It Burns Away

The rolling thunder

Plays on throughout the day

Keeps bringing on

The fear that doom is on its way

Where will you run and hide

Huddled by your fire at night

Restless spirits

Haunt you until the morning speaks

No dreams for your inner peace

Today filled with heartache and pain

You're just trying to stay warm

From the cold, cold rain

Lightning strikes

But never in the same place twice

Or so they like to say

They've never been exposed

To the static after glow

On the very ground that it shakes

You better run and hide

Ya hide away

You better pray to keep

That it won’t find you

One eye open

You never get your sleep

Living your day and nights in fear

Always thinking

Something’s creeping near

It’s never ending

Will it ever stop?

The clouds roll in

The air gets damp

The temperature drops

The fire's glowing

Its red hot

Their passion's burning

Always on the run

The eyes look down upon them

Living in the dirt

Their love's like a flame

Touch it and you'll get burned

Baby

It just burns away

It just burns away

It just burns away

Here and gone today

 It burns away

Slowly burns away

It always burns away

Please baby

Won't you stay?

Don't let it fall away

Don't let it fall away

I'm here to stay

I won't let you get away

I don't want you to go away

Baby

It just burns away

It just burns away

It just burns away

Here and gone today

And it just burns away

And it just burns away

And it just burns away

Hard To Believe

I'm restless tonight

I can’t sleep

These thoughts I’m having

Make it hard to believe

When I’m all alone

When I need your loving

Don't despair

I don't plan on running

Just because you're not here

Holding me close

I won't be out there sinning

You know what you are to me

You know that I care

Meet me half way

Meet me in the middle

Running to the corner

Hiding down by the bottom of the stairs

Out from the rain

It’s all insane

What you do to me

We're out all night

When we should be home asleep

Waiting for the day to begin

And do it all over again

Just you and me

Just you and me

Hold on to your hats

The mighty wind is blowing

The breeze is just teasing us

Can't wait for what is coming

Just hold on tight

Please don't leave me for another

You're holding me

And it's like a dream

I hope this lasts forever

Spinning around

Our love is like the weather

One day it’s warm like the sun

We have so much fun

Don't want it to stop

Then like the rain

You hide in your shame

You duck and run for cover

You don't have to fear

Darling I’m right here

I'm with you now

Forever

I'm restless tonight

I can’t sleep

When I’m all alone

When I need your loving

These thoughts I’m having

Make it hard to believe

Because you're not here

Holding me close

You know what you are to me

You know that I care for you

So meet me half way

Meet me in the middle

Let’s run to the corner

And hide down by the bottom of the stairs

Stepping out from the rain

It’s all insane when I’m with you

I wouldn't have it any other way

I hope it lasts forever

Meet me half way

Let’s run to the corner

Out from the rain

You know it’s all insane

When I’m with you

We should be home sleeping

Holding each other tight

Waiting for tomorrow

It's all like a dream

Spinning around

Our love is like the weather

One day it’s warm like the sun

Don't want it to stop

I hope this lasts forever

Rushing Forward

You seem so strange to me now

You're not the one I fell in love with

Are you lost to me forever gone

Will I ever get a chance to know

This world that I live in

Is growing cold

My guiding light

My home from home

The warmth like the sun

That shines on down

You were my only hope

For something good

My life full of ups and downs

Needed you and now you're gone

I don't care if I ever breathe again

It’s just not the same

When you're not here by my side

I can’t control my tears

It’s overwhelming

All these fears

That keep rushing forward

It’s like a never ending wave of terror

How will I learn to love again

How will I learn to pretend

That I can have some sort of hope

Someone is out there

That someone wants to save me

The darkness creeping upon me

As I hold myself

Together on my own

I can’t sleep

Holding my pillows tight

Soaking up all my sorrow

They're the only one that knows

Just how much this love

Has cut me to bone

So deep I can’t get free

No there no light

For me

Not now

Not ever

Don't you see

I'm not holding the cards

That makes me the winner

I've lost

All in there's no future

For you and me together

And I’m devastated

Beyond all measure

I have nothing to live for

Hopefully one day I’ll see the light

I'll find a new love

Will I ever get a chance to know

In this world that I live in

I can’t control my tears

It’s overwhelming

All these fears

That keep rushing forward

It’s like a never ending wave of terror

How will I learn to love again

How will I learn to pretend

Will I ever get a chance to know

In this world that I live in

All these fears

They just keep rushing forward

I can’t wait to love again

When the Devil Comes

The devil comes

Especially when you don't want them

No control

Somehow they're always there

Listening to our despair

When the temptation comes a calling

In the darkest of all forms

Disguised of a former lover

In the middle of the night

I can hear the foot steps

Walking

They're so heavy on my heart

My pulse

Is ever increasing

With each and every one

My time has finally fallen

When the devil comes to town

You better try and hide

Cause if they find you

You know just what they'll do

They'll get what they came for

You know they always do

I hear them

Knocking now

Shaking

As I open my door

I can't stop this fever

The feeling's overwhelming

When the temptation comes a calling

The heat is in full bloom

Rising above me

The passion

From a heart so so cold

