Last thing I remember
I was standing on a hill
Shaking out my long black hair
I heard the song of an angel
Rising from the trees
I made my way to the source
And it was gone
Now here I am
I don't recognize this village
Where things are made of
Glass and metal
A man is walking toward me
And he's looking pretty strange
He says, "Girl, I think you've
Come to the wrong century"
Now let me get this straight, Man
Not only am I woman
But I'm stuck in this spooky world?
Where everybody moves too fast and
Where are all the trees?
I don't think I can live
In this wrong century
Get me out of here
Show me to my homeland
Get me out of here
I miss my hill
I will not live in fear
Of self-destruct
I am a peaceful man
I don't think I can understand
This
Is this where it stands now?
Must I remain
In this grey and dismal year?
It's plain to see I'm a foreigner
It's clear I do not blend
Still I make a home
In this wrong century
Get me out of here
Show me to my homeland
Get me out of here
I miss my hill
I will not live in fear
Of self-destruct
I am a peaceful man
Gentle man
Get me out of here
Show me to my homeland
Get me out of here
I miss my hill
I will not live in fear
Of self-destruct
I am a peaceful man
Gentle man
I don't think I can understand
This

I am transparent
An open book
There's no choice in the matter
But the breath from my mind
Is living air
And the notes from my heart
Are what I share
Words weren't made for cowards
There's not much to hide behind
We can see for a mile
Without our eyes
I can see through a smile
To any lie
Must I pry your lips apart?
And look for thoughts
Look for thoughts
Beneath your tongue
So you think nothing said
Is nothing lost?
Well, I would buy every line
At any cost
Do I have to dig?
Do I have to prod?
Reach into your chest
And pull your feelings out?
Are you dancing dead?
Or maybe walking toast?
If you feel anything
Be brave
Come forth
Let it show
Tell me what d'you think of life?
Tell me do you think at all?
Never fear
There's a place
Where you are safe
Where you don't have to be real
Or have a face
My time's too short to waste on
Things you say without your brain
Will you paint works of art
When you speak?
When you open your mouth
Will I weep?
Do I have to dig?
Do I have to prod?
Reach into your chest
And pull your feelings out?
Are you dancing dead?
Or maybe walking toast?
If you feel anything
Be brave
Come forth
Let it show
I will watch you like a hawk
Wait for you to make a slip
Think it's easy to fake what you know?
You'll never fool anyone
With your little show
You are transparent regardless of
All the efforts made
Efforts made to mask your face
You reveal everything in a phrase
You conceal what your mouth betrays
Do I have to dig?
Do I have to prod?
Reach into your chest
And pull your feelings out?
Are you dancing dead?
Maybe walking toast?
If you feel anything
Be brave
Come forth
Let it show
Do I have to dig?
Do I have to prod?
Reach into your chest
And pull your feelings out?
Are you dancing dead?
Maybe walking toast?
If you feel anything
Be brave
Come forth
Let it show

I stepped on a life
A living emotion
I murdered the concept of devotion
Oh lord..lord..let me die
Or let me live not another lie
I crushed a soul
A soul like mine
Oh lord, what was in my mind?
Oh lord
Where..where do I go from here?
Oh lord..oh lord
Let me get it back
The heart inside
Let me live again
Give me back my pride
All the faith that you had
Can be born again
Despite the bad ways of the girl
With the purest of hearts
Can you believe she's making a start?
Baby I want to live
I'm not ready to die
Don't want to make my precious few cry
Oh lord
Where..where do I go from here?
Oh lord..oh lord
Oh lord while I'm young
Don't take the breath from my lungs
I will start again
Oh babe with all of my friends
They will trust in me lord
Until the very end
I stepped on a life (I stepped on a life)
A living emotion (A living emotion)
I murdered the concept of devotion
Oh lord
Oh lord..lord
Let me die or let me live

