Another second passes faces flash before my eyes.
No happy endings when you're left alone to die.
The way the words come out they contradict what I believe
so don't say and suffocate take these chains that I will break.
Fall out fall back on another way.
Some how I know there is another side.
Silently show me how
I'm going to get there. I couldn't get there if I tried.
Is this a means to an end
or just a dying trend?
And when the moments passed I try to think of words to say
to break the silence in this place of hypocrisy.
False explanations why we're made to live the way we do
and why we're taught to follow twisted and outdated rules.
Fall out fall back on another way
for every opinion there's another side.
Silently show me how
I'm going to get there. I couldn't get there if I tried.
Darling can you see something inside
Can't be denied it's the way that you feel
If you want it, you gotta try
Taking the best of the lesson you know
When the night has turned to dawn I will be gone
Where's the reason and the strength to carry on
Taking a chance and forgetting the reason
Come back, I can see you far behind
That I need you on my mind
Is there nothing in the world that takes the sound
Making the best of the season till now
For the more we can conceive the more we found
La la la la
I need the way that you make me feel
Darling can you feel it? I need your love
Taking the best of the lesson you know
Darling if you want it, you can be sure
There so many in the stars watching the sky
And you know somehow that most of them will die
Can't be denied it's the way that you feel
Darling can you see something inside
Taking the best of the lesson you know
If you want it, you gotta try
When the night has turned to dawn I will be gone
Where's the reason and the strength to carry on
Welcome to my latest disaster
Same book just another chapter
Never thought it could be worse than last year
But here I am again today
I laugh cause it hurts when I scream
But I'll make it through cause I believe
That even when my heart breaks
And everything's shaking
I'm left alone in the rain
You won't
You won't
Won't
You won't let me go
Life's insane
And everything's crazy
You carry me through the pain
And You won't
You won't
Won't
You won't let me go
You won't let me go
Here we go it's a three ring circus
Juggling it all trying to find my purpose
With each new day
I'm praying just to make it through
When my next diaster is near
I know that You'll meet me right here
So I won't fear
Cause even when my heart breaks
And everything's shaking
I'm left alone in the rain
You won't
You won't
Won't
You won't let me go
Life's insane
And everything's crazy
You carry me through the pain
And You won't
You won't
Won't
You won't let me go
I feel Your love that surrounds me
My world can shake but it won't drown me
Cause I'm trusting You
No matter what I'm going through
Cause even when my heart breaks
And everything's shaking
I'm left alone in the rain
You won't
You won't
Won't
You won't let me go
Life's insane
And everything's crazy
You carry me through the pain
And You won't
You won't
Won't
You won't let me go
You won't
You won't let me go
Yeah, You won't
You won't let me go
Forever Springtime
Springtime was her favorite time of year.
She loved to see the pretty flowers bloom.
And everyday she whispered “thank you Lord.”
Cause she could see them from the window in her room.
Now and again her children came to see her.
But not as often as she would have liked.
Her smile was like a golden ray of sunshine.
She was living in the winter of her life
The doctor said the end was drawing nearer.
Her children came to sit close by her side.
They whispered “Momma, is there anything that we can do for you?”
She held their hands and this was her reply.
Chorus
“Don’t cry for me, I’m going home to see my Savior.
There’s a garden He’s been tending just for me.
Why I can almost smell the sweet perfume of roses on the vine
Dry your eyes. Don’t you cry.
I’m just going where it is forever springtime.
Promise me some day you’ll come and see me.
I’ll be waiting by the crystal sea.
Where the Tree of Life is blooming.
That’s where you will find me.
And we’ll praise our Lord throughout eternity.
Chorus
Forever springtime.
It was Charlie who taught me to ride on a bike
It was Charlie who taught me 'bout flyin' a kite
It was Charlie who taught me the beauty of dreams
He'd say "Life's so much more than it seems"
He looked like a scarecrow so ragged and thin
When he knocked at the farmhouse door
I could tell that my mother was nervous at first
With my father away in the war
He said he was hungry from waking so far,
But a handout never would do
"Now my name is Charlie and for something to eat
I could predict the weather for you"
He talked of the talent with which he was blessed
"It's an odd sort of gift," he explained
"But the Lord makes the weather and I just observe
And only a fool could complain"
As night time was falling we asked him to stay
And he camped by the sycamore trees
My mother asked "What will you do if it rains?"
