A New Morning

I feel your arms around me,
I know that they surround me,
I see your endless greed,
but you can't do without me,
the lifeline that you need,
I am the air that you breathe,
you want to take a chance with a warhead romance,
you'll get what you deserve,
you'd better take a stand, better make your demands,
or leave your voice unheard,
but will we learn?
you walked out into the morning,
the world was against you, they'll never forget you,
you walked out without a warning,
the past can't define you, the future reminds you,
your words are so misleading,
fucked up and so deceiving,
I don't believe what you say,
you bought out all the outlets,
you write out all the big checks,
don't let truth get in the way,
it's a sign of the times, you slave away til you die,
you work yourself to the bone,
they won't compromise, if they see fear in your eyes,
you won't get far on your own,
all alone,
you walked out into the morning,
the world was against you, they'll never forget you,
you walked out without a warning,
the roads were all winding,
the lights were all blinding

Down & Out In The State

They tell you how to feel,
they tell you what is real,
they'll make you understand,
everything you own is in the palms of their hand,
but I'm telling you tonight,
I won't be afraid of the fight,
and you may not understand it,
but they'll take it away in the blink of an eye,
life is simple if you never lead,
or never question the things you see,
it'll take you places you can't believe,
like a little, old place down here in misery,
you work every day,
you barely find a way,
but it isn't all it seems,
you got nothing to show for your broken dreams,
life is simple if you never lead,
or never question what you believe,
what can burn you will burn me,
open your mind and you'll find the key,
few will prosper, but most will weep,
they weigh you down until your on your knees,
it'll take you places of disbelief,
like a little, old place down here in misery

Somewhere You Belong

I never said I'm sorry when I let you down,
the words don't come easy,
but you're the best that I have found,
my heart still feels heavy when I think about you here right now,
we used to be together, I'd see you all the time,
but as the years went on, the less you would confide,
the little things matter, and I let the little things slide,
it seems strange, I can't find the words to say,
the more we changed, the more we seemed to stay the same,
won't you take me back where you belong?
the rain was pouring down when we said goodbye,
you had barely taken off when you fell from the sky,
you know I'll always love you, know you're always on my mind,
I'll be around, I've been lying here for days,
waiting for the thought of you to fade away,
won't you take me back where you belong?
You'll shine on forever if you take it back where you belong

Phantom Engineer

Baby says i'm the phantom engineer,
I only ride in the night,
i gotta heart made of stone,
and it's unseen to your sight,
well i was born to keep you all torn, to make you curse the light of day,
and i won't leave until the fools believe cos the fools all gotta price to pay,
maybe i don't need to deceive you, mistreat you, mislead you, or beat you, cos baby I don't need you,
you and all the pain that you bring,
said you were a looker and God knows you ain't no saint,
and I'm going to tear up this town,
take each person prisoner and let all the children down,
they won't even have the chance to scream,
I gotta keep you away,
These situations are causing frustrations that leaving me deaf to your words,
low expectations, no motivations, the next generation is turned,
go pop your pills, go out make the deals that tend to make you feel somewhat sane,
your lack of tact, it all comes back,
right to the back of my brain,
don't be concerned about things that you've heard,
be more disturbed by the things that you've learned,
about him, and them and your lover right now,
played me for a fool but I got you all figured out,
yeah well you'd better believe,
the devil's coming back for him, for you, and for me,
you won't even have a chance to scream,
I gotta keep you away,
Ryan was a friend done lost his head,
Elaine was insane and too wild to tame,
but now they're both living in a world of self doubt,
played me for a fool but i got them figured out,
and time keeps passing by,
those two snakes are dead in my mind's eye,
they won't even have the chance to scream,
