Life Wasted
You're always saying that there's
something wrong... I'm starting to believe it's your plan all
along...
Death came around, forced to hear its song... And know
tomorrow can't be depended on.
I seen the home inside your
head,... All locked doors and unmade beds. Open sores unattended Let me
say just once that
I have faced it,... A life wasted,... I'm never
going back again.
I escaped it,... A life wasted,... I'm never going
back again.
Having tasted,... A life wasted,... I'm never going back
again.
The world awaits just up the stairs Leave the pain for someone
else.
Nothing back there for you to find,... Or was it you, you left
behind?
You're always saying you're too weak to be strong... You're
harder on yourself than just about anyone.
Why swim the channel just to
get this far? Halfway there, why would you turn around?
Darkness comes
in waves,... tell me,why invite it to stay?
You're warm with negativity,
Yes, comfort is an energy,... But why let the sad song play?
I
have faced it,... A life wasted,... I'm never going back again.
I
escaped it,... A life wasted,... I'm never going back again.
Having
tasted,... A life wasted,... I'm never going back again.
Oh I erased
it,... A life wasted,... I'm never going back again.
World Wide Suicide
I felt the earth on Monday.
It moved beneath my feet. In the form of a morning paper. Laid out for me to
see.
Saw his face in a corner picture. I recognized the name. Could
not stop staring at the. Face I'd never see again.
It's a shame to awake
in a world of pain What does it mean when a war has taken over
It's
the same everyday in a hell manmade What can be saved, and who will be left
to hold her?
The whole world...World over. It's a worldwide suicide.
Medals on a wooden mantle. Next to a handsome face. That the
president took for granted. Writing checks that others pay.
And in
all the madness. Thought becomes numb and naive. So much to talk about.
Nothing for to say.
It's the same everyday and the wave won't break
Tell you to pray, while the devils on their shoulder
Laying claim to
the take that our soldiers save Does not equate, and the truth's already out
there
The whole world,... World over. It's a worldwide suicide.
The whole world,... World over. It's a worldwide suicide.
Looking in the eyes of the fallen You got to know there's another,
another, another, another Another way
It's a shame to awake in a
world of pain What does it mean when a war has taken over
It's the
same everyday and the wave won't break Tell you to pray, while the devils on
their shoulder
The whole world,... World over. It's a worldwide
suicide.
The whole world,... World over. It's a worldwide
suicide.
Comatose
Consider me an object. Put me in a
vacuum. Free of all conditions. Free of air and friction.
Yeh, I'll be
hanging upside down. And there I will swing, for all eternity.
Feel it
rising,... Yeh next stop falling Feel it rising,... comatose, with no fear of
falling.
Consider me an abcess. Leave me in a vacuum. Blood on all the
pistons. Running my transmission.
Feel it rising,... Yeh next stop
falling Feel it rising,... comatose, with no fear of falling.
High
above,...I'll break the law,...if it's illegal to be in love,... leave the
hatred,.. on the cross.
Yeh, I'll be hanging upside down, and there I
will swing. For all eternity.
Feel it rising,... Yeh next stop
falling Feel it rising,... comatose, with no fear of falling.
Feel it
rising,... Yeh next stop falling Feel it rising.
Something never
thought you'd be a part of.
Severed Hand
Big man standing behind an open
door Said, "leave your lady on the cement floor."
"Got some kicks,
wanna take ride?" I said, "Yeh,..." "Take your pick, leave yourself
behind." I said "Yeh,..."
I've no fear but for falling down so look
out below, I am falling now Oh please understand, I just need my friend a
way home.
Tried to walk, found a severed hand, recognized it by the
wedding band.
"It's okay, do you want some more?" I said,
"Yeh,..." "You'll see dragons after 3 or 4..." I said,
"Yeh,..."
"Understand, I'm not falling down" I said, "Look around, the
room's taller now,..." I can't close my eyes, cause I see the sound in
waves.
In waves, lets me stay calm.
If I don't lose
control explore and not explode a preternatural other plane with the
power to maintain.
Like a tear in all we know once dissolved, we are
free to grow "What is human?,... What is more?" I'll answer this when I
get home.
Marker In The Sand
There is a marker,... no one
sees it 'cause the sand Has covered over,... all the messages it
kept Misunderstanding,... what original truth was And out expanding,... in
a faith but not in love
What went wrong?
Walking tightrope
high,... over moral ground Seeing visions of,........ falling up
somehow Do come down
With the living, let,... what is living
love So unforgiving, yet,...... needing forgiveness first
God, what do
you say?
Those undecided,.... Needn't have faith to be free And those
misguided, there was a plan for them to be Now you got both sides claiming
killing in Gods name But God is nowhere,.. to be found
conveniently
What goes on?
Walking tightrope high,... over moral
ground Walk the bridges,......... before you burn them down Do come
round
With the living, let,... what is living love So unforgiving,
yet,...... needing forgiveness first
God, what do you say? What do you
say?
There is a sickness,... a sickness coming over me Like watching
freedom,. Being sucked straight out to sea An the solution?...... Well, from
me far would it be But the delusion,..... Is feeling dangerous to
me
What goes wrong?
Walking tightrope high,... over moral
ground Seeing visions of,........ falling up somehow Do come
down
With the living, let,... what is living love So unforgiving,
yet,...... needing forgiveness first
What do you say,.......... God, what
do you say?
Calling out,....... Calling out. Calling out,....... I'm
calling you out.
Parachutes
Why deny All the troubles when
combined with the missing links It don't feel like Home
now,...
The you're gone All the troubles Suddenly explained
infinitum You're always wishing and Never here at home.
