*first**

Once I have your attention

That's when

I'll send my message

Aint gonna

Waste no more

Time on

Paranoia


Simple as it may seem


Getting lost

On the right track

Headed in

The right direction

This train is only gonna make

One stop

Destination


Pointless as it may be


Left alone for to long maybe

Trying to find

Some way out

It's the same

Conspiracy

Wherever

I find myself


No use in still wanting

Something you so easily lost

Why do

The loveliest ladies

Remind me of the wickedest game


You know better you know it's true


I like my sunsets like my lovers

Simple and beautiful

You can call on me anytime

I forgive I forget


This lesson I've learned the best


Left alone for to long maybe

Trying to find

Some way out

It's the same

Conspiracy

Wherever

I find myself


Now that they're on to me

It's time to rearrange the plan

Set your sites on something sane

Focus on the bigger plan


Turn the lights out and just hold on


Coming around the bend

Letting the wind

Carry me in

This life is easy

If you play it right


Left alone for to long maybe

Trying to find

Some way out

It's the same

Conspiracy

However

I define myself


second

I could cure your loneliness

Alright

Reach across this sky

On through the night

Take away that troubled look

In your eyes


I'll be gone without a trace

Before to long

You'll replace

All those memories of you and I

With something sweet

Like a lullaby

To Satisfy


I could cure your loneliness alright

Weave myself into the fabric of your mind

Anchor myself to your sweetest memory

Find that break

And offer you relief


I'll be gone without a trace

Before to long

You'll replace

All those memories of you and I

With something sweet

Like a lullaby

To Pass the time


When things are right

You don't think twice

We just enjoy this moment

For however long it may last

Fer sure it will always pass

That's how you know


It's for real


I could solve your most complex miseries

Remove the confusion with crystal clarity

All you have to do is follow me

Then, we both, shall see


I'll be gone without a trace

Before to long

You'll replace

All those memories of you and I

With something sweet

Like a lullaby

To Pacify


When things are right

You don't think twice

We just enjoy this moment

For however long it may last

Fer sure it will always pass

That's how you know


It's for real


third

I can sense

Your importance

I get this feeling

It might be dangerous

If I follow you in any way

It has something to do

With your attraction


Kind of like

Promising you a fortune

Over those hills

Up ahead

Kind of like

Counting on

Your misfortune

To make you

Believe in me


Go on

And pretend

Not to notice

Even knowing

It'll hurt you

In the end

I need it now

This gratification


Kind of like

Following an angel

That you may never meet

Kind of like

Channeling a stranger

On these busy streets


I can't

Tell you why

It's been that way

For O' so long

Nnnn I can't change overnight

But, I'll try for you my darling

I can sort this out

If you'll be patient with me

While I wield

my

own

end


I am conscious

Of this shared dream

And the light

And it's connection

To me

"Should I love you?"

Is what was written on the outside

Of a lampshade hanging from a ceiling in a dream


Kind of like

The dark politics

That govern the upper echelons

That allow me

Kind of like

A band of angels

Sent to protect hesitant to follow

Into The Valley

We must pass through

Before


I can't

Tell you why

It's been that way

For O' so long

Nnnn I can't change overnight

But, I'll try for you my darling

I can sort this out

If you'll be patient with me

While I wield

My

Own

End


fourth

Take your time and I'll

Take mine

Change your mind and I'll

Change mine

Hurry up with what won't slow you down

Somehow

Give them what they want and hide what matters most


And never let them take this

Away

That's when they

Will come


Make your rise slow

So it last

Paint your eyes

The deepest black

Look yourself over in the mirror and find out

Where you're at

Demons take their time because

That's all they have


And never let them take

Yours away

That's when they

Will come


Nevertheless the signs they always point to yes

The more you resist the tighter their grip

Nevertheless the signs they always point to death

The more you persist the grander your gift


And never let them take

Yours away

That's when they

Will come


Couldn't make up my mind

On what it is I'm supposed to do

Couldn't take you away

Even if I wanted too

Maybe next time

I'll try another way

Sounds to me

Like pouring rain


Settle down before they come

To take you away again

I'm sure together

We can find our way


Where were you all along

Where were you today

Where were you all along

I waited until morning came
