Adia I do believe I failed you
Adia I know I've let you down
don't you know
I tried so hard
to love you in my way
it's easy let it go

Adia I'm empty
since you left me
trying to find a way
to carry on
I search myself
and everyone
to see where
we went wrong
there's no one
left to finger
there's no one here to blame
there's no one left
to talk to honey
and there ain't no one
to buy our innocence
'Cause we are born innocent
believe me Adia
we are still innocent
it's easy we all falter
does it matter
Adia I thought that
we could make it
I know I can't change
the way you feel
I leave you with your misery
a friend who won't betray
I pull you from your tower
I take away your pain
and show you
all the beauty you possess
if you'd only
let yourself believe
'Cause we are born innocent
believe me Adia
we are still innocent
it's easy we all falter
does it matter

Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that
would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end
of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark
cold hotel room
and the endlessness
that you fear
you are pulled
from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms
of the angel
may you find
some comfort there

So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures
and thieves at your back
storm keeps on twisting
keep on building the lie
that you make up for
all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe
in this sweet madness
oh this glorious sadness
that brings me to my knees
In the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark
cold hotel room
and the endlessness
that you fear
you are pulled
from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms
of the angel

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

I will be the answer

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

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

When we first met the well was dry
A long dark winter passed us by
With shooting stars and hopeful hearts our worlds collide
And so we rushed to fill each other in

Quick to feed our hungry hopes
A feast of our affections we were born anew
With open eyes we tried to make it work
And for a while the magic took
But cracks began to show as soon as things got hard

Like paper walls our feelings tore
We threw our backs against the door
Unwilling to bear witness to the other side

Oh, the games we play to hide the tangled dread inside
The fear that we are going nowhere fast
So we point the finger out, the anger gets so loud
It drowns out all the sorrow, at least until tomorrow...what then?

I took a good hard look at how I loved
Years I squandered falling fast
For any boy who'd have me was so insecure
I'd lie awake alone at night
Full of loathing, compromised
And wondering how the hell did I end up like this

Oh, the tears of rage I cried, when nowhere could I find
An answer that made any kind of sense to me
I point the finger out, the anger gets so loud
It drowns out all the sorrow, at least until tomorrow...what then?

Oh I wanna learn, I wanna know
Will our history crush us or can we let it go?
I'm not the girl I was but what have I become?
I'm not so willing anymore to bend
Still pleasing and conceding
But I'm not gonna lose myself again

You open your eyes, look around

You feel the earth it wanders -

Out, from under your feet - the ground

Is not firm but soft and weak - like skin

Under the touch, cannot stop to falter

Now, the damage is done the certainties gone

The spirits altered

CHORUS

And now the angry morning

Gives the early signs of warning

You must face alone the plans you make

Decisions they will try to break

Our hands are tied on the table

Maybe you can try at the back door man

While the helpless line up on the doorsteps

'Cause it's all they can do to try to get through

All of your life you've lived in a world as pure

As Eden's sixth day - now all you've been allowed

Is taken away - they will not let you be so proud

And you have felt the fear growing inside

Protest follows far and wide - they'll see how long

It will take 'till you fall - from so much denied

Your soul - it aches relentless from the fear

That they will never guess - so unfair that

They can make you feel so small

And the fear you know is real

CHORUS

You open your eyes, look around

CHORUS

On the hills of fire the darkest hour
I was dreaming of my true love's pyre
Who will bring a light to stoke the fire
Fear not for you're still breathing
On a winter's day
I saw the life blood drained away
A cold wind blows on a windless day
Hear the cry for new life the morning's flame
You were the brightest light that burned too soon in vain
Who will bring you back from where there's no return
Fear not for you're just dreaming
On a winter's day
I saw the life blood drained away
A cold wind blows on a windless day

On the hills of fire the darkest hour
I was dreaming of my true love's pyre
Who will bring a light to stoke the fire
Fear not for you're still breathing
On a winter's day
I saw the life blood drained away
A cold wind blows on a windless day
Hear the cry for new life the morning's flame
You were the brightest light that burned too soon in vain
Who will bring you back from where there's no return
Fear not for you're just dreaming
On a winter's day
I saw the life blood drained away
A cold wind blows on a windless day