In the red
All the cruelty dealt
To one big soul
In the black
All the hiding from
The pain in the dark
Now as I go into battle
I am armed for the fight
With the knowledge of ten men
Strength of nine
As I walk through fire
I am shielded from the flame
Although the guilty parties
Take no blame
Don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
Those years are lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint
Every line
Represent the death of naivete'
In the air
Every eagle drop one feather
Just for me
There is a deafening warcry
And it's ringing in my ears
It is drowning out floods
Of noisy tears
On the path behind me
I leave many gravesight
Every tombstone
Mark one conquered night
So don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
Those years are lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint
Don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
No those years are lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint
Don't try to tell me there's no
Reason for any moment in time
Every memory of mine
Those years, they're lines of
Color on my face
My past is warpaint
The past is warpaint
And I fight to the death

We're waking up
Yes it's good
We're waking up
Like I knew we would
There's a breath of hope
For everyone to share
There's a growing force
Of people who care
In all the years of struggle
It seems we're making way
I have never been afraid to
Change the circumstances
Of the world
Cobwebs everywhere
It's time for a deep sweep
We're waking up
Yes it's clear
We're waking up
Dawn is here
Feel the searing heat of
Heightened consciousness
Feel the yearning for
Peace and happiness
For all the times I've wished
That we would finally
Come around
I have never been afraid
To change the circumstances
Of the world
Cobwebs everywhere
Time for a deep sweep
We're waking up

We're waking up
Like I knew we would
There's a breath of hope

Change the circumstances

On the brink of complying
I'm very slow
And I say to myself:
"Oh no, don't go
Well I like you the way you are
So please don't change
Don't you know that your mind could rearrange?"
So today it starts and tomorrow it ends
I lost my soul and I lost my friends
So today it ends and tomorrow it starts
The brooding of a million hearts
Music's the way, the only way I know
It's time to let the brooding heart
Choose the way to go
'Cause love is not the answer
It's never here to stay
What's here through the night
May be gone by day
On the brink of attack
I'm society prone
And they're telling me:
"You should find out what is wrong"
I think I'm alright
I'm still putting up a fight
But I keep on losing
Soon I'll be dying of fright
On the brink of insanity
I see my friend
And I'm trying to tell him:
"It can't be the end
Well, you've made me live
Now you've got more to give"
If he goes o'er that brink
Who will I cry with?
Because music's the way, the only way I know
It's time to let the brooding heart
Choose the way to go
'Cause love is not the answer
It's never here to stay
What's here through the night
May be gone by day
What's here through the night
May be gone by day

Ooh rainlover
You're the one
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Be my love
Ooh rainkeeper
Does your heart..
Does it overflow with fear?
You and I could cry a sea
'Cause I'm the other side
Know where you hide
I'm there
So be wary of me rainlover
In my dreams
You are lying by me
And we're free
Ooh rainmaker
Do you know..
Do you know where my love goes?
Only mother knows
That I'm the other half
The psychopath
I'm here
Better fear me
Your other side
Know where you hide
I'm there
So be wary of me rainkeeper
Time to die
And she wants you by her side
Forces to collide

i'm on my way
i can feel it coming on
my brain's been strained of all reality
i'm on my way
to the funnyfarm
and when i go i'll bring with me
both of my bros
i've lost my way
through this world of profanities and
i thrive on the wind and the rain and the cold
i've lost my way
through this world of profanities
and i'll not find it before i'm very old
i need reassurance that i'll always be insane
i want my teddy bear to lay on
and when i go
i'll be efficient at making ashtrays
when i go
i'll do nothing but catch me moonrays
For I know what you don't know
And I see things you'll never see
And I've a different way of living you know
And I've such a different frame of mind

I don't remember her face
Or why I was there
I just remember feeling angry
Something made me hate her
I had to suffocate her
My common sense
Spoke of no consequence
But I want to live
I want to live
In your world
I am evil
I am brutal
So you say you must
Be rid of me
It frightens you
To look at me
'Cause when you do
What you see
Is a reflection of yourself
And your society
But I want to live
I want to live
In your world
For the man who steals
A piece of bread for his children
Shall we cut off his hands?
Yeah...that'll show him
For the man who speaks
His mind to the sentry
Shall we cut out his tongue?
Yeah...that'll teach him
I want to live
I want to live
In your world
This isn't justice
This is revenge
It doesn't work
It doesn't end
What of the man
Convicted innocent?