It freezes all that it surrounds

If I’m not too careful

I'll be the one that gets burned

I looked into your eyes

For something that's just not there

You're deepest darkest secrets

Is something you'll never share

Why do you keep coming back

Your torture fills the air

I can’t

Keep on doing this

Like I don't even care

A sucker for your kiss

That's how I end up like this

I get tossed and tumbled

And thrown around

My mind is all messed up

How can something

Feel so right

When I know

It's so so wrong

You're here with me now

But I’m not in your future plans

Got to grab you devil

By your evil horns

Turn you loose on the world

No longer give in

To your evil wicked ways

Pretend that you're not here

So you will finally

Go away

What You're Doing To Me

Are we too far gone
For apologies
I thought we had love
Don't you see
Like two peas in a pod
So close together
Loving each other
Naturally
Weren't we good
Together
One on one
We stood firm against all odds
What happened to us baby?
Where did we go so wrong?
Lost our love
What made it go away?
We're so sad
Don't you see
I need you back
Right here by my side
Where you belong
Can't you see
We fit so naturally
Side by side
like A hole in one
When I’m with you
I have so much fun
I can't contain my happiness
So what went wrong?
So what went wrong?
My life is filled with loneliness
I can't go on
No I can't go on
What went wrong?
Why can't you see?
What your love is doing
What your love is doing
To me
Oh... oh... oh
Just can't take this pain
It's driving me insane
Oh ...oh... oh
Look at what you're doing
Look at what you're doing
What you're doing to me baby
So sad and lost you see
Waiting for your love to return to me
The stars won't even shine
And all the sky can do is cry
I live in the darkness
Waiting for your light
To free me from this feeling
My heart aches for you my love
And ya it's only been a few days
But it seems like it's been an eternity already baby
Since you said those cruel words to me
The ones that broke my heart
And pushed me so far away
The world seems so gray to me
My lady
So cold without your love
To keep me warm and bundled up
Are we too far gone
For apologies
I thought we had a special love
One that could stand the tests of time
No one could split us apart
And yet you're with another man
Look at what your love does to me baby
Weren't we good to each other baby?
Together one on one
Thought we would stand firm against all odds
What happened to us darling?
Where did we go oh so wrong?
Is there even a chance for us baby doll?
To try one more time
Isn't it worth it to you honey?
Please don't throw it all away
Just hang on for one more day
Let me show you I can change
In any way you want from now on
Let me your one and only
I can't go on this way
I need your love my darling
I need it in every way
I can't go on without you honey
Each and every day with all this pain
Every minute is an eternity
It's driving me insane
I need your love my darling
I need it in every way
I can't go on without you honey
I don't care who's to blame
Just come on home to me darling
I'll take you in any way
Oh ...oh ...I need your love my darling
I'm starving for your affection
I'll die and wither way
If you don't turn around and stay
I'll be whatever you want
Just don't turn your love away
Oh... oh... oh
Look at what you're doing to me darling
Look at what you're doing to me honey
What you're doing to me baby
So sad and lost you see
Waiting for your love to return to me
Please don't throw it all away
Don't turn your love away
I can't go on without you honey
I don't care who was to blame
Just come on home to me darling
I'll take you in any way
I'll love you for eternity
Just come back home to me baby
Please accept my apology

Could His Crying Be the Rain?

There's no God overlooking us

There's no God watching out for us

There's no God believing us

There's no God deceiving us

Ya...ya...there's no one there

Ya...ya...if he’s there is he doesn't seem to care

Ya...Ya...

Cuz if there was a higher purpose

He's not right here to show us

What is right and what to follow

What is wrong that makes us hollow

The helpless that sing of sorrow

There's no help for us tomorrow

Ya...ya...there can be no God

Why would let he let us wallow

In our mass death and destruction

Just letting us find our own way

Instead of holding out his hand

Why doesn't he love us?

You know I would gladly guide you

Show you the way from the darkest night

But why hasn't he lifted a single hand

Why doesn't he let us know we're not alone?

Ya...ya...ya if he walks amongst us how will we know

He must be invisible to our naked eye

He doesn't want you to see him cry

So ashamed you see

At what we have become

This was not the master plan he had

It was so simple when it all began

Ya...ya...just two of each

So they won’t get lonely like he is

Ya...ya...he gave his only son

And they killed him for their sins

What kind of beast did he let loose

Death and destruction by their own hands

They're killing everything and everyone

There's almost nothing left

All the beauty gone to waist

All the potential he had hoped for the human race

It's all going downhill and there is no way to brake

Ya...ya...just send them straight to hell

Maybe then they will believe

Ya...ya...maybe it's just too late for them

Maybe it's time for me to sleep for another millennium

There's no God overlooking us

There's no God watching out for us

There's no God believing us

There's no God deceiving us

Ya...ya...there's no one way up there

Ya...ya...if there is he doesn’t seem to care

What we go through each and every day

All the sorrow and all the pain

But if he's really way up there

Could his crying be the rain?

Could his crying be the rain?

Could his crying be the rain?

Ya...ya...could his crying be the rain

Don't you see?

Could his crying be the rain?

Could his crying be the rain?

Could his crying be the rain?
