The Voice of Reasoning

Have you ever felt a pain
you’ve tried to erase
but you’re feeling high, you’re feeling low
but it still remains
I feel the time is near
I’ve got to let it go
and open up my heart again
cause hate is all you’ve shown

And I just wanted to feel
all the love that you hold inside
you never let it escape
all the love that you hold inside
you keep pushing me away
with all the love that you hold inside

How long can I run
run from the past
it’s a pain that seems to burn a hole
right from my chest
to say that you love me
will make you feel weak
it’s easier for you to hate
cause your love is like the breeze

Come gather round, take my hand
one moment in time we'll defend
so tell me will this be the end
or is it a new beginning?

Let's go
We have to find the light

Let's go
One more try

Let's go
As day fades

Let's go
Tonight

The sea’s bed

What words can I place here
what more can be returned
it seems though you have tried
no one will ever feel your bleeding
and now the time’s come to leave here
to go find myself again
I'll enter her very softly
And float away from this land

all the pain inside
that we try to hide
if you can’t find me
look beneath the sea's bed

The sea’s bed

Maybe the calms out there
underneath the surface
so go listen carefully to the proclaiming wind
who carries with it
and that is what I’ll remember
the sweet smell of rambling sea
one final breath and I’ll dive down
her words become obsolete

And this is what I’ll remember
the pain of being alive
just like a bewildered child
who’s only trying to hide

All the tears we’ve cried
in an endless fight
if you can’t find me
look beneath the sea's bed
all the pain inside
that we try to hide
if you can’t find me
look beneath the sea’s bed

everything that you called to be unified
everything that you gave to the otherside
everything that you want to be you know
everything that you got to see you showed
everything that you called to be unified
everything that you gave to the otherside
everything that you want to be you know
everything that you got to see you showed
everything that you got to feel you know
everything that you got to feel you show
everything that you stole to see inside
everything that you got to know you hide
everything that you know you feel alone
everything that you know you feel is shown
everything that you know you keep inside
everything that you know you wanna die

No one seems to understand
how my heart’s been pulled in half
so now here’s one final prayer
as I sink into her blue chasm

everything that you got to feel you know
everything that you got to feel you show
everything that you stole to see inside
everything that you got to know you hide
everything that you know you feel alone

And this is what I’ll remember
the pain of being alive
just like a bewildered child
who’s only trying to hide

all the pain inside
that we try to hide
if you can’t find me
look beneath the sea’s bed

Let’s go down
to forgiving sea
life’s profound
when all you do is bleed

If you’re sad then you may come with me
we can be sad together as we figure a way
to escape this world of emptiness,
so full of pain
like I shall never forget
the only place I feel free,
is on this bleeding stage
and that’s where I’ll be

I wanna drown
myself inside you.
love’s desire
is to make all pure and true.

Like when I was a little boy, so alive.
Now I’m old and just want to find away
to escape this world of emptiness,
so full of pain
so I’ll run down to the sea
cause the only place I feel free
is inside of a wave
and that’s where I’ll be
as I bleed

When I was a little boy I was alive
Now I’m old and know what goes on behind your mother fucking lies

So what

and when the beat goes down
come on

I will be free

So come with me
to escape this world of emptiness,
so full of pain
the kind you'll never forget
the only place I feel free,
is on this bleeding stage
and that’s where I’ll be
as I bleed

cause I can’t worry about tomorrow
it won’t take away my sorrow
everything has all come down to this moment right now

so I sit here alone
staring out of my window
as the world ambles on by
and as the days give way
to a lonely star-lit gaze
will everything become alright?

cause I can’t worry about tomorrow
it won’t take away my sorrow
everything has all come down to this moment right now
everything has all come down to this moment right now

and everything’s built up inside
all the pain that comes with life
and everything’s come down today
but I cannot run away
and everything’s built up inside
all the pain that comes with life
and everything’s come down today
but I cannot run away

everything has all come down to this moment right now
everything has all come down to this moment right now
everything

does someone else touch you
and does that mean we’re through
I’m trying to hold on

What’s it gonna be?
is it him or me?
why does life gotta feel this way?
forever and a day
forever-ever and day

does he kiss the way I do?
and hold you close and true?
as my world turns blue

and all those years we’ve tried
they culminate inside
as our love’s torn in two

What’s it gonna be?
is it him or me?
why does life gotta feel this way?
forever and a day
forever-ever and a mother fucking day

Now we’ve been pulled apart
forever and a day
seems our love has fought
you’ve got to get up now, boy and be strong
cause it looks like she’s moving on
but I hope he will give you what you want

so I guess this is goodbye
all I can do is cry
cause you were my best friend
and as end times draw near
in this world of fear
I hope we’ll meet again

What’s it gonna be?
is it him or me?
when it's like I'll feel this way
forever and a day
well baby can’t you see
that you were meant for me?
and if this is the end I’ll love you
forever and a day
forever-ever, forever-ever and a...

