Disappearing Friend
searching deep to find you, stories will never end
markings of the chosen, we’re the jade, you’ve been jaded
struggle through the failures, evasive calamity
staring through the shadows, if you’re the marred, we’re the martyr
something’s gotta give, another way
(chorus)
you’re dumb and blind, fell down didn’t get up again
locked down and feeling so lost, locked down, locked out again
disappearing friend, you used to feel alive
I will show you how you’re the jade, we’ve been jaded
something’s gotta give now, evasive calamity
I will scream it out loud, you’re the marred, we’re the martyr
something’s gotta give, another way
(chorus)
you’re dumb and blind, fell down didn’t get up again
locked down and feeling so lost, locked down, locked out.
shout, cover, shout, cover
Awakened
these thoughts again
tangled and weaving, spinning around on their own and
a fear’s at hand
grace is in falling, self righteousness crutch
we’re not alone again
(Chorus)
will you wake will you close your eyes
will you wake will you cry at night
will you wake will you call out loud “you’re only in my head, only in my head”
awakened
you trust again, broken and weary
faith will not stand on its own
and the nails in hands conquered the sin
and destroyed all the night, and bought us back again
(Chorus)
will you wake will you close your eyes
will you wake will you cry at night will you wake will you call out loud
“you’re only in my head, only in my head”
awaken
Shine A Light
Light…
(chorus)
shine a light, you pray for healing, lies disguise
they stand up to me but flee from reality
shine a light, you pray for healing, lies disguise them
they stand up to me but flee from reality now
what will tomorrow bring, these demons all around
what will tomorrow bring when I’m living life
well I’ve been trying, enemies rising
in all those things they’ve blown them all away now
well I’ve lost my sight, when darkness hides
in all those things you’ve burned them all away now
push it way now, shove it away now, flush it away now
Light…
(chorus)
Shine a light, you pray for healing, Lies disguise
they stand up to me but flee from reality
shine a light, you pray for healing, lies disguise them
they stand up to me but flee from reality
nothing, you’re nothing, you’re nothing
Give It Away
debate all the time when this conversation is right, the time is right
your loved ones adore and want you to be with them for
life…forever, well your choice will say
(chorus)
try all the time to explore the reasons, life won’t remain this present season
time is running out for good intentions, I beg you to change your mind and just give it away
intellect foretold its present struggle with your soul
one knocks at the door, this burning building is coming down
coming down, one way out now, please open the door
(chorus)
try all the time to explore the reasons
life won’t remain this present season, time is running out for good intentions
I beg you to change your mind and just give it away
I think you’ll renounce your life and just give it away
just give it away, just give it away
I don’t want it to bring you down, down
I don’t want that, down…just give it away
Freakshow
I keep rolling, starving for the telephone
I can’t wonder why you still hate me
you’re worn out from squawking on that megaphone
this thing is blowing up now, exploding
I can’t be what you need so don’t hate me, I can’t see what you see, sorry kill me
two times rendered far too long to get this gone
I’m praying longing to forgive, release me
punch drunk illusions fostered by the stereo
this whole thing is a lie now unfolding
I can’t be what you need so don’t hate me, I can’t see what you see, sorry kill me
I’ll never drink this disease, guess I’m a freakshow
I’ll never be what you need guess I’m a freakshow
It’s all gone to me, well I’m drowning no doubt about
it It’s all gone to me, well I’m drowning no doubt about it
I can’t be what you need so don’t hate me
I can’t see what you see, sorry kill me
I’ll never drink this disease guess I’m a freakshow
I’ll never be what you need, I’m a freakshow
it’s all gone to me, well I’m drowning no doubt about it
Ted
you are a sick man, you are a spiteful man
you have been paralyzed, for only fools succeed
(chorus)
for forty years Ted what has become of you
those forty years Ted in your dark cellar
for forty years Ted you could not see the end
those forty years Ted you’ve not began
well you must be good boy, your lies and pretense clear
you will not be a slave, your mind’s superior
(chorus)
for forty years Ted what has become of you
those forty years Ted in your dark cellar
for forty years Ted you envied every man
those forty years Ted you never lived
for forty years Ted
in your dark cell
why forty years Ted, a life times forty,
not forty years Ted
a life times forty in a hole
no more no more, why why, no more
