01. Needle and Haystack Life

The world begins
with newborn skin
we are right now

you're a needle girl
in a haystack world
we are right now

you breathe it in
the highs and lows
we call it living

in this needle and haystack life
I've found miracle's there in your eyes
It's no accident we're here tonight
we are once in a lifetime

no, don't let go
don't give up hope
all is forgiven

you breathe it in
you breathe it in
we call it living

in this needle and haystack life
I've found miracle's there in your eyes
It's no accident we're here tonight
we are once in a lifetime

all is not lost
all is not lost
become who you are
it happens once in a lifetime

in this needle and haystack life
I've found miracle's there in your eyes
It's no accident we're here tonight
we are once in a lifetime
we are once in a lifetime
we are once in a lifetime

02. Mess Of Me

I am my own affliction
I am my own disease
there ain't no drug that they can sell
there ain't no drug to make me well

there ain't no drug
there ain't no drug
it's not enough
the sickness is myself

I've made a mess of me
I want to get back the rest of me
I've made a mess of me
I want to spend the rest of my life alive
I've made a mess of me
I want to get back the rest of me
I've made a mess of me
I want to spend the rest of my life alive
the rest of my life alive

we lock our souls in cages
we hide inside our shells
it's hard to free the ones you love
when you can't forgive yourself
can't forgive yourself

there ain't no drug
there ain't no drug
there ain't no drug
the sickness is myself

I've made a mess of me
I want to get back the rest of me
I've made a mess of me
I want to spend the rest of my life alive
I've made a mess of me
I want to reverse this tragedy
I've made a mess of me
I want to spend the rest of my life alive
the rest of my life alive

right

and there ain't no drug
there ain't no drug
there ain't no drug
no drug to make me well
there ain't no drug
not enough
I'm thinking of
the sickness is myself
the sickness is myself

I've made a mess of me
I want to get back the rest of me
I've made a mess of me
I want to spend the rest of my life alive
I've made a mess of me
I want to reverse this tragedy
I've made a mess of me
I want to spend the rest of my life alive
the rest of my life alive

03. Your Love Is A Song

I hear you breathing in
another day begins

the stars are falling out
my dreams are fading now, fading out

I've been keeping my eyes wide open
I've been keeping my eyes wide open

ooh, your love is a symphony
all around me
running through me

ooh, your love is a melody
underneath me
running to me

your love is a song

the dawn is fire bright
against the city lights

the clouds are glowing now
the moon is blacking out

I've been keeping my mind wide open
I've been keeping my mind wide open

ooh, your love is a symphony
all around me
running through me

ooh, your love is a melody
underneath me
running to me

oh, your love is a song
your love is a song

oh, your love is a song
your love is a song

with my eyes wide open
I've got my eyes wide open

I've been keeping my hopes unbroken
yeah, yeah

ooh, your love is a symphony
all around me
running through me

ooh, your love is a melody
underneath me
running to me

your love is a song
yeah, yeah
your love is my remedy
your love is a song

04. The Sound (John M. Perkins' Blues)

The static comes in slow
You can feel it grow
Our stream of conscience flows
Under the streets below

oh, oh

The rivers made of sound
Still running underground
Runs like a silent flood
we run as thick as blood

can you hear it rise
up from the ground
can't drown it out
can you hear it now

this is the sound
of a heartbeat
this is the sound
from the discontented mouths
of a haunted nation
we are the voice of breaking
down

can you hear me?
this is the sound
of the desperation bound
by our own collision
we are the voice of breaking
down

the static comes alive
beneath the broken skies
john perkins said it right
love is the final fight

oh, oh

let it rise above
rise above
there is no song
louder than love

this is the sound
of a heartbeat
this is the sound
from the discontented mouths
of a haunted nation
we are the voice of breaking
down

can you hear me?
this is the sound
of the desperation bound
by our own collision
we are the voice of breaking
down

let it rise up
up from the ground
can't drown it out
can you hear it now

this is the sound
of a heartbeat
this is the sound
from the discontented mouths
of a haunted nation
we are the voice of breaking
down

can you hear me?
this is the sound
of the desperation bound
by our own collision
we are the voice of breaking
down

this is the sound
this is the sound
