1.Vox
In the desert of my dreams I saw you there
And I'm walking towards the water steaming body cold and bare
But your words cut loose the fire and you left my soul to bleed
And the pain that's in your truth's deceiving me, has got me
scared
Oh why, oh why?
Oh why, oh why? ooh ...
Through your eyes the strains of battle like a brooding storm
Your up and down these pristine velvet walls like focus never
forms
My walls are getting wider and my eyes are drawn astray
I see you now a vague deception of a dying day
Oh why?
Oh why? ooh ...aah ...
I fall into the water and once more I turn to you
And the crowds were standing staring faceless cutting off my
view to you
They start to limply flail their bodies in a twisted mime
And I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I'm lain entwined
You're gone and I'm lost inside this tangled web in which I'm
lain entwined
Oh why?
Oh why? ooh ...aah ...
2.Steaming
You're always waiting on the tide
It's time you decide
I've walked down long roads that seem to have no end at all
You never wanted time to end
To let my life offend
It's time to realize what hides deep inside your holy eyes
Hold on tight, hold on fast
This ain't the kind that always lasts
If you want me to go just ask me to go, I'll go
All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you
Run away my love, over the hills and right on through you
Over the hills and right on through you
Lying awake in these restless dreams
Life's never what it seems
I've always tried to read your eyes
To get inside that scornful mind
Hold on tight, hold on fast
This ain't the kind that always lasts
If you want me to go just ask me to go, I'll go
All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you
Run away my love, over the hills and right on through you
I was with you on that pallet steaming
Spinning 'round in circles dreaming
I was with you on that pallet steaming
Running 'round in circles screaming...
All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you...
Run away my love, over the hills and right on through
All the way my love, over the hills and right on through you...
Run away my love, over the hills and right on through
3.Ben's Song
Lyricist:Sarah McLachlan
Writer(s):Sarah McLachlan
On the hills of fire the darkest hour
I was dreaming of my true loves pyre
Who will bring a light to stoke the fire
Fear not for your still breathing
On a windless day
I saw the life blood drained away
A cold wind blows on a windless day
Hear the cry for new life the mournings flame
You were the brightest light that burned to soon in vain
Who will bring you back from where there's no return
Fear not for you just dreaming
On a winters day
I saw the life blood drained away
A cold wind blows on a windless day
On a winters day
On a winters day
4.The Path Of Thorns (Terms)
I knew you wanted to tell me
In your voice there was something wrong
But if you would turn your face away from me
You cannot tell me you're so strong
Just let me ask of you one small thing
As we have shared so many tears
With fervor our dreams we planned a whole life long
Now are scattered on the wind...
In the terms of endearment
In the terms of the life that you love
In the terms of the years that pass you by
In the terms of the reasons why
Through the years I've grown to love you
Though your commitment to most would offend
But I stuck by you holding on with my foolish pride
Waiting for you to give in...
You never really tried or so it seems
I've had more than myself to blame
I've had enough of trying everything
And this time it is the end...
In the terms of endearment
In the terms of the life that you love
In the terms of the years that pass you by
In the terms of the reasons why
There's no more coming back this way
The path is overgrown and strewn with thorns
They've torn the life-blood from your naked eyes
Cast aside to be forlorn...
In the terms of endearment
In the terms of the life that you love
In the terms of the years that pass you by
In the terms of the reasons why
In the terms of endearment
In the terms of the life that you love
In the terms of the years that pass you by
In the terms of the reasons why
Funny, how it seems that all I've tried to do
Seemed to make no difference to you at all...
