Meant To Live Fumbling his confidence And wondering why the world has passed him by Hoping that he's 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 we've been living with our eyes half open Maybe we're 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 world's got to offer We want more than this world's 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?

I've got my hand at redemption's side Whose scars are bigger than these doubts of mine I'll fit all of these monstrosities inside and I'll come alive With my fist down at your feet I was running out of mysteries Insecure and incomplete, here I am, here I am, won't you get me? My fears have worn me out My fears have worn me out My fears have worn me, worn me 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 will never do.

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 your name Easy dying, you look just about the same Would you please take me off your list? Easy living, please come on 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? Gone She told him she'd rather fix her make-up; than try and fix what's going on but the problem keeps on calling even with the cell phone gone She told him that she believes in living, bigger than she's living now But her world keeps spinning backwards and upside-down Don't say so long, and throw yourself wrong, 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; Everyday we borrow, brings us one step closer to the edge. Infinity Where's your treasure? Where's your hope? If you get 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 spinning 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 confident 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 roto-tom fills (gone) Life is more than fame (gone), and rock and roll (gone), and thrills (gone) all the riches of the kings end up in wills (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 of cash Hey Bono, I'm glad you asked, Life is still worth living, Life is still worth living On Fire They tell you where you need to go They tell you when you need to leave They tell you what you need to know They tell you who you need to be But everything inside you knows there's more than what you've heard There's so much more than empty conversations 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 near you When 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'm standing on the edge of me I'm 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 Adding to The Noise What's it gonna take to slow us down to let the silence spin us around? What's it gonna take to drop this town? We've been spinning at the speed of sound. Stepping out of those convenience stores what could we want but more more more? From the third world to the corporate core we are a symphony of modern humanity If we're adding to the noise turn off this song If we're adding to the noise turn off your stereo, radio, video… I don't know what they're gonna think of next genetic engineers of the most high tech A couple new ways to fall into debt I'm a nervous wreck but I'll bet that that T.V. set tells us what we've wanted to hear But none of these sound bites are coming in clear From the third world to the corporate ear we are the symphony of modern humanity. Twenty-Four "Hola, 24... a song of numbers. A divided, political heart united into a new creation. The old has gone the new has come. Take up your cross and follow. We are to be one, this cannot happen without a transformation. Do not conform to the patterns of this world but rather, be transformed by the renewing of your mind. A fractured soul brought into unity, a human being reborn." Twenty-four oceans, twenty-four skies Twenty-four failures, in twenty-four tries Twenty-four finds me in twenty-fourth place With twenty-four drop outs at the end of the day Life is not what I thought it was twenty-four hours ago Still I'm singing spirit take me up in arms with you And I'm not who I thought I was twenty-four hours ago Still I'm singing spirit, take me up in arms with you There's twenty-four reasons to admit that I'm wrong With all my excuses still twenty-four strong But see, I'm not copping out Not copping out Not copping out When you're raising the dead in me Oh, oh I am the second man Oh, oh I am the second man now Oh, I am the second man now And you're raising these Twenty-four voices with twenty-four hearts All of my symphonies in twenty-four parts But I want to be one today Centered and true I'm singing spirit take me up in arms with you You're raising the dead in me Oh, oh I am the second man Oh, oh I am the second man now Oh I am the second man now And you're raising the dead in me Yeah I want to see miracles To see the world change Wrestled the angel for more than a name For more than a feeling For more than a cause I'm singing spirit, take me up in arms with you And you're raising the dead in me Twenty-four oceans with twenty-four hearts All of my symphonies with twenty-four parts Life is not what I thought it was twenty-four hours ago Still I'm singing spirit take me up in arms with you I'm not copping out Not copping out  :: home :: music :: bio :: links :: photos :: quotes ::
