I passed the darkened vaults of
Late doorways as if I were a king
Like this I chain a whisper to my faults
-- Collective Soul
All around me, I see what weakness has made
Too much tomorrow, I think I
-- Collective Soul
Here I slumber to awaken my daze
I find convenience in this savior I save
Am I a prison, am I a source of dire news
Am I a picture perfect reason for you
-- Collective Soul
In this time of substitute
It's my needs I've answered to
All the while
And all the hope that I invest
Turns to signals of distress
All the while
-- Collective Soul
And I don
-- Collective Soul
I just need to learn the depth
Or doubt of faith to fall into
-- Collective Soul
Are these times contagious
I
-- Collective Soul
Is there a cure among us
From this processed sanity
I weaken with each voice that sings
Now, in this world of purchase
I
-- Collective Soul
Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all the kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on.
I drink myself of newfound pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don
-- Collective Soul
Are we listening to hyms of offering?
Have we eyes to see that love is gathering?
All the words that I
-- Collective Soul
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below.
And I laugh at myself
As the years roll down.
'cause it's the world I know.
It's the world I know.
-- Collective Soul
Why drink the water from my hand?
Contagious as you think I am
Just tilt my sun towards your domain.
Your cup runneth over again.
-- Collective Soul
Why follow me to higher ground?
Lost as you swear I am.
Don't throw away your basic needs,
Ambiance and vanity.
-- Collective Soul
Now, I've taken the side
Of a beautiful calm
Can you see this disguise
Fading to a resolve
-- Collective Soul
And there it goes, my innocence
While gathering up a compliment
And here I lie with words to swear
There's something more than the world out there
The world out there
-- Collective Soul
And hesitation compounds
I've nothing left to sustain
My worries here have allowed
A momentary refrain
-- Collective Soul
Took a walk to a caution scene
I guess I crossed the line somehow
And if I lost some of your hope
I'm sorry for the folly was all mine
-- Collective Soul
And I don't ever really understand
All the things that we say, but I try to anyway, anyhow
For what's in a day of a dandy life
For what's in a day of this dandy life
Everything, everything, everything
-- Collective Soul
Hey
You give me no choice
I entertain by the silence
That you created by noise
-- Collective Soul
I can't convey, I can't relate
To the thoughts you now generate
I can't contain, I can't explain
All the words you now generate
-- Collective Soul
Hey
I swallowed your pride
To gather up confrontation
That you have so long denied
-- Collective Soul
Complicate this world you wrapped for me
I'm acquainted with your suffering
-- Collective Soul
And all your weight, it falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight, it falls on me
It falls on me
-- Collective Soul
Hold me up to those whom you decieved
Promises you break, you still believe
-- Collective Soul
Here I lie motionless
Catch me if you can
My properties of no defense
So, strike at your command
-- Collective Soul
But, don't bring me down
All right
Don't bring me down
Cause there's purpose
For this night
-- Collective Soul
Save me come tomorrow
Lead me to my urgency
See I'm no more no less
Of an angel
Than you'd have me be
So let's shake it like this
-- Collective Soul
Steady here I cast my lines
Only to expose
A weaker sense and
No constraint
Now my true self shows
-- Collective Soul
Mornings like this make me feel
Like I never could float
Glimpses of peace portray
All that you never could show
-- Collective Soul
I'm not weakened by the fears
That you have applied
See, I'm now learning in these walls
That I've been supplied
-- Collective Soul
Clothed in new costumes
That weather your newfound storms
Staring through reason
Content with your newfound d
-- Collective Soul
Slow down
Slow down, boy
Slow down to control
Slow down, slow
-- Collective Soul
The hour has begun
Your eyes have now opened
-- Collective Soul
To a world where madness craves
To a world where hope's enslaved
Oh, I'll tremble for my love always
-- Collective Soul
Your windows, opened wide
Your innocence takes flight
-- Collective Soul
Who's gonna be my savior
Now that I've learned to believe
Who's gonna be the answer
To all of my questioning
-- Collective Soul
Well, I hope I
-- Collective Soul
Who's gonna wear my crown
Who's gonna wear my crown
I don't know
I just might, alone
-- Collective Soul
And who's gonna be my partner
Now that I stand here alone
Who's gonna be the shepherd
To lead this poor boy back home
-- Collective Soul
Take all my world and shake it
Take my dear heart and embrace it
Take what I say and listen
My world's changing, changing for you.
