Living on the riverside taking it all in my stride
Living on the riverside, I'm taking life like a big long ride
You stay on your side and I'll stay on mine
You take what you want and I'll take the sunshine
I said, "The world don't owe me no living"
I said, "The world don't owe me no living"
I said, "The world don't owe me no living"
( Rossi / Frost )
She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
She left me so downhearted there and I really cried
About mistakes I'd made and it's a crying shame
I can't believ the way they start all over again
She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
Without a word or a note, so I couldn't find
A reason for to stay where I wanted to stay
There didn't seem to me to be anyway
I got away to the city from the riverside
And it was oh, such a pity 'cos I really tried
It didn't make me feel how I wanted to feel
I turned around to be where I wanted to be
I got away to the city from the riverside
And it was all nitty gritty there, however I tried
I didn't wait to feel how I knew I would feel
I had to turn around, 'cos I wouldn't be found
Don't blame me or point your finger at me
I'm not blind and I see, don't point your finger at me
Don't you do it, don't you do it to me
Don't point your finger my way
Don't put the blame all my wayShe found me so light-hearted by the riverside
She didn't cry or try and I didn't mind
'Cos I just had to stay wher I wanted to stay
And the mistakes I made, I made them anyway
She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
And it was oh, such a pity 'cos I really tried
It didn't make me feel how I wanted to feel
I turned around to be where I wanted to be
Don't blame me or point your finger at me
I'm not blind and I see, don't point your finger at me
Don't you do it, don't you do it to me
Don't point your finger my way
Don't put the blame all my way
She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
And it was oh, such a pity 'cos I really tried
It didn't make me feel how I wanted to feel
I turned around to be where I wanted to be
She left me cold and hungry by the riverside

Riverside...........
It's Friday and my bills are due
My 3 month old baby need some shoes
Can't you feel I'm going through
Clock on the wall keeps tickin' tockin'
No stoppin' and somebody's knockin'
On the door, tellin' me to go
Brotha, I can't take no more
So with my knees, I hit the floor
And say help me Jesus, help me Jesus
Let's go down by the riverside
Leave your problems all behind
You can rest troubled minds
Down by the riverside
If I concentrate on all the bad
And all the things I wish I had
How can the dark clouds ever pass
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy comes in the morning light
God, he keeps me right
So no matter what the people say
Ain't nobody takin' this joy away
In spite of all I've been through, I can say
Thank You Jesus, thank You Jesus, thank You Jesus
Let's go down by the riverside
Leave your problems all behind
You can rest troubled minds
Down by
Let's go down by the riverside
Leave your problems all behind
You can rest troubled minds
Down by
Let's go down by the riverside
Leave your problems all behind
You can rest troubled minds
Down by
Let's go down by the riverside
Leave your problems all behind
You can rest troubled minds
Down by the riverside
Well, well, well
There's a blessin' in the water y'all
By the riverside, say what now
There's a healin' in the water y'all
By the riverside, say what now
There's a blessin' in the water y'all
By the riverside, say what now
There's a healin' in the water y'all
By the riverside, say what now
There's a blessin' in the water y'all
By the riverside, say what now
There's a healin' in the water y'all
By the riverside, say what now
Yonder goes Jimmy
He's got a new ride
See him winding on down Highway 5
Heading straight for the drive in
He's got Susie by his side
Later we'll all meet by the riverside
I can't help myself
I wanna testify
I wanna take you there
Down by the riverside
Down on the river
We got gators runnin wild
Mama said you better not go down there child
But I got a crazy feeling
And I like your style
Later let's head on down and walk a while
Chorus 3x
Where is the love to be found, oh People?
Nowhere around...
For I woke on Saturday morning
Feeling sticky and dirty after work
Took a walk down a riverside
I roll a little spliff
Sat down on a stone and start to cool off
With my burden down a riverside
For I check around the youths
And I try to teach the truth
Lay their burden on the riverside
I walk through every corner
Try to find someone to talk to but I have to
Lay their burden on the riverside
For I walk and I talk
And I linger and I search
Lay their burden on the riverside
And I walk, I met the youthman pocket
And I try to search around them
Lay their burden on the riverside
And I sat down quietly
Watch the fishes circle around the little stones
Lay their burden on the riverside
I cup my ears and I heard the little birds
Whistling in the tree like so
Lay their burden on the riverside
Live good among your neighbor
Like sister and brother and
Come with me a riverside
All you need is pray to Jah, quality
You see secret shall be revealed
Lay their burden on the riverside
(solo)
Jah provides for the birds in the air
And the fishes in the sea so what about me
Lay their burden on the riverside
Look at the crow they toil not neither do they spin
Yet father provide far them
Lay their burden on the riverside
Let us walk and talk
And pray quietly in search
Lay their burden on the riverside
Look at the color of those clothes, oh Jah
Make each and every one individually
Lay their burden on the riverside
Where is the love?
