Non Domestiks

Look into the sadness, there's no reason to be sad
Look into the anger, there's no reason to be mad
You'll find your direction, you'll find your liberty
It will come together, you'll unlock the mystery

There is still time so take it slow
It's such a crime to not let it show
Don't turn away from what you feel
Someday you'll find it all can be real
Don't let their words bring you down
Don't let your fears turn you upside-down
You will find in your own way
It's just a game we all have to play

Holding it together, it's so hard to stay true
There's always stormy weather but I know you'll make it through
Waiting for tomorrow is such an eternity
There is always sorrow in a world that you can't see

There is still time so take it slow
It's such a crime to not let it show
Don't turn away from what you feel
Someday you'll find it all can be real
Don't let their words bring you down
Don't let your fears turn you upside-down
You will find in your own way
It's just a game we all have to play

Letters you could never answer.
Letters to you, thrown away.
You don't need to ever listen what I have felt you have heard.

I have gone through all the phases.
I have lived through all the lies.
You don't need to ever listen what I have felt you have heard.

Running in every direction.
Trying to find what is real.
You don't need to ever listen what I have felt you have heard.

If you could read my mind would you run away and hide
If I could let it show would you be happy to know?
If you looked into my eyes would you see or realize
If you were to turn away would I try to find the right words to say?

If I could find the words to tell you
If you believed it could be right
If you should feel the same way I do
Would we be happier tonight?
If you could understand, if I should take your hand
Maybe you'd take a chance,
Or turn away...

We go through another day, we don't have much to say
Just a passing hello, just a glance as we go.
We live such different lives, when we say our goodbyes
Seperate worlds left behind when we share
These moments in time.

If I could find the words to tell you
If you believed it could be right
If you should feel the same way I do
Would we be happier tonight?
If you could understand, if I should take your hand
Maybe you'd take a chance,
Or turn away...

I said I wouldn't, I know it's not right
Once again I've lied.
I made a big show, I'm strong now
It won't phase me...
Sooner or later we all pay the price.

I know it's not right
Still I wanna lay down and cry.
I've no strength for this tonight.

Babe I don't blame you, it's just the cards
Once again in my way, dictating what I play.
I should be happy I tried for something and I was not afraid.
Does that stop my tears today?

I know it's not right
I had it all clear in my mind,
But I've no strength for this tonight.

If you wanted to you could drive my car
If you're feeling blue we could hit the bar
If it's getting late on a Friday night
You don't have a date, it's gonna be all right
Feeling down in the dumps again
Drinking wine alone
Don't you know you can count on me
All you have to do is pick up the phone.
Let's go grab a bite, then we can talk all night
About the things we love, the things we hate
And what is to become of our fate.
What are we to do - haven't got a clue
Will we ever be what we want to be.
Lost in endless conversation
Time is running out
Till the next time we meet again
We'll have so much more to talk about
You're a friend of mine.
If you're lost inside depression
I can ease your mind
If you're looking for direction
I can lead you to whatever you'll find
You're a friend of mine.

Do you believe in omens, in things that you can't see
Do you believe in good things-these questions I ask me
I like to watch the sunset on an Autumn day
Rises east then sets west but never goes awawy.
I haven't any answers, sometimes my questions too run dry
I only know there's something more to you and I
If we walk to the mountains we're closer to the sky
We can touch the heavens if we open our minds
It strays and comes home
It never goes too far
The circle's never broken
The forehead and the star..
Words are little rivers, flowing endlessly
And in the end mean nothing, no difference we can see
So we look towards the sunlight, tears in our eyes
A light we can't forget, even though we try.
It strays and comes home
It never goes too far
The circle's never broken
The forehead and the star..

It returns, a boomerang life is throwing
Bridges burn, it's not a matter of knowing
What we learn, what day to day we are showing
Wheels they turn, we're just along for the ride

Chorus - I'm alright, I'm happy
You're alright, defiant
We're alright.

Still we see signs of the times that are showing
Scattered leaves blow in the wind without knowing
What will be, still to their fate they are going
As are we, direction a state of mind.

Chorus

Look at me now, what's lost is found, it's turned around
What you can see, how things will be
I'm turning, I'm turning, I'm turning...

On we go feeling a happy defiant
So sell those lies cause we're not gonna buy it
Blow by blow, it isn't lost once we find it
And I know we'll stand our ground everyday

I'm alright, I'm happy
You're alright, defiant
We're alright. We're alright
I'm alright, defiant
You're alright, you're happy
We're alright, defiant.

I wake up and I go to work each day
I smile into a face of stone
I give and get nothing in return
I say good morning into silent eyes
Then I'm asked why I prefer to be alone.

I'm pulling up the bucket and it's dry
The well being tapped to the max
Today that's just the way it will be
No more emotional charity.

In the evening when I go out at night
I give my all to an empty room
I sing a song only a few can hear
The same few give all the time
To tap them dry also I fear.

I'm pulling up the bucket and it's dry
The well being tapped to the max
Today that's just the way it will be
No more emotional charity.

