@SONG: Simple
Tangle up your twisted tounge. It's simple
Mesmerize your everyday. It's simple
Hey hey can't you see?
Love is all that you should need
Can't you see?
Ease your troubled mind
Let love seek and let love find. It's simple
Ease your weary soul
Let love lead and let love flow. It's simple
Pry into combative times. It's simple
Forfeit all lush concerns. It's simple
Hey hey don't you care?
Love is all that you should share
Don't you care?
Cleansing out your tarnished heart
It's simple
Learning from each other can be simple
Hey hey don't we know?
Love is all that we should show
Don't we know?
@SONG: Untitled
Who have I left to please?
Take what you've yet to sieze
No more questioning
'Cause love is what love should be
Unveil to me all that you want
me to do.
But why should I stop hearing
allegiance to you?
See, I don't believe in
The sorcerers or the preachers.
I just don't believe i you
And I don't believe in
The scholars or the wise men
I just believe in you
What have I left to prove?
I speak all the words you choose.
Confine me in walls of truth
'Cause love does what love
should do.
No more sentence. All of my pain
has been freed.
Why should this end when your
mercy's all I need?
See, I don't believe in
The sorcers or the preachers
I just believe in you
And I don't believe in
The scholars or the wise men
I just believe in you.
@SONG: The World I Know
Has our conciense shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on.
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why
Are we listening
To hymns of offering?
Have we eyes to see
Love is gathering?
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one.
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
Too see my world below
And I laugh at myself
As the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I know
It's the world I know
@SONG: Smashing Young Man
Beggar's description
Of what I've been missing
Exploit your position
Don't think I didn't listen
Hey I hope you're feeling
A little better now
Success is so tragic
Pain is your gadget
Your tongue's just lashing
Just bitching by habit
Hey I hope your feeling
A little purer now
Hey I hope your feeling
Securer now
Help me I plea
I don't understand
Your ways and means
You smashing young man
Help me to see
The good you have planned
You're wearing thin
You smashing young man
You preach synthetic-like
Peace is an oversight
It's nothing to ignite
Your self-lit spotlight
Hey I hope your feeling
A little special now
Hey I want to tell you
I think you're special now
I don't recall asking for guidance
I don't recall wanting to
I don't recall bowing before you
But I'm so impressed
With the kindness in your attitude
@SONG: December
Why drink the water
from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards
your domain
Your cup runneth over
again
Don't scream about
Don't think about
Turn your head now baby
just spit me out
Don't worry about
Don't speak of doubt
Turn your head now baby
just spit me out
Why follow me to higher
ground?
Lost as you swear I am
Don't throw away your
basic needs
Ambiance and vanity
December promise you gave
unto me
December whispers of
treachery
December clouds are now
covering me
December songs no longer
I sing
@SONG: Where The River Flows
Give me a moment
Got to get this weight up off my chest
Don't feed me sorrow
Pain is a poison I digest
Find yourself another soul to hold
You think, you thought, I know
Off upon my journey I must go
To where the river flows
I'll give you answers
To the questions you have yet to ask
Silence is beauty
Word they only complicate the task
Make no more wishes
All of my patience has been spent
Gods of the season
Lead me to my next incident
@SONG: Gel
Color me any color
Speak to me in tongues and share
Tell me how you'd love to hate me
Tell me how you'd love to care
Well I just want to shake us up
Let's mingle
And make it well
Come together now
Yeah let's gel
Clothe me in any fashion
Glitter to so mundane
Tell me how you'd love to change me
Tell me I can stay the same
I just want to shake us up
Let's mingle
And make it well
Come together now
Yeah let's gel
Well let's bungle
And live to tell
How we came together
Yeah how we gelled
@SONG: She Gathers Rain
Today she dresses
For the change she's facing now
And the storm that's raging
A safe haven she has found
She doesn't care
What the prophets say anymore
For the love she had
She has no more
So she gathers rain
She gathers rain
To rinse away all her guilt and pain
She gathers rain
She gathers rain
To wash and cleanse and make
her whole again
Her imagination
Has started stretching wide
And her new conviction
No longer will she hide
She's not branded
When prophets speak words of fire
The same love she gives
She requires
So she gathers rain
She gathers rain
To rinse away all her guilt and pain
She gathers rain
She gathers rain
To wash and cleanse and make
her whole again
@SONG: When The Water Falls
She's a picture perfect child
of innocence
Searching out in childlike ways
for knowledge
Now she's questioning her mother
Yeah she's questioning her father
Yeah she's looking for the answers
To the problem that confronts her
Do you know where the sun goes
when the water falls?
Do you know where the rain goes
when the water falls?
Though I think her subjects could
run far and wide
She has centered on the topic
of the sky
Now she's questioning her mother
Yeah she's questioning her father
Yeah she's looking for the answers
To the question that confronts her
@SONG: Collection Of Goods
Resonate tones of saving grace
Seperate from the gods of hate
Alleviate all our doubting ways
Congregate to more loving days
A collection of peace where we
could live
A collection of hope for us to give
A collection of words that mean
we care
A collection of love for us to share
Recognize all equality
Vocalize solidarity
Exercise your tranquility
Glamourize all of love's needs
@SONG: Bleed
I think her gun's
unloaded now
I guess tomorrow
will be after all?
Who made me judge
and jury here?
It seems I'm bearing
witness to her fall
I don't know why
she cries to me
(she keeps her pain
as company)
'Cause it's only time
before we all must
bleed.
Mirrors of her
memory
Reflect nothing with
each word she says
Her views have got
me spinning 'round
I think she's burning
altars in her head
@SONG: Reunion
Change will come
Change is here
Love fades out
Then love appears
Now my water's turned to wine
And these thoughts I have
I now claim as mine
I'm coming home
Change has been
Change will be
Time will tell
Then time will ease
Now my curtain has been drawn
And my heart can go
Where my heart does belong
I'm going home.
