    Huey Lewis & The News, Jacob's Ladder
    I met a fan dancer
    down in Southside Birmingham
    She was running from a fat man selling salvation
    in his hand
    Now he's trying to save me
    but I'm doing alright, the best that I can

    Just another fallen angel
    trying to get through the night

    Step by step, one by one
    higher and higher
    Step by step, rung by rung
    I'm climbing Jacob's Ladder

    Coming over the airwaves
    the man says I'm overdue
    Sing along, send some money
    join the chosen few
    Mister, I'm not in a hurry
    and I don't wanna be like you

    All I want from tomorrow
    is to get it better than today

    Step by step, one by one
    higher and higher
    Step by step, rung by rung
    I'm climbing Jacob's Ladder

    All I want from tomorrow
    is to get it better than today

    Step by step, one by one
    higher and higher
    Step by step, rung by rung
    climbing and climbing
    Step by step, one by one
    Step by step, rung by rung
    Step by step
    Step by step

     Blood & Wine Glasses (For Death, There's No More Tears)


    [verse]

    Lift your hearts, raise your glasses (and say cheers)

    This evening's, underway (for your careers)

    Imagine now, in the future (and he said)

    "Photographs, cover features (and a sea of red),

    Carpets for, the VIPs (and the global stars),

    Just you wait, that's you and me (it's not very far),

    So raise your glasses, drink up (and drink it all),

    We'll be somebody, you'll be someone (immortal)."

     

    [pre-chorus/spoken word]

    When that meeting ends, and they file out, thinking "we can make it." The voices in the walls with the souls inside the pictures cry. "All He promises you is Hell."

     

    [verse]

    "Since 72 BC, I've walked (the Earth)

    I've seen the deaths and the falls (and rebirth),

    The human race, enslaved by (their mortality),

    They will perish, and my lifespan's (eternity),

    Tempt them all, like the first, you will (live forever),

    Simply put, I ask you to (do whatever)

    And one more thing, listen to me (my rosebud),

    A solemn vow, make a promise (I need your blood)."

     

    [pre-chorus/spoken word]

    When that meeting ends, and they file out, thinking "we can make it." The voices in the walls with the souls inside the pictures cry. "All He promises you is Hell."

     

    [chorus]

    "My children, my blood will help you,

    so drink up and live through

    eternity and sleep in its bed

    For we will dance forever instead."

     

    [chorus]

    "But tragically, you have one lesson to learn,

    Stay out in the Sun, and you'll burn,

    Immortally young but bound to the night,

    Everything is yours except for God's light."

     

    [bridge]

    (With new purpose, and direction, there's no more fears)

    (They've made the great escape, from death there's no more tears)

    (But a promise like the first one, with a raised glass)

    (Like the ambrosia of the Gods, pouring from a gash).

     

    [pre-chorus/spoken word]

    To get to the top, to matter, people must be stepped on His words like holy scripture were indefatigably followed. "The human's curse of mortality."

     

    [Verse]

    "Leave your hearts, raise your glasses (and say cheers)

    The time to die, to live again (has drawn near)

    What I've promised, is your fate (as you drink this)

    A price to pay, your body's death (for immortal bliss)

    I've paved the way, all that's left (is for you to believe)

    Failure's an option, but my children (please don't ever grieve)

    For you have, till the end of time (to achieve your dream)

    My time's up, another century (for me to sleep)

     

    [bridge]

    (With new purpose, and direction, there's no more fears)

    (They've made the great escape, from death there's no more tears)

    (But a promise like the first one, with a raised glass)

    (Like the ambrosia of the Gods, pouring from a gash).

     

    [chorus] 
    "My children, my blood will help you, (With new purpose, and direction, there's no more fears)

    Forever is a Lie
    (okie it's more of a poem, but it works for my acoustic. wrote it in like 5 mins at 3:30 AM last night.)

    Tears have blurred the mask of makeup
    now twisted under the spotlight.
    Like an actress forgetting her lines,
    I wish I could forget you.

    But your eyes won't slip from my memory.
    Blue and dull you sealed your fate,
    as you have sealed mine with the lies you sold.

    Tears fall cold upon my cheek,
    as I retrace your words in red ink across my wrist.
    Summer's captivation seems to never end,
    and I revisit those few months with every night I lie alone.

    What where once reasons have now become excuses
    and my sweet dreams tread the edge of a nightmare.

