SURFACING
Building a Mistery
You come out at night/
that's when the energy comes/
and the dark side's light/
and the vampires roam/
You strut your rasta ware, /
and your suicide poem/
And a cross from a faith that died,/
before Jesus came/
You're building a mystery/
You live in a church,/
where you sleep with voodoo dolls/
And you won't give up the search, /
for the ghosts in the halls/
You wear sandals in the snow/
and a smile that won't wash away/
Can you look out the window/
without your shadow getting in the way/
You're so beautiful,/
with an edge and charm/
And so careful, /
when I'm in your arms/
Because you're working,/
building a mystery/
Holding on, and holding in/
Yeah you're working,/
building a mystery/
and choosing so carefully /
You wake up screaming aloud,/
a prayer from your secret god/
You feed off our fears,/
and hold back your tears... oh,/
You give us a tantrum,/
and a know-it-all grin/
Just when we need one, /
when the evening's thin/
You're a beautiful,/
a beautiful, fucked up man/
You're setting up your/
razor wire shrine/
Because you're working,/
building a mystery/
Holding on, and holding in/
Yeah you're working,/
building a mystery/
and choosing so carefully /
You're building a mystery.
I Love You
I have a smile/
stretched from ear to ear/
to see you walking down the road/
we meet at the lights/
I stare for a while/
the world around disappears/
just you and me/
on this island of hope/
a breath between us could be miles/
let me surround you/
my sea to your shore/
let me be the calm you seek/
oh and every time I'm close to you/
there's too much I can't say/
and you just walk away/
and I forgot/
to tell you/
I love you/
and the night's/
too long/
and cold here/
without you /
I grieve in my condition/
for I cannot find the words to say I need you so/
oh and every time I'm close to you/
there's too much I can't say/
and you just walk away/
and I forgot/
to tell you/
I love you/
and the night's/
too long/
and cold here/
without you/
Sweet Surrender
It doesn't mean much/
it doesn't mean anything at all/
the life I've left behind me/
is a cold room/
I've crossed the last line/
from where I can't return/
where every step I took in faith /
betrayed me/
and led me from my home/
and sweet/
sweet surrender/
is all that I have to give/
you take me in/
no questions asked/
you strip away the ugliness/
that surrounds me/
are you an angel/
am I already that gone/
I only hope/
that I won't disappoint you/
when I'm down here/
on my knees/
and sweet /
sweet/
sweet surrender/
is all that I have to give/
sweet/
sweet/
sweet surrender/
is all that I have to give/
and I don't understand/
by the touch of your hand/
I would be the one to fall/
I miss the little things/
oh I miss everything/
It doesn't mean much/
it doesn't mean anything at all/
the life I left behind me/
is a cold room/
Adia
Adia, I do believe I failed you./
Adia, I know I've let you down./
Don't ya know I tried so hard to love you/
in my way. /
It's easy, let it go /
Adia, I'm empty since you left me /
trying to find a way to carry on.../
I've searched myself and everyone /
to see where we went wrong /
there's no one left to finger /
there's no one left to blame /
there's no one left to talk to, honey /
and there aint no one to buy our innocence/
cause we are born innocent /
believe me, Adia /
we still are innocent /
it's easy, we all falter/
it doesn't matter. /
Adia, I thought that we could make it/
I know I can't change the way you feel /
I leave you with your misery, /
a friend who won't betray./
Pull you from your tower /
I'll take away your pain /
show you all the beauty you possess /
if you'd only let yourself believe/
that we are born innocent/
believe me adia, we are still innocent /
it's easy , we all faulter /
does it matter?/
cause we are born innocent /
believe me, Adia /
we still are innocent /
it's easy, we all falter/
it doesn't matter./
Do What You Have To Do
What ravages of spirit/
conjured this temptuous rage/
created you a monster/
broken by the rules of love/
and fate has lead you through it/
you do what you have to do/
and fate has led you through it/
you do what you have to do .../
and I have the sense to recognize that/
I don't know how to let you go/
every moment marked/
with apparitions of your soul/
I'm ever swiftly moving/