5.Into The Fire
Mother teach me to walk again
Milk and honey, so intoxicating
I'm reunited
Into the fire
I am the spark
Into the night
I yearn for comfort
Open the doors that lead on into Eden
Don't want no cheap disguise
I follow the signs marked 'back to the beginning'
No more compromise
And into the fire
I'm reunited
Into the fire
I am the spark
Into the night
I yearn for comfort
Free the water that carries me to the sea
You, I see as my security
And into the fire
I'm reunited
Into the fire
I am the spark
Into the night
I yearn for comfort
I will stare at the sun until its light doesn't blind me
I will walk into the fire 'til its heat doesn't burn me
And I will feed the fire
Into the fire
I'm reunited
Into the fire
I am the spark
Into the night
I yearn for comfort
Into the night, Into the fire
Into the fire
I'm reunited
Into the fire
Oh, I am the spark
Into the night
I yearn for comfort
Into the fire, Into the fire
into the fire
I'm reunited
Into the fire
I am the spark fade
6.Drawn To The Rhythm
When we wore a heart of stone, we wandered to the sea
Hoping to find some comfort there, yearning to feel free
And we were mesmerized by the lull of the night
And the smells that filled the air
And we layed us down on sandy ground. It was cold, but we didn't
care
Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
We fell asleep and began to dream when something broke the night
Memories stirred inside of us - the struggle and the fight
And we could feel the heat of a thousand voices
Telling us which way to go
And we cried out 'Is there no escape from the words that plague
me so?'
And we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we were drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
In the still and the silent dawn another day is born
Washed up by the tireless waves, the body bent and torn
In the face of the blinding sun, you wake only to find
That heaven is a stranger place than what I've left behind
And we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
And we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
Yes, we are drawn to the rhythm
Drawn into the rhythm of the sea
7.Mercy
Mercy - pure and simple
Longing - cold and hollow
With sweet breath you'd come to warm me
But I held on too hard to only a memory
You lie there on the swollen ground
Deserted in your heart
Still longing for what yesterdays lost
And for all that tomorrow might bring
The passion lost - taken, stolen
The dreams we had and we shared - shattered, broken
With kind words you'd come to soothe me
But I go blind and filled with fear
Would send you away from me
There is no hope in regretting now
All the pain that we could not see
We both knew what we wanted
And we took it believing it free
And we took it believing it free
8.Possession
Lyricist:Sarah McLachlan
Writer(s):Sarah McLachlan
Listen as the wind blows
From across the great divide
Voices trapped in yearning
Memories trapped in time
The night is my companion
And solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here
And not be satisfied
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
Through this world I've stumbled
So many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word
To find the truth enslaved
Oh you speak to me in riddles and
You speak to me in rhymes
My body aches to breathe your breath
You words keep me alive
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
Into this night I wander
It's morning that I dread
Another day of knowing of
The path I fear to tread
Oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
Nothing stands between us here
And I won't be denied
And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear
I hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I'll take your breath away
And after I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes
9.Hold On
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
for this is gonna hurt like hell
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
You know that only time will tell
What is it in me that refuses to believe
This isn't easier than the real thing
My love
You know that you're my best friend
You know I'd do anything for you
My love
Let nothing come between us
My love for you is strong and true
Am I in heaven here or am I...
At the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
See another day and we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face
Oh God if you're out there won't you hear me
I know that we've never talked before
Oh God the man I love is leaving
Won't you take him when he comes to your door
Am I in heaven here or am I in hell
At the crossroads I am standing
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
See another day and we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
So now you're sleeping peaceful
I lie awake and pray
That you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
See another day and we will praise it
And love the light that brings a smile
Across your face
Hold on
Hold on to yourself
For this is gonna hurt like hell
10.Good Enough
Hey your glass is empty
it's a hell of a long way home
why don't you let me take you
it's no good to go alone
I never would have opened up
but you seemed so real to me
after all the bullshit I've heard
it's refreshing now to see
I don't have to pretend
she doesn't expect it from me
Don't tell me I haven't been good to you
Don't tell me I have never been there for you
Don't tell me why nothing is good enough
Hey little girl would you like some candy
your momma said that it's OK
The door is open come on outside
no I can't come out today
it's not the wind that cracked your shoulder
and threw you to the ground
who's there that makes you so afraid
you're shaken to the bone
and I don't understand
you deserve so much more than this
So don't tell me why
he's never been good to you
don't tell me why
he's never been there for you
don't you know that why
is simply not good enough
so just let me try
and I will be good to you
just let me try
and I will be there for you
I'll show you why
you're so much more than good enough
So don't tell me why
he's never been good to you
don't tell me why
he's never been there for you
don't you know that why
is simply not good enough
so just let me try
and I will be good to you
just let me try
and I will be there for you
I'll show you why
you're so much more than good enough
11.Ice Cream
Your love is better than ice cream
better than anything else that I've tried
and your love is better than ice cream
but everyone here knows how to fight
and it's a long way down
it's a long way down
it's a long way down to the place
where we started from
Your love is better than chocolate
better than anything else that I've tried
Oh love is better than chocolate
everyone here knows how to cry
And it's a long way down
it's a long way down
it's a long way down to the place
where we started from
Du du du...
