Arthur Steven "Artie" Lange, Jr. (born October 11, 1967) is an American actor, comedian and radio personality best known for his tenures with the The Howard Stern Show and the comedy sketch series MADtv.
Lange performed his first stand-up comedy routine at 19 years of age. He took up work as a longshoreman to help support his family, following the death of his quadriplegic father. In 1995, Lange starred in the first season of MADtv before leaving halfway through the second due to cocaine abuse and his subsequent arrest. After a period of rehabilitation, Lange featured in Dirty Work with Norm MacDonald, who brought Lange into the second season of his sitcom, The Norm Show. In 2001, Lange replaced Jackie Martling on The Howard Stern Show and stayed until late 2009, before a suicide attempt in early 2010 led to an eight-month stay in a psychiatric ward. Lange has released recordings of comedy performances – It's the Whiskey Talkin' (2004) and Jack and Coke (2009). He co-wrote, produced and starred in his film Artie Lange's Beer League in 2006, and co-wrote, with Anthony Bozza, the book Too Fat to Fish in 2008, which entered The New York Times Best Seller list at number one. In 2011, Lange returned to radio with Nick DiPaolo to co-host The Nick and Artie show.

Cenk Kadir Uygur (Turkish pronunciation: [ˈdʒɛŋk ˈujɡur]; born March 21, 1970), is the main host and co-founder of the progressive Internet and talk radio show, The Young Turks (TYT). A naturalized U.S. citizen, Uygur was born in Turkey and raised from age eight in the United States. He worked as an attorney in Washington D.C. and New York before beginning his career as a political commentator. Originally a moderate Republican, he has since become a staunch critic of both the Republican and Democratic parties and has adopted more progressive and liberal views.
In addition to hosting TYT, Uygur appeared on MSNBC as a political commentator in 2010, later hosting a weeknight commentary show on the channel for nearly six months—until the time slot was given to Al Sharpton. Shortly after leaving MSNBC, Uygur secured a show on Current TV that began airing on December 5, 2011 before Countdown with Keith Olbermann.
Uygur was born in Istanbul, Turkey and emigrated with his family to the United States when he was eight years old. He grew up in East Brunswick Township, New Jersey and graduated from East Brunswick High School. He attended the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania where he majored in management and was on the Student Activities Council representing the Turkish Students Association. He also earned a J.D. from Columbia Law School and worked as an associate attorney at the law firms of Drinker Biddle & Reath in Washington, D.C. and Hayes & Liebman in New York City.
John W. Bowman, Jr., better known by his stage name DJ Kool is an American rapper who, in the late 1990s, produced several popular rap singles. Born in 1959 in Washington, D.C., his influence from his years of working the go-go and rap circuits became apparent in his music. During the early- to mid-1980s, Kool worked as a warm-up DJ for Rare Essence, until he was picked up by CLR Records.
In 1996, he recorded his most successful track, "Let Me Clear My Throat," which was released on American Recordings. The track peaked at #8 in the UK Singles Chart in March 1997. The song prominently featured a sample of "The 900 Number" by DJ Mark the 45 King, (that song featured a sample from Marva Whitney's "Unwind Yourself", repeated over a breakbeat for six minutes). The song also began by sampling "Hollywood Swinging" by Kool and the Gang. The song is a recognizable dance floor-filler, and the track remains popular to this day[update]. DJ Kool was featured on Mýa's 2006 single "Ayo!" from her 2008 album Liberation. He was also featured on two tracks on Will Smith's 2005 album Lost and Found.
It's six a.m. and I'm wide awake
'Cause I can't stop thinking
About the stuff you'll say
And me and I, I can't let it slide
The paper's not here yet the sun's not up
But I'm not afraid to tell you what I feel inside
I had one of those dreams that make it all so
Clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear
Why did I smile when I hurt inside?
