Coming-Age Dawn

Build then destroy it
Paint then smear it
Fold then tear it
Love then break it
Nurse then neglect it
Cure then poison it
Save then spill it
Give then steal it
Sharpen then fade it
Raise then curse it
Don’t make it half-heart
Get finish what's clouded
And after that
What would left in me?

Year Zero

Be a hero
Kill your ego
It doesn't matter it's all just a pack of lies
Build a new base
Steal a new face
It doesn't matter it's all just to save you
We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away

I will stand by your ground
I will tear down myself
I won't fade

Year zero
Another hero
Is anybody alive here across the line?
Buy a new face
Start a new race
It doesn't matter it's all just to save your face
It's all just to save you
It's all just to save your face
It's all just to save you

We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away

I will stand by your ground
I will tear down myself
I will stand by your ground
I will tear down myself
I won't fade
I won't fade

We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away

We'll never fade away
We'll never fade away (We will never fade away)
We'll never fade away (We will never fade away)
We'll never fade away (We will never fade away)
We'll never fade away (We will never fade)
We'll never fade away (We will never fade away)
We'll never fade away (We will never fade)
We'll never fade away

Fade To Black

You can break my heart
but it is a heart
only you can fix.

You can cut me with a word
but ironically
only your words can heal.

You can walk away
and you can come back.

I can talk insistently
but you can sooth
my rough talk.

I sometimes curse the thought of you
and you can make that curse turn to honey.

Solving this dilemma though
only I can do that.

Only I can pick up this canvass
look at the scene
and paint you out.

Only I can go to my mental closet
of memories
take out your mental photograph
and make it fade to black.
Only I can do that.

And I will one day;
just not today.

I still want
you back.

I still want
you back.

Not ready
to fade
to black.

Give Me Your Heart To Break

Give me your heart to break
And your freedom to take
Read my lips and be scared
dropp on your knees and beg

Give me your heart to break
Let's make a big mistake
Give no damn for your sake
Whether it's wrong or insane

Give me your heart to break
Spark your light and fade
I want your world to shake
Forget the dull life to share

Give me your heart to break
Give your reason to the dead
Find all the love is faked
Drown you in the cruelest hate

Give me your heart to break
Put the best fight at stake
Before the mask is cracked
Reveal your dangerous state

Give me your heart to break
For my soul that tainted black
Don't resist facing your fate
So we can end it without regret

Give me your heart to break
Dare yourself to play back
When night is the silence we make
Don't disturb it before we awake

Build You Up

Baby don't believe it
Oh, it's in your eyes
I can see the weakness
You don't have to hide
I can take you under
Under my wing
cause your voice gives me a song
That I love to sing
Baby, they build you up
Only to tear you down
Don't give up
Baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it
Baby they build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing
You were just a child
Ready to explore
And everything you saw
Looked like an open door
A place you can remember
You'd love to go back
But you can't even comprehend
That it's all in the past
Baby they build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing
Baby they build you up
Only to tear you down
Baby don't believe it, baby don't believe it
Oh, it's good for nothing
Put your heart in my hands and I won't hurt you
Put your heart in my hands
I promise not to
I'll lift you up, you'll fly away, I'll lift you up, lift you up
I'll never build you up, only to tear you down
Baby just believe it, baby just believe it, it's good for something
I'll never build you up, only to tear you down, oh it's good for nothing
And I love you the way you are

Spiderbite Song

When you got that spiderbite on your hand
I thought we would have to break up the band
To lose your arm would surely upset your brain
The poison then could reach your heart from a vein
I was glad that it didn't destroy you
How sad that would be
Cos if it destroyed you
It would destroy me
When you had that accident in your car
That whole thing just really seemed too bizarre
Dodging holes and telephone poles through the dash
A million to one that you could survive such a crash
I was glad that it didn't destroy you
How sad that would be
Cos if it destroyed you
It would destroy me
When you fell in love it was so sweet
So devoted, completely swept off your feet
Love is the greatest thing our heart can know
But the hole that it leaves in its absence can make you feel so low
I was glad that it didn't destroy you
How sad that would be
Cos if it destroyed you
It would destroy me

She Don't Love You

She don't love you like i love you
Cause if she did she wouldn't break your heart
She don't love you like i love you
She's tryin' to tear us apart
Fairly well i know you're leavin'
For the new love that you found
The pretty girl that you've been dating
Oh i've got a feeling she's gonna put you down
Cause she don't love you like i love you
Cause if she did she wouldn't break your heart
She don't love you like i love you
She's tryin' to tear us apart
She uses all the great quotations
She says all the things i wish i could say
But she's had so many rehearsals
Oh, to her it's just a lover's play
But wait when the final act is over
And you're left standin' all alone
When she takes her bow and makes her exit
Oh, well i'll be there to take you home
She don't love you like i love you
Cause if she did she wouldn't break your heart
She don't love you like i love you
She's tryin' to tear us apart

