'Rape, molestation, emotional incest, gas-lighting, starvation, abuse, neglect, suicide attempt, murder attempt, drugging, experiments, lies, manipulation, this kid didn't die of a broken heart - Mu died of a blow out. I'm sorry you didn't find safety. I'm sorry stone doesn't bend.'
Did you think I'd give up?
That this may have shook the love from me?
Hold on, slow down, again from the top now and tell me everything
I know I've been gone for what seems like forever but I'm here now waiting
To convince you that I'm not a ghost or a stranger but closer than you think
He says, "Just go on to what you pretend is your life but please don't die on me."
Heaven Knows I was just A Young Boy
Didn't Know What i Wanted to Be
I got Stuck In the Ice Without My Clothes
Naked as the Eyes Of A Clown
It Was Cold Outside When I hit the Ground
Said, I Could Sleep Here, Forget All the Fear
But Still My Heart Is Heavy
With The Hate Of Some Other Man's Beliefs
C'mon miracle aligner
Go and get 'em Tiger
Don't wait for
your knight in shining armor
your savior's
reflected in the mirror
These flowers
Have grown from blood stains on the ground
Some Days are diamonds
Some days are rocks
Some doors are open
Some roads are blocked
Everything we've said and done Can be so easily forgotten
You can always change who you are
The sun's in your eye
The heat is in your hair
They seem to hate you
Because you're there
And all around your island
there's a barricade
its keeps out the danger
it holds in the pain
I have a secret to tell
From my electrical well
it's a simple message
and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells
We're setting the fires to light the way
We're burning it all to begin again
With hope in our hearts and bricks in our hands
We sing for change
But if you're too scared to dance,
don't worry, just relax
Following the beat can be hell
Existential thoughts assail you
At least now you got a margarita
You see, the devil haunts a hungry man
If you don't wanna join him, you gotta beat him
I ain't sayin' I beat the devil, but I drank his beer for nothing
Then I stole his song
I was born a lonely singer and I'm bound to die the same
But I've gotta feed the hunger in my soul
And if I never have a nickel, I won't ever die ashamed
'Cause I don't believe that no one wants to know
Have you ever been afraid
And felt society try to keep you down?
I begin to watch things change
and see them turn around
Now in the white flames of burning flags we
Found a world worth dying for
I got a few friends I'll love til I die
From all of these people I try to learn
Some of them shine some of them burn
Some of them rise some of them fall
For good or bad I've known them all
So write the song you need to hear
Write them on the palm of your hand
When the world is drowned in flames
Write something you can understand
WE LIVE OUR LIFE IN OUR OWN WAY
NEVER REALLY LISTENED TO WHAT THEY SAY
THE KIND OF FAITH THAT DOESN'T FADE AWAY
WE ARE THE TRUE BELIEVERS
There's a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And it's all right
Baby it's all right
Burning Bright - a fire that blows a signal to the sky
I sit and wonder, does the message get to you?