    Out of breath and trapped in a vicious cycle,
    the world spins before my eyes
    and your image grows out of focus.

    No matter what was said,
    hold no doubt that I was right.
    My voice breaks and cracks from lack of air
    as I try to speak these last words.

    Why can't there be a forever?

    This was all I found
    and all I have to remember.

    i'm feeling it
    You crawled away from me.
    Slipped away from me.
    I tried to keep a hold,
    but there was nothing I could say.
    You slid and crept away
    and there was nothing I could say.

    So what you're trying to say
    is you don't wanna play.
    But what you want and what you need
    doesn't mean fuck to me.

    Because I can see your back is turning.
    If I could I'd stick the knife in.

    This is love.
    This is my love for you.

    Get up.

    Now.

    Say you won't go.

    Fade Away
    Breathe and remember
    The burning of yourself
    Your soul catches on fire
    And it burns like hell
    That is the allege that you are in hell
    But then comes the rain
    Tears that saves you from that burning place
    And making up such lies that brings you there again
    Take yourself away from all those alibis
     
    Chorus:
    Fade away, away from the night
    The darkest nights in the cold
    Where there are distant lies
    Just fade away, fade from the far away rues
    Let go of what you’ve done
    So close, so far
    Just leave it all alone.
    You appear to be on the earth
    Still singing high with your moans
    Wandering the ends of the earth
    Not knowing what you’ve done
    And you give up on life
    The very life you’ve lived alone
    Running away, or taking the easy way out
     
    You fly away into the sky
    Finally free and distant from your bonds
    There you see the ends
    And the world has gone around
    Singing and crying in great joys
    Watching them suffer the pain you’ve felt
    You cry because you faced that alone.

    i'm not really good with this stuff, but anyways enjoy! heh. please comment if you like it or not. i don't really mind if you say you don't like it. heh.

    It Won't Last
    This is the first song I've written so it's okay. I normally love writing in metaphors but for some reason this came out so straight forward, whatever =p

    Shores apart
    I tried to create a series of poems about the castle that never lets in, though the deepest secrets are hidden behind its walls, but actually I've stopped having written just two verses
    One of them:

    Shores apart
    I roam along the river berth
    Where leaden shallops doze
    where shores have never seen the mirth
    And yawnful gale blows

    There I forgathered wizen men
    That plodded from their boats
    my dormant questions fell in fen
    Though tried to tap the road

    I asked again where gates were reared
    To let me in the hall
    They haled their bags with cherished bread
    And passed in hasteless roll

    But one of them with glazy eye
    Took thought and stood beside
    "No mortal knows where graspless sky
    Has paved the way inside'...

    With scattered thoughts I stood alone
    In loathe for somber shore
    Two widowed eyes with sterling moan
    Embraced the dusk of gore...

    michelle featherstone - coffee and cigarettes

    I gave up coffee and cigarettes
    I hate to say it hasn’t helped me yet
    I thought my problems would just dissipate
    And all my pain would be in yesterday

    I poured my booze all down the kitchen drain
    And watched my bad habits get flushed away
    I thought that that would keep my head on straight
    And all my pain would be in yesterday

    But it’s true
    I’m still blue
    But I finally know what to do
    I must quit, I must quit, you

    I thought that if I didn’t go and play
    The sadness would get bored and go away
    I thought that if I didn’t go astray
    That all my pain would be in yesterday

    But it’s true
    I’m still blue
    But I finally know what to do
    I must quit, I must quit, you

    I sold my guitar and my piano
    I thought that it was these that kept me low
    I thought if only I could try and change
    That all my pain would be in yesterday

    But it’s true
    I’m still blue
    But I finally know what to do
    I must quit, I must quit, you

    I must quit, I must quit, you

    Domestic Rain
    I had a dream
    that after a month of years of silence
    you spoke to me
    and brought a friend with you
    His name was clearly printed
    on a name tag I could clearly see
    but I couldn't read.
    You asked me how
    I could build a wall around me now
    that you've decided to let me in

    So I went home
    and I sat alone
    under domestic rain.
    that's where I dream
    with eyes wide open.
    It's hard to explain
    exactly why
    I feel my eyes
    staring at you
    in your mirror

    It seems
    like the world came crashing down
    all around
    so fast
    It seemed like an eternity
    We tried for optimism
    when it wasn't there to be found
    The world wasn't crashing
    we were simply rising from the ground
    and into the sun.

