I walked through the cold and the rain Just to try to ease your pain When I showed you what you had done You turned and ran from everyone Now that I find you insane That's what's etched into my brain I have no more sympathy Now I just look out for me Two for the one Stop and and it's only begun I'm telling you it's too close to home All those people are alone Now that I find you insane That's what's etched into my brain I have no more sympathy Now I just look out for me

Don't talk to me about your rights You're gonna do what you want to do anyway You came to me in the night All I was to you was just a warm place to stay So young and staring at the ceiling It leaves imagination reeling If there's an answer it's not here I go to pieces when you're near Do you know the meaning of love? Can you ever give back what is given you? Do you know the meaning of faith? One man to turn to when the day is through Do you want someone to hold on To one so vicious and confused as you? Oh Kelly, I was the man The one who died trying to understand you So young and staring at the ceiling It leaves imagination reeling If there's an answer it's not here I go to pieces when you're near

Hidden feelings are here in my heart Disagreements, things are falling apart And I knew it right from the start Please don't leave me Complications: everything that I see Insinuation, my world's falling down around me Give me shelter, keep me cool as the sea Please believe me Stop your talking, there's no one here to hear I guess we're all alone Stop your lying, all your sleeping around It cuts me to the bone Won't you believe in me? Will you stop deceiving me? Hidden feelings are here in my heart Disagreements, things are falling apart And I knew it right from the start Please believe me Stop your talking, there's no one here to hear I guess we're all alone Stop your lying, all your sleeping around It cuts me to the bone Won't you believe in me? Will you stop deceiving me?

You say you don't know me but you do You know who I am You say you don't want me but you do You know who I am You're walking through the park with me I see you all alone Time goes by so slowly Since you've been gone You say you don't want me but you do You know who I am You say you don't want my number You say you don't know my address You're looking in the mirror You're looking at a mess You say you don't know me but you do You know who I am I see you there in front of me Such a fatality But in reality Say goodbye to your virginity You say you don't know me but you do You know who I am You say you don't know my number You say you don't know my address You're looking in the mirror You're looking at a mess You see, I know what you want You see, I know what you need I'M SO BIG I'M GONNA MAKE YOU BLEED

Maranatha 03:55
If we pretend to care Whether we live or die Would you have the heart To break down and cry? With things falling down all around And the world is on the brink Doesn't even give us Time to think Of the consequences so wide There's nowhere to hide This world will fuse our souls But it will not fill our bowls So look to the sky With a glimmer for you and me I've gotta say all I see Is maranatha for you and me What is the measure of a civilized people? Is it the graves we dig? The cheeks we turn The songs we sing The crosses be burn The masks we wear The jobs we take The death we fear The love we make? I can see the decadence and deceit Seeping through our screen doors The very fabric of our uniqueness is torn Without some measure of faith A thousand minds rally for me to survey In a humble kind of Judgment Day When will the world learn the way to mend The bridges that are burning at both ends?
