Parachute
Album - 14 novembre 1995 - Debaser id 554

If in the morning you look up
Fake a smile and you sigh
Don't fear the future
In the years to come you'll learn ( you'll learn)
I used to sit and watch the pouring rain
I used to wish to be back home again
Hadn't the strength then
Hadn't the chance to reveal (it)
But it's all (it's all) in your head
When do we begin?
Although you're so sad
Discover things never had
It makes you wonder
A life alone you'll learn you'll learn you'll learn
I used to sit and watch the pouring rain
I used to wish to be back home again
Hadn't the strength then
Hadn't the chance the reveal
But it's all it's all in your head (2x)
When do we begin?
When do we begin?
You'll learn (3x)
Don't fear the future
I used to sit and watch the pouring rain
I used to wish to be back home again
I hadn't I hadn't the strength then
Hadn't the strength to reveal (it)
But it's all in your head (4x)
When do we begin?

I know there is a place,
A place where I belong.
Not be mistreated or undone.
And if I find that place,
I'll keep my mouth shut.
Cause I won't be there alone.

And if you're standing there,
With me.
I'll swear it's a lie, and I'll still believe it.

Cause I came,
And I spoke,
And you ran.
Didn't even wait to hear the words,
Or see the look in my eyes.
Cause I bled,
And you watched,
And I cried myself to sleep.
Came to wipe my tears away but you,
Couldn't look in my eyes again.
Because of the love for me.

Well, I understand Time,
It passes so slowly.
And I can hear it's laughter.
But there will come a time,
When you will ask me.
And I will join you then.

And if you're standing there,
With me.
I'll swear it's a lie, and I'll still believe it.

Cause I came,
And I spoke,
And you ran.
Didn't even wait to hear the words,
Or see the look in my eyes.
Cause I bled,
And you watched,
And I cried myself to sleep.
Came to wipe my tears away but you,
Couldn't look in my eyes again.
Because of the love for me.
Because of the love for me.
Because of the love for me.
Because of the love for me.
Because of the love for me.
Because of the love for me.

A gaping wound,
Tells the story of it all.
A man lost only to find,
What was left of his mind,
With no hope of a scar at all.

You say, go slow.
But something's right behind me.
I can runaway, for only so long.
It will not stop,
I will come down.
Oh no.

Let me find my way.
I'll take you to the edge.
Go across that window.
And I'll carry you there.

Woah, and nothing goes right.
Woah, and days don't come to night.
Oh, and all I see, is the error of my own enemy.

A man alone,
And cut and torn for it.
His whole life friend after friend,
They're all a flash in the pan,
With no hope of rejoice at all.

You say, go slow.
But something's right behind me.
I can runaway, for only so long.
It will not stop,
I will come down.
Oh no.

Let me find my way (Don't be scared of what you might be saying).
I'll take you to the edge (Throw away those empty fears).
Go across that window (Throw away those).
And I'll carry you there.

Oh, and nothing goes right.
Oh, and days don't come to night. (Throw away those empty fears)
Go across that window (throw away those), and I'll carry you.

All I want is the world
And everything for me
You can rattle off your talk
All that matters is what I see

If you break me down
Break me down
Selfish desire
Is all you'll blame
'Cause desperate times
Calls for desperate measures
and I am not ashamed

Oh it took me a long time
to come to this
But I have chosen that path
I am only for me

All my dreams are so closed
If I open them to you
You can count them all as lies
You can believe me
Or you can believe the truth

If you break me down
Break me down
Selfish desire
Is all you'll blame
'Cause desperate times
Calls for desperate measures
and I am not ashamed

Oh it took me a long time
to come to this
But I have chosen that path
I am only for me

But I could let you in
Put your fears on the shelf
There's only room cause it helps myself
But I could let you in
But it's to no avail
I only listen cause it helps myself

Oh it took me a long time
to come to this
But I have chosen my path
I am only for me

I took a cane from a blind man
I tasted the fruit in the Garden of Eden
When I walk out of here
I know I'll stand clear
But the taste in my mouth still remains, still remains

Oh it took me a long time
to come to this
I am only for me

Can you remember?
What the future held
A little candy ring
And a mystic oceans shell
But they were all anesthetized
And slowly washed away
Left all the poison in the sands in which I played
I don’t mind falling down and scraping up my knees
Scars and Stitches always fade and only strengthen me
But with my eyes as wide as pearls
My only centerpiece
Is taken like a dead mans urn and tossed into the sea
Write me like a letter
And dot your I’s and cross you T’s
Nothing was everything to me
Under the monsters claws and in between his teeth
Was the shadow and a silhouette of what I’d thought I’d be?
I don’t mind falling down and scraping up my knees
Scars and Stitches always fade and only strengthen me
But with my eyes as wide as pearls
My only centerpiece
Well it’s taken like a dead mans urn and tossed into the sea

My, my
How things have changed
Since I have been away
It’s the first time
But it’s different I’m afraid