Mine are like the wings of a butterfly
A dusty pair so,
Don't you touch them or I'll never fly anywhere
And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
Ever see the wings of a dragonfly?
Paper-thin and cellophane
And quickly broken like the will to live for a mind in pain
And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
I cannot change what is and
I cannot make it die
But I can love with all my heart
The wretches gone awry
And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
You know I can be rid of my time and the moon will always shine
'Cause he knows I need him to walk this vile and crooked line
And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
And you can own all the light in the world and still be blind
And lie and hide away from the people in the world and still be kind
And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
I cannot change what is and
I cannot make it die
But I can love with all my heart
The wretches gone awry
And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
All I ask is you let me be to live like I do
I'll never be part but someday I will pass on through
And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
You can pull the wings from a dragonfly
And you can kill the flight of a butterfly
But you can't harm me for I live with the freedom to decide
And the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by
You cannot change what is and
You cannot make it die
But you can love with all your heart
The wretches gone awry
You cannot change what is and
You cannot make it die
But you can love with all your heart
The wretches gone awry
Yes the wretches have gone awry I saw them walk on by

There is no sun

There are no dreams (Mikey)
There is no sleep

I thought I wanted to die
But I barely had the time
And isn't it funny
How I didn't even
Have the money
To say goodbye?
What the perfect irony
And with this man
I want to see the land
But is my mind even?
Oh I must choose to believe him
Or say goodbye
What the perfect irony
And I want to love
It's all I'm thinking of
But isn't it sordid
How my dreams can become distorted?
Just tell me why
My life's the perfect irony
I can't decide
If I should laugh or cry
I think it's kind of funny
How they say all I need
Is the money
To get by
Goodbye
Get by
Oh what the perfect irony

Oh where is she going to?
And will she see mummy..mummy..mummy?
They lie with steel pieces in their hearts

I have no heart it seems
When I need it, it leaves
And I haven't the courage to oblige
Why couldn't somebody cry for me
This time?
For I'm too frightened to reply
As were the days of yore
Mine are timeless
Why couldn't someone have patience for me?
Why couldn't someone be wise to my fears?
Tell me why couldn't somebody cry for me
This time?
And if I should die, who'll be the first to cry?
I have not the nerve to show anyone how I am
For I'd be misunderstood
Every time you're standing by my side
I'm stricken with undying fear inside
And if I choose to comply
Not one would wonder why would I
Who'll be the first to cry?

He sees her face and is compelled to take this flight
He knows her soul embodies this, his final plight
His heart beats requiem, pounding the rhythm of intent
The night speaks fare thee well, the thrashing sea
Speaks portent
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
His chest is bared and ready for her stake
Burning, longing, nothing could keep him from her now
He flies by the whispering guidance of the clouds
This lonely eternity will end this eve within the
Arms of Gabrielle
The creatures of the night release him to become
The dove again
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
His chest is bared and ready for her stake
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
His chest is bared and ready for her stake
This curse, this need to feed through the centuries
Has grown tiring, so she becomes his history
The fog breaks and she is there wandering on
The jagged cliffs
The fortress comes in view as he descends to meet her kiss
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
His chest is bared and ready for her stake
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
His chest is bared and ready for her stake
His chest is bared and ready for her hand
His chest is bared and ready for her stake
His chest is bared and ready for her hand

