There are times you ride the peaks
While you're headed into the valleys
When the tide leaves the beach
It reveals the obscene

So be careful what you wish
When its your time to shine
All the energy you put out
May come back misaligned

And be careful what you say
When you ask for a helping hand
You never know if when you pray
Things will go as you planned

I may never know
How I keep myself together
But after all it doesn't matter
Just as long as it doesn't matter

So be careful what you wish
When its your time to shine
All the energy you put out
May come back misaligned

And be careful what you say
When you ask for a helping hand
You never know if when you pray
Things will go as you planned

I may never know
How I keep myself together
But after all it doesn't matter
Just as long as it doesn't matter

Its just a simple way
To know you may be out of phase
And ever since the crucible
It's all been a giant maze

So next time you have a want
That never seems to manifest
Do what you know you do best
And sabotage your own font

And from the depths I come alive

If I could get out of my way someday
This could be my new beginning
If I could learn to stand on my own
I won't rely on the hand of an angel

From what I see, there's endless potential
For all the people to live and be free
The very moment we're told to behave
Sets the corner stone for tyranny

And from the depths I come alive

If I could get out of my way someday
This could be my new beginning
If I could learn to stand on my own
I won't rely on the hand of an angel

I wanna hold on to what I know
While there's still comfort to take
I'm still afraid of letting go
But I know its the choice to make

I've never felt how it could be worse
Its gonna hit me where it hurts
I've got a pulse left beating hard
The still life image on a burned post card

So many memories lost to the ether
A gaping hole, otherwise full
I only hope that one day
I learn the penance of control

I've never felt how it could be worse
Its gonna hit me where it hurts
I've got a pulse left beating hard
The still life image on a burned post card

The real lesson I need to learn
Is when you fear you sacrifice
And I could never give it all away
I don't deserve my own paradise

Well who will come to you late at night
And whisper sweetness in your ear
And who will hold you, one and true
To be the light inside of you

Who do you wish to be the one
To tuck you deep into the sun

With your mind trapped here
Amongst demons you call friends
There's new ideas blooming
In our kingdom's newest trends

With your mind trapped here
Amongst demons you call friends
There's new ideas blooming
In societies new trends

Can I spare some perception
That you won't understand
Or would that be a reflection
That this was never planned

All of your vacancies are separate from the whole
None of your complacency's
Came from your own soul

And even when the days are long
And working nerves, I'll be by your side
Every step along the way
We have each other to cross the divide

And even in our small routine
Its the simple life that warms the heart
We set the tempo up, and take the floor
To be ready for the dance

And I promise all of my heart
And everything that I can give
And I promise all of my love
From my very first breath until my epitaph
From this day forward, and on and on
Every moment is the breaking down
Blessed be in every lasting peace
Until this soul comes to cease

For better or worse
For sickness and health
If creation fails
And I injure myself

No one ever comes looking for trouble
And yet its always staring me down
I never asked to be a wanted man
But I could never say "No" when asked

Its right about now that you speak up
Letting slide on those timid vibes
Its right about here that the tone is set
While taking bets on who survives

Its right now when you stand up
And pull the tongue out of your mouth
You slam your hands down on the table
And spit a curse that clears the rooms out

It's a hard life when you're always the target
The lowest branch on the beating tree
It doesn't matter if shit rolls down hill
If you're everyone's favorite wheel of cheese

You take everything with a grain of salt
And be content with the left over scraps
Its not easy to be proud of nothing
But you play with the card you're dealt

And here we are with a new understanding
To pull the pity of a rotting corpse
And if there's anything left of value
You'll find it in remorse

Your hips
Swinging in my face, with no hesitation
Heat swells to the core of stimulation

 Your Charm
Can't be resisted
As you have depicted
We can't be everything that I predicted

But I'm not a rock star
And I never was
You're not what you are and I guess, I guess
Well that's how it has to be
Cause this is your mess
Causing your reality
So send a distress
Cause that's how you want to be
You're not good quality

