Leave a Whisper
Album - 27 may 2003 - Debaser id 74941

Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders
Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders
On my shoulders
All alone I pierce the chain
And on and on all the sting remains
And dying eyes consume me now
The voice inside screams out loud

I am focused on what I am after
The key to the next open chapter

Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky
Long live that day that I decided to fly from the inside

Every day a new deception
Pick your scene and take direction
And on and on I search to connect
But I don't wear a mask and I have no regrets

I am focused on what I am after
The key to the next open chapter

Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky
Long live that day that I decided to fly from the inside

I can't escape the pain
I can't control the rage
Sometimes I think that I'm gonna go insane
I'm not against what's right
I'm not for what's wrong
I'm just making my way and I'm gone

Here's the weight of the world on my shoulders

Cause I found a way to steal the sun from the sky
Long live that day that I decided to fly from the inside
That I decided to fly from the inside
That I decided to fly from the inside

Where's that space of fear you hide?
Have you gone way beyond the center
Out there in space
I know you need to get even
Tell me the one about the hand that holds you down
Because the bruise on your face, it always seems to stay around
And tell me the one about the hand that holds you down
Because you seem to be lost, with no intention to be found

So how does it feel
And how does it feel

To be the one whose always in the way
To be the words that never made the page
Be the one that's always
Left out in the rain

Tell me again about the spark that met the flame
And tell me again about the man who went insane
Is there a place within for redemption
Is there a voice inside with a decision
And if so when, and if so then, where's the conviction

So how does it feel
And how does it feel

CHORUS

I know that you need to get even
And I know it's for all the right reasons
And I, well I know that your staring at the edge
And I, well I know that you need to get even

CHORUS

Should I offer up my hand
And save a wish for once
For all of us
And should I offer up my hand
And lay the guilt on myself
So it's easier to not stay, to not stay

Cause I found you in your corner
I pulled you out of the clouds
You left in such a hurry
Your face got lost in the crowd

Should I open up my eyes or just ignore who you are
And what you could have been
And should I open up my eyes and make believe you will change
So it's easier to not stay, to not stay

Cause I found you in your corner
I pulled you out of the clouds
You left in such a hurry
Your face got lost in the crowd

Cause I found you in your corner
I pulled you out of the clouds
You left in such a hurry
Your face got lost in the crowd

Cause I found you in your corner
I pulled you out of the clouds
You left in such a hurry
Your face got lost in the crowd
Your face got lost in the crowd
Your face got lost in the crowd

It's cold outside I'm sensing fear
My self control has disappeared
I'm spinning out at each end
Could you be kind and let me in
Despite the writing on the wall
My future's bleak and rather small
That's all you could ever take from me
I've got nothing to lose so let me be

Well I sized you up your not that strong
You're weak inside I knew all along
This made up army you fight in your head
Destroyed your worth and pronounced you dead

There's no more love
There's no more love
There' no more love for me and you (Listen to me)
No more love
There's no more love
There' no more love for me and you (Listen to me)

The cruelest joke that has played on me
Is all planned out so I can't leave
Now quietly I will walk away
There is no bad blood but I can't stay
There is no more love because there is no more love

There's no more love
There's no more love
There' no more love for me and you (Listen to me)
No more love
There's no more love
There' no more love for me and you (Listen to me)

There's no more love
There's no more love
There' no more love for me and you (Listen to me)
No more love
There's no more love
There' no more love for me and you (Listen to me)

There's no more love
There's no more love
There' no more love for me and you (Listen to me)
No more love
There's no more love
There' no more love for me and you (Listen to me)

Excuse the mess, I didn't see you from behind
I caught a glimpse, but the reflection's only mine
It's almost like I'm paralyzed and locked outside myself
What I don't need is to concede because I won't be someone else
I am not perfect and I don't claim to be
And if that's what you wanted
Well then I'm so sorry

How about a better version of, the way that I am
How about a better version that, makes me understand
How about a better version of, the way that I am
The way I look, The way I speak,
How about a better version of me

Excuse the wall, I put it up from time to time
A silver shade, and the design is all mine
It's just a maze that everyday I seem to be stuck in
It never seems to fade away but I pray for the day it ends

I am not perfect and I don't claim to be
And if that's what you wanted
Well then I'm so sorry

CHORUS

Show me my vital signs until I'm realigned

CHORUS

I feel like there is no need for conversation
Some questions are better left without a reason
And I would rather reveal myself than my situation
Now and then I consider, my hesitation

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning, burning bright

I wonder if the things I did were just to be different
To spare myself of the constant shame of my existence
And I would surely redeem myself in my desperation
Here and now I'll express, my situation

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning bright

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning, burning bright

There's nothing ever wrong
But nothing's ever right
Such a cruel contradiction
I know I cross the lines
It's not easy to define
I'm born to indecision
There's always something new
Some path I'm supposed to choose
With no particular rhyme or reason

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning bright

The more the light shines through me
I pretend to close my eyes
The more the dark consumes me
I pretend I'm burning

I feel like there is no need for conversation...

