6:00

"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..." [4 times]
"And for what?"
"Well, isn't it for the honor of God, [Samples from the film "The Dead",]
Aunt Kate?" [an adaptation of James Joyce's ]
"I know all about the honor of God, [short story from his book ]
Mary Jane." ["Dubliners". ]

Six o'clock the siren kicks him from a dream
Tries to shake it off but it just won't stop
Can't find the strength but he's got promises to keep
And wood to chop before he sleeps

I may never get over
but never's better than now
I've got bases to cover

He's in the parking lot and he's just sitting in his car
It's nine o'clock but he can't get out
He lights a cigarette
and turns the music down
but just can't seem to shake that sound

Once I thought I'd get over
but it's too late for me now
I've got bases to cover

Melody walks through the door
and memory flies out the window
and nobody knows what they want
'til they finally let it all go

The pain inside
coming outside

So many ways to drown a man
So many ways to drag him down
Some are fast and some take years and years
Can't hear what he's saying when he's talking in his sleep
He finally found the sound but he's in too deep

I could never get over
Is it too late for me now?
Feel like blowing my cover

Melody walks through the door
and memory flies out the window
and nobody knows what they want
'til they finally let it all go

But don't cut your losses too soon
'cause you'll only be cutting your throat
And answer a call while you still hear at all
'cause nobody will if you won't

Panic Attack

All wound up
On the edge
Terrified

Sleep disturbed
Restless mind
Petrified

Bouts of fear
Permeate
All I see

Heightening
Nervousness
Threatens me

I am paralyzed
So afraid to die

Caught off guard
Warning signs
Never show

Tension strikes
Choking me
Worries grow

Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight to flight
I don't know why I'm constatly so uptight

Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest
Agitated body in distress
I feel like I'm in danger
Daily life is strangled by my stress

A stifling surge
Shooting throught all my veins
Extreme apprehension
Suddenly i'm insane

Lost all hope for redemption
A grave situation desperate at best

Why do I feel so numb
Is it something to do with where I come from
Should this be fight to flight
I don't know why I'm constatly reeling

Helpless hysteria
A flase sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed by anxiety

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delerium

Helpless hysteria
A false sense of urgency
Trapped in my phobia
Possessed bu anxiety

Run
Try to hide
Overwhelmed by this complex delerium

Queen-Save Me

It started off so well, they said we made a perfect pair
I clothed myself in your glory and your love,
how I loved you, how I cried.
The years of care and loyalty were nothing but a sham, it seems
The years belie we lived a lie I'll love you 'til I die.

Save me save me save me, I can't face this life alone
save me save me save me, I'm naked and I'm far from home.

The slate will soon be clean I'll erase the memories,
To start again with somebody new,
was it all wasted, all that love?
I hang my head and I advertise a soul for sale or rent
I have no heart I'm cold inside, I have no real intent

CHORUS

Each night I cry I still believe the lie I'll love you 'til I die.

Save me save me save me, I can't face this life alone
save me save me save me, Don't let me face my life alone.
save me save me save me, I'm naked and I'm far from home
