I know you've heard it before, but is it ever enough Cause everyone's their own whore the only difference is us It makes no sense to believe that all that glitters is god But life is all about me, so all that glitters is god Makes no sense to believe that all that glitters is god But life is all about me, so all that glitters is god Burning out is not the same as life So march along or run round like you're high Cause everyone is their own whore the only difference is god It makes no sense to believe that burning out is not life So everyone is a whore just running round like they're high Til all that glitters is god The only difference is us

Woke up this morning your hair was a mess Woke up this morning your hair was a mess Got something to say but you can't seem to catch your breath Woke up this morning my head was a wreck Woke up this morning my head was a wreck Got nothing to say with those hands wrapped around your neck Woke up in a daze you're in a better place than I Woke up in a haze cause you didn't say goodbye Woke up feeling lazy cause you've gone crazy, don't lie When I woke up this morning When I woke up this morning I just gave you hell When I woke up this morning I just gave you hell Got something to say with your feet in the wishing well When I woke up this morning I sat and watched you drown When I woke up this morning I sat and watched you drown You scream and you scream but I never did hear a sound Woke up this morning you were already gone Woke up this morning you were already gone Got nothing to say so I sat down and wrote you a song

You came to the right side to forget your soul Day to day leaves you empty anyway Nothing gained more than memory and shadow Telling stories leaves you empty anyway Ten stories tall, when you fall Can't tell them all that you didn't know Stand up straight, you can wait For a better day to stop and go I know you never meant to drink this poison Then again you don't care anyway Took your time and then you gladly took another No one cares what he said now anyway Ten stories tall, when you fall Can't tell them all that you didn't know Stand up straight, you can wait For a better day to plant your stone You came to the right side just to drink this poison I know you never meant to forget your soul Nothing gained but still you gladly took another I took my time with memory and shadow Ten stories tall, when you fall Can't tell them all that you didn't know So stand up straight, and you can wait For a better day to strip my soul

Come on tell me what's on your mind how many days will we have to fly Stand on the edge it's time to try I hope he doesn't catch our bloodshot eyes It works for Dave, the show is nice a pawnbroker maybe but who makes the size Saturday night he's better than I all the thoughts in the trash would love to lie... Dont wake the sun Dont wake the sun Shame on me, you shouldn't say they're good cheerleaders til they let us play I think they did twice a day I don't know my history or so I say Lock it up and burn the clay nobody's gonna know we went that way So come on over sometime today I'd much rather live in a shade of gray Dont wake the sun Dont wake the sun

Crazy 03:52
Some people say that I've just been crazy I've gotta admit it's not much fun being sane But you manage your mind just taking the time being lazy You don't care at all So we stand and I throw my broken hands on the table Erasable lines that keep me away from the sun I'm young and old because I was told I'm only dreaming You don't care at all
6.
Going Home 04:23
Tell my mother though I love her I won't be here anymore Tell my father not to bother To care at all I'm going home Sorry my darling I wish I could stay I'll miss your touch Sorry my boy I wish I could play You've grown so much I'm going home I'm going home til my dying day Cold on stone There's nothing more that I could say That won't break my bones So I'm going home

Rain 04:23
Rain falling out my window as you stumble through my door I get the feeling sometimes like I'm sinking through the floor Rain falling out my window and you crawl through my door Sometimes I wonder if you will leave me alone and poor Keep me alive just til I die Buy all my time so I can get by Tell me the truth disguised as a lie Just til I die Rain pouring out my window as you kick down my door You gave me what I wanted but now my mind is getting sore Sun shining through my window As you storm out the door

Are you going to Scarborough fair Parsley sage rosemary and thyme Remember me to one who lives there She once was a true love of mine Tell her to make me a cambrick shirt Parsley sage rosemary and thyme Without no seam or needlework Then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to find me an acre of land Parsley sage rosemary and thyme Between the salt water and the sea sand Then she'll be a true love of mine Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather Parsley sage rosemary and thyme And to gather it all with a single feather Then she'll be a true love of mine

Happy 04:51
Too busy building plastic cardboard illusions To prove that you are worthy of respect and authority To see the darkness in your eyes It has a face and it seems to resemble mine Happy, oh hallelujah you are happy Too busy building plastic cardboard ammunition Or fighting your brothers over red cups and lipstick men To see the darkness in your eyes That's rebuilding your memory from lies Happy, oh hallelujah you are happy Happy, oh hallelujah you are happy

God don't never change And I know he always will be God God at the dawn every morning God in the middle of the day God late in the evening when there's nothing left to say And I know God don't never change And I know he always will be God God in the middle of the desert God way out at sea By the help of the great creator Truly been a God to me And I know God don't never change And I know he always will be God God at the time of creation He was God when Adam fell God way up in heaven God way down in hell And I know God don't never change And I know he always will be God Yeah God don't never change Well he always will be God Said unto the mountain See how great I am Want you to get up this morning Skip around like a lamb
