Is this just another day? This god forgotten place.
First comes love and then comes pain. Let the games begin. Questions rise and answers fall insurmountable. Love boat captain take the reigns and steer us towards the clear. Here. It's already been sung but it can't be said enough. All you need is love. Is this just another phase? Earthquakes making waves. Trying to shake the cancer off. Stupid human beings. Once you hold the hand of love it's all surmountable. Hold me and make it the truth. That when all is lost there will be you. Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing. And there's just one word I still believe. And it's love. It's an art to live with pain. Mix the light into grey. Lost nine friends we'll never know. Two years ago today. And if our lives became too long would it add to our regret? And the young they can lose hope cause they can't see beyond today. The wisdom that the old can't give away. Hey, constant recoil. Sometimes life don't leave you alone. Hold me and make it the truth. That when all is lost there will be you. Cause to the universe I don't mean a thing. And there's just one word that I still believe and it's love. Love. love. love. love. Love boat captain take the reigns. Steer us towards the clear. I know it's already been sung. Can't be said enough. Love is all you need. All you need is love. Love. Love. Love. |

Lives opened and trashed..."Look ma, watch me crash"... No time to question...why'd nothing last... Grasp and hold on...hold tight and fast... Soon be over...and I will relent... Let the ocean swell, dissolve 'way my past Three days, and maybe longer, won't even know I've left Under your tongue...I'm like a tab... I will give you what...you're not s'posed to have... Under my breath...I swear by sin... For better or for worse...a best we began... Let the sun climb, oh, burn 'way my mask Three days, and maybe longer, shed my skin at last...shed...shed... Let the sun shine, burn 'way my mask Three days, and maybe longer, won't ever find me here Let the ocean dissolve 'way my past Four days, and not much longer... Let my spirit pass... Ooh... This is, this is... (3x) My...last exit |

I'm gonna save you fucker. Not gonna lose you.
I'm feeling cocky and strong. Can't let you go. Too important to me. Too important to us. We'd be lost without you. I'm baby, let yourself fall. I'm right below you now. And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear. Fuck me. And fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear. Fuck me if I care but I'm not leaving here. You helped me when I was down. I'll help when you're down. Why are you hitting yourself? C'mon hit me instead. Let's pick up your will. It's grown fat and lazy. I'm sympathetic as well. Don't go on me now. And I'm not living this life without you. I'm selfish and clear. You're not leaving here without me. I don't wanna be without my best friend. Wake up to see you could have it all. Cause there is but you. And something within you. It's taken control. Let's beat it. Get up. Let's go. Oh you're in your own world, let's see the whole world. Let's pick up your soul. Fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear. Fuck me. Fuck me if you only hear the treble in your head. Please help me to help you help yourself. Help me help yourself. Please want me to. Please let me to help you. |

It's a disease and they're all green. It emminates from their being. Agitation with occupation. And like weeds with big leaves. Stealing light from what's beneath. Where they have more. Still they take more. Course I know. Then I don't. There's a stoway with my throat. It's deceiving. I don't believe him. We can scream out our doors. Behind the wall a fat man snores. In his dreams he's choking on leaves. Well I guess there's nothing wrong with what you say. But don't sell me, "There can't be better ways." Tell the captain "This boat's not safe, and we're drowning." Turns up he's the one making waves. Waves. Waves. I said there's nothing wrong with what you say. Believe me just asking you to sway. No white or black just grey. Can you feel this world with your heart and not your brain? G-R-E-E-D |

They don't seem to notice me, no... All their eyes trained on the street, yo, oh... Sidewalk cigarettes and scenes, yeah...yeah... Up here so high I start to escape Up here so high, the sky I scrape I'm so high, I hold just one breath here within my chest Just like innocence... I remember him, yeah... I swore I knew everything, oh yeah... They say knowledge is a dream, yeah... He's growing up just like me, yeah... I'm so light, the wind he shakes I'm so high, the sky I scrape, yeah... I'm so light I hold just one breath and go back to my nest Sleep with innocence... Up here so high, the bars they break... Up here so high, the sky I scrape... Had my eyes peeled both wide open, and I got a glimpse... Of my innocence...got back my innocence... Baby, got it...still got it... |

Light green to green, dark green, brown.
Every life is falling down. Brown to black, it's coming back. Dies to be part of the ground. Seed to seedling, root to stem. Eyes, no eyes, there's no difference. Every life is looking in. Swallowing seeds on the deathbed. Dig a hole in the garden. Everyone is practicing. But this world's an accident. I was the fool because I thought. I thought the world. Turns out the world thought me. It's all the other way round. We're upside down. Daddy's gone up flames. But this ain't no movie. This ain't no book you can close. When the big lie hits your eye. Everybody's practicing. Our world's an accident. I was the fool because I thought. I thought the world. Turns out the world thought me. It's all the other way round. We're upside down. Let the fluence sat it down. (x2) There's an upside of down. The moon is rolling round the world. (x2) |

