Feel this way Feel this way Feel this way I was alone But I never thought I'd feel this way again When the floorboards underfoot were caving in And the walls were filled with foam And the chemicals were gone I never thought I'd ever feel this way again Let's start the show Now the Sunday Matinee is on again But the people in the play are paper thin Is the ending all you know? Is the Spirit good to go? I never thought I'd ever feel this way again And it's a strange day Trying to heal from these thoughts gone wrong And it's a strange day Time doesn't feel likes it's on my side at all And so we go Does a Big Bang mean the race will now begin? Can a man with tiny footsteps ever win? Is it safe to be alone? Will the demons soon be gone? I never thought I'd ever feel this way again And it's a strange day Trying to heal from these thoughts gone wrong And it's a strange day Time doesn't feel likes it's on my side at all And so we go Does a Big Bang mean the race will now begin? Can a man with tiny footsteps ever win? Is it safe to be alone? Will the demons soon be gone? I never thought I'd ever feel this way again I never thought I'd ever feel this way again I never thought I'd ever feel this way Feel this way Feel this way Feel this way

Faithless 03:53
Oh my Father Can you hear my prayer? You are all around us But I still can't find you anywhere Light my darkness Fill my faithless soul Feed my hunger 'cause my heart is like an empty bowl heart is like an empty bowl Oh my Father, fill my soul Oh my Father, fill my soul Oh my Father I am filled with doubt Will I ever find you? Will I ever work this whole thing out? Oh my Father I don't want to die With an empty chamber Where I'm told my faith should occupy Ooh my faith should occupy Oh my Father, fill my soul Oh my Father, fill my soul I am faithless, faithless I am faithless I am faithless, I am faithless Oh my Father Can you hear my prayer? You are all around us But I still can't find you anywhere Light my darkness Fill my faithless soul Feed my hunger 'cause my heart is like an empty bowl heart is like an empty bowl Oh my Father, fill my soul Oh my Father, fill my soul I am faithless, faithless I am faithless I am faithless, I am faithless Cool water flowing from the well But I'm hot as hell 'cause I'm faithless Rain falling down from the sky but my mouth is dry 'cause I'm faithless Fruit on the tree is ripe and sweet But I never get enough to eat 'cause I'm faithless

Gotta drive to a new destination I'll carry the load Think it's time for a new occupation I'm sick and tired of the road You're really feeling neglected I know But the bills keep coming and I've got to carry the load Gonna try to be more than a paycheck for more than a day 'cause the twins are talking, the baby's walking and I'm a thousand miles away you're really feeling neglected I know But the bills keep coming and I got to carry the load So bye bye baby, bye bye baby It's another day alone Just hold tight baby who knows maybe We'll make it through another day alone Gotta drive to a new destination I'll carry the load Give me one more day And I'm on my way To turn this house back into a home you're really feeling neglected I know But the bills keep coming and I got to carry the load So bye bye baby, bye bye baby It's another day alone Just hold tight baby who knows maybe We'll make it through another day alone This closeness we're feeling The road's been slowly stealing If we can hold on tight maybe we'll make it through another lonely night So bye bye baby, bye bye baby It's another day alone Just hold tight baby who knows maybe We'll make it through another day alone bye bye baby It's another day alone Just hold tight baby who knows maybe We'll make it through another day alone

Your sun refuses to rise The light is gone from your eyes You're drunk, now there's a surprise I don't want you around 'cause you've dragged me down for the last time, for the last time The monkey's off of my back My life is finally on track I've got my dignity back I won't run when you call 'cause I've taken the fall for the last time, for the last time Standing alone by the window Waiting for you to get me high Where did my mind and my will go All those years just passed me by I don't regret what I've done No, I can't blame anyone But if you're looking for fun I won't run when you call 'cause I've taken the fall for the last time, for the last time Standing alone by the window Waiting for you to get me high Where did my mind and my will go All those years just passed me by I don't regret what I've done No, I can't blame anyone But if you're looking for fun I won't run when you call 'cause I've taken the fall for the last time, for the last time for the last time I don't want you around 'cause you've dragged me down for the last time, for the last time, for the last time

I opened my eyes and saw the world with a new sense of desperation She turned out the light and tried not to cry when she sensed my humiliation I didn't love her She didn't mind We were looking for love out of lonliness We were looking for love all the time We were looking for love through the eyes of the young Hoping that fate would be kind When you're looking for love sometimes love can be blind I left for a while in search of the answers to questions that didn't matter She opened her eyes and found her a new love who knew how to treat her better I came back to love her She left me behind We were looking for love out of lonliness We were looking for love all the time We were looking for love through the eyes of the young Hoping that fate would be kind When you're looking for love sometimes love can be blind Sometimes the love that you need is just standing right in front of your eyes I was too young to believe and too late to realize I opened my eyes and saw the world with a new sense of inspiration She stayed in my mind giving me hope long after our loves duration I know there'll be others and I'll think of the times We were looking for love out of lonliness We were looking for love all the time We were looking for love through the eyes of the young Hoping that fate would be kind When you're looking for love sometimes love can be blind

