What Does It Take?

what does it take
to turn the key,
to unlock the door,

to get you to come in?
what does it take
to heal the wounds,

to take the load off your back,
to release you from your chains?
what does it take

to free the tears,
to break down the barriers,
to give you back your breath?

what does it take,
to find forgiveness,
both going and coming....

what does it take?

Release Me

I know that its time for a change
Mmm but when that change comes
Will you still feel the same?
How many times have I tried to turn this love around?
I dont want to give up
But baby its time I had two feet on the ground
Can you release me
Can you release me
Now that youre gone I cant help myself from wondering
Oh, if youd have come down from your high
Would weve been all right?
Release me
Can you release me
Chorus:
Come on baby, come on baby
You knew it was time to just let go
cause we want to be free
But somehow its just not that easy
Come on darlin, hear me darlin
cause youre a waste of time for me
Im trying to make you see
That baby youve just got to release me
Release me
Release me
Im not going back to you anymore
Finally my weakened heart is healing though very slow
So stop coming around my door
cause youre not gonna find
What youre looking for
(chorus)
What is this power youve got on me
What is this power, oh
What is it,what is it
(chorus)
Release me
Will you release me
Ah...release me
Will you release me

Cycle Of Despair

Don't let your eyes close
Don't let the light dim
Don't let your wounds heal
Don't try and stop the end

Take another hit
Have another shot
Take another swing
Man, it's getting hot

Feed the demon once again
Stability in continuity
No reason to hold back now
You know you cannot beat me

Just one more turn
In this cycle of despair
I am with you at every turn
Where you are; there I am

My wind tears the clothes from your back
My breath sucks out your soul
Around that corner there is no return
Your heart will soon be black as coal

Try to hold onto the good
While I scribble it out
Another unholy union
That is what it's all about

Feed the demon once again
Hit her again for me
No reason to hold back now
You have now become mo

Just one more turn
In this cycle of despair
Look in the mirror, friend
Where you are; there I am

Un-Break My Heart

Un-break my heart,
Become part of me again,
You broke my heart and never fixed it,
Leaving a hole that sucked in my soul,
My days grow darker and my life grows shorter,
And yet you are no where to be found,

Please un-break my heart,
And say you will love me again,
Un-do all this hurt that you have caused,
When you walked out of my life,
Help me to un-cry these tears,
That i cried over you so many nights,
Please un-break my heart,

take away this pain,
that's slowly killing my soul,
darkening my days,
And creating a back hole,
please heal these stab wounds,
You've caused with your words,
Heal these scars on my heart,
That have become a part of me,
They are threatening to re-open,
Threatening to cause more pain and hurt,

Please father Un-break my heart,
Walk through the door,
The door i often sit in front,
Waiting for your return,

I need your love,
I need you,
I need your arms around me,
And for you to never let go of me,
You brought darkness into my life the moment you walked out,
So please bring back the light,

Back Door Man

Im every man here in disguise
Lie cheat and give you a spoonful of lies
Im a high toned mother with an axe to grind
Come a little closer honey, see what you find
Your worst nightmares all rolled in one
Ill find you sure as the rising sun
Dont make a noise its understood
cos this aint no story like red riding hood
Im your back door man, Im your back door man oh yeah
Im your back door man, come on babe, and Ill take you where I can
Systematically I choose at will
But with you theres an obscene thrill
Its funny now how you cant say no
Its the smell of fear that you love so
Im your back door man, Im your back door man, oh yeah,
Im your back door man baby, just take it where you can
This first kiss has a touch of ice
Now hows that feel, it aint so nice
Blackhearted mamma Ive something new
Oh lord look what Ive turned into
[instrumental]
Im your back door man, Im your back door man
Im your back door man, Im your back door man
