There's a man who is lonely
This could change if he'd only Take a chance and risk stepping outside himself There's a girl he's been seeing From afar he's been dreaming he could have her if he were someone else So he silently awaits A major change in fate A change that comes too late And you're reaching for a star But can you reach that far Standing where you are? The wanting was too much You're longing for her touch It's not within your clutch There's a man who's been thinking To himself he's been dreaming How to build a skyscraper to the stars Now he starts to go to it He's so sure he cand do it Though he's lacking the knowledge of design Now his dream comes crashing around him And tumbles to the sea Along with all he wanted to be A realization strikes him A harsh reality He doesn't know everything When the student tries to teach The knowledge that you seek Lies just outside your reach There's a thirst you have to learn A hunger inside burns Time for the page to turn It's the wanting,It's the hoping,It's the longing There's a flame within your soul To strive to reach your goal But dreaming takes its toll It's nature's own device To grab and roll the dice But each toss has its price Emotions starts to flow Your heart takes control And steers you down the road Your destination is no concern The impulsive never learn Just another bridge to burn It's the wanting,It's the hoping,It's the longing...

I've been a hungry and holy man
Trapped between what i am And want to be I disowned my mind And denied my heart Inspiration set me free Reklinde the fire Of what'll be I see the fixed mark in the mirror The North Star,no need to fear Stop, I'm not time's fool Just a nomad Searching for life Should I kill what gives me life No, I've got to feel this I've got to win this fight She sanctions my right I'm down on my knees She refuted the meek She offers the world The world I seek I see the fixed mark in the mirror The North Star,no need to fear Stop, I'm not time's fool Just a nomad Searching for life You know the heart fuels the mind Alleviates the grind Gives reason to strive Drawing strenght from the sky Knowing nothing is wrong How sublime a thing it is To suffer and be strong (Music: P. Craddick,Benignus,B. Cline) (Lyrics: P. Craddick) |

My destination is unknown
And i've lost my way But I still have water With my rations running low I am so fatigued Can I go much further? Lost and all alone In the blazing heat And it just gets hotter Sweat drips down my skin And string my eyes As I look toward the distance Blistered hands block the sun That blinds my sight And dances on the horizon Is there something up ahead? Or just a mirage Fooling me again Another dried up waterhole Lacking nourishment Quench my thirst and feed my mind The place that I seek is so far away And I don't know which way to go The vision I see is a holy place That is tranquil to the soul Just a nomad sailling across this earthly sea Searching on and on for sanctuary Weary from the chase of life's eluding dream Strive to reach that goal but it's never ending Raise my canteen to parched lips Taste the water so sweet Take one last swallow So many miles I have come So many more to go Down the path I follow Funny how we lose our way Through this desolate land Lives are grains of sand Which way will the wind blow? Sifting through our hands To fall wherever they may The place that I seek is so far away And I don't know which way to go The vision I see is a holy place That is tranquil to the soul (Music: D.Ott,P.Craddick) (Lyrics: D.Ott) |

When I spoke with you today
I didn't know what to say It's been so long, so long I said I'm doing fine But what haunts my troubled mind Is where it all went wrong, so wrong I did not suspect That we would not connect And end up strangers I could dance with you all night Make love by candlelight We could talk and talk but it's all in spite Because you'll never be my friend I could walk with you through the rain We could share each other's pain We could do all this but it's all in vain Because you'll never be my friend As time goes flying by I have to wonder why I don't see you anymore They call it chemistry What will or will not be What's missing between you and me [Chorus] When I spoke with you today I didn't know what to say Maybe so long, so long If you chance on me some night Underneath some lone streetlight Just wave and say, "so long, so long" I do not regret The chance I shan't forget And we're no longer strangers You could dance with me all night Make love by candlelight We could talk and talk but it's all in spite Because I'll never be your friend You could walk with me through the rain We could share each other's pain We could do all this but it's all in vain Because I'll never be your friend Never be my friend,my friend You wouldn't be my friend And I couldn't be your friend So long,so long...

I run my desperate trembling hands
Along the floor were you once walked Fighting tears that come from loss I brave the rooms where we once talked You took a part of me I never can reclaim Your spirit's in my heart But you know it's not the same Straining to beat this blur of tears Swollen eyes beg for my dead friend Reminiscing with a photograph Drives home (that) what was won't be again I will to guarantee my reason will prevail Pain breeds the need for make believe To soothe a heart that's fail Like a wind-up clock left in the rain Like a candle burns away its light We all suffer at death's door As surely as day turns into night I drop down to my knees and plead with the sky Of course it does no good But i'll give anything a try Gazing,thinking,standing on a cliff That guards the blue-green of the sea I accept the blueprint of the world,that All must pass away that's come to be You meant so much to me That's why there's all this pain So much improved from our exchange It will never be same Like a wind-up clock left in the rain Like a candle burns away its light We all suffer at death's door As surely as day turns into night Like a wind-up clock left in the rain Like a candle burns away its light We all suffer at death's door We all suffer loss... As surely day changes into night (Music: B.Cline, P.Craddick) (Lyrics: P.Craddick) |

I'll soon use my hands
To carve paths through this caged world Locked up by them I must hold my courage Whether their kind will ever give Whether in life they'll ever live Flaming eyes burn far above A candle's glow Naked to myself Chained to change One day see the light As I grasp for this My world my joy Purged of its life They will seek their reward Leading them on... They'll bleed they own hearts Steal my world Asserting that I must sanction worse Flaming eyes burn far above A candle's glow Naked to myself Chained to change (Music: Benignus,P.Craddick,D.Ott,B.clime) (Lyrics: Benignus,P.Craddick) |

I arise from sleeplesness invited by the wind
It lifts me up from loneliness and greets Me as a friend It beckons me to walk alone beneath the Nighttime sky An altar of frozen light to worship with my Eyes As you're lost within the view Something reaches out and finds you As you leave the sight behind The feeling that remains, reminds you With the wind in my hair,and heart in Hand Nature and I become one,she Understands and speaks to me Call to mind these images that surface From the deep Ghosts of sights that i have seen when Sight was lost in sleep I've looked across both time and space And haven't blinked an eye Fused with the things I've seen beneath The nighttime sky As you're lost within the view Something reaches out and finds you As you leave the sight behind The feeling that remains, reminds you As you're lost within the view Something reaches out to form you And when you leave the flames behind The embers that remain will warm you (Music: P.Craddick) (Lyrics: P.Craddick,D.Ott) |

There's an aura around you
I'm captivated by your eyes I can't believe that I've found you Why am I so starry eyed? I once lived with honor, followed codes of chivalry But I can't help but falter under the spell of Annowre Oh- this love's not for real The emotions I feel Oh- stronger than tempered steel Can't you see how I feel? Where did you come from? What's your name? Is it all a game? You ignite men's hearts aflame to burn for you in vain Like a magnet you draw me Like a spider to the fly An empty heart is so easy to seduce and hypnotize Oh- is this my destiny? A lock without a key No- this nightmare is no dream Have I lost reality? Where did I come from? What's my name? Nothing seems the same You ignite my heart aflame to burn for you in vain And the ones who let their hearts rule their minds will burn their bridges when they've crossed and leave the world behind... Leave it all behind No- this loves not for real The emotions I feel No- can I break this spell? Only time will tell (Music: D.Ott, P.Craddick) (Lyrics: D.Ott) |

