Life is melting like a snowflake
While I wait for it to begin
Ghosts are thieving all my memories…although
There was never one day, you didn’t cross my mind
Not a bolt out of the blue, not ever one day
Days fall by just like a slideshow
& lies are dancing in the truth….although
There was never one day, you didn’t cross my mind
Inside my days, though many, still so few
Not ever one day & it turned me inside out
You never knew this was the truth
Not ever one day, never one day
& now I’m dreaming like a child…..
There was never one day
& it turns me inside out; you never knew this was the truth
Not ever one day, never one day
Always running around,
Trying to find certainty

We believe in you
Always believed in everything you do….
There’s no denying anymore.
Will you meet me halfway?
Can you see I’m halfway there?
You pass me in the hallway
Like the man who isn’t there
We believe in the truth
Always believed in everything we see
There’s just no fighting this anymore.
Will you meet me halfway?
Can you see I’m halfway there?
You pass me on the stairway
Like someone haunted in the dark.
Will you meet me halfway?
Can you see I’m halfway there?
Will you meet me halfway?
Can you see I’m halfway there?
Will you meet me halfway?
Can you see I’m halfway there?

Time is passing by for ordinary men,
It’s no lie, no illusion, no sleight of hand
Nothing up the sleeve!
Consequently I believe, that God’s police are damned
& from where I stand, it’s all illusion!
The sleight of hand will slowly be revealed
Slowly be revealed!

Trust is such a fickle thing,
There’s a change in the weather.
It will toss your boat this way and that, not always for the better.
Then you give it up for the devil, at the drop of a feather.
Because love’s a many splendid thing, you’ve heard it said,
And so….
Here we are alone again a quiet room, the two of us
You and I kneel before the guillotine, and now the head is gone,
the heart is slipping away….
Fear will only cripple you if you let it.
It hides behind you in your shadow and you aid and abet it.
And you listen up to the devil, every word that he speaks, yes you do.
Because love’s a many splendid thing, you’ve all heard this over and over again, and so…
Here we are, alone again
A quiet room - just the two of us
You and I kneel before the guillotine, and when the head is gone, the heart is slipping away..
slipping away..
oh, the liberty of hope……
the liberty of hope……
the liberty….

The eleventh hour
03:50
|

I only spoke your name, well maybe once…in a dream
& I never will again, as long as I breathe.
You know, that we both will meet again, in the end
We all know that nothing happens, until the eleventh hour around here!
You appear to be just holding on…
Great is the lie that we all tell ourselves, over & over…
Tears fall like diamonds at my feet, at least I still feel.
We all know that nothing matters, until the eleventh hour
‘Close your eyes’…
Here we are standing in the rain, standing in the rain again…
For the umpteenth time
Standing in the rain again,
In the rain,
In this ungodly hour….
‘Close your eyes’….

It’s raining on my life
I wind the window down
The sun comes out again & dries up all the rain….
I wind the window down
It’s raining on my face
The wind blows through my life & dries up all the rain….
I wind the window down
I leave the window down
Leave the window down,
leave the window down…..

This love is quicksand
And I’m sinking slowly
Give me your hand now,
gonna take you with me
We never could have known,
The weakness of this structure..
No map no star, to guide me
And I cry knowing you’re not listening.
We never could have known
The limit of this structure
And it makes me wonder……
What did I ever do?
And all I know now
Is that it left me…Black and blue
I’ve seen your eyes light up like fire
We never could have known the weakness of this structure
And now we’ll never know, just where the bones will be discovered
And it makes me wonder
What did I ever do?
And all I know now is that it left me, black and blue…..
Black and blue

The photographs are lying, can’t you see we're smiling
The happiness is obvious; you can see this for yourself
& like a handful of autumn leaves, I threw my unbelief away…
& now I’m so afraid, everybody waits for nothing.
Everyone waits, all for nothing.
Remember back that summers day, the ocean washed our fears away
& sand went in my mouth again; you laughed & took me by the hand…
& like a handful of autumn leaves, I threw my unbelief away…
& now I’m so afraid, everybody waits for nothing.
Everyone waits, all for nothing.
Everyone waits, all for nothing.
& like a handful of autumn leaves, I threw my unbelief away…
& now I’m so afraid, everybody waits for nothing.
Everyone waits, all for nothing.
Everyone
Everyone waits now…
for nothing.
