Love Never Came

I’ve waited here
Between the light and the rain
Hiding in the cracks in the walls
Trying to break my fall
As I lose you again

And you’re gone
As though love never came
As though love turns and leaves me here again
I’ve waited here
Holding on to pieces of the past
But nothing, nothing makes sense any more
I can’t seem to push us back together
I thought we’d be forever
But you’re gone

As though love never came
As though love turns and leaves me here again
As though love never came
I guess love always leaves me here
You leave me here

But I run from the shadow
The darkness always hides behinds the sun
I’m still holding on
In silence and the emptiness
The darkness seems to leave when you’re gone
But i’m still holding on
But i’m still holding on

As though love never came
As though love turns and leaves me here again

As though love never came
As though love turns and leaves me here
You leave me here

Not Strong Enough

I'm not strong enough to stay away
Can't run from you
I'd just run back to you
Like a moth I'm drawn into your flame
You say my name

But it's not the same
You look in my eyes
I'm stripped of my pride
And my soul surrenders
And you bring my heart to its knees

And it's killing me when you're away
And I wanna leave
And I wanna stay
And I'm so confused
So hard to choose between the pleasure and the pain
And I know it's wrong
And I know it's right
And even if I tried to win the fight
My heart would overrule my mind
And I'm not strong enough to stay away

I'm not strong enough to stay away
What can I do
I would die without you
In your presence my heart knows no shame
I'm not to blame
'Cause you bring my heart to its knees

And it's killing me when you're away
And I wanna leave
And I wanna stay
And I'm so confused
So hard to choose between the pleasure and the pain
And I know it's wrong
And I know it's right
And even if I tried to win the fight
My heart would overrule my mind
And I'm not strong enough to stay away

There's nothing I can do
My heart is chained to you
And I can't get free
Look what this love has done to me

'Cause it's killing me when you're away
And I wanna leave
And I wanna stay
And I'm so confused
So hard to choose between the pleasure and the pain
And I know it's wrong
And I know it's right
And even if I tried to win the fight
My heart would overrule my mind
And I'm not strong enough to stay away

Flesh and Bone

I know
we got
tangled
Ripped when I walked away
Every,
circle,
angled
Left us without a shape
Statues,
fallen,
angels
Hollow about to break
Praying,
 for,
forgiveness
And paying for my mistakes

I wish my heart was made of stone
It's a myth I'm only flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
So beautiful
Ooh you shattered me
Can't cross this river on my own
I'm lost without your flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
So beautiful
ooh you shattered me

Broken.
in one
moment
A kiss full of misery
All the
pieces
frozen
Not where they used to be
now my
scars are
showin
They're cut and their runnin deep
Praying
for for-giveness
And losing my sanity

I wish my heart was made of stone
It's a myth I'm only flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
So beautiful
Ooh you shattered me
Can't cross this river on my own
I'm lost without your flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
So beautiful
ooh you shattered me


In a million pieces
I'm exactly where I said I'd never be
Stranded here alone you finally
Bought me to my knees
I'm a fallen angel rescue me

I wish my heart was made of stone
It's a myth I'm only flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
So beautiful
Ooh you shattered me
Can't cross this river on my own
I'm lost without your flesh and bone
Flesh and bone
So beautiful
ooh you shattered me

Save me from myself...

Underneath

Strip away the flesh and bone
Look beyond the lies you've known
Everybody wants to talk about a freak
No one wants to dig that deep
Let me take you underneath

Baby, better watch you step
Never mind what's on the left
You're gonna see things you might not wanna see
It's still not that easy for me underneath

A red river of screams
Underneath
Tears in my eyes
Underneath
Stars in my black and blue sky
And underneath
Under my skin
Underneath the depths of my sin
Look at me
Now do you see?

Welcome to my world of truth
I don't wanna hide any part of me from you
I'm standing here with no apologies
Such a beautiful release
You inside of me

A red river of screams
Underneath
Tears in my eyes
Underneath
Stars in my black and blue sky
And underneath
Under my skin
Underneath the depths of my sin
Look at me
Now do you see?
Underneath...

Welcome to my world of truth

A red river of screams
Underneath
Tears in my eyes
Underneath
Stars in my black and blue sky
And underneath
Under my skin
Underneath the depths of my sin
Look at me
Now do you see?
Underneath, underneath, underneath
Look at me
Do you see?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah!

Look at me
Do you see?

Welcome to my world of truth
I don't wanna hide any part of me from you

Given and Denied

Which way to the fountain of my youth I wonder?

Which way to the years I've let go by?

Let a thirsty one drink in its memories while the water still flows sweet and crystal clear.

For yesteryear
Oh to see the sun's eclipse

On the horizon like ships

Sailing way away from here

Oh just one more time my dear

Before I'll go hear me out 

Cuz of this there ain't no doubt

When it's time for curtain call

Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean

Of blue like your eyes, in the twilight theater

Where symphonies play in a world without sound

We're given and denied

Give me back my innocence cuz I wish to dream again 

Like I never outgrew my old playground

Where the sun sets slowly with a golden crown

And the leaves sing lullabies 'round

Vacant swings

Give me those wings

Let me fly once again

Like I did way back when

I would gamble and win

To lift me high above the dim

Of the future we see...

 Does it hold something for me?

 I'm weightless again

Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean

Of blue like your eyes, in the twilight theater

Where symphonies play in a world without sound

We're given and denied

Before I'll go hear me out 

Cuz of this there ain't no doubt

When it's time for curtain call

Just before the shadows...

Fall like a leaf in the wind on the ocean

Of blue like your eyes, in the twilight theater

Where symphonies play in a world without sound

We're given and denied

Change

You say you feel a chill in the season
Like something is falling apart
You say you can't hold it together much longer
And I should look after your heart

But I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
And it's bending your will like a willow tree twisting
Trying to regain its form

How does it make you feel
When you remember the times the two us lay here
In the arms of the world on the doorstep of heaven shining down

Do you feel a change coming on,
Rolling out of the blue like a storm,
And it's throwing your dollhouse world in disarray
So you can rebuild or conform

How I wish you'd only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true
before it can leave you
I wish that you could see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true all around you

My worth is the look in your eyes
My prize
The smile playing tricks on your lips and I wonder again
Do you ever dream of the world like I do?

I too fear the change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Can you hear it *scream* at the hurt that I knew

How I wish you'd only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true
before it can leave you
I wish that you could see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true all around you


What is this chill at my heel
That makes the protections I've built around my pseudo world premiere
Tearing my utopian fiction apart as it happens to just pass along

I feel a change coming on
Rolling out of the blue like a storm
Crashing against my delirious thoughts where humanity's waiting alone

How I wish you'd only see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true
before it can leave you
I wish that you could see
How your own choices make your dream
Come out shining true all around you

Tenuous

A single moment
Before the call that drew you to the sea
A single fragment
Of a loss that's buried deep in memory

In stillness, no comfort
In silence, awash in fervent dreams
In stillness, I see you
Returning back to me

A shrouded echo
Resounding waves that fall apon the shore
I feel you moving
To a place where I shall see you nevermore