Where’s the boy
So happy to be near it all
He’s lost in the travel
Little part of me so small

Cry for me
Cry for him
Cry for the answer
Cry because it’s done
Cry for the feeling
Cry for the youth
All for the prize

Through different eyes
The promise that you have made
Forgets
See it as you may
Deny it while you can
Search for the reason
As you to beg to understand

Cry for me
Cry for him
Cry for the answer
Cry because it’s done
Cry for the feeling
Cry for the youth
All for the prize

Come and go
Don’t get pulled into the light
Come and go
Wouldn’t believe it if you tried
Come and go
It’s as useless as it
You can go the end we know
You can go the end we know
I won’t tell you anything So far away you are from me
(you can go the end we know)
I won’t tell you anything So far away you are from me
(you can go the end we know)
I won’t tell you anything So far away
(you can go the end we)

No

Cry for me
Cry for him
Cry for the answer
Cry because it’s done
Cry for the feeling
Cry for the youth
All for the prize
(repeat)

My my
Swear it’s been a lifetime
Since I have been away
It’s the last time
But somehow it’s all the same

Where’s the boy

And it's true he was so young
But you are here
And the moment clouds your brain
You could've even saved him
That means nothing
You could've even been there
That's a lie
How can you blame him for your life?
It's a mental suicide
And it carries you away
Dissolve your fear into one
Dissolve will find a way
Then it's true we aren't immune
But there's a way
And denial clouds your brain
To try and understand him
That means nothing
To try and find the meaning
It's a lie
How can you blame him for your life?
It's a mental suicide
And it carries you away
Dissolve your fear into one
Dissolve will find a way
To right a wrong
To understand
To figure out
It's in His plans
To leave alone
To find a way
To figure out
It's not your fault
And it's the both of you he's ruined
He's torn away all the desire born inside
You could've even saved him
That means nothing
You could've even been there
That's a lie
To try and understand him
That means nothing
To try and find the meaning
It's a lie
To leave alone
To find a way
To figure out
It's not your fault
To see yourself
Your brother wouldn't be proud of you
Proud of you anymore

Just one more time he said as he crawls into his own
I'm doing fine he said as the tears fall down alone
Why must you question me?
Do you want your future blown?
Look at the sight of him
What can he do to show you?
Living life for others
Shuffle through the day
Everyone is out to get him
What do they have to say?
Pull yourself up out of this rut
Make it all come clean
Cause the day the sun gets in your eyes
Is the day that you'll be free?
Open the door
The world is too young
To see what you've felt before
When all the sleeps end restlessly
Without time
Dream yourself to sleep at night
Only lying beneath the clouds
Spend your lifetime in the shade
When the early morning sun wakes up
To reveal the pain you've laid

Not much of this makes sense to me.
The river leaves run cold and dry.
But it keeps me from swinging from tree to tree,
And sometimes I'm too scared to even try.

Hashing through the possibilities,
They seem as endless as the sky.
You seek the truth in a quiet breeze,
But the air is too thin to reply.

Well I know that's where I'll never be,
Cause I can see the summer's done.
I try to let the river flow in and out of me.
And pray I float the way I think I want,
And pray I float at all.

Distant notions of subtle residue,
Cling to minds from our past.
Tell us what is what, and who made who,
But time's events move us too fast.

Simple sentiment whisked away by anxious steel wool,
Struggling to content ourselves with what we think best.
That what makes happy of what we seem never full,
Is actually more than plenty, but it is already possessed.

Well I know that's where I'll never be,
Cause I can see the summer's done.
I try to let the river flow in and out of me.
And pray I float the way I think I want,
And pray I float at all.

Not much of this makes sense to me.
The river leaves run cold and dry.
But it keeps me from swinging from tree to tree,
And sometimes I'm too scared to even try.

Ultra confusion feigns clarity,
Scattered delusion excuses destiny.
It's never exactly what it appears to be.
Too much for any of us to even try,
Try to see.

Well I know that's where I'll never be,
Cause I can see the summer's done.
I try to let the river flow in and out of me.
And pray I float the way I think I want,
And pray I float at all.

There we stand about to fly,
peeking down over land,
parachute behind.
What was that moment for
which we live
without a parachute
about to dive?

Find myself convincing.
Blindly falling faster.
How easy.
Oh, know the place I'm leaving,
and the rest is just gone.

Oh, the adoration,
but how much strength does it take
for exploration,
for split decision?
Or are you stronger to remain?

Find myself convincing.
Blindly falling faster.
How easy.
Oh, know the place I'm leaving,
and the rest is just gone.

It crept up on me,
Ignored all my pleas.
Begging to leave,
No justice to maim me.
Fell out of the sky,
Cease it to be.
Without a reply,
Gravity fails me.
And when I awoke,
I knew what was real.
I hope to convince you,
Lies they all torture me.
Opened the door,
Knew what was me.
I finally realized,
Parachute over me.

Parachute over me.
Parachute over me.
