Desire reveals, designed like a hawk Who loved to soar, what it was made for The only thing, I know for sure Since I was born, the world has grounded me I had a dream, playing TMNT I still feel my thumb, bleeding internally Killing time, is killing me Is that what God, intended for me? I was born to bleed Where no one else can see I want to be finally free I want to be finally me I gave you the first, and the best of me Don’t want you to see, the next 10 to 20 I’ve seen death, love and talking trees But nothing as scarred and hurt and worn as me What you see, hiding behind A brilliant disguise, an elaborate fig leaf Like trying to hold, water in your hands Still looking for, every missing piece I was born to bleed Where no one else can see I want to be finally free I want to be finally me I was born to bleed Where no one else can see I want to be finally free I want to be finally me

Every needle a reminder That I wish I could be stronger A reminder that the war ain’t over Thirty some years later Treatments getting better But I’m tired of living as a warrior I want to love carefree I want to give my family The better undefeated me I’m sick of being broken Considering the fusion and fearing every outcome Hating this condition Joints only seem to stiffen Just waiting for the perfect time I want to love carefree I want to give my family The better undefeated me I learned to dance before I learned To wield a sword and tame the beast Now I gaze into her eyes Behold her grace on coldest nights I bring faith and unseen things The only blade worth carrying 'Cause I can’t change what’s happening I can’t change what’s happening I want to love carefree I want to give my family The better undefeated me I want to love carefree I want to give my family The better undefeated me I want to love carefree I want to give my family The better undefeated me

No one knows what it's like in hell the pain inside this empty shell No, you'll never know No one knows what what it's like to see, the never ending agony, No, you'll never know No one knows my tainted blood, the pain inside is like a flood, No, you'll never know You have eyes, and can never tell the pain inside this empty shell No, you'll never know You have eyes, and fail to see, the never ending agony, No, you'll never know You have eyes, but cannot see, the never ending agony, No, you'll never know

Winter's come again It brings a cold North wind Darkness closes in And falls outside my door Another night begins I look for you once more I miss your gentle touch Your breath upon my skin I miss the warm embrace A lover and a friend We dance by firelight Shadow on the wall I wake alone, with the morning light Snow begins to fall The day you came to me Like the wind so free Like a morning sun A light upon my door You were a promise of A shelter from the storm Oh, your gentle touch Your breath upon my skin Oh, the warm embrace A lover and a friend We dance liked lovers dance Shadow on the wall In the morning light, a gentle snow Outside began to fall On a cold dark winter's day You were called away Now darkness closes in It falls outside my door As the night begins I look for you once more And I'll feel your gentle touch Breath upon my skin I'll feel the warm embrace A lover and a friend In the night I’ll hear you call You've come to me again I dance across the floor Open the door It's only just the wind... Winter's come again

Mountain music melodies Blue Ridge mountain memories Take me to a place that I call home Those mountain music melodies Will always be a part of me The people and the places that I’ve known We sing about Home, friends and family How life should be For you and me Home, friends and family Sweet harmony The heart and soul of mountain music melodies Sometimes when I'm alone I dream about that mountain home The mornin' sun a-risin’ I see in my mind's eye Painted in that morning sky A mountain blue horizon And I think about Home, friends and family How life should be For you and me Home, friends and family Sweet harmony The heart and soul of mountain music melodies Those weekends at the social We'd all kick up our heels Daddy'd call a square dance Like the ole Virginia reel The last song of the evening We'd sing "O' Shenandoah" Oh, that was so long ago But I still know Those mountain music melodies Mountain music melodies Blue Ridge mountain harmonies Take me to a place that I call home Those mountain music melodies Will always be inside of me The people and the places that I've known We sing about Home, friends and family How life should be For you and me Home, friends and family Sweet memory The heart and soul of mountain music melodies Those weekends at the social We'd all kick up our heels Daddy'd call a square dance Like the ole Virginia reel The last song of the evening We'd sing "O' Shenandoah" Oh, that was so long ago But I still know Mountain music melodies Those songs about Home, friends and family How life should be For you and me Home, friends and family Sweet memory The heart and soul of mountain music melodies

I was wrong when I was right And I was right when I was wrong Nothing is black or white All the world is painted grey Woke up to all grey And the black is calling me back I see colors I cannot touch And the black is at my back I'm running with the wind Catch me if you can And if you catch me, hold me and be a friend Tell me is there hope or is this the end I'm in a room There’s no light I can't find my way It’s all dark I can't see the light of day Can you see me Feel me It is winter, I turn bitter and I don't know which way to go I'm running with the wind Catch me if you can And if you catch me, hold me and be a friend Tell me is there hope or is this the end

Take these arms they are shaking Take these hands they are breaking And I don't know how I'll go So fragile all alone Rusted and raw Broken I fall Into your arms, baby Don't be alarmed I'm rusted and raw I’m rusted and raw Take these lungs they are breathing Take this heart it is beating And here I stand a damaged man Stretching out asking for your hand Rusted and raw Broken I fall Into your arms, baby Don't be alarmed I'm rusted and raw I’m rusted and raw Rusted and raw Broken I fall Into your arms, baby Don't be alarmed I'm rusted and raw I’m rusted and raw
