Queensrÿche Album

[No lyrics]

What? You say...

You're through with me, I'm not through with you
We've had what others might call love
You say it's over now, what's done, what's through?
You can't stay away, you need me, I need you

When the fire starts the pain's too much for your mind
You need attention, what's good is only mine
I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart
So just come to me, I'll take you home

We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream (walk with me)
We'll walk in the shadows

You say you don't feel safe alone tonight
Cause you feel the pressure building in your head
Our secret's safe for one more night
But when the morning comes remember, I'll be with you

We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream (walk with me)
We'll walk in the shadows
One day you'll be with me, if only you believe

We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream (walk with me)
We'll walk in the shadows
You got to stay with me (walk with me)

Walk in the shadows (walk with me)
Walk in the shadows (walk with me)
Walk in the shadows (walk with me)
Walk in the shadows (walk with me)
Walk in the shadows (walk with me)
(Walk with me...)

Most of this is memory now
I've gone too far to turn back now
I'm not quite what I thought I was but
Then again I'm maybe more
The blood-words promised, I've spoken
Releasing the names from the circle
Maybe I can leave here now and, o
Transcend the boundaries

For now I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
The future is but past forgotten
On the road to madness

Times measure rusts as it crawls
I see its face in the looking glass - stop
This screaming laughter hides, the pain of its reality
Black, the door was locked I opened
And now I've paid that price ten-fold over
Knowledge - was it worth such torment, oh
To see the far side of shadow

And still I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
I'm a fool in search of wisdom
And I'm on the road to madness
Yes, I'm on the road to madness

I'm awaiting endlessly
Pounding rhythms echo me
Won't you take me somewhere far beyond the void

And still I'm standing here
I'm awaiting this grand transition
Maybe one day, oh I'll meet you, and we'll
Walk the roads to madness
Yes, we're on the road to madness

Oh, I think they've come to take me
I hear the voice, but there's no-one to see
I can't scream, too late it's time

Stay on the course to pass
You'll never find the answer
To a place where darkened angels
Seemed lost and never found
Scream to see the light of
Forming figures fast behind you
Lay the past in the wind to spin
And your fate will sail beyond the open plains
Sail with angels onward
Live or die for the chosen one said
Saber sights cast a spell behind you
And they lock in all around

Free the scene insider
Never looking back to find why
Ride a course till the end of time
And you'll stand atop the gate
Laying waste in a path recited
Fighting force won't avenge the guided black wing
Oh, electric might poses fright inside me
Seeing light at the end of sight reminds me
I've passed away

On a lonely walk this morning
A light mist in the air
Dark clouds laughing at me in silence
Casting shadows through my hair

In the distance I saw a woman
Dressed in black with eyes of grey
She wore her pain like a shackled spirit
Eternal life was her debt to pay

The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wore black
Her mystic power calls to me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me free

The wind song whispered a warning
Telling me to beware
Of the quiet shadowed woman
And of the sadness I would share

We sat for sometime together in silence
Never speaking in words
Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes
And I listened remembering all I heard

The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wore black
Her mystic power calls to me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me free

The words she spoke were of forgotten lives
And of all knowledge gained
Mem'ries I had and didn't know why
With a smile she explained
I should have listened to the wind's cold warning
And walked the other way
I touched her soul and now I bear her sentence
But for her love I'll gladly pay

The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wore black
Her mystic power calls to me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me free

It was November 4th
I last held your hand
It seemed our time would last forever
You said don't ever leave
I thought you'd never go
I wish I could just remember your name...

You're just a memory now
Like all the ones before
But with your pain I've had to suffer
Your eyes alight with flame
As the picture burns
I hear the screams from long ago

They cry remember, blood-red streaks on
velvet throats at night
The streetlights fanned our trail of fame
through

London London
The memories will never leave me
London London
All I see is you
London London
The cries in the night
Keep bringing me to
London London
Calling out to me

Oh there's some things in life I could never face
The worst is being alone
Sometimes I wish I could have taken your
place my love
You know I don't want to live forever

Oh let me see you standing in the
shadows once again
We'll walk the streets like long ago in

London London
The fire in your eyes will be bringing me to
London London
All I need is you
The cries in the night keep ringing on in
London London
Calling out to you

