The darkest hour's just before the dawn
The bottom dropped out of my world
My mind's reeling caught in no man's land
Break this deadlock for the life of me right to the end
[Pre-Chorus:]
Wake me, take me
Come ease my pain
Take a stroll down memory lane
Hope for those who remain
[Chorus:]
Undying where we dare
A diamond solitaire
Be and end of all
It is the clarion call
Devoting all
So carry the day
Consumed by passion, words cannot convey
And I'll be waiting in the wings
There is more to this than meets the eye
I live and breathe to brave the storm and kiss the night goodbye
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[2nd Chorus:]
Jewel in the crown
Can't keep a good man down
The force chasing the game
Us restless that we became
A winding lane
For those who break new ground
[Chorus:]
Undying where we dare
A diamond solitaire (solitaire)
Be and end of all (end of all)
It is the clarion call
Devoting all
So carry the day
Jewel in the crown
Can't keep a good man down (good man down)
The force chasing the game (chase the game)
Us restless that we became
A winding lane
For those who break new ground
Undying where we dare (undying where we dare)
A diamond solitaire (a diamond solitaire)
Be and end of all (be and end of all)
It is the clarion call (clarion call)
Undying devotion
Your signals have faded out
You're such a hit and miss
And I can't even get a sound
So face me
And hear me out
Lie together, wide awake
What's the matter now?
You're so un-phased
Locked in your safe place
Let me in
Just let me in
You are not alone
I just have to say
Help me
Cut away
The space between
That we have made
Help me
Find a way
To let me in
And make a place for me
As you fall asleep
I'm taken back to memories
We've had our times
Ups and downs
But we seemed fine
As we lie awake
Laughter and tears we hate
Travel through my mind
And leave me south of sideways
I said we'd be okay
But you hesitate
Is there something you're not telling me?
You're so un-phased
Locked in your safe place
Let me in
Just let me in
You are not alone
I just have to say
Help me
Cut away
The space between
That we have made
Help me
Find a way
To let me in
And make a place for me
You are not alone
I just have to say
Help me
Cut away
The space between
That we have made
Help me
Find a way
To let me in
And make a place for me
i fight every day through rocks pelted in
haunting memories, thoughts scarred by what
was taught ruptured hearts try to unlearn bouts
of despair + the blatant lies, through
years + years of held back tears beauty was
defined, the ugly confined + the mirror reminds
We walk it straight and narrow
We take this path straight to hell
We want a quick solution
We put ourselves inside a pill
Damnation, salvation can't see a difference anyway
We get so medicated that we don't even care
We've got to be put to rest
After we're born to death
You see I just met you
And now I'm trying to forget you
I get so disconnected
I lose my love everyday
I lose it on the street and
Freak out, well and I don't know what to say
I don't know, I don't know what to say
I don't know where to begin
I know I don't belong (out of the law)
We've got to be put to rest
After we're born too death
Gravity makes a sound
Pills mean, so get ill, get infected
No sweat just give us injections
You feel sentimental
Deleted memory nothing special
You see I just met you
And now I'm trying to forget you
Fuck you, I'm temperamental
Self defense is fundamental
We fight to feel alright
We fight to feel alright
We fight to feel alright
We fight to feel alright
We fight to feel alright
We fight to feel alright
We fight to feel alright
We fight to feel alright
We fight to feel, we fight!
The girl could move, and she did.
We were captives on a casino ship.
Where the midwest lay out hours and burnt to crisp.
I spent a year as her hair lip,
but now I fall apart at night and dream about our trip.
But the first two weeks were great,
I felt content to watch the Entertainment Channel fornicate.
With flashes of you maturing into stage,
flawless masterpieces built of dreams I swore were memories.
And I dream, I dream, I dream..
I saw the ocean envelop the sky
And blot out the sun on the day that we died
The former, the latter, and all in between,
They were vanquished by Loki the fiend
Do you remember me, do you remember me?
The one that you loathed when he set you free.
Do you remember me, do you remember me?
The one with whom you fell beneath the sea.
Yeah, we killed it, we killed it all night.
All night.
Yeah, we killed it, we killed it all night.
All night.
Yeah, we killed it, we killed it all night.
All night.
Yeah, we killed it, we killed it all night.
All night.
Yeah, we killed it, we killed it all night.
[Cee-Lo]
I got some bad news this morning
Which in turn made my day
When this someone spoke I listened
All of a sudden, has less and less to say
Ohhhhhh how could this be?
All this time, I've lived vicariously
Who's gonna save my soul now?
Who's gonna save my soul now?
How will my story ever be tollllld now?
How will my story be tollllld now?
Made me feel like somebody
Hmmm, like somebody else
Although he was imitated often
It felt like I was bein myself
Is it a shame that someone else's song
Was totally and completely dependant on
Who's gonna save my soul now?
Who's gonna save my soul now?
I wonder if I'll live to grow old now
Gettin high cause I feel so lowwwww down
And maybe it's a little selfish
All I have is the memory
Yet I never stopped to wonder-ahhhhh
Was it possible you were hurtin worse than me
Still my hunger turns to greeeeed
Cause what about what I neeeeeed?!
