Open Hand

These Policies of lies,
Have brought us here tonight,
Dissatisfaction pulls you under,
So say all of your prayers,
Or whatever gets you there,
If we go down, we'll lose all our rights.

I'm the only one that's left behind,
Sit right down,
I'll only make you mine,

I do foolish things sometimes,
Like change this station,

No one will save your life,


So be prepared to die,
These politicians pull you under.
So say all of your prayers,
Or whatever gets you there,
If we go down, we'll lose all our rights.

(Live free or die!)
Now it's all been left behind for love.

She stares down empty streets and cries
How all her dreams have dried up and gone away and she feels...
One day her life might change its ways.
Until she hides what's deep inside.
Trying so hard not to expose her lies.
She's ready now.
I know she's down.
Her flame burns twice as bright,
But only half as long.
When she looks down inside,
She melts away to her song.

She stares down empty streets and cries
How all her dreams have dried up and gone away and she feels...
One day her life might change its ways.


Until she hides what's deep inside.
Trying so hard not to expose her lies.
She's ready now.
I know she's down.
Her flame burns twice as bright,
But only half as long.
When she looks down inside,
She melts away to her song.

Well I think it's fine,
Watching summer rain,
Taking a ride on a cosmic train
You've been killing time,
Wasting all your days,
But you can get what you want,
When you want it,
With your sexy ways.

Don't keep me waiting too long,
We're gonna to make it tonight,
You'll never bring me down,
And I'm feeling ok,
You'll never bring me down.

Well it's ok, and you're ok,
Cause I'm with you,
Well it's ok, and we're ok,
Cause I'm with you,
I'm feeling good when I'm rolling down the boulevard,
I'm feeling good when I got you there in my arms,
I'll never know what it takes for you to feel this free,
You never know all the feelings that you're giving to me.



We're gonna to make it tonight,
You'll never bring me down,
And I'm feeling ok,
You'll never bring me down,
Sometimes I want to go and run away,
But something about your love just makes me stay.

Oh well you're so sweet when you're talking to me,
Oh well you're so sweet when you're talking to me,
You don't know I know by now,
You don't know I know by now... by now.

We're going to make it tonight,
You'll never bring me down,
And I'm feeling ok,
You'll never bring me down,
(By now... by now...)

I feel like I've lost trust in everyone,
They say deception is the key.

I want to go with you now,
I need to step away,
That's if your going my way,
I've failed again but it's ok,
The situations upside down for me.

I feel like I've lost touch with everyone,
My perception is unclear,
I'll see if I can go with you again,
Things change, the old cliche,
"How's it going, same as yesterday",

I want to go with you now,
I need to step away,
That's if your going my way,
I've failed again but it's ok,
The situations upside down for me,



I feel so run down inside... I feel so run down.

I feel like I've lost trust in everyone,
They say deception is the key.

I want to go with you now,
I need to step away,
That's if your going my way,
I've failed again but it's ok,
The situations upside down for me.

should I save it up inside?
Oh man, I hope I have the time,
And I want to let you know how far I was willing to go.

This highway divides one more day,
They said it's suicide for me to run away,
How long will I survive,
I think to myself,
How far will this go,
Only they know,
One more day from suicide,
I don't buy this shit,
These situations arise but it's ok,
I see through jaded eyes,
Don't worry I'm on my way,
One fine day,


I will be back,
I'll return again,
One fine day,
I said: "Hey man, I'm on my way."
One fine day is all I need now.

We've been found out,
She's been left out, and she can't relate,
It doesn't matter what we say.

Cause I know we may fall down,
It's safe to lay down or run away,
She said for now that she will remain my if I stay.

She's losing out and I'm feeling so down,
And out with myslef,
It doesn't matter we will change.. our world.

We may fall down,
It's safe to lay down or run away,


She said for now that she will remain my if I stay.

You let me down,
But it's all right,
There is nothing left of what I used to be,
You let me down but i'ts all right,
I feel all right now,
You let me down but it's all right.

Your intentions are intriguing me,
Because you operate so stategically.

I don't want to break your heart because it's oh so wrong,
(Take no action)
I don't want to waste your love becase it feels so strong.

Can you feel my eyes on the back of you?
You've got me all tore up, ain't nothing I can do.

Gotta shove it down,
Got to wait it out,
It'll fade away.
Take no action.
Gotta shove it down,
Got to wait it out,
It'll fade away.


Take no action.
Gotta shove it down,
Got to wait it out,
It'll fade away.
Take no action.

I don't want to break your heart because it's oh so wrong,
(Take no action)
I don't want to waste your love becase it feels so strong.
(Take no action)

They will grab you with their open hands,
Reaching for a chance to expand their lies,
Keep your head down,
Mind yourself,
Make sure that you keep all your thoughts inside.
They speak their truth out telling lies,
Forcing us all down until we see their ways,
The sations on, let's prepare to operate,
Let's watch the world go up in flames.