Charlie smiled and said, "Just leave the weather to me"
In the wandering breeze I can hear again
The song that Charlie the weatherman sang
Sweet breath of God blow he clouds away
'Til I walk in the light of that endless spring day
Now Charlie stayed with us as days turned to weeks
It seemed that somehow he belonged
And I'd always tease him when he watched the sky
But his forecasts never were wrong
And Charlie would tell me a story each night
From the tattered old bible he read
"Winter or summer, spring time or fall
It's the weather inside us that matters" he said.
One morning at breakfast he seemed a bit sad
With a far away look in his eyes, "Storms rollin' in"
That was all he said though there wasn't a cloud in the sky
The last time I saw him he waved his old hat
As he stood at the of the hill
He left me his bible and in it he wrote
"Keep your eyes on the sky" and I always will
And it rained and rained like the tears I cried
The day that Charlie the weatherman died
And the wind has carried his heart away
Past the silver-lined clouds to that endless spring day
I try to see myself in a different light
Isolation
Storms, they used to move me
Winds, they used to change me
In this state I can take what I hate
Isolation
I used to tell myself that it wasn’t right
Isolation
Storms, they used to move me
Winds, they used to change me
In this state I can take what I hate
Isolation
Living
Falling
Make your move
Isolate
Storms, they used to move me
Winds, they used to change me
In this state I can take what I hate
Isolation
Stories told through your life
So many meanings held inside
There for you to see
Beyond the doors of broken dreams
Are they real or fantasy
You may never know
Tales on your TV... in papers, magazines
All you see is pain, to spike right through your brain
Stories, Stories, Stories...
Now inside this living hell
The fires burn... the violence swells
Is it destiny
Time to face judgment day
On your knees, time to pray
To the lord above
Sure he's heard the lies
The twisted truths... the cries
They fall on his deaf ear
His punishment we fear
Stories, stories... They will somehow find you
Stories, stories... There to remind you
Stories, stories... Beware which ones you follow
Stories, stories... Here today, gone tomorrow
Stories, stories... True-false, we always listen
Yo Fiend, what up man? (Yo, yo)
You rollin' with these Legit Ballaz right? (Whomp)
Aight, well check it out
Won't you tell these muthafuckaz a lil' bit about where you come from
Fire arms, sounds of alarms
Consistency in bodily harm
Where I'm from that's the norm
Fiend the ?
Lil' nigga ain't no man of creaton
Once we encounter the killin' spree we on
My defects have G's bet on
Niggaz dollars get they rep on
Speakin' with heat ? could bring death on
Nigga I'm called the killa
Cause every time he get it, it brought chills
Lead that's what made 'em take his ass for real
I done ? survivor
He never wrote the name of his drivers
And wondered that the man can deprive ya
It's there in black ink
With millions in dirty green had to think
Lives depreciated over drinks
Call me twisted
Rope burns to the neck was insisted
And all his hope turned to "I guess should I risk it?"
And that's why the law is laid down
You know what I'm sayin'?
