Why do you -- Invade me I beg you -- don't leave me Don't trust you -- don't trust me I stand here -- benignly
What is inside that's pushing me We're all a puppet on a string This wooden world is just like me We're all puppets on a string -- on a string
I hurt you -- you killed me I love you -- you hated me You gave in -- it thrilled me You sex was -- fulfilling
What is inside that's pushing me Like a puppet on a string This wooden world is just like me We're all puppets on a string -- on a string
I hurt you -- you tortured me I love you -- you hated me You gave in -- it thrilled me Your sex was fulfilling I hurt you -- you cut me Your painful emission of how you felt How you felt -- how you felt My ego -- could not take
What is inside that's pushing me Like a puppet on a string This wooden world is just like me We're all puppets on a string -- on a string
We're all puppets on a string You buried me You buried me on a string
So -- so incomplete we look into the world -- find no peace once -- it seemed serene we'd be forever young and so it seemed what does it mean -- I find no answers kept in a dream -- soft colored layers
I see myself through the looking glass a shade of gray a shade of black no ups or downs just in betweens
The gentle rain begins to fall come with me and see it all
Rise above the world upon my wings I was sleeping with the sky beneath my feet
Now I drift endless and free with the wind that carries me what does it mean -- what does it matter kept in a dream with soft colored layers
The gentle rain begins to fall come with me and see it all
Rise above the world upon my wings I was sleeping with the sky beneath my feet
Overtake me -- seize the vision through my eyes and reinstate me -- bathe me in your sunlight until I know -- until I know
constant motion -- kept me standing still howling silence -- penetrate and break my will
so re-embrace me -- the release me one more time until I know -- until I know so re-embrace me -- the release me one more time until I know -- until I know
Liquid fused around my body swimming in the night's black water justifies a child's exsistance innocence abounds within us but what does it matter
Watch my hand turn shades of gray feel my life's breath fade away soon I'll walk through gates of steel to a place not yet revealed but what does it matter
Hello death, hello death hello death -- how do you do? I don't remember calling you
All I need is just a drink of water help me Jesus -- try to ease my pain all I need is just to drink your water hello Mr. Death please go away
Here I go into the earth and here I'll wait until my birth I will rise again someday tranquility will find a way but what does it matter
Hello death, hello death hello death -- how do you do? I don't remember calling you
All I need is just a drink of water help me Jesus -- try to ease my pain all I need is just to drink your water hello Mr. Death please go away
I'm walkin' down these dark streets - all alone a light ahead free coffee if you have no home a parking lot full of people - same as me waiting for the Messiah - his shift will start at three
He's a real convenience store messiah idol worship for an idle mind he's a real convenience store messiah turning bottled water into win
waiting for the papers to come outside they make such nice warm blankets - get in line sometimes he might let us - stay inside the only one who will listen he can be so kind
He's a real convenience store messiah idol worship for an idle mind he's a real convenience store messiah turning bottled water into wine
(They see through eyes) looking through his window (a glowing light) staring at his vision late at night (they idolize, they realize) reaching out their hands
He's a real convenience store messiah idol worship for an idle mind he's a real convenience store messiah turning bottled water into wine
I will rise up - over this 'till I come to a higher place I will find strength - let go of all the ties to my disgrace
I'm no more - and no less than anyone else looking for a new horizon I can find in myself
(It's all right) the shadow's gone (shine your light) with the risin' sun (It's all right) take me as I am (yeah yeah yeah) cuz here I stand
No hesitation - holdin' back I'll take each step one by one but I might fall - I could stray If I loose my eye's today
I'm only one in a crowd I'm just one voice on the line looking for a new horizon another place another time
(It's all right) the shadow's gone (shine your light) with the risin' sun (It's all right) take me as I am (yeah yeah yeah) cuz here I stand
In our hands a light shines we still wonder change our world into sand we will hunger like a child -fears the night- draws near its mother like a son -fears no one- will cast our shadow forever 'cause here I stand
In the middle of the night you know I heard the voices call said they'd try to ease me through my pain then I started to question am I sane or confused don't think that I will ever know
It's hard to believe that the sun still sets without you I was so afraid to let you know It's hard to believe that the world still turns without you I was so afraid to let you go
I was starting to believe that I was destined for the worst It was all the life I'd ever know It was getting to the point that I'd thought I'd not return I was so unsure of where I'd go
It's hard to believe that the sun still sets without you I was so afraid to let you know It's hard to believe that the world still turns without you I was so afraid to let you go
In the middle of the night sometimes I hear the voices call don't think that I will ever know
