You're up in my face, spitting and screaming Your composure is gone, gone away Calling me "fool" the insults abounding And you're shocked to find my mind hasn't changed You say God's for the weak, if he exists To punish man for the wrongs he has done You're simply a hindrance to those who are seeking But in the heat of your pride you have overlooked... His love How could you be so very wrong? (Can't stop thinking it's true...) How could you miss it all along? The sucker... was you Allow for that possibility Like you would expect from me Could the wrong one, could it be you? Is God not what you assume? You say, "don't stereotype, don't generalize me, I alone represent myself." But it's o.k. for you to do that to me? Could it be that you don't know me quite that well? You live double-standard, the law of convenience Such as the right to freedom of speech Name any religion - you'll take the lecture But you'll pull the plug once Jesus Christ is preached? "It's o.k. to speak beliefs, as long as I agree Cencorship is wrong - but only if you censor me. I'm open to the truth, accepting of change But not if that means repentance because they're really not the same." You've taken my God and attempted to turn him Into something you know he is not (Place one lie here and another one there And then you've got a god with whom you can find fault) But the fact still remains, and the flowers still fade God is true and forever more If you would open your heart and honstly seek He would open your eyes and you would know the truth

He stands alone outside the blooming yard All is calm there on the street The shadows pass him hung right over The pain on his face he knew he'd keep... His hair is long, and it's twisted, it's twisted Around the smile spread cheek to cheek Another child, another soul, grabs a hold To the metal that will end his misery... One by one We stand beneath the sun With arms high open wide Two by two He's getting you To watch him as he leaves this life he knew How much anger is set aside As each one of us cries Red light they come and they take him away In the thoughts, he'll be better, some day... Tied tight, can't see out your eyes That he's sure to shine, sure to shine In this deep dark, fucked up, played out, reality show So, who's the man, with the plan, Eating up all that he can? Don't you see, don't you see... One by one We stand beneath the sun With arms high open wide Two by two He's getting you To watch him as he leaves this life he knew Do you ever think that things are meant to be? I know we all have our reasons why And now the power of one human being Has gone and changed so many lives... One by one We stand beneath the sun With arms high open wide Two by two He's getting you To watch him as he leaves this life he knew One by one We start to come undone... Two by two He's getting through to you... One by one we stand, we stand, we stand, over, Over, you...

You've got this new head filled up with smoke And I got my veins all tangled close To the jukebox bars you frequent The safest place to hide A long night spent with your most obvious weakness You start shaking at the thought You are everything I want 'Cause you are everything I'm not And we lay, we lay together Just not too close, too close (how close is close enough?)