Take a look outside your window
And tell me what you see Does everything look fine to you? It seems the air is a litle hazy And the grass is much too green What's this world coming to? I see you haven't noticed What's happening around you Tell me who is fooling who? If you choose not to take notice And you look the other way The path's not yours to choose Open eyes tell no lies The blind can see through open eyes How is the view looking through closed eyes It must seem very dim Living life in such fear Like a blind man in the darkness Clutches to familiar things Until he's sure the path is clear See the walls you've built around you It's a fortress that you've made Such a lonely solitude But your fortress is a prision And you locked yourself away Sheltered from the truth Open eyes If you opened up your eyes Open eyes You would see through the disguise Open eyes Accept the truth refute the lies Open eyes Open eyes tell no lies The blind can see through open eyes So think about who's thinking for you Do you have a life to waste Seeing what they want you to see? You can lead a horse to water But you cannot make him drink Having the choice means everything See the walls you've built around you Too much trouble to escape Well I guess that you're doomed To live a life of indecision You're buried alive,too late Shall I seal up your tomb? Open eyes tell no lies The blind can see through open eyes (Music and Lyrics: D.Ott) |

I'm under fire blood red sky
Underneath the war machine Fight for what's right don't ask why Just make the sacrifice Desensitized but my eyes Still recognize the pain Truth stark and real fight or die Retreat has no place in this game In the dark and under fire Believing our cause was justified Caught in the crosshairs condition dire Trying a case of do or die In the blink of an eye I took someone's life It's no wonder why I'm haunted by it still Bright Flickering light snubbed by my numbing hands Don't understand One finger slip and it's over for him All's fair in war so they say But later as I try to sleep I just can't help but replay When I sat in as deity Was this man a loving father? Was this man an only son? Though it was one of us or the other I don't feel like the lucky one In the blink of an eye I took someone's life It's no wonder why I'm haunted every night I still hear his cries And think about his wife and his kids And all that he could have been If only we'd have been friends In a blink of an eye: |

I'm not alone
There are millions who are just like me Is our life our own Or are we breed to think everything's fine? Just another ant in the line I don't want to be One more calf who's suckling the cash cow Dressed like a corporate freak Begging the clock to give me the chance to be me A few moments just to be free Swallow the lie just to get by but I'm sick of this bag of feed Try to hide but it feels like you're caught in a landslide When dreams die you can chalk it all up to the Monday Blame it all on Monday Friday feels all right: you think you got all night Saturday is great but then it gets to late When Sunday comes around It brings you right back down dreading Monday And all of what used to define you Serves only just to remind you Of the man you'd hoped to be I can't believe I'm on the clock and wearing a monkey suit Where is my dream? You know the one where I'm up on a stage I guess I'm missing that page Take a quick look, glance through the book before I'm put back in my cage Shed your skin the transformation begins Chalk outline and the finger points to a Monday The only suspect is Monday And all of what used to defined you Serves only just to remind you Of the man you'll never be I'm not alone mindless masses trapped just like me Busy little drones day in day out we're all pawns for the queen I guess it's how it will be Chained to my desk just like the rest who have surrendered their dreams |

I was set loose as a child
To find my way out in the wild Feel asleep inside a cage And woke up in the middle age I felt like I was living a lie And had to escape it all With mortal fears I shaved off the years And went from a walk to a crawl I know I'm reaping what I sown But I never thought I'd die alone I guess I signed up for this fate By sowing the seeds of hate And when I finally shook the phase I was lost and miles away Got to hard to turn around I'd left no bread crumbs on the ground I felt like I should have apologized But that was so overdue And by your eyes, knew I was despised I guess I was afraid of you I know I'm reaping what I've sown But I never thought I'd die alone I guess I signed up for this fate By sowing the seeds of hate So please believe this will that you read That I thought of you everyday I grant to you my hollow legacy Please don't live your life this way I know I'm reaping what I've sown But I never thought I'd die alone I guess I signed up for this fate By sowing the seeds of hate |

Be on our way envied by everyone Our bags are all packed, a breeze starts to blow, the winds at our back, are you ready to go? I'll lead the way, let's follow the sun Oh, the last time we traveled we labored so hard but drifted so far from home Yeah, the search is our battle, can we ever find what we want... Let's take a chance and follow the sun Dare to dance, the music has just begun Step after step, cleansing our souls, cathartic release, making us whole Let's take a chance and follow the sun Oh, the last time we traveled we labored so hard but drifted so far from home Yeah, the search is our battle though we stumble and fall, it's only a bump in the road Oh, the more time unravels, the older we are but the less we seem to know Our resolve is rattled You would think we'd know better by now... |

And there you were beside me in the middle of the crowd
It took so long to find me while I cried to you out loud It seemed like forever I was so alone I thought I'd never find home I was stumbling in the darkness I was living underground Now I'm standing in the sunlight Basking in this love I've found It's the first breath of a baby It's the warmth of a touch I'm giving you my vow I'll say it here and now Nothing I could do could mean as much I savor every moment I hang on every word It's rapture just to touch you The world becomes a blur I'm a better man with you Than I was by myself and when I kiss you can tell It's finding what you're after It's what it's meant to be When I hear your laughter And when you look at me It's like living in a daydream It's like heaven here on earth I don't have much to give but as long as I shall live I give to you my heart for what it's worth I was drowning in an ocean A lost soul set adrift I was wandering in the desert I was stepping off a cliff I was hanging by a heartstring I was just about to slip When you came to my rescue and gave to me the ultimate gift It's a feeling of completness It's half that now whole Now I see forever when you look into my soul It's a drug I've never taken It's like walking throught the clouds Words cannot describe just how I feel inside Because of who you are I'm free somehow It's finding what you're after It's what it's meant to be When I hear your laughter And when you look at me It's like living in a daydream It's like heaven here on earth I don't have much to give but as long as I shall live I give to you my heart for what it's worth |

God dealt a card you didn't ask for Are you the one they throw the change to While the other hand locks the door What are you in for What if I could rise and take this mat with me And what if I had eyes that couldn't help but see And what if I could fly, why not it's never going to be So tell what are you accused of That you should be incarcerated Can you endure a life with no love Or is this a life at all What are you in for What if I could rise and take this mat with me And what if I had eyes that couldn't help but see And what if I could fly, why not it's never going to be He put berries on a vine, stirred waves into the sea He put planets in a line, but he didn't finish me He made day time and the night, so you'd appreciate the sun Am I the darkness to your light, so that you'll be glad you're one Of the lucky ones with all your sanity to spare So keep pretending not to see me, I'll keep pretending not to care What if I could rise and take this mat with me And what if I had eyes that couldn't help but see And what if I could fly, why not it's never going to be |

Some say it's better off this way, now it's over You say the future's looking grey, if it's over: Yeah, there's sorrow as we break -- but it's over Yeah, we've had all we could take -- so it's over Stow away memories of yesterday, to think over Run away, the truth you can't betray, or pushover: Yeah, there's silence as we break --- cause it's over Yeah, you've made your last mistake --- so it's over Words:they hurt, fingers point blame Look to yourself and do the same Painful thing to admit This puzzle piece just won't fit But we tried, and we pushed so hard 'til something had to give Still we cried, and I screamed so loud I'm sure you had to hear Now my fingers bleed and I need some relief Because my back:it breaks So I let you down before you fall but still my heart:it aches Judgement day: the good and bad we weigh, and look over Cast away your negative display, and start over: Yeah, there's silence as we break --- cause it's over Yeah, you've made your last mistake --- so it's over Yeah, there's sorrow as we break -- but it's over Yeah, we've had all we could take -- so it's over |

Wrapped up in What might have been I just pretend That luck was seized from me All alone ( but on the throne ) The King of tragedy Caught up in what could be If only God had smiled on me Another dance with circumstance For His Majesty Crying My bitter tongue denying A life wasted in trying To rise from the bed I've made Where I lay Screaming My aching head is reeling The crown of thorns I'm feeling Made by my own hands Do you understand? Wrapped up in What might have been I just pretend That luck was seized from me All alone ( but on the throne ) The King of tragedy Caught up in what could be If only God had smiled on me Another dance with circumstance For His Majesty Neither her nor there In between is where I'm found Holding court with my excuses: Will the King ever denounce his crown ?? Wrapped up in What might have been I just pretend That luck was seized from me All alone ( but on the throne ) The King of tragedy Caught up in what could be If only God had smiled on me Another dance with circumstance For His Majesty |

