There floats our conversation
Like clouds in our minds
We leave an open invitation
To this world we've denied
If I turn around
Would that be my fault
If I turn around
Would that be my loss
Feel the raindrops of impression
Stinging from above
What the price of this confusion
We have yet to speak of
Out of sight beyond confusion
Still I'm here defining my own truth
Paranoia by conclusion
(INSTRUMENTAL)
Here I lie motionless
Catch me if you can
My properties of no defense
So, strike at your command
But, don't bring me down
All right
Don't bring me down
Cause there's purpose
For this night
Save me come tomorrow
Lead me to my urgency
See I'm no more no less
Of an angel
Than you'd have me be
So let's shake it like this
Steady here I cast my lines
Only to expose
A weaker sense and
No constraint
Now my true self shows
But, don't bring me down
All right
Don't bring me down
Cause there's promise
Time, you've had more than your share of mine
I'm a criminal with no crime
Sing like a bird that is now released
Like an angel with clip-on wings
Yeah nothing that's etched in stone
See I'm already who's already gone
Love's a joke, love's a tease
Love's a cause I do believe but
Let it run now, let it run out to me
Low I can live in a sinking hole
Cause I'm as high as the grass will grow
Gone like a stage with its curtain drawn
Like the loss as of Babylon
Yeah I can mumble and talk again
But I'm a promise that's never been
Love's a thrill yeah, love's a scene
Love's a reason I believe but
Let it run now, let it run out to me
Yeah I'm coming round, this world loves me now
Who's gonna be my savior
Now that I've learned to believe
And who's gonna be the answer
To all of my questioning?
Well, I hope I'm not lost
But I think that hope is now distancing
And the words that secure a cause
Are not faint whisperings
Who's gonna wear my crown?
Who's gonna wear my crown?
I don't know
I just might, alone
Who's gonna wear my crown?
Who's gonna wear my crown?
I don't know
I just got to go my way
And who's gonna be my partner
Now that I stand here alone?
And who's gonna be the shepherd
To lead this poor boy back home?
Well, I hope I'm not lost
But I think that hope is now distancing
And the words that secure a cause
Are now faint whisperings
Who's gonna wear my crown?
Who's gonna wear my crown?
I don't know
I just might, alone
Who's gonna wear my crown?
Who's gonna wear my crown?
I don't know
I just got to go my way
Who's gonna wear my crown?
Who's gonna wear my crown?
I don't know
I just might, alone
Who's gonna wear my crown?
Who's gonna wear my crown?
I don't know
I just got to go
Complicate this world you brought to me
Im accquainted with your suffering
All your weight it falls on me
It brings me down
All your weight it falls on me
falls on me
Hold me after all the meal desists
Promises you break you still believe
All your weight it falls on me
It brings me down
All your weight it falls on me
It brings me down
All your weight it falls on me
it falls on me
All your weight it falls on me
It brings me down
All your weight it falls on me
it falls on me
Complicate this world you wrapped for me
I'm acquainted with your suffering
And all your weight
It falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight
It falls on me
It falls on me
Hold me up to all whom you've deceived
You pushed me down
For all the world to see
I guess that's your price
For my loyalty
So while you're tasting sin
And swallowing pain
Don't look at me
To take your blame
When you're willing to render
To the guilt you concede
When truth is your reason
Then lay that blame on me
When you unveil a conscience
And with peace you agree
When love is your constant
Then lay that blame on me
You lay me out
In hopes that I'd wilt away
But strength rained down
And love provided shade
So while the pageant of lies
Still glow from your tongue
Don't blame me for
Your Kingdom Come
Question your answers
Truth has no anger
Gather up your words
Give me a moment
Got to get this weight up off my chest
Don't feed me sorrow
Pain is a poison I digest
Find yourself another soul to hold
You think, you thought, I know
Off upon my journey I must go
To where the river flows
I'll give you answers
To the questions you have yet to ask
Silence is beauty
Words they only complicate the task
Make no more wishes
All of my patience has been spent
Gods of the season
She's a picture perfect child
Of innocence.
Searching out in childlike ways
For knowledge.
Now she's questioning her mother
Yeah she's questioning her father
Yeah she's looking for the answers
To the problem that confronts her.
Do you know where the sun goes
When the water falls?
Do you know where the rain goes
When the water falls?
Though I think her subjects could
Run far and wide.
She has centered on the topic
Of the sky.
