All this pain surrounding me

Hopelessness is all that I see now

Does it have to be this way

Brought up on hypocrisy

The seeds they sow don't last forever

They just fade away



Don't be confused by the lies

Of the fools and deceivers

Hope and believe in the things

That we need to survive



We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith

We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith



Take away my dignity

Take away my hope and my freedom

You got a world full of rage

Don't cover me with apathy

Don't buy and sell what I believe in

Don't lock me in a cage



In a world where no one's alone

Trust should come easily

Just reach out your hand

And I'll give you mine



We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith

We can chage it if we'd just accept the gift of faith



Don't be confused be the lies

Of the fools and deceivers

Hope and believe in the things

That we need to survive



We can make if if we'd only take the gift of faith

We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith

We can make if if we'd only take the gift of faith

It's yours to choose but only fools refuse the gift of faith

I was born in the land of the sun

And the tall green grass

And I don't understand

How all this has come to pass

How we've come to surround ourselves

In a sea of thieves

In a land without learning

Only the fools believe



I went driving last night

On a dark canyon road

Had the sky to myself

But I wasn't alone

Had the pain of my lifetime

For my company

How did it end up like this

For you and me



When love breaks the promise

The heart has to keep

It leaves only truth here to find

When the spirit is crushed

And the hurt is so deep

Between you and I



Even when love has come and gone

And our hearts have moved along

I will remember

There was a time we had the trust

And that always was enough

I will remember

I will remember you



As I open my eyes to one more day

The wind burns my face

As it whispers your name

As it's pulling me forward

It tears me free

And the only thing left

Is the tears for and me



'Cause when love breaks the promise

The heart has to keep

It leaves only truth here to find

When the spirit is crushed

And hurt is so deep

Between you and I



Even when love has come and gone

And our hearts have moved along

I will remember

There was a time we had the trust

And that always was enough

I will remember



Even when love has come and gone

And our hearts have moved along

I will remember

There was a time we had the trust

And that always was enough

I will remember

I will remember you...

You're a soul with no religion

There's ice in your embrace

In your dance of indecision

I see the anger in your face

A little drink to help my vision

A little something for the pain

There's no drug for my condition

There's no sweetness in the taste



Tell me where the ride's gonna lead you

Do I have to pay to be your friend?

There's nothing left to say

When you slipped away



I can see you fading fast

I won't let you take me

When you slipped away

I can see your burning stare

Nothing's gonna shake me

As you slip away



You're a world of blind ambition

Staring through the looking glass

You will meet your own collision

When your conscience comes to ask

Steal the love from those around you

Help yourself to everything

Take the shelter that surrounds you

It leaves you standing in the rain



Tell me if the money can heal you

Do I have to pray to make it end?

There's nothing left to say

When you slipped away



I can see you fading fast

I won't let you take me

When you slipped away

I can see your burning stare

Nothing's gonna shake me

As you slip away



(Instrumental brake)



When you slipped away



I can see your burning stare

Nothing's gonna shake me

As you slip away



I can see you fading fast

I won't let you take me



I can see your burning stare

Nothing's gonna shake me

As you slip away

I left you crying on that angry morning

You know I lied

I'll always run from anything that loves me

To my safe side



My world circles 'round a different sun

That's all burned away

I know that you're the only one

Now I'm walking down some distant street

And I know your touch is out of reach



Girl you belong to me I know

And it was wrong for me to ever let you go

Girl you belong to me I know



Everybody has a lonely moment

They can't explain

And everybody wants to feed their hunger

Without the pain



There's no shadows in my hiding place

I'm so locked away

Now I wish that I could see your face

I know I hurt you when you say we're through

I never really will get over you 'cause



Girl you belong to me I know

And it was wrong for me to ever let you go

Girl you belong to me I know



(Instrumental brake)



Girl you belong to me I know

And it was wrong for me to ever let you go

Well it's two a.m.

You're just getting in

Soon you'll be creepin' into bed

Later you'll pretend you were out with a friend

But I'm still inside your head



I don't understand

You say I'm your man

When it's clear you're seein' another

You can call me a fool for just loving' you

But girl I'll never find another



If you think he'll love you better

Your every wish is his command

Baby he's your man



Baby he's your man



Well, you spoke your mind

But I still can't find what's wrong with you and me

I got something' to say

And baby come what may

Baby we were never meant to be



So I want you to know

I can't let him go

'Til find a love that's real

I don't like this game

I don't need this pain

I'm just saying what I feel



I know he can love me better

My every wish is his command



Baby he's my man



(Instrumental brake)



Now I know I should love you better



Oh, my every every wish is his command



Baby he's your

Baby he's my

Baby he's your man

Baby he's my man

Sometimes it hurts clear to the core

When we lose all we've cared for

The hunger and thirst

For love that endures

Is never ending



What will I do with my life?

Try to share it with somebody new?