He is broken, far from free
Words were spoken, 'tween him and me
"I had friends, yes, I was admired
I'm so old now, feel so tired"
Well he walks to the gate and he looks behind
at life in rewind
And wishes he had known these things
while still alive
still alive
He can see reason in everything
"Where do I go to get my wings"
Going to fly
She sees faces in her home
Wonders why they (don't) leave her alone
"You must know child, I am all here
They think I'm failing, senile, I fear"
Well she walks to the gate and she looks behind
at life in rewind
And wishes she had known these things
while still alive
still alive
"I can see the purpose now and all I've learned
All the roads and where they've turned
I can see, I can see everything, the total truth
I'm ready for another youth"
I have a little stick of glass
With a blue and green universe
When I turn it upside down
Stars go back and forth
And round and round and
It's another world now
I think I'll go and look around for
Something for they teethies to bite
I can run and play with all my might
Close they eyes
I wake in much surprise
I run and jump on
Sunbeams dancing by
I see a little sparkle there
I'll wait and then fly through the air
Then find another subject of play
There's too much to see in just one day
I'm made for this terrain
Oh this or any other plane
Watch me go like fire
I will always burn
I'll never tire
Close they eyes
I wake in much surprise
I run and jump on
Sunbeams dancing by
Small and big
This body I fit in
Is full of life
And chasing flutterby
I have a little stick of glass
With a blue and green universe
When I turn it upside down
Stars go back and forth
And round and round
Oh close they eyes
I wake in much surprise
I run and jump on
Sunbeams dancing by
Small and big
This body I fit in
Is full of life
And chasing flutterby

Cherish and remember
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Understand that I am
Momentary
No forevers here
I move on
But if you ignore my presence
I will never come again
Take notice
I remain for no one, no thing
Be aware
Tomorrow I'm gone
But treat me with respect and care
And when needed I'll be there
But if you ignore my presence
I will never come again
Take notice
I am a flying soul
Don't clutch on
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone
Tomorrow I'll be gone

They say I've changed beyond compare
I've ventured far beyond despair
The atmosphere is different here
It reeks of gloom and valid fear
It's all set up, the way is clear
All the bases been covered
The time is near
And it was all so easy, cried not a tear
Won't be surprised to find my reaper near
Oh baby please don't go
I'm so tired and you're so right by my soul
And as of now my fate looks grim
The light is there but growing dim
And if there's a reason for my mind
It's been lost far behind
So to and fro emotions go
When life is done no tears will flow
For days for me are seldom fun
Residing I'm the only one
Oh baby please don't go
I'm so tired and you're so right by my soul

[Music by Happy - Lyrics by Happy and Dave Snyder]
Ooh don't hate me if I break under the strain
Analyzed, crucified
Caught on Satan's wing
Angels of night
Vultures in flight
I've a love for the fatal things
All these and many more
Float within my lobes
Colors dancing
Blood-red oozing
From liquid strobes
Come see the visions
Come feel the pain
Of sores that never heal
And then my friend
Well, maybe you'll see
How my world's
Become unreal
Kissing the night
And cursing the morning
Must be a crime
Dismembered
From the faith of youth
And doing my time
Culture-shocked eyes
That hide the fears
Eroded cheeks
From acid tears
Where every smile
Escapes from my face
To seek refuge
In a happier place
And my mind
It screams to be free
And to find the structure
My mind
It screams to be free
From what's possessing me
Now don't hate me if I break under the strain
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Get out of my world of worlds
You little poets crying pain
Just stand on your podium preaching beauty
I've gotta leave you in the rain
Now I've heard many people like you
From the undergrounds of France
Pushing your sickly sweet impressions of romance
My ears have parasites
My ears have parasites
You think I've never heard the lines before
With the candy sun and the creaking door
Get your head out of the cotton clouds
Put your precious feet on the floor
Don't give me those power lines
Just hit it right on
You can be precise
Miracles of mystery
With vagueness your device
My ears have parasites (go away)
My ears have parasites (go away)
My ears have parasites (go away)
My ears have parasites (go away)
Now clarify, what did you say?
You know you're not making any sense
Are you describing a vision of beauty?
Or a chain of events?
Oh get to the point you sappy wimps
I haven't got a lot of time
Simplicity is beauty
Are there poets less sublime?
My ears have parasites (go away)
My ears have parasites (go away)
My ears have parasites (go away)
My ears have parasites (go away)
My ears have parasites (go away)
My ears have parasites (go away)
My ears have parasites
My ears have parasites

