Jesus Wept

I knew it all along, you didn’t have to show me,
They taught you how to lie and steal and cheat and hate me.
I need you, you don’t need me.
Could I have been so wrong to think that I could trust you
With everything I own, my mind, and all that I know?
I need you, you don’t need me.
I need you, you don’t need me.
And then the time will come when I must sit and judge you
For everything you’ve done and everything you haven’t
You need me, I don’t need you.
You need me, I don’t need you.
You need me, I don’t need you.

It's Not Funny?
04:08
|

|
Calmly, I step off the train
Knowing things will never be the same.
I need to hear you say my name.
You are lightning, I am rain.
Yet, so fondly, I remember our first kiss.
It seems funny that we would end like this.
No, not funny, I guess karma is a bitch.
It’s not funny, it’s just sad.
Softly, I attempt a word.
Laughter renders it absurd.
Sadly, this is your belief:
You are gold, I’m just a thief.
Still, so fondly, I remember our first kiss.
It seems funny that we would end like this.
No, not funny, life is full of twists.
It’s not funny, it’s just sad.
Leaving, I throw out a smile—
Anchor in a sea of guile.
Clearly, not a second chance.
You’re the dancer, I’m the dance.
Then, so fondly, I remember our first kiss.
It seems funny that we would end like this.
No, not funny, I guess karma is a bitch.
It’s not funny, it’s just sad.

I know a girl,
Victoria is her name.
Since we first met
Nothing's been quite the same.
Well, I’ve got to unravel this mystery
Of why she’s got such a hold on me,
Victoria, what’s your secret?
I know a girl
That probably thinks that I’m a fool.
She doesn’t know
How hard it is to keep my cool.
Well, I’m hot on the trail and I’m looking for clues.
I’m out of my head what am I to do?
Victoria, what’s your secret?
She’s got a secret and it’s driving me mad.
She’s the best thing that I never had.
She’ll probably think it’s inappropriate
To talk this way but my mind’s made up.
Well, I’ve got to unravel this mystery
Of why she’s got such a hold on me,
Victoria, what’s your secret?

She Comes and She Goes
03:21
|

Time stands still
When she’s here with me;
Takes my love,
Then she’s a memory.
She comes and she goes.
She comes and she goes.
She comes and she goes.
She comes and she goes.
Well it’s been so long
Making sense of what went wrong,
And nobody knows,
She comes and she goes.
Took my dreams
And turned them upside down.
Stole my soul
And threw it to the ground.
She comes and she goes.
She comes and she goes.
She comes and she goes.
She comes and she goes.
Has it been so long?
Trying to forget she’s gone,
Her apathy shows,
She comes and she goes.
I don’t know
Why she does this to me.
Can’t let go
Now I’m in misery.
She comes and she goes.
She comes and she goes.
She comes and she goes.
She comes and she goes.
It’s been way too long
Since I heard her siren song.
And as the wind blows,
She comes and she goes.

Waking Up
03:33
|
|||
|
I know I’ve been asleep for years,
A nightmare that would never end.
Too afraid to face my fears,
It seems that I was my only friend.
Had to admit I was powerless—
I knew I didn’t want to die.
My heart cried out for happiness.
A miracle was sent in Love’s reply.
And now I’m waking up,
Living in a new light.
Waking up,
No more being uptight.
Waking up,
Got the gift of new sight.
Love is all around and I’m finally waking up.
Now, a change has come over me,
I'm finding faith that once was lost.
I'm getting rid of my vanity.
I've got to keep this feeling at any cost.
And now I’m waking up,
Living in a new light.
Waking up,
No more being uptight.
Waking up,
Got the gift of new sight.
Love is all around and I’m finally waking up.
I’ve come to appreciate the little things,
Like the sun rising over the ocean.
And when I feel insane I remember the pain,
And I don’t ever want to go back again.
And now I’m waking up,
Living in a new light.
Waking up,
No more being uptight.
Waking up,
Got the gift of new sight.
Love is all around and I’m finally waking up.
Yeah, Love is all around and I’m finally waking up.
Yeah, Love is all around and I’m finally waking up.