Said I was okay when I knew it's a lie
I wanted to believe in you
You took your chances and one was me
So I'll just forgive you and set you free
I'm on my way
Yeah I'm stepping out of the haze
And it's so clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear
I wanna put the past behind
Try and maybe I can find better days
The first time in a while
Think I even feel a smile on my face
I got a whole new perspective
You can't treat me that way
It's so clear to me now
I got a whole new perspective
It's so clear to me now
You can't treat me that way
It appears to me
How long you tried to make me think
It was me who was being the fake
So clear
Yeah, so clear
So clear, so clear
Sun's going down on a Saturday
[Verse 1: Curren$y]
Uh, cold bottles, hot nights
Long stories, short flights
My turf field territory, everybody got a price
And these are proposal the money to have, people that
chose disposal
Bitch wake up to a nose full and sneak out on old dude
He been on to her moves but he play it cool
Knowing better than to trust a bitch
Even though she was with him back when he began
hustling
Had her tugging greyhound, busting all types of other
shit
Know how that old game loop a younger bitch
Same thing, lose a younger bitch
Speed kills and them newer cats is mad quick
Survival of the fittest, niggas need to join a gym
Rhyme's lightweight homie, been lifting
International audio dope distributing
Five star restaurant with my house shoes on
Like the jernt of a don, stay out my way from here on
[Hook x2: Curren$y]
Real nigga, let me make it as clear as my windows
If it ain't about no paper we can't deal with ya'
If you hating we can find some ways to deal with ya'
[Verse 2: Jadakiss]
You're a thug but you be around the stars, mad nervous
You ain't got enough bars, bad service
No reception, you claim to be real, that's your
perception
It ain't all skill, it's all perfection
I'm the best in, let me make that as clear as my
windows
Deeper than rap, niggas know I handle my business
'For the trial even start, I handle the witness
Either way, niggas gon' get it
From sunshine till the storm hit it
I'm out here, hands on with it
I don't love the money, I just get along with it
Turn soft white into hard dope
Bad bitch on a jet watching Argo
That's what it call for, we can all go
I'm just making it clear so that you all know
Nigga
If I don't take you seriously
If I can laugh at your randomness
If I can have a little fun baby
If I can only feel my bliss
If I can ignore my conscience
And reject my angry guide
If I can take my soul out of hiding
And get it right back
To reviving what had died
I wanna be alive... so alive
If I can love you without hating you
If I can accept your lack of guilt
If I can walk across the skinny wire
If I can make my conscience tilt
If I can lose myself for once
If I can regain my youth
I'm so sick and tired of lying
Gonna dig down to the truth
I found my Independence here
I finally let go of my fear
My mind is finally, finally clear, clear, clear
Whoever said we had to be crazy glued
To our personalities?
I wanna jump on the bed and hit the ceiling
Any symbol of being free
Last night you laughed so hard
I could see your shining bliss
Don't wanna live another day
Without knowing how you kiss
I found my Independence here
I finally let go of my fear
It's six a.m. and I'm wide awake
'Cause I can't stop thinking
About the stuff you'll say
And me and I, I can't let it slide
The paper's not here yet the sun's not up

Sun's going down on a Saturday
as a child i recall i had once believed
i would die before i reached seventeen
seventeen i remember i faced the truth
when i understood your prophecy was confused
when all is done there is little that can guide everyone along
the faltered line you mumbled on the day you left us behind
nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here
you promised me
nothing is clear though you promised me
you promised me that you'd be here
nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here
you promised me
though nothing was clear
as a child hope is what keeps us young
like a fuel it will burn until you are strong
if you're weak you'll never see past the day
like a cynic you will probably feel betrayed
if one thing's clear there is certainly little of value here
and when we die inevitably we're leaving all this behind
nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here
you promised me
nothing is clear though you promised me
you promised me that you'd be here
nothing is clear though you promised me you'd be here
you promised me
I look around here as I start to undress
It's all upside down and I must confess
My heads going round and I sleep less and less
My days are wasting and my life is a mess
Tears on my face in my eyes in my hair
I call out your name but there's no one there
Nights are cold and the days aren't sunny
Nothing in the fridge and there's fuck all money
At least I've got a brain and a way to think clear
Use all my resources to get out of here
I look out of the window as the rain pours down
It's not easy to leave, but I've got to do it now
My head aches a lot and I can hardly see
Oh Lord, I don't know what's to become of me
