You
It's for you
Only you
It's for you

I never know
I never care
I never believe my people
I'll tell you what I say
I never lie
I never try
I never cry for you people
I'll push you
Push you away
As you lonely people
Keep on running around my door
Yes, you lonely people
Keep on begging
Beg for more
And I'll cry for you
Yes I'll die for you
And I'll tell you now how I feel inside
Feel in my heart it's for you

It's for you
Only you
It's for you

I'll never try
I'll never die
I'll never push for you people
I'll tell you how I feel
I'll never lie
I'll never cry
I'll never try for you people
I'll tell you, yes it's real
And you lonely people
Keep on passing time away
Yes you lonely people keep on passing,
Passing away

And I'll cry for you
Yes, I'll die for you
Pain in my heart it is real
And I'll tell you now how I feel inside
Feel in my heart it's for you
And I'll take everything
As it comes my way
Pushin' your pain 'round my door
Will I cry for you as I die for you?
Is this blood on my hands all for you?

You shiver
And shudder
Recovers your mother
You feel it take control
All alone
Feel alive
In your soul

Come around town
Steal another dime
Take another line
Won't you feel it
Blanket your soul
Out of mind
Come around town
Steal another dime
Do another crime
Won't you get it higher & higher
Roll through time
Come around town
Steal another dime
Don't you push your drugs in my face
Yes, I'm feeling
Feeling fine
Don't you push your drugs in my face
Or I'm gonna put you in your place
Fuck you
I don't want it no more
And it's mine
Said this pain in my heart is all mine
Yes, it's mine all alone

I don't want it no more
I don't want it no more
I don't want it no more
I don't want it no more

And it's mine on my own
Yes, it's mine all alone
As I cry for you
Yes, I'll die for you
Pain in my heart, it is real
And I'll take
Everything as it comes my way
Feel in my heart it's for you
And I'll lie for you as I die for you
Pain in my heart it is real
And I'll tell you now
How I feel inside
Fuck you
It's for you

Lights, they wash your face
Pale and misty white
Color flowers
Your eyes seem ever changing in my mind
Colors bleed to red
As I kiss your face
Want to tell you I love you
Everyday as we grow
See I know now
Yes I know now it's all my own
And I know now

Can you feel my pain
As you walk on by
Will you tell me you need me
Every time, yeah,
All alone

See I'll show you things never seen before
For your mind to untangle
On your own, all alone
Yes I know now
It's all my own
Yes I know now
I'll watch as you go
Yes I know
It's alright

And I know now
Yes I know now
It's all on my own
As you blossom
Yes, you blossom everyday
And I know now
Yes I know now it's all my own
As you blossom everyday
Everyday....

Oh, I don't feel my arms are breaking up
I don't fear my eyes are turning red
I don't feel my arms are breaking up
I don't feel you slipping from my hands

And I know now
Yes I know now it's all on my own
As you blossom everyday
And I know now
Yes I know now it's all on my own
As you blossom everyday
Now I know
Yes I know now
It's all on my own
As you blossom everyday

How people tell you lies.
I thought you felt the same.
Somehow he thought you’d be there
Help him beat me down, again.
It’s all I know.
So you want for me, some things we never see.
Left alone to fill time.
So empty all your thoughts now, turn around your hate,
Take a look at me.
Hang on security.
It’s all been overrated, this life you live, it’s not your own.
There's no one here to help you.
It’s all been unadulterated lies, they’ll keep telling you
They’ll keep telling you, how I want to
Raise it on my own,
Nothing special maybe, nothing special lately
Time to feel it on your own, time you want to take control
So you’ve told them all,
I thought you looked the same
Do you need this light to help you see it clearer again?
Closer to my letter,
You’re sharper these days, roll on security.
It’s all been overrated, this life to live, it’s not your own
There’s no one here to help you
And it’s all been unadulterated lies, they’ll keep telling you
They keep telling you, how I want to
Raise it on my own,
Nothing special lately, nothing special maybe
Time to feel it on your own,
Time you want to take control
No now fall, call for me to fall for
Everybody wants to tell you something,
Everybody wants to fill your, nothing.
Everybody wants to break you out now,
Everybody wants to take you out now.
And everybody wants to tell you,
And everybody wants to fill you in.
Do you think it’s time to tell them?
Yes I think it’s time you shove them a little harder.
Yes I think it’s time that you pushed them over
Don’t you think it’s time you told them stop!
Raise it on my own no, no time to feel your soulless lately
Everybody wants to tell you something,
Everybody wants to bring you something,
Everybody wants to take you,
And everybody wants to bring you down
Time you feel it in your own,
Time you let them take control,
Time you fill their needs,
So empty all your thoughts my friends
For everybody wants to break you,
And everybody wants to push you around

