Weathered
Album - 20 novembre 2001 - Debaser id 17295

Walking around I hear the earth seeking relief
I'm trying to find a reason to live
But the mindless clutter my path
Oh these thorns in my side
I know I have something free
I have something so alive
I think they shoot cause they want it

I feel forces all around me
Come on raise your head
Those who hide behind the shadows
Live with all that's dead

[Chorus]
Look at me... look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Through my head

Im my lifetime when I'm disgraced
By jealousy and lies
I laugh aloud 'cause my life
Has gotten inside someone else's mind

Look at me...look at me
At least look at me when you shoot a bullet through my head
Through my head
Through my head
Through my head

Hey all I want is what's real
Something I touch and can feel
I'll hold it close and never let it go
Said why...why do we live life
With all this hate inside
I'll give it away 'cause I don't want it no more
Please help me find a place
Somewhere far away I'll go and you'll never see me again

The mouths of envious
Always find another door
While at the gates of paradise they beat us down some more
But our mission's set in stone
'Cause the writing's on the wall
I'll scream it from the mountain tops pride comes before a fall

So many thoughts to share
All this energy to give
Unlike those who hide the truth I tell like it is
If the truth will set you free
I Feel sorry for your soul
Can't you hear the ringing 'cause for you the bell tolls

I'm just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there'll come a day
When you're face to face with me
Face to face with me

Can't you hear us coming?
People marching all around
Can't you see we're coming?
Close your eyes it's over now
Can't you hear us coming?
The fight has only just begun
Can't you see we're coming?

I'm just a freedom fighter
No remorse
Raging on in holy war
Soon there'll come a day
When you're face to face with me
Face to face with me

Run...hide
All that was sacred to us
Sacred to us
See the signs
The covenant has been broken
By mankind
Leaving us with no shoulder...with no shoulder
To rest our head on
To rest our head on
To rest our head on

Who's got my back now?
When we all have left is deceptive
So disconnected
So what is the truth now?

There's still time
All that has been devastated
Can be recreated
Realize
We pick up the broken pieces
Of our lives
Giving ourselves to each other...ourselves to each other
To rest our head on
To rest our head on
To rest our head on

Who's got my back now
When all we have left is deceptive
So disconnected
So what is the truth now?

Tell me the truth now...Tell me the truth now

Who's got my back now?
When all we have left is deceptive
So disconnected
So what is the truth now?

This is not about age
Time served on the earth doesn't mean you grow in mind
This is not about God
Spiritual insinuations seem to shock our nation

Come with me I'm fading underneath the lights
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me now

This is not about race
It's a decision to stop the division in your life
This is not about sex
We all know sex sells and the whole world is buying

Come with me I'm fading underneath the lights
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me now

Can't you see the signs?
See the signs now

Can't you see them?
See the signs
You see them
All the signs we see them
Can't you see them?

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to all I think is safe
It seems I found the road to nowhere
And I'm trying to escape
I yelled back when I heard thunder
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say, let me say

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
ain't so far down

I'm looking down now that it's over
Reflecting on all of my mistakes
I thought I found the road to somewhere
Somewhere in His grace
I cried out, "Heaven save me"
But I'm down to one last breath
And with it let me say, let me say

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

I'm so far down

Sad eyes follow me
But I still believe there's something left for me
So please come stay with me
'Cause I still believe there's something left for you and me
For you and me
For you and me

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

Hold me now
I'm six feet from the edge and I'm thinkin'
Maybe six feet
Ain't so far down

Please come now I think I'm falling
I'm holding on to what I think is safe

Hello my friend we meet again,
It's been a while, where should we begin,
Feels like forever,
Within my heart are memories,
Of perfect love that you gave to me,
I remember.

When you are with me, I'm free,
I'm careless, I believe,
Above all the others, we'll fly,
This brings tears to my eyes.
My sacrifice.

We've seen our share of ups and downs,
Oh, how quickly life can turn around,
in an instant,
It feels so good to reunite,
Within yourself, and within your mind,
Let's find peace there.

'Cause when you are with me, I'm free,
I'm careless, I believe,
Above all the others, we'll fly,
This brings tears to my eyes.
My sacrifice.

I just want to say hello again
I just want to say hello again

'Cause when you are with me, I'm free,
I'm careless, I believe,
Above all the others, we'll fly,
This brings tears to my eyes.

'Cause when you are with me, I'm free,
I'm careless, I believe,
Above all the others, we'll fly,
This brings tears to my eyes.
My sacrifice.

My sacrifice (I just want to say hello again.)
I just want to say hello again.

