Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages The night has fallen amongst the living and the dying And I'll try to hold it in Yeah I'll try to hold it in [Chorus:] The world's on fire It's more than I can handle Tap into the water, try to bring my share Try to bring more, more than I can handle Bring it to the table Bring what I am able I watch the heavens but I find no calling Something I can do to change what's coming Stay close to me while the sky is falling Don't wanna be left alone Don't wanna be alone [Chorus] Hearts break Hearts mend Love still hurts Visions clash Planes crash Still there's talk of Saving souls Still the cold's Closing in on us We part the veil on our killing sun Stray from the straight line on this short run The more we take, the less we become The fortune of one man means less for some [Chorus 2x] |

The ice is thin come on dive in
underneath my lucid skin. The cold is lost, forgotten. Hours pass days pass time stands still light gets dark and darkness fills my secret heart forbidden... I think you worried for me then the subtler ways that I'd give in but I know you liked the show. Tied down to this bed of shame you tried to move around the pain but oh your soul is anchored. The only comfort is the moving of the river. You enter into me a lie upon your lips. Offer what you can I'll take all that I can get only a fool's here... I dont like your tragic sighs as if your god has passed you by well hey fool that's your deception. Your angels speak with jilted tongue the serpent's tale has come undone you have no strength to squander. The only comfort is the moving of the river. You enter into me a lie upon your lips. Offer what you can I'll take all that I can get only a fool's here to stay. Only a fool's here to stay. Only a fool's here... |

In the desert of my dreams I saw you there
And I'm walking towards the water steaming body cold and bare but your words cut loose the fire and you left my soul to bleed And the pain that's in your eyes decieving me has go me scared Oh Why? Through your eyes the stairs of battle like a brooding storm Your up and down these pristing velvet walls like focus never forms My walls are getting wider and my eyes are drawn astray I see you now a wauge deception of a dying day Oh Why? I fall into the water and once more I turn to you And the crowds were standing staring faceless cutting off my view to you They start to limply flail their bodies in a twisted mime And I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I'm lain entwined Your gone and I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I'm lain entwined Oh Why? |

If I had the chance love
I would not hesitate To tell you all things I never said before Don't tell me it's too late [Chorus:] Cause I've relied on my illusion To keep me warm at night And I've denied in my capacity to love But I am willing to give up this fight Been up all night drinking To drown my sorrow down But nothing seems to help me since you've gone away I'm so tired of this town Where every tongue is wagging When every back is turned They're telling secrets that should never be revealed There's nothing to be gained from this But disaster Here's a good one Did you hear about my friend He's embarrassed to be seen now Cause we all know his sins If I had the chance love I would not hesitate To tell you all the things I never said before Don't tell me it's too late [Chorus:] Cause I've relied on my illusion To keep me warm at night And I've denied in my capacity to love But I am willing to give up this fight Oh, I am willing to give up this fight |

Night lift up the shades
Let in the brilliant light of morning But steady me now For I am weak And starving for mercy Sleep has left me alone To carry the weight of unraveling where we went wrong It's all I can do to hang on, To keep me from falling into old familiar shoes [Chorus:] How stupid could I be A simpleton could see That you're no good for me But you're the only one I see Love has made me a fool Set me on fire and watched as I floundered Unable to speak Except to cry out and wait for your answer But you come around in your time Speaking of fabulous places Create an oasis That dries up as soon as you're gone You leave me here burning in this desert without you [Chorus] Everything changes everything falls apart I can't stand to feel myself losing control But deep in my senses I know [Chorus 2x] |

Would your love in all its finery
tear at the darkness all around me until I can feel again until I can breathe again Cause Im a train wreck waiting to happen waiting for someone to come pick me up off the tracks a wild fire born of frustration born of the one love that gets me so high Ive no fear at all Would your eyes like midnight fireflies light up the trenches where my heart lies until I can see again to find my way back again Chorus To fall so deep into you lose myself completely in your sweet embrace all my pains erased From your mouth its all that I wish the mercy of your lips just one kiss until I can breathe again so that I can sing again |

