Let the walls come down tonight, fight the unbearable. Set the whole damn place alight - a fire as a parable. Nothing but a ten-foot cell ain’t where I ought to be. It really ain’t no place to dwell from here to eternity. I remember every thought I ever had, years of wrong or right. But with every gone-by evening they have slowly lost the meaning they once had. Let the walls come down tonight.
Set the whole damn place alight, before it will kill me. Let the walls come down tonight. Flames will fulfill me. I remember everything I’ve ever done - a memory of an elephant. But with every gone-by evening it has slowly lost its meaning, and became just irrelevant. I remember every thought I’ve ever had, years of wrong or right. But with every gone-by evening they have slowly lost the meaning they once had. Let the walls come down tonight.

Things are a-changing, another trial of strength and weakness. Climbing backwards to the center of my mind. I’m rearranging - I turn off the light, shut down the darkness, singing every song there is for one last time. There’s a house up on the hill and it was filled with words. Well it really hurts, I didn’t mean to flush the birds. Now they will never ever tell me how the story ends. Long gone friends.
If you hurt me, I will be the last to notice - did I ever get a single word you said? You can’t convert me, and I thought you ought to know this: Better wake up now, before you wake up dead. There’s a house up on the hill and it was filled with words. Well it really hurts, I didn’t mean to flush the birds. Now they will never ever tell me how the story ends. Faded words, long gone friends.
There’s a stairway, built by someone dear and kind. There’s a stairway to the center of my mind. There’s a house up on the hill and it was filled with words. Well it really hurts, I didn’t mean to flush the birds. Now they will never ever tell me how the story ends. Faded words, long gone friends.

I'll Be Fine

I have been chasing rainbows since the day I could run, I’ve been crying when no one could hear. I knew from the start, it’s a million to one, that someone would lend me her ear. I got back the bitter for the sweet that I gave. I still run like I run out of time. I heard ‘em all say fortune favors the brave - well as long as you’re there I’ll be fine.
They say life’s a dance, but I know there’s a twist: It ain’t easy to waltz on your own. The palm of my hand’s just a wide open fist, but there’s no use to fight all alone. Without your love I’d be nowhere at all - I guess I’d be forced to resign. I know you will catch me the day I will fall, so as long as you’re there I’ll be fine.
I have been chasing rainbows since the day I could run, now I’m leaving those rainbows behind. ‘Cause out of a million you are always the one, and as long as you’re there I’ll be fine. As long as you’re there I’ll be fine.

Four o’clock a.m. again, and still I cannot sleep. I can feel the earth rotating, and I hear it softly weep. Some books are left unwritten, some questions never asked. Lost in the deep. I pull away the cover that I’m lying underneath. They are eating me alive, so I’d like to see their teeth. There are stories left untold, so many things are left undone. There’s no time to breathe. There was fire like there’s never been before, it’s still warming though it doesn’t burn no more. And I know that when it’s time for me to go, I got an open door.
I know what makes the flowers grow, but still I don’t know why. And some are taken early, long before they die. Did they want more than there was? Did they give more than they had? Oh, what a lullaby. They were singing in the rain like they invented every song. And when the rain was over, they were singing in the sun. The sound of their voices still owns me - I remember everyone. There was fire like there’s never been before. Yeah it sure has left its mark right to the core. And I know that when it’s time for me to go, I got an open door. There was fire like there’s never been before, it’s still warming though it doesn’t burn no more. And I know that when it’s time for me to go, I got an open door.
Something broke inside on the day they died - well things do break if they won’t bend. I can find no sleep, as the thoughts run deep again.
Five o’clock a.m. again, and still I cannot sleep. I can feel the earth rotating, and I hear it softly weep. Some books are left unwritten, some questions never answered. Lost in the deep. There was fire like there’s never been before. Yeah it sure has left its mark right to the core. And I know that when it’s time for me to go, I got an open door. There was fire like there’s never been before, it’s still warming though it doesn’t burn no more. And I know that when it’s time for me to go, I got an open door.

Ten thousand words won't make up a novel. A sky full of birds won't hold back the rain. Just go where you will, if you're destined to travel. I keep standing still, ‘cause movement won't deaden the pain.
I will wait by the door. I'll wait 'til tomorrow, wear the shoes that you wore, while I stare 'cross the plain. I'm thinking in answers to question the sorrow. A fool who still dances, ‘cause movement won't deaden the pain.
Today is the day to wait 'til tomorrow, and it won't go away - time is hard to explain. A sky full of birds just adds to the sorrow. Their passage, it hurts. No, movement won't deaden the pain.
One season we spend in our hemisphere, then follow the birds and their call. Do birds have a reason? And why do words move us at all?
Ten thousand letters remain part of my mind. They free me from fetters, they’re keeping me sane. They're a shield from the harm. And though you left me behind, I'm still safe in your arm. But I won't march the funeral train, ‘cause movement won't deaden the pain.

