[1] I took a walk the other night…
Your letter in my hand…
Strolled across the cool wet shore…
Leavin’ foot prints in the sand…
One by one I read a page…
Then slowly set it free…
I watched the tide carry you away from me
[CHO:] NOW I CAN GIVE AGAIN…I’VE HEALED THE PAIN…
NOW I CAN GO ON WITH MY LIFE….I’VE LIVED THROUGH THE RAIN…
NOW I CAN FACE A NEW DAY….I’M READY FOR A NEW START..
WIPE AWAY THE TEARS…MEND MY BROKEN HEART..

[2] Page one told me you had changed…
It blew silently in the wind…
Page two said you needed more..

[CHO:] NOW I CAN GIVE AGAIN…I’VE HEALED THE PAIN…

And I think its about time…
Put it into four wheel drive and get in it knee deep, baby your truck or mine?
Pick me up tonight…we’ll hit the road together and get out of sight
Slinging up mud and spinning round a time or two….
And we’ll be…..

I’m the boss of my own heart
Don’t…. make me love you
I’m not opposed to romance

They say…you’ve found someone to love…if only I could too…
But it’s so hard to win at love…after losing you…

Stormy for the rest of the week…and I believe he’s right…

[3] We all need a special confidant to share our inner souls…..
To laugh with us when times are good…and to cheer us when we’re low

I know it's close when
The clouds hug the mountains
Frozen reflections open up your eyes
It's time to reach out, pull me in
Take me away from sin
Because everything ends, and everything dies
And all in the midst, where is your mind?
An infinite slumber, you've never felt so alive
Until seasons change
It's safe to say there's something tearing at my feet
It's safe to say there's something after me
But I can't control it, it's safe to say
Is all this really happening?
It's safe to be in disbelief
But I can't control this
And I don't want to feel cold
The restless, wrestling of the rest of us
Now left behind; what can we make of this endeavor?
The awful, offering of honesty
That's left to come,
When it comes down, to push and shove,
What lies above, will matter the most
So do you know, what matters most?
Too much like a robbery of dignity
so quit shakin' things up
There's too much to lose darling
This is the car stalled on the railing of what is lost
This is the scream of the train catching up
Hoping and searching for what is needed
To know what the future holds
Well, I think we failed to remember
We let the media set the standards
They set us up again
With lies from the start
So what's in your heart?
This is the lead paint surrounding the lining of the brain
It's poisoning to me
So breathe, and lay your back upon the bed
The ceiling fan
Is spinning the room around
Take this all to the grave
Make it all go away
We watched the mountains, we saw them crumbling down.
We felt the earth shake, and never heard a sound.
We called for help but, but there’s no one around.
Now in the end, there’s only questions…
What did you feel? What do we know?
How can we still? Go on without hope.
I will wander around this god forsaken hole.
In hopes to find, something to take me home.
I can’t see, loosing you.
But all there is,
Is fights, so lick your wounds.
And ask yourself why…
Why…
Why…
Maybe if I blinked hard enough.
Maybe if you don’t find out.
Maybe if I said that I’m sorry.
We make our way
Up the ladder that we climb
So high
Oh, so high
And we say
That nothing will ever stop us
Now, stop us now
Because today
We've thrown all ourselves away
All just for this escape, that we create
And we'll go, anywhere you want us to
And we'll show, you all what we've got to give
It's the reason we all live
We've got the greatest gift to give
And we'll do anything
To sail this concrete sea
We're never going to stop following
White lines to shore sides
Throw away your identity
Just to chase a drea; or is it reality?
And on your way down the path, you'll stop to ask
What are we doing here?
Searching for answers left unclear
I'll wash this window clean
Pulling me down, around
There’s a splinter of light
Leaking through the darkness
And piercing through my eyes
Oh, break away, 'cause the thoughts of reason all become lost
In the end there’s no use in trying to pick up the pieces.
There’s no conversation!
There’s no, thoughts of feeling remorse!
We all have made, made the mistake of saying,
Saying who we love.
To try to find out, find out who we are.
To try to believe, believe in something real.
To try to see through, see past all of the flaws.
To try to test our hearts, to see who we truly are.
The stars surround her eyes, and our clothes keep falling down
Oh how I wish I could get out of this lifestyle.
It’s such a drug, feeling you from the inside out.
Blink yourself away this time.
What you just saw was real.
I’ve been hiding behind my mind.
Discovering ways to not feel.
Am I alive or dead?
Are these all just images playing through my head?
Then the sound escapes.
And I’m wondering how long I’ve been under.
Pull me up! I’m falling, like autumns leaves.
Would you believe me if I said. This is all a dream.
Snap back to reality.
Step back from all that we choose to see.
Look past reflections on the water.
To find, inner beauty.
Yeah I said it! Run and Hide!
They’ll burn us at the stake.
They’ll grow hungry, for a while.
But you’ll ration them with love.
And they’ll grow a passion for reaction.
While your wishing for superstitions and shaking the hand…
Shaking hands with the devil.
To see what you’re missing.
It’s not a warning.
It’s an order of events, chronologically placed.
Do you feel, in your place?
Read ahead, you’ll have to live those out as well.
So there’s no use in dwelling.
When their eyes are automatic.
There’s comfort in knowing people care,
So come on baby, you know me, I can’t wait to bail…
Why are we running away, from what doesn’t exist?
When coldness wraps this suffering clay,
Ah! Whither strays the immortal mind?
It cannot die, it cannot stay
But leaves it's darken'd dust behind
Then, unembodied, doth it trace
By steps each planet's heavenly way?
Or fill at once the realms of space,
A thing of eyes, that all survey?
Eternal, boundless, undecay'd,
A thought unseen, but seeing all,
All, all in earth, or skies display'd,
Shall it survey, shall it recall!
Each fainter trace that memory holds,
So darkly of departed years
In one broad glance the soul beholds,
And all, that was, at once appears.
Before creation peopled earth,
Its eye shall roll through chaos back;
And where the furthest heaven had birth,
The spirit trace its rising track
And where the future mars or makes,
Its glance dilate o'er all to be,
While sun is quench'd or system breaks,
Fix'd in its own eternity
Above or love, hope, hate, or fear
It lives all passionless and pure
An age shall fleet like earthly years;
Its years as moments shall endure
Away, away, without a wing
O'er all, through all, its thought shall fly;
A nameless and eternal thing,
