I see your voice in the night I feel your angel eyes I taste your words I touch your mind all your truth and all your lies

synesthesia everything is turning around synesthesia I hear the color and I see the sound

I met in the spring so near the raging sea you left me mystified and dark inside like the sight's come down to me

synesthesia everything is upside down synesthesia I see the voices and I taste the sound

I used to trust my senses they brought the world into my brain they filled me up and gave life now only confusion remains

synesthesia everything is so unclear synesthesia I use my hands to see and my eyes to hear

245 days since I last saw your face it's a fact I just got to get you back It's been 245 days

245 nights since my soul been feeling right that place in time is etched uponmy mind it's been 245 nights

It's been so long babe so long since you've been mine so long babe, Ôseems like I met you at the dawn of time hey hey

Why keep hanging on to things that never stay things that just keep stringin' us along from day to day

245 days since I last felt your embrace since you been away I just shake myhead and say it's been 245 days

it's been so long babe so long since you been mine so long babe, seems like I met you at the dawn of time hey hey

245 days since I last saw your face that place in time's etched upon my mind 245 days and so on

She sees what she needs to believe in so consequently she don't see me too much she just hears what she needs to hear there and then and that's why she's so difficult to touch

I surrender to her darkest will because to trust her would be harder still her porcelain shoulders and her grey blue eyes keep me in rapture... keep me paralyzed.

she sees what she needs to believe in so consequently she don't see me to much. she just hears what she needs to hear there and then and that's why she's so difficult to touch

was she my lover in another life sent down from heaven just to cause me strife. well, I am dyin from her ravaged stare her cynical mouth, and her raven hair.

she sees what she needs to believe in so consequently she don't see me to much. she stays in my blood, she infuriates my mind and lord, she's so difficult to touch

I'll come runnin if she calls my name. I'm not adverse to playing her little games, any entry way is good enough for me cause standing on the outside is such an awful place to be

unrequited don't quite describe all the longing I feel inside. all the wordly logic just melts away and the voices in my head well, I can hear them say...

she sees what she needs to believe in so consequently she don't see me to much. she's crying to be loved but she's runnin all the while and that's why she's so difficult to touch... oh don't you know she's so... she's so difficult to touch

Achin from this tug of war, achin from this tug of war. my back is shot and my arms are gettin sore

livin in a tug of war, livin in a tug of war. there ain't no lettin up and I can't take no more

are you hurtin I see you pullin it too, are you hurtin I see you pullin it too, well let me pull on your's and together we can make it through

my hands are bleedin my ankles black and blue. we're in a tug of war until our time is due

laughin at this tug of war, yes I'm laughin at this tug of war cause someone told me that's what man was created for... tug of war

one man's trash is another man's treasure one man's pain is another man's pleasure one man's blessing is another man's curse one man's killer is another man's nurse and it seems like there's a million sides to everything

one man's pride is another man's shame one man's proof is another man's blame one man's justice is another man's sin one man's loss is another man's win and it seems like there's a million sides to everything

a million sides, opinions are falling like drops of rain a million sides, everything's in spin I'm getting dizzy again

one man's god is another man's lie one man's hole is another man's sky one man's sorrow is another man's joy one man's weapon is another man's toy and it seems like there's a million sides to everything

a million sides, opinions are falling like drops of rain a million sides, everything's in spin I'm getting dizzy again

one man's knowledge is another man's waste one man's patience is another man's haste one man's stupidity is another man's brains one man's freedom is another man's chains and it seems like there's a million sides to everything

a million sides, opinions are falling like drops of rain a million sides, the whole world's in spin I'm getting dizzy again

fate has left us gasping again for that breath of life inside the storm grab my collar don't let it go and I will carry you away from this

but you don't understand me. How could you know the scope of my pain, you don't understand my name

I said I'm sorry over and over again for the way I dragged you down with me all my tendons ripping you up while my soul lays mute and paralyzed

I don't understand you, how could I know the scope of your pain, I don't understand your name

oh our love It hangs like the sky, we can look but we can't handle it I feel like god I feel like a dog while I'm barking out apologies

they don't understand us, how could they know the scope of our pain, they don't understand our name.

