In the real dark night of the soul
It's always 3 a.m.
It's always darkest before the dawn
It never dawned on me
At my weakest I'm pretending to be strong
Sometimes the demons are too hard to control
In my darkest moment
Something takes me over, makes me turn a cold shoulder
In my darkest moment
I need a revelation, divine illumination to come my way
Just when I thought I was me
It just wasn't me talkin'
And the last one that I'd ever wanna hurt
Stood right in my way
Hating is easy and loving takes real character
Love ain't in fashion in this hard stone cold hearted world
In my darkest moment
Something takes me over and I don't know why
In my darkest moment
I pray for revelation, divine illumination to come my way
(The pain, the grief, the agony...)
In my darkest moment
Something takes me over, makes me turn a cold shoulder
In my darkest moment
In my blackest hour I need someone to come and help to light my way
Let some light come my way...

A Day Late, A Dollar Short
Late at night as I lay down to sleep
I think of all the secrets people keep
like how I feel for you
Do you feel it too
or is it something we have to resume
We're just two people watching time fly by
In a world in it's obvious decline
But we are young and strong
We can carry on
Find a little Paradise of our own
'cos no one saves the day
it's no one else's fault
if you're a day late or dollar short
Just think about how lovely life could be
Excluding all the man-made misery
If we're too far behind
And really out of time
Is there another world they plan to find?
Too many dreams of youth
That we never caught
Just a day late or dollar short
We're all just lonely people
Only dyin' to fall in love
Feelings that we thought
Dreams we never caught
Just a day late or dollar short
All the loneliness, the blues
Feelings so distraught
When you're a day late or a dollar short
Too many dreams of youth
That we never caught
Just a day late or a dollar short
And no one saves the day
It's no one else's fault
When you're a day late or a dollar short

Delirious
No one in the world likes me
No one gets it right with me
No one knows what I'm about
That's why I just scream and shout
No one stands up for the real me
You don't take me serious
Say I'm just delirious
I'm not responsible
I'm just impossible
I'm just delirious
Well I hope someone up there loves me
Don't know where I've been lately
Close my eyes and I see red
Was it something I just said
Maybe I'm going out of my head
You don't take me serious
Say I'm just delirious
I'm not responsible
I'm just impossible
I'm just delirious
No one knows what I'm about
That's why I just scream and shout
I'm going out of my head
You don't take me serious
Say I'm just delirious
I'm not responsible
I'm just impossible
I'm just delirious

Watch This
Everything I see
I haven't seen this way before
It's not just you and me
Others do agree for sure
Everyone I know
Is so afraid and quite confused
What becomes of us
Should be known to me and you
All that we have found
The infrastructure's breaking down
I see no saviour coming 'round
The final days have come and gone
And more lies become exposed
Beyond the ones we already know - no nice surprise
Watch this - you think yuo've seen it all
Watch this - the best is yet to come
Some real fun
Watch this - I watch it all flow by
And let nothing phase me out
Everything's a mess
But my mind is pure and clean
I can only guess
Have they brainwashed, programmed me?
Almost everyone
Is scared of what they might become
Some already have
Made a nightmare from a dream
All that we have found
The infrastructure's breaking down
But all this chaos calms me down
Disorder comes as safe and sound
I'm detached from the outcome
But I still believe in miracles - some nice surprise
Watch this - you think you've seen it all
Watch thiss - the best is yet to come
Some real fun
Watch this - I watch it all flow by
And let nothing phase me out
