Welcome Home

ALL I SEE

blank walls in another empty room/windows with no view/another life that's gone too soon/these days have fallen into gray/and people rarely say/what they want to say/but come with me/cause all i see is colors/pouring over, down on everything/all i see is colors/pouring down, all over me/come along i want you near me/you're gonna see the lights that blind me/and you won't hide from anything/i want to make you part of me/i want to wake you from this sleep/i want to give you everything/all i see is colors/ pouring down, all over me/light fades, but it's ok/i'm not scared of this bed i've made/we're gonna stop the hands of time/and tear them up/all i see is colors...

TRAIN

a train's tearing through this place/scars cover a a wounded face/it's not love you wanted when you came back/stars burning have now turned black/and i hear you're coming home/and i fear you're all alone/fire running through these veins/fire burning down this place/love will we ever learn?/burned, wasted and overturned/are you lost whenever you try to stand/once, you would have held my hand/and i hear you're coming home/and i fear you're all alone/fire running through these veins/fire burning down this place/and i know something's wrong/it's enough to drive you from another heart another one/and i know something's lost/you can never find the one/fire...

STRANGLED

turned to face myself alone/ 'cause we both know/ we don't walk on the same road/ the same road/ minutes turn to a week/ but we don't speak/ we just shout in the same tones/ the same tones/ twisting all of the fears until they/ strangle me/ tear down this wall/ tear down these walls/ tell me why my heart will bend/ but won't mend/ is it 'cause i'm the wrong one/ the wrong one/ easier for you to find/ another mind/ to share your thoughts/ when i'm turned out/ i'm turned out/ twisting all of the fears until they/ strangle me/ tear down this wall/ tear down these walls/ how much could i feel it/ how much could i know/ the sounds of fear trembles in my soul/ i'm lost in here forever/ nothing's on my side/ never before/ never before i've lied/ twisting all of the fears until they/ strangle me/ tear down this wall/ tear down these walls/ oh, the wrong one/

DARKER DAYS

stones thrown/windows broken/tombstones have grown a family tree/around my feet/paint a picture/colored red and blistered at the seams/and you'll see me/darker days/that's what i love/that's what i love/blown to pieces/winter blooms and freezes down in me/what does it mean?/when i love the thunder as i'm going under/the sea again/it starts to fold and swallow/darker days/that's what i love...

EMPTY

all of your dreams just leave me empty/all of your dreams just leave me dead/look at me/i'm going to be/but you don't see the things i see/another dove up above/but you don't like the things i love/and i'm hard enough again/come feel me/and i'm tired of all the rest/come see me/all of your dreams just leave me empty/all of your dreams just leave me dead/i've become a second son/to you and all the things i've done/i could become the only one/but you don't like the drugs i'm on/but i'm hard enough again/come feel me/and i'm tired of all the rest/come see me/all of your dreams just leave me empty/all of your dreams just leave me dead

WELCOME HOME

crashing down in London town/it seems so long coming down/cause i remember/i remember/another day filled with rain/another night screaming "Pain"/it frightens me to think that it could fade/home is far away/given life to meanings end/a brand new face/a truer friend/do you remember?/i'm coming back/i'll see you then/the Cold Room where it began/you pulled me up before i knelt to pray/home is far away/long drives/the sound of "Turnpike"/tearing through your golden countryside/white lights shining from the sky/my one regret was that i couldn't stay/home is far away/i/i can't see you/i can't leave you/you won't leave my mind/i can't see you/i can't leave you/you won't leave my mind

HOLD ME

if i could go back again/to a place that i've never been/i would change the day/you ever had to stay/i wouldn't always keep turning away/or bend the rules knowing that they'd break/and i would change the day/you ever had to say to me/hold me/don't be the only/the only shadow in my heart/if i told you the truth/you'd believe without needing proof/and i would change the day/you ever had to say/and in the back of my memory/i wouldn't hide from the things i've seen/and i would change the day/you ever had to say to me/hold me/don't be the only/the only shadow in my heart/chalk it up to another time/it's enough to say i never wanted it at all/ hold me

BLEED ON

last night i couldn't sleep/i had a vision say to me/if you want to wake up to better days/forget the past and your shallow ways/just bleed on/woke up to the moon/so bright it cracked me into/it made me realize there's more to life/don't keep it inside/there's miles of roses/and thorns are showing/cut the skin like paper/and see what's flowing/bleed on/bleed on your maker/bleed on/the ground that will take us/bleed on/twilight coming soon/flowers die before they bloom/see what you're made of/don't let it slip away/if there's miles of roses/and thorns are showing/cut the skin like paper/and see what's flowing/bleed on/bleed on your maker/bleed on/the ground that will take us/bleed on/don't leave me forever/never want to stay together/if i fall off the world you'd never want to be the same forever/bleed on

FALL

silver lights and gorgeous dreams/autumn nights aren't what they seem/these dare the days that keep me awake/from the sound of crowded rooms/no one's around except to you/these are the days that keep me awake/watch the fall break me/i've heard the words they've said of me/some say i'm cursed eternally/these are the days that keep me awake/one last breath from my lips/raise the sails of sinking ships/these are the days that keep me awake/watch the fall break down on me/and i feel it coming on/and i feel it going by/fall...break down on me

PRISON

welcome to the sounds of screaming/ welcome to the walls of stone/ knock me out and leave me bleeding/ 13 years you feel so old/ and i know it won't get easier/ and i know until i'm gone/ i won't make it/ i won't make it/ welcome to this prison called home/ said you'd leave if he "adores" you/ said you'd leave if he gets stoned/ got to get me out of this prison/ got to get me out of this tomb/ i won't make it/ i won't make it/ welcome to this prison called home/

DROWN

stand on this emptiness/and lead you from harm/with the world over your shoulders/it weighs like a storm/that thunders through every night/and drowns out the sounds of life til morning/but then creeps back/i've known this one last wish/could keep you from the dark/but the world's over your shoulders/it weighs like a storm/that thunders through every night/and drowns out the sounds of life til morning/but then creeps back/i've never wanted something that could make you want to change/i've never wanted someone that would change/why?/give me this one last kiss/then leave me alone/cause the world's over your shoulders/it weighs like a storm/that thunders through every night/and drowns out the sounds of life til morning/but then creeps back/i've never wanted something that could make you want to change/i've never wanted someone that would change/why?

STARS COME DOWN

sometimes the voices in my head/start to laugh/i think of you instead/but the jokes bury me in the sand/and i choke and lose all your feeing/i want to walk to the bridge that you always said/you'd jump off if things ever get real bad/but i stop/for fearing that if i did get to the top/i'd follow you/if the stars came down in a million showers/and i made a wish that could truly flower and bloom over you/would you take your new life and give something from it/instead of a lie and a broken promise/i'm here...if you care/do you care?/earthquakes throw me right out of bed/these fakes in the land of the living dead/i'd make a run for it but instead i stay/i secretly love it/what did you say?/was it me you were laughing at?/you gave us hope/turned around/then you took it back/i want to know was it worth it?/i've got to know was it worth it/if the stars came down in a million showers/and i made a wish that could truly flower and bloom over you/would you take your new life and give something from it/instead of a lie and a broken promise/i'm here...if you care/do you care?
