HARD WAY
Brother where have you gone
’Cause I know this house it ain’t a home
Yeah sister why do you run
Ain’t you the bullet and he’s your gun
The hard way
The hard way
Father why did you leave
Was there something wrong with the God you believe
Mother why do you drink the days away
Is there a demon that wants to stay
The hard way
The hard way
Hey little one do you know there’s only love
’Cause you’ve been treating yourself not good enough
Do you remember how we used to be
Running for a goal which we now see
We’re done with the hard way
We’re done with The hard way
Whenever I look at you
There’s nothing else I want to do
Oh but take you in my loving arms
Baby keep you warm, I say keep ya warm
We’re done with the hard way
We’re done with the hard way
We’re done with the hard way
We’re done with the hard way
MELODIES & MEDICINE
Your kiss smells of loneliness
Every smile costs a tear
Define bad to know the best
To be brave you need to know fear
Darling I’m here right now
What do you want me to do?
Whisper in your ear now
Or put you up against the wall
And make love to you…
...by the lake
If you’d choose to turn the tide
I had my clothes by the lake
Are you ready to fly?
I’ve been high, I’ve been low
And everything in between
I’ve been clueless, now I know
Things are never as they seem
And we don’t have to rush nowhere
Take your time and be alone
Live it up here or there
’Cause I can’t be your cornerstone
I had my clothes by the lake
If you’d choose to turn the tide
I had my clothes by the lake
Are you ready to fly?
Said I had my clothes by the lake
If you’d choose to turn the tide
I had my clothes by the lake
Are you ready to fly?
’Cause I bring you medicine
And a melody
For you to comfort your mind
So you can see the sunshine
I had my clothes by the lake
If you’d choose to turn the tide
I had my clothes by the lake
Are you ready to fly?
Said I had my clothes by the lake
If you’d choose to turn the tide
I had my clothes by the lake
Are you ready to fly?

The chemicals that you breathe inside your lungs
The chemicals have already begun
To slowly eat your brain from the inside out
And you can kick and scream and no one will hear you shout
Before we die, die, die, before we die
Before we die, die, die, before we die
And I don’t know the way
Don’t follow me, I’ll lead you astray
Blood and sweat is drippin’ down from your shirt
Years ago since you heard the last loving words
Madness, take your rotten fingers off me
Oh madness, won’t you leave me be
And I still remember the warmth of my home
The fires, the laughter, the feeling in my bones
And if I try to comprehend all the misery I see
There’s something wiring up and spiraling inside of me
Is this really the world you want to call real
Is this the best we can do, starving people and steal
And lately I tried to say it in words, and lately I tried to deal with the hurt
But it seems it’s unseen that the victory could be somewhere in between inside of me
Move your finger, erase twenty years
Move your finger, tears for tears
Millions die while you’re pumping out oil
Blood is poured out only for soil
And I still remember the smell of my home
The fires, the laughter, the feeling in my bones
Father I’m going to save what you built
Father I’m going, blood will be spilled
Can it be justified
When millions die
Can it be justified
When millions die
It can’t be justified, no
When millions die
It can’t be justified
SAFETY FIRST
We’ve been joking
About the way we look out here
We’ve been broken
But love was in the air
It’s so cold here
Tonight the stars shine down on us
We were laughing so much
Oh wait, that was him (yeah right, that was him)
And if you choose safety first
Hey, that’s alright with me
I never said how much it hurts
But that’s alright with me
Woman of my dreams
I don’t know what to say
I’m 'a turn my head
And walk away
Wear your dress
Like a queen on a ballet
I’m 'a turn my head
And walk away (I walk away, yeah)
And if you choose safety first
Hey, that’s alright with me
I never said how much it hurts
But that’s alright with me
And it’s alright with me
It’s alright with me
You know it’s alright with me
Yeah, it’s alright with me
’Cause yesterday
I tied you to a balloon
I said goodbye
And watched you fly off to the moon
Fly off to the moon
To the moon
Fly off to the moon
To the moon
Fly off to the moon
To the moon
Fly off to the moon
To the moon
GREEN ILLUSIONS
I have to leave
Leave all behind
I’m not gonna search
So I know I’ll find
The fog it clears out
Since I’m alone
I’m visiting my mind
Visiting my soul
’Cause I’ve been drowning in my own weight
Yes I’ve been drowning in my own weight
Pressure hits hard
When I try to be
Anything else
Anything else but me
I let you fade out
Till I hear my voice
My right and my wrong
For to live is choice
And everybody’s got their own way
Of telling ’Son, the world will pass you by’ oh-ooh
I said everybody’s got their own way
Of telling ’Son, life will pass you by’
So don’t be afraid
When you’re out there
Fears and illusions
Shall not take your care
Hell what a ride
I’m glad I’m still here
I hold my head up high
And live in love not fear
And everybody’s got their own way
Of telling ’Son, the world will pass you by’ oh-ooh
I said everybody’s got their own way
Of telling ’Son, life will pass you by’
Life will pass you
Yeah, life will pass you by
