Up To You Now

You can run away from home
but you can't run away from your pain.
Now I sit, here alone
as I place someone else to blame.

It's up to you now.
It's up to you now.
Don't want to be your broken dream
We've run out of fate somehow.
And it's up to you now.

I have to hide from my own face
now that we have fallen from grace.
Arms that hold you close
are the arms that hold you back.
While your world is under attack.

It's up to you now.
It's up to you now.
I stumbled to your alter
with my knees bent my head bound
And it's up to you now.

There's no sound louder than war.
and we don't have to borrow anymore.
You wrote a list
with all your demands
and you nailed it to both of my hands.

And it's up to you now.
Oh it's up to you now.
My fist is full of ashes
And my blood is in the ground.
So it's up to you now. Yes it's up, its up to you now.

(Ben Harper & Relentless7)

I Have Forgiven Jesus

I was a good kid
I wouldn't do you no harm
I was a nice kid
With a nice paper round
Forgive me any pain
I may have brung to you
With God's help I know
I'll always be near to you
But Jesus hurt me
When he deserted me, but

I have forgiven Jesus
For all the desire
He placed in me when there's nothing I can do
With this desire

I was a good kid
Through hail and snow I'd go
Just to moon you
I carried my heart in my hand
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
But Jesus hurt me
When he deserted me, but

I have forgiven Jesus
For all of the love
He placed in me
When there's no-one I can turn to with this love

Monday - humiliation
Tuesday - suffocation
Wednesday - condescension
Thursday - is pathetic
By Friday life has killed me
By Friday life has killed me

(Oh pretty one, Oh pretty one)

Why did you give me
So much desire?
When there is nowhere I can go
To offload this desire
And why did you give me
So much love
In a loveless world
When there's no one I can turn to
To unlock all this love
And why did you stick me in
Self-deprecating bones and skin
Jesus - do you hate me?
Why did you stick me in
Self-deprecating bones and skin
Do you hate me? do you hate me?
Do you hate me? do you hate me?
Do you hate me?

Immortality

Vacate is the word
Vengeance has no place on me or her
Cannot find the comfort in this world
Artificial tear
Vessel stabbed, next up, volunteers?
Vulnerable
Wisdom can't adhere
A truant finds home
And a wish to hold on
But there's a trapdoor in the Sun

Immortality...

As privileged as a whore
Victims in demand for public show
Swept out through the cracks beneath the door
Holier than Thou, How?
Surrendered, executed anyhow
Scrawl dissolved
Cigar box on the floor
A truant finds home
And a wish to hold on too
He saw the trapdoor in the Sun

Immortality...

I Cannot stop the thought
I'm Running in the dark
Coming up a which way sign
All good truants must decide
Oh, Stripped and sold, mom
Auctioned forearm
And Whiskers in the sink
Truants move on
Cannot stay long
Some die just to live

Say Hello Wave Goodbye


Standing at the door of the pink flamingo
Crying in the rain
It was a kind of so so love,
And Im gonna make sure it doesnt happen again.

You and I had to be the standing joke of the year.
You were a run around,
A lost and found.
And not for me I feel.

Take your hands off me, please
I dont belong to you, you see.

Take a look in my face, for the last time.
I never knew you., you never knew me.
Say hello, goodbye.

Say hello and wave goodbye.

We tried to make it work, you in a cocktail skirt.
And me in a suit, and it just wasnt me.
Youre used to wearing less, and now your lifes a mess.
So insecure you seem.

I put up with all the scenes,
This is one scene,
Thats goin to be played my way

Take your hands off me, please
I dont belong to you, you see.

Take a look in my face, for the last time.
I never knew you., you never knew me.
Say hello, goodbye.

Say hello and wave goodbye.
Say hello and wave goodbye.

Under the deep red light,
I can see the make up slidding down.
Well hey little girl, you will will always make up
So take off that unbecoming frown.

As for me well, Ill find some one
Whos not going cheap in the sales.
A nice little house wife, wholl give me a steady life.
And not keep going off the rails.

Take your hands off me, please
I dont belong to you, you see.