they don't understand

hey I surrender, I ain't got nothin more to say, my only wish is that you'll choose to say hey I surrender

hey I surrender

dirty reasons keep me pointed in search of an endless mistake

poison darkness it keeps be blinded no wonder I feel like a fake

why do I listen whenever you're near when I know each word is untrue

dirty reasons they keep me silent they keep me waiting on you

perfect madness I hear you whisper like a song that's too good to be true

why can't I fight it my hatred is pure. It's dripping down to the floor

dirty reasons control my breathing they pump the blood through my veins

comic evil with the words of an angel like morphine they dampen my brain

why can't I reason when we're face to face, perhaps I'd be ashamed of your tears...

why can't I fight it my hatred is pure. It's dripping down to the floor

dirty reasons oh to unmask you to force you into the light

poison darkness do you fear me behind your shield of night?

dirty reasons

I thought about bullets, I thought about knives, but they say it's only right to go on with our lives

to come out vindicated like a saint from this mess, but I wanna get you back now that much I can confess

forgetting you is the sweetest revenge forgetting you is the sweetest revenge

I trusted your promise, I fell for your charm, I went to the edge, I was led by the arm

but even a fool should know better... know better than that well now I'm gonna tell you just where it's at

forgetting you is the sweetest revenge forgetting you is the sweetest revenge

I want you defeated and stripped to the bone, I want you shaken and humbled like a dog out alone

I got a vision of you drownin right in your own tears, tormented by sadness and tortured by fear

forgetting you is the sweetest revenge. forgetting you is the sweetest reveng

I wouldn't mind speeding up the hands of time I wouldn't mind speeding up the hands of time I'd like to know what's waiting down at the end of the line I wouldn't mind speeding up the hands of time

It would be alright if I were a bird just for a night, can't you see it. It would be alright just to be a bird for a night I'd soar just like the angels til the dark gave way to light It would be alright just to be a bird for the night

I wouldn't mind swimming in a river of wine yeah I wouldn't mind swimming in a river of wine I'd go diving under, sugar I'd drink till I went stone blind I wouldn't mind drinking a river of wine

I wouldn't mind having you near me tonight It would be alright just having you near me tonight I'd listen to your heartbeat oh I'd bring your sweet soul delight It would be alright having you near me tonight.

speaking mouth are you ready to go over it are you ready to go under it are you prepared to go down?

speaking mouth are you ready to lose blood for it are you ready to wear fire for it are you prepared to go down?

all along the road we travel nothing is easy to find It seems the more that we unravel the more that escapes from our minds

reaching hands are you ready to go to the wall are you ready for the burial are you ready to go up?

reaching hands are you ready to go near the storm are you ready to give birth to it are you prepared to go up?

all along the road we travel nothing is easy to find It seems the more that we unravel the more that escapes from our minds

seeing eyes are you ready to go into it are you ready to give life to it are you ready to be wise?

oh speaking mouth are you ready to be sanctified are you ready to immortalized are you prepared for the ride?

all along the road we travel nothing easy to find It seems the more that we unravel the more that escapes from our minds

beneath your watching eyes I shall not stumble from your timeless course I shall not digress beneath your watchin eyes I stand so humble like a child at his mother's breast

you capture me you got my flesh you got my bones you can see every thought I've ever known and it don't feel bad I don't feel so all alone

I got a ways to run but my legs they feel so strong If all is one won't you please take me along I'm callin out can I address you with this song?

beneath your watching eyes I shall not stumble from your timeless course I shall not digress beneath your watching eyes I stand so humble, like a child at his mother's breast

when I look to hard you go away, there's gotta be a reason why you put me here today I'm watching I'm watchin I can feel it in the air... comin on like a typhoon and suddenly it isn't there...

I means so much won't you help me understand draw me near all my life is your command

beneath your watching eyes I shall not stumble from your timeless course I shall not digress beneath your watching eyes I stand so humble, like a child at his mother's breast
