Water Ceremony
. . .


If your back is pinned against the wall
And the stress is killing you,
And the cross you carry on your back
Makes it hard for you to move
In yourself believe, it's all right
In yourself believe, you're all right

If you ran away to lose your soul
And you're scared to death you're wrong,
If you're past the point of turning back
And your innocence is gone
In yourself believe, it's all right
In yourself believe, it's all right

If it's something that you can't forget
That somebody did to you
If you've had your fill of being down
Then there's nothing left to prove,
In yourself believe, it's all right
In yourself believe, you're all right

. . .


Help me let me tell you
What you mean to me
I don't want to scare you
Make you run from me

Or let's pretend it's tomorrow
And we borrowed
The life of a perfect spinning circus
In a manic moonlight

Shy on taking chances
High on giving up
Sliding down the mountain
Drowning in the mud

Gone or moving faster
Run or walking after
Some kind of fountain of truth

Or let's pretend it's tomorrow
And we borrowed
The life of a perfect spinning circus
In a manic moonlight

. . .


I hate the world because of you,
The blame is my mistake.

Yeah..

Present company decline,
An aura void of truth.

Yeah..

Please forgive me for my attitude
I'm choosing to stay on my side
Live with an addict you pick up a habit
of letting them destroy your life

I hate the world because of you.

Yeah..

. . .


I guess I'm finally giving up
I have to let you go
Guess you made it perfectly clear
It's hard for me to know

Guess it was a false alarm

You came along and made me smile
And wrote between the lines
You opened up my heart and soul
And made me feel alive

Guess it was a false alarm

If I could wave a magic wand
And make my dreams come true
I'd make my feelings go away
And make you want me too

Difficult to tell the truth
Actions contradict
Hanging on to every word
There's something that I missed

Guess it was a false alarm

. . .


I don't wanna do this anymore
I really wanna do it

Hello, I didn't mean to hide my feelings from you
I was afraid of what you would say and go tell somebody

I don't wanna do this anymore
I really wanna do it

Hello, I didn't mean to put my faith in you
I was afraid of losing my place and get nothing from this

I don't wanna do this anymore
I really wanna do it

Give me your address I'll send you my life in a jar maybe,
You can give it to whosoever you like

I don't wanna do this anymore
I really wanna do it

Goodbye, I can go back to my pondering
I was ashamed, but not anymore and I thank you for it

I don't wanna do this anymore
I really wanna do it

Goodbye, to my heart shaped box in the trash today

. . .


The sewer pipe queen,
Dangles my dream
Makes all that I've seen,
Seem so obscene
Pitch pennies with heels,
Watch them roll like wheels
As I toot on my flute,
Writing songs about the naked truth

With prayer and sin
And sinister mens
Pale visions of grins
Ride on skeptical winds

Drink water from wells
Live your life in hell
Whatever oh well
What a masterpiece made out of silver
Beg borrow or steal
Make it seem unreal
Let Caesar attend
Bring his so called friends
Start a solo band
Make it second hand
Make sure if you can
That you don't go down with the drowning man

With prayer and sin
And sinister mens
Pale visions of grins
Ride on skeptical winds

Mia Farrow's so cute
So is Kim in her suit
Who stands on the shore
And makes friends with brutes

With prayer and sin
And sinister mens
Pale visions of grins
Ride on skeptical winds

. . .


Summertime, we're alive,
I will try, when it's time,
I will see you
I will see you
On the other side.

How it goes, now I know,
Can't you say, it isn't so
I will see you,
I will see you,
On the other side.

That's all right, though I'd die
It's the truth, I love you
I will see you
I will see you
On the other side.

I will see you

. . .


If I didn't have a brain
Then I couldn't feel no pain
And the longing to be happy
If I didn't have a name
And everybody looked the same
Maybe I could see the difference

I would give it all away

If I didn't have to change
Everything that I became
Maybe I could find some loving
If I didn't have a dream
or the rest of everything
Well I'd still be missing something

I would give it all away

If I didn't have a life
And freedom didn't have a price
Maybe I would be a rich man
If I wasn't incomplete
And could control the rest of me
I'd fill this hole and let it bleed

I would give it all away

. . .


Let me tell you something
Let me tell you nothing
Let me tell you everything that you don't know
Come in with your feelings
Come in are you leaving?
Come and tell me everything that you know

I can't wait to see you smile
I can't wait to see you cry
I can't wait to see you high on everything
I can't wait to see you fly
I can't wait to see you die
I can't wait to see you shining like a diamond

I thought the dream was coming true
Just the way I wanted to

Yeah you got me reeling
Should I start believing
Yeah you got me thinking every single minute of the day

I can't wait to see you smile
I can't wait to see you cry
I can't wait to see you high on everything
I can't wait to see you fly
I can't wait to see you die
I can't wait to see you shining like a diamond

I thought the dream was coming true
Just the way I wanted to

Jenna tell ya something
Jenna tell ya one thing
Jenna tell ya one thing that you'll never never know

I can't wait to see you smile
I can't wait to see you cry
I can't wait to see you high on everything
I can't wait to see you fly
I can't wait to see you die
I can't wait to see you shining like a diamond

I thought the dream was coming true
Just the way I wanted to