From Fiend to N.O. to Chi, Twista
Pimp run it now
Now to my hustlaz slangin' cain
I said some survive the game
Some just get they names in the stories to be told
Why the young never make it old
Now to my hustlaz slangin' cain
I said some survive the game
Some just get they names in the stories to be told
Why the young never make it old (Why the young never make it old)
I live my life drownin' in homicide
Never let the drama slide
We killaz quick to let it ride
Send a nigga beddy-by when I let it fly
Niggaz be yappin' but they scared to die
Talkin' plenty shit till I cap off with the .45
Look into these smoke red eyes, feel me starvin'
Feel me shakin' up that dope in my apartment
And picture me on top of the world and still servin'
Blessin' all my shorties with birds to keep 'em workin'
As long as my hood is tight, my mind is right
Look at the dope line tonight, just doin' aight
For the nugs
Y'all got paper, I got paper so let's find some ass to jug
This struggle for power keeps us all up to no good
With constant heat, we cruise the streets like cops on D's
With the itchy sittin' dead on the seat
For the wicked and weak, tryin' to get down on what we put down
For this grid-ound, that's why we stand firm with these rid-ounds
Never thought that the cries of my people would get louder
When Chief first came home with that glistenin' white powder
But it gave us power
Never thought them ? packs that had us buyin' clothes and pullin' hoes
Would have our new Starter jackets filled with bullet holes
(That's how it goes)
And who would have ever thought that when we would rock this shit
That we would end up gettin' our whole block lit
By-standers got hit up
And who would have ever thought that women would be up on silent nights
Lightin' pilot lights
I would be crept on my a mask on silent nights
Now I'm wonderin' and thinkin', how can a man make a sack ??
Flip a new Lac with his work
End up in the back of hearse
Then be packed in the dirt
? over turf, can you hear the Mack when it burst
He get cracked where it hurts
Feel the automatic when it jerks
Comin' up in the land where the white and blue Dracula's lurk
Is that what it's worth naw, niggaz got the chrome in ? in the whip
Never let the law get the low on the licks
Bet they got a mob and they mob full of tricks
You ain't on yo P's, you gotta be
Fuck a ? strategy, don't be punked like no lame
You just a Bone in the game
Who will buy a glad story
That a young man has to tell?
Come into my house of glory
And I will treat you well.
Who will buy a sad story
That a widow has to tell?
Come into my house of lonely
And I will treat you well.
Young and old, we all have stories
That we all must try to sell
Tales of how you get to heaven
And how we been through hell
Who will buy a perfumed story
That a young girl has to tell?
Sleep with me on satin pillows
I heard one today about the one I love
I heard one earlier that shook me up
I heard one the other day,cant believe it's true
I heard one by accident wish I had it
a place that time forgot
i'm walking in a place forgotten
how did we make it out this far
you cannot tell me that im dreaming
this place is everything i want
i am here with you
i am not without
you take me away
but will you show me the way home
have my footsteps been buried
i know we will not soon forget this
even when we are far from here
this moment only lasts forever in our minds
but i know well be here again
i know i'll miss you in september
but sometimes things just come between
This time let's not bring up my disasters
Or put me on some couch like Sigmund Freud
Your textbooks filled with hypothetical answers
So to summarize she called it null and void
What do you want me to tell you?
What do you want me to say?
I've been cut by the rose again
All the petals have fallen to pieces
Now I'm left with the thorn and the stem
I'm out looking for my friends
I'm looking for my friends
She left the note in the sleeve of my coat
That was not nice
I called her on the phone, the voice that spoke
It was cold, it was hard as ice
I tried to speak, the connection was weak
'Cause I was talking to a machine
She said, "If this is you, we're totally through"
And that's the last of her I've seen
What do you want me to tell you?
I got the message loud and clear
I've been cut by the rose again
All the petals have fallen to pieces
Now I'm left with the thorn and the stem
I'm out looking for my friends
I'm looking for my friends, looking for my friends
Now I can't talk, see talk is cheap
I'm in a no-win situation
There are no words that I could speak
That would mend this broken rose
So here I am on the couch of a friend
Who submits his observations
He says love comes and goes
I've been cut by the rose again
All the petals have fallen to pieces
Now I'm left with the thorn and the stem
I'm out looking for my friends
Looking for my friends, looking for my friends
Looking for my friends, looking for my friends
I'm looking for my friends, looking for my friends
Everything you lose everything you gain
Caught in the pain everything to lose
Everything to gain so confuse
No one to blame story of my life
Everything you lose everything you gain
Caught in the pain everything to lose
Everything to gain so confuse

Where the hell is my wife or at least misses right
Or at least for tonight can I least take you home

[?] flows in my bones recording a song at night
It [?] my soul on ice [?] I am a man suppose to fight
To dream you are right
[Chorus:]
Caught in the pain everything to lose
Everything to gain so confuse
No one to blame story of my life
Everything you lose everything you gain
Caught in the pain everything to lose
Everything to gain so confuse
No one to blame story of my life
Everything you lose everything you gain
Can't get a script from the bloggers
Can't get a script from the labels
[?] slipping on me now [?] unstable
Got to [?] though I got my eyes on the clock
Never drink but I swear right now
I may use a shot of scotch
A little [?] just a little something to blaze
[?] for this uncomfortable [?] right now I am on tour
And I think that might cure at least I [?]