trying to escape this desire/
the yearning to be near you/
I do what I have to do/
the yearning to be near you/
I do what I have to do/
and I have the sense to recognize/
that I don't know how/
to let you go/
I don't know how/
to let you go/
a glowing ember/
burning hot/
and burning slow/
deep within I'm shaken by the violence/
of existing for only you/
I know I can't be with you/
I do what I have to do/
I know I can't be with you/
I do what I have to do/
and I have sense to recognize but/
I don't know how to let you go/
I don't know how to let you go/
I don't know how to let you go/
Witness
Make me a witness/
take me out/
out of darkness/
out of doubt/
I won't weigh you down/
with good intention/
won't make fire out of clay/
or other inventions/
will we burn in heaven/
like we do down here/
will a change come /
while we're waiting/
everyone is waiting/
and when we're done/
soul searching/
and we carried the weight/
and died for the cause/
is misery/
made beautiful/
right before our eyes/
mercy will be revealed/
or blind us where we stand/
will we burn in heaven/
like we do down here/
will a change come /
while we're waiting/
everyone is waiting/
Angel
Spend all your time waiting/
for that second chance/
for a break that would make it okay/
there's always some reason/
to feel not good enough/
and it's hard at the end of the day/
I need some distraction/
oh beautiful release/
memory seeps from my veins/
let me be empty/
and weightless and maybe/
I'll find some peace tonight/
In the arms of the angel/
fly away from here/
from this dark cold hotel room/
and the endlessness that you fear/
you are pulled from the wreckage/
of your silent reverie/
you're in the arms of the angel/
may you find some comfort here/
so tired of the straight line/
and everywhere you turn/
there's vultures and thieves at your back/
and the storm keeps on twisting/
you keep on building the lie/
that you make up for all that you lack/
it don't make no difference/
escaping one last time/
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh/
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees/
In the arms of the angel/
fly away from here/
from this dark cold hotel room/
and the endlessness that you fear/
you are pulled from the wreckage/
of your silent reverie/
you're in the arms of the angel/
may you find some comfort there/
you're in the arms of the angel/
may you find some comfort here/
Black and White
Unravel me/
a distant cord/
on the outside is forgotten/
a constant need/
to get along/
and the animal awakens/
and all I feel is black and white/
the road is long/
the memory slides/
to the whole of my undoing/
put aside/
I put away/
I push it back to get through each day/
and all I feel is black and white/
and I'm wound up small and tight/
and I don't know who I am/
everybody loves you when you're easy/
everybody hates when you're a bore/
everyone is waiting for your entrance so/
don't disappoint them/
unravel me/
untie this chord/
the very centre of our union/
is caving in/
I can't endure/
I am the archive of our failure/
and all I feel is black and white/
and I'm wound up small and tight/
and I don't know who I am/
everybody loves you when you're easy/
everybody hates when you're a bore/
everyone is waiting for your entrance so/
don't disappoint them/
everybody loves you when you're easy so/
don't disappoint them/
don't disappoint them .../
Full Of Grace
the winter here's cold, and bitter/
it's chilled us to the bone/
we haven't seen the sun for weeks/
to long too far from home/
I feel just like I'm sinking/
and I claw for solid ground/
I'm pulled down by the undertow/
I never thought I could feel so low/
oh darkness I feel like letting go/
if all of the strength and all of the courage/
come and lift me from this place/
I know I could love you much better than this/
full of grace/
full of grace/
my love/
so it's better this way, I said/
having seen this place before/
where everything we say and do/
hurts us all the more/
its just that we stayed, too long/
in the same old sickly skin/
I'm pulled down by the undertow/
I never thought I could feel so low/
oh darkness I feel like letting go/
if all of the strength/
and all of the courage/
come and lift me from this place/
I know I could love you much better than this/
full of grace/
full of grace/
my love