It's hard to believe that the sun still sets without you I was so afraid to let you know It's hard to believe that the world still turns without you I was so afraid to let you go
Take me along to a place I remember where all of my friends - now they're gone forever how they love the sweet life
I'm destined to run with the Holy I must wait dying inside ever slowly I'll be on my way
I saw the flame of the candle burning down so low I danced with my friends 'til they had to go my spirit stayed -give me no relief my spirit stayed -gave me no release how they loved the sweet life
I'm destined to run with the Holy I must wait dying inside ever slowly I'll be on my way
Sitting alone in a darkened room trail of smoke and warn out mind mister depression overstayed his welcome something inside took me away
Take me along to a place I remember all of my friends -thought I knew them better how they loved the sweet life
Darlin' -don't let me go until the last train rides I wanna stay with you when the morning comes and it's time to rise but I can't lift my head - baby let me die release the sorrow - deep within my eyes life's only borrowed
Don't build your world with bitter regret 'cuz I still feel it's not over yet what we've done we'll have to forget or all you'll reap is bitter regret
Wonderin' -how this came to pass why my future runs through the hourglass talk to me - 'cuz I can't lift my head anti-social suicide lyin' on my bed release the sorrow - deep within my eyes life's only borrowed
'cuz I still feel it's not over yet what we've done you'll have to forget or all we'll reap is bitter regret
[Talkin' to my friend misfortune take me for a ride how I wish that I could only give you back your life again]
Darlin' - I wanna stay with you 'til the morning comes and that last train rides
I was lost without you I was sinking in a storm I thought the world had left me now I know that I was wrong It's Resurrection Day gonna leave it all behind gonna clear my mind of you gonna pave my own road
I don't mind -what you want I don't mind when your hounds begin to beg I don't mind when you kick the ones that fall I don't mind - I don't mind at all
It's better to be lonely than to live with all your pain I was walking through the desert I was calling out your name but I never got an answer still I loved you just the same the sun began to burn me reminded me of all those days
I don't mind -what you want I don't mind when your hounds begin to beg I don't mind when you kick the ones that fall I don't mind - I don't mind at all
When you leave me for another I won't be calling out your name now that burning sun is setting only one thing left to say
I don't mind -what you want I don't mind when your hounds begin to beg I don't mind when you kick the ones that fall I don't mind - I don't mind
Overtake me -- seize the vision through my eyes and reinstate me -- bathe me in your sunlight until I know -- until I know
constant motion -- kept me standing still howling silence -- penetrate and break my will
so re-embrace me -- the release me one more time until I know -- until I know so re-embrace me -- the release me one more time until I know -- until I know
Patiently I'm waiting (seemed so long) to take another fall (out of the dark) am I anticipating (something is wrong) certain final call (one last for the part) the hands of time keep turning (bring me to life) the world begins to turn
*How many lives are remaining how many souls is he saving how many lives are remaining how many souls is he saving
All of us keep trying (hope for the best) to place a higher bid (into the night) on your knees and praying (laying to rest) let's not and say we did (image shining bright) what's the point you're making (show me it's right) the point of no return
*Repeat
Someone told me forgiveness comes from you so I wasted one there was nothing to lose now I see that faith is for the few
Absolution came standing in the queue you know I lost my faith standing next to you
It's been a long time since I felt this way you know I haven't lost my mind I'm just tired I see the souls on the street they're all crying I'm not trying to be 'cuz I'm no better than the dying no I'm not trying to be the one
And when I leave this place that other realm I'll find strawberry streams we'll drink from white frosted clouds we'll sail on and when I leave this place that other realm I'll find sun dripping rainbow colors I'm sailing to
You know I never thought I'd see the loneliness of dying you know I thought I'd be the one that wasn't fighting how I wish that I could leave and find a place that's quiet 'cuz I truly do believe that someday I will find deep waters we sail on
No wonder I falter how does life release this fear se we can set out on that journey we call life
When my friend comes to call will I recognize all the things that have been told will it fill my eyes when the sun releases me and the night begins to cradle all the visions I have seen guide me into deep waters
And when I leave this place that other realm I'll find strawberry streams we'll drink from white frosted clouds we'll sail on and when I leave this place soft heathered fields we'll stroll on sun dripping rainbow colors I'm sailing to
Deep waters I can't seem to find you - no I can't seem to find you - no I can't seem to find you
Angel wore a green bar for a living Sleeping in the sand every-night Cindy's holding protests But it ain'tno use to blame Both sides feel the pain tonight Hold yourself real tight Deny... Votes down, now fight!
