Can't Take It

You're untouchable but you're all I see
You’re the one I adore but you’re out of reach
I can be polite or I can get rowdy
either way I am the puppet
and you’re controlling the strings
you've got something that I want
and you know I'm standing right here
you've got something that I need
and the pain is getting so severe
you’ve got all the cards in your upper hand
I’m gonna scream as loud as I can
cuz I can’t take it anymore
Your words are poetry, your heart is perfection
I can feel the chemistry, an undeniable connection
I would profess my love but you’re already taken
I need something to change my mind
And tell me you’re not the one
I can’t take it anymore, I can’t take it!
I can’t take it anymore!

Distraction

I know it was free, didn't have to earn it
this defective life, I need to return it
I'll wait in line amongst the strangers
if you can do me better, then I'll exchange 'er
what is the nature of our love?
I need a reaction, oh, the bitter question...
do you want a distraction
from your dissatisfaction?
don't know what I've got, don't know what it means
can't put back together this messed up machine
a basic transaction, a simple request
in a buy sell culture we're rarely impressed
I can’t tell you what you need
I am only a distraction
from your dissatisfaction
I can’t give you what you need

I Don't Believe

If you don't last on earth you don't last at all
The higher we climb the harder we fall
Just because it's said, doesn't mean I heard
Just because it's written doesn't mean it's the word
We drink from the fountain of life and there won't be hell's fire
Memories of good deeds fade and all perfect moments expire.
I don’t believe in heaven
We act on feelings and follow chattering voices
Who is the savior responsible for all of your choices?
Can you live just to try to make someone smile?
Will you look back at the end and say, say it was all worthwhile?
I don’t believe in heaven
I don’t believe in heaven
Do you believe in heaven?
cuz I don’t believe in heaven

The Muse

When I’m cold, she brings me warmth
I’m sustained when I’m in her arms
she feeds the hunger of my forlorn
she dries my tears after the storm
maybe it’s a delusion
and you are nothing but
a very wishful conclusion
of a desperate internal voice
all my wrongs, she lets me forget
this fragile soul, she will defend
when losing battles presage my end
she lays me down on an angel's bed
speak to me
have the notes tell me a story
don’t leave me now
I need this theme to feel alive again

Promises You Can't Keep
04:41

I can’t give you the world
I can’t give you a country
I can’t give you a castle in the sky
or take away all your worries
I can’t give you the sun
the moon the stars or the galaxy
I can’t give you heaven or send away hell
I can’t give you anything but me
It’s the little things that love
and have great expectations
It’s the shortest steps that have
the most tangled navigation
It’s the moment that we live in
and the moment from which we run
all of the steps taken
adding up to none
It’s easy to write a word
making promises that you can’t keep
take us to the most divine landscape
where our imaginations leap
It’s my astute enemy
that skips to second chances
I knew and I denied
those quick and subtle glances
It’s my regretful foe
that chained me to the table
Changed my name every time
I’ve proven unstable
I can’t give you the world
I can’t build you a house of gold
I can’t move mountains or part the red sea
or keep us from growing old
I can’t give you the sun
the moon the stars or the galaxy
I can’t give you heaven or send away hell
I can’t give you anything but me