Boys...can I play the game
Boys...can I play your game by my rules
Yours don't apply to me
Boys...I want to play the game
Boys...I want to play your game by my rules
And be who I want to be
I don't think I can speak for anyone
I don't think I can fight for anyone
But I have to know where I stand
As a person, not a woman or man
And do believe me when I say
What I need is respect
If I have to be pretty to be liked
Then I think I'm dead in the water
I never want to have to be like the boys
To be allowed to play with the toys
I hope you take me as I am
Masculine or feminine
I cannot be a role player
Boys...can I play the game
Boys...can I play your game by my rules
Yours don't apply to me
Boys...I want to play the game
Boys...I want to play your game by my rules
And be who I want to be
If I raise my arm for the role call
Will I be present and accounted for
And if I choose to walk with my brothers
I will do it as a sister
I've been influenced by society
To paint my face and hate my body
I don't think I'm any better for it
Doesn't mean I'm more legitimate
After all, isn't it what's inside that counts
No matter what the gender be
Boys...can I play the game
Boys...can I play your game by my rules
Yours don't apply to me
Boys...I want to play the game
Boys...I want to play your game by my rules
And be who I want to be
Now while we're all here, let's get this straight
I'm not a man, but my voice is ten feet tall
With these tiny little arms, see all that I can do
Keep your eyes on me if you want to see some
Mountains move
Boys...can I play the game
Boys...can I play your game by my rules
Yours don't apply to me
Boys...I want to play the game
Boys...I want to play your game by my rules
And be who I want to be
If I raise my arm for the role call
Will I be present and accounted for
If I choose to walk with my brothers
((((((( Oh the drears )))))))
((((((( Oh the drears )))))))
Oh the drears of being so strong
Oh the drears of never being wrong
It's such a strain
To find the strength within
And such a drain to fight and always win
Oh the drears of the cold cold night
Oh the drears of seeing death in our sight
And knowing every moment
That what I feel is true
The drears of knowing that I'll make it through
Oh the drears
the drears
(((((((((((( Oh ))))))))))))
Oh the drears of the nights are creeping
Oh the drears are never sleeping
It's such a strain
To find the strength within
And such a drain to fight and always win
And such a drain to fight and always win
((((((( Oh the drears )))))))
Who is by my immortal side?
Who's the cloak when I need to hide?
Who confirms my reality?
Harbors my individuality?
I carry hopes and dreams from the
Stars above to guide me
I have a friend in Phobos
At times I think I'm almost there
When I look back on all the years
I was warm in my coat of drears
Never once lacking company
Through the clouds
I could feel a symphony
I had the notes and themes of
The stars above to guide me
I have a friend in Phobos
At times I think I'm almost there
It's you and me
My moon
It's you and me
There's a place representative
Of the land where my creatures live
It embodies my will to be
This has nothing to do with destiny
I carry skill and schemes from
The stars above to guide me
I have a friend in Phobos
At times I think I'm almost there
It's you and me
My moon
It's you and me
It's you and me
My moon
It's you and me
My moon
My friend
My moon
Who is king over my domain?
What's the force that has kept me sane?
Making certain I'm not alone
Making certain my heart will not be prone
I had the hopes and dreams of the
Stars above to guide me
I have a friend in Phobos
At times I think I'm almost there
I have a friend in Phobos
At times I think I'm almost...