[DMC]
As I walk through the corners of Cooley High I gotta be thankful that I'm still alive I have a lot of thoughts like who the hell am I What is the truth and what is a lie? But I think about my life and everything is okay I gotta pave the way to a brighter day Cause it's really plain and simple when it came to me There's a lot of people just like me (like me) There's a whole lot just like me (like me) [Chorus: Sarah Mclachlan] And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon When you comin home, I don't know when We'll get together then, you know we'll have a good time then [DMC] 1964, uhh! Here we go, aiyyo The child was born it was a beautiful day It was 1964, the 31st of May The girl gave birth to a baby boy He's not a burden, he's a bundle of joy She was just a young girl in her youth And her parents tried real hard to hide the truth Is there a chance for the baby to live? That is a chance that you gotta give [2X] [Chorus] [DMC] It was 9 whole months inside of the womb Another long month in the hospital room Facin doom in a tomb cause the kid is alone But somebody came along and they took the kid home He came into the world like we all do But he never ever knew how he came through Do the best you can do if this happen to you And understand all the words that I'm rappin to you [2X] [Chorus] [DMC] Father is, the mother and the father is.. Yo, the mother and the father is all that he knows They give him lots of love and you know that it shows He's livin really well he has all that he needs He came into the world and he's gonna succeed It is a blessing to live in the light If nothing is wrong then something is right They say that life is a mystery And I just wanna know my history Understand that life is good to me That's the way it is so (let it be) My life is complete, everything is alright Life is good to me, I'm in paradise Understand when I'm rappin, no pain and sorrow I just want you to know, yo yo [2X] I'm alright ma I'm alright pa.. na na na [Chorus - 4X to fade] |

I will be the answer
At the end of the line I will there for you While you take the time In the burning of uncertainty I will be your solid ground I will hold the balance If you can't look down If it takes my whole life I won't break, I won't bend It will all be worth it Worth it in the end ‘Cause I can only tell you what I know That I need you in my life And when the stars have all gone out You'll still be burning so bright Cast me gently Into morning For the night has been unkind Take me to a A place so holy That I can wash this from my mind The memory of choosing not to fight If it takes my whole life I won't break, I won't bend It will all be worth it Worth it in the end ‘Cause I can only tell you what I know That I need you in my life And when the stars have all burned out You'll still be burning so bright Cast me gently Into morning For the night has been unkind |

Heaven bend to take my hand
And lead me through the fire Be the long awaited answer To a long and painful fight Truth be told I tried my best But somewhere along the way I got caught up in all there was to offer And the cost was so much more than I could bear Though I've tried I've fallen I have sunk so low I've messed up Better I should know So don't come round here and Tell me I told you so We all begin with good intent When love was raw and young We believe that we can change ourselves The past can be undone But we carry on our back the burden time always reveals In the lonely light of morning In the wound that would not heal It's the bitter taste of losing everything I've held so dear I've fallen I have sunk so low I've messed up Better I should know So don't come round here and Tell me I told you so Heaven bend to take my hand With no where left to turn I'm lost to those I thought were friends To everyone I know Oh they turn their heads embarrassed Pretend that they don't see That it's one missed step, one slip before you know it And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed Though I've tried I've fallen I have sunk so low I've messed up Better I should know So don't come round here and Tell me I told you so I've messed up Better I should know Don't come round here and Tell me I told you so |

All the fear has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore. It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh. it's my mouth that pushes out this breath and if I shed a tear I won't cage it. I won't fear love and if I feel a rage I won't deny it. I won't fear love. Companion to our demons they will dance and we will play. With chairs candles and clothes making darkness in the day. It will be easy to look in or out upstream or down without a thought and if I shed a tear I won't cage it. I won't fear love and if I feel a rage I won't deny it. I won't fear love. Peace in the struggle to find peace. Comfort on the way to comfort and if I shed a tear I won't cage it. I won't fear love and if I feel a rage I won't deny it I won't fear love. I won't fear love. I won't fear love... |
