    'Well I'm loaded and ready
    Calmly holding steady
    Looking for a sign to show me when
    Well I'm waiting and willing
    The clarity is chilling
    But I'm not turning back
    And neither can you

    I need someone to pull the trigger
    'cause there's a hole in my heart getting bigger
    And everything I'll ever be I've been
    And I need someone to pull the trigger
    So if you're what I think you'll be
    If you're who I think I see -- shoot

    So hold me and love me
    Tie me up and drug me
    'cause I'm not gonna beg you for my life'

    'Like the soldier long standing under fire
    Any change comes as a relief
    Let the givers name remain unspoken
    She is just a generous thief'

    You try to tell her what to do
    and all she does is stare at you
    her stare is louder than your voice
    because truth doesn't make a noise

    If you hold her up be sure to help her down
    If you burn it up you’ll take the ashes to the ground
    If you grow it up keep its roots deep, deep down
    If you set it up be sure to set it down

    Searching, searching for close
    Closeness to the people that I love the most
    I feel you, in everything I do
    Everything I do comes back to you
    There are spirits of evil and grace
    Intrusion of mind intrusion of space
    I’m sorry because everything I do
    Everything I do comes back to you
    I feel you in everything I do
    Because everything I do comes back to you

    'I, I love the colorful clothes she wears
    And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
    I hear the sound of a gentle word
    On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air.....

    .....Close my eyes
    Shes somehow closer now
    Softly smile, I know she must be kind
    When I look in her eyes
    She goes with me to a blossom world'

    "I only see myself reflected in your eyes
    So all that I believe I am essentially are lies
    And everything I've hoped to be or ever thought I was
    Died with your belief in me so who the hell am I?

    ...

    I stare into this mirror
    So tired of this life
    If only you would speak to me or care if I'm alive
    Once I swore I would die for you
    But I never meant it like this
    I never meant like this
    no i never meant like this

    You say forever
    And I confess I shiver
    You say hope
    I say that's where I'm goin'
    To be in the shade
    The oldest trees above my head
    When I'm away, I know in my heart
    There is a heaven

    - Toadies

    DROWNED

    There are men high up there fishing
    Haven't seen quite enough of the world.
    I ain't seen a sign of my heroes
    And I'm still diving down for pearls.

    O let me flow into the ocean,
    Let me get back to the sea.
    Let me be stormy and let me be calm,
    Let the tide in and set me free.

    I'm flowing under bridges,
    Then flying through the sky,
    I'm traveling down cold metal,
    Just a tear in baby's eye.

    Let me flow into the ocean
    Let me get back to the sea.
    Let me be stormy and let me be calm,
    Let the tide in, rush over me.

    I am not the actor
    This can't be the scene
    But I am in the water
    As far as I can see. . . .

    I'm remembering distant memories,
    Recalling other names.
    Rippling over canyons,
    And boiling in the trains.

    Let me flow into the ocean,
    Let me get back to the sea.
    Let me be stormy and let me be calm,
    Let the tide in and set me free.
    Set me free. . . .

    I want to drown in your sweet sweet love. . . .

    She scratches a letter into a wall made of stone
    Maybe someday another child wont feel as alone as she does
    Its been two years, and counting, since they put her in this place
    Shes been diagnosed by some stupid fuck, and mommy agrees, yeah...

    ...
    To the rhythm of a time bomb ticking away
    And the blare of the sirens combing the streets
    Chased down like dogs we run from
    Your grasp until the sun comes up

    We crawl on our knees for you
    Under a sky no longer blue
    We sweat all day long for you
    But we sow seeds to see us through
    Though sometimes dreams just don't come true
    Look now at what they've done to you

    I won't crawl on my knees for you
    I won't believe the lies that hide the truth
    I won't sweat one more drop for you
    'Cuz we are the rust upon your gears
    We are the insects in your ears
    We crawl
    We crawl
    We crawl... all over you

    If you go chances are you'll come again
    if you come chances are you'll go
    so be mellow let it flow let it bend
    I'll see you somewhere at the end

    When you look into a mirror
    The reflection that you see
    Is a shell of what you were
    It's not who you want to be

    But you're gonna change
    You've just about made up your mind
    (You're gonna change)
    You're gonna change
    And when you leave it all behind

    What will the past remember?
    What will the future bring?
    When you walk out
    When you walk out

    You were brought into this world
    With a head full of good ideas
    But the person you became
    Well you just couldn't be for real

    No matter where you are
    I can still hear you when you drown
    Youve traveled very far
    Just to see you Ill come around
    When Im down
    All of those yesterdays
    Coming around

    No matter where you are
    I can still hear you when you dream
    You traveled very far
    You traveled far, like a star
    And you are
    All of those yesterdays
    Coming around

    Is it something someone said?
    Was it something someone said?

    Yesterday the sky was you
    And I still feel the same
    Nothing left for me to do
    And I still feel the same

    It's okay, we've all seen better days
    It's okay, you don't have to run and hide away
    It's okay
    It's okay, yeah we love you anyway

    For in those reckless moments
    When doubt is creeping in your head
    Feeling like you've lost your youth
    And the dreams you had are cold and dead
    I can't reach you anymore
    That's gonna take a different man
    I can't protect you like before
    You've slipped beyond my hands
    But it's okay.......

    I wish that I could light the path
    That leads to a life of no mistakes
    Hold you from the damned be done
    That living out of safety seems to take
    I remember still the child in you
    As if only yesterday
    It was easy to break through
    I only had to kiss the pain
    But it's okay.......

    This is my chance, this is my life
    And my opening hour
    This is my choice, this is my voice
    There may be no tomorrow
    This is my plea, this is my need
    This is my time for standing free
    This is my step, this is my depth
    In a world demanding of me
    But is's okay.......

    Hey Mr. DJ, I thought you said we had a deal
    I thought you said, "You scratch my back
    and I'll scratch your record"

    I fell so far, I didn't think I'd make it back
    We are all made, as an afterthought,
    Destined to believe that we are what we are not
    I'm afraid, but I don't need to tell you that


    There's a smog moon coming I can always feel it
    The cartoon trees cannot conceal it
    When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
    When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like

    There's a lost man, with a bitter soul, Only for a moment,
    Did life make him whole
    And while he was, he thought he was invincible


    There's a smog moon coming I can always feel it
    The cartoon trees cannot conceal it
    When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white
    When it's high up in the sky, it almost looks like it is white

    They're not your words, but you're reciting the lines
    You don't mean a thing, but you exist in their minds
    How does it feel, when they have turned out the lights?
    'Cause you know they sooner would get rid of you, than fight.

    And the dark night, has the strongest pull
    We both know that staying young, can take its toll
    Are you afraid of finding out you're over that

    You are the sunshine of my life
    Thats why Ill always be around,
    You are the apple of my eye,
    Forever youll stay in my heart

    I feel like this is the beginning,
    Though Ive loved you for a million years,
    And if I thought our love was ending,
    Id find myself drowning in my own tears.

    You are the sunshine of my life,
    Thats why Ill always stay around,
    You are the apple of my eye,
    Forever youll stay in my heart,

    You must have known that I was lonely,
    Because you came to my rescue,
    And I know that this must be heaven,
    How could so much love be inside of you?


    You are the sunshine of my life, yeah,
    Thats why Ill always stay around,
    You are the apple of my eye,
    Forever youll stay in my heart.

    Love has joined us,
    Love has joined us,
    Lets think sweet love.
