You took that last corner too fast
Careened up against the side wall
For a moment everything went black
Woke up inside somebody else's hideaway in a distant place
Don't know your name or know this face
And what you don't know hurts you so
It can only be that way
Feel yourself becoming someone else
We may yet see that light at the end of the tunnel
If we can find a way to keep things under control
The web of life connects each of us to the other
So it's no use pretending that you alone run the show
Just like a moth too close to the fire explodes
Though the myth is exposed
You're still looking for windows in the sky
Supernatural paradise is the place you are looking for
All you need is a miracle divine
All that's left is you alone
Loneliness is all you own
Windows, to the world are what we're looking through
Who knows, if what we find is true
Seeing, is believing as some people say
Knowing, is to get a better view
For the windows of the world
Are never open all the way
And the voices of the past are not forgotten
Till you leave it all behind you
You will never see the day
'Cause your life is on the line
Tasting, of the wine of some forbidden fruit
Reaping, the sorrows that we sow
Reaching, to the stars will never bring us home
Teaching, what we really could not know
For the windows of the world
Are never open all the way
And the voices of the past are not forgotten
Till you leave it all behind you
You will never see the day
'Cause your life is on the line
Touching, we are moving to the things we feel
Trying, to be what we could never be
Turning, if we'd only open up our hearts
Yearning, for the things we cannot see
And the windows of the world
Are never open all the way
And the voices of the past are not forgotten
Till you leave it all behind you
You will never see the day
'Cause your life is on the line
[hook]
if your eyes are the window to your soul
open eyes when you're cold
if your dreams keep you warm in night
baby just keep 'em closed
if your eyes are the window
i can sneak in at night
in your eyes i can see your soul
staring back into mine
[verse 1]
she was a beautiful rose
from the concrete and heat she grows
in the dark room her life was exposed
her picture of men, we walk on all fours
heart opened and heart closed
every now and then she sparkles
you can tell she was hurt by the words that she chose
i'm thinking like lauryn, a rose is still a rose
even when the door close, there grows a new one
i told her it's some good men, she asked me if i knew one
her daddy left a hole because she never really knew him
ok sometimes from commitment, we do them
rocking lou vuitton, said she focused on the christian
i'm speaking to her trying to enhance her vision
but not to be married with kids she was wishing
shhh, 'til your soul just listen
[hook]
[verse 2]
she said daddy take me ice-skating
looking at the rear-view, life's waiting for her
gotta be there to support her
can't really wait for a court order
she got the type of aura that's fun and vibrant
a lot of love inside, got to help guide it
daddy will protect it, god will provide it
we all will be there so your soul ain't divided
man, how quick she grows
looking like her momma but she got my toes
i suppose it's the age that she really really need me
a lot of girls without, they become needy
"c'mon dad, i'm too old for the back seat
can you come and get me, are you coming to my track meet?"
as she begins the race of life and love i told her
Yeah, oh
You count every word I say
Over again you might find a way
Seven verses to magnify
Drop the feathers you will never fly
Tapestries of black and gold they're crying
Looking through the windows I am watching you
You as you go by
Turn on a wave of fire
Your pale skin cant turn any whiter
Grab a wheel sing a bitter tune
Never stops to forget you've seen
(repeat chorus)
Walk along a lonely mile
Saw a bird falling at my feet
Crawling like a wounded child
Moving farther out of reach
Don't wanna be alone, no
Come on, come on, come on
You count every word I say
Over again you could find a way
Seven verses to magnify
Drop the feathers you will never fly
Sail the winds of time
See your life as it unwinds
Hold up the looking glass
Look inside and see the past
If not a word was said
Did they see Him in your head
If His name was never heard
Through your life did they wanna learn?
Oh, did His love show
Oh, did anybody really know?
