CROSS
Crossed a sea of crippling pain
Seen a world go up in flame
Found another chance to change
Hard to find enough forgiveness
Strength to overcome my weakness
Find another chance to change
Stripped of everything I've
loved
Fell so deep to rise above this
The only truth I've left to feel
(Is here in my hand)
Here on my knees
A cross is born
A face is shown
The one you own
Now I know it's no illusion
Every form has followed feeling
With every cause there is effect
But I haven't known these
things are me
I've looked away and not believed it
The only truth I've left to see
(Is here in my hand)
Here on my knees
A cross is born
A face is shown
The one you own
Down on my knees
My cross is born
My faith is weak
But my heart is strong
Found another
chance to change
You're not alone
You're gonna find it
The one you own
Only the wheel knows
You're not alone
When your heart is strong
CRASH THE WALL
Still
holding out
Can't say for how long
Took the long way home
Does it mean that I'm gone?
Take your pride
Be the last to fall
Close your eyes boy
Gonna crash the wall
Fist full on bones
Told the stories end, shhh
Cause the devil's still listening
Been to heaven once
Can't get back again
Take your pride
Be the last to fall
Close your eyes boy
Gonna crash the wall
You're right on time
Owner, it's over
You and I ain't the same
Don't want your brain
You and I ain't the same
Still holding on
Has it set you free?
Is this life you own
What you want it to be?
And will your pride
Be the last to fall
Close your eyes boy
Gonna crash the wall
Take your pride
Be the last to fall
Close your eyes boy
Gonna crash the wall
SURE WAS A WILDFLOWER
Our great
escape
Sure was a mess
I gave away
Your tenderness
But I couldn't miss
Your one last kiss
Sure was a wildflower
Still living on
Sixth sense and ten cents
Sure was a wildflower
Some saving grace
Why so affected
Body ache
My mistake
Sure was a wildflower
Still living on
Sixth sense and ten cents
Sure was a wildflower
It's raining in Peru
And I wake up screaming
Cause I can't let go
In my anger
Hey girl
It's light out already
There's something here
In my way
I follow you tied in two
Sure was a wildflower
Still living on
Sixth sense and ten cents
Sure was a wildflower
It's raining in Peru
And I wake up screaming
Cause I can't let go
In my anger
Hey girl
It's light out already
TWO LOVERS STAND
Endlessly
I gaze through the window pane
My loneliness is lost somewhere between the pleasure and the pain
And I try to believe time will tell
While you remain frozen between your honor and emotion
And here two lovers stand
Caught between the fire and the other side of make-believe
Too afraid of letting go for fear the honesty will show
And here two lovers stand
Resisting the compromise you feel it denies you
A long awaited freedom
But there's one thing you
forget
unless you haven't noticed yet
I'm just as scared as you and
I can't escape both points of view
And here two lovers stand
Caught between the fire
and the other side of make-believe
Though you try to hide behind a stare
I know that you're in there
And here to lovers stand
I know why you're asking
yourself if
I really mean everything I say
Or will I just turn and walk away
But how would you defend the
felling that
I believe in the light that you're shining on me
and the silent affection hiding in this helpless separation
And here two lovers stand
Caught between the fire
and the other side of make-believe
Too afraid of letting go
for fear the honesty will show
And here two lovers stand
And here two lovers stand
Caught between the fire
and the other side of make-believe
LANDSLIDE
There's a
crack in the sky speaking to me
Is it a way out or some kind of trick?
I don't know who to trust or what to believe
Any rescue from here?
Five-ninths of life split off
from myself
Is it bad melodrama or some kind of joke
That I'm scribbling my brains in this letter to you
Any rescue?
Landslide inside my head
These eyes been so mislead
If I wake when I land could I
claw my way out
Dissident voices screaming in doubt
In my palm you can read what I'm asking myself
Is life easier to kill?
Landslide inside my head
These eyes been so mislead
Landslide here it comes again
Won't be long till I'm with Little Betty
There's a crack in the sky
speaking to me
Is my need to believe some kind of jinx
Still I pray for release
And life's spilling over
FASTER
Little
city carved a grave in the palm of her hand
Zig zag dirty mirrors in the back of her van
Feel the rush it's beginning to hit
Transamnesia, Hong Kong fever
She's gotta go faster
Once bitten twice shy hang on
if you can
Her brains like a raging hurricane
Transamnesia, Hong Kong fever
High end well-bred drive-in dreamer
Are you willing to play?
