Sing sweet and low your lullaby
Till angels say, "Amen"
A mother tonight
Is rocking a cradle in Bethlehem
"A little child shall lead them", the prophets said of old
In storm and tempest keep them until the bell is tolled
"A little child shall lead them", the prophets said of old
Until the bell is tolled
Oh, wise men follow through the dark
A star that beckons them
A mother tonight
Is rocking a...
Many Men have battled,
Many more will fall,
Underneath the shadows,
Our trust has fed them all,
In the heart of every city,
At the front of every war,
Support the great committee,
Because we're all done for
Stand up or you will fall
Spiral down till you hit the ground,
for this condition, we sing out loud
We love to point our fingers,
We talk so much of change,
But do we have the answers,
To e...
This piece of pride,
holding you down
The knives are drawn,
stabbing at the pieces
The strings that held me,
choking off the air
That I cant breathe,
these hands around my neck
I warned you,
To feel what I do now.
This hope that surrounds us,
Keeps us safe tonight.
I warned you,
To feel what I do now.
This hope that surrounds us,
Keeps us safe tonight.
screaming...
You walk into a room.
Confusion plays a solemn tune.
The Poet steals a thought.
His hands are red, the sinner caught.
Cyclical and round.
The hollow walls repeat the sound of someone falling down.
Someone falling down who looks like me.
Fingers sharp like knives, knives that thrust to kill.
Put it all away. Your heart has atrophied.
Someone falling down who looks like me
Fingers sharp like kni...
i feel, like the one who can't break up
am i unwelcome, should i leave with all my doubt
i know, these feelings always pass
but tonight i'm all alone, should i just ask
i can't sleep with these objects closing in
i'm short of breath
i'm tired, i'm tired of running
even my dreams, they seem to take effect
i'm losing it
i'm losing it
you say, you'll lighten up my load
my back is broken,

Guilty and degraded. We've bastardized ourselves and lost our purity.
Guilty and degraded. We've bastardized ourselves and lost our purity.
Right now you find the words to right your wrongs
Right now you find the words to right your wrongs
Objectify the one thing that I wanted more than you
And I look into your eyes
Sitting here as you walk through the door
The s** that I see
It binds my heart...
The summer storm brings the breaking news from the west horizon their words are cold,
THEIR EMPTY PROMISES WON'T HEAL OR FEED US NOW WE'RE LOSING HOPE,
Don't even think we'll make it through this brand new year we've got the scars,
we've got the bars erected all around us ....
COLD ARE, THE HANDS .... OF THE BLESSED AMERICANS [x2]
KEEP ON LOOKING ,YOU CAN'T QUITE FEEL THEM

Life has taken this road
And our lives are joines in the fight
We have heard the choir laughing
Their words are meaningless
We will always have each other
They truly think they always know
We will always be together
They will always be alone
Our dreams they bleed
But the wounds are real
Real inside
Our dreams they bleed
But the wounds will heal
Move without the need to
Try and justify our reas...
she fell from grace
since her tragedy came true
since then she's been running
not knowing what to do
you fall away from me
you're always falling away
from the one you want to be
and the ones you love
december was a long year
still running from your pain
facades and walls, they find me
and i never felt the same
i'm riddled in these board games
but i'm bored with the game
you fall away from me

A premature disclosure
And it??? filling up this meeting that we???e had
These broken phrases catch me with my guard down
With my guard down
I left myself wide open
I left myself for you
I left myself wide open
I left myself
I took a dive for your deep end
Thinking everything??? just fine
I broke my heart on your shallow side, and i?
Your shallow side
I left myself wide open
I left myself for ...
Gone and disapearing on this cold night
I never thought it'd be that way
Your crying eyes they form the question
Formed by the words that we have shared
Uncovered signs now change the times
Perplexing incongruent lies
Unparalled, impossible, complacent amiable souls
God, I wanna see you on the inside
But it's not feeling like that way
I wanna see you on the inside
But it's not feeling like tha...
body on the floor
floating up in silence
peace that passed me by

your face was glowing
your gone
the saint said pass me by
your gone
angels crashing down
falling all around me
broken wings lay low
surrounded...
i dont want to see this
i dont want to feel this way
your face was glowing

