You ask me these questions I've asked myself for years After all this to find This savior of mine a peer Down dangled cord of feather as the bellows of Jacob sung Bidded, I climb each tattered rung! Is this home? Is this heaven's gift to man? Make me a child, rid me a father, rid me a man! To emerge from this flesh, to be born To violate law, to be unplanned Why me? Fresh-faced, bright-eyed, a believer A follower of yours beaten to the ground Her blouse fell to the floor before she could let out her roar I stumbled upon this universe It's catered and fit for me Its beauty I'm yet to see Is this home? Is this heaven's gift to man? I said man! Blood and puss coat these walls, and I'm ripped out with a glove Was I plucked out by the one above, or just a product of this rape? What is this place you call my home? You call this my home, what is this place...father?!

He will die She doesn't know yet He wants no lies Have not a friend, more than that which I deserve? I was defied, woken from my celestial bed I was a martyr inside my head Banish me to here! He will die She doesn't know what he'll become It's quiet, it's easy if you don't believe... and you won't, trust me Pious servant, so sure you banished me to here! Know my tale, my scripture, my war The boy is dead! Now you know, now we know The boy is dead, but his limbs still grow A man is here, taunted and tested The simplest of childhoods? "God plays with his best!" Life's little pleasures like shuffling in sand The gift of a soul left youth contraband This voice of a stranger known better than my own His bidding and judgement left me overthrown

Like awakening from some lonesome rift These bones know not of friendship I'm a pilferer, no I'm not, I'm a liar Just show my name lit up in lights! So take a glimpse and have a peer at the pressure on this humble man Hear the smashes of glass, hear the shackles bind him to the flashing van It's a feeling that's inside, a mutuality to find If this is what one really is, Mother was right Save your prayers for me: a petty thief, a vagabond And now to find a friend If I am how he made me, a crowned jewel, a baby in a golden basket, I'm an angel without wings! Find my friend Like a pigeon to the plague, my mind already made Just a virgin boy so shy who fell at the sight of green eyes It's a feeling that's inside, a mutuality to find And if she closed her eyes, she'd see her angel lies in me Save your prayers for me: a petty thief, a vagabond And now to find a friend If I am how he made me, a caged fool, an arrow with no direction, I'm an angel without wings! Find my friend If you could turn to me, then we could share this all If you would turn to me, then we could share this all If you could turn to me, then we could share Lying under stars with you Lying on the sand with you Be my angel, show me I can feel We escaped my life, now this starts our war Be my wife, crash me on the shore Be the friend I never needed more, and make the son we'll never love more Save your prayers for me: a petty thief or your soulmate I'm an angel with his wings Found my friend! Release me from the cold and let me learn to love I live each day in shadows, you sad excuse for divinity! Let me...I finally found my friend

Fight or flight! Emotions I don't know about escaped my world, the one that fate paved out for me Guilt for leaving Mother, but her ways I can't defend She vested herself in him, for her life I would descend Where's he now? With what I see, the safety of my family It was but Mother and me, starved of a paternity And all I ever wanted was a woman by my side I think I've finally found her With what I see she looks fine to me Patiently, I visit home of yesteryears The fragile devout lady and her two-bit mountain sanctuary To sate my growing hunger, to assure her I'm still there With what I see, she doesn't even care With what I see, the safety of my family It was but Mother and me, starved of a paternity And all I ever wanted was a woman by my side I think I've finally found her With what I see she looks fine to me (x2)

