It's 2:00 your time, midnight mine
And I could die to have you here Call you up, I'm far away Wake you up, but it's ok You don't mind I'm not scared to say it now It's not fair, and yet somehow We're doing fine It's 2:00 your time, midnight mine And I could die to have you here Watch the changing leaves again But I don't remember when We saw them fall When the snowflake covers blue I will come back home to you And watch them all It's 2:00 your time, midnight mine And I could die to have you here Every time you're on my mind It just seems to unwind |

Remember when, remember you and me
In fields of blue and white And I would never take it back The standoffs and the makeups On the bench, our scene for hours and hours And I would never take it back And I would never take it back For all the gold in the world On and on and on She leads me on and on, forever Time will run back On and on and on She leads me on and on, forever And time will run back And fetch the age of gold All that I have to take your hand in mine And lose all sense of time And I would never take it back So close your eyes, I'll kiss you And I'll hold you tightly until dawn And I would never take it back And I would never take it back For all the gold in the world On and on and on She leads me on and on, forever Time will run back On and on and on She leads me on and on, forever And time will run back And fetch the age of gold Remember when Remember you and me in time |

Fire burns in the grate
The guilt burns in the breast of every prisoner The guilty, the condemned Death is red on their hands The galling chains reminding every minute The law that was broken Silent as the grave Covering deeds, covering man Eyes that pierce and blaze Wounded hands stretching out to save Moonlit nights on their knees Stifling screams ready to break from conscience The voice of the innocent So the time marches on The future melts into the past At last, the bitter reprieve Silent as the grave Covering deeds, covering man Eyes that pierce and blaze Wounded hands stretching out to save |

Waiting for a sign that never came
Waiting, pinching nerves to stay sane Can't erase the time, forget the past Knowing good times come and go so fast Denise it's not all set back in time Denise just lay it down and you'll find You've changed Nowhere girl, a cage you've come to know Still wondering, "Where did they all go?" Plan a recluse life down to the day While you have chains to lose And a whole world to gain Denise, Denise it's time Time to seize the world Denise it's time Denise it's not all set down in stone Denise just lay it down and you're home You've changed |

No,no,no!Don't stop rocking!
You know that kind of girl That makes your heart beat all fast? You know that kind of love That you know will last? I knew that kind of girl I knew that kind of love But then she broke it off When I was so sure of her Don't trust that girl She's up to no good She'll mess with you like no one should Don't trust that girl She's up to no good She'll mess with you like no one should Empty promises thrown into the wind Mirage vanishes, never to see again Hey fellas, be aware Don't want to end up like me Another victim of her stupid female schemes Don't trust that girl She's up to no good She'll mess with you like no one should Don't trust that girl She's up to no good She'll mess with you like no one should So now the time moves on With feelings come and gone And Christ is the one constant I can lean on So now I am left here Feeling like a schmuck With one thought on my mind: Girls suck! Don't trust that girl She's up to no good She'll mess with you like no one should Don't trust that girl She's up to no good She'll mess with you like no one should Women, can't live with them, can't cheat on them! |

Estella steps in silence
Her every movement caught Encased in gilded memory Here it comes again Anticipation racing through me Thrilling with emotion You still me Estella, Estella you You're missing all you see I'm missing you Estella, Estella you dream You're missing all you see I'm missing you Estella moves in shadows Her every whisper caught Exhale and draw it in again When everything gets lost in the twilight I'll be waiting You keep me guessing You enigma, you dream Estella, Estella you You're missing all you see I'm missing you Estella, Estella you dream You're missing all you see I'm missing you my sweet Wide-eyed, weak-kneed Stare me through my soul, you pierce me I know we need Nothing short of holding nothing back Come down to me And I'll show you you mean worlds to me You do Fare thee well, my love The last time in a whisper She whispered back Fare thee well, my love I love you madly, deeply always |

So now a hush falls on my heart,
My mind at ease, apologies as I start. Overcome, love holds me near, Pitiful boy, oh I am awed, try to be so sincere. I come into Your presence falling on my knees Beautiful God, Your face I seek All I can give you is me, My eyes are dim, and yet within I still see. Everything disappears, You are there, My heart wells up, why do You love? Oh Lord, why do You care? In the stillness, the quiet, In the peace, You are there. The idols gone, my mind is free, Your love for me, my sins You chose to bear. You are there, my fortress, my comfort. You are there, my Friend, my God. You are here, my fortress, my comfort. You are here, my Friend, my God. |

Brought to my knees Child I'll play for You Child enters in this world, it's broken Angels sing and men sleep the night Though it's brazen and defiant Please be born in my heart Heaven tomorrow Heaven, skies open, pour out hope See all my glimmering weakness Here's my world, come on will You come in? Brought to my knees Child I'll play for You |

"Day after day after day you live in your misconceptions
Cause our actions don't speak as loud as our words it hurts, my friend Can I help you understand? Can I please help you understand? It's not bred out of fear, it's sprung out of love It's what we've been in search of Now spring clear of all the lies And sever all the ties with tangled webs of futile thinking Now spring clear of all half-truths Cuz the burden of proof doesn't rest on an institution Yeah I can see all the hurt and the misery resulting From the fact that Christians are the biggest sinners of them all But please don't fall Don't let all who come in Christ's name fool you Don't you dare, oh don't you dare It's not bred out of pride, a trophy on the shelf I can't save you, I can't even save myself If while we've been on our knees our eyes have been closed To all the pain and suffering I cry out"God forgive us!" |