Blurry
05:00
|
|||
|
You walk into the room, full alert on high.
You see that no one's there and breathe an easy sigh.
You take a trip real quick just to shake the moonlight's dust.
You feel the blood flow through to lubricate the rust.
And when you call my name,
It all just sounds the same.
I wonder how long the feeling of blur will preside
Over me.
I feel just like a fish that's swimming in quicksand—
It doesn't come to me at all.
The meaning of these words hold no effect on you.
It seems so blurry on the fall.
And when you call my name,
It all just sounds the same.
I wonder how long the feeling of blur will preside
Over me.
It's so blurry all the time.
And when you call my name,
It all just sounds the same.
I wonder how long the feeling of blur will preside.
It's so blurry...
And I ain't in no hurry...

Gonna pass the wine.

What U R
04:25

Tell your god just how you feel.
Tease the soul attempt to deal.
What you get is so unreal.
Take the sum of what you are.
Lose the clothes, the cash, the car.
Chase the moon and burn the star.
Do we astound you?
What you feel is what you are.
Peel the skin back carefully.
Find the creature underneath:
Blood and bones and poetry.
Kiss the day and close your eyes.
Count to Zen and find the child:
Blood and bones and poetry.
May we astound you?
What you are is what you are.
Tell your god just how you feel.
Tease the soul attempt to deal.
What you get is so unreal.
Kiss the day and close your eyes.
Count to Zen and find the child:
Blood and bones and poetry.
May we surround you?
Are we beyond you?
Does it confound you?
The sound's inside you.
Do we astound you?
Just look around you.

Blind (A Martyr's Song)

She comes to me in dreams
And reaches out her hand—
Just to touch my face, just to feel me smile.
To be sure, I do if just for a while.
And if I dream, don't wake me.
She kisses me in dreams,
And I can taste the laughter
From a different time when her heart could fly.
In a different dream, well then so could I.
And if I dream, don't wake me now.
I pray to God don't wake me...
She touches me in dreams—
Her body like the Rapture.
Angels walk the earth; angels strike the ground.
Angels walk the earth; angels strike the ground.
And if I dream, don't wake me.
And if I dream, don't wake me now.
I pray to God don't wake me now.

All Falls Down
05:10
|

|
Now that all the cards are dealt,
I think I'll bet a grand.
I got the urge to double down.
I've got the winning hand.
Save me.
I can't go through this again.
Save me.
I know I shouldn't do it—
I really want to do it
'Cause then I'll be ahead of the game.
That's when it all falls down,
'Cause nothing good ever comes to me.
And when it all falls down,
I have a drink and it comforts me.
That's when it all falls down,
'Cause nothing good ever comes to me.
But why it all falls down
After all, it's a mystery to me.
I met a girl on a dating site.
All her pics were great.
We spoke a few times on the phone.
Should I make a date?
Save me.
I can't go through this again.
Save me.
I know I shouldn't do it—
I really want to do it
'Cause then I'll be on top of the world.
That's when it all falls down,
'Cause nothing good ever comes to me.
And when it all falls down,
I have a drink and it comforts me.
That's when it all falls down,
'Cause nothing good ever comes to me.
But why it all falls down
After all, it's a mystery to me.
Save me.
I can't go through this again.
Save me.
I know I shouldn't do it—
I really want to do it
'Cause then I'll be on top of the world.
That's when it all falls down,
'Cause nothing good ever comes to me.
And when it all falls down,
I have a drink, maybe two or three.
That's when it all falls down,
'Cause nothing good ever comes to me.
But why it all falls down
After all, it's a mystery to me.
That's when it all falls down.
That's when it all falls down.
That's when it all falls down.
That's when it all falls down.
That's when it all falls down.

Til the Morning Comes
05:08

What can I do?
What can I do to show you what you mean to me?
What can I say?
I just can’t tell you what to do and who to see.
Can’t get to sleep...
I think about you all the day and all the night.
I just can’t stop
'Cause when I see you I know everything’s alright.
I wanna hold you til the morning comes.
I wanna see the sun rise with you.
I wanna wake up and have you here beside me.
'Cause don’t you know, I love you.
I don’t know why
I can't believe that you can make me feel like this.
Please stay with me
And we can fall into a neverending kiss.
I can’t erase
The thought of you is running 'round inside my head.
I see your face—
My feeble heart just gets that feeling once again.
I wanna hold you til the morning comes.
I wanna see the sun rise with you.
I wanna wake up and have you here beside me.
'Cause don’t you know, I love you.
I wanna hold you til the morning comes.
I wanna see the sun rise with you.
I wanna wake up and have you here beside me.
'Cause don’t you know, I love you.
Bye bye...
