Crouching down inside a deep ravine
Those angry cries pass quickly by, he can't be seen So many ways spent hiding in so many undone plans Forgetting what it's like to fight when no one understands Close call there in the shadows There's a fear in the dark There's one out there All those memories, pain and anger, flood back one by one They must be just around the bend, they always come At night as I lay sleeping they come to me in herds Their lies remain, the dreams the same, it's only fleeting words No one calls there in the shadows There's no end to the dark But there's one out there, no one but me The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me No way's the right way. Is there a way out for me? My life's slipping out Rising up, the night is done, and now the bright lights come Held back in my pitied world where everything's undone A cold wind blows right through me, I'm made a hollow shell There's nothing left, just ash remains, enrich the soil, no soil, no soil Close call there in the shadows There's an end to the dark 'Cause there's someone out there Someone like me The hours pass so slowly, the life's slipping out of me No way's the right way, is there a way out for me The hours pass so slowly The life's slipping out of me Is there a way out for me? The hours pass so slowly The life's slipping out of me Is there a way out for me? There must be a way out for me |

In the desert of my dreams I saw you there
And I'm walking towards the water steaming body cold and bare but your words cut loose the fire and you left my soul to bleed And the pain that's in your eyes decieving me has go me scared Oh Why? Through your eyes the stairs of battle like a brooding storm Your up and down these pristing velvet walls like focus never forms My walls are getting wider and my eyes are drawn astray I see you now a wauge deception of a dying day Oh Why? I fall into the water and once more I turn to you And the crowds were standing staring faceless cutting off my view to you They start to limply flail their bodies in a twisted mime And I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I'm lain entwined Your gone and I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I'm lain entwined Oh Why? |

We walk without a sound across a barren landscape
Your eyes are twisted down to a dew entrailed ground We watch the stars as they slowly fade away and in the clearing sky I see The cold stone face of morning setting in on me It's a strange world It's a very strange world that leaves me Holding on to nothing when there's nothing left to lose Your touch is cold and damp, the devil's in your eyes I wonder why I always let you lead me on this way 'Cause you see only what you want to see You feel only what you want to And I am on the outside of your strange world It's a strange world It's a very strange world that leaves me Holding on to nothing when there's nothing left to lose We're walking hand in hand, we'll walk this way forever Our eyes have risen to the water's edge watching with the tides The stars have fallen to another day and the sun warms our path to Find the reasons leave us far behind in our strange world It's a strange world It's a very strange world that leaves me Holding on to nothing when there's nothing left to lose |

Somewhere deep inside me
I hold a picture of a time long gone A time of ease and simple pleasures And days in shadows not so long Now with my mind I'm struggling Holding on to what I believe Listen to the fragments of my thoughts That leave me broken and deceived 'cause I don't know the way He said "i can take you there, I can show you places where our time has had no ware" And as we walked the plains The skies they opened wide Revealing all the shame for what's been lost inside us all [Chorus] It's a day in the life In my mind I've seen it all Sometime soon for all to see The walls are slowly breaking down In my mind I've seen it all And someday we'll be free We're searching for a message Or so I thought but so it seems The ignorance in the myths of others Is easier to redeem I've never questioned the answers given To find the faith that's been lost within 'cause where I lay my trust in others Where it lies the ground is thin 'cause I don't know the way He said "i can take you there, I can show you places where our time has had no ware" And as we walked the plains The skies they opened wide Revealing all the shame for what's been lost inside us all [Chorus: x2] I know you say you love me If what you say is true So show me something that's not deceiving 'cause I wouldn't lie to you [Chorus] |

You're always waiting on the tide
It's time you decide I've walked down long roads that seem to have no end at all You never wanted time to end To let my life offend It's time to realize what hides deep inside your holy eyes Hold on tight, hold on fast This ain't the kind that always lasts If you want me to go just ask me to go, I'll go All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you Run away my love, over the hills and right on through you Over the hills and right on through you Lying awake in these restless dreams Life's never what it seems I've always tried to read your eyes To get inside that scornful mind Hold on tight, hold on fast This ain't the kind that always lasts If you want me to go just ask me to go, I'll go All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you Run away my love, over the hills and right on through you Over the hills and right on through you I was with you on that pallet steaming Spinning 'round in circles dreaming I was with you on that pallet steaming Running 'round in circles screaming... All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you... Run away my love, over the hills and right on through All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you... Run away my love, over the hills and right on through |