    So I went home
    and I sat alone
    under domestic rain.
    that's where I dream
    with eyes wide open.
    It's hard to explain
    exactly why
    I feel my eyes
    staring at you
    in your mirror

    The cycle
    is almost over
    I look over my shoulder
    The gap between then
    and where I am seems so small
    Now we're holding new hands
    Making new marks in  the sand
    That we once tracked through
    eachother's worlds.
    And I know that it'll be a while
    Before I can sweep it in a pile
    and blow it all out the door

    So I went home
    and I sat alone
    under domestic rain.
    that's where I dream
    with eyes wide open.
    It's hard to explain
    exactly why
    I feel my eyes
    staring at you
    in your mirror

    From your head to your feet
    Been a long day,
    Been a tiring one,
    Got so much to do,
    That's yet to be done,
    But I can feel your eyes,
    At the back of my head,
    I can feel my face heat,
    Like a bullet of lead

    (Chorus)
    Oh those eyes so divine,
    Sending chills up my spine,
    Oh those lips soft and sweet,
    Can you feel my heart beat?

    Been a short day,
    Been a tedious one,
    Got almost none,
    That's left to be done,
    Now I can feel your lips,
    Brushin' over my face,
    I can feel your heart beat,
    Its quickened its pace

    (Chorus)
    Oh those eyes so divine,
    Sending chills up my spine,
    Oh those lips soft and sweet,
    Can you feel my heart beat?

    Can you feel my heart beat,
    From your head to your feet,
    Can you feel my heart race,
    As it quickens in pace?

    new old song
    wrote this one day while in the hospital, years ago. finally revisiting it after all this time. music is already written, but i'm not surefo the lyrics. let me know what you think
    good/bad etc. etc.

    A Simple choice
    ~peter~

    New face in the crowd
    Timing is everything
    Thoughts I dare not speak aloud
    Monday morning lingering
    Echoes wake me from my sleep
    Of memories not yet known
    Hints of photographs I’ll keep
    Laced with scents of a rose

    Simple choices
    Can be the hardest to make
    A simple choice
    A chance I have to take

    An empty mask on a shelf
    Painted with the scars of time
    The falling rain couldn’t help
    Find the piece of me left behind
    A silent smile breaks away
    Light years from its mark
    Flattering misdirection
    A golden hue steals the dark

    Simple choices
    Can be the hardest to make
    A simple choice
    A chance I have to take

    Shadows of things to come
    Tickle me as they scare
    And you wonder where they’re from
    Flowers that burst from your stare
    A mirrored dream that could come true
    If only for a day
    And maybe someday you’ll know
    All the words I couldn’t say

    Simple choices
    Can be the hardest to make
    A simple choice
    A chance I have to take

    DNR (11:30)
    Upside down,
    Inside out,
    So confused, (replaceable with: messed up/explative)
    And I can't get out

    I wanna jump into the sky tonight,
    I wanna fly and soar with the birds,
    I wanna sing, sing til the sun comes out,
    I wanna share my soul til it hurts

    I wanna beat these drums,
    Til the rhythm runs,
    So the earth and moon will shake,
    I wanna strum these strings,
    Til my fingers bleed,
    Til your soul just wants to quake

    I want my heart to beat to the rhythm,
    Of every single song I hear,
    And the day that all the music dies,
    They'll be a medic shouting, "clear!"



    Curious for feedback, constructive criticism, and comments. Anything to make it better is much appreciated (saying a negative comment w/ out a reason or idea to make it better is a waste of server space).

    I thought this up at about 11:30 last night in bed. I jotted it down on a scrap of paper so I wouldn't forget it.

    Done. Gone. Over.
    Eh. This is probably not the best since it was written quickly and it's pretty personal. Feel free to comment, but I must ask that you don't dissect it and put it under a magnifying glass and pick it apart and tell me all the crap I did wrong. If you don't like it, by all means, feel free to ignore this post.
    Written about my girlfriend. The other song I posted here was written for her too, but when we were still together.

    August In December

    Hello there. My name is Elizabeth, I'm 14 and I have a song I'd like to share that I wrote myself. I'd also like your opinions if you wouldn't mind.

