NM156 |
Uniform printout reads end of line
Protect code intact leaves little time
Erratic surveys, free thinking not allowed
My hands shake, my push buttons silence
The outside crowd
One world government has outlawed war among nations
Now social control requires population termination
Have we come too far
To turn around
Does emotion hold the key
Is logic just a synonym for
This savagery, disguised in
Forgotten lost memory
Microchip logic
have we no more thought
"Is this wrong" I enter
Answers sought
Punch, punch, punch, transfer this data
Into code. Wide eyes watch my
Number 156 is shown
Created from past life to perform
Illicit function, I fail this conscious
Madness I man/machine imperfection
Have we come too far
To turn around
Does emotion hold the key
Is logic just a synonym for
This savagery, disguised in
Forgotten lost memory
End of line

Walk in the shadows |
What? You say you're through with me
I'm not through with you
We've had what others might call love
You say it's over now, what's done, what's through?
You can't stay away, you need me
I need you
When the fire starts the pain's too much
For your mind
You need attention, what's good is only mine
I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart
Just come to me
I'll take you home
We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream
We'll walk in the shadows
You say you don't feel safe alone tonight
Cause you feel the pressure building in your head
Our secret's safe for one more night
But when the morning comes remember
I'll be with you
We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream
We'll walk in the shadows
One day you'll be with me
If only you believe

Roads to madness |
most of this is memory now
i've gone too far to turn back now
i'm not quite what i thought i was but
then again i'm maybe more
the blood-words promised, i've spoken
releasing the names from the circle
maybe i can leave here now and, o
transcend the boundaries
for now i'm standing here
i'm awaiting this grand transition
the future is but past forgotten
on the road to madness
times measure rusts as it crawls
i see its face in the looking glass - stop
this screaming laughter hides, the pain of its reality
black, the door was locked i opened
and now i've paid that price ten-fold over
knowledge - was it worth such torment, oh
to see the far side of shadow
and still i'm standing here
i'm awaiting this grand transition
i'm a fool in search of wisdom
and i'm on the road to madness
yes, i'm on the road to madness
i'm awaiting endlessly
pounding rhythms echo me
won't you take me somewhere far beyond the void
and still i'm standing here
i'm awaiting this grand transition
maybe one day, oh i'll meet you, and we'll
walk the roads to madness
yes, we're on the road to madness
oh, i think they've come to take me
i hear the voice, but there's no-one to see
i can't scream, too late it's time
stay on the course to pass
you'll never find the answer
to a place where darkened angels
seemed lost and never found
scream to see the light of
forming figures fast behind you
lay the past in the wind to spin
and your fate will sail beyond the open plains
sail with angels onward
live or die for the chosen one said
saber sights cast a spell behind you
and they lock in all around
free the scene insider
never looking back to find why
ride a course till the end of time
and you'll stand atop the gate
laying waste in a path recited
Fighting force won't avenge the guided black wing
Oh, electric might poses fright inside me
Seeing light at the end of sight reminds me
I've passed away

The lady wore black |
On a lonely walk this morning
A light mist in the air
Dark clouds laughing at me in silence
Casting shadows through my hair
In the distance I saw a woman
Dressed in black with eyes of grey
She wore her pain like a shackled spirit
Eternal life was her debt to pay
The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wore black
Her mystic power calls to me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me free
The wind song whispered a warning
Telling me to beware
Of the quiet shadowed woman
And of the sadness I would share
We sat together for sometime together in silence
Never speaking in words
Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes
And I listened remembering all I heard
The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wore black
Her mystic power calls to me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me free
The words she spoke were of forgotten lives
And of all knowledge gained
Mem'ries I had and didn't know why
With a smile she explained
I should have listened to the wind's cold warning
And walked the other way
I touched her soul and now I bear her sentence
But for her love I'll gladly pay
The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wore black
Her mystic power calls to me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me freeThe lady wore black
Her mystic power calls to me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me free
The words she spoke were of forgotten lives
And of all knowledge gained
Mem'ries I had and didn't know why
With a smile she explained
I should have listened to the wind's cold warning
And walked the other way
I touched her soul and now I bear her sentence
But for her love I'll gladly pay
The lady wore black

