Standing on the edge of life looking over everythingThe people around me the voices in my head begin to singAnd I fall into the heavens waiting for the hand of God to catch meStarting over just to reach the endLet me go let me goCan you see the revolution in my eyes?Can you see the crowd thats building and its filling up inside?Cant you see I used to be alive?Living a life so dry that I cant even cryStinging teardrops in the heavens waiting for the hand of God to catch meThe angles in my life wont let me inStarting over just to reach the endLet me go let me goFalling into piecesFalling into ashes on the groundFalling into nothingFalling but when you pick me up dont kick me back down

Lost and alone I search to find myselfBroken and torn in two I can turn to no one elseBut then I hear you I see you inside my headCome to me my savior and dance with me to the music in my headSpinning around and around dancing to the music in my headWandering in the darkness I search to find my lightEvil surrounds me in the darkness of the nightBut then I hear you calling my nameYoure calling from far awayCome to me my savior and dance with me to the music in my headSpinning around and around dancing to the music in my...Head wont you kill this pain?Help me to find my lightCome with me to my castle where I feel safePlease...

There you sit throwing diamonds in the wishing wellCasting stones upon the lakeWanting freedom freedom from yourselfBut you know that you just wont leave you aloneLooking out the window of the boardroomWhere you buy your fortunes and sell your soulsPeering down to the streets belowForty stories to a story not yet toldSo fly away from the buildingFly away into softer surroundingsFly away from the feeling that youre aloneYou pass the bridges in your fancy carsThey wander the streets alone in the cold in the darkDont want the life theyve lived so farMidnight whiskey and the cold are their homesSo fly away from the buildingFly away and find a place where you can restFly away from the feelingsFly awayCould I climb a bridge so tallWhen the October wind blows?What would happen if I should happen to fall?Would anybody care? Would anybody even know?So I fly away from the buildingFly away and I fall into the hands of the angelsFly away from the feelingsFly away

She lays her suitcase on the bedI sit and watch from the floor beneath the windowI try to speak but nothings saidI guess there are no words no way to tell her what I want to sayHere inside her bedroomHere inside a place I thought was safe and warmHere inside the comfort of her own world I realizeShes already goneShe brushes the hair from her eyesAnd I see a single teardrop stream down the side of her faceAnd as hard as I tryI cant find the words to tell her what I need to sayHere inside her bedroomHere inside a place I thought was safe and warmHere inside her own world I realizeIt always comes down to thisIt always comes down to me never knowing how to say goodbyeIt always comes down to holding back a flood of tearsAs it echoes in my mindHow will she leave this time?The telephone rings its her rideAnd I overhear him tell her to hurry cause hes double-parked outsideShe tells me she doesnt really know what to saySo she kisses me goodbye and then turns and walks awayAnd leaves me inside her bedroomHere inside a place I thought was safe and warmHere inside her own world I realizeIt always comes down to thisIt always comes down to me never knowing how to say goodbyeIt always comes down to holding back a flood of tearsAs it echoes in my mindHow will she leave this time?How will she leave this time?

All the worlds a stage and the people are just playersLiving life within a maze searching for the pot of goldChasing shooting stars to find out theyre just firefliesOr the blinkers of the cars in the traffic jam we sit lost and coldSavoring whats left why a knife instead of spoon?What remains are just bereft sitting lonely in the jarWanting freedom seeking life but never taking off the shacklesPressed between the bars and glass only hoping for a breath soRest your headCause the days keep getting longer and the nights just fade awayKneel by your bedAnd keep your faith in God and just hopeThat you dont slip into the darknessShes got an angels face but with a demon trappedInside this holy place sitting in a darkened roomHes innocent and young but afraid ofEverything he might become all the prophesies are true soRest your headCause the days keep getting longer and the nights just fade awayKneel by your bedAnd keep your faith in God and just hopeThat you dont slip into the darknessIts all a struggle in the end that we fight to liveBut do we live to fight? And what is it to you?To leave me helpless in the dark dont try to comfort meBecause I know that comfort lies in what is never true soRest your headCause the days keep getting longer and the nights just fade awayKneel by your bedAnd keep your faith in God and justRest your headCause the days keep getting longer and the nights just fade awayKneel by your bedAnd keep your faith in God and just hopeThat you dont slip into the darkness