he'll call me when he's back in town
this I know
he'll call me when he's coming around this circle again
i can feel no shame in his discretion
cause i think he's always seen
how deeply he'd affect me
he came in like a lion on the hunt
a vibrant man
when he'd had enough, he snuck out like a little lamb
and they have said he could have been so much more
but f
ame was not what this old boy had come here for
he did arrive very well equipped
with gifts of mind and hand
and the knowledge that life thrives
in every grain of sand
he'd paint his dream, he'd paint his sea
he'd always make them laugh
he would ha
ve died a million deaths on my behalf
it's a case of perfect hindsight
maybe we can try again
i did love you more than you knew
now we see our history
he'll call me when he's back in town
surely
he'll call me when he's coming 'round the circle again
i can feel no shame in his discretion
'cause i think he's always seen how deeply he'd affect me
it's a case of perfect hindsight
maybe we can try again
i did love you more than you knew
now we see our history
he quietly slipped out of town
when the doctor was turned around
when they finally found him out
it didn't make the news
for seventeen hours he moved vern out
piece by piece
by six a.m. he'd broken his lease
he'll call me when he's back in town
surely
he'll call me when he's guided 'round that circle again
i can feel no shame in his discretion
'cause i think he's always seen
how deeply he'd affect me
he'll call me when he's back in town
oh this i know
he'll call me when he's guided 'round that circle again
i can feel no shame in his discretion
'cause i think he's always seen
The spirit in me
Knows your soul will be free
One alien has come, unalien to one
Will they ever return
To bring you back to where you belong?
You'll find a place
Of peaceful grace
You've fought from the start
For the road to all of their hearts
Will they ever return
To bring you back to where you belong?
Baby I'm here and I've been quite an alien too
I'm on a road that's parallel to you
Baby I'm here and I've been quite an alien too
I'm on a road that's parallel to you
Your love's too pure
And your motives too sure
A society cannot stand
A truly genuine man
Will they ever return
To bring you back to where you belong?
Baby I'm here and I've been quite an alien too
I'm on a road that's parallel to you
Baby I'm here and I've been quite an alien too
I'm on a road that's parallel to you
The spirit in me
Knows your soul will be free
One alien has come, unalien to one
One alien has come, unalien to one
Alien has come, unalien to one

I knew a man who was very odd
He'd always thought that someone was following him
He'd talk of entities that didn't exist
Or so I thought...
Off from out from under me
Off from out from under me
Off from out from under me
Off from out from under me
His paranoia intrigued me so
I was sure he'd escaped from the looney bin
Every day it became clearer
He was right...
Off from out from under me
Off from out from under me
Off from out from under me
Off from out from under me
Goodbye my lunatic, I hope you're faring well
I'm trying to keep them off from out from under you
You were right little madman they're hovering at my head
I'm trying to keep them off from out from under me
This man had knowledge of right and wrong
He could separate light from dark
He showed me the horrors of infesting thoughts
Of emotions
Off from out from under me
Off from out from under me
Off from out from under me
Off from out from under me
Off from out from under me
Off from out from under me
Out from under me Off from out from under me
Out from under me Off from out from under me
Out from under me Off from out from under me
Out from under me Off from out from under me
Out from under me Off from out from under me
Thanks be my lunatic, I know he's faring well
It's over now, they're off from out from under him
They can't hurt the madman
Now they're hammering at my head
I must die to get them off from out from under me
Off from out from under me
Get 'em off from out from under me
Get 'em off from out from under me
Get 'em off from out from under me
Get 'em off from out from under me
Get 'em off from out from under me
Get 'em off from out from under me
Get 'em off from out from under me
Get 'em off from out from under me
Get 'em off from out from under me
Get 'em off from out from under me
Get 'em off

