From baby to best with no second test,
Little storms destroy you. Here is the fame they promised to give you, Taking the place of my hand now. Did you try to be true? What separates me from you? What separates me from you now? Did you borrow the soul, The soul that you sell now? What does your conscience tell you? Where are the demons Of your desire? Why does my love destroy you? Did you try to be true? What separates me from you? What separates me from you now? I said I tried to be true. What separates me from you. I said I tried, tried to be true. What separates me from you. What separates me from you now? Did you try to be true? What separates me from you? What separates me from you now? So where is the fame, Where is the fortune? Where is the world that denies you? Who is to blame, When my heart finally forfeits To a road that will only misguide you? Did you try to be true? What separates me from you? What separates me from you now? Did we try to be true? What separates me from you? Did we try, try to be true? What separates me from you: Did you try to be true? What separates me from you? What separates me from you now? I bought my love a hunger More precious than a stone. All these fatal flowers, Did I misguide you? (Where is the world that denies you) (Try to be true) Did you try to be true? What separates me from you? What separates me from you now? |

you and me of the 10,000 wars
dividing life into factions of pleasure and chores a bed to be made and a bed to lie in a hand in the darker side and our sights set on zion the heart of a skeptic and the mind of a child put my life in a box and let my imagination run wild pour the cement for my feet the heart and the mind on a parallel course never the two shall meet and oh the dissatisfied with the satisfied everybody loves a melodrama and the scandal of a lie still you held your arms open for the prodigal daughter I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes still water try making one and one make one twist the shapes until everything comes undone watch the wizard behind the curtain the larger than life and the power of seeming certain the evil ego and the vice of pride is there ever anything else that makes us take our different sides I wanted everything to feed me about as full as I got was of myself and the upper echelons of mediocrity and oh the dissatisfied with the satisfied everybody loves a melodrama and the scandal of a lie still you held your arms open for the prodigal daughter I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes still water still water after the battles and we're still around everything once up in the air has settled down sweep the ashes let the silence find us a moment of peace is worth every war behind us you and me of the 10,000 wars |

My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark
I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark I don't know when I noticed life was life at my expense The words of my heart lined up like prisoners on a fence The dreams came in like needy children tugging at my sleeve I said I have no way of feeding you, so leave But there was a time I asked my father for a dollar And he gave it a ten dollar raise When I needed my mother and I called her She stayed with me for days And now someone's on the telephone, desperate in his pain Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine Someone's got his finger on the button in some room No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom But I tried to make this place my place I asked for Providence to smile upon me with his sweet face But I'll tell you My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark (By grace, my sight grows stronger and I will not be a pawn for the Prince of Darkness any longer) Maybe there's no haven in this world for tender age My heart beat like the wings of wild birds in a cage My greatest hope my greatest cause to grieve And my heart flew from its cage and it bled upon my sleeve The cries of passion were like wounds that needed healing I couldn't hear them for the thunder I was half the naked distance between hell and heaven's ceiling And he almost pulled me under Now someone's on the telephone desperate in his pain Someone's on the bathroom floor doing her cocaine Someone's got his finger on the button in some room No one can convince me we aren't gluttons for our doom I tried to make this place my place I asked for Providence to smile upon me with his sweet face But I'll tell you My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark I do not feel the romance I do not catch of spark My place is of the sun and this place is of the dark (By grace my sight grows stronger, grows stronger) I do not feel the romance I do not catch the spark (And I will not be a pawn for the Prince of Darkness any longer) |

Pain from pearls-hey little girl-
How much have you grown? Pain from pearls-hey little girl- Flower for the ones you've known. Are you on fire, From the years? What would you give for your Kid fears? Secret staircase, running high, You had a hiding place. Secret staircase, running low, But they all know, now you're inside. Are you on fire, From the years? What would you give for your Kid fears? Skipping stones, we know the price now, Any sin will do. How much further, if you can spin. How much further, if you are smooth. Are you on fire, From the years? What would you give for your Kid fears? Replace the rent with the stars above. Replace the need with love. Replace the anger with the tide. Replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love. Replace the rent with the stars above. Replace the need with love. Replace the anger with the tide. Replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love. Are you on fire, From the years? What would you give for your Kid fears? Replace the rent with the stars above. Replace the need with love. Replace the anger with the tide. Replace the ones, the ones, the ones, that you love. |

everybody loves you
and they want to know your story you go riding out a mystery concealed in all your glory but when it comes to flesh and bones you remind me of shallot only made of shadows even though you're not i remember how i spent all my energy and time with affected conversation trying to pry inside your mind you are as beautiful as truth and as empty as a shell and i came to you one night and it made me feel like hell oh to reach through all your surface just to find an empty pool and to suffer all your pride as i lay down by your side and you swallowed up my heart and left me a fool left me a fool everybody loves a hero an image to create the antithesis of everything inside ourselves we hate but you'd better close your eyes when it's time for them to die because you'd hate to think the life you'd built upon them was a lie oh to reach through all your surface just to find an empty pool and to suffer all your pride as i lay down by your side and you swallowed up my heart and left me a fool left me a fool i resign myself to silence i will never blow your cover no one ever has to know who the hero took for lover but it comes to mind as you blaze on as brilliant as a star how many you've left behind how many casualties there are oh to reach through all your surface just to find an empty pool and to suffer all your pride as i lay down by your side and you swallowed up my heart and left me a fool left me a fool |
