Who Could Be Sane
Mama said sit down, son
There’s something I gotta say
Madness runs in the family
And you can’t run away
Now don’t get discouraged
Cuz here’s the very best part
You won’t be alone in this world
Crazy or sane
you can’t tell them apart
Am I crazy?
Am I crazy?
Who could be sane in this world
Surrounded by madness?
Am I crazy?
Yes, I’m crazy.
What does it really matter
If perception is reality?
So when the sleeper awakes
And you find you’re alone
In a world gone mad
And you wanna go home
Just remember
what mama said
And don’t forget that it’s
all in your head
Am I crazy?
Am I crazy?
Who could be sane in this world
Surrounded by madness?
Am I crazy?
Yes, I’m crazy.
What does it really matter
If perception is reality?
There’s something I gotta say
Madness runs in the family
And you can’t run away
Now don’t get discouraged
Cuz here’s the very best part
You won’t be alone in this world
Crazy or sane
you can’t tell them apart
Am I crazy?
Am I crazy?
Who could be sane in this world
Surrounded by madness?
Am I crazy?
Yes, I’m crazy.
What does it really matter
If perception is reality?
So when the sleeper awakes
And you find you’re alone
In a world gone mad
And you wanna go home
Just remember
what mama said
And don’t forget that it’s
all in your head
Am I crazy?
Am I crazy?
Who could be sane in this world
Surrounded by madness?
Am I crazy?
Yes, I’m crazy.
What does it really matter
If perception is reality?
Out of Place Out of Time
Mama I tried to live just how you taught me
I read the good book from front to back
always more questions than answers
faith left me behind
and now I'm running out of time
out of place, out of time
where will I go
east or west, north or south
or down below
out of place, out of time
where will I go
all I know is that I don't know
it didn't take long to lose the light
it never was a winning fight
right from wrong was out of sight
I didn't care at all
and now I've run out of time
out of place, out of time
where will I go
east or west, north or south
or down below
out of place, out of time
where will I go
all I know is that I don't know
now I lay me down to sleep
this broken soul ain't worth to keep
The lives I took, yet never weep
now the're coming for me
and now I've run out of time
out of place, out of time
where will I go
east or west, north or south
I think you know
out of place, out of time
that's where I'll go
now I know, yes, now I know
I read the good book from front to back
always more questions than answers
faith left me behind
and now I'm running out of time
out of place, out of time
where will I go
east or west, north or south
or down below
out of place, out of time
where will I go
all I know is that I don't know
it didn't take long to lose the light
it never was a winning fight
right from wrong was out of sight
I didn't care at all
and now I've run out of time
out of place, out of time
where will I go
east or west, north or south
or down below
out of place, out of time
where will I go
all I know is that I don't know
now I lay me down to sleep
this broken soul ain't worth to keep
The lives I took, yet never weep
now the're coming for me
and now I've run out of time
out of place, out of time
where will I go
east or west, north or south
I think you know
out of place, out of time
that's where I'll go
now I know, yes, now I know
Is This Life?
Is this life, to live in fear?
To walk with death, always near.
Looking up, a hole in the sky
Yet looking down, waiting to die.
Is this life, a life apart?
That ends so soon, after the start.
Growing ever so close
And Learning to let go
Don’t you ever grow tired of falling down?
Until you never want to get up off the ground.
Sometimes it easy to see the end
When you’ve had enough
Yet when we look around us
We are not alone
To walk with death, always near.
Looking up, a hole in the sky
Yet looking down, waiting to die.
Is this life, a life apart?
That ends so soon, after the start.
Growing ever so close
And Learning to let go
Don’t you ever grow tired of falling down?
Until you never want to get up off the ground.
