I've walked the distance, I paid my dues and tried to have a go at what I thought I knew was real, held no appeal
I've been to places, I've seen the tidings,
I bought a book of rules for every coin that I could steal
And so I came to gaze upon the stars, when they were yet unborn
And consequently, tear at my old scars, and the mask I had outworn

refrain:
So when I'm crying alone
Yeah, when I'm cold as a dying stone
Grow me a garden of roses
Paint me the colors of sky and rain
Teach me to speak with their voices
Show me the way and I'll try again

I've heard the rumors, started fires, I sowed a sordid lot of plays for keeps for what I need, behold the demons that I freed
I've tried my best at wearing the hard hat, but healing doesn't seem to happen when you hide away the seed
And so I came across the medicine man, and he showed me what I'd forlorn
For if I'm stayed it happens by my own hand, and my own voice full of scorn

refrain

Without you I'm nothing at all
And life has the face of a morbid game
With you nothing seems impossible
It all seems to fit the frame

refrain

More than you know it, I'm aware
Of this connection that we share
Yeah I know it seems like sometimes I don't care
But you are the colours that I wear
It's been a few hours, nearly dawn
You've been real quiet all along
Now I cannot help but think there's something wrong
Hey baby what's going on?

refrain:
3 AM we seemed alright (Couldn't be better, couldn't be better)
On our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone
Along with where there's nothing wrong
3 AM we seemed alright

If I have been thoughtless, let me know
I can take a hint you know
Though I'm a little slow
Just don't keep it in you
Lest it take root and grow
The bottom line here is I love you so

refrain

3 AM we seemed alright (Like never better, like never better)
We're on our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone
Along with where there's nothing wrong
3 AM we seemed alright

Ooooh

refrain

Ooooh

3 AM we seemed alright (Like never better, like never better)
On our way into the light
Now 3 AM is gone
Along with where there's nothing wrong
3 AM we seemed alright

Sometimes I know there is nothing to say
So do I pick up my puzzle and just walk away?
Do I follow my conscience?
Am I mock sincere?
I don't know what I'm doing here

I have a knack for perceving things
I can see how it sounds
I can feel how it sings
When you paint me an image of who you are
I know it's the best by far

So

refrain:
Don't, don't, don't mess my hair
If all you do is fake it
Don't, don't, don't say you care
'Cause I could never shake it
Don't, don't, don't mess with me
Don't, don't, don't mess with me

No point of view is enough to quell
The rigors of passion in this world I dwell
If I'm going to scale the highest wall
I'm gonna give it my all

Riding along with this train of thought
I see everything
I find all I sought
And I try to kick the habit of trying to reach
But there's something I do beseech

So please...

refrain

I'll say it's not surprising
You're sweet talking, mesmerizing
Juicy and appetizing, true
But will I need to get over you?
Feels like my sun is rising
Tick tick tick, synchronizing
Readjusting, organizing me
Is this fiction reality?
Bless the uncompromising
With no shame for advertising
When my needs go through downsizing
I need someone to pick up my beat
My dreams need realizing, candles on sugar icing
Judgment and harmonizing
Or it'll end up like before

refrain

Why in these days of man made wonders, we still bicker over flies
When you come seeking for forgiveness, I'll be forced to choose my side
If I deny you what you're searching, do I do it out of fear
Am I ruling out my reason, killing that which I hold dear

Out of my way I'm running, with an excuse just underway
Reality's so daunting, and I've got no way to explain

refrain:
'cause when you're sleeping right next to me, I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name, why do I turn away to run
I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears

In the light of recent findings, there's no greater taint than grace.
But to relinquish all our bindings. Always finds us out of place
If I rested here a while more, would you hold me to your heart
If I know what it's meant for, would I know to play my part

Out of my way I'm leaving
Another excuse before I'll stay
Reality's applauding
I know I don't know the right way

refrain

Is it a lost cause
Can we overlook this taint
Are these dead laws, like a doubt eating the saint

And though I fear these shackles, like my darkness closing in
I will hold out my hands, I will hold out my hands

refrain

Do you breathe the name
of your savior
In your hour of need
And taste the blame
If the flavor should remind you of greed

Of implication insinuation and ill will
till you cannot lay still
in all this turmoil before red cape and foil
come closer in for a kill

refrain:
Come feed the rain
'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah feed the rain
'Cause without your love my life, ain't nothing but this carnival of rust

It's all a game
avoiding failure when true colors will bleed
All in the name
of misbehavior and the things we don't need
I lust for after, no disaster can touch
touch us anymore
And more than ever I hope to never fall
Where enough is not the same it was before

refrain

'Cause without your love my life, ain't nothing but this carnival of rust
Yeah feed the rain

'Cause I'm thirsty for your love
Dancing underneath the skies of lust
Yeah feed the rain

'Cause without your love my life, ain't nothing but this carnival of rust

Don't walk away
Don't walk away, when the world is burning
Don't walk away
Don't walk away, when the heart is yearning
(2x)

