| Possession |
| Listen as the wind blows
from across the great divide voices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time the night is my companion, and solitude my guide would I spend forever here and not be satisfied? and I would be the one to hold you down kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away and after, I'd wipe away the tears just close your eyes dear Through this world I've stumbled
And I would be the one
|
| Wait |
| Under a blackened sky
far beyond the glaring streetlights sleeping on empty dreams the vultures lie in wait You lay down beside me then you were with me every waking hour so close I could feel your breath When all we wanted was the dream to have and to hold that precious little thing like every generation yields the new born hope unjaded by their years Pressed up against the glass
When all we wanted was the dream
You know if I leave you now
When all we wanted was the dream
|
| Plenty |
| I looked into your eyes
they told me plenty I already knew you never felt a thing so soon forgotten all that you do in more than words I tried to tell you the more I tried I failed I would not let myself believe that you might stray and I would stand by you no matter what they'd say, I would have thought I'd be with you until my dying day until my dying day I used to think my life was often empty a lonely space to fill you hurt me more than I ever would have imagined you made my world stand still and in that stillness there was a freedom I never felt before I would not let myself believe that you might stray and I would stand by you no matter what they'd say, I would have thought I'd be with you until my dying day until my dying day |
| Good Enough |
| Hey your glass is empty
it's a hell of a long way home why don't you let me take you it's no good to go alone I never would have opened up but you seemed so real to me after all the bullshit I've heard it's refreshing not to see I don't have to pretend she doesn't expect it from me Don't tell me I haven't been good to you
Hey little girl would you like some candy
So don't tell me why

| Mary |
| Mary walks
down to the water's edge and there she hangs her head to find herself faded a shadow of what she once was She said "How long have I been sleeping
With trembling hands she reaches up
Take her hand
|
| Elsewhere |
| I love the time and in between
the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe I believe there is a distance I have wandered to touch upon the years of reaching out and reaching in holding out holding in I believe this is heaven to no one else but me and I'll defend it as long as I can be left here to linger in silence if I choose to would you try to understand I know this love is passing time passing through like liquid I am drunk in my desire... but I love the way you smile at me I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near... I believe... I believe this is heaven to no one else but me and I'll defend it as long as I can be left here to linger in silence if I choose to would you try to understand Oh the quiet child awaits the day when she can break free the mold that clings like desperation Mother can't you see I've got to live my life the way I feel is right for me might not be right for you but it's right for me... I believe... I believe this is heaven to no one else but me and I'll defend it as long as I can be left here to linger in silence if I choose to would you try to understand it I would like to linger here in silence if I choose to would you understand it would you try to understand... |
| Circle |
| There are two of us talking in circles
and one of us who wants to leave in a world created for only us an empty cage that has no key don't you know we're working with flesh and blood carving out of jealousy Crawling into each other it's smothering
I know too many people unhappy
Oh my brother my sister my mother
What kind of love is this that keeps me
|
| Ice |
| The ice is thin come on dive in
underneath my lucid skin the cold is lost, forgotten Hours pass days pass time stands still
|
| Hold On |
| Hold on
Hold on to yourself for this is gonna hurt like hell Hold on Hold on to yourself you know that only time will tell What is it in me that refuses to believe this isn't easier than the real thing My love you know that you're my best friend you know I'd do anything for you my love let nothing come between us my love for you is strong and true Am I in heaven here or am I... at the crossroads I am standing So now you're sleeping peaceful I lie awake and pray that you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll see another day and we will praise it and love the light that brings a smile across your face Oh god if you're out there won't you hear me I know that we've never talked before oh god the man I love is leaving won't you take him when he comes to your door Am I in heaven here or am I in hell at the crossroads I am standing So now you're sleeping peaceful I lie awake and pray that you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll see another day and we will praise it and love the light that brings a smile across your face... Hold on hold on to yourself for this is gonna hurt like hell |
| Ice Cream |
| Your love is better than ice cream
better than anything else that I've tried and your love is better than ice cream everyone here know how to fight and it's a long way down it's a long way down it's a long way down to the place where we started from Your love is better than chocolate better than anything else that I've tried oh love is better than chocolate everyone here knows how to cry it's a long way down it's a long way down it's a long way down to the place where we started from... |
| Fear |
| Morning smiles
like the face of a newborn child innocent unknowing Winter's end promises of a long lost friend speaks to me of comfort but I fear I have nothing to give I have so much to lose here in this lonely place tangled up in our embrace there's nothing I'd like better than to fall but I fear I have nothing to give Wind in time rapes the flower trembling on the vine nothing yields to shelter it from above they say temptation will destroy our love the never ending hunger but I fear I have nothing to give I have so much to lose here in this lonely place tangled up in our embrace there's nothing I'd like better than to fall but I fear I have nothing to give I have so much to lose I have nothing to give We have so much to lose... |
| Fumbling Towards Ecstasy |
| All the fear has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh it's my mouth that pushes out this breath and if I shed a tear I won't cage it I won't fear love and if I feel a rage I won't deny it I won't fear love Companion to our demons they will dance, and we will play With chairs, candles, and cloth making darkness in the day It will be easy to look in or out upstream or down without a thought and if I shed a tear I won't cage it I won't fear love and if I feel a rage I won't deny it I won't fear love Peace in the struggle to find peace comfort on the way to comfort and if I shed a tear I won't cage it I won't fear love and if I feel a rage I won't deny it I won't fear love I won't fear love I won't fear love... |
