SLEEPLESS LYRICS

1. Lying In Wait

Painted in black, our truths and the lies
But out lips and the body have lost control
Textures and patterns of those who defeat
The memory reminds my soul

So I'm standing now waiting for you
No, I'm lying in wait with nothing to do

Injured my flesh, the skin and the bones
But the nerves are right - or not - they're wrong
Pictures and sounds of those I would die from
Memories will make me strong

It's my hell
Shattered
Fall for me

Be with me this night, I'm lonely, it's so cold
Dream with me this night, I'm lonely growing old
Take the time and find your dark reality
Kil the lights inside and lose idenitity

Cold are my hands
Hot is my heart
Logic has crushed me
Right from the start

And for those of you
That light isn't true
The pain, the guilt
Vanishes, fades away and away...

2. Winds Blow Higher

And in the day and in the night
When I fear that's my fight
Winds blow higher (and the wind blows wild)
A thousand miles apart (tear me down, moonchild)
Today is the day of art

Shattered dreams, illusions in the night
Today I'm feeling right
Faith with me will always be
With ignorance in me, it's just a plea
For wisdom and technology
The faith with me

Time, prime time
Tomorrow we leave the sky
Time chasing time
There to see the future of my rhyme
There to see the future of my rhyme (with you)
Rhyme with you (to you)

Just a secret that has never been told
As the writing on the paper, it's bold
Break an entry, tear it down
Set it lose and turn it around

Take a chance to ask me a question
Far beyond your destiny
Collide your fear with your deepest depressions
It's too fatal for us to see

No matter what it turns, no matter how it burns
Turn the pages upside down
And let it go like a merry-go-round
(It's me you blame for, always me)

Where do you look for (you blame for)
Where do you search for (now I'm gone)
Winds blow higher, a thousand miles apart
Winds blow higher (and the wind blows wild)
A thousand miles apart
Moonchild

3. Sands Of Time

The sand, the grains - a symbol of time
The sea, the waves - a song with a rhyme
A desert wind

Time - shattering the images above and healing wounds
A desert wind, a frying sun
A holy war handled by an angry gun
The night, the moon, the sky, the stars above us
The day, the sun, burning the mysterious thoughts
Inspiring an artist

Did you ever think, did you ever know, did you ever feel
That I was last to go?
Waiting at the gallows pole
There's a time when our dreams should be fulfilled

The screen of rays full of mist
A little child grown by the loving priest

There's a time when our dreams should be fulfilled
The day we come back from the landmine field
Distorted figure covered in black
Another soul is hidden away from you
Well what's the point?

The sand, the grains - a symbol of time
Well what's the point
If your ego is based on your success?
So the story goes on like a game of chess

4. Solitude

Solitude is just a state of mind
Like a wave against the tide
Our raindrops fall before our eyes
Strings of faith held up so high - our lies

Losing my grip, eyes open wide
And my heart's like a burning inferno, tears are filling
Me from the inside
Left out alone, thoughts from the dark
As I see the moon turns white, I come out and bark

Like a wing of an angel dying
Embrace me with your fear
It's the heat of the moment
I'm ready, when my sight is clear
It's a dream of the day I hope for
Caress me till dawn - I come out at night

Show me those hidden faces
The dreams that once been told
Restless night as I gaze into the sky
Lonely days with a tear and a cry
Exposing my flesh to emotional rays
Tear me down in occassional phase
In a time my harp will play
In a rhyme my heart will pray

It's a way to make a living from it
As well as hiding here
Like a butcher with a devil's daughter
Her eyes are dark and queer
Is it a raining station?
Or is the white noise true?

5. Change

It's funny how I missed a life
Funny how I missed a life
Happy cause I don't know why

So I say to myself
And I feel the change
Begging my rage
And I know it's a part of our nature
So hear my lecture

Come over, come inside
And let me see the things you hide
Come over, can't you see?
It's a part of reality

So I say to myself
And I feel the change
Begging my rage
And I know it's a part of our nature
So hear my lecture

Feelings are a part of the universe
So why do we change the course?

As white as clouds
As right as rain
A feeling that's right
A feeling of pain

Global is the issue
When they want you to pinpoint
This mortal way of life
Illusions of my knife
Global is the issue (is the issue)
Do you want me to pinpoint?
My mortal way of life
Illusions of the knife

6. Strings

We pull our strings from the one inside
As the mind turns down from the thoughts we hide
I'll never forget the nights when our skin became pale
Oh I thought you said "take me now" or is it a tale?

The freezing hand of the killing kind
The loneliness of a burning mind
My finest hour as it turns into anger
We read what we see - danger
The tearing of a lip is away to wake
Drifting teardrops on my skin fill me like a lake
I'll never forget the nights
When our skin became pale
Oh I thought you said
"Take me now" or is it a tale?

Resonating strings echo with desire
Sparks made by friction, a light from a fire
Doors are closed and winds blow higher
Faith becomes a liar

Sometimes I believe what you get is what you give

7. Rain

[instrumental]

8. Moments

One second and I turn away
My shadow's gone and it turns to day
One moment and I go and pray
The light turns off and I sleep away
Did I ever believe you?
Did I ever forgive?
Did I ever obey?
Did I every betray?

A kiss from your lipstick
Will heal the scar you made
Held me up like a marionette
After I was laid

Can't feel your warmth
Can't feel your touch
Understanding so little
So much
Goodbye

We don't know the reason why
We try to leave the past behind
Still looking for some peace of mind

Hate how much you can rate
When you're feeling down, does it make you feel great?
Believe how much you can give
The door is open, you're welcome to leave

9. Do You Remember?

So they're here, by my side
Gathered all, black and white
Toy soldiers, day and night

So we put them to war
As the allies roar
For the right to live
And the fight for the right to give

Do you remember when I come home?
That there's a battle I'm coming from?
Battle that I'm coming from...

Why do we choose the anger in this life?
We do we lose our tember - it's my strike
Tolerance could be the name
Patience would be the game

And again and again I say:

What do we need?
What do we breed?
What do we choose?
What do we lose?

Tolerance could be the name
Patience would be the game

Do you remember when I come home?
That there's a battle I'm coming from?
Battle that I'm coming from...

If you see me cry then understand me, try
As the pressure within, draws to it's lethal way
The plate which holds our promises is breaking
The ground which holds our future is shaking

Would you remember when I come home?
That there's a battle that I'm coming from?
Do you remember when?
