WELL, I'M TIRED OF LIVIN' AND SCARED OF DYING
I CAN'T GET AHEAD AND THERE'S NO USE TRYING
THINGS WOULD BETTER CHANGE AND I AIN'T LYING
SOMETHING BETTER HAPPEN PRETTY SOON
YEAH, THE PEOPLE WORKING AROUND ME EVERYDAY
ARE GETTING PROMOTION AND A RAISIN' PAY
BUT I KEEP WORKING THE SAME OLD WAY
AND SOMETHING' BETTER HAPPEN PRETTY SOON
YEAH, THE MAN NEXT DOOR OWNS A 40 ROOM SHACK
RIDES AROUND EVERYDAY IN A BIG CADILLAC
BUT I'M STILL WALKING, THAT'S A FACT
AND SOMETHING' BETTER HAPPEN PRETTY SOON
WELL, I'M TIRED OF LIVIN' AND SCARED OF DYING
I CAN'T GET AHEAD AND THERE'S NO USE TRYING
THINGS WOULD BETTER CHANGE AND I AIN'T LYING
SOMETHING BETTER HAPPEN PRETTY SOON
WELL, EVERYBODY'S GOT A GIRL TO CALL HIS OWN
BUT I KEEP ON LIVIN' ALL ALONE
LIKE A KING WITHOUT A THRONE
SOMETHING BETTER HAPPEN PRETTY SOON
WELL, MY BROTHER JON, HE'S NEVER BROKE
HE NEVER WORKS A LICK AND THAT AIN'T NO JOKE
IF THINGS DON'T CHANGE, I'M AFRAID, I'LL CROAK
SOMETHING BETTER HAPPEN PRETTY SOON
YEAH, I'M TIRED OF LIVIN' AND SCARED OF DYING
I CAN'T GET AHEAD AND THERE'S NO USE TRYING
THINGS WOULD BETTER CHANGE AND I AIN'T LYING
SOMETHING BETTER HAPPEN PRETTY SOON
YEAH, SOMETHING BETTER HAPPEN PRETTY SOON

RECIPROCAL (acoustic)

I OPEN MYSELF TO YOU
I PUT MY TRUST IN YOU
I GIVE IT ALL
I'M AN EMPTY WOMB
ALL THAT WE ASPIRE TOWARDS WILL BE
ALL THAT WE DESIRE FOR WILL BE
I GIVE MYSELF TO YOU
I PUT MY FAITH IN YOU
I GIVE IT ALL
I'M AN OPEN WOUND
I LET IT GO
I LET IT

CAN YOU (acoustic)
03:53
|
|||
|
CAN YOU HEAR THE SOUND?
THE SOUND OF GHOSTS
CAN YOU HEAR THEIR WORDS?
THEY'RE SCREAMING
CAN YOU SEE THE SHAPE?
IT HANGS IN THE AIR
YOU CAN TRACE ITS PATH
IT FOLLOWS
THE TASTE OF BLOOD
DROWNING ME
CAN YOU FEEL THE HAND?
THE HAND THAT SCRAPES
YOU CAN FEEL ITS WEIGHT
IT'S GRINDING
CAN YOU SEE THEIR EYES?
THEY WATCH THE SKY
I ABHOR THEIR GAZE
IT BURROWS
THE STENCH OF DEATH
STRANGLES ME
I KNOW YOU...

HIDING PLACE (acoustic)
03:09
|
|||
|
EVERYTHING I DO IS A CHARADE
A FALSE FRONT TO KEEP THE ENEMY AT BAY
SO I BARE MY TEETH BUT LOOK AWAY
I’M AFRAID THAT YOU’LL SEE ME
THIS IS MY HIDING PLACE
BEHIND THESE ROTTEN WALLS
I’M SLOWLY WEARING AWAY
AN OPEN DOOR DRAWS YOU NEAR ME
SO I LET MY BARRIERS DECAY
I WANTED YOU TO KNOW ME
THIS IS MY HIDING PLACE
BEHIND THESE ROTTEN WALLS
INSIDE THIS ROTTEN MIND
HIDDEN FROM THE ROTTEN WORLD
EVERY SHADE OF MY COUNTENANCE
IS A VEIL TO CONCEAL ME
AND WHEN IT FALLS APART
IT WILL REVEAL ME
THIS IS MY HIDING PLACE
BEHIND THESE ROTTEN WALLS
INSIDE THIS ROTTEN MIND