Where is the togetherness too?
Lay their burden on the riverside
I can't take the war and I can't take the shooting
Neither the looting, just
Lay their burden on the riverside
I tried around Rema
Even in The Jungle
To find a quiet rest
Round there in a Nannyville
My heart come to a trail
Lay their burden on the riverside
And I knock, and I search
And I whisper and I preach
Lay their burden on the riverside
Where is the quietness
And the love to be found in some corner?
Lay their burden on the riverside
Let us walk, let us search
Let us examine and let us see
Trading Back and forth our voice
Is something disputed here?
Focusing behind me you look white
Are you looking at something through the other side?
Nowadays you get more
difficult to understand,
Incoherently speaking of your last days
How you'll spend them
finding the blades of grass you'll lay in
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear...
Slowly your hands fade to your skull
Constantly complaining
of your discomfort
you don't look well anymore
Nowadays you get more
difficult to understand,
Incoherently speaking of your last days
How you'll spend them
finding the blades of grass you'll lay in
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?
Do you hear...
Feel them crawling
Feel them penetrate
One day I'll get your sight back to you
I thought we were supposed
Walking outside the gates of winter cemetery.
I wonder when my time will be spent beneath the dirt and leaves.
As uplifting as that sounds, I'm not about to lay down and die.
Still my heart beats to the tune of my uncertainty.
So I try to make the most of my short time here.
These run down side streets are dead ends of my insecurities.
So I try to make the most my short time here.
Our headstones won't tell the story.
They'll just engrave the ending.
(The end of you and me)
What difference will it make.
(Still my heart beats.)
What will become of us.
(Still my heart beats.)
What difference will it make.
(Still my heart beats.)
What will come of us.
Walking outside of the gates of winter cemetery.
I wonder when my time will be to sleep beneath the dirt and leaves.
As uplifting as that sounds, I'm not about to lay down and die.
Just keep your eyes on the door.
I'll have an ear to the ground.
(I'm not about to lay down and die.)
(I'm not about to settle now.)
Just keep your eyes on the door.
I'll have an ear to the ground and
Seen her get up, seen her go down
Down to the riverside
Seen her jump into the river and drown
Down to the riverside
People do just what they will
Don't matter to the river, it's running still
Sun come up, sun go down
Down to the riverside
Sun jump into the river and drown
Down to the riverside
Every day just like the last
We sit and watch the water pass
Came a day the built a bridge
Down to the riverside
Over the way, on top of the ridge
Down to the riverside
Built a bridge for people to cross
But every other day, someone jumping off
You might think some boys they got it made
Down to the riverside
They got the money and the women and a place in the shade
Down to the riverside
That ain't no way to ease the pain
I'm stuck between myself and me
Pretty sure at this time
The more I see the less I feel
But I don't want it to stop
Read my fortune
Now I can
Know you forever will be there
I'm arising
I will stay for you
And I know I will CARE
Please tell me why I still recall
Know it has to be good
It wouldn't be so hard if I
Were not so frightened for you
Read my fortune
Now I can
Know you forever will be there
I'm arising
I will stay for you

Raise me up
Don't let me fall
Cause I don't get myself
I feel like I felt before
But can't find my way
All those feelings went away
I may not be what you think I am
Think we ought to find ourselves
Think we ought to find ourselves
Again...
Raise me up
Don't let me fall
Cause it's getting so hard
I feel like I felt before
Maybe I only try?