Believe..the sun will come out again
the sun will come out again
Believe..your love will return again
your love will return again
Never cry for the rain
(never cry, never cry for the rain)
It brings us soothing sounds to sleep by
And never cry because you feel unloved
(never cry, never cry 'cause you're unloved)
That's what your arms are for
To wrap them around yourself
And believe..the sun will come out again
the sun will come out again
Believe..your love will return again
your love will return again
Never cry because you're lonely
(never cry, never cry 'cause you're alone)
Your love will always be around the bend
And never cry because you think you can't make it
(never cry, never cry 'cause you can't make it)
You've made it this far
That's better than most
Believe..the sun will come out again
the sun will come out again
Believe..your love will return again
your love will return again
Never cry because you're scared
(never cry, never cry because you're scared)
The only thing that can harm you is your fear
And don't ask why you must hurt so much
(don't ask why, don't ask why you hurt so much)
It's just a process of healing
Remember..
To believe..believe when I say..that I believe in you
yes I believe in you
Believe..believe when I say..that I'll love you always
yes I'll love you always

I believe that we are good
I believe that we are good
In my heart
There's no evil
So tell me why
Torture is alive and well
And death is all too common
In our worlds
At the hands of human
Need to find the key
I think I need to find the key
I think I need to find the key
I think I need to know the word
I think I need to find the key
I think I need to find it
I think I need to find the key
And open up my mind to the truth
You cannot defy their will
But I'd rather die than kill
Who is this god of hate?
Where does this malice originate?
What intruder is causing
The twist of a gentle heart?
The ability to harm life
Oh is it viral
Or is it just us?
Need to find the key
I think I need to find the key
I think I need to find the key
I think I need to know the word
I think I need to find the key
I think I need to find it
I think I need to find the key
And open up my mind to the truth
You cannot defy their will
But I'd rather die than kill
I said I said
You cannot defy their will
But I'd rather die than kill
But the biggest shock to me
Is always the apathy
The woman just stared
While the cat lay dying
Need to find the key
I think I need to find the key
I think I need to find the key
I think I need to know the word
I think I need to find the key
I think I need to find it
I think I need to find the key
And open up my mind to the truth
You cannot defy their will
But I'd rather die than kill
I said I said
You cannot defy their will
But I'd rather die than kill

I looked out over the blue
And breathed in the new, old air
Wondered where it had been
Before it got here
Little bell in a cage
Singing to me happily
I wanted to swim out far
To keep him company
Mother Sea blew her
Sweet breath on me
Telling me there's so much
More to be seen
Yes I remember now
I remember now
How it goes
I remember the tears
For the jellyfish
Drowned in the sand
I wavered in the waves
With seaweed in my hand
I wanted to fly under
The wings of the gulls
Overhead
I longed to know what lies
Beyond that line
Mother Sea blew her
Sweet breath on me
Telling me there's so much
More I can be
Mother Sea blew her
Sweet breath on me
Telling me there's so much
More I must be
Yes I remember now
I remember now
How it goes
Now I know just what
My godmother was for
Mother Sea blew her
Sweet breath on me
Telling me there's so much
More I must see
Mother Sea blew her
Sweet breath on me
Telling me there's so much
More we can be
Yes I remember now
I remember now
Waiting on my slumber
They rest upon my pane
My tiny moonbeam friends
Clinging to my rain
And when I lift my shade
They quietly fall through
They land upon my wall
Sparkling of blue
And when I cry
They sing to me
My little lunar friends
For every hurt my heart can feel
They try to make amends
One of them I know
I call him by his name
He has a special cause
To keep this child insane
They make me warm inside
When everything is cold
My heart is burning young
My mind grows old
The painted stage
It comes alive at night
When all the world is dead
And I become the sole audience
And they linger in my head
Now follow me my loves
Everywhere I go
Shine on every hair
My oxy and nitro
We have the world tonight
So keep me company
And when the sun comes
We will be history
Now watch me in my troubled sleep
My spirits of the night
And be nocturnal for me still
Be gone with the light
Be gone with the light
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Tonight, tonight
And for many nights
Although I am not very real
Am I something you can love?
{repeat...}
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Take the sun away
Bloom no flower
Call the voices off
Send the angels to shelter
The dark rolls in
Lay me down
Encompass me
With violets
Where there was hope
Let there now be sorrow
Let no sparrow sing
Light the candles and incense
The clouds roll in
Lay me down
Encompass me
With lilacs
Steal my sight away
Spare no smile on me
Let the wells run dry
Tell my guardian it's over
The night crawls in
Lay me down
Encompass me
With darkness
Lay me down
Encompass me
With silence
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
You'll find me
Forever in hiding
And only time will tell
What it's done to me
I've tried to show
God only knows
To grow
But music hides me so well
And reveals me
Oh well
You can find me
In hiding