So safe within this cozy little cell No risk at all throwing coins into a well I lust for gold, but shutter at the price Reward I want, but not the sacrifice And the target's well with in my sights But my hands won't release the bow I've been pulling back on it so long I've forgotten how to let it go And I know I have the means But my will is gone And I fear I won't succeed so I'm holding on A life passes by, I watch passively I'm haunted by time, my enemy I fear that I'm bound, I fear that I'm free And haunted by time, my enemy I'm frozen by the fast approaching night A dear that stares into oncoming light It's time for me to come down from the fence But either side invites a consequence Waiting for the door to open wide Waiting for the stones to find their place The price it never seems to leave my hands Intentions never help me in the race And I know I have the means But my will is gone And I fear I won't succeed so I'm holding on A life passes by, I watch passively I'm haunted by time, my enemy I fear that I'm bound, I fear that I'm free And haunted by time, my enemy So I'm safe within my cozy little shell No risk at all, just wishing to myself The price of gold, more than I care to spend But the cost of life is to chance the consequence And the target's well with in my sights But my hands won't release the bow I've been pulling back on it so long I've forgotten how to let it go And I know I have the means But my will is gone And I fear I won't succeed so I'm holding on A life passes by, I watch passively I'm haunted by time, my enemy I fear that I'm bound, I fear that I'm free And haunted by time, my enemy |

Can't fight this urge I'm overwhelmed with anxiety It's taking over me Can't calm my nerves I just can't seem to stop this calamity Will it be the death of me? I'm finding out There is no doubt I need some help How can I learn to protect me from myself? This craving is too strong Restraint is on the shelf I just can't be alone with myself too long Can't stop my trembling hands I've got the shakes again Convinced myself the needle's My best friend Never been so high I'm sure if I wanted I could touch the sky I'm already halfway there But I'm falling down Seems my time to fly is running out Does anybody really care? I've figured it out There is no doubt I need some help Can you try to save me from myself? This craving is too strong I've lost all self control I just can't be alone With myself anymore I've nothing left to lose And nothing stops the pain But the poison That I pump through my veins And my tears they leave a stain And my heart won't beat the strain Cause the beast I just can't tame I've figured it out There is no doubt I need some help Can I ever really trust myself? My craving is so strong My self-esteem is gone I must stop Or I won't be around very long I won't be around: Very long: I won't be around: |

Don't you know that one day you'll be found out? Faulty explanations, changing colors -- all breed doubt :You push your thoughts away from the day when you must pay When the storm becomes a blizzard, don't play dead like a lizard Pull it out -- wash it off With the blade of deception sheathed the wounds can heal Though you like the darker climes, they shade you from the real Don't pull it off -- cut it off A game is fair when the players abide by the rules You speak with forked tongue and cast yourself the fool There's something slightly saurian in the structure of your skin Your conscience is well padded, your reasoning is thin :So you put your prayers away until the hunt when you're the prey On the darkest judgement night, the ledger books will be set right Pull it out -- wash it off With the blade of deception sheathed the wounds can heal Though you like the darker climes, they shade you from the real Don't pull it off -- cut it off A game is fair when the players abide by the rules You speak with forked tongue and cast yourself the fool Watch your tail You're headed for a tailspin Approaching danger cuts the water like a shark's fin |

I feel the walls close around me Shadows dance before my eyes I hear the clock tick, it's talking Telling tales of wasted time Just need to catch my breath I've been under too much stress Trapped -- I've been too long here on the inside I'm stranded, stuck here on my own I'm trapped -- A prisoner of my own design On the brink of sensory overload When desperation surrounds me naturally I rationalize But will this calm leave, forsake me with the night apostatize? Can't help, but hold my breath Afraid of what comes next: Trapped -- I've been too long here on the inside I'm stranded, stuck here on my own I'm trapped -- A prisoner of my own design On the brink of sensory overload Never felt so alone Anguish hits me like a stone Who can I blame for engineering my fate When what I love becomes what I hate?

Some nights I lie in forced awakeness My thoughts won't let me go A sleep like death has claimed the world outside The silence reshapes my solitude, from a refuge to a prison Distractionless, nowhere to hide Aloneness holds the mirror I see things I just can't work through Some things you'll never shine any light into Like how to read what will be, from what has been Like what's in store for me, and you I wonder what my life will be, what lies ahead for the people close to me? How can I make my peace with uncertainty -- in a sea of risk, swim with serenity? Some nights my thoughts drag me to a cold, cold place: the dark side of mortality Who will be the next to go -- their light blown out forever, in that merciless finality? Lives are running novels; at times you read, at times you write The choice of which to do might keep you awake at night Should I just accept or act against this pressing moment Should I run for cover or stand and fight? I wonder what my life will be, a public failure or success in obscurity? How can I make my peace with uncertainty -- in a sea of risk, swim with serenity? I wonder what my life will be, what lies ahead for you and me? Can I make my peace with uncertainty? I wonder what my life will be:I wonder: |

Running blind and out of breath But in the wrong direction I don't recall or recognize My own reflection Locked myself in a cell I can't breach My key to sovereignty lies just out of reach Can't set myself free: Can't seem to keep down my last meal Can't turn back the hand I deal Feel like I'm caught in foreign land Exiled by my gavel hand A rat in a cage I'm spinning the wheel But getting nowhere The gallows -- my stage I'm seen by all Performing to no one This could have been my finest day A drug that expends me; the price that I pay Can't throw it away: Can't seem to keep down my last meal Can't turn back the hand I deal Feel like I'm caught in foreign land Exiled by my gavel hand The cage that I'm in is formed From my own design: No way out that I can tell Stay here forever trapped Inside my own mind: I know every corner so well And I fear that when I finally find the will The atrophy will keep me lying still But I'm tired of the darkness And I'm tired of the smell But I'm torn; I don't know anything else And I'm tired of the nighttime And I long for the day But I'm torn; I don't know another way Running blind, out of breath Spinning the wheel But getting nowhere: |

I am weighed down by this pain I am blackened by this stain But I can't complain We have to choose and deal with the rest I must meet this challenge I must pass this test Have to work with what I've got Have to walk before I run No point in always looking back The past can't be undone And I have this cross to bear Can't pretend it isn't there Trust, once broken, so difficult to repair Trust me, though To try and make it there Life is truth and dare We have to choose and deal with the rest In this labyrinth of options This pitfall ridden quest Have to work with what I've got Have to walk before I run No point in always looking back The past can't be undone And I have this cross to bear Can't pretend it isn't there The nails are driven in But not all the way There's no tragic necessity Tomorrow can be a better day So here I sit, alone Peruse my thoughts, survey my heart And work to reconstruct This whole that's splintered into parts Life is a dare We have to choose and deal with the rest I must meet this challenge I must pass this test Have to work with what I've got Have to walk before I run No point in always looking back The past can't be undone And I have this cross to bear Can't pretend it isn't there: Yet this pain behind your stare Shows the depth of how much you care |

Once a week I spit it out Monday I receive Once a week without a doubt Monday hard to believe Once a week I give it up Monday never shows Once a week I lift it up Monday down it goes Struggle between your word my deed To the latter I always concede A two legged chair I choose to build On bread alone I choose to feed Well then why even with all this bread Do I buckle from the pain? It's just sad cause I know what I need has nothing to do with grain Still I try, but nothing my hands make Can ever fill this hole It's just sad, cause getting what I need is so rarely my goal One day I'm stability The next thing that I know I'm relearning humility While chasing every stone and I start to throw in all directions Then I see your hand Scribbling down convictions Hassles in the sand Well then why even with all this bread Do I buckle from the pain? It's just sad cause I know what I need has nothing to do with grain Still I try, but nothing my hands make Can ever fill this hole It's just sad, cause getting what I need is so rarely my goal Struggle between your word my deed To the latter I always concede A two legged chair I choose to build On bread alone I choose to feed |

