Words Waiting for Music - One 2003

but what about him?
can't look after everyone
can't take care of everything
can't save the whole world all the time
truth is more can happen playing a part
roped, harnessed to collaborate

but what about them?
can't look after everyone
can't take care of everything
can't save my own skin half the time
can't even keep a lid on the stuff that's only mine
acknowledge need you to be kind

but what about her?
can't look after everyone
can't take care of everything
can't save her from the pain she's going to feel
can't comfort much with knives of stainless steel
can't pretend I'm not responsible nor that the blood's not real

dreaming dreams
can make you mad
in everyone's eyes
including your own
whatever happens
dare to dream
if need be look on alone
don't let vanity restrain
don't deny the pictures seen
don't let insanity constrain

now is the time
opposite and equal
trying to believe
prices are paid
qualming the fear
of what might lie ahead

now is the time
work to do
things to say
trying to believe
there is a different way
whatever, now is the time
for sunshine and hay

now is the time
see the edge
hear the sea
smell the fire, taste the blood
eggshell cracks open
who'll stay to clean up
when it's all over and done?

have you been looking down those other roads?
exploring what if scenarios?
playing russian roulette inside my head?
imagining alternatives instead?

I guess we had to work this through
so progress could be made
crossroads are facing you
all routes hold shadows, sun and shade

I know what's going on
understand the lyrics to this song
I know you know I know
fears and tears leave stains behind
while we unravel, disconnect, rewind

experience claims tides ebb and flow
experience remains when things come and go
experience reminds bad times will pass
experience bows to critical mass

experience suggests you will go away
experience advises imagine you will stay
