Wretched Night
02:58
|
|||
|
There is no cause, which I can fight
No holy end, which means can buy
I am just man, my fear elects what's right
I'm torn with lust, to follow lies I like
Come lead your holy empire, bleed the darkness with the light
War for weary hearts and tortured minds
Don't leave the sinner empty, don't let your children die
I am lost but you are plenty, a saving day from wretched night
You speak close words, you call me king
Yet from myself I have no strength for my defense
I am hostile, I am no friend
Berate the ruler that controls my bitter end
Come lead your holy empire, bleed the darkness with the light
War for weary hearts and tortured minds
Don't leave the sinner empty, don't let your children die
I am lost but you are plenty, a saving day from wretched night
I am lost but you are plenty, a saving day from wretched night

Throw a Line
03:23
|

I lost my way, in the feeling, I've got today, and a million
And I'll let my guard down, one more time
I took the words way to serious, based on the way, that you told me
I made my mind up, and I drew a line
I lost my faith, to the heartache, I waged my love and my hope on a sign
And I'll lift my heart up one more time
I played charades and I guessed it, there is no peace in a restless design
We are all prisoners in our minds
I have a weakness for heart throb, for choking back tears
And God knows it, He is a sly one
And he knows the best way of getting me down
Maybe it Stockholm's or Lima, maybe it's just how you see it
Who's watching this drama, will the irony pay
I lost my faith, to the heartache, I waged my love and my hope on a sign
And I'll lift my heart up one more time
I played charades and I guessed it, there is no peace in a restless design
We are all prisoners in our minds
But I'll throw a line out, I'll toss a line out,
But I'll throw a line out, one more time

People Like Me
03:21
|
|||
|
Dreams split in the window, chins split on the wall
Hearts split in the households, that you've lived in before
Home goes where you want to, but people never let go
And people never recall, what change goes on in the soul
People like me need help, getting by, everyday little things trouble me
I don't need to know where it all goes
I just need to know what it all means
You've lost a sparkle in your eyeball
You've lost some tension in your seams
You're not familiar with my attitudes
You're not as relaxed as you used to be
It puts a dryness in my throat now, to think we've left the past behind
I'd hate to think that we have lost it all, I'd hate to think a part of us has died
People like me need help, getting by, everyday little things trouble me
I don't need to know where it all goes
I just need to know what it all means

Here on the Range
02:31
|
|||
|
Here on the range, we're a family a hopeless bunch
Home's long since changed, to a place we are aching in
What is this trend, leading us to pretend, what's the cost
Does this cycle depend on me
No place to rest, there is no place to conquer this pain
But the question is, are we lost or just loitering down by the bay
What is this trend, leading us to pretend, what's the cost
Does this cycle depend on me
Here in this house I'm a man
But out in the streets I'm just loneliness bothering most of my friends
Here at this cross once again
All of my triumphs and features lay waste in this this background of sin
Save me, oh my God you're a miracle in all of this, crazy
Here I am have all of me so I can have, all of you

Loving Half
03:32
|
|||
|
Kiss got misdirected and my heart has been affected
I never quite expected to be here tonight
I had some intention but no passion for deception
I can hardly say I tried to force my way
But you grabbed onto me like I was one in a great pile
Loneliness was pining, like the doorbell on the front porch and I replied
Come inside, there's n ot much that I can do, if only to remember you
Take my time, all that you can have of me
My loving half and my bitter spite
Whisked and wild stirring we are churning for relief
Working on the syndrome to redo what we believe is sinful
I am aching to relate in something deep and free
Take your filthy promises, let's break off fear and be
But you grabbed onto me like I was one in a great pile
Lonely in the void let's take a leap and be devoid
Of consequence that we have made up in our mind
Come inside, there's not much that I can do, if only to remember you
Take my time, all that you can have of me
My loving half and my bitter spite

Keep Your Gold
03:14
|
|||
|
Sometimes we need more than we realize
It's a cost of life, but we'll be alright
Sometimes we come out quite unsatisfied
When the fire dies, does the fire die
Woah, where do you keep your gold
Woah, where do you keep your gold
Sometimes we mean more than we'd like to try
It's a fight or flight, and it can kill the night
Sometimes we pull close and then death will strike
At your highest height, you're gonna douse the light
Woah, where do you keep your gold
Woah, where do you keep your gold
Falling down the stairs, lost in the heavenlies
Hanging on the air, will you catch me
Don't you know where you headed to now
It's a long fall from the top to the bottom
Better grab your coat if you're staying for the winter
Headed to the other man

His Presence
04:26
|
|||
|
It's like coming home to you, you are coming home to me
It's a place I recognize, in your presence where I sleep
Grab hold of me, I have a hold on you
All that I see, you come through, woah
I rise in the morning, I need you, you need me
When I lay in the evening, I need you, you need me
All my hope is coming true, all my troubles come to peace
Yours is a face I had in mind, and in my heart I have belief
Faith wins my heart, that I can trust in you
No place is dark, when you are near, that much is true

Own Two Hands
02:56
|
|||
|
Weren't we always looking for each other
What are we looking for today
I think we're looking for ourselves
And like before, we blame ourselves
I'm held back by my own two hands
That hinder my heart
Choke me down it cries, choke my love inside
We like our freedom we've agreed
But the tone leaves loads of emptiness
I would like to see who I will be in twenty years
But there's pain in all this loneliness
I'm held back by my own two hands
That hinder my heart, choke me down it cries
I'm held back by my own two hands
That hinder my heart
Choke me down it cries, choke my love inside, choke my love inside

At All Times
03:03

I'm a fool, I guess I always have been
I've had clues, I'm feeling like there has been
The night is blue, I pass over the weekend
Like old news, my heart is slowly weakend
I'm not washed, I'm not clean, I'm not fair, I'm not weaned
I'm not clear, I'm not lean, I'm just wasting away
I don't care, but I'm not mean, I don't think that these things matter really
I'm not sure but I'll always feel, seven feet from the cross at all times
I watch the fan, spin out on the ceiling
I feel the power, inside of me receding
All this guilt, that's gathered in this feeling
Weighing down, and breaking through my flooring
I'm not washed, I'm not clean, I'm not fair, I'm not weaned
I'm not clear, I'm not lean, I'm just wasting away
I don't care, but I'm not mean, I don't think that these things matter really
I'm not sure but I'll always feel, seven feet from the cross at all times
We are always running from the light
We are always searching for a cure to the hurt inside
Damn these lies, damn these lies

This Dark Wall
02:52
|
|||
|
All of us, are trapped in this illusion
All that we can try to do is prove it
Constantly requesting that we lose it
But nothing that I say is getting through
What is this dark wall, why can't they hear me
I hate to see friends fall, through like we are
Totally alone how did you make it
Taking on the weight of our remaking
We make talk with our souls, you flock me to the gate
I knock you open the door, I fight from a different place
What is this dark wall, why can't they hear me
I hate to see friends fall, through like we are
