Cool For August--Grand World

DON'T WANNA BE HERE

Something's wrong, my mind is gone.
It won't be long before I lose it made.
I will crawl into my soul to
Find a way to escape this
Sorry world.

Don't take offense by my
Cold-hearted nature
I can't escape the dreams of my head
And where is the voice of yesterday's cries
Take me away from all your lies.

CHORUS:

I don't wanna be here
For the rest of my life
I don't wanna be here

Something's wrong...I don't belong here
Staring at the people, they talk about
Whispering words to spite my passion
I'll move on maybe I'll live in chance

Now it don't make sense why you're
Just like the rest
It's easy to see I am the one you attest
Oh this awful life has a change as the hours
as you pass before my eyes

CHORUS

Downtown isn't the future there
All of my repsect for you go get washed away
Now that you've come back to me
You give yourself,
That's all that I need.

CHORUS

You know I'll be here
You know I'll be here


HOPE I'M WRONG

I've been away 10,000 times and still I look in the mirror
What do I see?
An owl tryin' to fly in the light of day
Unaware of what's in my way
I can only find my place and I hope I'm wrong
I hope I'm wrong

By step by step....

CHORUS
Ooh here they come
Destroying my youth
And the other side's the same
When the rain pours
They'll cut us a loop and another nail

I've been asleep for most of my life and still it looks familiar
The people I meet are callous,
Taking life in another way,
Contrived in the words they say,
Keeping time with the wolves at prey and I hope I'm wrong
I hope I'm wrong

CHORUS

They will pay for
All the times we've come through
In the eyes of hate

When will I make it?
And is the world worth taking?
When will I make it?

CHORUS


WALK AWAY

Living in a cast iron chain to an eight legged monster
The bonds that surround my home, they look like flies
Love to prevent thyself from getting any colder
And all I see is the dirt behind your shadow tongues

I will resolve the reason i'm stuck here, 
And I see the door and its all i ever needed

And the time that you hate to walk away
because the time that you regret, you walk away

They say that I live like a dog, but I think I'm bitten
A kitchen full of nothing, but there'll be something soon
I see a light above me, could it be my angel?
Could it be my love, to keep this struggle on

I will resolve the reason i'm stuck here, 
And I see the door and its all i ever needed

And the time that you hate to walk away
because the time that you regret, you walk away

I will resolve the reason i'm stuck here,
And I see the door and its all i ever needed

And the time that you hate to walk away
because the time that you regret, you walk away


ON AND ON

I keep evading my hope, designing every last look
I keep walking like a ragdoll, still so I can feel
I swallows all my thought, I keep them in by a head
While all of us around will feel, I got everything
I ever fortuned in life
And still the illusions come my way...

Did I want another life, did I deserve another life
did I want another life, did I pass time inside it all
Look at my face....

Just defiant by a thought, the occasional doubt
People walking on planks and still trying to make a place
of higher fortune in life
and still they do not come my way

Did I want another life, did I deserve another life
did I want another life, did I pass time inside it all
Look at my face....

Did I want another life, did I deserve another life
did I want another life, did I pass time inside it all
Look at my face....

did I want another life?


TRIALS

I made a breakout just the other day
I thought it was time to make it right
Taking a train to nowhere looking back at the past
Living a life of destruction as my fate
As a world that I love to hate

CHORUS
But I'm saved again
Saved by a little realizing and a whole lot of pain
And all the time that I spent
And all the time that slipped away ain't over
Trials fade away

I made a breakout just the other day
This time I knew that it wasn't right
Three people torn to pieces from a child's past
And the tears like rain pourin' down this broken face
It was all that I could take

CHORUS

I made a breakout just the other day
And you know then, that's the way life goes on
'Till somebody came to me and everybody showed me
That everybody lived and everybody won't
She was lost at sea, it was destined to be
That life goes on without you.
and I came to.....


BIG NIGHTS

Big nights are black and blue, they get cold and they get wet
they calling out for you, like no one you've ever met
no one dreams in the hours around me
the more I lose, the more you'll find me
I lose track with every kiss, we shouldn't be isolated by this

Yeah, you're my friend, and when we're lost I'll still
Hold your hand
Revealing white when the shadows fail
And any shadow that you can name
I'll be the shadow of your name...

Hold the prize close to your heart
Prizes made for those who fail
Hold the prize away from you, so maybe you can hold me as well
Time peels off your statued skin, I'll still be fooled by what remains
And whatever's left of you, you'll be my dream

Yeah, you're my friend, and when we're drunk I'll still
Hold your hand
Revealing white when the shadows fail
And any shadow that you can name
I'll be the shadow of your name...


