HOME MOVIES Maybe you should open you eyes Since you can’t face what you see anymore A reel of home movies unwinds inside An endless loop from then to now, back again What to do with all this time While others go on making the world turn Stuck with what you don’t want to see There’s nothing left for you but self-pity One last dance, your last smile Now just a still with a date printed below Getting smaller in the rearview mirror You’re waving goodbye but I can’t get out What to do with all this time Whenever these visions come you can call Stuck with what you don’t want to see I see you turn around and walk, walk away The guilt of letting go, the fear of being left behind The pain of letting go, the fear of missing the train Did I leave, did I leave or did you stay behind To live in denial’s just fine Until the day you find Buried under a pile Forgotten handwritten lines So sit alone on the kitchen-floor And cry your eyes out The guilt of letting go, the fear of being left behind The pain of letting go, the fear of missing the call Who’s trying to tell you what exactly are you missing Did I leave, did I leave or did you stay behind

LONGING FOR THE WORD I’m longing for the word As I wear my weakness on my sleeve Make me a promise I could believe when I’m on my knees…who knows Do I have to crawl, if so then I will right now Without thinking twice, I’ve got no more use for pride I’m longing for your word Yeah, you out there, whoever you are I must go for a while, go on a search for all I’ve lost…who knows If we have to kiss then come on, I need it now A new dream just might hurt but I mean well Waiting for the storm to drown away my scars Now is all we’ve got, to live what could be, everything that never was Maybe some day, Maybe some day,

MY PRIVATE ECLIPSE Bright afternoon, cheering crowd Floats drive by, music is loud Everybody's dancing Everybody's laughing Scorching daylight, dream this day Join the parade with no eye-contact Ghosts walk in slow-motion I sleepwalk through the action Never felt so invisible See heaven's playground Expand in the clearing Or is it hell reaching-out To catch you next morning Sunburnt landscape No face in the crowd Visions flicker The mirage has expired Dark afternoon, cheering crowd dark afternoon, cheering crowd In my private eclipse...

THE BOW IS DRAWN Everyday On our way to God knows where That's ok We're just waiting for our cue I'll play my role With this hand I've been dealt On a roll Evacuating this old pain Yeah,yeah, Another day alive The bow is drawn Now let the arrow fly I don't know How many lives we've got That's ok I only need one anyway Chase that light Anywhere, can't be dark forever Yeah, yeah Another day alive The bow is drawn Now I'm flying high Way above the city lights Who's knows just where I'm headed Just the road itself is worth my while *spoken Not sure just what it means or where it leads at all Create, grow then destroy I know it's time to start again so I run and run in circles Until I find myself Yeah, yeah Another day alive The bow is drawn Now I'm flying high Way above the city lights Who knows just where I'm headed Just the road itself is worth my while

THE DEVIL'S SMILE Sit on a chair on a beach Black-eyed, white faced Stay still with hands on your knees Lips tightly shut Give me that asking stare From deep, deep under I see a mother's eyes In great silence As cold as the devil's smile Show me wild clues in a dream Grey beach, brown water Draw the ten of spades every hand Locked-in and lost Lightning strikes the child dead Abandoned on the barren land I see a mother's eyes In great silence Ice-cold while the devil smiles I see your eyes bleed black Meanwhile the devil's mask slowly falls I see your eyes bleed black Meanwhile the last face they met Dissolves into the devil's smile
