1. _ White Room
I can see her at her windows watching
Locked away inside her skin
I can see her but i can't get to her
She won't come out, and she won't let me into
The white room (she's living in)
Lying alone 'til she comes undone
In the white room
She burns for the real thing
But it won't come
In her head is the same obsession
And all the bottles and pills won't heal her heart
She heard his last confession
Every word just tears her apart
In the white room (locked away)
Doing time 'til her time is done
In the white room there's so much to say
But the words won't come
Come back to the land of the living
When you gonna break that chain
There's much too much that you're leaving
And you're never gonna stop the rain
In the white room
Waiting for the call that never comes
In the white room, she waits
Look at something long enough you'll find
That the splinters and the cracks begin to show
I'll be the first in line when the walls start falling
And she lets go of
The white room (it's late)
Living alone only makes you numb
In the white room
She burns for the real thing but it won't come
Come back to the land of the living
When you gonna break that chain
There's much too much that you're leaving
And you're never gonna stop the rain
In the white room (she's living in)
Doing time 'til her time is done
In the white room she burns
In the white room (it's late)
Lying alone till she comes undone
In the white room she waits
In the white room...

2. _ Religion Of The Heart
His hair was bible black, face like a priest
His fingers clutched the precious box and silent as a dream
He hid behind the dark sunglasses
You caught your breath
You thought he was beautiful
You didn't hear his silent scream
As he spread the dead man's ashes
Your always trying to find your worth
In the eyes of someone new
You may not think you need this baby but i think you do
You need religion of the heart, religion of the heart
(deep in your system)
You're just searching in the dark
For a reason to believe
You need religion of the heart
You raise your glass, you drink their wine
But you're still thirsty all the time
No miracles tonight, and you'll skip the midnight masses
It'll be okay in the cool clear, bright light of the day
But you just seem so scattered
As though nothing mattered baby
You're always trying to heal yourself in someone else's skin
Turn the thieves out of the temple baby and let it in
You need religion of the heart, religion of the heart
(deep in your system)
You're just searching in the dark
For a reason to believe
You need religion of the heart
Oh, you think that i am only joking, and it all comes down to nothing
And i'm just talking to your fear but i 'm not
No, i'm not, and you stand in the field of fire
You need religion of the heart, religion of the heart
(deep in your system)
You're just searching in the dark
For a reason to believe
You need religion of the heart
Religion of the heart

3. _ Free
So this is the cage that i built
Why i built it i don't know
It's bars made of anger and guilt, no lock
But somehow it just wouldn't let me go
All hail the messenger of love
I got your message loud and clear
Now i'm hungry to be healed
And you can't, you can't keep me away
I'm free
When we are one, i am complete
I'm free
And i'm undone and i will be healed in your eyes
I had to close a door in my life for another one to open
So i, i could go through, though i had no guiding light
And no signs somehow it still lead me to you
I learned a lesson here in love
And it's ringing loud and clear
Now i'm ready to reveal all the things
That before i could never say
I'm free
When we are one, i am complete
I'm free
And i'm undone and i will be healed in your eyes
All hail the messenger of love
I got your message loud and clear
Now i'm hungry to be healed
And you can't, you can't keep me away
When we are one, i am complete,
And i'm undone, and i will be healed in your eyes
When we are one, i am complete,
And i'm undone, and i will be healed in your eyes...
I'm free...

4. _ Prayer
In my perfect world
There's no need to right the wronged
Laid down my burden
I know i did not carry the weight
Not sure to who responsibility belonged
I turned a blind eye
While waiting for the hand of fate to still the waters
Heal all the broken hearts
And hope it could be done without a sacrifice
And maybe i just wouldn't pay the price
I've fought this long enough
Now i send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man i see
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain't a saint but to this i swear i send the prayer
And now i feel all i can do is not enough
My rome is burning and i'm standing at the deep abyss
But every passion started with an act of love
And every act of love, started with a single kiss
Father, father your gift was my world of light
And i've betrayed you with a single judas kiss
I've been my own executioner
But it's not just me anymore
Now i send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man i see
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain't a saint but to this i swear
Burn my wasted pride
Open your heart to this
There's a voice that's crying somewhere
Deep inside my soul for shelter
Now i send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man i see
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain't a saint but to this i swear
Now i send the prayer to heaven for the chance to be
A better man than the man i see
I send the prayer to heaven, lay your hands on me
I ain't a saint but to this i swear i send the prayer...
Now i send a prayer to heaven...

