Re-Live-ing the Scars: In London

Imagine your brain as a
Canister filled with ink
Yeah, now think of your body
As the pen where the ink resides

Fuse the two; KAPOW!
What are you now?
You're the human magic marker, won't you
Please surprise my eyes?

It's in your nature,
You can paint whatever picture
You like no matter what
Ted Koppel says on channel 4 tonight

So modify this third rock from the sun
By painting myriads of pictures
With the colors of one
I'm sick of painting in black and white

My pen is dry, now I'm uptight
So sick of limiting myself
To fit your definition
Picture the scene, where whatever you thought,

Would, in the blink of an eye,
Manifest and become illustrated
You'd be sure man that every
Line drawn reflected a life that you loved

Not an existence that you hated
So, must we demonstrate that
We can't get it straight?
We've painted a picture,

Now we're drowning in paint
Lets figure out what the fuck it's about
Before the picture we painted
Chews us up and spits us out

I'm sick of painting in black and white
My pen is dry, now I'm uptight
So sick of limiting myself
To fit your definition

Redefine

Take your time take all your time baby
C'mon
Take your time take it anytime
Raise the line raise the line everytime
C'mon
Raise the line
Raise it above my mind
Everything that stains me and breaks me
It's just a gut reaction trapped in this aggressive action

Everything is right here color me unsold
Everything is right here inside

Take the pain wash it all away baby
C'mon
Take the pain rip it all away
Take my hand take it anytime friend
C'mon
Take my hand take it anytime
Just like the king's men's nightmare
So low gotta see me to feel me
It's just a gut reaction
Trapped in this aggressive action

Everytime I give up something
I end up with less than mine
Turn around and see what's given
It's still less than

Feel my angst
Deep within me
Feed my strength
Your words are empty

Look inside and you will see
Break inside break inside

I am, My own
And that's something to me
I've grown, Too strong
To be under your feet

See the hands
That try to hold me
Read the past
I never was free

Deeds of shame
The world around me
Know my pain
The world that I see

Tell me what you want to be, and I'll take you there
Tell me where you want to be, and I'll take you there
Tell me how you want to feel, don't keep it from me
Tell me how it outta be through more than a stare
Show me what you want to be, don't hide it from me
Show me where you want to be, and I'll take you there
Show me how you want to feel, don't keep it from me
Show me how it outta be through more than a stare

I just want to see you
And I just want to hear you
And I just need to feel you
So stand up

Tell me who you are
Tell me where you want to be
Tell me how you feel
Show me how it outta be
Take a little piece of me and hang it from the right tree
Share a little piece of me and I'll keep you as a part of me

You are my all
You are my everything

Who are you, you're my everything

How long have I been standing here my friend
Has it been so long
I've been spreading myself so thin
And I've been so wrong

I want to be the one you run to
And I want to be your only one
I want to be the one you turn to
And I want to be the one

Why did all the good times turn to sin
And has it been so long
I've been standing here in my footprints
And I am so wrong

You shine on me all the good times with you
Where all the smiles belong
You trust in me to save the last tear for you
Cause I've been so wrong

Hey now its been so long
Hey hey won't you believe in me
Hey now I've come so far
How now won't you believe in me

Frustrations
My aberrance
My time
In my life
I can't be what you see in me
I can't be

that's when i plan to rise up rise up!
When you scream out loud were doomed were doomed!
