A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?

Do you remember the days
We built these paper mountains
Then sat and watched them burn
I think I found my place
Can't you feel us growing stronger
Little conquerors

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?

Now
For the very first time
Don't you pay no mind
Set me free again

You keep alive a moment at a time
But still inside a whisper to a riot
To sacrifice but knowing to survive
The first to climb another state of mind
I'm on my knees, I'm praying for a sign
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I'm on my knees
I never wanna die
I'm dancing on my grave
I'm running through the fire
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna leave
I never say goodbye
Forever, whenever
Forever, whenever

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough
Where do I begin?

I'm learning to walk again
I believe I've waited long enough
I'm learning to talk again
Can't you see I've waited long enough

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

I never opened myself this way hey
Life is ours, we live it our way hey
All these words I don't just say hey
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know, yeah yeah!

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No nothing else matters.

Don't let go.
Tonight, where did you go?
Your expression is familiar.

Can you see like a child?
Can you see what I want?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find you
'Cause I'm alive
So alive now
I know the darkness blinds you

Can you see without eyes?
Can you speak without lies?
I wanna drink from your naked fountain
I can drown your sorrows
I'm gonna burn
Burn you to life now
Out of the chains that bind you

Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I bring you back to life?
Are you still alive?

Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground

Can you feel pain inside?
Can you love?
Can you cry?
I wanna run through your wicked garden
Heard that's the place to find you
But I'm alive
So alive now
I know the darkness blinds you

Can you see just like a child?
Can you see just what I want?
Can I bring you back to life?
Are you still alive?

Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden down
Burn, burn, burn
Burn your wicked garden to the ground

I need you and you need me
We make the perfect kind of misery
I help you and you help me
Become the one I swore I'd never be
The one that I don't ever want be

I like the way
you won't apologize
I like the way
you just demoralize
I like the way
you always roll your eyes
Someone as perfect as you
is hard to criticize

Suppress this hatred
I stand beside you while you soak it in
Spit on me I taste it
I love you more and you just fake it
I want you more and you just fake it

I like the way
you won't apologize
I like the way
you just demoralize
I like the way
you always roll your eyes
Someone as perfect as you
is hard to criticize

There's always something wrong, There's something I didn't do
There's always something I'm afraid I'm going to lose
There's nothing I can say, There's nothing I can do
No matter how hard I try I wake up next to you

I like the way
you won't apologize
I like the way
you just demoralize
I like the way
you always roll your eyes
Someone as perfect as you
is hard to criticize

I like the way
you won't apologize
I like the way
you just demoralize
I like the way
you always roll your eyes
Someone as perfect as you
is hard to criticize

It's hard to criticize (x4)

My eyes are open wide
By the way, I made it through the day
I watch the world outside
By the way, I'm leaving out today

Well I just saw Halley's Comet, she waved
Said why you always running in place
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize, this is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Please don't cry one tear for me
I'm not afraid, of what I have to say
This is my one and only voice
So listen close, it's only for today

Well I just saw Halley's Comet, she waved
Said why you always running in place
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere

Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize, this is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

Here is my chance
This is my chance

Tell my mother, tell my father
I've done the best I can
To make them realize, this is my life
I hope they understand
I'm not angry, I'm just saying
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance
Sometimes goodbye is a second chance

I. The Rover(Instrumental)


It was an April morning
When they told us we should go
And as I turn to you you smiled at me
How could we say no?
With all the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had
Woah the songs to sing
When we at last return again, yeah
Oh
Oh

Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
To know the streets the seaman hears
The devil in his hole
Oh to sail away
To sandy lands and other days
Oh to touch the dream
Hides inside and never seen, yeah
Oh
Ooh

Into the sun the south the north
Lies the first of hope
Shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground
Oh to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din
Oh to laugh aloud
Dancing as we fought the crowd, yeah
Oh oooh

To seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
In celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah
Ooooh

Oh, yeah


Oh, yeah
Here we go
Wanted to know, oh, oh
Sing out hare, hare, oh
Dance the hoochie koo
The city lights
Oh so bright
As we go sliding
Sliding, sliding, sliding
Through
Oooh
Oooh
Oh, all right

Alone, listless -- breakfast table in an otherwise empty room
Young girl, violins -- center of her own attention
The mother reads aloud, child tries to understand it, tries to make her proud
The shades go down, it's in her head, painted room... can't deny there's something wrong

Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

She holds the hand that holds her down
She will rise above...

Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me daughter, not fit to be -- the picture kept will remind me
Don't call me...

The shades go down
The shades go down
The shades go...
Go...
Go...

