Quicksand Jesus bt Skid Row

 She caught the melting sky

It burned but still the winter passes by and by

To the other side

A slow parade of wind

That blows through trees

That wilted with the season's children

Are we saved by the words of bastard saints?

Do we live in fear or faith?

Tell me now who's behind the rain

A maze of tangled grace

The symptoms of for real

Are crumbling from embrace

But still we chase

The shadows of belief

And new religion clouds our visions of the roots

Of our souls

Are we ashamed of our own fate?

Or play the fool for our own sake?

Tell me who's behind the rain

What do we need?

Where do we go?

When we get where we don't know

Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow?

When faith's our shelter from the cold

What do we need?

Where do we go?

When we get where we don't know

Why should we doubt the virgin white of fallen snow?

When faith's our shelter from the cold

Quicksand Jesus

I'm so far away without you

Quicksand Jesus

I'm so far away without you

Quicksand Jesus

I'm so far away, away

Quicksand Jesus

I'm so far away

Quicksand Jesus

I need you

Quicksand Jesus

I believe you

Quicksand

I'm so far away

Take me away

Wasted Time By Skid Eow

 

You and I together in our lives

Sacred ties would never fray

Then why can I let myself tell lies

And watch you die every day?

I think back to the times

When dreams were what mattered

Though talking youth naivete

You said you'd never let me down

But the horse stampedes and rages

In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time?

Can you look at yourself

When you think of what

You left behind?

Is it all just wasted time?

Can you live with yourself

When you think of what

You've left behind?

Paranoid delusions they haunt you

Where's my friend I used to know?

He's all alone, he's buried deep within

A carcass searching for a soul

Can you feel me inside

Your heart as it's bleeding

Why can't you believe

You can be loved

I hear you scream in agony

And the horse stampedes and rages

In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time?

Can you look at yourself

When you think of what

You left behind?

Is it all just wasted time?

Can you live with yourself

When you think of what

You've left behind?

You said you'd never let me down

But the horse stampedes and rages

In the name of desperation

Is it all just wasted time?

Can you look at yourself

When you think of what

You left behind?

Is it all just wasted time?

Can you live with yourself

When you think of what

You've left behind?

The sun will rise again

The earth will turn to sand

Creation's colors seem to fade to grey

And you'll see the silky hands of time

Will write your final rhyme

And end our memory

Oh, no!

I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy

Oh, I never thought

I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy

Oh, no!

I never thought

I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy

No!

I never thought you'd let it get this far, boy

In A Darkened Room by Skid Row

 

In a darkened room

Beyond the reach of God's faith

Lies the wounded

The shattered remains of love betrayed

And the innocence

Of a child is bought and sold

In the name of the damned

The rage of the angels left silent and cold

Forgive me please for I know not what I do

How can I keep inside the hurt I know is true

Tell me when the kiss

Of love becomes a lie

That bears the scar of sin too deep

To hide behind this fear

Of running unto you

Please let there be light

In a darkened room

All the precious times

Have been put to rest again

And the smile of the dawn

Brings tainted lust singing my requiem

Can I face the day

When I'm tortured in my trust

And watch it crystalize

While my salvation it crumbles to dust

Why can't I steer the ship before it hits the storm

I've fallen to the sea but still I swim for shore

Tell me when the kiss

Of love becomes a lie

That bears the scar of sin too deep

To hide behind this fear

Of running unto you

Please let there be light

In a darkened room
