tell me remind me chase the waterracing from the sky always beside me taste the memories running form my eyes nervous flashlights scan my dreams liquid shadows silence their screams i smile at the moon chasing water from the sky i argue with the clouds stealing beaury from my eyes outside the soundness of your mind bathing your soul in silver tears beneath a blackened summer sky praying for time to disappear beneath a summmer sky under glass moonlight night awaits the lamb's arrival liquid shadows crawl silver readrops fall the bride subsides to her survival
Standing by the window Eyes upon the moon Hoping that the memory will leave her spirit soon She shuts the doors and lights And lays her body on the bed Where images and words are running deep She has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head So quietly she lays and waits for sleep
She stares at the ceiling And tries not to think And pictures the chain She's been trying to link again But the feeling is gone
And water can't cover her memory And ashes can't answer her pain God give me the power to take breath from a breeze And call life from a cold metal frame
In with the ashes Or up with the smoke from the fire With wings up in heaven Or here, lying in bed Palm of her hand to my head Now and forever curled in my heart And the heart of the world
Morning comes too early and nighttime falls too late And sometimes all I want to do is wait The shadow I've been hiding in has fled from me today
I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye But I will raise a shelter to the sky and here beneath this star tonight I'll lie She will slowly yield the light As I awaken from the longest night
Dreams are shaking Set sirens waking up tired eyes With the light the memories all rush into his head
By a candle stands a mirror Of his heart and soul she dances She was dancing through the night above his bed
And walking to the window he throws the shutters out against the wall And from an ivory tower hears her call 'Let light surround you'
It's been a long, long time He's had awhile to think it over In the end he only sees the change Light to dark Dark to light Light to dark Dark to light
Heaven must be more than this When angels waken with a kiss Sacred hearts won't take the pain But mine will never be the same
He stands before the window His shadow slowly fading from the wall And from an ivory tower hears her call 'Let the light surround you'
Once lost but I was found When I heard the stained glass shatter all around me I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill But I will hold this one on high above me still She whispers words to clear my mind I once could see but now at last I'm blind
I know it's easier to walk away than look it in the eye But I had given all than I could take And now I've only habits left to break Tonight I'll still be lying here Surrounded in all the light
Live another day Climb a little higher Find another reason to stay Ashes in your hands Mercy in your eyes If you′re searching for a silent sky...
You won′t find it here Look another way You won′t find it here So die another day
The coldness of this words The message in his silence, "Face the candle to the wind..." This distance in my voice Isn′t leaving you a choice So if you′re looking for a time to run away...
You won′t find it here Look another way You won′t find it here So try another day
They took pictures of our dreams Ran to hide behind the stairs And said maybe when it′s right for you, they′ll fall But if they don′t come down Resist the need to pull them in And throw them away Better to save the mystery Than surrender to the secret
You won′t find it here Look another way You won′t find it here So try another day
Only A Matter Of Time A suited man smiled said: "It's just a matter of time You can have the world at your feet by tomorrow just sign on this line." Hold tight...limelight! Approaching the paramount with the sun in our eyes fearing family ties, legalies, compromise In a dimly lit room with a stool as his stage a dream-stricken prince of a pauper's descent haunts the eavesdropping silence that presses his window as he sweats a performance to an audience that ticks on the walls
To the practical observer It's just a matter of time "You can deviate from the commonplace only to fall back in line." I understand mine's a risky plan and your system can't miss But is security after all a cause or symptom of happiness?
Brave, yet afraid, his eyes on horizon in a steady-set gaze a mariner soon from an open cocoon takes a moment to summon his courage to stifle his grave apprehension and trembling, approaches the surf A father's benediction as his hopeful son departs to brave the sea of rage and conquer at all costs
lingers in his memory and visions still surviving in a logic-proof shell that should have been held sacred, safe and hidden well are compromised in usury with every rising sun that yields no sight of land the hesitation cultivates within the tired man and rumors spread of mutiny and though the time will come when dream and day unite tonight the only consolation causing him to fight in fearless faith in destiny
Even when plan fall to pieces I can still find the courage with promise I've found in my faith
Likely or not, it's a dream that we keep and at odds with our senses we'll climb But if faith is the answer, we've already reached it
Lost in the sky Clouds roll by and I roll with them Arrows fly Seas increase and then fall again This world is spinning around me This world is spinning without me Every day sends future to past Every breath leaves one less to my last Watch the sparrow falling Gives new meaning to it all If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day I'll take seven lives for one And then my only father's son As sure as I ever did love him I am not afraid This world is spinning around me The whole world keeps spinning around me All life is future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I'm not afraid All that I feel in honor and spite All I can do is set it right Dust fills my eyes Clouds roll by and I roll with them Centuries cry Orders fly and I fall again This world is spinning inside me The whole world is spinning inside of me Every day sends future to past Every step brings me closer to my last Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I'm not afraid Living my life too much in in the sun Only until your will is done Oh that this too, Too solid flesh Would melt...
There was no time for pain No energy for anger The sightlessness of hatred slips away Walking through winter streets alone He stops and takes a breath With confidence and self control
I look at the world and see no understanding I'm waiting to find some sense of strength I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart to show me understanding
I need to live life Like some people never will So find me kindness Find me beauty Find me truth When temptation brings me to my knees And I lay here drained of strength Show me kindness Show me beauty Show me truth
The ways that your heart sounds makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way that your heart beats makes all the difference In learning to live Here before me is my soul I'm learning to live I won't give up Till I've no more to give
Listening to the city Whispering its violence I set out watching from above The 90's bring new questions New solutions to be found I fell in love to be let down
Once again we dance in the crowd At times a step away From a common fear that's all spread out It won't listen to what you say Once you're touched and you stand alone To face the bitter fight Once I reached for love And now I reach for life
Another chance to lift my life Free the sensation in my heart To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons It brings inner peace within my mind, As I'm lifted from where I've split my life I hear an innocent voice I hear kindness, beauty and truth
The way your heart sounds makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats makes all the difference In learning to live Spread before you is your soul So forever hold the dreams within our hearts Through nature's inflexible grace I'm learning to live
