Straight into a prediction
so she says I cannot hide
trapped by condition
it takes a lot to get inside
hit bent to recover
it takes a lot to forget
but she knows it
I can't bring myself to
I can't bring myself to leave
she takes it
but I take it back
I'm just fooling she
she says she's got the motion
says she's got it in her hands
but she's just fooling me
she don't hold a thing
I bought it and
I really paid for it
please don't let me down
I bought it and
I really paid for it
I wanted you to leave
without leaving me

one two you're just being you
three fortunately leaves us standing for a while
chance ride on a tune
that will break down and leave us where you left me
will you forgive me
i gave a name to no mans prize
the day ends the weeks are coming down
will you deceive me
do you believe yourself
now you've left no place to go
can you believe me
how do you deceive yourself
this day ends the week are coming down
caught in the motion and in like this
luck shining down on me
is burning down our history
a truth i still don't understand
the pang in victory
is something i won't live to see
and far more than i can comprehend
i just cannot believe
that i could fall so easily
sometimes its more than i can bear
i cannot believe
that i get lost so easily
when i'm not going anywhere
when the world is falling
tell me will you be falling
or will you be leaving us behind
or leaving us right where you left me
your simple guarantee
simply don't mean much to me
if you're going i'll be taking this one down
there are no guarantees
so if you're sure please assure me cause
i guess i'd like to know where i'm going

listen good and hard my friend
i won't tell you again
there's someone at the door now baby
just begging to come in
i feel a chill well as this nightmare creeps up over me
suffocating in my bed
so you got a dream
well tell me what you're on
cause i just don't dream anymore i swear
i just can't trust anyone
you must have a way
no evidence of solution
a fine time to listen
shut down listless on the floor
i know but i can't be sorry
i know that i can't worry
about all this anymore
there is no evidence of solution
and i'll take no more
you got something to say
you got something i don't want to hear

simple man
there's a plan to break you
you shine like a star tonight
i'm of the opinion that it's not simply the price
we always resolve to excuse
we always find it waiting for that someday soon
a promise that dissolves in excuse
so caught up in lies
so far sometimes i just have to clear out my head with a quick kick
gamble with the words i say
risk it all on the chance she'll stay
but she says that she don't need me at all
simple man
simple tone
never finding your way home
the price is left to someone
the price will draw you into
the price is absolute(3)ly
and just the loss you wait for
i guess you get what you pay for
and i'm swinging low on the cash
gotta hope that this will last
through the tireless night
cause it will not be alright
cause i know that she don't need me
now or ever again
simple man
there's a plan to break you
a plan to wake you
a plan to shake you
and when she leaves i know she won't be back again
and when she's gone i know i'll still be left a simple man
so she leaves and i'm left just so simple

take a seat
hey do you want a drink
i don't want to be alone
she sits down
glass is cold
lips so warm
she don't want to be alone
take it down
take it in
forever have another
suck me down
take me in
plain as darkness
hands above her head
she waits
she don't want to be alone
head spinning
i long to be with her
take a chance
drink
there's no more
mister nice guy
my head is reeling
one more drink
she's reeled in
and she's falling down
take me down

so far under now
so far down i gotta get it right
i gotta get out i gotta get it right
i have to get up i gotta get it right
so now i wait again
wait for this day to end right down
we all get down and keep on going
what you must think
really don't mean much to me right now
i just keep on rolling and keep on moving on
it's so far down
you can bet that i will take this to far down
it's so far down
so far i can't see the ground
where are we now
are we going the distance or simply headed out
where are we now
are you with me baby or you just simply headed out
so fast it's lightning
so bright this dream seems it could be unreal
so wise and enlightening
it dictates just how you should feel
so right it just has to be real
now i wait again
i just want this day to end right now
and i'll get down i'll keep on going
what you must think
really don't mean anything right now
get your butt strolling i know where i'm going now
it's so close now gotta catch it
reach it just in time
ever so close now gotta catch it
reach it just in time
it will alright then
so fast it's lightning
so bright this dream seems it could be unreal
so wise and enlightening
it dictates just how you should feel
so right it just has to be real
i've grown to tired to understand
where we are where we stand
and yet we're on our way
i've grown to tired to understand
where in this world i am
but yet we're on our way
i've grown so tired
i feel so tired
and yet we're on our way

she has a long way to go
three sights set on something i don't know
she drinks the poison
stuck in her throat and choking
gotta breathe
gotta need something
every now and then we all need something
every now and then we all fall down
keep on walking talking like strangers in a crowded room
and no easy ride
want to take a ride into half my lie
baby want to take a ride into half this life
want to take a ride into half my life
pave a way to get inside
to the half left sitting in the bedroom
and it's so far
she won't even listen
it feels just right
once your inside
it's so enticing
once you're inside
it's so inviting
unlike the closed doors found waiting
baby want to take a ride into half this lie
slip away to get inside to get back to my room with you

Line Of Two

i guess i should be going
unless i'm stopped by your eyes
tempted by the moment
or is it just yesterdays lies
not sure if to forgive you
is just a means to this end
or just a new beginning again
i'm sure you'll take it slow and
i'll take it like i always have
listen to the moment
cause later we can make amends
it comes and goes and leaving down
its better than just falling again
simulate the motion
assimilate the dream
i know it can't be what it seems
always end in motion
always leaving everything
moving on alone now
like swimming through a sleepless dream
sink into the moment
you know you're all you'll ever need
and if the thought of leaving now
is just memory
i guess you should be going again
i'm sure you'll take it slow and
i'll take it like i always do
simply always moving
no way to catch hold of you
sink into the moment
and now you're leaving
my friend
simulate the motion
assimilate the dream
i know it can't be what it seems
always end in motion
always leaving everything
rationalize inertia into such
justifiable content conditions
the unconditioned forces
that wet your pallet and drench another in
biting discord as ravens as angels
in harmonious distaste
clutching grasping emptiness breathe until i'm home
sink into regret cling to sheets of panic and sweat
and never look through stained and tattered windows
wipe them clean seal them tight bring me back
to the never ending dreams of teddy bears subway fares
wake up to the cold indifference and breathe deeply
don't choke yourself on lingering questions that parley your existence
bewildering body of lifeless ornate pleasure
hidden treasure buried deep
subterranean karma within yourself
emptiness closes the gap never fills empty immortality dies
with sullen branches of lifeless limbs and falling
i catch the branch that once caught me redhanded black tongued
i wake the child within prisons of expectations
lost to boundless dreams of passion
she longs to have warm sheets clear head
clouded by cold days of wasted time
longing wanting loving hating deceiving herself into believing
she can still breathe while
holding her head below the current of her infinite doubt
pulling her with arms of unrelenting questions of her own
ceremonial cravings of salvation from herself beyond circumstances
behind situations that control and condemn her end
her means is all is saturated contaminated with
artificial solutions of artificial substance dripping down the dark wall
dream-time barrier
sleep never felt so far away
so close to the edge of the world encompassing fate
overwhelming destiny
love always conquers hate
but hate will always rise again and breathe its life into
the cold bone chilling twilight
6 am the alarm bell rings
