Pete Lesperance

You're the light shining on me
You've taken the darkness away
Now sun never leaves
And time marches on
To some other place
And left a hole in my heart
That'll never be replaced

It seems like everything I do
Will be reminding me of you

'Til the end of time
There was only you and me
You changed my life
Hold on to what we belive
That our love was meant to be
'Til the end of time
Every moment alone
I find it hard to breathe
Now time is the thorn inside of me
That won't ever leave

Now no matter what I do
Everything will remind me of you

I'm the king of all pretenders
The end all be all of fakes
I prey on the mindless
And I like it

Your defenses all surrender
My senses all awake
I kill 'em with kindness
And they buy it

Now I'm not one to seek redemption
The truth will set you free
Is all a mild deception
And you better believe
That I'm lying
Lying
Lie to everyone everyday

The bitter pill of ages
You swallow everyday
If feels so timeless
Don't fight it

Now I give you inhibitions
Take your innocence away
Without even trying
'Cause I can

Apologize for stupid old mistakes
Your only vice disappears without a trace

Your mystified
You can't relate
Your on your knees to follow the new faith

I'm starting my own religion
Demi Gods
They'll be none
After all demons fall we'll be done

Sink your teeth into the golden prey
You won't believe the souls we saved today

You won the prize
It's no debate
Your on your knees to follow the new faith

Like Jesus nailed to the cross
We're all hanging prey
To the demons that we face
'Til our dying day

Now how long can I suffer defeat
Like a dog that's been tied up and chained
In a world that needs someone to hate

Sometimes I wish I wasn't born
Sometimes I wish I were everything
That I thought I could be in my demented dreams
Sometimes I wish I wasn't born
Sometimes I wish I were everything
The perfect holy poster boy for vanity

How dignified we first fall into this maze
And it dulls the mind thinking of ways that I will sustain

They devour your piece of the dream
Like a cancer that's eating away
While the vultures fly in for the feast

It's only life
I remind myself each day
If only I could remember what I'm doing in a room
The walls are padded down with foam
Because it takes away the sound
And alters the voices that tell me to do
What I do
They're worried that I'll wanna kill
Without my pills
And they knew that I'd do
What I do
One more try
To step inside my brain
A constant fight
But I won't sleep till I can fool them
For hours they make me stare at blotches
I failed the grade
When I told them I was Jesus and I hear voices
That tell me to do what I do

Born so we could lay
In a burning bed of rusted nails
Now it's my cause to stay awake

Will human kind prevail
Over prophecies of godless rages
For a world that's gone astray

Save preaching better times
They're bitter lies
Hey I could always climb the gate

It's heaven I hold this time

The comet's on the way
On holy ground we'll walk with angels
I just hope it's not today

I find it hard to pray
With one foot in my mouth
And one in the grave
Well so much for staying sane

Climbed these walls
For hours that feel like days
From highs I fall
To watching the pain drying
The walls that I walked through
And the truth bent
To get to you
'Cause I need you
Where do I belong?
Won't get through all my bleak moods
Without you

My resolve
Is a tower that fails to break
Life's a bomb
That can blow you eight ways from Sunday
Blue surrounds me
Blue all around me
Only you can change the tides
Hoping you can decide our fate

Headlines detach us from the world
Throwing all compassion overboard
Like big flies circling the corpse
It's getting more disgraceful than before

What will we ride
When this horse dies
Will eat the shit and jump in

With both feet in the fire
Rubbing ignorance into our eyes
We're blind, so blind
To all the world's injustice
We're so blind

In their sick minds
They justify it all
Emotionally straying from the course
For the big prize
A hundred million whores
Raping all humanity and more

You hold tight onto the razor blade
It cut you down from grace
Now the model of disgrace

You've rolled dice
Consumed to hide your age
You're old meat at the plate
Now avoided like the plague

A swan dive into reality
A cold bite
You feel inside
The path you left behind

Never dies
In my heart it's all been wasted time
So I'll never mind
In my heart it's all been wasted time

You won't find a pool of sympathy
Jump in as you please
And be rid of your disease

Your whole life
Burning at the stake
And old pretending fake
I'm enjoying your mistake

I should apologize
For my new compromise
A temporary disease

Another dumb mistake
To think that you would change
Now I'm admitting defeat

Well I knew what this would mean
But still I let myself get back into it
It's time to turn around