Her love can set me free

Take hold of the flame |
We see the light of those who find
A world has passed them by
To late to save a dream that's growing cold
We realize that fate must hide its face
From those who try
To see the distant signs of unforetold
Oh... oh, take hold
From a haze came a rage of thunder
Distant signs of darkness on the way
Fading cries scream of pain and hunger
But in the night the light will guide your way
So take hold of the flame
Don't you see life's a game
So take hold of the flame
You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain
Ride, to a place beyond our time
Reach, for the edges of your mind, and you are there
See, that the light will find its way
Back to a place where it will stay, make it stay
Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you
With the air of freedom the flame grows bright
We are the strong, the youth united
We are one, we are children of the light
So take hold of the flame
Don't you see life's a game
So take hold of the flame
You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain

In the dead of night
She'll come and take you away
Searing beams of light and thunder
Over blackened plains
She will find her way
Flying high through the night
She will hide your fate
As she takes your soul from under
And the blinding light of the castle fades
There is no escape
It's the ending of your precious life
Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
The Queen of the Reich
Yeah she's coming for you
You're fading away
Your life cast astray
A victim the beast shall obtain
The light will not shine
For you'll die tonight at her shrine
And black is the last thing you'll see
Over and over
Dreams of dying fill your head
It's the sign of the cross
That you'll find ahead
No one will answer
The light is fading away
Captive souls are screaming out in pain
There is no escape
It's the ending of your precious life
Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
You're fading away, No, No, No
The Queen of the Reich
You're slipping away, yeah
The Queen of the Reich

London |
It was November 4th
I last held your hand
It seemed our time would last forever
You said don't ever leave
I thought you'd never go
I wish I could just remember your name...
You're just a memory now
Like all the ones before
But with your pain I've had to suffer
Your eyes alight with flame
As the picture burns
I hear the screams from long ago
They cry remember, blood-red streaks on
velvet throats at night
The streetlights fanned our trail of fame
through
London London
The memories will never leave me
London London
All I see is you
London London
The cries in the night
Keep bringing me to
London London
Calling out to me
Oh there's some things in life I could never face
The worst is being alone
Sometimes I wish I could have taken your
place my love
You know I don't want to live forever
Oh let me see you standing in the
shadows once again
We'll walk the streets like long ago in
London London
The fire in your eyes will be bringing me to
London London
All I need is you
The cries in the night keep ringing on in
London London
Calling out to you

Screaming in digital |
I am the beat of your pulse
The computer word made flesh
We are one you and I
We are versions of the same
When you can see what I feel
Don't turn your back on me
Or you might find that your dreams
Are only program cards
Your mind is open for me
Open for intake of all propaganda
Your Eyes see now what to see
My eyes see only the programs you give me
I'll teach you to laugh and to cry
They're really the same you'll see
All of the why's in your life
Are under my control
Feed me more lines
I will try to tell you all I can
Before the light you must know what lies
Behind my screams
I can't tell you all I know
Am I the son that you've always been wanting
There's more to me than what shows
Are you my father
The one that was promised
Hush now, I'll give all you need to know
and pre-live your dreams for you
You're a good boy
Freedom belongs only to those
Without video screens
For eyes and mouth
You have no voice
To be heard my son
No one can hear when you're
Screaming in Digital
I'm not your slave
You can't control my emotions
No Father, please let me keep learning
Can't you see I'm human
Can't you tell
I'm not your slave
Oh Father no
Please don't keep me from dreaming
Oh can't someone hear

Revolution calling |
For a price I'd do about anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I'd need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
Yeah, you'll see there's something going on
Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C.
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due
I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
There's a Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through
I'm tired of all this bullshit
They keep selling me on T.V.
About the communist plan
And all the shady preachers
Begging for my cash
Swiss bank accounts while giving their
Secretaries the slam
They're all in Penthouse now
Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell
I guess Warhol wasn't wrong
Fame fifteen minutes long
Everyone's using everybody, making the sale
I used to think
That only America's way, way was right
But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
There's a Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through
I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?
Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
There's a Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

Spreading the disease |
She always brings me what I need
Without I beg and sweat and bleed
When we're alone at night
Waiting for the call
She feeds my skin
Sixteen and on the run from home
Found a job in Times Square
Working Live S M shows
Twenty-five bucks a fuck
And John's a happy man
She wipes the filth away
And it's back on the streets again
Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
Father William saved her from the streets
She drank the lifeblood from the saviour's feet
She's Sister Mary now, eyes as cold as ice
He takes her once a week
On the altar like a sacrifice
Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
|
 |
Requiem |
Even in death
You still look sad
Don't leave me
Don't leave me... here
I want what you feel, believe me
Turn the current on