Turn on ...Burn out.
Turned on ... Burned out.

Here they come,
They're rushing in now,
Here to save the day.
I gave them my precise location.
I hope they're on the way.

Why should I go on?

If I could find a cure for your disease,
I'd keep it to myself and oversleep.
And I would brush it slowly through your hair.
Don't despair,

And I could sell your manuscript away.
Shatter to the lowest bid today
Or toss it down the stairs into your yard, to discard.
You are not a mystery,
More a tragic comedy,
The next day you rise (x4)

Hold me down, I'm your clown.
You refuse to wear your crooked crown.

But when she cries at night,
Goals are in her sight,
But she won't set it out or get it done,
It just keeps her broken down


She's trapped inside tensions from her life,
She can't get around, get around,
I don't see you breaking down.
Not right...I'm right.

I don't see you breaking down,
Not right...I'm right,
The next day your rise (x4)

And I believe that the only reason I am still alive,
Without a doubt,
Is that I found a way out of this place.

So now the further on out I go,
How far only they know.

Will I ever be the same?
Will I be left out?
Am I ever coming down?


Closer to the sun,
Never to be found,
And I for one...
Hope I never come down.

This is the day
So you say you'll keep me from harm's way
You're not afraid to bleed,
You're not afraid to break
Nicotine and sleep bring you back to your feet
Can you keep your love beneath me?

And I say don't run away,
Cause I got roses in my hand

This is your day
So you say,
Take it on your way,
You're not afraid to bleed,
You're not afraid to break
As for me,
I never know what I need
Can you keep your love beneath me?



And I say don't run away,
Cause I got roses in my hand

I wish you'd stay
Why can't you try to understand?
Even though I should,
I don't
Even though we could,
We won't
She took my hand and said
"Let's go home"

We've been pinned down,
I've just shot my last round,
I want to run and hide,
It might save our lives,

Is this the way we will spend our last days?
If I have to die, just don't ask why.
I see right through you, your going down.
Nothing's in the way.
I don't need to see your face.
The writings on the wall,
my eyes wide open.

It will take some time for me to clear my mind.
There will come a day, it might be just fine.

Is this the way we will spend our last days?


If i have to die just don't ask why.
I see right through you your going down.
Nothings in the way,
I don't need to see your face,
The writings on the wall,
My eyes wide open,

Your life means so much can't you see?
So far when I feel let down your always there for me.
Your always there for me.

In this decision
I've come to notice
I've fallen out of line

With your permission
I want to ask you
Would you happen to have the time to fly?

Oh, here comes the flood
We will say goodbye to flesh and blood
If i die, the seas will silence, the day will turn to night
It'll be those who can't believe that you survived.

Your almost home

In this division
I've come to notice


I've fallen out of line

With your permission
I want to ask you
Would you happen to have the time to fly?

Lord, here comes the flood.
We will say goodbye to flesh and blood
If i die, the seas go silent, the day will turn to night
It'll be those who can't believe that you survived

Uh, can I play you, um, some of the new things
I've been through which I think, could be commercial

What's inside
What's inside of your eyes
I don't know now
I don't know
What you want
What's inside of your eyes
I can see right through them now

What's inside
What's inside of your mind
I don't know
I don't know
But stay down
I don't know now

In your eyes
In your eyes
See the light shine though them now
In your eyes
You act the same
We should get it down

See right through you (right now)
See right through you
I see right
see right through you
We should get it down
Take
In your eyes
In your eyes
See the light shine through.

For now I'll just push my feelings aside
Not to worry it'll be alright
Now I'll just rest from the world that it here
And what it has for me
For now I'll just push my feelings aside
Not to worry it'll be alright
Now I'll just rest from the world that it here
And what it has for me
I know what you want
I know what you need
But I can't give it
I can't give it
Yea, you walked away
Yea, now turn and look at me
That's okay I said it I'll say it again
You want it right now
Its alright I know everything's okay
While you're here with me
Yes I know it
So answer me right now
I'm so sorry
I'm so sorry
We'll find our own way out
So take my hand
Decide our own way
Just you and me now
Yes I know it, right now
Thats okay I said it I'll say it again
You want it right now
Its alright I know everything's okay
While you're here with me
Falling inside this time
Falling inside
You want it right now
Don't walk away
I'm here today
Falling inside this time
Falling inside
You want it right now
Don't walk away
But I'm here today
I know what you want

Yea, you walked away
Yea, now turn and look at me
That's okay I said it I'll say it again
You want it right now
Its alright I know everything's okay
While you're here with me

As I sit by myself, I've come from so, so far away
In such little time I have gained
My soul, my mind, I've tried so hard to find
Is this what I must do to get by and I ask myself why