Moments have been sent chasing my dream [?]
Tell me why I still feel pain
Tell me why things don't change
Try to make it to the top
But it stay [?] I probably miss my aim
[?] can't even look to the sky
Cause I got to much pride
Wanna know the story of my life
Look in my eyes
[Chorus:]
Caught in the pain everything to lose
Everything to gain so confuse
No one to blame story of my life

Caught in the pain everything to lose
Everything to gain so confuse
No one to blame story of my life

Bet that I am right or I am wrong
This is the story of my life got to be known
Hope you know more with every song
So many stories

This is the story of my life got to be known
Hope you know more with every song
Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue
Oh Mammy Blue
Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue
Oh Mammy Blue
I may be your forgotten son
Who wandered off at twenty-one
It's sad to find myself at home
Without you
If I could only hold your hand
And say I'm sorry, yes I am
I'm sure you'll really understand
Oh Mammy
Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue
Oh Mammy Blue
Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue
Je suis parti un soir d'été
Sans dire un mot sans t'embrasser
Sans un regard sur le passé-é
Dès que j'ai franchi la frontière
Le vent soufflait plus fort qu'hier
Quand j'étais près de toi ma mère-è-re
Oh Mammy, oh Mammy Mammy Blue
Oh Mammy Blue
She's got a story she tells to everyone.
Her words are lovely lies that roll off her tounge.
And it's all that I wanted
Brother Louie - Stories
She was black as the night
Louie was whiter than white
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar
Louie fell in love overnight
Nothing bad, it was good
Louie had the best girl he could
When he took her home
To meet his mama and papa
Louie knew just where he stood
Louie Louie Louie, Louie
Louie Louie Lou-I
Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie you're gonna cry
[Instrumental Interlude]
There he stood in the night
Knowing what's wrong from what's right
He took her home to meet his mama and papa
Man, he had a terrible fright
Louie nearly caused a scene
Wishin' it was a dream
Ain't no diff'rence if you're black or white
Brothers, you know what I mean
Louie Louie Louie, Louie
Louie Louie Lou-I
Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie you're gonna cry
[Instrumental Interlude]
Louie Louie Louie, Louie
Louie Louie Lou-I
Louie Louie Louie
Louie Louie you're gonna cry
Louie Louie Louie, Louie
Louie Louie Louie Louie Lou-I
Louie Louie Louie
All he wanted was a simple life he said
I can never be anything you wanted
I can never be anything you needed
All she wanted was a simple life she said
You can never be anything I wanted
You can never be anything I needed
Do we call this the end
It feels like I am waiting like an inmate
hoping for my someday
Remember when we began
Life was like a new born baby breathing
Those were the ways of the days
So don't don't don't don't
Put us in a place we never wanted
Just don't make us fake
Don't don't don't
I kinda sorta like the way
We make each other think
All he told her were some simple lies he said
I only told you everything you wanted
Only told you everything you needed
All she heard were his simple lies she said
You never told me anything I wanted
Never told me anything I needed
Now we call this the end
It felt like I was waiting like an inmate
Now I've got my someday
Remember when we began
Life was life a new born baby breathing
Those were the ways of the days
So don't don't don't don't
Put us in a place we never wanted
Just don't make us fake
Don't don't don't
I kinda sorta like the way
We make each other think
If you could see the way I'd love to feel again
(Don't make us fake don't make us fake)
If we could make a way would you want to make amends
Do you feel this way
So don't don't don't don't
Put us in a place we never wanted
Just don't make us fake
Don't don't don't
I kinda sorta like the way
We make each other think
The cold night wasn't trouble enough for him
Another swallow never seemed like enough for him
They say the past is the past but it never treated me like this
He couldn't ask for a better understanding of how
What goes around comes back around twice as fast
He's got no hope for a cure so he'll put himself to sleep, oh
