Today is just the same
as any other day to me.
Walking wall to wall to pass the time,
I picture what it’s like on the other side.
Because I’m here on the inside of blue, without you.
Day in day out on and on ...
I’m missing you.
Nothing seems to work as well
my face in the mirror looks like hell.
I think I need to see a doctor.
I watch the slow hand move line by line.
I can’t even think of the words that rhyme.
Day in day out on and on ...
I’m missing you.
Some days it feels,
just like falling down.
Some days it’s easy,
just like falling down.
Some days it’s real,
just like falling down.
Some days it’s easy,
just like falling down.
Day in day out on and on ...
I’m missing you.
Iced over, close your eyes.
Whisper the flame,
it takes us higher.
Seems our world
is closing around.
When I’m inside you,
you bring me to sacred ground.
When I’m inside you,
you bring me to sacred ground.
Now you’re the one that I want,
you know it’s true.
Let go of everything,
open up to me.
I’m right beside you,
I’ll be your watchful eye.
I send waves of devotion over you.
You take it all in
and give it back,
give it back again.
You bring me to sacred ground,
when I’m inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.
Yes we’ll love till
there’s nothing left to give.
matching every movement,
swimming in an ocean
of sweat, and scent of you.
It drives me to ...
You bring me to sacred ground,
when I’m inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.
I know I can change your mind.
Give it to me the same way.
Giving it all up for love,
I know that you feel the same way.
I’d give it all up for you,
I swear I would.
Now I’m falling, falling inside ...
You bring me to sacred ground,
when I’m inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.
I’m inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground,
when I’m inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.
One life, is like one prayer,
one love to share.
One thought, one dream.
One world, one meaning.
A man that’s lost everything
holds his faith in his heart.
Speaks to god of broken dreams,
never wondering why when nothing’s heard ... one prayer.
A woman cries in frustration,
her man holds it inside.
They forgot what got them here,
the vows they promised to stand by ... one love.
One life is like one prayer,
one love to share.
One thought, one dream.
One world, one meaning.
It don’t cost much for you to get to heaven,
you just got to say your prayers.
If you want to stand with your saviors,
you better learn how to bow your head.
Now bend your knees and bruise the earth and pray.
Heed the cries of the war child.
Mothers hold them to their breasts.
Fathers fight an enemy
and fear breeds unto itself ... one world.
One life, is like one prayer,
one love to share.
One thought, one dream.
One world, one meaning.
One life ... One.
You’ve come to me again my friend.
I’ve been waiting so long.
Life seems strange and hard sometimes,
maybe I won’t make it this time.
Oh They’ve taken all I have,
but I just need what’s left of today,
and you can wash it all away.
When it all comes down
and I’m feeling tired and afraid,
you’re always there, and seem come
when I’ve nothing left to give away.
Now I wait for your winds to come
and give me breath for another day,
and your rain to wash me.
I feel the rain coming.
I feel it in my heart, take away my pain.
I feel the rain coming.
Wash me down, wash me down.
Here comes the rain.
Hold me now, just for awhile.
I feel like a candle flame in the wind.
The dust of my deeds past,
covers me, like a fading lie.
I feel the rain coming.
I feel it in my heart, wash away my pain.
Wash me down, wash me down.
I feel the rain coming.
Here comes the rain.
There you were like a ghost from my early days,
staring straight ahead at me.
How could I ever guess, from that moment on,
just how everything would change.
How could I know?
I recall something strange coming over me,
somewhat at a loss for words.
I’d been around and had my share
of what I thought my soul could bare,
but never seen what I saw in your eyes.
How could I know?
We never took it slow.
We gave it all we had and more.
How could I know?
We never took it slow.
We gave it all we had and more.
Looking back at where we’ve been,
the road ahead is so uncertain.
We keep passing open windows forever.
I’ve tried before I’ll try again,
I never know where were going.
I only know that I’ll be yours forever ...
yours forever ...
forever ...
forever.