And how can I learn to disguise

That I'm lost without you



All I have left is a heart full of mirrors

A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over

Girl it's over

I'll hear it echo deep inside

'Til the other end of time

The other end of time



Left over dreams fade in my mind

And I'm counting on this love to die

'Cause all that I need

Is to give my whole life

A new beginning



But something is holding me down

Like I'm under a mountain of stone

And all I can hear is the sound

Of my own heart breaking



'Cause all I have left is a heart full of mirrors

A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over

Girl it's over

I'll hear it echo deep inside

'Til the other end of time

Until the end of time



(Instrumental brake)



'Cause all I have left is a heart of mirrors

A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over

Girl it's over

I'll hear it echo deep inside



All I have left is a heart full of mirrors

A heart full of voices reminding me that it's over

Girl it's over

I'll hear it echo deep inside

'Til the other end of time

'Til the other end of time

Until the end of time

Oh baby

Until the end of time

Until the end of time

I went down to the highway

That runs between love and pride

And I tried to get sideways

Across the great divide

But my mind's eye's on the key ring

Crying in misery

'Cause it won't spend one more evening

Staring back to me



It may be by choice

Or a small inner voice

I can't say

When you add up the cost

We all have a cross

How do you write off the loss?



Where do I go from here?

How do I find my way?

When is it loud and clear?

That there's no turning back

No looking back



Where do I go from here?

Nobody gets away

It's a new kind of fix

For the poor and the rich

You never know what's coming next

At the turning point



The rules are unwritten

And nobody knows the deal

Where have I been driven

Are demons behind the wheel?

Yeah, I know my days are numbered

We're only flesh and bone

And I've been left to wonder

How it went so wrong



Is it all tailor made?

Can the sinner be saved?

I can't say

So don't hang your hat

On the knife im my back

'Cause nobody treats me like that



Where do I go from here?

How do I find my way?

When is it loud and clear?

That there's no turning back

No looking back



Where do I go from here?

Nobody gets away

It's a new kind of fix

For the poor and the rich

You never know what's coming next

At the turning point



(Instrumental brake)



Where do I go from here?

How do I find my way?

When is it loud and clear?

That there's no turning back

No looking back



Where do I go from here?

Nobody gets away

When is it loud and clear?

That there's no turning back

No looking back



Where do I go from here?

Nobody gets away

It's a new kind of fix

For the poor and the rich

You never know what's coming next

At the turning point

Those days we gave our all

Unaffected

I bravely faced the fall

No reflection



Freak armies of the night

Misdirected

I fought the useless fight

Unprotected



Don't cry for me

Time is the enemy

Soon I'll be free

I surrender



Sweet moon, she marks the year

Unreflected

How sad she has no tears

So neglected



Don't cry for me

Time is the enemy

Soon I'll be free

I surrender

They keep looking through the window

A cathode glaze across their eyes

Now that I've been betrayed

I must be well behaved

I'll drink corruption with their lies



Why was I hiding out?

What am I running from?

Why are they waiting?

Have I always been the choosen one?



Drag him to the roof

Just push me over

I've got no better place to be

Drag him to the roof

Let's get it over

It's a perfect day to punish me



I wish that lady would defend me

I can't abide by all the laws

I'll buy the magistrate

Can't be a second late

I anxiously await his call



Who made this jigsaw puzzle?

Who'll put the pieces back?

Who'll come and get me

When I have fallen through the cracks?



Drag him to the roof

Just push me over

I've got no better place to be

Drag him to the roof

Let's get it over

It's not a pretty thing to see



Drag him to the roof

Just push me over

I've got no better place to be

Drag him to the roof

Let's get it over

It's a perfect day to punish me



(Instrumental brake)



Who made this jigsaw puzzle?

Who'll put the pieces back?

Who'll come and get me

When I have fallen through the cracks?



Drag him to the roof

Just push me over

I've got no better place to be

Drag him to the roof

Let's get it over

It's not a pretty thing to see



Drag him to the roof

Just push me over

I've got no better place to be

Drag him to the roof

Let's get it over

It's not a pretty thing to see



Drag him to the roof

Drag him to the roof

Let's get it over

It's a perfect day to punish me

I'm driving' through the rain

Just to talk to you again

Please don't run away this time

Until I say what's on my mind



Tonight I need to stay with you

This time I'm not passing throught

Tear down the walls around your heart

And though I know it's who you are



I just can't get to you girl

Oh yeah, I just can't get to you

If you won't let me through girl

Oh no, I just can't get to you



You say you really need me here

So I can't let you disappear

Even though it's getting late

Somehow I seem to hesitate



'Cause I just can't get to you girl

Oh yeah, I just can't get to you

If you won't let me through girl

Oh no, I just can't get to you



You're afraid that you'll get hurt again

Yes, I know that's how it feels

Don't surrender, that's no way to win

Let it go, let me in



(Instrumental brake)



'Cause I just can't get to you

Just can't get to you girl

Oh yeah, just can't get to you

If you won't let me through girl

Oh no, I just can't get to you



Just can't get to you girl

Oh yeah, just can't get to you

You won't let me through girl

Oh no, I just can't get to you

Not by way of an apology

For the things that I have done

Do I set my boat upon the sea



So like thunder I am breaking free

In the landscape of the heart

It's hard to tell what's really taken me



Now I see it all through different eyes

This emotion can't be wrong

Past the mountains under empy skies

And the road goes on and on...



I've been living through this poetry

Tangled words and worn out prose

Love is needing, love is bleeding me



Now I see it all through different eyes

This emotion can't be wrong

Past the mountains under empty skies

And the road goes on...



(Instrumental brake)



Now I see it all through different eyes

This emotion can't be wrong

Past the mountains under empty skies

And the road goes on...



Now I see it all through different eyes

Where I'm going, where I've gone

All I know - I'm still surprised

That the road goes on and on...
