Sometimes I love sometimes I lie sometimes it's hard to say goodbye then sometimes it's easy I wish I could run I wish i could hide all this pain bottled up inside but why, must I, feel let down It seems like it hurts like maybe I'm sinking or maybe I'm just over thinking then maybe I'm not maybe today maybe tomorrow I'll forget everything about my sorrow then maybe I wont. but why, must I, feel lost I feel incomplete like maybe theirs more maybe this isn't what I was meant for then maybe I'm stuck maybe there is maybe there's not maybe its just a random thought but who knows if thats true but why, must I, feel caught Forget everything forget all I told you forget I ever offered to hold you maybe... scratch that last one maybe it is maybe its wrong I hope I don't feel this for long but i Probably will and Why, Must you, feel nothing at all and why, must you, feel nothing at all.

Driftwood floats on alkaline waters surrounded by poison sand a city floats in the distance like some broken promise land the people there have no eyes and they don't have any ears they'll continue living there for 9000 years They lock themselves in concrete coffins that stand a mile high they slave away their lives I'll bet you wonder why the watchers tell them when to eat and when to leave or stay they go about their business they know no other way If you try and walk amongst them they will try and gain your mind they'll temp you with their vision they'll think their being kind the game they play they play for keeps no mater how hard you cry they'll do to you what they did to me they'll take you with their lie Don't trust the ones that talk to you they can't know who you are you've got to try and hide yourself if you run you wont get far this place is a toxic garden it's no place to reside this city on the water will consume you from inside If this song strikes a chord with you, you might consider reading this book some time: http://www.amazon.com/Ishmael-Adven...../dp/0553375407

Drink your lime green tea and watch the white smoke rise your mind belongs to me I see it in your eyes you've got it Don't you? I've watched you from afar and I know you've seen the pale light behind my eyes like elements of kerosene You see it don't you? and I see your empty bottles lying on your bed and I know those empty bottles are filling up your head so drink your lime green tea and watch the white smoke rise Your mind belongs to me I see it in your eyes you've got it Don't you?

There, there she goes ridin' that lonesome road I've traveled many times. In In the sunset She rides a pale horse In the rain She sees She sees the future she sees a troubled past Long gone She knows now that shes someone shes just another girl with no name with no name

Rain falls like tears on natures face it pools blue as she cries as we make our last stand and fall to the ground just another day in the universe as we all say goodbye.

Selfish Love 04:29
This kind of selfish love You were so far above me You were always thinking of ways you could make my life better But I never saw you for what you were Maybe I'll write it all down in a letter But I'm afraid you'll leave before I turn You know im so confused You did'nt try to hurt or use me You have a way thats clear You try s hard i conceed You have a way thats sincier I'm cold wont you come and warm me Your touch is like a flower I'm begining to need it every hour of the day I'm never quite there but still, I'm happy I'm there just as long as I am sad Your arms circle round and trap me Yet my heart is still iron clad

Love scattered all around you stare without a sound you set your mind at ease now that you don't have me Your bedroom is empty you stare at the wall and you think to yourself whats become of it all but rest wont come easy before the dawn comes the ribbons fly the parade.... has begun So much for a broken heart cut down before it starts the blood from the cut runs deep and drips to the pools of your sleep Your bedroom is empty you stare at the walll and you think to yourself whats become of it all but rest wont come easy before the dawn comes the ribbons fly the parade.... has begun Love is a funny thing it flies on broken wings the truth that was in your heart was known from the very start Your bedroom is empty you stare at the wall and you think to yourself whats become of it all but rest wont come easy before the dawn comes the ribbons fly the parade.... has begun

On a Wire 04:37
Your face is lined with pain but you can't see anyway you know that I love you more than I can say [chorus] You have my heart on a wire you make me feel high my hands are too tired to touch you still I feel I can't decide My tongue licks your tears before they can fall to the ground we're whispering through the years can't you hear the sound [chorus] You have got me thinking that I, I cant run anymore The game we've been playing is coming to a close [chorus and end]

Blue 04:44
looking up at my empty wall I lay my head back down and call to you My head just hurts too much today and I don't have much to say except I'm blue Ahhhh- I'm blue Ahhhh- I'm Blue I pull the strings on my old guitar I lift myself I laugh at what you do You eyes of ivory gold reflection turn in my direction quite confused Ahhhh- You do Ahhhh- You do I'm just here in my lonely room with images of cheap perfume the world keeps passing by in shades of gray giving only second thoughts today *mellotron solo* Life passes quickly there's no time to sit down and enjoy the view Things just go so wrong for me it's like every thing I know just isn't true Ahhh- so true Ahhh- So true I'm just here in my lonely room with images of cheap perfume the world keeps passing by in shades of gray only giving second thoughts today Life passes quickly there's no time to sit down and enjoy the view........

I see the dawning morning light I see the sunlight shining in for you Like you do for me Your lightning smile lights a spark Deep within my battered heart for you Don't you see? I forgot, Just how good it could be I see the light behind your eyes More colorful than western skies in the eve Do you believe? That you could be the only one That makes my blood run hot or cold it's true Its just you And in you I see all that I could be I'm just a simple man I don't have a lot to say or give it's true Can I be enough for you? You have my words, you have my soul you have my body, please don't break my heart It would tear me apart And I know, just how hard it would be These things I say I say for real I don't think I could lie to you if I tried I don't wanna try I love you I need you I can't breath without you I'll lay in bed for hours without you you know its true And that's why, It makes me glad you love me too. And I know just how good it can be.
