The Acoustic Verses

Maybe, dreams apart You're visual for all Maybe another time You're more than air In another state of mind You're still dancing In another state of mind No need to be afraid You're not visual for all No need to hide You're no more than air In another state of mind You're still dancing In another state of mind [You're there]

From childhood's hour I have not been As others were - I have not seen As others saw - I could not bring My passions from a common spring From the same source I have not taken My sorrow - I could not awaken My heart to joy at the same tone And all I loved - I loved alone Then, in my childhood - in the dawn Of a most stormy life - was drawn From every depth of good and ill The mystery which binds me still From the torrent, or the fountain From the red cliff of the mountain From the sun that 'round me rolled In its autumn tint of gold From the lightning in the sky As it passed me flying by From the thunder, and the storm And the cloud that took the form When the rest of Heaven was blue Of a demon in my view...

Part I - My Greater Cause as I ran down the street all the faces appeared to me one by one by the fifth I took a sudden turn the melting snow revealed the bodies buried long ago all the violence a man can take the broken bones, and broken homes beneath my feet on the dark side we'll meet again and cook it up for one more dance it's who we are but I swear it'll be my last and if I go, I go alone in the eyes of the elephant nothing's too big and no one proves you wrong but the kind they had to offer didn't do me good it barely cracked the softer shell on the dark side we'll meet again and cook it up for one more dance it's who we are but I swear it'll be my last and if I go, I go alone yes I failed and I can't go back I'm wasted beyond my years and I breath just to let it go all that I wanted was to slip away for a little while 'cause I felt alone and I couldn't keep up with the world Part II - Home Coming [instrumental] Part III - House of Cards where am I? they're all gone all is black and white I think I have passed on all so warm all so calm all these worries shutting down something's wrong something's wrong is it really you? a moment of and they're all gone if I could close my eyes I'm sure I'd disappear here they come pulling me up from the mud I've failed yet I'm holding on here they come I'm hiding in vain my shadow and I in our house of cards never did I question myself for the truth there never was a greater cause never did I open my eyes for you but there it was my greater cause here they come pulling me up from the mud I've failed yet I'm holding on here they come I'm hiding in vain my shadow and I in our house of cards

Sun setting on a sweet summers day The sound of children playing a wicked game Leaving stains, on the soul Twilight crawled across the sky Did anyone say goodbye? Did anyone see you? The playground is empty now The game is over Lying on my back The Game Is Over

Hear that something, a pale and misty sound The more things change, the more they stay the same Heading out in High Tide Waves Not afraid to fall, I'm older now, I'm standing tall I'm holding head above water Ain't going down I'm holding head above water Ain't gonna drown, ain't gonna drown I'm holding head above water Can't hold me tied I'm holding head above water You can't break me... shredded pieces I've spoken different words, a grey soar voice Different lines, remains the same Heading out in High Tide Waves Not afraid to fall, I'm older now, still standing tall On this quest for answers, shaped my eyes Without anger, wasted lines Can't you sense this feeling, feel it flow I am stronger now, I've let the tension go I'm holding head above water Ain't going down I'm holding head above water Ain't gonna drown, ain't gonna drown I'm holding head above water Can't hold me tied I'm holding head above water You can't break me... shredded pieces