You’ve got to believe
in what you feel and not what you see

Have you ever been so low
that you are numb from head to toe
like all you want to do is cry
but you’ve gone completely dry inside

Will this hurting now subside
as the moon pulls on the tide
waves of confusion for life
All flowing and satisfied

I think there’s a burn in me
is it love or insanity?
one day you’ll learn to believe
in loves very subtle scheme

girl it’s like we fought a war
time to lay down our swords
take my hand we’ll make a song
that can provoke our love
cause oh how I want to feel you
like a current electrifying you.
and this is all just to say
that soon there may come a day.

I feel there’s a burn in me
is it love or insanity?
one day you’ll learn to believe
in love’s very subtle scheme.
so is it you in me
squeezing my heart till it bleeds
fuck you if you don’t believe
in love’s very subtle scheme.

oh, you’ve got to believe
in love’s subtle scheme
has found me
and now its bound me
your love defines me
but is it love or insanity?

insanity

I have never felt such confusion
Out of sorts by love’s dillusion
is it you who defines me
in love’s subtle scheme

You’ve got to believe
in what you feel and not what you see.

Left so hollow
and everything makes me cry
and I’m unable to change stars in the sky.

And all the times we’ve said goodbye in pain
one final kiss in pouring rain.
Is this the last time we’ll embrace?
How many times can my heart break?

Feeling nothing, but the burning of tears
who fall like the, the sun who disappears
sinking to a very quiet somber
accenting her untimely departure

Like a lover who’s been left behind
Watching as her plane takes the dusking sky

And all the times we’ve said goodbye in pain
one final kiss in pouring rain.
Is this the last time we’ll embrace?
How many times can my heart break?
(all the times we’ve said goodbye)

All the times we’ve sat alone and cried
Thousands of miles to wonder why
Was that the last time we’ll embrace?
How many times can my heart break?
(all the times we’ve sat alone and cried)

All my life
it hurts so bad
always saying goodbye
tonight

We always suffer
We always suffer
We always suffer
We always suffer
For love
For love
For love
Love

All the times we’ve said goodbye in pain
one final kiss in pouring rain.
Is this the last time we’ll embrace?
How many times can my heart break?
(all the times we’ve said goodbye)

All the times we’ve sat alone and cried
Thousands of miles to wonder why
Was that the last time we’ll embrace?
How many times can my heart break?
(all the times we’ve sat alone and cried)

All my life
it hurts so bad
always saying goodbye

I never felt so alone
since coming home.
Guess I’ve got to be strong
cause now she is gone
and now she is gone
all I've got are these songs
cause now she is gone

Feel the sun rest on my back
if I turn will its rays refract
all the tears that have dried on my face
coming home to an empty place.

For I know that she’s not there
but it seems that she’s everywhere
memories of her warm embrace
filling my soul with heartache

So is she gone for life?
as her memory burns
it’s burning inside
feeling alone tonight
as her memory burns
it’s burning inside.

it’s gonna be a dreadful night
too late for savage sleep
and there’s a wonder born
a wonder born oh so deep

Who asked to take away this pain?
tell me why life is fragmenting
memories of her warm embrace
is lining my silhouette with so much heartache.

Cause now she’s gone tonight
but her memory burns
it’s burning inside
feeling alone for life
as her memory burns
until I die
I’ll be burning inside
I’m burning inside
I’m burning inside
I’m burning inside
I’m burning inside

never felt so alone
since I came back home
cause now she is gone
and I’m the one left too far...

gone tonight as her memory burns
it’s burning inside
feeling alone tonight
as her memory burns
until I die
I’ll be burning inside
I’m burning inside
I’m burning inside
I’m burning inside
I’m burning inside

She's everywhere

Right
Alive
Tonight

Come on gather round let’s sing a song
Take my hand and we can come a full
circle cause it has been far to long
Will you show me the way cause I’ve been lost
Life comes with a cost
Oh no

Wanna lose my mind
the absence of time
dreamed of this moment
for most of my life

All that matters is we are here tonight
you and me as the light of the new day shines
all that matters is we are here tonight
feeling so free as our hearts will scream inside
tonight

Have to run away from all the pain
get away before it catches me
show me how to release yesterday
where my love turned a resentful gray
so tonight I will stay.
Oh no

Wanna lose my mind
the absence of time
dreamed of this moment
for most of my life

All that matters is we are here tonight
you and me as the light of a new day shines
all that matters is we are here tonight
feeling so free as our hearts will scream inside
oh scream inside
oh scream inside

Tonight

Wanna lose my mind
the absence of time
dreamed of this moment
for most of my life

Let love shine bright
absense of night
as love burns bright
we will survive

alive
tonight
can’t stop
this light

And it’s like no one believes
so I keep on struggling
sacrificing everything
will ever the tide be turning
don’t know what to say no more
sink or swim you fucking whore
you feed my insecurities
cause now I’ve given all of me

but you don’t care

you don’t care about me
you don’t see how I bleed
you don’t care about me
you don’t care
I’ll keep on trying
but you don’t care no more

