You say you love me
You say you hate me
How can I know who’s who
A war of words can’t cut right thru it
To lay bare the truth
You can’t be who you say are
I can’t believe that it’s you
A motherless child is what we are
And I can’t tell who is who
A girl, we loved her like no other
Where is the one I know
The one who loved me
Would die for me
But now can’t find her soul
You can’t be who you say who are
I can’t believe that it’s you
A motherless child is what we are
And I can’t tell who is who
Can you hear me knockin’
Open your door
I’ve been here beside you
What are you waiting for
You say you love me
You say you hate me
How can I know who’s who
A war of words can’t
Cut right thru it
To lay bare the truth
You can’t be who you say are
I can’t believe that it’s you
A motherless child is what we are
And I can’t tell who is who

I know you have tried to
Keep ‘em all blind and fearin’
Fought so hard to win hearts
Only to betray ‘n’ mislead ‘em
I can see what you’ve done
Keep ‘em all in a glass ceilin’
To know what you have sunk to
Keep ‘em all chained ‘n’ unfeelin’
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We’re climbin’ up yr mountain
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We’ll knock you from yr mountain
I know you have tried to
Keep ‘em all blind and fearin’
Fought so hard to win hearts
Only to betray ‘n’ mislead ‘em
War to war is what have you
Done to keep ‘em all from seein’
Blood for blood is yr way to
Feed the machine yr steerin’
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We’re climbin’ up yr mountain
Yeah, yeah, yeah
We’ll knock you from yr mountain

All Is Burning
03:47

I looked into the one
I looked into the funeral pyre
These visions came to me
What is the all that is on fire
All to see myself
All to look inside
All my senses burning
Wakened by a fire
I gazed upon the three
Poisons that have since poisoned me
These visions burn so strong
A nobleman can do no wrong
All to see myself
All to look inside
All my senses burning
Wakened by a fire
Oh the burn of hate
Oh the burn of greed
Oh the burn of ego
Flames consuming me
I looked in my heart and all I saw was all my senses on fire
All is burning now and nothing can stop a heart that is on fire

I did not hear a sound
We were so lost unfound
I forgot how to feel again
To come into this world
With a heart that’s burned
I could not see how to feel again
Ooo baby
Can’t you see
This world ain’t so empty without you and me
Oh, sister
I thought you knew
Worlds don’t begin and end with you
What did we think we found
Some kind of hallowed ground
To work thru all this misery
To see what could have been
But so much pain within
Moving past this great mystery
Ooo baby
Can’t you see
This world ain’t so empty without you and me
Oh, sister
I thought you knew
Worlds don’t begin and end with you
I thought that if I took you back in my arms we’d be right again
But then I realized that this was all wrong we must come to an end
I did not hear a sound
We were so lost unfound
I forgot how to feel again
To come into this world
With a heart that’s burned
I could not see how to feel again
Ooo baby
Can’t you see
This world ain’t so empty without you and me
Oh, sister
I thought you knew
Worlds don’t begin and end with you

Wayward Son
03:52
|

|
All the years I thought I knew where these roads led too
Always looking back on tomorrow, but never thinking of you
I’ve wandered so far but have somehow missed so much
Gained at the cost of virtue and lost a soul to touch
I wouldn’t mind for you to come and take me with you through this life...
More than ever have I felt this way
A disconnect from reality
Lost within our betrayals
In my mind I’m Icarus in flight
Soaring higher than ever
Falling from heavenly heights
I wouldn’t mind for you to come and take me with you through this life
Times...
I find it hard just to get up
To face the world without my crutch
To look into their eyes
You ...
You’ve come along and you showed me how
To rise above all that brings us down
I look into your eyes...
I hope someday that we will find a way that is true
To see me and you
As something new
All those years I wasted as a lost and wandering fool
Never looking for you
Never thinking of you
I wouldn’t mind for you to come and take me with you through this life

O, child of nature, beauty and light
Time has now come for you to look inside
Om Namah Shivaya
Loving in kindness, compassion in life
That what awaits you will release your light
Om Namah Shivaya
It rises before you, let it all in
O, child of nature, this where you begin
Om Namah Shivaya
O, child of nature, all space will arise
The sound of your nature in blue light
Om Namah Shivaya

Living For Something
02:53

All that you are is what you have been givin’
I’m not the one to stop you from sinnin’
Poor boy, where have you run too
What did we do to ever hurt you
There must something in life that’s worth livin’
Think of the love that we were all given
Hard times may come but they won’t take you
Remember all of the good that’s within you
I can’t be the one to make you see the light of day
It’s all within you
This I pray...
Darkness above when you left the city
Sun gave no more, the moon it gave pity
Poor boy, where have you run too
What did we do to ever hurt you
I can’t be the one to make you see the light of day
It’s all within you
This I pray
That someday...

Three Poisons
03:55
|
|||
|
All your fear has finally found you
All you’ve reaped is now what you have sown
Poisoned by your sense of being
Blinded by your need for control
I can see what you have become
I can hear your fear taking control
The three poisons have finally found you
Deluded you by hiding what you know
Confused by your lack of seeing
How your greed and hate have gained control
I can see what you have become
I can hear your fear taking control

Echo & The Machine
04:28
|
|||
|
Stand up, I know you could
Another hit won’t do no good
Out of heart and out of mind
Was there something that you left behind
Caught in the noise
Lost in-between
No one to turn to
But echo & machine
Try to feel, I know you could
Something more than misunderstood
Heart of old, a mind of time
Don’t give in to those serpentines
Caught in the noise
Lost in-between
No one to turn to
But echo & machine
In the dark these snakes rule all
Winding through their urban sprawls
Like a scarecrow waiting in vain
Moments pass like a speeding train
Caught in the noise
Lost in-between
No one to turn to
But echo & machine

Between The Lines
05:47

Do I ever feel the way I should
Content to be loved
Misunderstood
Why’s it so hard to try to smile
When I am with you thoughts collide
Where do we lie
Between the lines
I can only try to speak my mind
All that I’m feeling is hard to find
Do I ever follow the straight line
When I am with you words don’t hide
Where do we lie
Between the lines
I know these thoughts too well to just let them be
So many voices speaking inside of me
Do I ever feel the way I should
Content to be love
Misunderstood
Why’s it hard to try to smile
When I am with you thoughts collide
Where do we lie
Between the lines
I know these thoughts too well to just let them be
So many voices speaking inside of me
