There is fiction in the space between
The lines on your page of memories Write it down but it doesn't mean You're not just telling stories There is fiction in the space between You and me There is fiction in the space between You and reality You will do and say anything To make your everyday life Seem less mundane There is fiction in the space between You and me There's a science fiction in the space between You and me A fabrication of a grand scheme Where I am the scary monster I eat the city and as I leave the scene In my spaceship I am laughing In your remembrance of your bad dream There's no one but you standing Leave the pity and the blame For the ones who do not speak You write the words to get respect and compassion And for posterity You write the words and make believe There is truth in the space between There is fiction in the space between You and everybody Give us all what we need Give us one more sad sordid story But in the fiction of the space between Sometimes a lie is the best thing Sometimes a lie is the best thing |

You and me Had some history Had a semblance of honesty All that has changed now We shared words Only lover speak How can it be We are less than strangers Oh it hurts to lose in love Let anger and cruelty win It's unfair that you doubt your feelings And that you'll ever love again I know that hearts can change Like the seasons and the wind But when I said forever I thought that we'd always be friends You and me had some history Had a semblance of honesty All that has changed now We shared words Only lovers speak How can it be We are less than strangers I thought I saw you yesterday I thought I passed you on the street I swear I saw your face I was not imagining That you stole a glance my way You walked away from me My heart it may be broken But my eyes are dry to see You and me had some history Had a semblance of honesty All that has changed now We shared words Only lovers speak How can it be We are less than strangers |

Unsettled hearts Promise what they can't deliver Bring me the wine And the cold night air to clear my head Gray matter memory house Master of this trembling flesh Steady still my doubts Let me speak the word that precedes bliss Let me speak the word Love love love love love love love love Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Love love love love love love love love Let me speak the word These weakened knees Have not touched ground or pew in ages I haven't bowed my head I offer thanks to any god or to ask for favors But watch me now I'm falling down Praying To speak the word that precedes bliss To speak the word To speak the word Love love love love love love love love Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Love love love love love love love love Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Let me speak the word Let me speak the word |

It's OK Love is only meant for some I'm the rock The shoulder you can cry on I keep the walls from falling down I keep the walls from falling down I keep the walls from falling down I'll play it straight While you laugh and drink and party all night long I'll designate myself To be the driver who takes you home I keep the walls from falling down I keep the walls from falling down You can be pretty and tragic I'll try to keep the walls from falling down You can be beautiful and fabulous I'll try to keep the walls from falling down I can't reach the pain you feel But I'll try to keep the walls from falling down If you can hold on Lose your fear I'll try to keep the walls from falling down Falling down Falling down Where is your saint? To let you know you're not alone To bring you peace Help me be your friend your confidante And keep the walls from falling down Keep the walls from falling down Keep the walls from falling down |

I've been having dreams and visions In them you are always standing Right beside me I reach out for your hand To see your arms extending outstretched towards me For you I don the veil By your light Others pale by comparison I place my faith in love My fate in this communication I've been having dreams and visions In them you are always standing Right beside me I reach out for your hand To see your arms extending Outstretched towards me To you I give my pledge I honor all that's good In this life we're living To think not only of myself But of the greater union Can I get a witness There is salvation and rapture for the lonely Can I get a witness Bless this day sacred and holy Sacred and Holy I've been having dreams and visions In them you are always standing Right beside me I reach out for your hand To see your arms extending Outstretched towards me With you I am revealed All my shame all my faults and virtues Behold body mind and spirit Heart and soul devoted all to you Can I get a witness Bless this day sacred and holy Sacred and Holy |

