Mary

Sometimes when I open my eyes
I see the things that I can't hide
Emptiness hanging from the shadows on the wall
Sometimes when I open my ears
Hear all the things I don't want to hear
4AM, faith is lost, she's screaming out again
And I say...
Mary, Mary
Mother full of light
When you gonna come down
And save us
Save us from this night
Oh, I say Mary, Mary
When you gonna hear
When you gonna come down
And take away
This bucket full
This bucket full of tears?
I tried to compromise
Saw the world through other's eyes
In the end, the battle came and left me on the ground
So many ways to fall
We seem to find them all
Tripping through the rubble as we fight within ourselves
And I say...
Mary, Mary
Mother full of light
When you gonna come down
And save us
Save us from this night
Oh, I say Mary, Mary
When you gonna hear
When you gonna come down
And take away
This bucket full
This bucket full of tears?
Impossible, impossible
All the things that we make implausible, implausible
Implausible, all the things that become impossible
We risk it all
We pay the toll
To a place we've never been before
I won't be going back now
Mary, Mary
When you gonna fly
When you gonna come down
And say the words to hush this endless cry
Oh, I say Mary, Mary
When you gonna hear
When you gonna come down
And take away
This bucket full
This bucket full of tears?
Whoa, Whoa, Mary
This bucket full
This bucket full
This bucket full
Ooo
This bucket full
This bucket full
This bucket full
Ooo
Bucket full
Bucket full of tears

It's A Game
03:48
|
|||
Why can't I feel this when it's gone?
Is this suffering?
I listened to you breathing on the telephone
It was hard for me
I've been asking out loud
Where do I belong?
And yes, this is taking a toll on me
So I write this song
And I'll pray
To save myself
And I'll fight
Just to force it out
And I'll cry
When there's nothing more to say
It's a game, it's a game that I choose to play
Defenses noted but not ignored
So you got a hold of me
I took my position, I played my card
I'm so sorry baby
But I offered my heart
And I can't give no more than love
Than love, than all my love
So we'll pray
To save ourselves
And we'll fight
Just to force it out
And we'll cry
When there's nothing more to say
It's a game, it's a game that we choose to play

3 O'Clock in the Morning
05:02
|
|||
It's three o'clock in the morning
And I still can't close my eyes
Your smile keeps haunting my mind
Haunting my mind
Ghosts of us in every object
Memories in every sound
It's strange not having you around
So strange not having you around
I get this urge to run back into your arms
That held me too tight
And I get this craving to be part of your life
That couldn't end the fight
And I'm wondering where you are now
At this time of night
Oh I'm still loving you, still loving you
But our time wasn't right
Our time wasn't right
It's time to start living life again
When's this pain going to end?
'Cause it's tearing up my soul
I've gotten so far from who I am
Trying to make us feel new
'Cause I'm scared to live without you
So scared to live without you
I get this urge to run back into your arms
That held me too tight
And I get this craving to be part of your life
That couldn't end the fight
And I'm wondering where you are now
At this time of night
Oh I'm still loving you, still loving you
But our time wasn't right
Our time wasn't right
When's this gonna change?
When's this gonna change?
'Cause my dreams of life are shattering
I get this urge to run back into your arms
That held me too tight
And I get this craving to be part of your life
That couldn't end the fight
And I'm wondering where you are now
At this time of night
Oh I'm still loving you, still loving you
But our time wasn't right
Our time wasn't right

Divided Heart
03:35
|
|||
You, you touch me with
With moments of delight
Searching me
For inner being light
And I, I have seen your mind
I, I know how to hide
Divided heart
I know you are watching me
When I go down to the river in the night
Down to the river
Divided heart
I know you are hearing me
When I lay down my confessions
I lay down my confessions to your light
You, you catch me in
Deceit of what I've found
Tripping through
My moments of profound
And I, I know how to tell a lie
I, I know how to hide
Divided heart
I know you are watching me
When I go down to the river in the night
Down to the river
Divided heart
I know you are hearing me
When I lay down my confessions
I lay down my confessions to your light
You, you catch me in
Deceit of what I might have been
Then I'm dying
And I'm begging for your healing touch
Any you, you make me feel
Summer sunlight then darkest chill
And I'm crazy, Oh I'm crazy, crazy over you
Craving for you
Tie me up, undone again
I am divided
Tie me up and down again
Divided heart
Divided heart
I know you are watching me
When I go down to the river in the night
Down to the river
Divided heart
I know you are hearing me
When I lay down my confessions
I lay down my confessions to your light

Temple
04:31
|
|||
Color me
With your wild night dream
Oh when you called
When you called, you called my name
Color me sweet
Sweet as summer night roses
Falling down
Falling down around our feet
Emotion
And devotion
We step into our temple to be seen
This kind of worship will set us free
Cycles mistrust
Cycles of envy
Oh when they call
When they call to take you back
Open your eyes
To these night time hunters
'Til they fall
'Til they fall along your path
Emotion
And devotion
We step into our temple to be seen
This kind of worship will set us free
Oh, when I'm
I'm alone I
I can feel you
A lucid daydream
Oh, it poured down
Through the night sky
All around us
The world was dancing
And we were singing
Color me
With your wild night dream
When you called
When you called, you called my name
Color me sweet
Sweet as summer night roses
Falling down
Falling around our feet
Emotion
And devotion
We step into our temple to be seen
This kind of worship will set us free

