When did I begin to hate this life?
In a world where pain means sacrifice....
As two towers burn the world cries war again
They'll sacrifice lives not theirs to choose what to do with
And tell me that life is over now
With red, blue, and purple rosemary blood on the ground
Tell me you're right....wrong when right is wronging you now
The world forgets as life lay shattered on the ground....
Just like the knife that cuts a mother's womb
The pain of a loss....a child not in bloom
A fire surrounds the pain of her baby lost
It cuts like a knife.....the burning of this cross
"Shattered"- Paying Tuition
Take me as i am tonight
Take the world and make it right
Cause everything in life was all for you
Take the love of another day
Burn it out, this sweet life no I can't complain
I'm feelin fine
And everything in life was all for you
Feel the loss of another day
When the world's comin round as I disobey
To the love that you had still scattered around
With the pain that you bring draggin me on down
When you see that life is fallin and the and the world survives
When it all comes back I look you in the eye
And I can't complain.....
Cause everything in life was all for you
All I need is you.......
"You"- Paying Tuition
Life it seems too easy
At seventeen she's leaving
The world she had is left behind tonight
And now she's got a baby
Her teenage years are fading
The children don't want to be young no more
Maybe it's the world we left behind
Teaching children right from what's wrong in life....
Or maybe it's our fault
Right about now she's lookin all sedated
Laxadaisical to her mind
Right about now I've had it up to here
You're running through their mind but it's not on you
"Right About Now"- Paying Tuition
Maybe I just never learned to grow
I left my home too young I know....
And as I sit I wonder why can't I
Find my way back home tonight
Maybe I just never seemed to try
The love I had I burned inside
I'm sorry if I let you down.....now I
I can get my feet back on the ground
So mother can you hear me tonight?
All alone on the street
Begging you...mother please....I'm cryin
And Father can you forgive your son?
Knowing I shouldn't run
Gone away for too long
Now I'm dyin
And as I write a letter now to you
I write this letter to myself knowing I.....
I'm sorry if I let you down
And I wanna be your son again
"Letter to Myself"- Paying Tuition
And I don't know why I tried
There's no reason why I'd be alive
Still I promised you that I'd come home soon
As you run away again...
Now if you see the words inside
I garauntee it's all a lie
Still I promised you the words we speak
As I run away again.....
And all I had was distressin in the sun
Through me you will find that I'm not the only one
And then you'll see if you turned around again
You're just a dream
You're just a dream for me.......
"Distressin in the Sun"- Paying Tuition
When I was still young my mother sang me off to sleep....
She sang me "Let it Be" as I'd "Imagine" a world "Across the Universe"
I dreamt of "Penny Lane" as "Strawberry Fields" were racing through my dreams
And in this light I found my life.......
Tu-ra-lu-ra.....tu-ra-lay.......that's what John Lennon would sing
The man and his mystery
I long to be and to see what he could see
Tu-ra-lu-ra.....tu-ra-lay.......that's what John Lennon would sing
What would life be like if John were still alive?
"John Lennon"- Paying Tuition
Tell me was it you my dear who saw the world so crystal clear?
Has everything turned grey?
Tell me was it life you fear?
The love inside was oh so real
And now it slips away......
So tell me was it you?
"Crystal Clear"- Paying Tuition
And she's dancing in the rain
Feeling free from all her pain
Her black dress is sitting upon the floor
And she's seems like she's insane
Her teardrops hidden by the rain
And now she's naked and can't complain
As the moment drifts away in life
You see the fire deep inside
With nothing else to lose
See the burning sunset show
She's spinning round the dream she had, you can't complain
And everything seems the same
And she's dancing in the rain
Showing the world all of her shame
You can't take away this life from me
Feel the pain inside her soul
Nothing left without her clothes
Now she's naked and always free
"Underneath the Rain"- Paying Tuition
