"Drowning
Man"
I can't see I'm blinded with every step I'm reminded
visions scream in colors but my eyes are black and white
like a shadow without a light
like my last breath before I walk into the light
drowning man going down for the last time
like a drowning man going down for the very last time
I can't speak I'm grounded with every move I make
visions scream I'm going under see you when I wake
like the sun on a rainy day I can't see the light above
drowning man
going down for the last time
like a drowning man
going down for the very last time
"Reason To Live"
Two hearts turning circles
spin out of control
this poison stream of consciousness
begins to overflow
got so much to tell you
need to bare my soul
but all the words we've spoken
were lost so long ago
we've said all there is to say
maybe we're better off that way
I know that someday you'll find reason to live
nothing more to compromise
nothing left to say
inside looking outside
both of us afraid
happiness is just
a little less pain
friends will come and go
but our enemies remain
we've said all there is to say
maybe we're better off that way
I know that someday you'll find reason to live
no explanations
we share the blame
for this invisible articulation
silent and unconsciously
we share the blame
and the pain
we've said all there is to say
maybe we're better off that way
I know that someday you'll find reason to live
"Addiction"
I think love's a drug
like a needle in a vein
gives you something to hold onto
gives you something else to blame
love is like a freeway
my heart spinning like a wheel
its a little like confession
when you've got nothing to reveal
like a river over flowing to an ocean
love is like addiction love drug
love is like a rhythm
beating out of time
love is like a prison
you got yours and I got mine
love is like a vision
when all other eyes are blind
love like addiction to emotion
love is like a fever love drug
love is like a secret
when there's no one left to tell
it calls you to the fountain
but there's no water in well
love is like a shipwreck
washed up on the beach
love is like a preacher
who ain't got no one left to reach
music sweet music in commotion
love is like addiction love drug
love is like freeway
my heart is spinning like a wheel
love is like a prison
you've got yours and got mine
it’s like addiction
"Silver Side of Gold"
When I look back
I can't find too much that hasn't faded
like a silhouette in charcoal gray
when I try to find a reason
I have to ask myself does anybody know
like a change of season
or like a ship adrift never coming home
like a candle slowly burning
and the pages slowly turning
for a taste I'd sell my soul
I'm a young man growing old
all the promises unfold
on the silver side of gold
day turns to night much too quickly
so fast I never saw
sunset on a field
I try to find a moment to hold onto
like water through my fingers
you can't hold on
to something that's not real
like a candle slowly burning
all the secrets I'm still learning
for a taste I'd sell my soul
like a young man growing old
all the promises unfold on the silver side of gold
walking down this winding road with the memories
and the secrets that we hold
I don't know why they all just die
on the silver side of gold
silver side of gold like the candle slowly burning
silver side of gold all the pages I'm still turning
silver side of gold and the secrets I'm still learning
silver side of gold
When I look back I can't find too much that hasn't faded
like a secret never told
just a young man growing old
day turns to night much too quickly
"Rain"
You
you came to save my day
but I can't seem to stop the rain
I try to find a place to go
where no one else can take me
I see you in an open door
with rain upon your face
I can't stop the rain from falling down
this is my confession
this is my heart calling out
you you never looked away
but I've got nothing left to say
you take me to a place we know
that only you can take me
I see you in an open door
with rain upon your face
I can't stop the rain from falling down
this is my confession
this is my heart still in doubt
you you tried so hard to save
what I just took and threw away
we'll never find that open door
someone else is waiting
I can't look back cause girl I know I'll
see you standing there
I can't stop the rain from falling down
this is my confession
this is anything but doubt
I can't stop the rain from falling down
oh I could lie to you baby
oh I could do that to you
"No
More"
I’ve
dined on love and the ashes of
choked by passion and desire
when is enough enough
burned by the flame of love
you said you’d never leave me babe
now where you gonna go
I just need to know
and I promise you no more my baby
promise you no more
trust a casualty of love my friend
rules may break but never bend
when is enough enough
burned by the flame of love
you said you’d never hurt me babe
now where you gonna go
I just need to know
and I promise you no more my baby no more
Like a shroud of light upon the day
truth eclipsed by all the lies
silent anger with nothing left to say
cool tears drown this burning desire
I’ve dined on love and the ashes of
burned by passion and desire
giving sentence my freedom to take
you said you’d never leave me babe
now where you gonna go
I just need to know
and I promise you no more my baby
promise you no more
"Raising Cain"
It’s a long road to nowhere
in a dream that you could not find
it’s a story left unspoken
in a time when there where no lies
give me forty hours
give me forty days
and I’ll be raising cain
say a prayer for the unforgiven
change your mind if you can’t abide
you keep me there in my own prison
you try to hide what I feel inside
give me forty hours
give me forty days
and I’ll be raising cain
It’s a long time abandoned
on a road that never dies
it’s a story of fire and passion
if you can find what lies inside
give me forty hours
give me forty days
and I’ll be raising cain
"Stand or Fall"
crying parent tell their children
if you survive don’t do as we did
a son exclaims there’ll be nothing to do to
a daughter says she’ll be dead with you
while foreign affairs are screwing us rotten
line moral has hit rock bottom
dying embers stand forgotten
talks of peace are being trodden
stand or fall state your peace tonight
stand or fall let’s state it tonight
is the value of our existence?
should we proclaim with such persistence
our destiny relies on conscious
red or blue what ‘s the difference
stand or fall state your peace tonight
stand or fall let’s state it tonight
it’s the euro theatre it a human dimension
it’s the euro theatre
empty face reflects extinction
ugly scars divide a nation
desecrate the population there will be no exaltation
stand or fall state your peace tonight
stand or fall let’s state it tonight
it’s the euro theatre it a human dimension
it’s the euro theatre
stand or fall let’s state it tonight
stand or fall let’s state it tonight
"Fairies Wear Boots"
Going home late last night
suddenly I got a fright
yeah I looked through the window and surprise what I saw
fairy boots were dancing with a dwarf
all right now
fairies wear boots yeah you’ve got to believe me
yeah I saw it I saw it I tell you no lies
fairies wear boots yeah you’ve got to believe me
I saw it I saw it with my own two eyes
all right now
fairies wear boots yeah you’ve got to believe me
yeah I saw it I saw it I tell you no lies
fairies wear boots yeah you’ve got to believe me
I saw it I saw it with my own two eyes
all right now
so I went to the doctor see what he could give me
he said sorry son you’ve gone too far
cause smoking and tripping is all that you do
yeah
"Dreamer Deceiver"
standing by my window
breathing summer breeze
saw a figure floating
‘neath the willow tree
asked us if we were happy
we said we didn’t know
took us by the hand and up we go
we follow the dreamer through the purple hazy clouds
he could control our sense of time
we thought we wee lost but
no matter how we tried
everyone was in peace of mind
we felt a sensation tripped inside our frame
finding complete contentment there
and all the tensions that hurt us in the past
all seemed to vanish in thin air
set in the cosmos is a single sonic sound
that is vibrating constantly
and if we could catch
and hold on to the note
we would see our minds were free oh their free