Take a look in my face, for the last time.
I never knew you., you never knew me.
Say hello, goodbye.

Say hello and wave goodbye.
Say hello and wave goodbye.
Say hello and wave goodbye.
Wave goodbye.
Say hello and wave goodbye.
Say hello, wave goodbye.
Goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye.

We were born before the wind.
Who were we to understand.
We were born before the wind
Say goodbye.

Through the rain, hail, sleet and snow,
Say good bye.
And Im trying, trying, trying
To say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye.
Say goodbye.

In the wind and the rain my darling.

Say goodbye.

In the wind and the rain my darling...

Easy M

Every time you leave me
Go back in my mind and I find
Every time you held me
And I can't help this feeling inside
So...

Won't you thrill me now
Won't you fill me
I'm feeling so empty
I'll be your toy now
Won't you destroy me now
Then build me up again

Won't you thrill me now
Won't you fill me
I'm feeling so empty
I'll be your toy now
Won't you destroy me now
Then build me up again

Every time you need me
Why don't you come over and try to
Satisfy yourself in me
I can't help the pleasure I find
When...

You abuse me
Won't you just use me now
I'm feeling so happy, so
Won't you tease me
Just come and ease me now
Then give me up again

You amuse me
Won't you just use me now
I'm feeling so happy, so
Won't you tease me
Just come and ease me now
Then give me up again

Won't you fill me now
Won't you please...
Just amuse me...
Just... Just... Just...

Won't you thrill me now
Won't you fill me
I'm feeling so empty
I'll be your toy now
Won't you destroy me now
then build me up again

You abuse me
Won't you just use me now
I'm feeling so happy, so
Won't you tease me
Just come and ease me now
Then give me up again

Oh... won't you leave me again

Oh please, please
Leave me!

We're Leaving

Raise your glasses please into a toast
For we are many hometown ghosts.
Let it spill all over the floor.
What the hell are you saving it for?

On June, July, August, September.
Let's drink 'em all, I don't want to remember.
These have been the best years of our lives.

It's a shame my dear,
There's no room for lost years.
So we're leaving, we're leaving tonight.

You look lovely lying wasted on your bed,
Staring at a photograph of you and your best friend.
They said make a cross over your hearts,
And we'll swear we'll never drift apart.

It's a shame my dear,
To be leaving you here.
But we're leaving, we're leaving tonight.

Oh my heroes, my brothers, where have you gone?
There is something in the air, something is wrong.
Where is my father, my mother, my sister, my lover?
Have you all gone over to the other side?

It's a shame my dears,
There's no room for me here.
So I'm leaving, I'm leaving tonight.

You & Me


Want to pack your bags something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone, gone
Moon and the stars will follow the car
And then when we get to the ocean
Gonna take a boat to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world

Oh and when the kids are old enough, we're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together
We could do anything baby
You and me together yes, yes
You and me together
We could do anything baby
You and me together yes yes

You and I were not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
Eyes closed we're gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky, we're gonna ride the blue
All the way to the end of the world
To the end of the world

Oh and when the kids are old enough, we're gonna teach them to fly

We can always look back at what we did
Always remembering how you and me did
Right now it's you and me forever girl
And you know, we could do better than
Anything that we did
You know that you and me
We could do anything

You and me together
We could do anything, baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything baby

It's so small
Till we reach the end of the world

Dark Days


Learning to breathe again
for the first time
In so long now

Learning to see again
through my pride

Learning to speak again
from my heart

Learning to be a friend
for the first time
for the first time
in so long

for so long

Feel like I'm losing time
when I worry
'cos yesterday won't change

Starting to free my mind
from the shadow of doubt
that keeps me in darkness

testing the air outside
my chamber
into the danger

pushing my limits high
to the red line and over

and why have i waited
so long

for so long

oh

why have I waited?
why have I waited, yeah

well it's hard to be happy
in a world that's so cruel
where the weak just get weaker
where the powerful feud
where the children go hungry
while the soldiers stand by
lay down your weapons
take hold of your lives
and when will we learn
that it's hate that breeds hate
only love is the cure
don't leave it too late
get up, and feel it
the truth that won't wait
if we choose to do nothing
then we take all the blame

