unknown

When will you touch the sky. will you stop to wonder why. excitement is your pain. while i am helpless once again. take it out on me. if it makes you feel. that once again you're free. don't try
Ang me on. this rope of greed. this rope i feed you. 'cos if i'm hanging on. you won't be there to watch me bleed over you. your eyes reveal your tale. when silence scares your words away. you only turn to me. when it becomes too hard to see. take it out on me. if it makes you feel. that once again you're free. don't try to hang me on. this rope of greed. this rope i feed you. 'cos if i'm hanging on. you won't be there to watch me bleed over you.

I can't take no more
I'm so tired of running in somebody else's shoes
What's it all been for
What's the use of paying for somebody else's dues

I've been on the road for someone else's dreams
Now i'm trying to find my way back again
It's time to break some rules
And stop before the fire in me cools

Chorus:
I got my way
Of getting through to you
And i'm going back where no one's been before
Some day
I'll show you something new
I've got my way
To try and wipe the tears from my eyes

I'm half scared to death
Think i'm right but what if i'm wrong
I've got one shot left
The door is open now but not long
The room's full of faces that i've never seen
Like a million pair of eyes looking down
The smoke is blinding me
But i can still see my destiny

Chorus:
I got my way
Of getting through to you
And i'm going back where no one's been before
Some day
I'll show you something new
I've got my way
Of trying to wipe the tears from my eyes

(repeat chorus and fade)

You got my pride
Hanging outta my bed
You messin' with my life
So i bought my lead
Even messin' with my children
And you're screaming at my wife baby
Get off my back
If ya wanna get outta here alive

Freedom ¡º that's what i want now
Freedom ¡º that's what i need now
Freedom ¡º to live
Freedom ¡º so i can give

You got my heart
Speak electric water
You got my soul
Screamin' and hollerin'
You know you hooked my girlfriend
You know the drugstore man
Well i don't know her now
I'm tryin' to slam it out of her hand

Freedom ¡º so i can live
Freedom ¡º so i can give
Freedom ¡º yeah!
Freedom ¡º that's what i need

You don't have to say that you love me
If you don't mean it you better believe
If you need me or you just wanna bleed me
Better stick in you dagger in someone else

When i became of age
My momma sat me down
She said, son you've grown up
It's time to look around
So i began to notice some things i
Hadn't seen before
That's what brought me hope
Knockin' on your back door

A closet queen, the worst i've seen
She wants to shake my hand
I don't want to be there
When she decides she can
It's apple dan, he's just the man
To pick fruit off your branches
I can't sleep if he can't keep
His cattle off my ranches

It's too strong, something's wrong
And i guess i lost the feeling
I don't mind the games you play
But i don't like you dealing
The cards look bad, my luck's been had
And there's nothin' left to smoke
Will all be back tomorrow
For the punch line of the joke

No place left to hide
Fire and smoke on all sides
And you can't tell the sky
From the skeletons, anymore
But there's no time to wait to be saved
The wasteland will spread like the plague
And you'll wind up in somebody's cage
Without a door
Could've been me or you
But if the foot fits the shoe
It just might be a deadly dance

Paint your face
Pound your drum
But don't forget
To load the gun
Say your prayer
And drink your wine
But never let
Them see you cry

And so how will you know
When compromise offers no hope
Take a tip from that tv show
And head for the hills
Cause it's not like there's something to lose
It's only the truth
And it hasn't exactly been used
And it never will
This is not something strange
Don't expect it to change
And everything will be just fine

I'm holding on
It's all that i can do
I can't imagine
Me without you
All alone
I close my eyes
And wake up screaming in the middle of the night
This heart
Don't need it anymore

Swear your love
Say that you remember
Share your love
Hear me calling out your name
I swear my love
Wait a little longer
How will it feel to be left
Standin' there all alone

You're on your own
If you walk through that door
I'm kust a man
I can't give anymore
Somewhere deep inside
There's a memory that keeps you run and hide
You gotta know
You got a place to go

(chorus)

Somewhere deep inside
There's a memory that keeps you run and hide
You gotta know
You got a place to go