BURY ME (acoustic)
02:58
|
|||
|
WON'T YOU LAY ME DOWN
UNDER ROCKS AND SOIL
LET MY THOUGHTS UNWIND
LET MY LIMBS UNFURL
PLEASE LAY ME DOWN
UNDER OPEN SKY
LET OUR THOUGHTS DISSOLVE
LET OUR LIMBS ENTWINE
LET ME REST
LET ME BREATHE
LET ME DREAM FOR AWHILE
WON'T YOU LAY ME DOWN
IN THE CRASHING WAVES
LET ME WASH AWAY
TO AN UNMARKED GRAVE
PLEASE LAY ME DOWN
IN THE MOSS AND LEAVES
OH PLEASE BURY ME
LET ME REST
LET ME BREATHE
LET ME DREAM FOR AWHILE

SEEK COMFORT (acoustic)
03:28
|
|||
|
I FIND PEACE
IN THE COLD QUIET OF MORN
IN THE ILLUSION THAT I'M ALONE
I FIND HOPE
IN THE CALL OF BIRDS AT DAWN
IN FIRST LIGHT THAT BURNS THE FOG
DO YOU SEEK COMFORT OR AN ANSWER?
WHEN WE KNOW NOTHING'S GETTING BETTER
SO LET'S REVEL IN THE DAY'S POTENTIAL
AND ENJOY OUR TIME HERE TOGETHER

DID YOU SEE HER?
02:51
|

|
DID YOU SEE HER LOOKING ROUND THE EMPTY ROOM
DID YOU FEEL HER ANGUISH, FEEL HER GLOOM
DID YOU SEE HER LYING ON THE EMPTY BED
DID YOU THINK OF THE THINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID
DID YOU SEE HER
ALL ALONE AT NIGHT SHE WAITS
FOR SOMEONE TO CALL BUT HE'S ALWAYS LATE
DID YOU SEE HER LOOKING AT THE EMPTY BED
DID YOU THINK OF THE THINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID
DID YOU SEE HER
ALL ALONE AT NIGHT SHE WAITS
FOR SOMEONE TO CALL BUT HE'S ALWAYS LATE
DID YOU SEE HER LOOKING ROUND THE EMPTY BED
DO YOU KNOW THE THINGS THAT GO ON IN HER HEAD
DID YOU SEE HER
DID YOU SEE THE BLOOD AS IT RUSHED FROM HER VEIN
DID YOU FEEL HER HEART BREAK, FEEL HER PAIN
DID YOU SEE HER LOOKING AT THE EMPTY BED
DID YOU THINK OF THE THINGS YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID
DID YOU SEE HER
DID YOU SEE HER CRY
DID YOU SEE HER AS SHE KNELT TO DIE
TEARS IN HER EYES
I WATCHED HER CRY
TEARS IN HER EYES
DID I SEE YOU CRY

I'M SO SICK OF THE CITY
SICK OF CONCRETE AND GRIME
SO SICK OF FEELING TIRED ALL THE TIME
I'M SO SICK OF OTHER PEOPLE
AND ALL THE THINGS THEY SAY
EVERYONE ALWAYS WANTS TO GET THEIR WAY
EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING
EVERY ERA, ITS DEMISE
I TAKE PLEASURE IN KNOWING
IN THE END, EVERYONE DIES
I'M SO SICK OF THE CITY
WHERE THE SUN NEVER SHINES
HOSTILE STRUCTURES WORKING AS DESIGNED
I'M SO SICK OF THE RAT RACE
SICK OF GEARS THAT GRIND
NEVER STOP OR YOU'LL BE LEFT BEHIND
EVERY CLOUD HAS A SILVER LINING
EVERY ERA, ITS DEMISE
I FIND PLEASURE IN KNOWING
IN THE END, EVERYONE DIES
