
 
Well she came to me with tales of grief
Betrayal and broken hearts, yeah
She was repressed, kept and possessed
Deranged and torn apart yet now she's free
And I could see 
It was my turn to be the nice guy
.
Well I held her up and I showed her love
And we spoke of our true feelings
With sympathy and some honesty
She began to start healing deep inside
And I gave her pride
It was my turn to be the right guy
.
But some things are broken
That just can't be repaired
And all the wishing in the well
Can't fix what isn't there
.
So she came at me in disbelief
Accusing me of cheating
But I'd had enough so I called her bluff
And found out who she'd been seeing on the side
And now I find
Its my turn to be the mad guy
.
Well I had no doubts as I threw her out
And I told him all her secrets
But he chose to stay, now the game is played
By him, we'll see what he gets in the end
I warned you my friend
But its my turn to be the bad guy
.
'Cause some things are broken
That just can't be repaired
And all the wishing in the well
Can't fix what isn't there
.
So I let her drown and I wear this crown
Of thorns, but I'm no savior
I've been crucified and my heart has died
Now all I do is hate her for her sins
And in the end
Its my turn to be the bad guy
.
'Cause some things are broken
That just can't be repaired
And all the wishing in the well
Can't fix what isn't there

My Turn


 
I was singing on a rooftop
Far from all the raindrops
In sunny San Francisco
My honey got her own show
She's my captive audience
But only by the circumstance
Of heart strings intertwined
And I knew that she was mine
...
But the road always takes me away
And I can't see my baby for 26 days
I'll just be singin' in the rain 'til I see Jillian again
Oh again
...
So we spent a sunny day
On a beach in Monteray
There was movies and museums
And mysteries to see
And so we got a bit adventurous
And lovin' got the best of us
How we intertwined
And I knew that she was mine
...
But the road always takes me away
And I can't see my baby for 26 days
I'll just be singin' in the rain 'til I see Jillian again
Oh again, Jillian, again
...
A thousand miles away never seemed so far
And you know I can't replace her, even with this guitar
It doesn't really matter that I can roam the world
When all I really want is my California girl
...
'Cuz I'm missin' Sacramento
And swimmin' up at Tahoe
The day we spent at Santa Cruz
It made me fall in love with you
Even if its long distance
The lovin' keeps on callin' us
We're always intertwined
She always will be mine
...
And if the road still takes me away
And I can't see my baby for 26 days
I'll just be singin' in the rain 'til I see Jillian again, oh yeah
I'll just be singin' in the rain 'til I see Jillian again
Oh again, Jillian 
I'll see you again

26 Days (Jillian's Song)



Highways blend together into a painted scene
Pictures burned with every turn, still remembering
How far we traveled, you and I were such a team
Lessons learned with every turn, still remembering
Driving through the memories
...
And every lonely street street still calls your name
No one sits beside me but the road still drives the same
The miles roll by and still I feel the pain
The sky still cries its tears and I let the wipers wash away
Time and miles and distant smiles 
And all the while the memories still don't seem to fade
...
Every white Camaro brings you back to me
Visions burned with every turn, still remembering
I turn up the heater when I feel your chill in me
Habits learned with every turn, still remembering
Driving through the memories
...
And every lonely street street still calls your name
No one sits beside me but the road still drives the same
The miles roll by and still I feel the pain
The sky still cries its tears and I let the wipers wash away
Time and miles and distant smiles 
And all the while the memories still don't seem to fade
...
Cannot drive away the shame
I take the wheel, the pain is real
And all the memories remain
Cannot wipe this rain away
I stripped my gears and cannot steer
And all the roads still drive the same
Oh... ooooh...
...
Every lonely street street still calls your name
No one sits beside me but the road still drives the same
The miles roll by and still I feel the pain
The sky still cries its tears and I let the wipers wash away
Time and miles and distant smiles 
And all the while the memories still don't seem to fade
...
Highways blend together into a painted scene
Pictures burned with every turn, still remembering
Time and miles and distant smiles 
And all the while the road I drive down is a memory


