All this pain surrounding me; hopelessness is all that i see now.
Does it have to be this way?
Brought up on hipocrisy,the seeds they sow don't last forever,
they just fade away...

Don't be confused by the lies of the fools and deceivers.
Hope and believe in the things that we need to survive.

We ca make it if we'd only take the gift of faith.
We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith.

Take away my dignity, take away my hope and my freedom.
You got a world full of rage.
Don't cover me with apathy. Don't buy and sell what I believe in.
Don't lock me in a cage.

In a world where no one's alone, trust should come easily.
Just reach out your hand, and I'll give you mine.

We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith.
We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith.

Don't be confused by the lies of the fools and deceivers.
Hope and believe in the things that we need to survive.

We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith.
We can change it if we'd just accept the gift of faith.

We can make it if we'd only take the gift of faith.
It's yours to choose, but only fools refuse the gift of faith.

I was born in the land of the sun
And the tall green grass
And I don't understand
How all this has come to pass
How we've come to surround ourselves
In a sea of thieves
In a land without learning
Only the fools believe

I went driving last night
On a dark canyon road
Had the sky to myself
But I wasn't alone
Had the pain of my lifetime
For my company
How did it end up like this
For you and me

When love breaks the promise
The heart has to keep
It leaves only truth here to find
When the spirit is crushed
And the hurt is so deep
Between you and I

Even when love has come and gone
And our hearts have moved along
I will remember
There was a time we had the trust
And that always was enough
I will remember
I will remember you

As I open my eyes to one more day
The wind burns my face
As it whispers your name
As it's pulling me forward
It tears me free
And the only thing left
Is the tears for you and me

'Cause when love breaks the promise
The heart has to keep
It leaves only truth here to find
When the spirit is crushed
And hurt is so deep
Between you and I

Even when love has come and gone
And our hearts have moved along
I will remember
There was a time we had the trust
And that always was enough
I will remember

Even when love has come and gone
And our hearts have moved along
I will remember
There was a time we had the trust
And that always was enough
I will remember
I will remember you

You're a soul with no religion
There's ice in your embrace
In your dance of indecision
I see the anger in your face

A little drink to help my vision
A little something for the pain
There's no drug for my condition
There's no sweetness in the taste

Tell me where the ride's gonna lead you
Do I have to pay to be your friend?
There's nothing left to say
When you slipped away

I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me
When you slipped away
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

You're a world of blind ambition
Staring through the looking glass
You will meet your own collision
When your conscience comes to ask

Steal the love from those around you
Help yourself to everything
Take the shelter that surrounds you
It leaves you standing in the rain

Tell me if the money can heal you
Do I have to pray to make it end?
There's nothing left to say
When you slipped away

I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me
When you slipped away
I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

[Instrumental brake]

When you slipped away

I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

I can see you fading fast
I won't let you take me

I can see your burning stare
Nothing's gonna shake me
As you slip away

I left you crying on that angry morning
You know I lied
I'll always run from anything that loves me
To my safe side

My world circles 'round a different sun
That's all burned away
I know that you're the only one
Now I'm walking down some distant street
And I know your touch is out of reach

Girl you belong to me I know
And it was wrong for me to ever let you go
Girl you belong to me I know

Everybody has a lonely moment
They can't explain
And everybody wants to feed their hunger
Without the pain

There's no shadows in my hiding place
I'm so locked away
Now I wish that I could see your face
I know I hurt you when you say we're through
I never really will get over you 'cause

Girl you belong to me I know
And it was wrong for me to ever let you go
Girl you belong to me I know

[Instrumental brake]

Girl you belong to me I know
And it was wrong for me to ever let you go
[Repeat with fade]

I went down to the highway
That runs between love and pride
And I tried to get sideways
Across the great divide
But my mind's eye's on the key ring
Crying in misery
'Cause it won't spend one more evening
Staring back to me

It may be by choice
Or a small inner voice
I can't say
When you add up the cost
We all have a cross
How do you write off the loss?

Where do I go from here?
How do I find my way?
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back

Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
It's a new kind of fix
For the poor and the rich
You never know what's coming next
At the turning point

The rules are unwritten
And nobody knows the deal
Where have I been driven
Are demons behind the wheel?
Yeah, I know my days are numbered
We're only flesh and bone
And I've been left to wonder
How it went so wrong

Is it all tailor made?
Can the sinner be saved?
I can't say
So don't hang your hat
On the knife im my back
'Cause nobody treats me like that

Where do I go from here?
How do I find my way?
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back

Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
It's a new kind of fix
For the poor and the rich
You never know what's coming next
At the turning point

[Instrumental brake]

Where do I go from here?
How do I find my way?
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back

Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
When is it loud and clear?
That there's no turning back
No looking back

Where do I go from here?
Nobody gets away
It's a new kind of fix
For the poor and the rich
You never know what's coming next
At the turning point

They keep looking through the window
A cathode glaze across their eyes
Now that I've been betrayed
I must be well behaved
I'll drink corruption with their lies

Why was I hiding out?
What am I running from?
Why are they waiting?
Have I always been the choosen one?

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me

I wish that lady would defend me
I can't abide by all the laws
I'll buy the magistrate
Can't be a second late
I anxiously await his call

Who made this jigsaw puzzle?
Who'll put the pieces back?
Who'll come and get me
When I have fallen through the cracks?

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me

[Instrumental brake]

Who made this jigsaw puzzle?
Who'll put the pieces back?
Who'll come and get me
When I have fallen through the cracks?

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see

Drag him to the roof
Just push me over
I've got no better place to be
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's not a pretty thing to see

Drag him to the roof
Drag him to the roof
Let's get it over
It's a perfect day to punish me

[Instrumental]