Now she's questioning her mother
Yeah she's questioning her father
Yeah she's looking for the answers
Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why
Are we listening
To hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see
That love is gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding into one
Into one
So I walk up on high and I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself while the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know, it's the world I know
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why, I don't know why
So I walk up on high and I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself while the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know, it's the world I know
Yeah, I walk up on high and I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself while the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know, it's the world I know
Congratulations, oh baby I'm back again
I'm loaded down with my god and my medicine
I know wisdom is change
So why can't you function that way
Here I am flaunting my self control
'Cause happiness is more than a kiss you know
I'm activating all your promises once again
And pushing forth dear with the rage of my reverence
We could close our eyes
And recklessly run on through
Any space and time
She said good day boy, are you ready to shake
I said I love noise and this life that it makes
See I have a line though it's subject to change
I once had a thought but then I gave it away
Yeah sooner or later I'll be perfect to stay
She said good night boy, are you feeling alone
I said I love time but never ever this long
Like the sun surely loves it's newborn days yeah
Poetry of politics and lost entities
Government is loneliness on this we agree
High are the angels and low I decree
Love only burns when fueled by belief
Home, welcome home
Take a little walk, take a little walk right through our
Home, this is home
Take a little walk, take a little walk right through our... home
Climb up the mountains then slide to the seas
Beauty adores us on this we agree
God is a witness and God is a tease
Wait just a second now
Love's easier Lost than found
So learn baby learn
It's time to up and turn the other way
Yeah peace baby peace
It's past time to release and fly away
Once I was down and couldn't see
Then love lifted me
Yeah love; it was love
I believe that love lifted me
Hush not another sound
Time to move up to higher ground
Now time baby time
No longer's on our side so make a way
To ride baby ride
And pull me upon high and fly away
Don't push me, don't shove me
Don't make me go down in flames
Pull me to safety and help me
To feel no more pain
The walls came up as the thoughts went down
To the hush of disparity
Sure we know the problem lies
With some insecurities
But we'll never see eye to eye
As long as our tongues are tied
And we'll never be seen as one
Until we find love
In a moment it could happen
We could wake up and be laughing
In a moment it could happen
We could forgive and be happy
It's a shame our world responds to life
As a puzzle in disguise
I wish our course would lead us towards
The peace and loving kind
But we'll never walk hand in hand
Until we let old wounds mend
And we'll never sing songs as one
Until we find love
In a moment some wisdom could be learned
In a moment new voices could be heard
In a moment we could make heads turn
Wake up to a new morning
Got my babe by my side
Now I won't yield to new warnings
'Cause I got my piece of mind
Who's gonna bring me heaven
When heaven's already here
No more living in darkness
Now that love lights my way
I don't need any new changes
Been thinking a lot about my ways
Guess I'm trying baby
Been searching out a way to say
Guess I'm sorry baby
This time I give all to you
It's time I prove something to you
So I'll lift you up and hold you near
Warm your heart and calm you fears
See I don't want to lose this love I found
So I'll burn my bridges, burn them down
Been hurting a lot without you here
Guess I need you baby
Been sleeping upon a bed of tears
Guess I miss you baby
This time I give all to you
It's time I prove something to you
Take all my world and shake it
Take my dear heart and embrace it
Take what I say and listen
Watch my world spin round
It stops for you
I'll give you heaven for a view
I set my sights on high my aim is true
I'd walk on water just for you
All is all I can give you
All is all I can do
All is all I wish for when I'm with you
Come lay your troubles down
Rest here with me
My kingdom is all yours to receive
Well, I'll push the clouds away
So you can have sunshine
Change will come
Change is here
Love fades out
Then love appears
Now my water's turned to wine
And these thoughts I have
I now claim as mine
I'm coming home
Change has been
Change will be
Time will tell
Then time will ease
Now my curtain has been drawn
And my heart can go
Where my heart does belong
Color me any color.
Speak to me in tongues and share.
Tell me how you'd love to hate me.
Tell me how you'd love to care.
Well I just want to shake us up.
Let's mingle
And make it well.
Come together now.
Yeah let's gel.
Clothe me in any fashion.
Glitter to so mundane.
Tell me how you'd love to change me.
Tell me I can stay the same.
I just want to shake us up.
Let's mingle
And make it well.
Come together now.
Yeah let's gel.
Well let's bungle
And live to tell
How we came together.
Why drink the water
from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards
your domain.
Your cup runneth over again.
Don't scream about
Don't think aloud
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out
Don't worry about
Don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now baby
Just spit me out
Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am.
Don't throw away your basic needs,
Ambiance and vanity.
December promise you gave unto me
December whispers of treachery
December clouds are now covering me
I think her gun's
unloaded now.
I guess tomorrow
will be after all?
Who made me judge
and jury here?
It seems I'm bearing
witness to her fall.
I don't know why
she cries to me.
(she keeps her pain
as company)
'Cause it's only time
before we all must
bleed.
Mirrors of her
memory
Reflect nothing with
each word she says.
Her views have got
me spinning 'round.
I think she's burning
I'm sleeping to encompass myself
I wake up then distribute what's left
With my anger well defused
The link to love I now may choose
With my heart no more abused
The link of love I now may use
I'm sleeping to develop myself
I wake up then rel;inquish what's left
With my anger well diffused
The link to love I now may choose
With my heart no more abused
The link of love I now may use
I was caught by your lies spinning
then was saved by truth's opinion
In between us
Good and evil wait
To lie beside us
In our bed we make
In between us
Caution never heeds
We prey on weakness
Then beg for sympathy
In between words
Silence parades so confusion is heard
Our voices afraid
To speak up and reassure
So in between words we remain
In between
In between us
Hope we've yet to see
We long for healings
But the scars never leave
Silence fills the void
Of love and hate
An effective tool
When used to separate
Giving me cause so I may yearn
Giving me words so I may learn
I want more I want more
Giving me thoughts that I may keep
Giving me dreams so I may sleep
I want more I want more
Still all I need is love
So give me more
Giving me calm to fall into
Giving me hope to guide me thru
I want more I want more
Giving me light to see thru tears
Giving me strength to crush my fears
I want more I want more
Still all I need is love
So give me more
I won't break you down
I won't bring you down anymore
Giving me choice so I may seek
Giving me faith so I'll believe
I want more I want more
Giving me breath of your mercy
Giving yourself to comfort me
I want more I want more
Still all I need is love
In my silence I would love to forget
But restitution hasn't come quite yet
And with one accord I keep moving forth
I stretch my heart to heal some more
It used to be all I'd want to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
But now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you
As my seasons change I've now grown to know
When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe
So I wash away stains of yesterday
I've got a memory of nothing new
I've only memorized all thoughts of you
I'm pushing all tomorrows
Gotta go, gotta go, gotta get you back
I'm pushing all thoughts forward
'Cause you are the one day
That tells me that someday
I'll get whay you choose
You are the one thing
That gives me that something
Persuasion of you
I feel you resonate, I swear I do
You got my earth vibrating no matter
Where I'm running to
I'm pushing all tomorrows
Gotta go, gotta go 'til I get you back
I'm pushing all thoughts forward
Don't hold back
Hold back my world
Don't hold back
Got a photograph of a smile
Taken way back when we could smile
Now this plane will take me
Where I don't know
Maybe Tokyo
'Cause there's no memories over Tokyo
And there's no hurting over Tokyo
Got a photograph of some tears
Taken presently with more tears
Now I'll search for happiness
Where should I go
Maybe Tokyo
Attention will this pain go away
I waltzed around you
Seven times
Only to become
A melody you never sang
I'm not the one
Oh I'm not the one
Clouds of thought you
Filter through
Never to reason
While patiently your world
Still bleeds
Who shall be the one?