Nights are cold and the days aren't sunny
Nothing in the fridge and there's fuck all money
But at least I've got a brain
And a way to think clear
Use all my resources to get out of here
I look around here as I start to undress
It's all upside down and I must confess
My heads going round and I sleep less and less
My days are wasting and my life is a mess
Tears on my face in my eyes in my hair
I call out your name but there's no one there
Nights are cold and the days aren't sunny
Nothing in the fridge and there's fuck all money
At least I've got a brain and a way to think clear
Use all my resources to get out of here
I look out of the window as the rain pours down
It's not easy to leave, but I've got to do it now
My head aches a lot and I can hardly see
Oh Lord, I don't know what's to become of me
Nights are cold and the days aren't sunny
Nothing in the fridge and there's fuck all money
But at least I've got a brain
And a way to think clear
I do believe this road's for going
I'll be on it soon enough
My baby wants a mother
So do I when it's all too tough
I do believe there's something coming
Hope it wake us up
The big hand's pointing this way
Sometimes we love too much
It's clear, we're here, it's clear
See me old and staggered
Or young and swaggering
Where we're going, where we've been
When all that matters is in between
It's clear, we're here, it's clear
All that's sense is lost in static
We're here against our will
Hush there's time and plenty of it
Standing still
I do believe there's always better
Then again there's always worse
It's clear, we're here, it's clear
I rhyme of time when all we knew was love
With bread and wine, friends by your side,
And time beneath your glove.
You dream of time like that to always stay,
But no soon day would ever stay,
And tunes will always change.
But you're always here and your touch is near,
and your sound, so sound,
you're always clear, so clear,
your voice it's clear,
your sound, so sound.
Now feel the times when all we knew was pain
Where loved ones hearts were locked by scars,
And soon their name has changed.
But these are times when soon you'll see what came.
In all this pain there's wholeness found
In One who stays the same.
He's always here and his touch is near,
And he's sound, so sound,
He's always clear, so clear,
His voice it's clear,
He's sound, so sound.
The pain, such lessons in such pain
Such hope in so much pain
How can I call this pain?
You're always here and your touch is near,
And your sound, so sound,
You're always clear, so clear,
Your voice it's clear,
I thought I heard someone say
You had just blown back into town.
I thought you might stay away
Till it's clear.
There's still this voice in my head.
There's still this ghost in our bed.
And there's still this song we used to play.
Will we know when it's over completely?
Where are the angels now?
The feathers came drifting down.
Where are the angels,
Where are the angels now?
Most of the games people play,
Are fish fighting, dying,
As they push their way back upstream.
The water will wash the bodies away,
Till it's clear.
There's still this voice in my head,
There's still your ghost in my bed,
And I thought I heard someone say
We won't know til it's over completely.
Where are the angels now?
The feathers came drifting down.
Where are the angels,
I swallow hate from your betrayal and face deception flood
Surrounded by the truth that things will never return
Again, the same its not what used to be
Now it's a new reality
Now things are turning clear
I've followed you until the end believing every word
For me you where the sanity against the most absurd
A guide, a friend
An honest understand
A faithful healing Holy land
So insane
Now I break
...and try to turn things...
Clear
Clear
Clear
Clear
I know that I have made mistakes but that's the way it is
I don't deny that somehow I have made you shed some tears
But all I keep it's what I can't forget
Youre give up, my regret
Thrown away
Now I face
... That I must turn things...
Clear
Clear
Clear
Clear
Thrown away
Now I face
... That I must turn things...
Clear
Clear
Clear
And my mind was confusion
like thoughts of clouds in the sky
Wanted to touch the water
So Ii could feel that high
That day was so full of bliss
I feared the coming of night
And I had to feel my tears
As they burned my eyes so alive
Take my mind out
So I can be clear
The pure blue skies
It seemed to kill the tears
It seemed to kill these tears
And her mind is confusion
The dots that eat the blue sky
They never understand me
And never have even tried
I just wanted to be lost
So I could see what's inside
Nothing to say to you people
You remain so fucking blind
Take my mind now
So I can be clear
The pure blue skies
It seemed to kill the tears
Take my mind now
And It's confusion
Black and blue skies
One day I will be
One day I will be
One day I will be
Clear!
One day I will be clear!
So when mind's clear from confusion
Like a blue cloudless sky
There'll be nothing to say to you people
You're forever fucking blind
Take my mind now
So I can be clear
Dark and blue skies
It seemed to kill the tears
Take my mind now
And it's confusion
You're shining right in front of me now.