But I know I’m
Free
We are free
We are free
FIRE & GASOLINE
She’s a lioness, she’s a queen
She’s the best that I’ve ever seen
She’s a lover, she’s a fighter
She’s not just a spark, she’s the lighter
She’s a searcher looking for truth
She’s my well of eternal youth
She’s calm but she’s wild
She’s a woman and she’s a child
I don’t need you, but I want you
And you don’t need me, but you want to
Get yourself free from all the things that they claim
Are so vital to you
’Cause we’re fire and gasoline
If I light you up
Would you be mine or be mean
’Cause we’re fire and gasoline
If I light you up
Would you be mine or be…
A tiger, I’m a king
I’m nothing and everything
I’m a soldier in war
Still looking what to die for
I’m a preacher man and I’m a thief
I’m Judas and still I believe
I’m calm but never still
My cup is overflowing but I spill
I don’t need you, but I want you
And you don’t need me, but you want to
Get yourself free from all the things that they claim
Are so vital to you, yeah
’Cause we’re fire and gasoline
If I light you up
Would you be mine or be mean
’Cause we’re fire and gasoline
If I light you up
Would you be mine or be mean
’Cause we’re fire and gasoline
If I light you up
Would you be mine or be mean
Be mean to me
Be mean to me
Yeah be mean to me
Be mean to me
FAITHLESS MIRROR
I’m just a shell
I’ve tried to get well
I’ve Tried to get up
But I keep falling down
I’ve tried to come clean
Tell the ghosts I have seen
I fell from the top
I’m soon in the ground
Well now I see
When you’re visiting me
I’ll be conscious and on my steady high
And now I see
You promise to make me free
But you twist, corrupt and mess up my mind
When I was young
I thought I’d become
A wild man taking
What he needs
I made the wrong choice
I lost my voice
An old man shaking
My wounds bleed
Well now I see
When you’re visiting me
I’ll be conscious and on my steady high
And now I see
You promise to make me free
But you twist, corrupt and mess up my mind
Remember my name
Not as I go but as I came
For when I was younger
I could feel
JACQUES
Tell me, why do you
Have to go, is there
Somewhere else you need to be?
Do you know that
All you leave back
Is heartbreak and misery?
Have you written
It all down now
Somewhere for us to feel?
How your world was
Whom you loved most
And what you called real
So don’t you take his mind
While he still lives
Don’t you take his soul
While he still can give
The grim reaper stands on the other side, opens up the door
He says you’re welcome son, you can come home
All the love
All these thoughts
All the wisdom you used to share
It is sealed up
In our hearts now
You’re free to go anywhere
So don’t you look back
On these lives that
On the lives you could have lived
’Cause not what he does
But how he does it
Defines how much a man can give
So don’t you take his mind
While he still lives
Don’t you take his soul
While he still can give
Don’t you understand how these things go
We can talk about the other side, but we will never…
...know what
Awaits us
When we are there
Hold up
Wake up
Don’t give in to fear
Keep your high tide
Your own mind
For these days to come
Keep your head
Yet you're not dead
MINDCOMA
You were hiding between your sheets
My love
Somewhere in the same town that I grew up -
Myself
You came here
For me to know
How near
To Heaven we can go
But I was captured in circumstances I’ve built myself -
These days
I was scared
To let you close
Held by fear
To let you go
But now we’re hiding between your sheets, my love -
So just breathe
tear me apart
You’ll tear me apart
You’ll tear me apart
You
Are
Here
On my mind
You
Are
Here
On my mind
And nothing could ever satisfy
When you’re on my mind
You
Are
Here
On my mind
You know that practically all of the time
You’re on my mind
You’re always on my mind
You’re always on my mind
You’re always on my mind
Your beauty can not be described
When I look into your eyes
You’re in my heart and on my mind
HEY BEAUTIFUL
Hey beautiful, how do you do?
I’m sorry I’ve been hurting you
My racing mind has made me too blind
To understand your heart
Keep on believing
In who we are
One day I’ll see them
I will see your three stars
Yeah one day we won’t say goodbye
Anymore
Hey there my queen, say how have you been?
I know that we were way off
Sometimes it’s hard and sometimes it’s dark
When we can’t be who we are
Keep on believing
In who we are
One day I’ll see them
I will see your three stars
Yeah one day we won’t say goodbye
Anymore
Hey beautiful, how do you do?
I’m sorry I’ve been hurting you
SPRING
Goodbye to all my friends
I said hi in confidence
That the Lord would carry me
Till I’m gone out of misery
Well hi there Holy Trinity
I’ve heard that you’re there for me
Got you engraved on my heart
On my soul and on my very arm
I’m done with all those lies
You were deceiving me with all your tries
To make me happy
I won’t dig and won’t question at all
I don’t need wings, I love the free fall
I don’t need no salvation
And I’m free to live however I want
I’ve prayed and I’ve read all your books
I broke down and I was shook
I prayed for thy glory to come
And on and on and on and on
I’m done with all those lies
You were deceiving me with all your tries
I’m done with your old lies
You were deceiving me with all your tries
To make me happy
This world is a mystery
You’re made to be free