Give me mercy and a minute now
I'm a bleed a little poison out
I'm a cry a little river down
And then I'm setting this whole thing on fire

And I'm burning up the night she died
And I'm putting every last picture aside
I'm gonna say what I need to say
In my very last letter to you

Cause you always made it clear
Said that you'd never be my pain
So here's to you and your bright baby blues
And just a pause to cool the refrain

And you said you were satisfied
And now this body's just waiting to die
And that you missed him sometimes but you said it's alright
It's just a whole lot harder alone

But I wish you knew her now
She's a better side of me now
And I'm doing the best I can
It's what you wanted

And I see you like you were there
And I know just how you'd smile
Mary, you looked just like it was 1930 that night

But here the days will eat you alive
But I won't give in tonight
You said it's not worth my time
And not to regard them

And not to settle just for piece of mind
But I can wait it out all night
If you'll just keep breathing

But Mary I found a sound
And this heart keeps pouring it out
And the glory hasn't come and it's probably gonna fade
Like a tattoo that hides the shame

And the reasons always fade
And the pain gets out some day
So I'm saying my goodbyes to your deep blue eyes
Cause I don't know how to say, "Stay still in the pain.
Stay still in the pain."

But I wish you knew her now
She's a better side of me now
And I'm doing the best I can
It's what you wanted

And I see you like you were there
And I know just how you'd smile
Mary, you looked just like it was 1930 that night

If I recall the last thing you said to me
Before it broke up, before it took you from me
And you said, "I love you more than the stars in the sky
But your name just escapes me tonight."

What's coming through is alive
What's holding up is a mirror
What's singing songs is a snake...it is
Looking to turn my piss to wine

They're both totally void of hate
And killing me just the same now

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again

And I feel this coming over like a storm again...now
Considerately

Venomous voice tempts me
Drains me, bleeds me
Leaves me cracked and empty
Drags me down like some sweet gravity

The snake behind me hisses
What my damage could have been
My blood before me begs me
Open up my heart again

And I feel this coming over like a storm again...now
And I feel this coming over like a storm again...now

I am too connected to you
To slip away or fade away
Daze away, I still feel you
Touching me, changing me

And...considerately killing me
Considerately killing me
And...considerately killing me
Considerately killing me
And...

Without the skin peeled
Beneath the storm
Under these tears now
The walls came down

As the snake is drowned
As I look in his eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I could have cried...then
I should have cried...then

And as the walls come down
And as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade
Recalling all of the times
I have died and will die
It's all right

I don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind!

I am too connected to you
To slip away or fade away
Daze away, I still feel you
Touching me, changing me

And...considerately killing me
Considerately killing me
And...considerately killing me

I wish I would've met you
Now it's a little late
What you could'a taught me
I could've saved some face

They think that your early ending was all wrong
For the most part, they're right
But look how they all got strong

That's why I say
Hey man nice shot
Good shot man
That's why I say
Hey man nice shot
Good shot man

A man has gun
Hey man have fun
Nice shot

Now that the smoke's gone
And the air is all clear
Those who were right there
Got a new kind of view

You'd fight and you were right
But they were just too strong
They'd stick it in your face and
Let you smell what they consider wrong

That's why I say
Hey man nice shot
A good shot man
Thats why I say
Hey man nice shot
What a good shot man

A man has gun
Hey man have fun
Nice shot

A man has gun
Hey man have fun
Nice shot

A man has gun
Hey man have fun
Nice shot

A man has gun
Hey man have fun
Nice shot

Oh nice shot man!
Oh nice shot man!

I wish I would've met you
I wish I would've met you
I wish I would've met you
I wish I would've met you
I'd say nice shot!

Even with a diagram of my DNA
I leave scientists baffled 'till the end of the day
They try to pick apart my life-style and how I survive
Making money for the boss while I make nickel and dime
And being on time, takin' a punch and doin' my best
Not ever hearing, 'Good job' and staying upset
It doesn't take to much to find the sediments they left behind

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Not even with ten men holding me back
Not even with a devious planned attack
Contemplating every move that I play
Willing the bad things all away
Keeping the worry-free happiness philosophy
That's what I let them see when they try to look at me

Put down the book, put up the walls
I'm never givin' up at all
What's yours is yours
What's mine is yours and I'll mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

Don't want out

These issues arise every day
Though you try to turn your head and walk away
Though it leaves you feeling insecure
You're gonna feel your life mature

Endure
Endure
Endure

I'm so happy, 'cause today I've found my friends,
...They're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you,
...We've broke our mirrors
Sunday morning, is every day for all I care,
...And I'm not scared
Light my candles, in a daze, 'cause I've found God...

...But I don't care
I'm so horny, that's okay, my will is good...
