I
want you |
other available lyrics... |
so you want
to make them go your way
through the clouds you walk
want to make them just go away
well you can't
have all you want
it's something that you just can't change
cuz breaking out is something
meaning something you can't have
whenever you're
not near
I think I want you here
the words aren't exactly clear
but oh - I think I want you
soon you'll
wonder why you thought this way
the pain inside your mind
is simply not too sincere
well you can't
have all you want
it's something that you just can't change
cuz breaking out is something
meaning something you can't have
whenever you're
not near
I think I want you here
the words aren't exactly clear
but oh - I think I want you

people
all goin' nowhere
can you see me - I do
people all say it's over
can you hear me - I do
finding
your way - keeps you waiting
now all of my precious days - fall together
will it ever - fall together
do
you everwonder
why we feel free - my fool
would you be the better
can you see me - right through
hiding
yourself - leaves me waiting
then some of my final maze - falls together
will it ever - fall together
can
you see me - I do
can you hear me - I do
trying
your way - leaves me waiting
will all of my tempest rage - pass forever
will it ever - last forever
will it ever - fall together
I don't know
walking on
through - living this life
put my arms to the sky
standing on two - not knowing why
holding my eyes to the sky
won't you become one
knowing the
rules - reasoning life
now that I'm ready to know
wondering too - where it will lead
I don't know why I'm here
won't you
hope to become one
just hold on we can become one
walking on
through - living this life
put my arms to the sky
standing on two - not knowing why
holding my eyes to the sky
won't you
hope to think you know
hold on to what is hopeful -
that is more than I know
it feels
like they love you
then they don't know you
turning their backs far away
then they will find you
and always remind you
that you are the one to be blamed
don't you
see -
that we're runnin' straight to the edge
and then
it was my turn
to be so delightful
it's something I should not have said
the damage was done now
but where do we go now
we're pushing right over the edge
I wanna
be with you
I won't compete for you
don't you see that we're runnin' straight to the edge
t feels
like they love you
then they don't know you
I guess it's just part of the game
you say that it's fine now
but give it some time now
can we ever be the same
I wanna
be with you
I won't compete for you
don't you see that we're runnin' straight to the edge
I want
you to know me
I want you to care
call it flesh-covered misery - different shades of gray
sinful tones of melancholy - call from yesterday
a future tainted promissory - drenched in colored rays
until you see the view from my eyes - an eternal haze
I like
what you do for me
I like you there
when the sun has faded - in the still of the night
when we finally made it - and everything is all right
then and only then - absent the slightest hue of white
will you peer inside my soul - to unveil the dark inside
yesterday
- I saw the world burn
symphony of the Devil's hand
no one rose to see the future
destiny of troubled man
you do
just what you're told to do
you've no mind of your own - oh no
and now it pulses through your lifeblood - makes you feel alive
your culture hails one vital flame and prideful points of five
call it arrogance or ignorance - now you feel your hatred thrive
like leading cattle to a slaughter - there's no way to survive
twisted,
sick, in the mind of a prick
can anyone comprehend
what goes on down deep inside
of someone who preys on the innocent minds of
eleven little girls -
11 minds who still had some faith in this world
- faith they're safe with love and then
bang - you shattered
all that mattered to a young mind
you'll find it only takes one-act so malicious
the trust of a child is so fragile and precious
and once it's gone - it's gone,
forever - so never make the mistake of
thinking you can make them take love
you
broke the heart and soul of all 11 children
you took their innocence away
you took their trust, broke their spirit,
then you threw it all away
- and now there's flashbacks, wounds time failed to heal
their vulnerable souls still too numb to feel
a storm without rain - only pain
flooded with memories inside they're still
eleven little girls -
11 souls with no sense of safety in this world
- it only takes one touch and then
bang - malevolence with no relevance
- to here and now, shattered confidence
basic human needs - trust, safety,
self-worth, simple intimacy
you left them hangin' on for sanity
an eternity plagued by a memory
life's fragile - gone in an instant
you took love from an infant
you forced your 'love' upon all 11 children
you took their innocence away
you broke the heart and soul of all 11 women
you took their trust, you broke their spirit,
then you threw it all away
now
you must rise for the honorable
and face what you've got comin' to you
your destiny waits as you take the stand
against a panel of 12 with just one man
11
lifetimes served concurrently - you'd think should seal your fate
sentenced to be the prison wife of every merciless inmate
speechless terror every hour, the rest of your days forsaken
still it's not enough for the innocent eleven lives you've taken
you
forced your 'love' upon all 11 women
you took their innocence away
you broke the heart and soul of all 11 women
then you threw it all away
you
took their trust, you broke their spirit - (you threw it all away)
you broke their heart, you stole their soul - (you threw it all
away)
you took their love, you stole their innocence - (you threw it all
away)
and then you threw it all away -
I know there ain't nothin' called the 'Promise Land'
and I know you can't come back to see me
and how I wish you could come take my hand
but so vivid is your memory - oh yeah
death
is like the history of a family or a friend
there is a closeness and even affection - an everlasting affection
but death separates us from one another
only the vividness of a memory can keep the dead alive forever
I
know there ain't nothin' called the 'Promise Land'
and I know you can't come back to see me
and how I wish you could come take my hand
but so vivid is your memory
I can hold on to your memory
well
I remember just exactly where I was
when I heard the news - (oh, how I remember)
and I remember just exactly what we did
just a week before - (oh, how I remember)
but friend, there's nothin' you can do
to bring somebody back to you
and only the vividness of a memory can keep the dead alive forever
and so your spirit lives forever
it
can hit me anytime, and I never know when,
and I know damn well I'll never see you again
in reality, your body's gone,
but the spirit of your soul will carry on
I know that you and I will never be together again
but your spirit - your soul
your spirit lives forever...
I
watched a man die tonight
could've been me, I know - just as easily
seen him lyin' there face down on the ground
there's no sign of life & I feel the rain comin' down
woke
up to the sound o' the phone ringin'
hey man, Terry never made it home last night
now it looks like talk of change turned to empty promises
cuz we all still drive behind that spinnin' roulette wheel
better bet on black
- you better wise up
you think you know better - "never happen to me"
until it happens right outside your door
wise up - you don't change now, you're gonna learn the hard
way
better wise up before you throw it all away
education's
only half the game
what you remember when the stakes are high
we roll the dice - take a ride without a helmet
but passion seems to have a way of fuckin' with your mind
I
can't get over the things you say
can't think of anything that feels this way
feeling so happy is something you wanted to be
I
lie awake just to see you there
thoughts in my head seem to keep you near
feeling so happy is something you wanted from me
I
want your love
and I need your touch
it's something I wanted to feel
it's something you wanted from me
I
have just found what I've been looking for
will you be there when I close the door
feeling so certain is something I've wanted to feel
something
I wanted to feel
something you wanted from me
something you wanted -