All those feelings went away
I may not be what you think I am
Think we ought to find ourselves
Think we ought to find ourselves again
All those questions never asked
All those days are coming back to me now
Dreams that can't be realised
All those nights are coming back to me now
And I know there're coming back to you
Raise me up
Raise me up, don't let me fall
Raise me up
Don't let me fall
Cause I don't get myself
I feel like I felt before
But can't find my way
All those feelings went away
I may not be what you think I am
Think we ought to find ourselves
Think we ought to find ourselves
Again...
Raise me up
Don't let me fall
Cause it's getting so hard
I feel like I felt before
Maybe I only try?
All those feelings went away
I may not be what you think I am
Think we ought to find ourselves
Think we ought to find ourselves again
All those questions never asked
All those days are coming back to me now
Dreams that can't be realised
All those nights are coming back to me now
And I know there're coming back to you
Raise me up
Another day of talking
And I'm in two minds
I think I have to tell you
I finally realised
I know you'll never really get inside of me
But I don't mean to hurt you
Just let me disappear
We used to like it
Used to be
In the sunset time of our dream
For all these things we cannot change
We cannot be
We cannot stay
But if you lose your faith
Know that I am still your friend
And if the sky falls down
I've become resistant to myself
To my weaknesses and pain
I've become the one who wants to live
and just feel alive again
I've changed myself
I've become addicted to being strong
Started out my second life
And the remnants of your tears and smiles
Shift deleted from my mind
Without knowing how it hurtsâ¦
I feel safe
Without knowing how it hurtsâ¦
I feel safe
Is this
What I
Really
I can't take anymore
I can't breathe
I'm sick of this goddamn darkness,
Sick of sadness and tears I throw it all up every single day
Together with last night's dinner
I have lost myself completely
I have convinced myself I am someone else
For God's sake,
I need to be real
I need touch
I need⦠people?
I have to turn my life aroundâ¦
There's a place where I feel you
And I know you mean more to me
Still waiting
Still holding time
There's a place where I feel you
And I know I mean more to you
Still waiting
Still holding time
3. Dna ts. Rednum or F.Raf
Follow my name
Follow my sin
Wearing my mask
Cover my fear
All of my blame
All in my place
Wearing my mask
Cover my shame
We're so far from understand
I don't feel quite myself
I think I'm losing heart
I'm sick and tired of all those words
Voices in my head
I think I have become
Another suffering of my soul
You ask me how I'm feeling
Looking in my eyes
Hearing only what you want to hear
I'm holding my breath
Holding my time
I wish you knew how I was hurt
I'm really scared of getting lost in real life
So please stop asking me for more
Let me get this straight
Let me get this right
I need a place to be alone
I need a place to be
I need a breath to take
Don't wanna scream with my mouth shut
It leads us nowhere
Stop looking at me like that
This is not what I had in mind
I'm really scared of getting lost in real life
So please stop asking me for more
Let me get this straight
Let me get this right
I need a place to be alone
Let me get this straight
Let me get this right
Let me go
You've just helped to get me out of myself
I've been watching you
Not waiting for the right moment to make the first move
Do you want to know
Why I keep avoiding your eyes
And why I'm running away?
It's crazy, I know
I've been conceiving you for too long
Or maybe I'm destined to be alone?
Or maybe there's someone who will understand
That I'm not able to share my world?
I'm still running away
It's crazy, I know
I've been conceiving you for too long
If only I could change all things around
Still conceiving you all alongâ¦
I've been conceiving you for too long
If only I could change all things around
I've been conceiving you for too long
I've grown used to that
Part I (instrumental)
Part II (instrumental)
Part III (Again)
/she/
I stay... I swear... I am... I can...
Please take a walk with me
Let me know - Am I to blame?
As you know
I've always loved you and I know I will always love...
Part IV (I am)
I am your fear, hope
I am your grief, joy
I am your deed, word
I am your hate, love
I learn to understand
Getting harder to pretend is ok with me
In this moment I believe
And I want it so much
In spite of everything
You make me so real
I don't have to shut myself in this cage of me
I see what I haven't seen
I wanna share my place to hide
My place to feel
With You
In this moment I believe
And I want it so much
In spite of everything
I learn to understand
If only I was worth waiting for...
I have spent all my previous life
Waiting for something else to start
Now I see that I have felt so numb
To everything that passed me by
Need to go land on my own two feet
Need to change my life this way
Need to free my mind of memories
Watch them how they screw my brain
The time that has come
Convinced what I feel inside
In darkness I float
How far is the light?
