In the Passing Light of Day

I was born in this building It was the first Tuesday I had ever seen And if I live to see tomorrow It will be my Tuesday number: 2119 How life has its way of turning your best suits the wrong way As if to smile and say: "I feast on the irony my friend I'm come-what-may And it might just be, my friend That this is your unlucky day Will you change? What would you give to stay?" Will I change? I honestly can't say I have no promises to trade For the Lord of come-what-may To provide me with another day Every promise that I make Is a promise I might break The things we humans say to survive The promises we make The lies we tell The vows we take The battles we all win to survive Prices we will pay Though we all know We will lose one day Life is a ride, they say But there are tickets I will never pay I'm afraid there'll be no vow today For any God of come-what-may You let me live You let me die For what I am right here and now Nothing more than all I am today I close my eyes... I do not pray Promises, they tempt me too Will I change? I won't be that fool Maybe for a day, a week Maybe two I'm a dreamer physicist A manchild escapist The face of death won't make me an evangelist I close my hands Not in prayer Not in prayer Into fists I lost the will The things we humans say to survive The promises we make The lies we tell The vows we take The battles we all win to survive Prices we will pay Though we will lose Either way (x3) I lost the will I lost the way I haven't lost the faith It's just lost in me I lost the will... The things that we must say To pretend This passing light of day Is not the end Is not the end The things That we all say To be saved The things that we will trade Just give away For one more day We'll smile and tell Sweet lies To chase away The shadows that play Cast By the passing light of day

I cry in the shower And smile in the bed I cry in the shower And smile in the bed I cry in the shower And smile in the bed I cry in the shower And smile in the bed "Don't be afraid" I hear people say As if it will let me live If I'm just brave Then the clouds of death Would simply draw away (I cry in the shower And smile in the bed) The things that the living tell The not dead If you only heard them As they sound in my head If you only heard them From this bed What's on your mind, God? Spit it out! Tongue of God Lip my grin Run your tip over my back skin I'm not your kissing kin Tongue of God Lick me clean on the inside We were never kissing kin God loves a jester God loves a joke God loves a jester God loves a joke I may be stubborn and headstrong But you know I mean well Too demanding to call up But too good for Hell So if you don't love me I might still be OK Still have enough spine to serve a punchline What's on your tongue, God? Spit it out What's that in your mouth? Spit! It! Out! Tongue of God Lip my grin Run your tip over my back skin I'm not your kissing kin Tongue of God Lash right in Lick me clean on the inside We were never kissing Tongue of God Lip my grin Run your tip over my back skin I'm not your kissing kin Tongue of God Lash right in Lick me clean on the inside We were never kissing kin I cry in the shower And smile in the bed I cry in the shower And smile in the bed I die in the shower I live in the bed I cry in the shower I scream in my head

I still smell of sweat Still the scent of my giving in Try to feel regret But I want it to stay on my skin I still fantasize Close my eyes to be wrong again Still those fuck-me eyes As I'm licking the palm of my hand (x2) How the hell am I supposed to keep myself When you are so damn far away? And everything feels meaningless And I am not mine I still smell of sex Still her taste on my fingertips Try to feel remorse But it's hard with her wet on my lips (x2) How the hell am I supposed to keep myself When you are so damn far away? And everything feels meaningless And I am not mine I need something of my own Something with a locked door A room just for me alone Something that I can control I need something of my own I need something cutting to the bone I need something that is mine If that must be guilt, then fine (How the hell) I wanted something nice, but fine This guilt is a hole but it's mine I wanted something nice This guilt is a hole but it's mine!

Push me over Make me shiver You're my cover Let your river flow Flow Flow going high and low Leave me open Leave me fretless Peel my cold skin Make me reckless Run Run Run for the morning sun Baby, wrap me in your silent gold Let the saddest story be untold Baby, anywhere you go Anything you do Is home Is gold Take my body Make it holy As once you asked me, baby "How do you roll with God?" God? God is what we do now (x2) Baby, wrap me in your silent gold Let the saddest story be untold Baby, anywhere you go Anything you do Is home Is gold

I never signed onto this mankind No color, race or creed felt truly mine Never had a country or a flag And never had a culture, kin or kind I could never really belong Too loud Too wild Too silent or too shy Too everything is what defines my mind I've throttled back I've dialed myself down I'm done with that I built myself a sun Will you follow me? Will you follow me? This will be my tribe, my family This will be my flag and nation This will be my creed, my legacy Will you follow me? This will be my tribe, my family This will be my generation This will be my life, my legacy Will you follow me? With me, I promise you will see Things that your friends never get to see I'll be too much There will be no enough But we'll set the flame to everything we touch I'll take it too far and drive it too hard We'll fall And find ourselves alone Down on red with no way to get home A reckless ride But it'll be worthwhile You'll remember it with longing and with pride Will you follow me? This will be my tribe, my family This will be my flag and nation This will be my creed, my legacy Will you follow me? This will be my tribe, my family This will be my flag and nation This will be my creed, my legacy Will you follow me? Out there People wait and cheer While I'm stuck here Behind this empty stare I turn the shower tap Turn it all the way up To burn this soul away I lost a dream today Lost thirty years today (x2) This has been my tribe, my family This has been my flag and nation This has been my creed, my legacy Will you follow me? Now it's only me This has been my tribe, my family This has been my generation This has been my life, my legacy Will you follow me?