12.Fumbling Towards Ecstasy
Lyricist:Sarah McLachlan
Writer(s):Sarah McLachlan
All the fear has left me now
I'm not frightened anymore
It's my heart that pounds beneath my flesh
It's my mouth that pushes out this breath
And if I shed a tear, I won't cage it
I won't fear love
And if I feel a rage, I won't deny it
I won't fear love
Companion to our demons
They will dance and we will play
With chairs, candles, and clothes
Making darkness in the day
It will be easy
To look in or out
Upstream or down
Without a thought
And if I shed a tear, I won't cage it
I won't fear love
And if I feel a rage I won't deny it
I won't fear love
Peace
In the struggle to find peace
Comfort
On the way to comfort
And if I shed a tear, I won't cage it
I won't fear love
And if I feel a rage, I won't deny it
I won't fear love
I won't fear love
I won't fear love
And if I shed a tear, I won't cage it
I won't fear love
And if I feel a rage, I won't deny it
I won't fear love
I won't fear love
I won't fear love
And if I shed a tear, I won't cage it
I won't fear love
13.Building A Mystery
You come out at night
That's when the energy comes
And the dark side's light
And the vampires roam
You strut your rasta wear
And your suicide poem
And a cross from a faith that died
Before Jesus came
You're building a mystery
You live in a church
Where you sleep with voodoo dolls
And you won't give up the search
For the ghosts in the halls
You wear sandals in the snow
And a smile that won't wash away
Can you look out the window
Without your shadow getting in the way?
You're so beautiful
With an edge and charm
but so careful
When I'm in your arms
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You woke up screaming aloud
A prayer from your secret god
You feed off our fears
And hold back your tears, oh
Give us a tantrum
And a know it all grin
Just when we need one
When the evening's thin
You're a beautiful
A beautiful fucked up man
You're setting up your
Razor wire shrine
Cause you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Ooh you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
Holding on and holding it in
Yeah you're working
Building a mystery
And choosing so carefully
You're building a mystery
14.Sweet Surrender
It doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I've left behind me
is a cold room
I've crossed the last line
from where I can't return
where every step I took in faith
betrayed me
and led me from my home
And sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
You take me in
no questions asked
you strip away the ugliness
that surrounds me
(who are you?)
are you an angel?
am I already that gone?
I only hope
that I won't disappoint you
when I'm down here
on my knees
(who are you?)
And sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
(who are you?)
sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
And I don't understand
by the touch of your hand
I would be the one to fall
I miss the little things
I miss everything about you
It doesn't mean much
it doesn't mean anything at all
the life I left behind me
is a cold room
(who are you?)
And sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
(who are you?)
And sweet surrender
is all that I have to give
15.Adia
Adia I do believe I've failed you
Adia I know I've let you down
don't you know I tried so hard
to love you in my way
it's easy let it go...
Adia I'm empty since you left me
trying to find a way to carry on
I search myself and everyone
to see where we went wrong
there's no one left to finger
there's no one here to blame
there's no one left to talk to, honey
and there ain't no one to buy our innocence
'cause we are born innocent
believe me Adia, we are still innocent
it's easy, we all falter
but does it matter?
