Grand Confusion -lyrics
1. WOUNDED SOUL
Life has not been real to me
Since the day they cut down my tree
There's much more than you can see
Behind the curtain lies reality
I held the world but it made me cry
Wounded soul - can't deny
Look at me, see the reason why
that old phrase is true
What goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around
What goes around, comes around
The day has come to serve some time
Pay your dues and step into line
I know all mistakes were mine
Each of us will pay for our crimes
I held the world but it made me cry
Wounded soul - can't deny
Look at me see the reason why
That old phrase is true
What goes around, comes around...
2. GOOD INTENSIONS
This road leads away from the tears you cannot hide
Stranger than fiction, how you die from the inside
I am ashamed of these tears I cannot cry
We've come a long way but baby this is goodbye
We were full of good intensions
Now there's nothing left to mention
Left behind a dead impression
This path leads away from the joy I felt inside
I'm losing myself in this void of life
I've been here before without a reason why
I've come a long way but now I'm too weak to try
We were full of good intensions
Now there's nothing left to mention
Left behind a dead impression
3. WE SHINE ON
Can't believe you walked out the door
I pick the pieces off a shattered floor
You passed me by in the midst of it all
I'm so helpless
You wanted peace they gave you war
They hold you down and they want you to crawl
They don't know the meaning of love
You're so helpless
We shine on past tomorrow
We shine on past tomorrow
We shine on...
4. YOU CAN WAIT
I said: "Hey! Whatcha doing here,
yelling and screaming so loud?"
You say: "Hey! The end is near
The moment is here to reach out"
You can wait a lifetime
and you never learn
Can even wait for the right time
But in the end you get burned
Don't say goodbye tomorrow
tomorrow
Ain't the same, it hasn't been
since you walked out the door leavin' me
What a shame, it's a cardinal sin
What I'd give you'd take it for free
You can wait a lifetime
for something you don't deserve
You can wait for the right time
But in the end you get burned
Don't say goodbye tomorrow
Don't say goodbye tomorrow
You can wait
Don't say goodbye tomorrow...
You can wait
5. GOODBYE
I've been waiting for
someone like you to tow in the line
But you lead me wrong
Close the door and turn out the light
I've been waiting for
the sun to go down turning to night
But you're hanging on
Open the door, don't say goodbye
We all light up deep inside
We all shine on deep inside
And deep inside I see the hope in your eyes
6. MOTHERLAND
Ain't gonna hold me no more with your evil ways
Yeah I'm gone, through my eyes I have seen the change
I'm heading home to a new land
My past is swept away
Motherland, there's no hope that I'm gonna stay
Motherland, wave goodbye and forget my name
Met my Lord in the new land
Now tears will turn to rain
Met my Lord in the new land
Now tears will turn to rain
7. HARDER WHEN I COME AROUND
Here we go, Johnny Cash!
Got no money and no future plans
Tell you a story 'bout a clubhouse and gas
Everything is ready now just take your chance
Here you go, Mama Cass
One clubsandwich and delivered fast
Got no money and no future plans
Everything is ready now I take my chance
I love you harder when I come around
Here I go with the man
Got no money and no future plans
Chooglin' down my holy land
Tell me everything is ready when they come and
I love you harder when I come around
8. I LOSE MYSELF
That day went down in infamy
You left me there begging on my knees
It hurt like hell, girl you'll never know how
I'd give my soul just to be with you now
I lose myself
since breaking up
so set me back down
I shed these tears
I find myself alone again
Just me and my fears so help me
I lose myself
A broken man
A shattered plan
Amidst a hail of tears
You had me down baby
Right on the ground
Don't look in vain you won't find me
I lose myself in a faceless crowd
I get back up but I fall right down
I'm losing touch, I can't help myself
Oh let me drown, I shed these tears
I shed these tears
9. GRAND CONFUSION
When the walls are closing in
The world is spinning from the turmoil within
Call your name in my head
closing the gap between the living and the dead
When you're down, out on the street
Your soul is crying "Oh Lord, help me!"
It brings you down to your knees
Grand confusion or just another dream?
When the walls are closing in
They slam the door in your face again
How high is the price?
Save my soul one more time
10. EVERYTHING WILL BE ALRIGHT
I know everything will be alright
I know everything will work out fine
I'll meet you by the river
we'll shine on one last time
