The Streets at Night
00/00/95
Just the dark empty streets at night before me.
My feet drag I walk with
confused guides by my side
that I can't see.
Maybe tonight I'll walk to your house.
Doesn't matter you'd never let me in
I'd tap on the window and you'd grin
and tease and toy till you got your fill.
Then you'd lay down on your window sill
and ask what I was doing there.
I don't know what to do
I don't want to, but I care.
There’s something in you I want you to share.
I see the truth out there
and I see the truth in here
and all I've done is sit in my thinking chair
how I’ve missed the night’s cool air.
Oh, I want to scream, I want to run away,
I want to walk these cold summer streets with the highlights
gleaming in my eyes.
I walk these streets tonight
drowning lies in the full moon's light
hoping soon I find the truth that ran me blind
so I can loose my mind in the arms of a sigh
and recapture and revive the love in me that’s died.
The Night I Saw the Lies
00/00/95
I told you the truth: what it was that I saw
Then your heads turned, eyes rolled, like a slam in the jaw
I saw the darkness in the light of day
I saw my sanity and the wrong in your ways
I saw her face, as feared as our lies
Fell down and warned you, as my head hung and I cried
Emotions run wild - can we ever kill this child?
All this time and we don’t use the past to better the future?
My head aches soul burns: all this shit, and we'll never learn,
With our cold eyes hiding truth, we'll never make it to shore
Prepare for war, my friend, prepare for war
You know nothing of the chaos that's in store
Prepare for war, my friend, prepare for war
I can't live a lie even one more time
We’ve got to prepare for war
or we’ll never reach the door.
