Understanding
How people tell you lies. I thought you felt the same.
Somehow I thought youd be there.
Help him beat me down, again. its all I know.
So you want for me, some things we never see.
Left alone to fill time.
So empty all your thoughts now, turn around your hate,
Take a look at me. hang on security.
Its all been overated, this life you live, its not your own.
Theres no one here to help you.
Its all been un-adulterated lies, theyll keep telling you.
Theyll keep telling you, how I want to...
Raise it on my own, nothing special maybe, nothing special lately.
Time to feel it on your own, time you want to take control.
Control.
So youve told them all, I thought you looked the same!
Do you read this light to help you see it clearer again.
Closer to my letter, open up for some to breed,
Youre sharper these days, toll on security.
Its all been overated, this life to live, its not your own.
Theres no one here to help you.
And its all been un-adulterated lies, theyll keep telling you.
Theyll keep telling you, how I want to...
Riase it on my own, nothing specialal lately, nothing special maybe.
Time nto feel it on your own, time you want to take control.
No now fall, call for me to fall for.
Everybody wants to tell you something,
Everybody wants to fill you, nothing.
Everybody wants to break you out now,
Everybody wants to be be you out now.
And everybody wants to tell you, and everybdoy wants to fill you in.
Do you think its time to tell them?
Yes I think its time you shove them a little harder
Yes I think its time that you pushed them over
Dont you think its time you told them stop!
Raise it on my own no, no, time to your souless lately.
Everybody wants to tell you something,
Everybody wants to bring you something,
Everybody wants to take you,
And everybdoy wants to bring you down,
Time you feel it in your own, time you let them take control,
Time to fill their needs, so empty all your thoughts my friend.
For everybdoy wants to break you,
And everybody wants to you push you around...

Time To Go On
its time to go on
say our goodbyes
time to stop
telling these lies
its time to go on
the game was fun
its over now
and you won
its time to go on
get on with your life
time to leave
go to your wife
its time to go on
you've cause enough pain
time to go
nothing left to gain
its time to go on
nothing more to say
its time now
have a nice day

Vague
Chemicals keep me under control (Repeat 4x)
Sleeping at the wheel. I cant feel my face.
Maybe its better this way.
My stomachs twisted, all tied up in knots.
And Im feeling like I dont want this.
Killing time as the clock goes tick tock, tick tock.
Theyll never keep you away from me.
I know where youll be tomorrow.
What difference does it make to you?
I dont care, aint got the time.
Winning the race for another line.
Its written in my mind.
Just to get it all away from me.
Away from me.
Cause I think Im falling.
[ Segment 1 ]
Cause I think Im falling.
Falling out of touch with life.
And Im thinking its all just a big mistake.
I think Im falling.
Falling, out of touch with life.
So what have I been telling myself?
[ Chorus ]
Must be the rage deep down inside of me.
Eating me away. Eating me away.
Feelings are so vague, so wrong.
So what have I been telling myself?
So Ive been chosen to be the victim of your misery.
Thats right Im frozen. Chemicals keep me under control.
So cold from all the ice and amphetamines.
That I just might make you think that Jesus was your middle name.
As though it seems to be an act of God.
But for now go ahead and believe what you want to believe.
Cause I think Im falling.
[ Repeat Segment 1 ]
[ Repeat Chorus ]
Myself. (Repeat 8x)
You know what kills me?
Chemicals keep me under control. (Repeat 15x)
Why is everybody hooked on...
When you feel so desperate you got your grip on me.
I take away all the trust and all the sympathy.
Why is everybody hooked on everybody else.
Ill guess Ill never understand it.
Come and fill your head with lies.
No I cant explain.
Why everyone seems so vague.
[ Repeat Chorus ]
Feelings are so vague.
So what have I been telling myself?
[ Repeat Chorus ]
Deep inside its eating me away.
Feelings are so vague. Feelings are so vague.