    It'd be August in December
    Love notes for November
    Before I'd forget to remember your name
    Tomorrow came yesterday
    couldn't help you anyway
    Did you get my letter yet?
    Don't think it came
    The rain decided to shine
    Rain decided to shine
    as the sun tumbled down
    onto me
    I'd lend you my umbrella
    but then my ears would get wet
    Spent 14 years keeping them dry
    I guess it wouldn't hurt to try
    Something old

    So, that's it. Please let me know what you think~

    Good Stuff
    So I found some good lyrics and quotes! Hope you all like them as much as I do!

    BELIEVE
    If you can't laugh at yourself, life is going to seem a whole lot longer than you'd like.
    Never trust a man who says trust me.
    Why do people think it's okay for them to do horrible things to other people as long as they apologize afterwards?
    The truth is, everyone's going to hurt you. You just have to decide who is worth the pain.
    I don't know what's wrong. Don't know why I feel the way I do. I just know its killing me.
    Everytime I build myself up, You TEAR ME down
    Every word you said was a LIE and I thought we were FRIENDS but you changed that in time
    I'm giving up on love cause love's given up on me
    Music=Life, play it louder
    Your girls should come before your boyfriend
    Can't seem to find somebody
    Someone to care
    I'm on a lonely road that leads to nowhere
    I'm hoping to discover
    A certain kind of lover
    Who will show me the way
    And keep me warm
    "The hardest part about moving forward is accepting the past and leaving it behind."

    Need some help in identifying this song.
    I hope this post is within community guidelines.

    ===
    I remember a song that has a line that goes....

    "... hit the window ledge and kept on going."

    I cannot recall anything else about the song. It was popular a few years ago. It was played on the radio at times. I think it was about despair and broken dreams.

    Does anyone have any idea what this song might be? Or any pointers on where I could go to seek more assistance?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Trust and Friendship?
    Trust and Friendship?

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone has any song lyrics/quotes about this situation or something similar to it:
    My best friend is this beautiful, intelligent girl who deserves to be treated like one, but her boyfriend, who cares more about smoking pot, hanging out with his guy friends, having sex, trying to get her to do everything she does, saying he is there for her, and does care for her. Yet, pot and jacking off or making her get him off is more important to him. They have an apartment, dog, cat, and bank account together, and he pushes her around, even physically, and she constantly complains about it, and I've tried helping her and telling her the truth, but then she gets mad, says I'm a terrible friend, and jealous because I don't have a boyfriend. I don't know what to do anymore. I can't take anymore of it. She's my best friend, and I am just beginning to think I should stop talking to her altogether. Because obviously everything I do for her, means nothing...

    Please help me!

    Thanks so much!

    Stayin' Awake
    Well, you can tell by the way I drag my feet
    I'm a triple major; no time to sleep.
    Nodding off in the middle of class, I know the teacher's gonna fail my ass
    And now it's all right. It's OK.
    I've got three prelims today.
    We can try to understand
    College life's effect on man.

    Claiming you're a premed, but lookin' like you're half-dead,
    you're stayin' awake, stayin' awake.
    Feel your nerves breakin' and hands won't stop shakin',
    but we're stayin' awake, stayin' awake.
    Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' awake, stayin' awake.
    Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' awake.

    Well now, I score low and I score high;
    if I can't get 4.0, I really try.
    Feels like I've got lead in my shoes.
    but my parents will kill me if I lose.
    It's not all right. It's not OK.
    I failed three prelims today.
    Ain't got time to understand
    College life's effect on man.

    Claiming you're a premed, but lookin' like you're half-dead,
    you're stayin' awake, stayin' awake.
    Feel your nerves breakin' and hands won't stop shakin',
    but we're stayin' awake, stayin' awake.
    Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' awake, stayin' awake.
    Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' awake.

    Class goin' nowhere. Driftin' off to sleep.
    Somebody wake me, yeah.
    Lecture goin' nowhere.
    Somebody wake me up. Stayin' awake.

    Well, you can tell by the way I drag my feet

    i'm trying to find this song that was played at my school's presentation day. jaclyn, grace and i have been scratching our heads over who and what it is. here are some of the lyrics i think i know. i'm pretty sure it starts with "get up, get up". then the chorus goes something similar to:

    "this is the time
    ...
    this is what we've waited for, all the world
    ..."


    thanks!

    Hi...

    Does anyone know of any songs that talk/sing/discuss about a utopia, or a perfect society? Maybe with some element of fantasy in it too? Something similar to "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" by The Beatles. Possibly along those lines (pun unintended) or doesn't even have to be. Its main subject should be about a world contrary to what we live in today <-- generalisation. but anyway, when i say that i mean terrorism, pain, that sort of thing. lyrics talking about a happy happy world. it's for my major textiles project, i wanna interpret those sort of lyrics. so far i only have Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds to choose from :/ Thanks everyone!

