Lyrics


1. FIND ME

I don’t presume to know how you feel
What makes you think you’ve got an idea
Of where I’m coming from?
(Why are you doing this to me?)

Peel back the layers
That’s where you’ll find me
(Find me)

Don’t know how much longer
I can put this stage show on for
Peel back the layers
Till there’s nothing left inside

Does it make you feel better
When you put me down
Did you ever think every time you do it?
You crush another piece of me
(Crush another piece of me)

(Crush another piece of you)
That’s where you’ll find me

Don’t know how much longer
I can put this stage show on for
Peel back the layers
Till there’s nothing left inside

When the phone rings out
And there’s no answer at the door
When you’ve pushed to the point that no one calls
That’s where you’ll find me
(Find me)

(There’s nothing left inside)
That’s where you’ll find me


2. 1000 TEARS

People are not talking about you
Mixed signals are everywhere
Analyze the situation
Don’t read into what isn’t there

Cry a thousand tears but nothing changes
Everything always stays the same
Fly me away, beyond the sky
Remember me as dreamer
With pessimistic eyes

Wake me from this nightmare
Escape the constant pain
Paranoia overtaking
My mind is draining away

Cry a thousand tears but nothing changes
Everything always stays the same
Fly me away, beyond the sky
Remember me as dreamer
With pessimistic eyes

Suffocating, can’t breathe
There’s no way out for me
Sick of lying and pretending to care
Always offer more but never really there

Cry a thousand tears but nothing changes
Everything always stays the same
Fly me away, beyond the sky
Remember me as dreamer
With pessimistic eyes

Cry a thousand tears...


3. SO NEAR

Coming to the crossroad
Feels like I’ve bee here before
Ducking in and out of shadows
Knocking at death’s door

Let me in
Let me in

Today I was so near
Get so far away

This road is going nowhere
Can I see the way home?
Keep everyone at arm’s length
The door is left wide open

Let me in
Let me in

Today I was so near
Get so far away

Today I was so near
Get so far away

Get so far away


4. LET YOU GO

When you take me in your arms
I never want to let you go
Run my hands across your chest
Take you to places you have never been

Set you free
Return to me

Now I know you have to go
I won’t try to change your mind

Wallowing, drowning in my sorrow
Broken into pieces
This is real, I hope you know
My best friend, my lover
Don’t want this to be over

Set you free
Return to me

Now I know you have to go
(Never want tom let you go)
I won’t try to change your mind
Our love is inevitable
(Return to me)
You will always be by my side

You will always be by my side

6. DOWN

This wall is getting higher
Somehow I’ve gotta pull it down
Before it surrounds me
And everybody’s gone

Some days, can’t eat
Can’t sleep, can’t feel
Don’t wanna face the world
Don’t wanna pretend anymore

When I was down
You picked me up
I was affected
Couldn’t give up
When I was down

Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
Before you deny my right
To breathe the air you breathe

Stripped down to nothing
Still have my pride
You will not break me
I must survive

When I was down
You picked me up
I was affected
Couldn’t give up
When I was down

Look into my eyes
Tell me what you see
Before you deny my right
To breathe the air you breathe

When I was down
You picked me up
I was affected
Couldn’t give up
When I was down


7. BLUE JAY

They said I was foolish
The beginning of the end
Life will never be the same
Never know what’s round the bend

But no one realized
How life was going to be
This angel sent from heaven
A precious gift for me

My blue jay, my savior
How thankful I would be
You were brought into my life
Now I can finally see

The bond we have is so strong
Never will it break
My love for you is endless
My heart no longer aches

Your happiness is everything
To me, I hope you know
How proud I am to be the one
To watch you grow

My blue jay, my savior
How thankful I would be
You were brought into my life
Now I can finally see

My blue jay, my savior
How thankful I would be

My blue jay, my savior
How thankful I would be
You were brought into my life
Now I can finally see

My blue jay


8. TAKEN

Suddenly you left my life
I sat beside you holding your hand

Thinking about the things I’ve done
What could I do to make it better?
Praying to God to give you the strength
To open your eyes just one last time

Before your eternal sleep

So hear me now as I say
I love you, my sadness will stay
Taken before your time

Wasn’t enough to fight anymore
Life would never be the same
There were reasons I never knew why
One last time just open your eyes

But you left before I could say goodbye

So hear me now as I say
I love you, my sadness will stay
Taken before your time

Suddenly you left my life

Your suffering is over
Your pan has ceased
Your soul’s at ease
May you rest in peace

So hear me now as I say
I love you, my sadness will stay
Taken before your time
So hear me now as I say
I love you, my sadness will stay


9. HEART AND SOUL

Windows to the soul
Eyes that speak to me
Telling of a lonely journey
Restless spirit longing to be free

Windows to the soul
Distant memory
Take me to another place
There is more for you to see

The sacrifice has been made
Suffering through the pain
Everything has a price
And you bleed
Always be

Heart and soul

Heart and soul

My heart and soul
You are my heart and soul

Nothing good comes easily
Two roads diverged
Neither one could offer any certainty
Familiarity or test the unknown
What lies at the end of the road...


10. SHELTERED

Let it all out
Stop hiding behind the pain
Not the only one who suffers
You don’t have to feel ashamed

Always smiling, never showing
Then world that all was not well
Carry the weight of the world
Upon your shoulders

The years go by so fast
An adult now, no longer looking to blame
Admire you for your courage
For he time that wasted away

Always smiling, never showing
Then world that all was not well

Good times were few and far between
Do you remember anything?
Sheltering the children
From the misery that he might bring

Always smiling, never showing

The early years weren’t so bad
Before the bottle took hold
Destroying everything in it path
Sheltered from the worst of it

Always smiling, never showing
Then world that all was not well


11. HAUNTED

Haunted by the presence
Of never ending silence
Every mindless thought
Brought closer to the surface

Guilty conscience rises
Revealing its true colours
Guilty conscience rises
Revealing its true colours

Haunted
Always reassuring
Anxiety overflowing

Imaginary feelings
Clarify the truth
Haunted

Guilty conscience rises
Revealing its true colours
Guilty conscience rises
Revealing its true colours

Haunted


12. ALL OF YOU

Taken the long road
To find this place
Pass through the doors
To what lies within
Touching, breathe in
Believing

All of you
All of you
Wanting, needing
All of you

Diving into an ocean of sound
Riding the tide of a thousand cries
Falling, breathe in
I’m drowning

All of you
All of you
Wanting, needing
All of you
All of you
Nothing else will do
Can’t you see just
All of you

Touching, breathe in
Feel me, believing
Touching, breathe in
Feel me, believing

Release the anger, all of the pain
Banish the fears, banish all the tears

Watching, hearing
Hearing

All of you
All of you
Wanting, needing
All of you
All of you
Nothing else will do
Can’t you see just
All of you


13. THROWING STONES

Thoughts they linger in my head
Words left unsaid
Fall through blue, into you

The journey started with no end
Step by step yet again
A friendship true, always knew

Throwing stones at the sun
Not this time
Throwing stones at the sun
Look for the signs

Thoughts they echo in my head
Worlds left unsaid
Fall through blue, into you

The journey started with no end
Step by step yet again
A friendship true, always knew

Throwing stones at the sun
Not this time
Throwing stones at the sun
Look for the signs

Another time
Another place
Another time
Another place

Another time
Throwing stones
Another place
At the sun

Another time
Throwing stones
Another place
At the sun

Throwing stones