Inside â fearland
Don't want you to know
Outside â fearless
I do want you to watch
Do you mind?
Would you step aside
Make way for me
Can't you see I'm dead set on doing this
Enough of dreamless nights
Enough of sleepless nights
I'm the way I am
Get out of my sight
DO YOU MIND?
You can put me in the lion's cage
You can take my soul
Give a second name
But I don't intend to stop my fight
And I'm not afraid
There's a place where I feel you
And I know you mean more to me
Still waiting
Still holding time
There's a place where I feel you
And I know I mean more to you
Still waiting
Sky above my head
Open mind
And I try to think
Think of all these words
Should have said
Didn't want to escape
From this dream
Where I want to be
And the thing that I feel
You'll never know
I am really afraid of telling the truth
And the thing that I feel
You'll never know
I am really afraid of losing you
Wish you knew how much
I've been wanting to talk to you
Still carry me
Nothing's changed
Sky above my head
For the first time
Since I lost your smile
And the thing that I feel
You'll never know
I am really afraid of telling the truth
And the thing that I feel
You'll never know
I am really afraid of losing you
I know what I'm really like...
I'm bleeding...
I don't mind...
That was very foolish of me
I can do nothing now
Light shines in the darkness
I don't wanna go
Wish I could turn back time
Oh my Guardian Angel
Take me away from here
I think I'm ready now
But still can't make up my mind
Memories of yesterday
Hopes left behind
I have to fade away now
There's no other way out
Once in the middle of the crowd
I stopped
Suddenly I felt so good
Not being on the move
But became an obstruction
In your way
And I was surprised
How fast you could unite
Against me
When you forced me to the ground
And tied my hands
Certain I couldn’t disturb
Anymore
I saw the sadness in your eyes
Your fear
And the most secret desire:
“Escape from here”...
In pursuit of uniqueness
And individuality
We must be unlike anyone else
To survive
But in the mass of different runners
Different lies
We can’t make time to realize
How the same we are
II. Hedonist Party
So let me live without your pain
Just let me live without your pain
Because I want to feel so...
It’s not right
It’s not fair
When I am forced to live your life
It’s not right
It’s not fair
When I am forced to live your life
It’s not right
Just let me live without your pain
Just let me live without your pain
Just let me live without your pain
Just let me live without your pain
Just let me live without
III. Straw Man Dance
Congrats
This time you’re a borderline pass
Here’s your reward
Now smile
After all
You conform to us
Drag on
Forget yourself in the final dance
I don’t know where to begin
Feel a cleaving in my mind
I can’t get my act together
Buzz in my head is too loud
I know something’s wrong with me
It’s starting to burn out my soul
But I feel so weird in here
When you just sit, listen and nod
All my life
I’ve been trying to deny and deceive myself
Sense of Insecurity
Restlessness
The turning out
Hatred for my inner chaos
And the color of your couch
I’ve just had this trouble all my life
Of getting out what is inside
Now I run
But cannot hide
No matter how much I do for them
No matter how much I do for myself
No matter which way I look at it
Fulfillment passes me by
Distracted inner self
On the brink of chaos
Lost its way
Impatient inner self
On the brink of chaos
Lost its way
Distracted inner self
I’m tuning out
Impatient inner self
I’m spacing out
Distracted inner self
On the brink of chaos
Follow my name
Follow my sin
Wearing my mask
Cover my fear
All of my blame
All in my place
Wearing my mask
Cover my shame
We're so far from understand
Pull myself together â holding on
Standing at the point of no return
Keeping on the right side of my heart
And the moment of truth is falling on me now
I don't care if what I want
Is written in my eyes
You can think of me what you feel
I don't really mind
How about laughing at my habits
At my needs
I'm afraid I'll stay unmoved
Know I have to be
Before you come and tell me who I am
Before you try to make me someone else
Step out of your line, out of line
Step out of your line
I don't care if what I want
Is written in my eyes
You can think of me what you feel
I don't really mind
How about spitting venom in my face again
I'm afraid I'll stay unmoved
You just waste your breath
Before you come and tell me who I am
Before you try to make me someone else
Step out of your line
Step out of line
Shall we dance my friend?