So you think you've got me figured out Studied every detail now you know me inside and out But do you see me as I am or as you want me to be Do you Color me - change the black from white Color me - use any hue you like Paint the picture but stay within the lines Escape your oppressor - trangress your transgressor Turn it upside down Why blame me when you don't get your way The glass house where you live is just a stones throw away It's easy to point the finger and look away from yourself So you Color me - change the black from white Color me - use any hue you like Paint the picture but stay within the lines Escape your oppressor - trangress your transgressor Turn it upside down Your masterpiece complete; but you left out one formality You can paint till fingers bleed but you'll never change reality How does it feel to sculpt the world, to your plan? Draw me the villain if you don't get your demands Now your out in the rain and the colors are washing away Still you Color me - change the black from white Color me - use any hue you like Paint the picture but stay within the lines Escape your oppressor - trangress your transgressor Turn it upside down |

Why do we loan ourselves to things by which we will never be repaid And feel consoled by tomorrow when today has been profaned? Confused by choices ... or blind to cause-and-effect and a future gravestone Today's a draft of your epitaph Keep changing it, 'til you meet the grave Update your draft of your epitaph 'Till you crash and break like a wave I'll hope to file away my account today, and see in it some value And appreciate all that I've had, before I quit this venue Confused by choices ... but alive to cause-and-effect and a eventual gravestone Today's a draft of your epitaph Keep changing it, 'til you meet the grave Update your draft of your epitaph 'Till you crash and break like a wave Something about someone with a hood and a scythe ... Something about a date you just can't ... cancel Eulogies, memories, services, tombstones, flowers, candles, tears and regrets If I ask myself, every day, 'is today the day?' Then one day, it will be ... my final draft Lost in today ... Confused by choices ... or blind to cause-and-effect ... And a future gravestone, an eventual gravestone ... Today's a draft Today's a draft of your epitaph Keep changing it, 'til you meet the grave Update your draft of your epitaph 'Till you crash and break like a wave |

The look in her eyes as if to say she fears nothing All knowing smile as if nothing has changed She thinks I'm asleep while at night she goes on trembling She thinks I don't know how her life's been rearranged Can't move my arms, can't move my legs Can barely move my eyes To take in the last view I'll ever see It's on the stand beside my bed a picture of my son It's constantly staring back at me Want to tell him that I swear that if I can I'll be there Watching over him and every step he takes How do I say soon comes the day when I must go away What would adhear to a seven-year-old ear? Words that would make it clear I hope that you don't forget me Don't let my memory fade It's my greatest fear My back is numb, my feet are cold I fear that it's only a matter of time now There's just one thing I've got to muster the strenght to say Know that my love is forever Know that and try to remember Don't let my memory fade... |

I think I bit my tongue today No sign of blood But this taste won't go away Even if awound does heal Its scar might never fade unwelcome words can pierce and drain the soul like aphids on the blossoms leave a hole Sometimes the heart and mind won't work together And one gets left behind While the other pulls ahead Naive of where it treads The residue of harmful words outlasts a seeming pardon Little can undo the work of aphids in the garden I can't believe that I hurt You with the words I've said I can't conceive how I fooled my heart and lost my head But as I watched with wonder as your jaw seem to hit the ground I realized that I stuck my foot right in my mouth And what a big foot it is ... I wish that I could turn back time Alter memory or pay some kind of fine Anything to make amends Fix this break to where it bends The residue of harmful words outlasts a seeming pardon Little can undo the work of aphids in the garden I can't believe that I hurt You with the words I've said I can't conceive how I fooled my heart and lost my head But as I watched with wonder as your jaw seem to hit the ground I realized that I stuck my foot right in my mouth These words are fugitives Too harsh or too honest A little pain will gain If I bite my tongue for your sake |

The gray light of the morning, the blue-green of the sea A leaf splashed with color, falling from a tree The sparkle in a diamond, the fire of the sun They all seemed much brighter, am I the only one To see them slowly slip away Something changes a little, day by day Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed A lesson in mortality, eventually, every color fades The blush of a woman, the wamth of a touch The novelty of love, feelings within my clutch I try to savor but it doesn't taste the same Senses numbed and jaded a little day by day Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed A lesson in mortality, eventually, every color... ...fades away slowly but surely as if it were the setting sun A child comes of age, gains life experience Time gathers innocence and trades it in for wisdom Like walking through the snow its purity is stained Like a shooting star across the sky never meant to remain... Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed A lesson in mortality, eventually, every color fades |

Cornered again, i've backed my self in and i'm fresh out of time Too much to deal with lately i feel like i'm juggling knives I'm predisposed to be composed But not of late and no time soon My list it grows by rows and rows And leads me to an early tomb Light in my eyes, i'm paralyzed I've had all i can take If we get one more drop of rain This levy's gonna break I've arranged my priorities Conversely to what i need In haste i grab a plate And fill it with things i hate Cornered again; i back myself in and i'm fresh out of time Too much to deal with lataly i fell like i'm juggling knives I'm burning midnight oil or wicks but at both ends And now the choice is juggling nine or dropping ten Cornered again; i back myself in and i'm fresh out of time Too much to deal with lataly i fell like i'm juggling knive |

Oh to see the moon through her eyes and to feel the sun the first time No preconceptions She looks at me and smiles as she stands While clutching my sandpaper hands No imperfection She elates and illuminates Every strangers face She sets free, moentarily Everyone she sees So this is what they've talked about So bountiful that you never run out A love unmeasured i feel her pain, i feel her delight I feel removed from myself in her sight An infinite treasure She elates and illuminates Every strangers face She sets free, moentarily Everyone she sees I count the days till she looks at me And saysthe words that she' heard so repeatedly Then again i wish time would slow down Because i want to savor a while Her innocent eyes an untainted smile She elates and illuminates Every strangers face She sets free, moentarily Everyone she sees Every day a new revelation |

Woke up all alone, a bed that's cold and sterile With nothing of my own Bombarded and explored by faces unfamiliar Intrusions uncondoned Cruel thoughts in breif but lucid moments I'm losing all i've gathered all my years I wonder why these strangers look so sullen I wonder what i've done to cause their tears Swirling in my head, scenes and reandom memories Things i might have said Some of them are clear but none of them involving Those beside my bed I thought the golden years were for reflecting I thought i'd teach my grandson how to cast I thought i'd be the fireside storyteller I thought that i would revel in my past Waking only to see the shell of a man i used to be Save me i don't want to be a shell of a man Comfidence autonomy taken for granted till they leave Serenity i counted on was mine for a moment now it's gone Today i'm not alone She sparks a distant memory Someone i might have known She fills me in on things we did together She says she's loved me since that day we met She says that even if i don't remember That she will never let herself forget Waking only to see the shell of a man i used to be Save me i don't want to be a shell of a man |

Beyond the broken waves, she walked the shore Thoughts diving down the ocean-floor... 'The ocean flows like life: just like life... Hope is not a thing that she inclines to take into confidence For another disappointment, there can be no recompense Like the vastness of the world, bad luck does not make sense Yet, in this disappointment, the sea can give her sustenance She cast her worries into the tidal pools The wishing wells for lovers and fools 'The ocean flows like life: just like life... Hope is not a thing that she inclines to take into confidence For another disappointment, there can be no recompense Like the vastness of the world, bad luck does not make sense Yet, in this disappointment, the sea can give her sustenance Paint another picture of the world Sketch another image of yourself Re-arrange all the contours and the lines |

A sense of place, a sense of waste, don't know how this can be... The silence that envelops me, whispers something, subtly Exhale and change the atmosphere They've left a trace of their fear... How could something like this have happened in a place like this? Such mindless violence.. The surroundings hold their secrets How could something like this have happened in a place like this? A new day is here, but there's a trace of yesterday Here the trees can speak, in voices weak that suggest a tale of pain Of tears shed in the pouring rain... But at that, they halt their sad refrain Look up, at the vault of starts and the calming harvest moon A witness to the unspeakable, and easily repeatable Cry out to change the atmosphere Some kind of presence is here... How could something like this have happened in a place like this? Such mindless violence.. The surroundings hold their secrets How could something like this have happened in a place like this? A new day is here, but there's a trace of yesterday Red wine spilled on the carpet - we can clean it up Tracks left on the beach that the tides wash away Footprints dug deep in the snow - they'll melt away But what can wash the stain away from this place? A new day is here There are traces of yesterday This place is stained - what will it take to wash them away |

