Okay, just when you think you have it all figured out... I think life likes to throw us a few curve balls every once in a while to remind us who's boss. It must be amusing to watch. We pride ourselves on our sophistication and our ability to make choices...and then we fall flat on our face anyway. There is nothing like a simple dose of mad love to take us completely beyond the rational and into the universe of possibilities...regardless of the consequences. This is what life is about, really. The universe of possibilities is where we find creativity and vitality and yes, on a good day, maybe even that elusive "love" thing. I'm a sucker for that, and so I'll go there every time. This recording is a testimony to that fact. Christopher Wynn 1997 |

Aftermath Already Gone Disappointment (Like A Bullet) Lessons in Breathing Confessing Euphoria Bloomed and Finally Flowering Affection Try Aftermath Can you hear me Are you all alone I'm sending you a message through Some psychic telephone Pick it up now And say hello Say how much you've contemplated How much I should know Can't you hear me crying That I'm all alone (all alone) I can't replace the feeling Of what we had before I can hear you saying That you're still confused (still confused) Why can't we find a way to Break through this wall Can you feel me Sleeping in your skin When the dreams that come And say you're done Try to hold you in Don't reveal me Cause it won't be long Till the days and days and days and days Finally make me strong Can't you hear me crying That I'm all alone (all alone) I can't replace the feeling Of what we had before I can hear you saying That you're still confused (still confused) Why can't we find a way to Break through this wall Smash it up now Cut me to shreds/let me Slowly bleed and slowly seed What little earth is left Capture tears now And let them rain Till they become a flood That turns to mud And brings you back again Can't you hear me crying That I'm all alone (all alone) I can't replace the feeling Of what we had before I can hear you saying That you're still confused (still confused) Why can't we find a way to Break through this wall  Already Gone It's 2 A.M. And my heart's already gone We broke the rules again And now I'm way too far along I can't believe this The way that I need this Who were we kidding all this time? I am so sorry my friend Who'd have thought we'd feel this way I fought it since the day you came along But now my heart's already gone Trace the days And see the patterns forming fine In a directionless world We form a very straight line I can't believe this The way that I need this Who were we kidding all this time? I am so sorry my friend Who'd have thought we'd feel this way I fought it since the day you came along But now my heart's already gone ~~~~~ It makes me angry to feel this way Why can't I control it Keep these emotions at bay It rains down like water Washing resistance away Spinning around me Each and every day It makes me ecstatic to feel this hope Emotions break chains that my life has invoked And I'm screaming out That I'm feeling this way Don't be afraid friend Peace is on its way ~~~~~ It's 2 A.M. And my heart's already gone I'd break the rules again It may leave only this song I choose to embrace this How much love can change this Who were we kidding all this time? Our breaths are coming faster my friend So blessed to have this thing We fought it since the day we came along But is the heart already gone? Disappointment (Like A Bullet) Disappointment came today like a bullet Disappointment came today like a bullet And nobody could have seen The way it was to be Oh the pain came today like a bullet Like a bullet And I had dreams today I'm a dreamer (I had dreams, I had dreams of love) And I had hope today Like an angel (Spread your wings today and fly) And nobody could have seen The way it was to be Oh the pain came today like a bullet (thru my soul) Like a bullet (thru my soul) All that I knew of you All that I heard you say Said you were good Said you were good (repeat) And nobody could have known The way it was to go Oh the pain came today like a bullet Like a bullet (Like a bullet) Like a bullet Lessons in Breathing I could use a few lessons in breathing I could humble myself and give in And all the while pretend it's not me who's needing A sanctuary where I can fit in A state of suspended animation Atoms floating by that can't collide What could result from their collision? Take cover in yourself deep inside These are the things that you cling to These are the things you take in stride And we search deeper for the meaning Or feeling meek we try and hide Do you prefer to believe that you need that Or harden your heart and resign To live a life that's self-sufficient... omniscient A Prisoner of thoughts left behind I could use a few lessons in living Step up to your pool and dive in And all the while feel you inside me (swim beside me) I can hold my breath but till when? So what is the thing that we're made for It's live alone or hitch a ride So afraid to make decisions in living We cover our eyes and stand by These are the things that you cling to These are the things you take in stride And we search deeper for the meaning Or feeling meek we try and hide Do you prefer to believe that you need that Or harden your heart and resign To live a life that's self-sufficient... omniscient A Prisoner of thoughts left behind Confessing Euphoria Confessing, confessing oh euphoria (Can you feel it?) It's something good, so spend some time And open up your mind Confessing, confessing oh euphoria (Can you feel it?) It's understood, that for this time You'll taste this bliss of mine Put down those thoughts Put down those fears that hold You in Come with me to another side Oh yes and, Hold my hand Cause life is pretty rough now (I'm not gonna lie now) But try and smile cause miracles abound... Confessing, confessing oh euphoria (Can you feel it?) It's something good, so spend some time And open up your mind Confessing, confessing oh euphoria (Can you feel it?) It's understood, that for this time You'll taste this bliss of mine Bloomed and Finally Flowering Good day and I'll tell you all good morning Today I'm putting my best foot forward It's true I doubted for a moment That I'd find my home Today I'm standing proud of myself And you say, how could you have done anything else? We never doubted for a moment That you'd come back home It's not easy, it's not easy, it's not easy To be alone Break those self-made chains that bind you Put the ghosts of past behind you Give it all another chance No more darkness filled with cowering Love has bloomed and finally flowering Give it all another chance Come in and join the dance... I've searched everywhere for all the answers And I've paid with my heart, flesh and mind I never dreamed for a moment That I'd find it all In your smiles Today I'm standing proud of myself And you say, how could you have done anything else? We never doubted for a moment That you'd come back home It was not easy, was not easy, was not easy To be alone Break those self-made chains that bind you Put the ghosts of past behind you Give it all another chance No more darkness filled with cowering Love has bloomed and finally flowering Give it all another chance Come in and join the dance... Affection It's with hope and trepidation That you're sitting at this table And you hope that tonight is the one So with bigger smiles and warmer laughs The candle's burning down fast You hope that this time they're the one And you're needing affection And you're craving affection And you hope this time you've won You're needing affection And you're craving affection So you're not afraid to be alone You even pride yourself on being strong Surely, these achings finally end With you're tender face pressed to the glass The world it seems is rushing past With smiles and kisses and couples... Couples holding hands And you're needing affection And you're craving affection And you hope this time you win You're needing affection And you're craving affection (Instrumental) And you're needing affection And you're craving affection And you hope this time you win You're needing affection And you're craving affection Try There's a way that we can be so bad And there's a way that we can be so good And in a way we can be so completely Misunderstood (misunderstood) There's a way that we use all our words To lash out, to forgive, to be heard, And we scream at the top of our voices This is absurd (this is absurd) And no one here would deny it No one here would deny it (Repeat) We reach out a compassionate heart We withhold the most delicate part We withdraw from the deepest feelings Before they start (before they start) So now you see this... That it's just not black And it's just not white at all Somehow you need this... So you try and try And sometimes get it right Don't be afraid to be misunderstood Don't be afraid to let your voice be heard Oh the fear is just a distraction From finding love (from finding love) So embrace your compassionate heart Give away the most delicate part And reach out because you'll find the strength And the warmth of light (and the warmth of light) And no one here will deny us No one here will deny us (Repeat)
