What ravages of spirit Conjured this temptuous rage Created you a monster Broken by the rules of love And fate has led you through it You do what you have to do And fate has led you through it You do what you have to do And I have the sense to recognize that I don't know how to let you go Every moment marked With apparitions of your soul I'm ever swiftly moving Tryin' to escape this desire The yearning to be near you I do what I have to do The yearning to be near you I do what I have to do But I have the sense to recognize That I don't know how to let you go I don't know how to let you go A glowing ember Burning hot and Burning slow Deep within I'm shaken by the violence Of existing for only you I know I can't be with you I do what I have to do I know I can't be with you I do what I have to do And I have the sense to recognize but I don't know how to let you go I don't know how to let you go (I don't know how to let you go)

What I have to offer Well, there's a lot Now I'm a modest man But look at all I got For all the wear and tear I look okay I got good manners And I make a good pay And you know I'm all Full of love For you What I have to offer Well, there's so much A caring nature And a tender touch I got a pleasin' disposition And I don't care about Football or fishin' And you know That I'm all Full of love For you What I have to offer Well, check it out I've learned some things And I know what it's about I'm quite discerning And I'm pretty smart It takes an awful lot To win my heart But you know That I'm so Full of love For you

Here it comes that lonely feeling again Well, I think I'll call up my nouveau friends Met her at 'The Edge' on a Monday night And I think that she'd be fun but she's not my type We talking about the accident All messed up and that's exactly what she meant Inherit the wind and start over again What have you got to do to get off tonight What have you got to do to get off tonight What have you got to do to get off tonight I don't want to talk about what's fashionable I don't want to know about what is in vogue I want to know about the way that you feel I want to have fun, I want to know what is real I feel like a bird was frying on a wire Walking on coals to cool my desire Inherit the wind but you're gonna get tired What have you got to do to get off tonight What have you got to do to get off tonight What have you got to do to get off tonight, oh Ooh and I feel like a bird that's frying on a wire Walking on coals to cool my desire Inherit the wind but you're gonna get tired What have you got to do to get off tonight What have you got to do to get off tonight What have you got to do to get off tonight What have you got to do to get off tonight Hey, what have you got to do to get off tonight What have you got to do to get off, hey, hey, hey, hey Hey, hey, hey, hey Ooh, yeah

There's something about the winter's down in Texas Something in the wind that burns my eyes No way that I could keep from being reckless When nothing but a drink can ease my mind Now I've had enough of wanting to be wanted I've had enough of living in despair They say that brighter days will surely find me But I've never seen the sun like I did there So I'm packing up my bags and heading westward Looking for a place to call my own And I know I could find peace down in the valley But something about the water calls me home Well, in my heart there's two roads that diverge now And I'm sorry I can only travel one But living's only living once you've chosen To stop wasting time wondering what you might've done So I'm packing up my bags and heading westward Looking for a place to call my own And I know I could find peace down in the valley But something about the water calls me home So I'm packing up my bags and heading westward Looking for a place to call my own And I know I could find peace down in the valley But something about the water calls me home Oh I know I could find peace down in the valley But something about the water calls me home

I know your life is empty And you hate to face this world alone So you're searching for an angel Someone who can make you whole I cannot save you I can't even save myself So just save yourself (Save yourself) I know that you've been damaged Your soul has suffered such abuse But I am not your savior I am just as fucked as you (I am just as fucked as you) I cannot save you I can't even save myself So just save yourself Please don't take pity on me Please don't take pity on me Please don't take pity on me Please don't take pity on me My life has been a nightmare My soul is fractured to the bone If I must be lonely I think I'd rather be alone (I think I'd rather be alone) You cannot save me You can't even save yourself I cannot save you I can't even save myself Save yourself So just save yourself

I am lost In the darkness Between two worlds And here I'm struggling You're the light That I've been seeking Cuz my whole life There's been something missing Only you Can make me whole Just one touch You complete me Only you Can make me whole Just one touch You complete me Rescue me From this blackhole It sucked me in And left me dying You're the truth That I've been seeking Cuz my whole life I've been lying Only you Can make me whole Just one touch You complete me Only you Can make me whole Just one touch You complete me God I pray You'll find me worthy Of the right To stand beside you And of your truth And of your passion And of the right To sleep beside you Only you Can make me whole Just one touch You complete me Only you Can make me whole Just one touch You complete me Just one touch You complete me Just one touch You complete me Just one touch

With time's passage, though, what worth would such things be Without a pen with which to write, Nor a voice with which to speak If I found you gazing back at me As the second night descends? For time steals us all away one day, does it not? It robs us of the things we want to hold onto the most. And believe me when I say That it lies in wait for no man or woman to make their haste. Just as easily, a thousand years would go to waste. The work is all the same before the eye of God, Is it not? Perhaps it is the plot I've lost? Perhaps I've lost my Way? At this point are they not the same? Am I not treading the One and only Pilgrims' Westward Way To do the workings of the One and only Thing? Have I not come this very way in search of higher things at stake? I have seen it manifest, I have seen it ache, I have been the squander, and I have been the mirth As their eyes avert from heavens sent to guide them to their birth. As they foster their impurity and mock the very Way In which the lurking and the murmuring Shall speak from night to day Will they choke upon their poison and speak the poison word While not manifesting the purity they sought. O', what a shame, O', what a tragedy it is for these words to fall upon deaf ears Doomed to never reach their subject. O', what a fool am I to have laboured and believed In such petty human things, When it was clear from the beginning; That we are westward souls? I pray the night might take me. I pray the night might take me westward bound. To confront who we are, to confront the shadow self, I pray the night might take me. If I must die a thousand deaths and die a thousand more As nameless, faceless, restless men Who nightly reach deaths door Then pray this lantern lays still lit to adorn my very soul. She told me once... "This is what happens in the mountains Where the light can't reach." So I go westward, westward bound.
