COMING DOWN
GONE FOR GOOD -
There comes a time
when you have to walk away
but all the time, all the time
just wishing you could stay

<ch>Slippery Skin
Slip right through
Slippery Skin
Slippin' right away from me

I don't believe
that your gone for good
I can't believe
you've left me so misunderstood

<ch>Slippery Skin
Slip right through
Slippery Skin
Slippin' right away from me

<br>slippin' x4

<ch>Slippery Skin
Slip right through
Slippery Skin
Slippin' right away from me

INSIDE OF ME -
In the pity of the wake this morning
found myself too high to dream
found myself a little bit quiet
found myself more dead inside
i been talkin in my sleep now
been sayin these crazy things
been havin such bad bad nightmares
just to realize it's reality

<ch>Said I've (been there before)
and I've (walked out the door)
Said I've (been there before)
and I've (walked out the door)

Later on i'm hearin voices
the walls are avin in
someone they spoke to me
and said someone said it's time to begin
it's time for a healing measure
too dumb to imagine pleasure
too high to know this treaure
standing here in front of me

<ch>Said I've (been there before)
and I've (walked out the door)
Said I've (been there before)
and I've (walked out the door)

In the pity of the wake this morning
found myself too high to dream
found myself a little bit quiet
found myself more dead inside

#1 -
Nothin glorious
bout the number one
'cause bein alone
just ain't no fun
i could try my best
to explain it right
how I cry myself to sleep
each and every night

<ch>everytime you say goodbye
it tears me up inside
it makes me wanna die
but there's nothing I can say to make this pain go away

Your my sunshine
when it starts to rain
the sound of your voice
cancels all the pain
your my heaven
and I wanna fly
leave this earth
jump up to the sky
you bring me rainbows
stretch 'em cross the sun
your my everything
your my number one

<ch>

<br>away...make it all go away

<ch>

EMBRYO BENEATH -

BACK HOME-
Betrayed by the one you trust
civil ground left in the dust
don't you know everythings messed up
but you don't understand
Left outside in the bitter cold
termoil is getting old
don't you know everythings messed up
but you don't understand

<ch>You can never go back home
you can never go back
you can never go back home
without leaving me alone

Been done and then undone
been the light but not the sun
don't you know everythings messed up
but you don't understand
Seen the clouds and felt the rain
held my hands to the bitter pain
don't you know everythings messed up
but you don't understand

<ch>

THANK GOD -
Sittin under the night sky
moonlight beaming down
the electric glow of city lights
can be seen all around

but even though the wind is blowin
don't think that i'll be goin...soon

<ch>cause I thank God
for sending me an angel
cause I thank God
for sending me an angel
for sending me an angel

I held you close
as I looked into your eyes
and when you reached to touch my face
it made me realize

that even though it's gettin late
there's only one thing I can say

<ch>

UNSENT LETTERS -
I'm reading the letters
that I never sent to you
pages and pages of things
I never said to you
all the would have should haves
folded up and put away
drawers full of memories
never to see the light of day

<ch>and if I had the chance
i'd probably keep it all inside
because I don't feel right
letting it out tonight

I'm driving past your house
for the 15th time today
I guess I can't let go
it's harder done than it is to say
I still love to go
to the places we used to go
why I do these things
I guess I'll never know

<ch>

THE STARS -
It's been so long
since i've held you in my arms
and we'd lie awake
talkin' bout nothin at all
so many nights
you kept me from dying
now my nights
are mostly spent cryin

<ch>the hardest thing that I could do
is try to fill your shoes
the only thing that I can't do
is ever fill your shoes

We used to look at the stars
and talk about where we'd be in 5 years
I never said much at all
I guess I never left that night
but thats okay
I wouldn't trade those nights for a thing
because you were there, you were there, you were there

<ch>

COMING DOWN -
You -
drifting aimlessly from place to place
You -
unable to recognize your own face
You -
not knowing where you'll be when tomorrow comes
You -
don't even remember where you came from

<ch>now it's time to forget
all these things that leave you grounded
now how high must you get
before you realize you can only come back down

You -
full of loneliness and left to wander
You -
an empty shell of someone you once wee
You -
unknowing of the path you should take
You -
searching for a way just to escape

<ch>

<br>down, come back down, come back down

<ch>
