Life Falls

Count all the things you left behind,

With your eyes glazed over,
See them as they fall through time,

Wish yourself to a far away land,

You can see the scars of tomorrow,
On the back of your hand,

Freedom's something you fight for,

Love's something you've got to give up for,

You surrender, you remember,

All the days that passed you by,

All the breaths you turned into a sigh,

And you weep, weep, weep,

As you sleep, sleep, sleep,

Holding fast to the secrets, that, you keep, keep, keep,

You bring yourself down, down, down,

With your hands nailed to the ground, ground, ground,

As your life falls to pieces round, round, round

You gotta pray to the cold,

To freeze all the lies you told,
And the vows you took, so long ago,
You laid naked and chilled on the floor,
Forgot by the gods you served,
And the idols you adored,
The words you shouted fell away,
Through the curtain of oblivion,
Beyond the ashes that laid at the end of the day,
The songs you sung when up to the sky,
And fell down on our heads,
And made us whole again,
When we were but frail shreds,

And you'll weep, weep, weep,

As you'll sleep, sleep, sleep,

Holding fast to the secrets, that, you keep, keep, keep,

You'll bring yourself down, down, down,

With your hands nailed to the ground, ground, ground,

As your life falls to pieces round, round, round,

Summertime Dreaming...

Wish I could buy a plain ticket or hitch a ride on outta here,
Only need for it to take me somewhere,
May it fly me off into the horizon,
To where, I don't really care,

Things ain't been quite so good back home,
And when it ain't good, it just ain't right,
It would be better to go it alone,
For a couple o' days and a thousand nights

Where will this summertime dreaming,
Take me,
Man, some golden shores and a deep blue sea,
Would surely free me,
Where will this summertime dreaming,
Take me,
Further than these eyes of mine can see,
Maybe,

Ain't seen a whole lot of the world,
But what I've seen sure ain't enough,
Wanna roam down the coast and meet a golden-haired girl,
Wanna see what poets have been, dreaming of,

I wanna tread the old and long path they say,
Exists between the moon and the sun,
Where there is no night nor is there day,
And the only thing you can do is just walk on,

Where will this summertime dreaming,

Take me,

Man, some golden shores and a deep blue sea,

Would surely free me,

Where will this summertime dreaming,

Take me,

Further than these eyes of mine can see,

Maybe,

Summertime,
Listen to the bells of freedom call,
Listen to them chime,
In the summertime,
Not much is needed,
Some good tunes,
Sunshine, mj, booze, heat,
And an open road,
That spreads as far as your eyes can see.

Where will this summertime dreaming,

Take me,

Man, some golden shores and a deep blue sea,

Would surely free me,

Where will this summertime dreaming,

Take me,

Further than these eyes of mine can see,

Maybe,

We Made Them All Fall

The dreams you dream in the midst of the heat of a summer night,
If not sought out will fade away like a poet's unspoken words,
The love that kindled with winged hope will shine bright,
For better or for worst,
And with heart in hand, and hands held high,
I'll drink to you, I'll drink to us,

I remember you were deep,
In the middle of the city streets,
Whilst everything was burning up
And the sky came falling down on our shoulders,
And the papers wrote about us,
And the singers sang of us,
And the poets told the tale,
Of how the gallons of our sweat,
And the flagons of our blood were lost under the finger nails,
Of those who lerked and crawled,
To make their way over the wall,
But we heard the call
And we stood tall
Singing long ago forgotten hymns of bravery and soul,
And we made them all,
Yeah we made them all fall,

Statues built to weather the passing of time,
Are beared by the unknown,
The anthems and cries of freedom that were sung long ago,
Are frail pebbles that can start up an avalanche,
And soffocate the hands that strangle,
And say no more

I remember you were deep,

In the middle of the city streets,

Whilst everything was burning up

And the sky came falling down on our shoulders,

And the papers wrote about us,

And the singers sang of us,

And the poets told the tale,

Of how the gallons of our sweat,

And the flagons of our blood were lost under the finger nails,

Of those who lerked and crawled,

To make their way over the wall,

But we heard the call

And we stood tall

Singing long ago forgotten hymns of bravery and soul,

And we made them all,
Yeah we made them all fall,

We can be heroes,
Maybe we'll be forgotten by tomorrow,
And discarted like yesterday's news,
But we can make our stand today.
Whilst our necks are still scaping the noose,

We can be deep,

In the middle of the city streets,

Whilst everything is burning up

And the sky comes falling down on our shoulders,

And the papers will write about us,

And the singers will sing of us,

And the poets will tell the tale,

Of how the gallons of our sweat,

And the flagons of our blood were lost under the finger nails,

Of those who lerked and crawled,

To make their way over the wall,

And how we heard the call

And we stood tall

Singing long ago forgotten hymns of bravery and soul,

And we made them all,
Yeah we made them all fall,

Alone

I've been running with silence,
And loneliness as well,
To me it's heaven,
Though to some it may be hell,

No uninvited presence,
No unwanted words come aknocking on my door,
Only silence and loneliness,
On my windows and walls, on my face and on the floor,

I'm alone, and I'm free,
I'm free to be,
To be, no one but me,
But me thinks that it's alright,
It's alright not to put up a fight,
Put up a fight all the time,
Time you spent alone ain't wasted,
Wasted is the time you spent living the lie, someone else created,

Lonely aching whispers of the wind,
Fill the bottom of your soul,
Burying the rest underneath,
Underneath the scolding cold,

You can hear the ancient call,
Screaming in the fire inside,
Waking up the ashes,
Of the dorment tide,

I'm alone, and I'm free,

I'm free to be,

To be, no one but me,

But me thinks that it's alright,

It's alright not to put up a fight,

Put up a fight all the time,

Time you spent alone ain't wasted,

Wasted is the time you spent living the lie, someone else created,

Come On, Come On...

Head is aching,
Hands are numb,
Life is too flaky,
I know that I ain't dumb,

With scraped knees,
And a broken heart,
It sure is difficult,
To make a brand new start,

Come on, come on,
Burn up the cold,
Come on, come on,
And your eyes will stare at the sun,
Come on, come on,
Walk off your hurting soul,
Come on, come on,
Running towards your loaded gun,

Come on, come on,
Come on, come on,

I'm blind, not by fate,
But because I wish to be,
They say that in ugliness,
Lies beauty,

But some things are just,
Too ugly to see,
I should know,
Trust me,

Come on, come on,
Everything is turning black,
Come on, come on,
Desire stripes are painting it back,
Come on, come on,
Lie down bleeding on the tracks,
Come on, come on,
There ain't no lies, there ain't facts,

Come on, come on,
Come on, come on,

Trying to forget?,
Well good luck with that,
When your mind's hangin from your pillow's noose,
Body lying softly on the bed,

Memories like piercing thorns,
Make their way across your head,
Just to make sure,
You don't ever forget,

Come on, come on,
Running from the rising tide,
Comeon, come on,
With nothing to say, it's okay to sigh,
Come on, come on,
Don't leave yourself back,
Come on, come on,
Always go along for the ride,

Come on, come on,
