La dum da da dum Take the cup of delusion This empty hole inside Drinks the wine of remorse And giving cause to stumble It's sobering, the changes Don't turn around Don't walk away Don't try to lead When you don't know La dum da da dum Blotting out the stains of nonsense And drenched in this desire Spilling from an empty cup You bury guilt like sin Hurling smiles and judgments The blatant tone of your soul Creates a blackness deep within Don't turn around Don't walk away Don't try to lead When you don't know (2x) Bitterness trickles through This vein of tenderness Don't turn around Don't walk away Don't try to lead When you don't know (4x) La dum la da dum La dum la da dum La dum la da dum |

You there with your bag of gold Thought you had it all together But your hands are empty Does it matter now The pain it caused you cannot measure But who am I? Who am I to compare my pain to yours? Suffering is sweet agony Who am I to compare my pain to yours? My suffering must mean nothing So, hey there, quit imagining That you have left this life Your eyes are tired and your feet are worn No, no one seems to hear your desperate cries But who am I? Who am I to compare my pain to yours? Suffering is sweet agony Who am I to compare my pain to yours? My suffering must mean nothing If I believe that's the truth Then I believe you If that's the way it should be Then I believe you Who am I to compare my pain to yours? Suffering is sweet agony Who am I to compare my pain to yours? My suffering must mean nothing Who am I to compare my pain to yours? Suffering is sweet agony Who am I to compare my pain to yours? My suffering must mean something Must mean somthing to you, to me It's true Who am I? |

I'm never told that I am pretty I'm never told that I am kind And my soul burns now with fire Deep inside I want to become brave and courageous Not buried in self-pity of my own Ashamed and alone from all That's been done to me It's not my fault I remind myself You say don't be afraid But I feel afraid You say don't laugh or cry But I show emotion You say food will be on the table And birds in the sky But I'm hungry So hungry And it's cloudy outside You never loved me like a daughter You never even loved yourself And now you treat me like a burden Just another object on your shelf I want you to know now that I love you And this pain that I carry's not my own Ashamed and alone From all that's been done to you It's not you fault I remind myself You say don't be afraid But I feel afraid You say don't laugh or cry But I show emotion You say food will be on the table And birds in the sky But I'm hungry So hungry And it's cloudy outside No matter what I've done Or is done to me Nothing's unforgivable Or unable to be set free You say don't be afraid But I feel afraid You say don't laugh or cry But I show emotion You say food will be on the table And birds in the sky But I'm hungry So hungry And it's cloudy outside (2x) |

Questions drip from my umbrella Shadows hang over me Stand here, waiting I know the sky will break And bleed its light And kiss my face with mercy I'll endure the rain I will wait an hour more Not sure if I'll see anything Can I wait here anymore I'll endure the rain I will wait an hour more Not sure if I'll see anything Can I wait here any longer Teardrops vanish in a moment Rainbows hang over me Darkness, fading I know the sky will break And bleed its light And kiss my face with mercy I'll endure the rain I will wait an hour more Not sure if I'll see anything Can I wait here anymore I'll endure the rain I will wait an hour more Not sure if I'll see anything Can I wait here any longer (3x) Can I wait here any longer Wait here any longer |

It will be great to see you again Now that the old wounds have mended I promise I'll be waiting by the door Unlike so many nights before That night you found me in the living room Alone with the bottle I'd just consumed I cried for hours after you had left Must be hard to forgive Even harder to forget Take the 2nd right at the 2nd light Pass Cherry Street, go left It's the second house with the willow tree I'll be there, waiting Now that I've watched all the seasons change I've had time to see where my life had strayed And through every pain and disbelief You stood close by Through my lies, through my deceit So do you recall How to get here You might not recognize What you see Take the 2nd right at the 2nd light Pass Cherry Street, go left It's the second house with the willow tree I'll be there, waiting Through my selfishness Couldn't see where you were coming from It took your leaving to see To see what I'd become You saw past all the things I'd done Take the 2nd right at the 2nd light Pass Cherry Street, go left It's the second house with the willow tree I'll be there, waiting I'll be there, waiting I'll be there, waiting You never forgot how to get here You never forgot how to get here You never forgot how to get here |

More than a superstition When put in my position Temptations and opinions This heart's not my possession Hold tight to your convictions Hypocrites in all directions Cling to the things your father taught you Confess your sins to the One who bought you Do you feel all alone Faith has alway kept you strong If you could see my fear Should I believe or should I doubt I believe In the things that you never told me I believe In the things that you never showed me I believe I know my fears control me I believe In the things that you never told me Aggressive passive inhibitions Laughs before an indecision Do I run or do I stay When all I do may fall away Lack of faith in what I trust When all I measure turns to dust When all I know decays in vain And I am left alone again Do you feel all alone Faith has always kept you strong If you could see my fear Should I believe or should I doubt I believe In the things that you never told me I believe In the things that you never showed me I believe I know my fears control me I believe In the things that you never told me As I kneel in sanctuary Crosses all arouned to haunt me Architecture so divine Bread, the body Blood, the wine I believe In the things that you never told me I believe In the things that you never showed me I believe I know my fears control me I believe In the things that you never told me (3x) |

I know that you're on the inside You know that I'm looking out For me You're sitting pretty As I wallow in self-pity And there's no coming back for me You're crazy for thinking I'm above this You're crazy for believing I don't care You're crazy for thinking I'm below you You're crazy, you're crazy My ambition and every intention Is to go where I shouldn't go Pleasing to my eyes Through a wretched reply It's soothing to my soul You're crazy for thinking I'm above this You're crazy for believing I don't care You're crazy for thinking I'm below you You're crazy, you're crazy (3x) |

Blind soul lost in Chicago She fell asleep under a bridge Drowning out the sound of her sorrow She's finding it hard to exist She keeps running into herself Hoping to find somebody else She keep running into herself Hoping that she'll get out of wonderland Fame and fortune didn't become her So she says pennyless Needing so much more than tomorrow As she stares at the scars on her wrist She keeps running into herself Hoping to find somebody else She keep running into herself Hoping that she'll get out of wonderland She keeps running into herself Hoping to find somebody else She keeps running into herself Hoping that she'll find somebody better She keeps running into herself Hoping to find somebody else She keep running into herself Hoping that she'll get out of wonderland |

Been there before Slowly drifting out to sea Away from the tide And a darkness surrounds me I'm out of hope I'm out of strength this time I've never seen it No, I've never heard it I've never been it But I'm searching for it I've never seen it No, I've never heard it I've never been it But I'm searching for it A breath of air A calm that surrounds me But I want to know how To let it inside It gives me peace It frees this pain I hide I've never seen it No, I've never heard it I've never been it But I'm searching for it I've never seen it No, I've never heard it I've never been it But I'm searching for it (3x) Cure, cure, cure, cure |

Send angels, send angels, send angels Show me you love me Send angels, send angels, send angels Show me you love me He felt alone and aging unkind He knew there was trouble with this war inside So to feel young he did what he felt best Emptiness filling every vein He must be going insane To leave an entire world behind Send angels, send angels, send angels Show me you love me Send angels, send angels, send angels Show me you love me Crying the tears he lost as a child He couldn't even recognize The frail and injured man that he'd become Traces of his compromise Shattering his desperate tries Everyone makes a mistake now and then Send angels, send angels, send angels Show me you love me Send angels, send angels, send angels Show me you love me |