My Sacrifice

You always reached out to me and helped me believe
All those memories we share
I will cherish every one of them
The truth of it is there's a right way to live
And you showed me
So now you live on in the words of a song
You're a melody

'Cause you stand here with me now(2x)

Just when fear blinded me you taught me to dream
I'll give you everything I am and still fall short of
What you've done for me
In this life that I live
I hope I can give love unselfishly
I've learned the world is bigger than me
You're my daily dose of reality

'Cause you stand here with me now(2x)

On and on we sing
On and on we sing this song

'Cause you stand her with me

On and on we sing ('Cause you stand here with me)
On and on we sing this song

'Cause you stand her with me

I lie awake on a long, dark night
I can't seem to tame my mind
Slings and arrows are killing me inside
Maybe I can't accept the life that's mine
No maybe I can't accept the life that's mine

Simple living is my desperate cry
Been trading love with indifference
Yeah it suits me just fine
I try to hold on but I'm calloused to the bone
Maybe that's why I feel alone yeah
Maybe that's why I feel so alone

'cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels and
It just won't heal
It just won't heal
No it just won't heal oh no no

The sun shines and I can't avoid the light
I think I'm holding on to life too tight
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
Sometimes I feel like giving up yeah
I said sometimes I feel like giving up

Me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels
And it just won't heal
And it just won't heal
It just won't heal no

The day reminds me of you
The night hides your truth
The earth is a voice
Speaking to you
Take all this pride
And leave it behind
Because one day it ends
One day we die
Believe what you will
That is your right
But I choose to win
I choose to fight
To fight

'cause me, I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal
I'm rusted and weathered
Barely holdin' together
I'm covered with skin that peels and it just won't
Covered with skin that peels and it just won't
Covered with skin that peels and it just won't heal

To what do I owe this gift my friend?
My life?
My love?
My soul?
I've been dancing with the devil way too long,
And it's making me grow old,
Making me grow old.

(Chorus)
Let's leave...Oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide.

Let's leave...Oh let's get away,
Run in fields of time,
Where there's no reason left to hide.
No reason to hide.

What are you going to do with your gift dear child?
Give life?
give love?
give soul?
Divided is the one who dances,
For the soul is so exposed,
So exposed.

(Chorus)
Let's leave...Oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide.

Let's leave...Oh let's get away
Run in fields of time
Where there's no reason left to hide.
No reason hide.

There is no reason to hide,
There is no reason to hide,
There is no reason to hide,
There is no reason to hide,

(Chorus)
Let's leave...Oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide.

Let's leave...Oh let's get away
Run in fields of time
Where there's no reason left to hide.

Let's leave...Oh let's get away
Get lost in time
Where there's no reason left to hide.

No reason to hide,
There is no reason to hide,
No reason to hide,
There is no reason to hide,
No reason to hide.

At times life is wicked and I just can't see the light
A silver lining sometimes isn't enough
To make some wrongs seem right
Whatever life brings
I've been through everything
And now I'm on my knees

But I know I must go on
Although I hurt I must be strong
Because inside I know that many feel this way

Children
Don't stop dancing
Believe you can fly
Away...away

At times life's unfair and you know it's plain to see
Hey God I know I'm just a dot in this world
Have you forgot about me?
Whatever life brings
I've been through everything
And now I'm on my knees

But I know I must go on
Although I hurt I must be strong
Because inside I know that many feel this way

Children
Don't stop dancing
Believe you can fly
Away...awaaaaaaayyy

Am I hiding in the shadows?
Forget the pain and forget the sorrows [2X]

But I know I must go on
Although I hurt I must be strong
Because inside I know that many feel this way

Children
Don't stop dancing
Believe you can fly
Away...away [3X]

Am I hiding in the shadows?
Are we hiding in the shadows?

Hush my love now don't you cry
Everything will be all right
Close your eyes and drift in dream
Rest in peaceful sleep

If there's one thing I hope
I showed you
If there's one thing I hope
I showed you
Hope I showed you

Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Just give love to all

All my love in my arms tight
Every day you give me life
As I drift off to your world
Will Rest in peaceful sleep

I know there's one thing that
you showed me
I know there's one thing that
you showed me
That you showed me

Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Just give love to all
Lets give love to all
Lets give love to all
Just give love to all
Lets give love to all
Just give love to all
Lets give love to all

He said he's falling to pieces
Fighting the boy and the man
Over his shoulder there was freedom
But consciousness has tied his hands
Embodied youth was his distinction
Now inhibition's in demand
So driven by his fear of weakness
That's his key to understand
So far in a distant land
There's a fight between boy and man
See the light through the open door
Sit and watch as the young grow old
Trading places in the circle
Turn the glass, spill the sand
They say that time can make the difference
But age doesn't make you a man
So far in a distant land
There's a fight between boy and man
See the light through the open door
Sit and watch as the young grow old
So young but overblown
So young but overblown
So young but overblown
Take a look now, see the boy is weakened
Watch him fade, watch him fade away
Take a bow and the boy is defeated
Is this the way, this the way?
So far in a distant land
There's a fight between boy and man
See the light through the open door
Sit and watch as the young grow old
