Acoustics
Yeah you come and you go like a breeze just as fast as you're able And the last thing that you would ever do is put your cards on the table The glow of the neon shows you're only spinning a fable I know what you are I know what you are Why does everywhere that you end up feel so crowded? Used to think you could find peace but you're starting to doubt it Tell me, if no one ever hears what you say then why don't you shout it? I know what you are I know what you are and it's scaring me to death I heard you speak aloud your secret shibboleth All of the wisdom of the ancients won't change what's inside of you You can close your eyes but that's not gonna take away the view I know what you are

You love the taste of wine more than the stars will shine You start feeling fine again while my heart is breaking You tell me I'm a fool to love you like I do You've lost your mind. I've lost my patience Everything you've done while you were having fun Everything you said is ringing in my head No matter where you are you take it all too far No matter what you do I won't be there for you Then you discover lust and you break your lover's trust Your gold begins to rust. This is the bed you're making And then you tell me I'm a fool to love you like I do You've lost your mind again. I've lost my patience

You've taken all that you can take. Time marches on again You've broken all that you can break. Time marches on again Spoken to those who would listen Taken from those who would give their attention You quoted Ecclesiastes and you brought all our hope to its knees Ashes to ashes and dust to dust You just keep on hating the whole world if you must If you think that's just Take up that stone and feel its weight. Time marches on again Cry out, "Throw first before it's too late!" Time marches on again Run to the shelter of sarcasm and the shield of permanent grin Wrapped in your cloak of superiority so thick That none of that shit can get in Ashes to ashes and dust to dust You just keep on hating the whole world if you must Yes everything peaceful and everyone old and gray Anyone who dares preach love and any kind word I say And any thought of a future that just might be worth looking for I watch you snicker and label it useless I was once you before. I walked out that door You've taken all that you can take. Time marches on again You've broken all that you can break. Time marches on again

Looking back across the years On a million un-shed tears How could i have held them all Oh the price that i have paid For all the love i never made Someone wrote upon the wall "How mighty is my pen If this is everywhere it's been." Yes the wine's delicious But I'm needing something stronger. I'm growing suspicious That I won't be here much longer. And it feels like I'm goin' down again Feels like I lost my only friend. Crawling home from some saloon And all my strings are out of tune. No one's around to break my fall. No attempt was ever made And so I slowly decay. Just have a little faith in me that's all. Oh how mighty am I then If this is everywhere I've been. As the day-light broke I cast no shadow on the wall I will desinigrate until there's nothing left at all. And it feels like I'm goin' down again. Feels like I lost my only friend. And I never thought I'd see the day My heroes all became psychotics. My drugs are all expensive exotics. Now my blood is thick with antibiotics. So I toss the coin to fate, it's only right. And I take no blame so I can sleep so tight. You know that out of mind is also out of sight. As the day-light broke I cast no shadow on the wall. I pass the closed apartment doors And rows along the halls. And it feels like I'm goin' down again. Feels like I lost my only friend.

Rain was falling when I woke up today Making liquid shadows on the walls I watch you dreams flutter across your face Why am I always going away? All the chemicals in my brain. All this pleasure and all this pain. The meaning I seek in the end is coming back to you again Hope nothing changes when I walk in the room Hope no one sees the loneliness in my face How can there be so much solitude In such a crowded place? All these chemicals in my brain. There is pleasure and all this pain. The meaning I seek in the end is coming back to you again

The Golden Age of happiness behind us Now we see the vultures on the wing All the ancient songs of hope always remind us So we all tune in to hear our leaders sing And we know the words to sing because they told us But the generals and the billionaires all know We'll be buried under the dead land they sold us And there's always something wrong still we sing along How could we all be so wrong? Still we sing along It's a poison communion we're all receiving While the families of the victims write the books And there might just be one word that's worth believing When the people give their leaders wicked looks And we know the words to sing because they told us But the generals and the billionaires all know We'll be buried under the dead land they sold us And there's always something wrong still we sing along How could we all be so wrong? Still we sing along

