A Pain That I'm Used To
I'm not sure what I'm looking for anymore
I just know that I'm harder to console
I don't see who I'm trying to be instead of me
But the key is a question of control
Can you say what you're trying to play anyway?
I just pay while you're breaking all the rules
All the signs that I find have been underlined
Devils thrive on the drive that is
fuelled
All this running around
Well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true
There's a hole in your soul like an animal
With no conscience repentance unknown
Close your eyes pay the price for your paradise
Devils feed on the seeds of the soul
I can't conceal what I feel
What I know is real
No mistaken the faking I care
With a prayer in the air
I will leave it there
On a note full of hope not despair
All this running around
Well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true
All this running around
Well it's getting me down
Just give me a pain that I'm used to
I don't need to believe
All the dreams you conceive
You just need to achieve
Something that rings true

John The Revelator
John the Revelator
Put him in an elevator
Take him up to the highest high
Take him up to the top
Where the mountains stop
Let him tell his book of lies
John the Revelator
He's a smooth operator
It's time we cut him down to size
Take him by the hand
We'll put him on the stand
Let us hear his alibis
By claiming God
As his holy right
He's stealing a God
From the Israelite
Stealing a God
From the Muslim too
There is only one God
Through and through
Seven lies multiplied by seven
Multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator
He should bow his head in shame
By and by
By and by
By and by
By and by
Seven lies multiplied by seven
Multiplied by seven again
Seven angels with seven trumpets
Send them home on the morning train
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator
All he ever gives us is pain
Well who's that shouting?
John the Revelator
He should bow his head in shame
By and by
By and by
John the Revelator
By and by
John the Revelator
By and by
John the Revelator

Suffer Well
Where were you when I fell from grace?
A frozen heart
An empty space
Something's changed and it's in your eyes
Please don't speak
You'll only lie
I found treasure not where I thought
Piece of mind can't be bought
Still I believe
I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
It's hard to tell
An angel lead me when I was blind
I said "take me back, I've changed my mind"
Now I believe
From the blackest room I was torn
He called my name
A love was born
So I Believe
I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
It's hard to tell
I just hang on
Suffer well
Sometimes it's hard
So hard to tell

The Sinner In Me
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me
I'll never be a saint
That's not a picture that your memory paints
Not renowned for my patience
I'm not renowned for my restraint
But you're always around
You can always be found
To pick me up
When I'm on the ground
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me
I'm still recovering
Still getting over all the suffering
More known for my anger
Than for any other thing
But you've always tried
To be by my side
And catch my fall
When I start to slide
If I could just hide
The sinner inside
And keep him denied
How sweet life would be
If I could be free
From the sinner in me
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Precious
Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My god what have we done to you?
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through
Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If god has a master plan
That only he understands
I hope it's your eyes he's seeing through
Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your heart for two
Things get damaged
Things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken
Left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Macro
Overflowing senses
Hightened awareness
I hear my blood flow
I feel it's caress
Whispering cosmos
Talking right to me
Unlimited, endless
God breathing through me
See the microcosm
In macrovision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution
One creation
Thundering rhythm
Pounding within me
Driving me onward
Forcing me to see
Clear and enlightening
Right there before me
Brilliantly shining
Intricate beauty
See the microcosm
In macrovision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution
One creation
See the microcosm
In macrovision
Our bodies moving
With pure precision
One universal celebration
One evolution
One creation

I Want It All
I see a river
It's oceans that I want
You have to give me everything
Everything's not enough
It's my desire
To give myself to you
Sometimes
Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie
With you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die
It's true
Somewhere I find
Something that's kind
And I've crossed the line again
A line I drew in sand
Still you give me everything
And everything's not enough
I'm ready but not willing
To give myself to you
Sometimes
Sometimes I try
Sometimes I lie
With you
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I die
It's true
Somewhere I find
Something that's kind
Come on over
Lay down beside me
And I'll try
Come on over
Lay down beside me
And I'll try
And I'll try
I want it all
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Nothing's Impossible
Just give me a reason
Some kind of sign
I'll need a miracle
To help me this time
I heard what you said
And I feel the same
I know in my heart that
I have to change
Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first sight
Nothing's impossible
How did we get to be this far apart?
How did we get to be this far apart?
I want to be with you
Something to share
I want to be near you
I'm not there
Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first sight
Nothing's impossible
Even the stars look brighter tonight
Nothing's impossible
And if you believe in love at first sight
Nothing's impossible
I still believe in love at first sight
Nothing's impossible

Damaged People
We're damaged people
Drawn together
By subtleties that we are not aware of
Disturbed souls
Playing out forever
These games that we once thought we would be scared of
When you're in my arms
The world makes sense
There is no pretense
And you're crying
When you're by my side
There is no defense
I forget to sense
I'm dying
We're damaged people
Praying for something
That doesn't come from somewhere deep inside us
Depraved souls
Trusting in the one thing
The one thing that this life has not denied us
When I feel the warmth
Of your very soul
I forget I'm cold
And crying
When your lips touch mine
And I lose control
I forget I'm old
And dying

Lilian
Ahhah
Oh Lilian
Look what you've done
You stripped my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun
Oh Lilian
I'm a poorman's son
And precious jewels
Weren't found in schools
Where I came from
Pain and misery always hit the spot
Knowing you can't lose what you haven't got
Oh Lilian
I should have run
I should have known
Each dress you own
Is a loaded gun
Oh Lilian
Ahhah
Ahhah
Ahhah
Oh Lilian
I need protection
I hear your voice
And any choice I had is gone
Oh Lilian
Once I begun
I could've stopped
Til every drop
Of blood was
Sung
Pain and misery always hit the spot
Knowing you can't lose what you haven't got
Oh Lilian
Look what you've done
You stripped my heart
Ripped it apart
In the name of fun
Oh Lilian
Ahhah
Oh Lilian
Ahhah
Oh Lilian
Ahhah
Oh Lilian
Ahhah
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The Darkest Star
Oh you sad one
Playing the angel
It isn't so easy where you're from
Oh you wild one
Devil's companion
You won't stay satisfied for long
I don't want you to change
Anything you do
I don't want you to be
Someone else for me
Oh you dark one
Eternal outsider
Caught in the spider's web you've spun
Oh you blind one
Gentle and kind one
Seeing the world as a loaded gun
I don't want you to change
Anything you do
I don't want you to be
Someone else for me
Stay as you are
The darkest star
Shining for me
Majestically