I am the beat of your pulse
The computer word made flesh
We are one you and I
We are versions of the same
When you can see what I feel
Don't turn your back on me
Or you might find that your dreams
Are only program cards

Your mind is open for me
Open for intake of all propaganda
Your Eyes see now what to see
My eyes see only the programs you give me

I'll teach you to laugh and to cry
They're really the same you'll see
All of the why's in your life
Are under my control
Feed me more lines
I will try to tell you all I can
Before the light you must know what lies
Behind my screams

I can't tell you all I know
Am I the son that you've always been wanting
There's more to me than what shows
Are you my father
The one that was promised

Hush now, I'll give all you need to know
and pre-live your dreams for you
You're a good boy

Freedom belongs only to those
Without video screens
For eyes and mouth

You have no voice
To be heard my son
No one can hear when you're
Screaming in Digital

I'm not your slave
You can't control my emotions
No Father, please let me keep learning

Can't you see I'm human
Can't you tell

I'm not your slave
Oh Father no
Please don't keep me from dreaming
Oh can't someone hear

We see the light of those who find a world has passed them by
Too late to save a dream that's growing cold
We realize that fate must hide its face from those who try
To see the distant signs of unforetold

Oh oh oh oh, take hold, oh....

From a haze came a rage of thunder
Distant signs of darkness on the way
Fading cries scream of pain and hunger
But in the night the light will guide your way

So take hold of the flame (take hold)
Don't you see life's a game (take hold)
So take hold of the flame (take hold)
You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain

(Ride) to a place beyond our time
(Reach) for the edges of your mind, and you are there
(See) that the light will find its way
(Back) to a place where it will stay, make it stay

Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you
With the air of freedom the flame grows bright
We are the strong, the youth united
We are one, we are children of the light

So take hold of the flame (take hold)
Don't you see life's a game (take hold)
So take hold of the flame (take hold)
You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain (take hold)

(Take hold
Take hold
Take hold
Take hold)

In the dead of night
She'll come and take you away
Searing beams of light and thunder
Over blackened plains
She will find her way

Flying high through the night
She will hide your fate
As she takes your soul from under
And the blinding light of the castle fades

There is no escape
It's the ending of your precious life

Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
The Queen of the Reich
Yeah she's coming for you

You're fading away
Your life cast astray
A victim the beast shall obtain

The light will not shine
For you'll die tonight at her shrine
And black is the last thing you'll see

Over and over
Dreams of dying fill your head
It's the sign of the cross
That you'll find ahead

No one will answer
The light is fading away
Captive souls are screaming out in pain

There is no escape
It's the ending of your precious life

Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the Queen of the Reich
You're fading away, No, No, No
The Queen of the Reich
You're slipping away, yeah
The Queen of the Reich

(No Lyrics - Instrumental)

For a price I'd do about anything
Except pull the trigger
For that I'd need a pretty good cause
Then I heard of Dr. X
The man with the cure
Just watch the television
Yeah, you'll see there's something going on

Got no love for politicians
Or that crazy scene in D.C.
It's just a power mad town
But the time is ripe for changes
There's a growing feeling
That taking a chance on a new kind of vision is due

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I'm tired of all this bullshit
They keep selling me on T.V.
About the communist plan
And all the shady preachers
Begging for my cash
Swiss bank accounts while giving their
Secretaries the slam

They're all in Penthouse now
Or Playboy magazine, million dollar stories to tell
I guess Warhol wasn't wrong
Fame fifteen minutes long
Everyone's using everybody, making the sale

I used to think
That only America's way, way was right
But now the holy dollar rules everybody's lives
Gotta make a million doesn't matter who dies

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

I used to trust the media
To tell me the truth, tell us the truth
But now I've seen the payoffs
Everywhere I look
Who do you trust when everyone's a crook?

Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Revolution calling you
[There's a] Revolution calling
Revolution calling
Gotta make a change
Gotta push, gotta push it on through

She always brings me what I need
Without I beg and sweat and bleed
When we're alone at night
Waiting for the call
She feeds my skin

Sixteen and on the run from home
Found a job in Times Square
Working Live S&M shows
Twenty-five bucks [a fuck]
And John's a happy man
She wipes the filth away
And it's back on the streets again

Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see

Father William saved her from the streets
She drank the lifeblood from the saviour's feet
She's Sister Mary now, eyes as cold as ice
He takes her once a week
On the alter like a sacrifice

Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see

Religion and sex are powerplays
Manipulate the people for the money they pay
Selling skin, selling God
The numbers look the same on their credit cards
Politicians say no to drugs
While we pay for wars in South America

[Saudi Arabia, on tour]

Fighting fire with empty words
While the banks get fat
And the poor stay poor
And the rich get rich
And the cops get paid
To look away
As the one percent rules America

Spreading the disease
Everybody needs
But no one wants to see
The way society
Keeps spreading the disease

(Anybody home? Mary?)