Anything For My Baby

Anything for my baby
I would steal anything for my baby
Id wheel and deal anything for my baby
Oh
Im in love and it feels so good
cause I need her, dont mistreat her
And I tell her so
When I saw her and she looked my way
I was lonely, shes my only
And Ive gotta say that
I would steal anything for my baby
Id wheel and deal anything for my baby
Crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
In the morning when I raise my head
Shes beside me, she can hide me
When Im feelin low
If Im thinkin everythings all wrong
My girl shakes me, she awakes me
Then I really know that
I would steal anything for my baby
Id wheel and deal anything for my baby
Crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
Dont you know that
I would steal anything for my baby
I would wheel and deal anything for my baby
I would crawl or kneel, anything for my baby
Id do anything
I would give anything for my baby
I would die or live, anything for my baby
I would t-t-t-t-take or give anything for my baby
Yes, I would take anything for my baby
I would build or break anything for my baby
I would rob or take anything for my baby
I would do anything for my baby
I would steal anything for my baby
I would wheel and deal

Playin' The Loser Again (feat. Bill Withers)

Don't break my heart again
Let it end
You don't love me.
Don't make me start again
This achin in my heart.
Don't make me hope again
Knowin when you've grown tired of me
That you'll just disappear
And leave me waiting here
Playing the loser again.
Don't give me hope
And take it away,
Cause I'll show my weakness
And beg you to stay.
Don't give me something to build all around
Then just for a thrill, you tear it all down.
Don't make me dream again
It's a sin to make love to me
And then just disappear
And leave me waiting here
Playing the loser again.
Don't give me hope
Then take it away
Cause I'll show my weakness
And beg you to stay
Dont' give me something to build all around
And just for a thrill, you tear it all down.
Don't make me hope again
Knowing when
You've grown tired of me
That you'll just disappear
And leave me waiting here
Playing the loser again.

To Be Or Not To Be

You build me up , you let me down
How can I love , you give me no ground
To be or not to be , to be ore not to be
Am I gonna have you for me
One little light I saw before
The light in your eyes, I dont see no more
To be or not to be , to be or not to be
Am I gonna have you for me , well
(break)
Give me a chance . make up your mind
Give me romance . tell me youre mine
To be or not to be ,well, to be or not to be
Am I gonna have you for me , well

Well, to be or not to be
Well, to be or not to be
To be or not to be
Am gonna have you for me

Only Love Knows Why

One more sad tomorrow
And Im not very good at hiding my sorrow
Its not the same without you
So alone and so afraid
I thought we had it made
What about us, what about the way
We were so in love, when we were together
I thought youd never leave
Now I know this time youre gone forever
Only love can break your heart
Fill you with desire
And tear you all apart
Only love can make you cry
Only love knows why
One more night without you
Im just trying to pretend that youre coming back again
You know I never meant to doubt you, oh no
We were young and we were free
Now I cant believe this has happened to me
What about us, what about the way
We were so in love, when we were together
Only love can break your heart
Fill you with desire
And tear you all apart
Only love can make you cry
Only love knows why
Gonna be a long hard road without you
And theres one thing you should know
Tell me who will I turn to
When I get in trouble
I really dont want you to go, no
Tell me who can I turn to
When I get in trouble
Baby please dont leave me
Cant you see you must believe me
Only love can break your heart
Fill you with desire
And tear you down, the minute that you fall apart
Only love can make you cry
Only love knows why, oh no
Only love can tear you down
Only love knows why, oh no
Only love will make you cry

My hate has created your love

With your happiness comes my peace. Finally the pain will cease. You clinged like a disease. Not willing to let go. But now i know. I am happy for you. Please work, please break the curse. Don't make it worse. Help the fallen, cure the sick, get rid of all the bad habits. Being so demanding has brought me the answer. I have been so longing. Fighting so something so great can take hold. Letting go so i never follow down the same road. Distraction of attraction. Let love numb everything. Making it all better with an unsigned letter. A past of heart ache. Watching the new flowers blossom. Not all intentions are same. Rules of the game. Hurt to help. A twist in fate. Can anyone relate. Rest your head. With magic from god above. Sometimes we all need a push or shove. Whats best for you isn't always best for me. Sometimes in chaos comes harmony. Beautiful is hate when it creates such things. The passion, the driving force that can destroy can also build. It just a matter of how its used.

Dry

Trying hard to face another day
No more left to give, nothing left to break
Melting in the sun, breathing in the day
Falling into love and climbing out again
Theres nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The rivers running dry
Theres no more left to give
Love has left me dry
Reaching out beneath a sea of pain
Riding high on waves of hope again
Chipping as the stone face cracks away
Crying out again as my bones break
Theres nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The rivers running dry
Theres no more left to give
Love has left me dry
Why is every minute like a year
What if we could save ourselves from this
Life is such a bitch and it gets worse
Fate is like a rope around your neck
Theres nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The rivers running dry
Theres no more left to give
Love has left me dry - love has left me dry
The rivers running dry again