I guess you don’t know me, but you’ve seen me before. You try to ignore me, you hurt me once more. You are such a queen, and I act like the king. You’re the best that I’ve seen, but I notice your ring. I tell you I will never open my eyes when I speak. ‘Cause I am so afraid that I’d see you just turning away.
There’s something between us I just can’t ignore. I know that we’ve seen us, we’ve seen us before. You are such a queenie, so I lower my voice. I’m getting so teeny, but I ain’t got no choice. I tell you I will never open my eyes when I speak. ‘Cause I am so afraid that I’d see you just turning away. I tell you I will never open my eyes when I speak. ‘Cause I think that your eyes are like mirrors who show that I’m weak.
I tell you I will never open my eyes when I speak. ‘Cause I am so afraid that I’d see you just turning away. I tell you I will never open my eyes when I speak. ‘Cause I think that your eyes are like mirrors who show that I’m weak. Are like mirrors who show that I’m weak.

We’re all descending like the the sun into the sea. We’re all falling like the apple from the tree. We take our time, until time takes us away. We’re on our way, but there’s no way out, either way. We’ll be running out of words, so we go la la la la la. Here today, gone tomorrow - not much time is left to borrow. It just goes la la la la la. Keep on singing as a token, for the words are left unspoken.
There’s still a piece or two that no one can erase. Every little bit you built is mirroring your face. All the laughter and the loving are still equal to the pain, and the things you said are bound to keep me sane. Yeah we’ll be running out of words, so we go la la la la la. Here today, gone tomorrow - not much time is left to borrow. It just goes la la la la la. Just an L and an A for everything we saw.
We’ll be running out of words, so we go la la la la la. Here today, gone tomorrow - not much time is left to borrow So sing along, it just goes la la la la la. Keep on singing as a token, for the words are left unspoken.

Glad To Be Here

These chains are too heavy, and these bars are too bold. Must be 10 years already, since I got too tired of growing too old. I’m searching for shelter from the oncoming storm. A long torn down belter, who yearns for the moment when he’s safe and warm. I’ve pictured a life on a roundabout, now I feel the grass growing under my feet. I was sure I would die for it, now I’m just living it out. Glad to be here - if grass was the ground where we’d meet.
There was no beginning, but there will be an end. The wheel will stop spinning, and I hope there is time enough to be on the mend. Just hand me a mirror, ‘cause I need to know. I got to see clearer if the day’s getting nearer, and I got to go. I’ve pictured a life on a roundabout, now I feel the grass growing under my feet. I was sure I would die for it, now I’m just living it out. Glad to be here - if grass was the ground where we’d meet.
My heart fills with sadness with the night drawing near. Remembering the gladness of yesterday’s years, with nothing to fear. Nothing to fear. Nothing to fear. Nothing to fear.

In the heat of the moment, I freeze from the cold and turn into stone. I am my own opponent, I’m always on hold. But I’m not alone. I’m not alone.
There’s a crack in about everything, and holes stack to a heft. We paralyze our senses, so there ain’t no burden left. We used to be on fire, amid the hearts that burned like coal. A long forgotten goal. In the heat of the moment, I freeze from the cold and turn into stone. I am my own opponent, I’m always on hold. But I’m not alone.
Who can face the dawn these days, I am simply asking. Who has got the guts to make this time more easy passing? Who will shed no tear over the years that we have lost? We drew the lines ourselves, the ones that we have crossed. In the heat of the moment, I freeze from the cold and turn into stone. I am my own opponent, I’m always on hold. But I’m not alone.
In the heat of the moment, I freeze from the cold and turn into stone. I am my own opponent, I’m always on hold. But I’m not alone. I’m not alone. No I’m not alone.
It doesn’t matter anymore. It doesn’t matter anymore. It doesn’t matter anymore. I am my own opponent, I’m always on hold. But I’m not alone. It doesn’t matter anymore. I’m not alone. No I’m not alone

I don’t care if you don’t listen to my song. And I don’t mind if I’m singing for myself. All my thoughts, tell me where do they belong? They’re like trinkets, just put ‘em on your shelf. I’m still drawing ugly faces on the wall, to be sure that someone’s looking. And you don’t even seem to care about me at all, you just eat what they are cooking. And so I’m raving ‘bout myself, while you count trinkets on your shelf. It’s the best song that I’ve ever heard, makes the second best become the third. I’m only raving ‘bout myself, while you count trinkets on your shelf. Don’t mind if you don’t hear my song - we’re right there where we all belong.

If You Could See Me Now

It’s a race we all must run, like the circles ‘round the sun, until it’s time for us to go. In the branches of the oak, beneath the covert of this cloak, hidden away from all the woe. If you could see me now. If you could hear me somehow, on this godforsaken bough.
There’s no need to cure my ills. I’m sweetening the pills, I’m sure they’re gonna make things hum. The blue one’s for the night, and the red one? Well it might be for the never-ending days to come. If you could see me now. If you could hear me somehow, on this godforsaken bough. I know I’ll never bend, so I might break in the end. But it won’t matter, anyhow.

There was a bird singing along, and no one was listening. Yeah nobody heard that beautiful song, that he was a-whistling. A song for nothing and for no one, but a tree all deaf and blind. Well loneliness is just a state of mind.
There is a tree up on the hill, he will remember. That tweedlee dee - it’s echoing still - growing so tender. A song for nothing and for no one, but a tree all deaf and blind. Well loneliness is just a state of mind.
A song for nothing and for no one, but a tree all deaf and blind. Well loneliness is just a state of mind. He came here out of nowhere, just to leave his song behind. And sang for no one out there: “Loneliness is just a state of mind.”