    Meat Puppets, Wish upon a Storm
    I can't see the stars
    So I look up to the storm
    Once I put away my dream
    Now I take them out to warm

    Between the skies, the clouds will shine
    Just to take another form
    Wish upon a storm
    Wish upon a storm
    Wish upon a storm
    Wish upon a storm

    The horseshoe on the wall
    Took a tumble to the floor
    I'm gonna hammer nails
    Hang the storm above my door

    You know this atmosphere is crazy
    So I let it slip away
    Wish upon a storm
    Wish upon a storm
    Wish upon a storm

    I'll Hit the Ground
    Since I'm back at Cornell, I've been looking at some of my old parodies, mostly based on college life. Some of them are fairly Cornell-centric, but here's one I hope college students (and former college students) the world over can enjoy:

    I’ll hit the ground

    I took a class that I thought it’d be easy to pass
    But there was something else, alas, I didn’t see

    how could it be I'm the only one who sees our prof’s insanity, yeah

    I am so beat, that I even tried to cheat
    Now I face utter defeat, all for a C

    Why does it sound like the T.A.’s gagged and bound?
    Give a quiz that knocks you down, all in Chinese

    I've taken all and I've endured
    The fall will take my pain
    I'm sure

    Foreign TA: I don’t know do anyting! (x4)

    I had no hand in the syllabus you planned
    The assignments, oh so grand
    couldn’t complete

    nights stayed up late; it’s been months since my last date
    I guess that it’s just my fate that I don’t sleep

    I've taken all and I've endured
    The fall will take my pain
    I'm sure

    Foreign TA: I don’t know do anyting! (x8)

    I’ll hit the ground
    I’ll hit the ground
    When I jump from the bridge (x3)
    I’ll hit the ground
    I’ll hit the ground
    When I jump into the gooo-ooo-ooo-oo-orge!

    For all fans of the horror novels, cheesy horror movies, indie/emo music, coheed and cambria, the alkaline trio, or murder by death:

    Please check out my latest work, posted on my SITE!

    It took me about 4 months to create since I was working on some other writings during that span of time, but in the end I have a fairly cohesive horror-themed tale, narrated through a series of 13 song lyrics.

    Here's a sample lyric, the first one in the story:

    Hope you enjoy!!!

    another new song lyric
    i might give her pearl necklaces or jewelled rings
    and other such comely and lovely things
    but none of them are really what my baby loves
    she loves it when i draw her b-b-b-beads of blood
    from my chest where a giant ruby burns with a fire
    for my only desire, my baby, cause she's simply the best
    blessed
    she will come to me and i will grant to her her heart's request
    blessed
    like a magical fountain driven by a pump that never rests
    blessed
    there's nothing tragic about it, baby, dry your eyes and wet your lips, instead
    though many beautiful objects can fit in her purse
    none are capable of satisfying her deep thirst
    she used to like wine, but, oh, she's given it up, yeah
    she used to lack experience, i was her first
    of all the pain she's felt she says mine was the worst
    now that she's into the swing of it, i'm fillin' her cup, yeah
    with b-b-beads of blood
    from my neck, my tongue, my eyes, my wrists, and my chest
    blessed
    giving back just one part of me, i get to keep the rest
    blessed
    even though eventually she'll drain me to my death
    blessed
    owing spiritually she's my advisor and she knows what's best
    blessed
    she will come to me and i will grant to her her heart's request
    blessed
    like a magical fountain driven by a pump that never rests
    blessed
    there's nothing tragic about it, baby, dry your eyes and wet your lips, instead

    And one by somebody else. I think this song would sound great at half the tempo, with a cello and violin instead of bass and guitar, and pipe organ for accompaniment and filling in for the harmonica. This makes it sound more like a really interesting, sad, blues song instead of rock and roll. The lyrics should be sung like angry, howling blues. They're very interesting lyrics, kind of a celebration of an absurdly nonsensical attitude towards private ownership and social responsibility. Note that I don't condone the actions described, but I can't seem to get the song off my mind, and it was while trying to sing the lyrics and hum the song while riding my bike that I came up with how it should sound, slower and classier:

