1.
A Complete Unknown ....
.. ..
in the hallway....
a seed was sewn....
into the mind of a complete unknown....
then a story....
which was never known....
rose to the surface ....
and soon took hold....
.. ..
like a battle ....
you just can't win....
what you've kept out....
you now let in....
and the secrets of a convenient
friend....
bringing you back....
again and again....
.. ..
back and fourth from what you think
is right....
time could heal the things you feel
tonight....
.. ..
so wake up ....
put on a new face....
following through....
with agreements made....
but a feeling ....
you just can't name....
is taking control....
of what you do and say....
.. ..
back and fourth from what you think
is right....
time could heal the things you feel
tonight....
.. ..
roads signal decay....
when you're torn between your words....
you cannot be saved....
this is something you own....
.. ..
you won’t get no sympathy....
try if you want but it won't be free....
from the shadows....
you just can't see....
desire and need....
almost never agree....
.. ..
2.
The Other Side ....
.. ..
when the morning comes I feel my
mind still wonders....
that what we have may not be right
for me....
but perfection keeps you looking
around forever....
for a heaven only you will ever see....
.. ..
take my time ....
take my chances....
cuz I don't know what all of this
will ever mean....
hear my words ....
but don't you listen....
cuz I don't know about the other
side of me....
.. ..
we had so much fun as we drove around
last Sunday....
and things were right and I knew
just what to do....
I’ve never had a hard time assisting
anybody....
but my biggest fear is what I can't
give to you....
.. ..
take my time ....
take my chances....
cuz I don't know what all of this
will ever mean....
hear my words ....
but don't you listen....
cuz I don't know about the other
side of me....
.. ..
there won't always be tomorrow....
I realize....
.. ..
still I take my time ....
take my chances....
cuz I don't know what all of this
will ever mean....
hear my words ....
but don't you listen....
cuz I don't know about the other
side of me....
I don't know about the other side
of me....
I don't know about the other side
of me....
.. ..
3.
It's Been So Long ....
.. ..
who's right who's wrong....
it doesn't matter still....
it doesn't matter still....
it's been so long....
i don't know how you feel....
i don't know how you feel....
.. ..
what's mine what's yours....
it doesn't matter still....
it doesn't matter still....
things aren't like before....
I don't know how you feel....
I don't know how I feel....
.. ..
mercy finds us every now and then....
but holes are present still....
same old story time and time again....
as you sit on your hill....
.. ..
it's been so long....
I don't know how you feel....
I don't know how you feel....
.. ..
who gives who takes....
it doesn't matter still....
it doesn't matter still....
don’t know what to say....
I don't know how I feel....
I don't know how I feel....
.. ..
mercy finds us every now and then....
but holes are present till....
same old story time and time again....
as you sit on your hill....
yeah....
yeah....
yeah ....
yeah....
.. ..
who's right who's wrong....
it doesn't matter still....
it doesn't matter still....
it's been so long....
I don't know how I feel....
I don't know how I feel....
.. ..
4.
Darker Days....
.. ..
cold....
when I found your fire....
and you had so much to give....
you showed me what it meant....
to fight....
and be strong enough....
to liberate my love....
from the futile hands of those that
don't believe....
in what I need....
.. ..
so you know I won't occupy my mind
with the darker days....
.. ..
I wanted....
something new....
but when the changing winds occurred....
I never was too sure....
what to do....
an assortment of excuse....
it's hard to hear the truth....
you either listen or you treat it
like disease....
and i'm hard to please ....
.. ..
but you know I won't occupy my mind
with the darker days....
cuz I know I’ve found what i'm
looking for when I see your face....
and there's just a few around when
you're in need....
but I know you’ll be there to define
my ways....
yeah yeah yeah....
.. ..
but you know I won't occupy my mind
with the darker days....
cuz I know I’ve found what i'm
looking for when I see your face....
and there's just a few around when
you're in need....
and I know you’ll help me to define
my ways....
and there’s nothing left when you’re
down on your knees....
but I know you’ll be there to refine
what I know....
yeah yeah yeah....
.. ..
5.
Self Preservation....
.. ..
every now and then you wonder what
went wrong....
Short-term memory sings the latest
song....
but over time the many lines were
drawn....
forcing everyone to a place where
they belong....
.. ..
we know by now....
it's hard to turn this around....
but like the leaves change....
we just have to rearrange....
in order to get by....
.. ..
friends and lovers were never
approved to provide....
but a parent is anyone showing you
how to survive....
if there's no game then there's no
win or lose....
but as it stands now it's got to be
me or you....