Sounds to be where, you want to scream
Always left without saying hello
I’ve seen chains that bear less snap and fall long before you let go
Times run over you sink onto my floor,
It’s ok, we’ve cleaned them many times before
Simple lessons are, simple lessons are, simple lessons are,
Simple lessons are, simple.
Sounds might be where, yeah I want to cry
Always left before I said hello
He’s had days where shades of brilliance never granted him space
Green shades of painful rains, it’s ok, they’ll wash away now
Simple lessons are, simple lessons are, simple lessons are,
Simple lessons are, simple.
Always taught you how, drain yourself empty
Always taught you how, drain yourself empty
We’re all scarred up from ages of childish games
Yet I’ve never seen your head up higher
It feels real this time,
I see you happy again
Reel in it for a while, oh enough to take my place
Sounds to be where
you want to scream
Always left without saying hello
I've seen chains that bear less, snap and fall long before you,
Long before you let go

Quiet down now, hush hush my friend
Quiet down now, hush hush my friend
When all the other left, when all the others left
When all the other left, when all the others...
I know you’d stick around, come here now
I know you’d stick around, come here now
When all the others talked, when all the others talked

My best friend, my, she never left my side
So come here now sit. Quiet down. Come here now sit
Quiet down now, quiet down friend

Lie down now, lie down my friend
Lie down now, hush hush my friend
My best friend, my, my very best friend
My best friend, my, my very best friend

She don't have a name
She don't have a face
Never had much of anything
Yes I see you and I fall from grace

She don't have the line
She don't have the time
Never had much of anything
Yes I see you
I point too
You waste me
You want oh my my

Still she don't have a name
She don't have a face
Never had much anything
Yes I see you and I fall from grace
She don't have the line
She don't have the time
Never had much of anything
Yes I see you
You waste me
You want me oh my, my
And I'm losing you again now

No, No, No, No
Feel you slip right down now
Something's on my mind
I can't find the time
Someone's got arrow
Someone's got arrow
Something's on my mind I wanna tell you but that I can't find the time
I wanna feel it
Someone's got arrow
Someone's got arrow

If there's one thing you feel I should tell you before I go
I won't
If there's one thing you feel I should tell you I move it along
Arrow

Arrow
Arrow, yeah
Yeah, yeah, now now
I feel I'm losing you again now
No, no, no, no
Feel you slip right down now
Something's on my mind
I can't find the time
Someone's got arrow
Someone's got arrow
Something's on my mind I wanna tell you but that I can't find the time
I wanna feel it
Someone's got arrow
Someone's got arrow

Sometimes you wake to see yourself
Take happier pills to keep you well
And sometimes you talk to hear yourself
Screaming out loud
Never ever heard a word you said
Can't you see yourself?
Can't you understand?
There's more truth in the way that you lie
But you take a stab at all that's surrounding your mind
Can't you sweep this shit to the side
It's so fucking nice to have you here
To turn our lives from what we fear
But sometimes you're worthless and weak and alone
Will you ever grow?
Here I am I want to help you out
Can't you see yourself?
Can't you understand?
There's more truth in the way that you lie
so you take a stab at all that's surrounding your mind
Well you won't believe when this cloud lifts what you might find
You'll find it's all over and can't you see it's all over
Stares back at you, from these happy pills
They won't keep you well tonight
I'll be here to watch you shudder
I'll be the one that holds you under
Every time you try to shift it
Every time your stitch is slipping
Slipping through time
There's more truth in the way that you lie
So you take a stab at all that's surrounding your mind
Well you won't believe when this cloud lifts what you might find
Got it all over you now
Got it all over you now
Got it all over this
The face that stares back at you from these happy pills
They won't keep you well tonight

Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But I did it anyway
And now maybe
Some would say your life was sad
But you lived it anyway
And so maybe
Your friends they stand around they watch your crumble
As you falter to the ground
And then someday
Your friends they stand beside as you were flying
Oh you were flying oh so high
But them someday people look at you for what they call their own
They watch you suffer
Yeah they hear you calling home
But then some day we could take our time
To brush the leaves aside so you can reach us
But you left me far behind

Now maybe
I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain

No, no, no
Couldn't share the pain, they watch you suffer
Now maybe I could have made my own mistakes
But I live with what I've known
And then maybe we might share in something great
But won't you look at where we've grown
Won't you look at where we've gone
But then someday comes tomorrow holds a sense of what I feel for you in my mind
As you trip the final line
And that cold day when you lost control
Shame you left my life so soon you should have told me
But you left me far behind

Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain No, no, no

Now maybe I didn't mean to treat you oh so bad
But I did it anyway
Now maybe some would say you're left with what you had
But you couldn't share the pain
I said times have changed your friends
They come and watch you crumble to the ground
They watch you suffer
Yeah, they hold you down
Hold you down
Now maybe brother, maybe love
I didn't mean to treat you bad
But you left me far behind
Left me far behind
Left me far behind

As I stand here
I ponder greater things
You're no longer a part of
A part of your lover's dreams
So much for your
Common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation
For what's to come
It's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come

As I sit here I'll tell you greater things
You're no longer a part of
A part of someone else's dreams
So much for your
So much for your
Constant fabrications
For what's to come
It's all been written down, down, down
I said for what's to come
For what's to come your way
It's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come

Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on child
Keep on child
You push it on
Keep on my time
I run around for you
Keep on time
Keep on time
You run along
Keep on child
Keep on child
You push it on
Keep on my time now
I run around for you
Run around for you
But you've gotta keep on, keep it on

You don't know yet
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
But you'll feel it in your soul
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
You don't know yet
But you feel it in your soul
Feel it in your soul now
Do you feel that a change is gonna come?
Do you feel that a change is gonna come?

No
As I lay here
I wanna fall asleep
No longer,
No longer a part of
A part of your TV screen
A part of your TV dreams
I said so much for your
So much for your
So much for your
Your common complications
So much for your
Constant desperation
For what's to come it's all been written
Down, written down
But I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come
I said I feel so alive now
And you know I feel that a change is
A change is gonna come

Another lie for us to live in
Pages pick it up anytime she likes
Another life for her to put down, pick it up, pick it up
Anytime she might find enough to get her high
And I’ll get her high
Turn it off I found her weakness
Boxes filled with memories shavings
Lead into something better,
I heard it yesterday
Old news my friend,
She’s broken hearted
I know, she’d seen it all along,
She’s better off lately
They said it’s all she’s after,
Every time, every time
Can she free it?
Has it all been wasted?
Can we see her one last time?
Another lie for her to live in
Breakdowns, pull her out and knock us down every time
Another time for her to find out
And then she’ll fall down. Gently,
Until she’s broken hearted
I know, she’d seen it all along,
She’s better of lately
They said it’s all she’s after
Every time, every time
Can she free it?
Has it all been wasted?
Can she free it one last time?
Can she free it?
So when she lays her head down,
Do you read all the thoughts that she reads aloud,
She can, she can see through
And when she says he’s found out,
All the things that she though we would read about,
She can, she can see through
And when she says she’s played out,
All the dreams that she thought she could dream about,
Do you feel, do you feel, do you feel,
Do you feel the need to break free?
Is it all she’s made of?

Cover me
When I walk alone
Cover me
When my stance it stumbles home
Cover me
We'll trip on through the sands of time
And cover me
'Cause I've been branded
I've lost my mind
Lost my mind
But you'll cover me yeah
Won't you give me shelter from the storm

Over me
You fade into the night
Over me
You melt into the light
Over me
You will fear the things I need
Over me
You will feel the hate I breed
And you will question my authority
You're under me
And you will lose almost everything
You're under me
You will feel the pain I wanna bring you
You're under me
You never change
Never change a fucking thing
Not a, a fucking thing
But you - you'll cover me
Yeah, give me shelter from the storm
Cover me
Cover me
Won't you
Cover me
Cover me
Don't you
Cover me
Cover me
Give me shelter from the storm

People push & shove on time
I give it to you
What I have is what is mine I feel it for you
You've got to cover me
You've got to cover me
People take & people steal
I have it for you
What I have is what I fear
I fear it for you
You've got to cover me
'Cause I've been branded a broken man
Broken man
But you'll cover me, yes
Won't you give me
Give me shelter from the storm
Cover me
Cover me
Won't you
Cover me
Cover me
Don't you
Cover me
Cover me
Give me shelter from the storm