Missing you, my brother. Spaced out miles between us.
I remember when we sat on the shore.
We talked about my great white north.
I'll see you soon and we will laugh we will laugh out loud
At how far we have come we will spin the wheel of time around
My alcoholic afternoons and sleepless prozac nights.
Clouds of smoke around us.
I miss you and your Lancaster ways.
I'll see you soon and we will ...
I try to reach your outstretched hand. Oh why do I?
I try. I fail you.
I try to reach your outstretched hand. Oh why do I?
I try. I fail you.
Strike a match, for I deserve to burn
Light a match, for I deserve to burn
Light a match, for I deserve to burn
Light a match, for I deserve to burn
burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn.
I try to reach your outstretched hand. Oh why do I?
I try. I fa...
The years have gone by fast,
oh how we have grown
The times weren't always easy,
but hearts and minds revive
Now thoughts of you consume me,
and I wanted you to know
You're the brightest shining star I've ever seen
Oh how blessed we are,
to share in everything
Life before was cold, cold and empty
Everytime I see your face, I'm reminded of
What it means to be alive.
The miles will pull apart,
a...
The current state of things leaves my feet numb.
How much longer must we walk.
Through endless snow.
My vision gets blurred.
Until this whiteout blinds me.
But I, I will walk by faith.
These dark clouds remain from ages past.
A fire burns within. My only warmth.
I can see my breath uttering words of hope.
Glimpses of the sun penetrate in me.
This winter, this winter, this winter
This winter wi...
These tired eyes
this tired heart
let's settle for the moment
we'll just give up
we'll just play dead
we'll drown ourselves in quiet
so kiss my cheek
and we'll pretend
that this is so much better
[Chorus]
Please stop us I confess
We are liars, we are broken,
we are lying in this bed of shame
please stop me I confess
I'm a liar, I am broken,
I'm so utterly confused
The ceilings stare
this waste...
I never said I'd prove it, I only said I'd show it
I gave you my all, but you wanted more
Lost on the inside, filling up the score.
I remember playing that one. It's stuck in my head.
Over and Over. I took and you bled.
I never said I'd prove it, I only said I'd show it
I gave you my all, but you wanted more
Lost on the inside, filling up the score.
I am impatient. Misunderstood.
What ever it ...
Wait awhile for me. Because I am just not ready.
I beg to see your face.
But all I see and all I hear is nothing. Nothing.
Where did you go? Far away?
'Cause I can't see your face here.
Where did you go? Far away?
I have been here
Where did you go? Far away?
'Cause I can't see your face here.
Where did you go? Far away?
'Cause I can't see your face here.
Halle, Halle, Hallelujah.

How can you call me your friend?
How can you call me your friend?
You run me around in circles. But your words slide off.
You lie, so I won't try to fight you.
These words they choke me. They resonate in my heart.
My soul won't let me sleep.
How can you call me your friend?
How can you call me your friend?
You bleed me dry with slander. But your words slide off.
The grace that I have found wit...
Oceans crash the sands. Another time.
Take a backwards glance
But where must we, where must we stand?
The stavesail meant to last. But were we here? Were we here?
My life is not my own. It was bought for me.
Oceans crash the sands. Another time.
Take a backwards glance
But where must we, where must we stand?
The stavesail meant to last.
But were we here? Were we here?
Close your eyes, step off the bus its time.
Don't hesitate don't fear,
Our paths all lead to here.
You won't need a thing, just who you are
You've got a long long way its far.
The road before, was just the start
The road ahead, lies in your heart.
The light will call you,
To wrap its arms around you.
The light will find you,
and wrap its arms around you.
Now I've arrived, step off this ride to...
Its is said that time would heal our every wound
But the healing comes from knowing
Knowing you're at peace
It's not from the hands on a clock on a wall
That move a little slower since you left us on that
Time stands soo still
In the wake of your passing
Soon I'll see you
With a choice of what
Life has moved along and know that you're at peace
But the thoughts of your remain
And I know that yo...
Sometimes time brings us down
Washes us with guilt and questions
We'll stand tall, and in the end
We will win
We will fight forever this time
Until they die or they're wash away 2X
Words will try, to break us down
Cloud our minds, with waves of regret
Storms will come, but in the end
We will win
We will fall forever this time
Until they die or they're wash away 2X
We will win
We will not move
...
Buildings burn, people die.. but real love is forever
she enters the room so calm and compulse
she's got one thing on her mind
as she makes her approach
and her lipstick, it glistens like the moonlight
and one kiss will bring you to your knees tonight
chorus
hello, i know you're wasting your time
hello, i know she's tearing out your spine
and if this keeps up you know she'll destroy your mind
...
We lit the match, dropped it and waited
Just to see how beautiful,
and painful it could be
It's funny how clear,
your eyes get from crying
It's funny how clean, your life gets from dying.
You know your sleeves are long,
waiting on an answer
all we want is shelter
from the times that bring us down.
You know your sleeves are long,
waiting on an answer
just to be protected
from the doubt thats in...
Walking by your house,
and reeking of the drinks I've had
My life is just a waste, a blinded waste
and I'm wide awake
my eyes have met with yours
depressions gone away
I won't walk away from you
like the prodigal I've been
I'll never run away from you
'cause I've seen the other side
I'm never going back again
back again right now
with my eyes, my eyes wide open
my eyes, my eyes wide open
I wal...
Get me through, through tonight
Just a taste, let it be sleepless nights
You and me, eyes are wide
Out of line, I'm alive
Right now , we'll get through this
We always do, try to drive
All the doubt, from my mind
Sit here and suck it up
And leave the day behind
I'm nothing but tired
I'm nothing at all
I'm nothing but broken
I'm ready to fall
Comfort and confidence
I am bound
Ihis is the only th...
