1. Cracks of Light
Everything is turning black
It feels like time is running out
A careless glance is all it takes
I’m in a tailspin downward
Spiral of doubt
And I know where you’re coming from
Because I saw you there
I pass by you from time to time
Looking for cracks of light
What’s this fear that’s chasing you
This stagnant air is hard to breathe
We’re trapped inside this chicken shack
But the boards are getting thin
I see those bruises on your knees
And I know where you’re coming from
Because I saw you there
I pass by you from time to time
Looking for cracks of light
2. Words
Words - what do they mean
They can slap your face
And make you sting
Words - what do they do
They’ll be doing their job
When I’m through with you
All these words are
Comin’ down on me
I’d like to kill these words
I’d like to make you feel
Just like these words - yeah
I got a few for you
Just a couple of words
Before we’re through
Words - the ones you gave so thoughtlessly
Your precious little words
That cut through me
All these years are
Comin’ down on me
I’d like to kill these fears
I’d like to make you eat
Oh eat these words
They’re comin’ down on me
Words - I want to make you east these words
Oh eat these words
Words - what do they mean
They can slap your face
Hey, they can slap your face
Words
They say so many things
That I don’t wanna hear
3. Quite a Machine
Teeth are grinding gonna break down
Red lights flashing in time
Mindless motion
As the engine starts to whine
Disconnected repetition
Drink your fuel
The propaganda
Is screaming out
Full throttle down
Such a beautiful sound
What you are is insatiable
They polish you till you gleam
They’ll build a new set of jaws for you
You’re quite a machine
Tin man shiny on the outside
Lost the heart inside
The frame is rusting out
We’ll build a new design
Just take your number
And the latest god will heal
Your new addiction
Come and get your thrill
It’s automatic
Mechanical mind
4. Perfect Love
Angel
You’re running blind
Every night you want to die
Cause they don’t know you
They can’t feel your pain
Your innocence
In what you hide
Those secrets that you keep inside
Don’t you know the truth will set you free
Perfect love
She needs perfect love
I watch you from a distance
Reaching out still you resist
All the shame you suffer
For somebody else’s sin
You can cut yourself
You can tell a lie
You can choke down tears
While you wear a smile
Or you can tell the world right now
Just what they did
Perfect love
Who can be the one
She needs perfect love
We want you to feel alive
But you keep on lookin’
Through broken glass to hide
And while you’re hangin’
On the cross
Hey honey what you’re payin’
Ain’t worth the cost
Don’t you see there’s so much more to life
5. Miles Away
You - got no business comin’ around
Unless you - care to see me fallin’ down
Who am I it seems this time
Could be the end
The feeling’s gone
The sun - was a distant dear old friend of mine
And now it’s
Miles and miles away
I - wish to exercise my right to survive
Cause I - got this feeling way down deep inside
Faith in love and God above
The understanding that we deserve
And why is this something
You care not to believe
Because you’re
Miles and miles away
Father said, “Son, won’t you come back home to me”
Father said, “Son, it’ll be alright”
Father said, “Son, won’t you come back home to me”
Father said, “Son, don’t you see the light”
6. Torn to Pieces
Hello my friend
It’s been a while
And I still think about you
As the years go by
Every time that another woman
Lets me down
I run into this place
Inside my mind
I built this holy place around you
I don’t think they would understand
Lisa
I’m torn to pieces
Lisa
I’m torn to shreds
It was so hard
To say goodbye
I’ve tried not to believe
What I feel inside
But sunshine never lasts
Then the rain comes pouring down
So we could pretend
That you’re standing here right now
I place these sacred stones around this
I hold on to this memory
I’m crying
Lisa
I’m torn to pieces
Lisa
I’m torn to shreds
When people say
That they promise you
Then they’ll let you down
I promised my love
Then pushed you away
Pushed you away
You pushed me away
I pushed you away
7. Spit You Out