There would be psalms sung by a choir I would have a white robe a halo newly acquired I'd be at peace and I'd have no desire If I'd lived right There would be cherubs with tiny harps arrows and bows I'd have a halo and a flowing white robe I'd be enfolded by a celestial light If I'd lived right But I'm feeling hot and bothered under the collar I feel the sweat breaking out on my brow I feel the heat and I know it's the passion The love I can't disavow If this is a dream wake me up now If this is a movie let's edit these scenes out It would be a PG instead of an X-rated life If I'd lived right Some would call me a cheat call me a liar Say that I've been defeated by the basest desired Yes I have strayed and succumbed to my vices But I tried to live right But I have no regrets no guilt in my heart I only feel sadness for any pain that I've caused I guess I wouldn't bother to worry at all If I'd lived right Do you live by the book do you play by the rules? Do you care what is thought by others about you? If this day is all that is promised to you Do you life for the future the present the past? If there is one thing I know I know I will die If anyone cares some stranger my critique my life I may be revered or defamed and decried But I tried to live right There would be psalms sung by a choir I would have a white robe a halo newly acquired I'd be at peace and I'd have no desire If I'd lived right |

Good times and bad Seen them both Hope fly out the window Fortune walk through the door Learned not to believe This is as good as it gets Because we ain't seen nothing yet Hands untied But the same shuffle once again Running all the time Ain't going nowhere It's a new page in the same book It's a new game with the same rules The lights go down Fade to black on the set And we ain't seen nothing yet Saddled with bonds Broken and in disrepair Forty acres to a forty-ounce Don't seem fair The sirens rise and wail Shadowed by Liberty's torch As the boats that brought us over Are slowly sinking off the shore And we ain't seen nothing yet This life a crime A blessing and a curse Chosen and unwanted Displaced and usurped I'd run away But there is nowhere to go So I'll stand and fight And hope and pray That the best is yet to come And we ain't seen nothing yet |

Touched the mirror Broke the surface of the water Saw my true self All illusions shattered Money's only paper only ink We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree How the world turns Who made the sun Who owns the sea The world we know will fall piece by piece Sat down up close to the colored black hole Like they'd always told me not to Saw the one dimension polka dot pacifier And all illusions shattered Money's only paper only ink We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree How the world turns Who made the sun Who owns the sea The world we know will fall piece by piece Bared myself wholly heart and body unadorned Stripped down solely To the evil and the good Felt no shame Naked to the world And all illusions shattered Money's only paper only ink We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree How the world turns Who made the sun Who owns the sea The world we know will fall piece by piece Faced towards the sea Looked to heaven up above Felt the world revolve around me No one could tell me otherwise But the turbulent waters won't reflect this life Only the sun the moon and sky And all illusions shattered Money's only paper only ink We'll destroy ourselves if we can't agree How the world turns Who made the sun Who owns the sea The world we know will fall piece by piece Money's only paper only ink |

If I am right If I can be Constant and faithful You'll find me In my devotion In my devotion What if you find a fault Between my purpose and my deeds And deem me beyond salvation Judge me to be unworthy Of your devotion Of your devotion If this be obsession deliver me A passing infatuation deliver me A feeling lacking in purity deliver me A test of fidelity deliver me Deliver me Deliver me What if I should find You're no good for me What if I can't be strong enough What if I can't break free Of my devotion Of my devotion |

She was the only one Of my flesh and blood Now I have no calling I can do no worldly good I sit silent I sit mourning I sit listless all the day I've mostly lost the voice to speak And any words to say except Does heaven have enough angels yet? I've gone hard And I've gone cold I can't make the piece of this cracked life fit Please forgive me for wanting to know Does heaven have enough angels yet? She was the only one Of my own flesh and blood Sometimes I hear her calling Straight from the house of god |

Can't run fast enough Can't hide I can't fly I'm struggling with the limits of this ordinary life Just a, just a, just a first try Can't hear what you say Can't see by the light I'm struggling with the limits of this ordinary life Just a, just a, just a first try Can't say what I mean Can't love from the heart Can't trust in the mercy and the goodness in the world Can't learn to accept that it's alright To struggle with the limits of this ordinary life Can't be just a, just a, just a first try Just a, just a, just a first try |
