    "It's Not You"

    You wear your smile
    Like it was going out of fashion
    Dress to inflame
    But douse any ideas of passion
    You carry your love in a trinket
    Hanging round your throat
    Always inviting
    Always exciting
    But I must not take off my coat

    Well I'm tired of hanging around
    I want somebody new
    I'm not sure who I've got in mind
    But I know
    That it's not you
    That it's not you

    You ask me questions
    That I never wanted to hear
    I am the only one
    Just until you finish this year
    I would murder you
    If I had the alibi
    Here in my hand
    And you just laugh
    'cause you don't understand

    That I'm tired of hanging around
    I want somebody new
    I'm not sure
    Who I've got in mind
    But I know that it's not you
    It's not you
    It's not you
    It's not you
    It's not you
    It's not you
    No it's not you
    That it's not you
    It's not you
    It's not you

    "This dream never ends", you said This feel never goes The time will never come to slip away "This wave never breaks", you said This sun never sets again These flowers will never fade
    "This world never stops", you said This wonder never leaves The time will never come to say, "Goodbye" "This tide never turns", you said This night never falls again These flowers will never die
    Never die, never die These flowers will never die, never die
    "This dream always ends", I said This feeling always goes The time always comes to slip away "This wave always breaks", I said This sun always sets again And these flowers will always fade
    "This world always stops", I said This wonder always leaves The time always comes to say, "Goodbye" "This tide always turns", I said This night always falls again And these flowers will always die
    Always die, always die These flowers will always die
    Between you and me it's hard to ever really know Who to trust? How to think? What to believe? Between me and you it's hard to ever really know Who to choose? How to feel? What to do?
    Never fade, never die You give me flowers of love Always fade, always die I let fall flowers of blood
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".

    You look like gold to me
    and I'm not too blind to see
    you look like gold

    you make me wanna sing
    with all the joy you bring
    you look like gold

    like the rays down from the sun
    when a new day has just begun
    you look like gold

    I've been fooled before
    but now I know
    I've made the mistake in the past
    but now I know the difference
    from gold and brass

    not the kind of gold you wear
    but the kind that can feel my care
    you look like gold

    some shine when the day is new
    but fade when the day is through
    but you look like gold

    I've been wrong before
    but now I know
    I've made mistakes in the past
    but now I know the difference
    from gold and brass

    you look like gold to me
    and I'm down on bending knees
    you look like gold
    and I just want you to know
    to me you mean so much more
    than all the gold
    you look like gold
    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....

    When your day is long and the night
    The night is yours alone
    When you're sure you've had enough of this life, well hang on
    Don't let yourself go
    Everybody cries and everybody hurts sometimes

    Sometimes everything is wrong
    Now it's time to sing along
    When your day is night alone
    If you feel like letting go
    When you think you've had too much of this life, well hang on

    Everybody hurts
    Take comfort in your friends.
    Everybody hurts
    Don't throw your hand. Oh, no
    Don't throw your hand
    If you feel like you're alone, no, no, no, you are not alone

    If you're on your own in this life
    The days and nights are long
    When you think you've had too much of this life to hang on

    Well, everybody hurts sometimes
    Everybody cries
    And everybody hurts sometimes
    And everybody hurts sometimes
    So, hold on, hold on
    Hold on, hold on
    Hold on, hold on


    Everybody hurts
    You are not alone

    Jesus, were you just around the corner?
    Did you think to try and warn her?
    Were you working on something new?
    If there's an order in all of this disorder
    Is it like a tape recorder?
    Can we rewind it just once more?

    Wake up, wake up dead man
    Wake up, wake up dead man.
    Wake up, wake up dead man.

    Come closer and see
    see into the trees
    find the girl
    while you can
    Come closer and see
    see into the dark
    just follow your eyes
    just follow your eyes

    I hear her voice
    calling my name
    the sound is deep
    in the dark
    I hear her voice
    and start to run
    into the trees
    into the trees

    into the trees

    Suddenly I stop
    but i know it's too late
    I'm lost in a forest
    all alone
    The girl was never there
    it's always the same
    I'm running towards nothing
    again and again and again
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."

    You can spend all your time making love...
    You can spend all your love making time...

    Maybe I, maybe you
    Can make a change to the world
    We're reaching out for a soul
    That's kind of lost in the dark

    Maybe I, maybe you
    Can find the key to the stars
    To catch the spirit of hope
    To save one hopeless heart

    You look up to the sky
    With all those questions in mind
    All you need is to hear
    The voice of your heart
    In a world full of pain
    Someone's calling your name
    Why don't we make if true
    Maybe I, maybe you

    Maybe I, maybe you
    Are just dreaming sometimes
    But the world would be cold
    Without dreamers like you

    Maybe I, maybe you
    Are just soldiers of love
    Born to carry the flame
    Bringin' light to the dark

    You look up to the sky
    With all those questions in mind
    All you need is to hear
    The voice of your heart
    In a world full of pain
    Someone's calling your name
    Why don't we make it true.....