I run my desperate trembling hands
Along the floor were you once walked Fighting tears that come from loss I brave the rooms where we once talked You took a part of me I never can reclaim Your spirit's in my heart But you know it's not the same Straining to beat this blur of tears Swollen eyes beg for my dead friend Reminiscing with a photograph Drives home (that) what was won't be again I will to guarantee my reason will prevail Pain breeds the need for make believe To soothe a heart that's fail Like a wind-up clock left in the rain Like a candle burns away its light We all suffer at death's door As surely as day turns into night I drop down to my knees and plead with the sky Of course it does no good But i'll give anything a try Gazing,thinking,standing on a cliff That guards the blue-green of the sea I accept the blueprint of the world,that All must pass away that's come to be You meant so much to me That's why there's all this pain So much improved from our exchange It will never be same Like a wind-up clock left in the rain Like a candle burns away its light We all suffer at death's door As surely as day turns into night Like a wind-up clock left in the rain Like a candle burns away its light We all suffer at death's door We all suffer loss...

I guess I knew this day would come When you would finally drop the bomb Conclusion long forgone But that you'd say it with a yawn Thought you'd stop Tempting fate Change your ways Now it's far too late I know it's strange Responding with disdain But when you're gone I'll still feel the pain Constantly you'd roll the dice To find your place in Neverland Mirage that easily enticed You into the sinking sand It wasn't that it could You said it so yourself It was only that it would You play the hand you're dealt You say you harbor no regret That love's a double-edged knife To feel its sting you're desperate To fee it deep you'd trade your life So again you roll the dice To find your place in Neverland Mirage that easily enticed You into the sinking sand It wasn't that it could You said it so yourself It was only that it would You play the hand you're dealt |

I'm under fire blood red sky
Underneath the war machine Fight for what's right don't ask why Just make the sacrifice Desensitized but my eyes Still recognize the pain Truth stark and real fight or die Retreat has no place in this game In the dark and under fire Believing our cause was justified Caught in the crosshairs condition dire Trying a case of do or die In the blink of an eye I took someone's life It's no wonder why I'm haunted by it still Bright Flickering light snubbed by my numbing hands Don't understand One finger slip and it's over for him All's fair in war so they say But later as I try to sleep I just can't help but replay When I sat in as deity Was this man a loving father? Was this man an only son? Though it was one of us or the other I don't feel like the lucky one In the blink of an eye I took someone's life It's no wonder why I'm haunted every night I still hear his cries And think about his wife and his kids And all that he could have been If only we'd have been friends In a blink of an eye: |

When I spoke with you today
I didn't know what to say It's been so long, so long I said I'm doing fine But what haunts my troubled mind Is where it all went wrong, so wrong I did not suspect That we would not connect And end up strangers I could dance with you all night Make love by candlelight We could talk and talk but it's all in spite Because you'll never be my friend I could walk with you through the rain We could share each other's pain We could do all this but it's all in vain Because you'll never be my friend As time goes flying by I have to wonder why I don't see you anymore They call it chemistry What will or will not be What's missing between you and me [Chorus] When I spoke with you today I didn't know what to say Maybe so long, so long If you chance on me some night Underneath some lone streetlight Just wave and say, "so long, so long" I do not regret The chance I shan't forget And we're no longer strangers You could dance with me all night Make love by candlelight We could talk and talk but it's all in spite Because I'll never be your friend You could walk with me through the rain We could share each other's pain We could do all this but it's all in vain Because I'll never be your friend Never be my friend,my friend You wouldn't be my friend And I couldn't be your friend So long,so long...

I'm not alone
There are millions who are just like me Is our life our own Or are we breed to think everything's fine? Just another ant in the line I don't want to be One more calf who's suckling the cash cow Dressed like a corporate freak Begging the clock to give me the chance to be me A few moments just to be free Swallow the lie just to get by but I'm sick of this bag of feed Try to hide but it feels like you're caught in a landslide When dreams die you can chalk it all up to the Monday Blame it all on Monday Friday feels all right: you think you got all night Saturday is great but then it gets to late When Sunday comes around It brings you right back down dreading Monday And all of what used to define you Serves only just to remind you Of the man you'd hoped to be I can't believe I'm on the clock and wearing a monkey suit Where is my dream? You know the one where I'm up on a stage I guess I'm missing that page Take a quick look, glance through the book before I'm put back in my cage Shed your skin the transformation begins Chalk outline and the finger points to a Monday The only suspect is Monday And all of what used to defined you Serves only just to remind you Of the man you'll never be I'm not alone mindless masses trapped just like me Busy little drones day in day out we're all pawns for the queen I guess it's how it will be Chained to my desk just like the rest who have surrendered their dreams |

There's a man who is lonely
This could change if he'd only Take a chance and risk stepping outside himself There's a girl he's been seeing From afar he's been dreaming he could have her if he were someone else So he silently awaits A major change in fate A change that comes too late And you're reaching for a star But can you reach that far Standing where you are? The wanting was too much You're longing for her touch It's not within your clutch There's a man who's been thinking To himself he's been dreaming How to build a skyscraper to the stars Now he starts to go to it He's so sure he cand do it Though he's lacking the knowledge of design Now his dream comes crashing around him And tumbles to the sea Along with all he wanted to be A realization strikes him A harsh reality He doesn't know everything When the student tries to teach The knowledge that you seek Lies just outside your reach There's a thirst you have to learn A hunger inside burns Time for the page to turn It's the wanting,It's the hoping,It's the longing There's a flame within your soul To strive to reach your goal But dreaming takes its toll It's nature's own device To grab and roll the dice But each toss has its price Emotions starts to flow Your heart takes control And steers you down the road Your destination is no concern The impulsive never learn Just another bridge to burn It's the wanting,It's the hoping,It's the longing...

All I see, fruits of my own labor
All in vain, all for nothing real All I taste, disappoints in flavor What I know is fighting what I feel This is no time to be distracted Time lost can never be regained Don't let yourself become attracted This need has got to be restrained Where is the treasure? I know there is one I've looked everywhere under the sun I'll search, and I'll fail, and be dead when I'm done But I've looked everywhere under the sun All I've seen seems to lack in color All I've held crumbles in my hands Desperately needing something that will Fill this whole ... seems like nothing can It's time you find out what's important This futile chase has got to end Don't let your conscience lie there dormant The truth can break but never bend Where is the treasure? I know there is one I've looked everywhere under the sun I'll search, and I'll fail, and be dead when I'm done But I've looked everywhere under the sun I've spent my life searching for something to keep me constantly content And now I'm left here with a longing for what I've spent! This is no time to be distracted Time lost can never be regained Don't let yourself become attracted And live your life only to gain Where is the treasure? I know there is one I've looked everywhere under the sun And I'll search, and I'll fail, and be dead when I'm done But I've looked everywhere under the sun All I see Fruits of my own labor |

