Everybody 03:02
Everybody wants some love in their life Everybody wants someone to hold their hand And they want someone to understand They’re only human and they’re looking for someone to hold Everybody wants an ear at the end of the day To listen and take all their worries away They’re always talking and they’re looking for someone who cares Everybody wants some love in their life Everybody wants a word of encouragement When they tumble into a pit of shit They’re only looking for someone to keep them clean Everybody wants someone who will share their dreams Who will lift them up and won’t be so mean In a world so cold it helps to hold some warmth Everybody wants some love in their life But you don’t need anything it seems You’ve got your plans and your friends And they don’t include me But all I want is you But you’ve got to much to do Oh no I think I’ve made a mess But still I want your love

Motion 03:29
I wish I were a wave rolling on the sea Splashing around for eternity Or as long as god gave me breath I wish I were in motion Cause all these thoughts They pull me down again To the bottom of the sea Where the sunlight ends And I’m so cold and lonely here I wish I were in motion I feel so broken up like a star-filled sky 3-0-0 sextillion glaring eyes Pierce me from every point And put my heart in motion Oh what’s an ape to do with such diamonds thoughts? You stick them in a song and pray your soul unlocks And releases you from your mortal womb And puts your heart in motion Oh no, I’m a river now My water is my sound I’m gonna bury down into the deep dark earth Plant myself in warmth and lift this awful curse That clouds me like a half-remembered dream And put myself in motion Yes when I am still I’m really fast at work Moving through dimensions of the highest worth In my mind though I’m lost at times I know I’ll find the motion Oh no, I’m a river now My water is my sound

Ain't got nobody to tell my secrets to So I put them in a song And hope the message pours on through There's a lady that I love Does she know how I feel? I mean, I guess I could be a monk in a tree But I still hope to keep my feet on the ground Sometimes I think that I should have been Born in a different time With a different mind And maybe then I'd feel fine Ain't got nobody to call when I'm feeling blue So I put my tears in a song And hope that the message reaches you There's a lady that I love Well does she ever think of me? I mean, I guess I could be a monk in a tree But I still hope to keep my feet on the ground Sometimes I think that I should have been Born in a different time With a different mind And maybe then I'd feel fine If I could just talk to you and find out what you think And know if it was all a dream I had one night And now it's gone I'm feeling so lonely waiting and hoping But never knowing I wish I could just cut this from me.

I wish that I had a different mind Because I don't like my thoughts sometimes I wish that I had different eyes Because I don't like what I see sometimes I’ve been blessed I’ve been given less I’ve got no reasons to complain But sometimes Can’t help but fold When something evil swims into my soul Some gloomy ghost That appears To twist my lonely heart into tears Then I can’t breathe And it won’t leave A sadness so strong it brings me to my knees But I won’t break no, I never do But still it’s so damn hard to push through I wish that I had a different mind Because I don't like my thoughts sometimes I wish that I had different eyes Because I don't like what I see sometimes I’m so soft inside I fear I’ll melt if I go outside All my soul seeps through these holes I wish that I could plug myself up sometimes Everyone wears a mask Where can I find one I ask They bury down in drink and drugs But dry inside from lack of love But love’s all I’ve got to give it seems It tears me apart til I bleed I wish that I had a different mind Because I don't like my thoughts sometimes I wish that I had different eyes Because I don't like what I see sometimes But I’m strong enough it seems to sing my songs I’m brave enough to peer into my soul Whether it is black or blue or darker than the darkest night I shall crawl on through and find my True Will