The only Jesus they'll ever see
Is the One in you and me
The only Jesus they will know
Is the One that lives inside our souls
Been too much wasted time
Look in your heart, I'll look in mine
We all want what's real
But sometime's it's so hard to feel
Oh, I see the world out there
Oh, it takes someone who really cares
The only Jesus they'll ever see
Is the One in you and me
The only Jesus they will know
Is the One that lives inside our souls
Not what we say but what we do
Are the widow's where your life shines through
Turn your eyes from the window so you won't see this world
The walls are closing inward, there's nowhere left to turn
You want it, you need it, the words slip away
Your crying your eyes out, your mind wants to break
Your heart is your weakness, your song plays endlessly
Wonder how you sleep
All your houses crumble
Shadows begin to howl
Spiders on the rooftops
The trapdoor's in ourselves
You want it, you need it, the words slip away
Your crying your eyes out, your mind wants to break
Your heart is your weakness, your song plays endlessly
Wonder how you sleep, it's a wonder to me
So how's it going to feel
When you don't know what's real
You tell yourself it's love, then tear your insides up
So how's it going to feel
When you don't know what's real
You tell yourself it's love, then tear yourself apart
Senses all been fractured
The traitor's in your sights
The hours spinning backwards
There's nowhere left to hide
You want it, you need it, the words slip away
Your crying your eyes out, your mind wants to break
Your heart is your weakness, your song plays endlessly
Wonder how you sleep, it's a wonder to me
So how's it going to feel
When you don't know what's real
You tell yourself it's love, then tear your insides up
So how's it going to feel
When you don't know what's real
You tell yourself it's love, then tear yourself apart
How many people must learn
How many roads must you turn
There's something hiding below
How many tears must you cry
How many buried inside
Until you finally let go
How many years must you fight
How many stories survive
Until the tables will turn
How many days must you brave
How many years must you pay
We don't have to speak another word
Let's stay in the moment,
Here for good,
Come baby lay your body down,
Next to mine,
Hold me forever,
Wish you would,
Take me by the hand and lead me down the wrong way,
Let our dreams take flight,
All of your questions,
Will be answered tonight,
So if you want to know,
What's in my heart,
Look through the windows,
The windows to my soul,
If you want to know,
Just who I am,
Look through the windows,
The windows to my soul
Well way beyond the spoken word,
The truth cannot be told,
By anybody else out there,
Only the two of us in silence,
If we close the door to the world out there,
If we dare turn out the light,
All of our questions,
Will be answered tonight,
So if you want to know,
What's in my heart,
Look through the windows,
The windows to my soul,
If you want to know,
Just who I am,
Look through the windows,
The windows to my soul
Look into my eyes baby,
Tell me what you see,
Do you see the future laid out for you and me,
Look into my eyes baby,
Tell me what I feel,
Do you see the love I'm waiting to reveal,
If you want to know,
What's in my heart,
Look through the windows,
The windows to my soul,
If you want to know,
Just who I am,
Look through the windows,
cause i cant feel what you feel im afraid to see whats real cause one cant go on, go on being beat upon and i cant even see how lucky it is to be me and i feel ashamed because your life is my worst dream through windows we look but when cannot feel the anguish suffering and harsh ordeals, no sense, no sense of empathy, is this thw way the way it has to be, and you you look to me for sympathy but what can i say i might know if i felt the pain but we just look away ignore the pain through windows must break the pane through windows i see you
Uh-ohh
Every single night im staring in her window
(de da da da doe doe doe)
Shes fresh in a towel and the lights are dimmed low
(de da da da doe doe doe)
If you seen, what ive seen, shes a 10 yo
(de da da da doe doe doe)
You would be, (aaaaah) staring in her window (the back of the windows to the soul)
You would be, (aaaah) staariing in her windooow!
Uh-ohh
My best friend said I couldnt do this no more
(de da da da doe doe doe)
Im like thats the reason very different from my friends so..
(de da da da doe doe doe)
Coz you seen, what ive seen, shes a 10 yo
De da da da doe doe doe)
You would be, (aaaaah) staring in her window (the back of the windows to the soul)
You would be, (aaaah) staariing in her windooow!
Uh-ohh
(de da da da doe doe doe)
(de da da da doe doe doe)
Look at her, shes my medicine
In those magazines, and all that oestrogen
I bet she liked me, but my conscious says to guess again
If she ever did, I would be ready then
The best time to watch is like 1 or 2 O'clock
In a fuckin world she gone come over and rock
I wonder if she'll be down with it a lot
Shes taking off her clothes...
And bout to close to win-dow
Uh-ohh
Shes like the bill through my gates that was entitled Windows
(de da da da doe doe doe)
She said "dont go micro-soft, your liking when i've been low, (dont cha, dont cha)"
(de da da da doe doe doe)
I said, if you see, what you mean, cause thats my twin yo
(de da da da doe doe doe)
And erm, we see u starin in our windows damn.