A time so haunting moonlight in the mist
Lay me down Beside you oh as long as it lasts From the river comes a Figure drifting slowly by Trailing long the water, leaving softer than a sigh Softer than a sigh All the feelings they remain like a still life A dying swan song forever lost your cries of glory The rain is falling down like silence in a shroud When All that really matters left to lose I'm all alone I'm all alone All the feelings they remain like a still life A dying swan song forever lost your cries of glory Walking from the shadows, a fear of sadness grows Your heart is in your hand your knowing looks Our Time is gone My time is gone Swan's dying song... |

On the hills of fire the darkest hour
I was dreaming of my true love's pyre Who will bring a light to stoke the fire Fear not for you're still breathing On a winter's day I saw the life blood drained away A cold wind blows on a windless day Hear the cry for new life the morning's flame You were the brightest light that burned too soon in vain Who will bring you back from where there's no return Fear not for you're just dreaming On a winter's day I saw the life blood drained away A cold wind blows on a windless day |

Listen as the wind blows
from across the great divide voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time the night is my companion, and solitude my guide would I spend forever here and not be satisfied? And I would be the one to hold you down kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away and after, I'd wipe away the tears just close your eyes dear Through this world I've stumbled so many times betrayed trying to find an honest word to find the truth enslaved oh you speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhymes my body aches to breathe your breath your words keep me alive And I would be the one to hold you down kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away and after, I'd wipe away the tears just close your eyes dear Into this night I wander it's morning that I dread another day of knowing of the path I fear to tread oh into the sea of waking dreams I follow without pride nothing stands between us here and I won't be denied and I would be the one to hold you down kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away and after, I'd wipe away the tears just close your eyes... |

Under a blackened sky
Far beyond the glaring streetlights Sleeping on empty dreams The vultures lie in wait You lay down beside me then You were with me every waking hour So close I could feel your breath When all we wanted was the dream To have and to hold that precious little thing Like every generation yields The new born hope unjaded by their years Pressed up against the glass I found myself wanting sympathy But to be consumed again Oh I know would be the death of me And there is a love that's inherently given A kind of blindness offered to appease And in that light of forbidden joy Oh I know I won't receive it When all we wanted was the dream To have and to hold that precious little thing Like every generation yields The newborn hope unjaded by their years You know if I leave you now It doesn't mean that I love you any less It's just the state I'm in I can't be good to anyone else like this When all we wanted was the dream To have and to hold that precious little thing Like every generation yields The new born hope unjaded by their years... |

I looked into your eyes
they told me plenty I already knew you never felt a thing so soon forgotten all that you do in more than words I tried to tell you the more I tried I failed I would not let myself believe that you might stray and I would stand by you no matter what they'd say, I would have thought I'd be with you until my dying day until my dying day I used to think my life was often empty a lonely space to fill you hurt me more than I ever would have imagined you made my world stand still and in that stillness there was a freedom I never felt before I would not let myself believe that you might stray and I would stand by you no matter what they'd say, I would have thought I'd be with you until my dying day until my dying day |

Hey your glass is empty
it's a hell of a long way home Why don't you let me take you it's no good to go alone I never would have opened up but you seemed so real to me After all the bullshit I've heard it's refreshing not to see I don't have to pretend she doesn't expect it from me So don't tell me I haven't been good to you Don't tell me I haven't been there for you Just tell me why nothing is good enough Hey little girl would you like some candy, your momma said that it's o.k., The door is open come on outside, no I can't come out today, It's not the wind that cracked your shoulder and threw you to the ground, Who's there that makes you so afraid you're shaken to the bone, You know I don't understand, you deserve so much more than this So don't tell me why he's never been good to you, Don't tell me why he's never been there for you, And I'll tell you that why is simply not good enough, So just let me try and I will be good to you Just let me try and I will be there for you, I'll show you why you're so much more than good enough |