Family, gather round This rustic trip was surely made for us To take life is precious, or so they say To make it is natural, to end it divine...or so they say Find your target, don't lose sight Grip the handle oh so tight Shoulders straight, and if done right, hunt your prey in full flight That is not the only way People make the choice to stay She didn't have that chance To hell with this, I pave my way! "And the helicopters circled in the sky as the family of three in the field sang a song that sounded a little something like this:" Two of us, two of us, two of us made one of him Three of us, three of us, three of us killed wolves and deer One of him, one of him, one of him made everything? Add it up! Find your target, don't lose sight Grip the handle oh so tight Shoulders straight, and if done right, hunt your prey in full flight That is not the only way People make the choice to stay Think of the son and think of the wife To hell with this, I pave my way! I'm sorry, my son, for leaving my wife Blame it on him, blame it on me She opened our tent to find me being divine, and as quick as she came, she turned the blind eye I'm sorry, my son, for leaving this life You'll thank me for this Your forehead I kiss So I'm taking both barrels They're on my back now I was no prize game, but I'll lay on the pack Jabbed into my ribs, shoot through the bile Just another beast on the pile

Transcends the known realm like angels birthed from hell Life takes you by the helm Myself, my soul you dwell It's yearning to see the light of day Because of you, I'm willing to fight to show that I love you They say all is fair in love and war Even in Heaven, no one exceeds, not even meets all that is you Match made to compliment Assailed by you, I fell Our limits I resent Of relished fears you tell It's yearning to see the light of day Because of you, I'm willing to fight to show that I love you They say all is fair in love and war Even in Heaven, no one exceeds You wear my heart on your sleeve Its weight you will relieve Risk brings reward, so share our common fool I only ever had eyes for you! Every night in my dreams, I see you there, blinding my light It's yearning to see the light of day Heaven, I'm willing to fight to show that I love you They say all is fair in love and war (They say all is fair) Even in Heaven, no one exceeds, not even meets all that is you It's yearning to see the light of day Because of you (because of you), I'm willing to fight to show that I love you They say all is fair in love and war (They say all is fair) Even in Heaven, no one exceeds, not even meets, even in Heaven

I was born and raised, not the ideal son Simply life's caesarian, a scar that's left to heal The end's the only way I'd learned how all move on, but if nothing's really there... It's haunting me Is this all I'll be? (Haunting me) Old, alone, cold and scared Is this all I am? Haunt me Torn from the skin of a woman without sin Only left to be this hollow shell And if death is not the end, I'll be with her again with nothing left to see... It's haunting me! Is this all I'll be? (Haunting me) Old, alone, cold and scared Is this all I am? Haunt me, haunt me It's haunting me! Is this all I'll be? Old, alone Is this all I am? Haunt me, haunt me It's haunting me!

Divine... Welcome home, it smells nice I remember the scent of the gardens you planted here I was the seed planted in the flesh of old Where is my mother? I'm meeting her here It's yearning to see the light of day So answer me Was willing to die to show her your boy is here Show me the door to the holy place where divine fears are shed Welcome home, I've been here The walls are so reminiscent, the photo frames too Is my father here with us now? Oh no, that's not right! The purest and good die young I'm back to where I've begun It's yearning to see the light of day So answer me Was willing to die to show her your boy is here Show me the door to this holy place where divine children are led Meet my only true friends: Birth and Death! Certainty unfolds Goodbye life of old Son and wife were sold to have my questions answered Offered them a home, one that fit the mold Show my mother how I loved them! Just hope my prayers were answered What is divine? God only knows What's divine? God only knows! Why did she die, and why was I born? You gave me a friend, but it was too late Show me your face and answer for my life This life was synthetic, and that was your fatal flaw That was your fatal flaw Show me your face and answer for my life! This life was synthetic, and that was your fatal flaw I read of your looks in books I knew your voice so well Angels are perfect? A halo no match for a gun Welcome home, I grew up here The walls are so reminiscent, the photo frames too The pastures through the windows glisten My answer is here: a golden mirror baron in the greenest of fields It's yearning to see the light of day So welcome me Was willing to die to find out why is clear Why was I born on the earth? We're puppets left to bleed! Please come out to play I've already paved the way From this glance, a lonesome beam primes the inner one Reflection's cast, the mind to yield The face is me And from where I stand, this mirror before me With what I see, my synthetic destiny
