Erase The Slate [us]

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one-uh
No is the saddest experience that you'll ever know
Yes it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
Cuz one is the loneliest number / that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number / wouldn't work for two
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since you went away
Now i spend my time / making rhymes of yesterday
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since you went away
[number] one is the loneliest number
[number] one is the loneliest number
[number] one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
[number] one is the loneliest number
[number] one is the loneliest number
[number] one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do

Lonely / why do i feel this way
If you're so in love with me / why do you stay away
Heartache / breaking down my pride
The closer that i get to you the more i hurt inside
Feeling i've been wrong about you
Try to justify
I'm feeling empty inside
I see the heartache you hide in your eyes
I'm feeling empty inside
Shattered
Shattered / trying to get to you
Left my heart in broken pieces / haven't been so true
Leave me / in my barren world
When i try to give you all i hear the cry of love
There's no words and there's no time for
All the reasons why
I'm feeling empty inside
I see the heartache you hide in your eyes
I'm feeling empty inside
Shattered
I'm feeling empty inside
I see the heartache you hide in your eyes
I'm feeling empty inside
Shattered
Spoken word: yellow walls / i light another cigarette
Rainbow dreams crossing through my eyes
Shattered pictures in my mind
Love lost / lorn
Shattered / shattered / shattered / yeah

There's no reason you can't understand me now
There's no point in living up among the clouds
Tiny innuendoes circling your mind
Come to find out you've been left so far
Left so far behind

And all the time you thought it's turning out so well
You turned your back on me
And wished me straight to hell
(that's where i'll go if you want me to)
I'll see you there
(i'll see you there when your life is through)
I'll see you there
Soaring higher now you're bound to come unglued
You're supported by a love that was untrue
Write your story on a single grain of sand
Heed the warning when you let go
Let go of my hand
A promised kiss upon your lips for not to tell
You turned your back on me
And wished me straight to hell
(that's where i'll go if you want me to)
I'll see you there
(i'll see you there when your life is through)
I'll see you there
So write your story on a single grain of sand
Heed the warning when you let go
Let go of my hand
A promised kiss upon your lips for not to tell
You turned your back on me
And wished me straight to hell
(that's where i'll go if you want me to)
I'll see you there
(i'll see you there when your life is through)
I'll see you there
(that's where i'll go if you want me to)
I won't care
(i'll see you there when your life is through)
I'll see you there
I'll see you there

I lit a candle in your honor today
Prayed for forgiveness for the things that i said
And now i wake up and see i was wrong
All those years wasted / now come and gone
How many years have i been this way
The lines grow deeper / time fades away
Now etched in stone don't have the strength anymore
To break down these walls again
I lit a candle in your honor today
Everything will come around again
And you never know that maybe someday
Everything will come around again
Now i see you on the other side
Sunshine raining down upon your face
You look so beautiful that place where you live
You walk among your dreams we talked about
So i stand here and i stare
In my garden of neglect
Never noticed it before
That it's winter all the time
Was too busy staring at
Your garden that you grew in time
I can see it took a lot of years
Your colors fill my mind
I lit a candle in your honor today
Everything will come around again
And you never know that maybe someday
Everything will come around again
Even though the years keep passing / i reflect
About the one i truly loved and pushed away
Suddenly i stop and feel
That winter rain i know so well
And close my eyes
Wish you all the best
And you never know
I lit a candle in your honor today
Everything will come around
And you never know that maybe someday
Everything will come around
I lit a candle in your honor today
Prayed for forgiveness for the things that i said
And you never know that maybe someday
Everything will come around

Contradiction it's an expedition into darkness
Aggravation is the inspiration into madness
Soon the day will come when all the world will finally see
It's a matter of time / the sand will run out
Waiting for the rising sun
Erase the slate
Erase the slate
My religion is a mind condition as it turns out
Hesitating while my soul sits waiting through my blackout
Soon the day will come down when i'll reflect on all those years
My perfect world / sublime and surreal
Waiting for the rising sun
Erase the slate
Erase the slate
Erase the slate
Erase the slate
Time and time remember when
Life forgave my call
Too much pride / could not repent
Can't escape at all
Erase the slate
Erase the slate
Erase the slate
And start again
Erase the slate[erase the slate]
Erase the slate
And start all over again
Erase the slate

You - you took me to a place i'd never been
High - much higher than before
Now - the vision of you haunting me again
Your spirit chills me to the core
Sing to me / your twisted melody
Mesmerized / it never seems to end
Another haunted lullabye
I don't know the reason or the rhyme
Another haunted lullabye
Steal away the cradle in my mind
Gone - and left me with insatiable desire
Still - i can't escape your trance
Take - your pleasure when you play with my lament
You cast a shadow bound romance
Sing to me / your symphony of woe
Deafening / oh will it ever end
Another haunted lullabye
I don't know the reason or the rhyme
Another haunted lullabye
Steal away the cradle in my mind
I can't stand the way your silence leaves me broken
And my loneliness is playing on the strings of my despair
Another haunted lullabye
I don't know the reason or the rhyme
Another haunted lullabye
Steal away the cradle in my mind

There's a girl next door with a leather coat
And she looks pretty good to me
My friends all say that you better watch out
There's a side of her you haven't seen
Still i took a ride / it was late at night
We were cruising along on her motorbike
Everything was right / til crazy mary went down
So let me tell you about mary
[mary] crazy mary goes round
Let me tell you about mary
[mary] crazy mary goes round and round
Round and round
Called my doctor and i tried to explain
Cuz it didn't make sense to me
Seven different sides and i've seen them all
One for everyday of the week
She gave me a scare / she was combing her hair
A long conversation there was nobody there
Does anybody know / what mary's talking about
So let me tell you about mary
[mary] crazy mary goes round
Let me tell you about mary
[mary] crazy mary goes round
So let me tell you about mary
[mary] crazy mary goes round and round
Round and round
[mary] crazy mary goes round
Funny thing about mary
[mary] crazy mary goes round and round
Round and round
Round and round
Upside down
