Excuses they are what's giving
Of what's is ripe inside
And never ending
And they say

I move with the breeze if I can
Cause the grass won't grow where I stand
Knowing something if not everything
Stone the simple man

Laughter is something so they say
You can't fake dreams away

I move with the breeze if I can
Cause the grass won't grow where I stand
Knowing something if not everything
Stone the simple man
Make a mark on many at passing times
Take a power trip crazy within due style
Knowing something if not everything
Stone the simple man

Everything it leaves you something
And nothing starts the hunting
That's never ending
And again

Asphalt...
Burning under the wheels beneath me
My black sky's are crying
Multi-colored pain upon me

Arms are rising
Straight up from the bodies beneath
They've come to carry me away
To a little 'ol place where I feel safe

Father time...
As always he's ticking away
Keeps on stealing my life
Day be day

The crimes timing
Couldn't ever be better for me
Arms are rising
Straight up from the bodies beneath
They've come to carry me away
To a little 'ol place where I feel safe
Brother-man don't you understand
I'm gone

I'm gone...
Like the wind around your world
Blowing through your hate stained door
I was gone before the last tear hit the floor

Gear are turning
In my head the sickness burning
Damning Eden
The purest of hearts are broken even

Ears are listening
The truth is sad a weak man's burden
Eyes are searching
The truth is sad it hides nothing

Touch my mind and fade away
Falling down... losing faith
You can't take my pain away
Falling down... Damning Eden

Hollowed sin
Dims the path of the righteous man
Hollowed man
From within comes the beggars hymn

We see you feelings running dry again
Who am I but a man that wants to die again
Felt fine till you opened up my sin
Sit back realize where we've been

We see you armies moving in again
A police action or genocide again
We see the past being hid again
Sit back realize where we've been

Frustrations seeping in again
We're trusting lies instead
Of the truth my friend
We see the blackness of your sins
Take a look back to where we've been

Our eyes read between your lines
Your actions are as loud as mime's
Red tape seals our lips again
Take a look back to where we've been

You make me want to stand up
And scream I want to be free
Never think about the unthinkable
1600 and her backwards dance

Why you build me up
Just to tear me down
Like a little used soul
Pitches straight to the ground
In this game
There's something I strive to be yet
I always fall in my shame

If you allow it in
Then the trip never ends
And what really could have been
In this life
There's something I've tried to be yet
It's fallen right out of reach

So you picked me up
On my feet again
And then again I'm the man I am
So you picked me up
On my feet again
Lost inside is the man I am

Time and lines again
I've tried so hard to be a man
Yet the pride slips through my hands

Hello again sweet mother
Do you still love me the way you used to
So sorry I didn't turn out
The way you always wanted me to

Tell me your sick and tired
Sick and tired of the way I live my life
You could never understand me
If you could take my hand
Take a look from where I stand
Someday you just might understand...me

Hello again sweet mother
Do you still love me the way you used to
So sorry I didn't turn out
The way you always wanted me to
Hello again sweet mother

Turn me around...upside down again
You don't like my lots in this life
Or the decisions I've made in my time
Why's me being different make a difference to you...why

If I fell down sweet mother
Would you pick me up
Put me on the path of the straight and narrow

Show me the lines that bind inside
Tell me the lines that bind you...inside

High chairs creakin'
But the minds won't weaken
Soil in the pot
And then it's all fine here
Are all your wishes gone
Or is there one you hold dear
Too far to barrow
One of mine from over here

Say what am I...BUterrfly
Just a weed amongst flowers shining through
Butterfly..Saw what am I
Your minds been soaking in the bright blue sky

Rubber band-man
Can you really say you can
No way man
And then it's all fine here
Eyes show that you're the one that
I want to old near
Think of what you thought
You only know what you hear

Hello there can anyone hear me
Slipping through the crack
Just a lifeless messenger
Caught in a world of looking back
See how my winds are changing
watch proud shoulders slack
Is the now built of the past
With no importance I fall back
When I've got you by my side
I won't have to stand alone no
When I've got you by my side
These ways will shatter