Sometimes it easy to see the end
When you’ve had enough
Yet when we look around us
We are not alone
Like a Stone
It all went down that summer day
a beautiful sky that turned to gray
so suddenly your life can turn around
no time for any profound thoughts
or final words or time to say “goodbye”
Your heart was racing and your light was fading
embrace the pain and begin the waiting
hoping that your life won't end this way
you closed your eyes to look inside
try to take it all in stride
and welcomed the end
It's not the first time
won't be the last time
you hold the hand of fate
but when your time comes
the beating of the drums
will sound the way back home
as you fall like a stone
Inside your mind a single word
made it all seem so absurd
could it really be this easy to die
so close our eyes and look inside
try to take it all in stride
and wait for the end
It's not the first time
won't be the last time
you hold the hand of fate
but when your time comes
the beating of the drums
will sound the way back home
as you fall like a stone
As you draw your final breath
and open up your arms to death
take the hand that's reaching out to you
then close your eyes and look inside
try to take it all in stride
and know it's the end
It's not the first time
won't be the last time
you hold the hand of fate
but when your time comes
the beating of the drums
will sound the way back home
as you fall like a stone
a beautiful sky that turned to gray
so suddenly your life can turn around
no time for any profound thoughts
or final words or time to say “goodbye”
Your heart was racing and your light was fading
embrace the pain and begin the waiting
hoping that your life won't end this way
you closed your eyes to look inside
try to take it all in stride
and welcomed the end
It's not the first time
won't be the last time
you hold the hand of fate
but when your time comes
the beating of the drums
will sound the way back home
as you fall like a stone
Inside your mind a single word
made it all seem so absurd
could it really be this easy to die
so close our eyes and look inside
try to take it all in stride
and wait for the end
It's not the first time
won't be the last time
you hold the hand of fate
but when your time comes
the beating of the drums
will sound the way back home
as you fall like a stone
As you draw your final breath
and open up your arms to death
take the hand that's reaching out to you
then close your eyes and look inside
try to take it all in stride
and know it's the end
It's not the first time
won't be the last time
you hold the hand of fate
but when your time comes
the beating of the drums
will sound the way back home
as you fall like a stone
The King's Dinghy
Life at sea, wind in your hair
sun shines down, nary a care
in the sky, Fulmar doth fly
watching and waiting
with hungry eyes
just below, bedlam awaits
madness doth flow
through the narrowest strait
Sailing on to the bitter end
bearing down on the figurehead
wearing a crown like an isle of a man
an anchor the heart sinks in the sand
The albatross now hangs at your neck
as you carry the weight of the smoldering wreck
Sailing on to the bitter end
bearing down on the figurehead
wearing a crown, like an isle of a man
an anchor the heart sinks into the sand
heart
sinks
into
the
sand
sun shines down, nary a care
in the sky, Fulmar doth fly
watching and waiting
with hungry eyes
just below, bedlam awaits
madness doth flow
through the narrowest strait
Sailing on to the bitter end
bearing down on the figurehead
wearing a crown like an isle of a man
an anchor the heart sinks in the sand
The albatross now hangs at your neck
as you carry the weight of the smoldering wreck
Sailing on to the bitter end
bearing down on the figurehead
wearing a crown, like an isle of a man
an anchor the heart sinks into the sand
heart
sinks
into
the
sand
Pallor
Yesterday was the last day
that I saw you
standing by the waterside
watching the darkening tide
Your face was cold and empty
unusual pallor
from the typical light
that glowed in your eyes
Had I known
what you were going through
I'd have been there for you
like I was supposed to
now you lay before me
mud in your hair
the sea looks like tears
falling from your eyes
hands that once held mine
now so cold
what caused me to hesitate?
now it's much too late
that I saw you
standing by the waterside
watching the darkening tide
Your face was cold and empty
unusual pallor
from the typical light
that glowed in your eyes
Had I known
what you were going through
I'd have been there for you
like I was supposed to
now you lay before me
mud in your hair
the sea looks like tears
falling from your eyes
hands that once held mine
now so cold
what caused me to hesitate?
now it's much too late
The Hard Way
Took a long time to see the day
Took a long time to learn what's right
Only ever learned everything the hard way
But that's the only way, I ever learned
Falling down, getting up again
That's the way it's always been
Knock me down, lift me up again
Play to lose, hope to win
Took me long enough to ease the pain
Took me long enough to learn to fight
Nothing to lose, but everything to gain
But that's the only way, that I remain
Falling down, getting up again
That's the way it's always been
Knock me down, lift me up again
Playing to lose, hoping to win
Took a long time to learn what's right
Only ever learned everything the hard way
But that's the only way, I ever learned
Falling down, getting up again
That's the way it's always been
Knock me down, lift me up again
Play to lose, hope to win
Took me long enough to ease the pain
Took me long enough to learn to fight
Nothing to lose, but everything to gain
But that's the only way, that I remain
Falling down, getting up again
That's the way it's always been
Knock me down, lift me up again
Playing to lose, hoping to win