Hey you give me no choice
I entertain by the silence
That you created by noise
Hey I'm flirting inside
I need the floor opened up
For the scream I'd now love to shout
I can't convey
I can't relate to the thoughts you now
Generate
I can't contain
I can't explain all the words you now
Generate
Hey I swallowed your pride
To gather up confrontation
Feels like a new regime
All hail to the soul machine
Feels like what I taste
Always better than yesterday
Feels like sweet sixteen
All sugar and nicotine
It feels like ready go
I'm full throttle while the fluids flow
I said it feels like it feels like feels alright
Yeah and it feels like it feels like feels alright
Feels like a Sunday dress
I'm stained with sin but always blessed
It feels like the great escape
I love you baby but life can't wait
Imagine again
I lean a little closer just to breathe you in
Words are in bloom
They wake me with their meaning and their
Thoughts of you
I can't give you
Treasures that only men have made
But what I can give you
No one can ever take away
Twisting the day
I always lose myself so I can find your way
Promises be
They whisper all the yearning
That I swear you'll need
I've got a long way
Shut your mouth
My mother said
Don't saddle me
With selfishness
Do you feel your tongue quivering
It's moments like these I revel in
Your conversation never sticks
'Cause no truth in you exists
Yeah you bite before you lick
I love ya 'cause you're such a prick
One more time
Don't fashion me
With stylish word
Of ramblings
Do you feel my pulse lingering
Whenever I taste honey from your lips
It's a moment of purpose only you can give
Whatever I hear whatever I may see
Whatever my cause, dear, I know you'll believe
Cause you're beautiful my love when I close my eyes
yeah you're beautiful my love under heaven's skies
If ever you think careless is the night
I'll comfort you with silence till the morning light
Wherever you turn, wherever you may roam
The hour has begun
Your eyes have now opened
To a world where madness craves
To a world where hope's enslaved
Oh I tremble for my love always
Your windows opened wide
Your innocence takes flight
To a world where madness craves
To a world where hope's enslaved
Oh I tremble for my love always
It's a world where madness craves
It's a world where hope's enslaved
Oh I tremble for my love always
It's a world where madness craves
It's a world where hope's enslaved
Yeah I tremble for you love always
All around the world
Everywhere I go
No one understands me
No one knows
What I'm trying to say
No one understands me
They look at me when I talk to them
And they scratch their heads
They go what's he trying to say
But you, you speak my language
Yeah you, you speak my language
All around the world
Everywhere I go
No one understands me
No one knows
What I'm trying to say
Even in my hometown
My friends make me write it down
They look at me when I talk to them
And they shrug their shoulders
Beggar's description of what I've been missing
Exploit your position, don't think I didn't listen
Hey I hope you're feeling a little better now
Success is so tragic, pain is your gadget
Your tongue's just lashing, just bitching by habit
Hey I hope you're feeling a little purer now
Hey I hope you're feeling securer now
Help me I plea, I don't understand
Your ways and means, you smashing young man
Help me to see, the good you have planned
You're wearing thin, you smashing young man
You preach synthetic-like, peace is an oversight
It's nothing to ignite, your self-lit spotlight
Hey I hope you're feeling a little special now
Hey I want to tell you, I think you're special now
Help me I plea, I don't understand
Your ways and means, you smashing young man
Help me to see, the good you have planned
You're wearing thin, you smashing young man
I don't recall asking for guidance
I don't recall wanting to
I don't recall bowing before you
But I'm so impressed with the kindness in your attitude
Help me I plea, I don't understand
Your ways and means, you smashing young man
Help me to see, the good you have planned
You're wearing thin, you smashing young man
Help me I plea, I don't understand
Your ways and means, you smashing young man
Help me to see, the good you have planned
Morning like this
Make me feel like I could never float
Glimpses of peace
Portray all that you never could show
I'm not weakened by the fears
That you have applied
See I'm now learning in these walls
That you have supplied
Slow
Slow down boy
Slow down to control
Slow, slow
Clothed in new costumes
That weather your newfound storms
Staring through reason
Content with your newfound decor
I passed the darkened vaults of
Late doorways as if I were a king
I'm starting to feel loopy
Your dizziness consumes me
Jesus don't speak English
But I do think I understand
The rhyme and the reason
Of a goody good gentleman
If I were one I swear
I'd still be tasting your skin
The sky tonight is gracious
To rain on me your sweetness
I scream an explanation
Overseas through the air
Touched your heart down with care
All the thoughts left behind
Soon will catch you in time
Well, if I could, you know I would
Let salvation reign on you
So, won't you push away
All this pain that you've been through
Yeah, Sister don't cry
Sister don't cry no more
Sister don't cry anymore
While the scenes shuffle 'round
Let your world anchor down
Pull your heart from your sleeve
First react then believe
You won't always get thunder
To warn you of storms ahead
So bury all this pain
And get on with your life again
Conquer some serenity
Lay yourself in field of poetry
Close you eyes to all you see
Tangle up your twisted tongue. It's simple.