Well okay
Cause I just wanna taste it again
Tech head, brain dead
Roll the dice or get spoon fed
Hang on tight cause when I
Get to the bottom I go back
To the top and go FASTER
SONG
OF MIDNIGHT
Song of
midnight smoky sea
Native eyes can read
That the fire's sayin'
What the risk would be
What it meant to me
Tried only to pretend
Black eyes, sang a song of
midnight, her potion
Stone blind, tapestry of moonlight in motion
She filled the eastern sky
From inside of me
Dancing indigo
An ancient touch, I've felt before
In waves of vertigo
Until we meet again
Black eyes, sang a song of
midnight, her potion
Stone blind, tapestry of moonlight in motion
My secret room.... darkening
Eclipse my waking soul
Fuse the memory of our lost goodbye
To a story never told
Tried only to pretend
Black eyes, sang a song of
midnight, her potion
Stone blind, tapestry of moonlight in motion
Red sky, held the treat of sunrise confession
Black eyes, heart of my obsession
FREE (Instrumental)
ONLY ONE WORD
Where will
you go?
What will you see?
If I have to find you
Where would you be?
Did you decide this
from all the way down here?
A river of Novocain
could never ease the pain
that I'll never see you again
And I'm still so freaked
that we couldn't even speak
If only one, only one word
But no words were spoken
your body lay broken
If only one word
You taught me love
Saw it so clear
I took for granted
you'de always be near
I'd watch you light up
from all the way down here
I fell so dumb now
That I couldn't somehow
lift you up out of this
But the magic in me
so full of disease
It's one black kiss
A river of Novocain
could never ease the pain
That I'll never see you again
And I'm still so freaked
that we couldn't speak
If only one, only one word
So much to forgive
There's so much to forgive
BROKEN OPEN
I see a
ghost there
hangin' in mid air
Stirrin' the limbo
I see myself there
my road to nowhere
But I ain't begging' nothin''
from yesterday
Can't deny what I found on the other side
Cause I'm feeling how I've
broken open
Now I'm reeling in an endless ocean
No way for contact
This soul's been ransacked
Too out-of-body to know
So close to twilight
Still lost in search of flight
Blue sky or the same old bag
that caved in on me
Can't deny what I found on the other side
Cause I'm feeling how I've
broken open
Now I'm reeling in an endless ocean
Can you read me?
No, I ain't begging, nothin'
from yesterday
Can't deny what I found on the otherside
Cause I'm feeling how I've
broken open
Now I'm reeling in an endless ocean
Yeh, I'm feeling how I've broken open
Now I'm breathing, gonna keep on hoping
Can you read me?
RESURRECTION
Mix the
purple with the blue
Leave desire showing through
Half the time I just wanna be dead and done
There's a sound around me
All around me
Sound of a broken heart
Can I live if the girl is real
or is that just the way it goes?
After all that's been said and
done
All I know, I don't want to
dead and done
All I know, I don't want to be a setting sun
Find a way to paint to color in my heart
There's a sound around me
All around me
Sound of a broken heart
I'm a man, and I can't be sorry
for everything I've done
Oh, my resurrection
There's a sound
Sound of an open heart
Round and round
'till you hit ground and lose your faith
and down you go
You lie and cry and might try to make a break
it's all a show
You just can't hide from what's inside you're face to face
so now you know
Desert hill release the night
Changing shaped to meet the light
Draw a circle in the sand begin again
There's a sound around me
All around me
Sound of an open heart
I'm a man, and I can't be sorry for everything I've done
Oh, my resurrection
There's a sound
EVERYTHING YOU NEED
A life
spent searchin' for bridges
that cross through the pain of hollow places
When heart call you from out of the night
Now that loves found you, it
surrounds you
It's everything you need
There's nothing you can't do, it's always in you
As long as you believe
A life spent dry-eyed,
wondering who let you down
until you can just let it go
When heart comes to help you shine your own light
Now that loves found you, it
surrounds you
It's everything you need
There's nothing you can't do, it's always in you As long as you
believe
Life can turn you, even burn you,
if you look the other way
If the grass is greener read between
where the meaning got away
Now that loves found
you, it surrounds you
It's everthing you need
There's nothing you can't do, it's always in you
As long as you believe