Mary walks
down to the water's edge And there she hangs her head To find herself faded A shadow of what she once was She said How long have I been sleeping And why do I feel so old Why do I feel so cold My heart is saying one thing But my body won't let go With trembling hands she reaches up A stranger's flesh is offered And I would be the last to know I would be the last the let it show I would be the last to go Take her hand she will lead you Through the fire oh give you back hope And hope that you won't take too much Respecting what is left she cradled us She held us in her arms Unselfish in her suffering She could not understand That no one seemed to have the time To cherish what was given Oh and I would be the last to know And I would be the last to let it show I would be the last to go Mary walks Oh and I would be the last to know And I would be the last to let it show I would be the last to go |

I love the time and in between
The calm inside me In the space where I can breathe I believe there is a Distance I have wandered To touch upon the years of Reaching out and reaching in Holding out holding in I believe This is heaven to no one else but me And I'll defend it as long as I can be Left here to linger in silence If I choose to Would you try to understand I know this love is passing time Passing through like liquid I am drunk in my desire But I love the way you smile at me I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near I believe I believe This is heaven to no one else but me And I'll defend it as long as I can be left here to linger in silence If I choose to Would you try to understand Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free The mold that clings like desperation Mother can't you see I've got To live my life the way I feel is right for me Might not be right for you but it's right for me I believe I believe This is heaven to no one else but me And I'll defend it as long as I can be left here to linger in silence If I choose to Would you try to understand it I would like to linger here in silence If I choose to Would you understand it Would you try to understand |

There are two of us talking in circles
And one of us who wants to leave In a world created for only us An empty cage that has no key Don't you know we're working with flesh and blood Carving out of jealousy Crawling into each other it's smothering Every little part of me What kind of love is this that keeps me Hanging on Despite everything it's doing to me What is this love that keeps me coming Back for more When it will only end in misery I know too many people unhappy In a life from which they'd love to flee Watching others get everything offered They're wanton for discovery Oh my brother my sister my mother You're loosing your identity Can't you see that it's you in the window Shining with intensity What kind of love is this that keeps me Hanging on Despite everything it's doing to me What is this love that keeps me coming Back for more When it will only end in misery |

The ice is thin come on dive in
underneath my lucid skin. The cold is lost, forgotten. Hours pass days pass time stands still light gets dark and darkness fills my secret heart forbidden... I think you worried for me then the subtler ways that I'd give in but I know you liked the show. Tied down to this bed of shame you tried to move around the pain but oh your soul is anchored. The only comfort is the moving of the river. You enter into me a lie upon your lips. Offer what you can I'll take all that I can get only a fool's here... I dont like your tragic sighs as if your god has passed you by well hey fool that's your deception. Your angels speak with jilted tongue the serpent's tale has come undone you have no strength to squander. The only comfort is the moving of the river. You enter into me a lie upon your lips. Offer what you can I'll take all that I can get only a fool's here to stay. Only a fool's here to stay. Only a fool's here... |

Morning smiles
like the face of a newborn child innocent unknowing Winter's end promises of a long lost friend speaks to me of comfort but I fear I have nothing to give I have so much to lose here in this lonely place tangled up in our embrace there's nothing I'd like better than to fall but I fear I have nothing to give Wind in time rapes the flower trembling on the vine nothing yields to shelter it from above they say temptation will destroy our love the never ending hunger but I fear I have nothing to give I have so much to lose here in this lonely place tangled up in our embrace there's nothing I'd like better than to fall but I fear I have nothing to give I have so much to lose I have nothing to give We have so much to lose... |

All the fear has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore. It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh. it's my mouth that pushes out this breath and if I shed a tear I won't cage it. I won't fear love and if I feel a rage I won't deny it. I won't fear love. Companion to our demons they will dance and we will play. With chairs candles and clothes making darkness in the day. It will be easy to look in or out upstream or down without a thought and if I shed a tear I won't cage it. I won't fear love and if I feel a rage I won't deny it. I won't fear love. Peace in the struggle to find peace. Comfort on the way to comfort and if I shed a tear I won't cage it. I won't fear love and if I feel a rage I won't deny it I won't fear love. I won't fear love. I won't fear love... |

Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea betore Crown and anchor me Or let me sail away Blue, here is a song for you Ink of a pin Underneath the skin An empty space to fill in Well there're so many sinking now You've got to keep thinking You can make it through these waves Acid, booze, and ass Needles, guns, and grass Lots of laughs, lots of laughs Well everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go Well I don't think so But I'm gonna take a look around it though Blue, I love you Blue, here is a shell for you Inside you'll hear a sigh A foggy lullaby There is your song from me |