How long will my voice want to sing
And be the tree in the forest no one hears
Does it even have a little meaning
Is it doing anything at all
Or is it simply taking a fall?

I'm pulling up the bucket and it's dry
The well being tapped to the max
Today that's just the way it will be
No more emotional charity.

Now you walk right by me like it doesn't show
What you've been doing or where you go, but I know
Yeah I know.
And you smile real sweet like I'm unaware
Where you've been going or whose time you share, but I know
Yeah I know.

I know more than this one thing
I'm here to tell you something
You think that I'm crying for you
That can't be further from the truth.
I'm not down, I'm not out cause we're through
I figured out what is real, what's a lie
There's the door, have a nice life.

There were times in the past when I felt weak
I'd follow you around but I changed you see cause I know
Yeah I know,
You're less than a minnow in a fishing pond
And it's not real hard for me to move along cause I know
Yeah I know.

I know more than this one thing
I'm here to tell you something
You think that I'm crying for you
That can't be further from the truth.
I'm not down, I'm not out cause we're through
I figured out what is real, what's a lie
There's the door, have a nice life.

I'm not down, I'm not out - I'm not down, I'm not out

I was walking down your street, up to your front door
Just like a hundred times before
You won't be there, you won't be there, you won't be there
Baby I don't care

I told you I love you, that's never gonna change
It's always gonna be the same
But I don't mind, I take my time, no I don't mind
Babe I'm feelin fine

But I love you, I love you
I love you, I just can't handle blue.

R-They want me there for them, but are they there for me?
I see no reciprocity.
And though I know it's better to give than to receive, why is it always me?
K-They force their views on me. I'm not the enemy.
It's just a waste of energy and my time, which I don't care to give freely unless it makes them see
That it's not an issue...
R-They have 2000 "friends" and yet there not famous but they make it look that way with fancy words and a creative resume, clever in their deceit.
K-I'm not interested if they're an agnostic or have an atheistic view. It doesn't matter if they're a Christian or a Jew because for me it's true
That it's not an issue...
R-I used to care so much I started losing touch and started playing the same game. But now they all look like fools and I'm here to say that I am not the same.
K-It's hard to ignore the world's hypocrisy when someone throws it in my face. I can't control the way they use cyberspace but I can choose "delete"
Now it's not an issue..

SOMETIMES I’M DRIVING AND I WONDER
THAT THERE’S SOMETHING GOING ON
THAT THERE’S MORE BENEATH THE SURFACE
THAT THERE MAY BE SOMETHING WRONG
I’M TRYING NOT THINK ABOUT IT
BUT IT DOESN’T DO MUCH GOOD
AND WHEN I TRY TO GET AN ANSWER
I ONLY FEEL MISUNDERSTOOD

AND I FEEL SUCH A STRUGGLE WITHIN
AND IT’S TEARING ME APART INSIDE
JUST WHEN I FEEL LIKE I’M STARTING TO WIN
I’M KNOCKED DOWN BY ANOTHER BLOW FROM BEHIND

AND IF THE BATTLE’S REALLY OVER
IT’S PLAIN TO SEE I HAVEN’T WON
SOMETIMES I WONDER ABOUT MY PURPOSE
CAUSE I’M NOT REALLY HAVING FUN
AND ALL THESE PEOPLE THAT SURROUND ME
DO THEY EVER FEEL THE SAME
I’M TIRED OF WASTING ALL MY ENERGY
I’M TIRED OF FEELING THE SAME WAY

AND I FEEL SUCH A STRUGGLE WITHIN
AND IT’S TEARING ME APART INSIDE
JUST WHEN I FEEL LIKE I’M STARTING TO WIN
I’M KNOCKED DOWN BY ANOTHER BLOW FROM BEHIND

I wish I could be with you all the time
I wish I knew for sure that you were mine
I wish I could trust you when I'm not there
But it's not your fault though that I don't think you care
I wish you were the first person to love me
I know then I would trust you completely
But damaged goods is this heart of mine
And locked in a circle it waits the time
Till you turn on me and leave me unceremoniously
Cheat on me with my best friend
Lie to me once, then three times again.
I wish this nagging doubt would go away
In times past though when it left I wished it would stay
I don't want to look at you through the corners of my eyes
Wondering if the smile you own is your disquise
Worn on your face to hide the truth from me,
Does it blind me to the things that I should see?
I think this love a beautiful wild flower
While trapped in my mind I count the hours,
Till you turn on me and leave me unceremoniously
Cheat on me with my best friend
Lie to me once, then three times again
Cut loose the ball and chain,
What it's called when the interest wanes
Losing more faith every time it ends
Lie to me once, then three times again.
I wish I could believe it's different this time
And I finally found a love I could call mine
But faithless is the way that I will go
As I'm waiting for the rivers to change their flow
And you turn on me and leave me unceremoniously
Cheat on me with my best friend
Lie to me once, then three times again
Cut loose the ball and chain,
What it's called when the interest wanes
Losing more faith every time it ends
Lie to me once, then three times again.