Join in the shadow dance
Join in the shadow dance
Join in the shadow dance
Join in the shadow dance
I'm standing on the edge, about to fall
In the middle of the point of no return
Trying to forget those days I failed to act
I'm not going to back out
I've come too far
I can almost see the light
Feel its warmth
And touch the moment I was waiting for so long
I carried all before me
Now the die is cast
Last time I made you up
You looked so bright
I was about to believe in angels
Searching my lucid dream
Came up against
Pictures of your imagination
Feel the pain
Im looking for you now
Somewhere far-off in my mind
I wish you told me
everything
Theres no way I can get around that
But if this is only a dream
Does it follow
One day must we wake up
But if this is only a dream
I can just
We are none of us
If I still believed in me
I would lie
If I had another chance I would try
If I lost my dreams I would blame myself again
If I were myself I would be someone else
If I didnt want to feel
I would stay
If I were myself I would be someone else
Cause I can
See the truth in the photograph
And with all thats mine
I need to look back inside
And this day
New life raced through my mind
So with all thats mine
Used to be my Panic Room
The other side of me
Where I slept and woke by turns
And nothing seemed real
I was feeding on your life
Peering through the hole
And it scared me out
Someday
You would knock on my door
Sweet shelter of mine
Im freezing without
Sweet shelter of mine
Im dying without
Cover up my twisted thoughts
Shattered all around
Muffled sounds
Recurring dreams
Melatonin smile
Used to be my 302
The other side of light
Trap of my own
That helped me deal
With what I lost inside
Sweet shelter of mine
Im freezing without
Sweet shelter of mine
Im dying without
Sweet shelter of mine
Ive tried to make self-portraits before
But they always turn out so contrived
Ive spent too much time
Correcting light and shade
Hiding wrinkles
Blurring scars
Ive tried to make self-portraits before
Through my eyes
Just see myself
Now I know
Im not in denial
That I need someone else
following every time
after she slowly waves
she doens't seem so shy
perhaps it's love she saves
consider memories
well am i ready for this?
consider everything
like a hedonist
like a hedonist
i saw something there
that i can't figure out
a waterfall, the waterfall
upon the hardwood floor
where the walls are white
still you can't be sure
of everything you write
under a quiet gaze
between out silly laugs
i've walked a hundred ways
amongst the garden paths
amongst the garden paths
i saw something...
along the riverside
hearing a summer breeze
there's nowhere to hide
beyond our empty needs
remember what you've found
maybe you'd rather crawl
i'll take the slow way down
like a waterfall
I don't feel quite myself
I think I'm losing heart
I'm sick and tired of all those words
Voices in my head
I think I have become
Another suffering of my soul
You ask me how I'm feeling
Looking in my eyes
Hearing only what you want to hear
I'm holding my breath
Holding my time
I wish you knew how I was hurt
I'm really scared of getting lost in real life
So please stop asking me for more
Let me get this straight
Let me get this right
I need a place to be alone
I need a place to be
I need a breath to take
Don't wanna scream with my mouth shut
It leads us nowhere
Stop looking at me like that
This is not what I had in mind
I'm really scared of getting lost in real life
So please stop asking me for more
Let me get this straight
Let me get this right
I need a place to be alone
Let me get this straight
Let me get this right
Let me go
Need to stay right here
I don't care if there is a better place
I must try it myself
Again
My broken sleep will never be the same
I'm only hanging on
And waiting for another night
There's sadness in my mind - ok
There's darkness in my mind - ok
What has come over me?
Can't believe, but your tears leave me cold
I'm walking through the dark
Again
And I am not afraid to be alone
Anymore
There's sadness in my mind - ok
There's darkness in my mind - ok
Thoughts echoing in my mind - ok
Huddled in the corner
Disillusioned
My lifeless stare is fixed
On your silhouettes
You’re disregarding me
Passing me by
Like I’m not even here
Maybe I’m not
Maybe I’m somewhere else
I used to be one of you
With the same spark in my eyes
And now I don’t belong to this place
It’s a matter of merciless time
I wholly vanish
The candle guttered out
The beauty elapsed
Could’ve been so wonderful
One day we could’ve met
And believed
We might live that way
Far away from the din
Envious looks
And chase for the prize
We would have remained ourselves
Without killing our feelings
Slowly
Day by day
One day we could’ve won
Without taking away
Someone else’s pride
We would have become strong
Walking through our life side by side
We could’ve missed another day
Not knowing how to talk
Where to go
We could’ve missed another night
Only... For what?