The selfish. They're all standing in line.
Fathing and hoping to buy themselves time. He I figure as each breath goes by. I only own my mind. The north is to south what the clock is to time. There's east and there's west and there's everywhere lines. I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine. I am mine. And the feeling it gets left behind. All the innocence lost at one time. Significant behind the eyes. There's no need to hide. We're safe tonight. The ocean is full cause everyone's crying. The full moon is looking for friends at high tide. The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied. I only know my mind. I am mine. And the meaning it gets left behind. All the innocents lost at one time. Significant behind the eyes. There's no need to hide. We're safe tonight. What. And the feelings that get left behind. All the innocence broken with lies. Significance between the lines. We may need to hide. And the meaning that get left behind. All the innocence lost at one time. We're all different behind the eyes. There's no need to hide. |

Clouds roll by
Kneeling is what they say or is it just my way Wind blows by low light sidetracked low light Can't see my tracks your scent way back Can I be here all alone clear a path to my home Blood runs dry Books and jealousy tell me wrong I will feel calm Poise blows by low light car crash low light Can wear my mask your first my last Voice goes by Two birds is what they'll see getting lost upon their way Wind rolls by low light eye sight low light I need the light I'll find my way from wrong What's real the dream I see |

Plaque on the wall says that, "No one's slept here."
It's rare to come appon a bridge that has not been around, or been stepped on. Whatever the notion we lace in our prayers, the man upstairs is used to all of this noise. I'm through with screaming. It echoes. Nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes. Like echoes. Nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes, like this. We're faithfull. We all believe, we all believe it. Echoes. Nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes. We're faithfull. We all believe we all believe it. M-Y-T-H is belief in the game. Controls that keeps us in our box of fear. We never listen. Voice inside so drowned out. Drowned... You are, you are, you are everything. And everything is you. Me you, you me, it's all related. What's a boy to do? Just be a darling and I will be too, faithfull to you. |

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up I wish...

Drive down the street can't find the keys to my own fucking home I take a walk so I can curse my ass for being dumb I make a right after the arches. . . stinking grease and bone Stop at the supermarket. . . people stare like I'm a dog I'm gone to Lukin's... I gotta spot at Lukin's Unlock the door at Lukin's. . . open the fridge Now I know life's worth I find the key but I return to find an open door Some fucking freak who claims I fathered by raping my son I find my wife. I call the cops. This day's work's never done. The last I heard the freak was purchasing a fucking gun. |

Have a drink they’re buying,
Bottom of, bottle of denial, Big guy, big eye, watching me, Have to wonder what it sees, Progress, laced with, ramifications, Freedom’s big plunge. Pull the innocent from a crowd, Raise the sticks then bring ‘em down , If they fail to obey, If they fail to obey. For every tool they lend us, a loss of independence. I pledge to my grievance to the flag, ‘Cause you don’t give blood, then take it back again, We’re deserving of much more. Progress, taste it, invest-it-all, Champagne breakfast for everyone. Break the innocent when they’re proud, Raise the stakes, then bring ‘em down, If they fail to obey, If they fail to obey. Pledge my grievance to the flag, Aw come on, don’t give blood, then take it back again, We’re all deserving something more. I wanna breathe, part of the seen, I wanna taste, everyone I see, I wanna run, when I’m up high, I wanna run to the sea, I only want life to be, I just wanna be, I will feel alive as long as I am free. |

Climbing on a mountain Floating out on the sea Far from lights of a city The elements they speak to me Whispering that life Existed long before breed Balancing the world On its knee Don't see some men as 1/2 empty See them 1/2 full of shit Thinking that we're all but slaves There's ain't gonna be No middle anymore It's been said before The haves be having more Yet still bored Won't someone save? Won't someone save The world? |

Hey...oooh... Sheets of empty canvas, untouched sheets of clay Her lace spread out before me, as her body once did All five horizons revolved around her soul As the earth to the sun Now the air I tasted and breathed has taken a turn Ooh, and all I taught her was everything Ooh, I know she gave me all that she wore And now my bitter hands chafe beneath the clouds Of what was everything? Oh, the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... I take a walk outside I'm surrounded by some kids at play I can feel their laughter, so why do I sear Oh, and twisted thoughts that spin round my head I'm spinning, oh, I'm spinning How quick the sun can, drop away And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass Of what was everything? All the pictures have all been washed in black, tattooed everything... All the love gone bad turned my world to black Tattooed all I see, all that I am, all I'll ever be...yeah... Uh huh...uh huh...ooh... I know someday you'll have a beautiful life, I know you'll be a star In somebody else's sky, but why Why, why can't it be, why can't it be mine |

