There's a nature we innately understand that we rarely listen to
How strong am I, I know the legacies I live within, how strong am I to use what I've learned with discipline How strong am I to take this resistance and make it free how strong are we Can you still hear me thro' all these distractions and can you still see me tho all this smoke, And do you have purpose or you just paying off mortgage and do you take rich drugs or poor drugs to hide your ache for something more How strong are we, we know the legacies we live within, how strong are we to meet each other thro' this division. How strong are we to rise beyond these blinded leaders how strong are we Who spent the money, and who pays the price to not be responsible must be so nice. Did you hear about karma, and how it comes back, too late to wear glasses when your sky turns black. How strong are we we know the legacies we live within, how strong are we to meet each other thro' this division How strong are we to take this resistance and make it free How strong are we There's a nature we innately understand that we rarely listen to |

You're a ghost in the snow now
And the light in my red mood You flow across me in waves of I hope to see you soon Your anchor drags behind me I feel your imprint on my thumbs And everywhere I go I hear you in the words that I use In my theories algebra and sums *Chorus* I've kicked myself for months now It's bread and water without you Bread and water It's bread and water without you So you stare at me through keyholes Like I'm some religion in the rain Your defenses highlight my weaknesses now When before you loved me all the same Yeah you loved me all the same *Bridge* And I wonder what you're doing And I think of what I've done And I wonder what you're doing And I think of what I've done *Chorus* I've kicked myself for months now It's bread and water without you Bread and water It's bread and water without you |

Something rumbling underneath my skin
I could not define it or invite it in Though To let it in would be to liberate To keep it in darkness is to propagate Why It's all about Believing through something that you always doubt When you have faith You will be willing to wait When you have faith Through all that logic and haste It's never too late So try to create 'Cause the last thing that breaks The last thing that breaks The last thing that breaks Is your faith Something shouting from behind my eyes I'm looking too closely to recognize To gain perspective think it would be wise Would you please listen while it testifies Now It's all about Believing through something that you always doubt When you have faith You will be willing to wait When you have faith Through all that logic and haste Its never too late So try to create 'Cause the last thing that breaks The last thing that breaks The last thing that breaks Is your faith And I surrender to this storm And taste the raindrops sweet and wet and warm And may I never loose this faith I've found It keeps me anchored on to solid ground So let lightening flash and wind swirl around When you have faith You will be willing to wait When you have faith Through all that logic and haste It's never too late So try to create 'Cause the last thing that breaks The last thing that breaks The last thing that breaks Is your faith You have faith (You have faith) (You have faith) (You have faith) You have faith (You have faith) (You have faith) (You have faith) You have faith (You have faith) Faith |

The words I have to say may well be simple but they're true
until you give your love there's nothing more that we can do Love is the opening door love is what we came here for no one can offer you more do you know what I mean, have your eyes really seen you say its very hard to leave behind the life we knew, but there's no other way and now its really up to you love is the key we must turn truth is the flame we must burn freedom the lesson we must learn do you know what I mean have your eyes really seen |

When I was born, my confidence was unmatched by anyone,
and I could have sworn, my soul came from the sun. When I was born I looked again one more time, back to the light, I waved goodbye then I boldly stepped into this night. In(to) this maze of conditioning no choice in my positioning, into this thicket with no return ticket, till I get to the other side Well, I passed a church, they were crying on the floor and I passed some children, they were eager playing war, my eyes grew sore, and how do I save myself from this disease and how do I keep my soul pure please I was lost now just like tears in the rain and I felt angry with this burden of pain with no refrain, so I decided that even love was a lie and all I had left was me alone |

Ruby's smiling
not because she's happy, but cause she's planning her escape, Ruby's smiling to make sure you feel comfortable inside you smiling world, behind your smiling tape Ruby take us to the Promised Land, Ruby you are Moses with a different band Speak the truth girl so all the slaves will understand We'll find our real smiles hidden in the desert No one suspects her no one can see a difference because she smiles the way you taught her, candy coated And she can play you better than you ever could play her but it's boring, she's kind of bloated; And sometimes she finds she will play herself, now that is dangerous, that is lying So she is leaving She is taking everything, she's not coming back, no she's not coming back We've seen this smile before, on Lillith's face as she slammed the door Left Adam standing in the Garden of Eden He had a hard-on and was ready for breeding, She didn't want to but he couldn't hear She said 'cook your own meals and have a wank my dear!' |