So safe within this cozy little cell No risk at all throwing coins into a well I lust for gold, but shutter at the price Reward I want, but not the sacrifice And the target's well with in my sights But my hands won't release the bow I've been pulling back on it so long I've forgotten how to let it go And I know I have the means But my will is gone And I fear I won't succeed so I'm holding on A life passes by, I watch passively I'm haunted by time, my enemy I fear that I'm bound, I fear that I'm free And haunted by time, my enemy I'm frozen by the fast approaching night A dear that stares into oncoming light It's time for me to come down from the fence But either side invites a consequence Waiting for the door to open wide Waiting for the stones to find their place The price it never seems to leave my hands Intentions never help me in the race And I know I have the means But my will is gone And I fear I won't succeed so I'm holding on A life passes by, I watch passively I'm haunted by time, my enemy I fear that I'm bound, I fear that I'm free And haunted by time, my enemy So I'm safe within my cozy little shell No risk at all, just wishing to myself The price of gold, more than I care to spend But the cost of life is to chance the consequence And the target's well with in my sights But my hands won't release the bow I've been pulling back on it so long I've forgotten how to let it go And I know I have the means But my will is gone And I fear I won't succeed so I'm holding on A life passes by, I watch passively I'm haunted by time, my enemy I fear that I'm bound, I fear that I'm free And haunted by time, my enemy |

I'll lead the way, let's follow the sun
Be on our way envied by everyone Our bags are all packed, a breeze starts to blow, the winds at our back, are you ready to go? I'll lead the way, let's follow the sun Oh, the last time we traveled we labored so hard but drifted so far from home Yeah, the search is our battle, can we ever find what we want... Let's take a chance and follow the sun Dare to dance, the music has just begun Step after step, cleansing our souls, cathartic release, making us whole Let's take a chance and follow the sun Oh, the last time we traveled we labored so hard but drifted so far from home Yeah, the search is our battle though we stumble and fall, it's only a bump in the road Oh, the more time unravels, the older we are but the less we seem to know Our resolve is rattled You would think we'd know better by now... |

Some say it's better off this way, now it's over You say the future's looking grey, if it's over: Yeah, there's sorrow as we break -- but it's over Yeah, we've had all we could take -- so it's over Stow away memories of yesterday, to think over Run away, the truth you can't betray, or pushover: Yeah, there's silence as we break --- cause it's over Yeah, you've made your last mistake --- so it's over Words:they hurt, fingers point blame Look to yourself and do the same Painful thing to admit This puzzle piece just won't fit But we tried, and we pushed so hard 'til something had to give Still we cried, and I screamed so loud I'm sure you had to hear Now my fingers bleed and I need some relief Because my back:it breaks So I let you down before you fall but still my heart:it aches Judgement day: the good and bad we weigh, and look over Cast away your negative display, and start over: Yeah, there's silence as we break --- cause it's over Yeah, you've made your last mistake --- so it's over Yeah, there's sorrow as we break -- but it's over Yeah, we've had all we could take -- so it's over |

I was set loose as a child
To find my way out in the wild Feel asleep inside a cage And woke up in the middle age I felt like I was living a lie And had to escape it all With mortal fears I shaved off the years And went from a walk to a crawl I know I'm reaping what I sown But I never thought I'd die alone I guess I signed up for this fate By sowing the seeds of hate And when I finally shook the phase I was lost and miles away Got to hard to turn around I'd left no bread crumbs on the ground I felt like I should have apologized But that was so overdue And by your eyes, knew I was despised I guess I was afraid of you I know I'm reaping what I've sown But I never thought I'd die alone I guess I signed up for this fate By sowing the seeds of hate So please believe this will that you read That I thought of you everyday I grant to you my hollow legacy Please don't live your life this way I know I'm reaping what I've sown But I never thought I'd die alone I guess I signed up for this fate By sowing the seeds of hate |

A face with no emotion Lost in the television's glow He's slipping into darkness Not far from comatose With a bottle in his left hand A cigarette in his right He's drowning out the echo Of voices in the night Through the conversation The old me drifts away Hiding from the moment I long for yesterday I hear your voice so distant Calling out my name If only I could answer If we were still the samea| Oh, but we've changed So what am I supposed to do And what am I to say? I feel a bit more paralyzed With every word you say And what about the change you want How can I succumb? When everything you want to do Leaves me awfully numb Awfully numb Stay for a moment Stay for while Join in on this masquerade Filled with regret and denial We are kindred spirits, Though parallel lines Running off in different directions Never to entwine No way to rewind We can't turn back time So we avoid the subject Our communication strained Sheltered in the small talk We wait for the other to change But the song remains the samea| So what am I supposed to do And what am I to say? I feel a bit more paralyzed With every word you say And what about the change you want How can I succumb When everything you want to do Leaves me awfully numb Awfully numb A face with no emotion Lost in the television's glow He's slipping into darkness Not far from comatose |

The gray light of the morning, the blue-green of the sea A leaf splashed with color, falling from a tree The sparkle in a diamond, the fire of the sun They all seemed much brighter, am I the only one To see them slowly slip away Something changes a little, day by day Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed A lesson in mortality, eventually, every color fades The blush of a woman, the wamth of a touch The novelty of love, feelings within my clutch I try to savor but it doesn't taste the same Senses numbed and jaded a little day by day Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed A lesson in mortality, eventually, every color... ...fades away slowly but surely as if it were the setting sun A child comes of age, gains life experience Time gathers innocence and trades it in for wisdom Like walking through the snow its purity is stained Like a shooting star across the sky never meant to remain... Gazing at a rainbow, a brilliant vast array Staggered by it's beauty, saddened by it's modest stay Taken all for granted or innocence betrayed A lesson in mortality, eventually, every color fades |

I look into a sea of blue in your eyes
And see a full and swollen moon Resplendent in a stormy sky I look through your gaze, its source is pure and uncorrupted And see a wilderness of dunes, untouched,uninterrupted Pessimis protects me Limp hope won't let me down Still i lust for the pure It unties the knots and turns me around I swear,I won't unravel this time... I banish "too good to be true" from my mind I'm steeled in my resolve by this gem I never thought I'd find The echoes of your laughter fall upon me,like the calming rain They intimate a surreal world,smooth-surfaced and free of stain Pessimis protects me Limp hope won't let me down Still i lust for the pure It unties the knots and turns me around I swear,I won't unravel this time... Your gaze's source is uncorrupted...Pure Dunes untouched,uninterrupted...Pure I'm steeled in my resolve by this gem I never thought I'd find Echoes of your laughter falling down on me Like the calming rain... Pessimis protects me Limp hope won't let me down Still i lust for the pure It unties the knots and turns me around I swear,I won't unravel this time...

You won't hear me laugh,you won't hear me cry
You won't even hear what I'm thinking I can't even speak ,I'm too weak to try Surprised I'm even still breathing Like winter's icy touch ,I'm... Cold,so cold,from the surface of skin, to the depths of my soul Cold,so cold,my temperature feels one hundred below My being is numb,but I strain to fell A heart that's become black and rotten You don't care to look,you don't care to see This man that love has forgotten Asking for nothing ,yet wanting so much Longing for one thing, the warmth of a touch I'm... Cold,so cold,I shiver and shake chilled,to the bone Cold,so cold, I've made my bed with a blanket of snow Cold,so cold,from the surface of skin, to the depths of my soul Cold,so cold,my temperature feels one hundred below,below zero I can't seem to move, I can't seem to think I'm not sure my heart is still beating As life from me ,flows, my spirit will go And haunt this world that I'm leaving Offering nothing yet taking so much Regretting not sharing the warmth of a touch If I could just do it all again,I'd change my ways and would not be so Cold,so cold,I shiver and shake chilled,to the bone Cold,so cold, I've made my bed with a blanket of snow Cold,so cold,from the surface of skin, to the depths of my soul Cold,so cold,my temperature feels one hundred below,below zero [Music and Lyrics: D.Ott] |