Adia I thought that we could make it
I know I can't change the way you feel
I leave you with your misery
a friend who won't betray
pull you from your tower
take away your pain
show you all the beauty you possess
if you'd only let yourself believe
that we are born innocent
believe me Adia, we are still innocent
it's easy, we all falter,
but does it matter?
'cause we are born innocent
believe me Adia
we are still innocent
it's easy, we all falter,
but does it matter?
believe me Adia
we are still innocent
'cause we are born innocent
believe me Adia
we are still innocent
it's easy, we all falter,
but does it matter?
16.Angel
Lyrics:Sarah Mclachlan
Music:Sarah Mclachlan
Spend all your time waiting,
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason,
To feel not good enough,
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction,
Oh beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
And may be empty,
Oh and weightless and maybe,
I'll find some peace tonight
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are brung from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie
In the arms of the angel,
May you find, some comefort here
So tired of the straight line,
But everywhere you turn,
There's vultures and theives at your back
The storm keeps on twistin'
Keep on building the lies,
That you make up for all that you lack
It don't make no difference,
Escape one last time,
It's easier, to belive
In this sweet madness,
Oh, this glorious sadness,
That bring me to my knees
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark, cold hotel room,
And the endlessness that you fear
You are brung from the wreckage,
Of your silent reverie
In the arms of the angel,
May you find, some comfort here
In the arms of the angel,
May you find, some comfort here
17.I Will Remember You
I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so tired but I can't sleep
Standin' on the edge of something much too deep
It's funny how we feel so much but we cannot say a word
We are screaming inside, but we can't be heard
But I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
I'm so afraid to love you, but more afraid to loose
Clinging to a past that doesn't let me choose
Once there was a darkness, deep and endless night
You gave me everything you had, oh you gave me light
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
And I will remember you
Will you remember me?
Don't let your life pass you by
Weep not for the memories
18.Fallen
Heaven bent to take my hand
And lead me through the fire
Be the long awaited answer
To a long and painful fight
Truth be told I've tried my best
But somewhere along the way
I got caught up in all there was to offer
And the cost was so much more than I could bear
Though I've tried, I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so
We all begin with good intent
Love was raw and young
We believed that we could change ourselves
The past could be undone
But we carry on our backs the burden
Time always reveals
The lonely light of morning
The wound that would not heal
It's the bitter taste of losing everything
That I have held so dear.
I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so
Heaven bent to take my hand
Nowhere left to turn
I'm lost to those I thought were friends
To everyone I know
Oh they turned their heads embarrassed
Pretend that they don't see
But it's one missed step
You'll slip before you know it
And there doesn't seem a way to be redeemed
Though I've tried, I've fallen
I have sunk so low
I have messed up
Better I should know
So don't come round here
And tell me I told you so
I have messed up
Better I should know
But don't come round here
And tell me I told you so
19.Stupid
Night lift up the shades
Let in the brilliant light of morning
But steady there now
For I am weak and starving for mercy
Sleep has left me alone
To carry the weight of unravelling where we went wrong
It's all I can do to hang on
To keep me from falling
Into old familiar shoes
How stupid could I be
A simpleton can see
That you're no good for me
But you're the only one I see
Love has made me a fool
It set me on fire and watched as I floundered
Unable to speak
Except to cry out and wait for your answer
But you come around in your time
Speaking of fabulous places
Create an oasis
Dries up as soon as you're gone
You leave me here burning
In this desert without you
How stupid could I be
A simpleton can see
That you're no good for me
But you're the only one I see
Everything changes
Everything falls apart
Can't stop to feel myself losing control
But deep in my senses I know
How stupid could I be
A simpleton can see
That you're no good for me
But you're the only one I see
How stupid could I be
A simpleton can see
That you're no good for me
But you're the only one I see
20.World On Fire
Hearts are worn in these dark ages
You're not alone in this story's pages
Night has fallen amongst the living and the dying