(repeat chorus, fade)

Just silence, from the thunder
The reflection of a life
Can't reveal the light inside
But it's no wonder
Never took the chance to say
For whatever reasons why
Good intentions aren't enough
Can't afford to put them off anymore
But there's nothing to do to make it right
Cause the path of our fate won't be turned aside
Can't expect anyone to understand
But the answer is in your hands

Cuz it's borrowed time
When's the dime running out
Yes it's borrowed time
Just so much life
Without a doubt
Only borrowed time
Who decides, i wonder why
I can't say goodbye

Daylight casts my shadow like the rest
Cause the world keeps going on
And i know that from beyond
You feel my helplessness
But if you were standing here
You would laugh about my fears
Like you always did before
You demanded nothing else
Than you ever save yourself
So what am i frightened for
You were the one
To lead the way
Never fooled by the lights
That lead us all astray
And the last one to think
The worst of things
Doesn't change what
Tomorrow brings

(chorus)

Mysterious ways

I must have aged 20 years in the last seven days
Livin on emotion disbelief and rage
I found out the hard way life is what you make
Sometimes you gotta learn to give yourself a break

You can go where you want to go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all if you just believe

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancin to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways

Accidents can happen and they always do
It only takes a twist of fate to turn on you
I was in the wrong place at just right time
I thought she was a lover not a friend of mine

You can do what you wanna do
You can screw who you want to screw
In the end it's the fantasy
Not reality that will set you free

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancin to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways.

And once it's inside of me
It's like a symphony
You're on a cloud and can't come down
It's like a dream then you come around

You can go where you want to go
You can know who you want to know
Take a good look inside you'll see
You can have it all if you just believe

Time moves in mysterious ways
You're dancin to the music while the music plays
Accelerates and then delays
Time moves in mysterious ways

When it's over...you're always the last one to know. it's a feeling...that nobody wants to show. even though it's killing me. i still blame myself. i wish i could change, but lord knows i know t
Can't. all the feelings...twisting inside my head. i know it's too late...the past i can't seem to forget. if i could change the circumstance. i'd never let you go. i can't hide from the thruth and i want you to know. when i reach out my hand there's nobody there i can touch anymore. when i call out your name. the pain rips right through me like never before. is it too much to ask for one last memory. cause yesterday you said, you'd always be there for me. don't know what's harder...the truth or reality. i hit a brick wall. painted with honesty. i wish that i could give to you, all the things you need. but the one thing i can't is making you leave. (repeat chorus)

I feel a change coming over me
It seems i felt this way before
I sense the sound your eyes won't let you see
I can't take it anymore

Crashing windows, crash
Laughing voices, keep on laughing,
Oh, oh, oh
Stop for a minute

Chorus:
I chase the shadows and light
To a palce no one knows
I hear the screams of the wind
And i know it's the
Darkest night of the year

Can't tell the dreams from reality
My fears are one and the same
So who made me part of destiny
Who made me part of their game
Can't you feel it hurt
Too much pain to endure
Stop for a minute

(chorus)

Cold wind on my skin
Is the pain that i feel when you're near
It's a midnight street
Where we'll meet
And we'll run from the
Darkest night of the year

Crashing windows, crash
Laughing voices, keep on laughing,
Oh, oh, oh
Stop for a minute

(chorus)

Blue eyes, black skies and clouds filled with pain. disguise the emptiness, the disdain. late calls, long halls with words no one hears. reveals the loneliness and the years. like going backward
A revolving door. i don't know which way's out anymore. i can't run from the real truth. and not be living a lie. you can't hide from the fate chasing you. and watch it, from somebody else's eyes. cold hearts, cruel thoughts can destroy the faith. just ask the singer who hell from grace. but things change and strange days can turn a point of view. just time till everyone gets their due. i may not save the world but i'll save myself. can't depend on somebody else.