Even in death
You still look sad
Don't leave me
Don't leave me...here
I want what you feel, believe me
Turn the current on

[No lyrics]

In the wooden chair
Beside my window
I wear a face born in the falling rain
I talk to shadows from a lonely candle
Recite the phrases from the wall
I can't explain this Holy pain

Six days ago my life had taken a tumble
The orders came from high above they say
A need to use me once again they've got my number
Further the cause boy yes you know the game

I'll wait here for days longer
Till the sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
She brings the only friend
That helps me find my way

I search the past back to a time
When I was younger
A target for the new society
Picked to displace the leaders
Countering objectives
Of this new underground reality

Waiting for days longer
'til sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady that can ease my sorrow
My love for her
Will help me find my way

My mission saved the world
And I stood proud
My mission changed the world
It turned my life around

I look around my room is filled with candles
Each one a story but they end the same
I'll hide away in here the law will never find me
The walls will tell the story of my pain

Waiting for days longer
Till sister comes to wash my sins away
She is the lady who can ease my sorrow
She sets the pace for my delivery of pain

They'll say my mission saved the world
And I stood proud
My mission changed the world
The underground will rise and
Save this world we'll all stand proud
Our mission changed the world, we'll change the world
We'll all stand proud

[(Dr. X:) "Kill her! That's all you have to do."
(Nikki:) "Kill Mary?"
(Dr. X:) "She's a risk, and get the priest as well."]

10 P.M., I feel the rain coming down
My face feels the wet, my mind the storm
Flashing lights as people race to find shelter from the pour
Moving silent, through the streets, they're mine, they're mine...

Midnite, she sings praises in the Hall
To saintly faces hallowed be their names she can't recall
Sister Mary, virgin Mary, silent with her sin
[(Mary:) "What are you doing out in the rain?"]
She feels me, I can taste her breath when she speaks
[(Mary:) "I've been waiting for you. Come in."]

[Nikki:]
Mary, Mary just a whore for the underground
(They made you pay in guilt for your salvation)
Thought you had them fooled? Now they've sent me for you
You know too much for your own good

Don't offer me faith, I've got all I need here
(My faith is growing, growing tight against the seam)
What we need is trust, to keep us both alive
Help us make it through the night

[Mary:]
I've no more want of any faith
Binds my arm and feed my mind
The only peace I've ever known
I'll close my eyes and you shoot...

[Nikki:]
No Mary, listen, you've got to pull your strength
(From my lips I pray I feed you well)
Your precious cross is gone, it made me wait so long
For what you gave to everyone

The priest is cold and dead on his knees he fed
(From my barrel of death, he turned)
The Holy water red as he died he said thank you
I just watched him bleed

[Mary:]
I feel the flow, the blessed stain
Sweating hands like fire, and flames
Burn my thighs, spread in sacrificial rite
The hallowed altar burns my flesh once more tonight

[Nikki:]
Mary, my lady of pain, always alone
Blind you search for the truth
I see myself in you, parallel lives
Winding at light-speed through time

No time to rest yet, we've got to stop his game
Before madness has the final laugh
Too much bloodshed, we're being used and fed
Like rats in experiments

No final outcome here, only pain and fear
It's followed us both all our lives
There's one thing left to see, will it be him or me?
There's one more candle left to light

[Mary:]
Don't turn your back on my disgrace
The blood of Christ can't heal my wounds... so deep
The sins of man are all I taste
Can't spit the memory from my mind, I can't cry anymore...

[Nikki:]
Mary, my lady of pain, always alone
Blind you search for the truth
I see myself in you, parallel lives
Winding at light-speed through time, you're mine...

I awoke on impact
under surveillance from the camera eye,
searching high and low

the criminal mind found at the scene of the crime,
handcuffed and blind, I didn't do it.