My destination is unknown
And i've lost my way But I still have water With my rations running low I am so fatigued Can I go much further? Lost and all alone In the blazing heat And it just gets hotter Sweat drips down my skin And string my eyes As I look toward the distance Blistered hands block the sun That blinds my sight And dances on the horizon Is there something up ahead? Or just a mirage Fooling me again Another dried up waterhole Lacking nourishment Quench my thirst and feed my mind The place that I seek is so far away And I don't know which way to go The vision I see is a holy place That is tranquil to the soul Just a nomad sailling across this earthly sea Searching on and on for sanctuary Weary from the chase of life's eluding dream Strive to reach that goal but it's never ending Raise my canteen to parched lips Taste the water so sweet Take one last swallow So many miles I have come So many more to go Down the path I follow Funny how we lose our way Through this desolate land Lives are grains of sand Which way will the wind blow? Sifting through our hands To fall wherever they may The place that I seek is so far away And I don't know which way to go The vision I see is a holy place That is tranquil to the soul (Music: D.Ott,P.Craddick) (Lyrics: D.Ott) |

I guess I knew this day would come When you would finally drop the bomb Conclusion long forgone But that you'd say it with a yawn Thought you'd stop Tempting fate Change your ways Now it's far too late I know it's strange Responding with disdain But when you're gone I'll still feel the pain Constantly you'd roll the dice To find your place in Neverland Mirage that easily enticed You into the sinking sand It wasn't that it could You said it so yourself It was only that it would You play the hand you're dealt You say you harbor no regret That love's a double-edged knife To feel its sting you're desperate To fee it deep you'd trade your life So again you roll the dice To find your place in Neverland Mirage that easily enticed You into the sinking sand It wasn't that it could You said it so yourself It was only that it would You play the hand you're dealt |

Hey, what do you want from me? As far as I can see There's really nothing you get for free Hey, are you dense or just unaware When you know the one that's there Could care less if you even breathed There's nothing up my sleeve Yet I'm the one deceived Swallow your pride and choke down the pills Keep it inside and drink to your fill You push it aside, still waiting For your ship to finally come ashore Just one more drop in the downpour to ignore I know there's a heavy cost If compromise isn't tossed Your dreams can be completely lost Still afraid of change And I'm the one to blame Swallow your pride and choke down the pills Keep it inside and drink to your fill You push it aside, still waiting For your ship to finally come ashore Just one more drop in the downpour to ignore You sit and sate out the window Searching for winds of change Meanwhile.the rest of the herd Has much greener grass on their range You hide in a chasm of pride Too proud to dig yourself out Heartache to the point where you break Wake up and scream and shout Hey, what do you believe? In dogma and chemistry Or a psychedelic philosophy? When damaging your soul You pay a heavy toll Swallow your pride and choke down the pills Keep it inside and drink to your fill You push it aside, still waiting For your ship to finally come ashore Just one more drop in the downpour to ignore Still you do nothing about it You're playing tug of war Still you do nothing about it. |

How did we come to this? When did we reach that fork in the road That carried us from our home? Where did we go wrong? How could we lose the words to our song When we were writing it all along? And how could something beautiful Turn into something ugly And change right before our eyes? And how could something wonderful Just fade away and slip into Something that we try to hide from? What we've become; a mere shadow of the lovers we used to be Don't you see? Where do we go from here? Can we reclaim all that we have lost And start all over again? Can we afford the cost? Should we risk the chance of losing it all Or walk away now as friends? And how does something beautiful Just fade into a memory Stored there for a rainy day? And how does something wonderful Get tossed aside or thrown away Like something that is broken or frayed? What a mess we've made Shards of our hearts, they splinter beneath our feet Yet we refuse to retreat So think about tomorrow And forgive all the wrongs of today We should know better than to Let our pride get in the way We can make it better We can save what we have If we try to rise above our faults We can make it beautiful Turn from something ugly And change right before our eyes And we could make it wonderful Just turn our backs on yesterday And focus on the love that we've made 'Cause we have something beautiful It's something that's invaluable, Like waking to a brand new day What we have is wonderful It's sublime, it's magical, divine, it's beautiful |

You love the righteousness you fell That no soul was lost to make your meal You challenge everyone's ideals But you're sure to let your won congeal Is just say. No one but my kind Has an open mind You're a friend of the just, of course If their agendas are just like yours The only cause you don't endorse Is just say. No one but my kind Has an open mind I question other's sanity While I'm handcuffed to evergreens But if your view opposed mine I'll flip you off and wave a sign How blessed to be adorned The queen of the informed You erupt that free to speak Interrupt when they don't agree The only cause that you don't believe Is just say. No one but my kind Has an open mind Your daddy drowned in tuition fees Your M.B.A. in T.H.C.. Your favorite text through all of that Was 'save a tree' on paperback How blessed to be adorned The queen of the informed If parity is what you need Then maybe it's time you breed And stop imposing what you believe On everyone around You erupt that free to speak Interrupt when they don't agree The only cause that you don't believe Is just say. No one but my kind Has an open mind |

Forgot my alarm; I overslept again Had to shave in a hurry, almost cut off my chin Slipped in the bathtub.I think I broke I my neck My car's out of gas, I forgot to check Going nowhere fast What the heck! Sometimes it feels like I'm living in a movie Acting out a story that's not my own There's drama and action - and random acts of tragedy I don't want to be in this starring role I got to work late - my boss chewed me out Called me "irresponsible"; cleaned out my desk Stopped by the hospice said bye to a friend Found out I had cancer, only six months to live What's the joke? I give! Sometimes it feels like I'm living in a movie Acting out a story that's not my own There's drama and action - and random acts of tragedy I don't want to be in this starring role I can't believe it Bad things are always happening to me Serenity; achieve it Maybe it's not as bad as it seems Pulled over for speeding, I wasn't in the mood Got sprayed with mace; had a bad attitude Talked to my wife, she'd understand Said she was leaving, found another man How can this be? I don't understand! Sometimes it feels like I'm living in a movie Acting out a story that's not my own There's drama and action - and random acts of tragedy I don't want to be in this starring role |

Dark day in paradise Tantalized by my eyes mislead This one you've got to see And her gaze, it is set on me Not like I would push the brink But it sure makes me think Maybe I need a change Otherwise why would my eyes so stray A choice is taunting me And it knocks on my door today Not like any vows were bent Just a glance, it's innocent Long way down Don't you think you're too close to the edge Turn around Some wounds are so deep they'll never mend Take it from me it's never worth the cost Been down that road before And demise is surely where it leads The grass looks emerald green But believe me it's just the weeds Not like I have crossed the line Owed her a lunch and a valentine It's propagation man Don't you know that a guy has needs What separates us then >From those things that are scratching fleas? Am I just a sounding board Were you hoping for accord? Long way down Don't you think you're too close to the edge Turn around Some wounds are so deep they'll never mend Take it from me, it's never worth the cost I just cringe thinking what I could have lost It seems you're looking for Consent to do the same Where's you're memory Don't you remember me The weight of agony that crushed me flat Are you impervious or just too curious? Don't you remember what it did to the cat? Guess what I did today Now I fear there's no turning back Next time you need advice Check the zodiac Not like I didn't warn Buckle up, enjoy the storm Long way down Don't you think you're too close to the edge Turn around Some wounds are so deep they'll never mend What's it going to be, what's it going to be my friend |

Heard enough for today Guess I'll turn and walk away A leaf that's turned golden brown The slightest breeze will bring me down In safety mode system overload My soul is moved with just disdain But it's not my job to bring a change Is it all by design Or have we gone astray Didn't we miss a sign 'Cause this can't be the way Cynicism's a disease No one's got it worse than me Even if I raise my voice It's just gets lost in all the noise Are we over the line Or was it ever there Maybe I should resign To convince myself to care Can you feel (Or are you paralyzed?) Can it heal (Or will it spread to our eyes?) Are we blind (Or do we choose each day) To see no evil (To look the other way?) A generation born to bleed On the jagged edge of apathy And to stand aside and criticize Is the extent of my expertise After all that we've seen You'd think we'd want turnaround Instead we take each brush with fate And use it to paint the town Can you feel (Or are you paralyzed?) Can it heal (Or will it spread to our eyes?) Are we blind (Or do we choose each day) To see no evil (To look the other way?) |