You can't tell what I am becoming.
Twisted in memories of a world that would last forever.
But it's not ever the same and the days seem so much colder.
Now I don't feel anything else.
But you do seem perfect here tonight.
You make me see this place so different.
I do things now I know I shouldn't.
There was a time that we cared and we're looking at the peices.
Because it's never enough and I'm leaving all their troubles.
Now I don't feel anything else,
But you do seem perfect here tonight.
Now I don't feel anything else,
But you do seem perfect here tonight,
And now I won't ever stand still.
Any thought of you and I'm spinning.
Now it seems that everything has changed,
And it will not ever be the same.
There you go
Straight through me
And out the door
This keeps me up with your new self
You got to get away
When things don't make sense
A situation making things a mess
It wasn't supposed to happen
Like this
There you go
And she's leaving
Down the street without your clothes
I'm keeping up with your new self
You got to get away
When things don't make sense
I'll keep you around here
Suffering with me
I'll keep you around here
Suffering with me
You got to get away
Away from me
There you go
Straight through me
And don't you know
This wasn't supposed to happen
This wasn't supposed to happen
To me
You got to get away
Get away
I'll keep you around here
Suffering with me
I'll keep you around here
Suffering with me
Constant is the parade of ashes
Keep the distraction, bat those lashes
Built up the monument to
Built up the monument to break in tune
Concealing the intent of fascists
Resurrect,
Humanity has fallen by the way side
Fuck your theories
We are the way we are
The violence is out of control
If we paint the walls red,
Murder the innocent
We're digging us a deeper hole
Catastrophic creations, oh
Destroy, erase the masses
Festering vessels line the caskets
Built up the monument to
Built up the monument to break in tune
Dissect the world to see what happens
[?]
Fuck your theories
We are the way we are
The violence is out of control
If we paint the walls red,
Murder the innocent
We're digging us a deeper hole
Catastrophic creations, oh
Fuck your theories
We are the way we are
The violence is out of control
If we paint the walls red,
Murder the innocent
We're digging us a deeper hole
Catastrophic creations, oh
Will the canvas we paint with our hands
spill the blood of our youth innocent?
Faces cling at the light I made
closer wreckage will seek to connect
Will the canvas we paint with our hands
spill the blood of our youth [?]
[3x]
Fuck your theories
We are the way we are
The violence is out of control
If we paint the walls red,
Murder the innocent
We're digging us a deeper hole
Catastrophic creations, oh
The parade of ashes,
The parade of ashes,
Bat those fucking lashes,
The parade of ashes
Talk to me so slow that I can hear you
'Cause what you say makes so much sense to me
And here I'll stand with nothing on my mind
Forgetting everything I'm supposed to say
As I start learning more you'll whisper to me
And tell me what to wish for when I dream the day away
'Cause I know you're the one to teach me something
Like who I am and how to make my way
And when all these things become clear
I'll thank you for making all these things seem so clear, so clear
Take me to your favorite places
Where no one knows me, they all know you
I'll hide my fears and stand right by your side
As the whole world looks up at you
I hope that you stay shaven clean and somewhat sober
The bottle runs like water, but to me it's all the same
Stay with me and be a father
Teach me how to read and write my name
And when all these things become clear
I'll thank you for making all these things seem so clear, so clear
Just when you think I am crazy, shy, and have no feelings
I'll look at you and slowly say your name
I'm thinking someday, maybe, I'll be just like you
And I'll never cry and I'll never be afraid
But not until all these things become clear
And I thank you for making all these things seem so clear
Thank you for making all these things seem so clear, so clear
I can see the slender arms of trees
Stir color in their leaves through my window
I can hear early morning childish birds
Beckon without words through my window
But for me to touch with my own hand
Takes a speck of time or sand
But my window, but my window
To stand up to a furnace, to hurl a tiny stone
To step out on the water not to drown
No pioneer has planted foot upon new ground sitting down
Faint cry from across the tracks
Around the corner through my window
I can hear the yearning of the hungry
That I can't feed through my window, through my window
To stand up to a furnace, to hurl a tiny stone
To step out on the water not to drown
No pioneer has planted foot upon new ground sitting down
To stand up to a furnace, to hurl a tiny stone
To step out on the water not to drown
No pioneer has planted foot upon new ground sitting down
I can sit, I can gaze
Through my window and still sing praise
But You want me on my feet
Perseverance can complete what my faith tells me
I know I can't reach it through my window
To stand up to a furnace, to hurl a tiny stone
To step out on the water not to drown
No pioneer has planted foot upon new ground sitting down
To stand up to a furnace, to hurl a tiny stone
To step out on the water not to drown
Steadfast Stephen saw his chance to open wide
Unveiling lies, delivering his skin and bones
Upon the hate filled battle cries
They rushed him and they stoned him
But his sights were set on the open skies
I'm in the wake of martyrs gone before me
Waiting to be tried
Is the strength and trust I have in You
Enough that I would stand and die?
