I was so tired of waiting for fate in vain.
Failed attempt after failed attempt to find the one
I know you're somewhere out there waiting for me
Just when I’d given up you suddenly appear
I remember the night I saw you standing in the rain
You know you made me wanna love
You're the kind of person who knows exactly how I feel
You know you made me wanna love
My life just didn't turn out the way I had meant to
Brightly smiling through the raindrops waiting for me
I remember the night I saw you standing in the rain
You know you made me wanna love
You're the kind of person who knows exactly how I feel
You know you made me wanna love
I would steal for you
Make the rain fall down for you
I would bleed for you
Do anything to be with you
You know you made me wanna love you.

All hail to the superiority of your skin
Blame goes to the inferiority of their skin
Lay to rest their liberties
Lie to us, divide us racially
I won't let go
Without putting up a fight
You won't crush my soul
I'll die before I ever you let you think you were right
Amazing hypocritical dependency
Upon the sunburned backs of those
We need so desperately
The words at her feet
The torch shines a light
But hate is all they will find
I won't let go
I won't let go
Without putting up a fight
You won't crush my soul
I'll die before I ever you let you think you were right

Seduce me, watch me fall I'll cave in every time
You know me well, I can't resist the way you move
Please step away before we both do something we'll regret
Temptation keeps calling my name
I've tried so hard to refrain
I pray so hard - but not hard enough, I guess.
I can't stop from touching your face
I swear I never thought I would be so weak.
I will fall down on my knees
Fighting against the demons within my head
A sinner in every sense of the word
A charlatan inside the house of God
I pray so hard - but not hard enough, I guess.
I can't stop from touching your face
I swear I never thought I would be so weak.
I breathe deep and close my eyes Clinch my fist with frustrated screams
I know it's wrong to look at you with lust filled eyes
But I can't stop the way I feel - this audacious desire
Skin on skin as you're calling my name
When you talk like that it's so hard to refrain
Oh my God please tell me what have I done?
Oh dear lord I've let you down once again
So much hope only to fail miserably
I accept salvation but does it accept me?

Sun dried face with wrinkled eyes and matted hair
Cardboard signs hide desperate looks and broken dreams
Heaven knows that harder times are still to come
Say a prayer and sleep with one eye open
I am far too good for you to bother me…it's not my fault
Why can't you be born privileged, just like me? ...so obvious.
The voices in your head screaming so loud that you can hardly think
My sympathy dwindling until I can't feel anything anymore
My heart breaks for you to see you like this, bound to the street
Hunger beckons you to beg another day
I walk right by, tell you a lie, and pretend to care
Heaven knows that harder times still to come
I could make a difference if I wanted to
I am far too good for you to bother me…it's not my fault
Why can't you be born privileged, just like me? ...so obvious.

Once More

Standing in the hallway
Underneath the flashing light
Waiting for the fear to cease
Let my angel come
As I speak another hollow prayer
It’s the only way to fly
Just one more for the trip home
I’m trying to stop the demons within
I would quit tomorrow if only I could
Just one more to get me by
I need him here to fill me up
He’s like a brother figure to me
Handing out blessings from his pocket but it’s an illness in disguise
It’s the only way to die
Just one more for the trip home
I’m trying to stop the demons within
I would quit tomorrow if only I could
Just one more to get me by
I know I’m incapacitated
But it’s the only way I feel alive
Eating away the life beneath my skin
Slip away…embrace the dawn
Just one more for the trip home
I’m trying to stop the demons within
I would quit tomorrow if only I could
Just one more to get me by

City of statues, bathed in your lies
The minstrels are waiting to pull you in line
Wear your mask and dig your teeth in
Red and blue sucking the life out of us
I don't know who to believe in anymore
Divided house breakining apart before our eyes
We know we've gotta break down these privileged walls
I refuse to let it burn down while Nero smiles and waits
I see you watching Rome burn from your tower
The view must be nice from up there
Bow to your goddess of green and gold
While the fire's burning red beneath your feet
Taunt us with your empty promises
Fake smiles keep us subjugated
Wear your mask and dig your teeth in
Red and blue sucking the life out of us

I think I’m ripping at the seams
Paranoia inside
I fear the walls will shred my skin to dust
I hear them laughing in the dark
I can’t contain my rage
Hallucinations will rip my mind apart
Conspiracy, held against my will
Illusions seem to be just so damned real
Get out of my head, I trust no one
Everyone one of you are vicious liars
Bleeding eyes are wide
Watching my every move
Smiling faces are masks on everyone.
Try to cure the disease, the voices in my head
Never felt so weak, I never felt so small
They’ve got ears on the street and eyes in the sky
Volunteer slaves that live in denial
Conspiracy, held against my will
Illusions seem to be just so damned real
Conspiracy, held against my will
Illusions seem to be just so damned real

Wise beyond your years, you always knew just what to say
Eloquent and kind, carried my cross without a pause
My debt to you is something I can't repay
No matter where you go I’ll be right by your side
If I fail, if I fall, you'll always love me despite
No matter where you go I’ll be right by your side
If I fail, if I fall, you'll always love me despite
Please don't walk away from here 'cause I can't bear to see you go
But if you stay we both know your life won't be where it should be
You left me here before and now you're leaving me again
This time isn't that bad; with waves of comforting sadness
When I crawled you were there to help me every day
When I walked you were there for every step of the way
Please don't walk away from here 'cause I can't bear to see you go
But if you stay we both know your life won't be where it should be
I know i should not weep for the things i cannot change
And the cuts have healed but the scars won't fade
Though it hurts, I must be strong, a divine plan is at work
Darker days have gone by, you told me time and again
But you won't fade, you won't fade, you won't fade from memory
And I scream at the top of my lungs...for you!
