Disciplined Breakdown

Collective Soul Disciplined Breakdown Lyrics
1.Disciplined Breakdown

I never ever can remember
All the things that go bump in the night
Quietness uncovers
Betrayal now hovers
And my comfort levels not quite right
I'd love to stay and evaluate
But my torture can't wait
It seems I'm losing ground
Welcome all to my disciplined breakdown
I never can decipher
Who listens to the words I say
While I sense I'm searching
I never know who's lurking
To scare my sacred thought away
I'd love to hang and chat a while
But my minds become vile
It seems I'm losing ground
Welcome all to my disciplined breakdown
I never can contribute
To finding all the faults that sustain
Never mind the answers
To who spreads the cancer
When the questioning of why remains
I'd love to sit and rationalize
But my tongues become dry
It seems I'm losing ground
Welcome all to my disciplined breakdown
Breakdown Reality
Breakdown my ability to get it back
Breakdown honesty
Breakdown now deliver me
From all this madness and all this agony


2.Listen

Hey your thirsty
Walking in the desert all alone
Hey you're now searching
lost in isolation from your soul
The bullets you bite
From the pain you request
You're finding it harder to digest
And the answers you seek
Are the ones you destroy
Your anger's well deployed
Hey why can't you listen
Hey why can't you hear
Hey why can't you listen
As love screams everywhere
Hey you now hunger
Feeding your mind with selfishness
Hey you now wander
Aimlessly around your consciousness
Your prophecies fail
And your thoughts become weak
Silence creates necessity
You're clothing yourself
In the shields of despair
Your courage now impaired
Your crucify all honesty
No signs you see do you believe
And all you words just twist and turn
Reviving just to crash and burn
You're fighting to the bitter end
If only your heart could open up
And listen


3.Crowded Head

All the words that I want to hear
Are distorted by your weaknesses and fear
And your lies that I push away
I might accept them on your good self pity day
All of your sadness is crowded in my head
All of your madness is crowded in my head
And the peace that I really need
You substitute it for your policy of greed
Still your pride always suffocates
Any truth that your heart might want to make
All of your sadness is crowded in my head
All of your madness is crowded in my head
With all your static
I can't distinguish between what's being said
I have no room for this
You see I'm living with a crowded head
And the path that I needed shown
You left me stranded in the darkness all alone
All the promises you fed to me
I'm now choking for the taste of cruelty
All of your sadness is crowded in my head
All of your madness is crowded in my head


4.Giving

Giving me cause so I may yearn
Giving me words so I may learn
I want more I want more
Giving me thoughts that I may keep
Giving me dreams so I may sleep
I want more I want more
Still all I need is love
So give me more
Giving me calm to fall into
Giving me hope to guide me through
I want more I want more
Giving me light to see through tears
Giving me strength to crush my fears
I want more I want more
Still all I need is love
So give me more
I won't bring you down
I won't bring you down anymore
Giving me choice so I may seek
Giving me faith so I'll believe
I want more I want more
Giving me breath of your mercy
Giving yourself to comfort me
I want more I want more
Still all I need is love
So give me more


5.Precious Declarations

Hitched a ride to the peaceful side of town
Then proceeded where things were no longer found
Can't crash now I've been waiting for this
Won't crash now I found some encouragement
Precious declaration reads
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now
Precious declaration says
I believe all hope is dead no longer
New meanings to the words I feed upon
Wake within my veins elements of freedom
Can't break now I've been living for this
Won't break now I'm cleansed with hopefulness
Precious declaration says
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now
Precious declaration says
I believe all hope is dead no longer
Once I jump through hoops of fire
High and far as you required
I was blind but now I see
Salvation has discovered me


6.Everything

With the faces I now wear
It's only proof of my thoughts
Have become impaired
And courage I shall build
Stands at distance still
Everything is physical
Everything takes precedence
Everything's admissible
Everything is evident
And this comfort I've designed
Will only stay intact until
The truth I find
As some answers fly around
No cure I have found
Guide me, save me, teach me
I need to learn from this
Hold me, soothe me my love
The reflection I now see
Is always trying to blind
And discourage me
But my patience still prevail
And myself as well
Everything is comfortable
Everything's a brighter shade
Everything is suitable
Everything is?


7.Blame

You pushed me down
For all the world to see
I guess that's your price
For my loyalty
So while you tasting sin
And swallowing pain
Don't look at me
To take your blame
When your willing to render
To the guilt you concede
When truth is your reason
Then lay that blame on me
When you unveil a conscience
and with peace you agree
When love is your constant
You lay me out
In hopes that I'd wilt away
But strength rained down
And love provided shade
So while the pageant of lies
Still glow from you tongue
Don't blame me for
Your Kingdom Come
Questions your answers
Truth has no anger
Gather up your words
Redemption now offered


8.Maybe

The sky now divides
To bring you back into the fold
Welcome home
Still my need to recognize
Any comfort you may show
Only grows
Guess I'll learn to accommodate
While my heart just sits and waits
Maybe God you found
Maybe is all that you can offer now
Where am I to take refuge
When the storms of pain release
Shelter me
This blessedness of life
Sometimes brings me to my knees
I call on thee
I have not the words to write
A Farewell to you tonight
Maybe God you found
Maybe is all that you can offer now
I know hearts are weeping
While your voice is now singing
On high, angel on high


9.Full Circle

Drowning to discover
I'd swim but then why bother
Wrestled with decisions
And fools with their opinions
One fine morning I'll awake
Then hope to learn
One fine morning I'll awake
To love's return
Round and Round and Round
I believe love goes Round and Round
Round and Round and Round
I believe love comes Round and Round
Singing the rendition
Of hope in my condition
Caught up in defending
That truth is never ending
One fine morning I'll awake
Then reaffirm
One fine morning I'll awake
To love's return


10.In Between

In between us
Good and evil wait
To lie beside us
In our bed we make
In between us
Caution never heeds
We prey on weakness
Then beg for sympathy
In between words
Silence parades so confusion is heard
Our voices afraid
To speak up and reassure
So in between words we remain
In between
In between us
Hope we've yet to see
We long for healings
But the scars never leave
Silence fills the void
Of love and hate
An effective tool
When used to separate
Now separate


11.Link

I'm sleeping to encompass myself
I wake up then distribute what's left
With my anger well defused
The link to love I now may choose
With my heart no more abused
The link of love I now may use
I'm sleeping to develop myself
I wake up then relinquish what's left
With my anger well defused
The link to love I now may choose
With my heart no more abused
The link of love I now may use
I was caught by your lies spinning
Then was saved by truth's opinion
All's quiet now


12.Forgiveness

In my silence I would love to forget
But restitution hasn't come quite yet
And with one accord I keep moving forth
I stretch my heart to heal some more
It used to be all I want to learn
Was wisdom trust and truth
By now all I really want to learn
Is forgiveness for you
As my seasons change I've now grown to know
When one's heart creates, one's soul doesn't owe
So I wash away stains of yesterday
Then tempt my heart with loves display


13.Precious Declaration

precious declaration

Hitched a ride to the peaceful side of town
Then proceeded where thieves were no longer found
Can't crash now i've been waiting for this
Won't crash now i found some encouragement
Precious declaration reads
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now
Precious declaration says
I believe all hope is dead no longer

New meanings to the words i feed upon
Wake within my veins elements of freedom
Can't break now i've been living for this
Won't break now i'm cleansed with hopefulness
Precious declaration reads
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now
Precious declaration says
I believe all hope is dead no longer

Once i jumped thru hoops of fire
As high and far as you required
I was blind but now i see
Salvation has discovered me