This broken wheel is coming undone.
And the road's exploding. But you're keeping me strong. Rolling along with you. Love is a tower and you're the key. Leading me higher. When you let me in. Keeping us close, so close, on down the line. Sometimes I burn like a dot on the sun with no one knowing. But you're keeping me strong. Moving along with you. You are a tower of strength to me. The darkening hour sees light again. Again. Ooh wah, ooh wah, you are, you are. Love is a tower of strength to me. I am the shoreline but you're the sea. The sea. You are. |

I have not been home since you left long ago
I'm thumbing my way back to heaven counting steps walking backwards on the road I'm counting my way back to heaven I can't be free with what's locked inside of me if there was a key, you took it in your hand there's no wrong or right but I'm sure there's good and bad the questions linger overhead no matter how cold the winter there's a springtime ahead I'm thumbing my way back to heaven I wish that I could hold you I wish that I had thinking 'bout heaven I let go of a rope thinking that's what held me back and in time I've realized it's now wrapped around my neck I can't see what's next from this lonely overpass hang my head and count my steps as another car goes past all the rusted signs we ignore throughout our lives choosing the shiny ones instead I turned my back now there's no turning back no matter how cold the winter there's a springtime ahead I smile, but who am I kidding I'm just walking the miles every once in a while I'll get a ride I'm thumbing my way back to heaven thumbing my way back to heaven I'm thumbing my way back to heaven |

She lived on the curve in the road
In an old tar paper shack. On the south side of the town On the wrong side of the tracks. Sometimes on the way into town We'd say, "Mama can we stop and give her a ride?" Sometimes we did But her hands flew from her side. Wild eyed Crazy Mary. Down a long dirt road Past the Parson's place. That old blue car We used to race. Little country store with a sign tacked to the side. Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED.' Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd. Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around. Take a bottle drink it down. Drink it... Pass it around. Pass ita... A-take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass itaround. One night thunder cracked. Mercy backed outside my windowsill. Dreamed I was flying high Above the trees over the hills. Looked down into the house of Mary. A bare bulb on. Newspaper covered walls. And Mary rising up above it all. Oh... Oh... Oh... Next morning on the way into town Saw some skid marks and followed them around. Over the curve, Through the fields, Into the house of Mary. That what you fear the most could meet you halfway. (x2) Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around. Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it around. Pass ita... Take a bottle drink it down.

Sometimes we did But her hands flew from her side. Wild eyed Crazy Mary. Down a long dirt road Past the Parson's place. That old blue car We used to race. Little country store with a sign tacked to the side. Said 'NO L-O-I-T-E-R-I-N-G ALLOWED.' Underneath that sign always congregated quite a crowd. Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around. Take a bottle drink it down. Drink it... Pass it around. Pass ita... A-take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass itaround. One night thunder cracked. Mercy backed outside my windowsill. Dreamed I was flying high Above the trees over the hills. Looked down into the house of Mary. A bare bulb on. Newspaper covered walls. And Mary rising up above it all. Oh... Oh... Oh... Next morning on the way into town Saw some skid marks and followed them around. Over the curve, Through the fields, Into the house of Mary. That what you fear the most could meet you halfway. (x2) Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it around. Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it around. Pass ita... Take a bottle drink it down. Pass it... Pass it a... Pass itaround. Oh, pass it a... Pass it arround. Pass it a... Pass it a... Passit a... Oh yeah. |

I'm feeling cocky and strong. Can't let you go. Too important to me. Too important to us. We'd be lost without you. I'm baby, let yourself fall. I'm right below you now. And fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear. Fuck me. And fuck me if you only hear what you wanna hear. Fuck me if I care but I'm not leaving here. You helped me when I was down. I'll help when you're down. Why are you hitting yourself? C'mon hit me instead. Let's pick up your will. It's grown fat and lazy. I'm sympathetic as well. Don't go on me now. And I'm not living this life without you. I'm selfish and clear. You're not leaving here without me. I don't wanna be without my best friend. Wake up to see you could have it all. Cause there is but you. And something within you. It's taken control. Let's beat it. Get up. Let's go. Oh you're in your own world, let's see the whole world. Let's pick up your soul. Fuck me if I say something you don't wanna hear. Fuck me. Fuck me if you only hear the treble in your head. Please help me to help you help yourself. Help me help yourself. Please want me to. Please let me to help you. |

She nursed him there, ooh, over a night
I wasn't so sure she wanted him to stay What to say...what to say But soon she was down, soon he was low At a quarter past...a holy no... She had to turn around When she couldn't hold, oh...she folded... A dissident is here Escape is never, the safest path Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here And to this day, she's glided on Always home but so far away Like a word misplaced Nothing said, what a waste When she had contact...with the conflict... There was meaning, but she sold him to the state She had to turn around When she couldn't hold...she folded... A dissident is here Escape is never, the safest path Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here She gave him away when she couldn't hold...no...she folded... A dissident is here Escape is never, the safest path Oh, a dissident, a dissident is here, oh... Couldn't hold on... She couldn't hold...no...she folded...