5. _ Karma
I drop a stone into the ocean
Every choice another turn of the screw
Another wheel set in motion
With every single thing i do
It's there in the air that i breathe
It's in my whisper and scream
Inside everything i believe
And it's all gonna come around someday
As the smallest stream runs to a river
And every river runs to the sea
So every little bit of love i give to another
You know that i believe it comes back to me
There is no absolution whether i'm the garden or the rose
If i ain't part of the solution, yeah you know how that goes
You can always leave but you bring it all back home someday
As the smallest stream runs to a river
And every river runs to the sea
So every little bit of love i give to another
You know that i believe it comes back to me
Every single thing i say, everyone that i betray
Any love that i take when i do not make it in return
Every thing i do and every time i've been unfaithful too
All the things that i believe are lessons i must learn
As the smallest stream runs to a river
And every river runs to the sea
So every little bit of love i give to another
You know that i believe it comes back to me
As the smallest stream runs to a river
And every river runs to the sea
So every little bit of love i give to another
You know that i believe it comes back to me

6. _ Ordinary Girl
I see her there in her plain print dress and her fading youth
Something about her opens up my soul
Something about her speaks the truth
When the sky is falling
She makes the world go away baby and i tell the truth
There's a plainness and a sameness to her touch
Oh yeah and it's beautiful
I love an ordinary girl
Oh she's just an ordinary girl
I say i love you i know it's just an ordinary sound
We make love in our ordinary house
Yeah it's built on common ground and we know it baby
We go out walking on an friday night in ordinary town
There's a sameness and a plainness to it all
Oh yeah and it's beautiful
I love an ordinary girl
Yeah she's just an ordinary girl
Another day, another battle
We shake the cage, our sabers rattle
Nothing that matters comes easy
Nothing that comes easy ever really matters
Oh (everything i am) she's an ordinary girl (anything i plan)
I love her (for everything that i stand)
She's an ordinary girl (i'm just an ordinary man)
Yeah she's (in everything i do) just an ordinary girl
(in everything that's true) i love her (in everything i plan)
Just an ordinary girl (i'm an ordinary man)...

7. _ His Last Words
My father was too weak to parry the blade
As death's scythe swept through the house one night
When we were busy doing other things
Dust filled his mouth and stopped his breath
And darkness took his soul in this familiar place
His body, wasted by the sickness
His spirit weary from the battle
He spoke to me, forever his son
Of all things save death:
I longed to face it with him
But seeing his fear
I feared to speak of it
And though we both saw death's dark irresistible form
In the far corner
We talked instead of evening shadows
On bedroom walls
And so it went
There were no proud and profound last words
No bright ringing final moment of clarity
He just died
We kissed his still warm face
And promised forever
The cold wind blew through the trees in my father's yard
And i looked for meaning

8. _ Beautiful Prize
The father giveth, and the father taketh away
Johanna prays in her bed
He drinks his beer to the tv chatter
Thinks dark thoughts in his head
When the house that he keeps with his hard won pay
Is finally asleep after his brutal day
He turns his eyes on his beautiful prize
Johanna watches her door open just a crack
And a hand that once held her runs down the length of her back
Her fallen angel lies down on her bed
So much confusion in her beautiful head
Johanna closes her eyes
In a house full of secrets the truth doesn't matter
Johanna buries her shame and dreams of redemption
They just scatter, she grows numb to the pain
She can't remember how it was before
And she doesn't know who she is anymore
She's in disguise as his beautiful prize
Johanna watches her life from the outside
And she dreams that one day she'll fly free from this mess
She's a hawk trying to soar with a broken wing
And she doesn't talk anymore about anything
She just closes her eyes
She just can't stand his anger, she just can't bear his heat
She takes a long hard look at life on the street, yeah
In a house full of secrets the truth doesn't matter
And any dreams of salvation, they just shatter
Johanna watches the world from the outside,
And she dreams of the day she'll fly free from this mess
She doesn't know what she's waiting for
Cause there's nothing left in this house anymore
And in his eyes she's just a beautiful prize
Oh, johanna just a beautiful prize...
Yeah, johanna...
Oh, hanna...

