A thousand times I’ve seen you standing Gravity like a lunar landing Make me want to run till I find you I shut the world away from here Drift to you, you’re all I hear Everything we know fades to black
Half the time the world is ending Truth is I am done pretending
I never thought that I had anymore to give Pushing me so far Here I am without you Drink to all that we have lost Mistakes we have made Everything will change But love remains the same
Find the place where we escape Take you with me for a space The city buzz, sounds just like a fridge I walk the streets through seven bars I had to find just where you are The faces seems to blur, they’re all the same
Half the time the world is ending Truth is I am done pretending
I never thought that I had anymore to give Pushing me so far Here I am without you Drink to all that we have lost Mistakes we have made Everything will change But love remains the same
So much more to say So much to be done Don’t you trick me out We shall overcome So all have stayed in place We should have had the sun Could have been inside Instead we’re over here
Half the time the world is ending Truth is I am done pretending Too much time, too long defending You and I are done pretending
I never thought that I had anymore to give Pushing me so far Here I am without you Drink to all that we have lost Mistakes we have made Everything will change Everything will change
I, oh I, I wish this could last forever I, oh I, I As if we could last forever
Compassion is broken now My will is eroded now Desire is broken now And it makes me feel ugly
I'm on my knees and burning My pi$$ and moans are fueling That set my head on fire So smell my soul that's burning
I'm broken Looking up to see the enemy And I have swallowed the poison you're feeding me But I survive on the poison you're feeding me And it's leaving me Guilt fed Hatred fed Weakness fed It makes me feel ugly
On my knees and burning My piss and moans are fueling That set my head on fire I'm dead inside
$h!t adds up (repeat 4x) At the bottom
If I let you, you would make me destroy myself In order to survive you I must first survive myself I can sink no further And I cannot forgive you
There's no choice but to confront you To engage you To erase you I've gone to great lengths to expand my threshold of pain I will use my mistakes against you There's no other choice Shameless now Nameless now Nothing now No one now But my soul must be iron Cause my fear is naked I'm naked and fearless And my fear is naked
Dead inside (repeat 4x)
Nameless now Shameless now Nothing now No one now $h!t adds up (repeat 4x) As you see my naked now Fearless now Naked now Fearless now $h!t adds up (repeat 3x) It leaves me Dead inside (repeat 4x)
Hatred keeps me alive Loneliness keeps me alive Weakness keeps me alive Guilt keeps me alive At the bottom
Me: 32 BS DDay: 9/14/08 Slowly coming to the realization that I am one of those who can't get past it.
It seems like every day’s the same and I’m left to discover on my own It seems like everything is gray and there’s no color to behold They say it’s over and I’m fine again, yeah Try to stay sober feels like I’m dying here
And I am aware now of how everything’s gonna be fine one day Too late, I’m in hell I am prepared now, seems everyone’s gonna be fine One day too late, just as well
I feel the dream in me expire and there’s no one left to blame it on I hear you label me a liar ‘cause I can’t seem to get this through You say it’s over, I can sigh again, yeah Why try to stay sober when I’m dying here
And I am aware now of how everything’s gonna be fine one day Too late, I’m in hell I am prepared now, seems everyone’s gonna be fine One day too late; just as well
And I’m not scared now. I must assure you, you’re never gonna get away And I’m not scared now. And I’m not scared now. No…
I am aware now of how everything’s gonna be fine one day Too late, I’m in hell I am prepared now seems everyone’s gonna be fine One day too late, just as well I am prepared now, seems everything’s gonna be fine for me For me; for myself. For me, for me, for myself For me, for me, for myself

Ooh, oh, yeah
Sit here on the stairs 'Cause I'd rather be alone If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear Sometimes, I get so tense But I can't speed up the time But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider Said woman take it slow Things will be just fine You and I'll just use a little patience Said sugar take the time 'Cause the lights are shining bright You and I've got what it takes to make it We won't fake it, Oh never break it 'Cause I can't take it

In troubled times It's hard to get straight answers Between the lines That border wrong or right The homeland cries It struggles with confusion But this feelin' still remains Like shelter from the rain
We live of faith In the hands of those who guide us And tear the page On the fear we left behind We set the pace For every born survivor Don't turn the other way When I need to hear you say
Allies with our backs against the wall I will answer when you call And take on the odds For what we believe is true Allies in a world of too much choice I only need your voice To tell me you care I'll be anywhere for you, allies
We search our hearts To justify the reason And draw the line To meet somewhere halfway If faith is blind Through darkness it will guide us 'Cause the spirit still remains With the keepers of the flame
Allies with our backs against the wall I will answer when you call And take on the odds For what we believe is true Allies in a world of too much choice I only need your voice To tell me you care I'll be anywhere for you, allies

Are my lips unkissable? Are my eyes unlookable? Is my skin untouchable? Am I unlovable?