The ground bleeds fire, hope they're watching my back Eyes burning and my muscles eat glass Kiss my frag, hope it sets me free As I pray to the sky
Breakdown the door with a one legged huh! Graduate, now you've worn your gun in Now you're one... Best be prayin' to the sky
You're dancing out your head, a free fall....
You see your angel flying Your heart is dying You never saw it coming Might be right up ahead
Chasing a shadow that's moving through ash You hold her in your minds as your way to get back home And she prays to the sky
While the frozen shock lights the back of your face Only seen the sun for a hundred and two days Hits you right between the eyes
You're dancing ougt your head, a free fall...
You see your angel flying Your heart is dying Will you see it coming? Might be right up ahead
Now many ways can you hold on If you know I believe in you?
The ground bleeds fire and your eyes burn green But you gotta believe that we're all born free Not just left to do or die
You're dancing ougt your head, a free fall...
You see your angel flying Your heart is dying Will you see it coming? Might be right up ahead
I am the son who believed in the call Standing beside you I witness it all Walk hand in hand through cities of clay Far from the ocean so far from the ocean You wonder why Don't you know someone you'd die for? Put on my blue suede shoes all for you... I'm not a trophy you hang on your wall Levy illusion rob Peter pay Paul I brave the distance I take the fall Of extreme words unspoken with deeper devotion Free to decide Salute the lives laid down before me Put on my blue suede shoes ah... Red, white and blue suede shoes all for you... One look around Won't you see someone you live for? Put on my blue suede shoes ah... Red, white and blue suede shoes all for you...
> Dear Jane Am I going down in flames While you're playin' me like a game And I'm this far from home? Good Luck Turned up your pretty face Sent my heart into outer space Am I out here alone? I might be off But it feels like its all gone wrong You're not alone And when I call You're not at home But you know that I'm still wishing I'll be out back digging for a four leaf clover You say Everything here's ok Don't worry while you're away Ill be your reason why They say I'm just a paranoid Pushing Prozac and quoting Freud But there's no cure for goodbye There's a word On the top of my head now it's gone Or was it love? Cause when I call You're not at home But you know that I'm still wishing I'll be out back digging for a four leaf clover Tell me I'm wrong I'm hanging on But you're not at home Don't you know that I'm still wishing? I'll be out back digging for a four leaf clover Dear Jane Can you hear what I have to say? Are you leaving or will you stay Or lying to keep me alive? Is your Jody sneaking in your back door? Is your Jody sneaking out your back door?
Charlie Foxtrot This one's a long shot My one way out is melting in my hands Nearly the bitter end Out in one piece again
March through this dream With my M16
Mind's busting seams Grip my M16
Thoughts are reeling People screaming No chance I'll ever be the same again Blindfold the freaks in my head All they can see is red
March through this dream With my M16 Mind's busting seams Grip my M16 Human machine Spreading democracy with my M16
Charlie Foxtrot This one's a long shot My one way out is melting in my hands Nearly the bitter end Out in one piece again
March through this dream With my M16 Mind's busting seams Grip my M16 American dream Flowing through my magazine Like blood of human machine To spread democracy You see we come in peace
You stopped believing Left your will behind It's getting late Good luck is hard to find Might take a supernova To blast your way out of the grind
The voice in your head is screaming... what you already know
This is it Your great escape Are you in or out? Live on your vision It's all you got When it's said and done You owe no-one What ya waiting for?
You've heard it all before From A to Z Everyone telling you What you should be Might take a hurricane To blow your mind and set you free
Don't need to look far to see it... what you already know
Here it is Your Great Escape Are you in or out? Live on your vision It's all you got When it's said and done You owe no-one When your numbers up You got to take your one best shot