Dry mouth I can’t swallow
Pillow on my face - panic brow
All clarity is disappearing
I feel so hollow
Bad little bug that’s in my brain
Keep turning up the noise
My body aches
This is too heavy to dismiss
God show me life
Life stomp you out
I scan my mind - have I lost my sight
I scan my life - have I lost my way
These memories tangle like vines
I’m cryin’ that’s OK
I’m feeling separated
I’m speaking louder I hope you hear me
I’m trying not to hate
But I know my anger is bordering on this
God show me love
Love throw you out
Keep saying just get on with life
You’re buried in this emptiness
Why don’t you ask yourself
Are you living a lie - living a lie
God show me truth
Truth spit you out
8. Deconstruct
Deconstructing my life
Where are you now - can’t see the light
She was all around
Now what we built is falling down
Now I feel - Now I feel
But it was by my hand
I tried to love you, understand
Broken pieces all around
This promise smashed down on the ground
Now I feel - Now I feel
I want you here right now
Won’t you forgive me now
Deconstruct my life
Where are you now - can’t see the light
She was all around
Now something’s wrong and falling down
Now I feel - Now I feel
But it was by my hand
I tried to love you, understand
Broken pieces all around
My face is flat down on the ground
Now I feel - Now I feel
I want you here right now
Won’t you forgive me now
Hey I’m not your Superman
I tried to love you understand
Broken pieces all around
My face is flat down on the ground
Now I feel - Now I feel
I want you here right now
This love is falling down
9. Bleed For You
All the things I said
I’d never do
And all the things I said
I’d never say
And all the times that I would bleed for you
And now it seems so far away
10. Handful of Lies
Tear down me
I’m rags on a skeleton
Pick me up off the floor
But she don’t mind
‘Cause everything’s gonna stay
Just the way she want it some more
Don’t you know you’re so involved in this
You ain’t no friend of mine
You see me reaching out to you
What you give is so unkind
A handful of lies
Handful of lies in my pocket
Just a handful of lies
Twilight zone
I feel like I’m Serling
In a sci-fi tragedy
And everybody knows
But you-know-who
Like that’s the way it’s supposed to be
Can you teach me, you’re so good at this
You ain’t no friend of mine
You feel me reaching out to you
What you give is so unkind
11. Close to You
I come to you
These tears in my eyes
My pain is all that’s left of me
It’s all I feel inside
But I’ve heard
That you are the one
And they say you are the light
And if I would just believe your name
Then everything would be all right
And I
Want you to show me Jesus
I need you to be
I want you to pull me close to you
I want to believe
Listen man
Haven’t you heard
While you keep on sinking down
That this world you love
Ain’t throwing no lines for you
It’s every man for himself
But you keep on reaching out to them
And you keep on sinking down
So they salt you to taste
They bruise your face
In the end they’ll spit you out
12. Rain
13. Celebration of Suffering
Bring it on -
Bring it down on me
I used to run from all this pain
I could not see
Embrace the truth that’s here
To set me free
So let it rain down on me
Celebration of suffering
It’s my revelation of suffering
When you shook my gates to see just who I was
I found a deeper meaning in my weakness - higher consciousness
Deliverance from heaven above
These rusty chains are fallin’ off
Celebration of suffering
Celebration of suffering
Open up the sky
Let it rain down on me
Celebration of suffering
Spiritual awakening
I remember when I thought this was the end
Now I celebrate with my new best friend
New aesthetic, new philosophy
I was blind but now I see
14. Deep
Deep - you comfort me
Deep - release me
My friend in silence you are
Profound and you are so free
This moment - penetrates consciousness
It purifies me
Deep - so real to me
Deep - you rescue me
There on the surface a mask - I wear
Longing to be
A child - into your arms
All that I need - I love you
Deep - you’ll always be
Deep - just like a dream
Drifting in timelessness now
These words I’m longing to say
Hold me now
Into this place I shall stay