You All
the dreams we shared and Lights we turned on But the house is getting
dark
Ans I don't want to know your past But together share the
dawn And I won't need
Nothing else Cause when we're dead We
would've had it all
And died I would've fallen from the sky Till
you Parachutes have opened now
Heaven knows if there's a
ceiling Come so low with the kneeling Please know that I got
All
the feelings I'm needing Before my light goes out As the doors are closing
now
And far away will be my home And to grasp this, I don't
know And I don't need
Further back and forth, A wave will break on me
today And love,... wish the world could go again with love One can't seem
to have enough And war,... break the sky and tell me what it's for I'll
travel there on my own And love,... what a different life Had I not found
this love with you
Unemployable
He's got a big gold ring what says
"Jesus Saves" And it's dented from the punch thrown at work that day When
he smashed the metal locker where he kept his things After the big boss said,
"You best be on your way"
Oh yeh So this life is sacrifice
Oh
yeh Jumping trains just to survive
Well, his wife and kid are sleeping
but he's still awake On his brain weighs the curse of thirty bills
unpaid Gets up, lights a cigarette he's grown to hate Thinking if he can't
sleep, how will he ever dream?
Yeh, So this life is
sacrificed
Oh yeh To a strangers bottom line
Yeh I seen the
light,... Uh-oh oh oh, Uh-oh oh oh I's scared alive,...
Near to
death,... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh I seen the light,... scared
alive
Yeh, So this life is sacrificed
Oh yeh They can't say
I never tried
Yeh I seen the light,... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh I's
scared alive,...
Near to death,... Uh-oh oh oh, Uh-oh oh oh I seen the
light.
Scared alive,...... Uh-oh oh oh, uh-oh oh oh Near to
death
Here to die. Scared alive.
Near to death. Hear to
die. Scared alive.
Big Wave
I used to be crustacean In an
underwater nation And I surf in celebration Of a billion
adaptations
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big
wave. Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.
I feel
the need Planted in me Millions of years ago Can't you see The
oceans size? Defining time And time Arising Arms laid upon
me Being so kind To let me ride
I scream in affirmation Of
connecting dislocations And exceeding limitations By achieving
levitation
Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big
wave. Got me a big wave, ride me a big wave, got me a big wave.
I feel
the need Planted in me Millions of years ago Can't you see The
oceans size? Defining time And time Arising Arms laid upon
me Being so kind To let me ride
Got me a ride. I got me a
ride.
Gone
No more upset mornings No more trying
evenings This American dream I am disbelieving
When the gas in my
tank Feels like money in the bank Gonna blow it all this time Take me
one last ride
For the lights of this city They only look good when I'm
speeding Gonna leave 'em all behind me Cause this time
I'm
gone
Long gone This time I'm letting go of it all So long Cause
this time I'm gone
In the far off distance As my tail-lights
fade No one thinks to witness But they will someday
Feel like a
question is forming And the answeres far I I'll be what I could be Once
I get of of this town
For the lights of this city They have lost all
feeling Gonna leave 'em all behind me Cause this time
I'm
gone
Long gone This time I'm letting go of it all So long Long
gone, I'm letting go of it all Cause this time I'm gone
If nothing is
everything If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
If nothing is
everything If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
I am
gone
Wasted Reprise
I have faced it, a life
wasted I'm never going back again.
Having tasted, a life wasted I'm
never going back again.
I escaped it, a life wasted I'm never going
back again.
Army Reserve
How long must she stand Before
the ground gives way To an endless fall She can feel this War on her
face Stars on her pillow Folding in the darkness Begging for
slumber
I'm not blind I can see it coming Looks like
lightning In my child's eye
I'm not frantic I can feel it
coming Violently shakes My body
Her son's slanted Always giving
her The sideways eye An empty chair where Dad sits How loud can silence
get? And Mom, she reassures To contain him But it's becoming a
lie
She tells herself And everyone else Father is risking His
life for our freedoms
I'm not blind I can see it coming Looks like
lightning In my childs eye
I'm not frantic I can feel it
coming Darling you'll save me If you save yourself
Come Back
If I keep holding out,... will the
light shine through? Under this broken roof,... it's only rain that I
feel I've been wishing out the days,... come back
I have been planning
out,... all that I'd say to you Since you slipped away,... know that I still
remain true I've been wishing out the days,...
Please say, that if you
hadn't of gone now I wouldn't have lost you another way From wherever you
are,... come back
And these days, they linger on And in the night, as
I'm waiting on The real possibility I may meet you in my dream I go to
sleep
If I don't fall apart,.... will the memories stay clear? So you
had to go,..... and I had to remain here
But the strangest thing to
date So far away And yet you feel so close And I'm not gonna question
it any other way
There must be an open door For you to Come
back
And the days, they linger on And every night, what I'm waiting
for Is the real possibility I may meet you in my dream
And sometimes
you're there And you're talking back to me Come the morning I could swear
you're next to me
And it's okay.
It's okay. It's
okay.
I'll be here Come back Come back
I'll be here Come
back Come back
I'll be here Come back Come back
Inside Job
Underneath this smile Lies
everything All my hopes, anger, pride and shame
Make myself a pact,
not to shut doors on the past Just for today,... I am free
I will not
lose my faith It's an inside job today
I know this one thing
well,...
I used to try and kill love, it was the highest sin Breathing
insecurity out and in
Searching hope, I'm shown the way to run
straight Pursuing the greater way for all,.. human light.
How I choose
to feel,... is how I am. How I choose to feel,... is how I am.
I will
not lose my faith It's an inside job today
Holding on, the light of
the night On my knees to rise and fix my broken soul
Again.
Let
me run into the rain To be a human light again
Let me run into the
rain To shine a human light today
Life comes from within your heart
and desire Life comes from within my heart and desire Life comes from
within you heart and desire