It's alright what you confess to me
Where you're at right now baby, it's alright with me
Behind your truths or somewhere inside your lies
These long cold days of gray, they color your eyes
And it's alright, what you confide in me
Where we're at right now baby, it's where we need to be
And I can see things so clearly through tear-stained eyes
The side effects of time in all our good-byes, and it's alright
I got lost some time ago,
Lost in your song, your touch, your smile
And where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blond-washed hair from an ocean-side domain
Drifting into me, I found myself again, in her song
It's alright what you say to me
How you feel right now baby, shows an everlasting need
Behind the truth, there's something inside your lies
These long cold days of rain, they're hiding your eyes
And it's alright, what you express to me
Your song escapes me to this place I want to be
So sing to me baby, your song can carry me
Through endless weeks of rain and onto sweeter things
I got lost some time ago,
Lost in your song, your touch, your smile
And where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blond-washed hair from an ocean-side domain
Drifting into me, I found myself again, in her song
Oh sing to me baby, your song can carry me
In all she's revealed I found I could always see
How her ways could flow and run over me
And I found this reason to learn
And i found this reason to decide
As many days come and many days go
I'll never know why
And it's alright
I got lost some time ago,
Lost in your song, your touch, your smile
And where I want to grow old
And you glimmer and gleam like a blond-washed hair from an ocean-side domain
Drifting into me, I found myself again, in her song

I wipe the night from my eyes
Block out the sunny day and I hide
Everything's falling down around us
I'm just missing the rain
I'm happier now today
Don't let me down
Don't let me go
A change of seasons inside her mind
In time I'll decide
In time I'll decide to move on
We change directions, we watch the tides
And we borrow too much
We form restrictions and we form lines
And we separate you from me
Sometimes, sometimes we carry more weight than we own
Oh but sometimes sometimes goes on
Night takes the light by the hand
Tunes out the boring day and cries out loud
Everyone's hanging on, hanging on my words
It kills the thrill in being divine
But she's happier now today
Don't let her go
There are no reasons there are no lies
We just bleed together
That's how we realize
We change directions we watch the tides
And we borrow too much
We From restrictions and we form lines
We separate you from me
Sometimes sometimes we carry more weight than we own
Oh but sometimes sometimes goes on
Somehow we'll find a way we've got to paste it back together
These ripped out pages of old coloring books where your
Gold is silver, my blue is gray
Its all held together by cellophane tape
but We change directions, we watch the tides
And we borrow too much
We form restrictions and we form lines
We separate you from me
Sometimes sometimes we carry more weight than we own
Oh but sometimes sometimes goes on
In my head I've got everything I want in you

Feels like the same today
10,000 horses drag me down
Seems like the same you say
10,000 voices crying out
You put on yourself, you'll see
there's nothing left at all
10,000 fingers dragging me down down down
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
It's all about to change
Seems like the same your ways of moving on
10,000 lies, you're washing your hands of everything else
So put on yourself you'll see
There's nothing left at all
10,000 stares they're bringing me down down down
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
That everybody's giving to me
Won't let my hands get tied
I'm gonna ride it all out
Never gonna slow down this time
It's all about to change
Change from the past for knowledge tomorrow
Carries me on my way
I feel you pressing
These words left unspoken
Change for the sake, change for the sake of change
Seems like the same you say
10,000 cracks you're walking on
Fells like the same to say
10,000 voices calling on
You put on yourself
You'll see there's nothing left at all
But 10,000 horses bringing me down down down
Never want to slow down
I keep rollin' on
Never want to slow down
What I feel and what I know
Oh it feels like the strain
That everybody's giving to me
Won't let my hands get tied
I'm gonna ride it all out
Never gonna slow down this time
It's all about to change

Like a breaking
Inside my head
Storms of treason
Lips of red
I trace the sand back
To your bed
If your blackened heart is twisted in my head

Give me some love
For no reason
You'll only know,
It's been all four seasons
Under the pillow
From a God
No chance to part it
We're glowing souls

And on and on the sun shines, today
Leave it outside you know they're suffering
If you want to find out, it takes another day
Leave it outside you know it'll wash away

You let me swim in-
Side your eyes
I found the reasons
To believe the lies
Trace back the circles
Inside your mind
I found I'm running round
And broken down for life

Give me some love
For no reason
You'll only know,
It's been all four seasons
Under the pillow
From a God
No chance to part it
We're glowing souls

And on and on the sun shines, today
Leave it outside you know they're suffering
If you want to find out, it takes another day
Leave it outside you know it'll wash away
On and on the sun shined, today
Find a little time to know the suffering
On and on and sometimes
It takes another day
Leave it outside you know it'll wash away

Never, never, never, never, never, never

And on and on the sun shines, today
Leave it outside you know they're suffering
If you want to find out, it takes another day
Leave it outside you know it'll wash away
On and on the sun shined, today
Find a little time to know the suffering
On and on and sometimes
It takes another day
Leave it outside you know it'll wash away