I wanna travel, but I'm far from a rich man I'm as far as I can get without living in hell Maybe the army, I can reach my potential but the crewcut's essential and I don't do mornings very well The world is calling I'm not willing or able The world is calling Then again, there's always cable I can see the world on all seventy channels I can see the world and I don't have to travel to a faraway land I can go when it pleases me A faraway land and avoid all the foreign diseases Two O'clock in the morning books are really boring so I'll take a trip to the great wall Cables out again I missed my destination I guess it's just a pile of bricks way out in the Chinese sticks The world is calling There aint no way I'm flying The world is calling There are better ways of dying I can see the world on all seventy channels I can see the world and I don't have to travel to a faraway land I can go when it pleases me A faraway land and avoid all the foreign diseases I don't need painful vaccinations no problems with airline reservations I couldn't ask for more I can see the world on all seventy channels I can see the world and I don't have to travel to a faraway land I can go when it pleases me A faraway land and avoid all the foreign I can see the world on all seventy channels I can see the world and I don't have to travel to a faraway land I can go when it pleases me A faraway land and avoid all the foreign diseases

Gourmet food, vintage wine & you Rare filet, cabernet for two We'd feast at the table We'd make love 'til dawn But now that you're far away The flavor is gone The gourmet food, the vintage wine They're nothing without you Summer nights, my muscles tight and sore Well, you'd rub mine and baby I'd rub yours The music was quiet, the candles were dim But now that you're gone Atrophy's setting in The summer nights, the candlelight They're nothing without you Gourmet food, vintage wine & you Rare filet, cabernet for two My life is simple, my pleasures are few And all that I want is to share them with you The summer nights, the candlelight The gourmet food, the vintage wine They're nothing without you

I've been surprising myself The plans I'm making I keep surprising myself The chances I've been taking I get the feeling I'm invincible A modern Casanova The kind of rush that's irresistable and I'm flying high until the whole thing starts turning over Then I'm surprising myself the thoughts I'm thinking I keep surprising myself The depths to which I'm sinking The slightest movement to the other side and I'm an instant victim of the anxieties I chose to hide Secretly wired to spring out When my contentment tripped them I keep surprising myself I want no more surprises I'm like a prisoner who's been chained and bound and given a clueless riddle How can a man who won his higher ground quickly go from high to low and not even glimpse the middle? I've been surprising myself The hours I'm keeping I keep surprising myself The time I don't spend sleeping A given moment I'm forlorn at heart Then the next my spirits are reeling Sometimes I feel I'm being torn apart I guess I wish it could happen somehow Maybe then I'd know what I'm feeling I keep surprising myself I want no more surprises

Look at all the fine young people passing me by Now I know there's got to be another way, a better way Sitting on my ass for years I've fallen behind I didn't know that time would go so quickly through the grind Now I look at the fine young people They blow my mind Here I go my mountain will be climbed I'm on my way, I'm doing fine I'm living life again, I'm living life No more delay, no killing time I'm living life again, I'm living life When I was young I never doubted all I could do I didn't know enough to not believe in me I believed in me But then I felt what fear and failure can put you through Without a sound it dragged me down to depths I never new Then I looked at the fine young people They blew my mind Here I go my mountain will be climbed I'm on my way, I'm doing fine I'm living life again, I'm living life God bless my days, God bless my nights I'm living life again, I'm living life Now I look at the fine young people They blow my mind Here I go my mountain will be climbed I'm on my way, I'm doing fine I'm living life again, I'm living life No more delay, no killing time I'm living life again, I'm living life I'm on my way, I'm doing fine I'm living life again, I'm living life No more delay, no killing time I'm living life again, I'm living life I'm on my way, I'm doing fine I'm living life again, I'm living life God bless my days, God bless my nights I'm living life again, I'm living life Look at all the fine young people passing me by Now I know there's got to be another way, a better way

Every day's another battle You're terrified to lose your paddle 'Cause the river's rough Looks like you're in for a bumpy ride Don't spend your life in shallow water Take a chance, upset the order Don't be afraid go deeper Where the current is on your side There is salvation here for all mankind All that we see and feel is of the mind Thought is the ultimate energy Shaping your life is mental chemistry And if you concentrate, desire will create anything you need Look at your world and see what you have done There is no one to blame no place to run There are no victims here no judgements made You are the rain or shine it's your parade And if you concentrate, desire will create anything you need Don't be afraid of the impossible Don't shy away from the intangible Faith is what makes ideas reality Trust in your infinite ability And if you concentrate, desire will create anything you need Once you can find your way to understand Water will rise up from the desert sand oceans will part and clouds will disappear Wasting your life is all there is to fear And if you concentrate, desire will create anything you need