Mesmerize your everyday. It's simple.
Hey hey can't you see?
Love is all that you should need.
Can't you see?
Ease your troubled mind.
Let love seek & let love find. It's simple.
Ease your weary soul.
Let love lead & let love flow. It's simple.
Pry into combative times. It's simple.
Forfeit all lush concerns. It's simple.
Hey hey don't you care?
Love is all that you should share.
Don't you care?
Cleansing out your tarnished heart.
It's simple.
Learning from each other can be simple.
Hey hey don't we know?
Love is all that we should show.
She said that time is unfair
To a woman her age
Now that wisdom has come
Everything else fades
She said she realizes
She's seen her better days
She said she can't look back
To her days of youth
What she thought were lies
She later found was truth
She said her daddy had dreams
But he drank them away
And her mother's to blame
For the way she is today
Life's river shall rise
She Said
And only the strong shall survive
She Said
But I'm feeling quite weak
She Said
Will you comfort and forgive me
She Said
She said she's still searching
For salvation's light
She said she wishes all day
And she prays all night
She said she won't speak of love
Because love she's never known
She said it's moments like these
She hates to be alone
Forgive me
She Said
Forgive me
Are these times contagious?
I've never been this bored before
Is this the prize I've waited for?
Now with the hours passing
There's nothing left here to ensure
I long to find a messenger
Have I got a long way to run?
Have I got a long way to run?
Yea, I run
Is there a cure among us
From this processed sanity?
I weaken with each voice that sings
Now in this world of purchase
I'm goin' to buy back memories
To awaken some old qualities
Have I got a long way to run?
Have I got a long way to run?
Yea, I run
Yea, I run
Have I got a long way?
Have I got a long way?
Have I got a long way to run?
Have I got a long way to run?
Yea, I run
(Have I got a long way to run?)
Yea, I run
(Have I got a long way to run?)
Yea, I run
(Have I got a long way to run?)
Yea, I run
You're now thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
You're now searching
Lost in isolation from your soul
And the bullets you bite
From the pain you request
You're finding them harder to digest
And the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's well deployed
Why can't you listen?
Why can't you hear?
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere?
You now hunger
Feeding your mind with selfishness
You now wander
Aimlessly around your consciousness
And your prophecies fail
And your thoughts become weak
The silence creates necessity
And you're clothing yourself
In the shields of despair
Your courage now impaired
Why can't you listen?
Why can't you hear?
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere?
You crucify all honesty
No signs you see do you believe
And all your words just twist and turn
Reviving just to crash and burn
You're fighting till the bitter end
If only your heart could open up and listen
Why can't you listen?
Why can't you hear?
Why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere?
Why can't you listen?
Why can't you hear?
Why can't you listen
I'm out of my head
And it's not the way that I wanted to feel
This loneliness and dread
gets your attention, makes us real
I'm going nowhere and it's slowly sinking in
I don't stand a chance
Until you get me out of here
I just don't have the will to pretend
I'm running for the door
Can you get me out of here?
I really don't need anymore friends
Well turning it on
It's getting harder and harder to do
Well don't get me wrong
That's dedication, good for you
It's just your atmosphere that brings me to my knees
Not anymore
No not anymore
Don't take it bad
Don't look so sad
If I turn around and walk away
Don't take it hard
I'll try to play that part
But I'm having such a bad day
And I'm not that much fun anyway
Not anymore
There once was love thrown into your room
But you never knew
A calendar of days just for you
But you never knew, never knew no
And the truth that you'll find will always be
The truth you hide
So how do you love, how do you love
When your angels can't sing, and your world is still
Lacking of me
There once were eyes that only saw you
But you never knew
A portrait of a flower in full bloom
But you never knew, never knew no
And the words that you fear will always be
The words you hear
This space where you've been living
Has gifts you've never given
That's the face you always show
Ask me for words of wisdom
Tell me of your condition
I don't know, I don't
I don't know
And the truth that you'll find will always be
All summer
It never leaves your face
You've got the sunshine
Bright-eyed California
Cotton candy taste
[chorus]
Yeah Hollywood
You know I love you more
Than one man should
Yeah Hollywood
Kiss me kiss me good
Oh pretty stars
They love to sparkle for you
You've got that hip lock
Lay it back
Animated groove attitude
[chorus]x3
[chorus]
Yeah Hollywood
You know I love you more
Than one man should
Yeah Hollywood
Kiss me kiss me good
Well I took a little ride through the pouring rain
To think about the casualties of your exchange
Cause what you said ain't what you do
You know you live by the words you choose
Was it him, was it me
Were his lies easier than my truth to believe
Well I took a little walk through the driving rain
To catch my breath from your self-inflicted change
Cause what you said ain't what you do
I feel this storm wasn't ?? with you
And the rain comes just like a bed of nails
Yeah you give up some days
When the tears they must flow
But God is always your strength
The only strength that you know
Now everything starts to fall in place
As you wake just to crawl
Still you say good morning after all
Yeah you stand just to fall
Still you say good morning after all
Yeah you questioned this life
Sure you wondered about love
But you swear there's always hope
Always hope from above
Now everything starts to fall into place
It's just another breath
It's just another breath you say
It's just another step
She moved south as a child
She moved it from the Jersey Shore