They caught me staring in her windooow!
Uh-oh
Uh-oohwoaho
Eternal, now you live a dead lie
Plague years, a walk down the trail of misery
Put fire to your soul
Set it ablaze
A lunatic music, the end of flock kingdom
Sheep, you thirst for our insanity
Windows, sharp, cold
Wrap your psyche in blankets of pain
No more light of day
We're the windows to your insanity
Screaming, roaring, we'll alter your reality
Dancing razors cut your sanity
Windows, sharp, cold
Wrap your psyche in blankets of pain
Fuck you, light of worlds
We're the windows to your insanity
Reflections in the shattered glass
Look at all those apartment windows glaring in the night
In all of those building rooms so many different lives,
and even more then stars that shine,
They light the sky, Light up the sky.
Don't you need someone?
Like I need somebody.
Don't you need someone?
I know you're lonely.
As all the lost lover's homes glow...
I wish just one...It was mine.
Don't you need someone?
Like I need somebody.
Don't you need someone?
I know you're lonely.
How can two souls live so separately.
Two hearts alone in such tragedy.
Vacant street signs point to where to find other strangers
stuck in this state of mind.
All their feelings hidden (stuck behind) faces
Not windows (with glass that you can see inside)
Don't you need someone?
Like I need somebody.
Don't you need someone?
I know you're lonely.
How can two souls live so separately.
Two hearts alone in such tragedy.
If you only knew, that only you is good enough.
If you only knew, that only you is good enough.(Two hearts alone)
If you only knew, that only you is good enough.
If you only knew, that only you is good enough.(Two hearts alone)
Don't you need someone? (I need you, I need you tonight)
Don't you need someone? (I know that you'll hold me)
How can two souls live so separately.
Two hearts alone in such tragedy.
Don't you need someone?
Like I need somebody.
Don't you need someone?
Something feels so strange tonight
It's not wrong but it's just not right
Some hidden complications, fill me with hesiatation
And it gets so dark in here
I can't see through doubts and fears
Walled in by expectation, I need a deviation
Change in perspective, alternateive view
To help me see clearly, observe something new
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
Outside the world's so dangerous
It's hard to find someone to trust
Fills me with reservation deives me into hibernation
I watch what's going on
But I don't want to belong
Leave me in my introspection
Safely behind protection
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
Looking through windows at the world
Looking through windows at the world
Safe behind windows from the world
Safe behind windows from the world
Watching my window world go by
Just watching my window world go by
Without my window who am I
Without my window who am I
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want
All I want is a window to look through
All I want
All I need is a window to look through
All I need
It's the only thing that I really wanna do anyway
All I want is a window to look through
All I need is a window to look through
There's no windows in here
They boarded them all up last year
I'm white as a fish in the sun
And hard as the butt of a gun
Bent over sweating
Steal all that I can and still look in the mirror
You're nobody after you're gone
What are you gonna do when you get off?
I'm gonna drink til I drown
I'm gonna spin my car tires around
I'm gonna swear and I'm gonna fight
I'm gonna fall asleep holding you tight
The foreman retired last week
Paid out, speechless and frayed
Morning spent waiting to sleep
Wake up too tired to sleep
Bent over sweating
Dream all that I can and still manage to breath
You're nobody after you're gone
What are you gonna do when you get off?
I'm gonna drink til I drown
I'm gonna spin my car tires around
I'm gonna swear and I'm gonna fight
Rainy Sunday
There's a gray November in her eyes
Hopeful Monday
Just the kind that cannot tell you lies
Busy Backstreet
All alone she sits and dreams of you
In the backseat
It's the only place she feels renewed
With her toes curled
She writes down all the things she meant to say
In her own world
Caught up in the shame of yesterday
Lost for miles
Takes her thoughts and throws them all away
Rarely smiles
If I only knew I'd found a way
With her toes curled
She writes down all the things she meant to say
In her own world
Caught up in the shame of yesterday
Open your window and let her come into your heart
In a white sheet
Bowed in bed she cries herself to sleep
On a cold street
Out the window in a lonely heap
With her toes curled
She writes down all the things she meant to say
In her own world
Caught up in the shame of yesterday
* {*Intro: beat starts and Detective speaks*)
[Detective]
Point her out to me
Oh that's her
Not bad!