Never
03:37
|
|||
There's a fire burning
Somewhere under my skin
And in the night it devours me
Trying to pull me in
And there's no comfort in commitment
Just an open jealous tomb
And the more I surrender
The less I'm trusting of you
Take me down from decision
Let me breathe from my soul
If I stop worrying about tomorrow
I will never grow old
And their eyes keep on staring
Trying to break me with time
So I keep fighting the battle
Aiming to save my mind
And over there they are fussing
Over here lies dissatisfaction
I just asked for some quiet
Just a moment away from the action
Take me down from decision
Let me breathe from my soul
If I stop worrying about tomorrow
I will never grow old
You're never gonna tear me down
You're never gonna break my heart
You're never gonna steal my soul
No you're never gonna never
And you know I'm gonna speak my mind
And you're never gonna take that away
No, you're never gonna take that away
I said never, never, no you're never, never
No, you're never gonna take that away from me
From me

Don't Tell Me About It
03:40
|
|||
Black was the curtain that you placed before my eyes
I kept returning to the jealousy and lies
But now I know that there will be no more tears
Upon my pillow, pillow, my pillow
Don't tell me about it
As I'm heading towards the door
Don't tell me about it
You should have tried to change before
Don't tell me about it
I don't want to hear a sound
Don't tell me about it my love
I'm going to leave you now
You found a rage in me that no one's touched before
You turned a page in me, I sent you to the floor
But now I'm telling you there'll be no more screams
Into my pillow, pillow, my pillow
Don't tell me about it
As I'm heading towards the door
Don't tell me about it
You should have tried to change before
Don't tell me about it
I don't want to hear a sound
Don't tell me about it my love
I'm going to leave you now
Take was the name of the game that you played with me
Take take me more away
From the things that I did
At the end of the day I was cold, so cold
But now I said that I'm done with the way that you treated me
I won't be standing alone
Don't tell me about it
As I'm heading towards the door
Don't tell me about it
You should have tried to change before
Don't tell me about it
I don't want to hear a sound
Don't tell me about it my love
I'm going to leave you now

On Fire
03:49
|
|||
Take down the pictures from the wall
No use in turning memories through your head
Clean between the cracks in the floor
Shake the familiar scent from your bed
From your bed, and your head
'Cause if I offered you my life
I'd be on fire in your love
And if I promised you my heart
I'd be on fire, live on fire
Don't you know, don't you know?
Make believe that nothing ever was
Dream of a better place where it's warm
Walk down the streets with open eyes
Put on a smile for all the ladies
Put on a smile for all the ladies
Smile smile smile
'Cause if I offered you my life
I'd be on fire in your love
And if I promised you my heart
Oh no
And if I stayed with you tonight
I'd dance like fire in your arms
But that won't make these feeling right
Lay down the bitter choices
Save your anger for the morning
When the sun breaks let it soak you
Let it take you, make you holy, love
Don't you know?
'Cause if I offered you my life
I'd be on fire in your love
And if I promised you my heart
Oh no
And if I stayed with you tonight
I'd dance like fire in your arms
But that won't make these feelings right
Oh no

Lay Down Your Light
04:29
|
|||
A searchlight
On the night sky
When I find you
I see a sign of life
Shine, shine
Throw your mysteries aside
Lay down your light
And we'll go dancing through the night
You got to lay down your light
You're beautiful, beautiful
Come into the night
You're a soft light
In the distance
And when you come to me
The most beautiful thing that I ever did see
And I, no longer terrified
I'll give you all I can't hide
Lay down your light
And I'll go dance into your night
You got to lay down your light
You're beautiful, beautiful
You know you got to lay down your light
And we'll go dancing through the night
You got to lay down your light
You're beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
All is new tonight
Only you can hide
Lay down your light
And we'll go dancing through the night
You got to lay down your light
You're beautiful, beautiful
You know you got to lay down
You're beautiful, beautiful

New York City
03:26
|
|||
New York City takes me over
In these nights when I'm alone
Café corners, hung with strangers
Gulping down a bitter soul
Wouldn't mind the peace of going back home
And meeting a knowing smile
Where Sunday tastes of confession booth sins
And Monday comes with new denial
I am pretty good at nothing
When I think that I'm a star
Flying ego over mountains
Spacious skies of who we are
Wouldn't mind the peace of rewinding the time
Give me blank paper and pen
I'd feel ease in calling you mine
But then I'd know it's just pretend
Gotta find a better space
Where I recognize my face
I begin to cry
Emotions churning
Gotta find some peace of mind
Somewhere in between these lines
'Cause I begin to die when my fire's burning
Ocean turning
New York City, I'm uncertain
Think I lost round Chelsea Town
Café corner, I'm a stranger
Hold me close and take me down