And OHHHH~! Who's gonna save my soul now?
Who's gonna save my soul now?
Ohhhh I know I'm out of control now
Oooh-oooh, tired enough to lay my own soul down
Inside the wild roar den
Trought twisted roots of black oak
The torn grass forms some long trails
He dragged a man into that gloomy hole
"Believe me! I dont know why!"
Sometimes he felt so strong
The memories are so weak
A danger steeped in unwittingness
The hell at night but he didnt know why
"Will my God forgive these crimes?"
Im afraid to survive
I just tried to live my life
I let you paint my end, good-bye
No replies and regrets
I deny my own other side
Define my final stage tonight!
He bears no grudge for that
He doesnt know the night
12 hours of light and then emptyness
He dragged a man into that gloomy hole
"Believe me! I dont know why!"
He lashed out at his pray
His real minds covered by
A cruel instinct, he kills!
The hell at night but he didnt know why
"Will my God forgive these crimes?"
Im afraid to survive
I just tried to live my life
I let you paint my end, good-bye
No replies and regrets
I deny my own other side
Define my final stage tonight!
The road I've walked for my whole life
Has brought me to this crossroads
And I'm standing here beside you
I know you've never been someone
To take things on a leap of faith
Please trust me once and never cry again
Hold my had
We can take this slowly
And see where it might lead
Going Into Going Into You
And everything seemed to make sense
The first time that things seemed to fall in place
Just for a little while
And now my hopes and dreams are burning down
Claw out my eyes
I'd rather be blind
Than to see you turn around
And walk away from me
Tear off my ears
I'd rather be deaf
Than hear you
Saying goodbye
Lucky ones will never
Share what we've shared
For I'm damned to know
Exactly just what might have been
Can't somebody stop this?
I feel like I'm drowning
And everywhere I turn the water's deeper
It would tear out my heart
To be nothing more to you
Than a smile that occasionally
Crosses your face
Twenty five years from now
What will we have?
A pile of ash called
What could have been?
Treasures can slip through your fingertips
And sapphires melt in your hands
As I gaze in your jaded eyes
I pray that this road isn't ending
Walking down this road
I thought I felt you hold my hand
But looking I can see my palm is empty
How can you turn from me?
All that I wanted
Was to catch the stars and lay them at your feet
It would tear out my heart
To be nothing more to you
Than a smile that occasionally
Crosses your face
Treasures can slip through your fingertips
And sapphires melt in your hands
You turn to me with your jaded eyes
And I'm scared that I know how this ends
And everything fell into place
But now it is falling apart
I'm trying to hold on
But I can see you fading
Be quick-Or you've missed it
Sometimes when our backs are turned the choice is made
Once-In a lifetime
If you didn't see it coming then you're much too late
This self constructed prison
Is comfortable and warm
But I can't escape the feeling
That-there must be something more
Everyting we've been through
That's made us who we are
Has broughtus here and now the choice is ours to make
I'm begging you
I'm pleading on my knees
I can't believe that this was just a big mistake
From Jeweled Gemstone Memories
To Jaded Guarded Energies
To Just Gentle Victory
I know we could last
Tell me what I've got to do,
Tell me what I've got to do,
To Get Inside Get Inside your heart
Where did we go
When there are no more conspiracies?
When there's only you and only me
Seeing each other for the first time?
I pledge myself
If you stumble I will carry you
And wipe away the tears if you will mine
And I'm holding out for a miracle
But I'm scared to let go of the bird in my hand
And afraid taht I've run out of time for a second chance
I want to drown myself in your eyes
I want to believe but I'm scared that you're lying
Tell me there's hope for the ghost of a second chance
Chances are meant
Meant to be taken
But life's so fragile
And it's breaking into pieces
Somebody help me
I feel like I'm dying
And I'm reaching for your hand
But it's not there
And I pray we won't know
What we're missing
And we'll never imagine
What might have been
But twenty five years from now
I'll still hold on
To a fading dream
Of me and you
Treasures have slipped through my fingertips
And the sapphire vanished from my hand
I'll never forget the look in your eyes
When you lied and said this wasn't ending
Treasures have slipped through my fingrtips a
And the sapphire vanished from my hand
I say goodbye to your jaded eyes
As we reach our unnatural end
stiff shoulders and cracking bones.
leave me to dry in the sun. i don't want to be alone.
but i cannot move. my body has know become frail.
why does it have to be this way.
i'm sick. i'm diseased. i'm dying. i'm dead.
my life once so meaningful and long.
has now turnedshort into these few remaining days.
memories of a lifetime fill my mind.
as i close my eyes one lat time.
i'm sick. i'm diseased. i'm dying. i'm dead.
not so old but i don't forget.
i'm afraid to die. but i'm not dead yet.
please kiss me one last time.
this is the end of my life.

A tribute to the victims of September 11, 2001. Song: "Have You Forgotten" by Darryl Worely
I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start preaching
Let me ask you this my friend
CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it every day
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right
CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And we vowed to get the ones behind Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for
CHORUS 2
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Yes, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