You Will Leave a Mark


I am so ashamed
I am so ashamed of all the trouble I have caused
and I am so ashamed of all these unopened doors
I am so ashamed of what I have become

That oh, my heart is bursting again
I don't need this
But your eyes are turning away
Ooooooohh, aaaaaaaahh

I am of the west
I am fair skinned
I deserve a bullet in my chest
If I have no religion and no reason to be scared
If I am going to hell then I just don't care

That oh, my heart is bursting again
I dont need this
But your eyes are turning away
Ooooooohh, aaaaaaaahh

That oh, my heart is bursting again
I dont need this
But your eyes are turning away
Ooooooohh, aaaaaaaahh

If It Be Your Will

If it be your will
That I speak no more
And my voice be still
As it was before
I will speak no more
I shall abide until
I am spoken for
If it be your will

If it be your will
That a voice be true
From this broken hill
I will sing to you
From this broken hill
All your praises they shall ring
If it be your will
To let me sing

If it be your will
If there is a choice
Let the rivers fill
Let the hills rejoice
Let your mercy spill
On all these burning hearts in hell
If it be your will
To make us well

And draw us near
And bind us tight
All your children here
In their rags of light
In our rags of light
All dressed to kill
And end this night
If it be your will

If it be your will.

Sonâmbulo


Numa espécie de limbo, sonâmbulo anda feito pêndulo
Ora pende dormindo, ora pende contra o tempo
E faz deste inimigo atrasado, correndo,justifica um vazio interno, imenso

Fugas mentais ocupam os pensamentos
E se torna incapaz de ocupar a si mesmo
Tvs, cines, jornais, químicas não me tento
Bloquear os canais
Domesticar seus anseios

Que é bom desconfiar dos bons elementos

Feito histórias de moebius, vão tirar sua visão
E te dar olhos passivos adequados a um padrão

Shine


I wonder why
We are the way we are
And so I wonder why
We are the way we are
And why
We only love each other from afar

This is how we are fading
This is how we are fading
Time
Time

You spend your days watching the door
Yeah you spend your whole life waiting
But you don't know what for
You have everything you need right here
Still you want more

Ow this how we are fading
This is how we are fading
Time
Time

Well I didn't come here
Looking for a soul
And I'm tired of watching dust collecting all above
I'm a spirit trying to be human
I'm just a spirit trying to be human

But I'm thinking
This is how we are fading
Whis is how we are fading
Time
Time

You hold on to yourself
You're afraid that you might get left behind
And so you hide your eyes
You're afraid that the lie will make you blind
But it's time
It's time to shine
Yes it's time to believe in what you know
Time to believe in what you know
Time to believe in what you know
And you don't need strength te be strong
Time to believe in what you know
No you don't need strength te be strong
Time to believe in what you know
Time to believe in what you know
Time to believe in what you know
Time to believe in what you know
Time to believe the far you go

Cangote

Fiz minha casa no teu cangote
Não há neste mundo quem me bote
Pra sair daqui
(uh uh uh)

Te pego sorrindo num pensamento
Faz graça de onde fiz meu achego, meu alento
E nem ligo
Como pode, no silêncio, tudo se explicar?!
Vagarosa, me espreguiço
E o que sinto, feito bocejo, vai pegar

Fiz minha casa no teu cangote
Não há neste mundo quem me bote
Pra sair daqui
(uh uh uh)

Luz Negra

Sempre só
Eu vivo procurando alguém
Que sofra como eu também
Mas não consigo achar ninguém

Sempre só
E a vida vai seguindo assim
Não tenho quem tem dó de mim
Estou chegando ao fim

A luz negra de um destino cruel
Ilumina um teatro sem cor
Onde estou representando o papel
De palhaço do amor

Funny The Way It Is


Lying in the park on a beautiful day
sunshine in the grass and the children play
sirens passing, fire engine red
someone’s house is burning down on a day like this.

