A Better Place
01:18
|

|
I am in a better place
I have no fears to face
I used to be lost and scared, I was locked in a cage
But now I'm free, I'm in a better place

A ghost, a spirit lingers near
It tries to touch, it needs us so much
But we can not feel its arm at our side
We can't hear when it cries
And that's how we like it
If only we'd look up
A ghost, a spirit lingers near
Its empty husk has poured out in front of us
Pleas and feelings long ago faded away
And that's where they'll stay
Because that's how we like it
If only we'd look up

Preachers

You're preaching to the choir
I'm preaching, too
I'm preaching at you, our words just pass right through
Through our open mouths
Through our ears and out
I don't even know what the hell I'm talking about
But I'll keep on preaching, yeah,hear me shout
A dark and empty room
And empty me and you
Blinded by our own thoughts and deaf to anything new
Because what we know is best
But I really must confess
I don't even know what the hell I'm doing in this mess
But I'll keep on preaching, yeah, hear me shout
Because I don't know how to get out
I'm in too deep, it's too late to back down
But I'll win this fight, whatever it's about
|

|
It's okay, it's just one more day
Gone by, set aside, fading away
Bye bye, but don't cry
It's all going to be alright
Because you are always alright
Yeah, it's alright
To spend some time, a day or two
Or maybe a week
Maybe a month, oh, to do whatever you want to do
Because at the very last minute everything always seems to work itself out
I'm sure everything will work itself out

They Dream
05:01

He dreams of love
He dreams of more than this life
He dreams of slow dancing in the candle light
But he puts on his mask, meets all of his friends
Thinking maybe at the party he will find something worth living for at last
She dreams of love
She dreams of more than this life
She dreams of slow dancing in the candle light
But she puts on her mask, meets all of her friends
Thinking maybe at the party she will find something to live for at last
Something to live for at last
Then the drinking begins of tonics and gins
Of empty laughs and grins
And her eyes meet his
They glimpse at love
They glimpse at each other
Through the holes in their masks
As they leave, they die
They glide back home
Now they dream alone
Now they dream alone

Alone
01:36
|

Oh Lord, my light
Please hear my prayer
Oh, lonely night
Please send someone by my side
Oh, bottle of mine
Please grant me courage

Blessed Are Those
03:07

Blessed are those who are comfortably lonely
Who have no one to lose
Blessed are those who never walk home drunk alone
Who have someone to hold onto

Explorers into Space
02:48
|
|||
|
I waited for you there, but I couldn't find your face
Except for once or twice a month on such sunny days
I waited there for half a year, hardly a trace
Of doubt that we would spend our lives in each other's embrace
I'd call out for you and you'd call my name
It was rarely very reassuring, but I'd smile all the same
Then one day I found you - "Rejoice, my love is safe!"
But tears were in your eyes and soon to mine they came
My world was ripped inside out and burst into flame
My smile, not my love, gave way to sadness, anger, and shame
But in some time, our tears, they dried and were replaced
By lights in our eyes, our friendship can survive if we change it
And so we part our ways, explorers into space
Happy in the knowledge that this isn't the end and we can meet again as friends in that place

Let's Just Dance Now
02:16

Tonight we'll all put on a show and on and on and on and on
Tonight we'll all put on a show and on and on and on and on
The days, they'll go, the nights, they'll go, and on and on
They'll go right by, so
Tonight let's all put on a show for God, that he might nod (He nods)
That life might go and oh, you know, it goes and on and on and on
Our lives, they'll go before we even know, you know
So let's just dance now
Tonight we'll all put on a show and on and on and on and on
That life might go and oh, you know, it goes and on and on and on and on

What Do I Know?
02:25
|
|||
|
Don't believe everything that you hear
Who knows where they got it from?
And don't believe everything that you breathe or think
Who knows where you got it from?
I don't believe anything
I don't believe anyone
I can't believe anymore
But don't believe a single word that I say
What do I know, anyway?
|

14. |

Are you there, old friend? I hope you hear me
God, I hope I reach you
Standing silently, you're waiting
In the spot where I last beat you
I'm still here
Let's be whole again
I never wanted to hurt you, friend
I feel your pain, I see you
Standing silently and shaking
In the mirror as I beat you
I'm still here
But you got lost again

Merrily

Merrily
Tirelessly
I will sweat and I will bleed
Merrily
Hatefully
I will smile and dance and sing
Merrily
Fearfully
I will shut my eyes to see
Merrily
Desperately
I will tell myself everything is alright
I will dance and I will sing and I will smile my best smile for me
I will watch and clap my hands and shout "Oh, god, I'm so happy"
I will dance and I will sing and I will smile my best smile forever
I will watch and clap my hands forever so I'll stay happy
I've never been happier

It's Just Me
02:27
|

|
In my cage I will sleep
I will make not a peep
In my cage I will sleep
I will make not a peep, I'll just be dreaming
That I will wake up and see
That one day I will wake up and see
That there is no cage, it's just me
In my cage, I will dream
That one day, I'll be freed
In my cage, I will sink
And drown in the water that's rising all around me
|

Damn It All
02:18
|
|||
|
Damn it all to Hell
I think I'm lost, I can't remember anything
How did I get here and how did it come to this?
I'm sinking, I'm drowning, I'm trapped, I'm hopeless
Damn it all to Hell
I've got to free myself
I'm sinking, I'm drowning, but oh well
I guess I'll go for a swim
The water's fine, so come on in

Blind, Deaf, and Numb
04:02
|
|||
|
Oh, the sun and harmony I seek is all around me
I just have to get lost in thought
Shut my eyes to see it
Plug my ears to hear it
Cut my nerves to feel it
All around me
No more pity No more hate
No more poverty No more pain
No more guilt No more sadness
No more empathy No more shame
No more war No more lies
No more disease No more greed
No more death No more distrust
All around me And uncertainty
No more anger No more failure
No more entropy No more atrophy
No more darkness No more emptiness
Just sun and harmony I'm so happy
Just sun and harmony I'm so happy
Just sun and harmony I'm so happy
Just sun and harmony I'm so happy
Just sun and harmony I'm so happy
Shut my eyes to see it
Plug my ears to hear it
Cut my nerves to feel it

A Better Place
05:43
|
|||
|
I try to lie that I'm not blind
But all my eyes can see is my own light
And I left to Heaven as a deaf
When I accepted emptiness
But I've had fun being so numb
So dumb to think that I could shun
That I was in a higher place
A safer place, a better place
You think that you're so smart?
I guess so
You think you've come so far?
I think so
You think you're so much better?
I thought so
You're just like how you started
I know
I was blind, but now I see reality
I can't block out the shouting from my mirror anymore
I feel the shame, the strain, the pain, I feel the rain
But now that I can see and hear and feel what's real
I smile because I'm free
I'm in a better place