The growing ways take us father
Than we ever cared to travel
And if we keep our eyes on the glory
We'll embrace the never forever

Can any matter, weigh any less
Like a medal worn on the chest
A simple memory serves me less
Feel me, Touch me, leave me to waste
Without even taking a taste
This square peg has found it's round hole
And from the nest this bird begines to roll

While catering perfection
The light never shined off you
And then again my friend it's always
Been you through and through

Your one...if you choose
Maybe two..still I lose

A cripple on a wire
Take a look and see
Inside this prison called me
Scream aloud what you see
Turn me around again
My friend, my friend
If you see the fires burning my hands

I won't fly...cause when I reach the sky
I come tumbling down again
And I ....no I won't hide
I won't crawl to walk, to stand and fall again
So simple all the while
Way too simple for you
Tell me what to do
Do you want me to be like you
Build me up again
Stand me up to knock me down
I've made it this far with just a little taste of sin

Sitting back...behind a power desk Assuming control
Walls...with doors shut
Like a newly caged fool
Scream aloud...did you wish this life
Did your choice of cards unfold...no

Tell me there's no more rebels here
In search of freedom your caught In a blinded stare
Tell me there's no more rebels here
search inside for a....friend

Building block...where we could stand
Was this in the name of your god
Now...have you forgot
How it feels to be so alive
Hey man..is your fave a friend
Is the rat race your in ever gonna end...no

Tell me there's no more rebels here
In search of freedom you caught in a blinded stare
If you cut yourself will you...
Bleed from fear or bleed with pride
Gonna show the world ain't right
Stand up force the hand
Don't breathe the breath of the concrete...clave

Walls...within you live your lige
can you feel them squeezing you in...two

Fools say that I've lost my way
They say that from my path I've strayed away
Who'll clear my way to a better day
Who'll cleanse my veins and take all my pains away
She takes me in, She holds me in
She keeps me away from my sin
She makes me feel, She makes me real
She give me time to heal and
I never want to see the pain scar her face again and
I never want to leave the warm embrace of my true friend
Sitting back I realize the mistakes I've made
Moving forward hope to find a simpler way
Feel as if the gods have damned my everyday
She takes me in, She holds me in
She keeps me away from my sin
She makes me feel, She makes me real
She give me time to heal and
I never want to see the pain scar her face again and
I never want to leave the warm embrace of my true friend

Look down at your hands
At the stake your about to drive
Feel the tears on your cheeks
Empty needle in your mind

Look into your blood red sky
Where your feeling fly so high
Every once in a while friend
Everyone needs a helping hand

Don't crucify me
I'm not ready to die just yet
I've got something to say, to see, to be
Crucified

Theive me one last chance
To prove what I can
Not made of brittle glass
I'm not a broken man.. no

Bloody hands mark where I've been
And my eyes could tell the stories
The fools that march beyond my grasp
Shame shame they oughta know better
A shining man I've never been
And the cloud around me knows better
Can't rhyme the reason
I've got the feeling once again
to kill again
I'm on my way
To kill aain
I've got the need to kill again

Sympathy isn't cheap
And no reason makes it bitter
The lines I hate dissipate
Form a crime against me you better
A shining man I've never been
And the cloud around me knows better
Can't face my opinion
I've got the feeling once again
To kill again
I'm on my way
To kill again
I've got the need to kill again

Seething the bleeding
Planting lifeless seeds of myself
Never a shining man never was never am

Never rising always falling
Planting all the seeds of myself
Never a shining man never was never am

Gear are turning
In my head the sickness burning
Damning Eden
The purest of hearts are broken even

Ears are listening
The truth is sad a weak man's burden
Eyes are searching
The truth is sad it hides nothing

Touch my mind and fade away
Falling down... losing faith
You can't take my pain away
Falling down... Damning Eden

Hollowed sin
Dims the path of the righteous man
Hollowed man
From within comes the beggars hymn