As the walls are closing in
And the colours fade to black
And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me
And I follow the tracks that lead me down
And I never follow what's right
And they wonder sometimes
when they see all the
Sadness and pain the truth begins to light

CHORUS
'Cause I can't see no reason
What is blind cannot see
'Cause I want what is pleasin'
All I take should be free
What I rob from the innocent ones
What I'd steal from the womb

If I cried me a river of all my confessions
Would I drown in my shallow regret
As the walls are closing in
And the colours fade to black
And the night is falling fast and deep
into the sea
And in the darkness all that I can see
The frightened and the weak
Are forced to cling to mistakes
they know nothing of
At mercy are the meek

As the walls are closing in
And the colours fade to black
And my eyes are falling fast and deep into me
And I follow the tracks that lead me down

Unravel me a distant cord
On the outside is forgotten
a constant need
To get along and
the animal awakens
And all I feel is
black and white
The road is long
the memory slides
To the whole of my undoing
Put aside I put away
I push it back to
get through each day
And all I feel is
black and white
And I'm wound up
small and tight
And I don't know who I am

Everybody loves you
when you're easy
Everybody hates
when you're a bore
Everyone is waiting
for your entrance so
Don't disappoint them
Unravel me untie this chord
The very center of our union
Is caving in I can't endure
I am the archive
of our failure
And all I feel is
black and white
And I'm wound up
small and tight
And I don't know who I am
Everybody loves you
when you're easy
Everybody hates
when you're a bore
Everyone is waiting
for your entrance so
Don't disappoint them

Blue, songs are like tattoos
You know I've been to sea betore
Crown and anchor me
Or let me sail away
Blue, here is a song for you
Ink of a pin
Underneath the skin
An empty space to fill in
Well there're so many sinking now
You've got to keep thinking
You can make it through these waves
Acid, booze, and ass
Needles, guns, and grass
Lots of laughs, lots of laughs
Well everybody's saying that hell's the hippest way to go
Well I don't think so
But I'm gonna take a look around it though
Blue, I love you

Blue, here is a shell for you
Inside you'll hear a sigh
A foggy lullaby
There is your song from me

Bring On The Wonder

I can't see the stars anymore living here
Let's go to the hills where the outlines are clear
Bring on the wonder, bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long

I fell through the cracks at the end of our street
Let's go to the beach, get the sand through our feet
Bring on the wonder, bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long
Bring on the wonder, we got it all wrong
We pushed you down deep in our souls for too long

I don't have the time for a drink from the cup
Let's rest for a while 'til our souls catch us up
Bring on the wonder, bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long
Bring on the wonder, we got it all wrong
We pushed you down deep in our souls so hang on
Bring on the wonder, bring on the song
I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long.

You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
and the dark side's light
and the vampires roam
You strut your astor wear
and your suicide poem
and a cross
from a faith that died
before Jesus came
You're building a mystery

You live in a church
where you sleep
with voodoo dolls
and you won't
Give up the search
for the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
and a smile
that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
without your shadow
getting in the way
Oh you're so beautiful
with an edge and a charm
but so careful
when I'm in your arms
Cause you're working
building a mystery
holding on
and holding it in
Yeah you're working
building a mystery
and choosing so carefully
You woke up screaming aloud
a prayer from your
secret god
You feed off our fears
and hold back your tears oh

I can't believe that you're walking away from us
Could not conceive we'd ever be done
But I feel you drifting you don't have to hide from me
I just keep hoping you let me in
Maybe I can't help but talking may, I am here for you
Time passes us by and the way we love changes
And we're learning to waltz through the waves like everyone
Let it keep us from falling
Would you dance with me now?
The candle burned out and we stumbled around in the dark
And I can feel you slipping away
The band keeps on playing the world keeps revolving
Around all the static, the noise in between
And we need to hear that song again, let the love shine through
Time passes us by and the way we love changes
And we're learning to waltz through the waves like everyone
Let it keep us from falling
Would you dance with me, dance with me now?
New walls new ladders, none of this matters
We can't walk on water, we can only do better
If its not forever, if it's time to go I will always remember
I want you to know
When you held me in your arms and said,
let the love shine through
Time passes us by and the way we love changes
And we're learning to waltz through the waves like every one
Let it keep us from falling
Would you dance with me, dance with me now?
Would you dance with me, dance with me now?