Stand and die
Caught in Cassie was a candle
Burning from the wick of life
She had found it when she finally turned to You
That graceful night
When they asked her if she knew you
What else could she reply?
I'm in the wake of martyrs gone before me
Waiting to be tried
Is the strength and trust I have in You
Enough that I would stand and die?
Stand and die
Now it's nearly twenty hundred years
Since You were crucified
With my heart and soul and all You gave me
I would give my life
I'm in the wake of martyrs gone before me
Waiting to be tried
Is the strength and trust I have in You
Enough that I would stand and die?
Sixth street, sun is going down
Pavement's cool underneath
A vagrant, so they say in town
Seems that mercy can't compete
Sleeping in a doorway
Near the docks of Oyster Bay
Thirteen years and carrying shame
Never hearing the voice
Of the One who took his blame
A whisper, he raised his head
Surrendered out, do you believe?
Are you ready to ride the train?
Abandoned not by Love, you'll see
If you're ready to ride
A one piece paper suitcase
A past whose future was foretold
A life not made for dying
Instead the mystery began to unfold
Unfolding, he raised his head
Surrendered out, do you believe?
Are you ready to ride the train?
Abandoned not by Love, you'll see
If you're ready to ride
Born into despair, an orphan child
Will You care for me?
And like the train that saved me
Adopted by love eternally
Opening His arms He wants you rich
You poor, you black, you white
Receive His love that runs so deep
And high, and long, and wide
Surrendered out, do you believe?
Are you ready to ride the train?
Abandoned not by Love, you'll see
Green and wide open a soft meadow calls
Out to a very young girl, a world with no walls
Smiling, she fashions her first daisy chain
Now dancing, she sees it, the coming of rain
And the wind begins to blow
Stormy clouds across the plain
Her little lips, they tremble
To know am I safe in the rain?
Tiny heart beating fears well defined
Two tiny feet retreating the chain dropped behind
But words from her Father resound like a drum
My love is unending, my child, let it come
And the wind begins to blow
Stormy clouds across the plain
Her little lips, they tremble
To know am I safe in the rain?
Though the skies begin to pour
A gentle peace relieves her strain
She feels a Love so real, it's warm
I am safe in the rain
Lord, come, please come, like the rain
I'm not afraid anymore, let it come
The only sky he ever knew was in his head
Blue didn't make much sense
And clouds formed like they said
And so the question was who cursed this man?
Trapped inside himself in his dark land
As long as daylight shines
The working must be done
Warm sun and winds are singing
Sandals sound a man approaching
A gentle voice rings out
And then He touches my face
Jesus healed my blindness, lifted up the veil
And His light poured on my face
Jesus healed my blindness with His Love
I am alive in His grace
The ship was filling fast
And soon would leave the port
They thought they lived the life
And refused to climb aboard
And so the mighty craft set sail
Left behind were those with blinding veils
You say that you can see
Then why does guilt remain?