If your not careful
She'll rip your heart out
And shove it in your mouth

Now I took all the blame
Off my little brain
And said 'the devil made me'
Put the turpentine
In her carafe of wine
And I got a reprieve

When the full moon's
On the horizon
Under dark cover of the night
Is when the voice inside
Overloads

Well it feeds on your
Inner vices
When your God won't
Show you the light

And the voice inside
Haunts your mind
No running away
No hope yet you pray
To end your sorrow
You're lying there safe
Then voices awake
You're destined to overload

With your heart and mind
Still colliding
There's a torture
You keep inside

Don't hear a word you say
It's not because my hearing's gone
You're a fly that won't go away
I must bee doing something wrong

I switched your pills
I cut your brakes
Loosened the wheels
On your rollerblades
All and all it's a miracle
That you're here
If you never go away
How can I miss you

You burn everything you make
Don't think my stomach's
Strong enough
So I'm gonna give you away
Now get my favorite sweater off

I even tried to forge and fake
A first class prize
In the "gone" sweepstakes
That won you a ticket to
Nowheresville overseas

You are the one
That I crave
Since you're gone
I count the days

'Till I'm warmer from your kiss
'cause I'm cold without your grace
I'm not falling on those blades
Like it's the first time

You came and wore me down
Leaving me in no doubt
Now we're up in the clouds
Living a charmed life

Since I've fallen
For your ways
I'm in
More than I can say

Everything is getting clearer
Than ever before
Paid for your fake tits
And your facelifts
Now you're giving me the door

As long as we're together
Well the least that you
Can do is pretend
You think that I would learn
Because you do it to me
Time and again
Now you
You ruined everyting
When I thought we had it all
You
You ruined everything
Leaving me to take the fall

Your lack of vision
Is my prison
Now it's time to take the wheel
Maybe unlikely and untimely
That I'm losing my appeal

You've been in love
For your whole life
You don't look back or pretend
Never think about the end
It's gonna be a long ride
Then you think of better days
And they're coming
Coming around your way

I'm holding on
To all I can
A falling star
Wondering where to land
I don't wanna leave it alone
I'll tell you this ain't over
And although I fear the unknown
I tell you this ain't over
It ain't over at all
Only one thing on my mind
Is to keep us from the edge
Maybe come down from the ledge
Let the sun
Shine as your guide
It will light you through the grays
And be sure you find your way

All I Want
(Hess/Lesperance)

Opened the door
To an ever changing time
Losing control
With no warning
No warning

So now you've come
To finally realize
This won't be done by morning
By morning

It's the end of the love
You're giving it up
The heartache won't let
You walk away
And the day's gonna come
You throw down your guns
You're saving it up
For another day
All I want is everything
I'll never get enough
What I want could never bring
All that I dream of
That day will come
When we are one

It's hard to ignore
What we've done to our lives
I'm keeping score
Now you own me
You own me

Got your hands tied, yet you're free
To take chances and to dream
Never sold out, never preached
Are you God's Child? Are you greed?

Wherever you go time follows
Heartache still reigning over you
Life's a snake, all full of teeth
That has swallowed me, yeah all of me

Ain't it funny how the highs and all the lows
Just outside your window?
Ain't never gonna change, so you better fly
Or you'll fade away?

Poisoned your mind to believe
That you won't find inner peace
On the dark side under siege
There's no view unless you lead

Wherever you go time follows
Heartache still reigning over you
Life's a snake, all full of teeth
That has swallowed me, yeah all of me

Ain't it funny how the highs and all the lows
Just outside your window?
Ain't never gonna change, so you better fly...?

Ain't it funny how the highs and all the lows
Just outside your window?
Ain't never gonna change, so you better fly
Or you'll fade away?

Wherever you go time follows
Heartache still reigning over you
Life's a snake, all full of teeth
That has swallowed me, yeah all of me

Ain't it funny how the highs and all the lows
Just outside your window?
Ain't never gonna change, so you better fly...?

Ain't it funny how the highs and all the lows
Just outside your window?
Ain't never gonna change, so you better fly
Or you'll fade away?

Just outside your window
Just outside your window
Just outside your window
Just outside your window
