The Change maybe i've got it wrong 'cause maybe i'm still alone i can't pretend i still believe in you when i can count the tears that fall i couldn't see from where you flew to me so what was i to do? and in a bleeding heart's embrace i traced the tear streams down your face so i could know them one by one lest i should leave some work undone i learned to pray for just one thing that i may witness you in wings i saw an angel there that day and then i watched her fly away maybe i can't believe that maybe you couldn't see that angel's more than just a word that i would speak to calm your eyes i planted flowers 'round your door so you would never need for more and in a bleeding heart's embrace i traced the tear streams down your face so i could know them one by one lest i should leave some work undone i learned to pray for just one thing that i may witness you in wings i saw an angel there that day and then i watched her fly away vera, i've been so down while you are nowhere to be found i know you'd never tell me why i only came back here to cry and all along i was sure you knew how bad i needed you beyond me there's only a shadow with it's head down i planted flowers 'round your door so you would never need for more and in a bleeding heart's embrace i traced the tear streams down your face so i could know them one by one lest i should leave some work undone i learned to pray for just one thing that i may witness you in wings i saw an angel there that day and then i watched her fly away No Directions wha'd'you run away for? head down, pocket full of lies wha'd'you run away for? dismiss what's before your eyes are you afraid you're not the only one? hear me, offer no reply wha'd'you run away for? can't you try to think about it, think about it? wha'd'you run away for? it wouldn't hurt to think about it, think about it do you really think you won't be back around? why are you still crying? crawling far above the sky why are you still crying? mind that makes the heart deny you know you've really known it all along trading memories for pride why are you still crying? you can't get away from it, away from it why are you still crying? you can't get away, there's no escape from it don't you think you should take a break and breathe? is it almost time now? bury all that's left to save is it almost time now? welcome comfort in a cage tell me what you gain from how you play? always fearful of a change don't you think it's time now? the only thing to do is do something about it don't you think it's time now? it's really past the time to do something about it i can see your shadow shivering can you see now that there's nothing to hold you down? wandering we are only beginning to wake from a dream wondering you're not alone, you're not to blame take your time you are alive and it's slipping away from you take it in there's always been so much to confuse clear your mind well, you've got no time to lose ask yourself what you see further, brighter, wider wandering more than you will ever see wondering just a shadow chasing a low setting sun reaching out and when you felt it long ago reaching in you never thought you would forget so easily don't hold on if only you could wander back there let it be searching your mind endlessly walk alone reach for the form you see walk with me don't turn away from it stay in motion too many tear drops will cover your eyes all you see is all you do all you know enters through you too many tear drops will cover your eyes watch it unfold , watch it undone no yesterdays, no days to come Lament i'd like to know what makes it so that history must repeat don't you think it owes a debt to all humanity? don't you think we've had enough direction from the wise? to prove we may not see the daywhen pain is pushed aside? as we all wonder which way we should go time is no healer, it won't let you know as we all squander the lives we could lead time has condemned usto beg to our knees i'd like to know what makes it so that words can disappear and circumvent what's being said before you even hear as we all wait for the seasons to change witness the tears on the face of the aged as we all wait for our day in the sun burning our memories while time is undone and when the truth no longer refrains and all the angels cry out in pain in one last song to save a soul that only knows to grieve there'll be no words to say, your heart will not betray there'll only be a tear that cannot fall i'd like to know what makes it so that life befalls for free still every day we're forced to pay to save from suffering as we all lament the things we can't know searching for secrets 'midst those down below as we all tremble before our own love waiting for answers to fall from above Labyrinth i can lie no more about how i feel or if i even feel at all i'm not sure if i've gone farther back from than where i used to be i used to know myself i'm trying hard to greet this with an open soul but i cannot find one inside in this constant changing, inhibiting sight i'm finding nothing left to hide it's overwhelming and nothing just the same lost in myself again i would love to say you're still the center of my pain i'm not really sure what it all was worth if it's only left this emptiness inside it's contradicting and in me just the same lost in myself again i keep losing sight of you i'm just running 'round and 'round i have never seen an end opening door after door in endless fucking corridors just to stand where i have stood before baffled by the illusion the only thing i understand is each step takes me back where i began lost in myself again Drift the stars are way too high to reach the stars are way too high but i watch them as they're burning out my eyes the moon will never come again the moon is gone for good it gave us all it could and just gave up can you feel the cold that's sinking in? it's gonna freeze-lock everything but time! i feel your hands inside of me i feel you letting go i'm falling in a hole within myself it's taking over me again i feel it coming on i'd rest if i could only close my eyes can you hear me as i beg for you? i'm singing you the only song i know aahhhhhhhhh.... back and forth (it's never ending) how can i save anything? just a thought, you could open your eyes lie before me, i am gone the heart is gone, the flesh lives on all at once it's nothing but a dream aahhhhhhhhh.... the wind will carry you away but you'll come back around to spread the lies you've learned along the way if this has to kill me, i don't mind i haven't lived a day since you've been gone aahhhhhhhhh.... Mara of no consequence was all that you said shaking your cup to the sky longing for scenery you tore down the bridge you could cross when the river ran dry then dying of thirst you reached for the first girl with the tear in her eye and propping her up you raise up your cup to catch all the tears that she cries and she scorns what you do while she drinks from it with you did you hear her name long ago whispered in a draft through your window? was her body's promise divine? the rainbow's broken the overrunning wine is flooding your mind just a one ship fleet on an endless sea with a sigh in its sail sewn from soiled sheets shrugging your shoulders you turn from a world whose loneliness left it in ruin but you never once asked any stranger that passed for his name, or how he was doing then you throw down your cross to reach for your savior a girl with a light in her eye and your guardian weeps as she sings you to sleep with the words of a lost lullaby that your mother sang to you only it's not the same tune did you see her face long ago watching over you through your window? was her inspiration divine? the rainbow's broken the confusion in your mind is flooding her eyes lady of the rose oh, before you go please won't you sing for me one more song tonight? ℗2008 Outlookwithin (BMI) ©2007 Joseph Andrew Thompson All rights reserved
