From the album Collaborator

lyrics

I wanna weep in the moonlight
I wanna sleep in the rain
I wanna walk on the line between pleasure and pain

I'm gonna follow the vision
And lie among Yorick's sweet bones
I'm gonna rattle the ground where they sit on the thrones

My battle's begun
I've got no army at all
I'm not gonna run
So why waste time learning to crawl

I want it all
Yeah I want it all
With my head in my hands I heard my father call
And I want it all

Sanity tries to escape me
I'm dreaming of handsaws and hawks
I think I'll go crazy if I don't get out of this box

I'm breathing the pestilent vapors
I'm holding the world in a shell
I wanna see heaven, I've already lived here in hell

I'm walking on wind
I'm not gonna fall
From here where I stand
The world looks decidedly small

I want it all
Yeah I want it all
I can see everything when my back's to the wall
And I want it all

My head's in the sun
I'm a thousand feet tall
From here where I stand
The world looks decidedly small

I want it all
Oh yes I want it all
With my blood on the sword I heard destiny call
I want it all

I want it all
Oh yeah I want it all
With my hand in the sky I heard destiny call
I want it all