She said she loved me,
I guess I never knew
but do we ever, ever really know?
she said she'd meet me on the other side,
but I knew right then, I'd never find her.

I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love.
it's never worth the pain you feel

no more nightmares, I've seen them all
from the day I was born, they've haunted my every move
every open hand's there to push and shove
no time for love. it doesn't matter.

she made a difference,
I guess she had a way,
of making every night seem bright as day.
now I walk in shadows, never see the light,
she must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye

I don't believe in love.
I need to forget her face, I see it still
I don't believe in love
it's never worth the pain that you feel.

no chance for contact,
there's no raison d'etre
my only hope is one day I'll forget,
the pain of knowing what can never be
with or without love it's all the same to me.

I don't believe in love.
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love.
I'll just pretend she never was real.
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love.
it's never worth the pain that you feel

All alone now, except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Everytime I try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you

Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me, looking back at me...

And I raise my head and stare into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what lies behind the stare

Is this all that's left of my life before me
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me

And I raise my head and stare into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what lies behind the stare (lies behind my stare)

How many times must I live this tragedy?
How many more lies will they tell me?
All I want is the same as everyone
Why am I here, and for how long?

And I raise my head and stare into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away from the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what lies behind the stare

I remember now!

Beating with life you promised like, security,happiness.
Unfortunate son cornered, cowering in the pit of circling panes of glass that
surround and reveal the ever present "it."

"It" is my move, my every look,
interpreting gestures,
informing others
what's undercover and lurking beneath my mask
of this year's featured model.
Is this too much?
Close your eyes.
Care to look inside? I AM I!

What may appear
might easily be explained,
but given the situation
of info saturation,
what you feel can never go away.

Steering perception? I AM I!
Inviting contradiction? I AM I!
It's my insistence
you keep your distance
from the glare behind my stare.
So this is the way
the game is played.
You can leave now,..
but I think you'll stay. I AM I!

Waiting for the feeling to subside.
Paranoid, I melt into myself.
They say I'm to reach inside and find
the broken part of my machinery.
Psychoanalyze the chapters
on the path to my darkest day.
Searching for the answers,
all I see is Damage through the haze.
Picking up the pieces of my life
with no direction for re-assembly.
The one that lays beside me
is sharing scars of my broken yesterdays.
Will tomorrow find me hypnotized? Crying?
Mother Mary in control,
domineering stranglehold
sowing destructive seeds
for the scavengers to feed.
Driving the nail into my head,
memory flows like a river.
With the one that lays beside me
I'm healing scars from my childhood memories.
Tomorrow finally found me.
I'm hypnotized. I'm trying...
to understand the chapters
of the path from my darkest day.
Searching for the answers
but there's Damage

Next message saved, Saturday at 9:24 p.m.
Sorry, I'm just..... it's starting to hit me like a ummmm, ummmm... a 2 ton heavy thing.

Last night the word came down
Ten dead in Chinatown
Innocent, their only crime was being in the wrong place at the wrong time
Too bad, people say
What's wrong with the kids today?
I tell you right now they've got nothing to lose. They're building EMPIRE!

Johnny used to work after school
At the cinema show
Gotta hustle if he wants an education, he's got a long way to go
Now he's out on the street all day
selling Crack to the people who pay
Got an AK-47 for his best friend, business the American way.

Eastside meets Westside downtown
No time, the walls fall down

Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it calling?

Black man trapped again
Holds his chains in his hand
Brother killing brother for the profit of another, game point, nobody wins
Decline, right on time
What happened to the dream sublime?
Tear it all down we'll put it up again. Another EMPIRE?

Eastside meets Westside downtown
No time, (no time) the walls fall down

Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it calling? EMPIRE!
Can't someone here stop it... ?

In the fiscal year 1986 to 87. Local state and federal governments
Spent up to a combined total of 60.6 million dollars on law enforcement.
Federal law enforcement expenditures ranked last in absolute dollars,
And accounted for only 6% of all federal spending.

By way of comparison, the federal government spent 24 million more on space exploration,
And 43 times more on national defense and international relations than on law enforcement.

Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it calling? EMPIRE!
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it calling? EMPIRE!
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can't you hear it calling? EMPIRE!
Can't you feel it coming? EMPIRE!
Can someone hear us coming? EMPIRE!

Hush now, don't you cry,
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye.
You're lying safe in bed,
It was all a bad dream spinning in your head.

