Ghost

Have you gotten very close to seeing, God?
Have you been in silence,
O wounded heart?
Have you figured your way out of this cage?
Have you channeled too much doubt in your brain?
I've been seeing all these things
O I am haunted by this dream

The one with the ghost in the window
I think she looks like me she seems real tired
The light in the distance is asking me to go beyond
I need some assistance
A greater love
A greater peace
I need some resistance help me

Wrap me up in context
Im not that strange
Not that hard
Simply taking this out of your range
Playin Ani's card
Ive been seeing all these things
"O think Im missing everything,"

Says the ghost in the window
I think she looks like me she seems real tired
Says light in the distance asking me to go beyond
I think I need some assistance
A greater love
A greater peace
I need some resistance

Will someone come and fix me
patch me up and make me wise
Make a badder version of me
Help me read between their lies
O Mother Earth craddle me
Patch me up
Make me whole
Make a badder version
And help the good things grow

For the ghost in the window
The one that looks like me that seems real tired
For the light in the distance asking me to go beyond
I think I need some assistance
A greater love
A greater peace
I need some resistance help me

If theres a in your window
The one that looks like you that seems real tired
And the light in the distance asking you to go beyond
I think you need some assistance
A greater love
A greater peace
I need some resistance help please

The Fire

I came to see the fire
Cause I felt my love give in
I came to see if maybe
This was in my skin
All the world is changing
We look to the light
We look to the sky
And all the world is shifting
We look to the light
We look to the sky

I came to see the light show
Cause I felt my head get dim
I came to see if maybe
This was in my plan
All the world is changing
We look to the light
We look to the sky
And all the world is shifting
We look to the light
We look to the sky

And if you need me I’ll be riding out this storm
And if you need me I’ll be ready when you’re not
And if you need me I’ll be here inside your head
And if you need me you’ll see you are better off
Better off undead…

I came to drink the water
Cause I felt my love get dry
I came to see if maybe
I could write the sky
All the world is changing
We look to the light
We look to the sky
And all the world is shifting
We look to the light
We look to the sky

And if you need me I’ll be riding out this storm
And if you need me I’ll be ready when you’re not
And if you need me I’ll be here inside your head
And if you need me you’ll see you are better off
Better off undead…

I came to see the fire
Cause I felt my love give in
I came to see if maybe
This was in my skin

And if you need me I’ll be riding out this storm
And if you need me I’ll be ready when you’re not
And if you need me I’ll be here inside your head
And if you need me you’ll see you are better off
Better off undead…

Knowing Grey

A ticking clock makes him nervous
A bomb could drop by his side
I think his thoughts are contagious
In my mind
And you can chalk it up to all of his anger
Chalk it up to all of his pride
But sooner or later its over
In his eyes

Every time he runs away I know that there will be hell to pay
Oh I wish he may say what he’s gotta say
Journey down and journey in
this vein
this heart
this mess in him
Oh I wish he may
I wish he might be brave
I think we’re about to know Grey

So one more day in vain and in yearning
One more night at peace
One love
He thinks that he’s not deserving
Of what is up above
And you can chalk it up to all of his anger
Chalk it up to all of his pride
But sooner or later its over
In his eyes

Every time he runs away I know that there will be hell to pay
Oh I wish he may say what he’s gotta say
Journey down and journey in
this vein
this heart
this mess in him
Oh I wish he may
I wish he might be brave

He is picking up his clothes
He is walking out the door
He is leaving for the very last night
No, I don’t think he’ll miss your friends
I don’t think he’ll miss your plans
I am thinking that he’s gonna be fine

So gather all your toys
And all your foolish ploys
And say you’re sorry one last time
Cause he is done giving in
He is done giving up
He is done falling for your crime

Every time he runs away I know that there will be hell to pay
Oh I wish he may say what he’s gotta say
Journey down and journey in
this vein
this heart
this mess in him
Oh I wish he may
I wish he might be brave
I think we’re about to know Grey

A ticking clock makes him nervous

In Bloom

Maybe I’ve been caught up in my dreams
Thinking I could be the one to make a scene
And if I had another conscious life
My love would not be over priced
My heart would
Jump start...
Ready...
And begin...

One more step
One more before I break
Everything we thought that I could never make
And if I had another conscious life
This love would not be over priced
My heart would
Jump start...
Ready...
And begin...

I know the downward slope that ensues
I know how hard its been,
And I move onward
My head starts to bloom
By tomorrow night I swear I’ll do

May this be the day we all stand
Say, We can not take another violent man!
And if we had another conscious life
Our earth would not be over priced
Our hearts would
Jump start
Ready
And begin

I know the downward slope that ensues
I know how hard its been,
And I move onward
My head starts to bloom
By tomorrow night I swear I’ll do

One more step
One more before we break
Everything we thought that we could never make
And if we had another conscious life
Our earth would not be over priced
Our hearts would
Jump start
Ready
And begin

I know the downward slope that ensues
I know how hard its been,
And I move onward
My head starts to bloom
By tomorrow night I swear I'll
Move onward!
Move onward my head starts to bloom
By tomorrow night I swear I’ll do
Oh, by tomorrow night I swear I’ll do

Lisa

This is what it is like to be falling slowly
This is what it is like not to heal
This is what it is like to be standing on the edge of nothing real

I am getting scared of what this woman means for me
I think I lost my friend underneath the sea of
Scripts and pains and spider veins
Wouldn't it be nice if she could walk away from everything that's tied...