I always accepted that you'd be better than all of this I never made promises I couldn't keep As you stood before me deciding that I was an open book Something made you think you'd read all my dirty little pages Cover and all Is my apology accepted for all the whiskey that ended up in your face? I never really was much of a diplomat Now as you lay before me deciding that I am an open book One never knows when an unforseen mood could take over and darken my eyes Oh I could fall on my knees and I could learn to beg But I will not repent for nothing No matter what you say or what you said I make my own bed I always accepted you'd be better than all of this

Check it out. Guess I'm invisible I guess I'm invisible today I guess that you'll be seeing me around Spend your nights alone without a sound I guess that I'm invisible today I only need to know if you're okay So many people come and go this way I guess that I'm invisible today

If you can't break the rules, don't play the game The silence that you crave will come around too often When you're the only one whose left to blame You gather up the baggage for your coffin And in the bright lights of the restaurant where nothing seems to fade You can feel the crushing weight of all the promises you made That can't be true The stranger on the highway seems to show Desire to move on in one direction Trouble is you've got no place to go Still somehow you know there's a connection And in the headlights of the passing cars the fear all fades away An Eastern glow directs you to the coming of the day t T hat's meant for you The sounds from all around they tell the story The game is played the choice you made you're bound for glory If you can't break the rules, don't play the game The silence that you crave will come around too often When you're the only one whose left to blame You gather up the baggage for your coffin And in the bright lights of the restaurant where nothing seems to fade You can feel the crushing weight of all the promises you made In that passing second the future will change Your crocodile tears are now real and it's strange How all that you wanted is all that you hold Your muscular grip on it all has grown suddenly, hopelessly cold

I dreamed I saw the ocean and you upon the shore I knew you were waiting to feel something more I said, "All of this is ours my love. Come and swim into my stars my love." And we walked into the joint like we owned the place And we learned to hold our heads up high in disgrace Laughing from the power lines, racing through the landmines Never a moment of doubt, dancing through the slaughterhouse Stumbling through pleasures much too fast White knuckle that golden and strychnine past Youth is just a treasure that won't last We recklessly ran, so much stronger than The places we'd gone or the waves we rode upon And we shined on despite all the laws And we poured our guts into the cause And we learned all that burns cannot last Stumbling through our borders much too fast White knuckle that golden and strychnine past Youth is just a torture that won't last Stumbling through pleasures much too fast White knuckle that golden and strychnine past Youth is one of many tortures that won't last

So what's left to say? By now all words have been spoken What is there to do? Everything has already been done Who should I fight? Everyone's been defeated What should I sing? By now it's already been sung. Seems no matter how hard I try, I can't belong These molds that I try to break, they are too strong Life cannot always be wine, women and song Seems no matter how hard I try I'm always wrong Make your mistakes, but steer clear of the brakes Godspeed to another world A search on the wing is a dangerous thing If you shift your focus to another world Take heed, watch what you seek Everything's here, in other words Who should I love? Is there only one answer? Where is there to go, when we've been everywhere? Looking to get out, looking to get in and I'm caught between one or the other Falling to pieces, all I believe in swirling down the drain Make your mistakes, but steer clear of the brakes Godspeed to another world A search on the wing is a dangerous thing If you shift your focus to another world Take heed, watch what you seek Everything's here, in other words

The dazzling light that you're always emitting Leaves me blind and breathless on my back The sentence for the crime that I'm committing Is to need only the one thing that I lack And I love you still, and I always will, Evangeline Nothing is as it seems when I'm living in your dreams, Evangeline A Western sun pulls us along as we glide Town to town, we hope no more to roam There is an ache I know will only subside When I lay down next to you back home And I love you still, and I always will, Evangeline Nothing is as it seems when I'm living in your dreams, Evangeline My fever broke and I awoke wishing for you by my side You said if wishes were horses then beggars like me would ride And I love you still, and I always will, Evangeline
