"Woman"

"Woman"



Woman
Woman
You make me feel
Woman
Woman
Are you for real?

Cause I don't know if I make it on without you
I don't know if I could make it on my own back
Home

Mother
Mother
Are you right here?
Mother
Mother
I share your fear

Cause I don't know if I make it on without you
I don't know if I could make it on my own back
Home

Sister
Sister
You're here I see
Sister
Sister
You see through me

Cause I don't know if I make it on without you
I don't know if I could make it on my own back home

Woman
Woman
Are you for real
Woman
Woman
You make me feel

Cause I don't know if I make it on without you
I don't know if I could make it on my own back home

"Yer Only Job"

"Yer Only Job"




Your only job is to be free
Free to live inside a tree
Free to see the way you see
If it's strange then let it be

Your only job is to be free
Free to laugh, free to sing
Free to think, you might be king
Or you might fly or swim the sea

You have it all when you are free

But freedom puts the fear in some
And they will tell you not to run
And not to dream, all you see
Inside the open world of free

For freedom follows no command
It has no feet, no arm or hand
It has no language, it has no rhyme
It has no clock, no goal or time

For freedom is it's own reward
It's own protection without a sword
Without a fight, freedom stands
Holding on with phantom hands

To your heart of the sky
Winter lips, mountains cry
Freedom holds, the world above
The reach of death, the reach of love

I don't wanna waste your time
Come on baby take me home
I don't wanna waste your time

I don't wanna waste your time
Come on baby take me home
I don't wanna waste your time

Freedom is it's own reward
Distorted power singing chord
Freedom lifts the stars in space
Freedom is an angels face

The planets bouncing rubber balls
Freedom bouncing off your walls
You catch and throw and catch some more
Freedom opens every door

And just remember to be free
And you will be the same as me
And I will be the same as you
Sniffing flowers freedom glue

Stuck to stars which shoot through skies
The twinkle twinkle in your eyes
The bed of love on which you sleep
The day of hope, the one you greet

The night of dreams both big and small
The call you hear down freedoms hall
Come home now for home your in
One day gone, the next begin

It's a circle like wheels which ride
The waves of oceans freedom tide
Welcome home you never left
Maybe lost freedom theft

But you got found freedom bee
Buzzing for eternity
And freedom is the light you see
Enlightened soul turning key

Others see and may wake up
Inspiration freedom cup
Drink the nectar of the soul
Freedom is an endless hole

Which opens up in the sky
It's a circle you and I
We are one, we are free
I am you and you are me

Yes we are one when we are free
For I am you and you are me
Yes we are one when we are free
For I am you and you are me

I don't wanna waste your time
Come on baby take me home
I don't wanna waste your time

I don't wanna waste your time
Come on baby take me home
I don't wanna waste your time...

"Yer The Reason"

"Yer The Reason"


Yer the reason
I don't wanna go home
Yer the reason
I just wanna stay
Yer the reason
I don't wanna go home
Won't you do something to get in my way

I take a listen inside myself
Just to find an old romance
I saw the walls starting to fade
And watched the sun turn into a blaze/flame/grave [?]
And I tell them what you're doing
And I tell them what you say
And I tell them how you live here
When you move me into the grey/grave

Yer the reason
I don't wanna go home
Yer the reason
I just wanna stay
Yer the reason
I don't wanna go home
Won't you do something to get in my way

((you k)now like solo here
and keep this rollin'
then we're going to
sing a verse
then we're going to do a chorus
it's going to be a single verse
here it comes, right)

Could I tell you if I care
Could I tell you anything
Could I tell you to come home
And would you come home with me

Yer the reason
I don't wanna go home
Yer the reason
I just wanna stay
Yer the reason
I don't wanna go home
Won't you do something to get in my way
Won't you do something to get in my way
Won't you do something to get in my way
Won't you do something to get in my way
Won't you do something to get in my way
Won't you do something to get in my way

"You Are Free"

"You Are Free"



Time is moving on
You and me
You and me
Suffering is gone
You are free
You are free

I know I let you down
Those days are over now

I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was

Time is moving on
You and me
You and me
Suffering is gone
You are free
You are free