I'm so lost in who I am
That ll the grass is made of dollar signs
And I may not be king of the hill
But I know these are my designs

I'm so lost in who I am
And every breath is a chore to take
Well I may not be king of my hill
But I know I'm about to break

When we put our hands together
We can see through the gloomy weather
When we can finally go outside
We might as well enjoy being alive

I'm dreaming of mole hills
And mountains of craziness
I'm so lost in who I am
I need so U.V. to comfort me

A burnt slice, a cult of decay
You need to know that there's a better way
A false truth, a miracle alive
You would surrender without the drive

Well sometimes you're so lost
You're crawling out of your own skin
And sometimes your only hope
Is a pathway of living in sin

A horrible vision of fading stains
Washed away in the rains
A crack of thunder and piercing ears
Playing hard on your fears

A cold night for a long walk
Of finding vagrants held at bay
A close cal for going all out
While the stone is in the way

A sure step in the right feet
Let the demons out to play
A dark spot in the twilight
It will be whatever they say

Well sometimes you're so lost
You're crawling out of your own skin
And sometimes your only hope
Is a pathway of living in sin

A hard vision for a cold stain
To find the filth is washed away
The crude ears of piercing effort
Playing rough on the cobble streets

A sure slice of stolen encounters
The demon aces a better way
The false image in a miracle twilight
Turns the peace into a fleeting lie

Well sometimes you're so lost
You're crawling out of your own skin
And sometimes your only hope
Is a pathway of living in sin

Its gonna be alright this way
Its gonna be alright tonight
Its gonna be alright for us
Its gonna be alright like this

Worn away from celestial veins
Madness from the world for brutality
I fear for what is left
Of my human remains

Eclipse the catatonic
Expand from the refrain
Defile from the name
Escape from your own body

Cause if you write it in the sky
Then I can follow your direction
Give me hope to glorify
And we can purge this predilection

Eclipse the catatonic
Expand from the refrain
Defile from the name
Escape from your own body

Break down faulty tectonics
There's more to come in shame
Take me away
From this drifting corruption

Put me into the coffin
And sign me to never leave
Put me up to the pistol
Send me to reprieve

Put me into the coffin
Cause this book will never end
Sign me to the eternal
Send me to pretend

Eclipse the catatonic
Expand from the refrain
Defile from the name
Escape from your own body

Break down faulty tectonics
There's more to come in shame
Take me away
From this drifting corruption

As I yield to the undertow
And as I'm pulled beneath the surface
I can taste a bitter current
Something I was afraid to face

What will it cost for you to be satisfied
And how many dreams will die
In the wake of your grand design

Well I heard every word you said
I think you use your mouth too much
And every word you say is a lie
I think you use your mouth too much

I can't believe I was so naive
To offer you the benefit of the doubt
And now we stand on a torn edge
The last force still holding out

Well I heard every word you said
I think you use your mouth too much
And every word you say is a lie
I think you use your mouth too much

How can you be so oppressive
When all ya had to do was sing along
And how can you be so depressing
Now that you live your life alone

How does it feel to be second guessing
What you've done all long
And where will you be tomorrow
And what will you do to atone

Well put your hand up to your heart
Its time for you to testify
And get down on your knees
Its time for you to repent your crimes 

And I don't ever want to see you begging
From your castle made of gold
You never seem to give up
So now you'll do what you're told

But that's not gonna make it any better

So show me what you've got
Before you let it all waste away
And show me what you're living for
If you feel so lead astray
Show me what it means to you
To be the only black sheep around the wishing hell
And show me what you gave yourself
Besides a hard locked guilt shocked prison cell

Well spend a thousand hours counting
How you like to criticize yourself

When you fall down
You get yourself back up
You take a step and then you take another

And that'll be how you make it better

 So show me what you've got
Before you let it all waste away
And show me what you're living for
If you feel so lead astray
Show me what it means to you
To be the only black sheep around the wishing hell
And show me what you gave yourself
Besides a hard locked guilt shocked prison cell

And you will find people rise around you

And you will find an honest truth

And this will be your day to remember