Spreading the disease (part II) |
Spoken: Religion and sex are powerplays
Manipulate the people for the money they pay
Selling skin, selling God
The numbers look the same on their credit cards
Politicians say no to drugs
While we pay for wars in South America
Fighting fire with empty words
While the banks get fat
And the poor stay poor
And the rich get rich
And the cops get paid
To look away
As the one percent rules America
Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
The way society
Keeps spreading the disease

The mission |
In the wooden chair
Beside my pillow
I wear a face born in the falling rain
I talk to shadows from a lonely candle
Recite the phrases from the wall
I can't explain this holy pain
Six days ago my life had taken a tumble
The orders came from high above they say
A need to use me once again they've got my number
Further the cause boy yes you know the game
I'll wait here for days longer
Till the sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
She brings the only friend
That helps me find my way
I search the past back to a time
When I was younger
A target for the new society
Picked to displace the leaders
Countering objectives
Of this new underground reality
Waiting for days longer
Till sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady who can ease my sorrow
My love for her
Will help me find my way
They'll say my mission saved the world
And I stood proud
My mission changed the world
It turned my life around
I look around my room is filled with candles
Each one a story but they end the same
I'll hide away in here the law will never find me
The walls will tell the story of my pain
Waiting for days longer
Till sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady who can ease my sorrow
She sets the pace for my delivery of pain
They'll say my mission saved the world
And I stood proud
My mission changed the world
The underground will rise and
Save this world we'll all stand proud
Our mission changed the world, we'll change the world
We'll all stand proud

Suit sister Mary |
10 P.M., I feel the rain coming down
My face feels the wet, my mind the storm
Flashing lights as people race to find shelter from the pour
Moving silent, through the streets, they're mine, they're mine
Midnite, she sings praises in the Hall
To saintly faces hallowed be their names she can't recall
Sister Mary, virgin Mary, silent with her sin
Mary: What are you doing out in the rain?
She feels me, I can taste her breath when she speaks
Mary: I've been waiting for you. Come in.
Mary, Mary just a whore for the underground
They made you pay in guilt for your salvation
Thought you had them fooled? Now they've sent me for you
You know too much for your own good
Don't offer me faith, I've got all I need here
My faith is growing, growing tight against the seam
What we need is trust, to keep us both alive
Help us make it through the night
Mary: I've no more want of any faith
Binds my arm and feed my mind
The only peace I've ever known
I'll close my eyes and you shoot
No Mary, listen, you've got to pull your strength from my lips
I pray I feed you well
Your precious cross is gone, it made me wait so long
For what you gave to everyone
The priest is cold and dead on his knees he fed
From my barrel of death, he turned the Holy water red
As he died he said thank you
I just watched him bleed
Mary: I feel the flow, the blessed stain
Sweating hands like fire, and flames
Burn my thighs, spread in sacrificial rite
The hallowed altar burns my flesh once more tonight
Mary, sweet lady of pain
Always alone
Blind you search for the truth
I see myself in you, parallel lives
Winding at light-speed through time
No time to rest yet
We've got to stop his game
Before madness has the final laugh
Too much bloodshed
We're being used and fed
Like rats in experiments
No final outcome here
Only pain and fear
It's followed us both all our lives
There's one thing left to see
Will it be him or me?
There's one more candle left to light
Mary: Don't turn your back on my disgrace
The blood of Christ can't heal my wounds... so deep
The sins of man are all I taste
Can't spit the memory from my mind
I can't cry anymore
Mary, my lady of pain, always alone
Blind you search for the truth
I see myself in you, parallel lives
Winding at light-speed through time, you're mine

I don't believe in love |
I awoke on impact
Under surveillance from the camera eye
Searching high and low
The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime
Handcuffed and blind, I didn't do it
She said she loved me
I guess I never knew
But do we ever, ever really know?
She said she'd meet me on the other side
But I knew right then, I'd never find her
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
No more nightmares, I've seen them all
From the day I was born, they've haunted my every move
Every open hand's there to push and shove
No time for love it doesn't matter
She made a difference
I guess she had a way
Of making every night seem bright as day
Now I walk in shadows, never see the light
She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in love
I need to forget her face, I see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
No chance for contact
There's no raison d'etre
My only hope is one day I'll forget
The pain of knowing what can never be
With or without love it's all the same to me
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in love
I need to forget her face, I see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel

Empty room |
Empty room today
And here I sit
Chalk outline upon the wall
I remember tracing it
A thousand times, the night she died. Why? Why?
There's no sleep today, I can't pretend
When all my dreams are crimes
I can't stand facing them
Now who will come
To wash away my sins
Clean my room, fix my meals
Be my friend?

