I've lost my mind, my memory, my cause.. It used to be oh so easy to choose these things.. . I've lost my mind, my memory, my cause.. It used to be oh so easy to school these things..
I stand witness of destruction in the streets.. Blood shed in the city. Shots ring over seas.. I stand witness of a broken world, of a dying world. On it's way to self-destruction..
Sometimes it's hard to see good times ahead for you. With all this hate and greed getting in the way. You should come ride with me. I know a place for free.
Hey, listen friend, why don't you pull up a chair. I'll tell you a story about a boy in despair. It was a hot summer day, just like any in L.A.. . This boy went out with his friend.
Float a boat across the sea to islands in the sun. Take a plane across the world in miles you won't find. Someone who will love you quite as much as me.
This comes as no goddamn surprise. I have been failing all my life. I'm desperation personified. Another pill for restless mind. . Tell me how you hate it.
There is no reason to run anymore. No reason to hide away. Since He's come into my life. He's brought sunshine to my day. . I will let my light shine, no more shadows.
You've got to reach out and take it. Before it goes by too fast. They say that life is what you make it. I think we've made it at last. . (chorus). Some people say we're crazy but.
We don't have to say a word. Sometimes it's better when we don't. Apologizes aren't always heard. Sit beside me through the storm. The cloud above will take another form.
Let me go back. And do it all over again. What I know now. I wish I knew then. . There's a pain. That just will not die. . Let me hear you say, it's okay.
Never imagined that you'd be here again. Yet another season of doubt has set in. The warm September rains have gone, gone away. . The trust that you held in you heart isn't there.
Never imagined that you'd be here again. Yet another season of doubt has set in. The warm September rains have gone, gone away. . The trust that you held in you heart isn't there.
[Chorus]. I never want to be satisfied. Just when I thought I had everything it was a lie. For so long now I've been wasting time. Wasting time. . Winter, spring or summer, fall.
The light that strikes against itself is hard as stone. A dream too many full of memories not my own. They're only shadows, they'll disappear. Their only destination: anywhere but here.
Belly first, unrehearsed, Im thrown from all Ive known. A silhouette set among the. badlands paved with stone. Photographs, fingerprints, fragile refugee.
Sightless, he watches the columns collide. As he wanders the canyon relentlessly wide. Empires are burning, the rain cuts his skin. And in every direction the sound closes in.
If I won't live a lie it's in my self defense. That I remember hiding then. If I'm eroding all the innocence. Am I running rigid once again?. And he won't hear me now in the darkest hour.
Whenever I was silenced, when I was on my own. A brutal cold existence, I believed I was gone. Now I stand no longer nameless. Though I've lost more than I'll find.
Sooner or later. Ready or not. We find ourselves dissolved in soil. The big sleep state. I don't worry. When you got to go you got to go. But wouldn't it be nice to have a say.
Keep me sinking down. Keep me sinking down. I'll keep my head above water. Keep my feet on the ground. . Give me bread when I'm hungry. Give me bourbon when I'm dry.
