how many ways have i shown you I love you? so many signs, so black and white time and time I told you as the bells chime East of midnight, when the veil's torn aside the sun it shines, with unbearable light how many ways must I show you i need you? so many times can't see the lines I shower you with kisses as the bells chime East of midnight, see the veil torn aside the sun it shines, with unbearable light so many days I sat waiting in silence so many tears, it took me years time and time I cried as the bells chimed East of midnight, where the veil's torn aside the sun it shines with unbearable light.

Forever Mine 02:44
you're forever mine so I'm feeling complete now I'm feeling fine but that's just a lie fantasies abide in me... you see.... fantasy whispers to me half truths full lies like "you'll be forever mine" . .... forever mine. that's such a long time.... movies play nowhere to hide I've tried, I've been tried I keep going... I'm willing. I've been denied keep going... and stronger this time.... But it's been such a long time you'd think by now I'd get it right but I'm still in disguise I'm still running... still searching... for the light. It's forever mine, so I'm gonna let it shine give me more wine. It's been such a long time man... Forever mine(it's been such a long time) ((repeat))

Tipping over sideways so i can't write a song to save my life these days but baby maybe if i called you might speak to me again... and i could mirror thee. we could guide each other in baby maybe i should call and sittin' on the sidelines is the star of the big show "shining for the street alone was a waste of a glow...." moving like a sidewinder no i can't, walk straight to save my life these days but baby maybe if i called, or is it too late?

oh what a night to go for a ride oh what a sight when your feet hit the ground dust in the light! see it rise like a bird heaven bound and when you sigh when you're high as a kite I can't help but see, somethings not right play hide and go seek and you know i will find you.... you know i will find you.... (go!) I heard your name and I saw your face- the rest was a dream moments like these can't be replaced can't be erased that white light of your embrace(it just stays) stuck in my gaze.... it stays I learned your ways... I leave what dont serve me and i leave... when I please lost in the blaze your profile was made on the altar of hades and in the shadow of Christ And God looks like dust in the light like a sparkle in your eye I see you rise like a bird heaven bound I see you rise like a bird heaven bound

It's really funny how you told me not to worry and then you left me.... on my lonely. have you thought about what we talked about? the pipe dreams... they've got to go now. it's frustrating, you don't know what you want you don't know what you need(you sad sucker) smitten by a feeling all you know.... (you sad sucker) is you've been smitten by a feeling.... ohhh... It's really funny how you told me not to worry in a hurry... and then you left me on my lonely it's really funny how you told me the grass is greener on our side, always.... and at the drop of a hat i'm inside of it again inside a dream that does not end just like that im inside of it again ya that old dream that does not end........

So long 03:59
so long everything and everyone I've gone to find a sword and start a war if you're the one whose taking note and keeping score then I'm losing my will to live is thinning.... so, so long... everyone I used to love carry on for your friends or for your God but I'm all done I'd rather be forgotten so long.... I've gone to find my kingdom come in the sun with all the battles that I won.... so long.... I've gone to find my kingdom come it's in the sun with all the battles that I won with all the battles that I won....