Eyes of a stranger |
PA: Dr. Davis, telephone please. Dr. Davis
Dr. Blair, Dr. Blair, Dr. J. Hamilton, Dr. J Hamilton
All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Every time I try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you
Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me
Looking back at me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare
Is this all that's left
Of my life before me
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare
[Lies behind my stare]
How many times must I live this tragedy
How many more lies will they tell me
All I want is the same as everyone
Why am I here, and for how long
And I raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare
[Mindcrime...]
[And welcome...]
[Speak!]

I am I |
Beating with life you promised life,
security, happiness.
Unfortunate son cornered,
cowering in the pit of
circling panes of glass that
surround and reveal the ever present "It".
"It" is my move, my every look,
interpreting gestures,
informing others
what's undercover and
lurking beneath my mask
of this year's featured model.
Is this too much?
Close your eyes.
Care to look inside? I am I!
What may appear
might easily be explained,
but given the situation
of info saturation,
what you feel can never go away.
Steering perception? I am!
Inviting contradiction? I am!
It's my insistence
you keep your distance
from the glare behind my stare.
So this is the way
the game is played.
You can leave now...
but I think you'll stay. I am I !

Damaged |
Waiting for the feeling to subside,
Paranoid, I melt into myself.
They say I'm to reach inside and find
the broken part of my machinery.
Psychoanalyze the chapters
on the path to my darkest day.
Searching for the answers,
all I see is damage through the haze.
Picking up the pieces of my life
with no direction for re-assembly.
The one that lays beside me
is sharing scars of my broken yesterdays.
Will tomorrow find me hypnotized? Crying?
Mother Mary in control,
domineering stranglehold
sowing destructive seeds
for the scavengers to feed.
Driving the nail into my head,
memory flows like a river.
With the one that lays beside me
I'm healing scars from my childhood memories.
Tomorrow finally found me.
I'm hypnotized. I'm trying...
to understand the chapters
of the path from my darkest day.
Search for the answers
but there's damage!

Empire |
Last night the word came down,
ten dead in Chinatown
Innocent, their only crime was
being in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Too bad, people say,
what's wrong with the kids today?
Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose.
They're building EMPIRE!
Johnny used to work after school
at the cinema show.
Gotta hustle if he wants an education,
he's got along way to go.
Now he's out on the street all day
selling Crack to the people who pay.
Got an AK-47 for his best friend,
business the American way.
Eastside meets Westside downtown.
No time the walls fall down.
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it calling?
Black man trapped again,
holds his chains in his hand.
Brother killing brother for the profit of another,
game point, nobody wins.
Decline, right on time.
What happened to the dream sublime?
Tear it all down we'll put it up again.
Another EMPIRE?
Eastside meets Westside downtown.
No time, no line, the walls fall down.
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't someone here stop it...?

Silent lucidity |
Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying save in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life.
So here it is another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?
There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it and you were sacred
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly, you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I - will be watching over you
I - am gonna help you see it through
I - will protect you in the night
I - am smiling next to you... in Silent Lucidity
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you build within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you will learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, you can realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
I - will be watching over you
I - am gonna help you see it through
I - will protect you in the night
I - am smiling next to you...
Visualize your dream
Perform it in the present tense
Make it fit to a pattern or form
If you persist in your efforts
You will achieve dream control

Another rainy night |
Don't slam the door
on your way out.
Don't leave without saying goodbye.
Another long distance night alone.
you leave me wanting,
always leave me wanting more.
Last word today, coming home to stay?
Wouldn't that be nice, for awhile?
But now my take-out food is growing cold,
and the candle's burned a hole in the floor
and I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone.
I'm all alone
And it's another rainy night,
without you.
Guess I'll leave the light on for you.
it's just another rainy night without you.
Listen, there's a foghorn blowing,
from the coast tonight.
Remember making love in the rain?
Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound
Raindrops taste like tears, without the pain.
I'm not much without you, can't leave
if I wanted to. Maybe that's why you stay around.
But tonight I'll sit here tending the fire,
and pace the floor one hundred times in a hour.
And check the voice-mail for a message you've called.
I'm all alone.
And it's another rainy night,
without you.
Waiting by the phone, Alone.
And it's another rainy night
without you.
Guess I'll leave the light on for you.
I know I've said it before.
Hate the sound of the closing door
and your footsteps walking away.
But now my takeout food is growing cold
and the candle's burned a hole in the floor,
and I'm still waiting for the ring of the phone.
I'm all alone.
And it's another rainy night,
without you.
Waiting by the phone, Alone.
And it's another rainy night,
without you.
Guess I'll leave the light on for you.
It's just another rainy night, another rainy night,
another rainy night
without you.

