The Fall


It's strange what sights and sounds seep through the sifter

Starring center stage on the silver screen of my mind

And it's streaming all the time

Sure makes it hard to unwind


Dazed and deluded just a daydreaming drifter

Drifting towards destruction like a silent waterfall

I can barely hear you call

And I sure can't make sense of it all


Lord, I love this life I'm living, but I'm not sure I can keep it up

Feels like I'm fooling everyone I meet

And as strange as it sounds

I sorta like being down

'Cause people don't ask too much of me


Tantalizing, mesmerizing, agonizing song

I can hardly wait until the curtain call

It's been a long time since the fall

And I sure can't make sense of it all


Lord, I love this life I'm living, but I'm not sure I can keep it up

Feels like I'm fooling everyone I meet

And as strange as it sounds

I sorta like being down

'Cause people don't ask too much of me

People

Don't ask too much of me

I Am Not Alone

  If I were you and you were me There the two of us would be Standing on the inside looking out I would know and you would too What the words and attitudes  Are really all about Really all about I think we would find The same questions trouble our minds Years we've wasted  And fears we've tasted  Are of such a similar kind We're in this life together There are storms we all weather I believe we'd be the better If we let our guard down And secrets were found out As the masks hit the ground We all cry out I am not alone..... I am not alone ...... I am not alone I've got a mean little menace trapped in the walls of my senses I drive myself plumb senseless  When I try to please him  I've tried to drink it away I've fallen to my knees and prayed Sometimes I just want to say I don't know how to beat him  I think we would find The same questions trouble our minds Years we've wasted  And fears we've tasted  Are of such a similar kind We're in this li...