The dream went away
And you came
With your dark hair loose
Ruthless cold reality
Oh, how I hate your truth
Don’t turn your back this time
Just look at my eyes
I won’t break down
I turned you down so hastily
And it's tearing me apart
In my heart of hearts I'm screaming
In my heart of hearts I cry
And it's cold
So cold
I turned you down
Oh, I turned you down so thoughtlessly
And it's tearing me apart
In my heart of hearts I'm screaming
In my heart of hearts I cry
How I wish you told me that
I wish you'd told me that before
I wish you'd told me that before
I wish you'd told me that before
I learn to understand
Getting harder to pretend is ok with me
In this moment I believe
And I want it so much
In spite of everything
You make me so real
I don't have to shut myself in this cage of me
I see what I haven't seen
I wanna share my place to hide
My place to feel
With You
In this moment I believe
And I want it so much
In spite of everything
I learn to understand
It’s just another day of my life
In the high res next gen wonderland
I curse the sun
Getting out of bed
I hope my sell-by date
Didn’t expire yesterday
The torture porn on the red roy disc
A sweet kiss of liquid modernity
We have no time for your mistakes

Hi my friend
Shake my hand
Tell your lie
With your artificial smile
Don't be mad
I just want to help you
To say these words out loud
I don't like you cause they like you
I hate you cause they love you
I wish you ill cause they wish you well
I'm so happy when they f you
Strike a blow
For my fall
Crush me down
And just say these words out loud
I don't like you cause they like you
I hate you cause they love you
I wish you ill cause they wish you well
I'm so happy when they f you
And this is what we do
And this is who we are
Why don't you want to stop
You always see my life up against your life
I don't like you cause they like you
I hate you cause they love you
I wish you ill cause they wish you well
I'm so happy when they f you
Lying here on the floor
Starting to come around
What you did Mr. Hyde
What you got me into this time
Theres blood on my hands
Emptiness in my mind
I dont remember my name
Dont recall who I am
Whats wrong with me now
Im shying from the light
I start to realize
Feel Im falling down
Every inch of my skin
Feel the pain I saw
The self I was running away from just back!
Lost the light of day
Lost my picture of you
This nightmare I was afraid of
Just becoming the truth
Oh no
What have I done
Cant just put it all behind me
Cant afford to lose my mind
Oh no
What have I done
You dont know how much I need to
Find a way to bring you back
Lying here on the floor
Starting to come around
What you did Mr. Hyde
What you got me into this time
Drugged from sleep
In front of the mirror
Shrugging off the darkest fear
Keep asking myself the same question
When did I turn to this side of me
When did I turn to this side
I need to find a way
Even if I had my life to live
Over again
Even if I had my life to live
Over again
I would keep coming back to the same place
Waiting on the shore for me to return
Im nourished by
Your days residues
Seeing through the veil
Unclose your mind
Im the reflection of
All your waking lives
Narcoleptic sins
Unclose your mind
In the depth of me
Can control your life
With your shell around
Unclose your mind
Im your amber light
Way of passing time
Movement of your eye
Unclose your mind
Im your better life
Hidden desire
Never Neverland
Unclose your mind
We could be so good
Broken looking-glass
So much left unsaid
Fearless on top
Fearless on top
Fearland at heart
Fearland at heart
Fearland at heart
And now you will be my soul mate
Im going to make you up again
Its ok now, but
I dont know how long it needs to last Sooner or later
I will need you to come and get me out of here
Sooner or later
I will need you to come and get me
Sooner or later
I will need you
Sooner or later
Closed inside
I have my life back
Trapped inside
So welcome to the No Mans Land
Where you can finally face yourself
Fear of feeling something real
Is your friend now
Theres no need to run
So welcome to the No Mans Land
Where nothing is as it seems
Mysteries hidden from you
