EMBODYMENT LYRICS

1. Reaching Out

plain as day the industry was starving
i'll light your flame
turn away and leave the prize to others
i'm on way
set me up
pave my way
i'm reaching out
make a change the masses live in static
i'll ring your bell
for all the times they gave it up for nothing
i'll have my say
set me up
pave my way
i'm raching out
hear this, hear this, hear this...i want it more than love
it's golden, golden, golden...where the road ends up
hold it, hold it, hold it...savor what you taste
dan't waste it, waste it, waste it... dare to live
give your all, build your dreams, kill your fears
set me up
pave my way
i'm reaching out

2. She's There

i'm giving up on heart conditions
and loath the days of expectation
she only visits for a second
and leaves a nightmare for my soul
i prayed that God would end this torture
but now i fear to shut my eyes
but in my head she's there
i kick myself,recall her name
but in my head i know
she wanted me but i'm alone
i only dwell on formal glories
relive the best days of my life
but i refused to take her offer
she wept and somehow found the door
but in my head she's there
i kick myself, recall her name
but in my head i know
she wanted me but i'm alone
she's in my head...and i'll bring you home, clean all my mistakes
what's done is done, and it goes on and on and on

3. Golden Rule

help me, i've left a woman scorned
stay out, another chore undone
know this, i'm fading from your touch
i'm hopeless, my conscious weighs me down
i'm leavin, i'm cheatin
and what comes around goes around
draw back, and let the loss sink in
hod on, and fish amongst the sea
and tied down it's hard to be content
and bail out the finger points at you
i'm leavin, i'm cheatin
and what comes around goes around
i'm not your enemy...we just fell out
i'm not your enemy...i found new blood
hold back your emotions
speak within reason
turn on the lights
put down the knife
we can resolve this
i'm leaving, i'm cheating
and what comes around goes around

4. Time

for every word you say
and all the moments wasted
i'm finding out you're made for me
with every look i catch
and truth that is unspoken
i'm praying that you miss me
i'm nearly dead since you departed
and i wait for you, i wait for you and you said
time is all we have before us
hold our moments and don't turn away
i'm going out on faith
and bringing my devotion
you can trust i won't shame you
i'm nearly dead since you departed
and i wait for you, i wait for you and i said
time is all we have before us
hold our moments and don't turn away
and right away i knew we could make it
cos we're living and learning
and sacrifice tells us what we're gaining
in losing and taking
i'm holding out for the one that loved me
forever no playing
and in a way they could say we're crazy
for hoping and praying
i'll wait for you
time is all we have before us
and hold our moments
and don't turn away

5. Who's To Blame

it's your bleeding heart
and selling so well
an hour too late
too much time to kill
and forcing your tears
and milking the pain
and raking it in, the sin
and i already know there's one chance around
and the record shows you wanna make the grade
and the word is out you sold your soul today
and i already know
stick out your chest, the masses await
a white collar side show
the auction begins
they'll tickle your ear
and give you the grin
and it's such a shame, who's to blame
and i already know there's one chance around
and the record shows you wanna make the grade
and the word is out you sold your soul today
and it's over...
if you and i could find a way to make it right i'd go
but here we stand with troubles minds and empty ands
let it pass, let it pass

6. Don't Go

turn me up, get it on, i was yours, i was your man
but not in your hands
pull away, take it back, break your vow, call on my name
i've gone astray
lead me on, kiss my face, play my card, show me your way
cos i understand
take it off, spill your guts, lay it down, walk in my shoes
cos i'm in your hands
and i'll role your way
you have my heart in your hands-don't go
we've come too far, hold on now- cos i want you
turn away, hide your face, show your spine and be a man
you know what i mean
clean the page, share the view, be a doll call me tonight
i'm here by the phone
roll the dice, take a chance, live your life outside your box
and come to my world
make a fist, come aboard, bitter the taste in your mouth
but that's how it goes
and you rolled my way
you have my heart in your hands-don't go
we've come too far, hold on now- cause i want you
say you'll stay, make my day-don't go
say you're mine for all time-cause i want you
our souls will grow
we'll carry on

7. Segue Station

turn the lights out, hard ties out and grope
feed the body, break your oath and float
i'm tired of dying for you
and chatting with your ghost
no, you don't need it
no, you should fight it
no, you don't need it...no
bite the bullet, sear your flesh and blow
take the ransom, don't look back and run
she's tired of dancing for you and filling up your cup
no, you don't need it
no, you should fight it
no, you don't need it...no
close your eyes
seal your grave
turn the lights out hard ties out and grope
feed the body, break your oath and float
i'm tired of dying for you
and chatting with your ghost
and no...

8. It's Alright

push the child into the wheel
make your memories long
take the leap into the space
don't look back in fear
now here my voice
baby, i made it and it's all right
and i don't want it to end
chase your prize on through the grave
live beyond your dreams
seize the day and ride the wave
claim your destiny
now here my voice
baby, i made it and it's all right
and i don't want it to end
i reached beyond tall fables
vultures by my window
camera flashes daily
caught in the glare
welcome home! welcome home!
baby, i made it and it's all right
and i don't want it to end

9. White Flag

i had a feelin we're losing
and there was a reason, treason-denial
i had a feelin they're waiting...they're waiting
raising up our hands
white flag high
in a day you can say you own it
draw the line and define your behavior
i'm not like you, i won't be you
analyze all the lies you're promoting
i had a feeling we're cheatin
one has to make it, take it, or prove it
i had a feelin it's over
raising up our hands
white flag high
in a day you can say you own it
draw the line and define your behavior
i'm not like you, i won't be you
analyze all the lies you're promoting
i'm not like you, i won't be you, i'm not like you
we're at the end, the final lap, it's so alarming
we made a case, turned a cheek, but who's responding
tell the truth, don't delay, so are you buying?
burn the bridge, take the loot, hit the target

10. Jaywalk

clear your head one-time friend of mine
she's cold blue and no skin
whisper prayers to make amends
no promises to break
kiss my face and deny my name
once you were my own
close your eyes and resist the view
and throw your cares away
i called your name, come, come my way
i blocked your face, come my way
take the night to an open road
and choose your morbid fate
raise the stakes to a higher plain
this is life or death
i called your name, come, come my way