Oh!
This is what it is like to watch you falling slowly
This is what it is like not to heal
This is what it is like to be standing on the edge of what is real

And who knows who to blame for this
The damage has been done
Ive lost my faith in you
Im scared you'll lose you son
You say you've changed the course for me and made a better life
But I can see too clearly that your feeding me lies

Oh!
This is what it is like to watch you falling slowly
This is what it is like not to heal
This is what it is like to be standing on the edge of what is real

And I know why she goes here
I think I see this clearer
I know why she goes here
And I pray its not the way

This is what it is like to be falling slowly
This is what it is like not to heal
This is what it is like to be standing on the edge of nothing real

My Bluff

I have come to a landing
I have seen a million stars
Come away and swallow my heart

In a car on 89
Thought I heard the Old Man cry
"Throw 'em down!
I know you're betting lies."
"Throw 'em down!
Your hand is made of lies."

He called my bluff
Then said I would
Give in to you and your freedom
So lost 'n loaded
Feeling high
Can I play it right this time?

So...
Are you in need of laughter?
Are you in need of pain?
Come away and answer to my reign
Come away and let me pour my rain

He called my bluff
Then said I would
Give in to you and your freedom
So lost 'n loaded
Feeling high
Can I play it right this time?

He said,
"Everybody needs to dance before they can fly.
So think about it when you wake
Play the Queen, not the Ace,
And change!"

He called my bluff
Then said I would
Give in to you and your freedom
He called my bluff
Then said I would
Give in to you and your freedom
So lost 'n loaded
Feeling high
Can I play it right this time?

So take me home
To where I belong
Where the free have ground
Oh Love!
You can't get it back
So you have an attack
And you see me fold!

He called my bluff
Then said I would
Give in to you and your freedom
So lost 'n loaded
Feeling high
Can I play it right this time?

Pauline Calling

Past the faces of the days when we once made
The story of our father’s rages blow away
And if I had a letter now to raise
I know one thing
Its gonna be OK

Where will they go, Pauline?
When they see me
I think I’ll die
When will they know, Pauline
That its all in me
High

Oh, have mercy
He never did notice me
When the stormed go out
There will be knights then found
Blaming their will to see

Past the faces of the days when we once made
The story of our father’s rages blow up, blow us away
And if I had a letter now to raise
I know one thing
Its gonna be OK

Where will they go, Pauline?

I think I’ll die
When will they know, Pauline
That its all in me
High

Oh, have mercy
He never did notice me
When the stormed go out
There will be knights then found
Blaming their will to see

When I find this
When the lights go down
When I move this
Boy, you’ll like the sound
Oh
When the stormed go out
There will be knights then found
Blaming their will to…

Here We Go

Here we go again
Another faded plan
Here we go again
Another slight
My heart can beat within
About a hundred men
Here we go again
Another fight

I can hear the call of your ghost
I can hear you play me on the radio
Will you finally come clean
I have heard you banging on my door
I have heard you screamin for more
Will you finally
Finally come in…

Here we go again
Another messed up man
Here we go again
Another slight
My heart can beat within
About a billion trillion men
Here we go again
Another fight

I can hear the call of your ghost
I can hear you play me on the radio
Will you finally come clean
I have heard you banging on my door
I have heard you screamin for more
Will you finally
Finally come in
And let it begin…

Here we go
Here we go
Here we go

Override

Once in a while I could see it
Taking control of my size
And once in a while I would grant it
The chance to taste desire

And when I saw my reflection
I could not believe that I would
Travel so quickly with the fighting
I never really understood
Why its so easy to stay

And in the end theres appeasing
And in the end there’s decay
Fragments of all of these sufferings
And the turning aways
And sometimes my shadow awakens
And leads me outside to play
And sometimes this heart stops buring
And she runs away

So
Take it off
Turn it down
Override
Say that this one thing can no longer hide
Take it off
Turn it down
Override
Say that he’s the one you must leave behind

Not with my pride

And if this night is in question
I’d wonder which day began it
And if this moment was ending
I’d find a way to burn it
And sometimes my shadow awakens
So I’ll lead her outside to sing
And sometimes this heart starts burning
As he turns away

So
Take it off
Turn it down
Override
Say that this one thing can no longer hide
Take it off
Turn it down
Override
Say that he’s the one you must leave behind

While there’s time.

In The Middle

Mirror, Mirror on the wall please help me.
I think Ive gone a tad too far.
I think Im hoping that he says he needs me.
i think Im thinkin a bit too hard.

Mirror, Mirror could you please explain me.
Its just my face I can't recall.
its just my skin thats been a bleedin.
i think Im ready to fall.

And even though I know Im falling all alone,
I will find my soul through the middle, through the heart of cold

Mirror, Mirror would you please come claim me.
I think my time's reliant now.
I think my darkness has saved me.
And i have come to lay it down.

And even though I know Ive fallen all alone,
I have found my soul in the middle, in the heart of cold.

heart of cold
heart of cold

Don't Forget

Gathered my sisters in my canyon.
Took another ride to the sun
I said, "I still believe in the miracle between..."
And then they sang,
"Better move on before its too late.
Better pick your pieces up and don't delay.
And live everyday in sudden ways and don't forget yourself babe. Its all Okay."

Came to my brothers in the smokehouse.
Told them all that I saw.
They said "gather round now and lay your hair down."
And they sang,
"Better move on before its too late.
Pick your pieces up and don't delay.
And live everyday in sudden ways and don't forget yourself babe."

Oh no no...
"Keep it down girl" you said before
"Keep it down now you'll hit the floor."
"Keep it down girl" you said before
Don't be late girl you know the score.

Standing naked here before you.
Cloaked in all that we are,
and if you saw your reflection caught under my skin would you want more?
No.
I better move on before its too late.
I better pick my pieces up and dont delay.
And live everyday in sudden ways and don't forget myself.
Oh It's all Okay.
Its Okay.
One more day.
Its Okay.
One more day...