And I try to hold it in, yeah I try to hold it in
The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I dive into the water
I try to pull my ship
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able
I watch the heavens and I find a calling
Something I can do to change this moment
Stay close to me while the sky is falling
Don't wanna be left alone, don't wanna be alone
The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I dive into the water
I try to pull my ship
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able
Hearts break, hearts mend love still hurts
Visions clash, planes crash
Still there's talk of saving souls,
still the cold is closing in on us
We part the veil on Archille's sun
Stray from the straight line on this short run
The more we take, the less we become
A fortune of one that means less for some
The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I dive into the water
I try to pull my ship
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able
The world's on fire and
It's more than I can handle
I dive into the water
I try to pull my ship
I try to bring more
More than I can handle
Bring it to the table
Bring what I am able
21.Push
Every time I look at you the world just melts away
All my troubles all my fears dissolve in your affection
You've seen me at my weakest but you take me as I am
And when I fall you offer me a softer place to land
You stay the course you hold the line you keep it all together
You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
You're all the things that I desire you save me you complete me
You're the one true thing I know I can believe
I get mad so easy but you give me room to breathe
No matter what I say or do 'cause you're too good to fight about
it
Even when I have to push just to see how far you'll go
You won't stoop down to battle but you never turn to go
You stay the course you hold the line you keep it all together
You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
You're all the things that I desire you save me you complete me
You're the one true thing I know I can believe
Love is just the antidote when nothing else can cure me
There are times I can't decide when I can't tell up from down
You make me feel less crazy when otherwise I'd drown
But you pick me up and brush me off and tell me I'm okay
Sometimes that's just what we need to get us through the day
You stay the course you hold the line you keep it all together
You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
You're all the things that I desire you save me you complete me
You're the one true thing I know I can believe
You stay the course you hold the line you keep it all together
You're the one true thing I know I can believe in
22.Don't Give Up On Us
Love has taken me for a fool
Gotten out in time to save himself mmmm
shoulda known better
but I let things slide
I took you for granted
that you'd always be
the one for me
baby I stopped tryin'
ooooh baby don't give up on us
I know your heart is full of doubt
you don't need to be without
these loving arms
we'll hold you thru your darkest hour
I'll be using all my power
so I can reach you
oh my love, don't give up on us
I've been living alone here
or have I turned to dust?
it hurts it hurts to wait for just a little love
you must
give me a sign love
can't you see me standing here
alive and well with all the hope
you'll be
the one for me
baby I'll keep trying
ooooh baby don't give up on us
I know your heart is full of doubt
you don't need to be without
these loving arms
old you through your darkest hour
I'll be using all my power
so I can reach you
oh my love, don't give up on us ...
maybe the way out is here
it went where it all begins
we can't go on
living on a cloud
we'll never find our way home
let me reach you
oh my love
come on let me in
ooooh let me hold you
oh my love
don't give up on us ...
ooooooh let me reach you
oh my love
come on let me in ...
oh let me hold you
oh my love
don't give up on us
23.U Want Me 2
You walk on by
Clueless and so high
Following your aimless
Path away from us
You're so far away
And what can I say
Cause I can't be the one
You wanted me to be
So tell me
How do you feel
It's so confusing
If you let it all go
It'll fall apart
Do you want me to stay
And say I still want you
U want me 2, don't you?
So what are we saying
Our eden's a failure
A made-up story
To fit
The picture-perfect world
The one with I do's
And I love you
And we are made
For each other
Is forever over now?
And tell me
How do you feel
It's so confusing
If you let it all go
It'll fall apart
Do you want me to stay
And say I still want you
U want me 2, don't you?
I hope there's forgiveness
In the distance between us
Can we make what lies
Ahead of us
A better place to be?
So tell me
How do you feel
It's so confusing
If you let it all go
It'll fall
Do you want me to stay
And say
I still want you
You want me too
Don't you?
