Dosage

Collective Soul Dosage Lyrics
1.Needs

All around me, I see what weakness has made
Too much tomorrow, I think I'll take all today
Am I a poison, am I a thorn in the side
Am I a picture perfect subject tonight

And I don't need nobody
And I don't need the weight of words
To find a way to crash on through
And I don't need nobody
And I just need to learn the depth
Or doubt of faith to fall into

Here I slumber to awaken my daze
I find convenience in this savior I save
Am I a prison, am I a source of dire news
Am I a picture perfect reason for you

And I don't need nobody
And I don't need the weight of words
To find a way to crash on through
I don't need nobody
And I just need to learn the depth
Or doubt of faith to fall into

In this time of substitute
It's my needs I've answered to
All the while
And all the hope that I invest
Turns to signals of distress
All the while

I don't need nobody
And I don't need the weight of words
To find a way to crash on through
And I don't need nobody
I just need to learn the depth
Or doubt of faith to fall into

Doo doo doo doo doo, you're a lightning
Doo doo doo doo doo, yeah, when the water runs deep
Doo doo doo doo doo, yeah, you're a lightning
Doo doo doo doo doo, now I cry my soul to sleep

Doo doo doo doo doo, you're all I need
Doo doo doo doo doo, you're all I need
Doo doo doo doo doo, you're all I need
Doo doo doo doo doo, you're all I need

Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo


2.She Said

She said that time is unfair
To a woman her age
Now that wisdom has come
Everything else fades

She said she realizes
She's seen her better days

She said she can't look back
To her days of youth
What she thought were lies
She later found was truth

She said her daddy had dreams
But he drank them away
And her mother's to blame
For the way she is today

'Life's river shall rise', she said
'That only the strong shall survive', she said
'But I'm feeling quite weak', she said
'Will you comfort and forgive me', she said

She says she's still searching
For salvation's light
Yeah, she wishes all day
And then, she prays all night

She said she won't speak of love
'Cause love, she's never known
And it's moments like these
She hates to be alone

'Life's river shall rise', she said
'That only the strong shall survive', she said
'But I'm feeling quite weak', she said
'Will you comfort and forgive me', she said

'Life's river shall rise', she said
'That only the strong shall survive', she said
'But I'm feeling quite weak', she said
'Will you comfort and forgive me', she said

'Life's river shall rise', she said
'That only the strong shall survive', she said
'But I'm feeling quite weak', she said
'Will you comfort and forgive me', she said

Forgive me
She said
Forgive me
She said


3.No More, No Less

Here I lie, motionless
Catch me if you can
My properties of no defense
So strike at your command

But, don't bring me down
Alright
Don't bring me down
'Cause there's purpose for this night

Save me, come tomorrow
Lead me to my urgency
See, I'm no more, no less
Of an angel than you'd have me be
So let's shake it like this

Steady here, I cast my lines
Only to expose
A weaker sense and no constraint
Now, my true self shows

But don't bring me down
Alright
Don't bring me down
'Cause there's promise in this night

Save me, come tomorrow
Lead me to my urgency
See, I'm no more, no less
Of an angel than you'd have me be
So let's shake it like this

Just a little bit like this

Don't bring me down
Alright
Don't bring me down
And there's still promise in this night

Save me, come tomorrow
Lead me to my urgency
See, I'm no more, no less
Of an angel than you'd have me be

Yeah, save me, come tomorrow
Lead me to my urgency
See, I'm no more, no less
Of an angel
So let's shake it like this

A little bit, just like this
A little bit, a little bit like this
A little bit, a little bit
A little bit, we'll shake a little bit like this


4.Dandy Life

Took a walk to a caution scene
I guess I crossed the line somehow
And if I lost some of your hope
I'm sorry for the folly was all mine

And I don't ever really understand
All the things that we say, but I try to anyway, anyhow
For what's in a day of a dandy life
For what's in a day of this dandy life
Everything, everything, everything

Oooh, hangin' on every word
Oooh, my social butterfly
Oooh, everyone wants to be loved
Oooh, loved in their own way

I can say I spent the night
On this telephone inside
When you said that every single one of us can find a happy face
So why don't you go try, try anyway

And I suppose I was born yesterday 'cause I never thought of
things
Quite in that way at all in that way
For what's in a day of a dandy life
For what's in a day of this dandy life
Everything, everything, everything

Oooh, hangin' on every word
Oooh, my social butterfly
Oooh, everyone wants to be loved
Oooh, loved in their own way

Oooh
Oooh

Oooh, hangin' on every word
Oooh, my social butterfly
Oooh, everyone wants to be loved
Oooh, loved in their own way

Oooh, everyone wants to be loved
Oooh, loved in their own way
Oooh, hangin' on every word
Oooh


5.Crown

Who's gonna be my savior
Now that I've learned to believe
Who's gonna be the answer
To all of my questioning

Well, I hope I'm not lost
But I think that hope is now distancing
And the words that secure a cause
Are not faint whisperings

Who's gonna wear my crown
Who's gonna wear my crown
I don't know
I just might, alone

Who's gonna wear my crown
Who's gonna wear my crown
I don't know
I just got to go my way

And who's gonna be my partner
Now that I stand here alone
Who's gonna be the shepherd
To lead this poor boy back home

Well, I hope I'm not lost
But I think that hope is now distancing
And the words that secure a cause
Are now faint whisperings

Who's gonna wear my crown
Who's gonna wear my crown
I don't know
I just might, alone