The evening comes and we’re hanging out
on the front step and a car goes by with the windows rolled down
and that War song is playing, “Why Can’t We Be Friends?”
someone is screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs.

Funny the way it is and if you think about it
somebody’s going hungry and someone else is eating now
funny the way it is, not right or wrong
somebody’s heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song.

The way your mouth feels in a lover’s kiss
like a pretty bird on the breeze or water to a fish
but a bomb blast brings the building crashing to the floor
hear the laughter while the children play war.

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
one kid walks ten miles to school, another’s dropping out
funny the way it is, not right or wrong
on a soldier’s last breath, his baby’s being born.

Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing underneath
it must have been much harder when there was no bridge, just water
now the world is small, compared to how it used to be
with mountains, and oceans, and winters, and rivers, and stars.

Watch the sky, a jet plane so far out of my reach
is there someone up there looking down on me?
A boy chase a bird, so close, but every time
he'll never catch her, but he can’t stop trying.

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
one kid walks ten miles to school, another’s dropping out
funny the way it is, not right or wrong
on a soldier’s last breath, his baby’s being born
funny the way it is, not right or wrong
somebody’s broken heart becomes your favorite song
funny the way it is, if you think about it
one kid walks ten miles to school, another’s dropping out.

Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing underneath
it must have been much harder when there was no bridge, just water
now the world is small, compared to how it used to be
with mountains, and oceans, and winters, and rivers, and stars.

Acho Inúteis as Palavras


Acho inúteis as palavras
Quando o silêncio é maior
Acho inúteis as palavras
Quando o silêncio é maior

Inúteis são os meus gestos
P'ra te falarem de amor
Inúteis são os meus gestos
P'ra te falarem de amor

Acho inúteis os sorrisos
Quando a noite nos procura
Inúteis são minhas penas
P'ra te falar de ternura

Acho inúteis nossas bocas
Quando voltar o pecado
Acho inúteis nossas bocas
Quando voltar o pecado

Inúteis são os meus olhos
P'ra te falar do passado
Inúteis são os meus olhos
P'ra te falar do passado

Acho inúteis nossos corpos

Acho inúteis nossos corpos
Quando o desejo é certeza

Inúteis são minhas mãos
Nessa hora de pureza
Inúteis são minhas mãos
Nessa hora de pureza

I Love You


I have a smile
stretched from ear to ear
to see you walking down the road

We meet at the lights
I stare for a while
the world around us disappears

it`s Just you and me
on my island of hope
a breath between us could be miles
Let me surround you
my sea to your shore
let me be the calm you seek

Oh but every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away

And I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you
I grieve in my condition
for I cannot find the words to say I need you so

Oh but every time I'm close to you
there's too much I can't say
and you just walk away

And I forgot
to tell you
I love you
and the night's
too long
and cold here
without you
I grieve in my condition
for i cannot find the words to say i need you so

Crazy

I remember when
I remember, when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care
I was out of touch
It wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Probably

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
Oh but think twice
That's my only advice

Come on now
Who do you
Who do you think you are
Woah Woah
Bless your soul
Do you really think that you're in control

Well I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me, yeah

My heroes had the heart
To lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember
Is thinking I wanna be like them

Ever since I was little it looked like fun
It was no coincidence that I've come
I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

And so long, mistress sings
So long, I can't wait
To my love, wait one more

So long, mistress sings
So long, my fate has changed
It's been deranged

So long to these kite strings
So long, I've been saved before
I'm saved once more

I call upon my daring
I call upon, I can't taste anymore
I can't waste anymore

Train Song

Traveling north, traveling north to find you
Train wheels beating, the wind in my eyes
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
Call out your name love don't be surprised

It's so many miles and so long since I've left you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long

Nothing at all in my head to say to you
Only the beat of the train I'm on
Nothing I've learn, all my life, on the way to you
One day our love was over and gone

It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll say when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long

What will I do if there's someone there with you
Maybe someone you've always known
How do I know I can come and give to you
Love with no warning and find you alone

It's so many miles and so long since I've met you
Don't even know what I'll find when I get to you
But suddenly now, I know where I belong
It's many hundred miles and it won't be long