Your mind tricked you to feel the pain,
Of someone close to you leaving the game (of life).
So here it is, another chance, wide awake you face the day.
The dream is over, or has it just begun....?

There's a place I like to hide,
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize, and you were scared.
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears
Retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind.

Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see this magic new dimension
I........will be watching over you
I........am gonna help to see you through
I........will protect you in the night
I........am smiling next to you
In silent lucidity

Visualise your dream,
Record it in the present tense,
Put it into a permanent form,
If you persist in all efforts,
You can achieve dream control...
...dream control...
...dream control...

::whispered:: (help me)

If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see.
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down; a new world will begin.
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly.

A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize your dream's alive
You can be the guide, but...
I........will be watching over you
I........am gonna help to see you through
I........will protect you in the night
I........am smiling next to you

Don't slam the door on your way out
Don't leave without saying goodbye
Another long distance night alone
You leave me wanting, always leave me wanting more

Last word today, coming home to stay?
Wouldn't that be nice, for awhile?

But now my take-out food is growing cold
And the candle's burned a hole in the floor and I'm
Still waiting for the ring of the phone

I'm all alone
And it's another rainy night without you
Guess I'll leave the light on for you
It's just another rainy night without you

Listen, there's a foghorn blowing from the coast tonight
Remember makin' love in the rain?
Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound
Raindrops taste like tears without the pain

I'm not much without you, can't leave if I wanted to
Maybe that's why you stay around

But tonight I'll sit here tending the fire
And pace the floor one hundred times in an hour, and
Check the voice-mail for a message you've called
(-You have no new messages in your mailbox-)

I'm all alone
And it's another rainy night without you
Waiting by the phone alone
And it's another rainy night without you
Guess I'll leave the light on for you...

I know I've said it before
Hate the sound of the closing door
And your footsteps walking away...

But now my takeout food is growing cold
And the candle's burned a hole in the floor, and I'm
Still waiting for the ring of the phone

I'm all alone
And it's another rainy night without you
Waiting by the phone alone
And it's another rainy night without you
Guess I'll leave the light on for you
It's just another rainy night
It's just another rainy night
It's just another rainy night without you

Every time I leave
you say you won't be there.

And you're always there.

Every time I cry your name at night,
you pull close and say it's alright.

I look in your eyes, just like the rain.
Washing me, rain wash over me.

Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat
echo in my head like a scream.
What you do to me!

Waited so long I can't wait another day without you.
Jet City Woman.
Its a long way, home to my
Jet City Woman.
I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind.

Whenever I'm alone I'm thinking,
there's a part missing from my life.
Wonder where I'd be without your love
holding me together now I'm
watching the time tick, tick away.
Face grows longer every day.
Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen
but without you I can't breathe.

You're the air to me!

Waited so long, I'm all alone thinking about you.
Jet City Woman.
Got to find my way home to her.
Jet City Woman.
I see her face everywhere I look!
Jet City Woman.
Just a thousand milles and I'll be there
Jet City Woman, to make the clouds go away.
Time for some blue sky!

Waited so long now the plane's delayed
an hour, reminds me of all our days apart.
Hold on, just a little longer.
Jet City Woman.
Wonder where I'd be, you're the air to me.
Jet City Woman.
Eyes like the rain, rain down on me
Jet City, Woman.
No more nights alone
I'm almost home now.
Jet City Woman.
Close my eyes, I'm there in my Jet City.

Liquid Sky

I ain't no Romeo. I'm just the man for you.
Holding out as secrets travel, they kind of get to you.

Everybody says that it could've been something.
Never was a smart kid, never knew a good thing.

Always hearing voices swim ... in your liquid sky.

Liquid Sky ... Always hearing voices, like no more choices
in disguise.

I ain't no sacred idol or a saint pretending.
I'll build you up. I'll tear you down. Turn you wrong side
in.

What am I afraid of? Everyone's listening.
Standing on my soapbox, lost the beginning.

Always hearing voices ... swim ... in your liquid sky.

Liquid Sky ... I'm always hearing voices, like no more
choices, like a lie.
It's just, it's just liquid sky.

I'm always hearing voices like electric shock waves in
disguise.

I don't know what this means. I'll leave it for your
interpretation. It's just me at the edge ...