Six feet under
And six feet above
And to feel your heart this way
Before it gets too late
The moon began to split in half
And the darkness could be touched
Blindfolded
Youre trying to find a way
To the bottom of your soul
But I can see all your scars
That you wish you could hide
And I wont let you remember
What it was like
When you were here before
And to hear your voice again
And to feel your touch this way
Part One â From hand to mouth
From day to day
From hand to mouth
We're turning around
Vicious ritual
Getting used to it all
Falling down again
We're waiting for
The decrees of providence
I don't want to waste
Any more of my life
Live from day to day
Live from hand to mouth
Facing the light
I brush aside your plans
I'm going to have
It all my own way
And when that all shattered I felt I'd broken my fall
Couldn't pretend that I felt strong about us anymore
Without your help I finally started to live my own life
I just want you to know this time
Part Two â Secret Exhibition
I just want to feel your sigh on my neck
Want to feel your breath
Feel your need to stay
You don't know my name
Don't know my face
Only thoughts I share in my secret place
Secret exhibition
Cure for loneliness
I've ground to a halt
There's no turning back
You know there are things I just can't forget
You've helped me so much
To learn to be detached
But when that all shattered I felt I'd broken my fall
Couldn't pretend that I felt strong about us anymore
Without that help I finally started to live my own life
And I know I don't need you now
Secret exhibition
Cure for loneliness
Life is much too short to be whiled away with tears
Secret exhibition
Cure for loneliness
I erase you now
I don't need you now
I erase you now with all of my past
So afraid of rejection
Hide inside ourselves
Acting like strangers to avoid the pain
We collect our phobias
Our sicknesses
Feel so good only when we can complain
In your arms
Feels like a better us
In your arms
Dancing around the fire
Getting drunk with the night
Nobody is ever who they seem to be
Hypnos give us your hand
We so tire of this life
Need to rest and finally disappear
In your arms
Feels like a better us
Medication Time
My favorite part
Hello Rainbow Box
Need you to survive
White is for my health
Blue for happiness
Thanks to Red I live
With a shade of smile on my face
Alpha waves appeared
Ive crossed a line
Sea of memories
Feel Im going down
Achromatic day
Got choked by colored pills
I thought that I could
But the icy water closed over me
You know
Want to feel alive
Need you more
Anytime
You know
Want to feel alive
Need you more
Run through forests on a hot Summer day
Trying to break down walls of numbing pain
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me a radioactive toy
Taste the water from a stream of running death
Eat the apple and cough a dying breath
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me a radioactive toy
Feel the sun burning through your black skin
Pour me into a hole, inform my next of kin
Give me the freedom to destroy
Give me a radioactive toy
Run through graveyards on a dusty Winter day
Spit the dirt out and try to say...
Give me the freedom to destroy
Come to me now
I will host you
I’m the alchemist of our times
I know exactly what you need
You’ve climbed so high
You‘ve gone so far
So you deserve something special
Come to me now
I will cure your soul
I’m the savior of our times
I know exactly what it needs
You’ve let yourself go
You’ve felt so down
So my hi-tech salvation is just for you
Obsession
Obsession
Obsession
To be the best
The most beautiful
And above everyone
Not allow oneself to be left behind
Know what is what and what is out
Aim for excellence
And perfection you can only dream about...
Go Go Go!!!
Before my fame evaporates
I must be at the top
So I control my body
Mental state
Unable to slow down
Before the final dusk appears
I must do more than this
It’s the only way to make it through
In these hyperactive times
It’s my obsession!
Obsession...
Obsession...
Obsession...
Doggedly
At any cost
Obstinately
More and more
Can’t allow myself to stop
The ice broke
I’ll never give up
Again...
Again...
Again...