Time After Time
Time after time, time after time
The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
(time after time)
From far away there comes a warning sound
And no one listens but its all around
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
Chorus: time after time, no hiding anywhere
Time after time, the visions in the air
Time after time, they come from everywhere
(time after time)
Time after time
Just listen to the sirens of the world
They breathe a whisper waiting for the word
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
(time after time)
Time after time it is the same old story
Another footstep on the trail of glory
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
Chorus
The beauty of the earth from way up high
Shines like a jewel on the velvet sky
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
Chorus
Emit retfa emit, no hiding anywhere
Emit retfa emit, no visions in the air
They come from everywhere

The Way You Are
The Way You Are
Sometimes you ignore me
Sometimes you roll your eyes
Sometimes you don't notice me
And just give me a deep sigh
Sometimes you make me cry
Sometimes you make me weep
Sometimes when I pass by
I just give you the creeps
Sometimes you boss me around
Sometimes you tell me what to do
Sometimes I go round and round
Just to please and satisfy you
BUT...
Most of the time you make me happy
Most of the time you give me smiles
Most of the time you make me feel uneasy
I can hear my heart beat through miles
Most of the time you raise me up
Most of the time you encourage me
Most of the time you fill me up
Fill me up with overflowing glee
Most of the time you hold me tight
Most of the time you lift me up so high
Most of the time you teach me what's right
You make me fly way into the sky
Most of the time you are my support
Most of the time you are my light
Most of the time you give me comfort
You help me with all your might
Sometimes you make me hate you
Most of the time I just hide it inside
Sometimes you make me want to kill you
But most of the time, I just want you by my side
Sometimes...
Most of the time...
Sometimes...
Most of the time...
That's just the way it is
That's just the way you are
But I love the way it is...
And I certainly love...
The way you are

Sick & Tired
I feel it, there's tension inside of me
Pressure is presently pushing down on me
The first time it starts with just you and I'm
Repeating myself but you don't hear me
I can see what you see
But is it worth it to me?
The same old conversation
Over and over and over
I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you're surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, it's over
You've taken these things that belong to me
Twisted so tightly and torn so carefully
The last time it ends with just you and I
Alone in a room with these torn bed sheets
I can see what you see
And it ain't worth it to me
The same old conversation
Over and over and over
I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you're surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, it's over
You swore that I'd regret it
Now thanks to you I can't forget it
Cost of this constant battle
Won't even miss you at all
Free from those lies that you call...
I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you're surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, It's over
I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you're surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, It's over

A Time For Now
a time to cheer, a time to cry,
a time to live, a time to die,
a time to sleep, a time to wake,
a time for real, a time for fake,
a time for truth, a time to lie,
a time to laugh, a time to sigh,
a time to stand, a time to fall,
a time for one, a time for all,
a time for love, a time for hate,
a time to run, a time to wait,
a time to stay, a time to flee,
a time for you, a time for me.

Become (To Tell)
Ill get so close to you
Ill let you down my friend
You see it in this face
And hear it in these words
And I begin to know, and I begin to feel,
Everything Ive wanted
And I become a man through you
You find out my needs, this separation,
Push away everything and anyone connected,
To you needs and to your life and to your ties
Ill push it all away,
I said its all right there for you now
Hey I said its all right there for you to tell
Ill let you down my friend, Ill turn my back to you
I never meant to leave you, never meant to leave your room
You began alone, and youve begun again, all I wanted for you
I become alive through you,
Can you feel this constant resurrection of needs,
Im sorry for those things I meant to help you, and I meant to fill you,
And Ill always let you down,
And Ill always put you out,
Ill push it all away,
I said its all right here for you now
Hey I said its all right there for you to tell
Thought to feel it in your life
Thought to take your time to grow
I was sent to be here, left to hurt you,
This time its sad, youve gone
Hey I said its all right there for you now
Hey I said its all right there for you too
Hey I said its all right there for you now
Thought to feel it in your life
Thought to take your time to grow

Sonnet - God's Time Is Best
There is a time to play, a time to read;
There is a time to work, a time to rest;
There is a time to plough, a time to seed;
But when it is God's time, it is the best.
There is a time to laugh, a time to cry;
There is a time for self, a time for guest;
There is a time to stop, a time to try;
But when it is God's time, it is the best.
There is a time to eat, a time to bake;
There is a time to fly, a time to nest;
There is a time to break, a time to make;
But when it is God's time, it is the best.
There is a time to learn, a time to test;
But when it is God's time, it is the best.