    I've been caught stealing: once when I was five.
    I enjoy stealing, it's just as simple as that.
    Well it's just a simple fact,
    when I want something, man,
    I don't wanna pay for it.
    I walk right through the door and I walk right through the door.
    Hey all right!
    If I get by, it's mine.
    Mine, all mine!
    My girl, she's one too.
    She'll go and get her a skirt, stick it under her shirt.
    She grabbed a razor for me.
    And she did it, just like that.
    When she wants something, man, she don't wanna pay for it!
    She'll walk right, through the door, walk right through the door.
    Hey all right!
    If I get by, it's mine.
    Mine, all mine!
    Heya! (harmonica solo)
    We sat around the pile. We sat and laughed.
    We sat and laughed and waved it into the air.
    And we, did it, just like that.
    When we want something, man,
    we don't wanna pay for it.
    We walk right, through the door,
    walk right through the door.
    Hey, all right!
    If I get by, it's mine,
    mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine.
    It's mine.

    I believe I can see the future
    As I repeat the same routine
    I think I used to have a purpose
    But then again
    That might have been a dream

    I think I used to have a voice
    Now I never make a sound
    I just do what I've been told
    I really don't want them to come around
    Oh, no

    Everyday is exactly the same
    Everyday is exactly the same
    There is no love here
    And there is no pain
    Everyday is exactly the same

    I can feel thier eyes are watching
    In case I lose myself again
    Sometimes I think I'm happy here
    Sometimes, yet I still pretend
    I can't remember how this got started
    But I can tell you exactly how it will end

    Everyday is exactly the same
    Everyday is exactly the same
    There is no love here
    And there is no pain
    Everyday is exactly the same

    I'm writing on a little piece of paper
    I'm hoping someday you might find
    I'll hide it behind something
    They won't look behind
    I am still inside here
    A little bit comes bleeding through
    I wish this could have been any other way
    But I just don't know- I don't know what else I can do

    Everyday is exactly the same
    Everyday is exactly the same
    There is no love here
    And there is no pain

    Queensrÿche, The Art of Life
    When I asked him,
    He described a thousand lifetimes
    At each turn, a hint of
    What one still must learn

    Now, I've read the thoughts of philosophers
    The words of liars
    Who say that underneath I'm
    Worthless, incomplete

    Someone said (someone said, someone said)
    We live our lives in between
    Is the art of life...?
    What is the art of life? (discipline, discipline)
    Is that the sweet mystery?

    The art of life is without rushing, without faltering
    Pushing as far as we can (lack of fear)

    Observe, with patience
    Free your mind
    Efficiency, control
    To develop the form
    Starts with acceptance
    Then submission to the goal

    Someone said (someone said, someone said)
    We live our lives in between (in between the extremes)
    Is the art of life...? (discipline, discipline)
    Can you tell me?
    Is that the sweet mystery?

    The art of life is: without rushing, without faltering
    We go as far as we can, as far as we can

    (lack of fear, discipline
    discipline, discipline)

    Someone said (someone said, someone said)
    We live our lives in between (in between the extremes)
    Is the art of life...?
    What is the art of life, (discipline, discipline) can you tell me?
    Is that the sweet mystery?

    The art of life is (you got that right)
    Without rushing, without faltering
    Unravelling the secrets of knowledge
    We must challenge and defeat our four natural enemies:
    Fear, clarity, power, and the desire to rest

    Only the Strong

    What makes me think that it'll all work out in the end
    Afraid to feel bad, better off to try and pretend
    I'm immortal, immune to all that is wrong
    Just keep on wishing, crossing my fingers so long
    Is this helping, I'm growing weaker each day
    Can't stop whining, still afraid of what I might say
    Or reactions, that control us one and all
    It's mine, it's pure and, as decent as I can make myself
    Inside, we all know, only the strong survive
    Why don't you think about that
    So now I'm bleeding, on myself yes once again
    Seems I trusted another deceitful friend, my
    Fault should've known the deal
    Keep your friends close, but your enemy's closer
    for real
    Seems easy, but nothing could be so hard
    Trying to guess life's dealing what's the next card
    I'm surely folding, I don't like this hand at all
    (chorus)
    Keep those eyes wide open, here comes a blind side
    Maybe things happen for a reason, and wherein
    lies the answer
    To overcome the grieving, of life's unruly lessons
    I'm handed in succession, it builds my pain which
    makes me strong
    (chorus)
    Why don't you think about that

    the clouds
    From over your head
    Would you keep your word to me
    Amongst
    all the things you said?