I can't believe that you're walking away from us
Could not conceive we'd ever be done
But I feel you drifting you don't have to hide from me
I just keep hoping you let me in
Maybe I can't help but talking may, I am here for you
Time passes us by and the way we love changes
And we're learning to waltz through the waves like everyone
Let it keep us from falling
Would you dance with me now?
The candle burned out and we stumbled around in the dark
And I can feel you slipping away
The band keeps on playing the world keeps revolving
Around all the static, the noise in between
And we need to hear that song again, let the love shine through
Time passes us by and the way we love changes
And we're learning to waltz through the waves like everyone
Let it keep us from falling
Would you dance with me, dance with me now?
New walls new ladders, none of this matters
We can't walk on water, we can only do better
If its not forever, if it's time to go I will always remember
I want you to know
When you held me in your arms and said,
let the love shine through
Time passes us by and the way we love changes
And we're learning to waltz through the waves like every one
Let it keep us from falling
Would you dance with me, dance with me now?
Would you dance with me, dance with me now?

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year
Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there
Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh that we could always see
Such spirit through the year

There are two of us talking in circles
And one of us who wants to leave
In a world created for only us
An empty cage that has no key
Don't you know we're working with flesh and blood
Carving out of jealousy
Crawling into each other it's smothering
Every little part of me
What kind of love is this that keeps me
Hanging on
Despite everything it's doing to me
What is this love that keeps me coming
Back for more
When it will only end in misery
I know too many people unhappy
In a life from which they'd love to flee
Watching others get everything offered
They're wanton for discovery
Oh my brother my sister my mother
You're loosing your identity
Can't you see that it's you in the window
Shining with intensity
What kind of love is this that keeps me
Hanging on
Despite everything it's doing to me
What is this love that keeps me coming
Back for more
When it will only end in misery

Dear God
Hope you got the message, and
I pray you can make it better down here
I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer
But all the people that you made in your image
See them starving on their feet
'Cause they don't get enough to eat
From God, I can't believe in you
I can't believe in you



Dear God
Sorry to disturb you, but
I feel that I should be heard loud and clear
We all need a big reduction in amount of tears
And all the people that you made in your image
See them fighting in the street
'Cause they can't make opinions meet about God
I can't believe in you
I can't believe



Did you make disease
I can't believe
And the diamond blue?
I don't believe
Did you make mankind after we made you?
I can't believe
And the devil too
I don't believe
I can't believe



Dear God
Don't know if you noticed, but
Your name is on a lot of quotes in this book
And us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look
And all the people that you made in your image still believing that junk exist
Well I know it ain't, and so do you
Dear God
I can't believe in
I don't believe in
I don't believe



I won't believe in heaven and hell
No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown
You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown
Those lost at sea and never found
And it's the same the whole world 'round
The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive
That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in



It's you

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

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

Oh, I am willing to give up this fight

What ravages of spirit
conjured this temptuous rage
created you a monster
broken by the rules of love
and fate has
led you through it
you do what you have to do
and fate has
led you through it
you do what you have to do
I have the sense
to recognize
that I don't know
how to let you go

every moment marked
with apparitions of your soul
I'm ever swiftly moving
trying to escape this desire
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
the yearning to be near you
I do what I have to do
and I have the sense
to recognize
That I don't know
how to let you go
I don't know

of existing for only you
I know I can't be with you

I do what I have to do
and I have sense
to recognize
but I don't know
how to let you go
I don't know
how to let you go

What ravages of spirit
Conjured this tempestuous rage
Created you a monster
Broken by the rule of love

And fate has led you through it
You do what you have to do

You do what you have to do

And I have the sense to recognize
That I don't know how to let you go

Every moment marked

Love has taken me for a fool
Gotten out in time to save himself, mmmm.
Shoulda known better,
But I let things slide.
I took you for granted
That you'd always be,
The one for me.
Baby I stopped tryin.

Oh, baby don't give up on us.

You don't need to be without
These loving arms

I'll hold you through your darkest hour
I'll be using all my power,
So I can reach you.
Oh my love, don't give up on us.

