Don't Save Me (It's Alright) I held the promise too hard Took me a little too far outside the waters of love And coming out of a dream I was in the machine looking down from above And from this uninspired view I saw the truth of all I knew Falling from the sky but... It's alright, it's alright Don't try to save me now 'cause It's alright, alrigh Well I was lost at the gate A victim of fate, another innocent son And with a cynical grace You showed me a place where I could never be from Now this acid skyline tears my lungs leaves it's flavor on my tongue holds me like a vice but... It's alright, it's alright Don't try to save me now 'cause It's alright, alright Well I touched the core and got my fingers burned But I loosed the chains around myself I'm ready now I'm ready to be heard Now every day's a metaphor For someone who expected more Just to be denied but... It's alright, it's alright Don't try to save me now 'cause Close Window

Little Mystery She goes along like a dream yeah, she's everything you want to see But, like that Church down the street hey, She's got a little history. And she's been through this town like the plague When she goes down St. Stephen's there's nothing in her way but, She's already gone too far to think about what it used to be, oh yeah, oh yeah She says there ain't no secrets in this town I just need a little mystery, oh yeah, oh yeah She takes her boy by the hand, yeah says tell me what you want to be He says I'll do what I can hey, but, is it really up to me? From the perfect life of a queen To the dirty language there's nothing in between but, She's already gone too far to think about what it used to be, oh yeah, oh yeah She says there ain't no secrets in my life I just need a little mystery, oh yeah, oh yeah And the only undeniable fear Is the passing of another year And while she prays to be reborn She paints her eyes the color of a storm There's nothing else left to do hey, but try to make the best of it And the crazy truth of it all It's a great reminder there's nowhere left to fall and, She's already gone too far to think about what it used to be, oh yeah, oh yeah She says there ain't no secrets in this town I just need a little mystery, oh yeah, oh yeah She says say a prayer for innocence 'cause I let it get away from me, oh yeah, oh yeah But, there ain't no secrets in my life I just need a little mystery, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah Little mystery, little mystery...

Anywhere I feel like I'm an acrobat, I work the wire act, and I walk it nice and tall I wave down to a friendly crowd, they're screaming nice and loud But, I think they're hoping for a fall I said I'm sorry more than twice, kept the conversation nice But, it never got me anywhere You do the best to wait your turn, until the day you finally learn That never gets you anywhere, not anywhere. I count my blessings on a napkin ring, There's a notch for everything, you thought that I deserved And I carve it with a rusty knife, it's the story of my life And it's getting more absurd I said I'm sorry more than twice, kept the conversation nice But, it never got me anywhere You do the best to wait your turn, until the day you finally learn That never gets you anywhere, not anywhere. Somewhere between suicide and total bliss I called for Providence, and I asked her for a ride She found me on the interstate, and with a final twist of fate I watched her drive right by I said I'm sorry more than twice, kept the conversation nice But, it never got me anywhere You do the best to wait your turn, until the day you finally learn That never gets you anywhere, not anywhere. Not anywhere, not anywhere... Close Window

Last Thing That I Need I've been through this house alone It always chilled me to the bone You'd light a candle for every dirty deed And it just might be the last thing that I need There's a diary in your head of every honest thing you've said A narrow volume I suppose you never read And it just might be the last thing that I need And oh my God, where did I go wrong? It seemed so clear. The waste is drowning me oh me. At the base of what you are There's just a cell that went too far You keep dividing at unrecommended speed And it just might be the last thing that I need And it just might be the last thing that I need And it just might be the last thing that I need Close Window

If That's Alright I could wind you up like a ten cent doll Point you right into the nearest wall You call my name I'm gonna walk right by This ain't no time for you to question why And in all this time I could get this far A beat up soul and a borrowed car Gonna place my bets on something real Close my eyes and just spin the wheel If that's alright with you There's a one way ticket in my shoulder pack Gonna climb right on man and not look back And All those sins that'll drag you down Gonna leave 'em all in the next big town And when I get off I'm gonna take it slow Lose myself in the afterglow Gonna right my debts, face my fears Later on I might disappear If that's alright with you If it's alright I might stand naked On a cliff so high you can't look down And If it's alright I might just make it What goes around I'm gonna get around, get around I'm gonna get around Had a crazy dream...me in the water Like a submarine going down And I'm calling out for somebody's daughter But, the ocean swallows up the sound And when I wake up and I breathe the air Hear the voices in the city square I can watch the time go right past Gotta find a way that I can make it last If that's alright with you If that's alright with you Close Window

Suffer Me Hey now I'm really dragging, a little too much on my back I'm not one to take to bragging, but, I feel my senses coming back I don't want no conversation, I don't want no "how you been?" 'cause I'm way past pretending, all that might come back again And after all the silence Don't you know you're gonna have to suffer me I broke down in the violence Don't you know you're gonna have to suffer me Man you're like a broken record, I've seen every piece of you And just like my favorite nightmare, you're a little too close to true I don't want no invitation, I don't want no perfect chance 'cause I'm way past believing, all that might come back again And after all the silence Don't you know you're gonna have to suffer me I broke down in the violence Don't you know you're gonna have to suffer me Don't expect too much, that's the lesson here You could speak your mind, but you might disappear Don't invent too much, and remember this You could not magnify enough the burden of a kiss Come on now and tell me something, tell me something I don't know I feel like I'm going down for the last time now and it's touch and go And after all the silence Don't you know you're gonna have to suffer me I broke down in the violence Don't you know you're gonna have to suffer me You're gonna have to suffer me You're gonna have to suffer me Close Window