Love Can Build A Bridge

I'd gladly walk across the desert
With no shoes upon my feet
To share with you the last bite
Of bread I had to eat
I'd would swim out to save you
In your sea of broken dreams
When all your hopes are sinking
Let me show you what love means
Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time?
Don't you think it's time?
I would whisper love so loudly
Every heart could understand
That love and only love
Can join the tribes of man
I would give my heart's desire
So that you might see
The first step is to realize
That it all begins with you and me
Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time?
Don't you think it's time?
When we stand together
It's our finest hour
We can do anything, anything
Anything, anything
Keep believin' in the power
Love can build a bridge
Between your heart and mine
Love can build a bridge
Don't you think it's time?
Don't you think it's time?
Love and only love
Love and only love

Poison In The Well

[ music: dennis drew/words: natalie merchant ]
Tell me whats gone wrong.
I tilt my head there, under the faucet, but when I turn it on -- dry as paper.
Call the neighbors.
Whos to blame for whats going on?
In the dark without a clue Im just the same as you.
O, they tell us theres poison in the well,
That someones been a bit untidy and theres been a small spill.
Not a lot, no, just a drop.
But there you are mistaken, you know you are.
I wonder just how long they knew our well was poisoned but they let us just drink on.
O, they tell us theres poison in the well,
That someones been a bit untidy and theres been a small spill.
All that it amounts to is a tear in a salted sea.
Someones been a bit untidy, theyll have it cleaned up in a week.
But the week is over and now its grown into years since I was told that I should be calm, theres nothing to fear here.
But I drank that water for years, my wife and my children.
Tell me, where to now, if your fight for a bearable life can be fought and lost in you backyard?
O, dont tell us theres poison in the well,
That someones been a bit untidy, that theres been a small spill.
All that it amounts to is a tear in a salted sea.
Someones been a bit untidy, theyll have it cleaned up in a week.

Be Careful Of My Heart

You and your sweet smile
You and your tantalizing ways
You and your honey lips
You and all the sweet things that they say
You and your wild wild ways
One day you just up and walked away
You left me hurting
But I can forgive you for that now
You taught me something
Something took half my life to learn
When you give all yourself away
Just tell them to be careful of your heart
Be careful of my heart heart
Be careful of this heart of mine
Be careful of my heart heart
It just might break and send some splinters flying
Be careful of my heart heart
Be careful
You you you
You you you
You you you
Took my love
Thought you took it all
You you you
You you you
You you you
Took my love
And now youre gone
But Im not breaking down
And Im not falling apart
I just lost a little faith
When you broke my heart
Given a chance
I might try it again
But I wouldnt risk it all this time
Id save
A little love for myself
Enough for my heart to mend
A little love for myself
One day I just might love again
One day some sweet smile might turn my head
One day I just might give all myself away
One day
One day
One day

Our Childrens Legacy - This Ruined Earth

In that dreamlike state we call living
We give in to desires of the flesh
We take without thought, without giving
until there is nothing left
We destroy all the land round about us
We'll destroy the balance of life
Barren wastes will lie deserted
Whilst we still cause trouble and strife
We have no thoughts of the future
Our childrens legacy, a barren land
So pollute and destroy, build and bomb
leave no green land, just atomic sand
Tear down the trees, concrete it over
after all, WE won't be around that long.

Really Mystified

He will break your heart, if you go with him.
Tear it all apart, and that would be a sin.
Im really mystified, I even sat right down and cried.
Im the one that needs you, I love you constantly.
Answer me, I need you, Im waitnig patiently.
Im really mystified, I even sat right down and cried.
Darling, if I let you go by, Ill be living in a dream of emptiness.
The feeling in my heart, my mind and my soul, if you would surely cure my loneliness.
He will break your heart, if you go with him.
Tear it all apart, and that would be a sin.
Im really mystified, I even sat right down and cried.
Darling, if I let you go by, Ill be living in a dream of emptiness.
The feeling in my mind, my heart and my soul, if you would quickly cure my loneliness.
He will break your heart, if you go with him.
Tear it all apart, and that would be a sin.
Im really mystified, I even sat right down and cried.
Ooh yeah, mystified.
Really mystified.
Really mystified.

Night Nurse

Tell her try her best just to make it quick
Woman tend to the sick
Because there must be something she can do
This heart is broken in two
Tell her its a case of emergency
Theres a patient by the name of mickey
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse oh god
Oh the pain is getting worse
I dont want to see no doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because theres no prescription for me
Shes the one the only remedy
My night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
Im hurt my love
I dont want to see no doc
I need attendance from my nurse around the clock
Because there s no prescription for me
Shes the one the only remedy
Night nurse
Only you alone can quench this here thirst
My night nurse
Oh the pain is getting worse
Im hurt my love
And Im sure no no doctor got a cure
My night nurse
My night nurse

Bittersweet Lament

We must build a man, my son
A strong and vibrant one,
With bones enriched with calcium
To bleach white in the sun.

We must build a man, my son
A healthy, stalwart man...
Whose blood is rich and red and ripe
To paint some far-off sand.

Yes, we must give the best, my son
The "lead sheep' of our fold.
So clean your plate and drain your cup
Try not to catch a cold

For we must build a man, my son
With serums, vitamins and oil
For the blood you shed must be the best
That e'er darkened foreign soil!
