She Takes Me Over

Walk over coals - Give away your blood
Start breaking a sweat - Dive into the mud
Eyes on the moon - Feet off the ground
Empty your mind - Leave yourself unbound
She takes me over
Plays with desire
She brings me down
She takes me over
Takes me over
Sets me on fire
She brings me down
Take your own time - Talk a little less
Let go a little more - It’s time to digress
Play in the sun - Face into the rain
Jump into the clouds - Let go of your pain
She takes me over
Plays with desire
She brings me down
She takes me over
Takes me over
Sets me on fire
Then brings me down
Run for your life - And don’t break that stride
Let the winds take you - Stay for the ride
She takes me over
Gets me so wired
She brings me down
She takes me over
Takes me over
Sets me on fire
Then brings me down

When the darkest hour comes
And the ocean starts to take you under
Don’t forget to breathe
When the sun begins to die
And a million points of light start to fill your eyes
Don’t forget to believe
When it seems there’s nothing left to fight for
And there’s nowhere else to turn
Come back to me
I’ll always be here waiting for you
Come back to me
When your dreams don’t always work out
And your wings won’t let you fly
You’ve got to open up your arms just a little more
If your closest lets you down
And you don’t know who to talk to
Don’t forget about me
When this world seems out of touch
And all the pain becomes too much
Come around to see me
Come around to me
I’ll always be right here
Come back to me
I’ll always be right here
Come back to me
When the darkest hour comes
And the ocean starts to take you down
Don’t forget to breathe

We take the good and the bad - with a grain of salt
Take our pain by the hand - as we break the fall
See the whole world change as we’re standing still
And we right all our wrongs - with another pill
Gotta run to the river
Run to the river
Run to the river of life
Gotta run to the river
Run to the river
Run to the river of life
The river of life
The days fall away like a busted rhyme
As the hours play tricks on a worried mind
See the whole world change as we’re standing still
Are we gonna fight the flames - or sit and chill?
Gotta run to the river
Run to the river
Run to the river of life
Gotta run to the river
Run to the river
Run to the river of life
The river of life
The river of life
And we rise up - to meet the sun
We're gonna rise up - and begin again
Gonna run to the river
Run to the river
Run to the river of life
Gonna run to the river
Run to the river
Run to the river of life

Do you feel a little down today?
Perhaps a bit preoccupied
You've got one eye on the mirror
Is there something there that makes you want to run and hide?
They’re coming to get you, Barbara
And they’re bringing all their friends
Better nail the door down tightly
They’re coming for you
They’re coming for you, Barbara
You jump at every siren
Doesn’t seem as if you’re always here with me
You’re checking all those boxes
On my list of unhinged wannabees
They’re coming to get you, Barbara
And they’re bringing all their friends
Better lock down all the windows
They’re coming for you
They’re coming for you, Barbara
Maybe they don’t want much
Maybe they only want your name
Maybe they just want to be like you
Maybe we want you to be like us, too!
We’re coming to get you, Barbara
You know I’ve always loved you for your brains
I think you waited just a bit too long
We’re coming for you
We’re coming for you, Barbara
You waited a just bit too long
We’re coming for you
We’re coming for you, Barbara

Shadows on the Sun

Someone lift me up and turn me over
Been lying on this battlefield too long
Blood pumps in and blood pumps out
Another day of holding on
I remember when we used to run
Now we’re just shadows on the sun
Been driving through the desert
Never looking past tomorrow’s haze
Fire that used to push me on
Turns to ash and fades away
Shadows on the sun
All the dreams I fight to keep in view
And every face I try to hold on to
Burn so deep inside these reddish skies
Like ultraviolet rays right through my eyes
Shadows on the sun
Someone lift me up and turn me over
Been lying on this battlefield too long
All the dreams I fight to keep in view
And every face I try to hold on to
Burn so deep inside these reddish skies
Like ultraviolet rays right through my eyes
Shadows on the sun
Shadows on the sun
Shadows on the sun
Burn so deep inside these reddish skies
Like ultraviolet rays right through my eyes
Shadows on the sun

All The Other Wolves

Such desperate words
For such a desperate twist
Not sure there's an answer
To a question I seemed to have missed
Pleading for my life
At the howling tree
All the other wolves
Are staring at me
Something's got to give
With the time running down
I'm down on my knees
How can I turn this around?
Keep clinging to my words
Though I’m all out of breath
When I look into those frozen eyes
All I see is a pale sunset
Pleading for my life
At the howling tree
All the other wolves
Are waiting to feed
Running for my life
From the howling tree
All the other wolves
Are waiting to feed

All I Know

Here I am again - can’t stop myself
When all of these lines converge on a single cell
I'm standing here
With another chip in my porcelain shell
There’s no guarantees - no perfect line to sell
You think you know what this seems to be
All I know is what it means to me
Don't always have the answer
Not so sure of the road ahead
I keep moving on - without any fear
Every saint has a little sin inside
But that's not me, better let it slide
I've got the weight of the world
I've got the beat of the drum
I have the faith of an angel
While holding a smoking gun
And on the tip of my tongue are the words
The words that could save me
Another bite to take - another race to run
And always the war to be won
Not always sure what you want to see
All I know is what you mean to me
All I know is what you mean to me

House of Ghosts

Standing in this house of ghosts
There’s never any fear
These walls - they talk to me
Try to bend my ear
With all of the years that I’ve been around
Find myself standing - on the same ground
Step out of my body - and into my soul
Why does it seem so cold?
Standing in this house of ghosts
All these voices in my head
Cult of the mind - leading me back to the dead
With all of the places that I’ve been before
Seems like I’m landing at the same door
Step out of my body - and into my soul
Why do I feel so cold?
Are they in my house
Or Are they in my head?
Am I alive or am I one of them?
Talking to myself - in my own house of ghosts
Just talking to myself - in my own house of ghosts

Life's too short - for me to chew
On the fat of your land
Just can't fake - what I say
I stopped caring yesterday
That is all - That is all
Wiped the slate - cleaned my plate
Won't let the gun come down for free
Fire off - your desperate words
Bullets bounce right off of me
That is all - That is all -
(All you need is everything, but everything’s not me)
And I feel like you're sinking
In the water that feeds your soul
Are you frightened of the dark
Or just scared of growing old?
Always something out of nothing
Do you stand by what you say?
Always something out of nothing
That is all - That is all
Does the fine - fit the crime
Or do I take this mother down?
Don’t have time - for stupid games
I've got fame to chase around
That is all - That is all
(All you need is everything, but everything’s not me)
And I feel like you're sinking
In the water that feeds your soul
Are you frightened of the dark
Or just scared of growing old?
Always something out of nothing
Do you stand by what you say?
Always something out of nothing
That is all - That is all - That is all - That is all ---