9. _ Itsalwayssomething
I look around me and i see what i wanted and what i settled for
Yeah, i've got the heart of a joan of arc but the soul of a gigolo
I've been good at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
Anytime i stopped to smell the roses they drew blood from me
Do you know what i mean
You never ever get away clean
Oh, but it's alright
Yeah, touchdown, turn around, flag on the play
It's always something
You know it is, it's always something
It's always something, everyday, it's always something
When i was a kid the teachers and the priests said,
"why you let him run around like that?"
My father said, "if the boy wants to play the guitar, i say we let him."
Through the hard years he was my rock
When i just could not win
So it goes y'know my father died
Just before my leaky ship came in
Do you know what i mean
You never ever get away clean
Oh, but it's alright yeah
Down one, homerun, your dog steals the ball
It's always something
You know it is, it's always something
It's always something, everyday, it's always something
It's always something...
I step up to the table in the middle of my life
And i take my cards and i check them twice
I've got a killer hand and i'm ready to stake my claim
The cops raid the game
It's always something
It's always something
It's always something, everyday, it's always something
It's always something
You know it is, it's always something
It's always something, everyday, it's always something

10. _ In Veronica's Head
He lifted her face from the pillow and said, "baby such is life"
And then he pushed his suitcase out through the door
And give'm something to talk about
The door slammed, left a scar
She'd be damned she could see him in his car
So much for marriage and the good, good wife
Well, maybe it's a fact of life
But in veronica's head the wheels were burning
Turning out of frustration
Veronica's bed mocked every private
Thing she said to the bastard
She dyed her hair black in the bathroom mirror
He'd liked it blonde on his wife
An act of independence, a small victory
Hey, it was something to shout about
Cause at night, she'd crack
She'd feel his strong fingers raking down her back
She'd wake up angry, but turned on like a light
Yeah maybe it's a fact of life
But in veronica's head the wheels were burning
Turning out of frustration
Veronica said, she would never be the same, no
But in veronica's head, the fields were burning
Burning down the destruction
She turns around, he's there
Confusing her with his promises
And crying on the telephone
She twists and she turns in circles
With all of her strength, she breaks free
She stumbles and she nearly falls
But in veronica's head the wheels were burning
Turning out of frustration
Veronica said she would never be the same, no
But in veronica's head the fields were burning
Burning down the destruction
Veronica's bed, she lies there listening
Late at night to her heartbeat, oooh
The wheels are turning
And in veronica's head the fields are burning
The wheels are turning
The fields are burning

11. _ Shock To My System
So there i stood, square on my side of the great divide
A message came across a void
And for the first time in my life
I'm awake, i'm alive
I thought i was immune to this
'til i felt the static charges in the air
I touch you, you're a live wire
You're the raw fire burning in my heart
And it took me by surprise, that's no lie
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system
A spark, a real shock
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system
You start i can't stop
You taught me how to listen, shock to my system
My soul, my skin, you plug me in
And all of my pain is gone just like it never was
For the first time in my life i know what i feel
Now every time we touch i'm caught off my guard
That's no lie
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system,
A spark, a real shock
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system
You start i can't stop
You taught me how to listen shock to my system
Shock to my system
Shock to my system
You know you are, you are a sharp, shock to my system
You start i can't stop...

12. _ Act Of Faith
I tell you honestly,
Don't you go and throw your heart away
I know it's so hard to do
You've got to let go when you want to hold on
I know how much you miss him celebrate what you had
Don't cry about the things left unsaid
It'll do no good
You look for mercy and a meaning somewhere
You know that the hurting won't go
'til you walk through the fire
It's gonna take an act of faith stand up and face the day
It's gonna take an act of faith, nobody can make you stay
It's gonna take an act of faith
Maybe love will find it's way back into your life
Here's my heart my love is in it
Here's my heart my love is in it
Stand up, don't you fall
You just take good care of where you are
You're thinking life's through with you
That's not what he'd want or what you should do
I know you loved him baby celebrate who he was
I know you know you've got to go on and live your life
Go down to the river of the spirit that runs through you
And lay yourself down in the healing waters
It's gonna take an act of faith stand up and face the day
It's gonna take an act of faith, nobody can make you stay
It's gonna take an act of faith
Maybe love will find it's way back into your life
Love is a healer
There is no purpose served in holding on
Love is a healer
There is no understanding why
Love is a healer
There is no sin in you that brought this to your door
My love, it just is
Here's my heart my love is in it
Here's my heart my love is in it
Here's my heart my love is in it
Here's my heart my love is in it
Here's my heart my love is in it
Here's my heart my love is in it
Here's my heart my love is in it
Here's my heart my love is in it
It's gonna take an act of faith stand up and face the day
It's gonna take an act of faith, nobody can make you stay
It's gonna take an act of faith
Maybe love will find it's way back into your life
It's gonna take an act of faith stand up and face the day
It's gonna take an act of faith, nobody can make you stay
It's gonna take an act of faith
Maybe love will find it's way back into your life...
