1. Dream Machine
Talk to yourself
Listen because no one else will
And shine your star
Shine your star
Shine your star
Lock your door
And keep the strangers away
Talk to your imaginary friends
That only you can see
And stare
Stare into your dream machine
See what you see but don't say that you see it
Hide yourself less someone will steal it
Hide your love
Hide your love
Sunday velvet
2. She Said
She said you chew me up
and then you spit me out
You can't do those things
But I said
You fed me like I was a baby
And I never asked you for anything
And she said
Why do i always have to bleed
Maybe then I'll love you
She said
Why do I always have to bleed
Maybe then I'll love you
She said
You can't see anything
But you can change anything
And you can paint your sky any colour any colour
It's all up to you
She said
You can paint your dark as dark as you need
And you can paint your light as light as you please
It's all up to you
3. The Blind Man
Can you hear a blind man say I wish I could love
Or can you hear a lover say I wish I could see
Or have you ever bled and tried to hide wounds
So no one could see your pain
I'm tired of hiding
I'm tired of hiding
Have you ever seen a bird fly
Have you ever seen the sun shine
Have you ever held something beautiful knowing that it will eventually die
I'm tired of waiting
I'm tired of waiting
4. I've Seen the Man
I've seen a man on the corner
Preaching of his god
I've seen another That doesn't want the burden of his cross
But I stand dead in the centre
With nothing at all
I stand dead in the centre
With nothing at all
I see a man that says
I can give you everything
Just open hands
I see another
Say just let the time pass
But I stand dead in the centre
With nothing at all
But a head full of shit and a fear of the past
While he stands and laughs
Damn god
5. The Desert Song
Kill kill kill
Burn my crosses
Shoot shoot shoot
I'm already starving
and eight weeks later hands still reaching for something
Let god save god
Let god save god
6. Home
Black car
Wrong side of the road
Saying
Look out jack we're taking him home
We're taking him home
To his promised land
See the woman point to the sky
Cross her heart
And hope to die
Jesus made her do it
Jesus made her do it
She's taking him home
She's taking him home
To his promised land
I'm a wayward soldier
On my way
I'm a wayward soldier
On my way
To my promised land
7. It's All Over
She said it's cold out here
Won't you let me in
we've been in this rain for hours
You haven't said a thing
And she said
Why do all the things have to change
Just when they mean the most
Why do all the things have to change
Just when they mean the most
It always happen that way
It always happens that way
8. Temptation
9. Out
Why is your sky always so much bluer than mine
You look to your sky and say how beautiful
And I look at my walls and scream let me out
and if your walls ever should come falling
I'd understand
Yes i'd understand
Because mine already has
Let me out
Let me out
10. Ego
Ego is beast
Ego is evil
But ego knows best
At least she says so
I am one
And i am all
But sometimes
I am nothing
And you know you know my little insecurities
Like someday
I may fade away
I can't find my way to heaven
I can't find my way to heaven
Who's at you your dark door
Calling my name
And who walks on these floors
Who walks on these floors
Who's at the back door
Calling my name
Pass the red light
Pass the red light
Red light
Ego is beast
Ego is evil
11. Seven
All love
Slowly fades
While we refuse change
All things
Come and go
This we know
This we know
You can find a reason
For anything
And you can make excuses
For all bad things
And you can justify
Before present occurs
So you can walk away
Before I begin to hurt
Can't you see that i still believe
That as long as you dream
Some things will always be
So please don't poison me
Please don't poison me
With your bitterness
You look
But you see right through me
Like I don't exist
I don't exist
But I point
And say you are a liar
You are a liar
Someday
12. Purity
If I show you the truth
Will you show me the beauty
If I show you the pain
Will you show me the purity
If i show you the scars
Will you show me yours
It's the same all over
It's the same all over
You were never there
You were never there.
13. The Piano Song