Times when I just can't
Bring myself to say it loud
'Fraid that what I'll say comes out somehow awry

That is when it seems
We move in circles day to day
Twist the drama of the play to get us by

And it feels like fear
Like I'll disappear
Gets so hard to steer
Yet I go on
Do we need debate
When it seems too late
Like I bleed but wait
Like nothing's wrong

You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly,
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly,
Where all new wonders will appear

Like the other day
I thought you won't be coming back
I came to realize my lackluster dreams

And among the schemes
And all the tricks we try to play
Only dreams will hold their sway and defy

When it feels like fear...
Like I'll disappear
Gets so hard to steer
Yet I go on
Do we need debate
When it seems too late
Like I bleed but wait
Like nothing's wrong

You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly,
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly,
Where all new wonders will appear, oooohhhh

You lift my spirit, take me higher, make me fly,
Touch the moon up in the sky, when you are mine
You lift me higher, take my spirit, make it fly,
Where all new wonders will appear

Take me high
Make me fly
Take my spirit
Make it fly

Hear your heartbeat
Beat a frantic pace
And it's not even seven AM
You're feeling the rush of anguish settling
You cannot help showing them in
Hurry up then
Or you'll fall behind and
They will take control of you
And you need to heal the hurt behind your eyes
Fickle words crowding your mind

refrain:
So
Sleep, sugar, let your dreams flood in
Like waves of sweet fire, you're safe within
Sleep, sweetie, let your floods come rushing in
And carry you over to a new morning

Try as you might
You try to give it up
Seems to be holding on fast
It's hand in your hand
A shadow over you
A beggar for soul in your face
Still it don't matter if you won't listen
If you won't let them follow you
You just need to heal
Make good all your lies
Move on and don't look behind

refrain

Day after day
Fickle visions messing with your head
Fickle, vicious
Sleeping in your bed
Messing with your head
Fickle visions
Fickle, vicious...

refrain

Look in my eyes I'll make you see
We're drifting aimlessly
Blind in a world of make believe

Hear them sing their songs off key
N' nod like they agree
Buying the need to be discreet

refrain:
I've got no hand in matters worldly, I hardly care at all
What's going on fails to concern me, 'cause I'm locked behind my wall
But you know what drives me out
Out of my mind

refrain2:
It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
The images they sell are illusion and dream
In other words: dishonesty

If I speak ill, please, humor me
Won't rant on endlessly
Just thought I'd try to make you see

It doesn't solve a thing to dress it in a pretty gown
A stone will not need you to guess if you're still going to drown
So you know what drives me out
Out of my mind

refrain2

So can you name your demon?
Understand it's scheming
I raise my glass and say "here's to you"
Can you chase your demon?
Or will it take your freedom?
I raise my glass and say "here's to you"

refrain

It's whatever makes you see, makes you believe
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
That the images they sell are illusion and dream
In other words: dishonesty

So whatever makes you see, makes you believe
And forget about the premonition you need to conceive
The images they sell are illusion and dream
In other words: dishonesty

With silence comes peace
With peace comes freedom
With freedom comes silence

On your palm an endless wonder
Lines that speak the truth without a sound
In your eyes awaits the tireless hunger
Already looks for prey to run down

So why do we keep up this charade?
How do we tell apart the time to leave, from the time to wait?

refrain:
What does tomorrow want from me?
What does it matter what I see?
If it can't be my design.
Tell me where do we draw the line.

The dance of flames and shadows in the street,
make poetry nobody's ever heard.
The weight of loneliness stands on your feet.
The cage already there around the bird.

So why don't we join the masquerade?
Before it falls apart, before our love becomes insatiate.

What does tomorrow want from me?
What does it matter what I see?
If it can't choose my own design.
Tell me where do we draw the line.

What does tomorrow want from me?
What does it matter what I see?
If we all walk behind the blind.
Tell me where do we draw the line.

Where's the cooling wind? Where's the evergreen field?
Where's my mother's open arms? Where's my father lionheart?
S' like the sun's gone down, sleeps in the hallowed ground now.
With the autumn's browns leaves, with the one who never grieves.

So why do we keep up this charade?
How do we tell apart the time to leave from the time to wait?

refrain

What ever tomorrow wants from me
At least I'm here, at least I'm free
Free to choose, to see the sign

On and on
I was looking for freedom
Less and more I found it by you
This darkened sky
Of our heavenly kingdom
The thing in common is
There's not so much left to say

refrain:
Are you ready or not
Ready for the truth
Sick and tired of this nonsense
I'm frustrated by you

The sounds of silence
Are getting louder
Breaking the bond we protected so long
I don't see reason to ponder
With this any longer
There's no turning back
Just one way to fall... fall apart

refrain

refrain2:
In the love that we live in
For the love we believed in
This might be the day we die
So we can be born again

And life should be easy
When there's someone to hold you
That's what they told me
That's what I thought

refrain