    Someone falls to pieces sleeping all alone
    Someone kills the pain
    Spinning in the silence
    She finally drifts away
    Someone gets excited
    In a chapel yard
    And catches a bouquet
    Another lays a dozen
    White roses on a grave
    Yeah...

    And to be yourself is all that you can do
    Hey...
    To be yourself is all that you can do

    Someone finds salvation in everyone
    Another only pain
    Someone tries to hide himself
    Down inside himself he prays
    Someone swears his true love
    Until the end of time
    Another runs away
    Separate or united
    Healthy or insane

    And to be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)
    Yeah..
    To be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)

    To be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)
    Hey...
    Be yourself is all that you can do

    Even when you've paid enough
    Been put upon or been held up
    With every single memory of
    The good or bad, faces of luck
    Don't lose any sleep tonight
    I'm sure everything will end up alright
    You may win or lose

    But to be yourself is all that you can do
    Yeah...
    To be yourself is all that you can do

    Ohhh...
    To be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)
    Ohhh...
    To be yourself is all that you can do(all that you can do)
    To be yourself is all that you can--
    Be yourself is all that you can--
    Be yourself is all that you can dooooooohoooo

    You're tearing me apart
    Crushing me inside
    You used to lift me up
    Now you get me down
    If I
    Was to walk away
    From you my love
    Could I laugh again?
    If I
    Walk away from you
    And leave my love
    Could I laugh again?
    Again, again...

    You're killing me again
    Am I still in your head?
    You used to light me up
    Now you shut me down
    If I
    Was to walk away
    From you my love
    Could I laugh again?
    If I
    Walk away from you
    And leave my love
    Could I laugh again?

    I'm losing you again
    Like eating me inside
    I used to lift you up
    Now I get you down

    Without your love
    You're tearing me apart
    With you close by
    You're crushing me inside
    Without your love
    You're tearing me apart
    Without your love
    I'm dowsed in madness
    Can't lose this sadness
    I can't lose this sadness

    Can't lose this sadness

    You're tearing me apart
    Crushing me inside
    Without your love
    (you used to lift me up)
    You're crushing me inside
    (now you get me down)
    With you close by
    I'm dowsed in madness
    Can't lose this sadness
    It's ripping me apart
    It's tearing me apart
    It's tearing me apart
    I don't know why
    It's ripping me apart
    It's tearing me apart
    It's tearing me apart
    I don't know why
    I don't know why
    I don't know why
    I don't know why
    Without your love
    Without your love
    Without your love
    Without your love
    It's tearing me apart

    Gonna take a trip to Laredo
    Gonna take a dip in the lake
    Oh, I'm at a crossroads with myself
    I don't got no one else

    And possibilities at the door
    I won't be needing them anymore
    Oh, is this the first time in your life?
    It's hard just to get by

    But oh, my love, don't you even know?
    And oh, my love, are you really gone?

    And can you see the world through a window?
    Are you having troubles in droves?
    Oh, it ain't the worst thing I could do
    Is get back home to you

    I put a bullet in my Kia Lorenzo
    A kitchen knife up to my face
    Throw me in the deep of Jenner Lake
    Believe me when I say

    That oh, my love, you don't even call
    And oh, my love, is that you on the phone?

    You're always saying that there's something wrong,...
    I'm starting to believe it's your plan all along,...

    Death came around, forced to hear its song,...
    And know tomorrow can't be depended on.

    I seen the home inside your head,...
    All locked doors and unmade beds.
    Open sores unattended
    Let me say just once that

    I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
    I'm never going back again.

    I escaped it,... A life wasted,..
    I'm never going back again.

    Having tasted,... A life wasted,...
    I'm never going back again

    The world awaits just up the stairs
    Leave the pain for someone else.

    Nothing back there for you to find,...
    Or was it you, you left behind?

    You're always saying you're too weak to be strong,...
    You're harder on yourself than just about anyone,...

    Why swim the channel just to get this far?
    Halfway there, why would you turn around?

    Darkness comes in waves,... tell me,
    why invite it to stay?

    You're warm with negativity,
    Yes, comfort is an energy,...
    But why let the sad song play?

    I have faced it,... A life wasted,...
    I'm never going back again.

    Oh I escaped it,... A life wasted,...
    I'm never going back again.

    Having tasted,... A life wasted,...
    I'm never going back again.

    Oh I erased it,... A life wasted,...
    I'm never going back again.

    I will take what is mine, hold what is mine
    Suffocate what is mine, bury what's mine
    Soon the water will come
    And claim what is mine
    I must leave it behind
    And climb to a new place....
    Water's risin' up on me
    Said the water's risin' up on me
    Thought the son would come deliver me
    But the truth has come to punish me instead

    Die

    The ground breaks down right under me
    Cleanse and purge me in the water

    You're such an inspiration
    For the ways that I will
    Never, ever choose to be
    Oh so many ways for me to show you
    How your savior has abandoned you

    Fuck your God, your Lord, your Christ
    He did this, took all you had and
    Left you this way, still you pray, never stray, never
    Taste of the fruit, never thought to question "Why?"