Sweet Sugar
(over importance of money)
Ive no time for boring things
Theres no religion
That can make my heart sing, no
They call me up
Say: hey come on down
Weve got credit salvation
All over town
And I can see it everywhere I go
I can hear it on my radio
They keep telling me its alright
But theres one thing
I dont need tonight
Is their sweet sugar, poison wine
I dont need these things
To make me feel fine
Sweet sugar, poison wine
Just need your love girl, every time
We dont need these
Pointless things
We just need to mend
Our broken wings
Take a look, a look
Whats going down
Weve gotta stop
Before we hit the ground
Yeah, we can have it
Dont you know
Take part in their tv show
Theyll keep telling us its alright
But theres one thing
I dont need tonight
You cant fool me
Its a waste of time
Youre selling tears
Down the credit card line, yeah
But giving up is not
Their frame of mind
Theyll find a way
To break us in time
Yeah, I can meet you
Everywhere I go
And I can hear you on my radio
You keep telling me its alright
But theres one thing
I dont need tonight
Is your sweet sugar, poison wine
I dont need these things
To make me feel fine
Sweet sugar, poison wine
I just need your love girl, every time
Sweet sugar, poison wine
I dont need these things
To make me feel fine
Sweet sugar, poison wine
Just gimme your love girl
Gimme your love, gimme your love
Sweet sugar, poison wine
I need your love girl
Yeah, all the time
Sweet sugar, poison wine
I just need you girl, everytime

The Clairvoyant
Feel the sweat break on my brow
Is it me or is ir the shadows that are dancing on the walls
Is this a dream or is it now
Is this a vision or normality I see before my eyes
I wonder why I wonder how
That it seems the powers getting stronger every day
I feel a strength an inner fire
But Im scared I wont be able to control it anymore
Theres a time to live and a time to die
When its time to meet the maker
Theres a time to live but isnt it strange
That as soon as youre born youre dying
Just by looking through your eyes
He could see the future penetrating
Right in through your mind
See the truth and see your lies
But for all his power couldnt foresee his own demise
Theres a time to live and a time to die
When its time to meet the maker
Theres a time to live but isnt it strange
That as soon as youre born youre dying...
... and reborn again? ?

No Matter How Long You Are Not Here
an unwritten soul said...
so no matter how long
you are not here
it is about time and just
cherish your time
with what you need to do
I will not ask
to get to take your time
use your time
fill your time with enjoyment
fill time with life
fill time with the bending space
time is spacious...
so no matter how long
you are not here
it is about time fill time
with love given

Knowing Me, Knowing You
No more carefree laughter
Silence ever after
Walking through an empty house, tears in my eyes
Here is where the story ends, this is goodbye
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this time were through
(this time were through, this time were through
This time were through, were really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
Its the best I can do
Memries (memries), good days (good days), bad days (bad days)
Theyll be (theyll be), with me (with me) always (always)
In these old familiar rooms children would play
Now theres only emptiness, nothing to say
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
There is nothing we can do
Knowing me, knowing you (ah-haa)
We just have to face it, this time were through
(this time were through, this time were through
This time were through, were really through)
Breaking up is never easy, I know but I have to go
(I have to go this time
I have to go, this time I know)
Knowing me, knowing you
Its the best I can do

Time Heals all
when my brother had a bad car crash and nearly died
i was told to give it time
time heals all
one after another my four grandparents died
i was told to give it time
time heals all
when a mates brother hung himself
i was told to give it time
time heals all
when my friend turned her back and distroyed my life
i was told to give it time
time heals all
when i got epilepsy and lost peoples trust
i was told to give it time
time heals all
when i got depressed and lost control of my life
i was told to give it time
time heals all
i gave it time
but i'm not healed
so when dose time help
when do people stop relying on time
and get off there butts and help
cause time dosen't heal all on its own
Live & Let Live
You been holding back
And I know youre afraid to feel
Some one hurt you long ago
And the wounds just did not heal
You never shed a tear
You had to keep control
So the wounds kept spreading
Until they got down in your soul
Dont you think its time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Been holding onto anger
Now its got a hold on you
And bitterness keeps growing
Affecting everything you do
Time to break the chains
You could slip them off today
Its time to make some changes
Before your whole life slips away
Dont you think its time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Dont you think its time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live
Dont you think its time
Time to forgive
Leave the past behind
Live and let live

There Is a Time To.....
There is.......
A time to write,
A time to listen,
A time to learn,
A time to play,
A time to read,
A time to see,
A time to lead,
A time to sleep,
A time to be happy,
A time to be mad,
A time to be silly,
A time to be sad.
A time to wake,
A time to stay,
A time to talk,
A time to walk.
A time to help,
A time to hurt,
A time to scheme,
A time to dream,
A time to make a difference,
A time to love,
A time to try,
A time to die
A time to wonder,
A time to want,
A time to live,
A time to do something.
There is always going to be a time,
But will you do something when that time comes?

