Providence

Providence, don't let me down again...
Believe me, I'm just an old, old man
sailing away, from images, that keep you drowning
...drowning around my skin
sailing away, from images, that keep you growing...
i am sorrow, I am lost within...
but i'm still lost within...
oh, providence, just let me in...
but i'm still lost within...
as i keep my darkness away
i smell blood on the floor, with my face on the concrete
cuz I AM EVERYTHING as I AM NOTHING
Providence, don't let me down again, no
because I am sorrow, lost within your darkest soul
i feel you...
i feel you...
can't stand away
bring me back to the living
can't walk away
love me..
cold and unforgiving
i smell blood on the floor, with my face on the concrete
cuz I AM EVERYTHING as I AM NOTHING

From The Blue
03:46
|

Minute after minute, dear
lights are out no hope no fear
illusions burn like cigarettes and I... just go away
sailing to the end, dressed in all regrets
with a gun to wash away what lies in me...
if i can't do this...
but i gotta find a way to lose it all...
but i can do this...
with the courage of a dying soul in bloom
and i can do this...
cuz i always find a way to lose it all...
speak right through me
cuz i always find a way to lose it all....
just take it away from me and...
take take take take take all the moments when...
every day seemed fair and un-cursed, boy
and make life shine like everything's new for me ...
lost deep in the blue again
and everything seems running away...
im alive right here and right now so i...
take take take take take all the moments when...
you lie to me
lie to me
try to find your way...
"keep pushing me"
try to sail the waves, find the sense of that heart in yourself
when it seems there's no other way...

If you conquer what creates you, you will conquer what destroys you
cuz at the end of the day is same thing... you see, I've seen my city burn down into pieces, souls on the streets blind for whats really missing, i've seen friends die and hunger strikes. My father's eyes when I was 24...
My mother's heart sore and cold, confused and drunk, I've seen the hatred of a forgotten population in the muzzle of a gun pointed to my face too many times...
I've seen racism, and obsession. We want sex and money but without the complications . We need art to stay alive but we tell our children they need to find a "real" job, "stop dreaming of a better world, kid, go out there and find work" put zeros between your eyes and never mind the beating heart....just never mind the beating heart...
our skin has become so thick, we see violence as a great giant gift...
i've seen the last breath of a woman on her deathbed and found out forgiveness can fit on the grave. please try not to pretend, we keep our eyes shut and act like we don't care, we spent out life acting like we don't care and the end we beg for one more minute to repent because after all that thing called "death" is for the living and
give me one reason not to forgive and forget, colors, religion, ignorance and fear, we are fixated in ourselves and for the rest... and for the rest... just never mind the beating heart
nevermind the beating heart...

Cold Beds
04:34
|

you stand before my eyes
with a grace that hides your pain.
we are losing all this time while our skins melt away
this never-ending fear of failing right inside of you
Am I condescending? suffocating, all the lights, the lights that guided you
cold beds and the silence of the guilt
my mistake was pretending to be free
born broken and staid unbuilt, boy
cold beds and the silence of the guilt
just come and calm me away
unstrained I just drain you away
just come and make me aware…
just come and calm me away…
she said “we will be just fine, my love”
but the only place I rather be, is home with you
I stand alone and watch you fall
my faithfulness has been through much
I stand alone to watch you fall
my faithfulness has been through much

The Bitter The Better
03:40
|

Trying to look away, to find another place to
clear my head and taste the loneliness of the outside
cuz im trying to look away (trying to look away)
washing away the gloom of all the things that really makes a man on the outside
i throw myself inside the gutter
to hear the sound of broken lovers
now i sell my hell so cheap to others
to see if i can start over
sell me a better ad
show me how to live
you created a monster
and the bitter the better I live
feeling down, so powerless
skinned down, so powerless
weathered out, so powerless
feeling down, so powerless
Bitter lives for bitter ends...
Bitter ghosts will feed the rest...
Bitter lives for bitter ends...
all my ghosts will make amends…

from our broken memories, we will make some room to breath
(I'll be what you want me to be)
A simple word could change your mind, not all thats dead is compromised
(ill be what you need me to be)
this city is burning down our feet
our children cry themselves to sleep
(we'll be what you need us to be)
swallow your pride, embrace your goodbyes
I believe in the right time to pray for every broken saint that failed
I believe in the right to pray for every broken saint that failed,
a lifetime to rewrite my pain, over and over again...

Wearing My Wounds
04:08
|

Isn't lovely? isn't pure?
isn't overwhelming this need to be cured?
maybe is the loneliness, maybe is this town...
maybe is the fear of failure that's pushing you down
But I can't let you off my skin
i'm sorry I don't let you in,
the pills, the booze they took the best of me
and now my patience is wearing thin....
but i can't get close
with out shivering out the momentum
and I can't get close
without taking back all my sentence
and I can't get close
without wearing out my wounds
but i can't get close
isn't lovely? isn't clear?
the way I put out my failures to make me look real...
maybe is the loneliness, maybe is this town
maybe I still regret that i'll never make you mine...
But I can't let you off my skin
i'm sorry I don't let you in,
the pills, the booze they took the best of me
and now my patience is wearing thin....
but i can't get close
with out shivering out the momentum
and I can't get close
without taking back all my sentence
and I can't get close
without wearing out my wounds
but I can't get close

Find Me, Fix Me
05:43

Little boy, you got yourself in trouble,
misery speaks to you in tongues,
wear me out and make me feel un-shamed
that past is over you can't no longer hide behind the walls cuz
I keep burying all my heroes
hope keeps drowning down the river
Glorify my nerves (goddamn)
feed my self-control (with blame)
that past is over you can't no longer hide behind the walls...
Little boy, try to stay unrattled,
in a room, where dreams just fade away
nevermind if your heart still beats the same
your hands are shaking, is overwhelming, release me from my despair
Pull strings in my head
hell always seems to find me, fix me...
