YOU'RE NOT HERE

Blue sky to forever,
The green grass blows in the wind, dancing
It would be much better a sight with you, with me,
If you hadn't met me, I'd be fine on my own, baby,
I never felt so lonely, then you came along,

So now what should I do, I'm strung out, addicted to you,
My body it aches, now that you're gone,
My supply fell through

You gladly gave me everything you had and more,
You craved my happiness,
When you make me feel joy it makes you smile,
But now I feel your stress,
Love was never meant to be such a crazy affair, no
And who has time for tears,
Never thought I'd sit around and cry for your love,
'till now.


LETTER - FROM THE LOST DAYS

A letter to my future self...
Am I still happy yet again?
Have I grown up pretty?
Is Daddy still a good man?
Am I still friends with Carlene?
I'm sure that I'm still laughing.
Aren't I? Aren't I?

Hey there to my future self,
If you forget how to smile,
I have this to tell you,
remember it once in a while.

Ten years ago your past self
Prayed for your happiness.
Please, don't lose hope.

Oh, what a pair, me and you
put here to feel joy, nothing blue.
Sad times and bad times, see them through.
Soon we will know if it's for real
what we both feel.

Spoken:
Though I can't know for sure
how things worked out for us,
no matter how hard it gets,
you have to realize:
we weren't put on this earth
to suffer and cry.
We were made for being happy.
So be happy. For me. For you.
Please.

Oh what a pair, me and you.
Put here to feel joy, nothing blue.
Sad times and bad times, see them through.
Soon we will know if it's for real
what we both feel.

We were put here on this earth, put here to feel joy... [x4]


I WANT LOVE

I want a cup that overflows with love
although it’s not enough to fill my heart.
I want barrel full of love
although I know it’s not enough to fill my heart.
I want a river full of love
but then I know the holes will still remain.
I need an ocean full of love
although I know the holes will still remain.

And the Swiss cheese heart knows,
all the kindness can fill its holes.
And love will dry my tears, as pain disappears, yeah.
I need a miracle and not someone’s charity
One drop of love from him and my heart’s in ecstasy

The heart that he’s sending me is most likely ending me
I need a miracle and not someone’s charity now.
Fill up my heart with love, oh you’d be amazed at how,
Little I need from him to feel complete here and now,

Stirring within me are these feelings I can’t ignore,
I need a miracle and that’s what I’m hoping for.
I need a miracle and not someone’s charity,
One drop of love from him and my heart’s in ecstasy,

The heart that he’s sending me is most likely ending me,
I need a miracle and not someone’s charity now.
Anybody’s love but his, will never fill this place within me now
You’ve got to give me what I need to free my heart from misery.


HOMETOWN

He spoke of tortured souls,
so outrageous the toll,
You can lose all you have.
He refused to give in
to the town that takes all

Survive, you must have the will.
This movie doesn't end the way we want all the time

Then he shouts at the moon,
"She's gone" and fear has overcome.

He was walking the mile,
he was walking alone...

So outrageous the toll,
You can lose all you have.
He refused to give in
to the town that takes all

Survive, you must have the will.
This movie doesn't end the way we want all the time

Then he shouts at the moon,
"She's gone" and fear has overcome.

He was walking the mile,
he was walking alone...

Four and twenty dead birds,
they bleed upon the nest.

There was no time for reasons,
they had no sign of a threat.

Now it’s too late, too late for me
this town will eventually take me.

Too late, too late for me
This town will win.

Narration:
Through this fog they came,
dark creatures, singing their terrible song.
The rest of the bar laughed at him,
only I felt movement when he did.
They found him dead the very next day.
No more stories from him,
I heard them say.
We blamed bad luck for his fate.
Only I felt terror, so great...

She and he will know,
that someday all things will end

That misty night, that dismal moon
the dead, search for their kin.

While angels sleep in endless dark,

the dead seek out sin...
