The Circle

THE HOLE IN YOUR EXISTENCE LET THE RAIN WASH INTO YOUR MIND
AND WHAT WAS CLEAR TO SEE AINT WHAT IT SEEMED TO BE
CAN'T STOP THE PRESSES CAUSE YOU DON'T REMEMBER THIS
BEING SOMETHING THAT YOU DREW UP IN YOUR KINDERGARTEN BLISS

CHORUS:
AND WHAT YOU HOLD ON TO RIGHT NOW
STILL MAKES YOU BELIEVE AND SOMEHOW
BEHIND THOSE TIRED EYES STILL LIES A VISION

ALL YOU SEE IS DISTANCE BETWEEN YOU AND WHERE YOU WANT TO BE
DON'T LOOK NO CLOSER NOW THAN WHEN YOU STARTED OUT
AND ALL YOUR WISDOM DON'T ENLIGHTEN IT A BIT
AFTER PUSHING THROUGH THE KEYHOLE YOU FIND ONE MORE IN FRONT OF IT

(CHORUS)

THE SUM OF ALL YOUR ACTIONS IS WHAT MAKES YOU THE THINGS YOU ARE
BUT ALL THE THINGS YOU'VE TOUCHED - THEY DON'T ADD UP TO MUCH
YOU FIND DIRECTION BUT YOU FEEL A SUDDEN GUST
AND YOU SEE YOUR DESTINATION DISAPPEARING IN THE DUST

(CHORUS)

IN ME

YOU SAY HERE’S WHERE I BELONG
AS I LAY HERE, YOUR INSIDE OF ME
AND I THOUGHT THAT I’D BE STRONG
BUT I'M LAYING HERE, UNRAVELING

HEY , HEY SO HARD TO MY WAY TODAY
HEY, STAY YOU’RE A PART OF ME, CAN’T BE CUT AWAY

I DON’T KNOW WHAT I BELIEVE
AND I’VE FALLEN MUCH FURTHER THAN
I CAN DIG OUT OF
YET I KNOW IT’S WHERE I WANNA BE
THE ONE SURE THING THAT THERE IS NO DOUBT OF

AND I’M NOT SURE WHO I WANNA BE
IT’S ALL BEEN DARK BUT I WANNA SEE
AND YOU SAY I’M FAR TOO WORRIED
AND YOUR HERE TODAY AND YOUR GONNA STAY

HEY , HEY SO HARD TO FIND MY WAY TODAY
HEY, STAY YOU’RE A PART OF ME, CAN’T BE CUT AWAY

I'M AT PEACE, WHERE I BELONG
AS I LAY HERE, YOUR INSIDE OF ME
AND I THOUGHT THAT I’D BE STRONG
BUT I'M LAYING HERE, UNRAVELING

HEY , HEY SO HARD TO FIND MY WAY TODAY
HEY, STAY YOU’RE A PART OF ME, CAN’T BE CUT AWAY

DRY THE RAIN

I didn't see through the disguise
It was subtle as a fire engine
Its been there in your eyes
All covered up with good intentions

Chorus:

But I've been there before
And I swear I won’t be back again
Now you know that I am prayin for
Fire in the sky to dry the rain

I know that I must seem
A down and broken man
My actions always painted me
Much dumber than I am

(Chorus)

(Instrumental)

Excuse me but I'm fine
No need to find the proper words to say
I don't feel anything
That time alone can't cause to fade away

(Chorus)

Fire in the sky to dry the rain Fire in the sky ….
(pray for fire in the sky to dry the…)

Fire in the sky

I didn't see through the disguise It was subtle as a fire engine blazing
Hidden deep within your eyes wrapped in layers of your gentle ways
You played it cool played it right I felt the vibe under the surface sting
With every smile there was a bitter fight and every song it always seems to cling

But I've been there before And I swear I won’t be back again
Now you know that I am prayin for Fire in the sky to dry the rain

I know that I must seem a down and broken man My actions always painted me much dumber than I am
But I'm rising up from the low with the echos of my past behind
Searching for a way to grow in a world that tries to blind

But I've been there before And I swear I won’t be back again
Now you know that I am prayin for Fire in the sky to dry the rain