    Or leave me way beyond empty inside
    Awaiting
    my last day to arive (yeah)
    Way beyond empty inside

    Can’t you see I’m hurting?
    But you carry on your antics
    Can’t you see I’m crying?
    But you go on like a fanatic
    Can’t you see I’m screaming?
    Pounding the door, you won’t let me in
    Can’t you see I’m dying?
    Yelling for you to help me get away from him

    (chorus)
    You say those words
    Don’t know they hurt so much
    To you it’s all a joke
    But I’m falling down with nothing to clutch
    I don’t want to tell you now
    It’s way past the beginning
    Well, if this was a game or something
    You sure as hell would be winning

    Can’t you read my eyes?
    Fear cannot be mistaken
    Can’t you hear my words?
    Why do they leave you unshaken?
    Can’t you perceive my wishes?
    Why am I forsaken?
    I’ve been sleeping forever now
    How long will you wait for me to waken?

    You say those words
    Don’t know they hurt so much
    To you it’s all a joke

    I don’t want to tell you now
    It’s way past the beginning
    Well, if this was a game or something
    You sure as hell would be winning

    Must have been like a high
    My mood was so abnormal
    Had to be knocked down from the sky
    Can’t believe it hurt so much
    Tried to get help
    Hurt only more to see that they can’t
    Sitting over paper
    Spilling words and tears
    And still, no one hears me

    (chorus)
    You say those words
    Don’t know they hurt so much

    Do you realise?
    And it was morning
    And I found myself mourning for a childhood
    That I'd thought had disappeared.
    I looked out the window
    And I saw a magpie in a rainbow,
    The rain had gone, I'm not alone
    I turned to the mirror
    I saw you, the child
    That once loved
    The child before they broke his heart
    Our heart,
    The heart
    That I believed was lost.

    Hey, you.
    Surprised?
    More than surprised
    To find the answer to the questions
    Were always in your own eyes
    Do you realise
    That you could have gone back to her?
    But that would only be retracing all the problems that you ever knew
    So untrue
    For she's got to carry on with her life
    And you've got to carry on with yours.

    So I see, it's me
    I can do anything
    I'm still the child
    'Cause the only thing misplaced was direction
    And I found direction.
    There is no childhood's end
    There is no childhood's end
    'Cause you are my childhood friend
    'Cause you are my childhood friend
    Oh, lead me on

    Hey, you,
    You've survived
    Now you've arrived
    To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie
    Now you realise
    That you've got to get out of here.
    You've found the leading light of destiny
    Burning in the ashes of your memory,
    You want to change the world?
    You'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel,
    But that was looking backward
    Now you've found the light.

    You, the child
    That once loved,
    The child before they broke his heart
    Our heart
    The heart that I believed was lost
    So it's me I see, I can do anything
    I'm still the child.
    'Cause the only thing misplaced was direction
    And I found direction.
    There is no childhood's end
    There is no childhood's end
    I am your childhood friend
    Oh, lead me on . . .

    Story with a Key
    I awoke this morning to find the door locked
    And all the windows open
    Clearly an exit but not exactly an escape
    Upon leaving I tested my key and found it no longer useful
    on the door that is when


    When I dream I dream
    of where I might go
    When I dream I dream
    of what I call home

    Where am I when I
    need to rest my head?
    Where are you when we
    might end up dead?

    It was at that time that she boarded her 747
    Headed north somewhere near the speed of light
    Her small arm waving at me below
    Legs and arms all useless


    When I dream I dream
    of where I might go
    When I dream I dream
    of what I call home

    Where am I when I
    need to rest my head?
    Where are you when we
    might end up dead?
    So dead...

    I'm tangled up in wire
    hair all around
    Sometimes I think I never
    heard the sound
    One body all wrapped up
    One ready to run
    I need to go
    where I call home

    Face made of stone and castle made of sand
    And building made of bricks and a broken hand
    I'm all messed up and confused
    Don't know where to go
    I need to go
    Where I call home... home

    I need a dream of you, I need to call home
    I need a dream of you, I need to call home

    I need I need I need to go home
    I need I need my home
    I need to go
    where I call
    my
    home

    Where am I when I
    need to rest my head? rest my head
    I need to go
    where I call home
    my my home
    I need to go
    home
