Complicate this world you wrapped for me
I'm acquainted with your suffering *And all your weight It falls on me It brings me down And all your weight It falls on me It falls on me Hold me up to all whom you've deceived Promises you break you still believe *repeat" |

She said that time is unfair
To a woman her age Now that wisdom has come Everything else fades She said she realizes She's seen her better days She said she can't look back To her days of youth What she thought were lies She later found was truth She said her daddy had dreams But he drank them away And her mother's to blame For the way she is today Life's river shall rise She Said And only the strong shall survive She Said But I'm feeling quite weak She Said Will you comfort and forgive me She Said She said she's still searching For salvation's light She said she wishes all day And she prays all night She said she won't speak of love Because love she's never known She said it's moments like these She hates to be alone Forgive me She Said Forgive me She Said |

Are these times contagious
I've never been this bored before Is this the prize I've waited for Now with the hours passing There's nothing left here to insure I long to find a messenger *Have I got a long way to run Have I got a long way to run Yeah, I run Is there a cure among us From this processed sanity I weaken with each voice that sings Now in this world of purchase I'm going to buy back memories To awaken some old qualities *repeat Yeah, I run *repeat |

There she stumbles
Falling to her knees I think she tripped on reality I have witnessed Tragic comedies That's the world in which she leads Well I would walk a million miles To give her all that she needs But she would walk a million more To do what she believes She'll have a perfect day Troubles blooming Innocence now fades But still she's dry through All the rain There's no purpose She has yet to crave She's like the big dog on parade Well I would walk a million miles To give her all that she needs She would walk a million more To do well as she pleased She had a perfect day I can't figure this one out I've no words here to explain She'll just sugar kiss me off She'll just have another perfect day |

Hitched a ride to the peaceful side of town
Then proceeded where thieves were no longer found Can't crash now I've been waiting for this Won't crash now I found some encouragement Precious declaration reads Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now Precious declaration says I believe all hope is dead no longer New meanings to the words I feed upon Wake within my veins elements of freedom Can't break now I've been living for this Won't break now I'm cleansed with hopefulness Precious declaration says Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now Precious declaration says I believe all hope is dead no longer Once I jumped thru hoops of fire High and far as you required I was blind but now I see Salvation has discovered me |

In the air I'm tasting your perfection
Forgive me dear for my misdirection As I crawl beneath this torture you adore I fall face to face with my scars you've ignored So tell me why it don't feel the same Tell me why I've got to feel this way Yeah you leave, you're gone And I'm left here with the blame So tell me why it don't feel the same All my props I swear they were in order Even with the warnings of your thunder Now I pause to let my silence scream tonight Awhile you roam like a serpent satellite |

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown? Has all the kindness gone? Hope still lingers on. I drink myself of newfound pity Sitting alone in New York City And I don't know why. Are we listening To hymns of offering? Have we eyes to see That love is gathering? All the words that I've been reading Have now started the act of bleeding Into one. So I walk up on high And I step to the edge To see my world below. And I laugh at myself As the tears roll down. 'Cause it's the world I know. It's the world I know. |

I leave the cage wide open
I give no words of caution dear So when you're done revolving I only ask your presence here So in the morning when I slow And the sun soon explodes I need the world to be controlled And in the evening when I leave I need a reason to believe In the next homecoming, yeah I cleared the road wide open So put your hand on the wheel and steer Don't drain this conversation To only fill it back with tears So in the morning when I slow And the sun soon explodes I need the world to be controlled And in the evening when I leave I need a reason to believe In the next homecoming yeah Homecoming, homecoming, homecoming |

Hey you're now thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone Hey you're now searching Lost in isolation from your soul The bullets you bite From the pain you request You're finding harder to digest And the answers you seek Are the ones you destroy Your anger's well deployed Hey why can't you listen Hey why can't you hear Hey why can't you listen As love screams everywhere Hey you now hunger Feeding your mind with selfishness Hey you now wander Aimlessly around your consciousness Your prophecies fail And your thoughts become weak Silence creates necessity You're clothing yourself In the shields of despair Your courage now impaired You crucify all honesty No signs you see do you believe And all your words just twist and turn Reviving just to crash and burn You're fighting till the bitter end If only your heart could open up And listen |

Why drink the water
from my hand? Contagious as you think I am Just tilt my sun towards your domain. Your cup runneth over again. Don't scream about Don't think aloud Turn your head now baby Just spit me out Don't worry about Don't speak of doubt Turn your head now baby Just spit me out Why follow me to higher ground? Lost as you swear I am. Don't throw away your basic needs, Ambiance and vanity. December promise you gave unto me December whispers of treachery December clouds are now covering me December songs no longer I sing |

In my silence I would love to forget
But restitution hasn't come quite yet And with one accord I keep moving forth I stretch my heart to heal some more It used to be all I'd want to learn Was wisdom trust and truth But now all I really want to learn Is forgiveness for you As my seasons change I've now grown to know When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe So I wash away stains of yesterday Then tempt my heart with love's display |
