Sense Life

1. Rain
I take emptiness in, take all that's left
I take hold of my heart, study it's parts
Alone in the dark, only sheltered in part
And I came by your window tonight
And I can't stop the pouring of the Rain
I leave love in your path, as the gut feelings start
I take leave of this sense, while I gather my heart
Alone in the dark, only sheltered in part
And I came by your window tonight
And I can't stop the pouring of the Rain
And I came by your window tonight and I can't
Stop the Rain
Stop the Rain
I long to deceive my innocent eye
My conscience is lost, and I don't know why
I lost and trailed you through all of the night
I loved and need you with all of my might
And I came by your window tonight
And I can't stop the pouring of the Rain
And I came by your window tonight
And I can't stop the pouring of the Rain
And I came by your window tonight, and I can't
Stop the Rain
Stop the Rain
Stop the Rain

2. Sense Life
Sense Life, See what’s really out there…
Someone once asked me, do you want to feel?
Do you want to Sense Life?
See what's really out there?
Then love hit me, hit me where it hurt
How can something hurt so bad and feel so good?
Poison bring you back to life?
How can the blind have sight?
How can the weak be strong?
And how can this make me carry on?
Won't someone hear me, scream at me?
Is this what love is?
I'm not a man, I thought, to be messed with
I thought I wasn't dumb
Whatever it is I can take it
Just hit me where it hurts, and you'll see
Then love hit me, hit me where it hurt
How can something hurt so bad and feel so good?
Poison bring you back to life?
How can the blind have sight?
How can the weak be strong?
And how can this make me carry on?
Won't someone hear me, scream at me?
Is this what love is?
To see clear through the mists of time,
Won’t someone scream at me?
I can't feel it anymore
No, I'm not a stranger to this
Yes, I have been here before
But I can't see beyond these eyes
No, I can't overt my gaze
No amount of crying in the night
Screaming, screaming to be heard
How can the wise be weak?
When the rich are so strong?
And how can this make me carry on?
When I try
Try to taste what I can't taste
Feel what I can't feel
And hear what can't be heard
Banish these feeling from my heart
Oh make this start a fresh one
Won't someone hear me
Scream at me
Is this what love is?
Sense Life, See what’s really out there…

3. Cry Blue
And this beast that comes to life with a word
How was I to know it would dance without control
How was I to know, what only hearts come to know
Only Hearts Cry Blue
The triggers fire to certain smell
The catalyst the name always taken in vain
There's a stain that remains to always remind
Only Hearts Cry Blue
Can you hear it going, Wow…
They Cry Blue
Cry Blue for you
And if this romantic incline is a word
Could this be the gift to remind me of you
It's a face in a word, I thought I had heard
But it wasn't you
And if hearts Cry Blue
Would it be true to say
Would it be true to say, I missed you
Because this heart Cried Blue
Can you hear it going, Wow…
They Cry Blue
Cry Blue for you

4. If I
If I promised to myself that I truly wouldn't care
If I knew that I was lying but really didn't dare
Allow this mind to daydream
Or think of things
Or look at things
Or talk of things
Or smell the things
That just might make it clear
If buried my intention, shackled my invention
Forgot to let hope, be a guide (be my guide and If I)
Banished from my heart,
If I refused to let it start, wanting you
Wanting you, wanting you, wanting you
Would you be there? Would you be there?
If I straightened this confusion, Stopped the false illusions
Sacrificed my hurting, for my pride (be my pride and If I)
Shut out warm reminders
And If I put all that behind us and not need you
Not need you, not need you, not need you
Would you be there? Would you be there?
Would you be there? Would you be there?
If I promised to myself that I truly wouldn't care

5. Five Minutes
Five Minutes, can cost you a lot, maybe it all
It could almost be looked at as innocent
It could almost be seen, as harmless and clean
And the reasons could almost be understood, so no
Five Minutes, isn't a lot
Five Minutes, can cost you a lot
It's a breath of your life, it's a trick of the clock
It's the difference it makes to two lives, maybe three
Can make the snap of two fingers, last an eternity
Five Minutes, Five seconds, Five hours, Five days
Turns the simple and clear, into a wandering maze, so no
Five Minutes, isn't a lot
Five Minutes, isn't a lot
It's a second that got, out of hand
A rouge in the order, a minute to waste, an incredibly boring old game
Seen a thousand times since, and a million before
But it's different each time than the game was before, so no
Five Minutes, isn't a lot Five Minutes, can cost you a lot
Five Minutes, Five seconds, Five hours, Five days
Turns the simple and clear, into a wandering maze, so no
Five Minutes, isn't a lot
Five Minutes, isn't a lot
Five Minutes, Five seconds, Five hours, Five days
Turns the simple and clear, into a wandering maze, no no
Five Minutes, isn't a lot
Though I've said it before you'll know
Five Minutes, can cost you a lot