Said she remembers the ocean
But she don't recall much more
She lived a contagious youth
Still she swears she has no past
She said she don't take love
'Cause that high it never lasts
Welcome to her world
Welcome to the world
Of my Georgia Girl
She offers up fellowship
To those that come from broken homes
Yeah she laughs in the crowds
While her heart is all alone
All the words that I want to hear
Are distorted by your weaknesses and fear
And your lies that I push away
I might accept them on your good self pity day
All of your sadness is crowded in my head
All of your madness is crowded in my head
And the peace that I really need
You substitute it for your policy of greed
Still your pride always suffocates
Any truth that your heart might want to make
All of your sadness is crowded in my head
All of your madness is crowded in my head
With all your static
I can't distinguish between what's being said
I have no room for this
You see I'm living with a crowded head
And the path that I needed shown
You left me stranded in the darkness all alone
All the promises you fed to me
I'm now choking from their taste of cruelty
All of your sadness is crowded in my head
Hey baby are you listening
I've batten all the hatches down
I've taken all of your prescriptions but no remedy I've found
Counting the Days (yeah)
Until some freedom can scream my name
Counting the Days (yeah)
Until the gods break these chains.
hey baby are you watching
I'm saddling for your side show
I never want to become precious
This life is so touch and go
Dig it, get it, dig it what your looking for?
Dig it, get it, dig it what your searching for?
Dig it, get it, dig it yeah, dig
Another day newspapers say
Life what'd you do to me
I'm always here, you're always there
Hope that's my company
Yeah stars have only so many wishes though
They can't tell what we already know
See I'm just gathering all my eyes can see through
I'm bearing witness to you
I'm bearing witness to you
Familiar words the evening stirs
Life what'd you say to me
I'm promised here, you're precious there
Love you're my destiny
Somedays I surrender
Somedays I resolve
But everyday I'd conquer
With your love
In these lazy days
I barely see myself through
I lay here comfortable
My thoughts wrapped around you
I've got a lot on my mind
It's always you every time
You're all that I know
When the sun goes down
You're all that I know
When the sun comes
Rising like the devil in me
And when tomorrow wakes
It's sure to show
You're all that I know
These quiet nights
They nurture me to a bore
The only strength I find
Is when I'm wanting you more
I've had a lot on my mind
We steal to lose every colour
From the sky
Then crawl as a child
While the shadows burn our eyes
We know there's no longer shine
On this burned out rainbow
Lately it seems we've been chasing
What times resolved
Maybe something means nothing here
After all
Whispers are now screams
This conclusion never ends
My pride with your kiss
Even angels can't defend
We know we're running head on
Into our confusion
Still we hide safe behind these crumbled walls
I can say this life is
Much better today
Everything turns right if
Wrong gets in the way
Yeah I've got the feeling
It's something I find hard to explain
See I wasn't looking
But girl I'm glad I fell in your way
Then she says oh boy, oh boy
Count your lucky stars
Count what you've been wishing for
Oh boy, oh boy
Count the life you lead
Count how you are now adored
I can say the sun
Burns much brighter today
I can see my path though
Clouds darken my way
Yeah I've got this feeling
It's something I find hard to explain
See I wasn't looking
But girl I'm glad I fell in your way
She said she was tired of
Watching me just wilt and bleed
She said I'm like Jesus
I save those who do believe
There she stumbles
Falling to her knees
I think she tripped on reality
I have witnessed
Tragic comedies
That's the world in which she leads
Well I would walk a million miles
To give her all that she needs
But she would walk a million more
To do what she believes
She'll have a perfect day
Troubles blooming
Innocence now fades
But still she's dry through
All the rain
There's no purpose
She has yet to crave
She's like the big dog on parade
Well I would walk a million miles
To give her all that she needs
She would walk a million more
To do well as she pleased
She had a perfect day
I can't figure this one out
I've no words here to explain
She'll just sugar kiss me off
Oh I'm newly calibrated
All shiny and clean
I'm your recent adaptation
Time to redefine me
Let the word out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now
Break the news out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now
Oh I'm happy as Christmas
All wrapped to be seen
I'm your recent acquisition
Time to celebrate me
Let the word out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now
Break the news out I've got to get out
Oh I'm feeling better now
The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking me down
The world's done shaking
The world's done shaking
Lack of knowledge has a source (oh boy)
Still my thoughts must run their course (oh yeah)
And they do
Does my memory comfort you
While your eyes see me through
Well it's 10 years later and still I haven't a clue
Oh I'm crying
Caution breathes a lonely breath (oh boy)
Love withstands but time must rest (oh yeah)
And it does
Does my memory comfort you
Your eyes see me through
Well it's 10 years later and still I haven't a clue
And you said
We would be golden
When we grow old
And you said
We'd never be broken
When we grow old
But if a river
Can dry to dust
I guess, the angels
We learn to trust
Can fly away
And like a mountain
Can lose it's peak
I now know
The heart can change
Its needs quietly
And you said
We'd never be parted
When we grow old
And you said
I'll see you in Heaven
When we grow old
But if a river
Can dry to dust
I guess, the angels
We learn to trust
Can fly away
And like a mountain
Can lose it's peak
I now know
The heart can change
Its needs quietly
And so goodbye
Come tomorrow
Goodbye, come tomorrow
Goodbye, goodbye
Yeah, goodbye
Come tomorrow
Goodbye, come tomorrow
Goodbye, goodbye
