Desireless

I've tried so hard to remember what it is that i forgot
But i can, but i can believe.....will you now
I've tried, i've tried
I've tried
Cried and kissed goodbye
To something that we both know
Boy you blow my mind
I don't know how i'm going to
Show you what i feel for you
All i know
All i know is i...
Want to be with you

Have you ever tried to be
Have you ever tried to see
Something but you don't really know what it is
Lord but we got to try

Chorus:
I look at you
I hear your voice
I try to remember.....i try to remember
So don't you look at me with worried eyes
'cause you know we got to try girl

All i know
All i know is i....
Want to be with you...
Here i am and i believe
Yes i do.....what i do, what i do for you

Chorus

All i know
All i know is i....
Want to be with you...

Waking up as the sun goes down
Body all in pain
Straight out the door to the worst part of town
Shooting up in vain

Slips all his money to the man
Here we go again....here we go again
Got bags of mercy in the palm of his hand
Shooting up in vain

Chorus:
So he heads for the closest rooftop
And now he's free with the skyline begind
But it won't be long until his high will drop
Then you know what he'll try to find
Such a shame

Now he's back on that hunt for more
Body all in pain
Wanting to get back to where he was before
Shooting up in vain
So now he goes and sells his wedding ring
Here we go again......here we go again
But now he's sold exactly everything
Shooting up in vain

Chorus

Such a shame

Down to the bed as the sun goes up
Body all in pain
Now he swears he's going to stop
Shooting up in vain
He's dr. jekyll and he's mr. hyde
He's got to listen to that voice deep inside
Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train
Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train
Shooting up in vain
Such a shame
Such a shame

Got a one-way ticket on a derailed train

Got to stop shooting up in vain.............(repeat)

Chorus:
Conversation with the child who once believed in you
How does one explain to him what it is you do
He says daddy daddy please tell me it's not true
What all the people are saying....saying about you

There comes a time when one must face the life that you have led
That is a hard thing to do when lies is all that has been said
And the blameless eyes of an innocent youth
Is begging for you to tell the truth
It's such a hard way to learn....hard way to learn

This moment of truth will hurt for life
Don't need to tell you that ain't right
Come now little boy don't you cry
'cause the child in you is still alive

Chorus

There comes a time in this child's life when the boy becomes a man
So many things from his past he now can understand
Like all the times when dad would leave and be gone for so long
And he thought everything was all right
And he thought everything was all right

This moment of truth will hurt for life
Don't need to tell you that ain't right
Come now little boy don't you cry
'cause the child in you is still alive

This moment of truth will hurt for life
Don't need to tell you that ain't right
Come now little boy don't you cry
'cause the child in you is still alive


Such a hard way to learn......(repeat)

Well i found my inspiration there
In silent whispers it just came to me so clear
Simple question of what was i doing there

Chorus:
Hesitation
When i'm standing with my prey
Indecision
Of if i should blow him away

It's kind of strange
What happened from that moment on
What more can i say than reason he was gone
What they were asking was more than i could bear

Execution
What more can...can i say
The realization
Of blowing a brother away

Something in me was gone
Something in me was gone

Chorus

Simple question of what was i doing there
Execution
It was not a part of me
The realization
Of how things are going to be

In my commitment to staying away from guilt
I feel no emotion for those i have gone and killed
Heartless devotion to saving the rest of me...

I take my gun and i give it to my prey
I turn my back to him and start to walk away
All i want is for someone to stop me there

Don't want redemption
Don't want salvation........(repeat)

In my commitment to staying away from guilt
I feel no emotion for those i have gone and killed.....
Heartless devotion to saving the rest of me...

I met the devil in disguise
With his rainbow wings and a pack of lies
I had my suspicions but they were ignored

Chorus:
Far away the angel cries
How far away the angel sings
Don't sell your soul for a pack of lies
Don't sell your soul

I watched him preach from the book of greed
With promises of glory and how we'll succeed
I had my suspicions but they were ignored

Chorus (2x)

He only thought he was going for the thrill of a ride
Wasn't in the play to be gone for long
But he keeps looking back over his shoulder
He knows that something might go wrong
The ride it ain't smooth that is for sure
Strange mood what is the cure
He's got that feeling of impending doom
Like being trapped in a casket inside a tomb

Chorus:
Death defied by will
Like a drug that doesn't kill
Boy you gotta learn what's true
Death defied by will
Like a drug that doesn't kill
The joke is on you
You ought to know better
You ought to know better

He is determined to outsmart this snake
With conviction he will stand his ground
Feeling invincible like death itself
But his immortality won't be found
What should he say at his own wake
That he refuses to fulfill his fate
He doesn't know that this is his last drive
On the road we call alive

Chorus

Now the time has come
You can't play around
And you ought to know
You ought to know better
You ought to know better

Chorus