The selfish. They're all standing in line.
Fathing and hoping to buy themselves time. He I figure as each breath goes by. I only own my mind. The north is to south what the clock is to time. There's east and there's west and there's everywhere lines. I know I was born and I know that I'll die. The in between is mine. I am mine. And the feeling it gets left behind. All the innocence lost at one time. Significant behind the eyes. There's no need to hide. We're safe tonight. The ocean is full cause everyone's crying. The full moon is looking for friends at high tide. The sorrow grows bigger when the sorrows denied. I only know my mind. I am mine. And the meaning it gets left behind. All the innocents lost at one time. Significant behind the eyes. There's no need to hide. We're safe tonight. What. And the feelings that get left behind. All the innocence broken with lies. Significance between the lines. We may need to hide. And the meaning that get left behind. All the innocence lost at one time. We're all different behind the eyes. There's no need to hide. |

I'm waiting till sundown. I'm searching the haystacks. Water is sunshine. Wait for the moment. The moment between us. The fire is made now. Harder to touch. I wanted to get right. (x3) With it. With you. Bakers dozen parades. Stand and debate. Out single file. Nine in a row. Swear if you must. Keeping your boots on. Float with the now. Hot to the touch. Concrete underground. Cast out everyday. Dregs of society. Underbelly, inside of me. Rejoice and follow thee. I wanted to get right. (x3) With it. With you. I wanted to get right. |

He could have tuned in, tuned in, but he tuned out.
A bad time nothing could save him. Alone in a corridor, waiting, locked out. He got up outta there ran for hundreds of miles. He made it to the ocean, had a smoke in a tree. The wind rose up set him down on his knee. A wave came crashing like a fist to the jaw. Deliver him wings, "Hey look at me now!" Arms wide open with the sea as his floor. Oh, power, oh. He's flying whole. High, wide, oh. He floated back down cause he wanted to share. This key to the locks, on the chains, he saw everywhere. But first he was stripped, and then he was stabbed by faceless men. Well fuckers, he still stands. And he still gets his love he just gives it away. The love he receives is the love that is saved. And sometimes is seen a strange spot in the sky. A human being that was given to fly. I'm flying, oh. High flying, oh. He's flying, oh. High, oh, oh. |

Vedder, Cameron The sirens scream wanton attention. Time to take heed and change direction. Time to take stock and make omissions. Evacuation. Evacuation. Time to take leave all formal functions. Time to plant seeds of a reconstruction. No time this time to feign reluctance. It's like your waiting for a diamond shore to wash your way. Bets put aside you're evil. Lets crawl into your face. A vision vague or not raising a frightful wake you up. Time for evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. There was a solemn man. Watched his twilight disappear. In the sand. Altered by a falling eagle. A warning sign. Sign. He sensed that worry could be strength with a plan he said, "Time for evacuation." Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. Evacuation. |

Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire? Leanin' out to catch the sun's ray A lesson to reapply Are you getting something out of this? All encompassing trip You can spend your time alone Redigesting past regrets, Oh Or you can, come to terms and realize Your the only one, you can forgive yourself, Oh Makes much more sense to live in the present tense Have you ideas on how this life ends? Checked your hands and studied the lines? Have you the belief that the road ahead Ascends off into the light? Seems that needlessly it's gettin' harder to find And approach... Ain't no way to live Are we gettin' something out of this All encompassing trip You can spend your time alone Redigesting past regrets, Oh Or you can, come to terms and realize Your the only one, you can not forgive yourself, Oh Ah, makes much more sense to live in the present tense |

State of love and trust

And I listen for the voice inside my head nothin'. I'll do this one myself. Lay her down as priest does. Should the Lord be countin'? Will be in my honor. Make it pain, painfully quick Promises are whispered in the age of darkness. Want to be enlightened like I want to be told the end. And the barrel shakes and directly at my head. Oh, help me, help me from myself. And I listen from both sides of a friend nothin'. I'll do this one myself. myself, myself Hey, na, na, na, na, hey, that's something Wanna back, back it away And I listen for the voice inside my head nothin'. I'll do this one myself.