Warm sun and winds are singing
Sandals sound a man approaching
A gentle voice rings out
And then He touches my face
Jesus healed my blindness, lifted up the veil
And His light poured on my face
Jesus healed my blindness with His Love
I am alive in His grace
Forgive my human ways
All the times I'm off my knees
I'm just walking backwards faster and faster
Seeking blindly for my peace
Jesus healed my blindness, lifted up the veil
And His light poured on my face
Jesus healed my blindness with His Love
I am alive in His grace
Jesus healed my blindness, lifted up the veil
And His light poured on my face
Jesus healed my blindness with His Love
It must have been nothing new to You
The moment I awoke to know that
I won't make it through on my own
But I recall a promise that You made
The burden won't outweigh
The load that I can bear
Surrounded by Your grace
Into Your hands, hands
Into Your hands, hands
Every burden of my every day
Into Your hands
I find my life is like a dime
Stuck between the cushions
Of a couch until You find and spend
And I know the deeper that I go
To learn to give away
Creates a space more apropos
For a king to rule
Into Your hands, hands
Into Your hands, hands
Every burden of my every day
Into Your hands
I put my burdens in the hands
That put the planets into place
So He will know me on the day
I see Him face to face
A little bit of heaven here on earth
Jesus come to live with me
The day of my new birth
When I finally put it all
Into Your hands, hands
Into Your hands, hands
Every burden of my every day
I wanted to live like you
I wanted to follow follow
Like the bad rules, walking at you
Heels on the road.
But still I slip between
All the cracks, the world can't go
On without you, watching as the
pictures fall below.
Like I now
But you,
You walk out with your hand for me,
And I'd rather hold the sea.
Forgot the sign I hold my life,
Found
Living the life, your light
and I'm free
When I close my eyes
And lay upon it's
So fragile that you love it all.
Put the water in the sea of life
Live inside my soal and I'm free.
The rays were beating down,
and suddenly the storm clouds
Covered up the sky and rang the picture into large.
But he was silent sleeping,
tucked in a corner when they
walked him up they saw their hair
and the wind and rain went calm.
Like you make me come
When,
You walk out with your hand for me,
And I'd rather hold the sea.
Forgot the sign I hold my life,
Found
Living the life, your life
and I'm free
When I close my eyes
And lay upon it's
So fragile that you love it all.
Put the water in the sea of life
Live inside my soal and I'm free.
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na
But you,
You walk out with your hand for me,
And I'd rather hold the sea.
Forgot the sign I hold my life,
Found
Living the life, your life
and I'm free
When I close my eyes
And lay upon it's
So fragile that you love it all.
Put the water in the sea of life
A simple picture lies within the haze today
Kept by gray uncertainty, the cloud of my complacement ways
Somewhere just beyond the darkness of this place (standing here)
You unveil Your glory, even through the melody of songs unheard
Your face reflected there, now lucid where it once was blurred
Chorus:
All around the light is changing
Shining through the fog I see
Giving me a new perspective
One of clarity
A glimmer once imagined, now revealed in truth You hold
In imminence I wait each day and watch Your mystery unfold
Somewhere just beyond the darkness of this place (standing here)
You unveil Your glory, even through the dim
I see it clear
In my mind, dreams grow wild
I catch the breeze, it sends my feet to fly
And on I go in my own world of glory
Just like I'm living in a fairy story
But in the end, I'm only chasing after the wind
What could I acquire
To make my heart delight in what it finds?
Nothing I desire can bring me joy like You
The wind leads on, dancing through the trees
Tripping over meadow brooks, rustling the leaves
And so I follow, intent to taste the bliss
To relish in the feast or awaken to a lover's kiss
But in the end I'm only chasing after the wind
What could I acquire
To make my heart delight in what it finds?
Nothing I desire can bring me joy like You
Her golden treasures
Radiate from skies above
Vast flowing colors
Form a symbol of Your love
Oh no she can't touch you
Oh no she can't see you
But Your splendor's all around her she says
I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset
As You descend my shadow dies
Yellow fades in red horizons
I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset
She comes at dusk
When the waters always clearer
So she can see that perfect image
Glowing off an endless mirror
Oh no she can't touch you
Oh no she can't see you
But your splendor's all around her she says
I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset
As You descend my shadow dies
Yellow fades in red horizons
I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset
I cast my doubts
Far away from such a hand
That paints these inspirations
So my mind can understand, now I say...