A thousand miles underneath my emotions
Hidden from the eyes of everyone
No one must know
All the secrets if my soul anymore
No never again

Girl you've got the only key
To open up the door only you
Eventually, even that could change

Chorus:
I will wait for you
But i don't want to wait forever
Cause i'm on my own
I'm trying to keep the fire from getting cold
I will wait for you
But i don't want to wait
Until our love turns to stone

I don't want to turn to stone
I don't want to spend another night without you
I'm afraid my mind will start to wander
Time between us,
Hours turning into days, into years
Oh, oh, oh
Looking back at what went wrong
Some things we must let you
Eventually, something's got to give

(chorus)

I don't want to turn to stone

(repeat chorus and fade)

Queen of hearts and sister vanity. took me by the hand to show me royalty. in this castle so many things to see. and all i could become, a knight wasted away. i said ooh ooh...it's not any thing
Did to me. it's not what you made me feel i did to you. i cry, angry that i played the fool. for these are the tears of my own shame. even just a page i never thought to read. and the writing on the wall became a tapestry. the blues i felt , the reds they blinded me. and all the greens only taught me jealousy. (repeat chorus) and i am not what i care to be. and she is not what i came to see. and like some shakespearean tragedy. that in the end i have to question...finally. (repeat chorus)

This town has got me running scared
We're running out of time girl
Slogans painted everywhere
Messin' up my dream world

I'm trying to make it on my own
Find it all by myself
I can take the overflow,
Could've been me or you
Just like somebody else

I ain't going anywhere
Without you by my side girl
Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive

Chorus:
With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will last forever

Breathing in this filthy air
Is tearing me in two girl
I hear the sirens every night
Like echoes in a cruel world

Nothing that i say or do
Seems to matter at all
Everyone is so confused that's why i had to call

Just hearing you across the line
Is good enough for me girl
Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive

Chorus:
With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will go on forever

Someone like you comes around just one time
Even the weakest of hearts will survive

With a second chance
I know we can make it girl
With a second chance
Love will last forever

(repeat chorus and fade)

Smoke-colored l.a. sky. hand covers up your sleepless eyes. as morning creeps in. passed out there on my couch. wearing the face of down and out. my long lost friend. three cups of coffee and yo
Be on your way. until this time tomorrow you come crawling. back again. open your heart to me. think of my shoulder as sanctuary. open your soul to me. i'll try to unravel your tangled up dreams. and the only thing that matters is your heart stays open for me. i always pictured you. as clear minded but confused with wounds. no one could see. you always made the friends. that never stuck with you until the end. except for me. and the only difference i hear is your alibi. and the only thing in common is the reason. you're still here. open your heart to me. think of my shoulder as sanctuary. open your soul to me. i'll try to unravel your tangled up dreams. and the only thing that matters is your heart stays open for me. i can feel your loneliness. i feel your pain.

Night after night, day after day. i pass by the house that once was our home. i look through the windows, i lean on the bell. there's a light but there's no sign of you. the stranger's new car i
Driveway tells me your there. i know you're there. i feel like a chump doing time on the street. low life and useless as the rags on my feet showin' through. you don't know how much i hate everything about you. your honey red lips and your eyes big and sparkling blue. the curve of your hips and your black irish hair. sends a shiver that runs through me too. you don't know how much i hate you, wish it was true. the alleys are dark, sidewalks are bare. time's on my hands empty and cold. i'm looking for something to knock out the night. till the sun comes up shining like new. the chill in my bones reminds me life isn't fair. and nobody cares. to the lost souls surviving on hard knocks and vice. in a world just as nasty as your world is nice. (baby blue). you don't know how much i hate everything about you. your voic
E like good bourbon so elegant, tasteful and smooth. you're a goddess, a priestess, a temptress, a queen. greta garbo's got nothing on you. you don't know how much i hate you, wish it was true. you were kind to my brother. and good to my friends. you were passionate, faithful and strong. i must have been sleeping. it feels like a dream. i can't tell just where i went wrong. like a dog in the garbage with rocks in my head. i'm strung out and crazy and can't find the thread, running through. you don't know how much i hate everything about you. the poison that runs through my veins telling me what to do. with a flick of a match i could burn down this house. taking every last memory of you. you don't know how much i hate you. i say, you don't know how much i hate you. you don't know how much i hate you. i wish it was true. oh, yes i do.
