Tremble for My Beloved
The hour has begun
Your eyes have now opened
To a world where madness craves
To a world where hope's enslaved
Oh I'll tremble for my love always
Your windows opened wide
Your innocence takes flight
To a world where madness craves
To a world where hope's enslaved
Oh I'll tremble for your love always
Heavy
Complicate this world you wrapped for me
I'm acquainted with your suffering
And all your weight
It falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight
It falls on me
It falls on me
Hold me up to all whom you've deceived
Promises you break you still believe
And all your weight
It falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight
It brings me down
It brings me down
And all your weight
It falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight
It falls on me
It falls on me
And all your weight
It falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight
It falls on me
It falls on me
No More, No Less
Here I lie motionless
Catch me if you can
My properties of no defense
So, strike at your command
But don't bring me down
All right
Don't bring me down
Cause there's purpose for this night
Save me come tomorrow
Lead me to my urgency
See I'm no more no less
Of an angel than you'd have me be
So, let's shake it like this
Steady here I cast my lines
Only to expose
A weaker sense and
No constraint
Now my true self shows
But don't bring me down
All right
Don't bring me down
Cause there's promise in this night
Save me come tomorrow
Lead me to my urgency
See I'm no more no less
Of an angel than you'd have me be
So, let's shake it like this.
But don't bring me down
All right
Don't bring me down
Cause there's promise in this night
Needs
All around me I see what weakness has made
Too much tomorrow I think I'll take all today
Am I a poison, Am I a thorn in the side
Am I picture perfect subject tonight
I don't need nobody
I don't need the weight of words to find the way
To crash on through
I don't need nobody
I just need to learn the depth or doubt
Of faith to fall into
Here I slumber to awaken my daze
I find convenience in this savior I save
Am I a prison, am I a source of dire news
Am I a picture perfect reason for you
I don't need nobody
I don't need the weight of words to find the way
To crash on through
I don't need nobody
I just need to learn the depth or doubt
Of faith to fall into
In this time of substitute
It's my needs I've answered to (All the while)
And the hope that I invest
Still turns to signals of distress (All the while)
I don't need nobody
I don't need the weight of words to find the way
To crash on through
I don't need nobody
I just need to learn the depth or doubt
Of faith to fall into
You're all I need
Yeah and the water runs deep
You're all I need
Now I cry myself to sleep
(you're all I need)
Slow
Mornings like this
Make me feel like I never could float
Glimpses of peace
Portray all that you never could show
I'm not weakened by the fears
That you have applied
See I'm now learning in these walls
That you have supplied
Slow
Slow down boy
Slow down to control
Slow..slow...
Clothed in new costumes
That weather your newfound storms
Staring through reason
Content with your newfound decor
Chorus
Spoken: "I passed the darkened vaults of late doorways as if I were
a king. Like this, I chain a whisper to my faults."
Dandy Life
Took a walk to a caution scene
Guess I crossed the line somehow
And if I lost some of your hope
I'm sorry for the folly was all mine
And I don't ever really understand
All the things that we say
But I try to anyway anyhow
For what's in a day of a dandy life
For what's in a day of this dandy life
Everything, everything, everything
Hangin' on every word
My social butterfly
Everyone wants to be loved
Loved in their own way
I can say I spent the night
On my telephone inside
When you said that every single
One of us can find a happy face
So why don't you go try
To try anyway
And I suppose I was born yesterday
'Cause I never thought of things
Quite in that way at all and in that way
For what's in a day of a dandy life
For what's in a day of this dandy life
Everything, everything, everything
Hangin' on every word
My social butterfly
Everyone wants to be loved
Loved in their own way
Run
Are these times contagious?
I've never been this bored before,
Is this the prize I've waited for?
Now with the hours passing,
Theres nothing left here to mature,
I long to find a messenger.
Have I got a long way to run ?
Have I got a long way to run ?
Yeah, I run...
Is there a cure among us,
From this processed sanity?
I weaken with each voice that sings.
Now in this world of purchase,
I'm going to buy back memories,
To awaken some old qualities.
Have I got a long way to run?
Have I got a long way to run?
Yeah, (I run...)
Yeah, (I run...)
Have I got a long way?
Have I got a long way?
Have I got a long way to run?
Have I got a long way to run?
Yeah, (I run...)
Have I got a long way to run?
Yeah, (I run...)
Have I got a long way to run?
Yeah, (I run......)
Have I got a long way to run?
Yeah, (I run...)
Have I got a long way to run?
Generate
Hey you give me no choice
I entertain by the silence
That you created by noise
Hey I'm flirting inside
I need the floor opened up
For the scream I'd now love to shout
I can't convey
I can't relate to the thoughts you now
Generate
I can't contain
I can't explain all the words you now
Generate
Hey I swallowed your pride
To gather up confrontation
That you have so long denied
I can't convey
I can't relate to the thoughts you now
Generate
I can't contain
I can't explain all the words you now
Generate
Compliment
Now I've taken the side
Of a beautiful calm
Can you see this disguise
Fading to a resolve
And there it goes my innocence
while gathering up a compliment
And here I lie with words to swear
There's something more than
The world out there
Hesitation compounds
I've nothing left to sustain
My worries here have allowed
A momentary refrain
And there it goes my innocence
while gathering up a compliment
And here I lie with words to swear
There's something more
Than the world out there
x2
And there it goes my innocence
I'm dying here for a compliment
And here i lie with words to swear
there's something more
than the world out there
Not the One
I waltzed around you
Seven times
Only to become
A melody you never sang
I'm not the one
Oh, oh, oh I'm not the one
Oh, oh, oh I'm not the one
Clouds of thought you
Filter through
Never to reason
While patiently your world
Still bleeds
Who shall be the one?
Oh, oh, oh I'm not the one
Oh, oh, oh I'm not the one
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I waltzed around you
Seven times
Only to become
A melody you never sang
I'm not the one
Oh, oh, oh I'm not the one
Oh, oh, oh I'm not the one
Oh, oh, oh I'm not the one
Oh, oh, oh I'm not the one
Not the one
Not the one
Crown
Who's gonna be my savior
Now that I've learned to believe
Who's gonna be the answer
To all of my questioning
Well I hope I'm not lost
But I think that hope is now distancing
And the words that secure a thought
Are now faint whisperings
Who's gonna wear my crown
I don't know I just might alone
Who's gonna wear my crown
I don't know I've just got to go my way
Who's gonna be my partner
Now that I stand here alone
Who's gonna be the shepherd
To lead this poor boy back home
Well I hope I'm not lost
But I think that hope is now distancing
And the words that secure a thought
Are now faint whisperings
Who's gonna wear my crown
I don't know I just might alone
Who's gonna wear my crown
I don't know I've just got to go my way