Sheets of spotless white Voices fading out Thoughts are growing dim As my longest night begins A dry taste of morphine Fluorescent lights all gleam I'm stuck beneath my mind This isn't my night Fallen angels Spread your wings Take me from this World of broken things Fallen angels Let your wings take me From this bed of thoughts and dreams Even sleep is full of broken things I'm settling the score I have been here before Then I was in that door Just cursing the Fallen angels Spread your wings Fly me across the Seas of burning things Pills and needles Tears and stings Fallen angels Save me From these things Give me black Put nothing in my dreams

Some nights I just feel this need to run Some nights I just wanna burn to death just like the sun Some nights I just long to lose control Some nights I just wish for destiny to touch my soul It's the feeling that it's all Too safe and sound And I need something to shake me up Or strike me to the ground A storm to come And root me up And let me run To burn my wings or touch the sun So let me fly Just let me fall Just let it come I want to taste it all I wanna falter and fall I wanna run from civility The flags of morality Just go with the wild in me Regardless of nation, creed, or policy Just pulling you close to me Just peel off this thin skin of humanity Sometimes I feel The beast is the best in me It's not that I don't want what I have It's not that I ever want to make anybody sad It's not that I want to hurt myself…no But some things are better broken than left on the shelf It's the hunger and the restlessness that call A sweet vertigo of lust enticing me To take the fall So lock me up Just chain me down And build a wall Destroy the wolf and break his crown Just file his claws and pull his teeth 'Cause when I'm free I'm gonna taste you all I'm gonna falter and fall I wanna give up my dignity Give in to iniquity Sleep with my enemy Explode like a sun and become pure gravity Just pulling you into me It takes everything to refill me Sometimes I feel The beast gets the best of me The beast gets the best of me And don’t think too much about the ones who’ll burn Every Icarus has had his chance to turn To burn To run To fall To fall To turn It's not for everyone To touch the sun You must let them fly Just let the wild ones run Just stay safely on the ground Just give me all I'll give you more Just let me roam Unlock the door Release the beast Just set me free Cover your eyes!

Is there something of my own? Will I lock the door? Is there something I can finally taken control of? Is there something cutting to the bone? Is there something cutting to my bone? Oh! Cutting to my bone? Ahhh! God! God! Ahhh! Ooohh! Ohhh!

Though life has worn us down Through sun and rain Your eyes are still the same Deep blue against all grey "Love, don't be afraid" They seem to say "I'll be here for you all the way My lover My best friend" Do you remember us? That first January? You had just turned nineteen And I was to be twenty We fed on politics and poetry Two children fueled by unbroken dreams You're watching me slowly slip away Like the passing light of day Watching the colors turn to grey Like the passing light of day The passing light of day Better burn out, they say Then fade away Some candles last an hour And others one full day But I, I wanna be like the sun That steady flame that burns on And on And still... You're watching me slowly slip away Like the passing light of day We're watching the colors turning grey In the passing light... A lifetime since we met That January Two young kids feeding on politics And poetry Running on dreams (Ending theme...) Empires have fallen Nations have been born The heroes of our childhood Dead, forgotten, or gone But we still stand All those times that I went away All those times that I couldn't stay Wish that I could give them back Wish that I could give them back All those times that I failed on you All those times that I turned on you Wish that I could take them back Wish that I could take them back Cos all those times are still here today All those times they still hurt today All those moments return today All those times of "Another day" You're watching me slowly slip away Like the passing light of day Watching our colors turning grey Like the passing light of day I need something new If I could start anew Would it be the same? I need something new To feel whole again (If I only knew) I will see this through I need something new Take me home again (If I only knew) All those people who worried us All those things that were hurting us None of that can reach me now None of that can reach me now All the darkness we thought about All those things that we fought about None of that can touch me now None of that can touch me now Cos that matters is here today All the thoughts that I think today Every word that we say today Every second alive today We're all burning out, fading away Like the passing light of day We are watching the colors turning grey In the passing light of day We may wish we could run Just walk away From this passing light of day But at some point we needed to stop And say It's OK It's OK "My love, don't be afraid" I hear you say "I'll be here for you all the way" And I just wish that I could smile and say: “Baby, hey I'm in too much pain to feel afraid My lover My best friend" Lover Best friend I'm watching it slowly slip away Like the passing light of day Watching the colors turning gray In the passing light of day And although I wish That I could stay It somehow strangely feels OK It is what it is I'll find my way Through this passing light...