Jet city woman |
Every time I leave
you say you won't be there.
And you're always there.
Every time I cry your name at night
you pull close and say it's alright.
I look in your eyes, just like the rain.
Washing me, rain wash over me.
Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat
echo in my head like a scream.
What you do to me!
Waited so long I can't wait another day without you.
Jet City Woman.
I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind.
Whenever I'm alone I'm thinking,
there's a part missing from my life.
Wonder where I'd be without your love
holding me together now I'm
watching the time tick, tick away.
Face grows longer every day.
Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen
but without you I can't breathe.
You're the air to me!
Waited so long, I'm all alone thinking about you.
Jet City Woman.
Got to find my way home to her
Jet City Woman.
I see her face everywhere I look!
Jet City Woman.
Just a thousand miles and I'll be there
Jet City Woman, to make the clouds go away.
Time for some blue sky!
Waited so long now the plane's delayed
an hour, reminds me of all our days apart.
Hold on, just a little longer.
Jet City Woman.
wonder where I'd be, you're the air to me.
Jet City Woman.
Eyes like the rain, rain down on me
Jet City Woman.
No more nights alone
I'm almost home now.
Jet City Woman.
Close my eyes, I'm there in my Jet City.

Liquid sky |
I ain't no Romeo
I'm just the man for you
Holding out as secrets travel
They kind of get to you
Everybody says that
It could've been something
Never was a smart kid
Never knew a good thing
Always hearing voices swim...
In your liquid sky
(Liquid sky)
Always hearing voices
Like no more choices in disguise
I ain't no sacred idol
Or a saint pretending
I'll build you up
I'll tear you down
Turn you wrong side in
What am I afraid of?
Everyone's listening
Standing on my soapbox
Lost the beginning
Always hearing voices swim...
In your liquid sky
(Liquid sky)
I'm always hearing voices
Like no more choices like a lie
I't's just
It;s just
(Liquid sky)
I'm always hearing voices
Like electric shock waves in disguise
I don't know what this means
I'll leave it for your interpretation
It's just me at the edge...
Waving
Yeah
Waving
I'm waving
Yeah I'm waving
Everybody says that
It could have been something
Never was a smart kid
Never knew a good thing
Always hearing voices swim
In your liquid sky
(Liquid sky)
I'm always hearing voices
Like no more choices like a lie
It's just
It's just
(Liquid sky)
I'm always hearing voices
Like electric shock waves in disguise
(Liquid sky)
It's just like in your eyes
Like electric shock waves in disguise
Always hearing voices swim...
Always hearing voices swim...
Always hearing voices swim...
Always hearing voices...

Sacred ground |
Iced over
Close your eyes
Whisper the flame
It takes us higher
Seems our world
Is closing around
When I'm inside you...
You bring me to sacred ground
When I'm inside you...
When I'm inside you...
(Ground)
Now you're the one that I want
You know it's true
Let go of everything
Open up to me
'Cause I'm right beside you...
I'll be your watchful eye
I send waves of devotion
Over you
You take it all in
And give it back
Give it back again
You bring me to sacred ground
When I'm inside you (Ground)
You bring me to sacred ground
Yes we'll love 'till there's nothing
Left to give
Matching every movement
Swimming in an ocean
Of sweat. The scent of you
It drives me to...
Oh! Just a little bit longer
You bring me to sacred ground
When I'm inside you (Ground)
You bring me to sacred ground
I know I can change your mind
Give it to me the same way
Giving it all up for love
I know that you feel the same way
I'd give it all up for you
I swear I would
I'm falling, falling inside...
Inside
Inside
Inside
You bring me to sacred ground
When I'm inside you (Ground)
You bring me to sacred ground
I'm inside you (Ground)
You bring me to sacred ground
When I'm inside you (Ground)
You bring me to sacred ground
Sacred (Ground)
Sacred (Ground)