OF YOU

Faded lens and broken scar, feels no compassion
Pale blue car with tales of gold, in the wrong direction
And I stand the prison floor, my thoughts are changing
locked in silence, and I see forever now, there's nothing left of you

Time has crashed again, fading promises remain
and the times that pass have changed, needless conversation makes me crazy
and I can't seem to find that looking glass, of you

When the ages come and go, like sees the passage
the empty threat has poised us all to see the madness
just hand the table flow, his ever hand to guide the soldiers
as I try reason it all, calling out to you

My eyes crashing blank, visons of you have betrayed me
try to pass the mate, knowing if all that's he's missed and hated
and I can't seem to find that looking glass
maybe that's only made to last
when my fingers and thumb start to scatter fade
of you... of you

Time has crashed again, fading promises remain
and the times that pass have changed, needless conversation makes me crazy
and I can't seem to find that looking glass
maybe that's only made to last
when my fingers and thumb start to scatter fade
of you... of you


DENIAL

I crawled out of my skin, looking at my pain and self
but it seems I've fallen in denial
the truth I admit, something I long to find
and it always comes in denial

the longest I lived, and sectioned the river passes through
and the margins way hours, half past tomorrow

and I will hanging from the line, and my head in magic
take you to another time, like a child that passes away
ohh, take me right back to a grand world
ooh, take me right back to a grand world
life is what you imagine, powerless descent
and I've lost myself

the future is certain that the rain will divide us
will a new shade that will force it's way out
half past the silence

and I will hanging from the time, with crashes and province
they can see right and come to find, why the time has carried me away
ohh, take me right back to a grand world
ooh, take me right back to a grand world
life is what you imagine, powerless descent
and I've lost myself

I crawled out of my skin, looking at my pain and self
but it seems I've fallen, again, denial


SYLMAR

Hey, if you were right I'd chase away
all the reason for my old desire to change
but the right words, don't improvise the ideals
my body sails into a passage waiting in vain

It might just be so uninviting, is it comical
from until now I've gone to something else

I'll never forget how I once saw myself
if not for the way I'd changed, if not for the way

say, every hour is always the same
gazing endlessly to the usual clouds I'd always collect
as the town slips with the hatfull by the sunset
and paralyze the aspirations of the day

the rightous become the silenced
the fallen ones, they'll never find that road that's fallen them

I'll never forget how I once saw myself
if not for the way I'd changed, if not for the way
It's not quite the same

I'll never forget how I once saw myself
if not for the way I'd changed, if not for the way
It's not quite the same


HEY YOU

There is blood on the ground, washed away by the rain
there is no solution, there's no one to blame
they all have a vengence, in a masquerade
all they have are reasons, why you should be the same

we don't need the answers, we don't look the same
what I give tomorrow, don't mean shit today

hey you
don't look so bad at all
hey you
don't look so bad at all

Two twins on the sofa, one pays the rent
the other just has a credit card, the money's spent

we don't need the answers, we don't look the same
what I give tomorrow, don't mean shit today

hey you
don't look so bad at all
hey you
don't look so bad at all


WHEELS

Faith, it looks familiar
the walls, drop a portrait of my past
And the hands of God they cry
as every second of the hour goes by

And the wheels kept pushing me
And the wheels have come to take me alive
The wheels behind me i'm told
Bring me away to something i cannot hold
Fadin' to find me, but before that
I'll fade away, changing

Life, its not so simple
Nature, wishing we'll not sever the law
save my child life
i could'nt have done much better than before

And the wheels kept pushing me
And the wheels have come to take me alive
The wheels behind me i'm told
Bring me away to something i cannot hold
Fadin' to find me, but before that
I'll fade away, changing

The hands of God they cry,
As every second of the hour goes by
And the wheels kept pushing me
And the wheels have come to take me alive
The wheels behind me i'm told
Bring me away to something i cannot hold
Fadin' to find me, but before that
I'll fade away, changing
changing
changing
changing


NEW SONG

The first thing i remember
was the last thing she said to me before she was silent,
things werent quite the way it seemed
I confided, finding every stone cast at all of them,
maybe its the hurt that breeds inside of them
the past may be hiding by a dream

the dream went away
the dream went away
my days are numbered i've waited too long
leaving hours unresolved
leaving hours unresolved

unprovided, the victim time and time again
only this time it wont be mine again,
convinced my life as a dream,
i followed it, dont mess around with her confidence
she scales the mountains of inconfidence
a look may hide enough to see

the dream went away
the dream went away

now its over before the fight
and may he coat himself
coat himself in the light
from his (?????)
when shifting passages set free
and there is no easy way
no easy way
and the fire's to blame

uninspired, feeling like i'm alone again
the basin of all my abandonment
the sanctity of my scene

the dream went away
the dream went away
the dream went awaaaaaaaaaaaay
(my days are numbered, i've waited too long, leaving hours unresolved)


SPINNING (HIDDEN TRACK

***Begins at 13:57 on the counter of your CD player*** 

These will cure my aching head,
help me see again
These will take away the guilt
ease my soul again
leave it in my fears

And i see theres nowhere to run
Feelin these changes, and the need to go alone
And i see theres blood in the sun
Pouring through my window
and the evening light is gone

and i made a pact to myself
that i'm spinning in my pain or my guilt
and i feel the way, i commend
that i'm spinning in my pain all again

Feel this when i lay my head
on a nail filled bed
These will change the way it is
break me free again
listen to my prayers

And i feel that its all in the past
memory of children, and the innocents i aint
And i feel that its oceans away
I'm favoring conscience,
the decree of my strength

I need a pass to myself
that i'm spinning in my pain or my guilt
I feel the weight i create
when i'm spinning in my pain or my guilt
all again...

I made amends to myself
that i'm spinning in my pain or my guilt

I feel the weight i create
when i'm spinning in my pain or my guilt
all again