And you said
We would be golden
In the air I'm tasting your perfection
Forgive me dear for my misdirection
As I crawl beneath this torture you adore
I fall face to face with my scars you've ignored
So tell me why it don't feel the same
Tell me why I've got to feel this way
Yeah you leave, you're gone
And I'm left here with the blame
So tell me why it don't feel the same
All my props I swear they were in order
Even with the warnings of your thunder
Now I pause to let my silence scream tonight
While you roam like a serpent satellite
So tell me why it don't feel the same
Tell me why I've got to feel this way
Yeah you leave, you're gone
And I'm left here with the blame
So tell me why it don't feel the same
So tell me why it don't feel the same
Tell me why I've got to feel this way
Yeah you leave, you're gone
And I'm left here with the blame
Something's going wrong inside of you
Burdens bearing down and seeping through
Well, I don't want to bleed anymore for you
And I don't want to breathe any hatred too
Sitting while you world just floats around
Now you want to move 'cause it's crashing down
Well, I don't want to sing you guarantees
And I don't want to cling to our use to be's
So take your heart, take your soul
Just get yourself on out of here
Yeah, take your hurt, take your pain
Just get yourself on out of here
Wasting time
That's all you'll do if you're waiting for me
Wasting time
I don't see what you think I see
Wasting time
That's all you'll do if you're waiting for me
Wasting time
Who have I left to please?
Take what you've yet to seize.
No more questioning
'Cause love is what love should be.
Unveil to me all that you want me to do.
But why should I stop bearing allegiance to you?
See, I don't believe in
The sorcerers or the preachers.
I just believe in you.
And I don't believe in
the scholars or the wise men.
I just believe in you.
What have I left to prove?
I speak all the words you choose.
Confine me in walls of truth
'Cause love does what love should do.
No more sentence.
All of my pain has been freed.
Why should this end when your
mercy's all I need?
See, I don't believe in
The sorcerers or the preachers.
I just believe in you.
And I don't believe in
The scholars or the wise men.
There's a way to carry on
To push me out then place me back where I belong
There's a way to make anew
To resurrect the wishes that I wish for you
I'm going on and on
I'm going' for the norm
There's a way to say what you say
There's a way to say what you say
There's a way to recognize
All the pride that wraps around for my disguise
There's a way to talk me through
To open up the silence that belongs to you
I'm diggin' on and on
I'm diggin' for the norm
There's a way to say what you say
There's a way to say what you say
Find some words that you can steal or borrow
Don't give it away
Save 'em up 'cause there's always tomorrow
C'mon, c'mon
I'm going on and on
I'm diggin' for the norm
There's a way to say what you say
There's a way to say what you say
There's a way to say what you say

Today she dresses
For the change she's facing now
And the storm that's raging
A safe haven she has found
She doesn't care
What the prophets say anymore
For the love she had
She has no more
So she gathers rain
She gathers rain
To rinse away all her guilt and pain
She gathers rain
She gathers rain
To wash and cleanse and make
her whole again
Her imagination
Has started stretching wide
And her new conviction
No longer will she hide
She's not branded
When prophets speak words of fire
The same love she gives
She requires
So she gathers rain
She gathers rain
To rinse away all her guilt and pain
She gathers rain
She gathers rain
To wash and cleanse and make
Push me to the left, hold me to the right
I never know where to go
Burning that trail to the promised land
You're moving on out of control
Well I don't want to be some puppet on a string
And I don't want to learn of things you can't explain
And I don't want to have your views on everything
I just want to scream
Scream about hurting
Scream about mercy
Scream about something
Scream about nothing
Drop me in the hills, leave me in the plains
Give me some room to breathe
The words you spill, the moves you make
I find them all hard to believe
Well I don't want to be statistic industry
And I don't want to give when all you share is greed
And I don't want to have one more enemy
I just want to scream
There you go with all your might
Giving promises by decree
Well God is great and God is good
But God you'll never be
Well I don't want to be in your hospitality
And I don't want to live in false reality
See I'm the one obsessed with truth and honesty
Soon a man will kneel to pray
Soon the light will burn our shade
And with the sweet the bitter fades
So my heart and take your place
Cause I will be your force
And I will be your right
And I will watch over you like a satellite
Soon reason will have rhyme
Soon wisdom will imply
And with courage doubt subsides
So take my heart and take my pride
And I will be your side
And I will be your might
And I will watch over you like a satellite
River will flow from scenes unknown
I'll guide you through by the love I'll show
And the stars will wish upon the night
Should I thirst for knowledge
Can I beg you for some water
Should I fight your battles
Can I rest upon your shoulders
I hope I'm able to ride out this storm
So come on Gabriel and blow your horn
Reach, Reach out to me
Can't you see I need you to save me
Yeah, Reach, Reach out to me
Can't you see I need you to hold me
Should I beg for mercy
Can I be the one you treasure
Should I question knowledge
Can I have all of your answers
I hope I'm able to find love today
Can I ask you to light my way
Reach, Reach out to me
Can't you see I need you to guide me
Yeah, Reach, Reach out to me
Can't you see I need you to love me
Take me out of these walls
Take me somewhere I can see
Take me away from it all
Hitched a ride to the peaceful side of town
Then proceeded where thieves were no longer found
Can't crash now I've been waiting for this
Won't crash now I found some encouragement
Precious declaration reads
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now
