Well sometimes I live for myself
And sometimes I'm thinking of somebody else
I step on the lines, give good advice
And I challenge what I believe
I've broken a promise before
I've watched as my heart fell and broke on the floor
This is being alive, living a life
I'm feeling alive in a very good way...
The Way...
I like that I think that I'm good
That I always react with the choices I should
Sometimes I'm wrong, sometimes I'm wrong
And I'm sorry I can't always be
Exactly who I should've been
But I guess that the outcomes the same in the end
I cannot escape, cannot escape
Cannot escape in a very good way...
The Way...
I'm sorry for all that I've done
And I'm proud of the places I say that I'm from
I'm living a lie, living a lie
Living a lie tonight
I cannot escape what is real
I cannot deny how I feel
I cannot escape, I'm scared for my life
But I live everyday in a very good way...
The Way
The Way...
Come, meet me there
in the sky
search the stars
what we'll find
deep inside,
endless time
to ask a god
why we're . . .
here
we breath
can see
ourselves
why breezes blow
why we grow old
take,
me away
so far away
to any place
outer space
ask the earth
why we're . . .
here
we breath
can see
ourselves
why breezes blow
why we grow old
to face our destinies,
so find a soul and sell it cheap,
time's short and we're knee deep,
so face it, teach me to believe
or fake it, just assure me please
or fake it, just assure me please
or fake it, just assure me please.
here
we breath
can see
ourselves
why breezes blow
why we grow old
A Spanish cantina cervezas the end of the day
la camerara y me
los ojos del chica preciosa buscan a me
and she wants to escape
tell me where you want to go
ven con migo
I'm going nowhere
come with me
I'm going nowhere
come with me
No sé adónde, but baby we've got to have faith
that we'll find a place
where ever you want to is where I will take you today
she leans in to me
and whispers softly, her words are clear
te quiero mucho
I'm going nowhere
come with me
I'm going nowhere
come with me
No sé adónde, but baby we've got to have faith
that we'll find a place
There’s locks on the door
A cold stony floor
The walls closing in
The air getting thin
Am I gonna die
The end is in sight
So get up off the floor
Stand up and fight
Fight for your life
Do it for you lover
Swear you'll see her again
And promise not to let this be the end
Gather your strength
Defy all their ranks
The guard's gone away
And you've got a gun
I run and I shoot
I dodge and elude
Love can not lose
I'm coming to you
Fight for your life
Do it for you lover
Swear you'll see her again
And promise not to let this be the end
I've seen a coma of the trees
forgotten forlorn falling leaves
that seem content with atrophy
as seasons pass them by
I've felt a coma of the sun
the work from light of day undone
a cold wind blows the night's begun
as moments pass us by
wasted work, that's been put forth
blood and sweat to make once more
progress that's been made before
existence wanders by . . . . . . our lives
. . . . . . . . .
wake up and open your eyes
wake up you're starting anew
wake up and fade from your dreams
wake up rise to your fate
your fate your fate oh rise to your fate
your fate, your fate, oh rise to your fate
your fate, your fate, oh rise to your fate
your fate, your fate, oh rise to your feet
A small country chapel
that comes out at night
a garden of light
a house by its side
where impossible angles
of wood make the halls
the windows and walls
and shadows that crawl
I step through the door find my brothers within
silent and grim
they usher me in
I'm led to the room where our brother resides
suspended inside
by a rope drawn tight
left in his eyes
a fear from his life
and I wonder why
oh, outside the home
a shadow is shown
and I think it sees me
oh no
death aglow
black as night
cold as bone
I know
why you die alone
take your life
taint your soul
Then without thinking
a gun's in my hand
pointed at him
the trigger pulled in
one well-placed shot to his chest takes him down
he's dead on the ground
so I turn around
back through the house
find them all there
they've got to see this
but oh, where did he go
they all let me know
that he'll come again
oh no
death aglow
black as night
cold as bone
I know
why you die alone
take your life
taint your soul
oh no
look out below
here I come like a stone
oh no death aglow
black as night
cold as bone.