Some of the ugliest things
Took the longest time to make
And some of the easiest habits
Are the hardest ones to break
And I'm not asking for value
Nor the pain
But I am asking
For a way out of this lie

Cause I can't wait for you
To catch up with me
And I can't live in the past
And drown myself in memories

Welcome to nowhere
And finding out where it is
And fixing your problems
And starting over again
Your feeding your ego
With what you can see outside
And you're killing yourself
For not speaking your mind

Cause I can't wait for you
To catch up with me
And I can't live in the past
And drown myself in memories
In memories

I wonder why you make believe
You live your life straight through me
I cannot understand why
You question me and then you lie
I will not justify your ways
I cannot show you an escape
I do not know you any more
I never knew you anyway

Cause I can't wait for you
To catch up with me
And I can't live in the past
And drown myself in memories
Cause I can't wait
And I can't live in the past
And drown myself in memories
In memories
In memories

I lie here alone and wonder why
That I come alive, just before I have to hide.

'cause I believe I'm losing my nerve
But could I ever do better than this

'cause all I ever wanted was a place to call my home
To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone
All I ever wanted was a place to call my own
Where stars may dance and sun still shines
and the storms feel free to roam

I listen if only for a while
But I can't decide if I'm aware that I'm on trial

'cause I believe I'm losing my nerve
But could I ever do better than this

'cause all I ever wanted was a place to call my home
To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone
All I ever wanted was a place to call my own
Where stars may dance and sun still shines
and the storms feel free to roam

If there's a way to a liberty then lead me straight to it
If there's a path or a door I missed , then show me now,
well show me this

'cause all I ever wanted was a place to call my home
To shelter me when I am there and to miss me when I'm gone
All I ever wanted was a place to call my own
Where stars may dance and sun still shines
and the storms feel free to roam

feel free when I am gone

Turn on the lights, paint me a tapestry
Go start a fire, get close to the gasoline
I followed you to the deep end
I was helpless but still you pulled me in
Now I'm caught in the tide
Lost in the eyes of envy
For whom it concerns
Some never learn

She lacerated me, exposing me piece by piece
She saw a weakness in me, and used it against me
She lacerated me

Turn out the lights, make me a porcelain doll
Whisper your secrets, can't get to the truth at all
I reached out again and again
I could never believe you'd do me in

Now I'm caught in the tide
Lost in the eyes of envy
For whom it concerns
Some never learn

She lacerated me, exposing me piece by piece
She saw a weakness in me, and used it against me
She lacerated me, and now I have nowhere to go
She lacerated me

She lacerated me, and now I have nowhere to go
She lacerated me, release me from all I see
She lacerated me
She lacerated me

You've been hiding out
For quite a while now,
Living off of people you know
Trying to raise a little money
To pay off all the monkeys
That you met inside the
Rabbit hole
You're taking candy from the white witch
You're smoking tea with Mama Kin
Well, there's a wolf outside
A brick house screaming;
"This time I'm gonna blow it in!"

[Pre-chorus:]
Because the mind is a weapon, see
And it's got you on
Your hands and knees
Pull the trigger if you're gonna
We all know that you wanna
Count off 1, 2, 1, 2, 3!

[Chorus:]
You better pray that theres
Another way out
You better pray that
Someones listening now
(And doesn't wanna watch you drown)
'Cause when you lie like
The devil himself
No angels gonna hear your
Cry for help!

I know you must really think
It's funny, you had everybody
Fooled in the end
But it's a little unassuming
Considered how you knew me
I'm the only one that called
You a friend

[Pre-chorus:]
Because the mind is a weapon, see
But you're not gonna
Use it on me
Pull the trigger if you're gonna
We all know that you wanna
Count off 1, 2, 1, 2, 3!

[Chorus]

Count off 1, 2, 1, 2, 3!!!

Send away for a priceless gift
One not subtle, one not on the list
Send away for a perfect world
One not simply, so absurd
In these times of doing what you're told
You keep these feelings, no one knows
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

And I'm staring down the barrel of a forty-five (forty-five),
Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a forty-five

Send a message to the unborn child
Keep your eyes open for a while
In a box high up on the shelf, left for you, no one else
There's a piece of a puzzle known as life
Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight

What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart

CHORUS

Everyone's pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
And nobody knows what I believe
I believe

CHORUS

And I'm staring down the barrel of a forty-five (forty-five),
(And I'm) Swimming through the ashes of another life (another life)
(There is) No real reason to accept the way things have changed
Staring down the barrel of a forty-five
