1. _ Burden
Always a do or die situation
You can only see in black and white
But you never thought, never thought that I'd be
A little different this time, and
Not every color that you will see
Is the real one every time
Let me clue you in on complexity
And everybody is so very fine
And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside
And as you wasted time playing detective
Is it to figure out my mystery?
Well let me tell you now that I'm no secret
'Cause I can sin before you righteously
And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside
Don't grow bored too quickly
I haven't finished yet
I know it must be painful
To hear what's left unsaid
Don't refuse
It's no use
You can not run from this
Just sit still
And listen
Listen to all you missed
But it's always a do or die situation
You can only see in black and white
But you never thought, never thought that I'd be
A little different this time
And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside

2. _ Little Mary
Little Mary takes a walk
With her perfect hair and perfect heart
And happy as can be
Little Mary
Mary it’s just visual I don’t think it’s real
Inside I think she’s me
Well I could be wrong could be right
Don’t think it matters
Cause little Mary sings her song and wipes away her tears
Little Mary don’t you worry
You're perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down
Drop a line my way
You say it Mary, say it Mary
Don’t be afraid to reveal
It’s this preconceived notion that everybody's got
That little girls are perfect and angry they are not
And little Mary don’t you worry
You're perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down
Oh little Mary
Don’t you jump now
Little Mary show them who you are
Show them what you are
And little Mary takes a fall
All the way to heaven
Her feelings always trapped inside her perfect little heart
Her image is secure
She had to do what she had to do
To keep a perfect little Mary
It’s always a perfect little Mary that falls
She falls
And it’s always a perfect little Mary that falls
Mary falls
Little Mary don’t you worry
You're perfect all around
No wounds or worries on your head
Just please come back down

3. _ Paradise
Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been
Well nothing hurts and nothing bleeds
When covers tucked in tight
Funny when the bottom drops
How she forgets to fight... to fight
And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright, alright
As darkness quickly steals the light
That shined within her eyes
She slowly swallows all her fear
And soothes her mind with lies
Well all she needs and all she wants
Are reasons to survive
A day in which the sun will take
Her artificial light... her light
And it's one more day in paradise
One more day in paradise
It's one more day in paradise
One last chance to feel alright... alright
Don't pretend to hold it in just let it out
Don't pretend to hold it in just let it out
Don't you try to hold it in, push it out
Don't you try to hold it in, hold it in
Once upon a year gone by
She saw herself give in
Every time she closed her eyes
She saw what could have been

4. _ Wonder
When the pressure will not fade away
When the real things starts to become fake
When you can’t recognize your own hands
Turn around and begin again
When the sky starts ripping and falling
And the horizon is no longer calling please
Don’t try to make it on emptiness
Turn around and begin again
But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure
If your eyes become glazed with indifference
If your screaming with lips that are silent
If you can’t find light in the day
Turn around and begin again
But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure
When you cannot find yourself anywhere
If your standing but feel your not really there
If your waiting for someone to catch you
Turn around and begin again
If you can’t seem to find what’s been to be found
In a heart that pumps rage as your only sound
If your waiting to be blown away
Turn around and begin again
But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure
But now and then
Now and then
I wonder.

5. _ Wanted
I have wandered far and wide
For something real something to die for
But I have found you and you do not see
All that is me all that is true and
I am more than you will see,
I am more than you will be,
I am more than you will see,
More than wanted
And as you float the flimsy surface
You should know life lies beneath it
And don't pretend you feel what I feel for you
Live illusion and I am real
I am more than you will see,
I am more than you will be,
I am more than you will see,
More than wanted
I am more than you will see,
I am more than you will be,
I am more than you will see,
More than wanted
I know, I know you like the way
You feel when I play
I know, I know you don't really
Hear what I say
I know, I know you are waiting
For something to raid
I know, I know you wish you could be
More than you say
I have wandered far and wide
For something real something to die for
But I have found you and you do not see
All that is me all that is true and
I am more than you will see,
I am more than you will be,
I am more than you will see,
More than wanted
I am more than you will see,
I am more than you will be,
I am more than you will see,
More than wanted
More than you'll love, more than you'll hate,
More than you'll feel, more than wanted
More than you'll need, more than you'll dream,
More than you'll hear, more than wanted
More than you'll taste, more than you'll touch,
More than you'll hold, more than wanted
More than you'll crave, more than you'll cherish,
More than you'll have, more than wanted

6. _ Ordinary Days
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky
And as he asked if I would come along
I started to realize
That every day he finds just what he's looking for
And like a shooting star he shines
And he said
Take my hand
Live while you can
If we walk now we will
Divide and conquer this land
As he spoke, he spoke ordinary words
Though they did not feel no
For I felt what I had not felt before
And you'd swear those words could heal
And as I looked up into those eyes
His vision borrows mine
And I know he's no stranger for I feel
I've held him for all of time
And he said
Take my hand
Live while you can, no
And if we walk now we will
Divide and conquer this land
Divide and conquer this land
Divide and conquer this land
Please come with me
See what I see
Touch the stars for time will not flee
Time will not flee
And you must be
Just a dream, just an ordinary dream
As I wake in bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy
was it all in my head?
Didn't he ask if I would come along?
It all seemed so real
But as I looked to the door I saw that boy
Standing there with a deal
And he said
Take my hand
Live while you can, no
And if we walk now we will
Divide and conquer this land
Divide and conquer this land
Divide and conquer this land
Just a day, just an ordinary day
Just trying to get by
Just a boy, just an ordinary boy
But he was looking to the sky