Finding Out If you hear me now Athena, take my hand so sweetly In the shadows all the carnivores, grind their teeth discreetly And I swear I haven't always understood God's great plan and when to follow And then I never thought a life could hold so much doubt But I...I'm finding out I'm finding out I went out to find a martyr, just to feel the power And when he made the final sacrifice, it hit me like a fire And I know I haven't always given back Near enough from all I carry And then I never thought a life could hold so much doubt But I...I'm finding out I'm finding out And the world feels lonesome now Like a rain cloud rolling over me And the world feels lonesome now Like she's already over me, she's already over me If you hear me now Athena, take my hand so sweetly 'cause in the shadows all the carnivores, grind their teeth discreetly And I swear I haven't always understood God's great plan and where it takes me And then I never thought a life could hold so much doubt But I...I'm finding out I'm finding out Close Window

Suppose I don't wanna sleep tonight, I don't wanna sleep tonight It seems like such a waste of time I don't wanna be the one, I don't wanna be the one That takes the passion from the crime And the rest, well the rest doesn't count Let it die for all I care And suppose a man could live a life without love And suppose he thought that what he had was enough And suppose he never knew the weight of it's touch And then all this time it's right in front of me Isn't it a laugh for you? Isn't it a laugh for you To see me struggle with the words I've been all up and down, I've been all up and down I've seen the beauty and the curse And the part that I can't comprehend Is the part I need now And suppose a man could live a life without love And suppose he thought that what he had was enough And suppose he never knew the weight of it's touch And then all this time it's right in front of me Yeah, it's right in front of me there where anyone could see But I lost it in a cloud there with everything I tried to live without And the part that I can't live without Close Window

It's Only Me I'm on the outside looking for a way back in I spent a lotta time trying to find another skin But, I guess it's hard. I guess it's just too hard to be anything, but what you wanted me to be. Can't you see it's only me. You got the whole world thinking you're the one to know. I bought a ticket but, I never got to see the show. And I guess it's hard. I guess it's just too hard to be anything, but what you wanted me to be. Can't you see it's only me. Taking money from a dirty hand Makes you nothing but a dirty man Pray to God your rundown soul can learn to unchain what you can't control Hey what's it gonna be I could really use a break I watched my first chance turn into my last mistake And I guess it's hard. I guess it's just too hard to be anything, but what you wanted me to be. I guess it's hard. I guess it's just too hard to be anything, but what you wanted me to be. Can't you see it's only me.

This Is Life Sometimes I'm a sinking ship, looking 'round to get a grip But there's just nothing to hold onto any longer And sometimes I'm an open book, 'till you take a second look you see the lines between the lines and it's pretty cold there It's taking its toll, letting it go This is life, this is life Some reservations get you down, they pick you off without a sound And pieces of the puzzle they come pretty slow now I guess it's all in the wrist, you figure out what you've missed You get the concept once you start the finger pointing It's taking its toll, letting it go This is life, this is life This is life, this is life Wasn't that a crazy dream Someone tell me what it means, what it means...to me Sometimes I'm a sinking ship, looking round to get a grip But, there's just nothing to hold onto any longer And some days It's more than I can take, these things are keeping me awake and I get lost in all the pointless imperfections It's taking its toll, letting it go This is life, this is life This is life, this is life Close Window

Never Really Lost I've been talking to a friend, They tell me this circus never ends That's alright I know that scene But, all that juice'll make you mean And every little secret feels like gravel in your soul And you find yourself believing it's all under control But, you're going too fast to avoid the cost Trying to get back what you never really lost. I remember all to well The way you built your private hell 'cause every time you turned your back Another stone would make the stack You live your life in pieces so it doesn't mean a thing Claiming not to notice any consequence it brings But, you're going too fast to avoid the cost Trying to get back what you never really lost. Isn't it a sad surprise When you see it's all a compromise There's what you have and what you dream And life is somewhere in-between And you wind up throwing curses at an undeserving moon Contemplating verses from an early Dylan tune But, you're going too fast to avoid the cost Trying to get back what you never really lost. You're going too fast to avoid the cost Trying to get back what you never really lost. Close Window

Total Stranger It wasn't always this way, It wasn't always so hard I remember the weight, of loves hand on my heart I never needed it less, I never wanted it more Like and addict at best, caught in the pull of a score And It goes over again like a fall with no end 'till you laugh in the face of the danger And I've been lost in a crowd, I've been dreaming too loud Seeking love from a total stranger Well, I pretended to care, when it all came to pass But, you know somewhere in there, I wished it over at last Just to feel the regret, something honest and cold Like the rush that you get, in the wake of a truth finally told And It goes over again like a fall with no end 'till you laugh in the face of the danger And I've been lost in a crowd, I've been dreaming too loud Seeking love from a total stranger It wasn't always this way, it wasn't always so hard Well, I remember the weight, of loves hand on my heart And It goes over again like a fall with no end 'till you laugh in the face of the danger And I've been lost in a crowd, I've been dreaming too loud Seeking love from a total stranger It goes over again like a fall with no end 'till you laugh in the face of the danger And I've been lost in a crowd, I've been dreaming too loud Seeking love from a total stranger Close Window

Finer Things Isn't that the way it goes? Just when everything seems clear Someone opens up the holes You watch the bottom disappear And all the Angels over me they laugh about my common sense Written down in magazines...this must be the finer things Could it really come from God? Every little twist of fate Or is it just a random thought? Guiding every step I make And while we're lying in the dark, every touch is poetry Let your love invade my dreams...this must be the finer things Could it ever be better than this? Could it ever be better than this? Than this... I cannot remember you Ever looking so serene Maybe what inspires you could once again inspire me And all the voices in my head they sing to me of second chance Lift me up on borrowed wings...this must be the finer things The finer things The finer things Close Window