Who's gonna wear my crown
Who's gonna wear my crown
I don't know
I just got to go my way

Who's gonna wear my crown
Who's gonna wear my crown
I don't know
I just might, alone

Who's gonna wear my crown
Who's gonna wear my crown
I don't know
I just got to go

Oooooooh
Oooooooh


6.Slow

Mornings like this make me feel
Like I never could float
Glimpses of peace portray
All that you never could show

I'm not weakened by the fears
That you have applied
See, I'm now learning in these walls
That I've been supplied

Slow down
Slow down, boy
Slow down to control
Slow down, slow

Clothed in new costumes
That weather your newfound storms
Staring through reason
Content with your newfound décor

I'm not weakened by the fears
That you have applied
See, I'm now learning in these walls
That I've been supplied

Slow down
Slow down, boy
Slow down to control
Slow down, slow

- I passed the darkened vaults of late doorways as if I were a
king. Like this, I chain a wisper to my faults.

I'm not weakened by the fears
That you have applied
See, I'm now learning in these walls
That you have been supplied

Slow down
Slow down, boy
Slow down to control
Slow down, slow


7.Compliment

Now, I've taken the side
Of a beautiful calm
Can you see this disguise
Fading to a resolve

And there it goes, my innocence
While gathering up a compliment
And here I lie with words to swear
There's something more than the world out there
The world out there

And hesitation compounds
I've nothing left to sustain
My worries here have allowed
A momentary refrain

And there it goes, my innocence
While gathering up a compliment
And here I lie with words to swear
There's something more than the world out there
The world out there

And there it goes, my innocence
While gathering up a compliment
And here I lie with words to swear
There's something more than the world out there

And there it goes, my innocence
I'm dying here for a compliment
And here I lie with words to swear
There's something more than the world out there
The world out there
The world out there


8.Generate

Hey
You give me no choice
I entertain by the silence
That you created by noise

Oooooh

Hey
I'm flirting inside
I need the floor opened up
For the scream I'd now love to shout

Oooooh

I can't convey, I can't relate
To the thoughts you now g-generate
I can't contain, I can't explain
All the words you now g-generate

Hey
I swallowed your pride
To gather up confrontation
That you have so long denied

Oooooh

I can't convey, I can't relate
To the thoughts you now g-generate
I can't contain, I can't explain
All the words you now g-generate

Can't convey, can't relate
To the thoughts you now g-generate
Can't contain, can't explain
All the words you now g-generate

I can't convey, I can't relate
To the thoughts you now g-generate
I can't contain, I can't explain
All the words you now g-generate


9.Not The One

I waltzed around you seven times
Only to become
A melody you never sang
I'm not the one

Oooh, oooh
I'm not the one
Oooh, oooh
I'm not the one

Clouds of thought you filter through
Never to reason
While patiently, your world still bleeds
Who shall be your one?

Oooh, oooh
I'm not the one
Oooh, oooh
I'm not the one

Oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh

Oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh

Oh (I waltzed around you)
Oh oh oh (seven times)
Oh oh oh (only to become)
Oh

Oh (a melody)
Oh oh oh (you never sang)
Oh oh oh (I'm not the one)
Oh

Oooh, oooh
I'm not the one
Oooh, oooh
I'm not the one

Oooh, oooh
I'm not the one
Oooh, oooh
I'm not the one
Not the one
Not the one


10.Run

Are these times contagious
I've never been this bored before
Is this the prize I've waited for
Now with the hours passing
There's nothing left here to insure
I long to find a messenger

Have I got a long way to run
Have I got a long way to run
Yeah, I run

Is there a cure among us
From this processed sanity
I weaken with each voice that sings
Now, in this world of purchase
I'm going to buy back memories
To awaken some old qualities

Have I got a long way to run
Have I got a long way to run
Yeah, I run
Yeah, I run

Have I got a long way
Have I got a long way
Have I got a long way to run
Have I got a long way to run

Yeah, I run (have I got a long way to run)
Yeah, I run (have I got a long way to run)
Yeah, I run (have I got a long way to run)
Yeah, I run (have I got a long way to run)


11.Heavy

Complicate this world you wrapped for me
I'm acquainted with your suffering

And all your weight, it falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight, it falls on me
It falls on me

Hold me up to those whom you decieved
Promises you break, you still believe

And all your weight, it falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight, it brings me down
It brings me down

And all your weight, it falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight, it falls on me
It falls on me

And all your weight, it falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight, it falls on me
It falls on me


12.Tremble For My Beloved

The hour has begun
Your eyes have now opened

To a world where madness craves
To a world where hope's enslaved
Oh, I'll tremble for my love always

Your windows, opened wide
Your innocence takes flight

To a world where madness craves
To a world where hope's enslaved
Oh, I'll tremble for my love always

It's a world where madness craves
It's a world where hope's enslaved
Oh, I tremble for my love always

It's a world where madness craves
It's a world where hope's enslaved
Yeah, I tremble for you, love, always


13.No More No Less

Here i lie motionless
Catch me if you can
My properties of no defense
So, strike at your command

But, don't bring me down
All right
Don't bring me down
Cause there's purpose
For this night

Save me come tomorrow
Lead me to my urgency
See i'm no more no less
Of an angel
Than you'd have me be
So let's shake it like this

Steady here i cast my lines
Only to expose
A weaker sense and
No constraint
Now my true self shows

But, don't bring me down
All right
Don't bring me down
Cause there's promise
In the night