Everybody says that it could have been something.
Never was a smart kid, never knew a good thing.

Always hearing voices ... swim in your liquid sky.

Liquid Sky ... I'm always hearing voices, like no more
choices, like a lie.

It's just, it's just liquid sky. I'm always hearing voices
like electric shock waves in disguise.

Always hearing voices swim ...

Sacred Ground

Iced over, close your eyes. Whisper the flame, it takes us
higher.
Seems our world is closing around. When I'm inside you,
you bring me to sacred ground.
When I'm inside you, you bring me to sacred ground.

Now you're the one that I want, you know it's true.
Let go of everything, open up to me.
I'm right beside you, I'll be your watchful eye.

I send waves of devotion over you. You take it all in and
give it back, give it back again.

You bring me to sacred ground, when I'm inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.

Yes we'll love till there's nothing left to give...
matching every movement, swimming in an ocean of sweat, and
scent of you. It drives me to ...

You bring me to sacred ground, when I'm inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.

I know I can change your mind. Give it to me the same way.
Giving it all up for love, I know that you feel the same
way.

I'd give it all up for you, I swear I would.

Now I'm falling, falling inside ...

You bring me to sacred ground, when I'm inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.

I'm inside you.

You bring me to sacred ground, when I'm inside you.
You bring me to sacred ground.

Falling Down

Today is just the same as any other day to me.
Walking wall to wall to pass the time, I picture what it's
like on the other side.
Because I'm here on the inside of blue, without you.

Day in day out on and on ... I'm missing you.

Nothing seems to work as well, my face in the mirror looks
like hell. I think I need to see a doctor.
I watch the slow hand move line by line. I can't even
think of the words that rhyme.

Day in day out on and on ... I'm missing you.

Some days it feels, just like falling down.
Some days it's easy, just like falling down.

Some days it's real, just like falling down.
Some days it's easy, just like falling down.

Day in day out on and on ... I'm missing you.

Hanging by a thread, problems in my head,
don't know what I said, living to be dead on the run.
Corporation greed, television need,
overdose and bleed, pornograph obscene, I'm a liar.

There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track.
They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back.

I'm going down...
to a place where I can see all there is to see in me.

Bullets in the gun, gonna have some fun,
think I'll take a ride to the other side, till I'm done.
Hole is in the vein,
feel it numb the brain, take away the pain,
never be the same till I die.

There's no brakes on me, as I come around the track.
There's no gauge to read,
peg the needle as I hit the black.

I'm going down...
to a place where I can see all there is to see in me.

Population freeze,
modern day disease,
brings us to our knees, see them stand in line for a cure.
Profit in the wind,
pushing back the time that we wait in line,
pushing back the time, it's a sin.

There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track.
They'll be waiting for me, but I'm never coming back.

I'm going down....

Breakdown

When the whirlwind of noise surrounds and get intense,
and when words can't hide their anger or intent.

I feel it in my bones and in my head, can't make sense of
what is said.

Ready for the take down, headed for a breakdown.

Fear has me backed against these walls that I follow and
pace.

Time moves in and out of phase of everything that I face.

I feel it in my bones they rattle and shake, can't find a
trace of what it takes to stop this take down.

Can't stop this breakdown!

Welcome to my scene. A place that's in-between where
squares fit the round.
Some affectionately call it ... my breakdown....

When I feel the pressure mounting and my hands begin to
clutch,
I reach my limit of pain and I've had enough.

It feels good to pound on tables and chairs and feel the
frenzy start to wear.

Breakdown this take down, gotta stop this breakdown.

Welcome to my scene. A place that's in-between where
squares fit the round.

It'll never be, never be more than this. Never.

Right Side Of My Mind

Hey, are you okay? Better luck on another day. This path
some weren't meant to follow.

You're curious I can see, always looking behind the trees.
Keeping one eye on tomorrow.

Re-engineer your head, is really what the door mouse said.
Push the lies away.

If you take time and look for clues ...scrape the shit off
your shoes, you'll feel the real today.

I'd love to take you to see what I see there, on the right
side of my mind.
On the right side, on the right side ... of my mind.

Hey, one more thing, these things are hard to explain. For
some, it seems strange to swallow.

The frontier of our minds is the last place we find, but
maybe the first place we should go.

I'd love to take you to see what I see there... on the
right side of my mind.
