When I found this place of peace I smiled and said it was mine to keep. Then I closed my eyes and screamed for you. Couldnt find you standing there because you were standing for you. I didnt see your feelings true. Sunshine is on my mind my friends I need you to make it shine. Yeah its true my friends Id die for you. Emotions can hurt so bad but Im not going to make these days the ones I never had. Now Ive come to see my self for the things Ive hated because I closed my eyes to everyone else. So Ill try and change myself because all I want is sunshine for you and everybody else. Ive got to break my thickening walls. Sunshine is on my mind my friends I need you to make it shine. Yeah its true my friends Id die for you. Your smiles could fill my days this sunshine is for all of us to take and run away. I think I love you and to me it is so new when darkness surrounds me Ill get my sunshine from you. I love you all...

I fall and I dissolve myself again... Slain the beautiful. My time alone is not always merciful. The voices in my head screaming over and over again. So I dissolve myself I dissolve myself again... I was the on who built these walls now I have to be free. Can you help me break this hold of my insecurities? In this minute falling theres nothing left but hope. I feel hatred all around us. Im holding tightly to the end of my rope. I feel so alone. Please tell me Im not alone... Help me see the beauty in my pain. And I wont ever let these feelings slip away. Injustice is the theme for today. Repression is the price we pay. Life is fire it needs to burn free. Can we learn compassion for all living beings? Or just tear it all down? Can we find it in ourselves to set ourselves free?

Because my hands are stained does not make yours cleaner. Because Im weak does not make you stronger. Innocence is a myth superiority is a lie.The world seems a little clearer now as I rest my head and close my eyes... I never feel like I belong. And I dont want to hate myself when I dont feel strong. I find it in myself to carry on even when I feel alone... Promise lies heavy on my mind but I cant see truth from lies. I search for hope in your eyes hope in my life. And Freedom is what I hope to find. I search for peace of mind so I might know myself. I lost you somewhere along the way. Maybe if we worked on today together we could put away our armor someday and burn this empty cage... Nothing can be sure and nothing here is pure but still I look for answers and I lose myself in truth. When I find myself in dirt will I find you? Im so in love with you. Im finding things inside me I never knew... I am dirt. Blowing out of control in the wind. Nothing more than dirt. Nothing I feel could ever mean a thing. It sets me free my empty cage this heart of rage... This nothing is my everything. Heavy on my mind. I rest my head I close my eyes...

Peaceful one its time to take your life away. Loving liars lost in blissful soul decay. Blood is falling torched lives of misery. You cant even comprehend why we cause you so much pain. Selfishness self-righteousness and greed. We learn so much but we dont conceive. Kill my thoughts of harmony. Peaceful one you give so much but dont receive. Life a precious gift to through away killing for humanity. Like a master and his slave cut the thought and dig the grave. Death the drug of which we feed blind because there is no real need for the flesh of which we crave thats how weve been taught to behave. Kill no more. Stop this ritual misery. Lives are not a tool for humanity. When compassion is the flag of which we raise. We all can be the masters no more slaves. We are being lied to.

Is sanity far away? Do we want to kill ourselves from the path weve strayed. But we move on with more dying day to day. Isanity foundations we lay the inbreed hate and greed from our first day. But I know I know it wont go away. Its time to end this vicious cycle of hate and greed that fills our minds. Our moral standards have corroded tell me the color of blood and rust. Our machine is now out dated adn we will all turn to dust. I can see this all there must be a way to make a change today. Let me express my feelings at the risk of sounding anti-human it seems to me that were all parasites and we are bleeding dry this earth. We need to see the power that surrounds us the energy that we destroy. We need to learn a word called harmony and understand that life is not a toy. I feel like Im slipping I cant stand on weak foundations I cant see any explanations.

I play a game called pain. I see my words they make everyone play but will anyone stay. Ill just sit by this wall another time to fall. Ill see all the faces but I wont hear all the words. Be at all the places strictly unobserved. Something so strong happening to my world I am nothing I am not the only one. Bring it to my doorstep I wont turn you to the cold. Im just trying to find some answers but my questions have been sold. I just need someone to tell me just say everythings ok. Im just trying to find out if I mean a word I say. My words pull me down I cant see in the dark. Their words fill me up. I am nothing they are not. Theres just a child inside me cant you see Im not that strong. I fall with every whisper because I feel I dont belong. I just need a little shelter for my ever dieing skin. Please wont someone speak a word because these bonds are growing thin. Trying to get away never knowing I wanted to stay. Now I search for a way to find a little closeness a little time. In time will it all just die?

I felt the sun cold. Burning slow... Looking for all I have to give I found myself on the floor again. Say you care. It sets me free. A child cries inside of me. This love hurts more like hate... We have buried ourselves in ourselves blind. We no longer hear eachother cry. Understanding has turned to pride. I burn myself for the feelings Ive learned to hide inside. Theres so much more than I can see. Im lost in the thought of everything. I feel alone in jaded times. Does the child inside you cry to fly to be only who we are inside? To fill our hearts with true love for life? To feel real compassion not pride? To set free the love weve learned to hide inside. Still we bathe in blood only to rinse in tears. The sunshines cold. These days are cold and theres stains on my yesterday holes in my now. Tomorrow brings a new day. Tomorrow brings a new hope...

This sky is green this grass is blue. Ill paint this picture and give it all to you. When Im here I feel so free its cold out there. Why cant you believe? Its true so true. My words fall down. Its true I need you. Looking past what I believe. Break this silence it brought me to my knees. Ill break past what Ive been shown. Now I see that Ive finally found a home. Shining star from yesterday fell to the ground faded away. Look to the sky to understand. Ive got my grip but Ive lost my hand. Its true. Take a look inside I can see whats real. Let loose my pride. Open up my world. In this place of peace I can understand. Will you look at me will you take my hand?

This is a song about love. And when we turn our backs we tune it out. Colder and colder we turn it off. If there ever was true love for life its gone. Where has it gone? Life burns inside our hearts but were losing touch. Were losing ground. Traditions of killing passed on and on. Life burns inside our souls but we discriminate to show our hate. So easily we detach ourselves from how other people feel... This is a song about hate. Ripping and tearing down we smash it burn it to the ground. Escalate the greed that fuels our hate. In our struggle for power we generalize if fear of difference we buy their lies. We dont realize the pain we create. Life burns inside our hearts but were losing touch were losing ground. Traditions of killing passed on and on. Life burns inside our souls but we discriminate to show our hate. So easily we detach ourselves from how other people feel...

Cooking Wine Lyrics

Q: Burning Like the Bridges Behind Us

I find myself in our insignificance and Im just afraid I might never understand myself. Something in my mind needs my heart to find something real. To walk some more before Im down... I wont stay down. This struggle has just begun... I see a smiling face through this thick glass wall. Bring my heart down. Through my hands to watch them fall. I swear Ill watch them fall. While the colors fade. And the feelings rage for the need to be loved inside us all. So tell me how your callousness made you strong. And a love measured by the size of the scars. Does the dream of self worth twist you inside? Does the emptiness of this room spin your mind? Relentlessly I strive... falling short. Falling in love. Explode. This is your time. Tear away and scream out. This is your time. Your are not alone. We are not alone.

Sorry I'm late, I was out spoiling my liver I couldn't wait The sun was up for far too long today And I can't see straight But the two of you look awfully pretty And I couldn't wait Been awake for far too long today And is it strong enough to burn away the cooking wine? And I'm just tired enough If ...