Precious declaration says
I believe all hope is dead no longer
New meanings to the words I feed upon
Wake within my veins elements of freedom
Can't break now I've been living for this
Won't break now I'm cleansed with hopefulness
Precious declaration says
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now
Precious declaration says
I believe all hope is dead no longer
Once I jumped thru hoops of fire
High and far as you required
I was blind but now I see
I leave the cage wide open
I give no words of caution dear
So when you're done revolving
I only ask your presence here
In the morning when I slow
And the sun soon explodes
I need the world to be controlled
And in the evening when I leave
I need a reason to believe
In the next homecoming, yeah
I cleared the road wide open
So put your hand on the wheel and steer
Don't drain this conversation
To only fill it back with tears
In the morning when I slow
And the sun soon explodes
I need the world to be controlled
And in the evening when I leave
I need a reason to believe
In the next homecoming, yeah
In the morning when I slow
And the sun soon explodes
I need the world to be controlled
And in the evening when I leave
I need a reason to believe
In the next homecoming, yeah
Homecoming
Homecoming
I've got the sun and its seasons
Giving days only wanting to please
But I hear rhyme with
no reason
Spilling words that mean nothing to me
I'm not wanting more
Promises and
beliefs
I'm just waiting for
Someone to hear this heartbeat
I've got a soul and devotion
Giving love and a valentine
But I see life in its motion
Grinding out on every subject it
finds
I'm not running
I'm not chasing
I'm just looking for that old sensation
I'm not cooling
I'm not craving
I'm just living for some new vibrations
I'm not running
I'm not chasing
I'm just looking for that old sensation
I'm not coolilng
I'm not craving
Had a thought but it hurt
So I let it go
I let it go
See I don't need these verses
Laying down their blues on me today
I'm never here alone
I thought I heard some angel say
You'll never be alone
I know I heard my father sing
I'm never here alone
I'm never here alone
Have a scar, yeah a scar
So I let it show
I let it show show
See I don't need tomorrow
Fearing from the pain of yesterday
I'm starting back where love begins
Gonna get me those blue skies
All around me I see what weakness has made
Too much tomorrow I think I'll take all today
Am I a poison, am I a thorn in the side?
Am I a picture perfect subject tonight?
And I don't need nobody
And I don't need the weight of words to find a way
To crash on through
And I don't need nobody
And I just need to learn the depth
Or doubt of faith to fall into
Here I slumber to awaken my daze
Some find convenience in this savior I save
Am I a prison, am I a source of dire news?
Am I a picture perfect reason for you?
I don't need nobody
And I don't need the weight of words to find a way
To crash on through
I don't need nobody
And I just need to learn the depth
Or doubt of faith to fall into
And in this time of substitute
It's my needs I've answered to, all the while
And all the hope that I invest
Turns to signals of distress, all the while
I don't need nobody
And I don't need the weight of words to find a way
To crash on through
And I don't need nobody
I just need to learn the depth
Or doubt of faith to fall into
You're all I need
Yeah when the water runs deep
Yeah you're all I need
Now I cry my soul to sleep
You're all I need
You're all I need
You're all I need
You're all I need
The sky now divides
To bring you back into the fold
Welcome home
Still my need to recognize
Any comfort you may show
Only grows
Guess I'll learn to accommodate
While my heart just sits and waits
Maybe God you found
Maybe is all that you can offer now
Where am I to take refuge
When the storms of pain release
Shelter me
This blessedness of life
Sometimes brings me to my knees
I call on thee
I have not the words to write
A Farewell to you tonight
Maybe God you found
Maybe is all that you can offer now
I know hearts are weeping
While your voice is now singing
Somebody told me about a worn out distraction
That I had let slip away
Then it comes back and rides my shoulders
And it burdens me every new day
Well I'll just sit here like a slow burn out
And try to figure out how to do without you
Who's going to straighten me up when I'm leaning
Who's going to soothe my heart when it's burning
Who's going to be the one to tell me everythings
All right well goodnight, good guy
I'll break the bread of a new day and wonder
If faith will carry me along
But days are longer as my heart gets weaker and
I can only stay so strong
Well I'll just sit here like a wounded soul
Who's finding it difficult to just let go
I'm gonna let you sleep
I'll let you fade off in the night
I pray the Lord to keep
I pray the Lord to hold you tight
Drowning to discover
I'd swim but then why bother
Wrestled with decisions
And fools with their opinions
One fine morning I'll awake
To sleep some more
To define my premonitions
Last judgement and conditions
I'd have to dig in my emotions
Then relinquish my devotion
One fine morning I'll awake
Then hope to learn
One fine morning I'll awake
To love's return
Round and Round and Round
I believe love goes Round and Round
Round and Round and Round
I believe love comes Round and Round
Singing the rendition
Of hope in my condition
Caught up in defending
That truth is never ending
One fine morning I'll awake
Then reaffirm
One fine morning I'll awake
With the faces I now wear
It's only proof my thoughts
Have become impaired
And the courage I shall build
Stands at distance still
Everything is physical
Everything takes precedence
Everything's admissible
Everything is evident
And this comfort I've designed
Will only stay intact until
The truth I find
As some answers fly around
No cure have I found
Guide me, save me, teach me
I need to learn from this
Hold me, soothe me my Love
The reflection I now see
Is always trying to blind
And discourage me
But my patience shall prevail
And myself as well
Everything is comfortable
Everything's a brighter shade
Everything is suitable
