Balancing Poorly
04:23
|
|||
|
she tries to push me away
nothing that i can do
so hard just to maintain
and keep my mind focused
to not let my eyes betray
i’m watching her slide away
into the abyss, call it nothing
call it nothing
cause it’s hardly a place
she tries to drive me insane
nothing that i can do
so hard just to maintain
and keep my mind focused
to keep holding on’s all that matters
though it’s probably just the same
as these moments keep fading away
this is all that remains
behind this wall
so impossibly high
and we’re balancing poorly
watch us fall from the sky
i wish i could keep you from falling
(further and further and further and further away)

U Know
04:24
|
|||
|
you said it a thousand times before
i know, i know, i know
as if you thought i wasn’t listening
anymore
if i could i would ease your sorrow and your pain
so you won’t ever have to say these things again
so tired of, always missing
what you say, every single time
i think my hearing is just fine
you know, you know, you know
in fact it gets better all the time
the problem lies in what you think I think you say
it seems to change and change
every other day
so tired of, always missing
what you say, every single time
your mind is wonderfully half aligned
and i can’t ever know
what you mean to say
and through the years you should remember
please quit saying “told you so”
it won’t matter anyway
so tired of, always missing
what you say, every single time

Wasted
04:30
|
|||
|
this whole place
going down the drain
and i’m going along for the ride
nobody forced my hand
nobody made me this way
nobody tried to stop me either
it’s not what i say, what i do
it’s everything all at once
you’re staring at me across the room
like you think you know the truth
between the ground and the sky and you
what a waste
all this time we knew
we both have nothing left to hide
you’re staring at me across the room
afraid of what we know is true
between the ground and the sky and you

Her
03:41
|
|||
|
is it the medication
that makes her stare off into space?
those little pills in the bottle
grab your collar
smack you in the face
i want to make an appointment to see
that drug, so he will give her back to me
give her back (give her back) to me
give her back (give her back) to me
it’s been a while since i kissed her
but i remember and that’s why i stay
cause it’s pulling on my heartstrings
so much that they’re torn and frayed
i want to make an appointment to see
her drug, so he will give her back to me
give her back (give her back) to me
give her back (give her back) to me
and at the end of the day
when she’s fading away
i’m reaching out to hold her
but she’s pulling away
it’s got to be her new prescription
oh why can’t she see?
i need to blame this all on anything
anything else but me.

Lost the Will to Fight
05:23
|
|||
|
he’s hiding in plain sight
sends a message, don’t bother
drive away, refuse to fight
and try to be the father
left alone with the radio
and wipe away my tears
weakness reveals the truth
every breath, i breathe for you
you’re just too young to see
holding on to something long
ago, i can’t compete
with this ghost that haunts your
imaginary me
selective memory
i’m not perfect
but you can’t judge me
torn between competing fantasies
i can’t, promise
your wants equal your needs
so erase this line between us
try to focus on the prize
if i get you out alive
when i’m gone you’ll survive
i don’t want to fight you anymore
i refuse to play your little game
win or lose who cares it’s both the same
pull the answers from your mind
apologies are hard to find
i’m not sorry
apologies are hard to find

So High
04:36
|
|||
|
it was your eyes
that saw into my soul
the me that nobody knows about
and magic kisses
that make you float up
so high, i am, so high
and i fault your dreams
they’re not the same as mine
but now you’re gone
I will never see
The you that first made me smile
and all my wishes
to be with you
tonight, oh please just tonight
but I fault your dreams
they’re not the same as mine
and even now your eyes
haunt my waking life
and all your kisses keep me
warm at night
and i swear i hear you whisper
in my ear everything will be alright

Safe
04:20
|
|||
|
you come to me
and i’ll take your hand
and you take my heart
it’s just a start
and i’ll come to you
and our love will soar
up to the stars
that’s pretty far
away, you’re safe, with me
i’ll be what you want me to be
just say your mine
til the end of time
no other love can compete
we’ll show the world what love can be
i know that i can make you see
you can be happy here with me

Following
04:25
|
|||
|
i’d like to live among the bees
fly from hive to flower
and do my honey dance
for all the fellas
no senseless purpose
no one doubts my resolve
no one pushes me around
we’re all the same after all
i’m so tired of all the following
can’t take it anymore
i never want to be the queen
and wear a pollen crown
never get to fly outside
and smell the flowers
too much pressure
filling all the combs with bees
on my hands and knees
i’d rather do just as i please
i’m so tired of all the following
can’t take it anymore
its all or nothing or i can’t feel
pleasure or purpose nothing in between
can make me feel so much better

Nobody
04:11
|
|||
|
for every choice I’ve made
another path unfolds
this is but one of many ways
the story could go
we’re waiting for the train
but we’ve been here before
once on you’re sped away
while you watch yourself from behind
the you that changed your mind
i am alive i am alive
and every me that’s come before
whatever i need to survive
cause life is a playground or nothing
now i’m the last alive
reflecting on the others
your questions make me tired
confusion starts to creep
through my troubled mind
i am alive i am alive
and every me that’s come before
whatever i need to survive
cause life is a playground or nothing
just like the other ones
my choices do define me
i’ll take my chances here
whenever this may be
it’s all a mystery
the ways the story could go
i am alive i am alive
and every me that’s come before
for every choice i didn’t make
another me opens a door
and life is a playground or nothing

Starring at the Sun
03:26
|
|||
|
i’m tired of waiting for
the mail to come today
it’s obvious your letter’s
not on its way, but i still stay
i’m staring blankly up
into the cloudless sky
don’t ask me why, i’m going blind
staring at the sun
the doctor’s office just won’t
pick up their phone
they said quit coming round and
could i please just stay at home
i’m guessing there’s no cure for this
hole i have inside
don’t ask my why, i’m going blind
staring at the sun
and i’ll keep waiting
and you’ll keep breaking my heart
there’s no debating
you never loved me from the start
i’m done with trying
i’m sure i’m dieing
then i won’t have wait for you anymore
