Caedmon's Call
Standing Up For Nothing

Well, I can't stop staring at myself;
My face reflected in this empty plate.
I can't decide if it's the devil
Or if it's just something I ate.
'Cause he's been down there all morning.
He's patiently waiting at my gate.
He's throwing rocks at my window.
Hey won't you come on out and play with me?

But everyday when I get up
I see folks trading in their crowns
for all these paper or plastic lives;
An opiate for the masses hounds.
And pride, like a vestige of lives lost.
It's the stench of the old folks coming 'round.
Now with the news I heard today,
I can't tell if this world is lost or found.

You go; I'll be waiting here.
And I'm awake, I cannot sleep.
So I'll sit upon this rock is you.
I ain't standing up for nothing.

Well, I've never seen my congressman,
But I can't deny that he exists.
'Cause I've seen his legislation pass;
I've seen his name on the ballot list.
Same, I can't deny this fallen world.
Though not my home it's where I live.
How can I preserve and light the way
for a world that I can't admit I'm in?

'Cause I know who I say You are,
But these crows can't be made to stop.
So I'll sit denying by this fire
I ain't standing up for nothing

Lack of interest leads to,
Lack of knowledge leads to,
Lack of perspective leads to,
Lack of communication leads to,
Lack of understanding leads to,
Lack of concern leads to,
This complacency denotes,
This approval denies
The truth.

But I can't stop staring at myself;
It's my face reflected in this empty plate.
And I know that it's the devil.

So You lead; and I'll be close behind.
So You speak and I'll hang on Your words.
You've got to lift me from this hardened tree,
'Cause I ain't standing up for nothing.



Mirror lyrics:


'Cause I ain't standing up for nothing.
You've got to lift me from this hardened tree,
So You speak and I'll hang on Your words.
So You lead; and I'll be close behind.

And I know that it's the devil.
It's my face reflected in this empty plate.
But I can't stop staring at myself;

The truth.
This approval denies
This complacency denotes,
Lack of concern leads to,
Lack of understanding leads to,
Lack of communication leads to,
Lack of perspective leads to,
Lack of knowledge leads to,
Lack of interest leads to,

I ain't standing up for nothing
So I'll sit denying by this fire
But these crows can't be made to stop.
'Cause I know who I say You are,

for a world that I can't admit I'm in?
How can I preserve and light the way
Though not my home it's where I live.
Same, I can't deny this fallen world.
I've seen his name on the ballot list.
'Cause I've seen his legislation pass;
But I can't deny that he exists.
Well, I've never seen my congressman,

I ain't standing up for nothing.
So I'll sit upon this rock is you.
And I'm awake, I cannot sleep.
You go; I'll be waiting here.

I can't tell if this world is lost or found.
Now with the news I heard today,

And pride, like a vestige of lives lost.

Hey won't you come on out and play with me?
He's throwing rocks at my window.
He's patiently waiting at my gate.
'Cause he's been down there all morning.
Or if it's just something I ate.
I can't decide if it's the devil
My face reflected in this empty plate.
Well, I can't stop staring at myself;

too much of a good thing

por un amor

night wants to forget

pictures

fries

knee deep in pills

mother i miss you

sunflower

la cruz de santiago

where is the sun

i just don't think i'll ever get over you

man in the making

fade away

be

ins through mental

when i need you

fly like a bird

where did our love go

que sera mi vida

sleep well, my angel