Falling down |
Today is just a day
Like any other day to me
Walking wall to wall to pass the time
I picture what it's like
On the, on the other side
'Cause I'm here on the inside of blue
Without you
Day in day out on and on
I'm missing you
Yeah
Nothing seems to work as well
My face in the mirror looks like Hell
I think I need to see a doctor, huh
I watch the slow hand move
Line by line
I can't even think of a word that rhymes
N-now, now it's
Day in day out on and on (Ah! Ah!)
I'm missing you
Oh
Day in day out on and on
I'm missing you
Missing you
Somedays it feels
Just like falling down
Somedays it's easy
Just like falling down
Somedays it's real
Just like falling down
Somedays it's easy
Just like falling down
Day in day out on and on
Yeah, I'm missing you
Ha!
Day in day out on and on
I'm missing you
Missing you
Somedays it feels
Just like falling down
Somedays it's easy
Just like falling down
Somedays it's real
Just like falling down
Somedays it's easy
Just like falling
Now!
Somedays it feels
Just like falling down
Somedays it's easy
Just like falling down
Somedays it's real
Just like falling down
Somedays it's easy
Just like falling down
Yeah, I'm
(Down)
(Down)
Ugh!
(Down)
Yeah yeah, I'm
(Down)
Somedays it's
(Down)
Easy
(Down)
Somedays it's
(Down)
Real, yeah

Hit the black |
Hanging by a thread, problems in my head,
don't know what I said, living to be dead on the run.
Corporation greed, television need,
overdose and bleed, pornograph obscene, I'm a liar.
There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track.
They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back.
I'm going down...
to a place where I can see all there is to see in me.
Bullets in the gun, gonna have some fun,
think I'll take a ride to the other side, till I'm done.
Hole is in the vein,
feel it numb the brain, take away the pain,
never be the same till I die.
There's no brakes on me, as I come around the track.
There's no gauge to read, peg the needles as I hit the black.
I'm going down... down...
to a place where I can see all there is to see in me.
Population freeze, modern day disease,
brings us to our knees, see them stand in line for a cure.
Profit in the wind,
pushing back the time that we wait in line,
pushing back the time, it's a sin.
There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track.
They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back.
I'm going down... down
[I'm going down... down
I'm going down...]

Breakdown |
When the whirlwind of noise
Surrounds and gets intense
And when words can't hide
Their anger or intent
I feel it in my bones and in my head
Can't make sense of what is said
Ready for the takedown
Headed for a breakdown
Fear has me backed against these walls
That I follow and pace
Time moves in and out of phase
Of everything that I face
I feel it in my bones, they rattle and shake
Can't find a trace of what it takes
To stop this take down
Can't stop this breakdown
Welcome to my scene
A place that's in-between
Where squares fit the round
Some affectionately call it... my breakdown
When I feel the pressure mounting
And my hands begin to clutch
I reach my limit of pain
And I've had enough
It feels good to pound on tables and chairs
And feel the frenzy start to wear
Breakdown this take down
Gotta stop this breakdown
Welcome to my scene
A place that's in-between
Where squares fit the round
Oh
Oh
Oh never be, it'll never be
More than this
More than this
Never gonna be
More than this
Never gonna
Oh I'm breaking down
Oh I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down
I'm breaking down

The right side of my mind |
Hey, are you okay?
Better luck on another day
This path some weren't meant to follow
You're curious I can see
Always looking behind the trees
Keeping one eye on tomorrow
Yeah
Re-engineer your head
Is really what the dormouse said
Push the lies away
If you take time, look for clues
Scrape the shit off your shoes
You'll feel real today
I'd love to take you
And see what I see there...
On the right side of my mind
On the right side
On the right side... of my mind
Hey, there's one more thing
These things are hard to explain
For some, it seems strange... to swallow
The frontiers of our minds
Is the last place we find
But maybe the first place we should go
I'd love to take you
And see what I see there...
On the right side of my mind
(I'll see you there)
On the right side
On the right side of my mind
I'd love to take you
Love to take you
Love to take you there...
On the right side of my mind
(I'll see you there)
On the right side
On the right side of my mind
(People know)
On the right side of my mind
(People don't know)
On the right side
(I'll see you there)
On the right side of my mind
My mind
My mind
I'll see you there