Not bad at all
Let me talk to this bitch
Hello
[Girl]
I have drinked enough booze to tell me I could use a big stiff dick right now
[Detective]
God damn baby you just met me let's get to know each other more
[Girl]
What difference doe's it make either you want to fuck or not
[First verse]
Eh, these Ho's be crazy
That's why I ride away to the hide away bumpin' Isaac Hayes
Seat back reclinin' in the 'Lac
My mind on my scratch
The beat gatt right on my lap imbibed n' no trap
I'm cold in fact, I hold the gat
Ain't never told the rat where the dossier at
I kept my composure
I popped the clover hopped in the rover
n' drove like a soldier on four king cobra's
Seen her house n' pulled over
Motorol'ed her like "come out side"
Fuck where we about to go let's ride
This ain't no punk bitch
When I met her she had on that louie sweater n' them tailored made manolo's
A nigga knew he did her 'cause I'm in ta' dat
I'm like (" wus doe's blonic's ?")?
Fired up the chronic
Sipped the tonic
“Happy Hanukkah!"
She knew what I wanted when I was on to her
She hoppin' in the range now
So I can feel my bond with her
N' we ain't even got to leave the car
Got the T.V.'s the camera's n' the V.C.R
'Bout to make her a star!
Y'all know the deal
When your fuckin' freak ho's in your automobile
[First Chorus]
Come on let's fog up these window's
Turn the bump n' blaze a little endo
I wanna fuck but I don't wanna spend dough
You know the deal!
Baby
Let me fuck in the automobile
[Second verse]
Eh,I love L.A. Ho's
I met this broad named Jodie
She used to drink forties with a little bit a stollies
Picked her up
Ran up in the broad in the rent a car
Soon as I was finished dropped her off on Laseanaka
Rollin' in a ol' skool on goe's
Ho's jockin'
Cause they ain't knowin' this shit's stolen
Pull it ta' tha liquor store
Actin' like I need something
Turned out
Left the car runnin' n' the beat bumpin'
I catch Ho's like I'm riding a stretch Roll's
Dipped in my best clothes
Sippin' on X.O
But no!
It's white tee shirt n' Jabo's
Or the creased Levi's, the five-o-five's
Hat pulled down over my eyes
You know the size of runnin' your chop's
Don't broadcast or televise
To none of them dude's!
Fuck her hard to chill
Just keep bumpin' bad broad's in your automobile
[Second Chorus]
Come on let's fog up these window's
Turn up the bump n' blaze a little endo
I wanna fuck but I don't wanna spend dough
What's the deal?
Baby!
Let me fuck in my automobile
Come on let's fog up these window's
Turn up the bump n' blaze a little endo
I wanna fuck but I don't wanna spend dough
What's the deal?
Baby!
Let me hit it in my autobile
[Third verse]
You can catch me slumped low in a 'vette
With a Ho n' mowet
She throwin' a fit 'cause I ain't stoppin' or going ta' get
Ridin' high in the 'burb n' never touchin' the curb
Trying ta' roll a dutch n' I swerve n' cut in your lane
Getting brain in the rain
We starin' in the Lebaron
But the bitch jus' looked n' laughed
She ain't carin'
Like this one little freak that I bumped at Roscoe's
Fucked her shotgun had that ass on the console
(Break down?) to a bus
The shit stay real
When your fuckin' wit them bitch's in your automobile
I pulled up in a seven douce cutty with knock
Ten gee sound system
Everything else stock!
Baby girl in the passenger seat keep axin' ta' eat
I kept mean muggin' n' blastin' tha beat
Probably shoot her through the “drive-thru"
You know the deal!
When your fuckin' mad bitch's in your automobile
Final chorus
Come on let's fog up these window's
Turn up the bump n' blaze little endo
I wanna fuck but I don't wanna spend dough
You know the deal!
Baby
Let me fuck in my automobile
Come on let's fog up this window's
Turn up the bump n' blaze a little endo
I wanna fuck but I don't wanna spend dough
You know the deal!
Baby
Let me hit it in my automobile
She looked at me so sad and said, “no, nothing, no I just can’t make sense. Not sure of anything or who I am, and if I’m sure I’m sure of that.” I let the silence sing. “I want to tell you everything, all about how this last year has been.” Well I can’t say I know how you feel. I let the silence sing. In being here, I find some peace. In the face of everything, I find harmony. How can I say that in a way that you’d believe? I let the silence sing.
