And I was sure Everything was ? You're in my heart But it's the feeling that all fell apart. Think of me; but don't believe that I was wrong. When I switched off my feeling is when I lost control. Couldn't say what I was needing - Something I didn't know. I woke up in bed A cold sweat running down my head. And I remembered something you had said: (You Said) "Don't dream too long, 'cuz when you wake up everybodys gone." Find someone else to sing another song. When I switched off my feelings is when I lost control Couldn't say what I was needing - Something I didn't know When I swtiched off my feeling is when I lost control Couldn't say what I was needing - Something I didn't know "Too Involved" You never talk about it If it's too involved You don't wanna know Let it go Let it go And in the morning sun Everything is fine And it's alright Till you open your eyes Open your eyes You're thinking about yourself Thinking about your life Thinking about your wealth ? it's nothing It's nothing You never talk about it If it's too involved You don't wanna know Let it go Let it go And in the morning sun Everything is fine And it's alright Till you open your eyes Open your eyes "Don't Need A Drum" I don't need a drum, to make a song When I want to speak, I open my mouth If no one listens, I don't care I still disturb the air when I want to If I could say, don't need a thing What do postcards say anyway What do ? ? anyway I still disturb the air when I want to I don't need a drum, to make a song When I want to speak, I open my mouth If no one listens, I don't care I still disturb the air when I want to "Every Picture I Paint" See her lying in my bed My pillow stuffed beneath her head Her hair is like a sea of gold I'd love to say it her Kiss her lips, they're wet with spit It's more a flavor, taste like wine Sticking something cold inside Those eyes leave goosebumps on my spine You're very presence turns me dear It takes a hundred thousand colors to paint you And every picture that I paint doesn't capture you You're very presence turns me dear It takes a hundred thousand colors to paint you And every picture that I paint doesn't capture you See her lying in my bed My pillow stuffed beneath her head Her hair is like a sea of gold I'd love to say it her Kiss her lips, they're wet with spit It's more a flavor, taste like wine Sticking something cold inside Those eyes leave goosebumps on my spine You're very presence turns me dear It takes a hundred thousand colors to paint you And every picture that I paint doesn't capture you You're very presence turns me dear It takes a hundred thousand colors to paint you And every picture that I paint doesn't capture you You're very presence turns me dear It takes a hundred thousand colors to paint you And every picture that I paint doesn't capture you You're very presence turns me dear It takes a hundred thousand colors to paint you And every picture that I paint doesn't capture you "Catholic Education 2" You wanna turn your back on everything You wanna turn your back on everyone Well I try You wanna turn your back on everything You wanna turn your back on everyone Well I try "Heavy Metal II" (Instrumental)
