Collision
My
mission
When the dawn breaks
With
a handshake
Relaxed and feelin' great
Screeching...head on
I'm
needing a head on
All the day's plans
All
the shaking hands
Beepers and suntans
Screeching...head on
I'm
needing a head on
Collision
My
mission
It's over today
The heat
is gone
Time is gone
F for fake
I feel no wrong
Hide no wrong
I
love this place
The lights....
Under this face
So dry....
Only way to change
Give
yourself away
Don't be ashamed
Next in line; close one eye
Just walk
by
In these days
I'm
breathing stone, crying stone
I'll win this race
I'll leave alone, arrive
alone
Love this place, the lights...
Under this face, so dry...
Stripped to the bone
I
did no wrong
Truth is my name
Give yourself away
This is getting old
and
so are you.
Everything you know
and never knew.
Will run through your
fingers
just like sand.
Enjoy it while you
can.
Like a snake between two
stones
it itches in your bones.
Take a deep breath and swallow
your
sorrow
tomorrow.
So raise it up and lets
propose a toast.
To the thing that hurts you most.
It's your last cup of
sorrow.
What can you say?
Finish it today.
It's your last cup of
sorrow.
So think of me
and get on your way.
It won't begin
until you
make it end.
Until you know the how the where and the when.
With a new
face you might surprise yourself.
Like a snake between two
stones
it itches in your bones.
take a deeper breath and swallow
your
sorrow
tomorrow.
So raise it up and lets
propose a toast.
To the thing that hurts you most.
It's your last cup of
sorrow.
what can you say?
Finish it today.
It's your last cup of
sorrow.
So think of me
and get on your way!
You might surprise
yourself
You might surprise yourself
My box is full
And my
mouth is full
And my life is full
And now my memory's full
In how many ways and
words
Can you say nothing
Millions of ways and words
To say
nothing
What'd I say? I'm empty.
I bought the thing
I
taught the thing
And I fought the thing
They said it's normal
But
they're keeping me dumb and hot
You're missing something
Keeping me dumb
and hot
You must be missing something
Keeping me dumb and hot
What'd I say? I'm
empty.
And I'm sending it back to
you
The air is warm
I hear
the wind and the trees
I know I'm there, but I'll never be
The wind is
soft tonight, the tide is low
And I know the way
(I never felt better
now)
Sometimes life, it moves too
slow
Slows to a crawl, and then the poetry is lost
And without speed, hope
becomes certainty
And for once I'm certain
(I never felt better
now)
A garden is it's own perfect
world
Where everything has a place
Every leaf, every stone, every speck of
dirt
But where's my place?
I even tried to get arrested today
But
everyone looked the other way
I count the hours, and I count the days
But
for once I'm certain
Don't want your
help
Don't need your help
Don't want your help
Don't need your
help
Helpless
You found a way to make me
say
Help me please someone
The water's clear
I see
that it's full of dimes
For every wish, I wonder why
Why all I want is
something beautiful
A place to rest
(I never felt better now)
HELP
You tied the knot
A
legend is what you bought
I give you cold water and you
Swear it was
wine
You bought time
If you can fool yourself, then why not them?
Just
keep on passing it mouth to mouth to mouth
I can dress up the dead
man
But I can't bring him back to life
You tied the knot
Peeled
your skin off, leaving a bundle of nerves
I give you a wet noodle, you swear
that it was my tongue
A sharp one
Instead of that same old mouth to mouth
to mouth to mouth
I can dress up the dead
man
But I can't bring him back to life
I want them to know it's
me
It's on my head
I'll point the finger at me
It's on my
head
Give it all to you
Then
I'll be closer
Smiling with the mouth of
the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I'll see
you
I will let you shout no
more
It's on my head
I'll pick you up from the floor
It's on my
head
I'll let you even the score It's on my head
Give it all to you
Then
I'll be closer
Smiling with the mouth of
the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I'll see
you
Give the same to me then
I'll be closer, closer
Give the same to me then I'll be closer,
closer
Smiling with the mouth of
the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
Give the same to me then
I'll be closer
I'm here alone on the
telephone line
I'm right where you want me to be
And I'll wait alone and
never ask why
I'll be where you want me to be
And I know...
I've been
here before and I know your kind
You're right where I want you to be
Now
I'll say what I think
I'll never be what you want me to be
(Just to be who
I am)
What do you want me to be?
You'll be on your
knees
Tell me
Tell me it's not
true
Got that feeling
Luck is
just a little of it
Got that feeling
I can't stop winning
A to Z
Look what you're
missing, as we speak
Your number's rising, take a peak
There's just enough
to go around, get a piece
Your own little piece of hell
Got that feeling
Loving
every minute of it
Got that feeling
I can't stop winning
Have a drink
A pot of
coffee, cannot think
Too many friends here, just an inch
Between striking
out and striking rich, just a risk
One I'll take and take again...
Got that feeling
Gotta
bet a little of it
Got that feeling
I can't stop winning..
And start
living
You can't borrow
tomorrow
You squirt out red and turn
so yellow
And then you made me kill my own
I'm not afraid
(coming,
coming)
But I'm afraid
Blood in your eyes
again
Bravery, the face of man
Blood on your mind again
Chivalry, the
face of man
Blood in your lies again
Enemy, the face of man
Blood in
your eyes, again
Is this the only path of
glory?
If so then I won't go alone
Follow the trail
(running) Follow
the trail
I'm not afraid
But I'm
afraid
Come home
It's been so
long
We're missing you at home
So hang up that phone
Cuz I'm coming
back
home
Come home
It's been so
long
Can't hide no more
So hang up that phone
Cuz I'm coming
back
home
Drive me home
I'm watching you
You shall weep no
more
It's your last breath of air
These walls won't keep them
out
They'll keep you in
But who's going to protect you?
Who?
In every flower bed
In
every marriage bed
I'll be with you
I'm watching you