I know I let you down
Those days are over now

I'm no longer who I was
No longer who you thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who you thought I was

I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who you thought I was
I'm no longer who I was
No longer who I thought I was

I'm not afraid of nothing
I'm not afraid of anyone
I'm not afraid of losing myself
There ain't no self to lose
I'm not afraid of losing myself
There ain't no self to lose
I'm not afraid of losing myself
There ain't no self to lose
I'm not afraid

Time is moving on
You and me
You and me
Suffering is done
Let it be
Let it be

When you feel you're strong
You are free
You are free

"You Are The Dark"

"You Are The Dark"



I'm up all night
Against my will
My medicine
Won't let me feel
Anything at all

The doctor gave me sleeping pills
And I took one
Then I feel all alone
Sleeping like a stone

And babe
You were the light
But now
You are the dark

But dream about the autumn leaves
And you were one
Falling in the sun
Where are you now?

A tv burns
A hollow room
I cleaned it up
And now I don't know what to do
I'm just lying down

And babe
You were the light
And now
You are the dark

I guess I live
Up in my head
I call you up
But my phone is dead
And now it's too much

The doctor said I need a cure
But what I got
He's not really sure
And I won't say much

And babe
You were the light
And now
You are the dark

And babe
You were the light
And now
You are the dark

"You Could Be In Jail"

"You Could Be In Jail"



Don't believe in dreams
You are from a machine
Oh don't
You could be in jail

Brainwashing you
They control
Everything that you do
Oh don't
You could be in jail

They say they have the answer
But no one knows a thing
They say they know your way home
Some place you've already been

Don't believe in love
They came
Without any blood
Oh don't
You could be in jail

Take in what you make
Say they will save you
Giving back what you gave
Oh don't
You could be in jail

They say they have the answer
But no one knows a thing
They say they know your way home
Some place you've already been

"You May Go"

"You May Go"


You may go
Gone
You are cut
And blind
And I leave you there [x2]
In your life [x2]

You may go
Gone
You are cut
And blind
And I leave you there [x2]
In your life [x2]

You may go
Gone
You are cut
And blind

You may go
Gone
You are cut
And blind

You may go
Gone

You are cut
And blind

You may go

You may go
Gone
You are cut
And blind

You may go
Gone
You are cut
And blind

You may go
Gone

"You're Not The Only One"

"You're Not The Only One"



Darkness descends
On everyone
Eventually

And still you keep past the hyenas
Wearing idiot suits
Past the reformers with holy pursuits

You're not the only one trying to hold on
To a kiss from yesterday
To a moment surrendered
When you were sure there was something more to say

And you're not the only one
With clothes so tattered
The eyes look sideways and then beyond
To thoughts of where you once came from

You're not the only one
Dead still from the beginning
Spinning a tribute to what could be
But you can't get happy through misery
And you're not the only one

You're not the only one
Down streets no shadows ever go
And still you keep moving
Past the shady cameras and artillery whores

You're not the only one
Against breaking skies and fall away floors
You're not the only one
Warped and wasted
With poison bought from yesterday

And you're not the only one
Drunk and holy
Aware of all that's come before
And what would come to stay

You're not the only one
In a slumber of booze and dreams
And even high ideals

But who are you
Still a no one
Still a mark
Still a seed
And who are you
You're not the only one

And who are you
You know you're not the only one
Who are you
You're not the only one

"You've Been Loved"

"You've Been Loved"



You don't know how you feel
Are you a dream?
Are you for real?
Cause you don't ever slow down
To find what you lost or lose what you found

No one's saying what you need to hear

You've been loved
You've been loved
You've been loved
You've been loved
You've been loved
You've been loved

It's always hard to admit
Most days you feel like you don't exist
Temptation sneaks past your fists
Until the devil won't let you resist

Oblivion is what you want

But you've been loved
You've been loved
You've been loved
You've been loved
You've been loved
You've been loved
You've been loved
You've been loved
You've been loved

What you're gonna do with your life?
What you're gonna do with your life?
What you're gonna do with your life?
What you're gonna do with your life?

You've been loved (all the way)
You've been loved (all the way)
You've been loved (all the way)
You've been loved
