I’ve waited long to find you here Yearning for stories untold My clock is ticking loud and clear Is it the time to unfold? Night has arrived and there’s voices Appearing behind the veneer Alone I stand in the places that hold all the things that I fear Why don’t you hear? A longing strikes you in the cold Luminent spirits appear Three golden visions in the dark Chasing elusive frontiers Now dawn unfolds as these futureless dreams have been leading me here My sentence’s served Though illusions cross over from places I fear I know the truth I bear the fruit You’ve waited long These days we’ve waited long enough to try and find it The meaning of her words there’s nothing real behind it Here I stand alone in my Darkened dreary room The place she sits it has been made to be abandoned And though the spelling of her words a web’s been weaved Into a darkness as it seems Only then her lies complete The shunning of a girl with power in her fingers A sparkle of the magic laced among the stars that shadows try to falsify In her world, they misbehave Here in the night Open your eyes It’s out in plain sight All that you seek is to blame The answer’s in losing your name And the doors shall open up to you
2.
Days of this kind When I seek peace of mind Hoping to find it another way Dreams pass me by and as hard as I try This feeling won’t leave me alone today Now you’ve waited long enough These days you’ve been feeling rough If it’s true you feel inclined Leave your sorrows far behind Now here you stand With a rose in your hand Bearing thorns more than flowers There’s hell to pay My heart is true And it’s waited for you Do we live in a world worth believing in? Spells you cast will leave today In reflections of your ways Blue eyes wander Truth is blind Won’t you wait to speak your mind? You don't understand The image in my hand I will never be what you'd like to see me to be Reflections of tales to come And as I shall not see Things you chose to be You and I are images of the same age my friend Here come the signs of the end
3.
Now you're wondering what the truth is (of this place) And all you see are the reflections (of an age) It’s like you’ve been to this place before (o yea) Apparitions they’re at your door You only open to find out You’re a fool I’ve been here a 1000 times (oh yes I've really been here) Just living the same old lie (living the same old lie) I’ve been here a 1000 times Knocking on the door (You better open the door) Just an innocent sighting of a writing (in your face) Is enough to leave you lost and wanting (to escape) And once you’ve tried all the things you said (o yea) You reside in your weary head And when you finally find it You must chose I’ve been here a 1000 times (Oh yes I've really been here) Same story but different life (and my name is Dorie) I’ve been here a 1000 times Waiting at the door Wamego, where we go, wamego Where do we go Wamego, where we go, wamego Where did we go wrong? Wamego, where we go, wamego Where do we go Wamego, where we go, wamego Where did you go wrong? Everyone is my enemy Everyone is my enemy Everyone is my enemy Everyone lives inside of me Everyone is my enemy Everyone walks all over me Everyone is my enemy Everyone tries to hurt me Everyone is my enemy Everyone has betrayed me Everyone is my enemy Everyone is my enemy

Child, your moment's come It's all I have tried to be Is what you won't see As the morning comes your wishing well has emptied you've been tempted to sacrifice all the truth in your eyes so I have been quested to reach your demise won't realize your illusions are tied bound in a mere filament taste what is right Lies are all you know in all your hypnotizing I'm enlightening none of this is real and all you feel are but mere darkened secrets you've made a deal for the dreams you believe left in these illusions you're rolling the dice face all the facts, all you do is react your Castle is crumbling Face shall be next Eyes they can see where the image has freed Raise notions of spirited vibrance in me Time is the price for a heart made of ice I like to get even for things that aren't right (somebody call 911, she shot those guys over there it's an emergency, it's an emergency) Getting even, be it so You believe them, this I know Taste my vengeance Pour it in the depths of your dark soul

Declares the lord so that refuting the tongue that rises against you in judgment shall go unharmed? No, no, for the righteous must rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked For it is him to avenge, it is him to repay, and my words make it so For my authority is grand, my plan is to make them pay, my plan is getting even! God’s servants, agents of wrath, bring pure cold hearted punishment on these wrongdoers! Make them pay and make it last! It's time for payback baby Go cry your heart out baby Poor thing you Never saw it coming You've spent time Laughing away Sad thing you Thought you were protected Run but you Can't get away Great day to See your kind is falling How does that medicine taste? Banish you To the place you've come from Seal it up Call it a day

