Checking in every morning
To the sound of steam and caffeine The sludge in the bottom of the cup Just like the sludge in the stream Slag heap keep growing higher Every morning the sky, it's on fire And it's only 9 AM again Is there an upside to every downside? Keep it inside, it's a downward slide of broken glass Keeps building in piles And I don't know I don't know if the sun ever smiles It's the black sheets of rain Following me again Everywhere I go Everywhere I've been Following me again I feel the toxins fill my blood stream as I'm walking through the parking lot Over and over and over and over and over and over The clouds hanging over Choking the life out of me The motto seems to be "We work in order to be free" It's the black sheets of rain Following me again Everywhere I go Everywhere I've been Following me again Over and over and over and over and over and over again Where were you in my hour of need (I never see the sun stop shining) The clouds roll over the sunlight (Someone stopped the sun from shining) And I stand here, ready to bleed (I never see the sun stop shining) A little rain is all we need (Someone stopped the sun from shining) Where will you be in my darkest hour of need? (I never see the sun stop shining) Where will you be in my darkest hour of need? (Someone stopped the sun) Here it comes again |

Lately I've been thinking
And how the whole world's come undone Everybody's got this sinking feeling Feeling they're on the run But I know a place where time stands still I can picture it in my mind But I'm not sure if we can get there (There is no reason reasons rhyme Why can't you see we're almost out of time) It's too late it's too late it's too late To cover what you've done It's too late it's too late it's too late To call for anyone at all Well I guess I should be so brave to think that I'm the only one who knows It's too late it's too late it's too late To cover what you've done Oh no we need a change (This world's stranger now) Now is not the time to run away (There must be a way) A way that we could listen to the warning signs so pay attention This is my intention to prevent this fate before it gets too late And as the hands of the clock go round and round And the world keeps marching on Can you afford to let it fall now? (The fish in all the streams are dying Fluorocarbons fill the sky And I don't really want to die before my time has come) It's too late it's too late it's too late To cover what you've done It's too late it's too late it's too late To call for anyone at all Well I guess I should be so brave to think that I'm the only one who knows It's too late it's too late it's too late it's too late Now now It's too late (Lately I've been thinking Haven't had that sinking feeling now) |

A moment sits suspended in time what I a time I had with you
Living in your fantasy world, well there ain't much of a view I rarely stepped outside of myself, always caught up in between Some place I thought was good for my health and the place I've always been So let me tell you now Oh, you better stop your crying 'Cause you're feeling so damn happy You try to make me feel like dying Oh, you better stop your crying 'Cause the tears that are running down your face They don't make me feel like dying I guess I never wanted to crash in the wave of your emotion I walked away from all of the trash looking for a perfect ocean But lately I've been finding myself fighting upward int he stream And who could tell that I'm living in hell? Lord, I must be dreaming Oh, you better stop your crying 'Cause I don't listen to you anymore even when you know you're lying Oh, I see the story on your face Stop your crying, 'cause you can't make me feel like dying So now the party's come to and end and to end a perfect time I send you love and all of the best, and all the rest is mine And I'd rather sit and talk to myself after all is said and done What happens next, hey no one can tell, and I ain't tellin' no one Oh, you better stop your crying 'Cause the tears that are running down your face They don't make me feel like dying Oh, you better stop your crying You ain't even trying, you better stop your crying |

If you want me out of your life
Now all you gotta do is tell me I ain't got a life of my own And the one I got with you could kill me You've been taking some time, does it weigh on your mind? If you think you've got an answer tell me, I don't know But if you want me out of your life Now all you gotta do is tell me If you want me out of the way Now all you gotta say is something And do you think you'll tell me today? Well it seems I'm waiting here for nothing You still call me your friend, yeah I think you're pretending If you keep on ignoring me then I will go But if you want me out of your life Now all you gotta do is tell me When all this confusion goes, what else could there be But this feeling I knew that turned out to be true When I saw you walking out you turned your back on me If you want me out of your life Now all you gotta do is tell me I ain't got a life all alone And the one I had with you near killed me Now it's time to catch up on the ones I forgot It took losing you to find the things that I still got But if you want me out of your life Now all you gotta do is tell me Tell me Tell me now, and I will get out of your life |

Another exit on the freeway
Another bridge I cannot bear to cross alone And I've been on the mend I've been getting ready to change my name again And once I had a love so fair Once I had a reason to keep on Left a paragraph taped up on my door It said "Don't wait up 'cause I ain't comin' home" So I've been driving far and wide to find my call in life Been looking for a place where I belong I guess a little pain never killed anyone I guess I feel that way again I can't come clean, I cannot stay Got no reason to explain I've been here too long, I need a change And I hope you'll understand Stained glass window never gonna carry my name Been laid to rest in a field of sticks and stones And above my head all that's left are footsteps Of some kid too young too far away from home So don't send me invitations to your big parade Place of residence unknown In my eyes there is no compromise There is no calm before the storm These things happen all the time Should I throw myself from the hanging tree? Is there a place for those of us who don't belong? I haven't found it yet |

If I ride on the rails I shall ride them alone
And if I need all this pain I will find it alone If I'm wanted for leaving I will leave here alone And if I can't resist this then I am unfit to go A simple solution is all I require If fire is the passion I only aspire to be free Let me be free if the strain on your conscience gets under your skin And leads you to making a sacrifice Sacrifice me Let there be peace To the grave from the cradle we don't rock anymore Now I stand here with both feet planted firm on the floor And if you're planning a future of indefinite grace You'd better start removing the lines of deceit from your face A simple conclusion is all I require If fire is the passion I only aspire to be free Let me be free And all of the hypocrites lie through their teeth Talk about making a sacrifice Sacrifice me Let there be peace How much longer can all this go on? How many more chances can one person have? And all of the questions with no proper answers Continue continue have to go on have to go on Should I bend down and worship the ground of the beautiful people who live without flaws? Success is a virtue to share with the world but failure's a lesson that's best learned alone Respect is a virtue that strong men command but when words become weapons There'll be peace in the valley of death when I rise Peace in the valley of death when I rise |

Wishing well runs wet and dry
I wish for things I never had Surrounds and wells up in my eyes The screaming voice, it lies Wishing well gets someone's attention Every wish you ever had In a day of nights, in the darkest of light Sits and cries, watch the lies Could you give me a wish if I tell you what I want? Will the price be no object? I wish for dreams of light I live for wishing well surprise Deepest light, the secret lies Wishing well gives you all that you desire Homes and trains, and the greenest of plains That you ever happened upon The silent wish, it calls you out Calls you out by name Lays upon the plain, on the mountain high City lights, wish delights What if the waters and wishes appear? Will the price be no object? I wish for dreams of light I live for wishing well surprise Twist and shape on the winding twine Around the spindle winds Wish again, four times again Four wishes deep into the well There's a price to pay for a wish to come true Trade a small piece of your life Roots in the soil, uprooting the soil Mountain high, the mountain high The wish is only to speak a kind Kind of word, so benign absurd The well, three wishes run dry Wishing well is dry When no grass grows, the weeds run in line Wish three wishes, three wishes run dry |

Listen, there's music in the air
I heard your voice, coming from somewhere But look how much we've grown I guess I should have known As the years go by, they take their toll on you Think of all the things we wanted to do And all the words we said yesterday That's a long time ago You didn't think I'd really go, now Are you waiting? (I know why) You're already saying goodbye Are you ready? (I know why) I see a little light, I know you will I can see it in your eyes, I know you still care But if you want me to go You should just say so |
