Jon Levin

Lost in a world that only criticizes all of my sins
Who are they to say they understand
The way that I've had to live
There was a day that we could live or die upon the sword
Of all the words we've spoken
Such a tragedy to everyone and so much more

I need to know
Are we livin' in a picture show
That these feelings that we feel are black and white

I feel that I'm comin' to the point of no return
The pyre that will show us the way
The point of no return
The vision that releases all our pain

Cast down your promises
The revolutions that I should believe
As you touch the tender face of innocence
Not mutually agreed
Send me conviction promise that all the words you say
Come from the other side
Written down only yesterday

I need to know
Are we livin' in a picture show
That these feelings that we feel are black and white

I feel that I'm comin' to the point of no return
The pyre that will show us the way
The point of no return
The vision that releases all our pain

Save me give back my soul
Hopeless world guess that I'll never know
So long into the abyss
I give myself into the point

The point of no return
The pyre that will show us the way
The point of no return
The vision that releases all our pain

there was a time
when our hearts were one
almost lost you
somewhere in the storm
wings of passion
cold and hard to bare
I remember you were standing there
standing there

as we look to the sky
watching love pass us by
one more time
we try to catch a ride
in our hopes there is a dream
sometimes lost so it seems
don't let love pass us by
this time

I remember
the tears of joy we shared
in the darkness
when I held you oh so near
like a dream
I have lost you with the dawn
in the fields standing there alone
searching for home

as we look to the sky
watching love pass us by
one more time
we try to catch a ride
in our hearts there is a dream
sometimes lost so it seems
don't let love pass us by
this time

(guitar solo)

searching for love
sometimes so hard to see
searching for love
sometimes lost in our dreams

as we look to the sky
watching love passing by
one more time
we try to catch a ride
in our hearts there is a dream
sometimes lost so it seems
don't let love pass us by
this time

Say a prayer, for the day, that you first began
All the lies, broken truth, they don't understand
Mesmerized by the world if they only knew
You kept your soul in a place that was safe for you

What will you say
When the angels come for you
What will you say
On judgment day

Don't want to live without you
You are my world, you are my life
Don't wanna be without you
On judgment day

Touch your heart, take it out, so they all can see
Now exposed to the fate of your misery
I'll sedate all the fears that you say are true
Now exposed to the ones that don't care for you

What will you say
When the angels come for you
What will you say
On judgment day

Don't want to live without you
You are my world, you are my life
Don't wanna be without you
On judgment day

(solo)

What will you say
When the angels come for you
What will you say
On judgment day

Don't want to live without you
You are my world, you are my life
Don't wanna be without you
On judgment day
Don't want to live without you
You are my world, you are my life
Don't wanna be without you
On judgment day

(end solo)

I've been wasting away
Waiting for you, you
All the things that you say but never do, you
Gotta stay away from the light
Gotta save what's left of my life
Even if it means without you

I can't live anymore inside of this empty dream
I can't live anymore without you beside me
I can't live anymore inside of this empty dream
I can't live anymore without you beside me

How can this love prevail so hard to tell it's been surreal
Still it's hard to let go after the show
Gotta save what's left of my life
Gotta save what's left of my life

I can't live anymore inside of this empty dream
I can't live anymore without you beside me
I can't live anymore inside of this empty dream
I can't live anymore without you beside me

I can't live anymore inside of this empty dream
I can't live anymore without you beside me
I can't live anymore inside of this empty dream
I can't live anymore without you beside me

Gotta stay away from the light
Gotta save what's left of my life
Even if it means without you
Even if it means without you
It means when I'm without you

How did I get to this place
My indecision put me in this hole
Deep down walking with the dead
No resurrection it's too late

Release me give me wings again
Release me let me live again
Release me let me fly again
Releases me so I can rise again
I can rise again
Release me

Shadows wrapped around my soul
Taken all my feelings
Now they're left out in the cold
So high that mountain I must climb
I hope I make it while there's time

Release me give me wings again
Release me let me live again
Release me let me fly again
Releases me so I can rise again
I can rise again
Release me

There's no more wishin' wells or fairy tales
Those days are over now
And in the dark where there's no light
It's hard to fight what you can't see

Release me give me wings again
Release me let me live again
Release me let me fly again
Releases me so I can rise again
I can rise again
Release me

How did I get to this place
My insurrection put me in this hole
Deep down walking with the dead
No resurrection it's too late

Release me give me wings again
Release me let me live again
Release me let me fly again
Releases me so I can rise again
I can rise again
Release me

On and on we go again
there seems no point of view
over, under, upside down
I don't know what to do
there used to be a passion
don't know when it slipped away
I look around at everyone
it happens everyday

I need to get off
this spinnin' merry go round
I'm upside down
No sense in talkin' 'till the morning comes
I need to feel it once again
This fire is dyin'
I cant feel it burnin' inside anymore
This fire is dyin'
I cant feel the passion that we had before, anymore

contradiction, trepidation, different points of view
sitting in a place I said I'd never go with you
given half a chance I guess I'd throw it all away
my opinion doesn't matter when there's shades of grey

I need to know what you're lookin' for
No sense in talkin' 'till the morning comes
I need to feel it once again
This fire is dyin'
I cant feel it burnin' inside anymore
This fire is dyin'
I cant feel the passion that we had before, anymore

(guitar solo)

I need the passion to live my life
live my dreams the way I like
give no reasons for what I am
I try to love you the best I can

This fire is dyin'
I cant feel it burnin' inside anymore
This fire is dyin'
I cant feel the passion that we had before, anymore

Sometimes long roads
We must travel on
It's not easy
When we walk alone
Always searchin'
To see the sun
Then your bright eyes
Bring me back home

Sometimes it's hard to see the sky
Now I know the reason why
You are my oasis
My calm within the storm
You are my oasis
Always leading me back home
When I miss you
Into the day
One more reason
To keep the faith
Give me patience
Waiting for you
Till that moment
I'll be there for you

You are my oasis
My calm within the storm
You are my oasis
Always leading me back home

Mother dear I've got to go
Find my way out in the world
Somethin's callin' me and I can't stay
As the leaves are fallin' down
Soon the snow upon the ground
Hope you'll understand why I can't stay

Waiting for the sun
When I start to run
Waiting for.......

Though I'm young not quite a man
I'll try and do the best I can
Duty calls my friends are all aboard
Feel the wind across my face
Standing ready all in place
On the trigger I'll become a man

Waiting for the sun

See the people falling down
Crimson colors all around
Tryin' to make it to the higher ground

Mother dear I had to go
Find my way out in the world
Sorry but I won't be coming home

Waiting for the sun

I played the fool it seems a thousand times before
When I got older thought I've learned my lesson well
Then you came into my life and brought me down
Another lesson towards my fate

I feel like I've been standin' on the sun
Your fire burned my soul like no ones ever done

You can say what you want but don't bring me down
If you want me to play in your garden
Then don't bring me down
Baby if you want my love
Then don't bring me down

Your hyperstatic conversation till the dawn
It makes me tired but I see it turns you on
A tense relationship was all you've ever known
I tried to play but now it cuts me to the bone

I look into your eyes a thousand years away
For my compassion all I got was tears
I feel like I've been standing on the sun
Your fire burned my soul like no one's ever done
