Blue eyes, black skies and clouds filled with pain
Disguise the emptiness, the disdain Late calls, long halls with words no one hears Reveals the loneliness and the years Like going backward A revolving door I don't know which way's out anymore I can't run from the real truth And not be living a lie You can't hide from the fate chasing you And watch it, from somebody else's eyes Cold hearts, cruel thoughts can destroy the faith Just ask the singer who hell from grace But things change and strange days can turn a point of view Just time till everyone gets their due I may not save the world but I'll save myself Can't depend on somebody else |

Of rags and bones
Rusty old wheels on a cobblestone street Everything I own Follows me round like a ghost that won't leave me alone Even sticks and stones Can't leave a mark on this spirit Eel Have you really grown When you come back bleeding from your love torn battles Wish I could feel bad for you Or sympathize after all I've been through I'm not as strong as I seem While your heart is beating I've got this broken machine Those days have gone Took so long just to pick myself up, and try to walk alone No more afraid to let the sun stare at my face See what you have done Nuts, bolts and parts of dark days of broken dreams Take so long to replace As for your falling apart at the seams Wish I could feel bad for you Or sympathize after all I've been through How come you're not as you seem You've got your problems Your self-esteem Wish I could feel bad for you Or feel anything after all I've been through I'm not as strong as I seem While your heart is beating I've got this broken Machine |

Queen of hearts and sister vanity
took me by the hand to show me royalty in this castle so many things to see and all I could become, a knight wasted away I said ooh ooh...it's not any thing Did to me it's not what you made me feel I did to you I cry, angry that I played the fool for these are the tears of my own shame even just a page I never thought to read and the writing on the wall became a tapestry the blues I felt , the reds they blinded me and all the greens only taught me jealousy (repeat chorus) and I am not what I care to be and she is not what I came to see and like some shakespearean tragedy that in the end I have to question...finally (repeat chorus) |

Does it matter if it works out as planned
When the author is the pen in your hand When your mind does what you don't understand Remember that a sentiment changes every day As every sun leave Dows, arrows pointing every way Hey, look around, this is you Don't you worry 'cos it's fine to be confused When you're questioning your fate In time, you will see All that makes you who you are, will become so clear to you And don't you love the things you hate Life will give it's gift if we don't hesitate Some see the paper, then throw the present away If you feel you're dying and the clock just makes you wait Time may find us in tomorrow looking for today Hey look around, this is you Don't you worry 'cos it's fine to be confused When you're questioning your fate In time, you will see All that makes you who you are, will become so clear to you You should love the things you hate |

Never should rush into things
shouldn't spill the wine before it's time wait and see what fortune brings waste away till you can't see the signs always taught to play it safe. wouldn't stick neck out if you could everything is in it's place might as well be chiseled out of wood and your time's running thin it's slipping through your fingers with your chance to begin forever again don't know what you're waiting for don't need a reservation just to live you might be expecting more but you won't get more than you have to give and that's just the way I is everyday it rains somewhere you've got to make the best of what you have you could tie a train out there you better get some sunshine while you can but you've heard this before it's ancient information just walk through the door it's not that complicated (repeat chorus) |

When it's over...
You're always the last one to know It's a feeling... That nobody wants to show Even though it's killing me I still blame myself I wish I could change, but lord knows I know that I can't All the feelings... Twisting inside my head I know it's too late... The past I can't seem to forget If I could change the circumstance I'd never let you go I can't hide from the thruth and I want you to know When I reach out my hand there's nobody there I can touch anymore When I call out your name The pain rips right through me like never before Is it too much to ask for one last memory Cause yesterday you said, you'd always be there for me Don't know what's harder... The truth or reality I hit a brick wall Painted with honesty I wish that I could give to you, all the things you need But the one thing I can't is making you leave (repeat chorus) |

Smoke-colored L.A. sky
Hand covers up your sleepless eyes As morning creeps in Passed out there on my couch Wearing the face of down and out My long lost friend Three cups of coffee and yo Be on your way Until this time tomorrow you come crawling back again Open your heart to me Think of my shoulder as sanctuary Open your soul to me I'll try to unravel your tangled up dreams And the only thing that matters is your heart stays open for me I always pictured you As clear minded but confused with wounds No one could see You always made the friends That never stuck with you until the end Except for me And the only difference I hear is your alibi And the only thing in common is the reason You're still here Open your heart to me Think of my shoulder as sanctuary Open your soul to me I'll try to unravel your tangled up dreams And the only thing that matters is your heart stays open for me I can feel your loneliness I feel your pain |

Listen to my bluebird sing
She can tell you why Deep within her heart you see She knows I must cry Yeah, cry Here she sits aloft that bird Strangest color blue Flying is forgotten now She thinks of you Yeah, you So with all those blues Must be a thousand used Each was differently used You just know You sit there mesmerized By the depth of her eyes Can't be categorized She got soul She got soul She got soul She got soul Do u think she loves you Do u think At all Soon she's going to fly away Worries of her own Find herself another day And go home Go home |
