Double Edge
*with thanks to Waylon Jennings for the lyrical lines, though he probably had a very different meaning in mind

looking for love in all the wrong places
looking for friends in words without faces
hoping to find
compatible minds
don't want to believe I'm wasting my time

looking for love in internet spaces
looking for friends with dreams my heart chases
wishing for more
knocks on the door
believing this is what I am living for

to share and inspire
to kindle desire
to walk through the fire
and take us all higher

to open the eyes
of the fools to the wise
to see the surprise
is not in the skies

heaven is what you make of your life
when you fill it with love
hell is what you make of your life
when you deny your heart
god is your excuse to give up
on the dreams you dream of
waiting for the next life
when will this one start?

it all starts out so innocent
like a moth attracts a flame
as children grow we add on rules
it becomes a game
and then fear replaces love
and brings with it shame
and we look to the heavens
for someone to blame

looking for light in the darkest of places
looking for hope in the words without faces
hoping to see
you all smiling at me
don't want to believe this is just fantasy

looking for peace and some real understanding
looking for faith without all the demanding
wishing for you
to feel it all too
believing in trusting the things we do

to share and inspire
to kindle desire
to walk through the fire
and take us all higher

to open the eyes
of the fools to the wise
to see the surprise
is not in the skies

heaven is what you make of your life
when you fill it with love
hell is what you make of your life
when you deny your heart
money is not the answer to the
life your heart dreams of
waiting to retire to live
when will this life start?

but I say too much
just take the soft tissue
the tender emotions
no controversy
for I think too much
within rhyme and reason
there's no grand design
to my philosophy

am I looking for love in all the wrong places?
looking for friends in words without faces
hoping to find
compatible minds
don't want to believe I'm wasting my time

looking for love in internal spaces
looking for friends with dreams my heart chases
wishing for more
knocks on the door
believing this is what I am living for

to share and inspire
to kindle desire
to walk through the fire
and take us all higher

to open the eyes
of the fools to the wise
to see the surprise
is not in the skies

heaven is what you make of your life
when you share all your love
hell is what you make of your life
when you deny your heart
fear is the enemy you have to overcome
to find the dreams you dream of
what good is waiting for tomorrow
when you know tomorrow never comes

it all starts out so innocent
like a moth attracts a flame
as children grow we add on rules
it becomes a game
and then fear replaces love
and brings with it shame
and we look to the heavens
for someone to blame

so don't talk to me of god
if you've turned your life into shit
and if your heaven is elsewhere
then I want no part of it
don't tell me what is right
if you don't know what is wrong
talk to me if you can see
this is a love song

looking for love... real love... true love
not somewhere above... here and now do love
looking for love... feel love... true love
if you can't touch it then you can't call it love

the body is a tool
what you do is who you are
it's a simple truth
but many never get that far
knowing is scary
it's responsibility
most people shirk that well
with drugs or diety

the body is a tool
how well do you dare use it?
do you give it all it needs
or do you abuse it?
when it asks for your hand
do you ignore or refuse it?
when it wants to turn on
do you just try to confuse it

can you touch yourself
or are you afraid of that too?
can you trust yourself
to do what you want to do?
can you give yourself
without strings or other's rules?
can you live your life
wise among the fools?

(you can't tell them you know
cuz that is just not cool
and they might crucify you
or treat you like a stool
sit on your dreams
toss you into a pool
cuz they are afraid
that's what they learn in school
they are afaid
of using their own tool)

it all starts out so innocent
like a moth attracts a flame
as children grow we add on rules
it becomes a game
and then fear replaces love
and brings with it shame
and we look to the heavens
for someone to blame

 looking for love...
 looking for love...
 looking for love...
 looking for love...
