In the aftermath of an afterthought we come to terms In a moment no hostile termination Just reflection on the facts (on the facts) (as I see them) All that I, all that I have tried to do is be honest with myself (yeah) Now my agenda is shifting focus Running against the tide of time In an ocean of complexity and confusion In the afterimage I've created for myself In my afterlife - I've come of age A generation late - my essence and my rage A state of being here - my spirit soars After time - after more Laughter in the left field Hanging on the ledge of what is real I think it's gonna be all right And I know you hear me 'Cause we're not that far apart Now that I can see beyond myself Last trip on a strange, strange ride Every head a big world inside Hey, it's my turn Jawbreaker - jawbone When the truth is finally shown Now that I can see beyond myself Now the truth is stranger than fiction In my revolution of resistance (now that I, now that I can see) In a manic manipulation only contradictions follow No exoneration in my afterimage I've created.... In my afterlife - I've come of age A generation late - my essence and my rage A state of being here - my spirit soars After time - after more In my afterlife - a soul of years Beyond the frame of man The boundaries and the years In my afterlife the language grows Feast on purpose - afterglow

Sometimes life can be so damn cold When the verdicts in The streets were alive The night falling down around On the prowl again Catlike moves The pain betrays the smile Delicate and sad A rage of tears subsides Reality fades into the mask Then the hunger takes control Once the hunted in for the kill No one came, no one saw On the night that Venice Burned Tortured souls, they set the sky alight And don't ever say a word Familiar hands fanned the flames That would burn baptismal tears Where to go it's all come down Only silence Venice Burned Only silence Venice Burned In the shadows In the face of trust In a piercing blow Spills the soul of an innocent heart no one came, no one saw On the night that Venice Burned Embers glow and eyes soon fade And the circle starts again So set them up, knock them down As the smoke begins to rise Where to go, it's all come down Only silence Venice burned Only silence Venice burned Darkened room Late at night I slip in nice and quiet I feel the cold Dark secrets here unfold Where that cat digs it's claws At the alter of scars I taste the cold The shrine of a twisted soul Lost my will when I saw Vengeance on the wall No one came, no one saw On the night that Venice Burned Innocence reduced to filth That can never wasy away So stoke the flames Bare the flesh Let the branding leave it's mark The spark of youth Engulfed and smothered out Only ashes Venice Burned Only ashes Venice Burned I must I've got to hold I'm holding on Watching Venice Burning Watching Venice Burning Watching Venice Burning Watching Venice Burning

I look as though I've died I loathe my life I can't believe my mind Oh the pain The pictures tell it all Wretchedly depraved Cast reason to the wind Fires all I see The mirror shattering Someone avenge for me The child who died inside Water come over me Until the flames subside I see I see through you The devil there Consumed your bitter soul And left destruction in it's wake Your eyes they tell me all All the guilt you bear My confidant and friend You betrayed the trust Smashed forever more Someone avenge for me The child who died inside Water come over me Until the flames subside Venomous fury builds Let's hang the traitor high You're not alone in your sin We're all the same But you didn't break the chain And rise above Goodbye my friend Moments such as this Are what defines a man When the curtains finally close All we're left with is blood We must fight for the blood There's nothing else More worth standing up for I swam in the vengeance of The child who died inside Water came over me But couldn't still the knife Until you feel my pain You'll never realize Mercy wash over me And grant me stay this night It's so unreal The cruelty of fate It's so unreal The sorrow of fate

The world has turned me upside down again And put me back right where I started from I could have sworn, that I was fastened in But you've broken me, now look what I've become When innocence was all that I embraced How is it that I fell from your grace And I'm still Falling Falling I'm still falling Falling I'm still falling So obvious, yet I can't define A gentle kiss, has never felt so wrong You say you are, but you were never mine I know you're here, But somehow your heart is gone When the smoke had cleared And I knew what was true How is it that I still fell for you And I'm still Falling Falling Feel like I'm still falling Falling Falling Falling I'm still falling Falling Feel like I'm still falling Falling I'm still falling Falling Feel like I'm still falling

Intoxicate my life Keep wanting more Never away from me Now I feel it's over Still I can't let go Feel the colds colder I'm laying down It washes over me The only time I feel alive The cravings never end Please come again Take what you want from me Drifting there again Here I lose my way As it slowly invades me I know I'll never feel the same way No complicated moods today I know I should leave you But I can't resist you If you touched them Then they'd understand If they gave you a try Know the reasons why I Love this Stranger More than all of them Now I'm with God again Just you and me my friend I know You'll never leave my side My body simply slips away They say I should leave you But they've never met you If you touched them Then they'll understand If they gave you a try Know the reasons why I Love a Stranger More than I love them

A thousand years of sleep I've missed the rising sun Wish I could change this Always the same With each one, every night I'd watch as the light Slowly fades from their eyes Ohh so long Long ago What he took Then gave to me There is no end It's not what I thought it'd be Left drained felt impaired The eyes drew me inside Hypnotic waltz from his stare Letting go Ohh I still love With the night will arrive The cobblestones Light misty air The brief carress Our sweet affair Ohh so long Long ago I was just like any of you A Simple Man There was nothing I could do But I've grown so tired There's no need to hold on If you hear me Just wanna be Be the man I was Please believe If I could I would change One thousand years And still I am Looking like the day This all began Ohh so long Long ago What he took Then gave to me Take it back And give back the man in me I'm going on my way I'm going where there's no desire Goin on where I'll stay higher than now I want what you have taken My life has been forsaken Many nights I lay torn I'm breaking down Why all this began What's there to care for Fade away

I think I have lost my mind I need to find an out Trippin in my head All the time At peace inside this holy place I wish I could believe Still I pray this God Comes to me Gave me reasons Gave me ways To face another day A place where I could Just hang out in Took all that you gave Cause I Knew your little schemes This won't bring me any Closer to Him Wanna change all this Help me see not guess Save me Don't let me Just fall Help me walk back to You I want all You treasure It's pleasure All that it can do Won't You change all this Ready to confess Save me Don't let me Just fall Won't You tell me the truth I've asked Myself why Guess it's faith Giving purpose to You Save me Don't let me fall Show me The truth that's all

She can do anything What does she see in me I wouldn't change a thing I no longer feel so empty So I'm listening No words that I can hear But I'm seeing For the first time things are clear But I'd still like to know What do I do for you Wanna be a part of me Take all you see Anything of me I've been in love And I held on to it's bliss Never realized That this kind of love exists So I'm listening Your words are what I hear You have shown me It's so simple when your near I've been in love And I hold on to it's bliss Now I realize That this kind of love exists I'm listening For the first, for the first time

Familiar story on my tv screen Different faces, but it's all the same old thing I know all the lines to every single scene And if I stare too long I might even see me Remote control Say it isn't so Get me out of here I don't want to know How our story goes Tell me how it ends Cause I don't understand Would you fill me in Tell me how it ends Hearing all the words you never said I'm entertaining fiction in my head You've caged the bird, the one that's meant the fly You're gonna leave him there and watch him slowly die I'm not the one You want in your re-run Get me out of here I don't want to know How our story goes Tell me how it ends Cause I don't understand Would you fill me in Tell me how it ends Teardrops In the doorway So close to me But so far away Thought I knew you Thought I knew me Gotta let go I'm sorry Lord, be the eyes for me Cause I can't see beyond today Poisoned by the words she wrote I'm searching for that Antidote to save me To save me I don't want to know How our story goes Tell me how it ends Cause I don't understand Would you fill me in Tell me how it ends I don't want to know How our story goes Tell me how it ends Cause I don't understand Would you fill me in Tell me how it ends
