Not As Much
Lyrics — “Not As Much”
Is it cruel or kind
For me to speak my mind
And to tell you how I've been
I've tried my best
To puff out my chest
And to keep my head held high
Do you understand
What's going on
Behind these blue eyes of mine
I needed you so much before
Not as much as I need you now
Does your poor heart ache
As the morning breaks
Is the moon still by your side
Do you heed the warning
On a sailor's morning
Do you guide your flock in peace
Do you know by now
not to show your hand
As you play the game of chance
Does your warm breath
Disappear on the wind
Giving life to all around
I've done my best
To puff out my chest
Against all odds we're here
And the flowers grow
Round my open wound
And you're still by my side
I needed you so much before
Not as much as I need you now
Do you understand
What's going on
Behind these blue eyes of mine
I needed you so much before
Not as much as I need you now
Man Made
Lyrics — “Man Made”
Man built the walls
To protect us all
And he made
Machines to tear them down
Man lends a hand
Whenever you fall
First he pulls
The rug from under you
First there was nothing
Now there's not that much more
The truth it hides behind
The key to your door
Man made the gods
You can't worship them all
But you can spill
Blood in their name
Man won't see you in need
Tells you just what you seek
And surrounds himself
With lust and greed
First there was nothing
Now there's not that much more
The truth it hides behind
The key to your door
Spinning round & round & round
Like a song, trapped within
For the children
Who Run, Run, Run
To be free
Only seeking Peace
The Crossings
Lyrics — “The Crossings”
New life in the crossings
Wash feet in the stream
I'm wandering round, trying to find
Something that I'll never find
I hear the trees, they speak to me
The wind rustles their leaves
I'm out on the street, out on my feet
I'm out of my time
I've been down this road so many times
Only now I can see
Echoes in the quarry
Like the lines on my face
Go deeper down, under the ground
Feel it under your seat
The wheels are moving, water is free
Flowing under the bridge
Turning tides, clouds drifting by
Waves of waving at me
I've been down this road so many times
Only now I can see
She only speaks to those who know
Bring her flowers that never grow
And the lining, round her dreams
Shattered at the seams
As she wanders, around the halls
New life in the crossings
Washed feet in the stream
I'm wandering round, trying to find
Something that I'll never find
I hear the trees, they speak to me
The wind rustles their leaves
The turning tides, clouds drifting by
Waves of waving at me
I've been down this road so many times
Only now I can see
I've been down this road so many times
Only now I feel free