I knew I was treading water,
And your baggage floated all around. There were no life rafts, Should I grab a suitcase? It was sink or swim to higher ground. An' I stretch between, telling you everything and nothing at all. Delilah saw the yellow flowers before us, Just in case you didn't know. They rooted for me 'cause I wore their colors, Told me not to linger, just grow. And I'm glad us girls could get over Salem, And not divide each other and not watch each other fall. And I deliver what I want you to see, Just like you have always done for me, But his can never be a war. The object of this game is to leave with equal score. And the moth and the streetlight were in their infinite tease, And Icarus shouted down from the clouds and the trees, Well, he tried to warn them both. Be careful of the fire, Be careful of the air, For he will never tire and she is rarely fair. Love's not the illusion of desire, Still he tried to break their stare, What choices will you make he said with failure in his smile. I'm sure this beauty's fake, and I'm sure this love is vile. But the moth just saw the fire, beautiful fire, Kept her warm and was fuel for her dance. The lamp marveled as she swam through the air. Is that something, was the something, maybe something there. |

Verse 1
Seven fat Englishmen sit around you on bar stools Blood red faces unaware that they're dying fast, And as this blood squeezes through their blocked arteries These farming men, drinking gin, pickling their livers It's normal here Chorus And I reach into this circle To fetch you out and I reach into this circle to fetch you out of this sticky mess of gin and blood and soil but you can't leave, gin and blood and soil but you can't leave. And as the spice girls prostitute girl power in the background On tinny speakers you smile and desperation seeps through your teeth as you laugh with them Agree with them, make business with them Cos this is you're life Verse 1 I have nowhere to take you and you have nowhere to go an I think its just too painful for you to think there's any better |

I won't get lost in you however my will wants me to
and I will feel you more if I walk now and close this door But that is not to say, that it will end that way, although I know it's out of my hands. Forever reasoning mind, knows it will never find a way to foretell how the pennies land, how the pennies land... Chorus: So I'll attempt to entertain the idea we're just not the same, I'm pushing hard against this door your breeze keeps whispering to explore There is no logic here, I'm lost in every tear and swirl with every wave that's breaking. The knots that reason weaves, unravel when your sleeves, are holding warm and soft around me.... around me (just memories now) Its not as if I can't remove you from my brain It's gonna be a surgical procedure but I, I can do it I can do it again, and again, and again... But I won't get lost in you however my will wants me to And I will feel you more if I walk now and close this door. But I won't get lost in you... But I won't get lost in you... |

Baby I must leave you soon
It's all I know how to protect myself Oh you say you wanted more And I reveal and then I shout OH Oh, I'm the fool If I can't find you anywhere And I am left here on this beach With these fruits of ours, they are rotting in the sun Come, Come to me, again This time I will give you mine Come to me, again This time... I've been quizzing all the trees One by one What they know of your alchemy, please Cause you reveal myself to me In my darkest place, you've unlocked and left my cells And disappear without a trace Come to me, again This time I will give you mine now Come to me, again This time... It's all I know how to protect myself How to protect myself |

Verse 1
We talked about loss and the patterns of past and the pieces of ourselves we'd killed over time We thought then of love, and surrendered our eyes and I looked for myself through your dissolving disguise. Chorus My breath in is your breath out, we begin and for a moment lifting this deception of being separate from you My breath in is your breath out, we walk in, into the ocean, shifting my perception of being one drop of dew Verse 2 We talked about god and the limbs on the floor, and the legalization of deviance We thought then of sense and how often its veiled, and how the machines and their components have already failed It's been years and I'm still here longing for what has always been true, life and death, us and them are two parts of one whole just misconstrued. |
