Listen as the wind blows from across the divide.
Voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time.
The Night is my companion, and solitude my guide.
Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?
And I would be the one to hold you down.
Kiss you so hard. I'll take your breath away.
And after I wipe away the tears, just close your eyes dear...
Through this world I stumble, so many times betrayed.
Trying to find an honest word to find the truth enslaved.
Oh you speak to me in riddles and you speak to me in rhyme.
My body aches to breathe your breath. Your words keep me alive.
And I would be the one to hold you down.
Kiss you so hard. I'll take your breath away.
And after I wipe away the tears, just close your eyes dear..
Into this night I wander. It's morning that I dread.
Another day unknowing of the path I fear to tread.
Oh into the sea of waking dreams I follow without pride.
'Cause nothing stands between us here, and I wont be denied.
And I would be the one to hold you down.
Kiss you so hard. I'll take your breath away.
And after I wipe away the tears, just close your eyes...
Under a blackened sky far beyond the glaring street lights.
Sleeping on empty dreams. The vultures lie in wait.
You lay down beside me then. You where with me every waking hour.
So close I could feel your breath..
When all we wanted was the dream. To have and to hold, that precious little thing.
Like every generation yields the newborn hope unjaded by their years.
Pressed up against the glass, I found myself wanting sympathy.
But to be consumed again, oh I know would be the death of me.
And there is a love that's inherently given a kind of blindness often to deceive.
And in that light of forbidden joy, oh I know I wont receive it.
When all we wanted was the dream. To have and to hold, that precious little thing.
Like every generation yields the newborn hope unjaded by their years.
You know if I leave you now, it doesn't mean that I love you any less.
It's just the state I'm in. I can't be good to anyone else like this.
When all we wanted was the dream. To have and to hold, that precious little thing.
Like every generation yields the newborn hope unjaded by their years...
Hey your glass is empty. It's a hell of a long way home.
Why don't you let me take you? It's no good to go alone.
I never would have opened up but, you seemed so real to me.
And after all the bullshit I've heard it's refreshing not to see.
I don't have to pretend, she doesn't expect it from me.
Don't tell me I haven't been good to you.
Don't tell me I have never been there for you.
Don't tell me why nothing is good enough.
Hey little girl would you like some candy? Your momma said it's okay.
The door is open, come on outside. No I can't come out today.
It's not the wind that cracked your shoulder and threw you to the ground.
Who's there that makes you so afraid? You're shaken to the bone.
I don't understand, you deserve so much more then this.
So don't tell me why he's never been good to you.
Don't tell me why he's never been there for you.
Dontca know that why is simply not good enough.
Oh so just let me try, and I will be good to you.
Just let me try, and I will be there for you.
I'll so you why you're so much more then good enough..
I love the time and inbetween. The calm inside me.
In the space where I can breath. I believe there is a distance I have wandered
To touch upon the years of reaching out and reaching in.
Holding out, holding in.
I believe this is heaven to no one else but me.
And I'll defend it 'long as I can be left here to linger in silence if I choose to.
Would you try to understand?
I know this love is passing time. Passing through like liquid
And I'm drunk in my desire.
But I love the way you smile at me. I love the way your hands reach out
And hold me near.
I believe... I believe this is heaven to no one else but me.
And I'll defend it 'long as I can be left here to linger in silence if I choose to.
Would you try to understand?
Oh the quite child awaits the day when she can break free
The mold that clings like desperation.
Mother, can't you see I've got to live my life the way I feel is right for me.
Might not be right for you but it's right for me.
I believe this is heaven to no one else but me.
And I'll defend it 'long as I can be left here to linger in silence if I choose to.
Would you try to understand it?
I would like to linger here in silence if I choose to.
Would you understand it?
Would you try?
Say your prayers little one
Don't forget, my son
To include everyone
Tuck you in, warm within
Keep you free from sin
Till the Sandman he comes
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: Light
Enter: Night
Take My Hand
We're off to never-never land
Something's wrong, shut the light
Heavy thoughts tonight
And they aren't of Snow White
Dreams of War, Dreams of Liars
Dreams of Dragon's Fire
And of things that will bite
Sleep with one eye open
Gripping your pillow tight
Exit: Light
Enter: Night
Take my hand
We're off to Never-Never land
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Hush little baby, don't say a word
And nevermind that noise you heard
It's just the beasts under your bead
In your closet, in you head
Exit: Light
Enter: Night
Grain of Sand
Exit: Light
Enter: Night
Take my hand
We're off to never-never land
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who takes you there
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who cares
They
They Betray
I'm your only true friend now
They
They'll betray
I'm forever there
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
You
You're my mask
You're my cover, my shealter
You
You're my mask
You're the one who's shamed
Do
Do my work
Do my dirty work, Scapegoat
Do
Do my deeds
For you're the one who's blamed
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your dream, mind astray
I'm your eyes while you're away
I'm your pain while you repay
You know it's sad but true
Hate
I'm your Hate
I'm your hate when you want love
Pay
Pay the price
Pay, for nothings fair
Hey
I'm your life
I'm the one who took you there
Hey
I'm your life
And I no longer care
I'm your dream, make you real
I'm your eyes when you must steal
I'm your pain when you can't feel
Sad but true
I'm your truth, telling lies
I'm your reason, alibis
I'm inside, open your eyes
I'm you
Sad But True
New blood joins this earth
And quickly he's subdued
Through constant pained disgrace
The young boy learns their rules
With time the child draws in
This whipping boy done wrong
Deprived of all this thoughts
The young man struggles on and on he's known
A vow unto his own
That never from this day
His will they'll take away
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I dub thee Unforgiven
They dedicate their lives
To running all of his
He tries to please them all
This bitter man he is
Throughout his life the same
He's battled constantly
This fight he cannot win
A tired man they see no longer cares
The old man then prepares
To die regretfully
That old man here is me
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never be
Never see
Won't see what might have been
What I've felt
What I've known
Never shined through in what I've shown
Never free
Never me
So I sub thee Unforgiven
You labeled me
I'll label you
So I dub thee Unforgiven
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek, and I find in you
Everyday for us somthing new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close, no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
Trust I seek, and I find in you
Everyday for us somthing new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No Nothing Else Matters
