Signs
03:25
|
|||
You stare at empty spotlights
The circle never ends
Stand and sing your heart out
From the chorus line again
And it promises perfection
But you bruise so easily
And it feeds your insecurity
Like a river does the sea
And you say it takes you closer
But I swear it robs you blind
You say you didn’t see it coming
But you should have seen the signs
You wear your insides out again
Soon you will forget
All the truths you tore in two
For your bonfire of regret
And It promises protection
But it brings you none at all
Your hopes are always doomed to rise
As your chances start to fall

The Bridge
04:04
|

Car went over the bridge tonight
Disappeared in the fading light
Breaking through like the crack of bones
Now its here and then it’s gone
Don’t go too far
Don’t go too fast
I will be here when you make it back
Car went over the bridge tonight
Tail lights fading out of sight
Rolling over sinking like a stone
Now its here and then it’s gone
This could be your last chance
So you just can’t sit it out
Try to pick your feet up
All you do is twist and shout
And ripples run away from you
All the way back home
Now you’re in the moment
Now you’re here and then it’s
Gone gone gone
Down down down again
Don’t go too far
Don’t go too fast
I will be here when you make it back

This Side Of Madness
04:04
|

This side of madness
There's a place where you could be
And in your sadness
Well it's just the place you want to be
And when the morning comes
You stumble as the angel dances
If it's the last thing you should do
Don't give up on your chances
This side of madness
There's a place and you could be there
And in your sadness
If it's just too much for you to bear
And when the morning comes
You stumble through the same old dances
If it's the last thing you should do
Don't give up on your chances
This side of madness
There a place that you should see
And as your sadness fades away
You will be standing here
And when the morning comes
Don’t stumble as the angel dances
If it's the last thing you should do
Don't give up on your chances
You could be there

Setting Sun
03:38
|
|||
Faith isn’t reason
But you want it to be
You can paint me by numbers
Or kill me by decrees
But I can’t forgive you
The truth you’re fighting hard not to see
Blinds you like the setting sun
Falling as the day is done
Rips you like a hurricane
Tears you into two again
It’s taking all the skin and bone
And turns it into dust and stone
Another day and we’ll be gone
From underneath the setting sun
Fate isn’t a reason
To do as you please
Everything Changes
If you change anything
And all I can give you
Is the truth you’re fighting hard not to see
Blinds you like the setting sun
Falling as the day is done
Rips you like a hurricane
Tears you into two again
It’s taking all the skin and bone
And turns it into dust and stone
Another day and we’ll be gone
From underneath the setting sun

Just A Boy
04:02
|
|||
Once there was a boy
He thought he was a lonely boy
Electric heart protects him from the world
If you never let it in you can never let it out
He was just a boy
Then there was a love
That grew inside of everything that he was
Defective heart beating on one side
Then there was another love
That grew in spite of everything
Collective heart, beating on all sides
The rest is silence
Your words are wasting in the wind
The rest is silence
You wait until your dreams begin again
He was just a boy
He was just a lonely boy

North
04:37
|
|||
I hold on my dreams
It’s harder than it seems
I should let them be
I’m too stubborn to believe
That nothing’s gonna change
Weighs heavy on my soul
So much more than you could know
My head is in my hands
I try to understand
And I keep on heading up
And the lessons I could learn
Impatiently I burn I burn it burns
When I’m against the wall
There’s just one way to fall
And I keep on heading up
To hold on my dreams
Is harder than it used to be
I stumble and I fall
I’m not perfect after all
And I keep on heading up

Mockingbird
03:53
|
|||
You leave me singing like a mocking bird
I tried to tell you this is my world
You leave me singing like a mocking bird
Tried to tell you
You already heard
I’ll sing when the morning comes
Sing when I want to
I’ll sing when the morning comes
I’ll sing when I want
Oh my my my
Mmmm my my my
I’ll sing when I want

Breath in the moment
Shine until it’s over
Tell me I’m chasing ghosts in my head
Tell me lies and I’ll believe you
But don’t tell me that I wasn’t lonely
Lost in a sea of faces and nobody knows me
Don’t tell that I am the only one
I’m the fish that swallowed the moon and I’ll do it over and over again
Feel for the moment
Blind until it’s over
Send me out in the darkest of nights
Send me lies and I’ll believe you
But don’t send me back
Back to where I came from
Lost in a sea of faces, I could have been anyone
Don’t tell me
Don’t tell me now
Lost in a sea of faces, but I got through somehow
Don’t tell that I am the only one
I’m the fish that swallowed the moon
And I’ll do it over and over again

I Could Be Wrong
04:35
|
|||
On any other day I wouldn't be talking to myself
Seems my head got broken with my heart
And everything is changing faster than it ought to be
Can't see the end
I know this is the start
I hope I’m right, I know I’m right
I hope I’m right, I know I
I could be wrong
I guess I might
You’ve always been here the longest night
I don’t have a god
And I wont have you
I could be wrong
If there was any other way I wouldn’t be here in this place
I've reached the end of tearing me apart
Unsympathetic strangers and a fear of what could be
Can't see the end
I know this is the start
I could be wrong
And never know
You’ve always been here to guide me home
I don’t have a god
And I wont have you
I could be wrong

Unfull Son
04:31
|
|||
To sleep the perfect sleep
Like a river wraps around your head
And draws you underneath
Down here where silence creeps
In every conversation and its drowning, out its drowning out
Unfull son what have you done
Crawled into the ashes disappointed everyone
Hopes so high faces to the sky
You can’t return you crashed and burned
You have to wonder why
I feel I never sleep
I just stare in empty spaces where the darkness used to be
I hear the silence creep
I’m not the same am I to blame
And deeper in too deep
Nothing lasts forever and that’s all you get to keep
And fear and silence creep
I’m not the same am I to blame
Unfull son what have you done
Crawled into the ashes disappointed everyone
Hopes so high faces to the sky
You can’t return you crashed and burned
And now they wonder why
My unfull son what have you done
I’m not the same
Am I to blame
My unfull son what have you done
You’re not the same
You’re not I to blame my unfull son

Man You Never Knew
02:17
|
|||
I stand here on the outer limits
You see me from so far away
Like a promise I had to deliver
I did everything in my own way
If it’s true that we all get a visit
And just fifteen short moments of fame
Well it must have come true
When I was out of the room
I wouldn’t change
I’m just the same man you never knew
I’ve got love on my left side
The stars at my right
I’ve got family and friends at the door
And though it would have been nice
Now I’d have to think twice
I wouldn’t change
I’m just the same man you never knew
I wouldn’t change
I’m just the happy man you never knew
