Character is what you have left when you've lost everything you can lose.

If I Ever Loose My Faith
You could say I lost my faith in science and progress
You could say I lost my belief in the holy church
You could say I lost my sense of direction
You could say all of this and worse but
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
Some would say I was a lost man in a lost world
You could say I lost my faith in the people on TV
You could say I lost my belief in our politicians
They all seemed like game show hosts to me
If I ever lose my faith in you
There'd be nothing left for me to do
I could be lost inside their lies
Without a trace
But everytime I close my eyes
I see your face
Never saw no miracle of science
That didn't go from a blessing to a curse
Never saw no military solution
That didn't end up as something worse but
Let me say this first
If I ever lose my faith in you
(If I ever lose my faith in you)
There'd be nothing left for me to do
(There'd be nothing left for me to do)
If I ever lose my faith
If I ever lose my faith
If I ever lose my faith
If I ever lose my faith...in you

As man sees woman
“Wealth is lost; nothing is lost.
Health is lost; something is lost.
Character is lost; much is lost.
Chastity is lost; nothing is left”
The last one is
A man’s perspective of a woman.

What's most interesting and most real to me in my work is to never make the role a complete character, because then you lose a part of the truth. I can't say that this person is just like this or like that. Because you can never do that with real people in real life, so if you try that on stage you lose the truth. Since I myself strive to be able to be a great many things, I also want my character to have that very same liberty. Eventually in that way it will add to a sort of completeness. But it is the story that is told that is the interesting thing and the situations the character is in. And as we humans always are shaped by a special situation or given circumstances, I can never ever say: Thus is my character.

Nothing Left To Lose
Something, something's taking over me
Shaking, bottled up inside of me
Crawling, crawling in the shadows so no one finds me
Hiding, paranoid I suffer no sleeping
I'm annoyed, I think you should shut it
Give me no attention or you'll be sorry
I've got nothing left to lose
You always get your way
Got everything to prove
I saw you turn away
Got nothing left to lose
You always get your way
Got everything to prove
You always get your way
Help me, sitting front of fire I'm melting
Don't you leave me hanging I'm burning
Can't hold on forever
I'm not that stupid
Genius cracking underneath this pressure
Sorry couldn't keep it together
I know I've got it coming, but you'll be sorry
I've got nothing left to lose
You always get your way
Got everything to prove
I saw you turn away
Got nothing left to lose
You always get your way
Got everything to prove
You always get your way
You always get your way
I won't just turn away
Save me from myself
Always get your way
Save me from myself
I've got nothing left to lose
You always get your way
Got everything to prove
I saw you turn away
Got nothing left to lose
You always get your way
Got everything to prove
You always get your way
You always get your way
I won't just turn away
You always get your way
I saw you turn away

Dumb Like That
i think i've seen every star in the sky tonight
the move from the city lights
have never seemed so bright
i know i shouldn't believe a word you say
i do anyway
'cause i'm dumb like that
in all the words i've given to you
when you smiled
i thought that it ment some thing else
you were just being yourself
being nice, your always poite to me
you let me down again
you ignored the things i've said to you
if i was scared of you
then maybe i could leave
but if i walked away right now
there would be nothing left for me to lose but doubt
i never fell so far for anyone before
never again i swore, if you know, it was restored
made me feel like i've been torn apart, i don't like that at all
i've lost contorl
in all the words i've given to you i poured my heart into an empty coffee cup
you drank it up, left me here to drown, in it all
you left me down again you ignored the things i said to you
if iwas scared of you then maybe i could leave
cause if i walked away right now
there would be nothing left for me to lose but,
i can't lose you, i can't lose you
i htink i've seen every star there can see
but i don't want to leave
it hurts when you so deceave
i know i shouldn't believe a word you say
i do any way
czuse i'm dumb like that
in all the words i've given to you when you smiled i thought that it ment something else
you were just being yourself being nice
you were always nice to me
you left me down again you ignored the things i sadi to yo
if i was scared of you then maybe i could leave
but if i left right now there would be nothing eft for me to lsoe but doubt, but doubt, but doubt
theres nothign left theres nothing left
for me to lose but doubt (x3)

You Were Everything
I can't lose what I never had
I never had you
So when you left
I lost nothing
But to lose nothing
You had to be nothing
And that's what I made you
At least in my mind
I thought of you by
Not thinking of you
Making you nothing to me
Nothing to me
Nothing to me..
Nothing to me....
You were everything.

Some mystery should be left in the revelation of character in a play, just as a great deal of mystery is always left in the revelation of character in life, even in one's own character to himself.

Failure
Maybe i, I didnt seem to have a thing left to say
I bottled it far away
Maybe i, I tried too hard to find someone to blame
Maybe its me who changed
And now, Im left with nothing again
So what if I lost everything
Would you want me if I was a failure
So what if I lost everything
Would you be there even when I am gone
Maybe i, I didnt seem to give everything away
Not because I needed you to stay, and i
I couldnt face the fears I left far behind
I try to answer every question to why
Im left with nothing again
So what if I lost everything
Would you want me if I was a failure
So what if I lost everything
Would you be there even when I am gone
Maybe you couldnt see
All the pain inside of me
And now I feel like this was all for nothing
cause Im left with nothing, Im left with nothing again
So what if I lost everything
Would you want me if I was a failure
So what if I lost everything
Would you want me if I was a failure
So what if I lost everything
Would you be there even when I am gone
So what if I lost everything
Would you want me if I was a failure