Starlight midnight moonlit seas
love and logic reasoning
love says that this
could be destiny
but she can't tell logic
why she believes
they've been distancing
neither one is listening
love hurts,
logic sees
a star-crossed
real life destiny
they sit close
in agony
one thinks
one dreams
desperately
her heart is emptying
he wants so bad to make believe
love hurts,
logic sees
a star-crossed
real life destiny
if the web that we've spun
of law comes undone
what would you let become
if you had a gun
and the foes of your sons stood
alone here with you
is vengeance the one
that answers to none
could you draw first cold blood
you can be your best
be better that this but
it wont be the end
it sits and persists
with each waking breath but you
can't let it win
so ball up your fists
give all you can give
will you stand up for this
I'm thinkin of a day
maybe somewhat far away
where the world I know and the ones I live sit 6 feet over me
but I cannot be afraid
at least that's what they say
so I stand up tall and strong and fierce to face my destiny
but I begin to run away
I'm searching for a place
a place I can escape
to hide inside and stay alive just to die another day
like me they're just like me
running, running
I'm thinkin of a girl
my only in the world
she's got a certain secret melody she sings that I adore
she says she's not afraid
but as her youth start to fade
I think her strength and faith will go and fear will take their place
but she swears that she's not afraid
what I want to evade
she hopes to embrace
but no matter how we think we've all got one foot in the grave
like me she's just like me
running, running
she must be just like me
running, running
I'm thinking of you
I'm thinking of you
cus you seem so sure and tried and true though your time is coming soon
the doctor's work is through
he's done all that he can do
he leaves the room and says to me I'll leave her here with you
her eyes shine as she says to me
I'm not afraid of the other side
my eyes will be opened wide
I'm not sure what's to come but if I can when I'm done I'll be waiting when you die.
There's murder in the streets from the wars of our countries
for all of our women and children to see
Their lives will go on like there is nothing wrong
while the secrets of leaders of nations go on and on...
The sickness of the world has infected our dreams
and our strengths and our faith and god-given beliefs
But we cannot fight, what we cannot see
we'll sit and we'll listen and try not to think...
Help me stop this, help me please
We're all dying, no one believes me
While children are dying and starving for food
we're breathing in air that our cities pollute
We'll search for the divine that our science disproves
we're stuck here we're trapped left with nowhere to move...
But Clarity comes for the prices we'll pay
while our logic and reason make consciences fade
But certainly someone will rise up to save us
we'll vote and elect, there's no one to change us...
Help me stop this, help me please
We're all dying, no one believes
Help me stop this, help me please
We're all dying, no one believes me
But no one believes me
But no one believes me
In a field off the highway upon the ground
Broken forgotten a naked clown
Left from the show the night before
Lost by the ones he once adored
Into the streets of endless crowds
The show must go on, for those who're around
He dances and plays, but nobody cheers
A clown on the streets, is not wanted here
Welcome to the city
Cold and stone, this cement circus
In between the buildings
He's small and frail and far from fitting . . .
Lines thick with people won't look at him
Then some that take pity throw quarters at him
He's scared and alone, he thinks of his home
Their hearts must be broke, they'll find him he knows
Welcome to the city
Cold and stone, this cement circus
In between the buildings
He's small and frail and far from fitting in
but on the fair grounds
spotlights shine, crowds applauding
tightrope strung, the trapeze swinging
a missing clown, but the show must go on
These roads take me places
Places I've been before
These roads take me places
Places I don't want to go
But all the sights
And all the songs
That her and I sang
For so long
Here, a nostalgic cross in the road
My old hometown
The places that we used to go
I go them alone now
Alone
Lives and places
I once knew their faces
But now they're
Strangers to me
Time replaces
The memories and places
And I'm just passing through
Here, a nostalgic cross in the road
My old hometown
The places that we used to go
I go them alone now
Alone
I'm moving on
I'm moving on
To a place that's better than this
I'm moving on now
I'm moving on now
I walk up her street to the house where we'd sleep
The moon shines to me, and the stars start to speak
The memories creep to the past, pulling me
It hurts bad, it hurts deep, comes in fast, hurt me sweet
It's Been. . .
Years since the day that she last went away
Though I know no one's there my soul wants to stay
But I can't turn away this is home I feel safe
This is not my place, another time another day
Was it love, that we used to breathe
Was it time, that's been stolen from me
At nights while I sleep, it plays back in my dreams
What she said to me, as I told her to leave
She said please don't make me go
I can change I want to stay at home
Was it love, that we used to breathe
Was it time, that's been stolen from me
Was it right, was this meant to be
Or is it light, that I'll never see again
She called me
told me she's sorry
I said it's me
that should be sorry
I'm so sorry
please come home to me
While she was driving
there was a tragedy
Now she's gone!
Was it love, that we used to breathe
Was it time, that's been stolen from me
Was it right, was this meant to be
Or is it light, that I'll never see again