Now we just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react
So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak
Oh, and use up all the time you're given
The start to the finish come on and let me hear it, go on
Go ahead and tell your story
She always hoped for him to take her word for word
Never knew what it felt like feeling this unsure
She's got her eyes on the time
But there's no use waiting there for him
But she's not in the world alone
But she wanted to put herself to sleep
So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak
Oh, and use up all the time you're given
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear it
Go on, go ahead and tell your stories, your stories, oh
Now we just sit back, we sit back
While we watch all of them react
So tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear you speak
Oh, and use up all the time you're given
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear it
Tell me what to tell you when the world won't listen
The start to the finish, come on and let me hear
You got to speak, oh, and use up all the time you're given
Just outside the place
Two people face
Each other merely by chance
Abandoned by words
And the purpose they serve
It stops them right in their tracks
How long has it been
Since this feeling within
Has made you forget who you are?
Let's you believe once more in the moon
Let's you have faith again in the stars
Let's you go free 'cause someone broke through
The wall around your heart
Now the world is unkind most of the time
And most of the time we survive
Hard look at yourselves and love double crosses
That all broken hearts seem to find
After giving too much
They're afraid of the touch
'Cause the last just left a scar
If you believe once more in the moon
And if you have faith again in the stars
You can go free 'cause someone broke through
The wall around your heart
There's walls made of steel
There was walls made of stone
But none are so strong
As the walls made of fear alone
Sooner or later, it's all human nature
Propelling you forward again
It's the step and the chance, the turn and a glance
Asking, where in the world have you been?
But you don't have to answer
'Cause now you're a dancer
And the music is ready to start
You can believe once more in the moon
You have faith again in the stars
And you can go free 'cause someone broke through
The wall around your heart
You can go free 'cause someone broke through
The wall around your heart
Stories - VIKTOR LAZLO, 1986
I remember quite clearly now when this story happened.
The autumn leaves were floating and measured down to the ground.
Recovering the lake where we use to swim like children
On the sun would dare to shine. That time, we used to be happy
Well, I thought we were, But the truth was that—
you had been longing to leave me, Not daring to tell me
On that precious night watching the lake vaguely conscious
You said: Our story was ending. Now I'm standing here
No one to wipe away my tears, No one to keep me warm
And no one to walk along with, No one to make me feel
No one to make me while, OH! What am I to do?
I'm standing here alone, It doesn't seem so clear to me
What am I supposed to do about this burning, heart of mine
OH! What am I to do? Or how should I react? OH! Tell me please!
The rain was killing the last days of Summer
You had been killing my last breath of love
Since a long time ago
I still don't think I am gunna make it through another love story
You took it all away from me
And there I stand, I knew I was gonna be the ...
The one left behind.
But still I'm watching the lake vaguely conscious
Get into the car and keep it down
City lights look like warnings nowShe‘s got someone that pays for thingsTrust me she won‘t miss a thing
Come with meAnd believe me
Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)
I get by on what I haveLess than Jesus More than dadEnough to keep me in this stateTicking through to the next escape
Come with meAnd believe me
Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)
I woke up late And I rolled the stoneLaziness and death in oneYou were once a gentlemanEnded up a bitter man
Come with meAnd believe me
Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)Yeah (Happy people have no stories)
Happy people have no stories.