Mother and child
I'm such a man for a short while
And promises be
The world just spins faster than me
(Come on, come on, come on)
And all of your friends, I hear are whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy
In beauty or beast
(Beauty or beast)
Who's my character to be
I'm now covering
(I'm now covering)
All the makeup that makes me
(Come on, come on, come on)
And all of your friends are now whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop sucking all my energy
And all of your friends are still whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy
You got it, you got it
Come on
And all of your friends are now whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop sucking all my energy
And all of your friends are still whispering
I think you left me for the government
And all of your friends, I hope are listening
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy
(Energy, energy, energy, energy, oh)
I wish you'd stop wasting all my energy
(Energy, energy, energy, energy, oh)
I never ever can remember
All the things that go bump in the night
Quietness uncovers
Betrayal now hovers
And my comfort levels not quite right
I'd love to stay and evaluate
But my torture can't wait
It seems I'm losing ground
Welcome all to my disciplined breakdown
I never ever can decipher
Who listens to the words I say
While I sense I'm searching
I never know who's lurking
To scare my sacred thoughts away
I'd love to hang and chat a while
But my mind's become vile
It seems I'm losing ground
Welcome all to my disciplined breakdown
I never ever can contribute
To finding all the faults that sustain
Never mind the answers
To who spreads the cancer
When the questioning of why remains
I'd love to sit and rationalize
But my tongue's become dry
It seems I'm losing ground
Welcome all to my disciplined breakdown
Breakdown Reality
Breakdown my ability to get it back
Breakdown honestly
Breakdown now deliver me
Took a walk to a caution scene
Guess I crossed the line somehow
And if I lost some of your hope
I'm sorry for the folly was all mine
And I don't ever really understand
All the things we say
But I try to anyway anyhow
For what's in a day of a dandy life
For what's in a day of this dandy life
Everything, Everything, Everything
Hangin' on every word
My social butterfly
Everyone wants to be loved
Loved in their own way
I can say I spent the night
On the telephone inside
When you said that every single
One of us can find a happy face
So why don't you go try
Try anyway
And I suppose I was born yesterday
'Cause I never thought of things
Quite in that way at all and in that way
For what's in a day of a dandy life
For what's in a day of this dandy life
Now I've taken the side
Of a beautiful calm
Can you see this disguise
Fading to a resolve
And there it goes my innocence
While gathering up a compliment
And here I lie with words to swear
There's something more than
The world out there
Hesitation compounds
I've nothing left to sustain
My worries here have allowed
A momentary refrain
And there it goes my innocence
While gathering up a compliment
And here I lie with words to swear
There's something more
Resonate in tones of saving grace
Separate from the Gods of hate
Alleviate all our doubting ways
Congregate to more loving days
A collection of peace where we could live
A collection of hope for us to give
A collection of words that mean we care
A collection of love for us to share
Recognize all equality
Vocalize solidarity
Exercise your tranquility
Glamorize all of love's needs
A collection of peace where we could live
A collection of hope for us to give
A collection of words that mean we care
A collection of love for us to share
She wants more she says
He wants more he says
I, want want more I say
He could take some more
She wants more she says
He wants more he says
I, I want more I say
He could take some more
A collection of peace where we could live
A collection of hope for us to give
A collection of words that mean we care
A collection of love for us to share
A collection of peace where we could live
A collection of hope for us to give
A collection of words that mean we care
A collection of love for us to share
She wants more, she says
He wants more, he says
I, want want more, I say
He could take some more
Down by the sea, I think I saw
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, our love dissolve
So plant a little seed, soon it starts growing
Shed a little light hen we'll be glowing
Hear a little tune then we'll start singing
Give a little love then love will start breathing
Out by the bay, I long to be
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, a man of peace
So plant a little seed, soon it starts growing
Shed a little light then we'll be glowing
Hear a little tune then we'll start singing
Give a little love then love will start breathing
I'm gonna breathe, I'm gonna breathe love, yeah love
I'm gonna breathe, I'm gonna breathe love, yeah love
Yeah, I'm gonna take a deep breathe for you
Down by the sea, I think I saw
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, our love dissolve
So plant a little seed, soon it starts growing
Shed a little light then we'll be glowing
Hear a little tune then we'll start singing
Give a little love then love will start breathing
Plant a little seed, soon it starts growing
Shed a little light then we'll be glowing
Hear a little tune then we'll start singing
Give a little love then love will start breathing
Breathe a little love, breathe a little love, breathe a little love
I'm gonna breathe, I'm gonna breathe
Come on now people, come on now breathe
Come on now people, come on now breathe
Come on now people, come on now breathe
Come on now people, come on now breathe
Yeah you want to
'Cause you say so
'Cause you need to
Yeah you need to need to
I don't want to
I don't have to
But you've got to
Yeah you got to got to
Could you stay in line
Do you follow what I say
Can you read my mind
Then off where you lay
Feel the water rise
Can you swim now on your own
Do you act surprised
When you hear lies you have told
Oh now
Now you're motoring
Oh now
Now you're fluttering