I ask you
Now tell the truth
I ask you
Was it worth the price you paid?
If so...
I know you loved me
Darling
But I need to know
Did you mean to hurt me so?
If so...
Go away way very far away, take your leave
I'll never hate you, I'll never think of you
And I'll never grieve
Did you want it all?
Free love
Did it satisfy?
Was it your intentions to deceive?
If so...
You made me happy
You made me cry
You gave me hope
Was my happiness a lie?
If so...
Go away way very far away, take your leave
I'll never hate you, I'll never think of you
And I'll never grieve
I'll never grieve the loss
I ask you
Now tell the truth
I ask you
Was it worth the price you paid?
If so...

You'll never win, I won't break down
Because I have the strength of a million souls
Though you will try, I won't despair
Because I've lived the life of a million lives
Always known just where I was going
To have peace with me
And to have peace with you
And I can see that day
Yes I can see that day
Do you know just where you're going?
Do you have the strength to pursue your dreams?
Through the years my eyes have cried
But I don't run away from the things I fear
There's no question that I am here
To have peace with me
And to have peace with you
And I can see that day
Yes I can see that day
You'll never win, I won't break down
Because I have the strength of a million souls
Though you will try, I won't despair
Because I've lived the life of a million lives
Always known just where I was going

as i walk through the streets
i could be anyone that you need
but i must stand and speak my name
or be forced to live up to your dreams

not you, or her can say who i am
not them, or him can say who i am
not them, or her will say who i am

do not trust everything that is said

I have a heart inside
She's begging me for suicide
She doesn't want anymore
She's lived too many lives before
So what do I say to put her at ease?
I know she'd leave with the breeze
All I can do is beg her to stay
Oh she is deceived every day
Cheated and lied to in every way
Why do you love weak little thing?
You never could handle the hurting
So what do I say to put her at ease?
I know she'd leave with the breeze
All I can do is beg her to stay

She walked into the room
His wine spilled upon the floor
Something 'bout the way she dreamed
Made his ship come ashore
Her eyes didn't see the count
They saw his duality
They looked through charisma
To the pain of immortality
Gabrielle dancing on the rocks
He will come for you
He will come again
So keep your eyes searching
In the clouds
He will come for you
He will come again
There aren't worlds enough
To contain her innocence
There aren't horrors enough
To reverse her fearlessness
Gabrielle dancing on the rocks
He will come for you
He will come again
So keep your eyes searching
In the clouds
He will come for you
He will come again
see you are his deathwish
don't flee, set him free
Gabrielle dancing on the rocks
He will come for you
He will come again
So keep your eyes searching
In the clouds
He will come for you
He will come again
Gabrielle dancing on the rocks
He will come for you
He will come again
So keep your eyes searching
In the clouds
He will come for you
No not for me
Brutal simplicity
Sane insincerity
No not another day
Wasted away
On a mental stray
Where is the man of my dreams?
Where is the man of my dreams?
Who will be the one
To keep me from the sun?
Ready and willing to run
It's too, too far
To all my perfect stars
Nonexistent are
Where is the man of my dreams?
Where is the man of my dreams?
Keep your life
Keep your normal wife
Live your tiny plant life
No, not for me
I tear instinctively
And wish for idiocy
