Evidence

Frightened of the shadow on the wall
I think it looks a bit too much like me
Search my life for evidence of truth
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Terrified my tongue will now betray
All the lies that I'd been taught to say
Searched your eyes for evidence of love
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Can you hear the child tears
Whose paradise was taken from his hands
Can you hold him in your arms
And tell him that you'll try to understand
When there's no way in hell you can
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Afraid to break the silence in the room
Disbelieving faces stare me down
Seardch the world for evidence of faith
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Can you hear the child tears
Whose paradise was taken from his hands
Can you hold him in your arms
And tell him that you'll try to understand
When there's no way in hell you can
Can you hear me
Can you hear me now?

Let Her Feel The Rain

Captured in a photograph
In black & white
Her hair brushes her shoulders
as she leans to turn out the light
She's warm and you can feel her
But she can't feel you
No she's just too numb to move

Captured in a photograph
Without a frame
I see you standing tall
But I see no face to blame
And did she say she loved you
Well you know that's really nice
Because they say that when she cries
Her tear drops turn they turn to ice

Let her feel the rain
Won't you let her feel again
Feeling through the pain
Won't you let her feel the rain
upon her face
Let her feel the rain
Won't you let her feel the rain
upon her face.

Captured in a photograph
Inside her eyes
She'll wrap you in her blanket
And then she'll tell you some lies
And you will kneel before her
At her altar in the trees
Because they say no matter who you are
She'll bring you to your knees.

Let her feel the rain...

That's Me

Caught in a mirror
Looking through sympathetic eyes
I'll come to the conclusion
That believers are sinners in disguise
And I was blind

So if you ask me
I'll keep saying that I am fine
So just don't ask
And if you see me I'll keep
Flashing that winning smile
Cause that's my mask

Now I don't know what to believe
This girl made of steel with
her heart on her sleeve
Looking for someone
to love and leave me
That's me

Caught on the floor now
This bottle in my hand
In the confusion
It seemed the softest place to land
Now I can't stand

Everytime I'd think of you
I'd start to cry well not this time
And if you see me
You will know that the years went by
And they weren't kind

Walking the line on this highway of shame
Tied to the tracks expecting the train
So much to lose and no one to blame but me

That's me So if you see me...

More

Want to be full of you
Want to know all of you
Tell me the secret of your soul
Tell me more.

I want to taste your tears
And all that is in between
I'll give you all that I am
And all that I have been

I want to see you frightened
And I want to feel you strong
Watch your eyes
open for the morning
And close to cry when I am gone

What are we doing here
Naked on the floor
Cause I want more
So much more

So many hands were lost
In the valleys of my spine
So many arms have sworn to love
But given time have said no more

I want to give no reason
To touch your perfect face
I will die between your lips
And live in your embrace
Forever more

What am I doing here
What am I asking for
There is no more

Silence

Say the words break my heart
Touch my lips with your fingers
and push them apart
put your hands in my hair
and pull me down
well you're nothing but a stranger
to me now

'Cause I'm long past feeling
and I'm too far gone
staring at my ceiling
I know silence better
than anyone.

Say my name
and look away
take a breath take a bow
and take the train
say your piece
and say goodbye
you will regret that alibi

Cause I'm long past feeling
and I'm loading my gun
staring at my ceiling
I know silence better than anyone.

Red

Her face is down
And her fingers hang loose
Like horsetail cigarettes
Looks like half a man is all she gets tonight
My little Hercules
Never hurt anyone
And he's the only way of getting home
So when you're between her lips
And the spine of her bed
When everything turns red
Well I see red as well
When you see the colour of love
I see the colour of hell

I lose myself
And I fall away
Past the sad and long dog days
Through a world in which i don't belong anymore
Past the barstool boys
Who take and take me anyhow
But they never take you away

So when you fall beneath her sheets
I lose my head
When everything goes red
Well I see red as well
When you see the colour of love
I see the colour of hell

Lord, lead me on
To a world that I can no longer find
My dear you are all the time

Holy Tears

Wrapped inside a twisted world
I can't decide what is even real anymore
as though I ever knew
Tangled in these silhouettes
floating face down in a river of regrets
and thoughts of you

Holy tears
they linger on
Holding you
my light
forever gone

You believed she'd never leave
Rosy cheeked and oh so young
and full of flame
Here in this bed of emptiness
Button by button I come undone
and only twenty-one

Holy tears
they linger on
Holding you
my life
forever gone

Gone like the broken words at your feet
You're gone in the venom lips that kiss me sweetly
Gone like a frightened bird into the sky
Won't you take everything I ever had
and leave me to die as I cry

Holy tears
they linger on
Holding you
my love
forever gone

In The Wings

There's a frost in the air
Summer doesn't want to play
They've taken down the fair
And the leaves have all blown away

They say everything must die
For a new life to begin
In the seasons of our love
I feel the winter setting in

Through this bitter, bitter cold I thought I'd always
have you to hold me Through the storm
and keep me warm Through this bitter, bitter cold

The sun has kissed your face
Your tears in my hair
You say it's time to go my friend
You feel it in the air

And like the moon upon the water
Gives diamonds to the sea
I pray that when the snow is gone
You'll return to me

Through this bitter, bitter cold I thought I'd always
have you to hold me Through the storm
And keep me warm Through this bitter, bitter cold

And if there is such a thing
As winter in the spring
Then I'll make angels
And I'll see you in the wings
Of this bitter, bitter cold...

If You Could

If you could see me now
I wonder what you'd say
Would you turn to smile at me
Or would you turn away
If you could see me now

If you could hold me now
I wonder what you'd feel
Would it all come back to you
What would memories reveal

And you will never know
Until you're standing in my shoes
Just how much you can love someone
And how much you can lose
And If I could make you turn around
To see how we were then
Just one look into my eyes
you'd fall in love again
If you could see me now

If you could hear me now
I'd whisper in your ear
That I will always love you
And you know that I am here
If you could hear me now

And you will never now...

For You

You are all I see sweet obsession in my soul
Fill each moment with your voice
Breathe your beauty into me

Would I die for you No I live for you
You know I do You know I do

You are all I know
Your mouth is all I taste
My breast between your lips
My tongue upon your waist

Would I die for you I live for you
You know I do You know I do

And though you never will be mine
I will ieve to know that you have touched me
Once upon a time

You are all I am

And everything I feel
Your words are all I understand
But you're not real

Would I die for you I live for you
You know I do You know
I do
I do
