THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE... (I HOPE...) THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE...
GETTING REAL
WITH WHAT WE FEEL
PLEASE NOTE: if you are easily offended by words commonly considered inappropriate for churches
or children, you may be offended by these pages... unconditional freedom of speech is allowed here J
to say you are my friend
crumbling buildings
still there are walls
keeping you in
keeping me out
crumbling memories
still the past calls
keeping me in
keeping you out
do you know what you're life's about
are you looking at mine
are you a child of love or doubt
victims get in line
everybody's been through the same thing
there's nothing so special about you
so get out of your rut and start
doing the things you say you want to do
cuz nobody will care if you drown in your own self-pity
whether you're lost in the country or buried in the city
everywhere has the same dark places
everywhere has the same blank faces
everywhere has the same dream chasers
everywhere has the same erasers
you can wait, count to a zillion and ten
it doesn't matter... living down on 4th street again
crumbling stories
still there are posts
keeping you scared
keeping you sane
crumbling hopes
still there are ghosts
keeping you crazy
keeping you tame
do you know what you're doing here
what do you want from me
are you a child of love or fear
victims never see
everybody's been through the same thing
there's nothing so righteous about you
so get off your high horse and start
doing the things you say you want to do
cuz nobody will care if you die up on your pedastal
whether you're queen in the country or a king in the city
everywhere has the same dark places
everywhere has the same blank faces
everywhere has the same dream chasers
everywhere has the same erasers
you can scream like a pig stuck in a pen
it doesn't matter... living down on 4th street again
you've got a lot of nerve
to lie straight faced about it
you've got a wasted life
to pretend you can live without it
does anybody care
how do you really know
is anybody there
after you go
crumbling creatures
still there is life
keeping the trust
keeping the faith
crumbling ideals
cut like a knife
keeping the pain
it's not too late
do you know what I'm talking about
in your vacuum soul
are you a child of love or doubt
victims have no control
everybody's been through the same thing
there's nothing so sacred about you
so get off of your cloud and start
doing the things you say you want to do
cuz nobody will care if you dream of some pie in the sky
whether you create heaven or hell in your minds eye
everywhere has the same dark places
everywhere has the same blank faces
everywhere has the same dream chasers
everywhere has the same erasers
you can wait until you die wondering why and how and when
it doesn't matter... living down on 4th street again
have a yen for zen
living down on 4th street again
4th Street Again