I know that I must seem a down and broken man My actions always painted me much dumber than I am
But I'm rising up from the low with the echos of my past behind
Searching for a way to grow in a world that tries to blind

But I've been there before And I swear I won’t be back again
Now you know that I am prayin for Fire in the sky to dry the rain, Fire in the sky to dry the rain

Excuse me but I'm fine No need to find the proper words to say
I don't feel anything That time alone can't cause to fade away
I'm breaking free from your chains No more hiding in the shadows cast
With each new dawn that comes I'll find a way to make you last

But I've been there before And I swear I won’t be back again
Now you know that I am prayin for Fire in the sky to dry the rain,
Fire in the sky to dry the rain

Inescapable

la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

Its been building up a long long time the melody locked an un-yeilding climb
Its been a prison and a friend of mine echos in my heart yeah I can't unwind
I’ve closed my eyes and let the music take me in a world of rhythm, finally free
As we dance in shadows feeling so alive Ther groove is infectious let our spirits thrive

Chorus:
Oh I hear the sound of freedom ring it's inescapable the joy it brings
We have grown Once as one, now apart But the music flows deep still beats in our heart

I think that now it has all been said The words on the floor but the beats not dead
Though the arrows are put to bed the fire ignites if we don't face it instead
You learn to live with the price you pay Isn’t that what living is anyway
You wanna fly, I wanna dream in this dance of life nothings as it seems

(chorus)

Only a fool with the sun in his eyes would fail to see what we can't deny
We chase the light, we crave the high With every heartbeat we learn to fly

Just remember feel the fire igniting let the rhythm take you change the timing

When your arraigned with a long list of lies The charges waived but the truth never dies
You see I feel the weight of my soul The fires still burn and it takes a toll
And you know theres no place left to go our ships adrift on a distant flow
But through the waves we'll find our way it's inescapable lets dance and sway

(chorus)

la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Let the rythm guide us let the music flow, its inescapable together we glow

I’ll Wait

I’ll wait, I’ll give my time to you
Don’t have to say you want me to
Its what I want to do____ I’ll wait

I’ll wait, Cause all I have is time
I’ts just the way you feel today
Won’t push to change your mind__ I’ll wait

And I may reach you If I find the words to say
But until you change your mind__ I’ll wait

I’ll stay, Once you have changed your mind
You can put your trust in me
I’m not the leaving kind___ I’ll stay

And I’ll pray for all that’s best for you
Should you decide to go
whatever’s best to do_____I’ll stay

And I may reach you If I find the words to say
But until you change your mind__ I’ll wait I’ll wait

I Don’t Know

I don’t wanna change the world
Just need 3 square meals and a loving girl
A running car that starts in the cold
And a visit from Ed before I get old

Chorus:

And when the doubt comes in the middle of the night
I know what's wrong is wrong and right is right
here I am its the best I can do
And I don’t mind, I don’t mind

I don’t need to move ahead
Already got a good room with a king size bed
First and last already been paid
Don’t have to beg the little lady if I wanna get

_____________ a beer

(chorus)

Instr…

I don’t need no big estate
Just a public park where the fish eat bait
Hope I die when I get old
Drinking a long neck beer watching the SuperBowl

Instr…

Bridge:

When’s the second coming --- I don’t know
Can we fix the Global warming -- I don’t know
Is the deficit still rising --- I don’t know
Is the company downsizing -- I don’t know

Can we stop the earth from shaking --- I don’t know
Is my partner really faking --- I don’t know
Has the president been smoking --- I don’t know
Is my carburetor broken --- I don’t know

I don’t know I don’t know

Falling Away

I don’t know just who you are
Changing faces when it suites your disposition
Tell me who you think you are
leaving me in this condition

I don’t know just who you are

I don’t know just who you are
Yesterday I called you mine,
now we’re in transition
How we got to where we are wasn’t my decision

And I don’t know just who you are

Falling away___ Falling away___
Falling away____ Yeah yeah yeah yeah

Instr..

I don’t know just who you are
Changing faces when it suites your disposition
Tell me who you think you are
leaving me in this condition

I don’t know just who you are
I don’t know just who you are
I don’t know just who you are
Tell me who you think you are
I don’t know just who you are
