A Pain That I'm Used To
|
|
I'm not sure What I'm looking for anymore I just know That I'm harder to console I don't see who I'm trying to be Instead of me But the key Is a question of control Can you say What you're trying to play anyway I just pay While you're breaking all the rules All the signs that I find Have been underlined Devils thrive on the drive That is fuelled All this running around Well it's getting me down Just give me a pain that I'm used to I don't need to believe All the dreams you conceive You just need to achieve Something that rings true There's a hole in your soul Like an animal With no conscience Repentance unkown Close your eyes Pay the price for your paradise Devils feed on the seeds That are sown Can't conceal what I feel What I know is real No mistaking the faking I care With a prayer in the air I will leave it there On a note full of hope Not despair All this running around Well it's getting me down Just give me a pain that I'm used to I don't need to believe All the dreams you conceive You just need to achieve Something that rings true |

John the Revelator
|
|
John the Revelator Put him in an elevator Take him up to the highest high Take him up to the top Where the mountains stop Let him tell his book of lies John the Revelator He's a smooth operator It's time we cut him down to size Take him by the hand And put him on the stand Let us hear his alibis By claiming God As his only right He's stealing a god From the Israelites Stealing a god From a Muslim, too There is only one god through and through Seven lies, mulitplied by seven, Multiplied by seven again Seven angels with seven trumpets Send them home on the morning train Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator! All he ever gives us is pain Well who's that shouting? John the Revelator! He should bow his head in shame By and by By and by By and by By and by |

Suffer Well
|
|
Where were you when I fell from grace Frozen heart, an empty space Something's changing, it's in your eyes Please don't speak, you'll only lie I found treasure not where I thought Peace of mind can't be bought Still I believe I just hang on Suffer well Sometimes it's hard It's hard to tell An angel led me when I was blind I said take me back, I've changed my mind Now I believe From the blackest room, I was torn He called my name, a love was born So I believe I just hang on Suffer well Sometimes it's hard It's hard to tell I just hang on Suffer well Sometimes it's hard So hard to tell |

The Sinner in Me
|
|
If I could just hide The sinner inside And keep him denied How sweet life would be If I could be free From the sinner in me I'll never be a saint That's not a picture that your memory paints Not renowned for my patience I'm not renowned for my restraint But you're always around You can always be found To pick me up when I'm on the ground If I could just hide The sinner inside And keep him denied How sweet life would be If I could be free From the sinner in me I'm still recovering Still getting over all the suffering More known for my anger Than for any other thing But you've always tried To be by my side And catch my fall when I start to slide If I could just hide The sinner inside And keep him denied How sweet life would be If I could be free From the sinner in me |

Precious
|
|
Precious and fragile things Need special handling My God what have we done to you We always tried to share The tenderest of care Now look what we have put you through Things get damaged Things get broken I thought we'd managed But words left unspoken Left us so brittle There was so little left to give Angels with silver wings Shouldn't know suffering I wish I could take the pain for you If God has a master plan That only he understands I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through Things get damaged Things get broken I thought we'd managed But words left unspoken Left us so brittle There was so little left to give I pray you'll learn to trust Have faith in both of us And keep room in your hearts for two Things get damaged Things get broken I thought we'd managed But words left unspoken Left us so brittle |

Macro
|
|
Overflowing senses Heightened awareness I hear my blood flow I feel its caress Whispering cosmos Talking right to me Unlimited, endless God breathing through me See the microcosm In macrovision Our bodies moving With pure precision One universal Celebration One evolution One creation Thundering rhythm Pounding within me Driving me onwards Forcing me to see Clear and enlightening Right there before me Brilliantly shining Intricate beauty See the microcosm In macrovision Our bodies moving With pure precision One universal Celebration One evolution One creation |

I Want It All
|
|
I see a river It's oceans that I want You have to give me everything Everything's not enough It's my desire To give myself to you Sometimes Sometimes I try Sometimes I lie, with you Sometimes I cry Sometimes I die, it's true Somewhere I find Something that's kind And I've crossed the line again A line I drew in sand Still you give me everything And everything's not enough I'm ready but not willing To give myself to you Sometimes Sometimes I try Sometimes I lie, with you Sometimes I cry Sometimes I die, it's true Somewhere I find Something that's kind Come on over Lay down beside me And I'll try Come on over Lay down beside me And I'll try And I'll try I want it all |

Nothing's Impossible
|
|
Just give me a reason, some kind of sign I'll need a miracle to help me this time I heard what you said, and I feel the same I know in my heart that I'll have to change Even the stars look brighter tonight Nothing's impossible I still believe in love at first sight Nothing's impossible How did we get to be this far apart? How did we get to be this far apart? I want to be with you, something to share I want to be near you, sometimes I care Even the stars look brighter tonight Nothing's impossible I still believe in love at first sight Nothing's impossible Even the stars look brighter tonight Nothing's impossible If you believe in love at first sight Nothing's impossible I still believe in love at first sight Nothing's impossible |

Damaged People
|
|
We're damaged people Drawn together By subtleties that we are not aware of Disturbed souls Playing out forever These games that we once thought we would be scared of When you're in my arms The world makes sense There is no pretense And you're crying When you're by my side There is no defense I forget to sense I'm dying We're damaged people Praying for something That doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us Depraved souls Trusting in the one thing The one thing that this life has not denied us When I feel the warmth Of your very soul I forget I'm cold And crying When your lips touch mine And I lose control I forget I'm old And dying |

Lilian

Oh, Lilian Look what you've done You've stripped my heart Ripped it apart In the name of fun Oh, Lilian I'm a poor man's son And precious jewels Weren't found in schools Where I came from Pain and misery always hit the spot Knowing you can't lose what you haven't got Oh, Lilian I should have run I should have known Each dress you own Is a loaded gun Oh, Lilian Oh, Lilian I need protection I hear your voice And any choice I had is gone Oh, Lilian Once I begun I couldn't stop Till every drop of blood was sung Pain and misery always hit the spot Knowing you can't lose what you haven't got Oh, Lllian Look what you've done You stripped my heart Ripped it apart In the name of fun Oh, Lilian Oh, Lilian Oh, Lilian Oh, Lilian |

The Darkest Star

|
Oh you sad one Playing the Angel Isn't so easy where you're from Oh you wild one Devil's companion You won't stay satisfied for long I don't want you to change anything you do I don't want you to be something else for me Oh you dark one Eternal outsider Caught in the spider's web you've spun Oh you blind one Gentle and kind one Seeing the world as a loaded gun I don't want you to change anything you do I don't want you to be someone else for me Stay as you are the darkest star Shining for me Majestically I don't want you to change anything you do I don't want you to be someone else for me |
