The Eleventh Hour '2002

1. Disappear

I watch you smile
You steal the show
You take a bow
The curtain falls in front of you
You're magical, on display
I gaze into your eyes and
You turn to look the other way


But I'd really love to know
I'd really love to climb
My way into your heart
And see what I could find
I'd walk into your skin
Swim through your veins
See it from your eyes
I'd really love to try...yeah


Standing still, but in my mind
Trying to escape
Looking for a place to hide
Well it's not safe but I'm so near
Invading every place you go
To disappear




I'd really love to know
I really want to climb
Into your soul
Walk into your skin
Swim through your veins
See it from your eyes
I'd really love to try
I'd really love to try

Yeah...yeah...yeah...try



Yeah I wanna get inside the you
You're hiding from
Yeah I wanna get inside the you
You're hiding from
I wanna get inside the you
That you are hiding from

2. Something Beautiful

If you put your arms around me
Could it change the way I feel
I guess I let myself believe
That the outside might just
Bleed it's way in
Maybe stir the sleeping past
Lying under glass
Waiting for the kiss
That breaks this awful spell
Pull me out...of this lonely cell


Close my eyes and hold my heart
Cover me and make me something
Change this something normal
Into something beautiful


What I get from my reflection
Isn't what I thought I'd see
Give me reason to believe
Never leave me incomplete
Will you untie this loss of mine
It so easily defines me
Do you see it on my face?
And all I can think about
Is how long
I've been waiting to feel you move me


Into something beautiful
Into something beautiful


And I'm still fighting for the
Word to break these chains
And I still pray when I look
In your eyes, you'll stare right
Back down into something beautiful


Into something beautiful
Into something beautiful
Into something beautiful

3. Revolution

Peace takes a taxi
To the underground
I wanna love the world
But I don't know how
Blame it on the d.j.
Playin' all the fast songs
Ain't spinnin' anything
That I can sing along


So if you know the words
Then try to sing along
And when you get the beat
Grab a hammer, bang a gong
Cuz you don't got to fight
Or make yourself belong
To be a revolution, yeah
To be a revolution


If you wanna learn
To play the rock guitar
Then thrown down your guns
And come be a star
You got to begin
With who you know you are
To be a revolution


Cuz the time is right
To cross that line
To let love find a way



4. Fly

Be still
Let your hand melt into mine
The part of me
That breathes when you breathe
Is losing time
I can't find the words to say
I'll never say goodbye


And I'll fly with you
Through the night so you know
I'm not letting go
I'm not letting go
Tears like rain fill up the sky
Oh my love
I'm not letting go
I won't let you go


I saw a host of silent angels
Waiting on their own
Knowing that all the promises
Of faith come alive
When you see home
Hold still and let your
Hand melt into mine




Shed your heart and your breath
And your pain and fly
Now your alive

Now your alive
Now your alive
Now your alive

I won't let you go
I'm not letting go

5. I Need You

Strangely out of place
There's a light filling this room
Where none would follow before
I can't deny it burns me up inside
I fan the flames to melt
Away my pride
Do I want shelter from the rain
Or the rain to wash me way?


I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you, I need you
You're all I'm living for


I might sound like a fool
But I think I felt you moving
Closer to me
Face to the ground
To hide the fatal cut
I fight the weight
I feel you lift me up
You are the shelter from the rain
And the rain to wash me away


I need you, I need you, I need you
I need you, I need you, I need you
(All I'm living for)
I need you, I need you, I need you
You're all I'm living for
All I'm living for
You're all I'm living for


Face to the ground
To hide the fatal cut
I fight the weight
Feel you lift me up
Can't deny it burns me up inside
I fan the flames to melt away
My pride
Only had a second to spare
But all the time in the world
To know you're there
You are the shelter from the rain
And the rain to wash me away


I need you, I need you, I need you
(All I'm living for)
I need you, I need you, I need you
(All I'm living for)
& I need you, I need you, I need you
You're all I'm living for
All I'm living for
All I'm living for
All I'm living for
You're all I'm living for

6. Silence

Take
Take till there's nothing
Nothing to turn to
Nothing when you get through
Won't you break
Scattered pieces of all I've been
Bowing to all I've been
Running to
Where are you?
Where are you?