When a voice is all you have
but no one gives you a chance
all you want to do is sing
but no one hears your feelings
come to the end of myself
and this is the only way out
so here is one more song
hope this time you’ll show some love

but you don’t care

you don’t care about me (you don’t care)
you don’t see how I bleed (you don’t care)
you don’t care about me
you don’t care
I’ll keep on trying
but you don’t care no more
and you don’t care no more

you don’t care (but you know I keep giving myself away)
you don’t care (cause already I have lost everything)
you don’t care (so this time will you remember me)
you don’t care (hope this time you’ll remember me)

you don’t care about me (you don’t care)
you don’t see how I bleed (you don’t care)
you don’t care about me
you don’t care
but I will keep on trying
You know I will keep on trying
but you don’t care no more
but you don’t care no more

And as I step outside this bitter conflict of life
I ponder if her cries can stop the stars from flight

The far wind blows off the ocean
as it whisked by the tips of trees.
who is saddened
just like I am
at the sight of their dying leaves
and I’ve just returned
from the vast highway of hurt
realizing what I had
guess I’ll never get it back

and look at how windswept my life’s
become since you left
you’re nowhere but my spinning head

she used to walk beside the pier
as the breakwater disabled
the coming swells
so I run there
to find lovers all strewn all about

I can’t believe I let you go
laying here sad and alone
guess you left to go find peace
are you happier with out me?

and look at how windswept my life’s
become since you left
you’re nowhere but my spinning head

No one seems to understand
as your sent blows off the ocean
I can’t believe I let you go
laying here so sad and all...

all alone

all the things I cannot change now
all the things that troubled me
all the times we fought her way
are all the things I did not see
and the only thing I’ve got now
is a very windswept life
because you’re so far away
so are you still my life?

so remember we had good times
and I’ll ever forget your lies
so does all love end the same?
leaving us all torn and broken

and look at how windswept my life’s
become since you left
you’re nowhere but my spinning head

No one seems to understand
as your sent blows off the ocean
I can’t believe I let you go
laying here so sad and all
alone
all alone

I wish I could be your answers
I wish I was everything you’d need
but I’m so lost
like a man being tossed
upon life’s sea, it gets the best of me

Guess all I can do is sing this song for you
and try to be there when you cry
maybe one day we will all end up free of this hurting
then we can all live without this suffering that we have felt

I wish I was the strength you need
to protect you from the darkest nights
but I’m simply
just a dreamer
thinking I can make everything alright

Guess all I can do is sing this song for you
and try to be there when you cry
maybe one day we will all end up free of this hurting
then we can all live without this suffering that we have felt
that we have felt
and I guess life is not so fair
but a song can give us strength
when we’re feeling so helpless
I guess all I can do, all I can do, is sing this song for you

For you
This song for you

Guess all I can do is sing this song for you
and try to be there when you cry
maybe one day we will all end up free of this hurting
then we can all live without this suffering we have felt
we have felt

The Passage

It had been some time
out there lost in life
now he doesn’t know where to go
so he moves on toward a pond
in the middle of the unknown
and looks below
all the lines traveling his face
his reflection doesn’t know its place
in the world
such a callous world
somewhere along his path
he now knows he crossed the gap
from a boy to a man

So stand up tall
cause here we go
through the passage
the passage
time to let go
of what is known
in the passage

So he walks on toward a tree
feeling torn between
and sits below the old growth
pondering this time
the choices we make
mold our lives
define our lives
and this is where he’ll have to make
one final choice that will dictate
the rest of his life
what to decide
as everything from the past
all the things that just won’t last
tear at his soul
as he sits alone

So stand up tall
cause here we go
through the passage
the passage
time to let go
of what is known
in the passage, the passage
So stand up tall
cause here we go
though the passage
the passage

The passage of life, life
and this is the passage
this is the crossroads
this is where he will have to decide, decide
between heart and mind
choosing what’s divine
between the dreams
these dreams that divide

This is where the path has led
The meaning lost so full of dread
and now we have to take a stand
in the passage
so tell me how one man can choose
when there’s so much to lose
but if he never lives he’s already died
so now time to decide
between your heart and your mind
time to decide

So what’s going to be
it’s all a mystery
but now he knows he has to go
with everything to lose
letting his heart choose
he moves alone into the great unknown

So stand up tall
cause here we go
through the passage
the passage
time to let go
of what is known
in the passage, the passage

The entire cd of THE PASSAGE - Boy Hits Car...Explains alot...almost as if this cd was made for this situation. Take what you want from it. But I just wanted you to know.

You are my friend...you were my lover. Nothing I can do could ever change that. It was great while it was there, and I wish there could have been more. But nothing I could do could ever change that now.