Sometimes I feel just like the whole worlds out there spinning me aroundWaiting for the day when Im too dizzy or too drunk to standAnd when they find me lying on the floor spinning in my own headWill there be someone to lend a helping hand?And every day I come to you asking your forgivenessAnd promising Ill never disappoint you againBut at night the voices call me and when I feel itWhen I feel it coming inAnd the light hits my eyesBlinding blinding meAnd the hands reach outFinding finding me there againSometimes I feel just like theres no one there to listen to my wordsEven though I always seem to have something more to sayAnd when they find me sitting all alone talking to myselfthey wonder why I havent been locked awayAnd everyday I feel the weight of this world coming downAlmost like Atlas holding up the whole world just to make amendsBut at night the voices call me and I answerAnd when they fall me and I land on themThey pick me up to try againAnd the light hits my eyesBlinding blinding meAnd the hands reach outFinding finding me there againYeah I keep spinning inside of meYeah and Im giving it back to youYeah to find my identityYeah wont you let me be?And the light hits my eyesBlinding blinding meAnd the hands reach outFinding finding me there again

I lay awake at night and wonder what Im here forAm I to stumble through life or is there something more?And when light falls down again on eyes that have seen better daysI think that its time time to change my waysIts time to changeBut time is only here to changeOur bodies growing weaker our faces growing deeperWe rearrange the thing in life we cannot changeWe must remain the same we must remain the sameWe walk the streets our parents built and follow the fading tracksEyes focused on our feet but were never really looking backWe try so hard to get there that we forget to look aroundAfraid to follow in the footsteps of the ones that have fallen downIts time to changeBut time is only here to changeOur bodies growing weaker our faces growing deeperWe rearrange the thing in life we cannot changeWe must remain the same we must remain the sameIs it fate that determines which way my path will go?Is there some way I could know? Do I really wanna know?If I could see my future tell me what would I see?Will I become my idols or just an older version of me?Its time to changeBut time is only here to changeOur bodies growing weaker our faces growing deeperWe rearrange the thing in life we cannot changeWe must remain the same we must remain the sameIts time to changeBut time is only here to changeWe rearrange the thing in life we cannot changeWe must remain the same we must remain the same

I met a girl in a bar in Virginia writing poetryMaking art from all the things that she seesShe said she never went to college and didnt think shed make it bigTouring around the country on a string of coffeehouse gigsShe said its a hard roadLiving by your own rulesBut aint it coolTo do what you want to do?My uncle Tyler worked on Wall Street for a large accounting firmBut he got tired of living life on someone elses termsNow he owns his own restaurant lives in the suburbs walks his kids to schoolAnd he sees his wife a lotHe said its a hard roadLiving by your own rulesBut aint it coolTo do what you want to do?Not cut out to be a doctor or a lawyer Ill just play guitarAnd sing for my supper in a small town barIll always wonder if Id walked the beaten path what I could have beenBut for right now you know I wouldnt change a thingCause its a hard roadLiving by your own rulesBut aint it coolTo do what you wanna do now?I said its a hard roadLiving by your own rulesBut aint it coolTo do what you want to do?

Nobody lives here anymoreSince the city came and boarded up the doorAnd left that boy out in the coldBut if you were able to take a look insideYoud see a tragedy that the whole town tried to hideBlacked out the windows and put the place under lock and keyUnder lock and keyIf you asked the townsfolk no one seems to knowIts more like a legend but so the story goesA couple moved in here just a few years agoThe father was a writer and a drinker on the sideAnd on more than one occasion the mother had to hideThe bruises and abrasions that he left the night beforeThis old house is broken downThe foundation crumbles in the palm of my handBuild it up just to burn it to the groundAnd its swept away under a sea of stoneThen one night it happened with a bottle in his handSomething snapped inside him and he went for her againBut this time would be different this time their little boy was homeTwelve years full of violence and confusion in his headHe reaches for the pistol that he hid under his bedAnd swore to himself that this would be the last timeThis old house is broken downThe foundation crumbles in the palm of my handBuild it up just to burn it to the groundAnd its swept awayNow the walls look old and worn the mirror-glass is broken and the draperies tornAnd theres splinters in the carpet from where the shots came through the floorBroken bottles and spent casings on the groundPeppered holes in the walls and stains running downAlmost like the house itself was bleedingThis old house is broken downThe foundation crumbles in the palm of my handBuild it up just to burn it to the groundAnd its swept away yeahBuild it up just to burn it downBuild it up just to burn it downBuild it up just to burn it down and its swept away

Come and see what youve left of meCome and see what youve doneYou melt me down and drink the rest of meGather round everyoneOh everyoneCause Im evaporatingI get this feeling inside that Im losing myself day by dayAnd all this waitingFor someone to come leaves me feeling like Im watered downEvaporatingCome and see the mess youve made of meCome and see before Im goneYou light the fire much too close to meBut dont let it burn for too longCause Im evaporatingI get this feeling inside that Im losing myself day by dayAnd all this waitingFor someone to come leaves me feeling like Im watered downEvaporatingAnd all this time that I give to youAnd all this time that I give to youCause Im evaporatingI get this feeling inside that Im losing myself day by dayAnd all this waitingFor someone to come leaves me feeling like ImLeaves me feeling like Im leavingDay by day