Cynical, jaded, faithless, disappointed, disillusioned, used If I could take back all my sweat, my tears, my sex, my joy I would My time, my love, my effort, passion, dedication In case of mistaken identity I gave these things to you If I sound angry, bitter, sad, infatuated, it's the truth Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, just a few Stages of acceptance that it's really over It's just so complicated and I'm stupid for believing in you
You make me feel like my father never loved me You make me feel like the act of love is empty Am I so unlovable? Is my skin untouchable? Do I remind you of a part of you that you don't like?
I had your back, I held you up, I told you you were good enough It was not reciprocated, you kept affection and yourself apart You fed your love to me like crumbs to pigeons in the park Sometimes I think you're satisfied to see me begging like a dog I wasn't armoured, you were king, I gave my everything Because sometimes you showed me just a hint of you and then For just a moment I romanticised the notion I can take away the torment, I can love you like they never did
You make me feel like my father never loved me (you never loved me) You make me feel like the act of love is empty (I felt so empty) Am I so unlovable? Is my skin untouchable? Do I remind you of a part of you that you don't like?
You make me feel like my mother, she abandoned me (you abandoned me) You make me feel like the act of love is empty (I felt so empty) Am I so unlovable? Is my heart unbreakable? Do I remind you of a part of you that you despise?
Are my lips unkissable? Are my eyes unlookable? Is my sex undoable? Am I unlovable? Are my words unlistenable? Are my hands untouchable? Am I undesirable? Am I unlovable?
You make me feel like my father never loved me You make me feel like the act of love is empty Am I so unlovable? Is my skin untouchable? Do I remind you of a part of you that you don't like?

I have been a wayward child, I have acted out, I have questioned sovereignty, and had my share of doubts,
And though sometimes, my prayers feel like their bouncing off the sky, the hand that holds won't let me go, and is the reason why
I will stumble, I will fall down But I will not be moved I will make mistakes, I will face heartache, But I will not be moved
On Christ the solid rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand, I will not be moved
Bitterness has plagued my heart, many times before, My life has been a broken glass, and I have kept the score, of all my shattered dreams, and though it seemed, that I was far too gone, my brokenness helped me to see, it's grace I'm standing on.
I will stumble, I will fall down But I will not be moved I will make mistakes, I will face heartache, But I will not be moved
On Christ the solid rock I stand, All other ground is sinking sand, I will not be moved
And chaos in my life, has been a badge I've worn, and though I have been torn, I will not be moved
I will make mistakes, I will face heartache, But i will not be moved
On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand, I will not be moved
Didn't He Words and Music by Randy Matthews Copyright 1969
And the hammer fell On the wooden nail Through his flesh into the tree As they laughed at him As he cried for them And there he hung The faultless one
Now didn't he live, oh didn't he And didn't he give, oh didn't he But didn't he die for you and me
Spilled his precious blood Sacrifice of love We didn't take his life from him He gave it willingly Fulfill the prophecy What's black is white And this wrong is right
Now didn't he live, oh didn't he And didn't he give, oh didn't he But didn't he die for you and me
Bugler, blow your horn Now the curtain's torn And the battle's done I know I know the victory's come Drummer you drum your drum He broke death's chains The Lamb is slain
Now didn't he live, oh didn't he And didn't he give, oh didn't he But didn't he die for you and me
Now doesn't he live, my brother, doesn't he Now doesn't he give, sweet sister, doesn't he But didn't he die for you and me But didn't he die for you and for me
I was born and raised an orphan in a land that once was free in a land that poured its love out on the moon and I grew up in the shadows of your silos filled with grain but you never helped to fill my empty spoon
and when I was ten you murdered law with courtroom politics and you learned to make a lie sound just like truth but I know you better now and I don't fall for all your tricks and you've lost the one advantage of my youth
you kill a black man at midnight just for talking to your daughter then you make his wife your mistress and you leave her without water and the sheet you wear upon your face is the sheet your children sleep on at every meal you say a prayer you don't believe but still you keep on
and your money says in God we trust but it's against the law to pray in school you say we beat the Russians to the moon and I say you starved your children to do it
you are far across the ocean but the war is not your own and while you're winning theirs you're gonna lose the one at home do you really think the only way to bring about the peace is to sacrifice your children and kill all your enemies
the politicians all make speeches while the news men all take note and they exaggerate the issues as they shove them down our throats is it really up to them whether this country sinks or floats well I wonder who would lead us if none of us would vote
well my phone is tapped and my lips are chapped from whispering through the fence you know every move I make or is that just coincidence well you try to make my way of life a little less like jail if I promise to make tapes and slides and send them through the mail
and your money says in God we trust but it's against the law to pray in school you say we beat the Russians to the moon and I say you starved your children to do it you say all men are equal all men are brothers then why are the rich more equal than others don't ask me for the answer I've only got one that a man leaves his darkness when he follows the Son
I was lost and blind, when a friend of mine, came and took me by the hand. Then He led me to His kingdom, that was in another land. Now my life has changed, it's rearranged, when I think of my past I feel so strange. Wowie, zowie, well He saved my soul, He's the rock that doesn't roll.
