In the beginning of a wounded man Things could fall or things could stand around me In the beginning of a suffering heart I lost my place but I found the part for me In my world crashing, world falling down My world crashing straight to the ground In the middle of a restless soul I'm looking for some things I'd like to know about me In the middle heart of trusting heart I found the place where I'm ripped apart by you In a world crashing, world coming down A world crashing without a sound In the end when the story is told Will you be looking for a heart of gold in me In the end when I take the stand To testify about the wounded man Will this fade away...

Catch a falling dream, put it in your soul Catch this fallen man, bring him in from the cold And I'm sweeping up the memories from a life filled with pain I'm dreaming about these mysteries again and again The sun's behind the clouds now but I won't complain No I don't mind the rain No I don't mind the rain And when you're through with me Send me back home again It's a beautiful release From everything that we had planned On the road to regret it's a breakneck speed If I could just slow down and see the things I don't need Reach out to the mirror see the face that's the same Reach down to the ground and lift me up again

Headed west across the sky Can't stop the tears coming to my eyes All wrapped up in baby blues I've got nothing, yet everything to lose The day you lost was the day you found What it takes to burn it down Now ashes blow into the wind Your frozen tears will thaw again Can you read the terms and unconditions That are written in my heart Can you accept the terms and unconditions I am here to blow your world apart I felt your heart from days of old And now the story never will be told Our voices lift into the void Look at all that's been destroyed Can you read the terms and unconditions That were written in my heart You couldn't read the terms and unconditions I was here to blow your world apart Can you read the terms and unconditions That were written in my heart Can you accept the terms and unconditions I just want to blow your world apart

Again 05:51
Empty, empty again – My face to the wall, my back to the plane Goodbye, my keys are turned in – Spent all I had left Empty again Never was the one to say I love you Never was the one to say I care Now I find myself wishing again Frozen, frozen again – My feet on the stones, my mind on the pain Can I lose more than I've already lost My heart has gone missing in the cold northern rain Can I be the one to say I love you Let me be the one to say I care Your eyes they cut me but there's numbness there Leaving, I'm leaving again – all I have left is all that remains Here now, confusion sets in All I can say is that I'm wishing again Wishing I was the one to say I love you Wishing I was the one to say I care Bottled up goodbyes are simply waiting again Goodbyes are waiting again Goodbyes are waiting Goodbye

You know, it's soul Gotta know, how I roll One day, you came Put the silence to my shame Now the fear, coming near Kick the darkness back outta here Up hill, down hill Had my fill of the bitter pill Some days, can't explain All the things that are in my brain So tough, had enough Crawling out from beneath the dust I'm tired, so tired Pick me up babe, feed the fire Come far, here we are Bleed the truth from my guitar Been around, I've found Never gonna, back down Been bought, been sold Don't let them tell you that you're too old Uptown, downtown Everything comes back around It's the same, every day Take my heart, take the pain Wake up, rise up Take the cup, it's not enough I'm here, still here Driving blind but things are clear

Any minute now, I'll be waking up Any minute now, I'll remember my dreams Any minute now, you'll walk back in the room Any minute now, I'm gonna run out that door Any minute now, I'm gonna fly like a bird Any minute now, I'm gonna lay down this cross Any minute now, I'm gonna sink like a stone Any minute now, I'll be back on my knees Don't turn me down, Don't turn me down Just turn me up, It's the sound... Any minute now, I'll know who you are Any minute now, I'll remember who I am Any minute now, I'll believe there's a love

Pushing Away 04:42
Can you hear me now? It's the same old thing Can I make it up somehow? I still feel the sting It's the same old sound ringing in my ears You tell me no but I don't want to hear Are you satisfied you finally got your way I want you back but you just kept on pushing away... It's written in the books; In the tears of time The foundation shook but you heard no cryin' In the destruction zone you took your place You saw the pain scribbled on my face It's over now you can go your way You needed a love but you just kept on pushing away... I'll be back again, just wait and see At the place and time you won't expect to see I will undo your heart, possess your soul Change your name, from days of old And you will see me now in a different way Will you love me then or will you keep on pushing away...

When I was a boy didn't ever feel There was any way to become a man Fighting with the past, sleeping on the future Presently outrun to my master plan Years fall so far behind me They'll never find me where I am Faces so close together Tell me I'm never who I am Then you came along showed me how to feel good Was there any way you would stay around Fighting with the boy, sleeping with the future Pulled me by the hand 'til we ran aground Years fell so far behind us They'll always find us where we are Faces so close together Tell me I'm never who I am Lead me to light Years that come up behind me No longer remind me of who I was Faces so close together Are starting to weather from the storm Lead me to light

Too Late 03:45
I can't stay long where the sound of chaos reigns Last call shut it down, leave the way I came I can't stay long looking right at you You penetrate my soul tell me what I know is true And it's too late to call it a night My heart breaks down in the cold moonlight And it's too late for flowers to bloom Chances are that chances won't come again soon I'm tired of this; tired of playing God Tired of mending fences that never should have been broken at all You can have all of me if that makes any sense Promises are like rainbows, you sit and wonder where they went And it's too late to call it a night My heart breaks down in the pale moonlight And it's too late for flowers to bloom Chances are that chances won't come again soon

Nothing Else 03:59
Take a step back in time Looking around for the things I can't find I see shadow of me, a shadow of you Two kids that I can't recognize Trying to figure out what is right But they're a shadow of me, a shadow of you I'm waking up – There's nothing else Opening my eyes – There's nothing else Clearly seen – you right in front of me And I see – There's nothing else Our minds take the reins While our hearts try to keep it sane But there's a shadow of me, a shadow of you Nothing else I wanted to do But to feel the deepness of you But there's a shadow of me, a shadow of you We're finding a new way Pushing us on these days Our pincushion heart cannot take anymore

Ghost 05:22
Once upon a time A story crossed my heart and hoped to fly And suddenly I saw The living breathing me and I don't know know why Your love is a ghost that passes right through me Your love is a ghost that passes right through me Colors of my life Painted by numbers Then you walked across my dream Now I'm only left to wonder ('cause) Your love is a ghost that passes right through me Your love is a ghost that passes right through me And you can clear the way For a life, for a risking But when the music plays Will you still be listening? I'll still be listening Whispers of a love But the story went missing The poet's voice is still heard Through the lips he still keeps kissing