I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset
As You descend my shadow dies
Yellow fades in red horizons
Grand ocean reaching
Boundlessly into the skyline
Where the waters end, the shores run free
A perfect design made for me to tend
Sad You needed Your own Son to send
When my footprints are always left behind
And the path forever meets the day
I think I'm needing a tidal wave
An old intriguing wooden pier
Running into the sea
A stretch of shoreline smooth and clear
Separating the pier and me
Step forward slightly careful
So my marks won't taint the sand
But from the pier, I turn to see
A broken path that leads to where I stand
Dark impressions and You weep
Takes a heavy heel to sink so deep
When my footprints are always left behind
And the path forever meets the day
I think I'm needing a tidal wave
What could ever clean the path I left behind
If the water sweeps my prints away?
I think I'm needing a tidal wave
A garden made for me to tend
I fail so You had to send
Your one and only gracious Son
Coming like a tidal wave
Rinsing all I have done
When my footprints are always left behind
And the path forever meets the day
I think I'm needing a tidal wave
What could ever clean the path I left behind
If the water sweeps my prints away?
Her golden treasures
Radiate from skies above
Vast flowing colors
Form a symbol of Your love
Oh no she can't touch you
Oh no she can't see you
But Your splendor's all around her she says
I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset
As You descend my shadow dies
Yellow fades in red horizons
I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset
She comes at dusk
When the waters always clearer
So she can see that perfect image
Glowing off an endless mirror
Oh no she can't touch you
Oh no she can't see you
But your splendor's all around her she says
I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset
As You descend my shadow dies
Yellow fades in red horizons
I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset
I cast my doubts
Far away from such a hand
That paints these inspirations
So my mind can understand, now I say...
I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset
As You descend my shadow dies
Yellow fades in red horizons
I don't need to see You, You're in the sunset (2x)
This is a, this is
a commitment that I hold true
in the things I say, in the things I do
this is something I hold so dear
I choose to keep my mind clear
keep your poisons away from me
I'm gonna live and life is free
addiction is my biggest fear
I choose to keep my mind clear
I choose to live my life the way that's right for me
Three

Clear (Clear)
Clear (Clear)
Clear all this space (Clear all this space)
Clear today (Clear today)
Clear your mind (Clear your mind)
Clear (Clear) behind
Clear this chance for you to find
will mean your mind
or us to say
Tomorrow is a brand new day

Open my eyes
Make me alive
I've searched so long and I've tried so hard to find something to call my everything
I don't think I'd even know Your face if I could see
I've yearned so long and I've cried so hard
I'd come home, but it's hard to fly on tattered wings
The only way I'd make it back is if you carried me
Now open my eyes
Make me alive
All the things I've faced to have my way: I ran from you and it cost me everything
You never saw me as I saw myself
Now, face to face with you I swear I'd stay, even if it cost me everything
Things turn clear in the end
Afterwards weird things seem to make sense
But while in it it's a mess
Drunk turns sober again
Vividly crazy gets hangover in the end
Oh such a mess
It's a fucking mess
I was waiting at your door
Hoping for more
But hey, I want you to know that I'm ready to go on my own
I won't beg on my knees and I won't ask you please
Cause I'm here and I'm now and it's good to be just on my own
Live your dreams at last
Troubled times from now belong to the past
But you miss the mess
Miss the mess, miss the mess, miss the mess
So this is greener grass
Better views new sights should bring meaning to life
But you miss the mess
It's a fucking mess
I was waiting at your door
Hoping for more
But hey, I want you to know that I'm ready to go on my own
I won't beg on my knees and I won't ask you please
Every time I get that I'm so clear feeling
I wonder why I can't hold onto it forever
And Every time I get to whining
And every time I feel like crying
Every time I get that I'm so Clear Feeling
I remind myself, I'll end up fine
Oh I remind myself I'll end up fine
It's been a while since I fell into my bed
And threw the covers over my head and
Hoped the world would be gone when I came out
I guess I'm in a Depression drought and
Rain never seemed so happy before
I want to stand in it till I cannot take anymore
It's been a while since I fell into my waterbed
And pulled the cover over my head and
I remind myself, I'll end up fine
Oh I remind myself I'll end up fine
Wait for me
I don't know what's happening to me
But I'll be back soon
I promise you
It's just a wave
A fit of something I can't escape
But I'll be back soon I promise you
Yeah I'll be back soon I promise you
And I remind myself, I'll end up fine