Memory Lane



 
I wanted to write you a happy song
Oh, but it came out all wrong
I wanted to make you smile for awhile
Oh, but I just made you cry
I wanted to make you a happy girl
Oooh, but I darkened your world
I wanted to keep you here by my side
Oh, but I just made you fly
Made you fly away
...
So far away
Gone are the days that you made me feel so alive
Taken away
Now all that I play is dark like I feel inside
...
I wanted to treat you like a queen
Oooh, but I acted so mean
I wanted to make your heart come alive
Oh, but I just made it die
I wanted to keep everything friendly
Oooh, but I made enemies
I wanted to write your name in the sky
Oh, but I just made you fly
I made you fly away
...
So far away
Gone are the days that you made me feel so alive
Taken away
Now all that I play is dark like I feel inside
Like I feel inside
Oh...oh... oh
...
I made you fly away
So far away
Gone are the days that you made me feel so alive
Taken away
Now all that I play is dark like I feel inside
And you're so far away
Gone are the days that you made me feel so alive
Taken away
Now all that I play is dark like I feel inside
...
I wanted to write you a happy song

Happy Song


How I long for your embrace
And the smile you put upon my face
You calm the storm, defy the norm
Cover me in clouds
The way you can intensify
The abstract that I amplify
Passion and flame, I call your name
Take you in and let me out
.
And when I need to draw your energy
I roll with it and release my negativity
Treat me kind, ease my mind
I'll give you twenty dollars if you give to me that dime...
.
How I long to taste your breath
And to feel the wind of your caress
To buy the lie is to deny
The truth that only grows
The industries would hunt you down
But can't control the underground
You're safe with me, I'm no enemy
In my eyes my love for you shows
.
And when we are alone in my abode
I use hydro mind fusion to clear the load
Treat me kind, ease my mind
Expanding my awareness so I read between the lines... 
(lies,lies,lies)
.
In my eyes, my eyes
Blood red like the skies
How can the man be so vain
They'll feed us oil and then burn the grain
Turn the wheels with fossil fuel
Then turn around and say the air that you breathe is cruel
I see through this hypocricy
And that is why you are so dear to me
When you cover me in clouds
Cover me in clouds...
.
And even if you're far away from me
I can scrape through the black for your memory
Treat me kind, ease my mind
Just take away my tension and then help me pass the time...
When you cover me in clouds
Cover me in clouds...


Cloud Cover

All of my sunshine
has turned the deepest shade of grey
Might not be a cloud in the sky
but everything in my eyes looks like rain
And how can they call Him the Good Lord when He, 
when He took you away from me
With all of your love drifting somewhere above
I'm drowning in a sea of my misery
So I cling to the debris of old memories
and somehow keep gasping for air
If I hold my head high and look to the sky
its only because I'm trying to find you up there
somewhere, to pull me out of this despair...

So I go through the motions
and make an effort to try not to drown
When I pretend you're still beside me my friend
That thought will keep me warmer than the ground
And how can they call Him the Good Lord when he,
when He killed the best part of me
Well if I only survive to keep your memory alive,
at least its a reason for me to keep living
And I'll carry your flame on forever
and use it to burn your name into the stars
If I hold my head high and look to the sky
its only because I'm longing to be where you are
So far away from the pain of this broken heart...

So would you take me with you up to Heaven
so I could be right beside you my friend
'Cause you're gone too soon, 
you're gone far too soon
and I only want to be with you again
And your fire, your fire, it still burns inside of me
But this rain, this rain is falling down
Like the tears of all the angels, it falls
And I'm trying so hard, 
I’m trying so hard not to drown
I'll just float away like the moon and be gone
Gone too soon Just like you Just like you
You're gone too soon, no...

No, I will carry your flame on forever and use it to burn your beautiful name into the stars
And I'll hold my head high and look to the sky and I'll find you every time like a fire in the night
'Cause you're gone too soon but you'll always be a light shining in my darkness, 
remembering your smile
and all the good times... 
the beautiful life... Oh you...
You're gone too soon...

