Without Me

Saw you crying on the roof
Begging for some proof
Cause you can’t live on
without me.
But if you’d try to speak
To the ones in need
Then you would see
what’s behind me.
Oh, but I cannot be my brother’s keeper, he’d ruin me.
If that’s the truth, then I’ll be damned for then you’d create a hellish land
No!
Brother in the gutter
Paper cup ‘n’ mother
Begging on their knees:
Father help us, please!
Do you deny from them
What you demand yourself
That they’d go on
without me?
No, that’s not what I meant; I need these walls, so I can heal them.
I need to keep them away from my lonely treasured heart, it’s the only one I’ve got, and it’s not for giving.
Go!
You say I’m demanding
But it’s you there standing
Seeking shelter from your own misgivings.
Anger and hate
A shameful trace
You better go on
without me

But I Lied

Do you feel the same
Do you share the thoughts I got
Do you feel the same
but are afraid to speak your mind out
Have you hidden your pain
that Little torturer inside
Have you sensed that stain
it can’t be washed away
I came to you with a humble thought
to correct the wrongs and do what’s right
I said I love you, but I lied…
just to calm you down
I said I love you, but I lied
Not sure what you want, not sure what you expect of me
If the one you see, is the one that you seek
So show me what you’ve got, what’s your truth and what’s your lot
Is your temper just a weapon, a shield of yourself
A bastion around your heart
I said I love you, but I lied...
just to calm you down
I said I love you, but I lied
I said I love you, but I lied
I said I want you, so I tried
I said I need you, I cried
I said I love you, but I lied…

If I'm Mistaken

All my best friends, they were there
We had a few drinks and thoughts that we would share
I show them my great plan, they tell I am mad
But to stick to the same old beat that’s just sad
So I left my former friends in their chairs
to amuse themselves with Big Brother affairs
I was certain of my purpose, and soon I’ll pull the curtains
The remedy it is here, just wait and you’ll see
The remedy it is here, just wait and see
But what if I’m mistaken
How do you protect your faith from breakin’…
So I sought for the company of likewise minded
and I asked of them for their guidance,
but they told me everything, that I already knew
And so I’m back to square one, where I once started
But what if I’m mistaken
How do you protect your faith from breakin’…
A troubled mind and a troubled heart
at the epicenter of worlds apart
Climbing up the stairs to Sacré-Cœur
to notice I’m not alone in the world
Down in the valley, a drop in the sea
On a mountain high you meet your martyrs’ dream
There’s a journey of seeking things that can’t be sought
and the devil on the street he can’t be bought
But what if I’m mistaken
How do you protect your faith from breakin’…

Crushed
02:37

Burn those letters of despair
Erase the traces of failed love affairs
Hide behind the make-up of truth or dare
See if I care
Nothing changes as times goes by
The anger swells, a rising tide
There’s more to love than meets the eye
I swear
Never will I ever feel that crushed
It’s carved to the bone, the stone of my soul
Cause once you’re crushed it goes on and on and on
Once you’re crushed it goes on and on and on
Traumatized or brutalized
Diagnosed or mystified
Swollen bellies and empty mouths
From the fear to remember to the shame of that surrender
Who is to defend her, am I that contender?
But I’ve changed since that time
Now I’m a different guy
Never will I ever feel that crushed
It’s carved to the bone, the stone of my soul
Cause once you’re crushed it goes on and on and on
Once you’re crushed it goes on and on and on…