Why don't you write?
Why don't you call me? I'll wait here
I'll find my way or will you help me
Help me share

Does she understand me, or listen to what I say
Turn her back on my dreams, watching, waiting
(No turning back)
Find my way out
(No turning back)
Turn your back on my dreams
So strong, so weak, rest on your choice
Is this what I must do

Decide, why, I know
Decide, why, I know
Decide, why, I know
(Yeah)

Why don't you write?
Why don't you call me? I'll wait here
I'll find my way or will you help me
Help me share

I'll find my way out, I'll find my way now, I'll wait here
I'll find my way out, I'll find my way now, I'll wait here
I'll find my way out, I'll find my way now, I'll wait here
...

you said you dont understand me
so why are you here
you wanted me to protect you now
while you turned away
you havent answered the question
of why you are here
you just left me waiting here
how long will you
keep me standing here
keep me standing here
by myself
how long will you
keep your feelings locked up inside
keep me standing here by myself
how long will you
i know its not
like your staying around
were are we now
i know its not
like your staying around

You want it,
You want it,
You need it,
You need it,

You need it,
You want it,
You learn.

You want it,
You want it,
You need it,
You need it,

You need it,
You want it,
You learn.

Said you want it all, So what now?
Said you want it all, I don't know,
Said you want it all,
I don't know this time,

I'm coming on down,
Falling again,
I'm waiting for you to follow,
Ending it there,



I'm waiting, I'm waiting,
So dont' keep me waiting again,
So don't keep me waiting again,
So don't keep me waiting again,

Said you want it all, So what now?
Said you want it all, I don't know,
Said you want it all,
I don't know this time,

Nothing in my way,
There's nothing in my way,
I'll drive this pain from everything [3x]
(Nothing, Nothing, Nothing)

Don't know when I'll get a chance to run,
Run again, I wanna run again,
Looking for the best way, the right way,
To fly again, I wanna fly again.

Since the day I left you there,
I lost my way,
Each time I close my eyes I think of you.

It's too late, too Late, too Late for me to say I'm sorry,
I'm sorry now,
Too late, too late, too late for me to call you mine.

Save the day,
this I know,
Why you go,
I'm feeling so low,
and I wanted to show,
That I changed,
So please don't go today.

I know, I know, I know
What was I thinking?
I'm so sorry that I lost it all again


I know I fucked it up this time
Just another chapter in this story of my life.

I know you don't care what I say,
Should I even try to make you listen,
I know when I miss time,
One more chapter in this story of my life.

Its too late, too late, too late,
For me to say I'm sorry,

I'm sorry

Let's just say now that I know when
I found you there right next to him
I found out why you lied
You said you loved me the other night

I walked in
I saw you sitting there
you looked at me
you know what i'm thinking
so don't say that I don't care

Let's just say now
that I'm not here
before myself he'd better say
in your eyes I have died
be on my own
live my own life

I know now that I'm ok
Take my life back today


I know now I'm on my way
this pain won't fall away
Far from you is where I'd rather be
is where I'd rather be
is where I'd rather be
is where I'd rather be
Far from you
Far from you

Let's just say now
that I'm not here
before myself he'd better say
in your eyes I have died
be on my own

I don't know now
its not the time, to talk about it
are you calling out this time?
you'll see tonight,
please leave on the light

Are we done this time?
am i this all right?
you let me down
i know right now
ive tried before to find a way

i know, im home
when i walk in and see your face
but now, youre gone,
and my life seems so out of place

why did i hide from you
from all the things you do
how can i last tomorrow
when i can't even go today?

Turned inside out,


You asked me why do i feel this way
So what now?
What's wrong?i know i feel the same
even i know can't you see
i know why youre not here with me

i know, im home
when i walk in and see your face
but now your gone and my life
seems so out of place

why did i hide from you
from all the things you do
how can i last tomorrow
when i can't even go today
today, i knew when i said goodbye

As we lie here in bed
Your eyes run right through me
Did you hear what I said
I'm falling
I'm falling down
Falling down
She said
And I thought that you would listen
We were not meant to end
I still dont know
What we always were
And I thought that you would give in
you told me love would never die
But you lied
You always lied
There was a time
I thought you were something
Something that I would never be
Now is the time
I know that you're nothing nothing
That I would want to be
Did you hear a thing I said?
Your eyes roll right through me
And I thought that you would listen
We were not meant to end
I still dont know
What we always were
And I thought that you would give in
You told me love would never die
But you lied
You always lied
There was a time
I knew you were something
Something that I would never be
Now is the time
I know that your nothing
Nothing that I would want to be
I feel like I am falling into my needs
I need for you to open your eyes
So give me one more try
I'll show you i can this time
To give my life
So give me one more try
So give me one more try
I feel the sun now
I feel the sun now