7.Gone Too Soon

Heading right into the storm
Struggle to clear our sight 
and shield our eyes from the pour
As the darkness takes form

Turning away from the horror
Struggle to free our minds from fears
inside is a war
We can't take any more

The darkness
it meets the lightning
The storm will bring the rain
The moment of pain
it may seem frightening
But in time it gives us strength
So we walk
this road together
Hand in hand we find our way
The storm gives way 
to peaceful weather
The rain washed the pain away

Tearing the bricks from this wall
Using debris to build 
a bridge back to my heart
We make a new start

Pick myself up from the fall
Using the fear to steer the ship 
straight through the fog
We're sailing straight one

The darkness
it meets the lightning
The storm will bring the rain
The moment of pain
it may seem frightening
But in time it gives us strength
So we walk
this road together
Hand in hand we find our way
The storm gives way 
to peaceful weather
The rain washed the pain away

Tearing the hair from my skull
Feeling the frustration 
bring life back to my soul
I am filling this hole

Hammer the blade til its dull
Cutting away the vines 
that strain to hide the road
I am reaching my goal

The darkness it meets the lightning
The storm will bring the rain
The pain seems frightening
But in time it gives us strength
We walk this road together
Hand in hand...
The rain washed the pain away

The Storm

The embers turn to ashes
The firelight must fade
These empty arms hold nothing
A price that cannot be paid
The tears take the vision
All light gives way to shade
And everything is diminishing.
.
The fires turn to frost now
The winter kills the spring
These empty hands abandoned
Any hope of holding 
Isolation is my prison
I never will be free
And everything is diminishing
.
The ashes turn to dust now
The desert drinks the sea
This emptiness consumes us
Now the feast is starving
All that once was given
Is torn away from me
And everything is diminishing

Diminishing

Who would have thought our love
Could be so digital?
But if we came unplugged
I would never see you at all
And who would have thought our lives
Could be so intertwined?
Through satellites and wires
We're sharing our hearts and minds

You've got my number, text me
And send me something sexy
Instant message me some kisses
Are we connecting? 
Is this what bliss is?
Let's meet up, myspace or yours?
I know you're more than just
a pretty facebook of course
I know the source ain't digital...

Who would have thought that type
Could spell out our love life?
Well we could talk on skype
And share some lovin' tonight
And who would have thought our need
To say something so sweet
Could ever be complete
With a simple little tweet?

You've got my number, text me
And send me something sexy
Instant message me some kisses
Are we connecting? 
Is this what bliss is?
Let's meet up, myspace or yours?
I know you're more than just
a pretty facebook of course
I know the source ain't digital...

I've got you in the palm of my hands
As we are sharing instagrams
I'll keep holding on
To your little emoticons
So smile for me...

You've got my number, text me
And send me something sexy
Instant message me some kisses
Are we connecting? 
Is this what bliss is?
Let's meet up, myspace or yours?
I know you're more than just
a pretty facebook of course
I know the source ain't digital...

Nowadays, this is the way
This modern age, oh this is love 
The source is love, not digital...

Digital

When madmen rule the world
And the blind follow the blind
When liars sit in judgement
And fools program our minds
These times are ripe for treason
Now these wicked kings shall fall
Once the sleepwalkers awaken
They refuse to lose it all

Resist this tyranny
And set each other free
(...but their fears 
get the best of me...)

‘Cause every time 
We stand up for our rights
Our hands end up in binds
With tear gas in our eyes
A night stick to the head
And a boot upon your neck
They justify arrest
For your discontent and civil unrest
No!
The time has come to uprise
Take the power back from all the liars
We must do more than occupy
Situation here is growing dire
Our time is now, so uprise
Take the world back from all the liars
Rebellious thoughts shall multiply
Cast the guilty down into the fires
Burn... Get what you deserve

Mad ad-men run the networks
And fill our hears with fear
They spin and misdirect us
So filtered truth falls on deaf ears
Their disconnected judgement 
Holds no sway over me
Their dark and blinded selfish vision 
Is not the one I choose to see

Resist this tyranny
And set each other free...
(...but their fears 
get the best of me...)

‘Cause every time 
we stand up for our rights
Our hands end up in binds
With tear gas in our eyes
A night stick to the head
And a boot upon your neck
They justify arrest
For your discontent and civil unrest
No!
The time has come to uprise
Take the power back from all the liars
We must do more than occupy
Situation here is growing dire
Our time is now, so uprise
Take the world back from all the liars
Rebellious acts shall multiply
Cast the guilty down into the fires
Burn... Get what you deserve

False gods threaten us with thunder
Yet we all obey
Is it any wonder 
that our freedom slips away?
No!
The time has come to uprise
Take the power back from all the liars
We must do more than occupy
Situation here is growing dire
Our time is now, so uprise
Take the world back from all the liars
Rebellious hearts shall multiply
Cast the guilty down into the fires
Our time is now, so uprise
Cast the guilty down and watch the liars burn!