7. _ Meggie Sue
Floating down
An endless river
Passing dive
Touching whatever
Never knowing where you're going but still living every
Moment that counts
Stand and linger to see
Meggie Sue is free
Don’t speak
She just wants to be
Over waves
Up and down
Does not matter
She lives unbound
Consequences pose no threat for she is rising and not
Looking down
Stand and linger to see
Meggie Sue is free
Don’t speak
She just wants to be
Stand and linger to see
Meggie Sue is free
Don’t speak
She just wants to be

8. _ Last Fall
As I leave the demons behind me
I find myself within your eyes
I didn’t seem to know what I was missing
Just seemed so out of my eyesight
But now I feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you’re calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
Cause I have finished falling
As I fight the shadows that disguise me
Dyin’ for these hidden ways
All that seems so far is now behind me
And I can soar while my heart is left sinking
But now I feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you’re calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
Cause I have finished falling
And it's as if new old eyes have found me, ‘cause things look different than before
I've never felt so light and so free and so willing to go on no matter what I come across
Cause I will not stop pushing ‘til I have recovered what was lost
Feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you’re calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
Cause I have finished falling
Funny how the things you need will find you
The things you want will leave you wanting some more
Everything that comes along reminds you
You can either rise above or you can hit the floor
But now I feel like I could fly feel like I could rise up
There to where you’re calling me
No more asking why no more foolish lies
Cause I have finished falling
No I’m no I’m no no...I

9. _ Faces
I’m waiting helpless and wanting more oh
I have been here before
So what’s the next step is it up or down
Please [take*] me to the door
But there are too many faces too many faces
And I don’t know what they’re all for
So give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in-between
I just want to know what is real
Give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in-between
Cause I don’t want to fight this any more
I’m living for sure
Yi yi yi yi yi yi...
I’m on the outside and I’m peering in
But things don’t look like what they have been no
There are too many races too many races
And I don’t really want to win
So give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in between
I just want to know what is real
Give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in between
Cause I don’t want to fight this any more
I’m living for sure
I promise I will never take more than I can give
But I don’t want to play these silly games
No, I just want to live so please
Take off your mask and show me all that you are
Because life is better when you are not busy playing parts.
Yes I said life is better when you are not busy playing parts.
Yes it is, life is better when you are not playing with
Faces
Give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in between
I just want to know what is real
Give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in between
Cause I don’t want to fight this any more
I’m living for sure
I’m living for sure
Why am I running I am running so far oh
Just to figure out who you all are
And there are too many questions too many questions
And all the answers seem so far
Give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in between
I just want to know what is real
Give me earthquakes and heartache
And everything that’s in between
Cause I don’t want to fight this any more
I’m living for sure
I’m living for sure, yeah
Yi yi yi yi yi yi yi...

10. _ Devil Dance
I can see it but you won’t
I look around you are alone
Memories they seem to fade
And I said I would stand by your side
But his side seems to be your side
Don’t let me get in the way
So you can do-si-do with the devil in the dark
And around and around you go, no
Do-si-do with the devil in the dark
And desperate for a sense of self
But you only look to someone else
When the answer’s buried in your head
Grow farther from the life you crave
Grow empty with each passing day
Oblivious to every thing
But you still do-si-do with the devil in the dark
And around and around you go, no
Do-si-do with the devil in the dark
Around and around you go you go
With no way out
No screams allowed
So be still you feel fine
Don’t escape you are mine
Illusions following you fast
Reality left in the past
The floor has fallen from your feet
But you still do-si-do with the devil in the dark
And around and around you go, no
Do-si-do with the devil in the dark
It’s been upon his finger all the time
All the time
You feel fine.

11. _ Twilight
I was stained, with a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew what was right, just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight
Never cared never wanted
Never sought to see what flaunted
So on purpose so in my face, couldn't see beyond my own place
And it was so easy not to behold what I could hold
But you taught me I could change whatever came within these shallow days
And I will, I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen
As the sun shines through it pushes away and pushes ahead
It fills the warmth of blue and leaves a chill instead and
I didn't know that I could be so blind to all that is so real
But as illusion dies I see there is so much to be revealed
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight
And I was stained, with a role, in a day not my own
But as you walked into my life you showed what needed to be shown
And I always knew, what was right
I just didn't know that I might
Peel away and choose to see with such a different sight
And I will never see the sky the same way and
I will learn to say good-bye to yesterday and
I will never cease to fly if held down and
I will always reach too high cause I've seen, cause I've seen, twilight...

12. _ All I Ask
Stumbling down a road lined with signs
It's obvious I'm in the wrong direction
But I won't stop now you know I feel fine
Just looking for some affection
And all I ask is to be able to hold on longer
And all I ask is to be able to walk on water
Walk on water
I figure it won't be long it won't be hard
Just gotta get my feet back on the ground
Just gotten a hold of some unlucky cards
And I have yet to make another round
And all I ask is to be able to hold on longer
And all I ask is to be able to walk on water
Walk on water
No one lent a hand, no one laid a look upon me
Invisible to everything but blame
No, and no one cared to tell, no one dared to believe in anything
And left me to drown in this pain
And all I ask is to be able to hold on longer
And all I ask is to be able to walk on water
Walk on water
