Know your head is spinning' Broken hearts will mend This is our beginning- Coming to an end

Well, you wanted something better man You wished for something new Well, you wanted something beautiful Wished for something true Been looking for a reason man Something to lose

"WALK"

A million miles awayYour signal in the distanceTo whom it may concernI think I lost my wayGetting good at starting overEvery time that I return

I'm learning to walk againI believe I've waited long enoughWhere do I begin?I'm learning to talk againCan't you see I've waited long enough?Where do I begin?

Do you remember the daysWe built these paper mountainsAnd sat and watched them burn?I think I found my placeCan't you feel it growing stronger?Little conquerors

I'm learning to walk againI believe I've waited long enoughWhere do I begin?I'm learning to talk againI believe I've waited long enoughWhere do I begin?

Now - For the very first timeDon't you pay no mind?Set me free againYou keep alive a moment at a timeBut still inside a whisper to a riotTo sacrifice but knowing to surviveThe first decline another state of mindI'm on my knees, I'm praying for a signForever, wheneverI never wanna die - I never wanna dieI never wanna die - I'm on my knees

I never wanna dieI'm dancing on my graveI'm running through the fireForever, whateverI never wanna dieI never wanna leaveI'll never say goodbyeForever, whatever -Forever, whatever

I'm learning to walk againI believe I've waited long enoughWhere do I begin?I'm learning to talk againCan't you see I've waited long enough?Where do I begin?

I'm learning to walk againI believe I've waited long enoughI'm learning to talk againCan't you see I've waited long enough?

"THE PRETENDER"

Keep you in the darkYou know they all pretendKeep you in the darkAnd so it all began

Send in your skeletonsSing as their bones go marching in... againThe need you buried deepThe secrets that you keep are ever readyAre you ready?I'm finished making senseDone pleading ignoranceThat whole defense

Spinning infinity, boyThe wheel is spinning meIt's never-ending, never-endingSame old story

[Chorus (x2):]What if I say I'm not like the others?What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?You're the pretenderWhat if I say I will never surrender?

In time or so I'm toldI'm just another soul for sale... oh, wellThe page is out of printWe are not permanentWe're temporary, temporarySame old story

[Chorus x2]

I'm the voice inside your headYou refuse to hearI'm the face that you have to faceMirrored in your stareI'm what's left, I'm what's rightI'm the enemyI'm the hand that will take you downBring you to your knees

So who are you?Yeah, who are you?x3Keep you in the darkYou know they all pretend

[Chorus x2]What if I say I'm not like the others?(Keep you in the dark)What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?(You know they all... pretend)You're the pretenderWhat if I say I will never surrender?

So who are you?Yeah, who are you?Yeah, who are you?

Your advice [x3"WHERE DID YOU SLEEP LAST NIGHT?"(originally by Lead Belly)

My girl, my girl, don't lie to meTell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pinesWhere the sun don't ever shineI would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you goI'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pinesWhere the sun don't ever shineI would shiver the whole night through

Her husband, was a hard working manJust about a mile from hereHis head was found in a driving wheelBut his body never was found

My girl, my girl, don't lie to meTell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pinesWhere the sun don't ever shineI would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you goI'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pinesWhere the sun don't ever shineI would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, don't lie to meTell me where did you sleep last night

In the pines, in the pines

Where the sun don't ever shineI would shiver the whole night through

My girl, my girl, where will you goI'm going where the cold wind blows

In the pines, in the pinesWhere the sun don't ever shineI would shiver the whole night through