Am I living alone here,
Or have I turned to dust?
It hurts, it hurts to wait for just a little love.
You must… give me a sign love.
Can't you see me standing here?
Alive and well with all the hope,
You'll be, the one for me.
Baby ill keep trying.

Oh my love, don't give up on us.

Maybe the way out is here;
It went where it all begins.
We can't go on, living on a cloud
We'll never find our way home.

Oh, let me reach you, oh my love
Come on let me in.
Oh let me hold you, oh my love
Don't give up on us.

When we wore a heart of stone we wandered to the sea

Hoping to find some comfort there yearning to feel free

And we were mesmerized by the lull of the night and the smells that filled the air

And we layed us down on sandy ground it was cold but we didn't care

CHORUS

And we were drawn to the rhythm

Drawn to the rhythm of the sea

And we were drawn to the rhythm

Drawn to the rhythm of the sea

We fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night

Memories stirred inside of us the struggle and the fight

And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices telling us which way to go

And we cried out is there no escape from the words that plague us so

CHORUS

In the still and silent dawn another day is born

Washed up by the tireless waves the body bent and torn

When you wake in the face of the blinding sun and you search only to find

That heaven is a stranger place than what you've left behind

CHORUS

When we wore a heart of stone we wandered to the sea

Hoping to find some comfort there yearning to feel free

And we were mesmerized by the lull of the night and the smells that filled the air

And we layed us down on sandy ground it was cold but we didn't care

CHORUS

And we were drawn to the rhythm

Drawn to the rhythm of the sea

And we were drawn to the rhythm

Drawn to the rhythm of the sea

We fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night

Memories stirred inside of us the struggle and the fight

And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices telling us which way to go

And we cried out is there no escape from the words that plague us so

CHORUS

In the still and silent dawn another day is born

Washed up by the tireless waves the body bent and torn

When you wake in the face of the blinding sun and you search only to find

That heaven is a stranger place than what you've left behind

CHORUS

You've been gone so long all that you know
has been shuffled aside as you bask in the glow
of the beautiful strangers who whisper your name
do they fill up the emptiness?

[Chorus]
Larger than life is your fiction
In a universe made up of one
You have been drifting for so long
I know you don't want to come down
Somewhere below you, there's people who love you
And they're ready for you to come home
Please come home

You walk in a room and the world stops to stare
Mesmerize all who are caught in the glare
Of the spotlight that follows wherever you go
Does it light up the emptiness?

[Chorus]
Larger than life is your fiction
In a universe made up of one
You have been drifting for so long
I know you don't want to come down
Somewhere below you, there's people who love you
And they're ready for you to come home
Please come home

I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In the space where I can breathe
I believe there is a
Distance I have wandered
To touch upon the years of
Reaching out and reaching in
Holding out holding in
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as I can be
Left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand
I know this love is passing time
Passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire
But I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near
I believe
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand
Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
The mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see I've got
To live my life the way I feel is right for me
Might not be right for you but it's right for me
I believe
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand it
I would like to linger here in silence
If I choose to
Would you understand it
Would you try to understand

I love the time and in between
The calm inside me
In the space where I can breathe

Left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand
I know this love is passing time
Passing through like liquid
I am drunk in my desire
But I love the way you smile at me
I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near
I believe
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand
Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free
The mold that clings like desperation
Mother can't you see I've got
To live my life the way I feel is right for me
Might not be right for you but it's right for me
I believe
I believe
This is heaven to no one else but me
And I'll defend it as long as
I can be left here to linger in silence
If I choose to
Would you try to understand it
I would like to linger here in silence
If I choose to
Would you understand it
Would you try to understand

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

Morning smiles
like the face of a newborn child
innocent unknowing
Winter's end
promises of a long lost friend
speaks to me of comfort

but I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
here in this lonely place
tangled up in our embrace
there's nothing I'd like
better than to fall
but I fear I have nothing to give

Wind in time
rapes the flower trembling on the vine
nothing yields to shelter it
from above
they say temptation will destroy our love
the never ending hunger

but I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
here in this lonely place
tangled up in our embrace
there's nothing I'd like
better than to fall
but I fear
I have nothing to give
I have so much to lose
I have nothing to give
We have so much to lose...