I’ve seen you more than a thousand times Your guise deceives even my kind It’s plain to see you don’t stand for much Your words are nothing I’d get behind My head’s in the sand And I’ll run till the end Well, Maybe tomorrow You like to deceive all your friends who believe you Maybe Tomorrow The Jasmine will bloom Maybe Tomorrow My ole dreams will resume I tried to make it all disappear Turning to places away from here Reflections of a new age arrive Delusions cast from the darkest eyes Flowers won’t grow In a mind left suspended Maybe tomorrow Rumors and fears Only yesterday’s problems Watch as the new day Starts to draw near Maybe tomorrow Is finally here And while you’ve waited to find it You’ve uncovered the magic A fickle lie Won’t descend on your mind for long Those days are gone And all the dreams you’ve abandoned Stare in your face and command it A wiser heart, a foresight that won’t leave you A desperate song, as your eyes don’t believe you You’ve waited long Now that you’ve found their whole world’s a lie You won’t be seeing me here for long Cause all they lack is to realize The old perspectives won’t satisfy Face the season You're the reason Find the others They're your brothers Face your fathers They're the others Try your hardest There's no other Reap your sowing While it's growing Stop your waiting And frustrating Here's tomorrow End your sorrow Find your aching Take and break it Don't spend waiting

Daddy please, won’t you please Buy me a plutonium bomb? Listen please, wanna see her burning down just for fun Daddy please, nothing’s gonna matter till I see her bleed Listen please, carnage and destruction know it’s all I need Daddy please won’t you buy me a plutonium bomb ‘Cause I hate her face and I don’t wanna see her around Daddy please won’t you buy me A plutonium bomb You have taught me honesty, now I’m standing here in my truth Father please, Give me all the weapons to eradicate Hear me please, can’t cha see I need a little damage and hate Poppa Please, I can make the world such a beautiful place Isotopes, nuclear reactions, let’s go crush her face Everyone’s an enemy Know she is my nemesis, hear me now Purposeless existence, I wanna see her burned to the ground Oh daddy, why don’t you buy me the deadliest bomb? We can put an end to the world’s sick and ugliest flaw (I won’t do it) (Drop the bomb) (don’t do it) Please, daddy please Can’t you hear me crying? I’d be the one doing the dying Daddy please

Red Flowers 03:36
As she's waiting by the telephone She hopes to just erase All the days where she was all alone A girl out of her place Mixed up and misunderstood Led a life fast-paced Mother never held her hand Her world was such a waste Child I won't leave you alone in the night Unless you've cried Child I won't leave you behind in the cold Worlds collide She wears red flowers Passing the hours Chasing gold towers Losing, my only child I will be by your side till the end It is near Child, I shall feed you until you are round Open wide I'm still trying She's still crying She wears red flowers Don't lie, you coward This age, devours Losing, my only child Should you ever try to disobey Be afraid Child, should you ever run to me from fear Disappear
10.
here I am waiting churning pulsating yearning to know the truth all that I am and will ever be is your only girl to see and now I finally have reflected perspective to be the one that you see and oh, you've been there all along I see your perfection in my reaction hear your voice in a song merging with fire all my desire brings us where we belong and as I'm yearning to be reflected perspective affection is all I feel for you it's always been just you and me turning to what we're born of in space outgrowing its endless plea every emotion feels like an ocean sway in my arms for me and as I'm hoping to be reflected perspective for you a girl that will grow to be what you'll see the only one for you dreams of fire we've always had we're kicking and we're running yeah we're kicking and we're running away dreams of fire we've always had we're kicking and we're running yeah we're kicking and we're running away won't get tired we'll always dance we're dreaming of a different way we're dreaming of our future days won't get tired we'll always dance we're dreaming of a different way we're dreaming of our future days dreams of fire we've always had we're kicking and we're running yeah we're kicking and we're running away dreams of fire we've always had we're kicking and we're running yeah we're kicking and we're running away