First Time We Fall In Love
How well I remember my very first love affair.
Those juvenile fantasies and innocent dreams we shared.
But were too blind to realize that we are totally unprepared
For the first time we fall in love.
We think its forever, the first time we fall in love.
We always treasure the first time we fall in love.
Those other romances come and go,
But we cherish the memory of
The first time we fall in love.
First love can be such a strain.
It can rule your head, it can bring you pain,
And when it ends it seems such a shame.
The first time we fall in love,
Can make you sad, it can keep you awake,
It can drive you mad.
People say youre too young and its only a fad
The first time we fall in love.
The first time we fall in love.
The first time I fell out of love, it knocked me through the floor.
My world came crashing down, it shook me to the core.
I was unprepared cos I was only a kid
And I was much too young and I wasnt equipped
For the emotional pressures and stresses of it.
But oh, Ill never forget
The way that she looked the first time we met.
Time goes by but we never forget
The first time we fall in love.
Love can be exciting, it can be a bloody bore.
Love can be a pleasure or nothing but a chore.
Love can be like a dull routine,
It can run you around till youre out of steam.
It can treat you well, it can treat you mean,
Love can mess you around,
I can pick you up, it can bring you down.
But theyll never know
The feelings we show
The first time we fall in love.
The first time we fall in love.

Rudy
Rudys on a train to nowhere, halfway down the line
He dont wanna get there, but he needs time
He aint sophisticated, nor well-educated
After all the hours he wasted, still he needs time.
He needs time - he needs time for livin,
He needs time - for someone just to see him.
He aint haid no lovin
For no reason or rhyme
And the whole worlds above him.
Well its not as though hes fat-
No theres more to this than that-
See he tries to play it cool-
Wouldnt be nobody fool.
Rudy thought that all good things comes to those that wait
But recently he could see that it may come too late.
All through your life, all through the years
Nobody loved, nobody cared.
So dim the light, dark are your fears
Try as I might, I cant hold back the tears
How can you live without love, its not fair?
Someone said give but I just didnt dare.
What good advice are you waiting to hear?
Hearings alright for them thats all there
Youd better gain control now
Youd better showem all now
Youd better make or break now
Youd better give and take now
Youll have to push and shove now
Youll have to find some love now
Youd better gain control now.
Now hes just come out the movie.
Numb of all the pain,
Sad but in a while hell soon be
Back on his train...

Comes A Time
Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says dont you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe.
Dont give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill,
Only love can fill.
Been walking all morning went walking all night
I cant see much difference between the dark and light
And I feel the wind and I taste the rain
Never in my mind to cause so much pain.
Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says dont you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe.
Dont give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill,
Only love can fill.
From day to day just letting it ride.
You get so far away from how it feels inside.
You cant let go cause youre afraid to fall,
But the day may come when you cant feel at all.
The words come out like an angry stream.
You hear yourself say things you could never mean.
When you cool down you find your mind.
You got a lot of words youve got to stand behind.
Comes a time when the blind-man takes your hand, says dont you see?
Gotta make it somehow on the dreams you still believe.
Dont give it up, you got an empty cup only love can fill,
Only love can fill, only love can fill, only love can fill.

This is the last time....
This is the last time
The last time you will ever see me
The last time I will look into your eyes
The last words we’ll ever exchange
And the last memory I have of you
This is the last time…
The last time I believe your sweet lies
The last time I remember our past
The last time I thank you for your friendship
And the last time I hate you for leaving me
This is the last time…
The last time I blame myself for this broken heart
The last time I cry over you
The last time I feel our past happiness slipping away
And the last time I see you as anything more than a stranger
This is the last time…
The last time I’ll ever give into my delusions of you
The last time I’ll say your name with such recognition
The last time I’ll erase the future I had drawn in my mind
And the last time I’ll ever bother you
This is the last time… I promise.
