Visions
[Verse 1]
Here we are again
The same old place
There's still a fire inside
And new lines on my face
[Verse 2]
Everything's the same
But it's all changed
The pieces still make the same picture
Even though they've been rearranged
[Verse 3]
Another day you've said
And we'd have twisted it all around
But then we left it where it lay
'Else we would've burned it to the ground
[Verse 4]
But I can't admit that
And I said I never would
I don't believe in Heaven but some things might be sacred
At least I think they should
[Verse 1]
Here we are again
The same old place
There's still a fire inside
And new lines on my face
[Verse 5]
And in the blackest dead of night
Was having nightmares of these awful things
Things I wouldn't ever want to think about
Let alone turn into words to sing
[Verse 6]
Was there something that I missed?
Along the way that was profound?
Is the nature of things to come to us screaming (and)
And for us to cover up the sounds?
[Pre-Chorus]
Then I saw something, and that's when I fell ill
So then I saw someone, but they just gave me pills
Then I just felt worse, so I turned away
And I became a place that I don't wanna stay
[Chorus]
I don't want these visions anymore
I was king for a day, well, not anymore
I don't want these visions anymore
So open up the doors and help me up off the floor
[Refrain 1]
La la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la, la la
La la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la
[Verse 7]
And then one day at a Union Station
I thought that the marble would eat my wife
And that the people around me were magic
And that I was a certain czar in a past life
[Verse 8]
But it was just the so-called medicine
Having me make these strange decisions
And so when I stepped into the daylight
That's when I had a clear and beautiful vision:
[Bridge]
I wanna live again, I wanna make amends
I wanna start anew, I wanna change the end
I wanna stick around, I wanna stay in touch
I wanna do some good, I wanna have enough
I wanna build new things, I wanna make it right
I wanna work each day, I wanna write each night
I wanna be in love, I wanna be the one
I wanna be something, I wanna be someone
[Verse 1]
Here we are again
The same old place
There's still a fire inside
New lines on my face
[Verse 2]
Everything's the same
But it's all changed
The pieces still make the same picture
Even though they've been rearranged
[Chorus]
I don't want these visions anymore
I was king for a day, well, not anymore
I don't want these visions anymore
So open up the doors and help me up off the floor
[Chorus]
I don't want these visions anymore
I was king for a day, well, not anymore
I don't want these visions anymore
So open up the doors and help me up off the floor
[Refrain 2]
La la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la, la la
La la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la, la la
La la la la la, la la la la, la la
La la la la la, la la la la, la la