Epicurean theme to a never-ending sequence
Burns me out, dries me up Up and out and through My plans disappoint, drain my cup Blind man sat in his room and he cried "Tomorrow promised me triviality" Bite the bait, swallow the hook Hooked in routine instead of living Wonder what's become of me What's become of me? What's become of me anyway? I've been uncaring, unconcerned Except at what comes dangerously close to Overturning my house of cards Falls fast and furious Scattering shapes of well-worn self-conceit Blind man shook his fist and he cried "Surely those were my rights" As if it were as bad as that To be condemned to doing as thou wilt Wilt and fade away The kernel must first So here I wait for You I wait for You I wait for You all the while My way sucks and I don't know what to do My way sucks and I don't know My way sucks and so I'm giving it all to You My way sucks and so I give |

At daybreak I wait for You
Crush softly, come With the brilliance and weight of Jupiter You weaken me as with wounds It's always enough to sound the deeps, Numinous By falling under It's always enough to run Your way, Numinous And I will follow At sundown I wait for You Speak softly, come Dying now with the way That Your voice and music are the same to me It's always enough to sound the deeps, Numinous By falling under It's always enough to run Your way, Numinous And I will follow One day's enough to know all fullness I'll run Your way, You will enlarge my heart Though You slay me I will hope in You through all Forgive the best of what we do and are Just God, forgive It's always enough to sound the deeps, Numinous By falling under It's always enough to run Your way, Numinous And I will follow |

Fourteen hours a day, fourteen days in two weeks
A fortnight out to sea, I'm far from home, alright by me Off the coast of Japan, then the Ivory Keys I put my back into my distancing the distant seas I'll sail away, I'll sail away forever and forever Hoist the jig, skip the rope, do whatever you do To get me into the blue Alright by me Hey mamasita, ain't it great? Ain't it wonderful? Hey mamasita, ain't it great When you're worlds away? Getting further away, putting distance between Myself and all the shelves of smarmy, charmy human creeps Interruptions are gone, lost in a reverie Nothing but wind, waves, and inspiration for my peeps I'll sail away, I'll sail away forever and forever Hoist the jig, skip the rope, do whatever you do To get me into the blue Alright by me Hey mamasita, ain't it great? Ain't it wonderful? Hey mamasita, ain't it great When you're worlds away? Now I am guided by the stars And by the red sun I go where I want For good or ill Please winds blow whither you will |

So this is who I become
When You leave me to myself A burned-up, hollow, angry, empty shell An actor on a barren stage An even-keel with unchanneled rage Sinking deeper into hell Bind me to You Pierce me straight through Consume me with Your fire Ravage my heart Tear me clean apart And still be my Desire As I descend it starts again Sliding down, spiraling Gasping on the breath of corruption Fighting undertow Holding on, realizing My own hopeless helplessness Finally letting go All is madness as the flames engulf me Oblivion Refining fire making ashes of this life Burn, Fire, burn Clean this holy temple Resore Your holy Name In the onslaught of Your love And now, as gradual as the fall The dawn of hope The brilliant sun sending all the shadows fleeing Sweet daylight A new man rising from the ashes Clothed in white, bearing a new name I leave it all behind and take to flight |

These four walls and fate nights brooding
Never changing, never moving It seems, it seems. Momentum's at a crawl. The ants are in the kitchen The mice are in the walls This noise in my head Could make this building fall I've got to get out of here And I gotta get oout now before I crack Mac & Cheese and Minute Rice And instant pleasure's always nice It seems, it seems Real things take much to long And I say now's the time to take a stand And sit back down hasty young man Did you really think the world And all it's offered Could have done you so much wrong? SE 101 forever SE 101 till I die |

starry starry night
the silver beams the only light summer breeze, summer dreams float over me the stars frame her sillouhette beauty steals away my breath this moment will last forever, forever forever there is no time but now there's no where else but here... time has lost it's grip tonight beautiful, enchanted, i just might hold her, hold her close never let her go the tenderness in her eyes her hair is drenched with silver moonlight half-spoken thoughts, forget-me-nots she's the jewel i've sought she's the jewel i've sought... there is no time but now there's no where else but here when all else is cold the warmth of holding her near... tonight the stars in her eyes outshine the stars in the sky tonight love is in her eyes i'll hold, hold her close tonight... tonight... |

I remember a different time
I remember a different me When there was springtime in my heart But it's winter And I'm shivering with cynicism now And I long for yesterday Yesterday, a day of joy A day of limitless possibilities I remember a different boy With love surrounding, joy abounding Peace resounding Where, oh where did that boy go? What's wrong with me now, God? My world is gray So please help me out, I pray Cuz I want to live in yesterday Take me back to a time of naivete Never-ending days And no need to question things Cuz I'm tired of staring out my window Wishing I was someone I should be I guess I remember a different me What's wrong with me now, God? My world is gray So please help me out, I pray Cuz I want to live in yesterday |

Cold as the sun on a winter's morning
Your resolve still lies shivering A heap of ill-sighted plans So you think, so it shall be Dwelling on all that's happened now Since that day you were lucid And saw things all too clear It was easy, now it's grown dark Even though the wood surrounds you It doesn't mean your heart should fail you now When the end is just within your reach Pushing you up against the wall You feel there's no one to cushion you from the fall You stumble, spending all your strength in vain Holding onto the cherished notion Things were different back then You lapse into the old you With all you see before your eyes Even though the wood surrounds you It doesn't mean your heart should fail you now When the end is just within your reach Take it easy, chill chill chill You've got a penchant for pulling through these things It's alright, it's ok Even though the wood surrounds you It doesn't mean your heart should fail you now When the end is just within your reach |