Did you leave me unbreakable?
You leave me frozen?
I've never felt so cold
I thought you were silent
And I thought you left me
For the wreckage and the waste
On an empty beach of faith
Was it true?


Cuz I...I got a question
I got a question
Where are you?


Scream
Deeper I wanna scream
I want you to hear me
I want you to find me
Cuz I...I want to believe
But all I pray is wrong
And all I claim is gone


And I...I got a question
I got a question
Where are you?
Yeah....yeah
And where...I...I got a question
I got a question
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?
Where are you?

7. Scarlet

If I was your love
I would want only you
I'd lay at this alter
Give all I am, all that is true


And this old scarlet letter won't
Keep me from holding you
And there is nothing you can do
Nothing you do
Nothing you do


For love I have scaled the face
Of these kingdom walls
So let down your hair
Let our kiss make fools of them all



Nothing you do
Nothing you do

O-oo-woo....nothing
O-oo-woo.......
O-oo-woo....nothing
O-oo-woo....nothing...you do
O-oo-woo....nothing you do


And this old scarlet letter won't
Keep me from holding you
And there is nothing you can do
And there is nothing you can do
No there is nothing you can do
You do

You do...

8. Whatever She Wants

All her wants to fill a need
She wants to save you with
Her bandages after she makes
You bleed
Like a vampire, a parasite
Stretch the necks of her victims
She finds her prey in broad
Daylight
So when you're up, she's down
You're down, she's up
It whips around, it's the ride
The way that she needs it


Whatever she wanted
For whatever you need
Speechless and silent
While she takes everything


Kryptonite underneathe
You used to be her superman
But now you're fading
Now you're weak
Never how or why
It worked to play the big lie
To dim the truth
From causing her wet eyes



Everything...yeah



She takes everything
Whatever she wants
It's everything

9. The Eleventh Hour

Trace the shape of my heart
Till it becomes more familiar
To your eyes
I've been lost without you
Cold without your love
It's taken days and nights
To make me realize


Rescue me from hanging on this line
I won't give up on giving you
The chance to blow my mind
Let the eleventh hour quickly
Pass me by
I'll find you when I think
I'm out of time


Take the place of my heart
Till I become a stranger to my life
I've been down without you
Wrong without your love
In time will I be what
You're thinking of



Out of time


I've been down without you
Cold without your love
In time will I be what
You're thinking of



Time...time...time

10. These Ordinary Days

Not much for conversation
I still find need to pray
Sometimes I get tired of walking
Through these ordinary days
If nothing else I get to see you
Even if we never speak
The harm of words though sometimes
We don't quite know
What they really mean


I don't know where
I don't know how
I don't know why
But your love can make
These things better


So let me lay down in this field
And stare up at the sky
I hope the days and clouds
Turn into something
As they pass us by
And maybe you could settle
For a skyline faded blue
I hope that you might settle
For this love I have for you



Your love can make these things better
Your love can make these things better
Your love can make these things better

11. The Edge Of Water

Have you ever been haunted
The way I've been by you?
And have you ever felt
The measure of the days
That I've spent waiting
Pining for you?


I can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel Your breath
For the wind
I don't want to step from
Thes shadows
Till you're comin' back again


I've dammed these emotions
To keep my lanterns lit
Shaken by this longing
Coursing through my veins
In my mind, I can't make sense of it


Can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel Your breath
For the wind
I get so used to these shadows
Are You comin' back again?


Do we give up the search
And turn out the lights?
And give up this Holy Ghost
That rattles through the night?


Can't see the sun for the daylight
I can't feel Your breath
For the wind
I don't to step from these shadows
Till you come back again
Can't see the sun for the daylight
Can't feel Your breath
For the wind
I get so used to these shadows
Will You chase away these shadows
When You come back again?

When You come back...again
When You come back...again
When You come back...again

When You come back
When You come back...again
