Adding to the Noise 11. 24 ---- LYRICS --- On Fire Tell you where you need to go Tell you when you need to leave Tell you what you need to know Tell you who you need to be Everything inside you know there's more than what you hear So much more than empty conversation filled with empty words And you're on fire when He's near you You're on fire when He speaks You're on fire, burning at these mysteries Give me one more time around Give me one more chance to see Give me everything You are Give me one more chance to be Everything inside me looks like everything I hate You are the hope I have for change, You are the only chance I'll take When I'm on fire when You're near me I'm on fire when You speak I'm on fire burning at these mysteries These mysteries I've been standing on the edge of me standing on the edge of me standing on the edge of me standing on the edge of me standing on the edge of everything I've never been before And I've been standing on the edge of me standing on the edge And I'm on fire when You're near me I'm on fire when You speak I'm on fire burning at these mysteries The Beautiful Letdown It was a beautiful letdown When I crashed and burned When I found myself alone Unknown and hurt It was a beautiful letdown The day I knew That all the riches this world had to offer me Would never do In a world full of bitter pain And bitter doubts I was trying so hard to fit in Fit in, until I found out I don't belong here (I don't belong) I don't belong here (I don't belong) I will carry a cross and a song Where I don't belong I don't belong It was a beautiful letdown When You found me here Yeah, for once in a rare blue moon I see everything clear I'll be a beautiful letdown That's what I'll forever be And though it may cost my soul I'll sing for free We're still chasing our tails In the rising sun In our dark water planet still spinning In a direction no one wins No one's won. See, I don't belong here (I don't belong) Well, I don't belong here, I don't belong I will carry a cross With a song where I don't belong I don't belong I don't belong here (I don't belong) No, I don't belong here, I don't belong I'm gonna set side And set sail For the kingdom come, kingdom come Your kingdom come Won't you let me down, yeah Let my foolish pride forever let me down Ah, Easy living, you're not much like the name Easy dying, you look just about the same Would you please take me off your list Easy living please c'mon and let me down We are a beautiful letdown Painfully uncool The church of the dropouts The losers, the sinners, the failures, and the fools What a beautiful letdown Are we salt in the wound Hey, let us sing one true tune I don't belong here (I don't belong) It feels like I don't belong here, yeah It goes like I don't belong here I don't belong (I don't belong) Won't you let me down (I don't belong) C'mon and let me down (I don't belong) You always let me down (I don't belong) So glad that I'm let down (I don't belong) C'mon and let me down (I don't belong) Cuz I don't belong here Won't you let me down! This is Your Life Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead Yesterday is a promise that youve broken Dont close your eyes Dont close your eyes This is your life and today is all youve got now And today is all youll ever have Dont close your eyes Dont close your eyes This is your life Are you who you want to be This is your life Are you who you want to be This is your life Is it everything youve dreamed it would be When the world was younger and you had everything to lose dont close your eyes dont close your eyes yesterday is a kid in the corner yesterday is dead and over this is your life are you who you want to be this is your life are you who you want to be this is your life is everything youve dreamed it would be when the world was younger and you had everything to lose dont close your eyes dont close your eyes Gone She told him she'd rather fix her make-up; than try to fix what's goin on but the problem keeps on callin even with the cell-phone gone She told him that she believes in livin, bigger than she's livin now But her world keeps spinnin backwards, and upside-down Don't say so-long, and through a cell-phone, Don't spend today away, cause today will soon be Gone, like yesterday is gone, like history is gone, just try and prove me wrong, and pretend like you're immortal. She said, He said live like no tomorrow; every day we borrow, brings us one step closer to the edge, in a fantasy, where's your treasure? who's your hope? forget the world, and lose your soul She pretends like she pretends like she's immortal, Don't say so-long, you're not the far gone, this could be your big chance to make-up, today will soon be Gone, like yesterday is gone like history is gone, the world keeps spinnin on you're going, going, gone, like summer break is gone, like saturday is gone, just try and prove me wrong, you pretend like you're immortal (you're immortal) you're immortal (you're immortal) ha-ah we are not infinite we are not permanent nothing's immediate we're so comforted in our accomplishments look at our decadence gone, (gone) like Frank Sinatra, (gone) like Elvis and his mom (gone) like Al Pachino's cash, (gone) nothing lasts in this life; (gone) My high school dreams are gone (gone) My childhood sweets are gone (gone) Life is a day that doesn't last (gone) for long (gone) Life is more than money (gone) Time was never money (gone) Time was never cash (gone) Life is still more than girls (gone) Life is more than hundred-dollar bills (gone) and rodo tom fills (gone) Life is more than fame (gone), and rock and roll (gone), and thrills (gone) all the riches of the kings and the pinwheels (gone) we've got information in the information age, but do we know what life is? outside of our convenient Lexus cages? She said, He said live like no tomorrow, every moment that we borrow, brings us closer to the God who's not short on cash Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked, Life is still worth living, Life is still worth living Meant to Live Fumbling his confidence And wondring why the world has passed him by Hoping that hes bent for more than arguments, And failed attempts to fly, fly We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? Somewhere we live inside Somewhere we live inside We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? Somewhere we live inside Dreaming about Providence And whether mice or men have second tries Maybe weve been livin with our eyes half open Maybe were bent and broken, broken We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? Somewhere we live inside Somewhere we live inside We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? Somewhere we live inside We want more than this worlds got to offer We want more than this worlds got to offer We want more than the wars of our fathers And everything inside screams for second life We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves? We were meant to live for so much more Have we lost ourselves?
