Kill The Artist
Tell me mother, have you heard the song // About a war that's been going on? // Listen father and you'll know it's true // There's only one thing we can do // So who's with me? // Kill the artist, kill him now // Break his bones until he bows // Kill the artist, paint 'em red // Take his soul and leave him lying dead // Hear me sister he will feed you lies // Feed you slander for your ears and eyes // C'mon brother you must stand and fight // You know together we must do what's right
Free
Working too hard living out on the road // Thinking that I had it all // Living my life from breath to breath // Throwing my back to the wall // Now I'm running faster than I ever have before // Gotta get away from this, I can't take it any more // Oh yeah, you know I'll see the day // When I will realize I can find my own way // I can't explain what it means to be free // I can't explain how it feels to be free // Wasting away the time in a day // Finally gasping for air // Wishing I was away on a wing // Living without a care // Now I'm flying faster than I ever have before
One Way To Go
You got one way to go // One chance to steal the show // You think it over // You mull it over and now // You've got one thing to know // One, two, three, four, let's go // You mull it over // Let's talk it over 'cus now // YOU GOT ONE WAY TO GO
Ready For The One
Acting tough and looking cool // I'm just treading water // Dreaming of perfect skin // And praying I don't lose my hair // If I could see beyond my eyes // To a world you claim is there // Then I'd hear those words to live by // Words I've always known you'd share // Now I feel as though I'm ready // Ready for the one // I've been searching for so long // // I've been waiting for so long // Everyone wants to feel the music // Singing an dancing together in this moment // Connected together through constellations // Everyone wants to feel this love // I've seen so many things in any given day // I am convinced this is what it means to be alive // The sights and sounds of inspiration and wonder // Put a fire in my heart and a vision in my eyes
Stockbroker
What is the price we pay // To see the turn of another day? // What we call human worth // The debt we owe for the price of birth // Oh yeah // See the truth in it all // Today will rise, tomorrow will fall // So play the game 'cus after all // You'll see the day when you lose it all // One, two, three, FOUR // Would you stake your claim? // Risk it all for the chance to gain? // Or defer your dreams instead? // Wake up tired but in your own bed? // SELL
A Cure For The Common Cold
You wanna tie me down, more than any other // You've made your mind up and that's all I can say // You wanna stick around, more than any other // I've given up pretending there's any other way // You wanna shake me down, more than any other, like a lover // And oh the many years I've had my eye on you // You wanna fool around, more than any other, like a lover // You read my mind so that's exactly what I'll do
Dead Space
The last breath I shall ever take is wasted // My remains forever leave no traces // No eclipse of my eye, no return to the sky // The dead space in my heart remains unsatisfied // The last step I shall ever walk in vain // No part of me, my history, remains
Lucky You
Lucky you, you're queen of the world // Gonna cash it in? // Lucky me, you've given the word // But where do I fit in? // I don't have the time to change your mind // You're not worth a damn to me // High on your throne you rule alone // Why can't they all see? // Lucky you, you're love has conquered all // Lucky me, I'm not the first to fall // And I won't be the last // Far below the castle keep // Those who've fallen for you weep // Ever longing to ascend // Ever longing for the end
Every Time
Every time I go down that road // I begin to lose control // I hear your voice, you call my name // Leading me into the darkness again // Every time, I fear the ground is falling // Every time, I hear that old voice calling me // That's the time I go back to you // You're so cruel treating me this way // Every time leading me astray // On this darkened day I'm down on my knees // You're making me pray, I'm begging Lord please, please, please // Every time, these shadows make me stumble // Every time, my will begins to crumble
Dying To Know
Don't look me in the eye, I've got a lot on my mind // I wouldn't want you to catch a cold // I've gotta take some time away and figure some things out // Don't worry, I won't forget to write // Can you tell me at all what do you think love is? // Now I know it's not a question you'll hear every day // But can you tell me at all what do you think love is? // I'd kill to understand and I'm dying to know // Eyes to the ground, take comfort in the sound // Will you be around when I finally come back down? // If I were you I wouldn't be, but maybe that's just me // Eyes to the ground, I take comfort in the sound // Of the world spinning round and round my head
Tell me mother, have you heard the song // About a war that's been going on? // Listen father and you'll know it's true // There's only one thing we can do // So who's with me? // Kill the artist, kill him now // Break his bones until he bows // Kill the artist, paint 'em red // Take his soul and leave him lying dead // Hear me sister he will feed you lies // Feed you slander for your ears and eyes // C'mon brother you must stand and fight // You know together we must do what's right