.. ..
we know by now....
it's hard to turn this around....
but like the leaves change....
we just have to rearrange....
in order to survive....
.. ..
we know by now....
it's hard to turn this around....
but like the leaves change....
we just have to rearrange....
in order to get by....
.. ..
6.
Leavenworth ....
.. ..
it wouldn't take you long....
to forget your name....
gifts hung around your neck....
they don't mean a thing....
no laws nor the house of god....
could keep your word....
time is running out....
to begin your search....
.. ..
and in Leavenworth....
you knew....
what you wanted but ....
could not do....
.. ..
but I won't belong to this....
tracking down the lies that I know
I’ve missed....
and only the fools would hang around....
cuz when love is lost it can't ....
be found....
.. ..
some of the wounds I’ve kept....
others kept at bay ....
wars over times we spent....
with nothing left to say....
.. ..
and in Leavenworth....
you knew....
what you wanted but ....
could not do....
.. ..
but I won't belong to this....
tracking down the lies that I know
I’ve missed....
and only the fools would hang around....
cuz when love is lost it can't....
be found....
.. ..
and I won't belong to this....
tracking down the lies that I know
I’ve missed....
and only the fools would hang around....
cuz when love is lost it can't....
be found....
.. ..
7.
Grand Opinion ....
.. ..
every time you slip they can't know....
everyone needs a chance to start
over....
who's in charge of love's allocation....
those answers never do come easy....
.. ..
so often times your mind will wander....
with a focus on what you can get
tonight....
in the end no one is accountable....
what have we left for the ones
taking over....
.. ..
time tells you everything....
the right from the wrong the
songs we sing....
the sun will set and the sun
will rise....
we don't have to
live analytical lives....
.. ..
how many times will you be altered....
now the scars are turning inside out....
soon things will return to
wonderful ....
what have we done for the ones
taking over....
.. ..
time tells you everything....
the right from the wrong the
songs we sing....
the sun will set and the sun
will rise....
we don't have to live analytical
lives....
.. ..
if you don't fight....
for what you want....
roads will be built for
you ....
as you....
sit around....
sing along....
then back on back we'll go....
back on back we'll go....
.. ..
8.
Fortunate Family Tree ....
.. ..
a fortunate one from a fortunate
family tree....
passing you by taking
liberties tonight....
but that's all right....
.. ..
when the system fails you'll be next
to me....
with all it entails and all that
asks of me ....
i'm fine ....
yeah i'm all right....
.. ..
a full-blown fantasy....
a complex pride....
your made up nemeses are wrecking
your mind....
.. ..
fissures appear in this burning land....
where it's hard to find love and
hard to make a plan....
yeah you know....
yeah you know....
.. ..
is this how you'd like to build your
world....
with half of a song and half
sacrificed words....
then you're gone....
yeah you're gone....
.. ..
a full-blown fantasy....
a complex pride....
your made up nemeses are wrecking
your mind....
an unfair penalty....
that you can't fight....
a long dark canopy ....
pulled over your eyes....
.. ..
a fortunate one from a fortunate
family tree....
passing you by taking
liberties tonight....
oh what a sight....
.. ..
now the earth it turns regardless of
harmony....
this city it burns but now it's a
part of me....
and i'm fine....
yeah i'm all right....
.. ..
a full-blown fantasy....
a complex pride....
your made up nemeses are wrecking
your mind....
an unfair penalty....
that you can't fight....
a long dark canopy ....
pulled over your eyes....
it's wrecking your mind....
it's wrecking your mind....
it's wrecking your mind....
.. ..
..
..

9.
When the Dust Settles ....
.. ..
I know you better than you know your
own name....
situations drive you oh so crazy....
show interest but it's all for
strangers....
tell me something you haven't heard
from someone else....
.. ..
don't you know where you are who are
you fooling....
now you're in the land of the most
confused....
and people's moods just glorify what
you're doing....
tell me something you haven't heard
from all the rest....
.. ..
cuz I will wait here for you now....
and when the dust settles you'll
find me here somehow....
.. ..
you're being as insincere as you
ever will be....
what you say and do aren't the same....
taking all that you know for granted
slowly....
talk a lot with nothing at all to
say....
.. ..
cuz I will wait here for you now....
and when the dust settles you'll
find me here somehow....
I’ll be someone you'll never forget....
you can't see me now....
but I will wait here for you now....
.. ..
tell me something you know....
it won't be long till you beg and
you borrow....
tell me something you know....
tell me something you know....
.. ..
and I will wait here for you now....
and when the dust settles you'll
find me here somehow....
I’ll be someone you never forget....
you can't see me now....
but I will wait here for you now....
and I will wait here for you now....