Lose It All
oh no....
Take what you need
cause I can't hold my breath
say what you feel
cause I got nothing left
I made a promise to myself last night
I'm gonna keep it
if its wrong or right
And if I lose it all
there be nothing left to lose
and I would take the fall
cause knowing you are out there breathing its so wonderful its a chance I take even if I break and I lose it all if I lose it all......
wouldn't matter anyway
Don't change a thing
perfect as you are
Time has a way
time is all I got
If my heart should shatter watching you
then there's one thing I would have to prove
And if I lose it all
there be nothing left to lose
and I would take the fall
cause knowing you are out there breathing its so wonderful its a chance I take even if I break and I lose it all if I lose it all......
wouldn't matter anyway
Heaven will be waiting
when I fall into your open arms
I believe you'll find me there
you'll find me there
And if I lose it all
there be nothing left to lose
and I would take the fall (take the fall) cause knowing you are out there breathing its so wonderful its a chance I take even if I break and I lose it all if I lose it all......
wouldn't matter anyway

Pray To God.
To pray to God no
Vigor is lost.
To wait for God no
Time is lost.
To plead to God no
Repute is lost.
To ask of God no
Breath is lost.
To move to God no
Hope is lost.
To lose to God no
Race is lost.
To obey to God no
Grasp is lost.
To hold onto God no
Desire is lost.
To believe in God no
Peace is lost.
To seek pardon of God
No virtue is lost.
So if trust in God
You will never be lost.

Nothing Left To Lose
(lead vocal - eric woolfson)
Nothings good the news is bad
The heat goes on and it drives you mad
Scornful thoughts that fly your way
You should turn away cause theres nothing more to say
You gave the best you had to give
You only had one life to live
You fought so hard you were a slave
After all you gave there was nothing left to save
Youve got nothing left to lose (youve got nothing left to lose)
No youve got nothing left to lose (whod wanna be standing in your shoes)
Nothing ventured nothing gained
No more lingering doubt remained
Nothing sacred or profane
Everything to gain
Cause youve nothing left

Lose The Fear
Bu bu bu bu, bu bu bu bu
Come back in,
As love get's thin and leaves you dry.
Found that space,
Only to owe you back inside.
You're fading like someone,
Who's given up on life.
And all you've ever left behind,
The scars that burn inside.
You're wishing for someone,
A taste of something better.
Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu,
Till it came,
Born to break in someway soon.
Lose the fear.
'Cause nothings easy in this world.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu, Lose the fear.
Bu bu bu bu,

Seema You're A Winnah
you say
you lose
everyday
you mean
you lose
yourself
and never
find it
lost as in
lost as
in really lost
yourself?
that is what
God wants
us to be
he who loses
himself
in his name
finds himself
OmG,
seema
you're a winnah!

No Fixed Address
what did I get by touching the womb of life
what comes and what goes
the tears I cried
came back as a mystic smile of life
the love sick tune of the nightingale
the burning midnight
just like a violin in tune
no nothing is left inside
I wear a song in my torn heart
loneliness o loneliness
i wear the ornament of desire
in the wide awake nights
what did I get?
what sheds and what blooms
whatever I have lost
become a malicious smell of past
I'm defeated and I lose
i build and i lose
I break and i lose
then what did I get? ?
the roots of the cut
putting it where it pains most
the mourn song of the sunbeams
and these sweet sour and bitter moments
life is not an epic
neither I'm a epic character
i just play in one scene and die in the other
yet still I put the touch of Midas
in womb of life
and I enjoy the days of self proclaimed exile
time snatched away spring from me
and never returned it back
may be some day death will take
me away to return back to life
I'm waiting! ! !

Faith
Believe in
In what Im saying
Its so much harder
When its you who is listening
When I see suspicion in your eyes
You know it hurts me
It turns my head around
No words could explain
Youve got to have faith in me
Nothing left to lose
Youve got to have faith in me
Nothing left to lose
Im gonna prove myself true to you somehow
Have faith
Deceiving
Deceiving only you
Why should I care
When it means nothing to you
When I see life coming closer
I turn and pray
Was it all in vain
Will my world change
Youve got to have faith in me
Youve nothing left to lose
Youve got to have faith in me
Youve nothing left to lose
Im gonna prove myself true to you somehow
Have faith
Oh pleasing you has proven to be
To be my weakest link yeh
But if I change no place is safe
Safe from a piece of mind
Youve got to have faith in me
Youve nothing left to lose
Please have faith in me
Youve nothing left to lose
Youve got to have faith in me
Im gonna prove myself true to you somehow
Have faith
Youve got to have faith in me

Plus Profond
It enters your veines
It enters your soul
It tries to obsess you
It looks for defaults
Try not to lose not to lose control
Try not to lose not to lose control
It tries to destroy you
It tries to tear you down
Am I lost lost in your backyard
Feel the pain
Yellow takes over
Yellow takes over
Yellow takes over
Try not to lose not to lose control x4
Ctait toujours la mme chose tu sais
Jtais dans un ?
Et aprs quelques semaines
Repeat all

Fading Into Black
her daddy drank cheap whiskey
her momma never said much
she lost her virginity
in the bed of a pickup truck
ran away at seventeen
vowed never to come back
now two abortions later
she's fading into black...
fading into black...
lost child of a forgotten God
a number without a name
with nothing left to lose
and nothing left to gain
racing down a dead end street
half crazy and nearly sane
too tired to stop the running
too numb to feel the pain
her daughters a crack whore
her son was killed in Iraq
her husband lost his job
after his second heart attack
now she's fifty and waiting tables
living in an old mill shack
food stamps and day old bread
she's fading into black...
fading into black.
lost child of a forgotten God
a number without a name
with nothing left to lose
and nothing left to gain
racing down a dead end street
half crazy and nearly sane
too tired to stop the running
too numb to feel the pain
