 5- Black
Sheets  of empty canvas
 untouched sheets  of clay
Were  laid spread out  before me
 as her body  once did
All  five horizons,
 revolved around  her soul  as the earth to the sun
Now  the air I tasted  and breathed,
 has taken  a turn
 Oooh and  all I taught her was... everything
 Oooh all  I know she gave me all... that she  wore
 And now  my bitter hands
 Chafe beneath  the clouds
 Of what was everything
 All the pictures  have all been washed  in black
 Tattooed everything.
 I take  a walk  outside
 I'm surrounded  by some kids  at play
I  can feel their laughter
 So why  do I swear?
 Ooh and  twisted thoughts that spin round my head
 Oooh I'm spinning,oh I'm spinning  how quick the sun can drop  away
 And now  my bitter hands
 cradle broken  glass
 of what was everything
 All the pictures  have all been washed  in black
Tattooed  everything
 All the  love gone bad
 turned my world  to black
 tattooed all  I see
 All that I  am
 All that I'll beeeeee  yeaahheah
Hum...uh
 I know  someday you'll have a beautiful life
 I know  you'll be a star,
 In somebody  elses sky, whyhy,  whyhy whyhy
 can't it be, oh can't it be mine.
Tchruruu....  Yeah ... uhh

 7- Oceans
Hold  on to the thread
 The currents  will shift
Guide  me  towards you...
 You know something's left
 And we're  all allowed
To  dream of  the next
  ( )
 Oh, the next... time we touch.. ooh...
You  don't have to stray
 To oceans  away
Waves  roll  in my thoughts
 Hold tight the  ring
The  sea will rise
Please  stand  by the shore
  ( )
 I will be... I will be there once more.. ooh..
 8- Porch
What  the fuck  is this  world
Running  to, you didn't
Leave  a  message, at least  I
Coulda'  learned your voice  one last time
Daily minefield, this  could
Be  my time,  'bout  you?
Would  you  hit me?
Would  you  hit me?
Oh oh oh...oh whoa  whoa...ow...
 ( )
All  the  bills go  by,
 And  unitiatives are taken  up
By  the middle,  there ain't gonna  be any middle any  more
 And the  cross I'm bearing  home
 Ain't indicative  of my place
 Left the  porch
 Left the  porch
Oh  oh  oh...oh..
Hear  my name,  take a good  look
This  could be the day
 Hold my  hand, walk beside  me
I  just need to say...
Hear  my name,  take a good look
This  could be the day
 Hold my hand,  lie beside  me
I  just need to say
 I could  not take a-just one day
 I know when  I would not ever touch you
 Hold you...feel  you...in my arms...never  again...
 ( )
 Yeah... (12x)
 9- Garden
 She don't wander in here
Don't  wander in here she
She  don't wander in here
Don't  wander in here
The  direction of the eye, so misleading
The  defection of the soul, nauseously quick
I  don't question our existence
I  just question our modern needs
She  don't wander in here
Don't  wander in here Am She, she don't wander in here.
 I will walk  with my hands  bound
 I will walk  with my face  blood
 I will walk  with my shadow  flag
 Into  your garden, garden  of stone
After  all is done and we're still alone
I  won't be taken
Stone
Yeah I  don't
Show, I  don't
Share I  don't
Need, yeah, what  you have to give
 (rhythm)
 (play  for entire solo)
 Ooh, I will walk  with my hands  bound
 I will walk  with my face  blood
 I will walk  with my shadow  flag
 Into  your garden, garden
 I will walk  with my hands  bound
 I will walk  into your garden,  garden of
Stone
I  don't
Know, I  don't
Care I  don't
Need, yeah,  my bit of land yeah  yeah yeah