    It's not like you killed someone
    It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
    Praise the one who left you broken down and paralyzed

    He did it all for you...
    He did it all for you...

    Oh so many ways for me to show you
    How your dogma has abandoned you

    Pray to your Christ, to your God
    Never taste of the fruit, never stray, never break, never
    Choke on a lie even though he's the one who
    Did this to you, you never thought to question "Why?"

    It's not like you killed someone
    It's not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
    Talk to Jesus Christ as if he knows the reasons why

    He did it all for you...

    Wake up young man, it's time to wake up
    Your love affair has got to go
    For 10 long years, for 10 long years
    The leaves to rake up

    Slow suicide's no way to go, oh
    Blue, clouded grey
    You're not a crack up
    Dizzy and weakened by the haze

    Moving onward
    So an infection not a phase
    Yeah, oh
    The cracks and lines from where you gave up

    They make an easy man to read, oh
    For all the times you let them bleed you
    For little peace from god you plead, and beg
    For little peace from god you plead

    Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah
    Wake up young man, wake up, wake up
    Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
    Oh, yeah

    Wake up young man, it's time to wake up
    Your love affair has got to go
    For 10 long years, yeah
    For 10 long years, the leaves to rake up

    Slow suicide's no way to go, oh

    You say love is a temple, love a higher law
    Love is a temple, love the higher law.
    You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
    And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.

    For all the times you let them bleed you
    For little peace from god you plead, and beg
    For little peace from god you plead

    Ah, yeah, ah, yeah, ah, yeah
    Wake up young man, wake up, wake up
    Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
    Oh, yeah

    Wake up young man, it's time to wake up
    Your love affair has got to go
    For 10 long years, yeah
    For 10 long years, the leaves to rake up

    Slow suicide's no way to go, oh
    Slow suicide's no way to go
    Wake up, wake up, wake up

    And tonight the coastline is quiet, it’s quieter than it’s ever been.
    Honey this town is a prison, with its four walls closing in
    and they got one pill to make you smaller, they got one pill to make you scream.
    Darling this heart is on fire, and this life is but a dream

    alright, alright.
    alright, alright

    You see this town pulls my heart strings, I fell in love with the Shrewsbury stars
    but you see there’s far too many diamonds, in the back seats of borrowed cars
    And I could never stop this burning honey I can’t settle dust,
    I could never stay awake through dark and this heart is on fire

    alright alright.
    alright, alright

    Tonight tonight
    we’re gonna ride like silver on a desolation moonlight
    tonight tonight
    ain’t coming back until the morning light,
    tonight tonight
    it’s alright alright
    tonight tonight. Alright alright.
    dancing my moonlight, my old friend the twilight

    And even if it's who you really are, you really are,
    You wanna feel wanted
    And even if it's true you really are, who you really are,
    Then I'll look above you.

    I'm out of advice, umbrellas wash away in the rain
    I can't wait to see what you become when you became.

    And even when you lose, you pushed us all, you pushed us all,
    A little bit further.
    Reminded me of you as I'm nodding off, as I'm nodding off
    In a massage parlor.

    I don't even know whose side I'm on, are both sides the same?
    I can't wait to see what you become when you became.

    And even if it's you who ratted on, who ratted on, your only brother
    You're purple and you're blue
    Is it chemical imbalance or some other struggle?
    Nobody's to blame, can't use force
    Take me to court, cause I couldn't love you
    Nobody could use you if you want, use if you want, ain't it fun?

    But I'm out of advice, umbrellas wash away in the rain
    I can't wait to see what you become when you became.

    And even though it's late the promise stands; it doesn't fade.
    And even if it's true you often find the best laid plans,
    Will fall down broken all around you now.

    Oh I can't hear you!
    Are you talking to me?
    Now I can't hear you!
    Did you say that you're happy for me?
    Did you say, did you say,
    Did you say that you're happy for me?
    Did you say, did you say,
    Did you say that you're happy for me?

    So glad to see you have overcome them
    Completely silent now.
    With heaven's help,
    You’ve cast your demons out.
    And not to pull your halo down
    around your neck and tug you off your cloud,
    But I'm more than just a little curious
    How you're planning to go about
    Making your amends to the dead.

    Recall the deeds as if they're all someone else's atrocious stories.
    Now you stand reborn before us all.
    So glad to see you well

    And not to pull your halo down
    Around your neck and tug you to the ground

    But I'm more than just a little curious
    How you're planning to go about
    Making your amends to the dead with your
    halo slipping down.

    Your halo’s slipping down to choke you now.

    Because clever got me this far
    Then tricky got me in
    I'll take just what I came for
    Then I'm out the door again

    Lie to get what I came for
    Lie to get what I need now
    Lie to get what I'm craving
    Lie and smile to get what's mine

    Give this to me
