The After Glow

I'm rolling, I'm rolling
over and over
I cant get any sleep
caught up in emotion
I'm really in too far
I'm way in too deep

You
you are like an angel to me
far from above
you descend on me brief
I want you to stay
but you always have to leave

I call you
but you're not by your phone
emotion has got you
you're out having fun
I'm searching and searching
home all alone

You
you are like an angel to me
the things that you say
make me want to believe
over and over
I try to understand
what makes you have this power
over this one

Sweat is pouring
when we make our love
this emotion overtaking us
its like a calling from above
the moon is still shining
the glow is protruding thru
makes you look like an angel
from one of my dreams

You
you are like an angel to me
flying up so high
landing where you need to be
lifting poor lonely hearts
like the one you see in me

And I
I can't believe
that you're here with me

And I
don't want to open up my eyes
I just want to keep this dream
for eternity

And I
I'm gonna keep this love
burning deep inside of me

And I
I want to see you
in the after glow

And I
I want you here with me
here with me

And I
I need you here with me

And I
I want you to know
I'll always be right here for you

And I
I want to see you
in the after glow

Ya, Ya
in the after glow
in the after glow

And I
always gonna need your love
need your love
baby I'm gonna need your love
need your love

And I............

Blinded by the Thirst

The darkness comes
when you surround me
the midnight calls
so I try to break free
from your so called love

You're never with me
when I need you the most
always some where else
but when I call you
somehow you're never lost

When you lead me
when you're here to make love
I can't help it
hypnotized by your eyes
but they keep wandering
looking at the bedroom door

I can tell our time is running low
because you say you have to go
you'll leave in a whisper
saying you'll be back for more
I can't take your cheating
so don't you come back..
anymore

No, no , no, no
don't you come back
anymore

My heart is broken
it can't handle all this pain
the way you've been misbehaving
has got to be a sin
Honey I just don't understand
how could you throw it all away
leave me for those other men

Baby didn't I treat you fair
oh wait I'm forgetting
you don't really care
no, no , no, no
you don't care

Some one's breaking
poor foolish hearts
she's misbehaving throughout the night
so cold to the touch
I was a fool for believing
she could love only one man

What in the world was I thinking
this was doomed from the very start

I should of seen it coming
but I was blinded by the thirst
hoping she would be the one
to heal my heart sick wounds
to stop all these years of hurt

but she kicked me in the teeth
used her body to put me in the dirt
so there I lay flat on my face
my soul not mine for me to keep
this time I'm lost for sure

My eyes are closed
as I pretend to sleep
ya she's heading out the door again
this time she's not coming back
she thinks she has the upper hand
but I already took her key

She'll be someone Else's problem now
let them play the part to be the fool
let them be the one to worry each and every night
if she's even alive or laying in a ditch
she won't bother to even let you know
because her phone is always set on vibrate

The Ballad of Blind Heart Wallow

I fell thru the skylight window
when I found out what you were up to
I knew you weren't being faithful
but I had no proof to bring to you
but boy was I a fool

Who was that man that was with you
how could you do that to me
so many years I was faithful
now with this brand new revelation
can't help all these feelings
my poor heart broke in two

I tried to catch you cheating
now I wish I never had
the blind lives a different life
sometimes its just better not knowing
oh they say ignorance can be bliss

You say you won't be home early
I'll be cooking dinner just for one
honey I know where you are going
you're heading for the cheating side of town
you know my poor heart is weeping
as I change the door locks now

Cuz you won't be cheating
treating me just like a fool
honey you might of got away with it before
but now I'm looking at you harder
eyes wide open to your wayward charms

I fell thru the skylight window
I knew you weren't being faithful
who was that man that was with you
sometimes its just better not knowing
oh they say ignorance can be bliss

You say you won't be home early
honey I know where you are going
you're heading for the cheating side of town
you know my poor heart is weeping
this is brand new revelation
as I change these door locks woman
while you're out with that man

Why don't you let him take you in now darling
you spend way more time with him
I've already helped you with you're packing
you see I've had all night while I was waiting
hoping you would have a change of heart
no I didn't want to lose this loving
I just didn't know it was already gone

Oh they say ignorance can be bliss
Sometimes its just better not knowing
it's all a brand new revelation
the blind live a different life
but it changes when you catch them cheating
cuz it breaks you poor heart in two

Oh they say ignorance can be bliss
Sometimes its just better not knowing
the blind surely live a different life
and it's all a brand new revelation
when your woman not being faithful
and becomes just another ex-wife

I'll leave it all up to you

It makes me mad
It makes me sad
It makes me so angry
I shake my fists
The way you all use my name in vain
it just drives me crazy
ya it's all insane
to think you care that much
to make me your blame
Can't you see
why should I care when you all dare
to choose the path you take
that causes heartache and despair
Death and destruction all the world round
ya I might of had to turn my back on you
because I can't bear to watch all you cry out
when it's you who needs to be better than this
I've tried to hold your hand
guide you with a master plan
but you yanked it back
exclaiming "I don't need you man !"
So I left it all up to you
just to see what you could do
I'm sorry son you fucked it up
it might be too late to fix what's gone
The legacy that you'll leave
just might be seeded in all your graves
Oh I'm at my wits end with all of it
just don't know where to begin again
How could you let it get this way
I had high hopes for future dreams
an Utopia filled with peace and harmony
but I wonder is this all you can bring
is this your destiny to be so mean
And It makes me mad
And It makes me sad
It makes me so angry
I have shake my fists
I can't believe The way
you all use my name in vain
It just drives me crazy
ya it's all insane
to think you care that much
to make me all your blame
Why can't you all see
and why should I care when you all dare
to choose the path you take
that causes all of this heartache and despair
Look at all the death and destruction the world round
ya I might of had to turn my back on you
because I can't bear to watch all you cry out
When it's you who needs to be better than all of this
so no you can't depend on me
to fix all of this
you got to learn to right all your wrongs
but you better hurry up
you haven't long
for you see your time is almost up
So I'll leave it all up to you
just to see what you can do
I'm sorry son that you fucked it up
it might be too late to fix what's gone
Will this be the legacy that you'll leave
all your children seeded in their graves

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