He's the rock that doesn't roll, He's the rock that doesn't roll, Well He's good for the body and great for the soul, He's the rock that doesn't roll.
I was all alone like a rolling stone, I was going nowhere fast. I was on the road so far from home, when the future touched my past. Now I feel so blessed, 'cause He gave me a rest. And I finally feel like I passed my test, I want to be like Him, yes that's my goal, like a rock that doesn't roll.
He's the rock that doesn't roll, He's the rock that doesn't roll, Well He's good for the body and great for the soul, He's the rock that doesn't roll.
I was lost and blind when a friend of mine, came and took me by the hand, and He led me to His kingdom that was in another land. Now my mind is blown, my head has grown, a Solid Rock and a rolling stone, Wowie, zowie, well the Cat's got soul, He's the Rock that doesn't roll.
He's the rock that doesn't roll, He's the rock that doesn't roll, Well He's good for the body and great for the soul, He's the rock that doesn't roll.
He's the rock that doesn't, the rock that doesn't, The rock that doesn't, the rock that doesn't, You've got to rock me on the water, You've got to rock me from the grave, You've got to rock me till I'm feeling good, You've got to rock me till, rock me till I'm saved.
He's the rock that doesn't roll, He's the rock that doesn't roll, Well He's good for the body and great for the soul, He's the rock that doesn't roll.
In the night I hear them talk, The coldest story ever told, Somewhere far along this road He lost his soul, To a woman so Heartless How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo Just remember that you talking to me yo You need to watch the way you talking to me yo I mean after all the things that we been through I mean after all the things we got into And yo I know of some things you things that you aint told me Ayo I did some things but that's the old me And now you wanna pay me back You gon' show me So you walk round like you don't know me You got them new friend Well I got homeys But at the end it's still so lonely
In the night I hear them talk, The coldest story ever told, Somewhere far along this road He lost his soul, To a woman so heartless How could you be so heartless?oh.. How could you be so heartless?
How could you be so Dr. Evil You're bringing out a side of Me that I don't know, I decided we wasn't gonna speak so why are up 3 a.m. on the phone, Why does she be so mad at me for, homey I don't know she hot and cold,
I won't stop and mess my groove up cause I already know how this thing goes, You run and tell you're friends that you're leavin' me, They say that they don't see what you see in me, You wait a couple months then you gone' see, You'll never find nobody better than me
In the night I hear them talk, The coldest story ever told, Somewhere far along this road He lost his soul, To a woman so heartless How could you be so heartless? oh.. How could you be so heartless?
Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk Baby lets just knock it off They don't know what we been through They don't know 'bout me and you So I got something new to see And you just gon' keep hatin' me And we just gon' be enemies I know you can't believe I could just leave it wrong And you can't make it right I'm gon' take off tonight Into the night...
In the night, I hear 'em talk, The coldest story ever told. Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul. To a woman so heartless... How could you be so heartless? oh... How could you be so heartless.
Me: 32 BS DDay: 9/14/08 Slowly coming to the realization that I am one of those who can't get past it.
Turn back on the broken heartache Some things are just meant to be I still believe that we got a chance Still believe that we got a chance to be Too much is never enough and Too little is never enough Full speed got me looking out my rear view I can't go back
Chorus: Goin' 100 in a 55 and I don't know why I'm still alive but I Do what I can but I know I can't take anymore I still believe in this rock and roll And I pray the music gonna save my soul But till then I still believe some things are just meant to be
It's messed up but I got this mission Drunk again wont remember anyway She said it's just a game boy Don't be gone don't be gone for long Ten years I've been doing this forever Its all I know baby please don't turn away I know you don't believe in me But I do believe in you
I'm still falling Away from here Away from here I'm still falling The wings are falling off I can't go back I'm in too deep
I still believe Some things are just meant to be
Me: 32 BS DDay: 9/14/08 Slowly coming to the realization that I am one of those who can't get past it.
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder You get your fill to eat But always keep that hunger May you never take one single breath for granted God forbid love ever leave you empty handed I hope you still feel small When you stand by the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance I hope you dance
I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance Never settle for the path of least resistance Living might mean taking chances But they're worth taking Lovin' might be a mistake But it's worth making Don't let some hell bent heart Leave you bitter When you come close to selling out Reconsider Give the heavens above More than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance I hope you dance (Time is a real and constant motion always) I hope you dance (Rolling us along) I hope you dance (Tell me who) I hope you dance (Wants to look back on their youth and wonder) (Where those years have gone)
I hope you still feel small When you stand by the ocean Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