How could I know?
We never took it slow
We gave it all we had.
We gave it all we had.
Take your children down to the water
wash their heads and sing .. holy holy
Last night I dreamed
you were standing there,
strong and tall beside me.
All my life ... behind me.
You gently took me by my hand
and led me to where I couldn’t see,
but where I’ve always been ... an island.
In my dreams I’ve been
an island ...
where I’m all alone,
and I’ve built these walls
stone by stone.
I want to leave but I don’t know where to go.
I’ve tried the best I can,
but it’s hard to be a man
and feel the way you feel.
I’m different on the inside.
I’ve tried to give to you
what you need to get you through.
I’ll always be ... beside you.
The day you were born
I held you ... small and helpless crying,
your life and mine entwining.
As I looked into your eyes
I saw myself in an overview,
reaching out to you
from this island in the sea.
I don’t want to be an island.
I’ve tried the best I can,
but it’s hard to be a man
and feel the way you feel.
I’m different on the inside.
I’ve tried to give to you
what you need to get you through.
I’ll always be ... beside you.
I ain’t no Romeo.
I’m just the man for you.
Holding out as secrets travel,
they kind of get to you.
Everybody says that
it could’ve been something.
Never was a smart kid,
never knew a good thing.
Always hearing voices swim ...
in your liquid sky.
Liquid Sky ... Always hearing voices,
like no more choices in disguise.
I ain’t no sacred idol
or a saint pretending.
I’ll build you up.
I’ll tear you down.
Turn you wrong side in.
What am I afraid of?
Everyone’s listening.
Standing on my soapbox,
lost the beginning.
Always hearing voices ... swim
in your liquid sky.
Liquid Sky ...
I’m always hearing voices,
like no more choices, like a lie.
It’s just, it’s just liquid sky.
I’m always hearing voices
like electric shock waves in disguise.
I don’t know what this means.
I’ll leave it for your interpretation.
It’s just me at the edge ...
Everybody says that
it could have been something.
Never was a smart kid,
never knew a good thing.
Always hearing voices ... swim
in your liquid sky.
Liquid Sky...
I’m always hearing voices,
like no more choices,
like a lie.
It’s just, it’s just liquid sky.
I’m always hearing voices
like electric shock waves in disguise.
Always hearing voices swim ...
When the whirlwind of noise
surrounds and get intense,
and when words can’t hide their anger or intent.
I feel it in my bones and in my head,
can’t make sense of what is said.
Ready for the take down,
headed for a breakdown.
Fear has me backed against these walls
that I follow and pace.
Time moves in and out of phase
of everything that I face.
I feel it in my bones they rattle and shake,
can’t find a trace of what it takes
to stop this take down.
Can’t stop this breakdown!
Welcome to my scene.
A place that’s in-between
where squares fit the round.
Some affectionately call it ... my breakdown,
When I feel the pressure mounting
and my hands begin to clutch,
I reach my limit of pain and I’ve had enough.
It feels good to pound on tables and chairs
and feel the frenzy start to wear.
Breakdown this take down,
gotta stop this breakdown.
Welcome to my scene.
A place that’s in-between
where squares fit the round.
It’ll never be, never be
more then this. Never.
Miles of desert fly,
the quiet of dawn.
I ride the winds of morning
to see the man that’s burning.
BurningMan
Miles of desert fly,
the quiet of dawn.
I ride the winds of morning
to see the man that’s burning.
In my head I hear the song,
a million voices strong.
I feel the heart of conscious returning,
that’s why the man is burning.
BurningMan
Don’t know you man or where you’re from.
Some say a crazy man, came undone.
Please man, make it all make sense.
Gotta be some man to keep a promise,
you can count on this.
Wot kind of man are you?
Tell me, tell me what do I do?
When you left you took part of me,
all the things I’ll never see.
I fake it, break it, whatever makes it right,
can't see the truth through the web of all your lies.