6. Panic in the Kitchen
I'm seeing a place in the middle that I've not seen before
It's a place I can sit quietly with you
There's a chink in my amour
A tear in the flaw
A room with a simple still quiet view
There's a Panic in the Kitchen
There's a Panic in the Kitchen
Reaching high enough to tear the muscles in my back
Or staring through the crack under the door
Lurching between
The sobbing and the preen
Black to red, black to white, black to red, black to white…
There's a Panic in the Kitchen
There's a Panic in the Kitchen
There's a panic in the
Black to red, black to white, black to red, black to white…
I'm seeing a place in the middle that I've not seen before
It's a place I can sit quietly with you

7. Free
I did not believe myself today
I have never been so high as when my instinct ran away
Never more will conscience worry me
And my innocence is traded, for the ghost that shadowed me
Joy of innocence that's lost.
Today Love went away
That promised to stay
Something's gone but magic's in my eyes
To my surprise
Hidden and wise
Something in my heart has been set Free.
I was but a fool to carry doubt
Lost the weight of love that could not carry out
All that I grown to curry and respect
All that tied my mind, from what I could not find
When the hurting went away
Today Love went away
That promised to stay
Something's gone but magic's in my eyes
To my surprise
Hidden and wise
Something in my heart has been set, Free.
Finally pain has worked out
With it went the doubt, oh
Suddenly I've been set Free, oh wow oh wow
Silly me
Now I'm
Free
Now I'm
Free
Today
Love went away
That promised to stay
Something's gone but magic's in my eyes
To my surprise
Hidden and wise
Something in my heart has been set Free
Free

8. Hope, Truth & Iodine
Without the use of bricks & mortar
And without the use of steel
But with Hope and Truth and Iodine
I build this love for you
Take my hand, we will see, what becomes of you and me
Catch my arm take a look at all you've left
There is truth by the sea, and a place for us to be
Making shadows leaves no need to be bereft
There's a feeling I get when I look upon this mess
And my spirit starts crying to be free
For the liar and the thief, the abusive and cheat
Make a mockery of freedom come and see
For without the use of mortar
And without the use of steel
But with Hope and Truth and Iodine
I build this love for you
Turn your lonely eyes to winter
Leave the icing on the floor
Take a letter to the postman, you're not
Coming back here again at all
I have been far away but I'm back again to stay
For sometimes it is better not to speak
Make a mark I can keep, I will watch you while you sleep
Making marks is a pastime to be missed
If I am gone when you wake
No offence must you take
Things are seldom exactly what they seem
In the first light of day, then we shall away
And I will show you all the magic you can dream
For without the use of mortar
And without the use of steel
But with Hope and Truth and Iodine
I build this love for you a
Turn your lonely eyes to winter
Leave the icing on the floor
Take a letter to the postman, you're not
Coming back here again at all
Without the use of bricks & mortar
And without the use of steel
But with Hope and Truth and Iodine
I built this love for you

9. The Greed and the Hunger
I'm a normal man, this is my release
I'm in charge of my own life, I consider myself free
I am bound up, I am binded, by the shackles of deceit
I would not harm you but for reason, this is my release
For in the Greed and the Hunger, of a normal human mind
Lies a body, of an angel, she is bound she is blind
If you sneak up very quietly, on the part of us that's men
You might hear her softly weeping, as the feeling crush begins
Oh let the feeling begin
In the shade of a cold daylight under the glare of a truth-seeking sun
Is a boy he left to become a man, make joy to suffer wherever he can
If you can't understand him, be grateful not to know
For this is truth as it's always been, when a boy becomes a man
In the Greed and the Hunger, of a normal human mind
Lies a body, of an angel, she is bound she is blind
If you sneak up very quietly, on the part of us that's men
You might hear her softly weeping, as the feeling crush begins
Oh let the feeling begin…
For without the mincer, to dispel this mortal soul
And without the guardian angel, to protect him from the shoal
A man would be an island, a traitor to his race
And upon closer inspection, be no different from his mate
Oh let the feeling begin…
In the Greed and the Hunger of a normal human mind
Lies a body of an angel, bound, blind and
If you sneak up very quietly on the part of us that's men
You might hear her softly weeping as the feeling crush begins
Oh no, no, no, oh let it begin…

10. Loneliest Place in the World
It’s sparkling the wet on the track and all I can hear is the sound of rushing water
This could be the loneliest place in the world
It’s nearly the morning, though the night it seems endless
The sound of the birds contrasts with the smell of the night
Just one other lonely figure aware of my presence
This could be the loneliest place in the world
I can dream around music and distort the whole universe
I can muscle up people that never existed,
don’t let me remember the harshness of daylight
This could be the loneliest place in the world
This could be the loneliest place in the world
The loneliest place in the world, in the world
A crack and the bell starts a ringing, the ferry man springs to life
The twang of the lines beats with the time of my dreams
So the night knight comes to life
And I can escape the trippings of my mind
And I’m saved once more, though it’s not nearly right
The pace of the loner is whipped into action
This could be the loneliest place in the world
This could be the loneliest place in the world
The loneliest place in the world, in the world
