Burden

Always a do or die situation
You can only see in black and white
But you never thought, never thought that I'd be
A little different this time, and
Not every color that you will see
Is the real one every time
Let me clue you in on complexity
And everyone is so very fine
And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside

And as you wasted time playing detective
Is it to figure out my mystery?
Well let me tell you now that I'm no secret
'Cuz I can sin before you righteously
And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside

Don't grow bored to quickly
I haven't finished yet
I know it must be painful
To hear what's left unsaid
Don't refuse
It's no use
You can not run from this
Just sit still
And listen
Listen to all you missed
But it's always a do or die situation
You can only see in black and white
But you never thought, never thought that I'd be
A little different this time

And I didn't mean to be a burden
Just thought I'd share a little light
But I thought you needed to know something
Something that comes from the inside
Something that comes from the inside

All I ask

Stumbling down a road lined with signs
It's obvious I'm in the wrong direction
But I won’t stop now you know I feel fine
Just lookin’ for some affection

All I ask is to be able to hold on longer
And all I ask is to be able to walk on water
Walk on water

I figure it won’t be long it won’t be hard
Just got to get my feet back on the ground
Oh and
Just gotten a hold of some unlucky cards
They and I have yet to make another round

All I ask is to be able to hold on longer
And all I ask is to be able to walk on water
Walk on water

No one lent a hand no one laid a look upon me
Visible to everything but blame
No and
No one cared to tell no one dared to believe in anything and
left me to drown in this pain
 
All I ask is to be able to hold on longer
And all I ask is to be able to walk on water
Walk on water

Wonder

When the pressure will not fade away
When the real things starts to become fake
When you can’t recognize your own hands
Turn around and begin again

When the sky starts ripping and falling in
The horizon is no longer calling please
Don’t try to make it on emptiness
Turn around and begin again

But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure

If your eyes become glazed with indifference
If your screaming with lips that are silent
If you can’t find light in the day
Turn around and begin again

But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure

When you cannot find yourself anywhere
If your standing but feel your not really there
If your waiting for someone to catch you
Turn around and begin again

If you can’t seem to find what’s been to be found
In a heart that pumps rage as your only sound
If your waiting to be blown away
Turn around and begin again

But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure

But now and then
Now and then
I wonder.

All I ask
....

Hi,

I think All I Ask is the exact same as what we already have up on NH.com.  Can you compare?

About her dog, it was called Maggie. Somehow they always milked the stories about her dog in the interviews over here (about her ruining ATM demo version) but never so much as mentioned it in the U.S interviews.

Oh and thankyou so much for the lyrics!

All I ask

Stumbling down a road lined with signs
And savvy as a [mirror?] in the wrong direction
But I won’t stop now you know I feel fine

i think it's

"It's obvious i am in the wrong direction"

[divasteph]

tricia have you recieved your tape yet?

i cant wait to hear - will the usual "kazaa" have it up?

[DutchNessaHolic]

i think so.. but it should be up somewhere else aswel...

since everyone would get access

not just *kazaa*

[tricia]

I don't know that we're actually putting it online.  I know we are doing an open B&P.  Andrew will post more details about that when he gets his copy...should be early next week.

I know that I will not be putting them up, what *Kazaa* does is *Kazaa's* thing.  *shrug*

And yes, I did receive my tape.  It has the same flaw as Greg's.  Who the freak only records half a song on one side of a tape. o_O

[divasteph]

which song is there only half of?

and when will kazaa know what kazaa is doing - because i am anxious to see what this tape is all about -  

[Dancernl]

i'm getting reeeeeaaaaally excited!!!!!!  YAY!

[onajourney]

All I ask

i think it's

"It's obvious i am in the wrong direction"

I agree.  I was not happy with my version i knew it was probably incorrect.

Also, I adopted a couple of other changes which were better in the nh.com version.  But, I don't think i agree with "fumbling down a road".  I hear a distinct "st" sound.  I think it is "stumbling".  just my take.

[Vultch]

not just *kazaa*

The tape is being shipped overnight, so around Friday night or Saturday there should be something.
People that contributed will get first crack at em.
In an online MP3 form or CD tapetree will be available if they so desire.

So they wont be available on KaZaA till a week or two later.

[divasteph]

oh ok - but kazaa should have something ---
thanks guys - i wish i could have contributed but i am broke and it's no joke!!!
