.
fall fall fall fall fall fall fall fall
Grow. Grow cold like me motherfucker.
Grow. Grow cold with me motherfucker.
My vision is endless
Mindfucking the brainless
My power relentless
Mindfucking the brainless.
For once my eyes are clear
No tunnel vision here.
Grow. Grow cold like me motherfucker.
Grow. Grow cold with me motherfucker.
My vision is endless
My power relentless
My vision is endless
My power relentless.
i feel sick (8x)