Hi, it has been a while since last time
I was certain I could live without
All those private talks I couldn’t stand
But now
The truth is
In a mood like this
Dont want to pull away from you
Dont want to hurt you
Shutting you out
Or pushing you away
In the mood like this
I want someplace that is just mine
And nobody elses
Just mine
Complete indifference
TV life instead of talk
Were drifting apart
Lipreading
And so distant now
I miss what we had
I miss someplace that was just mine
And nobody elses
Just mine
Place for me to hide
Inside of me
For you
I will be
For you
I will escape again
Wish to see in your eyes
That you want us back
There's a car by the door
Can I stay or shall I go
It'll surely be, my resort
Leave me be, leave me love
I will go
And I know where I will be tonight
Pickin' shells on the riverside
Keep the land, I once knew
In my own hands, in my own hands
Share with us, last resort
Keep the dream alive, and trust
On your own
And I know where I will be tonight
Pickin' shells at the riverside
Unto the other side, unto the other side
Come again, so close
I didn't hear you right
You're so uptight
Through the hallway, onto the doorway
Keep the dream alive
And trust, in yourself
And I know where I will be tonight
Pickin' shells on the riverside
I know where I will be tonight
Pickin' shells on the riverside
I know where I will be tonight
Shouldn't keep her waiting
I never made it
I just put it off a while
Just sleepin' at the bottom of a tree with my shoes off
I never faked it
I just do it awful well
Just dreamin' of a time when I can take another day off
Because ooh, well it's got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today
Well it's got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today
I never craved it
I never do it all
I just wake up in the morning by the tree and shake the dew off
I never saved it
I just hung it out a while
I'm not leavin' with the bottom of my feet up in a U-Haul
You know you look so pitiful
Easily critical
You shouldn't be so cynical
All from the pit of your heart
Well it's cruel the way you pass me by
Well it's hard, and it's hard
Well you've got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today
Well it's got me down
By the riverside
Got me down today
I dumped out a box of old
family photographs
spread them out across my bed
Grandpa Lou
you wouldn’t believe just how
much this place has changed
and I hate to say
that this city lost it’s shine
and the sense of style
and class it had back then
overrun with greed
spending the money they don’t have
to buy the things they’ll die before they need
I’m only sure I need a change of scenery
Every week’s the same
I can’t stand to waste another day
complaining but making no real attempt to be different
when I finally leave this town
I’ll take the interstate right down the coast
and maybe I’ll head west
to figure out the next spot to call my home
Never forget
the way the brightest stars
lit up the balcony of my apartment
on my last night
I looked up at that sky
and realized the change had been in me
somewhere along the way
started making sense of all the things I’ve heard
it’s not about where your time is spent
(darren costin)
I wanna go back to the riverside
To the place I was born
I wanna go back to the riverside
To the place I call home
You took me to the city
When I was very young
No friends and no photographs
A new life we'd just begun
And now I'm old enough to tell you
How I feel
This city life is not for me
I wanna go back to the riverside
To the place I was born
I wanna go back to the riverside
To the place I call home
You waited at home I know
For a man I knew well
Your face was so full of tears
You were quiet as well
But you'd made up your mind
That you'd had enough
And you said you had no time
So I guess things were tough enough
You took me to the city
When I was very young
No friends and no photographs
A new life we'd just begun
And now I'm old enough to tell you
How I feel
This city life is not for me
And now I'm old... old enough (x4)
Old enough to leave you
Don't want no more cities
I just wanna go home
So take me to the riverside
To the place I call home
Don't want no more cities
I just wanna go home
So take me to the riverside (x3)
To the place I call home (call home)
I wanna go back to the riverside (x2)
Don't want no more cities
I will wait for you, by the riverside
By the river
It's quiet down there at night
By the riverside
Let's fish for gold and throw off our rags
Paint a new scene where the shopping trolley snags, and we're in
Into the river
I will watch you sink, to the river bed
Ripped then washed then laid
On the river bed
I do believe that I had no choice
You have another now you're paying the price, for the high-life
Into the river
I turn back round to head for land, and saw the oyster in my hand
Spit the pearl into the sea
I paddled franticly back down, to where I left there on the ground
Where I put her jelly off to sleep
I will wait for you, to come up for air
Say my sorry's, praise the lord
It will be good to have you here
Things ebb before they flow
Just like the summer, needs to have snow
We need light, we need dark
Before you take off, you must come down
Come down, come down, come down, come down, come down, come down
Down, down, down, down, down by the river
There is life and then there is none
We need moisture, combined with the sun
So we can tap-dance
Create lights
Down by the river by the boats
Where everybody goes to be alone
Where you wont see any rising sun
Down to the river we will run
When by the water we drink to the dregs
Look at the stones on the riverbed
I can tell from your eyes
You've never been by the riverside
Down by the water the riverbed
Somebody calls you somebody says
Swim with the current and float away
Down by the river every day
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
Down by the riverside
When that old river runs past your eyes
To wash off the dirt on the riverside
Go to the water so very near
The river will be your eyes and ears
I walk to the borders on my own
Fall in the water just like a stone
Chilled to the marrow in them bones
Why do I go here all alone
Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep
And I don't know why I go the way
