From the day I saw your face, Dear
I swear I found the answer
Its like I can't escape you now, then every moment after
The world she opens up to take us back again and again and again and again
There's just no moving past her
She leads me to green pastures
In a day dream she created there
She made it, just for you to play, and she makes it through for me
But that's a whole new different chapter of the playbill's orchestrated illustrations
Left some pages out the book, they didn't say she was a dancer

It's a whole new story now
What a time to be alive, and be a part of what's arrived
If you'd allow me to i'd tell you that I'm sorry for the lies, but I knew the truth would make you cry
Somehow it's always on my mind, just like these things left unaddressed
An elephant gets swept under the rug, or stuffed into a chest on top of your dresser, next to an empty bottle of drugs that got you messed up
Lock me in your mind let's think
We're pacing the floor boards
How we can get somewhere together though things ain't like they were before
Life isn't always what you thought, yet, rarely ever how it seems
When you've been waking up from dreams into a world that doesn't care about a thing
Boys, eat your mushrooms
Silly chicks take LSD
All fun and games
We'll laugh and play, just like the way it used to be
Way way way back before remission, when we were sippin' on the venom of snake fangs, skipping super for a fix or two and then some
You justify addiction by calling it medication, like as long as it's prescription you can always play the victim
You been cruisin' for a bruising
Some people, they call it boozing
It's all the same colored vision
Giving up, when you give in to them
Sniffin' blues, and you can call it what you want
What the fuck? It's just that some so filled with greed their life is worth a couple bucks
Yeah
So I stand and take my place
Hold your mark
Start the race
Make it look effortless and elegant
My style's amazing Grace
Ya best be careful being cautious, cause there's a danger playin' it safe
Say what you want, just don't forget,
Who we are
Show your face
It's like

From the day I saw your face, Dear
I swear I found the answer
Its like I can't escape you now, then every moment after
The world she opens up to take us back again and again and again and again
There's just no moving past her
She leads me to green pastures
In a day dream she created there
She made it, just for you to play, and she makes it through for me
But that's a whole new different chapter of the playbill's orchestrated illustrations
Left some pages out the book, they didn't say she was a dancer

Mother Mary
You gave birth to the son of God and his glory
I see us there in the history books, but who's telling our stories
And yes, I know you came before me, but it seems you missed a couple things
That's just the way it goes
I guess we'll never know what new day brings
What a perfect time to reconcile our differences, and set apart
Burn all the wickedness & hatred we have stored deep in our hearts
And know, no matter where you go I'm always down to ride
There's no more standing on the fence of how you feel inside
That's suicide
It's time to pick a side
Darkness on the rise, for 40 days and nights
Clouds obscured the sky
Trust, I cried my eyes out
Tried my best, but nothing changed in the mind of who chose to remain blind
Bought a ticket for the flight, but the plane was delayed
Grounded
Skyline shine throughout the night
Sometimes, I stay up late, wondering why we can't find our own way through the silence in the cold dark day, girl
Mirror mirror on the wall, it's a play world
A reflection from the past, as it unfurls, there you'll meet your fate
It's your life on staged chess board
Closer to my soul than a curse on a crossword puzzle
But I don't know if I have the will to keep trying to stay alive
'Cause it's like my spirit died, and resurrected several times
I'll never leave you

From the day I saw your face, Dear
I swear I found the answer
Its like I can't escape you now, then every moment after
The world she opens up to take us back again and again and again and again
There's just no moving past her
She leads me to green pastures
