Warm ocean. My feet in the sand. Swirling motion. Round salty water. . Tonight I'll save you. . [Chorus:]. Shells and butterflies. .... Feel the ocean.
I sleep on a thin drowning rope. To burn inside the fragile sea. I saw you fall many days. My nights were cruel - windless boughs. To you I wrote fevered rhymes.
Cold wind blows through the snow. ice is freezin' there - so cold. when I look into your eyes. darkness I can find. . When I watch the time passing by.
I found you falling into old routines,. As you layed the final straw across my back.. Familiar with the ending,. The sickening returns,. And I've come to find out the equation stays the same..
My pain is never ending. I feel it grow inside. Frustration overwhelms me. There's no place left to hide. . My mind is always racing. These things can't stay the same.
I know you wish you were dreaming.. The silence is keeping you awake.. Staring outward past your ceiling, and pushing aimless. thoughts away.. There's no resolution when the day is over,.
Meant to refuse,. but just smash the whole gate down.. Tried for the truth,. but just, lied when it really mattered.. . Anywhere,. that your going.. Anytime,.
I remember when I was just fifteen. I moved to L.A. with my rock and roll big dreams. They said, "Good luck, it's tougher than it seems. So step up or go home".
You got me all bent out of shape. With all your hurry up and wait. And I dont know what to believe. When you say its just me. Thats what you say. . I should cry but you were thinking weak.
I don't know how to get through this.. I don't know what I keep to hid.. I've been running away, but I'm tired of being on the run.. I see my face in a tombstone..
First child and a showbiz son. Always hide where you come from. Mother got out of rehab and I was born. I was starstruck when I was young. . It's never too soon to tread the boards.
Can't put my finger on what's changed. To my surprise I found everything the same. In a house that's not quite home. Nothing was missing but something had gone.
For my bride. Thought my life. would be right. Took her bowling. got her high. Got myself a showgirl bride. Took a job on the side. In a health shop. keeps me well.
I am waiting for a man. To collect me from the station. He will drive me past your house. And the bridge and the precinct. . Later on he'll stuff my mouth.
Saturated with sex stereotypes gender roles reinforce inferiority. Exploiting anatomy, exploiting sexuality, preying on insecurities. Force fed proper mannerisms, treated different from the date of birth.
Interrogated for sharing revolutionary thoughts. Imprisoned for having revolutionary thoughts. Secret police, secret army. Orders of murder given by political leaders.
Playing your game / your mother substitute. She is she / That you never screwed. Playing your game / Her life revolves round and round you. A total investment / Can't afford to love.
Anywhere you go, anyone you meet. Remember that your eyes can be your enemy. I said well hell is so close and heaven's out of reach. But I ain't giving up quite yet, I've got too much to lose.
When she's sleeping on the sofa. When she's laying in her Sunday best. When she's turning over Friday. I could swear I'm sleeping less and less.. And the ocean's getting warmer.
You meet me at the water. Where all your dreams come true. Tell your sisters and your brother. But I'll be waiting for you. . Heaven now that this is over.