Wot kind of man are you?
Sometimes life’s not too clear for me,
apologizes never come easily.
I suck up, and buck up and fuck up,
I've spent all my life wondering,
what did I to you, what was I supposed to think?
Hate man, why didn't you tell me?
Now I’m the man, at the end of your family tree.
Wot kind of man are you?
Tell me, tell me what do I do?
Hey, are you okay?
Better luck on another day.
This path some weren’t meant to follow.
You’re curious I can see,
always looking behind the trees.
Keeping one eye on tomorrow.
Re-engineer your head,
is really what the door mouse said.
Push the lies away.
If you take time and look for clues ...
scrape the shit off your shoes,
you’ll feel the real today.
I’d love to take you
to see what I see there,
on the right side of my mind.
On the right side,
on the right side ... of my mind.
Hey, one more thing,
these things are hard to explain.
For some, it seems strange to swallow.
The frontier of our minds
is the last place we find,
but maybe the first place we should go.
I’d love to take you
to see what I see there,
on the right side of my mind.
I reached out
and found you,
though you’d turned way.
Only we would know.
These careless words I need to define,
were they right or wrong? Only you would know.
If we fall apart now it's the end of me.
Won’t ever survive without you next to me.
There’s so much for both of us ahead.
Because it’s you and me alone,
and I’m on my knees here.
I never needed anyone, till I needed you.
I never held a woman, till there was you.
I never saw the light of day, until you.
If I’ve said things that hurt you,
then I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it that way.
This you have to know.
No matter what it seems
to your reasoning, our love is like the sea, washing over me,
moving all around but always remaining.
So I’m on my knees.
I never needed anyone, till I needed you.
I never loved a woman, till there was you.
I never needed anyone.
I see it all now, it’s so clear to me.
Whatever it takes, I’ll be there, you’ll see.
What you gonna do without me anyway?
Because it’s you and me alone
and sometimes we just can’t let go,
of all the pain that we hide.
I never needed anyone, till I needed you.
I never loved a woman, till there was you.
I never saw the light of day.
I don’t know what’s right.
There’ something about it … doesn’t feel too right.
I try letting go. Cough up the anger before
my fright begins to show.
They say walk away.
There’ll be another day.
Walk away, just walk away.
Oh, I can’t believe it, it’s a snake eye roll!
Pay the man. Pay the man in full.
If I say the words … would it bring a smile or turn bad luck around?
For the superstitious kind …
who can’t jeopardize or empathize when you’re in to deep to make it to the other side … can’t walk away. Always another day.
They say walk away.
There’ll be another day.
Walk away, just walk away.
Oh, I can’t believe it, another snake eye roll
Pay the man. Pay the man in full.
Night after night I’m … I’m ready.
I’m ready.
I lay awake and I see their faces.
I’m ready, ready ... I’m going to howl.
Howl
Iced over, close your eyes.
Whisper the flame,
it takes us higher.
Seems our world
is closing around.
When I’m inside you,
you bring me to sacred ground.
When I’m inside you,
you bring me to sacred ground.
Now you’re the one that I want,
you know it’s true.
Let go of everything,
open up to me.
I’m right beside you,
I’ll be your watchful eye.
I send waves of devotion over you.
You take it all in
and give it back,
give it back again.
You bring me to sacred ground,
when I’m inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.
Yes we’ll love till
there’s nothing left to give.
matching every movement,
swimming in an ocean
of sweat, and scent of you.
It drives me to ...
You bring me to sacred ground,
when I’m inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.
I know I can change your mind.
Give it to me the same way.
Giving it all up for love,
I know that you feel the same way.
I’d give it all up for you,
I swear I would.
Now I’m falling, falling inside ...
You bring me to sacred ground,
when I’m inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.
I’m inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground,
when I’m inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.
When the whirlwind of noise
surrounds and get intense,
and when words can’t hide their anger or intent.