How can we bridge the path from dark to light
If we live like the rest of them?
Can we portray his love?
We are the Window
What we do is for you
Can we be your hands?
Burn these walls to the ground!
Let your light shine through this veil of darkness
Burn these walls!
Let your light shine through
Cause we are the Window
We must set our own hearts
Straight to lead the weak
We give ourselves to you oh Father
To see the truth within in your hands
Oh God take it all
Fill my lungs
Give me life
We were hollow men
So many windows
I'm standing naked there inside
All eyes can see me
And there's no way to pull the blinds
I can't deny what I've confessed
I cannot run from how I feel
So be the shelter in my strife
Come remind me I'm alive
You stop the bleeding
And kiss away the tears that fall
Light up the shadows
And help me climb over my walls
And I'm not sure how much you know
How much your light has helped me grow
And you're the only one
Turn off the light
Bring on the night
I need to be unseen
I can't escape the wind biting its way in
Through all of my windows
It's never easy
I know, with all that I demand
It's not a given
All the burden you withstand
But I'm so grateful that you do
And maybe this is overdue
I know it's true, my Love
Turn off the light
Bring on the night
I need to be unseen
I can't escape the wind biting its way in
Through all of my windows again
Don't trust your eyes
Don't read my plight
Don't ask me what it means
My blessing and my bane
It calls me out by name
Carving out new windows
So many windows
They leave me naked here inside
All eyes can see me
I have to laugh at inside terror
To survive another day
The trying, the selling of my soul and my fall from grace
You see the darkened streets reigning gamblers are dealing insecurity
And I am tempted to
Painting everything invisible
Creating a simple life
Walking by the open windows keeps me from cement angels
Walking by the open windows keeps me from going outside
Stepping through the mirror shared
Cutting me like sickening fire
I know the tools to break into the danger zone I?ve created
And I am tempted to Painting everything invisible
Creating a simple life
Walking by the open windows keeps me from cement angels
Walking by the open windows keeps me from going outside
If the water falls right into you
If you have to know what you?re gonna do
To get out
It?s the waterfall you have to do
If you need to say what they put you through
To get out
If you have to know what you gonna do
If they have to see what they put you through
I have to laugh at inside terror
To survive another day
The trying, the selling of my soul and my fall from grace
You see the darkened streets reigning gamblers are dealing insecurity
And I am tempted to
Painting everything invisible
Creating a simple life
Walking by the open windows keeps me from cement angels
Walking by the open windows keeps me from going outside
Stepping through the mirror shared
Cutting me like sickening fire
I know the tools to break into the danger zone I€™ve created
And I am tempted to Painting everything invisible
Creating a simple life
Walking by the open windows keeps me from cement angels
Walking by the open windows keeps me from going outside
If the water falls right into you
If you have to know what you€™re gonna do
To get out
It€™s the waterfall you have to do
If you need to say what they put you through
To get out
If you have to know what you gonna do
If they have to see what they put you through
To get out
’ve been around these fields and fires
I’ve been scorned by love’s desires
These old wheels take me across town
This is just a starting back
All the years spent watching clocks sets
Got me wondering, spinning around.
All I want is to keep on watching
These scenes and easy miles as they’re calling
And you in the front seat
The sound of falling
As the world goes by
These windows I just want to keep watching
We headed off to inri
We Watched stellers on the balcony
From our fenced in little backyard
You said that times were getting though
And I said yes they are my love
But you can rest now I’ll keep guard
All I want is to keep on watching
These scenes and easy miles as they’re calling
And you in the front seat
The sound of falling
As the world goes by
These windows I just want to keep watching
Yeah, oh woo oh hey yeahh
In my shirt pocket I carry these dreams and
There is a certain twilight seems
But sometimes I get lost with all the other things
There’s a light post across the street that
Gives off thin light blue-ish green
And I wonder; have we heard the reckoning?
The reckoning….
All I want is to keep on watching
These scenes and easy miles as they’re calling
And you in the front seat
The sound of falling
As the world goes by
These windows I just want to keep watching
All I want is to keep on watching
These scenes and easy miles as they’re calling
And you in the front seat
The sound of falling
As the world goes by
These windows I... oh yeah-y yeah