Just another day,I go about my business
I start to shave in my ordinary way Nothing has changed, yet something is different Ah yes-- It's my birthday today My skin feels a little tighter The razor bites at my face What are those lines in the mirror? Can't seem to wipe them away And my vision is blurry, I don't know what it is And a blemish is swirling out from under my skin And there is far too much hair in ths sink today And what's left on my head has somehow turned to grey Like a picture in the sun,the colors start to fade Like broken glass upon the shore, the sharpness wears away My face bleeding, I drop the razor to the floor I try to catch it, but my hands do not obey me What is that pounding,is there someone at the door? It's just my heart,straining not to fail me My legs feel so heavy Each inch seems like a mile Muscles burn from the effort As I fall into denial And my speech is slurred, I don't know what it is And my arm is bruised from where I've touched my skin And there is something wrong with my mirror today It seems my eyes of blue has somehow turned to grey Just like a chameleon who changes his skin I went to sleep young and virile,woke up old,tired and thin Did I sleep through my life and waste away my youth? Or did time just pass by and I'm denying the truth? And my vision is blurry, I don't know what it is And a blemish is swirling out from under my skin And there is far too much hair in ths sink today And what's left on my head has somehow turned to grey And my speech is slurred, I don't know what it is And my arm is bruised from where I've touched my skin And there is something wrong with my mirror today It seems my eyes of blue has somehow turned to grey (Music: D.Ott,P.Craddick) (Lyrics: D.Ott) |

Pessimis protects me Limp hope won't let me down Still i lust for the pure It unties the knots and turns me around I swear,I won't unravel this time... [Music: P.Craddick,D.Ott] [Lyrics: P.Craddick] |

Not what I've done,not what I've spoken
Not what I've shown,not that I lied Just holding on would render me broken But weak as I am, my hands remain tied Fear of wrath,fear of pain Fear of facing what I am Fear this might leave a stain Of your blood on my hands My face is scarred,my hands unclean Can't wash away the fool I've been Murder one or suicide: Which would be the greater sin? Straining to hold each breath I'm taking A shackle that pulls,I can't set it free Not quite below,but slowly I'm breaking In saving you I would be killing me Fear of wind,fear of rain We built this house on shifting sand Fear this might leave a stain Of my own blood on my hands My face is scarred,my hands unclean Can't wash away the fool I've been Murder one or suicide: Which would be the greater sin? A wave that hits from behind me A weight that pulls from beneath A storm that blows all around me A fear inside that has bound me [Music: T.Leonard,D.Ott,P.Craddick] [Lyrics: T.Leonard] |

I sit in silence here alone
An agony I've made my own An empty chasm in the dark Is where I choose to hide my heart Something that I've lived with ,for so very long I've never had an interest ,in what's right or wrong Deviante, or so I'm told Villanous,or so extolled A heightned animosity Distorting everything I see This world has closed its doors to me Sat me in the balcony Now my only recompense: A gift I've honed to mastery Tainted eyes that strain to see I'm not in prision but,I'm never free A curse that somehow has followed me I;m not in prision,but I'm never free Looking out this dirty window From inside my trophy room Hostile world I've been bor into: Hostile world-- I've been consumed I'm the one you sat behind you The one you've choosen to neglect Now I've choosen to confront you You're the wrong I must correct Tainted eyes that strain to see I'm not in prision but,I'm never free A curse that somehow has followed me I'm not in prision,but I'm never free (Music: D.Ott,M.Geimer,E.Platt,P.Cradick) (Lyrics: T.Leonard) |

Standing looking in the mirror
Wondering who it is I see The face seems so familiar But it doesn't look like me Something is changing ,something's different A foreign look behind my stare I feel frantic, almost desperate He acts as if he doesn't care A smile cracks his face, a tear comes to my eye His laughter fills the room ,words echo in my mind Look away- (Don't look at me) Look away- (You won't like what you see) Look away- (Fear what's inside me) But I can't look away Fell the lock of tension closing As I slowly turn the key I sense joints lock into place Like cement setting in my veins Like an attic stored with memories,the contents are so rarely seen Look away- (Don't look at me) Look away- (You won't like what you see) Look away- (Fear what's inside me) But I can't look away A complex creature,I labor to see through the haze I strive to know myself,but I'm lost within the maze It's painful learning the truth about myself So I always look away Through the passage lies the answers,to the questions inside me So,tomorrow like today, I'll stare again,doing nothing [Music and Lyrics: D.Ott] |

Here I stand Beside you ,still I somehow stand apart
I'm burdened in my spirit,a stone is weighing down my heart I'm riddled in my depths by this half-heartedness Sundered from the "now" by self-protectiveness Look around in your heart Cut off from the moment Divested all the way No music in this silence No colour in this grey I'm rarely fully there,I cloak myself from harm's way An inmate of my own device who's blinded by the light of day Summon forth from your heart Cut off from the moment Divested all the way No music in this silence No colour in this grey This chasm I cannot bridge This hole I cannot fill with sand Summon forth,from your heart,the whole man Half-speed,half-there,thus I'm half-alive Un-veiled and un-guised then I'm genuine But why do I die just as I come alive? So used to this armour, and how it fits Cut off from the moment Divested all the way No music in this silence No colour in this grey This chasm I cannot bridge This hole I cannot fill with sand Summon forth,from your heart,the whole man (Music: P.Craddick,D.Ott) Lyrics:P.Craddick |

Standing alone in a crowded room ,he hears it
A voice so familiar,not unlike his own,he fears it His name being called out from across the room, but he can't see He's willingly blindfolded starting towards the voice,but each step leads Into a dance with a different stranger His purpose he quickly forgets Each dance delights till the song is through But the silence between the songs reminds him what he'd intended to Do But the voice-----It knows no time-----Waits patiently Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting jealously He moves towards the voice,more determined now but still can't see The music begins and he's pulled away again ,by flattery Just as with a drug the words purposely inoculate All puffed up,but silence,,when the music ends,quickly deflates Now the voice,though never changing, begins to sound to him like a Shriek He covers his ears with his hands Now deaf and blind, he wanders aimlessly Submerged in the darkness he's forgotten what he was to be But the voice-----It knows no time-----Waits jealously Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting patiently He cannot see the floor is wet, nor does he hear the strangers warn He slips onto his back and,lying paralyzed,he feels forlorn The music begins,and strangers whom he trusted leave him there Helpless and immoblile lying on the floor----and no one cares But the voice that once was distant sounds as thought it;s right next to His ear And no longer the shrieking does he hear The voice says "WALK" and,suddenly, he knew he would It says"REMOVE THE BLINDFOLD", suddenly he knew he always Could But the voice-----It knows no time-----Waits patiently Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting jealously But the voice-----It knows no time-----Waits jealously Can't record a wrong,his past it can't see And if it takes him forever,it'll still be there,waiting patiently (Music: D.Ott,P.Craddick) (Lyrics: T.Leonard) |

One who's scorched by the fire,I stand alone brazen-faced
Love's become an open fumace,my follies stoked the fireplace Blind to the peril around me,my resistance wearing thin I fell prey to the power of temptation,and the brand of infidelity kissed My skin With each kiss a heart breaking,with a touch her love dies for me Slowly desintegrates Blackned by coals of deception,I cry for redemption far too late Here today, gone tomorrow Trail of tears leads to sorrow Leads to sorrow Alone I wallow in my suffering So much regret behind my stare Is love lost or just misplaced? Can a heart broken be repaired? With each thought conscience burning,with a sign her love dies for me Cannot exonerate Eyes filled with discontent,I plead for forgiveness far too late Here today, gone tomorrow Trail of tears leads to sorrow No reprieve,despite your wishing Trust betrayed,now she's missing Her image you cannot replace Missing,you hope to reconcile,but you've lost face With each day soul searching,with the night I cry "Restore me,reverse this morose state Never again shall I falter,afford me this one mistake" Fear today,loathe tomorrow Trail of Tears leads to sorrow Dream of when you were kissing So aware of what you're missing (Music and Lyrics: D.Ott) |