The wind changed and your face stayed
Mild and motionless
As we swayed with memories
And I am waiting and wasted
I'm trying to fight my way through
I've doubts about me and you
I don't know what to think
We came so quick
And hope its not gone wrong
Questions are always boring
Just wanted to hear that story
About how your weekend all went wrong
And how they played your favourite song
I can pretend this dream of you died with summer
But as we both know that's not true
So again I'll try for
Conversations that stay strong
Jokes that don't go wrong
But forcing smiles never worked against stopped clocks
You're already gone
Questions are always boring
Just wanted to hear that story
About how your weekend all went wrong
And how they played your favourite song
Questions are always boring
Never wondered if you heard that story
I found out "He's so great" and you're "So Happy"
I woke up tonight
And found my hands useless
And it felt far away
With raging tides outside
That seeked to break the window panes
My throat is clutched tight
Perceptions dance in black and white
Searching for acquaintance in your name
Just don't choose these words
Never to be told
'Cause chances leave more quickly
Than you can regret
And someone will be thankful
Once these words are said
So I found you
With your head held high
With words I can't forget
With words I cannot hide
Dear father please have faith in me
I sure have done more things wrong than I've done right
But on that day
I will tell a story
Of friends and hardships worth
And if it takes a lifetime
For this to come true
Where would I be without you
Don't let me be mistaken
Just this once
We still got time
When we were young stories were told
That I would kiss you sweet like
People said there was a connection between us
Now that we're older stories are told
Of how I hold you tight
Whenever I see those people
I tell them were right
Stories will be told
From when our children are young
Until they're old
About our endless love
We must have been a blessing from above
Stories will be told, oh
Until we're old
Stories will be told
Until the end of time
Stories will be told
Until we're old
Stories will be told
Until the end of time
Until the sun won't rise, oh
Let me tell you mine, oh
Let me tell you mine
It all started on 77th Street
When we were just thirteen
I had no cares at all
Until I saw you from the corner of my eye
It changed my views
It changed my whole life
Stories will be told
From when our children are young
Until they're old
About our endless love
We must have been a blessing from above
Stories will be told
From when our children are young
Until they're old
About our endless love
I'm not giving up this time.
Well, say that you're mine?
I'd be lost without you.
Lost in dreams of compromise...
Sick, saddened mind.
Sometimes I'm wrapped in sorrow.
She said:
"Calm down, get in bed."
I think it's been said...
"I can't give enough, can't build love, baby."
Imagine.
She'll say:
I'm not the one to chase your demon away.
I'm not the one who left you stranded and cold,
left your heart with these holes."
I'll just say:
"I can't fix this, I'm nothing, I'm nothing."
She sits in the corner
Where it's reasonably quiet
Drinking coffee with cream
Thinking stories of young love
She calls to the waiter
'Won't you lend me some time?
You can sit by my side
And I'll let you be friends with mine.'
The cafe is old
But the candlelight's new
She orders Beaujolais wine
And says 'I've thought of you too'
She whispers 'Isn't it odd
You remind me of songs
That I'd rather forget
Like feelings I longed for
You haunt me inside
Sometimes I recall
Question mistakes
Who grew to nothing at all'
I hear voices that cry
And one of them's mine
All the things I could say
Are the reasons I can't
She says 'I've seen you before
In thoughts I call 'son'
Like an old film with sound
When the link comes undone'
The waiter is me
And the woman is you
And we are the story
Just like others I knew
I found a line and then it grew
I found myself still thinking of you
I felt so empty and now I'm fine
But still it's burning, when will you be mine?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time for change, don't you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
(I think it's time for us to walk away from here)
Stories in our lives, we keep them all inside
Look at me still in your mind
Our memories so intertwined
Well you broke through and found your way
And so did I no need to stay
The same old picture, tried and true
Been through there, let's look for something new
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time for change, don't you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
(I think it's time for us to walk away from here)
Do you remember lying on the beach so late at night
Do you remember running through the sprinklers that night
Do you remember all the songs that I have wrote for you,
All the songs that I have wrote for you
(For you)
I remember,the way you made me feel when I was with you
I remember,the smile that always brought me back to you
That look in your eyes, I never thought that this could be untrue
Too much of the same stories in our lives
I think it's time for change, don't you?
Too much of the same stories in our lives
(I think it's time for us to walk away from here)
